At 7:40 p.m., Spanish referee González called the players from both sides out of the dressing room. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Chelsea players such as Drogba, John Terry, and Mikel all came over to greet Mourinho when they saw him come out.

"Mu Shuai is good!"

"Mu Shuai, I finally see you!"

"I'll definitely visit you at your house after the game!"

……

Drogba and others hugged Mourinho tightly, and the closeness was beyond words.

Ancelotti watched, his eyes imperceptibly revealing a hint of displeasure.

Mourinho couldn't help but smile when he saw Malouda, he knew he had guessed correctly, Ancelotti really sent Malouda to play left wing-back.

Gao Xiaodong saw Malouda, he also had the bottom in his heart, although the French international Malouda is strong and the attack on the side is very sharp, but he is not a fullback, Gao Xiaodong believes that his defensive ability is definitely stronger than Malouda, and his offensive ability to break through a Malouda who has not played a fullback should not be a problem, not to mention that there is a Zanetti behind him.

Coming out of the mixed tunnel, the Chelsea and Inter players were blown away by what they saw.

In the thunderous applause, in the shouting, there is a whole huge screen slowly descending from the stands on the first, second and third floors north of Meacha, and the huge banner is painted with the image of Ambrogio, the patron saint of Milan City, a 100-meter-high statue, the giant screen pattern is magnificent and intimidating, and thousands of flashing lights are also flashing at this moment.

Fans held colored bars to form two red cross flags representing the city of Milan, and then the blue and black background read "Who will dominate the city of Milan today?".

Who doesn't want to be a hero?

Who wouldn't want 70,000 or 80,000 fans chanting their name?

Who doesn't want fans to bow down to themselves?

The blood of the players of Inter Milan is boiling, this turf that they have walked through countless times seems to be completely different today, and the shouts of the fans seem to be full of magic, and they are all excited at the moment. Everyone wants to be the master of the city of Milan and Meazza.

After a group photo shake, captains Zanetti and John Terry exchanged flags and badges and picked the serve, while the Inter Milan players raised their hands to greet the fans in the stands.

At this time, reporters from all over the world turned their cameras on the superstar players of both sides, and the commentators began to introduce the starting lineups of both sides to the fans.

"Inter Milan today is a 4-2-3-1 formation: goalkeeper 1 - Toldo, back four 13 - McConn, 25 - Samuel, 6 - Lucio, 4 - Zanetti, two midfielders 19 - Cambiasso, 8 - Motta, three front three 20 - Sneijder, 9 - Eto'o, 10 - Gao Xiaodong, single forward 22 - Diego Milito

Chelsea fielded a 4-3-3 formation today: goalkeeper 1-Cech, back four 2-Ivanovic, 6-Carvalho, 26-John Terry, 15-Malouda, three midfielders: 13-Ballack, 12-Mikel, 8-Frank Lampard, and a forward three 39-Anelka, 11-Drogba, 21-Kalou

Today's Inter Milan's starting line has not changed much, the commonly used 4231 formation, the main force is all on the field, the only thing that worries people is that Inter Milan's double back is not tough enough, I don't know if it can block the impact of the monster Drogba, Lampard, Ballack, Mikel These fierce generals.

Chelsea's starting XI today was actually very different, Carlo Ancelotti rarely started with Nicolas Anelka, Didier Drogba and Kalou, and it looked like Chelsea were going to be ...... away goals.

Before the commentators could finish their presentations, the pre-match ceremony was over, and Inter Milan picked the goal near the North Stand and kicked off first.

In the VIP box, Moratti was a little nervous, but he only had Blanca by his side to talk to him and relieve his pressure.

Chelsea owner Ab Abou didn't like to watch with outsiders, so instead of sitting with Moratti, he found a separate box to sit in.

"Can we win this game?" Moratti asked Blanca.

Blanca said cautiously: "Chelsea lack a left-back, we lack a main goalkeeper, the two sides are half-hearted, it depends on the play." ”

Moratti sighed: "Our record against the Premier League teams is so bad, I don't know the bottom of my heart. ”

Blanca said: "Chairman, don't worry, Mourinho's adjustment to the team is good, not to mention that we still have strong reinforcements such as Xiao Donggao and Sneijder, and it is not certain who will die." ”

Moratti and Blanca were talking when Spanish referee Gonzalez blew the whistle for the start of the first half.

Milito and Samuel Eto'o kicked off in the centre circle, the ball back to Sneijder, who was back to Lucio, and by this time Chelsea's front three had already pounced on it.

Lucio crossed to Zanetti, and Zanetti did not hesitate to pass the ball to Gao Xiaodong, who retreated.

Inter Milan's thinking is very clear now, the positional battle will be passed to Gao Xiaodong, let Gao Xiaodong attack Malouda, the counterattack will be given to Sneijder, and let Sneijder pass the ball to the forwards.

The opponent is extremely strong, Inter Milan is fighting at home again, and will never allow the goal to be conceded, Gao Xiaodong did not press forward after the opening today, but stayed in his own half to meet his teammates.

Gao Xiaodong has retreated to his own half, obviously Malouda, who played full-back today, will not follow this position, and at this time to defend Gao Xiaodong is Chelsea's German midfielder Ballack, the famous king of Sanya.

Ballack, who is 1.90 meters tall, is not clumsy, he is tall and strong, his speed is not slow, the key is that he is physical enough to be able to run in two penalty areas, and he and Lampard and Mikel form a back group with excellent attacking power and strong defensive ability.

Gao Xiaodong received the ball with his back on the side, Ballack came from behind to force, Gao Xiaodong didn't dare to be careless, passed the ball to Mota, and quickly turned forward.

Motta, who was born in Barcelona, has a good consciousness and accurate passing, he saw Gao Xiaodong giving himself, turned around and inserted forward, and immediately made a two-by-one cooperation and passed to Gao Xiaodong.

Barak has a lot of experience, and when Gao Xiaodong turned to cut forward, he knew that this was going to play two over one, and immediately turned back to defense.

Left wing-back Malouda also saw that Gao Xiaodong and Motta had to make a one-two, and he moved forward quickly to prevent Gao Xiaodong from receiving the ball and breaking forward.

Gao Xiaodong's speed was fast, Barak's body hadn't turned around yet, and Gao Xiaodong had already passed by him like the wind.

But Malouda stepped forward in a timely manner, after Gao Xiaodong received the ball, Malouda appeared in front of him, he had no space to dribble the ball, Sneijder in the middle was guarded by Mikel again, and there was Ballack chasing closely, the situation was very serious, and a bad handling would be tackle and counterattack.

However, Gao Xiaodong is not a pure wing player, seeing that the side is not easy to play, he immediately cut to the middle with the ball.

Gao Xiaodong had a long-range shot, but Malouda didn't dare to let him go, so he hurriedly followed Gao Xiaodong to the middle.

Although Gao Xiaodong's task today is to be a right midfielder, Mourinho said that when Gao Xiaodong changes positions, his teammates must assist, and Sneijder saw Gao Xiaodong coming to the middle, so he had to run to the side and switch positions with Gao Xiaodong.

Sneijder's transposition was beautiful, taking Mikel away.

Just as Mikel left the middle, Gao Xiaodong immediately seized this opportunity and stuffed the ball straight to Milito.

Milito was about to make use of his three-plate axe, but centre-back John Terry was very close to Milito, and when the ball came, he immediately released a vicious tackle and broke the ball from Milito's feet, and Milito was also carried to the ground.

There was a round of applause from the stands, and although the ball was not able to form a shot, it was good to face Europe's toughest Chelsea to hit the ball into the heart of the opposition in the first minute of the opening minute and almost create a chance to shoot.

The ball fell to the feet of Frank Lampard, who bullied Inter's goalkeeper for the aging Toldo, and sent a long ball directly into the Inter penalty area to find his striker Drogba.

Didier Drogba is Chelsea's centre-forward, bridgehead, and his role up front is to ferry the ball to his team-mates and strike directly at the opposition's goal.

Because Drogba is extremely strong physically, with him in the opponent's penalty area, Chelsea never worry about how to dribble the ball through the midfield, a big foot past, find Drogba, Drogba leans on the defender, passes the ball to his teammates, and is immediately able to form a shot.

However, Lucio, the captain of the Brazilian team who defended Drogba today, saw the ball passing, Drogba wanted to ferry the header to Anelka as if no one was around, Lucio rushed over without showing weakness, and a header pushed the ball out, and his body inertia moved forward, knocking Drogba to the head.
