Even if Kaka and Ibrahimovic are gone, and Ronaldinho and Beckham are old, the appeal of the Milan derby is more than that of Inter Milan and Chelsea, AC Milan and Chelsea.
The stands at Gillette Stadium were full, and many local celebrities and businessmen in the United States came to watch the world-renowned game. Abu, Jukova and Emma were also present at Gillette Stadium.
It was Inter's final game in North America against AC Milan again, and Mourinho fielded the strongest squad he could put up to face the derby.
Inter Milan's last game on the bench in the main defenders Cesar and McCone are all back this time, and the newly signed Brazilian captain Lucio also started with Córdoba, the teenager Thornton sat on the bench, and captain Zanetti played at left-back. In midfielders, Cambiasso, Muntari and Stankovic partnered in a back three, Gao Xiaodong appeared in the front midfield position, and Milito and Eto'o were up front.
Milan made a major change at the back, with Oneu starting in place of Nesta, who had recently rebounded, while Jankulovski returned to the starting line-up, Zambrotta moved to the right, midfielders Andrea Pirlo, Gattuso, Ronaldinho and David Beckham remained unchanged in attack.
In the last defeat to Chelsea, Inter Milan's players suffered harsh criticism from the media and fans, and in this game against Milan, all the players did not dare to be careless, and launched a fierce attack on AC Milan at the beginning.
Before the phone gate, AC Milan has always had the upper hand against Inter Milan, even after the phone gate, AC Milan also won the Champions League once, only in the past two years, AC Milan has fallen into the upper hand.
Although the strength is not as good as Inter Milan, but the psychological advantage of AC Milan players has always been there, in the face of Inter Milan's onslaught, AC Milan calmly controlled the ball, Ronaldinho and Pato made a clever samba cooperation in the front, Ronaldinho attracted the defense and passed the ball behind Stankovic, Pato quickly followed, and shot angrily before Lucio blocked, and the ball flew straight to the bottom right corner of the goal.
Goalkeeper Cesar was very focused, and he flew to make a save and saved the dangerous shot with one hand.
Beckham played a tactical corner with Ronaldinho, and Beckham curled the ball into the box to find his striker Borienau.
Lucio judged the landing spot correctly and jumped before Borino and headed the ball out of the box. The ball flew into no man's land, and Pirlo, who was waiting outside the box to clear the ball, rushed over to get the ball and prepared to launch a second wave of attacks.
Pirlo didn't forget to look back and observe the situation around him when he was running, he saw that Gao Xiaodong was also running towards the landing point at high speed, he judged Gao Xiaodong's speed, and was ready to pick the ball past Gao Xiaodong without waiting for the ball to land.
Pirlo's judgment on the timing of the kick and the speed of the opponent is undoubted, the average player must have been picked overhead, but Pirlo's opponent today is not an ordinary player.
Even if there is no 20 years of professional experience given by the system, Gao Xiaodong is also a thief on the court, his judgment of the ball landing point is not inferior to Pirlo, although he ran fast at the beginning, he still retained his strength, when he was close to Pirlo, Gao Xiaodong suddenly accelerated, and the ball picked up by Pirlo was not over the top, and was stolen by Gao Xiaodong's header.
At this moment, Milan's two central defenders went to Inter Milan's penalty area to compete for the header, only fullbacks Jankulovski and Zambrotta dragged behind, seeing Gao Xiaodong steal Pirlo, Jankulovski and Zambrotta quickly closed in the middle to prevent Gao Xiaodong from smashing Huanglong, and the back Gattuso also quickly returned to the middle of the penalty area.
Gao Xiaodong saw that the two strikers Milito and Eto'o had started to run, and he continued to cut forward at high speed, drawing the two defenders towards him, and then suddenly sent Eto'o a long ball over the top.
Gao Xiaodong's pass was accurate, the ball went past Gattuso, who was running on the line between him and Eto'o, but did not give AC Milan goalkeeper Carraci a chance to attack and get the ball.
Seeing Gao Xiaodong's passing so old and spicy, Pirlo, who was on the defensive with his eyes, felt half cold, and with Eto'o's ability, facing Karachi with a single goal, it was almost inevitable.
Samuel Eto'o didn't waste a clever pass from Gao Xiaodong as he received the ball into the box and shook off the onrushing goalkeeper Carracci to send the ball into the empty net from a tight angle.
1:0
Just four minutes into the game, Inter Milan took advantage of the counter-attack to take the lead.
Eto'o was very happy after the goal, it was a derby goal, but this guy did not go over to thank Gao Xiaodong first, but ran to the stands to salute and force the army to salute.
Mourinho on the sidelines was very happy, he gave a thumbs up to the pitch and praised Gao Xiaodong's just right assist.
Mourinho is not afraid that Gao Xiaodong will not score, Gao Xiaodong's long-range shooting is quite good, shoot more, there will definitely be gains, he is worried that Gao Xiaodong can not organize, can not assist, can not connect the front line and the midfield, from today's pass, Gao Xiaodong's overall view, passing ability is still trustworthy.
After the goal, Inter Milan shrunk their formation a little and controlled the ball and counter-attacked.
AC Milan were behind and had to fight hard.
Inter Milan's three backs have been sharpened last season, although the central defenders Lucio and Cordoba have been together for a short time, but both of them are the kind of central defenders with strong individual ability, with three back protection, AC Milan's double striker Borieno, Pato and Ronaldinho The connection was cut off, and they could only rely on Beckham's side crosses, and there were few opportunities.
However, Inter Milan's counterattack has repeatedly won the opportunity to counterattack, Gao Xiaodong and Cambiaso have sent through and overhead passes, but the two of them and strikers Milito and Eto'o do not cooperate tacitly, either pass early, or run early, and fall into AC Milan's offside trap four times in a row.
After the break, coach Leonardo made substitutions, Nesta replaced the young Oneu, Abate replaced Pirlo, and Odor replaced Zambrotta to speed up the game and continue to attack Inter Milan.
Although Inter Milan led the scoreline, Mourinho did not forget the task of running in the lineup, replacing Eto'o with Balotelli and Santon for Zanetti to continue to threaten the AC Milan goal.
In the 67th minute of the game, Gao Xiaodong picked up the ball and passed it to Balotelli in the sandwich of three AC Milan players, who stopped the ball on his chest and turned and volleyed.
Balotelli's shot was almost 289 metres from goal, and it was not the right time to shoot at all, as the AC Milan goalkeeper was caught off guard and rushed to the middle of the penalty area, where Milito, who was actively running, arrived and slotted the ball into the empty net before Nesta.
2:0
Milito scored another goal to seal the win for Inter.
Seeing this goal, Villas-Boas breathed a sigh of relief and said to Mourinho: "Little Donggao is finally like a playmaker. ”
Mourinho was calm, saying: "He's always been a playmaker. ”
Although Gao Xiaodong did not score, he assisted a goal and created a chance to score, and his performance attracted the attention of AC Milan, and after kicking off again, AC Milan players continued to commit serious fouls on Gao Xiaodong, including the former world footballer Ronaldinho, and the referee showed Ronaldinho a yellow card.
In the 75th minute of the game, Mourinho replaced Gao Xiaodong with Vieira.
Gao Xiaodong was almost hacked out of the last game, and the excellent performance of this warm-up derby finally impressed the fans, and now the fans no longer ridicule them for spending 50 million to buy another Stankovic, and they gave Gao Xiaodong a round of applause.
The commentator at the scene sighed: "The 19-year-old Gao Xiaodong defeated the 29-year-old Ronaldinho and the 30-year-old Pirlo, we can't help but sigh, the world is changing so fast, three years ago these two superstars were still standing on the top of the world, now they are out of breath." ”
Abu, who was standing at the window of the box and watching, looked at Gao Xiaodong, who had attracted much attention, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
Five minutes later, Mourinho replaced Milito, who had scored, and replaced Quaresma, and the formation changed to 4321 and began to play defensive counter-attacks.
AC Milan attacked with all their might, but could not find a way to score, Inter Milan relaxed more and more, and then replaced Materazzi and Samuel to continue to practice the lineup.
With five minutes left in the game, Leonardo saw that the tide was gone, and he made successive substitutions, giving the youngsters a chance to feel the derby, and the game completely lost its suspense, and finally Inter Milan defeated AC Milan 2-0 in the warm-up game, drawing a perfect end to the training in the United States.
