The duration of halftime went by torturously slow for Inter Milan's players; for them, it was a period of having to withstand the manager's rebukes and the enormous pressure brought about by their fans' expectations. But who had asked for them to be a powerhouse? In contrast, Nottingham Forest's players felt the time pass quickly. With traces of relaxed and joyful smiles yet to fade from their face, the second half had already started.
Tang En leaned back on his seat and crossed his legs. So long as his team continued defending like this, Inter Milan would certainly press forward heavily in an attempt to equalize the score as soon as possible. Only in that way would they have enough time left to try to overturn the scores. When that happened, numerous gaps would appear in Inter Milan's backfield. Then, Albertini could make another long pass and Anelka would get another flash of inspiration, ending the match!
