Chapter 217: The stars are dim, the moon is out of the mountains (7)
On the evening of September 28, the San Siro Stadium had turned into a sea of red, black and blue with clear distinctions.
Today is the home court of AC Milan, so I can get more tickets, but it will never occupy the opponent's die-hard stands. On the other hand, when the stadium starts to be called "Meazza", the opponent will be merciful. After all, it is In a "show" co-directed by the two clubs, fans can yell at each other, players can fight, and coaches can yell at each other, but this is all part of the "show" and there is a tacit understanding between the two clubs.
If the two clubs are really at odds, it would be a joke. With so many derbies, how can the shareholders of the two clubs roll up their sleeves and start playing? The Holy Alliance of Serie A has cheated Moratti miserably in the past few years. He didn't fall out with his opponent either. Of course, he wasn't easy to mess with either, so he just punched out the phone door...
After all: Taiyima bullied Yin!
The two sides sat in the locker room to make the final game arrangements. AC Milan decided to send Pato, Ronaldinho, Kaká, Seedorf, Ambrosini, Gattuso, Jankulovski, Maldini, Kaladze, Gianluca Zambrotta and Abbiati started.
Inter Milan decided to send Ibrahimovic, Wang Ai, Quaresma, Zanetti, Cambiasso, Vieira, Chiwu, Materazzi, Burdisso, Maicon and Julio as the starters.
Both sides played 433 and showed a positive and enterprising spirit.
Also sitting on the benches of both sides were Shevchenko, Flamini, Bonera, Stankovic, Cruz, Balotelli and others.
Jose and "Ancelotti, who has only won one Super Cup" standing on the sidelines, are also full of topics.
At 8:20 p.m., the two sides took the stage one after another under the leadership of the fierce-looking Maldini and the dull-looking Zanetti. From the expressions of the two captains, you can see the spiritual temperament of the two teams, at least at this stage. .Since the jerseys of both sides have distinct colors, Inter Milan does not need to change into white clothes even in the "away game", but a standard blue and black striped shirt.
After lining up, shaking hands, and taking photos, the crowd dispersed. Wang Ai, who played the left wing and forward positions today, moved his body and occasionally glanced into the stands. He was the absolute focus today, just like the newspaper before the game that he was responsible for three tasks. One-third of the traffic of Inter Milan. On the court today, at least half of the Inter Milan fans were staring at him all the time.
Even AC Milan fans are not much different.
The cheers and curses together formed the appearance music of a superstar.
In the VIP box in the stands, the bosses of both sides were there, celebrities from both sides were also there, and officials from UEFA were also there. In the press box, Lin Long was also there, and he also brought his girlfriend from CCTV Sports Channel. , and Lin Jiao, who can't tell who is the older sister.
At two o'clock in the evening at the old CCTV building in Beijing, Liu Jianhong and Zhang Lu had already adjusted to the jet lag and were full of energy. They were talking to the camera. The fans who got up to watch the game in the middle of the night were happy to listen to their nonsense.
When I interviewed Wang Ai on the phone before the game, Wang Ai publicly said that he was in good condition.
At 8:30, the whistle was clear and noisy, two Milans and two 433s started at the same time!
In the 3rd minute of the game, Wang Ai broke through Gattuso from the left. Before the opponent's defender blocked the ball in an emergency, he suddenly chose to cross the ball with the instep of his right foot again. Quaresma, who knew well, shot from the outside. Unfortunately, the speed was slightly slower and was blocked by
Gianluca Zambrotta blocked in front of the goal.
Quaresma gave Wang Ai a thumbs up, and Wang Ai laughed and ran back.
In the 5th minute of the opening, Wang Ai cooperated with Qi Wu who came in and once again easily passed Gattuso's block and rushed to the goal. This time he chose to take a long shot on his own. Appiati, who was already on guard, was very prepared for this tricky shot.
The long shot still jumped up as hard as he could, and finally with a flick of his fingertips, he interfered with the flight path of the football and hit the post with a clang.
There was a neat cry of exclamation from the stands, both the enemy and ourselves!
Mr. Berlusconi in the VIP box couldn't help but shrugged his shoulders. Moratti next to him said sympathetically: "The temperature is a bit low today."
Berlusconi nodded with a smile and rolled his eyes in his mind, you always like to scare me with him!
A wonderful pass and a shot kicked off today's battle and also demonstrated Wang Ai's excellent condition. Pato, Ronaldinho and Kaká on the opposite side have yet to perform, but Wang Ai has already threatened the goal twice.
Already.
How does this work?
Ronaldinho and the others have accelerated their attack speed and frequency. However, although the Portuguese has just taken office, he is known for his defense. With his adjustment, the loose Inter Milan defense gradually appeared to be at the level of Chelsea. This is the first time Ronaldinho and the others have played against each other.
As for the third attack, it was still Inter Milan.
In the 11th minute of the game, Ibrahimovic broke through with the ball and finally missed the goal from a small angle.
Inter Milan's successive blows have made the Rossoneri fans really lose their composure. If they are not careful, it will be a huge defeat. With this lineup and configuration of ours, how can we allow a huge defeat?
In the 14th minute of the game, the Rossoneri's first attack finally appeared. Gattuso made a direct pass from the front, and Zambrotta cut in from the outside of the penalty area and shot a long shot. It was full of power and good accuracy, but it was too high.
"Spring Butt" Julio jumped a little and ignored it.
A few minutes later, Ibrahimovic made a comeback and once again dribbled the ball to the goal and shot. Unfortunately, although his footwork was very good, his awareness and vision were good, his frequency was a bit slow, so he was still beaten by Abbiati, who was on guard.
Go outside.
One minute later, AC Milan attacked the goal. Zambrotta, who had just completed his first shot, appeared again, but after attracting attention, he crossed Kaká. Kaká made a decisive long shot, but was blocked by Matera.
Out, Pato grabbed the first point and then shot a follow-up shot, but was blocked by Burdisso.
The fierce offensive and defensive battle gave the fans no time to curse, and Inter Milan's defense was indeed much tougher and more orderly. However, Inter Milan's forward line, Ibrahimovic and Quaresma were both slow, and they were waiting for the same tough attack.
There was nothing the AC Milan defense could do for a while.
What about Wang Ai? After his performance in the first 5 minutes, he stopped attacking the goal. Instead, he helped his teammates in the midfield and frontcourt to support and pass the ball. After AC Milan gradually got into shape, Wang Ai felt that the time was ripe, so he watched secretly.
A glance at Zanetti.
The captain understands it well. He is so good at life. Even if he is a bit nagging, Wang Ai is happy to associate with him. Over time, the tacit understanding of cooperation on and off the field has made Zanetti feel connected.
In the 22nd minute of the game, it was Zanetti who made a surprise move to the right. After passing Cambiasso many times to attract enough attention, he turned over and sent a kick to Wang Ai in the corner of the penalty area on the left.
Wang Ai moved laterally in front of the goal and used high-frequency running to create shooting opportunities.
Unexpectedly, Maldini, who had been passed, almost hugged Wang Ai from behind, which forced Wang Ai to fall to the ground and stab him in the end, failing in vain.
Wang Ai did not wait for the referee's whistle, stood up from the turf, and left with a sullen face without even looking at the meritorious captain opposite.
