Chapter 378 The Significance of the Derby

The Milan Derby, or "The Virgin Derby", the two protagonists of the derby are two football clubs from Milan City, Italy.

One of these two football clubs is called "Associazione Calin" and the other is called "Inter Min".

According to domestic translation habits, the former Milan is usually translated into "AC Milan". There is nothing wrong with this. Compared to translation into "Milan United", the latter is easier to get out of the way. Another "Inter Milan" explains it very well. The original intention of their split from Milan to establish a new team was to build a football team that can accommodate all rivers and belong to the entire "INTER".

So, AC Milan fans have always emphasized that they are the only Milan, while Inter Milan fans feel that they should not be limited to a small city or a country entering the Mediterranean.

In the history of both teams, there have been achievements that other clubs have extremely jealous but never achieved.

AC Milan has won the Serie A championship, Italian Cup, Italian Super Cup, Champions League, European Cup Winners' Cup, European Super Cup and Toyota Cup (Intercontinental Cup) championship; Inter Milan has won the Serie A championship, Italian Cup, Italian Super Cup, European Super Cup, European League Cup and Toyota Cup (Intercontinental Cup) championship. Although Milan is slightly better in the number of honors, it is actually not giving in to each other.

Next year marks the 100th anniversary of Milan's team. In these 99 years, both teams have glorious moments, and in glorious moments they have been invincible in Europe.

Whether it is the era of the Three Musketeers of Milan, the era of Capello, or the era of Inter Milan, the era of Meacha, and the era of Inter Milan, two different teams from the same city showed that this long-standing city could cultivate two football teams with completely different styles, completely different beliefs but can also surpass Europe's football teams.

The two teams compete for beauty internationally, and at home, it has given birth to the world's most famous Milan City Derby!

In fact, in Italy, there are at least six cities in derby wars. Only Milan Derby has become the most famous derby in the world, no doubt about it!

Unlike the Roman Derby, the Glasgow Derby or the Madrid Derby, the Milan Derby is more like a tug-of-war game within the family. It is a battle of honor, not a civil war! The reasons behind the fans behind the Milan Derby support the two teams do not have Zheng Zhi issues, social issues or some religious divisions.

Milan Derby, only represents honor!

In 1945, the old Moratti took over Inter Milan and created an unparalleled era of Inter Milan for the Nerazzurri. Fifty years later, Moratti's third son, the oil king Massimo Moratti took over Inter Milan, and the first thing he had to do was to revive the glory of his father's era.

Since taking over Inter Milan, Morati, who was eager to succeed, received support from Tronketi and began to spend money to buy stars in the transfer market to build a club with luxurious stars.

Ronaldo was bought by him at a sky-high price. Such a policy also made Moratti enjoy some "sweetness" last season. The League Cup championship doubled Moratti's confidence. He bought Baggio, who had played for Milan this season, with the purpose of using it to win the Serie A championship. Think about it, if Inter Milan can win the championship at the Milan Centennial Celebration, would fans say which Milan is the most authentic Milan in Milan?

Inter Milan's huge investment has indeed created a dreamy combination that dazzled fans, and even played almost wonderful artistic football for a while. Its technical and beautiful style attracted the attention of fans around the world, and even established a vivid image of flesh and blood and soul in European football.

But Inter Milan has many problems: too many foreign corpses and weak local players, which makes Inter Milan always lack fighting spirit and stability, and always likes to lose their chains at critical moments. This has gradually become a "cancer" for Inter Milan. For example, last season's final championship competition between Inter Milan and Juventus, even though Naples, where Ou Chuliang is, gave Juventus a fatal blow at the last moment, Inter Milan still did not seize this god-given opportunity, and even wanted to give up the championship. You must know that in the first half of the league, Juventus was still far behind by Inter Milan!

On the contrary, when Berlusconi took over Milan, Milan was experiencing a serious crisis. Not only did the team hover on the brink of relegation, but the club was also on the verge of bankruptcy.

It was at this time that Berlusconi "takes the opportunity to enter" and buys most of Milan's shares.

The Three Musketeers of Milan and Capello Dynasty after that also proved Berlusconi's management ability.

However, the extreme will decline, and the extreme will turn back. After Milan "fights all over the world", even if Capello regained Milan, he could not change the team in a short time. In the past two seasons, Milan did not act like a powerful man who could play in the European arena.

However, Milan fans are very confident in the team, and they believe that the team will soon regain their strength and dominate the world. This confidence comes from Milan's inheritance: unlike Inter Milan who bought this and that in the past two years, Milan has never had any problems with "spiritual leader".

All along, core figures are indispensable in the Italian giants. These leading figures are local players. They have experienced vicissitudes and glory in the team, and have also survived difficulties and troughs. At critical moments, being able to stand up to stabilize the morale of the army.

Inter Milan's "star tactics" have led to the fact that such a leader does not exist in the team. As long as Maldini is still standing on the stadium, no one believes that Milan will easily accept failure!

As for fans, in the official Italian statistics, Inter Milan's fans' support rate is 3% higher than Milan. However, considering that fans around the world and Chinese fans in Asia are also included, Inter Milan fans dare not say that they have too many people!

Or Ou Chuliang alone is enough to fill in the 3% or even completely exceed it!

Before the next round of the league came, "Milan Sports" compiled the records of the two teams' matches in recent years.

Since the 1996-97 season, the two sides have faced each other six times, AC Milan has 1 win, 1 draw and 4 losses. From the perspective of "scene", Inter Milan seems to be slightly better.

But it is worth mentioning that in the only Italian Cup in Milan won in these six games, Inter Milan was kicked a shameful number of 5-0! In this way, the game Milan lost to Inter Milan 0-1 in the second leg became "irrelevant".

After letting fans know that the two teams have a win or defeat, the newspaper wrote another report about the players.

In the long history, only seven players have played for Milan and Inter Milan, namely Giuseppe Meazza, Lorenzo Buffon, Aldo Bate Flavio Collovati, Aldo Selena, Robert Baggio and Moltz. Giuseppe Meazza, the common star of both sides, has scored the highest goal in the derby game, and Moltz is the third player to have not played for other teams directly transferred between the two teams.

Although Ganzi is basically a striker substitute in Milan now, he has scored goals for every team in the derby game. For Baggio, he is facing his old club Milan for the first time since transferring to Inter Milan.

Another thing that fans are looking forward to is what role Ronaldo, who just won the World Cup runner-up, will play in this wonderful derby battle.

Since joining Inter in the 97-98 season, Ronaldo has participated in all four derby games in the 97-98 season, including the shameful 5-0.

In these four games, Ronaldo only scored two goals, and all of them were league goals.

Even aliens with such high goal efficiency have no good way to play the derby, which is enough to show how intense the Milan derby is.

Moreover, the "Great Wall of China", known as the "Alien Nemesis" this season, joined AC Milan, which has also become a highlight for fans.

Ronaldo has said more than once in public media that if you have the opportunity, you will definitely break through the gate guarded by Ou Chuliang, and the faster the better.

Now the two can meet in such a world-renowned derby battle in Milan, adding another sacred color to their duel.

Although Inter Milan is still spending money this season, Milan has been trying to transform.

But from the long history of the battle between the two teams, although the two teams have their own ups and downs, it feels like you finish the show. However, no matter which team comes from the peak, which team is at a low point. When facing a mortal enemy in the city, the current results, strength, stars, lineup, formation, equipment, coaches, tactics, etc. are all in a "balanced" state, or they all end up in "nihilism". When both team members begin to fight for honor, all the so-called factors that can affect the situation of the battle have become clouds!

No side dares to win, and no side will lose easily!

......

Like every derby, the game has not yet begun, and fans on both sides have begun to attack each other.

On the road to Milan City, fans in different clothes can be seen quarreling together and scolding each other everywhere.

This is already the norm in Milan. Although the fans are excited, they will be restrained and will not cause personal attacks or police appearances.

The day before the game started, after training, Maldini called everyone together to conduct a pre-match mobilization.

Seeing his teammates gathering on the sidelines one after another, Wei'er walked to Ou Chuliang with a smile and said cheerfully: "Ou, it depends on you in the next game!"

"Mr. George, don't say that. You are the striker and the team's general who attacks the city and the village. You have to rely on you to win the victory!" Ou Chuliang replied modestly.

For Wei'er, he also knew that he was at the end of his career. Milan has been reforming in the past two years, and he is also being marginalized little by little.

However, Wei'er was very open-minded. He also wanted to set up the last shift for Milan at the end of his career and complete the handover smoothly.

And Wei'er had already decided to go to politics after retirement. After fighting with Naples last season and negotiating with Ou Chuliang, he had already decided.

So after Ou Chuliang transferred to Milan, Wei'a took good care of Ou Chuliang in the team. Under Wei'a's prestige, other players did not dare to have extreme behavior towards Ou Chuliang.

In the team, the two are both teachers and friends. What Ou Chuliang can teach Wei'er is the advanced experience of China's reform and opening up. Wei'er is also considering whether to go to the A-A in the last few years of his career, so that he can play football while integrating into local life, and while making money, he can learn from China's open experience as a citizen. Wouldn't it be a killing two birds with one stone?

"Oh, I'm here to send you a top-secret document. Do you want to take a look?"

Weiah raised his right hand and held a newspaper on the street that cost one dollar a piece of paper.

Since it is a newspaper, it cannot be a "top secret".

Although Ou Chuliang has the habit of reading newspapers, he is also very curious about the contents of the newspaper Wei's hand.

After taking it, a photo of Ronaldo's rabbit teeth was printed on the front of the newspaper, titled "Alien's Worries".

"Ronnie?" When he saw that it was Ronaldo's report, Ou Chuliang also became interested.

After reading a paragraph while walking, Ou Chuliang then understood what was written on it.

After returning to Milan from the frustrated Ronaldo in the World Cup, he made up his mind to do a big game in the league. However, in a training session in October, Ronaldo accidentally wounded the ligament in his right knee and missed more than a month of training and competition.

The seventh round of the league has passed, Inter Milan has won 3 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses, and is currently ranked eighth in Serie A. Although there are two wins and one loss in the Champions League group stage and are temporarily ranked second, China Milan has lost three consecutive games in the league!

Losing 3-5 to Lazio, 0-1 to Juventus, and then losing 2-3 to Barry in the last round of the league.

The team has such a poor record in the league, which makes people unable to connect Ronaldo's injury absence.

"Inter Milan without aliens is no longer terrible!"

"Inter Milan is entirely supported by aliens alone!"

"Aliens are gone, Inter Milan falls into the mortal world."

Such arguments are everywhere, which is also one of the troubles caused by the lack of a spiritual leader in Inter Milan.

This newspaper details Ronaldo's injury during that training, the follow-up treatment and the doctor's gradual change of medical advice. Although Ronaldo has recovered and discharged from the hospital and has undergone an adaptive recovery training in the team, the newspaper released a "shocking news". The reporter learned through private channels with Ronaldo's attending doctor that Ronaldo wants to completely recover and restore his high-intensity athletic ability like football, at least December will be at least in December.

And it's not yet mid-November!

In other words, Ronaldo's report on "recovery" is fake. For the sake of the derby, Ronaldo "tried his life" to get up and join the war!

The newspaper did not commend Ronaldo for his honor for Inter Milan. The article not only pointed out the pain of Ronaldo, but also analyzed in detail what impact such an injury would have on him on the court.

What will happen when he dribbles, what will happen when he catches the ball, and what will happen when he shoots.

Although such "technical posts" are not popular, they still have some practical effects when used as a "top secret information" to Milan players.

For example, although Maldini did not gain the upper hand in four matches with Ronaldo, he could use this information to find Ronaldo's "pain points" and then carry out targeted defense.

After reading a rough look, Ou Chuliang shook his head and tore the newspaper to pieces.

"Ronnie's injury is not a pleasure. From the perspective of a football player, there is no essential difference between us and him. I think if you and I get hurt one day, I don't want our opponent to attack our wounds!"

"Oh, I knew you were like this!" Weia smiled, "Oliver, that guy, also bet with me that you will definitely regard it as a guideline, as if you were to get a treasure, and you might have taken notes now!"

Although Wei'er made a joke, Ou Chuliang was really embarrassed because he did write it down, but he was not using a pen, but his brain.

But he didn't want to give this kind of thing to Maldini, or Costakuta, Ayala and others. If some of them saw it, they might really kick Ronaldo back to the hospital again on the field.

In that case, Ou Chuliang will definitely feel guilty for the rest of his life.

"Let's forget it!" Ou Chuliang shook his head, as if he wanted to throw out the things that had just been unconsciously remembered into his mind. During his injury, Ronaldo only sent a blessing through email. Thinking about it now, after returning from China, he seemed to have neglected this friend who came to "Rabbit Tooth Star".

"Oh, don't you desire victory?" The gathering team members were not far away, and Wei'er asked again.

"Of course I long for victory!" Ou Chuliang clenched his fists, "but I yearn for a victory of mutual respect!"

"You are right. If you want to defeat your opponent, you have to use our strength instead of other miscellaneous things." Weia nodded, looking at Maldini who kept waving to him, the two of them accelerated their pace again.

After everyone was in place, even Zacheroni, Hawke and others were given aside.

Although they are Milan's coaches, at this moment, only Captain Martini is the most qualified to stand in front of everyone.

"My teammates, I believe that before joining Milan, you knew that Milan was a great club!"

"There are old teammates who have shared hardships with me here, and new players who have just joined this season. But no matter if you have been here for five years or five months, what I want to say is that one day is red and black, and one lifelong red and black!"

Speaking of this, Maldini glanced around with a sharp eye.

Gan Zi was a little embarrassed because he had heard the same words at Inter Milan two years ago. However, in that sentence, he changed "red" to "blue". And he also believed that Baggio, who was on the other side, had the same mood as him.

"We have fought together for seven league games and three cup games this season. Before these ten games, I did not bring everyone together to make a pre-war declaration for everyone like today."

"Because I know that everyone is adult, a qualified football player, and knows what they should do on the court."

"But this time it's different!"

"This is a war that has lasted for decades. For the Milanese, we can lose everything, but we can't lose the derby!"

"In the Milan derby, you have to win, or you can't be happy!"
