Chapter 5: The First Milan Derby
Yes, that's what the seasoned coach replied like, saying a lot, but it's no different from nonsense. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
In contrast, journalists are more willing to interview the younger Mancini.
After all, he is still inexperienced, and he is more realistic.
"May I ask Mr. Mancini, can the new defender Zhao in your team withstand the experienced strikers of Shevchenko and Tomasson on the other side?"
"First of all, I have confidence in my players, we are interested in the strength of the players, so we brought them in, Zhao is a very good player, the performance in the last game has proved this, and secondly, we have excellent defenders like Materazzi, Zanetti and so on, not to mention Shevchenko, even Inzaghi can start, and it is no problem to guard against the two of them."
This major derby has already been fought for one round from the speeches of the two coaches in the pre-match press conference.
Ancelotti is very steady, following his own routine, completely ignoring the opponent's tricks, while Mancini has nothing to say, does not hide it at all, and seems very confident in his team.
After the press conference, both coaches returned to their respective training camps to lay out the final arrangements.
On the second day of the game, the starting lineup was also released early.
There were no surprises on AC Milan's side, except for Tomasson who replaced Inzaghi, who was injured unexpectedly, the rest of the people did not adjust, Rui Costa started, and Kaka was still on the bench.
In other words, Ancelotti did not put smoke bombs on Inzaghi's injury, but it was true.
And Zhang Qing, like Kaka, sat on the bench, because there was no substitute striker except him.
During the warm-up before the game, Zhang Qing and Zhao Tian also communicated, both of them participated in the derby for the first time, very excited, facing the audience of tens of thousands of people, one of the two young people looked forward to their good performance in this game, and the other looked forward to being able to appear.
It didn't take long for the game to officially begin, the captains of both sides shook hands with each other, Maldini and Zanetti were also old acquaintances, the two didn't know how many times they shook each other, they both smiled at each other, and after choosing the first serve and venue, the game officially began.
Inter Milan kicked off first. The striker Vieri kicked off the ball and passed it to Starkovic, a member of the midfield.
He was an indispensable piece in Inter's attacking line, and many of the attacks were instigated and organized by him.
And there is no shortage of good players in Inter's forward line. In addition to pillar center Vieri, there is also Martins. This person is extremely fast, has excellent physical fitness and flexibility, and is very young, making him a rare talent.
These guys will form a terrifying attacking duo that threatens the AC Milan backline.
Because although Milan's backline Nesta and Stam are both experienced central defenders, they are certainly not as strong as Vieri physically, and not as fast as Martins.
And as soon as it started, Inter Milan launched a fierce attack, threatening Dida's goal.
They passed each other in the midfield, and Veron combed the entire offensive rhythm in tandem in the front and back, and they played smoothly, and it didn't take long to suppress the whole field, playing a few beautiful attacks.
With 25 minutes to play, Zanetti from the right flank sent a cross straight over Vieri's head, where he leaped high and flicked the ball to Stakovic, who was cut in the back of the middle. At this time, AC Milan's Andrea Pirlo came back to defend, but his defense was significantly weaker than the attack, and Stakovic took the lead and fired a long-range shot.
The ball shot a world wave straight into the goal.
0:1 AC Milan fell behind and Stakovic scored a world wave.
All the players of the Inter Milan team gathered around to celebrate the goal.
Mancini, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, couldn't contain his excitement and ran along the bench to celebrate his goal. After all, AC Milan's backline is basically a world-class backline, Italy's two world-class defenders, Maldini, Nesta, plus the top Dutch defender Stam and Brazil's main right-back and Carlos to synthesize the Brazilian flying wing Cafu, all have world-class strength, the goalkeeper is also Brazil's main goalkeeper Dida, and even the substitute goalkeeper is the former Italian international Abbiati, which can be called a luxury lineup, and the first half of the game scored the first goal, which does not make him happy and excited.
By this time, AC Milan manager Carlo Ancelotti had already started to push his players upwards and he wanted to get the score back before the first half.
It was still Andrea Pirlo who played the ball to Rui Costa, who split the ball into the two flanks, penetrating layer by layer, and hitting the opposition goal.
But the opponent's defenders defended tightly, Tomasson couldn't compete for Materazzi on the high ball, and he couldn't compare to Zhao Tian at his feet, the whole first half was muddy, inactive, but the mistakes gradually increased, and Shevchenko also fell into the opponent's position, many times he could only do it alone, although there were a few threatening shots, but still did not break through the opponent's goal, just like that, the first half of the game was over, the score stayed at 0:1, Inter Milan temporarily lead.
At half-time, Carlo Ancelotti was a little unhappy with the first half, and he made targeted deployments to several midfielders and front-court players in the hope that it would work.
On the other hand, Mancini knows the opponent's attacking players well, although he is relatively young, but he is not inferior to the study of the opponent, so that the defenders have a target, targeted defense and attack, so he has achieved the lead.
For several key players on the other side, Shevchenko, Tomasson, and Rui Costa have studied thoroughly, and they have sealed their ball lines to the death, and there is no chance at all, Shevchenko can still break through with his personal ability, and the rest of the players basically do nothing, and the rhythm on the field cannot be controlled as well as in the last two games.
After the rematch, neither side changed players and continued to use the lineup of the first half.
AC Milan slowly took control of possession and were ready to push forward in layers, so a positional battle began. However, the opponent's defense was very tight, and after 20 minutes of unsuccessful attack, he was counterattacked by the opponent's Martins and scored a goal, and the score became 0:2.
At this time, the game on the field was more passive, the Inter Milan team fell into a carnival, and Mancini couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, clenching his fists and roaring.
And the Inter Milan fans at the scene were already boiling, they cheered and sang. On the other hand, AC Milan fans are depressed, holding their heads and not speaking.
At this time, Ancelotti was also very depressed, after all, he was 2 goals behind, and he was about to attack. (To be continued.) )
