As a traditional Serie A giant, Inter's defense is still guaranteed.

As long as they want to defend, as soon as the skillful Italian defensive chain is opened, three iron chains are straddled in front of Manchester City, and the effect is very obvious!

Soon, Manchester City found it difficult for them to break into Inter's penalty area.

Only with De Bruyne's constant long-range shots from outside the box knock on Inter's goal!

However, after a few shots in the opening game, Inter goalkeeper Handa was very careful and focused on De Bruyne's shots.

As long as De Bruyne swung his legs, Handa's leg muscles also tensed instantly!

High catch block, always try to keep the goal intact!

In this way, Inter stayed until the end of halffield.

On the way back to the dressing room, Ye Chen, Bastoni, Deflé and other players gave high-fives to Handa.

"Good Handa!"

"Beautifully saved, if it weren't for you, we would have conceded more than two goals!"

"It's still you steady!"

Handa's forehead was covered with beads of sweat.

He took off his sweaty goalkeeper gloves and gave his head a fan.

"I haven't been so tired in a long time, it feels like I'm not playing football, I'm training with De Bruyne! You boys give me a fight, score a goal in the second half, my pressure is too much! Zhan

Jun and Xu Yang were sitting in the studio, also sweating profusely.

Especially Zhan Jun.

The studio was already hot, and he was extremely nervous, always worried about Inter goals being breached.

Every time De Bruyne shoots, Zhan Jun's little heart pops and goes, as if it is about to pop out of his throat!

This famous commentator is a loyal fan of Ye Chen and has a very good impression of Inter.

In addition, Zhan Jun is a Liverpool fan, with a trace of hostility towards Manchester City, so he does not want Manchester City to beat Inter and go further in the Champions League and overwhelm Liverpool.

"The two teams dedicated a half-time offensive and defensive drill, one-sided suppression, according to statistics, in the first half, Manchester City shot 16 crazy shots, 7 hit within the goal range, and Inter actually did not shoot!"

"In terms of possession, Manchester City 82%, Inter 18%, such statistics, it is unbelievable!"

"Let's ask Xu Yangxu to guide and comment on the performance of both sides."

In front of Xu Yang, there was a blank piece of paper with nothing written on it.

In the past, he would watch the game while writing and drawing on it, recording important moments so that he could comment on the performance of the two teams at halftime.

But now on the paper in front of him, it is empty.

What else to write?

This is obviously Manchester City's half-time attack and defense.

Xu Yang's expression smiled a little embarrassed.

"As Zhan Jun said just now, Manchester City achieved an overwhelming advantage in the first half, Inter were completely suppressed in the half, and it was difficult to even reach the half of Manchester City."

"I said before that after Pep Guardiola's three-and-a-half-year coaching experience, showing the blue moon in front of us is an exceptionally mature team, both in terms of the team's fighting power and the mental cohesion of the players."

Xu Yang paused, "But I didn't expect that Manchester City's strength was so strong that in the face of a Serie A powerhouse like Inter, it could completely suppress them, which I didn't expect at all before the start of the game!"

"I guess Inter boss Conte didn't expect Manchester City to be so strong, so his on-the-spot adjustment is very tragic!"

Zhan Jun was stunned, "Oh, how is it a tragic method?"

Xu Yang sighed and shook his head

, "Conte has obviously given up attacking, he is going to defend a 0-0 at home in Manchester City!"

"Ten minutes after the first half, Conte sent Italy's traditional chain defense, and even attacking players such as Ye Chen and Lautaro retreated to the back, defender position to participate in the defense."

"So much so that Inter didn't have a shot on goal in the first half!"

"Of course, if they can stay 0-0 at Manchester City's home stadium, it will be a very ideal result, Inter can leave here with a smile, after all, this is the first time in nine years that they have reached the last eight of the Champions League, and Manchester City are already regular visitors to the knockout stages of the Champions League!"

Zhan Jun pushed his glasses and nodded.

"In 9 years, you can change so many things."

"Nine years ago, in 2011, Inter were the European champions who had just won the treble, and Manchester City, shortly after being acquired by Middle Eastern oil tycoons, did not have any trophies in the team's honor room."

"Today, nine years later, Inter have returned to the Champions League and entered the Champions League knockout stage again, and they face opponent Blue Moon, who has won the league four times in these nine years, becoming a regular in the Premier League and Champions League knockout rounds, and the two teams are worth twice as much!"

"Serie A is in decline, while the Premier League is at its peak."

"We wish Inter the best of luck in the second half!"

In the second half, Conte continued to play a chain defense.

Like the commentator Xu Yang, Conte is iron-hearted, and he wants to defend Manchester City 0-0!

Manchester City saw that they could not attack Inter's penalty area, smashed headers, small forwards in the forward line, and did not have a height advantage.

So he simply sloped the donkey.

Didn't you let us shoot from distance and didn't want us to attack the box?

Okay, then we'll shoot like crazy!

Bang bang!

Not only De Bruyne, but also many players such as Sergio Aguero, Sterling and Gundogan have pulled down outside the penalty area, turned into heavy gunners on the pitch, and fired at the Inter gate!

Some of these cannons are thick in caliber and some with a thin caliber, but under a chaotic bombardment, Inter's city is crumbling and will collapse at any time!

Goalkeeper Handa was so tired that he drank several sports drinks.

I'm a 36-year-old veteran, how come I came to do the dirty work today, more conspicuous than you young people.

This situation lasted until the 75th minute of the game.

De Bruyne shot too wide and was held in Handa's arms.

Just as the Inter players breathed a sigh of relief once again and were ready for the next long-range shot from Manchester City,

Handa sprinted and drove the ball out with his big foot!

He observed that Ye Chen suddenly started!

Ye Chen held his breath for the whole time, and he ignored Conte's order to die.

He's going to try it once!

And Handa comprehended Ye Chen's intentions!

Manchester City's backline is very pressing!

At the moment when Ye Chen received the ball, in front of Ye Chen, there was no midfielder, only two central defenders!

Ye Chen took the ball forward two steps, wondering if he would simply shoot a burst shot in the midfield, catching goalkeeper Ederson off guard, just like he had hung Juve goalkeeper Szczesny in the previous half.

Suddenly, a figure in a white shirt struck, it was Lautaro!

It turned out that the moment Handa opened his big foot to Ye Chen, the Argentinian Lautaro also sensed the opportunity.

He followed Ye Chen to plug in at high speed, almost parallel to Ye Chen!

"Ye Chen faced Ming against Manchester City's two-sided central defender and got a rare opportunity to get the ball!"

"What will he do, is it a pass or a shot?"

"Huh? There is an Inter player on the left who cuts in at high speed, and it looks like Lautaro! "

Ye Chen passed the ball!"

"The football crossed the gap between two Manchester City centre-backs and Lautaro cut in to get the ball!"

"Is it offside? No offside, no flag raised by the linesman, it's a good ball! "

Lautaro strode meteor, he ran very fast!"

"Manchester City's defenders couldn't catch up with him, Lautaro was in the box in a blink of an eye!"

"Lautaro!"

"Lautaro is single-handed!"
