The Prince of Inter Milan starts with Brother Xiaosa

Chapter 225 Beat Juventus Easily
  On October 10rd, the highlight of the sixth round of Serie A, Inter Milan faced off against the Bianconeri Juventus at home at Meazza!
  Compared with Inter Milan, which has improved its momentum after the coaching change and has steadily climbed up the standings and returned to the forefront, Juventus has two draws and two losses in the first six rounds and is currently only ranked ninth.

Therefore, before the game, it was generally believed that the Bianconeri would not cause too much trouble to the defending champion on the road.

Cesar and Lucio, who were injured in the Champions League match in midweek, are both fine. Zanetti, Samuel and Pandev continue to be injured.

Inter Milan's starting lineup in this round is exactly the same as the previous game, but Milito recovered from injury and was selected as a substitute on the roster.

For Juventus, Delneri made relatively large adjustments to the starting lineup.

Aquilani returned to the starting lineup, Marchisio served as a full midfielder, and Pepe appeared on the bench.

On the front line, Iaquinta and Quagliarella played together, with Del Piero as a substitute.

Amauri was originally a starting player, but suddenly felt unwell during the warm-up and was temporarily excluded from the squad.

It is also worth mentioning that Bianconeri coach Del Neri has ushered in his 300th Serie A game.

In comparison to his opponent today, Inter Milan's head coach Leonardo has very little coaching experience.

Juventus took the lead in the first half, and Aquilani's long-range shot was blocked by Inter Milan defender Bonucci!

Delneri looked with regret at Bonucci, who played brilliantly in defense.

Bonucci originally had the opportunity to go to Juventus to partner with Chiellini as a central defender, but it was a pity that he failed to do so in the end.

It is difficult for Delneri to be satisfied with Lerottaglie's performance. If he is not dismissed by the winter break, he will definitely ask the club for reinforcements at the central defender position.

Coutinho and Biabiani can't be counted on in Leo's heart. He can only choose to seek cooperation with Eto'o.

In the fifth minute, Leo had a fierce physical confrontation with Marchisio in the frontcourt and won, then distributed the ball to the wing.

Eto'on cut past the defender and fired a right-footed volley that was blocked by Chiellini.

Aquilani took the ball, and Iaquinta's shot in front of the goal missed the right post.

Then Cambiaso took a long shot from outside the edge of the penalty area and was caught by Juventus goalkeeper Storari.

Leo looked at the Italian in front of the Bianconeri goal thoughtfully.

This summer, Juventus spent 4.5 million euros to buy Storari from AC Milan, naturally to serve as a substitute for Buffon.

After Buffon's surgery, it will still be some time before he can fully recover and return to the game.

During this period, Storari can naturally only be the goalkeeper of Juventus.

As we all know, being Buffon's substitute is listed as one of the four major hardships in football. It is really not easy for Storari to have so many playing opportunities.

But if the goalkeeper is really good enough, who would be willing to be a substitute.

Thinking of this, Leo had an idea in his mind.

In the 12th minute of the game, Coutinho received Leo's diagonal pass from the left and cut inside with the ball!

Griguera fouled Coutinho and the referee Luca Banti showed the first yellow card of the game.

Inter Milan got a free kick from a good position.

Leo grinned at Storari, making the Italian veteran a little flustered.

While waiting for the wall to line up, Leo stood in front of the free throw position and silently calculated the distance and angle.

Storari stared at Leo with a smile on his face as if facing a formidable enemy.

Because he really didn't understand what the other person was laughing at.

The referee blew the whistle and Leo moved!

Starting, running, and swinging his legs, Leo's movements are all done in one go!
  Leo's free kick drew a beautiful arc over Meazza, bypassing the wall and Storari!
  "Shh!"

The ball crashed into the net!

Perfect free kick to score directly!

Inter Milan leads 1-0!

The whole stadium at Meazza is in a state of excitement!
  The die-hard Nerazzurri fans shouted Leo's name excitedly!
  And Leo, who scored a direct free kick, didn't celebrate it as if it was a trivial matter, just waved his hand indifferently.

The Bianconeri, who were lagging behind, stepped up their attack.

Quagliarella hit the ball with his back from the left, Krasic stopped the ball on his chest outside the penalty area and passed Lucio, then volleyed with his right foot and missed the near post!

A minute later, Krasic broke into the right side of the penalty area and changed lanes to get out of the way of Chivu and then shot low from a small angle!

The ball was deflected by Cesar's fingertips and missed the far post. Iaquinta, who was outflanking from behind, almost scooped it!
  Juventus took a corner kick from the left, and Chiellini's header went over the crossbar.

Biabiani injured his right leg during the scramble and went to the sidelines for treatment with the support of the team doctor.

Then Lucio was tripped by Aquilani and fell to the ground in pain.

Leonardo felt nervous, but he must not let anyone get hurt again!

This game is not guaranteed to be won yet, and it would be difficult to say if they were forced to make substitutions at this time.

It's a pity that the coach was right. Biabiani was injured and couldn't hold on. Milito came on as an emergency substitute.

Juventus dropped a free kick into the penalty area. Cesar made a mistake in clearing the ball. Krasic intercepted the ball and volleyed into the penalty area. The ball was blocked by Bonucci with his body!
  Inter Milan counterattacked quickly, and Leo made a direct pass in the counterattack!
  Milito received the ball and volleyed sideways and missed the goal.

It seems that Milito still needs time to find his condition.

Maicon made a pass from the right, and the Juventus defender was not far away from the rescue. Cambiasso fired an angry shot from the outside and flew into the stands. Not long after, Eto'o passed two people on the left and crossed into the penalty area, but Milito stopped the ball before the penalty spot and was intercepted, failing to complete the shot.

Milito made a breakthrough pass from the right, and Coutinho followed up with a sweeping shot from behind.

After Milito came on as a substitute, although he did not score a goal, Inter Milan's offense was indeed much more organized than before.

After all, players like Biabiani who only have speed, no skills and no brains are still incomparable with Milito.

Even if Milito is not in his best condition and has poor shooting skills, he can still be used as an offensive fulcrum to cooperate with his teammates.

Biabiani, besides dribbling the ball until it was intercepted, would end Inter Milan's offense with an outrageous cross or a shot.

The two are completely different players.

Seeing that the home team's offense has improved, Juventus is a little anxious.

Quagliarella's instep went straight to the right side of the penalty area. Krasic broke through from the right and passed low to the middle. Iaquinta scored from close range!
  But before the visiting team players had time to celebrate, the referee's whistle sounded.

The linesman has raised his flag. The ball was offside and the goal was invalid.

Krasic was very dissatisfied and went to the referee Luca Banti for an argument and was given a yellow card.

Nerazzurri in the stands applauded the referee.

When Mourinho was still there, it was really rare for Inter Milan to receive fair and just penalties.

Even at home.

Although this season is still being targeted overtly or covertly, it is relatively acceptable.

In other words, some people realized that the simple and crude method last season didn't work. It didn't work at all and instead made them look like clowns.

After the start of the new season, they thought of some other methods. After all, Inter Milan can't control other people's games, right?

In stoppage time, Eto'o's low shot from the edge of the left penalty area was caught by Storari.

Immediately afterwards, Eto'o passed the ball past Juventus full-back De Cele from the wing, and Milito's volley shot from behind was not on target.

Leo noticed that Eto'o continued his heroic form in the previous game, and thought that he could pass more passes to him in the second half.

At the end of the first half, Inter Milan temporarily led 1-0.

At the beginning of the second half, Juventus made substitution adjustments. Marco Motta replaced De Cele, and Grigra switched to the left.

The Bianconeri, who were lagging behind, launched an attack first.

Quagliarella stopped the ball outside the penalty area and volleyed the ball, which was firmly received by Cesar.

Then Leo made a long pass from the backcourt, Milito responded, and Cambiaso came from a similar position and shot a low shot wide of the right post!
  When the visiting team had a chance to counterattack, Krasic's powerful volley from a long distance to the front of the penalty area was blocked by Cesar.

Eto'o immediately hit back. He ran 50 meters down the wing and broke through three defensive players in a row. Finally, Marco Motta tackled him from behind.

The referee gave Motta a yellow card.

Leo's free kick was dropped into the penalty area. Maicon jumped high in front of the goal and grabbed the header to attack the goal. Juventus goalkeeper Storari held the ball firmly in front of the goal line!
  Melo made a direct pass, Quagliarella turned around and volleyed with his right foot from the penalty area, and the ball was slightly higher.

Both teams wanted to score, so the second half of the game was not conservative.

Although no goals have been scored yet, it is not boring.

In the 64th minute, Del Piero came on as a substitute and replaced Iaquinta.

Chivu's midfielder made a pass error, Del Piero intercepted the ball and passed it through, and Quagliarella broke into the penalty area alone!

But his push shot was saved by goalkeeper Cesar!
  Cambiaso made a pass, and Milito turned offside and faced the goalkeeper. He stopped the ball with his right foot and quickly pushed the ball into the far corner of the goal. The ball missed the goal post!

Both sides kept attacking, but could not score a goal.

Even fans of both teams feel that this game may end with the current score.

Del Piero made a low pass from the left, Melo made a pass with the outside of his instep, and Quagliarella volleyed past the crossbar from the edge of the penalty area!

Cesar quickly took the goal kick, Milito headed back, and Leo took the ball in the middle and advanced!

A great opportunity for Inter Milan’s top four in the frontcourt!

Chiellini, who was struggling to catch up, lost his center of gravity and nearly fell in front of his own penalty area.

And Leo has calmly dribbled the ball to the top of the penalty area.

Storari looked at the three Inter Milan forwards who had broken into the penalty area and stayed in front of the goal with a little hesitation.

What choice will Leo make?
  He can attack the goal himself or pass it to his teammates in the penalty area.

Storari looked left and right, trying to calm down.

Without waiting for the Juventus players behind him to return to defense, Leo accurately delivered a low pass to Eto'o!
  Compared to Milito, who just returned from injury today, Eto'o, who scored three goals in the last game, is more worthy of Leo's trust.

Now it remains to be seen whether the Cameroonians will live up to Leo's trust.

Eto'o was unmarked on the right side of the penalty area and made a slight adjustment with his right foot to volley into the near corner of the goal!
  Storari struggled to the ground to save but to no avail!
  The ball is in!
  Two to zero!
  Inter Milan seals the victory!

In the 93rd minute, Del Piero took a long shot from a position far away from the penalty area and missed the target.

At the end of the game, Inter Milan defeated Juventus 2-0 and won the Italian national derby!
