Derby - a word derived from horse racing, has completely become synonymous with intra-city battles. Whether it is a well-known giant or an unknown mid-range and lower-tier team, there will be no slack when it comes to derby. The reason is
It's very simple. Since it's a derby, it means it's from the same city. For both sides in the same city, it's a deeper level of competition, competing for territory, popularity, and fans... All of this is related to the development of the entire team.
key!
The Milan derby can be called the highest-level intra-city derby in the world - these two teams are world-famous giants themselves, often for a city, although a city often has several top teams, but like this
It is quite rare for two wealthy families to live in the same city...
Except for the Milan duo, other top clubs basically have only one team in a city. For example, Manchester only has Manchester United. Manchester City has always been considered a grassroots team. Everton’s giants are Liverpool and Everton.
In terms of performance, it is far from being compared with this team that was founded later than itself. Munich 1860 seems so insignificant in front of Bayern. Atletico Madrid cannot compare with Real Madrid's heritage. The Spaniard can only occasionally disgust Barcelona.
…
Even if Arsenal and Chelsea are both in London, you must know that London is very big, and before Abramovich took over, Chelsea could not be regarded as a top team. Even under the leadership of Bates, they were only a spoiler at best.
, rather than a team that can compete for the championship.
Only the Milan Derby has such high appeal.
Naturally, countless people are looking forward to this kind of game. However, the two Milan derbies last season were uneventful, with two games zero to zero. Although the games were fierce and the players from both sides worked hard, however
From a process perspective, there is nothing exciting about it.
Before the start of this game, many people also had such concerns. Inter Milan is now one point ahead of AC Milan. They are still unbeaten and have only four games left to catch up with the unbeaten record set by AC Milan.
Above, with Dick's characteristics, he might be able to hold on to a draw and then hit the record to boost his morale, so that he can catch up with Juventus in the second half of the season - this is not impossible, and in the future
As long as Inter Milan does not lose too many points to its competitors, the possibility of grabbing points after the Champions League resumes will be greater than that of Juventus, whose bench is thin and whose average age is not small.
many.
The situation Juventus is facing now is actually the same. Their defense is also relatively old. Thuram himself is already quite old, Kovac is also a veteran, and the pair of Emerson and Vieira
The defensive midfielders are all in their thirties, and Inter Milan, with the youngest average age, can definitely strike from behind.
However, after the game started, such worries disappeared. Although Inter Milan did not launch a large-scale attack regardless of everything at the beginning, they appeared to be proactive from the beginning and started to press AC Milan in the midfield!
The midfielders of both sides can be said to be midfielders with excellent skills and running ability. From a certain point of view, the midfielders of both sides are very similar. AC Milan has the master of deep dispatch, Pirlo, and Inter Milan also has the rookie Sneijder.
, AC Milan's midfield defense mainly relies on Gattuso's crazy running. Inter Milan's Mascherano is also a defensive midfielder who can run. At the same time, Seedorf and Stankovic are both the kind of running players.
Midfielders with good dynamic ability also have excellent long-range shots, but Seedorf has stronger organizational skills and Stankovic runs more diligently. The only big difference is Kaká and Figo. Kaká
His organization is average, his personal assault ability and long-range shooting ability are strong, while Figo is experienced and has excellent passing and assisting abilities.
It is also similar on the front line. In Inter Milan, Toni is at the front, Adriano is behind, in AC Milan, Gilardino is at the front, and Shevchenko is running back and forth...
In the defense, Inter Milan is a combination of four old players, and AC Milan's defense is also young. This is because Maldini was injured. Otherwise, the average age may not be much younger than Inter Milan. In addition, the goalkeepers of both sides are both.
Brazilians...these derby opponents are indeed very similar.
Dick's tactics in this game are not to blindly attack. The reason is very simple. Both Kaká and Shevchenko need space to dribble the ball, especially Kaká. If it is a positional battle, Kaká will
In fact, his ability is not particularly strong because he lacks organizational skills and delicate breakthrough footwork. He is called a modern midfielder because of his strong running ability and full strength, which is very different from the traditional midfielder.
The difference is that if his space is compressed, his performance will not be very good, but if he is given enough space, the lethality he can exert will be astonishing!
Therefore, Dick does not plan to leave too big a gap in the backcourt in this game. When there is a gap in the backcourt, it must be when Inter Milan is attacking.
The two sides started fighting in the midfield, and the level of fighting was naturally quite fierce. Only two minutes into the game, Tony collided with Kaladze while fighting for the top in the frontcourt. Kaladze's brow bone was cut open, and he was knocked out.
Forced to leave the field for treatment, Tony was fine.
There was blood at the beginning, which naturally meant that this game would not be too peaceful - soon, Gattuso knocked down Figo in the midfield, which attracted a burst of angry curses from the Inter Milan fans in the stands.
At the same time, he also earned himself a warning from the referee.
These two fouls are just a microcosm of the fighting between the two sides, but both sides have excellent offensive capabilities. Inter Milan has now scored an astonishing fifty-six goals in fourteen rounds, averaging four goals per game.
, this kind of offensive power can be called the best in Europe, and AC Milan is actually not bad either. They have scored 30 goals in 14 games, averaging more than two goals per game, which is also top-notch in Europe.
, it’s just that Inter Milan’s scoring ability this season is too terrible, causing people to think that their scoring ability is average...
In the seventh minute, Inter Milan took the lead in completing a shot. Figo took the ball from the wing. Adriano and Toni's running in the penalty area attracted the opponent's attention, but he turned around and passed the ball to the player who came up.
Sneijder, Sneijder sent a short pass. After receiving the ball, Stankovic immediately shot a long shot from the front of the penalty area. The ball was slightly higher than the crossbar.
Gattuso's timely pressing affected Stankovic's shot - Stankovic's long-range shot is very good, but he also has a problem with long-range shots, that is, his posture is too wide, and he is often easily attacked by others.
Interference, his top long-range shots are basically scored without any defense...
Inter Milan took the lead to complete a shot, and AC Milan was not to be outdone. Soon, they completed a counterattack. Kaká scored the ball during the counterattack. Seedorf got the ball and went straight into the frontcourt. Gilardino received the ball.
Immediately after the ball was passed, he turned around and shot. Cesar flew to save the ball and suppressed it.
Cesar started the attack by throwing the ball, and the ball was thrown directly to the feet of Figo who was retreating. Figo received the ball and turned around. When Gattuso rushed over aggressively, he had already kicked off and passed the ball to Adria in front.
No, Adriano distributed it to Stankovic who came in from the left. Stankovic took two steps and then crossed the ball. Tony still grabbed the first place under the attack of Stam and Nesta.
The ball landed on the spot, but unfortunately he was unable to use the force due to interference. The ball flew weakly towards the goal, and was easily caught by Dida who was attacking.
In the twelfth minute, Inter Milan struck again. Stankovic made a pass from the wing. Adriano, who was inserted in the back row, stopped the ball on his chest at the back point and immediately volleyed. The ball went over the crossbar.
To Adriano's great regret, it was a good opportunity just now, but he was a little anxious when he shot, so he didn't hit the spot.
"Why are you so anxious, kid? Isn't it just a Milan derby? What's there to be nervous about?"
Dick muttered in the audience, but when his voice reached the ears of the others, they were all speechless - Why can't you be nervous about the Milan Derby? It's normal to be nervous in such an important game, right...
However, two consecutive attacks created opportunities and began to put a certain amount of pressure on AC Milan's players - after attacking back and forth after the opening, Inter Milan began to continuously create shots, forming a pressure bit by bit.
, how can we not put them under pressure?
Ancelotti frowned. Even if Inter Milan is in good shape and AC Milan is in good shape, how could they be suppressed from the beginning? If the strength gap between the two sides is so big, then this game will be
There is no starting point at all. If your strength is not as good as your opponent's and your physical fitness is not as good as your opponent's, then how can you still fight?
But in fact, this kind of thing is impossible. AC Milan is also a top-class club. The team is full of stars and the cooperation is not unfamiliar. How could it be pulled down by Inter Milan so much? The only reason is...
Soon, Ancelotti saw what caused such a result.
That is, physical fitness.
Because he knows that his team's physical fitness is average, at least not in the best condition, Ancelotti's tactics are mainly to pester the opponent, and try to distribute the physical fitness evenly, so as not to overwhelm Inter Milan in the second half of the game.
Find opportunities - Inter Milan's physical advantage can be seen in the game against Juventus. In the second half, they almost used crazy running to bring down Juventus. Dick's team-building ideas were reflected in such a game.
It is particularly obvious that most of the team are players with excellent physical fitness and are very good at rotation. This gives Inter Milan a physical advantage in any game. Against weak teams, it is a violent opening attack. After gaining the advantage, it gradually
To expand, against strong teams it is a desperate struggle in the first half, and any counterattack that relies on physical strength in the second half - whether against Juventus or Chelsea, is the same idea.
Therefore, Ancelotti also made proper arrangements for this point. However, Inter Milan started a lot of running instead of entanglement from the very beginning. Under such running, they deliberately saved and distributed their physical energy well.
AC Milan is naturally a little overwhelmed. If you run 100 meters, others will run 150 meters. Accumulated, that is a huge advantage!
Now Ancelotti is faced with two situations. One is to ask the players to increase their running to offset this advantage. However, it is easy for the players' performance to decline soon after the start of the second half due to the decline in physical fitness - maybe
That's what Dick wanted him to do.
Another way is to keep it unchanged for now and keep playing like this - you must know that Inter Milan's players will also consume a lot of physical energy. If AC Milan can survive this period, then Inter Milan will next
