224 Pinnacle Milan Derby (1)

After Feng Jun's reminder, Chen Long also looked forward to it, of course, this is based on the premise that the national youth team recruits himself, then, there is no doubt that Chen Long believes that he can be selected with his own ability. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In fact, when he was still in Cesena last season, he received a call from Jia Xiuquan, the head coach of the national youth team, at that time, Jia Xiuquan told Chen Long very clearly that Chen Long would be a member of the national youth team.

I remember that at that time, it was the time when the national youth team assembled and prepared to compete in the Asian Youth Championships, because, around 2022, in Asian football, the strength of various national football teams in Chinese football is not bad, so at that time, Jia Xiuquan knew that the Cesena Club where Chen Long was located was at a critical moment of rushing through the pass, so he did not ask Chen Long to compete in the Asian Youth Championships, but told him that the national youth team had his place.

"I guess the call of the national youth team is coming soon, hehe, is it another continental competition?" Chen Long said.

………………

At the end of the vacation, the Milan players officially assembled to prepare for the third round of the league, and the third round of Milan this season is the highlight of this round of Serie A, because their opponent is ~ Inter Milan, which is the "Milan derby".

A few years ago, the once vigorous "Milan derby" might have been overshadowed by the decline of Serie A as a whole, but in recent seasons, especially this and season, the situation has clearly been different.

With the strong recovery of Serie A, Milan, which is also the two top giants of Serie A, has a rising strength in the team, and their respective teams are full of stars, and it seems that they have returned to the eventful years of the "Little World Cup" in the nineties of the twentieth century.

Then, naturally, both Milan teams, the clash between these two teams will become the focus!

Chen Long is looking forward to such a peak matchup, although he may not get playing time in the Milan derby, but Chen Longdou has always liked the atmosphere of the game when the big game is approaching and the smoke of gunpowder is filled, even if he plays the role of a substitute.

………………

Gunsmoke, sparks, bayonets are red, people turn their backs on their horses...... As one of the most prestigious and longest-running derbies in the world, each encounter between the Milan duo has captured the attention of fans around the world in a variety of ways. AC Milan have won more than 100 of the 262 Milan derbies they have played so far, but the Nerazzurri have shown high spirits and determination to fight to the end in every tough conversation with their city-side rivals. After all, no one wants to smash their own sign on their doorstep, which makes the Milan derby known how fierce and hot it is. Since the Inter Milan team itself is "split" from the AC Milan team, there is naturally a grudge and hatred between the two teams. Even though the two teams share the same stadium, each side uses its own name: AC Milan will call the home stadium San Siro, while Inter Milan will use the legendary Meazza as the home stadium. Even the fan stands of the two teams have a very strict geographical division, the south stand is the territory of AC Milan fans, and the north stand is the exclusive domain of Inter Milan fans

On October 18, 1908, the first Milan derby was staged, and in the "first close contact" between the two sides, AC Milan defeated the opponent 2:1 and welcomed the derby to a good start.

It wasn't until February 6, 1910 that Inter Milan won their first derby, sending their opponents to hell with a score of 5:0, and then AC Milan entered a winter that lasted for nearly half a century. After the start of the Serie A professional league, AC Milan won for the first time in the 18th derby, which is enough to see the difference in quality between the two sides at that time. In the 50s, AC Milan finally ushered in their heyday, and the combined efforts of Altafini and Schiafino brought them one title after another, and in the 1958-1959 season, AC Milan won the championship with just two defeats in the whole season. However, one of the two defeats was beaten 1-0 by Inter Milan in the second derby of the season, and Argentine star Angelillo beat AC Milan's chief striker Altafini to lead the scorers' charts, which also made the Nerazzurri soldiers and fans feel some comfort. In the 60s of the last century, the help of Mazzola, Suarez and other giants and the famous coach Herrera's miraculous use of troops gave the Nerazzurri the capital to compete with AC Milan.

In the 1962-1963 season, the AC Milan team won the first Champions Cup trophy for Italy in the European battlefield, but the foreign war hero lost to his opponent in the same city on the domestic battlefield and was relegated to the runner-up; In the 1963-1964 season, AC Milan and Inter Milan competed in the European Champions Cup, but there was no chance of going head-to-head. Looking back at history, it is not difficult to see that the suffocating Milan derbies are mostly draws or narrow one-goal wins, but in most of the uneventful scores, there are also famous battles such as Inter Milan's narrow victory of 6:5 in 1949, AC Milan's 4:0 victory in 1967, and Inter Milan's 0:6 defeat in 2001. From the first Milan derby to the 80s, the Milan duo were largely evenly matched, but since the 90s, the balance of Milan derby has tipped in favour of AC Milan. Since April 13, 1997, Inter Milan have never beaten AC Milan "at home". Eight years on, Inter Milan's embarrassing record of not winning a "home" derby continues, and it is unknown who can play the role of a savior who can change history in the crowded Nerazzurri camp.

Both Milan teams have a large number of supporters around the world. AC Milan is one of the most entertaining teams in Serie A, with the Rossoneri having won 18 league titles and are second only to Juventus in league titles. AC Milan's first title was the league title in 1901, followed by the solid Rossoneri team in the 50s to dominate the domestic arena four times, and the addition of "Golden Boy" Rivera in the 60s made AC Milan's reputation spread around the world. Since Silvio Berlusconi became president of the club in 1986, the elite AC Milan team has gradually developed into an impregnable supercarrier, with the Rossoneri invincible at the time with the golden defence of Baresi Tassoti-Costacuta Maldini and the charge of the Dutch trio up front. Thanks to the strength of the squad and the strength of the team, AC Milan almost swept the crown of every major competition in the second half of the 80s. From 1991 to 1994, AC Milan won three consecutive league titles and went on a staggering 58 league games unbeaten between 1991 and 1993. On the European stage, AC Milan are also a big player, with six European Cups, four Super Cups and two European Cup Winners' Cups making the Rossoneri an iron force both inside and out. After winning the European Cup in 2003 and the league in 2004, Carlo Ancelotti is looking forward to a new century of Milan's dynasty.

In terms of historical results, Inter Milan are slightly inferior to their city rivals, but the Nerazzurri are not a fuel-efficient lamp either. In the 1909-1910 season, Inter Milan won their first league title; The 1929-1930 Italian professional league season began, and Inter Milan went down in history as champions; In 1938 and 1940, they won the league twice. During that time, Inter Milan had famous stars such as Meaza and Nyers. In 1960, Argentine coach Herrera became the new manager of Inter Milan, and his arrival ushered in the "era of the great Inter" of the Nerazzurri. From 1960 to 1971, Inter Milan won the league four times, and in the 1963-1964 and 1964-1965 seasons, the Nerazzurri swept the world of football. In the 1979-1980 season, Altobelli became the absolute hero of the league championship in support of the Inter Milan team, and the 1988-1989 season belonged to the era of the German three carriages, with the charge of Klinsmann and the strategy of gold medal coach Trapattoni, the Inter Milan team set a record for the highest points in Serie A in the two-point era. It's a pity that the glory of 16 years ago was the last conquest of the Nerazzurri in Serie A. Due to the team's quick success, gains and losses, the Inter Milan team fell into a strange circle of high and low, and the infamy of "star black hole" has also become an unbearable burden

No, with the recovery of Serie A, the two traditional giants have made a strong recovery, especially this season, both teams are the favorites to win the Serie A. (To be continued.) )
