Speaking of which, AC Milan's recent situation is really a bit miserable.

Last season was their pinnacle and without Jamie Vardy they would have been Champions League winners.

But after the setback in front of Jamie Vardy and Manchester United, Milan's form is really getting worse day by day.

If you don't look at the Serie A standings, you will be joking when you tell you that Milan are now in 12th place.

But that's just the way it is, Milan didn't even make it into the top 10.

After winning away at Genoa in the first round, Milan suffered a five-game winless run, drawing four and losing one, and almost fell into the relegation zone.

In the seventh round, he just beat Lazio, but then lost two games in a row, and it was not until the tenth round that he barely stabilized.

In the last round of the league, Milan was forced to draw at home by Juventus, so far, Milan is just 12th in the standings with one round less.

This is probably the toughest season for Milan in a long time.

However, Milan were as strong as ever in the Champions League, easily qualifying from the group stage and reaching the round of 16.

A rather unstable AC Milan met the booming Inter Milan, which was enough to make the world-famous Milan derby attract attention, and it was hyped up before the game.

As the hottest derby in world football at present, there are too many topics in the confrontation between the two Milans in the century, and it is even a thick history book to write.

Even if the current form of the two teams is not comparable at all, but on the battlefield of the Milan derby, then no difference seems to exist, and the word derby will keep the two teams on the same level forever, and then go to the death.

Will this game be a strong Inter Milan to continue to maintain a strong momentum, or AC Milan to sweep away the decline and snipe Inter?

And the other gimmick is another duel between Vardy and Kaka.

In last season's Champions League final, the two giants faced off for the first time, and the final result was that Jamie Vardy led Manchester United to lift the Champions League Big Ears Cup, and Kaka and his AC Milan could only hate the final.

In the just-concluded Mr. Double selection, Vardy defeated Kaka by an extremely clear advantage and became the first Mr. Double in world football.

Will the successive defeats arouse Kaka's fighting spirit?

Will Kaka prove himself with his best performance in this game?

Clearly, though, the pro-Inter and Vardy voices are now too dominant because what they have shown is somewhat chilling.

Jamie Vardy's form is certainly as good as ever, leading the scorers charts with 18 goals in 16 league games, scoring an astonishing goalscoring efficiency, and Inter Milan are unbeaten this season, with just one draw in the league and smiling at the top of the table.

In comparison, Kaka and Milan are a bit miserable.

Kaka has been far less effective this season than he was last season, with just three goals on his record so far in the league and eight in the same period last season.

Kaka's downturn is just a microcosm of Milan's downturn, and Milan's sinking in Serie A across the continent is by no means such a simple thing.

Both sides sent out their strongest line-ups, and Vardy almost lost his joy as he stood in the tunnel.

Compared with last season's Champions League final, the Milan lineup has not changed at all, and it is all old acquaintances.

Inzaghi was up front, Kaka and Seedorf were in ambush, and Gattuso and Ambrosini were on the back line to protect Pirlo.

In last season's Champions League final, Manchester United won it very easily, and the absence of Cristiano Ronaldo made Manchester United's forward line one less explosive point, and Vardy took on more responsibilities and obligations.

But now at Inter, Jamie Vardy is undoubtedly much easier.

If you simply compare the lineup, Inter Milan is actually stronger than Manchester United, at least Vardy will never feel alone, a strong midfield, enough for Inter to suppress the vast majority of opponents head-on, to provide more support to Vardy.

So, having won the Champions League final, Vardy now has no reason to lose to Milan.

Because they had just chatted for a long time at the FIFA annual awards ceremony, Vardy and Kaka are not strangers, and it is reasonable to say hello in the players' tunnel.

Although the system has not issued a task to harass Kaka, can't Vardy actively harass him?

So Vardy grinned and headed for Kaka again.

Seeing Vardy walking towards him, Kaka couldn't help but shudder, feeling the fear of being dominated by Vardy's embrace.

Stop!

No!

Stop!

It's okay to have a handshake, but it's definitely not okay to hug!

Goosebumps fall to the ground!

Waving his hand like a shy girl refusing to strike up a stranger, Kaka's movements embarrassed Vardy.

I didn't want to do anything to you, look at what scared you!

If you don't hug it, you won't hug it!

The small actions of the two people made the other team members on both sides laugh, according to the reason, the height is unbearable, and people at their level should cherish each other, but the two of them are really like enemies.

No wonder the media are calling for the duo to form a CP, if the two are really together, it must be very interesting!

If Vardy and Kaka are together, it is possible to dominate football.

However, at the moment, it seems that there is little possibility that the two will fight side by side.

AC Milan will never sell Kaka to their arch-rivals Inter, they can't afford to buy Jamie Vardy, and even if they wanted to, Inter wouldn't sell it.

This is not a possibility unless a super-big club packs both of them away from Serie A at the same time.

It seems that the only person who can operate this kind of large-scale operation is Florentino, who was once at the helm of the Galaxy Battleship, and the current chairman Calderon does not have such courage.

Since you can't see the two fighting hand in hand, you can only watch the two face off at the peak.

Speaking of which, AC Milan's main squad is not too far behind Inter, but they have struggled so much in the league because of their inconsistent form and the depth of the bench on the other.

Looking at the substitutes sitting on the bench in Milan, Vardy knew one Gilardino and none else, which is telling.

The gap between the substitute players and the main players is too big, and the head coach can only die grass the main players, no rotation and no rest, and the state of the main players is guaranteed!

After the start of the game, Milan, who were playing away, did not be conservative, but engaged in a fierce battle with Inter in midfield.

Kaka is very active, and perhaps it was Jamie Vardy who took the World Footballer of the Year trophy in front of him that stimulated him, and he seemed to be back to his peak form.

Frequently retreat to receive the ball, and then use the way he is best at rushing forward, and the flexible getaway in the high-speed sprint makes the Inter midfield defenders very uncomfortable, as long as he is given space to sprint, there is no way to defend him well.

Just five minutes into the game, Kaka had a brilliant run and eventually fired into a shot that threatened the Inter goal.

Defensive defender Patrick Vieira could no longer keep up with Kaka's footsteps, and could only rely on Cambiaso's close marking of Kaka to limit it slightly.

Kaka is full of fighting spirit!

Vardy also came to be interested, although this game is a much-watched Milan derby, but with the poor form of Milan and Kaka, Vardy thought that this game would not have too many waves, and Inter would easily win the derby.

But now it seems that Kaka does not agree.

It's kind of interesting!

If you take out a comprehensive comparison of Kaka and Vardy, it seems that there is a lot in common between the two.

Kaka is good at long-distance running, and Vardy is also good at it;

Kaka's long-range shots are staggering, and Vardy is known as a heavy gunner;

Kaka can take the rank of general among the hosts, and so can Vardy;

......

So, what Kaka can do, Vardy can do most of it.

What Kaka can't do, Vardy can do.

Don't you like to drop back to catch the ball and suddenly cut forward, then I'll give you a more standard one.

Vardy was whetted by Kaka's desire to fight and actively began to retreat.

His team-mates saw Vardy's movement and understood what he meant, so Vieira didn't hesitate to pass the ball to Vardy.

After receiving the ball and turning, he directly brushed Ambrosini who rushed forward, gently flicked the ball forward, and started his own sprint with the ball.

The momentum of Vardy's impact made the defense of Milan's entire central and backfield suddenly stagnant, Gattuso had no idea of grabbing at all, turned around and ran to his own penalty area, rather than rushing to be passed, it is better to press Vardy's sprint space in the penalty area!

Pirlo's tackle didn't slow down Vardy's sprint, and an understatement smash allowed Pirlo to dodge past.

Vardy admits that Pirlo is a master of playmaking, but defensively, he is really scumbag.

In the blink of an eye, Vardy had already rushed to the front of the Milan penalty area amid the sudden cheers of the home fans, where Gattuso and other defenders were already waiting for him.

If it is replaced by the past, then Vardy must be strong on his own, although it is possible that the ball will be broken, but the striker will have to move forward, right?

But now it's different, he has a well-matched team-mate at Inter Milan, and he can provide him with more support than he did at Manchester United, and he can threaten the opposition in more ways.

It's as if right now, Ibrahimovic is tangling with Nesta in the six-yard box, Cambiaso is taking Kaladze at the back post, Figo and Stankovic are both on top to help him attract firepower, in fact, Gattuso is the only one who really defends Vardy in front of him.

However, Vardy didn't come back and made a shot that turned into a straight shot, cutting through the AC Milan defence from the gap between Nesta and Odor.

Figo sprinted quickly to get the ball in the six-yard box and lifted his left foot to shoot.

Otto struggled to raise his foot to block, but he didn't expect Figo to lightly buckle and wipe Otto.

The former World Footballer of the Year did not waste such a good opportunity, and his volley from a tight angle in the small box went straight to the door guarded by Dida.

In the 15th minute of the first half, Inter led AC Milan 1-0 at home.
