The Prince of Inter Milan starts with Brother Xiaosa

Chapter 153 The Clown
  The importance and significance of the Italian National Derby naturally need no introduction.

Unfortunately, the Turin Olympic Stadium rented by Juventus has limited seats, and only 25,000 spectators were able to enter.

Some fans of the two teams who had not bought tickets refused to leave for a long time and gathered outside the stadium. Others had no choice but to go back to their homes, or else go to the bar to watch the game while drinking with friends.

In the away game against Juventus, Mourinho still arranged Inter Milan's strongest lineup of four, three and three.

Pandev, Milito and Eto'o partnered up front.

Leo played as a single attacking midfielder, with Zanetti and Cambiasso behind him.

Left back Chivu, right back Maicon, center backs Samuel and Lucio played together, and the goalkeeper was Cesar.

For Juventus, Del Piero, Melo and Grosso returned to the starting lineup, Camoranesi took turns as a substitute, and Trezeguet also sat on the bench after recovering from a leg injury.

Chiellini, who suffered a broken nose, appeared today wearing a protective mask.

"Are you sick?"

Before the game started, Leo frowned and looked at the home team fans setting off fireworks in the stands.

Thick smoke filled the sky above the stadium, not only affecting the sight but also accompanied by a strong smell of gunpowder.

Well, this is real gunpowder, nothing fake.

Zanetti smiled and patted Leo on the shoulder.

"Don't worry, the smoke will dissipate after a while, they did it on purpose."

The captain of Inter Milan is well-informed and experienced in the game. There is nothing he has not seen before.

He was worried that Leo would be affected because he was too young, so he came over to say a few words before the game started.

Leo nodded. Of course he wouldn't be affected by this interference, but he did feel a little unhappy.

But this is actually part of the football game and cannot be separated.

The Bianconeri, who are playing at home, immediately launched an offensive after the whistle sounded at the start of the game.

They want to get the start!

Inter Milan is aware of their opponents' intentions, and of course they will not let them succeed easily.

Brazilian midfielder Diego dribbled past Cambiasso's defense and inserted it into the penalty area!
  Juventus captain Del Piero's curved shot from the left side of the penalty area missed the far post!

Soon the home team made a comeback, and Amauri stopped the ball with his shoulder in the frontcourt to Sissoko!
  Then Sissoko volleyed and kicked the goal under Samuel's defense. Inter goalkeeper Cesar easily confiscated the ball.

Inter Milan fans were almost entertained because it was the defensive player's footwork.

Juventini was also wondering if Sissoko should not run to the front and embarrass himself.

On the contrary, Sissoko didn't think it was a big deal to miss the shot and complained to referee Sakani for a defensive foul by the visiting team's centre-back, but got no response and returned to the defensive position angrily.

A minute later, Leo made a direct pass, and Milito fell in the home team's penalty area under Melo's close defense. The referee also did not give a penalty kick.

It doesn't matter if the penalty scale is loose, as long as there are no double standards.

The home team counterattacked quickly, and Marchisio's long shot from outside the penalty area was blocked by the defender.

Diego took a corner kick from the left, and Cannavaro's back-heel shot was caught by Cesar.

Bigfoot drives to the frontcourt, and Leo breaks away from the defense in the middle and distributes the ball.

Milito broke through from the right and passed a low pass in front of the goal, but Caceres destroyed the ball out of the baseline before Eto'o.

Inter Milan took a corner kick from the right. Samuel turned over and fell to the ground under the pull of Cannavaro, but was also ignored by Sakani.

Okay, Leo now understands that whether the referee is really blind or pretending to be blind today, he is mainly talking about being blind.

It turns out that referees are the same in every country.

Under Sakani's indulgence, the players of both teams became more and more active on the court.

Leo got the ball in the frontcourt, and Melo went up and made a flying tackle that fell to the ground and flashed his spikes.

That is to say, Leo reacted quickly enough and quickly spiked the ball in a different direction to avoid it.

Then Leo continued to advance with the ball while glancing at the referee.

Sakani remained indifferent to Melo's fierce tackle.

The Brazilian thinks he has a good grasp of the referee's standards. Isn't this just right for him?

Melo smiled at me, "Kid, just wait, there will be something nice for you later."

Leo acted as if he didn't hear it and sent a diagonal pass to the left. Pandev dunked past Cáceres and knocked in front of the door. Milito's shot from the center missed due to the interference of Cannavaro.

In the 20th minute, Samuel knocked down Del Piero with the ball from behind near the sideline.

The referee called a foul and awarded the home team a well-placed free kick.

Diego's free kick from the right side was passed diagonally into the penalty area, and Chiellini headed the ball in front of the goal!
  The ball deflected when it hit Del Piero and obviously changed its path after landing!

Cesar made a move in advance but found that the path of the ball had changed. He tried hard to touch the ball with one palm but still could not stop the ball from slowly rolling into the net!

One to zero!

Juventus, playing at home, scored the first goal!
  Mourinho expressed dissatisfaction with the foul call that led to the free kick, and the madman applauded the referee.

Unfortunately, the referee Sakani, whose standards were looser than his mother's belt, broke the defense. He showed Mourinho a red card and sent him off!

"It's so funny. This seems to be the first time he has played a card in this game, right? Why don't you pretend to be blind and pretend you can't see it?"

If he hadn't been thinking about the game, Leo might have gone over to help the head coach and applaud the referee's "wise decision".

Two minutes later, Caceres was very dissatisfied after being tackled by Chivu after assisting in the frontcourt, and he viciously refused to accept the opponent's apology.

Chivu was still good-tempered, but he just pulled Caceres' hair and did not punch him twice.

The captains of both teams, Del Piero and Zanetti, rushed to quell the dispute, and Chivu received a yellow card. Melo then uprooted Cambiaso and also received a yellow card.

"It turns out he's not really blind, he can also play cards, so why did he pretend to be dead before?"

Sometimes when you encounter such idiotic referees, fans get angry just watching the game, let alone the players who suffer injustice on the field.

Understand and respect, Leo is already holding back his anger.

In the 26th minute, Maicon made a pass from the right, and Leo received a pass from his teammate in the frontcourt.

Melo, who was carrying a yellow card, didn't have a long memory. After Leo had already gotten rid of him two positions, he still flew forward and made a tackle.

Leo is not used to this guy either. Seeing him look like that is not a good thing.

He jumped up to avoid Melo's tackle, but because the opponent raised his foot too high, Leo was still kicked.

Leo lost his balance and fell to the grass in pain.

This is what happened as seen by all viewers.

So they were puzzled as to why "Crime Murderer" Mello was wailing louder.

Doctors from both teams rushed in to check.

Of course, Leo was fine and limped to his feet with the help of the team doctor.

Melo was taken off the field on a stretcher.

"Unjust is doomed to destruction."

Leo sneered in his heart as he looked at Mello who had been put off by him.

He couldn't seem to remember which number it was, and he didn't know why it was so difficult for him to play football well. He always encountered this kind of creature that took pleasure in hurting people with malicious intent.

He is not strong enough to make fouls, so he can rely on the so-called fierce defense to gain a foothold. Leo is not some sissy team who does not want his opponents to have a little physical confrontation.

But the action of deliberately hurting someone is different. Some players just go for the useless person, and they are not ashamed but proud of it.

Then don't blame others for treating others in their own way.

Fortunately, Leo is never afraid of them in this regard, and Leo is very smart, he is an innocent victim every time.

Moreover, Leo's little moves were very subtle. Even if someone slowed down the camera a hundred times, the opponent would have fouled Leo first.

Leo just accidentally stepped on the opponent when he lost control of his body and fell.

All we can say is that the other party deserves what he deserves, and it is a matter of karma.

Melo was injured and came off the field, and the Juventus head coach could only ask Poulsen to go to the sidelines to warm up and come on as a substitute.

The Dane was hurriedly replaced before he could warm up enough.

Although Melo suffered retribution and was "taken" off the field by Leo, Inter Milan is still trailing 0-1.

Next, Leo naturally continued to organize the offense and helped the visiting team equalize the score first.

Just after one minute, Leo made a direct pass from the frontcourt, and Eto'o had no choice but to hit back after being blocked when crossing the penalty area.

After receiving the ball, Leo rushed into the penalty area, dunked past Chiellini who came forward to press, and hit a low shot with his right foot against the right post and into the near corner of the goal!

Buffon's vision was disturbed by Milito and he was unable to make a save immediately. When he reacted and fell to the ground to reach the ball, it was too late.

One to one!

The Nerazzurri quickly equalized the score!
  After scoring the goal, Leo ran all the way to the stands where fans of the visiting team gathered. He waved his arms vigorously and ignited the passion of all the Nerazzurri present.

What followed was his trademark celebration of scoring a goal with a bow and an arrow.

"Leo!"

"Leo!"

"One more!"

Although it is an away game, although there are not many people, the limited number of Inter Milan fans have completely overwhelmed Juventini at this moment.

First, a player was injured and had to be replaced, and then the opponent equalized the score. The situation on the field changed subtly without realizing it.

As the captain, Prince Zebra stepped forward to stabilize the morale of the army, and Juventus kicked off.

Not long after Poulsen came on as a substitute, he almost lost the ball when facing Inter Milan's defenders, but luckily he passed the ball in time.

Diego's direct pass, Del Piero was about to break through the defense and form a single opportunity.

Samuel's tactical foul knocked the Juventus captain down outside the penalty area and away from the goal.

However, as a price, the Inter Milan central defender also received a yellow card.

The supporters of the home team saw the crisis and cheered for the Bianconeri.

A huge TIFO appeared in the stands. A clown with red hair and a red mouth was very conspicuous. The clown wore a blue and black arrow-striped shirt with a huge 1908 (the year Inter Milan was founded) written on the chest.

Obviously, this clown is referring to Inter Milan.

In the picture, the clown is putting a Serie A championship trophy into his pocket.

Although it was not stated clearly, the meaning was clear. Juventus fans were saying that Inter Milan was the clown who stole their championship trophy.

Seeing this scene, Nerazzurri was already thinking about how to taunt the opponent after returning to the home court.

Is it "We have never played in Serie B" or "We have never cheated to win the championship"?
  In stoppage time, Grosso counterattacked from the left and took the ball to the frontcourt, and Diego passed through the middle.

Del Piero broke into the right side of the penalty area and volleyed with his right foot but was confiscated by Cesar.

At the end of the half, Juventus and Inter Milan were temporarily tied at one to one.
