The Prince of Inter Milan starts with Brother Xiaosa

Chapter 301 Two reds and four points!

Time goes by, another month passes, and the season gradually comes to an end.

The temperature in Milan gradually rose in April, with the daily maximum temperature exceeding 20 degrees.

However, it is still cool in the morning and evening, and now is the most comfortable time before summer arrives.

We just finished a tough battle with Bayern in midweek, and there is still a Serie A game to play on the weekend.

In the 30th round of the league, Inter Milan played Genoa at home in the early afternoon.

This makes Asian Inter Milan fans very happy. At least they don't have to stay up late to watch the game today.

Considering that Bayern will be playing away from home in the second round of the Champions League next week, Ancelotti made some rotations in the starting lineup.

Pirlo continued to miss the game due to injury. Although captain Zanetti recovered from the injury in time, he was not included in the squad today.

Balotelli, Bale, Leo and other main players have also taken turns.

The Nerazzurri formed a starting formation of 4,31,2.

The double forwards of Pazzini and Berbatov, Coutinho as the attacking midfielder, Thiago Motta, Chivo and Verratti in the midfield.

Left back David Thornton, right back Srna, Samuel and Lucio partnered as central defenders, and the goalkeeper was Handanovic.

Genoa, which is in the bottom half of the standings, has been winless in eight games with four draws and four losses since February 2.

In this away game, Marino used a three-forward formation of Gilardino, Palacio and Scully.

Belluschi, who was loaned from Porto in the winter transfer window, leads the midfield, with Biondini and Veloso partnering with him.

It seems that not only are they not conservative, but they also want to take advantage of Inter Milan's two-line combat lineup rotation to take a bite from the defending champion.

No one expected that this game would be much more abstract than everyone expected.

"They want to fight us?"

Seeing the visiting team's starting lineup, Leo had such doubts in his heart.

As expected when the game started, the two sides immediately got into a fight.

Srna sent a high-quality cross from the right, and Berbatov directly took off and volleyed the goal slightly wide of the left post.

A minute later, Palacio broke into the penalty area and with a change of pace, Samuel was left behind.

Under the attack of Handanovic and Samuel, Palacio forced the goal with an outside instep shot but was blocked by the Inter Milan goalkeeper!

Handanovic was injured and received treatment from team doctors off the field before returning to the field.

Then Genoa's corner kick was taken by Veloso, and Gilardino jumped high in the middle and shook his head to attack the goal!

Thiago Motta near the right goal post headed the ball over the goal line and pushed the ball out of the baseline!

In the 13th minute, Coutinho struck back in the frontcourt. Verratti got the ball in the middle and then split the ball. Pazzini on the left was unmarked and made an easy pass from the edge of the penalty area!

Berbatov, who was inserted in the middle, leaped high and headed past the gate guarded by Genoa goalkeeper Frei!

One to zero!

The Nerazzurri, playing at home, took the lead in scoring!

Frei is also considered a veteran of Inter Milan. He ended his six-year career with Viola last summer and left Florence to join Genoa.

The start of the game seemed to go smoothly, and Inter Milan's offensive resumed.

Coutinho's continuous dribbling in the middle was brought down by Veloso's flying shovel, and Inter Milan won the free kick in the frontcourt.

Lucio's free kick went directly into the penalty area. Pazzini rushed to get the header to pass. Samuel grabbed the header and relayed it. Frey turned sideways and saved the ball!

Then Berbatov's close shot went over the crossbar.

In the 23rd minute, David Thornton stepped in from the left to assist and moved the ball in a wide range.

Srna followed up with a cross to the center from the right, and Frey struck decisively to block the ball!

Pazzini's follow-up shot was caught by Genoa goalkeeper Frei.

The visiting team's counterattack was easily picked off by Handanovic, and Inter Milan started the offensive with a long pass from the backcourt.

Berbatov dribbled the ball back from the front and Coutinho followed up with a left-footed arc ball from outside the penalty area and volleyed it away!

In the 26th minute of the game, Chivu midfielder made a diagonal pass from the right, and the opponent's defender Carvalho headed the ball back. Berbatov countered offside and successfully went to the meeting alone!

"Brother Chic" dribbled the ball into the penalty area and faced Frey with a powerful right-footed volley to score another victory!

Two to zero!

Inter Milan expands its lead!

"It seems that I was worrying too much. There is still no problem in this game."

Leo, who was sitting on the bench on the sidelines, breathed a sigh of relief.

The Nerazzurri's offensive continued unabated, and Pazzini's powerful volley in the counterattack hit the hand of Genoa defender Kaladze!

The Inter Milan players on the field raised their hands to signal to the referee that the opponent's defensive player had committed a handball foul.

However, the referee Valery, who was officiating the game, shook his head and refused to impose a penalty.

Genoa's counterattack hit the frontcourt, and Palacio's sharp breakthrough caused Srna's foul.

Veloso caused chaos by taking a free kick 28 meters in front of the goal, and the Inter Milan defender headed the ball.

Biondini's volley from the edge of the penalty area was blocked by Samuel.

In the 36th minute, Coutinho passed the ball directly to the foot of Pazzini on the left side of the penalty area.

Pazzini passed the ball low across the middle, and Verratti, who followed from behind, fell to the ground and shot for a corner kick!

Inter Milan took a corner kick, and Berbatov's shot was blocked by the Genoa defender with his body!

Genoa defensive players failed to completely destroy the ball after successive clearances. Lucio made a high-speed cross from the right and Samuel, who was ambushing in the middle of the penalty area, fell to the ground and scored with a shovel!

Three to zero!

The Meazza stadium burst into applause, and cheers echoed over the stadium.

Inter Milan has secured the victory!

……?

After the lead expanded to three points, the Inter Milan players on the field inevitably showed some slack.

Veloso took a free kick in the frontcourt. In the melee in the penalty area, Kaladze fell to the ground during the struggle with Samuel. The referee Valery did not call a penalty kick.

Moretti complained to the referee and was given a yellow card.

The first half entered stoppage time, and Belluschi's cross was cleared by Samuel!

Genoa took a corner kick, and Chivu, who returned to defend the penalty area, blocked Scully's header!

Scully then hit the goal with an upside-down golden hook in front of the small penalty area!

Handanovic flew to make a save, but the ball hit Moretti's thigh, changed direction, and was blocked into the goal!

Three to one! Genoa comes back!

The visiting team broke through the Nerazzurri's door in a bizarre way, and the home team did not realize the seriousness of the problem.

At the end of the first half, Inter Milan, playing at home, temporarily led its opponent 3-1.

On the way back to the locker room, the home team players all had smiles on their faces.

At the beginning of the second half of the game, Inter Milan, who was leading the score, was certainly not in a hurry to make substitutions. Genoa took the lead in making adjustments, with Jankovic coming off the bench to replace Veloso.

Inter Milan cooperated in the frontcourt, and Berba distributed the ball to Coutinho.

Coutinho's powerful long-range shot from the front of the penalty area was caught by Frey.

The home team won a corner kick opportunity, Srna hoisted into the penalty area, and Chivu got a chance to shoot from the back point, but his left foot volley went straight away.

In the 52nd minute, Genoa retaliated. Gilardino's toe stab was resolved by Handanovic falling to the ground.

Two minutes later, another long shot from Coutinho in front of the penalty area was bravely saved by Frey.

In the 58th minute, Belluschi made a diagonal pass to the left side of the penalty area, and Scully and Srna competed for the landing spot in the penalty area.

Scully's header hit Srna's hand. The Inter Milan right back couldn't dodge, and the referee whistled for a penalty kick!

Genoa won a penalty kick at this time!

The situation became a little delicate, and Nerazzurri in the stands realized that something was wrong.

Palacio stood on the penalty spot. The Argentine was not disturbed by the home team's supporters in the stands and calmly pushed the lower right corner to score!

Genoa tied the score to 2-3!

The difference is only one goal!

The visiting team's morale was high and their offense further strengthened.

After being beaten twice by their opponents, Inter Milan had to make substitutions.

Ancelotti replaced Pazzini and Verratti with Leo and Bale.

Coutinho was pushed to the right, and the Nerazzurri's formation changed to 4231.

Leo, who had just come on as a substitute, dribbled the ball past Biondini in the middle and sent an exquisite direct pass!

Coutinho dribbled the ball into the penalty area and was brought down by the Genoa defender when he shot, but the referee did not award a penalty kick.

Inter fans in the stands booed.

Bell passed three people on the left and cut inside to the edge of the penalty area. His left-footed shot was scored by Frey!

At the same time, he was injured by Belluschi's tackle and fell to the ground. Fortunately, it was not serious.

Motta passed the ball during the counterattack, and Coutinho escaped from the defense on the right and missed the goal with a small angle shot.

Leo then stole the ball and passed forward, and Berbatov's volley from the edge of the penalty area went over the crossbar.

In the 76th minute, David Thornton made a pass from the left side of the penalty area. Bell's left-footed shot missed the target and was blocked by Frey!

Inter Milan continued to organize the attack. Leo once again distributed the ball to the left side. Berbatov dribbled the ball into the penalty area and faced Mesto's block and kicked decisively!

"Brother Chic"'s right-footed curved ball spiraled directly into the far corner of the goal. Genoa goalkeeper Frei was unable to save his life!

Four to two!

The Nerazzurri's lead is back to two goals!

Berbatov scored his first hat trick after joining Inter Milan!

The dashing brother also became the third player to score a hat trick for Inter Milan in Serie A this season after Leo and Balotelli.

The Bulgarian was very happy after scoring. He ran to the corner flag area and performed a passionate slide.

The die-hard Nerazzurri fans on the Meah viewing stand also gave Brother Xiaosa warm applause.

However, no one expected that the game would not end so easily.

Just two minutes after Inter Milan scored, Palacio received a long pass and made a single!

Handanovic's head got hot and he was forced to fly and knock him down in the penalty area!

The referee Valery was merciless and gave him a red card and a penalty kick!

Handanovic was sent off, and Inter Milan was forced to replace the goal hero Berbatov with Castellachi.

The Bulgarian was once again applauded by Inter fans as he came off the pitch.

Gilardino took the penalty kick and hit it!

Three to four!

Genoa brought the score gap back to one goal!

In the 83rd minute, Leo scored the ball and David Thornton made a low pass from the left.

Bell caught the ball in the penalty area and was tackled by Belluschi!

Belluschi was also sent off with a red card by the referee!

Inter Milan also got a penalty kick opportunity, and at the same time the numbers of both sides returned to the same level.

Leo took a deep breath, and he used a confident volley to score the penalty kick into the upper right corner of the goal!

Five to three!

And it's not over yet!

At the last moment of the game, Scully received a header from his teammate on the left side of the penalty area and was kicked to the ground by Lucio.

Referee Valery pointed to the penalty spot, and it was another penalty!

Lucio also received a yellow card. Gilardino took the penalty kick and volleyed past Castellaci and went straight to the top of the goal!

Five to four!

It's simply baffling, no one thought that this game would turn out like this!

When Valery blew the whistle to end the game, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

It's finally over. Inter Milan narrowly missed three points at home at 5-4!

The Genoa players, who worked hard throughout the game but fell short in the end, sat helplessly on the Meazza grass.

They really tried their best.

It can even be said that Marino's team played their best game this season, even if more than half of the four goals were "helped" by the referee.

It's just a pity that their opponent today is Inter Milan.

The Nerazzurri soldiers seemed to be surviving a disaster, with frightened smiles on their faces.

They were just a hair away from overturning at home.

After 30 rounds of Serie A, Inter Milan, which remains unbeaten with 29 wins and one draw, continues to be far ahead in the standings!

Second-ranked AC Milan drew 1-1 with Catania in the away game this round and is now just 24 points behind their city rivals.

This means that with eight rounds left in the league, the defending champion Inter Milan has basically locked in the league championship this season!

But there was still a trace of almost impossible suspense, which made Nerazzurri, who wanted to celebrate the championship at home today, a little disappointed.

Inter Milan only needs one more point in the next league game, and they will win the 2011-2012 Serie A championship seven rounds ahead of schedule!

“We knew before the start of this game that we had no chance of winning the championship early at home today.

But we really didn't expect that this game would be such a twists and turns process.

I have no comment on the referee's decision. I can only say that he did add a bit of drama to the game.

There is no problem with the players' performance. Three days later there will be a second round match against Bayern, so rotation is a must. "

Leo is not as polite as Ancelotti.

"Two red cards and four penalties in one game, haha, the referee 'controlled' the game very well.

I admit that the opponent performed very well today, and Genoa's players performed to their level in the away game.

But this game definitely shouldn't have been played like this. The away team got a total of three penalty kicks. Even if I say that some people don't want us to win, there's nothing wrong with it, right?

Some fans may like this kind of goal battle, but Inter Milan and I only hope to play in a relatively fair environment.

Is it really that difficult?

Aren’t you the ones who have done so much and we still rank first?

What’s the point of having to do these things? "
