Italy crossed Belgium and David defeated Goliath. The two blue and black cores are their own masters, they hug deeply before the game, and then fight head-to-head after the opening whistle, and never let go of the inch. Lukaku, who was 1.91 metres old, left the Italian defence on ice and closed the gap for the team before twelve yards, but his golden opportunity squandered in the second half was even more impressive. Barrera, who was 1.72 meters old, opened the record with a world wave and became the brighter star.
Always tireless and always trying, you sometimes find some shadow of Forrest Gump's spirit in Barrera – Italian football has Lodetti, Tardelli and Berti, but in today's new generation of players, such traits are quite rare. The young and old Barrera, at the age of 22, wore the captain's armband on his hometown team Cagliari. At that time, he was already the best young midfielder in Italy, but he really came to the attention of most people after joining Inter Milan.
In his hometown, Barrera can enjoy the stars and the moon; coming to Pinetina at a high price, he needs to prove as soon as possible that he deserves the blue and black jersey he wears. How many new stars have fallen into this step, not even necessarily because of style and laziness, and Sensi, who came to Inter with Barrera, must know this taste. Barrera was not overwhelmed by the weight of the giants and has been improving since his first day in Milan.
Last season, Inter Milan, who had been away from the Tricolor Shield for 11 years, finally scored a dollar, while Barrera completed the evolution of the individual level: the right side became the main direction of the team's attack, and Barrera's combination with Lukaku and Ashraf in attack also won two consecutive waves of victories for Conte's team, earning the league championship. He began to shine on the big stage, no longer as a green leaf, but as a real protagonist. In the Champions League, Barrera faced Real Madrid and gave Lautaro an assist with his heels, but unfortunately the Bernabeu was renovating, and his starlight could only shine on the Di Stéfano Stadium; in the national derby, Barrera was a passing achievement, but the Mea viewing platform that night was empty, and the fans could only witness a burst of inter midfield in front of the TV, making Szczesni disarm and let the nine-time champion Juve walk off the throne.
Madrid-Milan-Munich. This time, Barrera finally waited for his moment with the fans at another great stadium. In the 30th minute of allianz night, an Italian free-kick was sent into the box with a single kick, and Mobile fell to the ground in a confrontation that could have won a penalty for the team. Mancho's side did not leave their fate to the referee, taking advantage of the Belgian's mistake, they set off a second wave of attack, Verratti direct pass, Barrera behind vertonghen, he leaned on the opponent with his body to save the ball; in front of him were Hazard Jr. and Vermalen, who tried to block the way forward of the Inter midfield, Barrera used another light pull to pull the ball and shouted sesame seeds to open the door.
After the opening of the moon, Barrera's low shot into the far corner of Courtois's goal was already logical. The Blues have made the perfect start for themselves with a proactive style of play, but Barrera's versatility and technical ability are also crucial in scoring goals. In Mancini's 433 system, Barrera is the one in the three midfielders who is responsible for the attack, and he will form a huge attacking group behind center Emmobile along with Spinazzola, Insigne and Little Chiesa. Seeing that several others have won, the best midfielder in Serie A last season chose to break out in the most crucial battle.
The goal ignited ten thousand Italian fans in the Allianz stands, and the most excited of them was certainly the player's father, Luca. Mentor Conte is currently on vacation, but he must have been equally relieved to see love shine on the TV screen. Both Barrera and Mancini need to thank Conte: a fantastic boy with a lot of hard work, perfectly matched the tactics of the former Inter manager, and Conte's mention also allowed Barrera to improve his technical level at high speed while maintaining a lot of running, and also learned to insert the attack at a better time.
Mancini, who is usually silent after the team's goal, is also in the face of Barrera's world wave, and behind this magnificent goal, there is also a military medal of Conte. Previously, the Blues played beautiful football in the European Cup, but Barrera never became the protagonist, and the light was even overshadowed by Pescina, who had scored two goals before. Even so, in Mancini's mind, Barrera's main position has never wavered – a little stubborn, a little superstitious, and the Blues manager has always believed that Barrera will be the hero of the team in the next game. The Italians called it "Berzotism", and the pipe coach of the year took Barrera's template Tardelli and won the Hercules Cup. Mancini and Barrera, have a chance to replicate the glory of their predecessors?
