CL Semi Final: Inter - Barca 4-3

[El Ilusionista]

It wasn't absence of Balde that cost us any of 3 goals

If they work on set pieces and do their best to hide inner bozoism such as slipping when marking Thuram there shall be no problems

With Lamin our attack will always feast

Two fluke corners and the first goal Inigo slipping pure luck. If we defend corners properly our attack will do the job.

I know I'd said I dont mind losing to Inter over Arsenal/PSG. But a quick read of ForzaInterforum and some post-match videos have changed my mind. Some of the stuff they write and say about Barca is vile and nasty. But knowing that both our starting fbs will be missing is demoralizing. Besides they also got to rest all their important players.

Calma calma

Would start Eric at RB and either Araujo or Iñigo at LB.

They get a lot of clicks with their made up news so that is good

Win or fucking lose I want our team going full guns blazing and no lazy starts or stupid errors. If we go out to a better team so be it. I just don't want to exit because of brain farts or lack of balls.

This game will be decided by pure will, not the one who plays better football. The one who will be prepared to eat the grass will go through. Expect an emotional shitshow. Inter will fight with everything they've got before their own fans. We need to hold against that.

I think so too. There's a chance we play some high class football, but it's slim. We will make errors, Inter will make errors, who wants it more will get it I think.

If likes of Yamal or Raphinha come up with 2 golazos again... it will help our cause big time.

 

[Andresito]

Iñigo, Christensen, Cubarsi, Eric

I believe that's the best possible back 4 we can go with. It puts all the offensive responsibility on attackers so they will have to be sharp with their creativity.

I pray Raphinha will find his efficiency in attack and score the few half chances he will get. Same goes for Olmo. Don't think we will create a bunch of clear chances.

"Who wants it more" is one of the most stupid terms in sports.

In this level, in CL semifinals, every player will die to win it, those are competitors ffs.

People just created that terms as it is easier than talking about fine details that decide such games.

Think motivation plays a big part. Particularly where there isn't a big difference in quality.

Not at this level unless it is very extreme cases. Like a team who won everyone several times and starting to get complacent.

Like seriously, which football player won't be motivated to win CL? Come on now

 

[Andresito]

Calmness and patience also important. Not to get stressed by the whole situation. Now Inter team is mostly old farts but there could also be nervousness kicking in playing at home in front of bunch of fans expecting them to go through.

Let's not forget they also need to win, no away goals to rely on.

Question is when they start pushing for it. They can play both counter attacking football and keep the ball.

Motivation and preparation play a big part but the small details matter too. In these high pressure matches the team that doesn't make or minimises mistakes usually goes through.
