Inter Milan lineup: goalkeeper Buffon; defender Zanetti, Stam, Matrazi, Grosso; midfielder Zheng Zhi, Cambiaso, Dalma; forward Ronaldo, Adriano, Robben

Ajax; Stekrenbur, Trabelsi, Galasco, Zivo, Van der Mede, Maxville, Passaren, Litmanin, Van Dame, Scola, Ibrahimovic. Many players Zheng Zhi look familiar, such as bullying me, Van der Mede, Maxville, Litmanin, Ibrahimovic...

The two teams only met once in European competitions. In the 1972 final, Cruyff's two goals helped Ajax defend his title successfully. In the domestic league, both teams maintained a complete victory, but Ajax's form seemed to be even more awesome. Although Inter Milan also won all the victory, they scored few goals.

After the game started, the pace on the court was very fast, and the defense of both sides was very tight. Ajax seemed to be in better shape, smoother in cooperation, and his tactics were more purposeful than Inter Milan. The speed of counterattack made them unable to defend.

Ajax's top threat actor Ibrahimovic came up and was immediately defended by Zheng Zhizai in front of him.

In the first 10 minutes, Ajax basically turned away and suppressed Inter Milan. However, Inter Milan's backcourt defense was very tightly organized, and Ajax failed to get any decent chances. However, Ronaldo and Robben's performance was not ideal, but Ajax's two wingers performed better.

"Arge, Cristiano,"

"Don't be compared by them!"

Zheng Zhi could only continue to motivate Robben and Robben.

"run!"

“We need more running!”

"You must firmly insert it when attacking!"

Relatively speaking, Inter Milan's midfield and frontcourt cooperation is not tacit enough, and can only be compensated by more running.

In the 16th minute, Ajax got his first scoring chance. Winter Scola headed the ball before Grosso at the front post, and Buffon easily got the ball. Inter Milan immediately made a quick counterattack, but Ronaldo failed to break through on the right. The ball was cut off by the opponent's left back. Instead, Litmanin instigated a counterattack. The ball was handed over to the feet of Swedish shooter Ibrahimovic who was pulling the edge. The latter strode through the shooting star from the left rib and then immediately shot!

The shot was too sudden. Matrazi in the middle couldn't even come up to stop him. Fortunately, Buffon was focused enough and blocked the ball from the bottom line.

The corner kick was taken, and Matrazi and Stam tightly clamped Ibrahimovic, leaving the Swede unable to move. The ball was pushed out by Zheng Zhi in the penalty area. Robben quickly rushed to the middle to get the ball, and then made a quick counterattack with Ronaldo. The two people collided continuously to cooperate and advanced to Ajax's penalty area with a devastating momentum. Finally, Ronaldo gave the ball to Adriano. Adriano shot with his left foot in the corner, but unfortunately the ball was slightly off the post.

Zheng Zhi went to connect with the team through more running activities and gradually stabilized the situation.

Five minutes later, Stekrenberg was thrown away by Zheng Zhi's oxtail ball because of running with Zheng Zhi, but his left thigh was wounded and replaced by Timmer. At the same time, Van der Mead also pulled Zheng Zhi down and gave Inter Milan a chance to set the ball in the frontcourt, but Zheng Zhi's free kick hit the wall and flew out of the baseline.

Zheng Zhi continued to take the corner kick, but the ball was actually pushed out by Ibrahimovic who was returning to defense. It seems that Inter Milan will not have an air advantage.

At the beginning of the 25th minute, Inter Milan began to control the situation, but there were many mistakes in the frontcourt. Ronaldo and Robben often fought individually and were difficult to break through Ajax's defense. Ajax's midfield seemed more flexible and often played tacit cooperation.

But both sides did a great job of defense and the game was in a state of anxiety.

Until the 36th minute, Ibrahimovic leaned against Matrazi and Stam alone at the top of Inter Milan's penalty area, then pulled his heels and even double-teamed the two people. Then he turned around and shot with his left foot. However, Buffon's performance was still as stable as a dog, holding the ball in his arms steadily.

Inter Milan then made a quick counterattack, Zheng Zhi crossed the left side, Robben broke through quickly on the left and was knocked down by defender Trabelsey. Inter Milan once again got a chance to set the ball in the frontcourt. Zheng Zhi picked up a free kick into the penalty area, Adriano fell under the defense of his compatriot Maxville, but the referee signaled the game to continue.

In slow motion, Maxville seemed to be suspected of a foul.

When Inter Milan players were still trying to get a penalty, it was Ajax's turn to strike a quick counterattack. Litmanin launched a long pass, Ibrahimovic headed the ball from the front, and the ball fell to the back point, and Maxwell volleyed 16 meters away and missed.

Two minutes later, Inter Milan returned to the top, Zheng Zhi sent the overhead ball from the middle, and Adriano actually headed the ball directly in front of Ajax's penalty area, but unfortunately he was off-limited.

Then Ronaldo also had a chance. Zheng Zhi's straight pass was handed to his feet. He wanted to eat his opponent raw, but the ball became bigger and he went straight out of the bottom line...

In the end, after the first half, the game between the two sides reached 0:0, and neither of them was able to score.

Wow,

Wow,

Wait.

There was booing at the Meacha Stadium?! It was very harsh anyway.

"Did I hear it wrong?"

Zheng Zhi frowned when he left the scene, raised his ears, and asked Dalma beside him.

“Yes,”

"It's a boo,"

"The fans are booing us, they are definitely booing us."

Dalma nodded.

“It’s too much.”

"We played well, but there is no need to boo us, right?"

Dalma is in a mood.

Zheng Zhi also had it. He licked his lips and said nothing. He lowered his head and walked into the locker room. He had heard the boo for the first time in more than two years of joining Inter Milan.

Perhaps, fans have become accustomed to the glorious Inter Milan. At this time, they were basically leading by one or two goals, but now it is 0:0.

But it doesn't mean you can boo us, right?

Haven't we tried our best?

Didn’t Ronaldo and Robben fight all their strength? They both fought.

In the locker room, Mourinho's face was not good-looking. The tactics have been arranged. What can I do if I fail to score a goal?

"At least our defense is excellent, we didn't let the opponent score, and we didn't give any chance."

"What we need to do now is to calmly seek opportunities to score goals."

He still focuses on encouragement.
