It was a beautiful goal, with Jamie Vardy's scalpel-like through ball setting up Figo's opener.

The Inter fans in the stands screamed with excitement, this is a collaboration between two world footballers, although one is at the end of his career, and the other is rising, but they are so compatible.

Figo hugged Vardy excitedly, thanking Vardy for his assist, this ball Vardy could come directly, but he chose to pass it to himself, and he finally lived up to it.

Figo has already entered the time to enjoy football, and to be able to score a goal in the much-anticipated Milan derby is definitely the perfect feast at the end of his career.

Jamie Vardy was celebrating with Figo, but he was also reflecting on whether he should also improve his ability to pass the ball.

Although it seems that his through ball just now is beautiful, he himself knows very well that he is a little bit of a big pass.

If the strength is just right, Figo doesn't need to make any extra moves just now, and he can hit the goal directly, but because he passed a little bigger, Figo can only choose to smash the ball and wipe the opponent's defender and then hit the goal.

Sometimes the opportunity is fleeting, and a single extra move can lead to the end of the attack.

If the Milan defence had been more alert just now, or someone had quickly made up for it and Figo couldn't shoot, wouldn't Inter have wasted this great opportunity to score?

Therefore, improving the ability to pass the ball should also be on the agenda.

After the celebration, the game resumed, and Inter Milan's morale swelled quickly because of the goal, directly pressing down on the Milan half, and the stormy attack overwhelmed Milan.

At this time, Kaka can only go back to participate in the defense, because his "stride meteor" can no longer play a role.

Although Kaka's long-distance run is amazing, it is not as good as Vardy's explosiveness, and it is not so easy for Kaka to shake off him to receive the ball under Cambiaso's close marking, and Milan also struggle to get the ball.

In the 19th minute of the first half, with Cambiasso marking Kaka, Vieira rushed up and hit a long shot, but this long-range shot ended up hitting the plane;

In the 22nd minute, Vardy threw a grenade throw-in, Ibrahimovic shook his head in the penalty area, the ball was knocked out by Dida with a single punch, Stankovic grabbed the second drop point and shot fiercely, but the ball was blocked by Jankulovski;

In the 24th minute, Inter made a comeback, Vardy and Figo walked out of the left side in a row to hit the wall, from the ribs into the small penalty area, low shot from a small angle, but what made Vardy hold his head was that the ball actually hit the crossbar again.

Seeing this scene, the Inter fans in the stands acted exactly the same as Vardy, holding their heads and having incredible expressions on their faces.

In fact, fans have concluded that on the pitch, it is not the opponent's player who can prevent Vardy from scoring, but the red card, or the opponent's goal frame.

Needless to say, Vardy has received more red and yellow cards in the three and a half years since his debut than most professional players have received in their entire career;

And the number of hits to the door frame is even more exaggerated, with more than anyone else in their entire careers combined in one season.

If those strikes off the woodwork are on the scoresheet, then Vardy's tally will be on the verge of double.

I really don't know where Vardy got into trouble with the jamb, and I've never seen a jamb that has a good relationship with Vardy.

While others prayed before the game to ask God forbid, Vardy didn't need to, he just had to pray that the jamb wouldn't mess with him.

With several attacks to no avail, Milan managed to wear down Inter's high morale, and then slowly began to press forward in formation, and began to compete with Inter in midfield.

In high-end battles, everyone knows the importance of controlling the midfield, and the strongest point for Milan is the midfield, how can they give up control of the midfield.

Carlo Ancelotti changed his strategy, the midfielders strengthened their running and sprinting, and frequently mobilized Inter's midfield defense, although it may not be obvious for a while, but Ancelotti actually did not put the bet on the present.

Compared with Milan's midfielder, the average age of Inter midfielders is not low, Cambiaso is okay, it is the year of play, Stankovic is 30 years old, and he is also in the prime of life, but whether it is Figo or Vieira, they are out-and-out veterans, and it is difficult to stick to the whole game in ordinary games, not to mention the faster pace and more fierce derby battles.

Now Ancelotti is going to increase their consumption and then fight it out in the second half, I believe that by then, the two old guys will no longer be able to run.

Even if Mancini makes substitution adjustments, the strength of the substitute players is not as good as the two former superstars, and if they are used well, it is also an opportunity for Milan.

Inter Milan didn't realize Ancelotti's plan, but it simply meant that Milan was so desperate to equalize as soon as possible, so they only accelerated the tempo to fight against it.

For the rest of the first half, the two teams were like a lit cannonball, crackling, thunderous, and hilarious, one second Inter Milan may be besieging Milan's penalty area, but the next second, Inzaghi may have completed a point-grabbing shot in front of the Inter goal.

The pace is so fast that even the videographer is a little tired.

However, the defense of both sides was good, neither of them scored again, and the score remained 1:0 until the end of the first half.

By this time, however, Mancini had already sensed some clues.

There is no way, Figo and Vieira were already drinking and gasping when they walked off the field, obviously showing serious physical exhaustion, even after a short break in the middle of the game, I am afraid that the second half will not last long.

On the other hand, Milan, because their players are young and strong, they do not show any physical exhaustion.

Fooled!

Mancini chuckled mentally and cursed the old fox.

If he had detected Ancelotti's plan earlier, he would have tried to delay the pace and play slowly in the first half.

But it's too late to say anything now.

In the end, ginger is still old and spicy!

Back in the dressing room, Mancini asked Vieira and Figo with concern.

"How much longer can you two hold out?"

Patrick Vieira and Figo are no longer the hot-blooded teenagers of the second second, and they know very well that they should tell the truth at this time, otherwise they will be irresponsible to the team.

They don't have the energy that can burst out at any time even though they have been physically exhausted in the comics.

As Mancini expected, Vieira and Figo's answers were both 20 minutes. In other words, in the 65-70 minutes of the second half, they have to be replaced, and by that time, they should no longer be able to hold on to the game.

He should think carefully about who to replace in order to maintain the advantage against Milan!

Soon, Mancini had a draft.

Jamie Vardy is not too worried, Inter have a luxurious bench and Mancini is not unavailable.

At the beginning of the second half, Milan continued the strategy of the first half, constantly accelerating the impact on Inter's defense, hoping to knock Vieira and other veterans off the field earlier.

However, since Mancini has seen through Ancelotti's routine, it is naturally impossible to make Milan proud, so Inter's rhythm has changed completely, just like an old man and an old lady walking their dog in the park, which is very comfortable.

But hidden dangers are hidden dangers after all, there is always an outbreak, just after 70 minutes, Figo has cramps, Vieira also sat on the ground, and the whole person looked weak.

It's time for a changeover!

Mancini called back Balotelli and Maxwell, who were warming up, and whispered to them for a long time, apparently giving them a task.

Soon, the fourth official raised the sign for substitutions, and Balotelli and Maxwell came on to replace Figo and Vieira, who had fought to the limit.

When the two veterans left the field, the Meazza Stadium applauded thunderously, and the fans thanked the two veterans for their efforts in this way.

At the same time, fans are also thinking about how good it would be if they were five years younger, such Inter, I'm afraid the gods will back away.

As for the two players who have just come on the pitch, the positions are soon clear.

Maxwell was deployed at left wing-back, while Zanetti moved from left-back to midfield to fill in for Patrick Vieira;

Jamie Vardy dropped to the left and Balotelli was up front.

There was no change in the formation, but in terms of details, there were big adjustments, the most eye-catching of which was naturally Vardy, who was pulled to the left wing.

Vardy already likes to play on the left wing, so it would be no problem for him to play as a left wing-back, and he is perfectly capable of beating all the opposition full-backs on the wing, so that they can't find the north, even if there are many people in the middle, it will be difficult to limit him.

Of course, staying away from the goal will make Vardy's number of shots on goal plummet, and the reason why Mancini sent Balotelli naturally is to hope that he can form more points of flanking Ibrahimovic and take advantage of the opportunities created by Vardy.

Of course, if Balotelli can continue his Super Mario magic, then Milan will be miserable.

Seeing Inter's substitution adjustments, and then looking back at the two or three kittens sitting on his bench, Ancelotti was already extremely envious of Mancini.

After adjustment, Inter's strength has not declined significantly, because Inter's bench bandit strength is actually not bad at all.

But if you look at your bench, there are no players who can handle it at all.

Sure enough, man is better than man!

The depressed thug waved his hand, attack wildly, and if you don't attack, you really won't have time!

Either way, Ancelotti's routine worked, and after a lot of hard planning and implementation, it finally paid off, with Milan scoring.

In the 74th minute of the second half, Maxwell stepped forward to assist and could not come back, Milan played a quick counterattack, penetrated this side of the defense from the left side of Inter, and finally Kaka shot through the door guarded by Cesar.

Ancelotti burst into tears, after planning for so long, he finally scored, it was not easy!
