The Serie A league continues, and the competition for the championship and Champions League seats has reached a fever pitch.

In the 37th round of Serie A, which was played one day ahead of schedule on May 7, Juventus defeated Cagliari 2-0 away from home.

After this battle, Juventus' lead continued to expand.

They now have 81 points, 5 points ahead of second-placed Milan.

With only 76 points, Milan needs to win this game if it wants to keep its final chance of winning the championship.

You still have to win the next game.

It still depends on whether Juventus' next league opponent, Atalanta, can stop the Bianconeri.

Of all the conditions, the most difficult thing is probably praying for Atlanta to win.

But even so, other conditions are not easy to meet.

For example, the Milan Derby in the 38th round of the league on May 8.

The current situation at Inter Milan is delicate.

After new coach Stramaccioni took office, the team's performance has improved somewhat.

Now they are ranked 7th in the league, tied with Roma, but with a slight disadvantage in goal difference.

Roma played one game first and already lost, failing to get three points.

In other words, if Inter Milan can win this round, or draw, they will be able to return to the European competition.

Therefore, this game is also extremely important for Inter Milan.

Although it is in the same stadium, today is Inter Milan's home game.

So today the stadium is called Meazza.

In the stands, fans from both sides came in early, shouted wildly, and cheered for their teams.

Both sides have also lined up their strongest lineups and are striving to win this game.

In the AC Milan formation, Chang Ming is the core organization today.

At this stage of the league, many veterans have exhausted their physical strength.

After losing to Lazio in the Italian Cup semi-finals a few days ago, many AC Milan veterans suffered injuries of varying degrees.

Gattuso, Ambrosini, Van Bommel, Inzaghi, Seedorf...

In this game, AC Milan's bench was somewhat stretched.

Starting lineup, Milan used 4-3-3 today.

Mainly because there are really not many midfielders available...

On the front line, Ibrahimovic is in the center, Cassano and Pato are on the left and right.

Cassano was able to start this game solely because of El Shaarawi's minor injury and Robinho's red card suspension.

In the second half of the season, Cassano and Allegri had a fierce conflict.

Cassano was relegated to the sidelines and will leave the team at the end of the season.

And this game may be his AC Milan swan song.

In the midfield position, Chang Ming, Nocerino and Boateng partner.

It is worth mentioning that Aquilani failed to enter the starting lineup in this game.

Logically speaking, his performance during this period has been very good and he is worthy of partnering with Chang Ming.

With two midfield playmakers with passing ability on the field, AC Milan's tactics will be richer.

Moreover, Chang Ming also has strong defensive ability, running and covering a large area, and has no problem defending in the middle.

But Aquilani failed to start.

This puzzled many fans.

Even Allegri himself was very depressed.

This is an order from AC Milan.

Aquilani came to AC Milan on loan from Liverpool this season. In the loan contract, there is a mandatory buyout clause.

If Aquilani plays 25 games, AC Milan must implement the buyout clause.

As of now, Aquilani has played 24 games.

If this game is started and more than half of the game is played, it will be counted as 25 games played in a single season.

The mandatory buyout will be implemented.

Aquilani naturally hopes to stay, but AC Milan's senior management is obviously not willing.

So in this game, they told Allegri that even if they use Aquilani, they will only let him play in the second half at most.

24.5, Allegri must control this speed...

Because Aquilani did not start, Chang Ming was the team's only midfield organizer today.

The responsibility lies with you.

On the Inter Milan side, Long Yu also rarely became the starting striker.

Milito was injured again, and this season is considered canceled.

Forlan is in extremely poor condition and has been abandoned. He has already found a new home and will return to South America next season to join Internacional Brasil.

Zarate is not acclimated, and Inter Milan has decided not to buy him out at the end of the season.

That's why Long Yu, Inter Milan's starting striker, got a chance to play in this game.

Long Yu and Pazzini, this pair of very tacit understanding partners, became Inter Milan's weapon to destroy the enemy in this game.

In fact, many people say that Long Yu and Pazzini are a perfect match.

The two are just like Inzaghi and Vieri in their prime, one is nimble and light, the other is tall and strong.

On the side of the court, the red and black Chang Ming and the blue and black Long Yu met each other.

The two looked at each other, their faces no longer relaxed as before, but much more solemn.

"Da Ming, Inter Milan must win this game, otherwise they will lose their European spot next season."

"Xiao Long, AC Milan must also get three points in this game, otherwise the league championship will be completely gone."

"This kind of competition is really stressful."

"It's fine for you and me to go all out, but do your own thing and don't ask about the future."

"good!"

The two of them didn't say much, and turned to walk to the court to warm up with their teammates.

After the warm-up, the players from both sides accepted the coach's arrangements in the locker room.

Go all out to win!

This is the common goal of both teams today!

In a crucial battle, both sides fought hard!

Today, Inter Milan deployed a 3-5-2 formation, with Chivu, Samuel and Lucio on the defensive line.

In the midfield position, Zanetti, Sneijder, Cambiasso, Coutinho and Yu Nagatomo all formed an M-shaped position.

On the front line, Long Yu and Pazzini were waiting for the opportunity to strike, waiting for a fatal blow!

AC Milan also formed a 4-3-3 formation. The front trident is ready to go, and Chang Ming in the middle has a bright eye!

The referee's whistle sounded and the game began!

Inter Milan kicks off first!

Sneijder controlled the field in the middle and passed the ball continuously.

Milan's midfielder and frontcourt rushed forward and began to press!

Today, Milan's midfield and frontcourt are all young combinations, especially the combination of Chang Ming, Nocerino and Boateng, who are in their prime.

Inter Milan did not dare to relax due to the continuous pressing in the midfield!

Sneijder beats Zanetti!

Zanetti moved in a large area and handed it to Nagatomo Yuto on the other side!

Chang Ming predicted in advance and the tackle was successful!

Pass the ball diagonally to Boateng who drives forward!

Boateng stabbed Cassano!

Cassano changes direction!

Cross from the wing!
