Chapter 662: Win the Derby

The goal was lost soon in the opening period, although it dampened Inter Milan's morale, but in the case of extremely good game time, the Inter Milan players were still very confident of equalizing or even reversing the game. After all, AC Milan have only one wind, as long as they can cut off the link between him and other teammates, the opponent's attacking threat will be greatly reduced, with the strong attack power of the first two rounds to score five goals, it is only a matter of time before they can break down AC Milan's not very solid goal.

But after the game restarted, Desiglio and Zapata, who were seen as the shortcomings of AC Milan's backline, made the Inter Milan players feel like they had seen a ghost.

Although Desiglio, who performed impressively at the beginning of his debut, was once hailed as the successor of "Maldini", as AC Milan continued to slump in recent seasons, Desiglio's ability has not improved significantly but has shown a downward trend.

As a result, Desiglio, who is not physically strong and lacks the advantage of speed, often becomes a breakthrough for opponents to attack on the wing.

That's why Roberto Mancini has Perisic on the left wing, who is known for his quick breaks, to tear apart Desiglio's right side of defence and deliver shells to Icardi, who is good at stealing points in front of goal.

However, when Perisic tried to force Desiglio with his speed advantage on the left side of the front field in the 8th minute of the first half, he was surprised to find that the opponent not only stuck the advantageous position of the inside line, but also did not lose himself in terms of speed.

Just when Perisic wondered if Mancini had given him the wrong order and hesitated, Desiglio saw the right moment to make a tackle directly from Perisic's feet.

Compared with Perisic, who is on the Serie A stage for the first time, Icardi, who has been playing in Serie A for 4 seasons, is already familiar with the abilities and characteristics of most Serie A central defenders.

Icardi may not be quick or have great dribbling skills, but the keen nose in front of goal has always been able to spot openings in the box before defenders can deliver a lethal blow to the opposition.

Although the experienced Zapata has a good frontal defensive ability, Zapata, who is not fast and physically inflexible, will be found by "opportunists" like Icardi who are good at finding openings in the penalty area.

However, no matter how Icardi changed his course and made frequent sharp turns, it was difficult to shake off Zapata's mark.

Even though Icardi was able to take advantage of the attacker's "first strike" to briefly shake off Zapata's marking, the "aged" Zapata was always able to take advantage of the passing time of other Inter players to quickly get close to Icardi and allow him to shoot in the face of interference.

In addition to Desiglio and Zapata at the back, the midfielders of Nigel de Jong, Kuczka and Keisuke Honda also performed well beyond Mancini's pre-match estimates.

While it's not uncommon for professional players to play at a high level in some of the more important games, it's scary to have five players from the same team play at the same time.

Faced with a sworn rival who was significantly more than one notch higher than the previous two rounds of the league, Inter Milan fans couldn't help but wonder if AC Milan had deliberately performed poorly in the previous games, so that the Inter Milan players could take it lightly and win the derby in the same city.

Although Mancini's first reaction to the simultaneous super-level performance of many AC Milans was also very surprising, Mancini, who had done a careful study of Fengquan before the game, found that it was not uncommon for multiple teammates around him to play at a super-level at the same time.

During Feng Quan's time at Atletico Madrid, whenever the team faced a strong opponent, as long as Feng Quan played, at least 4 or 5 of his teammates would perform at an over-level level in the game. As a result, Atletico Madrid has won almost all of the previous two seasons in a strong conversation.

"Could it be that this guy Wind will use witchcraft to help his teammates improve their strength?"

After a little thought, Mancini dismissed the speculation of "Witchcraft of the Wind Plenum", because when he was in charge of Manchester City, he had heard from the team's African-American foreign players that although witchcraft can temporarily gain strong strength, it can make people fall into weakness for a long time.

If Feng Quan really used witchcraft to improve the abilities of his teammates, then Atletico Madrid's results would not have been consistent enough to make opponents despair.

Of course, Feng Quan doesn't know any witchcraft, and the "super level play" of Desiglio, Zapata and others is naturally thanks to Feng Quan's [Great God's Light].

After a while, combined with the actual situation of the game, Mancini finally came up with an answer that was enough to convince himself: "Feng Quan alone can contain the attention of two or three opponents, greatly reduce the offensive and defensive pressure of other teammates, and indirectly improve their self-confidence." ”

…………

In the face of the opponent of "collective hanging", many Inter Milan players couldn't help but feel a sense of powerlessness in their hearts.

Defensively, it is difficult to completely limit Feng Quan's breakthrough even if he is a double defender, and once a nearby third person comes forward to help defend, Feng Quan will not hesitate to pass the ball to his teammates in an open position, so that Inter Milan's back line is always in a state of high tension.

If they can pose enough threat to AC Milan in attack, they may be able to reduce the pressure on the defensive end to a certain extent, but in the face of the "collective hanging" performance of Desiglio, Zapata and other defensive players, it is difficult for Inter Milan to even get decent shots.

If it weren't for goalkeeper Handanovic's explosive form and many blocked AC Milan's must-score goals in the game, I am afraid that Inter Milan would have been completely crippled before the end of the first half.

However, no matter how good Handanovic's form is, there is no way to do it without leakage.

In the 37th minute of the first half, Feng Quan suddenly burst into the penalty area along the left side and then picked up his right leg to shoot.

Just when Handanovic subconsciously moved towards Feng Quan's position in order to minimize the angle of the opponent's shot, Feng Quan did not choose to shoot, but passed the ball to the empty space near the penalty spot.

In the next moment, Mandzukic, who had been ambushed on the line of the penalty area, did not hesitate to risk being tackled by Medel and pushed the ball into the bottom right corner of the goal, 2-0.

In the 13th minute of the second half, after Feng Quan got rid of two defenders on the right side and cut inside to the edge of the penalty area, he was about to advance into the box when he was tackled directly by Murillo from the side behind.

Murillo originally thought that it would not be a loss to prevent Feng Quan from breaking into the penalty area and paying a yellow card. But what he didn't expect was that Feng Quan took advantage of his foul to complete a wonderful free kick and score directly.

Seeing that there was no hope of a reversal, Inter Milan players began to vent their dissatisfaction with fouls, and in just 15 minutes, four of their players received yellow cards for excessive fouls, and Juan Jr., who was a little out of control, was sent off the field with a red card for a retaliatory foul to tackle Mandzukic.

In order to avoid unnecessary injuries to the main players, Mihajlovic replaced Feng Quan and Mandzukic with Shaarawy and Niang in the 29th minute of the second half.

Although Feng Quan's departure reduced the pressure on Inter Milan at both ends of the pitch at the same time, they were unable to score a face-saving goal until the end of the game with one less player.
