Among the three Serie A giants this season, Inter Milan has the strongest attacking power, Juventus has the most balanced attacking and defensive system, and AC Milan has the most luxurious squad.

Although they are currently third in the league, Inter Milan do not have enough confidence to win, despite the fact that this game is Inter's home turf.

'Inter's defensive problems are still unresolved, they have made a number of comical mistakes in defence this season, and they have struggled to keep a goal against AC Milan's attacking line. AC Milan's defense is much more solid, and the midfield composed of Pirlo, Gattuso and Seedorf has both hardness and strong ability to control the tempo, and should be unbeaten in this game. Shevchenko's injury is bad news for AC Milan, but the same Adriano is also injured and his availability on the pitch is still in doubt. "That's what Sport Milan thinks.

"We still have a chance to win the title, Inter Milan were 13 points behind before and they are slowly coming back," Ancelotti said stubbornly in an interview, ignoring the huge gap in points, "We will win one game at a time, starting with the next game at the San Siro." ”

'Inter Milan have been playing well lately and Roberto Mancini's side have regained the winning feeling. They are very strong, so they occupy the top spot in the standings. But that doesn't mean they don't have weaknesses, I've found those weaknesses and I'm going to play to them in the game. ”

'Ronaldo, along with Ricardo and Adriano, are in very good form and their goalscoring efficiency is horrible, but I'm confident the team will be able to contain their attack.

Captain Maldini claimed: "No one can boast of being able to completely freeze Ronaldo in a game, he is a real phenomenon and I think it will be difficult for us to stop Inter from scoring. But Inter also have some problems defensively and I'm optimistic about the outcome of this game. ”

"They're good friends of mine and I know them," said Kaka, who has been in a good season this season, "Ronnie is the number one in football; Adriano has the opportunity to develop into a striker who is not inferior to Ronnie, but has another type of style; And Ricardo is also underrated, but I will not underestimate him, he has the fighting spirit to never give up, and he has the ability to step up when it matters most. We're going to have a tough game but I'm confident of winning in the end because we have a good group of players and a great manager. ”

"We drew the last time we met, we had a lot of chances in that game but unfortunately we didn't take them," Shevchenko, who will miss the game due to injury, said in an interview, "but last time they didn't have Ronaldo. This time we will undoubtedly face more difficulties and Ronaldo is the best striker in the world. Adriano is a fantastic player, but he can't be compared to Ronaldo. Ronaldo is everything: strength, creativity and subtle footwork, while Adriano is a very strong striker who will prove in the future that he could be the world number one. But Ronaldo is still the world's number one striker today. ”

'As a defender, I think Ronaldo is the kind of striker you don't want to play at any time because he has the potential to do miracles at any time,' said the veteran Costacuta, who has been on the bench for most of the time, "and if we want to win, we have to find a way to limit him." ”

Mancini commented: "Inter are on the right track, we will give it our all, Milan are strong and very balanced, they won the Serie A last season and I don't expect an easy win in this game. ”

'The players are always excited about a game like this and I'm expecting them to play well. Ronnie is unstoppable and I'm sure he can score in the game. Ricardo has been in very good form lately, starter? Perhaps, I'll think again. ”

Ricardo was also interviewed: "It's a shame to miss the last leg of the Milan derby, I'm eager to play AC Milan again. The last time I played against AC Milan was in the Toyota Cup and my team won. ”

It's time to fight Kaka again, and Ricardo is excitedly looking forward to it.

After coming to Milan, everyone was busy, and he and Kaka didn't have many opportunities to meet. However, the friendship between the two continues, and they talk on the phone from time to time, and occasionally find time to sit down at a café for a few conversations.

Kaka's development at AC Milan has been very smooth, much smoother than that of Licardo at Inter. He has already secured his position as the absolute main force at AC Milan, while Ricardo has not yet secured his position at Inter Milan, despite having started many times.

It's not that Kaka is better than Ricardo, but Kaka is better suited to AC Milan's current tactical system, and Ricardo hasn't quite figured out what role he should play in the team.

Personally, he just wants to be a good assistant to Ronaldo, but Mancini demands more from him.

This Milan derby not only attracted the attention of Inter Milan and AC Milan fans, but also attracted the attention of Juventus fans.

If Inter Milan are beaten or held to a draw by AC Milan in this game, it will be a good chance for Juventus to catch up in the standings.

In the afternoon's match, Juventus beat their satellite Siena 3-0 to move up to 56 points and move up to top of the table.

Speaking after the game, Capello said: "Now the pressure is on Inter's side and we've done everything we had to do. ”

Asked by reporters to predict the outcome of the match, Capello smiled: "I think the score will be 1:2 and AC Milan will win. ”

AC Milan have fallen too far behind and even a win now is not a big deal.

And if Inter Milan lose, Capello is confident that Juventus' lead will continue.

On the evening of February 27, at the San Siro Stadium – no, Inter fans prefer to call it Meazza if it's Inter Milan's home game – were already packed.

In total, more than 70,000 fans came to the stadium, including around 50,000 Inter Milan fans and more than 10,000 AC Milan fans.

The south stand is occupied by red and black, and the rest of the stands are occupied by blue and black.

The Milan duo will once again present a pinnacle showdown for the world. When it comes to the Milan derby, all words are discolored. Let's use the data.

This match is the 259th derby match between the two teams in history. AC Milan have won 99 of the first 258 derbies.

In the 140-game history of Serie A, Inter have won 49 times and scored 99 goals.

AC Milan is only a stone's throw away from "100 wins" and Inter Milan is just a stone's throw away from "100 goals".

In Serie A, the two sides have played 140 games in history, with Inter Milan having an advantage of 49 wins, 48 draws and 43 losses, scoring 195 goals and conceding 186 goals; Among them, 22 wins, 27 draws and 21 losses at home have the upper hand, scoring 99 goals and conceding 97 goals.

However, since the 00-01 season, Inter Milan have had an embarrassing winless run against AC Milan in the league. Among them, the home team in the 00-01 season lost 0-6, and even Ronaldo could not save Inter Milan's poor form during that period. In the first leg of this season, Inter Milan drew 0-0 away from AC Milan, so the outcome of this game is still unpredictable.

DeSantis, a well-known referee in Italy, officiated the match. Ricardo was wary of the name, because in another time and space, the referee was seen as the main referee involved in the phonegate scandal, having been banned for four and a half years, and he had repeatedly made decisions in Juventus' favour.

Although Inter Milan does not need to face Juventus in this game, DeSantis may also make some controversial decisions against Inter Milan, allowing AC Milan to drag Inter Milan back and make it easier for Juventus to benefit.

"Daddardo," said Ricardo as he waited for kick-off in the centre circle, "watch out for this referee." ”

"What?" Ronaldo was inexplicable.

"Anyway, be careful. Don't ask for a yellow card, and don't fall if it's not necessary. ”

"What are you talking about?"

Licardo was speechless for a moment. "Forget it, when I didn't say it, let's concentrate on the game."
