After the substitution, Inter Milan resumed play from their own half.
Dacourt conveyed Mancini’s intentions up the field.
The Inter Milan players defended with even more resolve than before.
Although they had the ball, the Inter players showed no intention of attacking forward. They passed the ball around in their own half, only moving forward after Huang Kaiwen and Raul pressed them.
Cambiasso passed to Sannetti, who quickly moved the ball to Grosso and then immediately marked Huang Kaiwen closely.
Even when they had possession, there was not a moment of relaxation.
As soon as Gross crossed the halfway line, he swung his left arm and shifted the ball towards the right flank.
De Jong charged forward, leaped sideways to contest the header, and knocked Maicon out of bounds.
Yellow card!
Dacourt took a free-kick from before the center line to Maicon, who quickly drove the ball towards the middle.
De Jong’s sliding tackle missed as Maicon dodged with a deft touch, and the following Guti poked the ball away from under Maicon’s feet.
