The Prince of Inter Milan starts with Brother Xiaosa

Chapter 267 The toad is lying on the feet
  One day ago, AC Milan, which had nothing to pursue except the Coppa Italia, won the second leg of the Coppa Italia semi-final against Palermo.

The Rossoneri are guaranteed a top four spot in the league and have long been eliminated from the European competition. Now the only championship they can strive for is this Italian domestic cup.

That is to say, as long as Inter Milan can advance to the final, no matter who of the Milan duo can win the final Italian Cup,

The Italian Super Cup held in China next season will become an exciting Milan derby.

Therefore, fans in China basically stood behind the Nerazzurri in today's game.

Except for Roma fans, almost everyone hopes that Inter Milan can advance smoothly, so that they will have the opportunity to witness the exciting Milan Derby three months later.

Inter Milan won the first leg away from home, and they have remained unbeaten at home in the Coppa Italia since 2002.

Needless to say, most people outside are optimistic that the defending champion can reach the finals again.

In this game, Inter Milan's lineup was not complete. Stankovic was absent due to injury, and Ranocchia on the back line accumulated yellow cards and was suspended.

Of course, the two of them were not the absolute main players of the team and had little impact.

Eto'o and Pazzini started as a double striker, with Milito as a substitute.

Leo leads the midfield, with Cambiasso, Zanetti and Motta behind him.

On the defensive line, Bonucci and Lucio partnered as central defenders, Kolarov and Maicon served as left and right full-backs, and Cesar was still the goalkeeper.

For the Roma team, Totti and Taddei were suspended, Borriello and Mene started, and Vucinic, who has been in mediocre form recently, served as a substitute.

In addition, Burdisso, who was "unfortunately" seriously injured in the last match against Inter Milan, was not only reimbursed for the season, but it is still difficult to say when he will recover from injury next season.

Although Roma has now defeated Juventus and squeezed into the top six of Serie A, it is expected to get a qualification to play in the Europa League next season.

But if they have the opportunity to compete for the championship, they will not give up easily.

We lost two goals in the first round, but it may not be impossible to reverse it today.

Before the game started, Zanetti received the officially recognized 1000 official game commemorative silver plate from Blanca.

All the fans at San Siro stood up and applauded the legendary captain of the Nerazzurri.

As soon as the game started, Roma, the away team, launched an offensive first.

Borriello played the ball with his back in the penalty area, Mene knocked across the right side, and De Rossi's right-footed shot from the sideline of the penalty area slightly missed the right post!
  The visiting team played a wonderful little match!
  But soon, the initiative in the game was gradually controlled by Inter Milan.

Pazzini made a direct pass, and Maicon cut into the right side of the penalty area and volleyed from a small angle and missed the outside of the post!

Then Maicon personally dribbled the ball to the outside of the penalty area and hit the goal with his right foot, but Roma defender Juan used his body to block it.

Leo made a diagonal pass from the frontcourt, Maicon took the ball from the right and moved it in a wide range. Eto'o dodged the defender from the back, and his left-footed low shot from the front of the penalty area missed the near post!

In the tenth minute, Pizarro and Lucio made mistakes in clearing the ball from the backcourt. Borriello stole the ball and dunked past Maicon on the left side of the penalty area and volleyed with his left foot over the crossbar!

A minute later, Cambiaso's left-footed low shot from the top of the penalty area was scored by the visiting team's goalkeeper.

Doni quickly drove the ball forward. De Rossi passed Zanetti outside the penalty area and then volleyed with his right foot. The ball hit the top of the crossbar!

Cassetti brought down Lucio and the Nerazzurri got a well-positioned free kick.

Leo's free kick went straight over the wall and escaped Doni's save, but it hit the upper left corner of the goal frame and bounced off the baseline.

Leo:......

Sometimes it is not good to pursue the angle too much. If you are not so tricky, the ball may go in directly.

However, Leo's free kick also sounded the alarm for Roma's defensive players.

Now they don't dare to foul easily near their own penalty area.

If Leo is given another chance like this, he might be able to convert it into a goal.

The visiting team's defense was tied up and gave Inter Milan more opportunities.

Motta's low shot with his right foot from the front of the penalty area missed.

Leo scored the ball, and Eto'o's powerful long-range shot after cutting in from the left was blocked by the defender.

In the 22nd minute, De Rossi had difficulty breathing due to injury. After two emergency treatments, he still felt in pain.

However, Roma coach Montella refused to make substitutions, and De Rossi could only insist on staying on the court.

Leo dribbled the ball in the middle and accelerated, leaving De Rossi behind. Then the Roma vice-captain, who was also the captain on the field today, stumbled and fell to the ground.

Leo was stunned for a moment when he saw this, and when he was still thinking about kicking the ball out of bounds, the opponent struggled to stand up again.

No, this is just a Coppa Italia match, right?

Is your body and career more important, or is a Coppa Italia semi-final more important?
  Of course, it was Leo who got distracted. For him, a domestic cup championship is indeed not worth mentioning.

But for the Roma team, there is no chance for their other championships. The Italian Cup is the only championship they can hope to win.

Without Totti, De Rossi, as the captain on the field, really needs to lead by example.

Although it was a bit unbearable to see his national team teammates persisting despite injuries, Leo couldn't say much.

In the 28th minute, Leo passed the ball into the penalty area. The visiting team's center back Loria made a mistake in making a clearance. After getting the ball, Pazzini broke into the penalty area and passed from the right!
  Perrotta tapped the ball with his right hand, but the referee did not blow the whistle for a penalty kick. Eto'o grabbed the second spot and shot low with his right foot in front of the small penalty area. The ball went into the lower right corner of the goal!

One to zero!

The Nerazzurri took the lead to break the deadlock!

The total score in the two rounds also came to 3-0, and it seemed a bit difficult for Roma to reverse the situation.

However, they did not surrender, but instead stepped up their attack.

Mene passed the ball, and Pizarro's furious shot was blocked by Lucio with his body. Riise once again shot low with his left foot from the outside, and the ball missed the right post.

The home team immediately counterattacked. Leo's overhead ball was picked behind the Roma defense. Pazzini's single-handed chance was saved by Doni who was attacking!
  Both sides continued to attack but failed to score, and the game entered a stalemate.

With Borriello's outrageous long-range shot flying into the stands, the first half ended and Inter Milan temporarily led 1-0.

Leo thought that De Rossi would be replaced in the second half anyway, but Montella didn't.

Roma did make the first substitution in the second half, but Greco replaced not De Rossi but Pizarro.

In the 49th minute, Greco, who had just come on as a substitute, hit a free kick directly into the penalty area. It was not clear whether it was a pass or an attack. Cesar got the ball steadily.

Then Montella continued to make substitutions, Vucinic came on to replace Simplicio, and the Roma team went full attack.

It was impossible not to attack. There was a gap of three goals and only forty minutes left. It was very tight.

Leo sent a precise long pass in the backcourt. Facing the defense of Juan and Riise in the frontcourt, Pazzini stumbled with the ball to the right side of the penalty area!

Pazzini kicked off a powerful low shot fourteen meters away from the goal, but Doni saved the ball bravely!
  In the 55th minute, Bonucci brought down Mene with a scissor kick in the backcourt and received a yellow card.

Inter Milan also made substitution adjustments a few minutes later, with Milito coming off the bench to replace Pazzini.

Vucinic went straight to the right side of the penalty area. Borriello turned around at the penalty spot and hit the inside of the near post with his right foot, and then hit the other side post and bounced back into the field!
  Cesar hurriedly put the ball under his body!

The Roma players on the field were also a little dumbfounded. Borriello's shot just hit the goalposts on both sides but failed to score.

It seems that the goddess of victory is not on their side today.

In the 60th minute, Leo once again passed De Rossi past the penalty area!

Milito beat Juan's header and lobbed it into the net against the right post!
  Two to zero!
  Inter Milan further expanded its lead!
  Leonardo replaced Pandev and Coutinho successively, and the home team delayed a lot of time with substitutions.

The Roma team also seemed indifferent to this, because they had no possibility of changing the situation.

However, they did not say that it does not mean that the referee will sit back and watch Inter Milan waste time.

Maicon was given a yellow card by the referee Orsato for delaying the game.

Perrotta then brought down Cambiasso and also received a yellow card.

Milito's low shot with his right foot from the outside of the penalty area was blocked by Roma defender Juan. Milito quickly counter-stealed the ball and broke into the penalty area to face the goalkeeper!
  On the edge of the small penalty area, Milito spiked the ball with his right foot and pushed with his left foot. The ball was miraculously blocked by Doni!
  Roma almost gave up their attack in the final moments of the game.

In stoppage time, Leo made a direct pass and Milito broke into the left side of the penalty area at high speed!
  Juan made a big move when tackling from the side and kicked Milito down!
  The slow motion showed that Juan did not touch the ball at all and kicked over his opponent. There is no doubt that this was a red card and penalty kick.

But the referee Orsato refused to whistle without any indication.

This poor penalty also triggered boos from the entire Inter Milan fans.

That is to say, Inter Milan is leading the score now, so they don't care too much.

At the end of the game, Inter Milan defeated Roma 2-0 at home and away and successfully advanced to the Italian Cup finals.

"I am very happy to reach the final of the Italian Cup again, although I have won many trophies.

But I still enjoy the excitement of competing for the championship trophy every time.

I don’t think there’s anything special about the opponent in the final. Maybe Milan fans will be very happy.

For me, no matter whether the opponent in the final is a rival or another team, we will go all out and win the final victory. "

After the Coppa Italia semi-final against Roma, there will be two consecutive Serie A games.

After these two leagues have finished the 10-11 season, Serie A has come to an end.

However, Inter Milan's season is far from over. They still have two more important finals to play.

Needless to say, the Champions League final will be played against Barcelona on the 28th. The Italian Cup final was originally scheduled for the 29th.

It is definitely not working now and must be adjusted. It is useless if AC Milan does not agree with this.

It is impossible for Inter Milan to have just finished playing the Champions League today and play the Coppa Italia tomorrow. Then the Italian football world will definitely laugh to death.

The question now is whether to advance or delay.

The last round of Serie A this season is scheduled for Sunday, May 5, and there is no gap between the Champions League final on the 22th.

Inter Milan definitely hopes to postpone it, but AC Milan firmly disagrees.

They think it should be earlier because only in this way they can avoid delaying the holiday date. Everyone knows that AC Milan is a disgusting rival in the same city, but the Italian Football Federation and Serie A recognized their statement after discussions.

In the end, the Coppa Italia final was moved to the 25th, three days before the Champions League final.

On the other hand, Barcelona, ​​after finishing the La Liga schedule on May 5, can take six days to rest and adjust to prepare for Inter Milan.

Although Moratti was very dissatisfied and the Inter Milan club also protested, it is difficult to change what has been decided.

Everyone at Inter Milan is disgusted by AC Milan's behavior that harms others and does not benefit oneself.

It's really a toad crawling on your feet. It doesn't bite, but it's disgusting.

"It's no wonder that Serie A is getting worse year by year. It's no wonder that it can do well with such a management."

"This is too targeted at us. If we hadn't won the Champions League last year, the number of Champions League places in Serie A would have been reduced to three, right?

There are still people who are so ungrateful and shameless. "

It's useless to say so much. Didn't someone say that life is like being beaten? Since you can't resist, it's better to enjoy it.

On May 5, in the 15th round of Serie A, Inter Milan played an away game against Naples at the Sao Paulo Stadium.

If Inter Milan hadn't already won the championship ahead of schedule, this game between No. 1 and No. 3 in the standings would have attracted even more attention.

It's a pity that it was arranged in the penultimate round. This game no longer has much value to the Nerazzurri.

This game is also the final game of the season at Naples' "devil's home stadium" Sao Paulo Stadium. In addition, Naples has already secured the top four in Serie A and a Champions League spot.

But in the last two league games, one more point is still needed to stabilize the top three rankings in the league.

Therefore, the home team may not admit defeat easily in this game.

Leonardo made some adjustments to the starting lineup, Lucio suffered a minor injury and was absent due to injury.

Bonucci and Ranocchia form a double central defender.

Milito returns to the starting line-up on the striker, while Pazzini, who started the midweek cup match, is a substitute for this game.

The remaining positions remain unchanged.

For Naples, Cavani and Mascara are suspended, and Lavezzi serves as the lone forward.

Naples, playing at home, took the lead.

After the game started, the home team was indeed more aggressive in attacking.

Lavezzi broke through to the top of the penalty area and his right-footed shot was easily received by Cesar.

Pazienza made the ball, and Gargano dunked the defense on the penalty area line and volleyed hard with his right foot and missed the left post!
  In the ninth minute, Inter Milan scored with their first shot of the game!
  Milito and Eto'o cooperated tacitly and sent a low pass from the left. Leo swung his leg from the top of the penalty area and volleyed vigorously!
  The ball flew straight into the upper left corner of the goal like a shell!
  One to zero!

Inter Milan scored the first goal!
  Leo's 42nd league goal this season!
  Even if he doesn't score any more goals in the future, as far as the number 42 is concerned, his single-season scoring record is unprecedented, and it will be difficult for anyone to achieve such an amazing record in the future.

So far in the 2010-11 season, Leo has scored nearly goals for Inter Milan in all competitions.

This is just the goals. Although the number of assists has dropped slightly compared to last season due to the significant increase in goals this season, it is still an astronomical number compared to ordinary players.

Naples head coach Mazzarri looked at Leo, who was celebrating a goal not far away, with a wry smile.

If you give me a player of this level, maybe I can lead Napoli to win a few championships this season.

Mazzarri thought this in his mind, and then he ran to the sidelines and shouted loudly to the court.

The home team stepped up its attack without showing any signs of weakness amid the cheers from the fans.

Zuniga made a pass from the left, and Bonucci made a not far away clearance. Gargano followed up and volleyed with his right foot from the line of the penalty area, slightly over the crossbar!

In the 27th minute, Dosena scored the ball. Lavezzi shot a powerful long-range shot with his right foot from the outside of the penalty area. Cesar fell to the ground and tried to block the ball!

Three minutes later, it was Zuniga who got rid of Ranocchia's marker from the area to the right of the arc in the penalty area and shot into the far corner with his right foot!

Inter goalkeeper Cesar fell down again and kept the ball firmly in his arms.

Lavezzi made a direct pass, and Maggio broke into the penalty area from the right and attacked the goal from a small angle. Cesar flew up and hit the ball with one palm!
  The home team failed to achieve results after several consecutive attacks, and Inter Milan gradually began to control the rhythm of the game.

Because Napoli didn't have the ball, the San Paolo Stadium was booed.

There was no use in booing. Leo firmly controlled the ball. Pazienza and Gargano double-teamed but failed to steal it from his feet.

Dribbling the ball outside the penalty area, Leo passed the ball diagonally to the left.

Eto'o dribbled the ball laterally and was unable to get rid of the defender and had to pass it to the back of the penalty area. Milito's low shot with his right foot on the right side missed the far post of the goal!

In the 43rd minute, Kolarov stepped in from the left and received a timely pass from Leo and hit a powerful long-range shot!

Naples goalkeeper De Sanctis fought hard to save the ball!
  Inter Milan took a tactical corner kick from the left, Eto'o scored the ball, and Maicon started from his old place on the right side of the penalty area with a low shot with his right foot and hit the outside of the goal post!
  In the stoppage time of the first half, in the melee in the Inter Milan penalty area, Hamsik returned the header with a header. Zuniga turned around and shot in the penalty area but was cleared by Ranocchia!

After Maggio intercepted the ball, he had physical contact with Cesar and fell to the ground. The referee did not blow the whistle. Zuniga cleverly pushed the ball in front of the goal and scored!

One to one!

Naples recover a goal!
  After scoring, Zuniga took off his clothes and ran wildly to celebrate and received a yellow card.

This is his second goal of the season, which is quite precious.

In the second half, the game changed sides and the two teams frequently played in the backcourt for a while after the start.

Inter Milan has already won the championship early anyway, and a draw with the third-placed team in the league on the road seems acceptable.

More importantly, it can save energy and avoid injuries to players on the field.

Although Naples is playing at home, of course they hope to win this game.

But as I said before, as long as they get one more point, they can ensure the top three in Serie A.

In this strange atmosphere where neither team wanted to take the risk of attacking, time passed by minute by second.

The game scene was so boring that the TV director cut to a shot of a fan falling asleep in the stands.

In the 58th minute, Leo stole the ball in the frontcourt and launched a counterattack on the spot!
  A direct pass penetrated Naples' defense. Milito cleverly spiked the ball with his right foot in the frontcourt and dodged two defenders before breaking into the penalty area!

Facing the opponent's goalkeeper alone, Milito made a slight adjustment and volleyed hard with his left foot. De Sanctis fell to the ground and saved the ball!

Maggio broke through from the right and passed the ground ball. Hamsik's powerful long-range shot with his left foot was bravely saved by Cesar!
  A minute later, the home team made a comeback. Hamsik made a pass from the right, and Zuniga rushed in front of Maicon to shoot. The ball missed the right post!

After the two teams went back and forth for several times, the score on the field did not change and was still tied one to one.

In the 75th minute, Inter Milan took the lead in making substitutions.

Nerazzurri coach Leonardo replaced Eto'o with Pazzini.

Since neither team wanted to lose the game, both teams could accept the draw.

So everyone started to control the ball in the backcourt again, and the game became very boring again.

Naples replaces Zuniga with Yebuda.

In the 81st minute, Inter Milan also continued to make substitutions. Youth training youngster Chris Settig replaced Leo.

Leonardo's substitution revealed an obvious signal that he was satisfied with the draw.

In fact, Leo still wants to score goals, but he knows that the overall situation must be the priority.

When the head coach gave the order, he no longer looked for scoring opportunities willfully.

In the 86th minute, Inter Milan used up all the substitutions, and Samuel came on as a substitute!

Since the Argentine defender was injured in the game against Brescia on November 11, he has been recuperating for several months and finally announced his comeback half a year later.

Naples made two substitutions as it was about to enter stoppage time.

Mazzarri replaced Hamsik with Jose Sousa and Dossena with Vitale.

Both the home and away teams were looking forward to the end of the game as soon as possible and had no intention of organizing any more attacks.

At the end of the game, Inter Milan drew away with Naples in the penultimate round of the league.

"Samuel's return is of course good news for the team. He used his tenacity to overcome the injury and returned to the team in a shorter time than expected.

Now that the time for the Coppa Italia final has been decided, I don’t want to say anything more. It can be said that AC Milan tried their best to prevent us from having an easy time.

There are only two days between the two important finals, which is definitely a severe test for us.

Our participation in the Champions League final not only represents ourselves, but also represents all members of Serie A.

Whether it is trophies or points, it is not only related to Inter Milan, but also closely related to other Serie A teams.

If we hadn't won the Champions League last year and gained a few more European points, the Serie A team might not have been able to keep its four Champions League spots.

As a result, now they are ungrateful and want to disgust us to death.

But perhaps only shameless people like them would feel complacent about doing such a thing that harms others and does not benefit themselves. "

After the game against Napoli, there wasn't much to say about this boring game.

When Leo was asked about the rescheduling of the Italian Cup final and AC Milan, he didn't want to say more, but in the end he couldn't hold it back.

“Considering the players’ physical condition, I may not necessarily continue to start in the final round of Serie A.

So I want to say something here, wait until the final of the Italian Cup with AC Milan, I will prove one thing to everyone.

That is, you cannot win the championship by being shameless.

Sometimes, you must first learn to be a human being and then learn to do things. Don’t always do things that are worse than what you were born to do. That really won’t end well. "

Well, Leo almost pointed his finger at Berlusconi and Galliani.

They were mortal enemies anyway, and it was impossible for Leo to have any interactions with them, so he was not afraid of offending them at all.
