Chapter 422: Winning the Derby
At halftime, the atmosphere in Inter Milan's locker room was very harmonious, and Fan Shang cheered up the players vigorously.
The atmosphere in AC Milan's dressing room was quite heavy, during which Berlusconi and Galliani went in once, I don't know what to say, but when they came out, their faces were no different from when they went in.
At the beginning of the second half, Zaccheroni couldn't help but make substitutions, already two goals behind, the sapper midfielder could not satisfy his appetite, Zaccheroni replaced Ambrosini for Boban, which can strengthen AC Milan's attack to a certain extent.
However, if they are on the same starting line, this may still be saved, but now after all, Inter Milan is already two goals ahead, and it is a little late to strengthen the attack.
However, Kenneng was what Berlusconi said to the players at half-time, they launched a frantic attack on Inter Milan's goal at the beginning of the second half, this time on the left and right and in the middle, in fact, this is somewhat similar to Inter Milan's attack in the first half, Boban played the same role as Redondo.
However, Gattuso is not Emerson, he can run and block desperately, but for attack, Fan Shang can only say that Gattuso knows nothing.
Therefore, Boban is almost always on the side after dribbling, because Shevchenko is also seen very dead by Gamara in the forward line, Bierhoff's foot skills are average, Boban does not dare to give him a direct plug, it is better to divide two wings to hit the top of Bierhoff's head.
In the 48th minute, Koko didn't take the pass from Boban on the left side, and directly picked up a cross, Bierhoff did not have the slightest advantage in the battle with Blanco, and the ball was destroyed by the veteran Blanco out of the penalty area.
In the 52nd minute, Boban himself shot from outside the penalty area, the ball was very threatening, and it flew out of the bottom line by grazing the post.
Vincent wanted to stand up and say something, but he saw that Redondo had already started to talk to Emerson, and then Emerson followed Boban more closely.
"Is this an attribute of a coach on the field?" Fan Shang began to discuss this topic with Zeng Jia on the side.
"Perhaps, his command skills were not as good as at Real Madrid, but if Fernando had been playing like this, we would have made a lot of money on this deal." Zeng Jia affirmed Redondo's performance today, and also affirmed Fan Shang's deal.
After withstanding a burst of onslaught after the opening of the second half of AC Milan, Inter Milan returned to their rhythm in the first half, Redondo controlled the midfield with ease, although only a year younger than Boban, but the competitive state was obviously several percent higher than Boban.
Fan Shang was also quite relieved to sit in his seat, chatting with Zeng Jia and several other assistant coaches all the time.
The final score of this game was 2:0, and Inter Milan did not chase after AC Milan, and the two goals still gave AC Milan enough face, although Berlusconi may not think so.
The prime minister did not appear on the pitch in the second half, leaving Galliani alone to barely survive the second half for 45 minutes.
The day after the game, Fan Shang thought that AC Milan was going to change coaches, why? Because Zaccheroni did not attend the press conference after the game, it became a one-man show for Vincent.
But something unexpected happened, the next day's "Milan Sport" actually published an interview with Berlusconi and Galliani, and the two supported Zaccheroni at the same time, believing that it is only a short period of darkness, and AC Milan will get better and better under Zaccheroni's leadership.
"What's going on?" Fan Shang pointed to the newspaper and asked the old Jianghu Fachetti with some doubts.
"AC Milan should be giving up the league this season," Facchetti said indifferently, "I guess Zaccheroni has a miracle this season, or the end of the season will be when he is out of class, and if I guess correctly, Galliani should have started looking for a manager for AC Milan for the new season." ”
"The Champions League just gave up?" Fan Shang asked again
"I'm not sure about that, I'll have to see what they do after that, and hopefully they can fight in the Champions League, so we have one less competitor in the league." Fachetti replied with a shake of his head.
Fan Shang nodded, feeling that yesterday's game should be the last straw that crushed Zaccheroni's camel.
But that's all in the past, leaving Vincent's business aside, for Inter Milan, yesterday's Milan derby victory was crucial, not only to win against their local rivals, but also to get the game off to a good start throughout 2001.
There is more than one heavyweight match, after this Milan derby, Inter Milan's tough battle is not over, and the next challenge is to sit at home and face Parma.
If Inter Milan and Parma didn't have a grudge before, then this season is a big feud, in the Italian Cup, Inter Milan can beat Parma 6:1, and Parma's face is swept away.
Parma is united this time, hoping to find a way back in Maya.
Although Redondo is still in good shape, but still can't stop Parma, who is working hard for the whole team, and finally the two teams shook hands 1:1, but Fan Shang feels that this is it, Parma is really desperate, Inter Milan is now the leader, and they also said that they don't have to fight for 2 points due to injury.
Overall, Inter Milan's schedule in January is relatively relaxed, with only one game in three consecutive weeks, and although the opponents are still relatively strong, they are given plenty of rest.
Inter's last opponent in the past three weeks is still a strong opponent with defending champions Lazio.
The match was played away from home, at the Stadi Olimpico in Lazio, where Inter Milan last played in this season's Italian Super Cup, where Inter Milan won against Lazio, and if Vincent did not expect, Lazio could have the same mentality as Parma last time, which is revenge.
As expected, Eriksen also broke the ring today, and the defensive counterattack could no longer satisfy today's Lazio, they completely gave up defending today and devoted all their energy to breaking through the door of Inter Milan.
Such a single-minded Lazio really got a reward, the first half was not over and had a 2:0 lead over Inter Milan, although Redondo still continued to command, but today's crazy Lazio made the players of Inter Milan a little confused, so the state of Inter Milan in the entire first half was in a trance.
