Section 24 Milan Derby (Part 2)
The game was full of derby flavor from the beginning. Both players were in the game with emotions. All the skills and tactics were unnecessary. The players on both sides were just constantly doing ball grabbing, intercepting balls, tackles and other actions on the court. Seeing that the atmosphere on the court was slowly developing towards the fight. The referee decisively gave out three yellow cards in 8 minutes, which slightly suppressed the excessive movements of the players on both sides.
After a chaotic start at the beginning, both sides began to play their own tactics step by step. AC Milan slowly gained the advantage in the field. AC Milan occupied 60% of the ball control time in the first 30 minutes. There were 2 threatening shots, but they were all resolved by goalkeeper Paliuka one by one.
"Inter Milan sent Carlos, who had never started before today. Judging from the first 30 minutes of the game, he probably had a strong offensive hope today because he was unable to start for a long time, but no threat has been formed yet." The commentator felt incomprehensible about Wenger sending a new player in such a game.
At this time, Carlos was also full of anger. He thought that I, the defender who claimed to be the best goal in Brazil, had a record for transferring to Inter Milan this year. Unexpectedly, Inter Milan could only play as a substitute. Today, he finally got the start of a game, and it was such a game that was attracting attention from all over the world. I must perform well.
"It's AC Milan's corner kick now, oh! It's a pity that the ball was destroyed by the opponent after it was sent!" The commentator continued his commentary work: "The ball reached Bertie's feet! Bertie took the ball on the left of Inter Milan's penalty area! This is a good opportunity. Now AC Milan is pressing more, and the full-back Tassoti is standing near the center circle, and only Bareci is the only one in the backcourt! Passing the ball! He passed a ball behind him, and the ball was passed behind Tassoti, Carlos! Carlos, who was ambushing near the center line, and he was fighting against Tassoti. Carlos was very fast, oh! Not very fast! It's very fast! Carlos got the ball! Carlos relied on his extremely fast speed to grab the ball in front of Tassoti. He currently led the ball to Milan's penalty area. Tassoti was chasing from the back, and Bareci also came up."
"Carlos is really fast, maybe he will be a good choice to practice sprinting." The commentator joked.
"Carlos dribbled the ball, and he was running forward. Tasotti behind him obviously could not keep up with his speed, and he had already pulled 3 or 4 positions away. Bareci! Bareci fouled, and Bareci tripped Carlos at 15 meters left in front of the penalty area. This is a smart foul. According to the momentum just now, Carlos may break into the penalty area. At that time, the foul will be a penalty kick. Now this position is about 31 meters away from the goal. The threat of a free kick in this position should not be very big." The commentator commented.
"I'll punish this ball!" Carlos pulled Costa. I must use this free kick to let the whole world know me, Robert Carlos, and Carlos swears in his heart.
Carlos bent down and put the ball down, retreated more than 10 meters. He looked up at the wall and took a deep breath! Running up, Carlos slowly accelerated as he stepped on a small step.
"Carlos' speed is getting faster and faster. He seems to be preparing to shoot vigorously. He is ready to apply his speed advantage to his free kick! I heard that his free kick is very famous in Brazil. Let's open our eyes wide! Let's see what kind of free kick this will be." The commentator's mouth was unusually slapped in the blink of an eye and said such a long string of words.
Carlos kicked the ball with his left foot outside the instep and flew into the goal like a shell with a strange arc against the right post.
"The ball went in! The ball actually went in!" The commentator was obviously very surprised by the goal. He continued: "This ball is so wonderful! I just felt that the ball was about to fly out of the post. Unexpectedly, the ball drew a clear arc in the air and drilled into the goal against the right post. This ball was so wonderful! The goalkeeper had no time to respond! Perhaps even if he could reflect, he would not be able to save such a fast ball! Carlos's free kick would definitely participate in the selection of the best goal of the year!"
Carlos ran all over the field excitedly! His teammates chased him behind him, wanting to hold him to celebrate, but Carlos was so excited at this time. His body was more swift under the stimulation of the goal. No one could catch him. Only the referee's warning could make him stop...
The fans of the traditional North Stand Inter Milan fan area were excited! "Robert!...Carlos!" The uniform shouts seemed to make the whole Milan tremble! A huge banner made in advance finally came into play. The fans pulled it out and faced the opposite South Stand, which read: "Overside! Please go back to the second division!" (AC Milan is currently ranked 9th and only 3 points from the relegation zone. At the same time, they have had the experience of participating in the second division before.)
Xiao Hua was also extremely excited in the VIP seat. He knew the significance of the derby too well. A victory in a derby can bring him countless supporters. Inter Milan needs to defeat his opponent too much. After being suppressed by his opponent for so many years, fans need too much opportunity to vent their passion!
Berlusconi next to Xiao Hua was indeed a person who had seen strong winds and waves. He was not excited or upset and just smiled at Xiao Hua and said, "Masco! This Carlos is really good. It seems that you have found a baby again!"
Xiao Hua thought to himself that you won’t want to poach again, Carlos, don’t think about it for the time being.
The game continued. After Inter Milan led with one goal, AC Milan significantly strengthened its offensive. Unfortunately, the thunder and rain were low. Under Inter Milan's intensive defense, it failed to form any threatening offensive. Inter Milan used the turn of Carlos and Bertti on the left to break through, make up for the position, and frequently broke through the opponent's old right. With the cooperation of the wing, Delvicio in the middle got several opportunities to head the ball, but unfortunately they were both bravely blocked by the opponent's goalkeeper. Inter Milan's only disadvantage in the first half was that Borgkamp disappeared on the court as always under the opponent's special guard.
At the end of the first half, Inter Milan temporarily led 1:0.
At the beginning of the second half, Capello also discovered the problem with his team and replaced Tasotti with the young player Panucci. Inter Milan did not make a substitution.
"Panucci's appearance significantly strengthened AC Milan's right-hand defense. Inter Milan's two players on the left want to continue the performance of the first half. At present, it seems difficult. Panucci, the player, may be the main player after this game." The commentator analyzed the situation on the court very professionally.
In the 15th minute of the second half, AC Milan had a corner kick in the frontcourt, and Deselli's header popped up! Xiao Hua was scared by the ball in the stands and was sweating in a cold sweat.
In the 20th minute, AC Milan advanced in the frontcourt, and Boban's long shot popped up again. Xiao Hua found in the stands that Berlusconi, who had been silent, also stomped his feet hard.
The situation on the court made Wenger unable to sit still. He immediately replaced Borgkamp, who had no performance, and replaced Zanetti, and scored 541. Delvicio was the only one in the frontcourt. At the same time, the players were asked to start an active fight in the midfield and try not to let the war burn into their own penalty area.
The two goal posts obviously had a huge blow to Milan's morale and confidence in winning. Coupled with the back and forth running in the first 70 minutes, AC Milan's physical strength was already very large at this time, and the running on the field was obviously not as good as the first 70 minutes.
Capello replaced Costakuta in 80 minutes and replaced Massaro to play three forwards, but he never got any good opportunities under Inter Milan's iron barrel formation. Instead, Inter Milan took advantage of his opponent's physical strength and reduced personnel in the back line, and made several high-quality counterattacks. If it weren't for Rossi's brave performance, the score might have been rewritten to 2:0.
The match finally ended with a referee's whistle. Inter Milan defeated his opponent with a score of 1:0.
In the stands, Xiao Hua excitedly hugged everyone around him, including Berlusconi. Berlusconi is indeed a more graceful person. Not only did he congratulate Xiao Hua, he also sincerely stated on the surface that the tactics of Inter Milan were very reasonable in this game, and winning was reasonable. As for what he thought in his heart, no one knew.
After waving goodbye to the guests in the stands, Xiao Hua also ran into the stadium and accepted the cheers of the fans with the players. Xiao Hua, wearing the No. 12 jersey, was treated like a star. While the fans shouted the names of each player, they did not forget him, the chairman, "Masco! We love you!" The slogan also appeared several times!
The celebration in the stadium lasted for half an hour, and the unsatisfactory fans continued to vent their own carnival outside the stadium, venting their excess energy!
Milan is destined to be sleepless tonight!
