The Prince of Inter Milan starts with Brother Xiaosa

Chapter 343 Ten Star Showdown (Please subscribe!)

The weekend's Serie A match went on as scheduled, with Inter Milan hosting Bologna.

Although they just finished a Champions League game in midweek, the Nerazzurri's soldiers are still in good physical condition.

Sitting at the Meazza Stadium, Inter Milan did not give their opponents any chance until the end of the game.

Balotelli scored twice and De Rossi also scored a long shot. The home team once led 3-0.

However, in the stoppage time of the game, Inter Milan, which was leading by three goals, was a little lax on the defensive end and gave the visiting team a chance.

Diamanti made a direct pass, and Gilardino's powerful low shot from the edge of the penalty area hit Bonucci's leg, changed direction and went into the net!

Three to one!

The cooperation of two former Italian internationals in the Bologna team helped them score a face-saving goal.

In the end, Inter Milan defeated its opponent 3-1 at home and won the 28th round of Serie A.

On March 3, the 15-2012 UEFA Champions League quarter-final draw ceremony was held at the UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland.

UEFA Secretary General Gianni Infantino and Director of Competitions Marchetti presided over the draw.

Arsenal was eliminated by Bayern only due to away goal disadvantage.

Among the top eight, La Liga has three seats, with Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid and Malaga all advancing successfully.

The Bundesliga and Serie A each have two seats. Four teams, Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund, Juventus and Inter Milan, also eliminated their opponents and advanced to the quarter-finals.

The participating teams in the quarter-finals of this Champions League come from four leagues.

But Serie A has a total of thirty-eight rounds, and there are still ten games to go. It cannot be said that the championship has been locked in yet.

Bayern has demonstrated their absolute dominance in Germany. After the 26th round of the Bundesliga, they are already 20 points ahead of second-placed Dortmund.

But this season, coach Heynckes worked hard and did not give them another chance.

Of course, Inter Milan is similar. Now that Serie A has just ended its 28th round, they are also 20 points higher than second-ranked Juventus.

Real Madrid, the favorite to win the championship, received the "big gift package" Galatasaray, greatly increasing its chances of advancing to the semi-finals.

Left back De Sciglio, right back David Thornton, Bonucci and Ranocchia form the center back combination, and goalkeeper Buffon.

I'm going too far. In short, this is the result of the Champions League draw, and that's all it takes to be dissatisfied.

Looking at Brazil, we can only say that Scolari's previous trip was not in vain.

Well, this year’s Champions League final will be played at Wembley Stadium in London, England.

This is a top ten-star showdown!

Next year's World Cup in Brazil happens to be the 20th one.

Before the official start of the draw, short video introductions of the eight participating teams were played on site.

On the Italian side, Prandelli continued to use the starting formation of 4312.

The most dissatisfied may be Galatasaray and Malaga, but who cares about their feelings?

The day after the results of the Champions League quarter-finals came out, Inter Milan faced Sampdoria.

Five-star Brazil versus five-time World Cup winner Italy!

After all, the probability of Inter Milan losing all in the last ten rounds and Juventus winning completely is extremely low, but it is not impossible.

Juventus and Bayern Munich ushered in their fourth encounter in the Champions League this century.

Ambassador McManaman, host of the final, was the guest of honor.

"Dortmund, fortunately, is better than Juventus. They were unlucky to draw Bayern."

After the two-leg quarter-finals are completed on April 4, the draw for the Champions League semi-finals will be held on April 10.

Balotelli and Osvaldo partner up front.

Inter Milan faced Borussia Dortmund, while Barcelona drew Malaga, who were participating in the Champions League for the first time.

This is very interesting. All members of the Premier League have been eliminated. Manchester United lost to Real Madrid with a total score of 2 to 3 in two rounds of competition and was unfortunately eliminated.

Although Dortmund performed well last season and beat Bayern to win the Bundesliga championship.

The draw for the Champions League quarter-finals is random, with no seeded teams and teams from the same league are not avoided.

In the end, Leo made a pass and shot, Bell scored a goal, and Inter Milan easily won 2-0 away from home.

Ligue 1 was also completely wiped out. From the so-called five major leagues to the Champions League quarter-finals, there are only three left, and the other one is actually from Turkey.

Leo is the attacking midfielder, Pirlo, De Rossi and Candreva join forces in the midfield.

On March 3, the 21 International Football Friendly Match staged a much-anticipated powerful dialogue in Geneva, Switzerland.

Leo once again taught Poli a lesson. Samp played the whole game in the midfield and received a yellow card. Leo was passed over on the defensive end and failed to make any contribution on the offensive end.

So when you hit here, you can draw anyone.

The remaining one spot was taken by Galatasaray from Turkey.

After playing this league game, Leo and the others did not stay in Milan for only two days before they went to report for their respective national teams.

What's even more interesting is that this game seems to be a team-building activity for Inter Milan.

This means that there are just more Hercules Cups played against both sides today than everyone else combined.

Chiellini and Marchisio are injured, otherwise they would most likely start the game.

Cassano, whose playing time has been inconsistent this season, was once again left out of the Azzurri.

Today, the Samba Army used a 433 starting formation.

Hulk serves as center, with Neymar and Lucas Moura on the left and right.

Coutinho is slightly forward, and the other two midfielders are Casemiro and Oscar.

Left back Felipe, right back Alves, center back Thiago Silva and David Luiz partner, goalkeeper Cesar.

There were a total of twenty-two players on the field, and twelve players from Inter Milan accounted for more than half.

Cesar is also a former Inter Milan player, and there are thirteen of them including him.

"Isn't Brazil's midfield a bit strong in attack and weak in defense?"

As Leo spoke, he looked at Gustavo and Fernando on the Brazilian bench. If they were allowed to play, would the midfielder's defensive interception ability be stronger?

As soon as I glanced at him, it was hard not to notice the old acquaintance who looked a little lonely.

As early as when Leo first debuted, some media said that he was "Kaka second" and "Inter Milan's Kaka".

At that time, it was mainly because they also played as an attacking midfielder and were equally sunny and handsome.

Unfortunately, their development trajectory has been a bit different since then.

After going to Real Madrid, Kaka's competitive status plummeted.

Affected by injuries and various aspects, Kaka has played less than 20 times in one season at Real Madrid.

And what about Leo? He will no longer be compared to other players.

He is the unique winner of three consecutive Golden Balls and the best player in the world!

In the future, more and more young players will be called "Leo No. 2". As for how good he is, it depends on luck.

The Prince of San Siro, who used to be so favored in Milan, can now only serve as a substitute for these young people in the national team.

I don’t know what Kaka feels in his heart and whether he regrets his choice.

Before the game started, Leo ran over to say hello to several club teammates in the Brazilian team who had just been separated for a few days. "Perform well today, but this is just a friendly match anyway, don't fight too hard, you know?"

"Oh, we are Brazilian players now, you are not our captain, we will not listen to you."

"That's right, watch us beat you later!"

These brats, Leo smiled and shook his head.

Players from both sides came out holding banners reading "No Racism", and Leo, as the player representative, read out an anti-racism declaration.

Before kick-off, the audience observed a three-minute silence to commemorate the former Italian men's 200-meter world record holder Menea who passed away that morning.

After the game started, compared to Brazil, which has always been good at attacking, the Italian team was more aggressive.

This was really strange and made the audience a little confused.

Leo dunked Oscar and then passed straight to the left side of the penalty area. Balotelli passed David Luiz and then shot!

But Brazilian goalkeeper Cesar reacted quickly and saved the ball with one palm!

Ouch, this is really good!

Leo didn't expect that Cesar could maintain such an outstanding state almost two years after leaving Inter Milan.

It seems that serving as the main goalkeeper for a weak Premier League team is helpful to maintain his condition.

The Brazilian team's counterattack was quite sharp. Hulk held Bonucci back with his back to receive Coutinho's direct pass.

Neymar broke into the left side of the penalty area and shot a low shot with his right foot, but Buffon blocked the angle in advance and easily pinned him down!

The ball returned to the hands of the Azzurri, and Leo launched another attack near the center circle.

Casemiro showed no mercy at all when facing his club teammates, he just flew forward and tackled!

Leo thought to himself, good guy, you don't care about humanity at all. After all, I am also the captain of your club.

Fortunately, Leo reacted quickly, immediately pulled the ball and turned around, cleverly avoiding Casemiro's flying tackle.

Then Leo made another precise through pass, and Osvaldo's shot from the left side of the penalty area was blocked by David Luiz.

Hulk turned around outside the penalty area and forced a shot, but Buffon held it firmly in his arms.

De Rossi's long-range shot from the front of the penalty area was blocked by Cesar!

Neymar dribbled the ball all the way to the outside of the penalty area and shot an oblique shot into the far corner of the goal, but Buffon hit it out.

Balotelli made a pass from the left, and Roma forward Osvaldo's header from the penalty spot was slightly higher.

Coutinho's left-footed low shot from the left side of the penalty area missed the far post.

Then Balotelli received a long pass from Pirlo and cut in from the left to the goal. His shot was blocked by Thiago Silva and was blocked by Thiago Silva.

Italy and Brazil didn't play conservatively at all today. The two teams went back and forth with constant attacks.

The rapid transition between offense and defense dazzled the audience.

In the 32nd minute, Brazil launched an attack in the frontcourt and Neymar sent a cross from the left.

Italian center back Bonucci, who was defending in the middle, made a mistake in clearing the ball with a header and accidentally knocked the ball to the back point!

Lucas Moura just waited there and pushed the ball into the empty goal!

One to zero!

The Selecao broke the deadlock on the field!

The Italian team was not affected and continued to organize the attack calmly.

Leo sent a precise long pass, and David Thornton unloaded the ball from the right side of the penalty area. However, under the interference of the Brazilian defender, the quality of his left-foot push was blocked by Cesar who fell to the ground.

A minute later, Balotelli's powerful right-footed volley from outside the penalty area was bravely blocked by Cesar.

Immediately after Candreva scored, Pirlo's left-footed curved shot from the edge of the right penalty area missed the far post.

The Azzurri's continuous attack inevitably led to a void in the defense.

Cesar serves quickly and Brazil counterattacks quickly!

Neymar received the pass and drove straight along the wing, attracting three defensive players and then knocked back to the center of the penalty area in time!

Oscar kept up with the attacking Buffon and calmly pushed the ball into the lower right corner of the goal!

Two to zero!

The Brazilian team expanded its lead!

In stoppage time in the first half, David Thornton made a low pass from the right to the goal. Osvaldo forced his shot wide of the far post under the pressure of Thiago Silva.

At the end of the first half, Brazil temporarily led Italy with a score of 2-0.

After the start of the second half, the Italian team took the lead in substitutions. Shaarawy and Montolivo came on as substitutes, replacing Osvaldo and Pirlo.

In the 49th minute, Balotelli's long shot from outside the penalty area was blocked by the Brazilian team's defensive player.

Corner kick chance for Italy!

Leo handed the corner kick to Montolivo to take the penalty, and he ran to the edge of the penalty area to look for opportunities.

Montolivo took a corner kick, and Leo stepped in with his unmarked right foot at the penalty spot and shot the ball into the lower right corner of the goal!

Two to one!

The Azzurri come back!

Four minutes later, Leo immediately moved forward after passing the ball forward.

However, David Luiz did not follow closely. When Balotelli broke through to the outside of the penalty area, he suddenly shot a cold shot with his right foot!

I saw the ball flying into the upper right corner of the goal like a cannonball!

Two to two!

Bashen's unreasonable world wave helped the Italian team equalize the score!

Then Brazil also made substitutions, with Kaká, Diego Costa, Gustavo and Marcelo coming on as substitutes.

Italy also quickly replaced Leo and Balotelli.

After the two teams made consecutive substitutions, the situation on the field changed again, and five-star Brazil gradually gained the upper hand.

In the 87th minute, Marcelo crossed the penalty area from the left. Kaka's shot was blocked by Ranocchia and then went slightly over the crossbar.

In the third minute of stoppage time, Diego Costa dribbled through the middle and was brought down by Aquilani, giving the Brazilian team a chance to win the game.

It's a pity that Neymar's direct free kick shot was blocked by the Italian wall.

At the end of the game, Italy and Brazil ended in a 2-2 draw.

After the game, Neymar, Coutinho and a few other brats ran to Leo's side.

"Captain, let's exchange jerseys?"

"No, I was here first, you should exchange with me!"

Leo smiled as he watched them fight in front of him. Is his jersey so popular?

"Why didn't you see me as the captain in the game just now? Oh, I know now."

Neymar grinned with his teeth bared, but Casemiro felt a little embarrassed. He was the most vicious tackler in the game.

"You guys can just use rock, paper, scissors, that's the fairest thing."

Lucas Moura, who didn't say much in the end, silently became the final winner and received an Italian No. 10 jersey.

"Okay, I didn't expect that this guy had the last laugh without saying a word."

After little Lucas took the jersey, he smiled and scratched his head.
