“Goooooaaaaal!”
"Ronaldo! He calmly scored the penalty kick! Two to one! Inter Milan is in the lead again! "
"Ronaldo is in good form! He is extremely calm as he stands at the penalty spot! After returning from Real Madrid to Milan, the Brazilian has completely revived! "
The Inter Milan fans in the stands shouted frantically, "Ronaldo! Ronaldo! Ronaldo!
For the Inter Milan fans, Ronaldo represented beautiful memories, and now, he represented happiness!
After taking the lead again, Li Ang made a gesture on the sidelines.
He asked the Inter Milan players to clamp down on Pirlo in the midfield. The Italian national footballer was AC Milan's midfield brain. As long as Pirlo was restrained, then AC Milan's offense would be in trouble.
Therefore, in the following game, people saw that Inter Milan's marking of Pirlo suddenly increased. Carlos was not soft on the Italian national footballer at all, and his kicks were very fierce.
In the 41st minute of the game, Carlos dribbled the ball and knocked Pirlo to the ground.
The referee, Messi, verbally warned Carlos, which caused strong dissatisfaction on AC Milan's side. They thought it was at least a yellow card.
Pirlo was treated on the sidelines. Ancelotti looked anxious. Pirlo was AC Milan's midfield brain. If he was injured and left the field, it would be a huge blow for AC Milan that they could not bear.
Fortunately, after the team doctor's examination, Pirlo was fine and returned to the field.
However, people obviously noticed that Pirlo had a harder time playing under Carlos's fierce marking.
*****
When AC Milan's midfield core, Pirlo, was restrained by Inter Milan, AC Milan's offense could not advance.
AC Milan seemed to be in a quagmire.
Their limited offense was all Kaka's long shots after he dribbled the ball to break through.
On the other hand, Serginho and Seedorf were on the left flank. They were fearful of Inter Milan's sharp counterattacks, and were a little hesitant in their attacks.
On the other hand, Inter Milan became braver and fiercer as they played. Their tactics almost perfectly restrained AC Milan. Furthermore, they were playing on their home ground with the score in the lead. The players played with vigor. This vigor was not due to mental tension, but a kind of relaxation.
Ferrari lamented in the commentary box. Inter Milan had not won against AC Milan in ten consecutive games. Every time they faced AC Milan, they played very nervously, and the players did not play well. This was a problem of mentality. However, Li Ang's Inter Milan team played more easily against their nemesis in the same city. This was a victory in terms of mentality.
"It seems that they are very confident in winning the game, which allows them to play football step by step instead of being nervous and changing their movements."
During injury stoppage time in the first half of the game, Inter Milan played a beautiful combination.
Modric passed the ball to Figo, who directly passed it horizontally. After Agüero received the ball, he directly broke forward. Faced with Nesta's defense, he spiked the ball and pretended to shoot, but suddenly sent the football out.
Ronaldo received the football behind Kaladze, then raised his right foot and made a shooting motion.
Stam filled in and went sideways to block, but he watched Ronaldo poke with the tip of his foot.
Mata successfully reversed the offside position and received the football in the penalty area. With a narrow shooting angle, he did a beautiful low shot. The football passed between the legs of AC Milan's goalkeeper, Dida, and rolled into the goal behind him!
*****
“Goooooaaaaal!”
"Juan Mata! Mata! He scored a brace! Li Ang's most trusted player made a contribution again! He scored a brace in the Milan derby! "
"Three to one! Mata widened the score for Inter Milan! Although the AC Milan fans may be very unhappy with me saying this, Inter Milan played great today! They took the initiative and now have a two-goal lead. It looks like Inter Milan will break their four consecutive years without beating AC Milan today … "
"Mata! Mata! Mata! The performance of this young Spanish player was admirable. He was a product of Real Madrid's youth training camp. However, after Li Ang went to Sporting de Gijón, he took the initiative to request a transfer to Sporting de Gijón to follow his mentor! At Sporting de Gijón, this young Spanish player grew into a rising star in La Liga. He was the best rookie in La Liga last season! And after Li Ang came to Inter Milan, he brought in his beloved player! Many people expressed doubts about whether this young Spanish player could adapt to Italian football, but it turned out that this young Spanish player was one of Inter Milan's best signings this summer … In fact, this summer, Li Ang's signings have all performed well. We don't need to repeat the vision of the Chinese manager. This has been proven time and time again. "
The Inter Milan fans in the stands were shouting, "Mata! Mata! Mata! "
*****
The entire Giuseppe Meazza stadium was in a frenzy. Before the end of the first half of the game, they led AC Milan by three to one and also took the initiative on the field. This had never happened in the Milan derby in the past few years. The Inter Milan fans finally saw the hope of beating their city's arch-rival!
And in the VIP box, Moratti and Facchetti high-fived in celebration. The Inter Milan boss's face was flushed red.
On the other side, Belisconi and Galliani's faces were ashen. The two men did not wait for the whistle to blow to end the first half of the game and left the seats early.
The referee Messi then blew the whistle to end the first half of the game.
The first half of the game was over. In the first round of the Milan derby of the 20052006 Serie A season, Inter Milan temporarily led their city's arch-rival, AC Milan, by three to one at home.
AC Milan's players had serious expressions and quickly left the field.
Inter Milan's players had smiles on their faces. Their manager, Li Ang, stood at the entrance of the players' tunnel and high-fived every Inter Milan player who passed by him in celebration.
Seeing this scene, the cheers of the entire Giuseppe Meazza reached a peak. This was a happy moment that they had not experienced in the past few years.
*****
During the halftime interval, Li Ang praised his players. He praised all the players.
Then, he said to his players, "There is no need to make any changes in the second half of the game. As long as we play like we did in the first half in the second half, the final victory of this game will belong to us! "
Ancelotti, on the other hand, was cheering for his players in the locker room.
Before this, Ancelotti took the responsibility of being passive in the first half of the game on himself.
"The second half of the game is the time for us to make a comeback!"
"Our front and back are a little disjointed. This must be corrected!"
"Sheva! You need to be more active in the second half of the game! "
"Seedorf needs to help Pirlo more! He is in trouble! "
"Kaka needs to be braver in his attempts to break through and attract the attention of Inter Milan's defensive line!"
In fact, if AC Milan could do what Ancelotti said, it would be the AC Milan that people were familiar with. Pirlo's command in the midfield, Seedorf stirring up the wind and rain in the front, Shevchenko's impact, Kaka's rushing … The picture was as beautiful as a painting.
However, it was clear that Ancelotti did not find a timely and effective solution in his speech. He could only hope that the players could improve after he pointed out the problems.
*****
After the start of the second half of the game, neither side made any substitutions.
Li Ang saw that Serginho was still on the field and a smile appeared on his face.
With Serginho on the field, it was clear that Ancelotti still wanted to rely on the Brazilian player's ability to assist in the flanks.
However, this was a double-edged sword!
This meant that the gap in the left flank exposed by AC Milan in the first half of the game still existed.
It could also be understood that Ancelotti was gambling. He was betting that AC Milan could rely on the powerful offensive ability of the left flank to score before Inter Milan.
However, this also meant that Inter Milan still had a chance to seize the gap and attack the gap behind AC Milan's pressing!
In the 53rd minute of the game, Inter Milan took advantage of the gap after AC Milan's pressing and once again tore apart AC Milan's defensive line.
Figo dribbled the ball forward on the right flank after receiving Modric's pass.
After attracting Kaladze to come over to fill the position, he passed the football across.
After Agüero received the pass, he used his speed to directly charge into the penalty area!
*****
"Figo passes the ball! Beautiful! Agüero has gone in! He has entered the penalty area! He has gone in! " The commentator shouted excitedly. His voice was very loud, but the commentator's voice was still drowned out by the excited cheers of the Inter Milan fans at the scene.
Li Ang stood on the sidelines. He leaned forward and stared at the penalty area.
Nesta came up to defend against Agüero!
Agüero pulled the ball with his left foot, then turned sideways and lifted his right foot at the same time!
Nesta did not hesitate to fall to the ground to tackle the ball.
Then, people saw that Agüero's foot was faster to touch the ball. He lifted the ball with the tip of his foot and the football flew up from Nesta's leg. Then the Argentine young player jumped up and leaped over the fallen Nesta.
Then, in the face of the arrival, Agüero directly volleyed the ball!
The Brazilian goalkeeper made a beautiful save. He flew over to block the football.
However, he could not block the second shot!
Ronaldo rushed to the front of the football and he directly volleyed the ball!
The football flew into the empty goal!
*****
"Agüero — shoot!!!! He pounced! Ronaldo!!!!! Beautiful! The ball is in! "
“Goooooaaaaal!”
"Ronaldo! He calmly shot the football into the net! Inter Milan leads AC Milan by 4: 1! The difference between the two sides has widened to three goals! "
"Ronaldo! He scored a brace! Inter Milan leads AC Milan by a large score! Now, they are one step closer to winning the first Milan Derby in years! "
Ronaldo ran on the field to celebrate, followed by more excited Inter Milan players.
On the sidelines, Li Ang raised his arms, rushed out of the technical area, and ran to celebrate. His face was full of excitement.
"This is Li Ang's first Milan Derby! He is doing an excellent job! His team is only one step away from a great victory! "
"Four to one! Inter Milan is leading by three goals! It will be extremely difficult for AC Milan to make a comeback! "
*****
Ancelotti's expression was serious and gloomy.
He asked assistant manager Tassotti to call back Jankulovski, who had been warming up.
He was ready to replace Serginho. The Brazilian stayed on the field and did not provide much help to AC Milan in the offensive end. Instead, he repeatedly became Inter Milan's breakthrough point. A replacement had to be made.
Now, Ancelotti regretted that he did not make the decision to replace Serginho earlier.
AC Milan made a substitution. Jankulovski came on as a substitute and replaced Serginho, who had a terrible performance.
Three minutes later, Li Ang also made his first substitution for Inter Milan.
The veteran Portuguese player, Figo, was replaced by Cambiasso.
When Figo was brought off, the Inter Milan fans in the stadium stood up and applauded the veteran Portuguese player.
In today's game, although Figo did not score, his passing and organization on the right wing were involved in three of Inter Milan's goals!
"Cambiasso came on and replaced Figo. After Li Ang's substitution, what changes will Inter Milan's formation have?" Ferrari asked.
*****
Ancelotti was also observing Li Ang's substitution this time.
Then, two minutes later, Ancelotti's expression became more serious. Li Ang's substitution this time was very targeted! It was a response to his previous substitution!
After Cambiasso came on, he formed a double defensive midfielder with Carlos.
Carlos was in charge of defense, and Cambiasso was in charge of midfield coordination!
Modric, on the other hand, moved to the right midfielder position, which curbed Jankulovski and Seedorf to a certain extent.
In addition, Cambiasso's offense and defense were excellent, which also curbed Kaka's activity to a certain extent.
"Li's substitution is very targeted," Tassotti said to Ancelotti.
Ancelotti's expression was extremely serious. He did not speak, but his heart sank. He began to realize that it was too difficult for his AC Milan to make a comeback in today's game. It was too difficult!
However, he had not given up yet. His team had many offensive talents, and they still had a chance.
*****
In the 72nd minute of the game, AC Milan finally scored again.
Pirlo's free kick was sent into the penalty area, and Shevchenko's header was saved.
Gilardino blocked Materazzi and chose to kick the football back to near the penalty area line.
Kaka rushed up and directly kicked a long shot. The football slid quickly along the turf, and César, whose vision was blocked, was unable to stop the football from entering the net.
“Goooooaaaaal!”
"Kaka! He pulled a goal back for AC Milan. "
"Two to four! AC Milan sees hope! "
After Kaka's goal, Li Ang immediately made a substitution.
With a wave of his signal, Stankovic came on as a substitute and replaced Mata, who could no longer run.
When the Spanish youngster left the field, he also received a standing ovation from the Inter Milan fans at the Meazza Stadium.
"Well done!" Li Ang hugged Mata and patted his proud disciple on the shoulder.
