readx;
The sky-blue bus drove smoothly on the highway. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info
On April 3rd, the temperature is slowly rising, under the Mediterranean climate, the wind in the city of Milan no longer makes people feel cold, and on the green belt on both sides of the highway, a little new green pokes out of the dry grass, showing hope!
Inter Milan are on their way to the derby.
Although it is an away game, everyone knows that in the Milan derby, for Inter Milan, the so-called away game is just a change of the name of the stadium from Meazza to San Siro and a change of dressing room. It was only a 30-minute drive from the Angelo Moratti Sports Complex training base to the San Siro, so the team did not book a hotel in Milan as a temporary turning point in advance, but pinched the right time and set off directly from the training base.
The head was tilted westward, and the curtains of the bus were tightly closed.
There was a rare silence in the carriage.
Samuel Eto'o sat at the front, headphones in his ears and was shaking his head to soft music, as was his habit at almost every major game.
Beside him, Marco Mateazzi has his eyes closed, and his hands are tightly clutched a silver cross with a lifelike image of the Crucifixion, which is also the habit of Materazzi, who likes to pray the most pious prayers before each game!
Captain Javier Zanetti is holding the opponent information given to him by Lee Tong-beom, and is going through and memorizing all the information he can need for the nth time, seizing the last time to prepare for the fight.
Sanchez fell asleep on the back of his chair, with a slight snoring and drops of saliva, telling people how relaxed this Chilean young man with the surname of optimism and snoring is at this time!
Gareth Bale, the little king of Wales, is playing a game called "Fruit Ninja" intently, his facial expressions changing rapidly and richly, dancing with his hands, and from time to time with silent cheers or chagrin to complete an emotional change...... The handsome and dashing [Angel] Gigi is taking care of his long flowing hair in front of the mirror, and his natural appearance advantage makes Gigi far more popular among Milan City female fans than Milan City's old handsome guys Beckham and Inzaghi, and has also been wildly sought after by advertisers...... However, Lao Li found that Ji Ji seems to be a little uneasy recently, and he is more and more concerned about his appearance!
Glancing around the carriage, Li Tongfan quietly closed his eyes and began to recuperate.
The important surname of the Milan derby has been emphasized countless times by the world in recent times, so at this time, there is no need for Lao Li to rack his brains to do pre-war mobilization, and there is no need to stimulate the fighting spirit of the players, because the fighting spirit of the hammers is enough to burn the sky of San Siro, and it is not necessarily a good thing to be too excited in a football game, and Lao Li is even thinking about whether to lower the fire for his disciples...... Lao Li put on the radio equipment and headphones provided on the back of the bus seat, ready to listen to some music and relax-"...... With less than 40 minutes to go before the official start of the most important Milan derby in 10 years, I'm Lolista, the host of "Green Preview", to make a final pre-match comparison between the two teams for listeners and friends! β
The FM is 52.8 MHz, and a beautiful female voice comes from the headphones.
"Green Preview" is one of the most famous pre-match prediction radio programs for football matches in Italy, with a certain authoritative and professional surname, very popular with Apennine fans, and this time the focus of the program is obviously the upcoming Milan derby, Li Tongfan's heart moved, did not change the channel, and continued to listen - "...... Today, we will compare and analyze the strength of Inter Milan and AC Milan from all aspects...... There is no doubt that behind any giant club in the world, there is a strong backstage boss, and Milan is no exception, and our central topic today is to put the backstage bosses of the two teams together to make a comparison......"
"AC Milan's owner, Silvio Berlusconi, is the country's prime minister and media giant, and Inter Milan's president Moratti is the most famous oil tycoon in the Apennines, but when it comes to economic power, the former is clearly above the latter - Berlusconi, who was born in a middle-class family, currently owns three Italian television stations, controls more than half of the market share, and sits on the country's largest publishing group, occupying more than 30% of the market, and is on the 2011 Forbes rich list. Berlusconi ranks third in Italy and 118th in the world with $7.8 billion, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a rich country, while Moratti's wealth comes entirely from his father Angelo Moratti, whose name does not appear on the global Forbes rich list, and Moratti's personal assets are even less than $1 billion at the threshold of $1 billion on the Forbes rich list...... As for political status, Moratti cannot be compared with Berlusconi, who founded the Forza party and has been elected prime minister several times......"
The host, Lolista, introduced it in detail.
To be honest, some of these details are compared to Lao Li for the first time, Moratti has spent money for Inter Milan in the past, leaving many people with the impression that he has unlimited wealth and unlimited wealth, and it turns out that compared with Berlusconi, the wealth of the two people is so much different.
ββ¦β¦ Silvio Berlusconi once created a "Milanese dynasty" with his own hands. In the early 80s of the last century, Milan was relegated to the second division twice, and the best result in the league was only 7th. After Berlusconi bought Milan in February 1986, he invested heavily in the purchase of stars, such as the famous "Dutch Three Musketeers". During Berlusconi's 25 years at the helm of Milan, Milan won 5 Champions Leagues, 7 Serie A titles, 5 UEFA Super Cups, 2 Intercontinental Cups, 1 Club World Cup, 1 Coppa Italia and 5 Italian Super Cups, a total of 26 trophies, establishing the greatest Milan dynasty in history. β
ββ¦β¦ Although Moratti and Silvio Berlusconi are far apart in terms of wealth, his love and contribution to Inter Milan is equally outstanding. After Moratti bought Inter in 1995, although it failed to win the Serie A title for 11 years, after the "phonegate" in 2006, Inter monopolized the Serie A title for five consecutive years, and became the first European "five crowns" in Serie A history last season. In the 16 years of the Moratti era, Inter won a total of 1 European Cup, 5 Serie A titles, 1 UEFA Cup, 1 Club World Cup, 3 Coppa Italia and 3 Italian Super Cups, a total of 14 trophies, recreating the glory of the "big international" era in the 60s of the last century.
ββ¦β¦ The Milan duo have spent much the same amount in the transfer market this season, spending more than β¬30 million on 11 players. Silvio Berlusconi brought heavyweights such as Ibrahimovic and Robinho to Milan, while Moratti brought in the likes of Sanchez, Gareth Bale and NicolΓ‘s Gigilanocchia in the winter. In the upcoming Milan derby, the starters of both sides will be worth more than 300 million euros, which is also the most expensive matchup in Italy. β
ββ¦β¦ Of course, when it comes to recruitment, the most shocking signing in the winter of the 2010-2011 Italian Serie A season is the [God on the sidelines of football] madman Li who stayed in Meazza undoubtedly. Moratti went to Argentina to invite the crazy man Lee, who was banned for 10 games, to show his courage and sincerity, the oil king moved the madman Lee, and also saved Inter Milan, the reason why this upcoming Milan derby is so important is precisely because the crazy Lee led the team's performance to soar, which caused a direct threat to the original worry-free AC Milan championship situation, otherwise, the Milan derby would only be the meaning of the game itself! β
Lorista's voice kept coming from the headphones, and Lao Li was fascinated by it-"...... In my opinion, in the current situation of weak Serie A, especially Juventus's collapse from behind the phone, Milan has become the only two giants in Italy, and their duel is also the "most expensive" and "most valuable" duel in Italy. Of course, money is not everything in football, nor is it the deciding factor of a game, but in the case of the overall poor performance of Serie A, to promote such a blockbuster matchup at such a critical moment, Berlusconi and Moratti's contribution to Italian football is far more than a win or defeat! β
"Will it be Silvio Berlusconi's AC Milan that will dominate Inter Milan after breaking the phone gate, or will Moratti's Inter Milan achieve an unprecedented sixth consecutive Serie A title? We'll see...... Personally, I am more optimistic about Inter Milan, after all, the man who fought for Moratti is called Crazy Lee, and his magical record is enough to make anyone fall in love with him, and enough to make any opponent tremble...... Crazy Li is the guarantee of victory! β
Hearing this, the vanity was greatly satisfied: this host named Lorista not only has a sweet voice, but also seems to be impressive in the football professional knowledge room, and he can actually see that Lao Tzu is the guarantee of victory, haha, you can go and invite her to a light meal another day...... That's when it's crunch!!
The bus stopped, and Lao Li, who was grinning with his eyes closed and smirking, suddenly hit the backrest of the front seat hard...... "What's going on?" Yes? Did someone carjack a car? What about the police......"
The muffled man stood up and roared like a frightened rabbit.
Hahahaha-!!
The people in the car were all amused by the nervous appearance of the leader, and they couldn't help laughing one by one, and the heavy pressure before the big battle disappeared in an instant, and assistant coach Batistuta forced a smile and beckoned: "Hey, Lee, we're here!" β
"Uh...... Arrived? β
Li Tongfan was stunned for a moment and took off his headphones...... Suddenly, an overwhelming noise came from the window, and when the curtains were lifted, all the frenzied reporters and fans could be seen as far as the eye could see, and the crowd was rushing towards the bus like a tide, and the magnificent San Siro Stadium appeared right in front of the bus.................. San Siro Stadium.
The dark red of the South Stand and the blue and black of the North Stand became the main colors of the San Siro on April 3, and the whole stadium was like a gorgeous palace built on the imminent eruption of an active volcano, as if it was about to erupt at any moment!
The VIP box was filled with celebrities from all walks of life in Italy.
Silvio Berlusconi and Moratti appeared on the podium, both with confident smiles on their faces, and the broadcast camera caught the two men even exchanging friendly greetings...... In the commentary booth, commentators from more than 20 countries around the world are using their best to inform fans in front of the TV about every detail of the derby, the match is broadcast on more than 260 TV stations around the world, and in Italy, the exclusive rights are won by paid football channels...... Because Li Tongfan has a weightlifting role in this world-renowned derby, China Central Television 5 sports channels have sent a special interview team and press corps as early as the day before to track the progress of the game in an all-round way, as the head of the domestic since Huang Huang 06 World Cup roared goodbye to Tianchaotai Duan Xuan, who also appeared in the commentator's seat, his partner is another football commentator Liu Jianhong.
And far away in the CCTV studio hall in Yanjing, Zhang Bing, the male host who likes to hide from his wife and sow seeds everywhere, is in the host of a program called "San Siro Extravaganza" about the Milan derby.
Brazil, France, England, China, Singapore, Russia...... In all corners of the world, fans of different languages are sitting in front of the TV at this moment and start to pay attention to the upcoming match, the Milan derby, the world's attention!
β¦β¦ Home team dressing room.
AC Milan are in the midst of their final pre-match mobilization.
Allegri felt his heart beat more and more as the clock ticked as the clock ticked. Although in the first half of the season, he had already experienced the Milan derby as the head coach of the [Rossoneri] and led the team to successfully defeat the opponent 1-0 away, but at that time Inter Milan was still in a period of decline, and the Spaniard Benitez stupidly overturned everything that Mourinho left in Meazza did, and as a result, he destroyed himself self-defeatingly, even if he won, it makes no sense to win!
And now this game has given him a feeling of suffocation!
Maniac Lee!
These three words were like a mysterious incantation, and Allegri felt uneasy that could not be contained.
However, in front of the players, as the head coach, he must try his best to hide his emotions, showing a side full of confidence and fighting spirit, he holds a white delicate whip in his hand, points on the tactical board, and says with a smile: "In the big games, the madman Lee likes to win by surprise, such as the last Champions League quarter-final against Bayern Munich, Inter Milan changed the image of the previous violent attack, and went the opposite way, killing the opponent with a defensive counterattack...... So, in today's match, I'm sure he will use some little tricks to achieve his goals......" "I've carefully observed the previous battles between Crazy Lee and many world-class coaches, and one thing is worth noting - many times, the opponent always follows Crazy Lee's plan, and in order to contain Crazy Lee, he always unconsciously gives up his best tactics and game methods...... Therefore, our strategy for today's game is - no matter how the opponent provokes, no matter how the opponent changes, no matter how the opponent lures, we must stick to our own characteristics and completely follow the tactics we are best at to win the game! At the end of Allegri's words, he suddenly slammed the tactical board with his whip, and suddenly knocked the small magnet with the head of the madman Li off the tactical board, and the whole person revealed a powerful momentum, like a general who has mastered everything and won a decisive victory thousands of miles away.
The AC Milan soldiers in the locker room were also impressed by the momentum of the coach in an instant.
Only the [Swedish Scorpion] Ibrahimovic, still with a lazy expression on his face, yawned, and said with a lack of interest: "This guy who is mad Li is best at pretending to be a ghost, except for being lucky, in fact, he has no ability at all......" As he spoke, he stood up, lightly touched the ground on his toes, picked up the magnet with the portrait of the madman Li that Allegri knocked off from the tactical board, and tossed it on the instep a few times like a juggling ball, and then gently bumped it up with his thighsThe Swedish striker showed his teammates his superb footwork, the small magnet block was like an invisible transparent silk thread tied to his push, and the fancy action that ordinary people also do with football, he did it through the magnet block, and after a few strokes, he suddenly came to a volley, with a crisp snap, and the magnet block with the portrait of the madman Li was kicked into the trash can in the locker room by him!
"Bingo-! Yes, it's in! [Swedish Scorpion] was very satisfied with his series of performances, he put his hands on his waist and smiled triumphantly: "When the game starts, I will use the same way to kick the goal of Inter Milan and make the madman Lee cry in despair......"
However, to his slight disappointment, his brilliant performance did not seem to arouse the interest of most of his teammates, except for a few good shouts from marginal characters such as Flamini and Papasta Solop...... Pato, Brazil's golden boy, who is competing for the same spot as Ibrahimovic, watched from the sidelines.
The atmosphere in the locker room was a little awkward for a while.
Vice-captain Gattuso suddenly stood up: "Inter Milan is a bunch of smelly shit, we not only want to win today, but also make this group of shit tremble, fear, and kneel and beg for mercy...... Guys, it's time to show the world our blood surnames and play like all! β
As a long-time veteran of the Rossoneri, Gattuso is an authentic Rossoneri who can't stand the team's years of isolation from the league title, and he also hates his rivals from the bottom of his heart...... With all that said, Gattuso turned and walked out of the locker room.
Others followed.
The game is about to begin.
β¦β¦β¦β¦ββ¦β¦ Players from both sides have been on the field! β
"This is the most expensive game in Serie A this season, AC Milan goalkeeper is the old goalkeeper Abbiati, the starting line of the defense is the most unsuspenseful, Nesta and Thiago Silva partner in the central defenders, Abate and Antonini on the wings, this is already the strongest squad Allegri can choose!"
ββ¦β¦ AC Milan's midfield position is the Dutch big man Van Bommel who came from Bayern Munich on a free transfer in the winter, [Butcher] Gattuso occupies a position, Boateng gets the start, [Bicycle Prince] Robinho, [Golden Boy] Pato and Swedish high school striker Ibrahimovic appear in the front! β
"On the bench of the [Rossoneri], there are big stars such as [Brain] Andrea Pirlo, captain Ambrosini, and Flamini, who have just returned from injury...... In terms of value, AC Milan's starting lineup is worth around 170 million euros, and God, that's a staggering number! β
"Let's take a look at Inter Milan's starting ...... that have finally been revealed"
On the commentary seat.
Commentators from various countries are still routinely introducing the starters of both sides, and at this time, they are forced to !!
Referee Carini blew the whistle for the start of the game.
Countless hearts around the world beat fiercely at the same time, and the second leg of the Milan derby, the watershed of the 2010-2011 Serie A title race, finally began, amid the cheers of San Siro!
AC Milan kick off first.
Ibrahimovic stomped the ball and knocked it to his partner Pato.
The Brazilian golden boy ignored the Swede's reach for the ball and passed the ball back to his partner Roinho, who did not dribble the ball and continued to pass it back to the feet of defender Van Bommel...... Inter Milan's players are pressing like a tide.
From the first second, the Milan derby entered a white-hot stage, and [midfield king] Sneijder did not have the slightest politeness in the face of his briefing, and a vicious tackle brought Van Bommel to the ground...... Force!
Less than 30 seconds after the opening whistle, referee Carini blew another whistle and Sneijder fouled and AC Milan were awarded a free-kick at the back. [Midfielder] reached out and pulled Van Bommel up from the ground, the two did not talk much, Van Bommel touched the top of Sneijder's head, and released his kindness to his national team teammates...... Gattuso kicks off the ball.
The ball was hoisted quickly towards Inter's backfield, and Ibrahimovic jumped high at the edge of the box to control the pass, and he was even ready to stop the ball and pull off a difficult half-sided volley without adjustment...... But the tremendous force coming from behind him made him completely misjudged.
Someone jumped higher than him.
The football was preempted by someone to go out...... [Swedish Scorpion] wanted to take advantage of the beginning of the game to give the opponent a dismount, but it failed. He turned his head and glared fiercely, the Inter Milan player who was hindering him just now was the young player Ranocchia, who had not played much after joining the [Nerazzurri] in the winter!
