This season, as Juventus and Barca both began to rebuild, Real Madrid's veterans began to gradually wither away after sending Zidane. The traditional giants of the European continent seem to have entered hibernation mode this winter. Originally, everyone thought that this year's Champions League would be less exciting than in previous years, but what they did not expect was that the few Champions League round sixteen knockout matches that had just been played were still a wonderful and excellent football feast for world fans. Mbappe's killing is certainly moving, and Manchester City's iron crushing is to tell the world that there is still no shortage of top giants in European football. Even if these traditional giants such as Emperor Saren have begun to fall, the back wave is attacking the forward wave in an unstoppable posture. In the just-concluded first leg of the liverpool-Inter matchup, the collision between the two famous managers of Inzaghi Jr. and Klopp will definitely not lack heat, and inter and Liverpool under the coaching of the two will give fans a textbook-level fight.
Serie A and the Premier League collide, tactical football and hot-blooded football meet, who can win?
As the two top two giants in the Serie A and Premier League, the two teams represent the highest level of their respective leagues, it is worth mentioning that in the past, Inter were often in the Europa League, even if they could occasionally enter the Champions League, they could only taste in the group stage, until last year under the coaching of the famous coach Conte, they finally became the champions of the Serie A season. At this point, Inter naturally got the opportunity to impact the Champions League knockout rounds, and this time to be in the top sixteen is also a privilege they have never had in ten years.
As for Liverpool's unbeaten record of 42 games since the 2020 season, although Liverpool has seen frequent decline in subsequent games, it is quite incredible to be able to dominate the Premier League. Klopp's proud disciples formed a "trident" formation in the Premier League and even in European football. With this formation, Liverpool actually has the capital to compete with any big club.
The ultra-high standard treatment given by Klopp, little Inzaghi enjoyed it calmly
Before this game, the outside world was more optimistic about Liverpool's victory, although in the first half of this season, Liverpool suffered a lot of problems of one kind or another, and even at one point was full of injuries, as the indispensable "key gentlemen" Salah and Mane have just returned to the team. Fortunately, injuries and the absence of key players have been resolved before this match against Inter. Mane and Salah have teamed up with the younger Jota to form Liverpool's toughest trident squad at the moment, and no giant dares to slack off in terms of this attacking squad alone.
They should be honoured to face Liverpool's kindness to Inzaghi Jr. and his coaching Inter, because this is the treatment of the strong. In the eyes of industry insiders, using such a luxurious lineup to welcome National Rice is itself a recognition of Inter.
Klopp confronts Little Inzaghi, one move at a time to seal his throat with blood
In the face of the menacing Premier League Reds, Inter Milan will certainly not stand still. Their ability to grab the Serie A title trophy in the hands of Juve and AC Milan shows in itself that they are not easy to mess with, and Inzaghi Jr., as an excellent young manager, has ambitions and abilities that are proud of the entire European football world. Although Inter is slightly inferior in terms of the team's lineup and hardware strength, Inzaghi Jr. is very good at using targeted tactics to make up for the disadvantages in the lineup, and they have been doing very well in the past.
After the game whistle, the tactical game between Klopp and Inzaghi Jr. has begun, and the players on the field are even more consistent with the manager's tactics. Throughout the game, whether it was two managers or players on both sides, they did everything they could, and the game was extremely exciting and professional.
Such a peak battle, no one should want to win easily
Liverpool were determined from the beginning to crush Inter's defence in one fell swoop, but Klopp clearly underdoged the strength of Inter's players, although Inter Milan has not been able to participate in the Champions League round of 16 for 10 years, but in the face of the big scene, Inter Milan is still not vain. Judging from the possession rate and offensive data in the first half, Liverpool had an absolute advantage, and indeed created many shooting opportunities, but even if the situation was dangerous, Inter Milan's rear defense was extremely calm, there was no flaw, and the players showed no signs of panic. He even took advantage of some of The Gaps in Liverpool's attack to launch a shot ahead of Liverpool.
In the 45th minute of the game, after the previously good performance of Char khan oulu on the wing, he completed a small angle burst, but unfortunately the crossbar of the goal blocked the opportunity for Char khan oulu to make a contribution, Inter's tenacious fighting spirit and sharp counterattack obviously made the Liverpool generals break out in a cold sweat. Liverpool, which had intended to overwhelm their opponents, did not fully open up the situation in the first half. The story does not end here, and when the second half began, Lautaro and Zheko also showed quite sharp offensive intensity, and even turned the situation around for a time, and began to launch a high-pressure attack on the Liverpool midfield, the sudden change, so that Liverpool's former midfielders were embarrassed, fortunately, the Liverpool players reacted very quickly, and finally did not let Inter succeed.
Mr. Key once again stepped forward at a critical moment in the game
By the last twenty minutes of the game, the situation on the field has entered a white-hot situation, and the last twenty minutes of this game are probably the most difficult twenty minutes on the sidelines since Klopp's season, watching the game be smothered with a 0-0 score, and the manager Klopp at this time has reappeared as a madman. In the second half, when he was at his most tangled, he assigned Henderson, Díaz and Keita to the field. Fans had thought that Klopp would swap the players in the front, but he did not expect that at the last moment, he would put his hand in the midfield position.
It has also been proven that Klopp is a master of a generation, and his control of Liverpool players has reached the point of pure fire, and this substitution is ostensibly to reinforce the midfield, but in fact provides Salah with a key ammunition supplement. On the other hand, inter's side, although their starting lineup is not a point behind Liverpool, the depth of the bench is obviously a notch lower. Liverpool, which had a fresh force at the crucial moment, immediately opened fire, and Salah's goal made Inter's military heart suddenly chaotic.
Salah scored twice, and Inter milan lost!
Although inter players launched a fierce counterattack after Salah's goal in an attempt to equalize, Salah's first goal was already toppling the first Donomi domino. Liverpool, who had already gained the upper hand, did not give their opponents any chances, and Salah completely completed the final sentence against Inter Milan after scoring twice. Inter lost their last chance to save the game, which ended with a score of 2-0.
From the score alone, Inter suffered a complete defeat, but this game, whether it is the tactical game of the two managers, or the technical and tactical level displayed by the players on the field, can be called first-class. Inter lost the game in the end, but won the respect of everyone, including their opponents. Whether it is a home fan or an away fan, after having the privilege of witnessing such an epic competition, you can't help but give every player on the field the warmest applause. In this game, the top tactical football in serie A and the iron-blooded pride of the Premier League collided violently and artistically, and finally presented a wonderful and wonderful game. Perhaps only such a game deserves to be called a defeat! In the future, please do not arbitrarily humiliate the four words "although defeated and honorable"!
