"It's a perfect victory!"
Gao Han's words at the post match press conference made the front page headlines of major media newspapers all over the world.
No matter from the score or from the process of the game, it can be said that Inter are impeccable and under the control of inter from the beginning to the end.
"After the game, Sir Alex has the grace to congratulate Gao and his Inter Milan. At the same time, he also said that the bad heavy rain made Manchester United very uncomfortable and the game became more difficult, especially in the face of Inter Milan, who are excellent in passing and controlling
Green Wald, a well-known journalist for the guardian, commented in his column.
"But if we go deeper, there are a lot of interesting details hidden in the game
"According to the data we got after the game, Inter's possession rate in this game is not high, only 52.3%. In other words, Manchester United has 47.7% possession rate, while Inter's passing success rate has reached 82.8%, while Manchester United has only 77.3%
"In terms of attack, both inter and Manchester United have 13 shots. However, Inter have eight straight shots, but Manchester United have only one. According to our statistics after the game, most of Manchester United's shots are long-range shots from the outside of the restricted area. This is the reason why the Red Devils have low shooting efficiency and can also reflect the anxiety of Manchester United players."
"In terms of interception, Inter's steals are amazing, reaching 23 times, while Manchester United have only 12 times. There is a big gap between the two teams, which can also reflect the situation in some games
At the end of the column, green Wald wrote: "if we only analyze from the game data, it is not difficult to see that inter do not have the overwhelming advantage as shown by the game process and score. However, I believe that all those who have witnessed the game will doubt the authenticity of the data."
"But I would like to say that the data of OPTA company is true, and what we saw in the game is true. The problem lies in Inter's handling of various details, which is also the time of possession. Manchester United can only be forced to fall in the middle and back of the court, but Inter can use the pass to tear up the defense. Obviously, the latter reaction is more ornamental on the court and more likely to impress us."
"In this strong dialogue, inter showed a very comprehensive and rich offensive and defensive routine, especially the two goals in the first 30 minutes of the first half, which was very important and laid the foundation for the victory
In contrast to green Wald's high praise for Inter's performance, the sun and other newspapers have attributed Manchester United's defeat to the poor performance of the players, especially Heinze and Wes Brown.
Daily Mail columnist Martin Samuels criticized the two players by name.
"Heinze and Wes Brown's performance is a disaster. It's a tragedy for them."
Martin Samuels has targeted United's back line and believes Ferguson has high hopes for the two players, but their performance has not been convincing, especially for Wes Brown.
"The whole game he lived in the shadow of Ibrahimovic. The Swedish center firmly dominated Manchester United's penalty area, especially the third goal, which completely showed his fatal weakness as a centre back. He even gave Ibrahimovic the chance to shoot after stopping the ball calmly in the penalty area."
Many British media have also accused Heinze that Ferguson's reuse of the Argentine left back is a huge mistake.
"Ferguson is a gambler, but he is wrong in this game."
"Back to the familiar left back, Heinze proved with a disastrous performance that he is still the most difficult part to rest assured
"It's hard for us to believe that he made such an unforgivable mistake in such a high-level match as the final eight of the Champions League. It was he who suddenly passed the ball across the restricted area, which almost caused Ibrahimovic's steals. Ferdinand had to make a big break, and even slipped to the ground in a hurry, which opened the prelude of the second goal."
But the British media also said that zero to three is not a manifestation of the real strength of the two sides.
"It's a game decided by the first half an hour."
However, the Italian media obviously do not think so. They think that if Inter Milan did not slow down their attack after the victory, if it was not for the heavy rain last night, then Manchester United would probably encounter a humiliating score at the meacha stadium.
"We can see that at the beginning of the game, Manchester United was completely suppressed and Inter Milan frequently got excellent opportunities. If it wasn't for the heavy rain, I'm afraid the score in the first half hour would not be 2-0, but at least it should be more than 4-0."
"There's something wrong with the state of Manchester United's players, but the overall strength of Inter is better than Manchester United
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Manchester United's mediocrity reflects the strength of Inter.
"Throughout this season's Champions League journey, Manchester United's performance is not satisfactory. There are many loopholes in defense and lack of attack. Even Ferguson's most proud on-the-spot commander in the past has been lost in this game."
"Yes, Sir Alex is limited by the team's lineup and has few cards to change. However, under the strong pressure of facing inter on the road, he ignores his team's defensive instability and is completely looking for his own death."
"On the defensive side, Ferdinand's recovery from injury was not stable, but he took the lead in this game. His performance was really eye-catching, but Wes Brown's clumsiness greatly reduced Ferdinand's performance."
"Of course, the heavy rain makes the field slippery, which is not conducive to defense, but Manchester United's overall defense is not good, which is not only highlighted in this game
"In contrast to Inter, it's still the usual 4-3-3 tactics. The cold weather makes it easy for everyone to guess his starting line-up. However, the excellent performance of Ya Toure and Cristiano Ronaldo, the players' calm and relaxation in the game make people see the strength of Inter
"The whole game seemed to be a struggle for Manchester United, but Inter played very flexibly. They didn't have a direct confrontation with their opponents. They didn't have that kind of quick and fierce collision. They were more skilled and fluent in passing and receiving
"It can be said that the cold Inter Milan used this game to explain to all of us the true meaning of the whole football and pass control football. Manchester United is like a blind bull in front of them
La Gazzetta dello Sport also highlighted one player, Veron.
"After leaving Manchester United, the white wizard went through several downturns, but under the leadership of the cold, whether it is Chelsea or Inter Milan, they all showed a very high level. In this game, facing the old club Manchester United, Veron perfectly explained his ability and characteristics, and let Ferguson clearly see his strength."
"This season, the fans of the meacha stadium have stood up many times after the match and applauded for Veron. He is the core of the midfield of inter and one of the best players of the season
"He didn't score, though
When the media praised Inter's 3-0 win over Manchester United, the management of inter also spoke highly of Gao's coaching ability and the performance of the players.
Club president Facchetti told the media after the match: "it's a wonderful victory. We are surprised to see the great changes of the team. The cold brings us a wonderful gift. I sincerely hope he can coach inter forever."
But for the team to advance to the semi-finals, and even have a chance to enter the finals, Facchetti showed a mature side.
"It's too early for us to talk about promotion, because we all know that a 3-0 score can only give us a certain advantage, but we still need to do more to get to the semi-final or even the final."
"But I believe that as long as the players can maintain the excellent performance of this game, then we have the ability to fight for the Champions League and we will have a bright future
