2:0, this is the score at the end of the first half.
During the intermission, Brazilian superstar Ronaldo, who had just retired for a year, was interviewed by the TV station.
This "alien" who once played for both Milan teams commented on the first half of the game.
"Judging from the performance of the two teams tonight, I feel that AC Milan is more than one level higher than Inter Milan."
Ronaldo's conclusion surprised media reporters.
After all, the top three in the north have been regarded as the first echelon of Serie A for a long time, and basically every year the championship competition takes place between the three teams.
Even if their performance occasionally has ups and downs, they can still be regarded as teams of equal strength that win and lose each other.
But in Ronaldo's words, it seems that the current Inter Milan may only be able to reach the level of Palermo and Chievo in front of AC Milan.
Ronaldo stated his point of view very definitely.
"Even AC Milan, which won the championship last season, I would not say such a thing."
"Last year, Inter Milan finished second and was beaten twice against AC Milan, but the content of the game was still much better than today."
"AC Milan has made great progress this year. I'm not just saying that because of their good results this year."
"Look, the formation they put up today has not been used much in previous games - it looked like a Christmas tree in the second half against Chelsea, right? But they played very freely."
"This shows that the Milan coaching staff has a very accurate grasp of the team's various tactics, and the players are also trained very well and can adapt to various situations."
"But this formation firmly suppressed Inter Milan and scored two goals. This even gave Inter Milan a feeling that it was too powerful to use."
With that said, Ronaldo promptly reminded the media reporters: "Don't forget, all AC Milan's players in this game are substitute players!"
"No one from the lineup that played against Chelsea was included in this game. This shows how confident coach Pan Yi is in directing this game."
"And even with such a substitute lineup, they can handle it so calmly when facing the entire main force of Inter Milan."
"So, it is natural that AC Milan can achieve such an unbeaten record in Serie A. The main force is strong and the substitutes are not weak. A team like this deserves good results!"
When a reporter asked Ronaldo how long AC Milan could maintain such a state, the "alien" grinned and showed his iconic front teeth:
"I can't say anything about the Champions League, but as long as Milan don't commit suicide, they will probably be able to dominate Serie A for a long time."
The reporter was shocked, especially after seeing Ronaldo's confident expression.
Although the competition in Serie A today is not as fierce as the Premier League, it can still be regarded as a group of heroes.
In addition to the top three in the north, Naples and Lazio are also increasing in strength year by year.
And original mid-range teams like Atalanta and Udinese are also on the rise.
It is not easy for a team to stand out among so many teams and win the championship, but to achieve a dominant performance is naturally even more difficult.
Ronaldo smiled and said: "Don't forget, AC Milan's current age composition."
"In their main lineup, most of the players are under the age of 25."
"And these players, in the past nearly season, we can all see their growth. For example, Kante, such as Van Dijk, such as Salah..."
"In other words, these young players have not even reached the peak of their careers!"
"It's hard to imagine what kind of fighting power these people will have when they reach their strongest state."
"Thiago Silva, Ibrahimovic and others who are slightly older are also in their prime and can also serve as leaders for the young players in the team."
"Therefore, as long as the retirement of veterans in the team, such as Seedorf, Gattuso, Inzaghi and others, is properly handled in the future, and the lineup is smoothly transitioned, AC Milan will definitely dominate Serie A!..."
After listening to Ronaldo's words, the reporters also nodded.
Indeed, most players peak between the ages of 23-25.
But many of the young players in Milan's team are just in their early 20s.
This shows that they will continue to make progress.
As players continue to improve, so does the entire team.
With the correct coaching guidance and tactics, such progress is not even a simple superposition of each player's values, but will achieve the effect of 1 1 greater than 2.
That is to say, there will be a chemical reaction between the players and the cooperation will be better.
Especially if this group of players can play together for a long time, the relationship between them will be further deepened, and extraordinary tacit understanding and trust will be cultivated.
It is very rare to be able to gather a bunch of young talents and let them grow together, but once it is achieved, its power is unstoppable.
This is true for Manchester United’s Class 92, and it is also true for Barcelona’s Dream Team Three.
"You can't win anything with a bunch of kids!"
Once you say this, expect a slap in the face.
"Of course, in addition to the players, the stability of the coaching staff is also very important." Ronaldo added, "Otherwise, the players would have had a hard time adapting, understanding and integrating the coaching staff's football philosophy and applying it on the field. As a result, the coach was changed.
Everything has to start over again, which will be a fatal blow to the stability of the team."
The reporter said: "You shouldn't worry about this. With such good results this year, head coach Allegri will definitely stay on the team."
"But what about other coaches?" Ronaldo looked at reporters with a smile, "Milan's current situation is not entirely due to the head coach alone."
"Oh, you mean Pan Yi." The reporter suddenly realized, "Indeed, there are rumors that several clubs have contacted him. There is even Real Madrid among them... It seems that he may not stay in Milan next season. . ”
Ronaldo nodded: "You might say, just leaving an assistant coach, how much impact will it have on the team? But if you compare Milan's performance before and after coach Pan Yi came, you might not say that. ”
The reporter also nodded: "Today's game is under full command of Pan Yi. Although I don't know the ball as well as you, but I can lead Inter Milan with a full substitute lineup. I must have two brushes."
"And other clubs are not blind or stupid." Ronaldo added, "If they hadn't seen Pan Yi's ability, there wouldn't be so many people flocking to him."
At the end of the interview, Ronaldo smiled confidently:
"Just watch, I believe no matter which team he goes to, he will eventually shock all of us!"
