Inter Milan's away game against Siena has attracted the attention of fans around the world, and everyone wants to know if the Nerazzurri will be able to go on a winning streak after a two-week break.

Siena coach Decanio also said that a long lack of games would interrupt Inter's form and slow to score goals.

As it turned out, De Canio was only half right.

Inter's form was indeed interrupted, and the Nerazzurri were firmly at bay with Siena for most of the game, but they were never able to threaten.

In the 90 minutes of the game, Inter played only 10 minutes of good football, and that was the opening.

But it was precisely those 10 minutes that saw the Nerazzurri score three goals in the third, sixth and eighth minutes through Veron, Ibrahimovic and Cristiano Ronaldo.

For the remaining 80 minutes, Inter Milan were scoreless and could not threaten.

But in the end, the Nerazzurri won 3-0 away.

This has excited many fans and media who support Inter Milan, believing that the Nerazzurri are undiminished.

However, a number of media outlets, including Torino Sport, have hyped up that Inter Milan are starting to show signs of fatigue.

Also in the 18th round, Juventus narrowly beat Palermo 2-1 away.

Not long after the opening, Palermo, who were playing at home, were the first to break through the Juventus goal.

Sagnol, who had just moved from Bayern Munich, was put on the bench by Capello, and Zambrotta returned to the right, with teenager Chiellini on the left, only to be saved by Palermo for a mistake.

Soon, though, Juventus scored twice in a row, with Mutu proving his worth with a brace.

Although they finally got the three points, Juventus won very dangerously, especially the weakness of the two wings was once again exposed, which also made the Bianconeri fans cry for Sagnol even more.

Juventus conceded the goal first, and AC Milan also suffered a blow in the opening game.

The Rossoneri then came back from behind with an own goal, as well as goals from Gilardino and Kaka, to make it 3-1.

But then Parma fought back and pulled a goal back, and AC Milan played their best defensive counter-attack, and both sides scored another goal to make it 4-3.

At the end of this round, Inter Milan continued to dominate, followed by Juventus and AC Milan in third.

After the eighteenth round, the second leg of the round of 16 knockout rounds of the Coppa Italia was ushered in.

After returning to home with a narrow 1-0 win over Parma in the first leg, Inter Milan played more calmly, beating Parma 1-0 thanks to Cruz's goal, and then advanced 2-0 on aggregate.

Juventus, by contrast, have shown great quality.

Sagnol made his first competitive appearance for Juventus at right-back.

As a result, the Bianconeri beat Fiorentina 4-0 at home and eliminated Fiorentina with an aggregate score of 6-2.

More importantly, Piero scored a hat-trick and showed a surprising goalscoring form.

AC Milan won 3-1 at home in the first leg and played away to Brescia.

Seedorf and Inzaghi scored in the 15th and 31st minutes respectively to give AC Milan the lead.

But then Brescia launched a counterattack, and the Serie B team was not weak, and quickly pulled a goal back.

However, Rui Costa's goal in the early stages of the second half helped AC Milan extend their lead again.

At the crucial moment, the youngster Hamsik performed well, a sudden forward and created a penalty to help Brescia pull one back, and then Hamsik scored a long-range shot from the edge of the box in the 71st minute to level the score at 3-3.

AC Milan were almost forced to be very embarrassed, but Brescia still did not give up hope of qualifying, especially the youngster Hamsik, who was quite active and impressive.

However, AC Milan were awarded a controversial penalty in the 88th minute, which Rui Costa converted himself.

The final score was 4-3, and the overall score was 7-4, and AC Milan successfully advanced.

But after this game, the young player Hamsik, who passed and shot, attracted everyone's attention.

Especially when the media reporters dug deeply, they found that this young player was only 18 years old, which was even more like a treasure.

You know, in Italy, it's rare to see a young player who shows such strength at the age of seventeen or eighteen.

So media reporters and major teams have paid attention to the Slovak youngster, and found that his performance in Serie B is also quite good, and even many Serie A teams, including Juventus, AC Milan, Roma and Lazio, have paid attention to him, but the local media in Brescia suddenly broke the news.

It turns out that Hamsik has successfully transferred to Inter Milan!

In an interview with local media in Brescia, Hamsik also personally admitted the transfer.

"Yes, Mr. Gao Han came to Brescia personally, I am his most loyal fan, I want to play under him, I have no way to refuse his invitation, and he told me that I should improve myself as soon as possible, play on a higher and broader stage, to prove myself. ”

A brilliant performance against AC Milan, coupled with a halo of high cold blue eyes, made Hamsik famous overnight.

The 18-year-old Slovak immediately became a popular fried chicken in Serie B and the most talked-about young talent in the Brescia team.

The young player selected by himself unexpectedly became popular, caught Gao Han off guard, and had to come forward in person to protect the young player through Inter Milan to prevent him from being exposed to the media too early, and at the same time communicated with Brescia.

Since Inter Milan had promised to loan two young players in the team who were quite promising but not valued by Alpine to Brescia, the latter was also very active in cooperating with Inter Milan's requirements to ensure Hamsik's playing opportunities and game training value.

But teams such as Juventus and AC Milan lamented that they had missed such a talented youngster, and hated the cold of taking the lead.

It's not that Gao Han preemptively signed Hamsik, but just a few days before that......

And Inter Milan quickly drew Lazio in the draw after reaching the quarterfinals of the Coppa Italia.

Back in Serie A, ushered in the nineteenth round.

Inter Milan host Cagliari, who are fighting for relegation.

Gao Han once again lined up the main lineup, and in the 10th and 18th minutes of the first half, and in the 58th and 63rd minutes of the second half, with Cristiano Ronaldo, Ibrahimovic's brace, and Adriano's goal, Cagliari beat Cagliari 4-0 and won another victory.

Juventus sat at the Alps Stadium and beat Reggina 1-0 with Piero's goal in first-half stoppage time, and continued to bite Inter Milan tightly.

AC Milan were not so lucky, travelling south to Rome and visiting the Stadio Olimpico and losing 1-0 to the Red Wolves.

Three days later, the twentieth round of Serie A.

Inter Milan rotated again, beating Treviso 1-0 away and Recoba scored the winning goal.

Juventus also challenged Chievo away from home, but the game was controversial.

Chievo opened the scoring in the 20th minute, but Patrick Vieira equalised in the 31st.

After the two teams played hard, Chievo showed tenacity, paying the price of five yellow cards from the second half, desperately blocking Juventus' attack from the back of the net.

But in stoppage time, Trezeguet received an assist from Piero and scored the winning goal with a single shot.

The controversy was that Trezeguet was in an offside position when Piero passed the ball, but the referee did not notice it, which led to a protest by Chievo after the game.

But in the end, Juventus narrowly beat Chievo 2-1 and continued to chase Inter Milan.

AC Milan also came out of the predicament of defeat in this round, beating Ascoli 1-0.

Weekend, Serie A 21st round of the league.

Playing on multiple fronts in a row, Inter Milan once again showed good competitive form, beating Palermo 3-0.

AC Milan were also in good form, beating Siena 3-0 away.

On the contrary, Juventus, the state is still not very stable.

Sagnol's arrival did fill a big hole in the team, but the continuous battles after the winter break were also a great test of Juventus' bench depth, but Capello did not do a good job in terms of rotation.

Just two minutes into the game, Juventus lost a point when they were scored by Empoli.

The Bianconeri then launched a frantic comeback in the hope of finding the Empoli goal, but to no avail.

It wasn't until the 78th minute of the second half that Juventus equalized the score with a corner kick opportunity.

After the equaliser, the Bianconeri attacked more fiercely, hoping to score another goal and get the three points as soon as possible.

Everyone watching the game felt the determination of the Bianconeri, but until stoppage time, Juventus could not score again.

But just when everyone thought the game would end in a 1-1 draw, Mutu burst into the box with the ball and caused a foul on the Empoli defenders, and the referee did not hesitate to award a penalty, which Piero did.

At 2-1, Juventus scored another three points.

But in midweek, in the quarter-finals of the Coppa Italia, Juventus were not so lucky.

Red Wolves Roma had a firm advantage after the opening period, scoring three goals in a row to take the lead.

Although Juventus' Piero scored a brace later, he was ultimately defeated 2-3 at home.

AC Milan beat Palermo 1-0 at home and Inter Milan beat Lazio 1-0 away with Cruz.

At the weekend, the 22nd round of Serie A was held with four draws and eight stables.

Inter Milan beat Lecce 2-0 away and Juventus beat Ascoli 3-1 away to keep the two teams tied.

AC Milan dropped points once again with a 1-1 draw at home to Sampdoria.

However, the Rossoneri's bad luck did not stop, and in the second leg of the Coppa Italia quarter-finals in midweek, the Rossoneri suffered a 3-0 defeat at Palermo.

Juventus beat Roma 1-0 away to Roma, but eventually lost to the Red Wolves on away goals.

Inter Milan beat Lazio 1-0 at home and advanced 2-0 on aggregate.

So far, the four teams that have reached the semi-finals of the Coppa Italia are Inter Milan, Roma, Palermo and Udinese.

And almost all media reporters and fans believe that Inter Milan will have a good chance of winning the Coppa Italia.

But just when the smoke of the Italian Cup was not clearing, the 23rd round of Serie A suddenly set off an uproar.
