Chapter 299 Shameless

Three days later, on March 2012, 3, the second leg of the Italian Cup semi-finals will begin at San Siro.

In the first round of the competition, Inter Milan easily won 2-0 away from home, and there was no pressure when they returned to home.

The weekend is the second round of the league clash with Juventus this season, and Inter Milan has hidden most of its main players.

Even with a rotating lineup, Siena still did not pose the slightest threat to the defending champion.

In the end, with goals from Pazzini and Coutinho, Inter Milan defeated Siena 2-0 at home.

At the same time, they defeated their opponents at home and away and successfully advanced to the Italian Cup finals this season!

Interestingly, the opponent they will face in the Coppa Italia final happens to be their opponent in the next game, Juventus.

In the other half, the Bianconeri's path to promotion is not as easy as Inter Milan's.

Juventus narrowly defeated AC Milan 4-3 in two rounds and successfully advanced to the final of the Italian Cup.

There is no chance in the league, and the Coppa Italia has naturally become the only championship that Juventus can compete for this season.

The Bianconeri, who are eager to return to the top, urgently need a championship as a new starting point.

On March 3, in the twenty-ninth round of the 25-2011 Serie A season, Juventus faced Inter Milan at home at the Juventus Arena.

This is also a battle between the current top and third place in the league standings.

Inter Milan remains undefeated and tops the list with 27 wins and one draw, a full 22 points ahead of AC Milan, who is in second place with 60 points.

Juventus, ranked third, is seven points lower than AC Milan.

The top three are barely in the same echelon, and the competition for fourth place is even more intense.

Lazio, Napoli, Udinese and Roma, who have more than 40 points in hand, are all within a hair's breadth. They will fight hard for the last Champions League spot.

There are eleven games left in the league and it's hard to say what will happen.

This Italian national derby is highly anticipated, but it is a pity that Juventus’ home stadium has limited seats.

The Juventus Arena was packed today, with only 41,000 fans attending the game.

More enthusiastic fans could not buy tickets and could only gather outside the stadium.

Turin dispatched hundreds of police officers to maintain order at the scene for fear of riots.

The new stadium that Inter Milan has already started is larger than this one, but it will have to wait a few years before it can be put into use.

Even though Juventus is now nearly 30 points behind Inter Milan, it actually hasn't lost much at all.

Since the start of the new season, Conte's team has only lost once to Inter Milan in 28 league games.

In the remaining twenty-seven games, thirteen wins and fourteen draws remain unbeaten.

Of course, many draws are not a good thing. If they can win a few more games, even if all other draws are replaced by losses, they may get more points.

For Juventus, Barzagli returned from injury in time, and Buffon and Matri, who were rested in the Italian Cup in midweek, also returned to the starting lineup.

Lichtsteiner was suspended due to accumulation of yellow cards.

Conte basically used the starting lineup from their last round of the league that beat Fiorentina 5-0 away from home today.

Vucinic, Pepe and Matri form the three forwards.

Giovinco, Vidal and Marchisio sit in the midfield.

Left back Decelli, right back Caceres, Chiellini and Barzagli partnered as center back and goalkeeper Buffon.

Chiellini and Pepe ushered in personal career milestones. Today they both represented Juventus in Serie A for the 200th time.

For Inter Milan, Ancelotti still ranked four, two, and three first starters.

Balotelli's single arrow, Bale and Neymar flew together on both wings.

Leo is the attacking midfielder, Pirlo and De Rossi are in the midfield.

Left back Kolarov, right back Zanetti, Bonucci and Ranocchia partnered as central defenders, and the goalkeeper was Handanovic.

Before the game started, fireworks were set off at the Juventus Arena to welcome the much-anticipated El Clásico.

Juventini in the stands spelled out the number 29 and displayed a banner:

"What we won with sweat and sweat on the court was awarded to you by the court."

This was the response of the Bianconeri die-hards to Lazzuri's sarcasm to Juventus at San Siro: "We have not been deprived of the title and have never been relegated to Serie B!"

Leo looked at it and smiled disdainfully.

I'm sorry to mention it, but if it weren't for your own match-fixing and bribery of referees to manipulate the game, would this kind of thing have happened?

"Calciopoli" has caused all-round damage to Serie A.

Thanks to Juventus, the name "False" spread throughout Europe and even the world.

Now you are shamelessly pretending to be the victim, how shameless are you?

Without further ado, before the game started, the audience observed a minute's silence for the Italian soldiers who lost their lives in Afghanistan on the 24th.

A tit-for-tat battle begins!

As soon as the game started, Juventus, playing at home, launched an attack!

In the second minute of the opening, Juventus counterattacked to create a threat. Vidal passed directly to the right side of the penalty area. Pepe made a low pass in front of the goal but Handanovic fell to the ground and blocked it!

Matri took the ball from the outside and was promptly destroyed by Zanetti.

The strong smell of gunpowder began to permeate the court from the beginning of the game.

The players of both teams were in high spirits. Decelli stepped on Zanetti and Bonucci pulled down Chiellini. The two sides almost started a physical battle in the midfield.

Referee Andre Demarco verbally advised players from both teams to remain calm.

But it's not that simple. Kolarov made a pass from the left, and Balotelli jumped high in the middle to header!

Chiellini sneakily bumped into Bashen with his body, and the Inter forward fell heavily in the penalty area.

After confirming that Balotelli was fine, Leo went to the referee to protest.

Demarco shook his head without any penalty and gave Juventus a goal kick.

From the corner of his eye, Leo caught a glimpse of the proud smile on Chiellini's face.

Well, good, I remember you.

Neymar got rid of the defender on the right and cut inside. Balotelli leaned on Barzagli this time and shot with his right foot. Buffon fell down and blocked the ball.

Not to be outdone, the home team immediately responded in kind.

Caceres sent a precise diagonal pass from the right, Matri headed the ball from the middle of the penalty area, and Handanovic blocked it bravely!

Agnelli, the owner of Juventus in the stands, held his head in regret.

Bell made a high-speed breakthrough from the left and forced the acceleration away from the defender to pass a low pass into the penalty area. Balotelli made a clever pass, and Neymar followed up with a sweeping shot from the back, but Buffon fell to the ground and saved it!

Leo's corner kick was well placed, but Ranocchia failed to win the penalty kick and was destroyed by Barzagli out of the penalty area.

De Rossi's long shot from outside the penalty area went over the crossbar.

Vucinic was assigned to the left side of the penalty area. Marchisio took the ball and returned. Vidal's powerful low shot from the outside of the penalty area was firmly saved by Handanovic!

The offenses of the two teams kept going back and forth, and the transitions between offense and defense were so rapid that it was dizzying to watch.

A chance for Inter Milan to counterattack quickly!

After receiving the ball, Leo dribbled the ball in the middle and broke through Giovinco and Vidal before reaching the front of the home team's penalty area.

Chiellini saw that no other teammates were marking Leo, so he had to go up to him.

You're the one waiting, Leo deliberately slowed down to allow Chiellini to get into position.

After coming up, the Juventus center back also habitually tried to interfere with Leo through some movements of his hands.

And Leo did not give the opponent a chance to make small moves. He suddenly spiked the ball and turned around to speed past Chiellini.

In desperation, Chiellini reached out to grab Leo's jersey, but he dodged it.

By the time Chiellini turned around, Leo had already moved two positions away from him.

It seems impossible to catch up now. Chiellini can choose to trust his teammates and hand Leo over to Buffon.

However, after hesitating for a moment, Chiellini still chased after him.

When he fell to the ground, a fierce flying shovel successfully kicked Leo's calf!

"Beep——"

The referee Demarco was nearby and hurriedly stopped the game and called the team doctor to enter the field.

Fortunately, Leo was fine and went to the sidelines to check and quickly returned to the court.

Chiellini? In the end, the referee still couldn't show mercy and took out a red card to the Juventus defender lying on the ground wailing.

This kind of intentional injury with great malice from behind cannot be punished too severely.

What awaits him is more than just a red card. After the game, Inter Milan will appeal to Serie A and will not give up until he is suspended for an additional three to five games.

Leo is the core of Inter Milan. No one dares to imagine what the next season will be like if Leo is injured.

As for why Chiellini was limping when he came off the field and there were a few blood marks on his legs, there is no need to delve into it.

Who told him to commit a flagrant foul? Leo deserved it when he lost his balance and the spikes on his soles accidentally scratched his leg.

After a delay of three or four minutes, the game restarted.

Conte did not make any substitutions. Cáceres and Deceglie moved inwards and directly changed to a three-back formation.

After one man was sent off, Juventus' players seemed to become a little nervous.

Vucinic, Marchisio, Pepe, and Matri collided with each other one after another, and Barzagli almost made a mistake when he protected Balotelli.

Leo just used a little trick to make the originally aggressive Zebra Legion fall into disarray.

What is a top star and what is a midfield commander?

When playing football on the field, sometimes you don't just have to rely on your body, you have to use your brain!

It was originally possible to be evenly matched with Inter Milan, but now it was over. Not only was there one less player to play, but the people on the field were also in a panic.

Conte hurriedly ran to the sidelines and shouted loudly, reminding the players to stay calm, but it didn't seem to have any effect.

The balance of victory has tilted towards the Nerazzurri.

The only thing to blame is Chiellini's unclean hands and feet, and he wanted to injure Leo and ended up asking for trouble.

In the 25th minute, Leo passed the ball from the middle, and Balotelli broke into the penalty area and shot angrily to score!

One to zero!

There is nothing Buffon can do!

Inter Milan, playing away from home, took advantage of the opponent's chaos to break the deadlock!

After Balotelli scored, he rushed to the corner flag expressionlessly and performed a passionate celebration by sliding on his knees.

If you ask him why he doesn't smile, it's because he thinks it's cool these days. After being scored, the Bianconeri cheered up a little with the roars of head coach Conte and captain Buffon.

Giovinco passed the ball, Marchisio made a pass from the left, and Pepe missed the ball in the middle.

Vidal took the ball from the right and launched another attack. Caceres knocked back from the right side of the penalty area. Matri's right-footed arc in front of the penalty area was slightly higher than the goal!

Then the visiting team controlled the rhythm of the game, and Inter Milan got consecutive opportunities.

Zanetti knocked back from the right, and Pirlo took a long shot from the penalty area!

However, Buffon flew to the bottom line.

Leo took a corner kick from the right, Balotelli headed forward and headed towards the top, but Buffon subconsciously reached out to block it!

Then Neymar made a half-high pass from the right, and Bell's volley from the back point was punched out by Buffon!

Kolarov's left-footed shot from the penalty area missed the near post.

Juventus' defense is very tenacious, of course, mainly due to Buffon's heroic performance.

Pirlo made a long pass from midfield. Balotelli unloaded the ball lightly and was cleared by the attacking Buffon before he could take off.

The home team finally got a chance to counterattack. Vidal took the ball from the right, Matri stopped the ball and hit the goal but was blocked by Zanetti.

Leo scored the ball, and Bell volleyed hard from outside the penalty area on the left!

Buffon reacted very quickly and picked the ball off firmly.

Neymar dribbled the ball past Decelli on the right and then hit a low shot on the right side of the penalty area, but Buffon flew sideways to block the ball.

In the stoppage time of the first half, Leo volleyed with his right foot from the arc of the penalty area and went straight to the dead corner of the goal!

Faced with Leo's extremely high-quality shot, Buffon didn't panic at all, jumped up in advance and pushed the ball over the baseline with one palm!

Didn't get in again! It's Buffon again!

Inter fans watching this game scratched their heads.

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

"We have to continue this rhythm in the second half. Buffon's performance is admirable, but as long as we continue to bomb, he will definitely make mistakes."

At the beginning of the second half of the game, Inter Milan, which had superior physical strength, took the lead in launching the offensive in the second half.

The home team with a numerical disadvantage can only continue to retreat to its own penalty area.

Before Bell cut inside the penalty area, he shot a cold arrow with his left foot but it was confiscated by Buffon!

It was obvious that Buffon was quite focused and did not lose focus just because the second half had just begun.

But even if the defense can rely entirely on Buffon's performance, they still can't win the game without scoring, not even a point.

Juventus launches surprise attack!

Vucinic sent a long pass in the center circle, and Pepe's shot from the right side of the penalty area was blocked by Ranocchia.

Then the home team took a corner kick, and Giovinco's long shot from outside the penalty area was directly saved by Handanovic.

Deche used a foul to prevent Inter Milan's quick counterattack, but was also given a yellow card by the referee.

In the 61st minute, Conte knew they had to make adjustments, but who could be useful if they had one less player to replace.

Del Piero and Marrone came on as substitutes, replacing Pepe and Matri.

Juventus returned to a four-back formation, which may be able to slightly relieve Buffon's defensive pressure.

But the problem is still the same, the offense has not improved at all and even one person is missing.

"Zebra Prince" Del Piero, who had just come on as a substitute, hit the goal with a right-footed curved ball from the left side of the penalty area but was stopped by Handanovic!

Inter Milan quickly launched a counterattack, and Leo hit the opponent's half with a long overhead pass!

Balotelli took the lead and dribbled the ball to the penalty area.

Buffon did not attack recklessly. He stared at Balotelli's movements and was always ready to make a save.

Bashen didn't think so much. He didn't even bother to take two steps forward and just shot angrily from the sideline of the penalty area!

Buffon is Juventus's last hope. If he can't stop it, the game will be over.

"Snapped!"

Juventini did not disappoint. Buffon accurately judged the angle of Balotelli's shot and made a timely save!

However, due to the strong force of Bashen's heavy bombardment, Buffon failed to win the ball as he wished, and he took it off!

Neymar didn't know when he got forward into the penalty area and pushed the shot into the empty net with his left foot!

Two to zero! Inter Milan expanded the score!

Buffon really tried his best.

The Italian goalkeeper fell helplessly in front of the goal line, looking at the Inter Milan players cheering and celebrating not far away.

The camera went to the sidelines. Juventus head coach Conte was holding his chin with his right hand and looking at the court with confused eyes.

Juventus made another substitution, Quagliarella came off the bench to replace Vucinic.

The home team has used up all the substitutions, and they decided to give it a try!

In the 82nd minute, Decegli brought down Pirlo with a vicious foul.

The referee only verbally warned the Juventus defender who had already received a yellow card, but did not give him a second yellow card.

However, Pirlo was injured and could not persist and was replaced by Thiago Motta.

After Neymar was tackled by Vidal again, Ancelotti quickly replaced him with Coutinho.

We have already injured a main force, but we cannot hurt him again.

This really made Inter Milan very dissatisfied. Originally, Leo had slowed down his offensive pace and was preparing to retreat.

Now it seems that he can't give these guys a bad look. He knocked the ball to his teammates and turned around to advance.

Zanetti passed the ball diagonally from the right to Leo, who kicked the ball into the penalty area!

Balotelli turned his back and Leo kicked the ball again from outside the penalty area!

The pass from Inter Milan's No. 10 flew over the defensive player's head and landed on the left side of the penalty area. Bell took a late strike and suddenly sped out of the crowd!

A low shot with his left foot into the far corner of the goal!

Buffon struggled to the ground to save the ball, but his fingertips were still a hair away from the ball.

Three to zero!

Inter Milan completely sealed the victory!

Soon Inter Milan also used up their last substitution, and Leo was replaced by Chivu.

Firstly, it was to delay time, and secondly, it was to protect Leo.

Chiellini's flying tackle on Leo in the first half was scary to watch.

The game came to an end. Vidal broke through from the right and Piero stepped in to face the attacking Handanovic and pushed the far corner with his right foot!

Del Piero scored his fourth goal of the season and first in the league.

At the same time, this is also the 287th goal of his career, and the Zebra Prince scored consecutively against the Milan duo in five days.

However, this goal is of little significance.

At the end of the game, Inter Milan defeated ten-man Juventus 3-1 away from home!

After the game, Bianconeri coach Conte said in an interview:

"As Inter are currently ranked, they have no rivals in Serie A.

I think Inter Milan can beat any team in the world, and Bayern can't stop them from moving forward. "

This is to flatter him, to lift his opponent up so high that his loss today seems reasonable.

"I admire Buffon very much and I want to congratulate him on his performance today."

Ancelotti was the first to praise the opponent's goalkeeper. Buffon did cause them a lot of trouble in today's game.

“But I need to say a few more words about Juventus’ foul today.

Pirlo is injured and we don’t know how long he will be out.

Leo and Neymar also suffered bad fouls, but luckily they were not injured.

In my opinion not only Chiellini was one of their players who deserved to be sent off.

The referee's red card decision did change the direction of the game, but it was something they asked for. I don't think there is any problem with the red card. "

Leo also accepted an interview with reporters.

“I’m happy that the better team won the game in the end.

This should have been a high-level confrontation, and I look forward to both sides providing a wonderful game for the fans.

Unfortunately, Juventus doesn't seem to think so.

My teammates and I endured the opponent's "inhumane" defense.

During the game, I sometimes have doubts about whether I am playing football or boxing.

Chiellini is a teammate of my national team and there is no conflict between me and him.

But the foul he committed against me today was a 100% red card. There is nothing to say about it.

It was Juventus who ruined this highly anticipated focus game with their shameful and dirty behavior.

Oh, the dirty here refers to their ferocious fouls and poor defensive actions, not anything else.

Don't think too much. "

Of course Leo did it on purpose. His eccentric interview was reposted online by many fans who were watching the fun.

What’s very interesting is that the number of fans has increased again.

Ever since he discovered that criticizing others would not affect his image, Leo fell in love with the feeling of directly criticizing someone who was unhappy with them.

This instead allowed him to create a persona that was upright and dared to tell the truth.

He is handsome and has excellent academic performance, coupled with his personality that is very popular among young people. On the Internet, Leo is deeply loved by the majority of young people who are the main users of major social media.

Just finished the Italian National Derby with Juventus. Although Inter Milan successfully won the game, to be honest, Inter Milan also shed a layer of skin.

It's not just Pirlo's injury, other players are also physically and mentally exhausted.

Even if Pirlo's injury is not serious, he will be sidelined for at least one to two weeks.

This undoubtedly adds a little more pressure to the Nerazzurri, who are about to face the challenge of Bayern.

Regardless of rest, Ancelotti led the team and immediately threw themselves into training to prepare for Bayern Munich.

"Needless to say the threats of Robben and Ribery, Thomas Muller's movement is too flexible and difficult to defend."

"Their goalkeeper is also difficult to deal with. I can only hope that Neuer will be in a worse state when we play against us."

"What are you afraid of? Buffon is in such good shape, didn't we still score three goals against them?

I think Neuer is not worth mentioning either! "

……

The Bundesliga hegemon Bayern Munich team arrived in Milan. They will compete with Inter Milan in the Champions League quarter-finals in two days!

 happy New Year!
