The Prince of Inter Milan starts with Brother Xiaosa

Chapter 259 You can enter even with your eyes closed!
  "I think you all know that now we are 24 points ahead of AC Milan and there are eight rounds left in the league. As long as we draw the next game, we can win the championship early.

And it just so happens that the opponent in the next league game is next door. This is a derby, so I don’t need to think about anything else. What I want is a victory! "

On April 2011, 4, defending champion Inter Milan ushered in the first game of the April devil schedule.

The 275th Milan Derby in history begins at San Siro. Inter Milan, currently ranked first in Serie A, plays "away" against AC Milan, the second-placed rival in the same city!

Originally, the Rossoneri could put some pressure on Inter Milan in the second position in the standings. However, due to the unstable state, they only scored one point in the first two rounds, and the gap widened.

Now AC Milan is not only unable to compete for the championship, but also has to be vigilant at all times not to let Naples behind them catch up.

Inter Milan's defense has changed slightly. Lucio's injury is recovering, but he is suspended due to accumulation of yellow cards.

Samuel is suffering from a long-term illness and we don’t know how long it will take for him to return. Chivu was also injured and missed the squad.

So today it is Bonucci and Ranocchia's centre-back partnership again, with left-back Kolarov, right-back Maicon and goalkeeper Cesar.

Pandev, Eto'o and Pazzini formed a three-point front line. Although Milito recovered from injury, he still sat on the bench.

The three midfielders are Leo, Cambiaso and Zanetti.

For AC Milan, Ibrahimovic is suspended and absent, Pirlo failed to pass the medical examination before the game, and Inzaghi is also absent due to injury.

Two Brazilians, Robinho and Pato, played together on the front line, with Italian international Cassano as a substitute.

Seedorf served as the defensive midfielder, Van Bommel, who missed the national team game due to injury, returned to play in time, and Boateng replaced Flamini.

The three of them sit in the midfield together with Gattuso.

On the back line, Zambrotta, who recovered from injury, directly entered the starting lineup to replace Antonini as left back.

Nesta and Thiago Silva partnered as central defenders, right back Abate, and goalkeeper Abbiati.

Needless to say, the popularity of the Milan Derby is nothing special. It’s nothing special for the players of the two teams, just do it!
  More than 80,000 spectators flocked to the San Siro, and a huge painting of "The Last Supper" floated in the stands.

This is a mockery of Inter Milan coach Leonardo as a traitor.

Not only that, the game had just started, and Leonardo’s face was constantly being illuminated by the laser pointer.

It can be seen that Roseneri still has a grudge against Leonardo coaching his archrival.

Especially when they saw that Leonardo led Inter Milan to achieve good results, their mood was even more difficult to describe to others.

Unable to bear it, Leonardo appealed to the fourth official on the sidelines, but the other party only said that the matter would be recorded and there was no other solution.

The helpless Brazilian had to walk back and forth on the sidelines, trying to avoid sitting in one place.

AC Milan, who played at home in the first half, took the lead.

Pato and Gattuso kicked the wall in the middle, and then Gattuso decisively drove into the penalty area!
  Robinho successfully countered offside before receiving a through ball from Pato to form a single goal. Facing the goalkeeper, he shot with his right foot but was saved by Cesar!
  Although Cesar bravely blocked the ball, Pato's right-footed low shot in front of the goal went past Ranocchia who was struggling to catch up and went into the net!

The Rossoneri scored first in less than a minute!
  Milan gets off to a fantastic start!

All the AC Milan fans cheered and celebrated wildly, as if they had already won the game.

"They must have been suppressed to death in the past few years. It's rare to see a little hope of defeating the mortal enemy and be so happy."

Temporarily behind in the score, the Nerazzurri are not panicking. They seem to have not lost to their mortal enemy for many years.

I don’t know if other people have experienced it, but Leo doesn’t seem to have any impression.

The Roseneris have long had enough of the bad days being weighed down by Inter Milan.

A minute later, Van Bommel made a pass from the front, and Robinho once again formed a single goal, but he was offside.

The game lasted for almost three minutes before the Nerazzurri players gradually found their way into the rhythm of the game.

After a quick one-two in the middle of Inter Milan, Leo sent a wonderful pass, and Pandev shot low with his left foot from outside the penalty area!
  The shot lacked power and the ball was obtained by Abbiati.

Subsequently, the home team's counterattack failed. Inter Milan stole the ball in the backcourt and Leo received the ball and advanced the ball along the middle.

The Rossoneri immediately prepared themselves, Gattuso was the first to press forward, followed closely by the Dutch strongman Van Bommel, who was exempt from the winter window.

Against Leo, Gattuso didn't dare to tackle easily. If he didn't tackle the ball, he would just let the opponent pass.

Seeing that Jiaba didn't jump in and just followed him step by step, Leo smiled.

Do you think you can stop me this way? It's a bit naive.

The continuous shaking of his upper body failed to deceive Gattuso, so Leo simply stopped entangled with the opponent and tapped his heels lightly.

After knocking the ball back to a teammate not far behind him, Leo accelerated past Gattuso.

Zanetti passed the ball back to Leo in time.

Seeing that he was about to be thrown away, Van Bommel, no matter what, made a flying tackle from Leo's side and behind!
  However, as if Leo had eyes behind his back, he turned around and avoided Van Bommel's shovel with just a slight twist.

Breaking through two defensive players in a row, Leo dribbled the ball to the outside of Milan's penalty area.

In the penalty area, Eto'o was running back and forth trying to get out of space under Thiago Silva's marking, while Pazzini was struggling with Nesta.

There was nothing he could do, Leo without hesitation shot a powerful volley with his right foot straight towards the center of the goal!

The home team's goalkeeper Abbiati was very focused. He did not dare to be careless and hit the ball out of the penalty area with both fists!
  Leo grabbed the second penalty before Boateng. He didn't even look to the left and just made an exquisite pass over the top and hit the left side of the penalty area!
  Pandev got rid of Zambrotta's defense and broke into the penalty area and followed up with a low left-foot shot straight into the near corner of the goal!

One to one!

Inter Milan didn't take much time to equalize the score!
  The two sides returned to the same starting line.

Milan kicked off, Seedorf quickly separated the side, Pato made a breakthrough pass from the left, Robinho was half a step behind and fell to the ground to tackle the ball but failed to touch the ball.

Then came the Rossoneri's attack. Abate made a pass from the right. Seedorf received the ball from behind and volleyed with his left foot but was blocked by Maicon!
  Milan players protested to the referee that Maicon raised his arm to block the ball, thinking it should be a penalty kick.

However, the referee Rizzoli believed that the distance between the two was too close and refused to award a penalty kick.

Rossoneri in the audience booed Rizzoli loudly, but the famous Italian referee was unmoved.

The game continued. Leo made a direct pass during the frontcourt breakthrough. Pazzini failed to break through Thiago Silva's defense and forced the goal slightly wide.

Gattuso broke through the middle and was brought down by Ranocchia. The Rossoneri won a free kick at the top of the penalty area.

Pato's free kick hit the goal directly on the head of teammate Van Bommel who was hidden in the wall of Inter Milan and popped out of the baseline.

Cambiasso made a diagonal pass, and Pandev's breakthrough caused Boateng's foul. The visiting team won a direct free kick on the right.

As soon as Leo stood at the penalty spot, laser pointers stabbed his eyes from multiple directions in the stands.

Leo pointed to the stands and protested to the referee, but Rizzoli said there was nothing he could do.

Very helpless, Leo could only squint his eyes and barely glance at the layout of the opponent's wall and the goalkeeper's position.

The referee's whistle blew, and Leo closed his eyes under the shocked eyes of tens of thousands of people in the audience.

Although the laser pointer shining on his face still had some impact, it was better than being stabbed almost blind with his eyes open.

The situation in front of him replayed in his mind. Leo closed his eyes and swung his right leg with his right foot and hit the middle of the ball hard!

I have never seen anyone play football with their eyes closed, not to mention the AC Milan players on the field, and even Leo's teammates were stunned.

The Rossoneri players in the wall were shocked and did not forget to jump to block Leo's free kick.

However, Leo's direct free kick was of extremely high quality!

A moving arc flew over the top of the wall and quickly began to fall. Abbiati moved his steps to the right and flew to save!

The ball passed the fingertips of the Milan goalkeeper and went into the upper right corner of the goal!
  The ball is in!
  Two to one!

Leo's free kick scores directly!

The audience at the scene was all shocked and speechless, and the media reporters could not wait until the end of the game to interview Leo properly.

After scoring in the Milan derby, Leo ran to the stands where fans of the away team gathered to skate and kneel passionately.

The shouts erupted by the few Nerazzurri at the San Siro at this moment actually overwhelmed the fans of their rivals who were several times the number.

After not leading for more than a few minutes, Inter Milan scored two goals to overtake the score. Allegri looked unhappy.

The AC Milan coach stood on the sidelines and shouted loudly to the court, asking the players to strengthen their offense.

Pato broke through with the ball, Ranocchia made a mistake in the penalty area, Boateng intercepted the ball and fired an angry shot with his right foot from outside the arc of the penalty area, but Cesar flew to block it!

The Rossoneri took a corner kick from the right, and Nesta's sideways volley in front of the goal hit Maicon in the face!
  Seedorf's follow-up shot from the small penalty area went over the crossbar.

Inter Milan counterattacked quickly. Pazzini received Leo's precise through ball on the right, got rid of Zambrotta's defense and broke into the penalty area!
  Facing Abbiati Pazzini on the edge of the small penalty area, he hesitated and chose to shoot with his left foot!

Unfortunately, the home team's goalkeeper was already prepared, and Abbiati used his body to block the ball bravely!
  Missed the opportunity to score a single goal, Pazzini was a little upset.

Inter Milan continued to attack, and Eto'o's shot was blocked by the defensive player.

Van Bommel's clearance was blocked by referee Rizzoli, and Pandev's left-footed low shot from the sideline of the penalty area missed the near post.

AC Milan immediately fought back. Boateng made a pass from the left, and Pato's low shot with his right foot in front of the penalty area was blocked by the Inter Milan defender.

For the home team's corner kick, Robinho took it from the right, and Zambrotta's long shot from the outside of the penalty area missed.

Pato then actively pressed for the ball, broke through Kolarov and entered the right side of the penalty area after stealing the ball. Ranocchia made timely defense to clear the ball.

The Nerazzurri's counterattack reached the frontcourt, and Leo knocked the ball to Pazzini.

Van Bommel made an accurate tackle, and Seedorf made a direct pass to instigate a counterattack!

Robinho dribbled the ball in and broke into the left side of the penalty area and fell to the ground when facing Bonucci's interception! Referee Rizzoli determined that the Brazilian was diving and gave him a yellow card. Robinho protested emotionally to the opponent.

However, judging from the slow-motion replay, there seemed to be no physical contact between the two, and Rizzoli's penalty was very correct.

Seeing Robinho jumping up and down with an aggrieved look on his face after being misjudged, Leo felt very funny.

The Brazilian was known throughout the football world as the "Bicycle Boy" when he debuted.

This title is indeed well-deserved. At the age of 20, Robinho was extremely skilled with his feet. He was full of aura on the court and could always contribute unexpected and wonderful performances.

However, with the brilliance of joining Real Madrid, he briefly shined at Manchester City, and was once abandoned and could only return to Brazil.

Robinho used his own personal experience to warn all gifted and talented young people that they must be self-disciplined and not indulge in the colorful world of entertainment at a young age.

In fact, whether in Real Madrid or Manchester City, the performance of the bicycle boy can only be said to be not as good as expected, and it is not particularly bad.

The main reason for being continuously abandoned is that his corrupt private life and poor self-control make him disliked by coaches and fans wherever he goes.

In addition, this talented young man who has always been held in the palm of his hand never knows how to curb his willfulness and bad temper.

Robinho earned an astonishingly high salary while playing for Manchester City, and head coach Mark Hughes even adjusted the team's tactics for him.
  But his reward was to criticize his new club for their lack of ambition and to have a motivational row with his coach simply because Hughes did not agree with Robinho returning to Brazil to celebrate his birthday.

What's even more outrageous is that Robinho later secretly returned to Brazil behind the club's back...

His arrogance directly aroused everyone's dissatisfaction, and Manchester City teammates publicly expressed that they were fed up with this annoying guy.

Compared with him, his teammate in Manchester City, the Welsh bad boy Bellamy, seems much more likable.

This summer AC Milan spent 21 million euros to recruit this "notorious" bad boy from Manchester City.

His talent is unquestionable, and his character is unsurprisingly terrible.

So far, the data of ten goals and two assists in twenty-eight league appearances looks pretty good.

But off the court, Robinho and Ronaldinho spent all day hanging out in nightclubs and bars in Milan with their Brazilian brother Pato.

Yes, it doesn't matter that they "fallen" themselves, Pato, who had a promising future, was also led astray by them.

Among other things, Ronaldinho's form declined significantly this season, and he was sold to Flamengo by Milan after only playing for half a season.

In addition to his unsatisfactory performance on the field, the reason was also the troubles off the field that made Allegri dissatisfied with Ronaldinho.

But even if Ronaldinho leaves, the Rossoneri still have Robinho and Pato on the front line, plus Cassano on the bench and Ibrahimovic who is absent today. They all seem to be players with both strength and fame. .

It's just that Leo is really confused. Does AC Milan think they are some kind of bad boy rescue agency?
  The technical level of the players is only one aspect of what kind of results a team can achieve, and the atmosphere within the team is equally important.

For a team that is not united and has internal conflicts, no matter how many big-name stars there are, it is meaningless.

Players like Robinho are very good at spoiling a whole pot of porridge.

Of course, for them, as long as they can maintain a sufficient competitive state and can score goals and contribute to the team, there is really no big problem.

Even if this club can't stay here, there should still be other teams that want him.

But once their condition begins to decline, the end will come for these people.

Teams, fans and even the media will mercilessly abandon them like old shoes, and may even spit on them again.

Leo has always believed that in addition to football standards, the character of players is also very important.

This is why "football gentlemen" like Lineker are still respected even after 20 or 30 years of retirement, and are still often invited to attend various events.

As for Ronaldinho and Robinho, it's not bad if they don't go to jail.

Leo made a direct pass in the counterattack, Eto'o was tackled by Nesta, but Rizzoli had no intention of interrupting the game.

Leo stepped forward to negotiate with Rizzoli, "This should be a foul action, right?"

The referee just pointed to his eyes, indicating that he saw clearly and did not need Leo to remind him.

Knowing that if he said more, he might anger the other party and get a yellow card, Leo had no choice but to give up.

The Rossoneri counterattacked very concisely, but after the ball reached Robinho's feet, the rhythm slowed down instantly.

Facing Maicon who was marking him, Robinho stepped on his bicycle continuously in an attempt to confuse his opponent.

Unfortunately, Maicon knew this fellow Brazilian very well and was not fooled at all, and blocked Robinho's breakthrough angle.

Without showing off, Robinho was a little dissatisfied. He could only turn around and pass the ball to the left side of the penalty area.

Pato faced the Inter Milan central defender's blockage and did not force a kick. Instead, he passed the ball to Robinho who followed up on the other side!

The cooperation between the two Brazilian forwards almost created an excellent opportunity!

But Bonucci was the first to volley the ball before Robinho took off.

In the 39th minute, there was another controversial penalty on the court.

Maicon passed from the right, Thiago Silva and Pazzini competed for the top and cleared the ball out of the baseline.

Leo took a corner kick, and Ranocchia jumped high in front of the goal with a header!
  AC Milan goalkeeper Abbiati fished out to the right on the goal line!
  The entire Inter Milan team protested to Rizzoli excitedly. They believed that the ball had crossed the goal line as a whole.

However, the referee did not whistle the penalty, and it was difficult to judge whether the ball crossed the line from multiple angles in slow motion.

When the goal was disallowed, Ranocchia was naturally the most excited. It was not easy for a central defender to score a goal.

Captain Zanetti pulled the young Italian central defender to avoid receiving a yellow card.

"So when will the goal-line technology that FIFA has been talking about for a long time start to be put into use?"

"Who knows, it probably won't be possible within ten or eight years from the time this proposal is made to its actual implementation."

At the end of the first half, the score on the field was Inter Milan temporarily leading their city rivals 2-1.

AC Milan, which was lagging behind at the start of the second half, made the first substitution, with Flamini coming off the bench to replace Gattuso.

Shortly afterwards, Inter Milan also made corresponding adjustments, and Leonardo replaced Pazzini with Milito.

Both teams stepped up their offense!

Pandev passed the ball from the left, Cambiasso headed the ball backwards, Eto'o faced the goalkeeper who was out of position in the small penalty area, and unexpectedly missed the ball!

The Nerazzurri were quickly punished for wasting their chances.

In the 53rd minute of the game, Seedorf cleverly passed the ball to the right with the instep of his left foot. Abate broke into the penalty area from the right, stopped the ball with his chest, and volleyed with his right foot from a small angle!
  Although Abbate's shot missed, Pato reacted very quickly in front of the goal line and headed the ball into the goal!
  Two to two!
  AC Milan equalized the score!
  Pato, the young Brazilian shooter, scored twice against Inter Milan!

Inter Milan's defensive players were still complaining to the referee that Pato was suspected of being offside. Leo had already gone to the goal to fish the ball out.

Leo penetrated Milan's defense and hit the back of the defender. Eto'o passed the ball forward at high speed to form a single!

Nesta had been left behind and had no choice but to commit a tactical foul at the front of the penalty area.

He kicked Eto'o on the ankle from behind and knocked him to the ground!
  Since Nesta was the last defender, the referee Rizzoli did not hesitate to take out the red card!

The Rossoneri can only fight with ten players in the next game!

Allegri immediately replaced Robinho with centre-back Papastathopoulos to keep the defense intact.

At the same time, AC Milan's formation shrank and everyone retreated, and it was almost enough to maintain a draw with one less player.

Anyway, they had no hope of winning the championship. Being able to end the winning streak of their arch-rival Inter Milan can give the fans an explanation.

But can they really get what they want?

In the 58th minute, Leo's pressing caused a mistake by the Milan central defender who had just come on as a substitute.

The ball passed back to the goalkeeper by Greek international Papastathopoulos was intercepted by Leo!

Facing Abbiati's attack, Leo didn't take any credit. He pushed the ball gently to Milito who followed up on the right!

The Argentine forward, who has suffered from repeated injuries this season, did not miss the opportunity created by Leo and calmly pushed the ball into the empty goal!

Three to two!
  Inter Milan takes the lead again!
  This time there was no even a draw, and the home team was still a little reluctant to think about it.

Despite being at a numerical disadvantage, AC Milan decided to start looking for opportunities to counterattack.

Kolarov made a low pass from the left side of the penalty area, and Eto'o shot into the lower right corner of the goal!
  But the linesman raised the flag and the ball was offside and the first goal was invalid.

Taking advantage of the opportunity when Inter Milan players surrounded the referee to protest, Milan quickly counterattacked to form a three-on-two!

Flamini stopped the ball in the middle and turned around to distribute the ball. Pato accelerated and forced Nokia and then pushed his right foot in front of the penalty spot but Cesar bravely blocked it!

In the 82nd minute of the game, Pato was replaced by Cassano amid applause.

Barbara, Bay's daughter in the stands, also stood up and applauded her boyfriend.

There is no doubt that Allegri decided to give it a try!

Three minutes later, Seedorf cleverly passed the ball to the right side of the penalty area. Cassano stopped the ball on his chest in the penalty area and was fouled by Zanetti!
  The referee points to the penalty spot! Penalty kick!
  At the same time, Zanetti received a yellow card.

Cassano took the penalty himself, and his low shot with his right foot hit the center of the goal!
  Cesar had already taken off to the right and struggled to block the ball with his legs!

Bonucci rushed to make a big save before Cassano.

The Inter goalkeeper who saved the penalty screamed to the sky, and the Nerazzurri's morale was greatly boosted!

In stoppage time, Cassano violated Ranocchia and received a yellow card.

The final score was fixed at 3-2, and Inter Milan once again won the Milan Derby!
