Since the day the Milan derby was born, it has never been peaceful, and every derby, from the beginning of the pre-match public opinion offensive, the two sides are full of gunpowder.

Kaka is looking forward to a win, Silvio Berlusconi is hoping the players will be able to use one as a birthday present, and Inter Milan are hoping to celebrate captain Zanetti with a win, which will be Zanetti's 600th appearance for the Nerazzurri.

The day before the start of the game, the whole Inter Milan team had already congratulated Zanetti at the training base, and the president of the team, Moratti, presented Zanetti with a commemorative silver plate, along with a new captain's armband with the word 600 on it, as well as the names of all the opponents during his time at Inter.

A slogan also appeared on Inter Milan's official website at the same time: 600 games, a great heart, thanks to the captain.

600 games, Zanetti is like Maldini, using numbers after numbers, constantly refreshing his loyalty to the Nerazzurri.

Zanetti is no longer the son of the mason who played football on the streets of Buenos Aires. In fact, from the moment he joined Inter Milan in the summer of 1995, he was destined to form an indissoluble bond with the Nerazzurri.

The fierce autumn breeze reminded Inter fans of Mateus, one of the "troikas", and as time passed, Zanetti crossed one milestone after another. In the 2003/2004 season, Zanetti played his 400th game for Inter Milan and finished in the top five of the club's history.

However, the years have brought Zanetti only an increasing affection for the club, but no passion has faded at all. Last season, Zanetti was one of three players to feature in all 38 Serie A games in the 2007/2008 season.

There is respect around Zanetti and his team-mate Roberto Mancini, who joined this summer, has commented: "He's a role model as captain and as a player. ”

In the current Serie A, there are only two players who can be compared with Zanetti from AC Milan's Maldini and Juventus' Piero.

The former has made more than 1,000 appearances for AC Milan, while the Juventus captain has yet to reach the 600 milestone.

"I'm proud, it's not easy to spend so long in a club with such a high reputation, I'm going to reach the figure of 600 against AC Milan and I hope to be able to celebrate tomorrow after shaking hands with Maldini, a man and a player I respect a lot," Zanetti also said in an interview. ”

As he said this, Zanetti must have been thinking about how to defeat his opponent.

After Zanetti said this, Maldini immediately responded to his old rival: "Zanetti wants to celebrate the championship at the San Siro after shaking hands with me, I can only say that he is really too greedy, when the game comes, I will make the whole stadium red and black, for Zanetti I can only say sorry, but I want his 600th game to be commemorated, and leave disappointed!" ”

The conversation between the two veteran captains is full of gunpowder, but it is not easy for a player to establish himself in a big club, and it is even more difficult to establish himself in a foreign country, let alone have been playing for more than ten years and making hundreds of appearances, especially in modern football, where a more intense game itself is a disservice to the player's athletic lifespan, and in Zanetti, one can see all the characteristics of a great player: perseverance, loyalty, self-discipline, and excellent ability!

Next, Zanetti will face the next step in the club's second-most appearances, and that position belongs to the legendary Facchetti.

Predictably, if there are no major surprises, then Zanetti will surpass Fachetti at the end of the season, followed by Bergomi, who has worked with the Argentine, and it is not known whether Zanetti will be able to surpass the two legends, but the fact that one knows is that Zanetti has become another big legend for Inter Milan and will continue to do so.

Of course, Zanetti's 600-game milestone is just a small episode in the Milan derby, and the real eye-catcher is always the 90 minutes on the pitch.

Over the years, especially after the phonegate scandal, AC Milan had lost three consecutive derbies in a row, but last season's successful second-leg comeback marked the complete collapse of Roberto Mancini.

But now, Mourinho has regrouped Quaresma and Roberto Mancini, and the madman has brought a series of tactical rules and beautiful words to Serie A, and the derby is his first major test to test whether his unbeaten run so far, so many glorious resumes and tactical guidelines are truly convincing in Serie A.

Speaking to his manager before the game, Moratti said: "He's the best in the world, he's showing it, the team is doing better than the first two games, everything is going well, it's too early to say who the main opponent is, it's important that we keep playing our value." ”

Mourinho also responded to the chairman: "The main difference between Moratti and Abramovich is that Moratti has been crazy about football for 63 years since he was born, while Abou has only been crazy about football for 5 years. ”

Mourinho is very satisfied with the current situation of Inter Milan, after three consecutive wins in the league, the top of the table, the first game of the Champions League group stage against Anososis, Inter Milan also won cleanly away from home, and Quaresma, who he had high hopes for, finally scored, which also made Mourinho breathe a sigh of relief.

After all, Quaresma was the one he brought in, and after that game, Mourinho also praised his disciple: "I said you have to be patient with Quaresma, he's a great player, always has been, I'm sure he'll get better and better, just like Arjen Robben in the Chelsea era, he's destined to be a great player!" ”

There is a burst of harmony on the side of Inter Milan, and the situation of AC Milan is a little complicated, holding four technical meetings after the previous three consecutive defeats to stabilize Ancelotti's position, and also determined that the "Golden Ball" does not need to be on the same policy, followed by two big wins in the League Cup and the league, no one can figure out what the real Milan is and how lethal it is.

Carlo Ancelotti said: "I'd rather win against Lazio than the real Milan because it's hard for someone else to beat us. ”

Milan's two victories actually came from Kaka's 4312 formation as the front midfielder, Kaka still shows his strength as a double footballer, two games, although there is only one goal, but Kaka's excellence is not only reflected in the goal, in many other places, Kaka shows the quality that should be possessed as a core player.

However, Shevchenko, who had high hopes from Carlo Ancelotti and Silvio Berlusconi, performed very averagely, although the nuclear warhead still appeared very calm, and said in an interview that his goal would come soon, and he could play in any position.

However, everyone can see that the current Ukrainians are no longer the majestic Mr. Golden Globe, King San Siro.

However, the fastest recovery in form is still the teenager Pato, who has scored three goals in the last two games, and Pato, who has been questioned many times before, has reverted to last season's "prodigy", Ancelotti also said proudly after the game: "I remember someone who said before that Pato was a person full of doubts for AC Milan, but now, I think these doubts have disappeared." ”

Especially in the process of scoring against Lazio, it was completely clean, Zambrotta launched an attack with a long pass from the backfield, Kaka passed back under the right rib, Shevchenko successfully ran to the goal to attract two defenders, Pato left a gap in front of him, Pato did not make any adjustments, he hit the ball, the ball was not fast, and the power was not great, but it was aimed at the angle that the goalkeeper could not save, and the ball bounced and rolled into the goal from the gap between the goalkeeper's left hand and the left post.

When Silvio Berlusconi described Shevchenko as "good at attacking from outside the box and having a great feeling in front of goal", it seems perfectly appropriate to describe Pato, so it's no wonder Carlo Ancelotti was so happy after the last round.

Speaking of Ancelotti and Pato, there is also an interesting story, Ancelotti seems to have beaten Pato a lot, and even publicly admonished Pato, but in fact, he admires Pato very much in his heart.

Last season, Berlusconi once held Pato too high, exaggerating that he could score 30 goals in half a season, and Ancelotti quickly cooled down: "30 goals is too exaggerated, but 10 goals in half a season is about the same." ”

Speaking after the European Championships, Carlo Ancelotti said of AC Milan's new formation: "The Christmas tree is more suitable for Inzaghi and Borriello than for Pato, but Pato is still young and has a lot to learn. ”

After the last round against Lazio, Seedorf and Gattuso both received hugs and thanks from Ancelotti after coming off the field, while Ancelotti didn't look at Pato when he left the game.

But behind the seemingly harsh is actually appreciation, just like Mourinho warned Balotelli to be down-to-earth, Ancelotti just didn't want Pato to be praised too high and there would be big ups and downs, so when Dunga publicly criticized Pato, Ancelotti publicly accused Dunga of "such an approach is inappropriate", and in the arrangement, Ancelotti unconditionally trusted Pato after having the absolute scheduling power of the lineup.

Kaka is as consistent as ever, Pato seems ready to take the gun against Inzaghi, and with these two brilliant youngsters, the world's number one Ronaldinho looks a little down.

In fact, it's not just Ronaldinho, the new signings who joined AC Milan this summer are actually not doing well now.

Jose Mourinho has claimed that his tactics are suitable for a 20-man team, while Carlo Ancelotti has always been worried about the lack of manpower, and AC Milan have been criticised for their bench last season, and the club has made 10 purchases in the transfer market this season to enhance the depth of the squad, but the facts show that the depth of the squad does not seem to have improved in the slightest.

For example, in the striker, the original idea of the club at the beginning of this season was that Shevchenko and Ronaldinho would play the main team, and Borriello and Pato would be reliable substitutes who could play at any time, but now Ancelotti has been given absolute squad allocation rights, and Borriello and Pato are the main players, but Shevchenko and Ronaldinho have never been able to play.

On the back line, it is injuries that make Ancelotti's employment stretched, the bought Senderos is a "glass man", Antonini and Abate seem to have lost their shine in Fiorentina after returning home, although it can give Ancelotti more options, but the return of these two young people does not seem to be successful, which is the biggest problem.

Although the last game beat Lazio 4:1, Ancelotti admitted after the game that AC Milan was passive, AC Milan did not have more opportunities than Lazio in the game, but the opportunity was better than the opponent, if the full substitute lineup was sent, the result is really difficult to say, the key is that due to the three consecutive defeats at the beginning of the league, AC Milan can no longer afford to lose.

And from the effect of the rotation, it is not good, after Shevchenko came on the bench, although the attitude is positive, but the technical level is too far from the past, especially after Pato got off the field at the last moment, Shevchenko changed to play center, almost did not succeed in getting the ball under the close of the opposing defender, from the current point of view, Shevchenko is obviously not the original nuclear warhead.

The substitutes are still not good, forcing Ancelotti to continue to use the main team, but the full set of main lineup is still the same problem as last season, fatigue.

How will the aging and tired AC Milan play the Milan derby?

From the current point of view, Borriello is likely to be unavailable, it is difficult to say whether Inzaghi will be able to recover from injury in time, and at the back, can the defense of Maldini and Kaladze keep out Ibrahimovic and Ade?

It's hard to trust, and it would have been even worse if Favalli had played against Roberto Mancini, with Gattuso likely to continue to play with injury fatigue in midfield, while Pato, Seedorf, Kaka and Zambrotta will certainly face a fourth game in 10 days.

I'm afraid that AC Milan is only like this in the near future, but for Ancelotti, some of the people on the AC Milan bench are unusable, and the other part is not used because they have not been given the opportunity, because for AC Milan, which has lost consecutive games in the first three rounds, every league game is a decisive battle.

In the current AC Milan team, Flamini, who signed for free in the summer, may be a real rotation, but in the last game against Lazio, the effect was not good, and in the post-match rating, Flamini is also the bottom of the Milan team.

In fact, in terms of the role played, Flamini's contribution to defense is not small, Gattuso is not as good as the last game in terms of physical strength, although Seedorf is very hard, but it is difficult to expect him to have the same contribution to the defense as 4 or 5 years ago, Flamini, who plays the right central midfield, has played the role of a "right half fan" barrier to the greatest extent, and even sometimes has to make up for the left back to defend. But it was precisely because he defended so much that he had to run at high speed to make up for the lost position, and he also had to use the technical action of tackling frequently.

Previously, Flamini was known as "AC Milan's most valuable reinforcement", indeed, for such a powerful midfielder, as a free agent, it is indeed too worthwhile, and from the previous performances, Flamini is indeed worth the money, but although he has half Italian blood, but after all, he is a player who played in the Premier League, and there is still a process to adapt to Serie A. And this point in the Premier League is not very much in line with the whole of European football.

Flamini has all the advantages that AC Milan needs, but in order to adapt to the relatively strict enforcement of Serie A, you must first change the habit of excessive defensive action in the Premier League, otherwise no matter how many advantages you have, it will be covered up, so Flamini still needs more time, Ancelotti wants to rely on the French, and there is no need to think about it in a short time.

Now that the Milan derby is about to start, another interesting detail of this game is that Mourinho will see his former enemy Shevchenko at the San Siro, and the two are tied to a line by the old man of fate, and arrive in Milan in the same year, dating San Siro, probably neither of them wants to see each other, but the truth is that they have seen each other, and both of them maintain a friendly face.

Mourinho said: "If Shevchenko is happy to be back, I am happy for him, of course I will not wish him the league title, I can only wish him the top scorer in the UEFA Cup. ”

Shevchenko also responded immediately: "I wish him well at Inter, just like he has done well with other teams, he is a coach who knows what he wants and how to get it, I worked with him for a year, my first year in the Premier League, the first year is not easy for anyone. ”

Shevchenko then alleviated the conflict between the two and excused each other: "Now we are in the same city, but each is its own master, and we will do our best." ”

But the fans will not forget, let alone the stadium, under Mourinho Drogba and Shevchenko's 442 never took off, the madman once said: "Abu is very smart, he won't say something to me, if he really tells me that Shevchenko must be put in the main lineup, then I will leave immediately." ”

The madman even joked about the Ukrainians in front of the fans, and people asked where Shevchenko was?

The madman said, "On the golf course." ”

These are beyond the realm of pure technology, how could Shevchenko not know.

Like the prime minister, Shevchenko's 32nd birthday is the day after the derby, and the word revenge will hover over the city of Milan in September.
