Chapter 38: The Milan Derby

In the following days, the teenager put all his energy into the game, and the time quickly went from September to November, AC Milan, who remained unbeaten in the first 7 rounds of the league with 5 wins and 2 draws, overtook Roma and Juventus, who were also 5 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, ranked 4th, Parma ranked 4th with 4 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss, Inter Milan and Fiorentina both had 4 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses, while the Blue Eagle Lazio only achieved 2 wins, 4 draws and 1 loss, a full 7 points behind the Rossoneri at the top of the table, and even behind Bologna and Udinese.

The eighth round of the game is very interesting, it seems that the whole of Serie A is making way for this Milan derby, except for Juventus in third place against Udinese in eighth place and Roma in second place against Bologna in seventh, none of the other five teams of the "Sengoku Seven" have met together. For the teams chasing the next points, if the Milan duo can draw this time, it will naturally be the most beneficial result for them.

The name of the stadium in this game is San Siro, so it is clear which of the red-black or blue-black is considered the home stadium. Not only that, but the formation of both teams this season has also remained the same, both 4-2-3-1.

In this game, Inter Milan played the main team:

Goalkeeper: Pagliuca

Defenders: Silwest, Bergomi, Campbell, Zanetti

Defenders: Almeida, Hamann

Midfielders: Recoba, Pirlo, Djokaef

Forward: Ronaldo

On Inter's side, Moreiro suffered a torn lateral collateral ligament in his knee in the fourth round match against Perugia, and he will need to be out of action for 12-16 weeks after surgery. Youngster Andrea Pirlo, who ended his loan spell at Brescia this season, has seized the opportunity to win a starting spot in recent games.

AC Milan starting line-up:

Goalkeeper: Abbiati

Defenders: Maldini, Costacuta, Southgate, Cafu

Defenders: Desailly, Lee Byrne

Midfielders: Pire, Zahovic, Camoranesi

Forward: Robbie. Fowler

Baggio was knocked to the ground by the opposition goalkeeper in the last game against Piacenza and needed to be out for 2-6 weeks with a hip strain, and Zagallo put Zahovic in the starting line-up for this game, and it is clear that the Slovenian's athleticism is stronger than Gallardo's more important to the manager. And the presence of Pire and Camoranesi means that Zahovic is the dominant attack of the team in this game, which is also the position he has always had in mind. In addition, the introduction of Pire and Camoranesi indicates that Zagallo hopes that the team can make full use of the width of the pitch and tear apart the Inter defense through quick transfers.

Inter Milan took the lead in the first half, Ronaldo knocked the ball back to Campbell at the beginning, AC Milan's lineup pressed up, but did not put too much pressure on the opponent's midfield, Almeida also did a good job in the midfield, and Leeborn's several sudden robberies were in vain.

In the 11th minute of the game, Maldini suddenly stepped forward and tried to steal Djokaeff, who was holding the ball from behind, and although the French forward completed the turn, the ball was broken by the long leg of the old horse. Taking advantage of the situation to pull away from the middle, Zakhovic also retreated to the old horse to ask for the ball, Hamann immediately posted the Slovenian, and Almeida also moved slightly to the wing, blocking Pireneche's route.

Inter's two backs had no problem coping, but the problem was that the blue and black did not retreat to follow the defense, which led to the unmarked Lee Bern who was unmarked and forward, and Zahovic, who often sticks to the ball in training, unexpectedly met the outside of the ball on the outside of his left foot, and the ball obediently rolled towards the route of Lee Berne.

Milan's No. 15 stepped forward at high speed, and Inter's powerful central defender Campbell did not hesitate to meet him directly, and he also observed Robbie on his right. Fowler also moved sideways to the outside of himself to meet Lee Bourne, and as the best centre-backs of his era, Campbell judged based on his own game experience that the two were ready to break through their own defence by hitting the wall before hitting the wall in front of the penalty area.

So Campbell moved a big step to the outside of Lee Bern in advance, which was equivalent to blocking the running route of the Chinese midfielder in advance. I have to say that Campbell's prediction was indeed excellent, but what he didn't expect was that Lee Bern would react so quickly to this ball, seeing that the breakthrough route was blocked, the teenager pulled the ball back with his right foot, and then distributed his left foot to Camoranesi on the right side, and fullback Cafutao went down to attract Silwest's attention.

At the same time, Leeburn suddenly turned his weight and slipped past Campbell's right side, the unguarded side, while Camoranesi on the wing rubbed the ball over the top to the front of Inter's penalty area before Recoba could return to the defensive position.

When Li Byrne burst into the penalty area and was about to volley the near point, he found that Pagliuca had blocked the near point in advance, saying that it was too late and that it was fast, the Chinese brother simply restrained the inertia of continuing to swing his legs, and the moment the ball bounced off his crotch, his right leg was retracted, and he completed a very difficult shot towards the far corner with his heel.

Pagliuca's prediction was perfect, and if Lee Bern still hit the goal from close range, the ball would have been blocked. But the Italian international did not expect it at all, and they have never seen a striker kick such a shot! People swing their legs backwards and kick the ball forward with the help of inertia, but Leeborn's shot looks like it has completed the process in reverse! Swing your leg forward first, then hit the door with your heel backwards!

Even Zanetti's last-minute saves could not change the result, the team plunged into the net, the ball was cleared by Zanetti on the goal line, but the ball flew upwards and hit the underside of the crossbar and bounced into the goal, which can only be said to be bad luck!

1:0, the stands around San Siro lit up red fireworks, needless to say, even AC Milan's own fans did not expect the team to take the lead so quickly, and it was the first time the team got the ball, the first attack.

The joy of the fans is easy and simple, but the professional commentators invited by the TV station are different, in addition to seeing what the fans see, they are more interpreting the difficulty of the goal. Although the visual effect of this goal does not look as wild as Barty's GOAL and does not have the same drift as the Alien Pendulum Swing, it is still a world-wave shot. It's like ordinary people just shout at me! And the experts will be able to export the same as the chapter.

After this game, Li Byrne, who was watching the replay at home, heard this paragraph and thought, should I get the Puskas Award 10 years in advance?
