Zhang Lu said in one sentence that Inter Milan had the biggest problem at home, and it was difficult to attack or defend.

kicked 3-3 in the first round, but it was difficult to play when I returned to Meacha.

Many people think that home court is naturally an advantage, but in Champions League games, home court is sometimes a double-edged sword. Teacher Zhang Lu made it clear on the show: The biggest problem in this game is not who is in good condition, but how Inter Milan should play.

Should I continue to defend and counterattack, or take the initiative at home? It seems to be just a tactical choice, but what is involved is the team's rhythm control ability, on-the-spot response, and the coach's real judgment of the situation.

If you are a small team, you can understand that you are stable at home. But you are Inter Milan, a regular visitor to the Champions League, or a popular Serie A champion. When you return home, you will shrink and play. What do fans, media, and opponents think? The problem is that if you really want to fight, what Barcelona can do best this season is the speed of the wing in the counterattack.

Rafinia and Yamal are not the kind of fancy wingers, they are the types of people who can solve battles with real swords and guns. As long as Inter Milan pressed a little more, they caught the left side empty, and as soon as they got the speed, they could penetrate the center and backcourt directly.

The third goal lost in the first leg, wasn't Inter Milan just broken through? Once the rhythm is not controlled well, the away goal advantage will be gone, and that is really a playful game.

From a tactical perspective, Simeone Inzaghi's system is not complicated: the three-back system in the midfield cooperates with the two-wing defense, creates rhythm changes through midfield compression, and eats up the opponent's space by relying on personal ability and running in the frontcourt.

But the problem is that when facing teams like Barcelona that have strong ball control, fast counterattacks and extremely fast pace conversion, Inter Milan's rhythm is easily disrupted. Coupled with home pressure, players' psychological fluctuations will be greater than in the first round.

Many people may overlook a detail: the "advantage" of home court sometimes limits the coach's on-the-spot deployment. If you collect too deeply, the media will swear and the fans will swear; if you press too hard and get beaten back, you will say that you are not calm

, especially when you get back in the first round, the head coach will run many plans at the same time. What is the result? He has no idea of ​​playing, no rhythm, and is also panicked when he makes a substitution on the spot. Zhang Lu is right. If he has too many ideas, he will easily lose his position.

But this does not mean that Inter Milan has no choice. I think the most important thing in this game is actually not offense or defense, but who controls the rhythm first. If Inter Milan can stabilize the ball in the first twenty minutes of the first half and let Barcelona run instead of counterattack, then the initiative is in their hands.

You can not attack wildly, but you must "press and kick" out of your home court momentum. By disrupting the opponent's rhythm, you can bring the rhythm of the game into the familiar control area of ​​Inter Milan.

If Barcelona really snatched the start rhythm, then no matter how many tactical changes you have, it will be useless. The Champions League knockout stage is not about benches, but about control and mentality. At home, it’s not about who has a louder voice, but about who is calmer.

Back to the initial question: Should Inter Milan attack or defend? My opinion is that you cannot be conservative at home, but you must not attack randomly. What Inter Milan needs to do is not "choose one side", but to let Barcelona choose the wrong direction through rhythm control. It’s strategy, not emotion.
