The Prince of Inter Milan starts with Brother Xiaosa
Chapter 283 National Derby
Chapter 283 National Derby
This time, Serie A decisively chose to play dead in response to Leo's remarks.
It was impossible to change, and there was no way to refute what Leo said, so he could only pretend not to hear anything.
Fortunately, Leo has no time to continue to fight against them. Inter Milan will play three consecutive Serie A games in the next week, that is, within seven days.
On October 10, just after returning home from the Champions League, Ancelotti sent out a rotating lineup.
At the end of the first half, Inter Milan led their opponents 2-0 thanks to Leo's passing and shooting.
Thiago Motta scored a world-beating goal in the second half, and the Nerazzurri completely sealed the victory.
In the end, Inter Milan easily defeated Chievo 3-0 at home in the eighth round of Serie A and scored three points.
Three days later, Ancelotti led the team to the Azzurri Arena in Italy to face the "true blue and black" Atalanta team.
Atlanta, playing at home, once posed a certain threat to the defending champion in the first half.
Although Leo assisted Balotelli to open the scoring, the home team's Italian midfielder Bonaventura soon tied the score with a long shot.
In the second half of the game, Inter Milan changed their previous style of play and began to focus on attacking the wings from both sides.
Atlanta was prepared for this change, but it was still unstoppable.
First, Bell made a long pass from the backcourt and scored with a long-distance run, and then Neymar made a continuous pass and passed the goalkeeper and shot into the empty goal.
In the end, Inter Milan defeated Atlanta 3-1 in an away game and won the ninth round of Serie A!
The first round of Serie A was postponed to December due to the strike at the time, which means that the league has played a total of eight rounds so far.
Defending champion Inter Milan leads the standings with 22 points from seven wins and one draw!
Juventus, who are ranked second, are also unbeaten, but they have slightly more draws.
The Bianconeri have 16 points from four wins and four draws, and are six points behind in second place.
Strong teams such as AC Milan, Roma, Udinese and Lazio also followed closely behind.
This is the first time that Juventus has shown hope of revival since the Calciopoli scandal in 2006.
Especially the previous game where they defeated AC Milan 2-0, Juventus supporters once again ignited their ambition to compete for the championship!
As long as they can defeat Inter Milan again, it will not only close the gap with the defending champion in the standings, but also a big step forward for the team mentally.
Because before Mourinho took office, Inter Milan was always at an absolute disadvantage in its competition with Juventus.
That is to say, the Nerazzurri's performance in Italy's traditional national derby has improved in recent years.
Juventus has made a strong recovery this season, and it is hard to say whether Inter Milan can continue to maintain its advantage after the changes.
"Juventus is coming in force!"
Before the game started, the major Italian media could not wait to start building momentum and warming up for this focus battle.
On October 10, the Milan Central Railway Station was crowded with people, with many Juventus fans wearing black and white striped shirts coming and going.
On the train from Turin to Milan, each car was filled with Juventini who were traveling to cheer for the team in an away game.
In an earlier Serie A match, AC Milan reversed a 3-2 away win over Roma and now has overtaken Juventus in points and is in second place.
The competition for the top four in Serie A this season is also extremely fierce. When the Bianconeri come to Meazza, they will definitely not be willing to return with a defeat.
The highlight of the tenth round of Serie A, Inter Milan's home game against Juventus is about to start at San Siro.
Whether the home team continues its unbeaten record against Juventus for three seasons, or whether the Bianconeri's away win continues to maintain pressure on the top spot depends on the outcome of tonight's game.
Before the game, Inter Milan fans displayed huge slogans in the stands:
"We have never stolen the league and we have never been relegated to Serie B."
This is like jumping into the opponent's minefield, and the visiting team was inspired to fight after seeing it.
The number of die-hard Juventus fans who came to the scene was limited, but they were already thinking about how to "receive" Inter Milan when they returned to their home court in the second round.
Samuel, Ranocchia, Coutinho, Thiago Motta and David Thornton are all out due to injuries.
Ancelotti made slight adjustments to the lineup today, and still adopted a starting lineup of four, two, and three one.
Balotelli's single arrow shot forward, with Gareth Bale and Neymar on the wings.
Leo is the attacking midfielder, Pirlo and De Rossi are in the midfield.
Pirlo reached the milestone of his 400th league appearance. Before the game started, Inter Milan presented a trophy specially prepared for him.
Left back Kolarov, right back Zanetti, Bonucci and Lucio partnered as center back and goalkeeper Handanovic.
For Juventus, Buffon passed the pre-match medical examination and returned to the starting lineup despite a shoulder injury.
Chiellini continues to play as left back, Barzagli and Astori, who is on loan from Cagliari, partner as central defender and Lichsteiner at right back.
Matri, Vucinic and Pepe form the attacking line.
In the midfield, Vidal, Marchisio and Giovinco played together.
If it weren't for Leo's butterfly effect, the 24-year-old Giovinco would have transferred to Parma this season and played his peak career performance of 15 goals and 13 assists as the core.
Now he remains at Juventus. Although he also performed well, his personal data will definitely be relatively not that good.
Juventus, playing away from home, took the lead.
Today they once again enjoyed the "enthusiastic" boos from Lazuli from the beginning of the game.
This actually illustrates a problem, that is, Inter Milan fans are also worried that Juventus really has a chance to win their home team on the road.
If there was no such worry at all, there would be no need to react so violently.
At the beginning of the game, Pirlo made a mistake in catching the ball in the backcourt and was intercepted by his opponent!
Matri took the ball and rushed into the penalty area but was interfered by Lucio. Zanetti destroyed the ball in time.
Inter Milan, playing at home, quickly counterattacked. Kolarov received Leo's pass and dribbled the ball from the left to break through!
Kolarov observed on the left side and immediately pumped the ball into the penalty area.
Balotelli frowned and struggled with Juventus defender Barzagli before the penalty kick.
Although there were some small movements on the opponent's hands, Bashen still stabilized his position. He hit the goal with his right heel under the interference of Barzagli's marking!
The ball was confiscated by Buffon's sideways save.
Then Zanetti's cross from the right was deflected by the defensive player, and Leo made a clever diagonal pass.
Gareth Bale took a long stride, accelerated in an instant and threw away the defender. Suddenly he reached the left side of the penalty area and shot a low shot with his left foot, which was blocked by Buffon!
Juventus counterattacked very sharply, passing through the home team's midfield with only two or three passes!
Vucinic passed through the middle, and Matri successfully countered offside and created a single opportunity!
Fortunately, Handanovic did not lose focus and decisively abandoned the goal to resolve the crisis.
Leo made a pass from the frontcourt, Balotelli turned his back, and Bell hit the right side.
Neymar caught the ball at the back point and passed the defender. He volleyed with his left foot in the corner of the small penalty area and shot slightly wide of the near post!
Inter Milan's offensive was fierce, and Juventus was not to be outdone.
Pepe broke through to the right side of the penalty area and fired from a small angle but was blocked by the home team's defender.
Zanetti made a wonderful breakthrough from the right and passed two people in a row. Bell got the ball back from the left. De Rossi's powerful volley from the front of the penalty area was firmly picked off by Buffon!
Giovinco got rid of the defense in the middle and passed the ball. Vidal turned around and shot with his right foot from outside the arc of the penalty area, but Bonucci blocked it.
The game obviously only lasted less than ten minutes, but due to the extremely fast offensive rhythm of the two teams and the rapid transition between offense and defense, the audience was dizzy.
The Bianconeri continued to attack, Matri's direct pass, Vucinic broke into the home team's penalty area with a single knife!
But the linesman raised his flag and the ball was already offside.
Leo cooperated with Pirlo on the outside of the penalty area and got rid of Marchisio to pass into the penalty area.
Balotelli stopped the ball with his toes and was caught by Buffon three meters away.
In general, Inter Milan, playing at home, has more opportunities and has a slight advantage.
In the 12th minute of the game, Matri scored the ball from the middle, and Kolarov, who came forward with an assist, failed to defend in time.
Lisistena made a low pass from the right, and Matri's left-footed shot from the front was blocked by Handanovic!
But Vucinic followed up with his right foot in the middle of the penalty area and shot a half-volley into the net!
One to zero!
Juventus, who was at a disadvantage, took the lead in breaking the deadlock on the field!
And this is the first time since March 2008 that Inter Milan has been scored by Juventus at home.
This was unacceptable to the Nerazzurri in the stands. Under the organization of the fan group, they tried their best to cheer for the team.
But before the Nerazzurri, who had just lost the ball, had time to recover, they were caught off guard by Juventus again.
Inter Milan was intercepted by Vidal after the kick-off, and Matri received a through pass from Vucinic to form a single!
But his right-footed attack in front of the small penalty area missed the right post slightly.
The Bianconeri missed an excellent opportunity to expand the score.
Since the beginning of this season, Inter Milan has basically used two sets of central defenders.
Bonucci and Ranocchia partnered, Samuel and Lucio combined.
However, the injuries of Samuel and Ranocchia left Ancelotti with no choice but to let Bonucci and Lucio, who had not played together this season, play together.
This also led to the lack of tacit understanding between the two. They made mistakes and almost lost the ball right after the game started.
Bonucci and Lucio worked together last season. As the game progressed, the two finally found their form.
Juventus was not given the opportunity to attack through the defense again and again like before.
The home team began a tidal counterattack!
De Rossi stole the ball in the backcourt, and Leo dribbled the ball past half-court and then scored.
Inter Milan formed a three-on-three frontcourt. Neymar made a pass and passed through. Bell's left-footed volley missed the far post.
Immediately afterwards, Balotelli's sideways volley shot in the penalty area was pushed out of the baseline by Buffon with one palm!
Inter Milan got consecutive corner kick opportunities.
Bonucci's header in front of goal went over the crossbar due to interference from Chiellini.
After that, Kolarov's left-footed long shot was also blocked by the defensive player.
Gareth Bale passed back to the goal from the left, and Balotelli's close-range push was shoved out of the baseline by Astori! Leo took a corner kick from the left, and Bell's overhead kick failed to hit the goal under Lichtsteiner's marking.
Barzagli pulled down Neymar in front of the penalty area, and referee Rizzoli showed the first yellow card of the game.
At the same time, Inter Milan also got a free kick opportunity from a good position.
This time Leo stood in front of the serving position without hesitation.
Now that Inter Milan is lagging behind, as the core of the team, he is bound to stand up.
With just one glance, Leo imprinted in his mind the position of Juventus's wall and Buffon's position.
"Very good, this space is enough!"
Just waiting for Rizzoli's whistle, Leo swung his legs and made a curve ball without a moment's hesitation!
The ball flew over Giovinco's head and went straight to the far top corner of the goal.
Giovinco, who is 1.65 meters tall, tried his best to take off, but the "atomic ant" "jumping high" was not even as high as his teammate Balzac standing still.
Therefore, Leo's free kick flew over his head easily. Buffon's judgment was not accurate enough and the direction of the save was also biased.
Although the Italian goalkeeper reacted quickly, it was already too late. Buffon could only watch the ball fly over his glove and into the blind corner of the goal!
One to one!
Inter Milan equalized the score!
The entire San Siro stadium was filled with excitement. The Nerazzurri fans cheered loudly and applauded Leo's wonderful free kick.
Balotelli was even more outrageous. He knelt down on one knee with a smile on his face and made a gesture of cleaning Leo's sneakers to celebrate.
On the other side, Neymar's eyes were stunned, thinking that this boy, Bashen, had lost his face in order to compete for Leo's "favor".
Of course this is all a joke, but the players in the frontcourt really need to rely on Leo's passing if they want to score more goals.
At least from the beginning of the season until now, Leo has not shown any preference on the field, and has basically managed to get the rain and dew equally.
After being equalized, Juventus launched several threatening counterattacks.
Matri dribbled the ball from the left into the penalty area and passed Lucio who was rushing towards him. Then he shot low with his right foot. The ball was saved by Handanovic bravely!
Juventus took a corner kick, and Chiellini's header from the small penalty area line went over the crossbar.
The Nerazzurri immediately retaliated. Leo passed the ball over the top into the penalty area, and Neymar's overhead kick in the penalty area was caught by Buffon.
A few dozen seconds later, Zanetti's powerful low shot from the right side of the frontcourt was blocked by the visiting team defender.
Gareth Bale accelerated and changed direction from the left to get rid of Barzagli, then cut into the penalty area and his left-footed low shot missed the near post!
After talking about it for a long time, the game was played for less than half an hour.
In the 28th minute, Leo passed the ball in the frontcourt and got rid of Vidal and passed directly to the right side of the penalty area with his left foot!
Neymar's left-footed volley at an angle in front of the goal hit Astori's calf and then changed direction and flew into the upper right corner of the goal!
Even Buffon was powerless against such a sudden and sudden change of direction.
Two to one!
Inter Milan overtook the score!
After taking the lead, the Nerazzurri continued their efforts, and the offensive frenzy became higher and higher.
Kolarov made a breakthrough pass from the left, and Balotelli dived to the top of the penalty spot and concentrated on popping the crossbar!
Leo made a diagonal pass, and Bale accelerated to eat Lichtsteiner's cross from the left side of the penalty area, but Barzagli sacrificed himself to save it!
In the 33rd minute, Lichtenstein sent a cross from the right. Giovinco stopped the ball and got rid of it before passing it to Marchisio.
Marchisio played with Vucinic in the middle and then passed the ball. There was a leak in Inter Milan's defense.
Giovinco responded, and Marchisio accurately pushed the shot with his right foot from the edge of the penalty area into the lower right corner of the goal!
Two to two!
Juventus equalized the score!
Juventus coach Conte looked very excited on the sidelines. The Italian coach waved his fists and grabbed many shots.
The game situation changed again. Inter Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti was sitting on the coaching bench, and there was no obvious fluctuation.
There was not much time left in the first half. With the cheers of the home team fans, the Nerazzurri further strengthened their attack.
In the 41st minute, Pirlo passed the ball straight over the top, and Leo suddenly stepped forward and unloaded the ball lightly before breaking into the penalty area with one knife!
Facing the attacking Buffon Leo, he boldly lifted the ball over the head of the Juventus goalkeeper.
But when he picked the ball past Buffon and was instantly tackled by the opponent, the referee Rizzoli refused to give a penalty!
Buffon luckily escaped a penalty kick and a red card. Nerazzurri on the Meah viewing table was very dissatisfied with this penalty.
Boos echoed across the pitch as the visiting team quickly counterattacked and hit the frontcourt.
The Inter Milan players did not bother to protest with the referee and could only fight back to defend.
Giovinco counterattacked and scored, and Lisistena's powerful volley from the right side missed the near post.
Then Vidal's long shot from outside the penalty area went over the crossbar.
Leo once again made a precise pass into the penalty area, but Chiellini blocked it with a handball. Rizzoli did not interrupt the game.
The first half of the game entered stoppage time. Vidal tackled Neymar and was given a yellow card by the referee.
However, Rizzoli did not give time for a free kick and directly blew the whistle to end the first half.
Inter Milan is very dissatisfied with the referee's several very unreasonable and controversial penalties, especially a few young people.
Leo was afraid that they would do something drastic, so he called Zanetti and they pulled Balotelli and Neymar back to the locker room.
"I know everyone is unhappy with the referee, and Juventus hate it even more, but we have to stay calm.
Otherwise, we have fallen into their trap. The opponent just wants to use this to anger us and make us behave irrationally.
As long as we perform normally in the second half, we will definitely win the game! "
Leo took the initiative to stand up and inspired the whole team as the vice-captain.
Everyone still trusted him, so they quickly regained their composure.
There were a total of 25 shots from both sides in the first half. In some games, there may not be so many throughout the entire game.
It can be seen how fiercely the two teams attacked in the first half.
At the beginning of the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again. Neither team was in a hurry to make substitutions.
Juventus, playing away from home, took the lead in attacking.
Pepe passed the ball back in an inverted triangle from the right, and Giovinco dribbled the ball horizontally from the center to get out of the way and then shot a long shot!
Handanovic made a flying save and picked the ball off.
Bonucci made a big clearance in the backcourt. Balotelli stopped the ball in the midfielder's chest and turned around, but Chiellini came up and knocked him to the ground with a fierce elbow.
Rizzoli saw it and gave Chiellini a yellow card.
Pepe then returned to defense and tripped Zanetti with his leg, and was also given a yellow card by the referee.
Pirlo's free kick passed into the penalty area and was pushed out by the Juventus defender. De Rossi's long shot from the outside of the penalty area hit his teammate and bounced out of the baseline.
The score on the field was still two to two, and both teams were gradually becoming anxious.
If anything, Conte and his Juventus can accept a 2-2 tie with Inter Milan in the away game.
But for Inter Milan, a draw at home equals failure!
Pirlo took the ball in the middle and was knocked down by Vidal with a flying tackle. Rizzoli only gave a few verbal warnings.
Modric came on for emergency warm-up and replaced Pirlo, who had suffered a minor injury.
Section Chief Qiao Wen passed the ball into the penalty area, and Vucinic's header was punched out by Handanovic!
Matri followed up with a follow-up shot from a small angle, but the Inter Milan goalkeeper fell to the ground and blocked it with his legs!
The Bianconeri's corner kick from the right was deflected by Bonucci, and Marchisio volleyed from the front of the penalty area and was blocked by the defender.
Afterwards, Lichtsteiner passed Kolarov on the right and cut into the penalty area with a right-footed diagonal shot that was slightly higher.
Inadvertently, the visiting team played a continuous attack. Fortunately, Handanovic's defense was solid and did not concede the ball.
Next it was Inter Milan's turn to perform.
Leo pulled a 45-degree diagonal pass to the right into the penalty area!
Juventus made a mistake in the clearance and Barzagli's header went over the head. Balotelli's right-footed volley from inside the penalty area was blocked by Buffon!
Bell broke through from the left and passed back near the baseline. Modric pushed the far corner with his right foot from the left side of the penalty area and missed the outside of the post!
Neymar and Balotelli cooperated in the frontcourt, and the final powerful volley was blocked by Buffon!
Even though the score is now 2-2, with both teams conceding two goals each, the goalkeepers on both sides actually performed very well.
If either side replaces a weaker goalkeeper, they may have been defeated by now.
In the second half, after the home team stepped up their offensive, Buffon's high passes and low blocks in front of the goal defused the crisis time and time again and kept the goal!
In the 66th minute, Vidal and De Rossi were injured and fell to the ground after a collision.
Juventus took the lead in making substitutions.
Pachienza and Del Piero came on as substitutes, replacing Vidal and Vucinic.
It seems like Conte wants to give it another try!
The Zebra Prince, who came on as a substitute, broke through the left wing to get rid of the defense and then broke into the left side of the penalty area. His right-footed curve ball shot was held up by Handanovic with one palm!
Big foot drives to the frontcourt, Inter Milan counterattacks quickly!
Balotelli responded with a header, and Leo turned around with his right foot and passed Pachienza's stride to the outside of the visiting team's penalty area.
Four on three in the frontcourt, Inter Milan has the numerical advantage!
Bell, Balotelli and Neymar are already in position, just waiting for Leo's ball to pass to complete the shot!
No matter how good Buffon was, he couldn't take care of him. He tried his best to stay calm in front of the goal line, observing the movements of several Inter Milan offensive players.
Bell turned back and forth on the left side, creating space and raising his hand to signal for the ball!
Leo immediately made a move to pass the ball, and Buffon had already started moving his feet in advance and was ready to save.
But Leo's realistic passing action is fake!
I saw Leo, who was standing on the edge of the penalty area, blasting the goal with a heavy kick and heading straight for the upper right corner of the goal!
Buffon hurriedly turned around and jumped up to save the ball, but Leo's shot was so fast that it got into the net in an instant!
Three to two!
Leo faked a fax and shot a world wave that broke through Buffon's ten fingers for the second time today!
There was not much time left in the game, and Inter Milan, who was leading the score, made adjustments.
In the final stage, the home team had the ball at their feet for a long time. Juventus was helpless and ultimately unable to reverse the defeat.
At the end of the game, Inter Milan reversed the situation after being scored first by the opponent.
With Leo's two shots and one pass, he finally narrowly defeated Juventus with a score of 3 to 2 and won the first round of the Italian Clasico this season!
