On 22 July, Inter Milan played their fourth warm-up game against Premier League giants Chelsea at the Rose Bowl. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although it was just an ordinary pre-season warm-up game, there were many highlights.

Jose Mourinho, who wrote a legend at Stamford Bridge, faces his former club for the first time since leaving office, while Carlo Ancelotti, a recent Blues, is once again meeting city rivals Inter Milan after eight years.

Gao Xiaodong, who is worth as much as 50 million, plays against a giant for the first time, what position will he appear in, central defender, midfielder, forward or forward, or even a new position.

Does Carlo Ancelotti play 433 or his preferred Christmas tree formation?

Will Mourinho continue last season's 4312 formation, or will he play the 433 formation that he likes and is good at?

Fans and journalists around the world are hoping to find out in this warm-up match.

It was the first major match between the teams of Europe's top five leagues after the start of the training camp, and the game also attracted almost 80,000 fans to watch the game.

Almost everyone thought that Mourinho would take this game very seriously, but when the starting line-up was released, fans and reporters were disappointed to find that the goalkeeper turned out to be Bellek, with first goalkeeper Cesar and second goalkeeper Toldo both sitting on the bench.

The starting back four were Zivo, Córdoba, Burdisso and Thornton.

World No. 1 right-back McCone sat on the bench, and Gao Xiaodong, who had performed well in the first two cameos, did not play back again, but returned to the forward position.

The other three midfielders are Cambiaso, Stankovic and Vieira, and the two strikers are Milito and Eto'o.

Chelsea have also changed their formation, neither 433 nor Christmas tree, but the traditional 442 formation in England.

Goalkeeper Petr Cech, back four: Carvalho, Terry, Cole, Belletti, four midfielders: Frank Lampard, Essien, Mikel, Malouda, two forwards: Drogba, Anelka

In the face of the powerful Chelsea, Inter Milan's backline discharged a substitute lineup, which made it difficult for fans to understand, Cordoba and Burdisso, one is 1.73 meters, the other is 1.83 meters, the two of them are very fast, but what do they rely on to defend Chelsea's high-altitude bombing? The Premier League team's housekeeping skill is aerial bombing, is Mourinho not ready to win at all?

Sure enough, from the first minute of the game, Chelsea frequently threatened the door of Inter Milan with headers.

The veteran midfielder Patrick Vieira was the most photogenic man, constantly battling headers and headers at the back, while Córdoba and Burdisso seemed to disappear from the pitch and no one knew where they were.

In the first 8 minutes, Inter Milan fans could still endure it, feeling that Córdoba and Burdisso were poor in air defense, but the speed was okay, the recovery ability was excellent, and they did not give the opponent a chance to hit the ball behind him.

However, in the ninth minute, Frank Lampard advanced forward with the ball in midfield, Cambiasso came to block, and Lampard made a long-range move, flicked the ball away from Cambiaso, and suddenly plugged a straight ball.

It was a penetrating pass that made its way through the Inter defence, where Drogba cut in at high speed, shook off Córdoba and Burdisso, and flicked the ball past the onrushing goalkeeper Bellec in the box, and crossed the ball in front of goal from the bottom line.

It was already an empty goal, but Gao Xiaodong, who retreated quickly, shoveled the ball out of the bottom line in front of the goal and defused a must-score opportunity.

Faced with such a defence, Inter Milan fans were furious, believing that Chelsea should not have been given such a good opportunity at all.

However, Inter Milan manager Jose Mourinho has been sitting firmly in the dugout, not having any dissatisfaction with the situation on the field, and has been talking about something with Villas-Boas next to him.

When Chelsea took a corner, Inter Milan's penalty area was another chaotic scene, and finally Gao Xiaodong's header went out of the box.

However, such a passive situation will certainly not last long, in the 14th minute of the game, Drogba 30 meters away from the goal of the right-footed curling ball long, the inattentive Belec reacted too slowly, the ball bounced to the ground and drilled into the dead corner, the score became 1-0!

The pot for conceding the goal must be carried by Inter Milan's midfielders and goalkeepers, because after Drogba came out, the division of labor between the central defenders and the midfielders was not clear, and Drogba's shot was not blocked at the first time.

Losing the goal made Gao Xiaodong very unhappy, although this goal had nothing to do with him, but this was the first time he represented Inter Milan against a giant team, and Gao Xiaodong didn't want to lose.

Although Inter Milan launched a counterattack, Gao Xiaodong first tested Chelsea goalkeeper Cech with a long-range shot, Gao Xiaodong's long-range shot was of high quality, but Cech was tall and long-armed, reacted quickly, and punched the ball out.

Soon after, Gao Xiaodong used his body to hold the ball and flicked it to Vieira, who had a long-range shot that was saved by Cech again.

Inter's most threatening combination was when Gao Xiaodong leaped high and headed the ball behind the Chelsea defender, but Samuel Eto'o ran a little faster and was ruled offside by the referee.

Chelsea then used a more tacit and familiar combination to take the initiative on the pitch and began to press Inter Milan to attack.

In the first half, Inter Milan was completely passive, with only sporadic counter-attacks, and although the score was only 0:1 in the first half, it looked like it was simply not on the same level as Chelsea.

After the break, there were extensive changes for both sides, with Inter Milan replacing Samuel Eto'o in attack, Balotelli, Cordoba, Samuel, Stankovic and Quaresma.

However, the second half conceded again three minutes into the second half, when Sturridge's cross hit Burdisso, and the referee awarded a penalty that Frank Lampard converted to make it 2-0.

This conceded goal hit Inter Milan a lot, the defensive action became bigger, and then the smell of gunpowder on the field between the two sides gradually increased, first Vieira flew to tackle Mikel, and then Lampard elbowed Burdisso, Gao Xiaodong's header almost stunned Carvalho, seeing that the minds of the players on both sides were not on the game, the referee increased the penalty scale, and it took three yellow cards to calm down the players.

Chelsea has a two-goal lead, but it is not conservative, they stabilize the defense, actively scramble, Inter Milan's attack is very chaotic, Gao Xiaodong has just arrived, can not pinch his teammates together, the attack is very scattered, more is a small range of three or two people with the cooperation, under the tacit defense of Chelsea, they have few opportunities.

Jose Mourinho saw the situation on the pitch very clearly, but never made any further adjustments, and in the end, Inter Milan lost the first warm-up game of the season 0-2 at the Rose Bowl.

However, at the post-match press conference, Mourinho was not happy at all, and after a brief comment on the game, Mourinho announced a big news to reporters, Bayern central defender Lucio transferred to Inter Milan.

Almost at the same time, the news of Lucio's 8 million euro transfer to Inter Milan has spread on the Internet, and the vast majority of people are shocked by this, the first is that the shock transfer fee is so low, and the second is that the speed of the shock transfer is so fast, there is no warning at all, Lucio suddenly transferred to Inter Milan.

Gao Xiaodong saw Mourinho reveal Lucio's transfer in the locker room, and immediately understood Mourinho's seemingly confusing intention to arrange the formation, it turned out that this was to hit the Argentine gang and let Lucio take the position.
