A focus battle in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals is about to be played at Anfield Stadium at 4am Beijing time on March 9, and Inter Milan will be away to liverpool.
In the first leg of the meeting between the two sides, Inter Milan lost 0-2 at home to the powerful Liverpool, but at that time, sitting at the home of Meazza, Inter Milan still played back and forth with Liverpool in the first 60 minutes of the game in the absence of Barrera and other main players, and the scene did not fall behind.
Veteran Perisic's wing corridors were still able to turn Liverpool's defence upside down, but Inter's forward line lacked a hammerhead, and Lautaro and Dzeko couldn't really get half a point in front of Liverpool's impenetrable defence.
By the 60 minutes of the game, when Inter's fitness slot was exhausted, Liverpool's squad was fully developed, and after a wave of injuries in midfield at the beginning of the season and the difficult period when Mane and Salah could not represent Liverpool during the Africa Cup of Nations, Liverpool were currently well-manned in all positions.
Especially in the winter transfer window, but also the introduction of a breakthrough in the front of the all-rounder Dias, Liverpool is now a strong team, Klopp coached Liverpool for so many years, finally can also play a rich battle, the intuitive performance is that when Klopp even changed a number of people, little Inzaghi stupid standing on the sidelines do not know who is available on the bench, and finally Inter Milan lost 0-2 at home, not the fault of the war, it is really a war.
Although Inter Milan lost to Liverpool in the first leg, Inter Milan, which has not reached the knockout stage of the Champions League for many years, can also be regarded as winning a reputation for themselves, but the price of this reputation is slightly tragic, as we all know, what kind of style Liverpool is, and it is necessary to pay a very huge consumption if it can compete with Liverpool.
Such attrition led inter milan to fail to win in the next two rounds of Serie A, and the opponents were not very strong, especially the 0-2 loss at home to Sassuolo, the most undeserved, so easy to waste points, it is easy to be punished at the end of the season.
So, the question is, going to Anfield away to Liverpool, what kind of mentality should Inter Milan have to play against Liverpool? If you fight hard, you can't say that there is absolutely no chance, but Anfield has always had the reputation of the devil's home stadium, which has created countless miracles, but the protagonist of the miracle has always been the home team Liverpool.
If Inter Milan continues to hold the mentality of fighting together for the first time in Liverpool, regardless of the result, the consumption of physical strength and willpower will inevitably have no impact on Inter Milan's next Serie A, and this is the key moment for the Serie A championship team to grab points, it is really a game that cannot be lost, and what is in front of Inter Milan will be a dilemma.
But isn't Liverpool affected? In the past, maybe, now it is difficult, in the past period of time, Liverpool's schedule has been very close, but Liverpool, which has food and blood in hand, can already rotate in a large area in many games, and has not affected the record on all fronts, and has also taken a League Cup by the hand.
Even during Mane and Salah's participation in the African Cup of Nations, Liverpool also gritted their teeth and survived, and now the team not only has strong reinforcements such as Dias and Konath, but also Elliott, Thiago and other injured numbers, and can also return in time, Liverpool really has the ability to fight a war of attrition and a protracted war on multiple fronts.
