"That's true." Even Ferrary didn't know what to say. The mistake that Emerson had made today was too unbelievable.
"No matter what the result of today's match is, Emerson has successfully become the biggest star on the field in his own way," Rossi continued to say sarcastically.
Li Ang stood on the sidelines and watched with interest as Emerson left the field with a 'miserable' expression. In his mind, the Brazilian midfielder's performance was simply hilarious. Of course, he was happy to see it happen.
Ancelotti's face was gloomy, and he ignored Emerson as he walked past him. The good guy was also angry.
Tassotti sighed. At this time, he was the only one who could comfort him. He went up and patted Emerson's shoulder, comforting him in a low voice.
Emerson did not seem to hear it either. He walked toward the players' corridor as if he had lost his soul. He had lost a lot of face today. This Milan derby was watched by at least a few hundred million people around the world. A few hundred million people saw how terrible and laughable his performance was. Moreover, it was completely conceivable that every time before the Milan derby, every time the Milan derby was reviewed on sports television programs around the world, he, Emerson, would appear in the background.
This was going to be recorded in the annals of history.
The camera zoomed in on Galliani in the stands. Galliani's face was ashen. Bringing in Emerson had been his proudest achievement in the summer. Now, everything had been screwed up. It could not get any worse.
*****
Inter Milan was awarded a penalty kick.
The penalty kick was taken by the team's top penalty taker, Adriano. After a long run-up, he shot with great force. The goalkeeper judged the direction correctly, but the ball was too fast. When he pounced, the ball had already hit the net behind him.
“Goooooaaaaal！”
"Adriano calmly scores the penalty kick!"
"The scales of victory are completely tilted towards Inter Milan. They are now two goals ahead. Not only that, they also have the advantage in numbers!"
Inter Milan scored another goal with Adriano's penalty kick, leading AC Milan by three goals to one.
AC Milan, who had lost a defensive midfielder, had to adjust their strategy.
Ancelotti replaced the Dutch veteran, Seedorf, who had a mediocre performance today, with the midfielder, Brocchi, to maintain the defensive strength of the midfield.
This time, the completely passive substitution messed up AC Milan's deployment.
It could even be said that Ancelotti's substitution was tantamount to admitting defeat in advance. Ancelotti no longer held any hope for the victory of this game. Bringing on Brocchi to strengthen the defense was more significant in avoiding the loss of goals. One against three wasn't too shameful. If they continued to lose goals and their net loss was more than three, it would be considered a crushing defeat.
*****
Although Ancelotti's adjustment seemed a little cowardly.
However, in a sense, it was still relatively stable. In a situation where losing was inevitable, trying to avoid the huge negative impact of a fiasco on the team was the only choice.
However, the players on the field might not understand Ancelotti's difficulties.
Ibrahimović was furious. In the eyes of the Swede, Ancelotti's substitution was too conservative and cowardly.
The Swede, who was angered by Li Ang's remarks before the game, vowed to score in this game to help AC Milan win and take revenge. Only in this way would he not become a laughing stock when he said that he wanted to help and lead AC Milan to stop Li Ang and Inter Milan.
However, things did not go as planned.
Ancelotti's adjustment clearly sent a signal to the players. In the later part of the game, scoring goals was no longer the most important thing. The most important thing was to avoid the loss of goals.
AC Milan, who were already at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, had a poor offense. In the later part of the game, it was even more difficult for them to pose any threat to Inter Milan's goal.
This made Ibrahimović even more isolated and helpless in the front. He was in a bad mood, and his fiery temper immediately flared up.
*****
In the 76th minute of the game, Ibrahimović received a long pass from his teammate in the backfield in the front field. He immediately fell into a double-team from Inter Milan's two center backs.
Ibrahimović leaned back against Samuels. He followed the back with the tip of his foot. At this time, the other Inter Milan center back, Marco Materazzi, had already leaped into the air in an attempt to break free. Ibrahimović did not retract his leg. At the same time, he fully extended his arm and mercilessly slammed into Materazzi. As a result, Ibrahimović's left elbow directly hit Materazzi's cheekbone. Materazzi immediately screamed and fell to the ground.
Ibrahimović's suspected intentional elbow attack caused strong dissatisfaction among the Inter Milan players.
The Inter Milan Team captain, Zanetti, was the first to rush toward Ibrahimović. Several other Inter Milan players also rushed over angrily.
When the other AC Milan players saw this, they naturally could not watch Ibrahimović suffer. Ambrosini and Brocchi hurried up and confronted the Inter Milan players, separating them from Ibrahimović.
Kaka hurriedly pulled Ibrahimović and motioned for him to leave the field quickly.
This was because the referee did not hesitate to directly show Ibrahimović a red card. He was very close to the scene of the incident and could see clearly that Ibrahimović's elbow attack was too vile.
*****
In the stands of the Giuseppe Meazza Stadium, the boos shook the sky.
"Bastard! Damn it! "Li Ang was furious on the sidelines. He was worried about Materazzi's injury.
Chivu had pulled a muscle during the warm-up before the game. If Materazzi was injured again, his center back position would be in a personnel crisis. Moreover, for a big man like Ibrahimović, his elbow was ruthless enough. He was also worried about Materazzi.
Inter Milan's team doctor also hurried onto the field to check on Materazzi's injury.
After a simple examination, the team doctor directly gestured to the sidelines to make a substitution.
"F * ck!" Li Ang cursed and motioned for Banderas to hurry to inform Bonucci to warm up.
A stretcher entered the field and directly carried Materazzi off the field. At the same time, the ambulance also entered the field to prepare.
In the midst of the boos, Ibrahimović left the field and walked toward the players' corridor without looking back. The camera deliberately zoomed in on Ancelotti. The AC Milan manager's face was quite ugly.
After a simple warm-up, Bonucci was changed to the field.
After another examination on the sidelines, Materazzi was carried to the ambulance.
The ambulance siren sounded and drove away from the field.
*****
"Let's take a look again. Ibrahimović's elbow was really ruthless." Ferrari said with a grimace. Just looking at it was painful enough. "I hope Materazzi's problem is not serious. God bless him."
"Ibrahimović's mentality is obviously unbalanced. He could have taken back that move, but he didn't!" Rossi criticized. "That's a nasty move that hurts people. The Swede will pay for it. He's very likely to be suspended!"
Less than 80 minutes into the game, AC Milan was dealt another blow. Ibrahimović was sent off with a red card for his malicious elbow. They now only had nine players on the field.
"AC Milan is bound to lose. They've lost both the game and their players."
"Li Ang's face is also very ugly. Materazzi's injury has obviously made him extremely angry."
At this time, Li Ang directly asked Marchisio and Balotelli to warm up on the sidelines.
Three minutes later, Inter Milan requested a substitution.
Balotelli came on as a substitute and replaced Agüero.
Marchisio came on as a substitute and replaced Modric.
*****
"Li Ang is deploying his players. Is he going to beat the gong to withdraw?" Ferrari said. "With a score of three to one, Li Ang should be satisfied."
Seeing Li Ang replace Agüero and Modric, the commentators guessed that Li Ang was going to stop playing.
However, Marchisio, who came on as a substitute, directly found his teammates and conveyed the manager's latest instructions. "The coach is very dissatisfied. He said he wants to score more goals!"
