Football irons are burning

Chapter 260 Expanding the Lead
Inter Milan still sent two strikers, Li Tie and Drogba partner striker, Di Canio, Maicon, Deisler, Pirlo, Di Biagio served as five midfielders, and three defenders Materazzi, Panucci, Zanetti.

In AC Milan, Shevchenko and Crespo partnered in the forward line, Ronaldinho's midfielder, Ambrosini and Gattuso's double midfielder, and on the defense, the veteran Costacurta still played. This veteran is also worthy of respect.

After the game started, Inter Milan quickly gained the upper hand.

Li Tie is still very active in the forward position, constantly using his flexible movement to threaten AC Milan's defense.

Now he is playing more and more relaxed, so that the AC Milan players dare not be careless. Gattuso is almost inseparable, following Li Tie's side.

However, Li Tie's high-position press in the frontcourt still made AC Milan's defense in a hurry.

In the 6th minute, Costacurta returned a pass to goalkeeper Abbiati, who was lacking in strength. Li Tie went forward and stabbed Abbiati before he could attack, but was thrown to the ground by Abbiati.

The referee Corina immediately awarded a penalty kick and gave Abbiati a yellow card!
Although the AC Milan players protested one after another, the protest was ineffective. Collina was in a very good position and could see clearly. After Li Tie stabbed, Abbiati just jumped on Li Tie's foot. It was not a penalty.

Gattuso, who protested fiercely, also received a yellow card. He looked at Li Tie with a bad look.

Li Tie put the ball on the penalty spot with his hands on his hips, waiting for a free throw.

As the AC Milan players calmed down, Corina blew the whistle, and Li Tie volleyed vigorously from the lower left corner. Although Abbiati was right, the speed of the ball was too fast and the angle was too tricky. He hit the post directly, 1:0!

This is also Li Tie's 15th goal of the season. According to this rhythm, Li Tie is going to score more than 50 goals.

The cheers of the fans broke out at the Meazza Stadium. In the past few seasons, their mood has always been in a state of joy. It's great to be Inter Milan fans.

The game continued, and after the re-kick-off, Ronaldinho quickly took the ball and singled out Pirlo.

Faced with Di Biagio's pincer attack, he chose to pass through.

Shevchenko made a smooth run again, and the ball reached Crespo's feet.

Crespo didn't turn around, but chose to knock on Ronaldinho.

Ronaldinho caught the ball with a bull's tail and passed Pirlo who was chasing back, followed by another overhead pass.

Shevchenko turned around and volleyed, and the ball was saved by Petr Cech to the bottom line.

In this process, Inter Milan's defense line is useless.

This also made Lippi dissatisfied and yelled on the sidelines. In fact, this is the difference between offense and defense. Facing the offense of excellent players, it is actually difficult for the defensive side to defend against the opponent, no matter how strong your defensive ability is.

Ronaldinho, Shevchenko, and Crespo are all top-notch players. Once their cooperation goes smoothly, it will be difficult for Inter Milan's defense to strangle them.

Fortunately, Cech is still stable, and now he and Buffon are known as one of the two best goalkeepers in the world.

Chelsea, who got Buffon, also maintained a complete victory in the Premier League this season and only conceded 11 goal in 1 league rounds, leaving the No.2 Arsenal by as much as 7 points.

It can be seen that an excellent goalkeeper can indeed top half of the team.

Ronaldinho then took a corner kick, Shevchenko nodded and kicked the ball, and then Crespo shot before Zanetti. Cech had no choice this time, the distance was too close, 1:1, AC Milan equalized the score!

Crespo excitedly rushed to the sidelines to celebrate his goal. Last year, he went to Chelsea for a season like falling into an ice cellar. After returning to Italy, he quickly regained his form and currently has 5 goals.

Now, it's the turn of the visiting team fans to cheer. They can equalize the score in the shortest time, and there is still room for this game.

Trim also looked very excited, and he seemed a little attractive on the sidelines. Yes, Turkish football is still a marginal position in Europe. He is a Turk. He is proud of being able to coach a wealthy team, and Trim will be even more proud of being able to get good results.

Li Tie called his teammates together and said, "Looking like this today, we can't defend. Let's have a battle to see who can score more. Midfielders Andrea and Sebastian are in charge of organizing. If you have the ball, you can go directly to me and Drogba. The others are responsible for covering for them. On defense, pay attention to positioning, don't just stand still, move, and pay more attention to assisting defense. And Peter, pay more attention to attacking."

The game continues.

The two sides launched a fierce offensive battle, and both sides are five midfielders, and the midfield fight is quite fierce.

However, Ronaldinho's tandem role in the midfield is very obvious, and AC Milan's midfield has gradually gained the upper hand.

Seeing this scene, Li Tie also had to retreat to help defend the opponent. He is not a stubborn person, knowing that the opponent has the upper hand, of course he has to change his position.

Di Canio and Li Tie immediately switched positions, and after the retreat, Li Tie quickly stabilized the situation again.

In the 30th minute, Ronaldinho swayed Pirlo and Di Biagio away and then took a long shot. As a result, Li Tie shot from behind, fell to the ground and left the ball, and Ronaldinho kicked into the air.

Li Tie kicked it to Pirlo, and Pirlo immediately launched another long pass to attack, and the ball landed right in front of Di Canio!
Di Canio stopped the ball and passed in one go. With a jump ball, the ball went directly over Junior's head, followed by a volley with his left foot, and the ball went straight to the dead corner, 2:1!

Inter Milan leads again.

Di Canio also excitedly rushed to the sidelines to celebrate the goal. Although he returned to Serie A this season, he still feels good, but he scored a little less. This goal is very exciting and exciting.

More importantly, this ball put Inter Milan in the lead again, and of course Di Canio also wanted to be the one who broke the game.

Lippi waved his fist in satisfaction on the sidelines. From Li Tie's interception, to Pirlo's pass, to Di Canio's pass and shot, the process was so smooth that the opponent had nothing to do.

Such a goal can match Inter Milan and the derby.

Di Canio also ran to Li Tie and Pirlo, and the three of them hugged and laughed. Many people now have no complaints about the team letting go of Eto'o and choosing Di Canio.

Di Canio's temper has been well controlled this season. Let's see what surprises he can give.

Re-kick-off, AC Milan immediately attacked again.

However, Li Tie's destruction in the midfield was very effective.

Ronaldinho is no longer so chic, and Li Tie obviously attaches great importance to him, destroying his dribbling.

Once Ronaldinho can't get the ball, AC Milan's frontcourt is still a bit unsmooth. Crespo and Shevchenko are not particularly good at high-altitude balls. After all, it will be easier for the opponent to defend in this way.

The remainder of the first half saw a couple of shots from each side without rewriting the score.

During the half-time break, Lippi praised Li Tie's change. This is Li Tie's active recovery to participate in the defense. If he changed to someone else, he might not change his position on the field in order to score goals.

"In the second half, continue to pay attention to the defense against the bucktooth, don't relax, shoot more decisively in front, we pass the ball more, and we are not afraid of wasting opportunities."

Lippi focused on Drogba's comments. In the first half, Drogba was a little hesitant to shoot, and was destroyed by the opponent many times. The effect was not good.

Drogba also nodded. After Li Tie withdrew, Drogba also had a lot of chances and created a few chances for Di Canio, but none of them turned into goals.

It has to be said that it is a bit regrettable, but in football games, it is impossible to score every shot.

After Lippi finished speaking, Li Tie quietly talked with Di Canio.

"Think of ways to attack Costacurta more. He is the most likely to be crippled at this point. You and Drogba are messing with him. If you charge a few more times, it may be effective."

Li Tie said.

In the first half, Costacurta made a return pass error. The growth of age still had a great impact on his competitive state, and the decline in this state was still very fast.

In fact, at this age, Costacurta is fine as a substitute, but as the main force, he can't maintain his state for a few games.

After the start of the second half, AC Milan started another round of onslaught.

Shevchenko's two consecutive shots almost broke through Cech's goal, while Crespo was a little tired and seemed to be a bit inactive in running.

He was then replaced by Jose Mari.

Inter Milan also used Pauletta to replace Di Canio, who was a little physically weak, and continued to strengthen the strength of the striker.

Pauleta got a chance as soon as he came up. In the 72nd minute, Pirlo made a direct pass and Deisler made a precise pass from the right. Drogba's header was saved by Abiadi. Pauleta made a supplementary shot, 3:1!

Satisfied, Pauleta ran to the sidelines to celebrate the goal. This kind of opportunity is too rare for him.

And Inter Milan's recent attacks were too easy. The personal abilities of the players did determine the trend of the game.

When the team has an accurate passer and a center with excellent ability to grab points, it will be easier to win this game.

Costacurta looked exhausted, watching the other party celebrate, he let out a long breath, thinking to himself that he was really old.

Later, he took the initiative to ask for a rest, which also made coach Trim feel a little helpless.

After the score is expanded, AC Milan will definitely fight back crazily.

After the re-kick-off, Ronaldinho took the ball more and more, but he began to enter his own mode again, constantly breaking through and attacking Inter Milan's defense.

In this way, AC Milan does not have many opportunities.

Shevchenko and Jose Mari in front became telegraph poles, unable to get the ball, their threat was zero.

However, Ronaldinho's technique has improved again. If it is not for the defense, one-on-one defense, even if it is Li Tie, it will be difficult to lock this kid.

As he grows older and adapts to the rhythm of the game, Ronaldinho's threat becomes more and more serious. Within two years, he will become a world-class star.

In the 82nd minute, Ronaldinho's long-range shot hit the crossbar, which was the best chance.

Subsequently, he was also replaced.

In the end, in this derby, Inter Milan defeated AC Milan 3:1, and continued to lead the league with 7 consecutive victories at the beginning of the league.

"It's a pity that we lost the game and missed the opportunity to catch up, but we played well this season. We will seize the opportunity and try not to fall behind too much. Of course, the stability of Inter Milan makes it difficult for us to surpass. Li Tie still plays an obvious role in the midfield. He adjusted his position in time and made our offense difficult. In addition, he has scored 16 league goals. This is an alternative player. He is hopeless. Congratulations to Inter Milan!"

At Trim's post-match press conference, he congratulated Inter Milan in a very gracious manner.

Lippi said with satisfaction: "Yes, we continue to win. This is the strongest Inter Milan in history. The opponent gave us a lot of pressure, but Li Tie quickly adjusted his position. He is a smart player and knows how to win. At the last moment, the opponent's No. 10 player put a lot of pressure on our goal, but our defense did a good job, so we won again. We will continue to maintain the rhythm of winning, and in the third line, we will strive to defend the title successfully."

In another game, Juventus was tied 0:0 by Bologna, and Inter Milan's lead was further expanded. This season, it is the moment when Inter Milan performed their best. It seems that they are really invincible.

Perhaps, after Li Tie leaves, other teams will have a chance to break Inter Milan's monopoly, but this may have to wait for several years.
