In the final round of the Champions League group stage, Inter Milan lost 0-2 to Chelsea in London - Chelsea at home naturally played more aggressively, so they also sent part of the main team, while Dick sent all the substitutes, and even young players like Bonucci played in the second half of the half, from this point of view, Dick after the UEFA Super Cup said that "losing is also a good thing" is really quite right, if the previous unbeaten run continues, Dick probably didn't want to end his unbeaten run, so how could he not have sent so many substitutes to face Chelsea in this game, in fact? There is no point in this game, and instead of making it difficult for the main team to barely maintain this record, it is better to let go of this burden and move forward lightly.

Nothing happened at the press conference, the group standings were already sealed after the end of the previous round, Inter Milan won the group, Chelsea finished second, Betis still qualified for the League Cup with four points in third place despite losing to Anderlecht, who had lost five consecutive defeats, and Anderlecht returned home.

Dick returned to Milan with his players after attending the press conference, and in the other game, AC Milan defeated Schalke 04 with a score of 3-2 at home, and finally won the group with 11 points, while PSV Eindhoven also defeated Fenerbahce and won the second place in the group with 10 points.

This is a very favorable result for Dick, in any case, AC Milan's main players played an all-out game in midweek, and the main players must have lost some energy, not to mention the age of their main line-up, especially the backline, after such a game, it will definitely affect the weekend game!

The only thing that Dick regrets is that as the highlight of the round, Inter Milan's match against AC Milan was scheduled for Sunday night, so that AC Milan would have an extra day of rest - but as is customary, such an important game would definitely be broadcast separately, and Dick would not be unreasonable enough to feel that he had suffered in this regard.

As we get closer to this Milan derby, there is more and more interest in this game – now that Inter Milan have 32 points, AC Milan have 31 points, and Juventus are at the top of the table with 37 points, they naturally want to see Milan's two teams kill each other - preferably a draw so that they can take advantage of the situation and extend their lead again!

"What will Juventus think? I don't know, the league has only started now, and one game doesn't mean anything...... They do have a strong ability to grab points now, but let the main lineup play every game, and in the second half of the season, it will be our world. Our overall strength should be stronger, and we will not let go of this advantage. As for this game, we'll win, that's it. ”

Dick decisively began to pull up hatred when he was interviewed, and sure enough, someone in the opposing team began to jump out unwilling to be lonely......

"Dick says Inter will definitely win? You must know that if it wasn't for their iron bucket formation last year, their unbeaten record would have been broken by us a long time ago! Now we have a good chance, a chance to defend our unbeaten record, and in this game we will definitely beat Inter Milan and show them that AC Milan have set a great record that is not something that any team can break! ”

It was AC Milan's midfielder, Italy international Gattuso, who jumped out to speak, but it was clear that his words were not lethal to Dick at all......

"Last season? I just remember that last season we were league champions and we were unbeaten in a single season...... Those two draws? Any questions? It's just that we had a lot of games at the time and didn't want to get entangled with AC Milan. Of course, the great record set by AC Milan is not something that any team can break, and it is most appropriate for us to break it. ”

Dick's words made everyone hold their foreheads, this guy really pulled up hatred and spared no effort, just when the AC Milan players were about to refute, Ancelotti stopped them - he had long noticed that before the start of the important game, Inter Milan had always been only Dick, and the other players remained silent, AC Milan was already at a disadvantage in terms of physical fitness, and if it was entangled in this kind of thing again, then it would only be AC Milan who suffered.

And Ancelotti is also prepared for this game, although it seems that AC Milan is suffering from physical fitness, but after all, it is about to come to the winter break, such physical consumption is nothing, and the players played very well in midweek, and the state can be continued, Inter Milan's main force is constantly in rotation, Inter Milan has an advantage in physical fitness, and AC Milan is not higher than Inter Milan on the whole, and the two sides are also half a pound or two in terms of the strength of the main lineup, Although Inter Milan's substitutes are fierce, the game is played by eleven men on the field after all, and the bench thickness is enough, which is a big advantage for the whole season, but in a separate game, it is nothing.

The two sides were in full swing and the clock was ticking off – on Saturday, Juventus took the lead in a game, perhaps to put pressure on both sides of the derby, and they played very well as they swept Cagliari 4-0 at home to reach 40 points, eight points ahead of Inter Milan and nine points ahead of AC Milan!

Such a result puts both sides of the Milan derby into a win-winning situation, one side loses, then they will be set aside, if there is a draw, then both sides will be left behind!

Playing in such a situation, it is natural to carry more things - competition is not only on the field, Juventus, as the team with the most Serie A titles, is naturally already playing well in this regard, and this is not a conspiracy, it is a conspiracy, that is, these two biggest competitors must fight to the death in this game, fight to the death!

"Don't be a burden, everybody...... In fact, no matter how Juventus perform, we will have to fight AC Milan to the death in this game. The reason is simple, we are competitors to each other! So, focus on this game and talk about it! ”

Dick just said this before the game, and as for the tactics of the game or something, it had been arranged beforehand.

This game is the home stadium of Inter Milan in terms of schedule, so the vast majority of the fans present in the stands are Inter Milan fans, and AC Milan fans just occupy their traditional south stand, resisting the singing and shouting of Inter fans from all directions.

"Crazy Inter Milan", the new team song of Inter Milan, is also very suitable for Inter Milan after Dick became the owner, they can score a lot of goals in the game, can sweep all directions with offense, and the attack on the field is fierce like a tiger, such Inter Milan is indeed worthy of the word crazy!

"The players are ready to play! For this heavyweight derby, I don't think I need to describe it in words! Just look at the starting line-ups of both sides on the field to know how much importance both sides take this game...... Inter Milan's starting lineup was 442, goalkeeper Cesar, defenders Córdoba, Materazzi, Cannavaro and captain Zanetti, midfielders Mascherano and Sneijder partnered in the middle, Stankovic and Figo on the wings, and Perrotta was on the bench...... The forward partners are still the most powerful partners in Europe, Adriano and Toney. For AC Milan, captain Maldini has had some problems due to injury, with Stam returning from right-back to the middle to form a centre-back partnership with Nesta, with veteran Cafu at right-back and Karadze at left-back. Nesta had a fever before the game, and there were rumors that he would not play in this game, but in order not to lose two main central defenders in such an important game, it seems that Nesta still insisted on playing sick...... In midfield, Gattuso, Pirlo and Seedorf formed the midfield, Kaka burst forward, and the partners in the front line were Gilardino and Shepchenko, and Inzaghi was on the bench! Shepchenko wore the captain's armband for AC Milan, the first time he wore the captain's armband in a Milan derby! From the personnel point of view, AC Milan is indeed a little disadvantaged, especially in the backline, Cafu has rarely played this season, but because Stam returned to the position of central defender and put on the field again, Nesta played with illness, all of which made AC Milan fans full of worries! ”

In the chatter of the commentator, the players of both sides have already played, as the commentator said, AC Milan paid the price because of the poor play in the Champions League group stage before, when Inter Milan and Juventus began to focus entirely on the league, AC Milan had to be distracted in the Champions Cup, so that when the last three rounds of the league won all the games between Inter Milan and Juventus, AC Milan suffered two defeats, which directly led to Juventus being thrown away by the same score by six points, The five-point advantage over Inter Milan has become one point behind, and this situation is not only their bad form, but the slow start of the game, which has affected the current performance.

For Dick, he knows how strong this AC Milan team is, especially in the midfield, the combination of these four has dominated AC Milan's midfield for six or seven years, and at this time, they are not too old, and they can even be said to be very young, which makes AC Milan's midfield always very solid, and of course it also makes many other players lack the opportunity to play, such as Jankulovski, who performed well in Udinese, such as their local captain Ambrosini, Another example is the future French genius Gourcuff...... They are both excellent players, but AC Milan's midfield is too consistent to get any chance to play, so there is not much to achieve in the future.

Dick is also very attentive to this, so although Inter Milan's main midfielder is also very strong, he pays attention to rotation, Stankovic, Yaya Toure, Zanetti and others have been given a lot of opportunities to play, so as to make the whole locker room look more solid.

And in this Milan derby, Dick's confidence is quite large, because he knows where his team's advantage is, and knows where the opponent's advantage is - after last season's negative strategy of keeping the draw, this season's Inter Milan will face this opponent in the derby head-on!
