Chinese champion

Chapter 318 The Blue-Black Empire's Unbalanced Milan Derby

With a total score of 4:2, Inter Milan eliminated the Red Devils Manchester United without any risk, and successfully advanced to the quarterfinals of the Champions League. However, it also paid a heavy price. Both Cordoba and Maicon were injured in the rescue at the last moment of the game , destined to miss the weekend league.

And Inter Milan's league opponent at the weekend is the same city rival AC Milan.

Although AC Milan was already behind Inter Milan by as much as [-] points before this game, although AC Milan lost a heavyweight player on each of the three lines, it was already weaker than Inter Milan (the defender left Stam, The midfielder retired Rui Costa, and the striker left Shevchenko), although AC Milan has already announced that it will give up the domestic league and strive to win in the Champions League, but in any case, the Milan Derby is still the Milan Derby, forever It is the hottest and most exciting battle in the same city in the world.

What is even more worth noting is that Inter Milan has only lost one game in the league since the beginning of this season, that is, the ninth round "away game" loss to AC Milan last year. If they are unbeaten in the first round of the league, if they can pass the level of Milan, then they are very likely to continue their unbeaten record in the rest of the season, and pose a threat to AC Milan's unbeaten 58 league games. , This consequence is obviously not what AC Milan wants to see.

The second Milan Derby of this season, the 266th Milan Derby in history, this time AC Milan is obviously in a rather embarrassing position. The points they have obtained now are obviously not enough for them to cause a greater impact on Inter Milan's top position threaten.

An unbalanced Milan derby, but no matter which side it is, it is impossible to give up lightly.

**************************************
"We must continue to suppress AC Milan! We must completely trample them under our feet! Winning the league championship this season is only one of our goals, and our other goal is to win the championship with an advantage of more than eight points ahead of them. Shut those guys' mouths!"

Mancini waved his fists and roared in the locker room, and the players were also howling with enthusiasm. There is no need for the coaches to use more words to motivate the players, just the four words "Milan Derby" It is enough to inspire the most bloody things deep in the players' hearts.

"We have no way out! Even if we have no hope for the league championship, we will even end the season with an eight-point lead by Inter Milan! But we still want to win! At least in this way we can still have our own pride, that is, the league The champion lost to us twice! Do you understand?"

Ancelotti also shouted hoarsely in the locker room. The coach who has coached AC Milan for five years has led the team this season is the worst in history. He also knows that his position in this position I'm afraid time is running out!

As he said, no matter what, this game is his last straw and the last fig leaf for AC Milan!

One side wants to completely suppress the opponent, and the other side wants to maintain its superiority over the opponent's record in recent years. Although this Milan Derby is out of balance, it will definitely not lose its color.

In the Champions League on Wednesday, AC Milan was very lucky to draw a good lottery. They met the weakest team among the eight No.2 teams, the Celtics of Scotland, at home in the first leg. In the game, they relied on Kaka's excellent performance to win the opponent 3:0, and they also dispatched some substitutes with ease in the away game, so in this Milan derby, they did not have any loss in personnel.

Although they just came back from Scotland, AC Milan seems to have the upper hand in terms of physical strength and personnel.

**************************************
"Three midfielders vs. three midfielders!"

This season's Milan duo, the three midfielders have almost become a popular trend!

Inter Milan's lineup: goalkeeper Cesar, defender Due to the absence of Maicon, the teenager Andreoli appeared in the main lineup, and his position is right back!In terms of central defenders, in the absence of Cordoba, Materac and Samuel will undoubtedly be the main force, the left back is still Grosso, the midfielder, and the three midfielders Captain Zanetti , Vieira and Cambiasso!The midfielder Pei Wei and the forwards are Ibrahimovic and Crespo.

AC Milan lineup: goalkeeper Dida, four defenders Cafu, Karazze, Nesta, Maldini, three midfielders Pirlo, Gattuso and Hu Yong, midfielder Kaka, two forwards Inzaghi and Gilardino.

Although unbalanced, there are still too many things to watch in this game.

The battle between Maldini and Grosso, the two great Italian left-backs of two generations, the midfield battle between Pei Wei, Vieira, Kaka, and Hu Yong, the Brazil national gate battle between Cesar and Dida...

Inter Milan wants to win this game and consolidate their first position in the standings. AC Milan also wants to win this game and consolidate their No.4 position in order to obtain a Champions League seat next season.

AC Milan's tactics were the same as when the two teams met for the first time this season. Hu Yong was all-out to mark Pei Wei, and Gattuso was on the side to assist him. In the first match, this tactic played a very important role. It was Pei Wei's flameout that made Inter Milan finally lose that game.

Inter Milan made a targeted arrangement for this tactic. Although Pei Wei is still the core of the attack, he now has the strong support of three midfielders behind him. Kaka is marked by Cambiasso, and Vieira uses Attacking to suppress Pirlo, Zanetti is responsible for filling the position, which is why Mancini did not use Dacourt. Whether it is offense or defense, the Frenchman is obviously not comparable to the captain.

The first to break the deadlock is Inter Milan!

Soon after the start of the game, Pei Wei went straight to the hinterland of AC Milan after two consecutive one-two cooperation with Cambiasso and Vieira. Hu Yong and Gattuso immediately pinched over. Pei Wei left foot With a flick, the ball unexpectedly flew to the left. Grosso swayed away from Cafu after receiving the ball, and then passed a precise arc ball with his left foot.
The ball flew straight to the dead corner of the goal, Dida couldn't make a save, 1:0!The north stand immediately boiled up!
It was the Argentine striker's second goal in three days, showing good form!
Before the start of the season, AC Milan had the opportunity to sign this high-volume striker for free, but their indecision made Inter Milan take the lead. This striker who was originally thought to be signed by Moratti to suppress AC Milan is now Has become Inter Milan's first striker, the cheapest introduction, the most value-for-money performance!

Inter Milan's blitz has succeeded again. Since the beginning of this season, they have often been able to score goals in the first 15 minutes of the game. Although there are three defensive midfielders in the midfield, they are actually not weak on offense at all!

The AC Milan players were a little surprised to concede the ball so early after the opening, but this is not surprising. The once best defense in Europe is now only an empty shelf, and Maldini and Cafu are inevitable. Go, although Nesta is 29 years old, the golden age of a central defender, but injuries have become his biggest enemy, and he has not been able to get back to his best state. Although Karazze is still brave, it is a pity that he is not strong It's not super first-class. They conceded more goals this season than Inter Milan, which plays offensive football. It's not difficult to explain why they are now 16 points behind Inter Milan.

While the fans of AC Milan were still worried about the first goal, the second blow came one after another.

After 10 minutes of entanglement in the midfield, Inter Milan expanded the score with a quick counterattack!

Zanetti and Cambiasso teamed up to intercept Kaka's ball. Pei Wei seemed to be prepared for this counterattack. He started at high speed the moment he intercepted the ball and got rid of Hu Yong who was a little distracted. At this time, Kaka Biasuo's long pass just landed in front of him, Hu Yong turned around and prepared to chase, but there was a gap between his speed and Pei Wei's. When the distance was relatively close, he could still use defensive actions to make Pei Wei unable to catch up. It started, but there was nothing he could do when Pei Wei had already thrown him a few positions away.

Gattuso rushed up fiercely, Pei Wei stomped and pulled the ball back, knocked the ball to his side like a juggler, the ball rolled to Vieira's feet, and then he bypassed Gattuso and moved forward Run, Vieira sent the ball forward in time, Pei Wei received the ball again!

"Stop him!" Nesta immediately moved to the middle to prevent Pei Wei from continuing to advance, but his forward charge caused a small hole in AC Milan's defense line. Pei Wei nudged his foot and the ball rolled At the feet of the unguarded Ibrahimovic!

Ibrahimovic dribbled the ball into the penalty area and volleyed vigorously against Dida who was attacking!

Although Dida's hand touched the ball for a while, due to the power contained in the ball, it bounced on the ground and still firmly rolled into the goal!

2: 0!

Galliani in the VIP box clenched his lips and looked at the cheering Ibrahimovic on the field, speechless for a long time.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Crespo... These are the forwards that AC Milan is very promising to win in the transfer market before the start of this season. Unfortunately, hesitation and attempts to lower the price made Inter Milan buy these two forwards. And it was these two strikers who left AC Milan behind by two goals at the beginning of the game!

After the celebration, Pei Wei turned around and ran back to the team's half. In the middle, he happened to see Hu Yong with his hands on his waist, staring at him.

Pei Wei smiled, and secretly winked at Hu Yong while the referee was not paying attention.

I'm sorry, old friend, it seems that this season's confrontation is another unfair confrontation.

The strength of AC Milan has weakened a lot, while the strength of Inter Milan has increased a lot. Under the balance of each other, Hu Yong, let our duel be postponed until next year.

********************************
With a two-goal advantage, Inter Milan entered the lounge.

"Everyone played very well in the first half! But we can't take it lightly! You know, our opponent is AC Milan. As long as you don't pay attention, they may bring the score back!"

"We continued to play like this in the second half, putting pressure on them from the midfield! Now AC Milan's strongest line is their midfield, Pei, in the second half you have to use offense to suppress Hu Yong and Pirlo, the strength of the two of them Long passes and organization are a sharp weapon for AC Milan's offense! At the same time, everyone should pay attention to Kaka's marking, he is the top scorer of AC Milan this season."

"Then, I would also like to praise our little Mareca, who performed very well today!" Mancini said with a smile.

Everyone's eyes fell on the 20-year-old Andreoli. This handsome boy with a height of 1.8 meters [-] did show a very high level of competition in this game, and even assisted the opponent's old captain Paolo Maldini. They all defended one by one, and it seemed that the injured Maicon was about to feel threatened.

Andreoli smiled embarrassedly. This Italian young man who has played several times this season has been regarded by the club as the best right back candidate after captain Zanetti retires. In fact, he also has such a Strength.

"Let's go! Let's win this game!" Seeing that the time for the intermission had come, Mancini shouted loudly.

**********************************************
Although in the second half of the game AC Milan showed a strong offensive power for dignity, and although Hu Yong firmly marked Pei Wei in the second half of the game, they still paid the price for the two conceded goals in the first half. After Gilardino recovered a goal for AC Milan, Figo, who came off the bench, helped Materac to another goal with a precise free kick. Before the end of the game, Kaka scored another point with a long shot. Unfortunately, it was too late In the evening, 3:2, Inter Milan won the game, continued the unbeaten record of 15 games, and made great strides towards the No.[-] league championship in their history.

"Let us come again next year." Pei Wei said with a smile when exchanging jerseys with Hu Yong after the game.

Hu Yong didn't laugh, although he also performed very well in this game. In the second half, it was his pass that helped Kaka score a goal from a long distance, and at the same time made Pei Wei useless, but Pei Wei restrained him by himself. With Pirlo, this made Hu Yong feel like a failure.

"Next season...it won't be that simple."

"No problem, I hope we can compete at the same starting point next season, it will be interesting!"
