The Milan derby, or "Notre Dame derby", features two protagonists from the Italian city of Milan.

One of the two football clubs is called "Associazione Calcio Milan" and the other is called "Inter Milan".

According to domestic translation customs, the previous Milan is usually translated as "AC Milan". There's nothing wrong with that, it's easier to play than to translate it as "Milan United". Another "Inter Milan" is a good explanation, the original intention of their split from Milan to establish a new team is to build a football team that can accommodate all rivers and belong to the whole "INTER".

So all along, AC Milan fans have been emphasizing that they are the only Milan, while Inter fans feel that they should not be limited to a small city or a country that has stepped into the Mediterranean.

In the history of both teams, there have been achievements that have made other clubs look so jealous that they will never be able to achieve.

AC Milan have won the Serie A, Coppa Italia, Italian Super Cup, Champions League, European Cup Winners' Cup, UEFA Super Cup and Toyota Cup (Intercontinental Cup); Inter Milan have won the Serie A, Coppa Italia, Italian Super Cup, Champions League, UEFA Cup and Toyota Cup (Intercontinental Cup).

Next year will be the centenary of Milan's founding, and in these ninety-nine years, both teams have had brilliant moments, and in those glorious moments, they have also beaten invincible opponents all over Europe.

Whether it is the era of the Three Musketeers of Milan, the era of Capello, or the era of Inter's Meazza or the era of Major Milan, two different Milans from the same city show the world that this historic city can produce two football teams with completely different styles and beliefs, but they can also win the European football team.

In the world, the two teams competed for beauty, and in China, it gave birth to the world's most famous Milan derby!

In fact, in Italy, there are at least six cities where derby battles exist. And only the Milan derby, which has become the most famous derby in the world, is not one of them!

Unlike the Rome derby, the Glasgow derby or the Madrid derby, the Milan derby is more like a tug-of-war within the family. It is a battle of honor, not a civil war! The reasons behind the Milan derby are not Zheng Zhi issues, social issues, or some religious division.

The Milan derby, just for honor!

In 1945, Moratti Sr. took over Inter and created an unrivalled era for the Nerazzurri. Fifty years later, Moratti's third son, the oil magnate Massimo. Moratti took over Inter and the first thing he wanted to do was to revive the glory of his father's time.

Since taking over Inter, the eager Moratti has been supported by Tronchetti and has begun to spend money on the transfer market to buy stars and build a club with luxury stars.

Ronaldo was bought by him at a sky-high price, and such a policy also gave Moratti a bit of "sweetness" last season. The UEFA Cup triumph has boosted Moratti's confidence, and he bought Baggio, who played for Milan, this season in order to challenge for the Serie A title. Think about it, if Inter Milan could win the title at Milan's centennial celebrations, which Milan would fans say would be the most authentic Milan for Milanese?

Inter's huge investment has indeed created fantastic combinations that dazzle fans, and at one point even played almost wonderful artistic football. Its technical aesthetic style has attracted the attention of fans all over the world, and even established a vivid image of flesh and soul in European football.

But Inter also has a lot of problems: there are too many foreign teams, and the strength of local players is weak, so Inter always lacks fighting spirit and stability, and always likes to drop the chain at critical moments. And this has gradually become a "cancer" on Inter Milan. is like the final championship between Inter and Juventus last season, even if Napoli where Acchulian is located gave Juve a fatal blow at the last moment, Inter still did not seize this God-given opportunity, so that they gave up the championship. You must know that in the first half of the league, Juventus was still far behind by Inter!

On the contrary, when Berlusconi took over Milan, Milan was going through a serious crisis. Not only is the team teetering on the brink of relegation, but the club is also on the verge of bankruptcy.

It was at this time that Berlusconi "took advantage of the situation" and bought most of Milan's shares.

And the subsequent Milan Three Musketeers and the Capello dynasty also proved Berlusconi's ability to operate.

But prosperity must decline, things must be reversed, after Milan "beat the invincible opponent all over the world", even if Capello returns to Milan, there is no way to change the team in a short time. In the past two seasons, Milan have not shown themselves to be a powerhouse that can be raced on the European stage.

However, Milan fans have a lot of confidence in the team, and they believe that the team will soon be able to regain its strength and dominate the team. This confidence comes from Milan's heritage: unlike Inter, who bought this and that in the past two years, Milan has never had a problem with "spiritual leadership".

It has always been essential for the Italian giants to be at the heart of their team. These leaders are homegrown players who have experienced the vicissitudes of the team, experienced glory and glory, and shared difficulties and lows. At the critical moment, they can stand up and play an important role in stabilizing the morale of the military.

Inter's "star tactics" have led to the absence of such a leader, and as long as Maldini is still on the pitch, no one believes that Milan will easily accept defeat!

In terms of fans, in Italy's official statistics, Inter Milan has 3% more fan support than Milan. But considering the fans all over the world, and if Chinese fans in Asia are also included, Inter fans dare not say that there are too many of them!

Or that Ou Chuliang alone is enough to fill in the 3%, or even completely exceed!

Ahead of the next round of the league, Sport has compiled a look at the recent meetings between the two teams.

Since the beginning of the 96-97 season, the two sides have met a total of six times, AC Milan 1 win, 1 draw and 4 losses, from the "scene" it seems that Inter Milan is slightly better.

But it is worth mentioning that in the Coppa Italia, the only victory for Milan in these six games, Inter Milan was kicked out of a humiliating figure of 5-0! As a result, Milan's 1-0 loss to Inter Milan in the second leg became "insignificant".

After making it clear to the fans that the two teams had won and lost each other, the newspaper wrote another report about the players.

In the long history of history, only seven players have played for Milan and Inter Milan, and they are Giuseppe. Meazza, Lorenzo. Buffon, Aldo. Bet Flavio. Kolovati, Aldo. Selena, Robert Baggio and Maucillo. Ganzi. One of the two common stars Giuseppe. Meazza has scored the most goals in a derby with 13 goals. Ganzi is the third player to move directly without playing for another team between the two teams.

Although Ganzi is now mostly a substitute for strikers at Milan, he has already scored goals for every team in derby. For Baggio, he faced his old club Milan for the first time after moving to Inter.

Another thing to look forward to is what role Ronaldo, who has just finished runners-up in the World Cup, will play in this exciting derby.

Since joining Inter in the 97-98 season, Ronaldo has played in all four derbies of the 97-98 season, including that humiliating 5-0 victory.

Ronaldo has scored just two goals in those four games, and all of them have been league goals.

Even aliens with such a high goal efficiency have no good way to win the derby, which is enough to see how fierce the Milan derby is.

And this season, the "Great Wall of China", known as the "alien nemesis", joined AC Milan, which has also become a highlight for fans.

Ronaldo has said more than once in front of the public media that if he has the chance, he will definitely break through the door guarded by Ou Chuliang, and the sooner the better.

Now the two have been able to meet in a high-profile derby like the Milan derby, adding another touch of sanctity to the duel between the two.

Although Inter Milan are still spending money this season, Milan has been trying to transform.

But judging from the long history of the two teams, although the two teams have their own ups and downs, it feels like you are singing and I am on the stage. But it doesn't matter which team is at the peak and which team is at the bottom. In the face of the sworn enemy in the same city, the current results, strength, stars, lineup, formation, equipment, coach, tactics, etc. are all in a "balanced" state, or they all return to "nothingness". When the players of both teams start to fight for glory, the so-called factors that can affect the situation of the battle all become floating clouds!

No side dares to say that it will win, and no side will lose lightly!

......

As with every derby, the game had not yet started and the fans of both sides began to attack each other.

On the roads of Milan City, fans in different costumes can be seen arguing and scolding each other.

This is already the norm in Milan, and although the fans are excited, they will have some restraint and will not make personal attacks or police appearances.

The day before the start of the game, after the Milan players had been training, Maldini called everyone together for a pre-match mobilization.

Seeing his teammates gathering on the sidelines one after another, Weah walked to Ou Chuliang's side with a smile at this time, and said heartily: "Ou, it's up to you in the next game!" ”

"Don't say that, Mr. George, you are a striker, a general of the team, and it is up to you to win the victory!" Ou Chuliang replied modestly.

For Weah, he also knows he is at the end of his career. In the past two years, Milan has been reforming, and he is also being marginalized a little bit.

However, Weah is very open-minded, and he also wants to stand up for Milan at the end of his career and complete the handover smoothly.

And Weah has already thought about retiring and going into politics, which he has decided after playing Napoli last season and negotiating with Ouchulyan.

So after Ouchulian transferred to Milan, Weah took good care of Ouchulian in the team. Under Weah's prestige, the other team members did not dare to behave in an extreme way towards Ou Chuliang.

Ou Chuliang can teach Weah the advanced experience of China's reform and opening up, and Weah is also considering whether to go to the first A in the last few years of his career, so that he can play football while integrating into local life, and make money while learning China's opening experience as a citizen, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone?

"Ou, I'm here to send you a top-secret document, do you want to take a look?"

Weah raised his right hand, holding a newspaper on the street for a dollar.

Since it is a newspaper, it cannot be "top secret".

Although Ou Chuliang had a habit of reading newspapers, he was also curious about the contents of the newspaper in Weah's hand.

After that, the front of the newspaper featured a photo of Ronaldo's rabbit teeth with the headline "Alien Fears".

"Ronnie?" Seeing that it was Ronaldo's report, Ou Chuliang was also interested.

After reading a paragraph as he walked, Ou Chuliang understood what was written on it.

After returning to Milan from a disappointment in the World Cup, Ronaldo was determined to make a big splash in the league. But during a training session in October, Ronaldo accidentally strained the ligament in his right knee and missed training and games for more than a month.

Seven rounds of the league have passed, and Inter Milan has won 3 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses, and is currently ranked eighth in Serie A. Although there are two wins and one loss in the group stage of the Champions League, temporarily ranking second, China has lost three games in a row in the league!

Lost 3-5 to Lazio, 0-1 to Juventus and then 2-3 to Bari in the last round of the league.

The team has such a poor record in the league that it is impossible not to link Ronaldo's injury absence.

"Inter Milan without aliens is no longer scary!"

"Inter Milan is all supported by aliens!"

"The aliens are not there, and Inter Milan has fallen to the dust."

This is one of the frustrations caused by Inter's lack of a spiritual leader.

The newspaper details Ronaldo's injuries in training and the subsequent treatment and changing doctor's orders, although Ronaldo has been discharged from the hospital and has undergone a period of adaptive recovery training with the team. But the newspaper published a "shocking news", the reporter learned through private channels with Ronaldo's attending doctor that Ronaldo wants to fully recover and return to the high-intensity athletic ability of football, at least into December.

And it's not yet mid-November!

In other words, the report of Ronaldo's "recovery" is fake, and for the derby, Ronaldo "desperately" got up and wanted to fight!

The newspaper did not give much credit to Ronaldo for fighting for Inter's glory, and the article not only pointed out Ronaldo's pain, but also analysed in detail how such an injury would affect him on the pitch.

What happens to him when he dribbles, what happens when he receives the ball, what happens when he shoots.

Although such a "technical post" is very unpopular, it still has some practical effects as a "top secret information" for Milan players.

For example, although Maldini did not have the upper hand in the four meetings with Ronaldo, he can find Ronaldo's "pain points" through this information, and then carry out targeted defense.

Ou Chuliang shook his head after reading the rough idea, and tore the newspaper to shreds.

'Ronnie's injury is not something to be happy about, from a footballer's point of view, we are not fundamentally different from him. I don't think if you and I get injured one day, we don't want our opponents to attack our wounds! ”

"Oh, I knew you reacted like this!" Weah laughed, "That Oliver guy made a bet with me that you would definitely take it as a guide, and if you got a treasure, you might have taken it down by now!" ”

Although Weah made a joke, Ou Chuliang was really embarrassed. Because he did write it down, but not with a pen, but with a brain.

But he didn't want to give it to Maldini, or Costacuta, Ayala and others, some of whom might have shoveled Ronaldo back to the hospital again with a kick on the field if they saw it.

In that case, Ou Chuliang would definitely feel guilty for the rest of his life.

"Let's forget about it!" Ou Chuliang shook his head, as if he wanted to shake out what had just been unconsciously put into his mind. During Ronaldo's injury, he only sent his blessing once by mail. Now that I think about it, after returning from China, I seem to have neglected this friend from the "rabbit tooth star".

"Oh, don't you crave victory?" The assembled team members were not far away, and Weah asked again.

"Of course I crave victory!" Ou Chuliang clenched his fists, "But I yearn for a victory of mutual respect!" ”

"You're right, Ou, if you want to defeat your opponent, you have to use our strength, not other miscellaneous things." Weah also nodded, looking at Maldini, who kept waving at him, and the two of them picked up their pace again.

When everyone was in place, even Zaccheroni and Hawke and the others stepped aside.

Although they are the coaches of Milan, at this moment, only Maldini, the captain, is the most qualified to stand in front of everyone.

"Teammates, I'm sure before you joined Milan you knew Milan was a great club!"

"There are old teammates who have been with me in the past, as well as new players who have just joined this season. But whether you've been here for five years or five months, I would say red and black for one day, red and black for life! ”

Speaking of this, Maldini glanced around with a sharp eye.

Ganzi was a little embarrassed because he had heard the same thing at Inter two years ago. It's just that the word "red" was changed to "blue" in that sentence. And he also believes that Baggio, who is on the other side at this moment, has the same mood as him.

'We've fought together this season for seven league games and three cup games and I didn't bring everyone together to make a pre-game declaration like I did today.

"Because I know you're an adult, a good footballer and you know what you should do on the pitch."

"But this time is different!"

"It's a war that has been going on for decades and for the Milanese we can lose everything but not the derby!"

"In the Milan derby, you have to win, otherwise you can't be happy!"
