Sports Weekly All Media Report

Inter Milan laughed to the end in a goal battle, and eliminated Barcelona 7-6 in two rounds to advance to the Champions League final. Simeone Inzaghi coaches Inter Milan for the fourth season and leads the team to the Champions League final for the second time. Considering that Inter Milan's budget is the lowest among the top 8 teams this season, this achievement is even more valuable. In an interview with Sky Sports in Italy after the game, Inzagi Jr. said: "We must also congratulate Barcelona, ​​they are indeed a very strong opponent. We need an Inter Milan in super state to win this round of knockout round. I am proud of my players, who have performed extraordinary performance in both rounds. This is the only way to the final. The players who came on the bench also showed the right attitude, and they all went all out.

"The players should enjoy this moment, and their performance is exemplary. I told them to believe that we can limit Barcelona, ​​although it is very difficult. Lautaro, Dumfries and Vratesey were not in their best physical condition, but everyone relied on their willpower to overcome all obstacles. We insist on playing our own style, not being arrogant or underestimated by any opponent, and doing our best to win the game. I think we deserve to be in the finals. ”

Inzaji revealed that although Yamal has made his team suffer, there is someone else who appreciates the most. "Everyone is talking about Yamal, but what I see is another player who performed well in these two games. He was absent from the last time we played against each other due to injury. Frenki de Jong impressed me just like Yamal. He has excellent ball control and pass timing, and he is an amazing player. Although I won't use anyone to exchange for my players, I think De Jong is really outstanding in these two rounds. ”

Before the game, Inter Milan released a "smoke bomb", and the whole world reported that Lautaro might miss the game due to injury. As a result, the Argentinian not only scored a goal, but also created a penalty kick opportunity. Inter Milan captain explained after the game: "I felt a little stretched in my leg, and I just cried at home for those two days. But we did a lot of recovery work with the medical team to allow me to catch up with the competition, even though I was not 100%. ”

Speaking of the emotional part, Lautaro almost choked and cried, “That’s how I love football. In this kind of game you have to give your all. I promised that my family would definitely be on the stage today. I have too many thoughts in my mind. We are facing a very strong team, but Inter Milan has been improving itself for the past four or five years and has improved every year, and we are proud. This team never gives up, the fans are amazing, the stadium is so shocking. ”The one who was more excited than Lautaro might be Flathi who scored the winning goal in overtime on the bench. After scoring the goal, Flathi climbed onto the guardrail of the stands to celebrate with the fans, and almost fainted. He was still not fully settled in the interview after the game, "I was so excited, dizzy, and almost fainted! We have been thinking about this goal since we lost the last final. Now we have to recover our energy, complete the season well, and then seize the opportunity to write history. ”In the first round of the quarter-finals against Bayern, he scored a winning goal, which was a winning goal. “It’s incredible, I don’t know what to say. I thought that the game against Bayern was the pinnacle of my football career, but tonight was better. This is the charm of football. This is my career. I am not a talented player, but I am the last person to give up and the first person to believe. This is a reward for persistence and hard work. ”

Flatesi also said half-jokingly that not only did he almost faint from the goal celebration, but he was "exhausted" before he came on the court, "I can't believe it, but when the score became 3-3, I said to Marcus (Turam): 'Don't worry, we will definitely advance! ’I was exhausted when I wasn’t on the bench. We stood there, shouting for every move on the field, grabbing our hair with our hands, as if we were playing with them! ”
