Ricardo didn't take Kaka's words to heart. If Kaka could defend, the sow would also go up the tree.

But Kaka did.

In the 59th minute, Ricardo picked up the ball at the edge of the penalty area, shook off Gattuso, who was defending him head-on, and was about to shoot at goal, but Kaka pushed him down from behind.

"Tick!" Domenik ran up, awarded a free-kick and verbally warned Kaka.

Kaka stretched out his hand to help Licardo up with an expressionless face, and Ricardo said with a smile: "Why bother, give us a free kick in such a good position." ”

"It's not in your range." The ball is at least 30 meters from the goal.

"But it's within Ade's range."

Kaka was speechless.

Adriano smiled and picked up the ball and set it up carefully. Dida was a little nervous about setting up the wall, and as a team-mate for the national team, he was well aware of Adriano's threat from this position.

Adriano has a strong body and can shoot long-range shots and free-kicks like cannonballs, and his first goal for Inter Milan was a long-range free-kick against Real Madrid in the warm-up game, which amazed the whole of Europe at the time.

Ricardo was ambushed in the box. Adriano's shot was too powerful and could easily cause the goalkeeper to get out of his hands.

The referee blows the whistle. Adriano slammed his left foot into the ball, which rose off the ground like a cannonball, and spun violently over the wall to the bottom right corner. Dida made a nice side pounce to keep the ball out.

But before it was over, Ricardo, who was ambushed in the penalty area, started quickly, shook off Simic who was marking him in an instant, and gently pushed the ball in the opposite direction.

"Ricardo Goal! It was his 12th league goal of the season! In the 55th minute, Inter Milan took the lead again! ”

With those 12 goals, it took Ricardo just 15 games and he is currently the top scorer. After Ronaldo dominating the scorer charts for a few seasons, is it now his brother's turn to dominate the scorers' charts? ”

"The 19-year-old Ricardo is already one of the top scorers on the planet!"

AC Milan, who were behind, were forced to press out and attack aggressively. However, this also gave Inter a lot of opportunities to counter-attack.

In the 62nd minute, Gattuso broke through on the right and crossed from the bottom, and Zanetti grabbed the ball in front of Shevchenko at the back post to push the ball off the line.

After AC Milan took a corner kick and the ball was headed out by Inter, Ricardo ran 40 metres to Adriano, who fired a left-footed shot wide of the far post.

In the 68th minute, Kaka volleyed with his right foot from 25 meters from the goal on the left side, and the ball was hit by Córdoba's header to the far post!

Inter soon returned the favor with a quick counter-attack, with Ricardo dribbling down the right flank and handing the ball to Figo, who slipped the ball to Stankovic, whose shot grazed the crossbar.

Carlo Ancelotti made a second substitution at this point. He strengthened the attack by replacing Gattuso with Jankulovski.

In the 72nd minute, Serginho crossed low from the left, and Gilardino shoveled a right-footed shot from 3 yards out in front of the goal, but Cesar was ready to hold the ball firmly.

He counter-attacked with a hand-tossed ball, Cambiaso handed the ball to Ricardo, who ran wildly down the wing, but just past the centre circle, he gave the ball to Adriano in the middle, jumped twice on one foot, and then fell to the grass. Inter's attack didn't come out in the end, AC Milan kicked the ball off the touchline, and the Inter team doctor came on and quickly checked for Ricardo.

"Where does it hurt?"

"Here." Ricardo was lying on his back on the ground, feeling like he had strained his thigh muscles.

He didn't get enough rest at the end of last season, and this season he has been playing on two fronts so much that his muscles are already tired and on the verge of striking.

Hopefully, the wound won't linger.

"You need to rest." After the team doctor finished speaking, he helped Licardo off the field and made a substitution gesture to Mancini.

Mancini went over to comfort Ricardo and then replaced him with youngster Martins.

Ricardo was in a calm mood and watched the game while applying ice.

In the 78th minute, Vieri, who played for Inter last season, replaced Gilardino in the last substitution Ancelotti made.

Boos erupted in the stadium, and the North Stand fans were not hostile to Vieri, even if he moved to his city rivals. The point is that Vieri, after switching to AC Milan, made some inappropriate remarks to the media, shelling Moratti, shelling Mancini, blaming Inter's dressing room faction, which of course angered the fans in the North Stand.

In the 80th minute, Vieri leaned on Samoel and crossed, and Kaka struck a cold arrow from 16 meters in front of goal, and the ball hit Córdoba's leg and went wide of the far post. In the 80th minute, Vieri's long-range shot was blocked by Cambiaso.

Seeing that AC Milan were attacking too much, Mancini made a decision that seemed wrong in hindsight, and he replaced Figo with Burdisso to strengthen the defence.

In the 83rd minute, Veron fouled Pirlo, Pirlo took the free kick himself, he passed the ball into the Inter Milan penalty area, Stam jumped high, hit the goal with a header, the football smashed on the turf and rebounded, past Cesar's fingertips, and the score became 2-2!

Inter Milan, of course, were not willing to accept the three points in their hands to become one point, and they attacked in a big way.

In the 88th minute, Cambiaso unleashed a long pass close to 60 meters from the back, Kaladze made a mistake in interception, Adriano burst into the penalty area with a single knife, and when his body was about to lose his balance, his left-footed push was incredibly wide of the left post and missed a great chance.

But he quickly made amends, as Stankovic headed in a corner in stoppage time and Adriano struck a powerful header past Dida to give Inter the lead again. The score became 3-2! Inter Milan scored three points in the final moments.

No matter how many games Adriano has lost this season, at least this one, he has become a hero.

In his post-match press conference, Carlo Ancelotti expressed his disappointment: "We gave everything in this game, the lads played well and we should have taken at least a point. ”

'There was no problem with the penalty and I think Messina made a fair decision. But on the other few occasions, I had a different opinion. No, I'm not going to complain, misjudgments are part of football. ”

Mancini expressed optimism about Ricardo's injury: "If Ricardo hadn't been injured, I'm afraid the score would be 4:2. He's very good, he caused too much trouble before he got off the pitch. He'll be back, he's strong, he's got over all injuries. It was a fantastic game and Adriano should enjoy tonight's performance. ”
