On Inter Milan's side, Leon rotated the team.

He started Ronaldo and Borriello up front, with Adriano having a slight cold and Leon opting to rest him.

In midfield, Luka Modric was rested and Marchisio was given the start.

Figo was also rested, with David Silva starting.

Juan Mata rests and Stankovic starts.

At the back, Leon did not rotate too much, and Samuel and Córdoba's central defenders partnered to maintain Inter Milan's defensive strength to the greatest extent.

Inter Milan captain Zanetti started the game, but today Leon deployed Zanetti at left-back and Patrice Evra was rested.

McCone started at right wing-back.

In the goalkeeper's position, it was the veteran Toldo, who got the chance to start today.

At the same time, AC Milan also carried out a certain degree of rotation.

Inzaghi was rested, with Gilardino and Shepchenko up front.

The most important of these is that Kaka did not start, which goes part to show how seriously AC Milan are taking this game.

***********

This is perhaps the most peaceful Milan derby in recent seasons.

In the first half, Seedorf assisted Shepchenko's goal, and AC Milan led at half-time.

Not long after the start of the second half, Marchisio provided the assist, Ronaldo got past two in a row and smashed into the box and fired a low shot from a tight angle!

One-to-one!

Inter equalised!

In the ensuing half-hour or so of the game, both sides played more rationally and there was no major action on the field.

Leon also deployed troops one after another, with Aguero replacing Ronaldo.

Leonardo Bonucci replaces Samuel.

On the AC Milan side, Seedorf and Shepchenko were also substituted for the break.

Both Carlo Ancelotti and Leon are very well on hand at this time, with a 1-1 draw acceptable to both sides, with their focus on the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals in midweek.

When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, there was a wave of boos in the stands at the San Siro, and the home team and players may be comfortable with the 1-1 scoreline, but the fans are not very satisfied, and they naturally hope that their team can beat Inter Milan at home, adding to Inter Milan's blockage and avenging the away defeat.

***********

At the press conference after the game, it was also a rare harmony.

Leon even sent his best wishes to AC Milan for their best results against Barcelona.

Ancelotti naturally reciprocated the favor and sent his blessings to Inter.

Seeing such a harmonious scene, the reporters at the scene were a little uncomfortable, this is a Milan derby.

However, after the game, when the Italian media talked about this Milan derby, they also had to admit that a 1-1 draw was an acceptable result for both sides.

"Perhaps, what satisfies Leon and Carlo Ancelotti the most is that there are no players injured and they can cope with the semi-finals of the Champions League with the most complete line-up!" - these words of "Milan Sport" can be said to speak the hearts of the managers of both sides.

Only "Torino Sport" was very dissatisfied with this, sarcastically saying that Inter Milan lost their sharpness after winning the championship, and AC Milan did not want to forge ahead.

However, the sarcasm of the Torino was ignored by both Milan teams.

And then, the Turinese people didn't say anything anymore, because in the ensuing game, Juventus was forced to draw by Cagliari away, Juventus, who lost the championship, looked a little mentally exhausted, and was out of shape throughout the game.

***********

After the Milan derby against AC Milan in advance, the Inter Milan squad set off for London to prepare for the first leg of the Champions League semi-final against Arsenal.

On the day they arrived in London, the players were summoned to the conference room by head coach Leon after their lunch break to watch the game footage.

Leon showed the players clips of Juventus' two Arsenal contracts.

Juventus was easily eliminated by Arsenal, in fact, this is not the first time Arsenal has faced a Premier League team to lose, in last season with only fifth in the Premier League Liverpool, Serie A "boss" Juventus caught the opponent off guard as soon as it came up on the road, and the final score of 1-2 was not too bad, but after returning to the home field, facing Liverpool without Gerrard seemed to have no way, and finally accepted the situation of being eliminated 0-0.

Further back, in the 02/03 season, Juventus played Manchester United twice in the group stage of the round of 16, and it was understandable to lose 1-2 away from home with a full number of injuries, but it lost 0-3 at home! In the 98/99 season, Juventus and Manchester United met on one more occasion, drawing 1-1 away and losing 3-2 at home.

In addition to the giants of the Premier League, Juventus also played against Newcastle in the group stage of the round of 32 in the 02/03 season, although it was a 2-0 win at home, but against a team of Newcastle's level, Juventus also lost 0-1 away, it should be said that this is not a reflection of the team's true strength, Juventus does have "Anglophobia".

Of course, Leon is not trying to help Juventus solve the 'Anglophobia', he wants to use Juventus's defeat as a reference to remind Inter Milan how to face Premier League teams.

***********

Teams in the Premier League all have one thing in common: fast. The pace of the Premier League is the fastest among the top five leagues, and because of this, English players are not particular about and chasing possession. Technique can restrain power and speed to a certain extent, such as Barcelona's victory over Chelsea this season and AC Milan's elimination of Manchester United last season are classic cases, provided that the midfielder must be able to control the ball and pass it down, thinking that the essence of 4-4-2 in English football is to pay attention to the "Directly" after the midfielder intercepts If the midfield is not formed to intercept, the positional attack is more of a simple routine of rushing away or getting the ball down on both sides, and Mourinho converted Chelsea to 4-3-3, or 4-5-1, but the essence is still the same.

Arsenal are an alternative in the Premier League, they are particular about possession, but in Europe, Arsenal are more defensive and counter-attacking, and Capello admitted after the loss: "Arsenal's counter-attack is very characteristic. ”

'We haven't played against Arsenal, but it's not without references. Leon said.

"In Serie A, Roma are a similar fast-attacking team, so we can see that Juventus have never had an easy time facing Roma in recent years. ”

"Juventus' style of play is not about possession, and because of this, once the midfield concedes a goal, Arsenal's counter-attack will be fatal, Cesc Fabregas's first goal came from Pire's break from the feet of Vieira, and back to Juventus lost 3-0 to Manchester United three years ago, and the second goal came from Ryan Giggs's steal of Conte's pass. Juventus is afraid of the midfield pressing of the English team, afraid of the "direct play", not because of the lack of strength, but because of the characteristics. If Juventus hadn't been in a hurry to score away goals and slowed down the tempo, the result might have been better. Leon continued after commenting on the match between Juventus and the Premier League side.

"However, we are not afraid, because our football emphasizes ball control, ball control tactics, when attacking, it is the guarantee of goals, and correspondingly, when defending, it can also help the defensive line!"

"Arsenal have been hailed by the English as playing the most beautiful ball control football, and this time, we want to show the English what real possession is and what kind of football is the most beautiful!" said Leon confidently.

Playing Arsenal, he is really not afraid.
