The second half of the game started again.
After Yi Bian played again, Chelsea took the lead in kicking off, but after only two or three passes, the ball moved to the feet of Inter Milan. It seems that the blues are ready for this, and they don't love to fight. They still want to press as hard as they did in the first half.
But there is an obvious change for Inter, that is, Yaya Toure's position has fallen back a lot.
This also allows the Nerazzurri in the back of the field more than a stable point.
The Ivorian midfield has both offensive and defensive abilities, and the ability to take and give the ball is also very good. With his echo, Inter Milan began to consciously slow down the speed of the ball, trying to stabilize the rhythm.
But where will Chelsea let it go?
The two sides soon ignited the second half with a controversial decision.
It happened in the 47th minute when inter suddenly shifted the ball to the left, Adriano headed the ball to the top of the penalty area, and Ibrahimovic inserted the ball and rushed into the penalty area.
As the Swedish center was about to catch up with the ball, Terry took the lead to get the ball out of the way, but at the same time, he also knocked down Ibrahimovic, and the Swedish center fell directly into the restricted area of Chelsea.
Referee van der Waals waved decisively, indicating that Terry did not foul.
"From the slow motion replay, Terry really completed a very wonderful break-up. He first touched the ball and lost his weight before he fell to Ibrahimovic, who also fell to the ground."
"But the fans of Inter Milan seem to be very dissatisfied with the referee's decision. There are boos in the stands. They think it should be a penalty instead of a corner kick
Inter quickly sent out a corner, Vidic grabbed the first landing point, heading to the right side of the goal, but slightly out of the way.
This attack completely ignited the enthusiasm of the Olympic Stadium, the two teams began to actively participate in the game.
Especially Chelsea.
Jose also realized that inter could not control the ball and slow down the pace of the game, otherwise, Chelsea would be a lamb on the slaughter table, so he asked the players to increase the pressure.
For a time, the pitch was filled with smoke again, and there was always a scene of people tumbling.
Maybe it was influenced by Adriano's header ferry at the beginning of the second half, or the Brazilian center started to reach the almost equal position with Ibrahimovic in the second half, forming a good interaction, which made Ashley Cole dare not go forward easily.
However, Essien from the right side got more opportunities and was more active. He even stepped into the position of the right avant-garde and even the right forward, and actively participated in the front court's closing down and counterattack.
In the 51st minute, after the Chelsea midfield intercepted the ball, they launched a counterattack, which was to pass the ball to the right. After receiving the ball, Essien killed directly to the bottom line, but was tripped by Evra who was defending from the side.
This time, the referee van der Waals did not hesitate to show a yellow card to Evra.
The entire Olympic stadium was booed.
But Evra didn't defend, because he knew it was a foul.

"Chelsea are playing very hard on the right and Essien is really active in this game
"Yes, from this point of view, using Essien in this match will definitely be one of the best decisions of Jose
"It not only freezes Cristiano Ronaldo in defense, but also plays an obvious role in attack. The Ghana Buffalo has plenty of body, so it doesn't feel tired at all when they sprint back and forth."
"Who said no? Is three lung Essien a fake
"Now that Chelsea are more and more ahead, they have entered the 30 meter area of Inter Milan. We should give countermeasures as soon as possible. Otherwise, if we continue to do so, we will definitely have problems."
"Who said no? If you look at Drogba, you are always looking for opportunities
……
The reporters in the media area are talking about it, which makes Lin Xia, who is sitting in the middle of them, anxious.
She is very clear about the grudge between Jose and Gao, and also very clear that over the years, he has been eager to beat Gao, so tonight's battle is very important for them.
Mussini gambled on the future, Gao Han gambled on the reputation, no one can lose.
"Javier, you said, why didn't he find out that the attack from the right side of Chelsea was so fierce?" Lin Xia asked strangely.
Even her half bucket of water fans can see that, she does not believe Alpine will not see.
Matayana nodded and said: "yes, he should be able to see it, but you see, Cristiano Ronaldo is active in defense, but he usually doesn't go back to his own half easily. On the contrary, Ya Toure is more active in defense."
"What do you mean?" Lin Xia doesn't understand.
"I was thinking, could it be arranged on purpose by the high cold?"
"On purpose?" Lin Xia was a little surprised.
Is that possible?
Which coach will deliberately arrange loopholes, let the opponent to play?
But if it's not intentional, why can't Alpine see the problem that everyone can see?
And he's still standing there with his hands in his pockets?
Matayana has been involved in professional football for decades and has rich experience. He has seen a lot of games and soon found out some clues, especially the different strategies of high cold for the left and right flanks of Chelsea.
Adriano is a direct suppression of Ashley Cole, so after the second half, the left side of Chelsea is basically relying on Kalou to fight alone, Ashley Cole rarely dare to forward.
However, on the right side, Cristiano Ronaldo seems to be willing to relax his mark on Essien and let the Ghanaian players step forward frequently, even more and more, while he seems to be lying in wait for opportunities in the front court.
Is this an accident?
"If I'm not wrong, alpine should be deliberately trying to grab one side and put the other side, so that Chelsea can concentrate on attacking on the right side, but it can only form a threat on the side by passing, but Alpine has great confidence in Cannavaro and Vidic."
From the second half point of view, Cannavaro's around the front defense and preemptive point, repeatedly defused the pass of Chelsea, while Vidic did not fall behind in the process of winning several times, at least did not give Drogba the chance to threaten the goal.
This should be the base of opening the right passage in the cold.
It's just, is that really OK?
…………
…………
"Just a little bit, just a little bit!"
In the chairman's stand, Abramovich was more and more excited.
Especially when he saw Evra's left side slip again and ran to block, he didn't know if he stepped on the pit on the grass, faltered and slowed down. Essien took the opportunity to pass the ball to Anelka.
After the French forward received the ball, he ran into the penalty area and then knocked, but Kalou, who came up from the back point, grabbed the ball under the interference of Maicon, but failed to play, and the shot hit Cesar's arms directly.
Although it's a pity to waste a good chance to score, the Chelsea fans in the stands are still very excited.
Just now, it was only in the 30 meter area. Now it's directly into the forbidden area. Next, is it necessary to score?
"Jose is still very capable, and in the second half he was able to force inter like this. It's not easy Abramovich is quite satisfied with the coach who has been selected by himself.
The premise, of course, is that he has to beat Gao.
Peter Kenyon is not a senior football fan, but he has been involved in European football for many years and knows how to watch the ball. So he is very strange. Why is inter a little passive on the scene, but not affected by the cold?
From the second half, alpine always put his hands in his pants pocket to watch the game.
On the other hand, it seems that he is anxious to shout to the sidelines, but the noise is so loud that they can't hear what he is shouting at all, but they always feel that things are not so simple.
How is it like that the advantage of Jose is more tense than the disadvantage of Alpine?
Is there something wrong?
But now, Abramovich is in the mood. How dare Peter Kenyon pour cold water on him?
At this time, Chelsea once again broke the ball to form a counterattack, still oblique to the right side.
Anelka sticks to the right line to get the ball. Essien quickly pushes forward again. After receiving Anelka's pass, he wants to cut into the middle, but Yaya Toure sticks in his way.
As a last resort, Essien can only pass back to Anelka.
But just when Anelka was about to catch the ball, Evra suddenly jumped out, grabbed the French striker, gave a foot poke, and directly poked the ball to Yaya Toure.
The Ivorian quickly went forward to receive the ball, but Essien was close to him for the first time.
Yaya Toure skillfully protected the ball and then passed it to Evra who pulled out of the neutral. When Essien wanted to rush up again to press for it, suddenly there was a curse in his ear.
"Fool, come back
Essien looked up in amazement and was immediately stunned to see Cristiano Ronaldo in his own defence, surrounded by a defender in a Chelsea shirt.
The Ghanaian didn't think much, gave up the decision to press Evra for the first time and rushed back.
But he's fast, Evra's faster.
After bypassing Anelka's defense, Evra passed the ball to Cambiasso, who ran to meet him. The latter made a long cross and sent the ball past the midfield to the left.
Cristiano Ronaldo sprinted forward with great speed, caught up with the ball and waded into the 30 meter area of Chelsea without being marked.
Andrade first time back to defense in place, but did not choose close, but to maintain a certain distance, because he noticed that Ibrahimovic and Adriano are also in the first time fast forward sprint, will soon rush into the forbidden area.
And his teammate Essien is also fast back to defense, as long as Essien can come back
Before Andrade thought of it, he saw Cristiano Ronaldo rushing towards him with the ball, forcing him to retreat. Especially when he saw Cristiano Ronaldo's dazzling footwork, he could not judge his real intention.
In a hurry, Andrade didn't have time to think about it. He made a foul and pulled Cristiano Ronaldo to the ground. The referee's whistle rang immediately.
With Terry behind him, van der Waals showed a yellow card to Andrade and gave inter a set kick to the left of the front court.
This position is not ideal, the angle is a little bit off, the angle of direct play is too small, it's not easy to play.
More importantly, Inter's right foot free kick experts Veron and FIGO are not on the field, and this position with the left foot to play, it is difficult to play a threat.
That's what Andrade is smart about.
