July 30, 7 p.m.!

Forty-five minutes away from the annual TIM Cup Serie A Triling-Final Tournament!

This year's TIM Cup is back in Milan, allowing Milan fans to watch their team's first match of the new season on their own turf. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Although the TIM Cup is only a warm-up tournament, considering the strength of the three teams involved, its gold content and excitement will certainly not disappoint.

As a result, more than 80,000 tickets for today's Meazza Stadium were sold out early.

Among them, Inter Milan fans have an absolute advantage!

There is no doubt that Nerazzurri fans will want to witness the debut of the most expensive man in world football at Inter.

In fact, even AC Milan and Juventus fans are waiting for the start of the game with this mentality.

In the stands!

The blue-black belonging to Inter Milan occupies half of the country, and nearly half of the fans are wearing Chen Xi's No. 7 shirt!

After Chen Xi's last official appearance in Meacha, the popularity of Inter Milan's No. 7 shirt has jumped to surpass Vieri's No. 32 shirt and Adriano's No. 10 shirt!

You know, after Ronaldo's transfer, Vieri became the well-deserved king of Meacha. And after joining Inter last winter, Adriano quickly challenged Vieri's position as king with his constant goals!

These two top scorers are definitely the favourites at the Meazza Stadium before. But it only took Chen Xi a few days to change the situation.

Of course, to really capture the hearts of the fans. Today's direct dialogue with Juventus and AC Milan will be a great opportunity! ――

"The TIM Cup is about to start. This time, the TIM Cup is still in the traditional triangular format. Inter Milan, AC Milan and Juventus will play in pairs for 45 minutes in each of the three quarters, and the final three teams will be judged by the points they will score. As in the league, three teams will receive three points for a win and zero points for a loss. The difference is that once the two teams are tied, the winner needs to be decided by penalty kicks. The side that wins the penalty gets two points, and the side that loses the penalty also gets one point......"

Before the start of the match, Italian TV commentator Carraci was explaining the rules and format of the TIM Cup.

"The debut of the three Serie A giants in the new season is definitely something to watch. Although the summer transfer window is only halfway over, all three teams have made gains in the transfer market. Needless to say, Inter Milan bought Edison Chan from Liverpool for the best price in world football, and their manager Jose Mourinho was also the focus of the summer. On top of that, they also got Carvalho, the best centre-back in last year's European Cup, as well as the likes of Favalli, Mihajlovic, Cambiasso and Davies. Their performance in this game is definitely something to look forward to......"

AC Milan didn't have much of a big deal in the transfer market this summer, but they had to get Dutch centre-back Stam from Lazio and Argentine striker Crespo on loan from Chelsea. In today's game, Crespo will also have a chance to play against his old club Inter Milan......"

"Juventus, as for them, have also received a number of high-quality players this summer. Among them, the addition of Emerson from Roma and Swedish striker Ibrahimovic has comprehensively improved the strength of the Juventus team......

…… After introducing the format, Karachi began to analyze the three teams in the competition.

Finally, when the minute hand on the clock was three-quarters of the way through the dial, the two teams that participated in the first quarter came out!

Seeing the team and players who had been separated for more than two months, the fans in the stands erupted in huge cheers.

'Okay, the players are out. In the first quarter, it was AC Milan and Juventus who played out. The closely watched Inter Milan team will play in the final two quarters......"

The first to appear on the pitch were AC Milan and Juventus. The Inter Milan fans in the stands looked very anxious, because they couldn't wait to see Chen Xi's performance on the field.

In fact, Chen Xi was also a little eager to make his debut at the Meazza Stadium at this time. It's just that the schedule is arranged like this, and he can't help it, he and his teammates can only wait patiently for the end of the game between AC Milan and Juventus.

In fact, from a strategic point of view, Inter Milan's schedule is the most favorable. Because the other two teams played first, giving them the opportunity to scout their opponents.

No, Mourinho is there to keep a close eye on the two teams that will be his most important rivals in the new season, which starts in a month's time.

Honk!

With the whistle of Collina, the first quarter of the match between AC Milan and Juventus officially began!

In the opening stages, perhaps because the players had just finished their holidays, both teams were slow to get into the groove.

But when the players found their senses, the game got more and more exciting.

In the 24th minute, AC Milan's Dutch midfielder Seedorf broke the door of the Juventus team with a long-range shot that marked his name.

However, just six minutes later, Juventus equalised!

It was French striker Trezeguet who scored the goal with a stabbing effort that left Dida too late to make a save. 1 to 1!

After scoring one goal each, the two teams can be said to be more and more courageous.

Before the end of the 45-minute game, Kaka and Nedved scored a goal each to lock the score at 2-2!

"Oh! I really didn't expect that the first quarter of the game ended in a draw, and the two teams were about to usher in a thrilling penalty shootout! Narrator Karachi exclaimed.

Chen Xi and his teammates, who were warming up on the sidelines, were also a little depressed, and the game entered a penalty shootout, which meant that they needed to wait for more time.

The originally thrilling penalty shootout seemed a little casual because it appeared in such a game with the surname of a warm-up match.

AC Milan and Juventus conceded three and two goals respectively, and in the end Juventus won with two points, while AC Milan could only get one.

When the match between AC Milan and Juventus was over, Chen Xi and his teammates also began to step onto the pitch for the final warm-up!

This also brought the atmosphere of the Meazza Stadium to a climax, after all, the Inter Milan fans in the stands accounted for most of it!

Since Meazza is a stadium shared by Inter Milan and AC Milan, it is used frequently during the season, which often compromises the quality of the turf. However, after a summer of maintenance, the turf in Meazza is in the best condition today.

To Chen Xi's satisfaction, the Meaza Stadium is not separated by a runway between the spectator seats and the stadium like some other stadiums in Serie A, but is a professional football stadium like the Premier League. Coupled with the huge capacity of Meazza, the atmosphere is even more fiery than it was in the Premier League.

...... "Okay, the second quarter of the game between Inter Milan and Juventus is about to begin. The match between the two teams, also known as the Italian derby, is still very much to look forward to, even though it was only 45 minutes long. Let's take a look at the line-ups of both sides......"

While Chen Xi and his teammates were making final preparations, the lineups of the two teams were also played on the big screen of Meacha...... Inter Milan starting line-up (4-3-1-2):

Goalkeepers: ToldoDefenders: Zanetti, Materazzi, Carvalho, FavalliMidfielders: Stankovic, Zanetti, DaviesWingers: Edison Chan Forwards: Vieri, Adriano'Mourinho fielded the strongest squad at his disposal. But his lineup is a little weird. Because as the 'one' of the four-three-one-two, Edison did not play the role of a forward or a shadow striker, but as a winger. With one winger and two centre-forwards, Mourinho is really bold and innovative......

At this time, the TV broadcast was focused on Mourinho, who appeared in the Inter Milan dugout for the first time. I saw him standing there expressionlessly, as if he didn't care about the game.

In fact, this set of tactics is also a bold attempt by him. What he was best at when he was in Porto was 4312, but at that time the team had Deco as a striker. And there is no one in this Inter team who Mourinho feels can play the role of Deco. So he came up with such a strange tactic.

The two central forwards, Vieri and Adriano, started together, while Chen Xi roamed on both wings as a winger.

Of course, when Chen Xi is on one side, the midfielder or fullback on the other side will also be inserted in time to ensure that both wings fly together.

It can be said that the essence of this set of tactics is Chen Xi as a "single winger"!

He almost became a frontcourt free man. In the past few days of training, Chen Xi's performance has been very good, and this set of tactics that he came up with in a short period of time has been well played.

However, training is just training after all. The current dialogue with Juventus is the real test of this set of tactics!

Juventus line-up (4-4-2):

Goalkeepers: Gianluigi BuffonDefenders: Zebina, Thuram, Iuliano, ZambrottaMidfielders: Camoranesi, Blasi, Emerson, NedvedForwards: Piero, Ibrahimovic" Juventus' Juventus lineup made some changes compared to the first quarter of the game. Zerbina and Emerson, who joined from Roma, were both given the opportunity to play, and the newly joined Swedish striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic also took the place of Trezeguet and partnered Piero......"

In the interval between the commentators' introduction of the two starters, the players of the two teams also appeared in their respective positions.

In this quarter, Inter Milan wore the blue and black striped shirt at home.

Dressed in blue-black and shaved with a shaved airplane head, Chen Xi looked energetic.

At this point, he can't wait to run on the pitch!

Honk!

Corina didn't let Chen Xi wait too long, he blew the whistle that symbolized the start of the game!

In the opening stage, the two sides appeared relatively cautious and did not rush to attack.

It wasn't until six minutes into the game that the first shot on goal was ushered in.

Adriano received a cross pass from Chen Xi at the edge of the penalty area, dribbled horizontally and forced a shot, but the ball grazed the far post and missed.

Buffon in front of the door did not even react to the heavy artillery of the Brazilians.

The team missed the goal, sending the Inter fans in the stands a sigh.

Three minutes later, Inter Milan made a comeback.

This time, Chen Xi switched to the right side, and he was very interested in Zambrotta for the Inter Milan team.

Chen Xi also knew the strength of this Italian, but he didn't have any intention of backing down.

After getting the ball, Chen Xi took the ball forward in broken steps!

Zambrotta unhurriedly lowered his center of gravity and slowly retreated with Chen Xi's steps.

Suddenly, Chen Xi's ankle turned and flicked the ball to the middle, as if he was about to forcibly cut in!

Zambrotta hurriedly shifted his center of gravity and prepared to paste it!

However, the ball that Chen Xi had just laid over was thrown back to the side by him using the change in his ankle!

Flick the tail of the cow!

This dashing move made the Inter fans in the stands burst into enthusiastic cheers!

Zambrotta, as the main left-back of the Italian national team, is naturally not so easy to deceive, he kicked the ground, quickly retracted his center of gravity, and then leaned towards Chen Xi.

Standing at over 1.8 meters tall and weighing more than 75 kilograms, Zambrotta is considered a sturdy full-back. On the one hand, he will not suffer in the physical confrontation with the side players, but unfortunately, what he met was Chen Xi, who was as strong as a center forward!

When Zambrotta posted it, Chen Xi only left him with a strong back. Zambrotta, on the other hand, felt like he had hit a wall...... Bounced off!

Rumble!

Seeing Chen Xi pass Zambrotta like this, the cheers of the Inter Milan fans in the stands were even louder!

Just relying on this pass, Chen Xi has conquered the hearts of many Inter Milan fans!

After crashing into Zambrotta, Chen Xi also slowed down slightly, and then sent the ball into the penalty area with his right foot!

In Liverpool and England, Chen Xi is more often active on the left side, which makes him have relatively few opportunities to cross with his right foot, and people ignore that he has a right leg that is not inferior to Beckham's accuracy at all!

In this undisturbed situation, Chen Xi's cross flew almost above the head of Vieri, who was outflanked in the middle!

Bobo shouted in his heart that he was comfortable, and then he pressed Giuliano to stand tall and shook his head to attack the goal!

The Nerazzurri fans in the stands were ready to stand up and cheer...... Mourinho on the sidelines had already raised his hands...... However, Juventus' goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon made an incredible save!

I saw that his legs were like springs, and he flew sideways to lift Vieri's excellent quality header over the crossbar!

Oh~~~ The blue-black fans in the stands helplessly converted their cheers into sighs!

Mourinho on the sidelines also shook his hand in annoyance...... "Unbelievable save!" Buffon deserves to be the head of today's football! Vieri's must-score goal was denied by him! Of course, Edison's previous breakthroughs and crosses were also very beautiful, but unfortunately the Inter Milan team was unlucky, and met Buffon, who had just warmed up in the penalty shootout and directly saved the opponent's two penalty kicks, and 'scared away' a goal! Karachi also let out an exclamation!

After Vieri landed, he hugged his head in annoyance, and then didn't forget to give Chen Xi a thumbs up!

Chen Xi smiled and ran towards the corner flag area!

When it comes to Inter Milan, even if the team has set-piece masters like Mihajlovic and Recoba, Chen Xi is still the team's number one set-piece!

Corner-kicks were given, and the big men of the Inter Milan team ran into the Juventus penalty area.

Materazzi at 1.93m, Adriano at 1.89m, Vieri at 1.88m. Inter Milan's three air dominance-level players made the air defense alarm suddenly sound in the Juventus penalty area!

As for Juventus, except for Iuliano, the air defense of the other players is not very good, and the corner kick is a great opportunity for Inter Milan!

Chen Xi's corner kick was of excellent quality, and it flew flat and fast to the middle of the Juventus penalty area!

Materazzi, the tallest man in the box, was in that position and he pressed back into the box to finish with a header from Ibrahimovic, who was involved in the defence...... Unfortunately, he couldn't hold the ball down and put it in the stands!

"Oh~~~ Inter Milan has created another chance! Another assist from Edison! It only took ten minutes for Edison to prove that he was worth the money with his performance! ”

The continuous offensive of the Inter Milan team made the Inter fans in the stands look very excited. The singing of "Crazy Inter" kept coming from the stands!

When the camera swept in front of the Juventus coach's box, the gold medal coach Capello did not have too much worry on his face.

Maybe he doesn't care about the outcome of such a warm-up game, or maybe he thinks everything on the field is ...... It's all in his hands?

Chen Xi and his teammates didn't care what Capello thought, they were encouraged by the cheers and singing of the fans, and the offensive of the Inter Milan team was wave after wave!

Juventus' defence, which conceded 46 goals last season, was also devastated, and if Buffon hadn't been brave, they might have breached the goal several times!

Just when everyone thought that Inter Milan could score at any time, Juventus launched a textbook long ball counterattack!

Zanetti, who was inserted on the right, had a wide cross headed out of the box by Thuram.

After the retreating Camoranesi received the ball, he did not move forward with the ball, but directly sent a long ball to the back of the Inter Milan defense!

Ibrahimovic sneaked in from the gap between Materazzi and Carvalho to catch the ball!

"There was no offside, Ibrahimovic got a one-on-one chance!"

The Inter Milan fans in the stands were obviously not mentally prepared either, and involuntarily let out an exclamation!

Swede Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who has just joined Juventus and needs to compete with two world-class strikers, Piero and Trezeguet, will not miss this opportunity.

After dribbling into the penalty area, he calmly sent the ball into the goal in the face of the attacking Toldo!
