Chapter 420: The Milan Derby

"If we don't play well in this game, we don't have to stay at Inter anymore." Captain Zanetti spoke for the players.

With Zanetti's attitude, Fan Shang was relieved and opened the door directly.

AC Milan couldn't come up with their full squad today due to some injury problems, they still used a 442 formation today, goalkeeper Abbiati, four defenders, Chamotte, Maldini, Júnior and Helwig, four midfielders, Gattuso, Ambrosini, Koko, Leonardo, two forwards Bierhoff and Shevchenko.

AC Milan put Maldini in the central defender position today, and the Argentine international Chamot was used at left-back, while Koko, who is good at left-back, has not played this position a few times since coming to AC Milan, which is still placed by Zaccheroni in the left-back position.

Inter Milan are also 442 today, goalkeeper Frei, four defenders, Zanetti, Blanco, Gamara and Thuram, four midfielders Seedorf, Jugovic, Emerson and Redondo, forwards Vieri and Chiesa.

Today, Vincent used Gamara at central defender because he was familiar with Shevchenko, and the task of keeping an eye on Shevchenko today belongs to Gamarra.

Vincent had studied Zaccheroni before, he was a man who dominated control and attack, but today they put two interception midfielders in the midfield, and I don't know how he wants to control it, is it also going to play two wings? Roma and Juventus have proved one thing before, that is, who will be indestructible on the wings of Inter Milan now, doesn't Zaccheroni believe in evil?

Fan Shang can't see this now, and he won't know what Zaccheroni means until the game.

Today, the presidents of the two teams also sat together, Moratti and Berlusconi appeared in a box at the same time, both of them are Italian upper-class figures, so the two still sat together very politely.

With the referee's whistle blowing, today's Milan derby officially begins.

The same double midfield, Inter Milan and AC Milan are a little different, today AC Milan's two people are interceptions, while Inter Milan's is an organization and one interception.

Fan Shang told Redondo very trustingly before the game that he controlled the rhythm on the field today, and he should play the side to the side, and if he should go to the middle, he would go to the middle, unless he really saw the opportunity or danger, he would not point fingers at him.

After the start of the game, Redondo began to observe the ball, and Fan Shang was also observing, AC Milan was not very aggressive in defense, it can be said that it was step-by-step, each in place, and there was no tendency to press upward.

In this way, Redondo was more calm, he wanted to test AC Milan, so he carried the ball forward, until 15 meters in front of the penalty area, Gattuso did Redondo defend closely.

Redondo almost tested AC Milan's defensive range at this time, but he also wanted to further test their defensive intensity, so Redondo threw off his stride and was about to break through in the direction of the penalty area, but this time AC Milan did not let him succeed, Gattuso did not foul, just stood against Redondo, and then Ambrosini rushed over from the other side and stole the ball at Redondo's feet.

Very well, if not Redondo is the core of the experienced midfield, this time AC Milan's defensive range, intensity and today's general defensive strategy have all been tested.

It seems that today in the middle is mainly a scramble, and AC Milan do not want to foul, they do not want Inter Milan to get set-pieces.

The middle was done on both sides, so in the next attack, Redondo gave the ball to Zanetti and let him and Seedorf test the water on the right side of AC Milan.

Soon the results will come out, AC Milan's wings use a man-to-man defensive strategy, the full-backs are staring at the full-backs, the full-backs are staring at the full-backs, there is no loophole to find on the side, you can only rely on personal ability to break through, but AC Milan's two fullbacks are relatively stable in defense, so the success rate of these two wings should not be high.

Let's wait and see Zaccheroni's attack, now from the perspective of the defensive situation alone, AC Milan's goal today should be to keep the equal.

Inter Milan's wide attack just now ended with Zanetti's forced cross, which was destroyed by Júnior.

At this time, the attack and defense switched, AC Milan began to attack, Ambrosini got the ball at the second drop outside the penalty area, and then only took two steps forward, and distributed the ball to Koko on the side, and then he and Gattuso just ran to the center circle and began to slow down slowly, putting on a state of response.

And the wing Koko broke through alone, although Helwig had the intention but his speed was really not very fast, and when Koko was stopped by Thuram, Helvig ran to the same position as the two of them, and then turned his head back to defend against Inter Milan's attack.

"Okay, AC Milan's posture today is low enough" Fan Shang saw the speed of AC Milan's offensive and defensive transition, and said to Zeng Jia next to him a little playfully.

"Zaccheroni doesn't dare to lose this game!" Zeng Jia thought for a while and said.

Fan Shang also thought about it, it is indeed such a reason, with the current AC Milan ranking Zaccheroni's position as coach can really be said to be shaky, if this derby is lost, it is estimated that it is shaky, if AC Milan loses this game, then Galliani and Berlusconi are likely to contact their successors directly.

Such a conservative AC Milan, then Inter Milan should be more heroic, Fan Shang just wanted to shout on the sidelines, but as soon as he got up, he remembered what he said to Redondo before the game, so he sat back on the stool before his legs were raised.

Zeng Jia didn't know what Fan Shang's situation was at this time, "What's wrong?" ”

"Uh...."Fan Shang didn't know what to say, but he had an idea, and then rubbed his legs, "It's a little numb." ”

Zeng added a glance of doubt, but Fan Shang didn't look at him, staring straight into the field.

Redondo probably figured out AC Milan's defense today, and began to think about how Inter Milan would attack, he still carried the ball forward by himself, and when Gattuso stepped forward to defend again, Redondo was still about to break through with a step like just now, and Ambrosini also came to help defend, but at this moment, Redondo suddenly retracted the step he was going to take, and instead of going forward, he used his heel to knock the ball diagonally behind, and then Emerson followed up with a long shot.
