Chapter 229 Shining Europe
  Before the game started, Leo expressed concerns about the team's optimism.

"Tottenham have several players who are very good, especially Bale's speed. You must pay attention to marking."

Maicon, who was playing against Bell, felt that Leo was distrustful of him, so he was a little unhappy.

"He's just a young man in his early twenties. What's the big deal? Just look at me and show him off today!"

"That's right, no matter how fast he is, can he still be Maicon's opponent?"

After winning the Triple Crown with Inter Milan, Maicon is considered by more and more people to be the best right back in the world.

There are so many people touting it, and the Brazilians themselves are a little carried away and forget about it.

Of course, Maicon's current strength is still online, but if he can easily deal with Bell, Leo will never believe it.

After this successful single defense, Maicon not only glanced contemptuously at Gareth Bale who fell to the ground, but also winked proudly in Leo's direction.

I mean, did you see it? Your worries are completely unfounded.

Inter Milan is now leading by a big score, and the opponent still has one less player to play, which is a huge advantage no matter how you look at it.

Alas, but Leo still felt unspeakably uneasy and didn't know what was going on.

I hope I'm overthinking it, and Leo calms down and gets back into the game.

Leo passed the ball directly to the left side of the penalty area, and Eto'o's curve ball from a small angle missed the goal.

Perhaps because of the lead, Eto'o's shot seemed a bit random, but Leo couldn't say much.

After all, in the eyes of all the Inter Milan players, this game has been won firmly.

Where is the suspense?
  Inter Milan continued to put pressure on Tottenham's goal, and it was not until the 30th minute that the visiting team hit the target for the first time in the game.

Lennon broke through from the right and passed the ball. Crouch took advantage of his height advantage to head the ball in the middle of the penalty area!

However, as we all know, although Crouch is over two meters tall, his header is not particularly outstanding, but his foot skills are good.

Therefore, Crouch's header did not pose much threat to the home team, and Cesar easily picked off the ball.

Maicon's cross from the right to the bottom line was passed by Coutinho to Eto'o. Eto'o's left-footed volley from the penalty area was blocked by the Tottenham defender.

In the 35th minute, Leo passed the ball directly behind Gallas. Eto'o broke into the left side of the penalty area and ejected from the outside of the instep of his right foot!

Although Tottenham goalkeeper Cudicini blocked the ball with his leg, he was still unable to prevent the ball from entering the net!

Four to zero!
  The entire Meazza crowd was in a state of excitement!

Tottenham were beaten by Inter Milan and were unable to fight back!
  The half is not over yet, and the Nerazzurri already lead by four goals!
  After a one-two with Eto'o, Coutinho fired a low shot with his right foot, and Cudicini got the ball.

In the 43rd minute, Kolarov made a pass from the left, and Maicon fired an angry shot from behind!

Cudicini threw the ball away, and Maicon shot again but was saved by Gallas.

In the final stage of the first half, Inter Milan did not stop and continued to attack.

Coutinho made a sharp turn on the left side of the penalty area and dunked past Hutton, and his shot from a small angle near the baseline hit the side net!
  At the end of the half, Inter Milan temporarily led 4-0 at home!
  "Hahaha, I said Tottenham had no chance at all."

"Yeah, he's no match for us at all!"

Back in the home team's locker room, Leo listened to the comments of his teammates and shook his head secretly.

There will be a price to pay for underestimating the enemy. When he walked into the tunnel at halftime, he noticed Bell's angry expression.

At the beginning of the second half, Tottenham counterattacked!

Gareth Bale received a pass from Crouch and accelerated the ball from the left side of the backcourt to break through!
  After getting rid of Maicon and Zanetti, before Lucio made a tackle to intercept, Bell shot a low shot with his left foot from the left side of the penalty area into the far corner of the goal!

Four to one!

Tottenham Hotspur pulled away from home!
  After Bale scored, he was so excited that he ran all the way and knelt down to celebrate!
  Ignoring his teammates who came to celebrate with him, Bell celebrated with his signature golf swing at San Siro.

The few Tottenham fans who traveled with the team cheered and shouted at Bale excitedly!

Maicon, who had been beaten by Bell just now, still didn't realize the crisis. He just thought that this kid was really lucky.

"He stole a goal, but it doesn't matter, we are still three goals ahead!"

Most others thought the same way, feeling that it was only because everyone was not focused enough at the beginning of the second half that Spurs caught such an opportunity.

But it’s not a big problem. There’s no way the visiting team can continue to score goals, right?
  Soon, Inter Milan's players put the conceded ball behind them and continued their offensive attack in the first half.

Maicon broke through to the penalty area from the right. Bell's breakthrough after stealing the ball was blocked by Bonucci, but Janas stabbed Bell again.

Bell started again, and the Welsh flying wing accelerated and made a strong breakthrough!
  Facing Zanetti's personal interference on the left side of the penalty area, Bell decisively volleyed with his left foot, and the ball roared into the lower right corner of the goal!

It was almost the same position as his previous goal, almost the same angle, and he scored twice!

Zanetti stood there with his hands on his hips. Maicon's defensive position was out of position and he had to pay for it in the end.

Obviously Zanetti was covering up defense for his teammates, but it became the background for Bell to score again.

It is really difficult for Zanetti, who is 37 years old, to defend Bell alone.

Leo shrugged helplessly. He had warned him a long time ago, but unfortunately no one listened to him.

It just happened to teach those somewhat arrogant and complacent teammates a lesson.

what happened?
  Many of the audience at the scene were still a little confused.

Originally, their home team was leading 4-0, and their opponent's main goalkeeper was sent off.

Isn't this a sure win?

Why did something suddenly go wrong?

They focused their attention on the Tottenham youngster celebrating his goal on the sidelines.

"Gareth Bale?" Inter Milan fans and all spectators of this game have already deeply imprinted this name on their minds.

Leonardo couldn't sit still anymore. He stood up and came to the sidelines, shouting loudly asking the Inter Milan players to pay attention to defense.

After all, they were still leading their opponents 4 to 2, so Leonardo was not in a hurry to make substitutions and adjustments.

Bell's show isn't over yet!

In the 72nd minute, Lennon intercepted the ball from the right and inserted it diagonally to the top of the penalty area to dispose of the ball!
  It was Bell again who broke through to the left side of the penalty area and volleyed into the far corner from a small angle with his left foot!
  Inter Milan goalkeeper Cesar failed to save!
  The third time!

Bale scored a hat-trick! Basically the same three goals!

It’s okay to not be prepared for the first two goals. It’s really inappropriate that Cesar failed to save the third goal!

It can only be said that Inter Milan's defense still underestimates the enemy.

Not to mention Bell's breakthrough, his final kick was full of confidence and had an excellent angle.

Regardless of whether Tottenham can draw with Inter Milan in this game, Gareth Bale will become famous all over the world!

Bell has already become famous thanks to his outstanding performance in the Premier League.

But after all, that is still limited to the UK and Premier League fan groups.

Dapeng rises with the same wind in one day and soars up to miles!

Bale stepped on the five-time crown to shine in Europe today!

After today, it is impossible for any fan not to know Bell's name!

Not only his three goals, but also his unreasonable acceleration before scoring, eating Maicon and Zanetti alive.

These "famous scenes" will become interesting topics that fans talk about for many years to come.

Leo looked at Bell, who was smiling brightly, and shook his head with a wry smile.

Leonardo did not hesitate and replaced two people in a row.

David Thornton came on as a substitute to replace Maicon, who was frequently teased by Bell in the second half, while Zanetti was also exhausted and was replaced by Chivu.

Zanetti, who has always had excellent physical fitness, really tried his best today, but he really couldn't prevent it.

The captain's armband was tied back to Leo's arm.

To be honest, at halftime, who could have imagined that the second half would be like this?
  Everyone in the Nerazzurri in the stands couldn't help but think of the Champions League final a few years ago.

At that time, they were spectators and regarded AC Milan as a joke.

Although today is just a Champions League group match, they don't want to become a joke in the eyes of others!

Fortunately, Leo stood up at this time.

Although the Lily Legion counterattacked sharply in the second half, they were actually at a numerical disadvantage and the players' physical strength had reached its limit.

It's just that one string has been stretched there without any slack.

In the 81st minute, Thornton got the ball from Leo on the right and made a pass!
  Cudicini didn't have the confidence to get the ball, so he punched out with both fists just to be safe!
  Leo controlled two penalty kicks outside the penalty area.

At this time, Tottenham's penalty area is full of defensive players. It stands to reason that shooting directly from outside the penalty area is not a particularly suitable option.

But Leo shot him unreasonably!

I saw Inter Milan's No. 10 hit the goal with a heavy shot, perfectly avoiding all the defensive players who wanted to block it, and went straight into the upper right corner of the goal!

Five to three!
  Leo interrupted his opponent's counterattack and once again expanded his lead!
  The Inter Milan fans at the Meazza Stadium hurriedly gave Leo warm applause, fearing that the situation of the game would reverse again.

Fortunately, they didn't worry too much. After Leo scored, the string that the Tottenham players were holding was broken.

Although Lao Lei also made substitution adjustments one after another, with Robbie Keane and Palacios coming off the bench, it was still to no avail.

In the last ten minutes of the game, Tottenham failed to create any good scoring opportunities again.

Most of them could only stay in their own half, barely coping with Inter Milan's wave after wave of attacks.

At the end of the game, Inter Milan narrowly defeated visiting Tottenham Hotspur 5-3 at home.

And young player Bell, who single-handedly scored three goals for the visiting team in the second half, also became popular throughout Europe after the game!

On the contrary, Leo, who scored three goals and one assist, did not receive too much attention. His performance can only be regarded as "normal performance" in everyone's eyes.

After the game, Leo and Bell exchanged jerseys with a smile.

"Now you are going to become famous. You really stole the show today."

As he spoke, Leo took over Bell's jersey and joked:
  "I have to keep this jersey of yours. Someone might buy it at a high price in the future."

Bell was a little helpless to complain.

"Didn't you have one more assist than me today, and we still lost in the end? It's not as exaggerated as you said."

"Don't leave tonight, I'll treat you to dinner?"

Bell was a little moved, but after thinking about it he shook his head.

"Forget it, I'm not in the mood after losing the game. I'll entertain you next time I go to London.

Besides, there is a league game on the weekend, so it would be better for me to go back with the team. "

Leo felt a little regretful but didn't force himself to stay, he just sighed.

"I really miss being teammates with you."
