Super Marshal

"This is a perfect victory!"

Gao Han's words at the post-match press conference made headlines in major media and newspapers around the world.

3-0, Inter Milan defeated Manchester United in this game. Whether it is from the score or the game process, it can be said to be impeccable. It was under Inter Milan's control from beginning to end.

"After the game, Sir Alex Ferguson graciously congratulated Gao Han and his Inter Milan. He also said that the harsh rainy weather made Manchester United very uncomfortable and the game became more difficult, especially against Inter Milan, who had excellent passing control."

Greenwald, a well-known reporter from the British Guardian, commented in his column.

"But if we dig deeper, there are a lot of very interesting details lurking in the game."

“According to the data we obtained after the game, Inter Milan’s ball possession rate in this game was not high, only 52.3%. In other words, Manchester United had 47.7%. The pass success rate of Inter Milan is 82.8%, while Manchester United’s pass success rate is only 77.3%.”

"In terms of offense, both Inter Milan and Manchester United had thirteen shots. However, Inter Milan had eight shots on target, while Manchester United had only one. And the data from our post-match statistics show that most of Manchester United's shots were outside the penalty area. Long-range shots, this is the reason for the inefficiency of the Red Devils' shooting, and it can also reflect the anxiety of Manchester United players."

"In terms of interceptions, Inter Milan's steal data is astonishing, reaching 23 times, while Manchester United only has 12 times. The two teams are very different, which can also reflect some of the situations in the game."

Greenwald wrote at the end of the column: "If we analyze purely from the game data, it is not difficult to see that Inter Milan does not have the overwhelming advantage as shown by the game process and the score. However, I believe that all Anyone who has watched the game with his own eyes will doubt the authenticity of the data."

"But I want to say that OPTA's data is true, and what we saw with our own eyes during the game is true. The problem lies in Inter Milan's handling of various details. It is also the time of possession. Manchester United can only be forced to play in the midfield. It was a reverse kick, but Inter Milan was able to use passing control to tear apart the defense. Obviously, the latter reaction is more entertaining on the court and easier to impress us."

“In this strong dialogue, Inter Milan showed a very comprehensive and rich offensive and defensive routine, especially the two goals in the first thirty minutes of the first half, which were crucial and established the victory of the game in one fell swoop. "

While Greenwald highly praised Inter Milan's performance, other newspapers such as The Sun blamed Manchester United's defeat on the poor performance of the players, especially Heinze and Wes Brown.

Daily Mail columnist Martin Samuel even criticized the performance of these two players.

"Heinze and Wes Brown were disastrous and it was a tragedy for them."

Martin Samuel took direct aim at Manchester United's backline, believing that Ferguson had high hopes for these two players, but their performances failed to convince, especially Wes Brown.

"He lived in the shadow of Ibrahimovic throughout the game. The Swedish center firmly dominated Manchester United's penalty area, especially the third goal, which completely showed his fatal weakness as a central defender. He It actually gave Ibrahimovic the opportunity to calmly stop the ball in the penalty area and then take a shot."

Many British media also criticized Heinze, believing that Ferguson's reuse of the Argentine left-back was a huge mistake.

"Ferguson dared to bet, but he made the wrong bet on this game."

"Returning to the familiar left-back, Heinze proved with his disastrous performance that he is still the most uneasy part."

"It is hard for us to believe that in a high-level competition like the Champions League quarter-finals, he would make such an unforgivable mistake. It was he who suddenly passed the ball across the penalty area and almost caused Ibrahimovic's mistake. A strange steal forced Ferdinand to make a big save and even slipped to the ground in a hurry, thus kicking off the second goal conceded."

However, the British media also said that the score of 0-3 was not a reflection of the true strength of both sides.

"This is a game that was decided in the first half hour."

But the Italian media obviously don't see it that way. They believe that if Inter Milan hadn't slowed down their offensive after establishing the victory, and if it hadn't been for the heavy rain last night, Manchester United would probably have suffered a humiliating score at San Siro. .

"We can see that from the beginning of the game, Manchester United was completely suppressed, and Inter Milan frequently got excellent opportunities. If it had not been affected by the heavy rain, I am afraid that in the first half hour, the score would not have been 2-0, but at least 4-0. Above zero.”

"There is indeed a problem with the condition of Manchester United's players, but Inter Milan's overall strength is indeed better than Manchester United."

Gazzetta dello Sport believes that Manchester United's mediocrity just reflects the strength of Inter Milan.

"Looking at this season's Champions League journey, Manchester United's performance is not satisfactory. The defense is full of loopholes and the offense is lackluster. Even the on-the-spot command that Ferguson was most proud of in the past was completely lost in this game. .”

"Yes, Sir Alex Ferguson is limited by the team's lineup and does not have many cards in his hand that can be replaced, but under the strong pressure of Inter Milan in the away game, he ignored the problem of his team's defensive instability and was completely seeking his own death. .”

"On the defensive end, after Ferdinand returned from injury, his condition was not stable, but he took the lead in this game and his performance was indeed eye-catching. However, Wes Brown's poor performance greatly reduced Ferdinand's performance."

"Of course, the heavy rain caused the field to be slippery, which is indeed not conducive to defense, but Manchester United's overall poor defense is not only highlighted in this game."

"Looking at Inter Milan, they still use the usual four-three-three tactics. Gao Han even made it easy for everyone to guess his starting lineup, but Yaya Toure and Cristiano Ronaldo's outstanding performance, the players' performance in the game Calmness and relaxation show how powerful Inter Milan is."

"Manchester United seemed to be struggling throughout the game, but Inter Milan played very flexibly. They did not directly confront their opponents. There was no fast and fierce collision like lightning. It was more about skillful and smooth passing and receiving cooperation."

"It can be said that the cold Inter Milan used this game to explain to all of us the true meaning of overall football and passing and controlling football. Manchester United was like a blind bull in front of them."

Gazzetta dello Sport also highlighted one player, Veron.

"After the White Wizard left Manchester United, he fell into trouble several times, but under Gao Han's command, both Chelsea and Inter Milan showed a very high level. In this game against his old club Manchester United, Veron perfectly interpreted himself His abilities and characteristics allowed Ferguson to clearly see his strength."

"This season, the fans at the Meazza Stadium stood up collectively after the game many times to applaud Veron. He is the core of Inter Milan's midfield and one of the best players this season."

"Although, he didn't score."

When the media praised Inter Milan's 3-0 victory over Manchester United and overwhelmingly praised it, the Inter Milan management also praised Gao Han's coaching ability and the performance of the players.

Club President Facchetti was interviewed by the media after the game. He said: "This is a wonderful victory. We were pleasantly surprised to see the great changes in the team. Gao Han has brought us an incredible gift. I sincerely I hope he can coach at Inter Milan forever."

But for the team to advance to the semi-finals in advance and even have a chance to enter the final, Facchetti showed a mature and prudent side.

"It's too early for us to talk about promotion now, because we all know that a score of three to zero can only give us a certain advantage, but if we want to enter the semifinals or even the final, we need to do more."

"But I believe that as long as the players can maintain their excellent performance in this game, then we are fully capable of winning the Champions League and we will have a bright future."
