Boom~~~~~ at 8:40 p.m. on April 6, the entire San Siro Stadium exploded with endless power as if a nuclear bomb had been ignited!

'Okay, the players from both sides are out. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoLet me introduce the starting line-ups of both sides! ”

"Today AC Milan played a four-three-one-two. On the front line, Ukrainian nuclear warhead Shevchenko made a timely comeback, and he will be partnered with Argentine Crespo. Behind them is Kaka, the best young midfielder in Europe this year! Seedorf, Andrea Pirlo and Gattuso remain formidable barriers at the back. Cafu, Stam, Nesta and Maldini lined up! This is arguably the most luxurious defensive lineup of the AC Milan team. There is no suspense in the goalkeeper position, and the Brazilian goalkeeper is still Ancelotti's first choice! ”

"Inter Milan's formation is also four-three-one-two, and the goalkeeper is Toldo, who has performed bravely this season, breaking the team's all-time record of not conceding a goal. From right to left, Zanetti, Materazzi, Carvalho and Zambrotta. The midfield position remains their iron triangle, with Essien, Stankovic and Cambiaso. Edison remained a libero up front, roaming behind and on either side of the two centre-forwards, Vieri and Adriano......"

When Karachi introduced the lineups of the two teams, the players of the two teams also lined up to enter, and then carried out a series of ceremonies.

"Since the Milan duo are already familiar with each other, they don't play any tricks in the lineup, and basically put out the strongest lineup!"

Honk!

With the German referee Merck burning incense, this much-anticipated Milan derby officially began!

In today's game, both sides put on a defensive counterattack!

Carlo Ancelotti suffered a big loss in the last time he faced off against Inter Milan, so he went back to his old job.

As for Mourinho, he has always used this tactic when facing strong opponents in the Champions League. Besides, this game is an "away" battle, and he is not in a hurry at all!

As a result, after the game began, the situation on the field was far less passionate than the fans imagined!

Of course, the Milan derby is always hot.

Since there is a little less excitement, then the hot scene is essential.

Once the game began, it was the defenders of both midfields who took the lead.

Whether it's the fierce Gattuso, the flowing Andrea Pirlo, or the hard-working Essien and Cambiaso, they all showed their fangs once the game started.

The scene in the middle is not too much to describe as a man on his back!

"Kaka received the ball and turned around and was about to break through...... Oh, no! Essien directly brought down Kaka with the ball! ”

"Edison took the ball on the left and passed it to Stankovic in the middle. Stankovic was ready to get the ball back, and the two wanted to play one-two. However, Gattuso didn't give them this chance, and he directly took down Stankovic! ”

"Yellow card! Just twelve minutes into the game, Cambiaso received a yellow card for violating Seedorf! That's obviously not a good thing for a midfielder! ”

"Oh, it shouldn't! Seedorf! As a seasoned veteran, he almost applied for a needless yellow card! ”

…… In the midfield, players on both sides are constantly engaged in hand-to-hand combat, violations, and violations.

"At this point, I think the cameraman can just zoom out and focus on the midfield and go to sleep. Because, the battlefield of the game seems to have shifted from the penalty areas of both sides to this area! Karachi said helplessly about the situation on the field.

Although, the game went on for about twenty minutes, and there was not even a decent shot on the field. But the fans will not think that the game is ugly at all, and no one will be drowsy, because the hot scene on the field makes everyone always in a state of excitement!

The fans at the scene are also using their unstoppable enthusiasm to put the stadium in a warm atmosphere!

Finally, halfway through the first half, there was a non-foul scene on the court!

Kaka had his back to Cambiaso at the edge of the box for Seedorf's pass, and he made a gesture to receive the ball, but it was actually a slip of the ball when it came to his feet.

This time, it was obvious that it interfered with Cambiaso behind him, and the Argentine also leaked the ball.

Shevchenko appeared behind Kaka, he retreated to catch the ball, flicked it sideways, and ran away!

The ball hit the goal like a cannonball, and Toldo didn't have time to react!

However, I don't know if Shevchenko consciously kicked out the external rotation arc, but the ball finally grazed the post and deflected out of the goal!

This really made the AC Milan fans, who occupied most of the scene, let out a sigh of regret.

Ancelotti on the sidelines also covered his face with a depressed face!

Seeing that AC Milan ushered in the team's first threatening shot on goal, Inter Milan was not far behind.

Three minutes later, Chen Xi took the ball in the right corner of the penalty area and attracted the bag, and then stuffed the ball near the bottom line on the right side!

Zanetti, with the captain's armband, appeared like a bolt of lightning in the path of the ball!

Catching up with the ball, when he was about to complete the cross, he was directly put to the ground by AC Milan captain Maldini, who was struggling to chase back!

Inter Milan got a well-placed free-kick!

This is a great opportunity for the Inter Milan team, which has the advantage of high balls!

Chen Xi's pass unexpectedly found Carvalho, who was not dominant in height.

The Portuguese squeezed past Crespo, who was back in action, and completed a lion flick!

However, his header flick was a little less powerful and the ball ended up hitting the side-netting in the near corner!

Even so, the AC Milan fans at the scene were shocked into a cold sweat.

The attack of the two teams seems to have brought the game into normalcy.

Five minutes later, the veteran captain of AC Milan, Maldini, also provided an assist to the front court for the first time in a long time.

After playing a one-two with Kaka, he went down and sent a low ball into the box!

Shevchenko appeared in the path of the ball, but the ball bounced in front of him again, which allowed the Ukrainian to finally hit the plane!

In the 36th minute, Chen Xi advanced with the ball at the front of the penalty area.

After his continuous shaking, he unwittingly dribbled the ball to the edge of the penalty area, and his peripheral vision caught a glimpse of Adriano cutting in on his left side, so he poked lightly, ready to send the ball to the left side of the box.

It's just that his movements were still recognized by the experienced Stam, and he used his legs to block Chen Xi's pass. However, the ball deflected and fell to the feet of another striker, Vieri, in the box.

Vieri reacted quickly and unloaded the ball with a textbook centre-forward stance in the face of this half-high ball.

However, when he unloaded the ball, Nesta posted it in time.

If Vieri were at his peak, even Nesta, who is known as the best central defender in the world, would not be able to gain any advantage against his body.

It's a pity that Vieri, who is now over 30 years old, has begun to decline in physical fitness, while Nesta is in the prime of life!

Therefore, Nesta's hard leaning on it made Vieri's center of gravity shift, and he was about to lose control of the ball, and Vieri could only force a shot!

The quality of the shot in this hurry was not bad, the power was great, but the angle was right, and Dida who had already attacked blocked the penalty area with his body!

Before the Inter fans could sigh, they noticed that Stankovic appeared on the path of the ball.

The Serbian did not hesitate to volley the ball in the air!

At this time, Gattuso bravely used his flesh and blood to block Stankovic's cannon and block the ball!

However, the ball bounced towards Stankovic again!

The Serbs changed their feet and another volley!

Stankovic's left foot was clearly inferior to his right, and although this kick was slotted, it couldn't be held down, and the ball went over the crossbar!

Oh~~~ At this time, the Inter Milan fans had time to sigh.

Before you know it, the game is in the final stages of the first half.

At this time, the players on both sides seemed to be attacking and did not show any fatigue due to the high-intensity confrontation in the half.

Just as the fourth official was on the sidelines adjusting the electronic cards in injury time.

Inter Milan broke the ball in midfield, and Essien handed the ball to the retreating Chen Xi.

After Chen Xi turned around, he directly teleported behind the AC Milan players with a long kick.

Adriano inserted it with understanding, caught up with the ball in the penalty area, and volleyed directly with his left foot without waiting for the ball to land!

The ball hit the back of Dida's back like a cannonball!

Moment! The San Siro Stadium erupted in cheers from the Inter fans!

However, before they had time to celebrate, they found that Adriano, who had scored the goal, had stopped his preparations to celebrate with an innocent face, complaining to the referee about something.

"Oh~~~ It seems that the referee thinks that Adriano is offside first!"

At this time, AC Milan fans gave applause to the referee on duty in shock!

The Inter fans booed their own.

Mourinho also walked to the sideline with an angry face, complaining about the referee.

"This ball seems to be a bit controversial, let's take a look at slow motion!"

The slow motion on the TV screen clearly showed that at the moment of Chen Xi's pass, Adriano was at the same level as Stam, the last central defender of the AC Milan team, but only popped up half a head.

"Oh~~~ This ball is really a millimeter, it's hard to say, it's hard to say!" Karachi apparently also thought the goal was a bad one.

Even though Chen Xi and his teammates gathered around the referee to complain to him, it could not change the reality that the ball was blown off.

Not long after the game restarted, Merck blew the whistle for the end of the first half.

After entering the dressing room, Mourinho adjusted the excitement of the referee's decision. He doesn't want his emotions to affect the players.

Moreover, in the first half of the game, the performance of the Inter Milan team fighting "away" was no worse than that of the AC Milan team!

even, at one point, he scored a goal, but it was blown off by the referee.

He doesn't want to change such a good situation!

'Well, we played well in the first half. We didn't take the lead, but we didn't make any mistakes! When playing away from home, it's more important not to make mistakes than to score goals! 'Jose Mourinho praised the performance of his players in the first half.

'In the second half, Carlo Ancelotti will definitely make some changes. In this regard, we can only respond to all changes with the same. We have to believe that no matter how AC Milan change, it will be difficult for them to score in front of our excellent defence! ”

"On the offensive side! Counter-attacks like Ade's goal in the first half, we have to keep going! The ball was blown off and we had nothing to say. But in the second half, if we create another chance, if we create a chance that leaves them speechless, the referee can't blow it off again, right? ”

"All in all, 0-0 is not unacceptable in this game. But if we can score, the second leg will be much better, clear? ”

Jose Mourinho spoke carefully to the players about his thoughts.

"Clear!" Chen Xi and his teammates replied seriously.

After saying this, Mourinho did not say much more, but told the players to take a good rest.

He knew that the first half of the game didn't look like much offensive. But the mental and physical drain on both sides is enormous!

Sometimes, attacking can be done with the succinct passes of the players. It didn't take much physical effort.

However, in the hand-to-hand combat in the midfield, everyone is body against body, which is the most physically exhausting.

Looking at Cambiaso, who was drinking water, Mourinho seemed to remember something again.

'In the second half, defensively we have to pay attention to the movement. After all, this knockout round is not a one-game tiebreaker. I don't want to have unnecessary attrition in the second leg! ”

"Of course, just because you're moving doesn't mean you can relax defensively. AC Milan can't afford us to relax in the slightest, otherwise we're going to kill ourselves, you know? ”

Mourinho made another wake-up call.

In the dressing room, Mourinho isn't as cool as he is outside against the media and fans.

Even, he sometimes behaves like a bit of a mother-in-law and a mother-in-law, chattering.

To use an inappropriate analogy, he's like a babysitter for the players in the dressing room!

Of course, the players don't dare to use Mourinho as a nanny. After all, this "nanny" has the power of life and death for their players!

When the staff came to the dressing room to urge the players to enter the stadium, Mourinho did not forget to give the players one last encouragement.

"Let's go back to the field! Continuing in the second half, let's take the initiative in the second leg!! Mourinho clapped his hands and said!

The players also roared collectively and walked out of the locker room......
