March 19, 2008, Genoa, Ferrari Stadio Olimpico.
The twenty-ninth round of the 20072008 Serie A season.
The Ferrari Stadio Olimpico, which could accommodate more than thirty thousand fans, was almost full.
The newly promoted team, Genoa, had performed well in the Serie A this season, and the market was very hot. In this match, they were up against the defending champions, Inter Milan. This was a match that could determine the league champions of the season. If Genoa could stop Inter Milan from winning the title ahead of time, this match would be recorded in history.
Furthermore, it should be known that in the current Serie A championship history, Genoa had successfully reached the top nine times, second only to the two great teams, Juventus and Milan. Although Genoa's glory was more than half a century ago, even when the Serie A was just starting, it was still the pride of the Genoese. They certainly did not want to see Inter Milan win the league title on their turf.
After the start of the match, Genoa showed a strong desire to attack. Their manager, Gasperini, was not conservative. They took advantage of their home ground advantage and took the lead to attack Inter Milan's goal.
Fabiano and Rossi flew together on both sides, constantly trying to break through Inter Milan's defensive line.
Unfortunately, in terms of strength, the gap between them and Inter Milan was too big.
After attacking for nearly ten minutes, they did not pose any threat to Inter Milan. Genoa's attack was thwarted, and Inter Milan immediately showed their strong strength.
*****
In the twelfth minute of the match, Inter Milan played a beautiful combination, launching an attack from the goalkeeper, Cesar. Carlos passed the ball to Decaux, who dribbled the ball forward, and then sent a cross pass. Mata missed the ball, and Adriano's powerful long shot caused Genoa's goalkeeper, Rubinho, to lose his grip on the ball. Cassano hooked the ball back, and then a sweep shot, penetrating Genoa's goal.
Inter Milan took the lead with a 1: 0!
"Antonio Cassano! He scored with a rebound shot! After Agüero's injury, Cassano will get more chances to play. Now he used this goal to tell everyone that he is trustworthy! "
"1: 0! Cassano! His goal could bring Inter Milan the league title! "
"Inter Milan showed everyone how strong they are. Genoa's attack didn't threaten Inter Milan's goal. They used this wonderful goal to tell everyone that no one can stop them from becoming champions!"
*****
Cassano scored the first goal for Inter Milan. This goal also allowed Inter Milan to completely relax. They understood that the title was in their hands and no one could stop them!
Li Ang stood up from the technical area and cheered for the goal!
He glanced in the direction of Genoa's technical area. Gasperini indeed had the guts to go head-to-head with Inter Milan. This was exactly what he wanted.
After conceding a goal, Renaya did not retreat to defend. Instead, they continued to attack. Since they were in the middle of the league, they did not have to worry about staying in the league, so they could play to their heart's content.
However, sixteen minutes later, the city gates of Genoa were lost once more.
The loophole behind Genoa's attack was torn to shreds by Inter Milan.
This time, the one who scored for Inter Milan was Adriano. After receiving Mata's pass, he successfully charged into the penalty area from an offside position and shot at the goal. The ball flew extremely fast into the net, and the goalkeeper, Rubinho, could do nothing about it!
"Adriano! This is his nineteenth goal of the league season! He continues to lead the scoring charts! "
"2: 0! Adriano's goal helped Inter Milan secure the victory in the first half of the game! "
In the away stands of the Ferrari Stadio, Inter Milan fans erupted into loud cheers. At this moment, in Milan, in countless bars, countless Inter Milan fans hugged and cheered. Yes!
They knew that Inter Milan was only an hour away from their third consecutive Serie A title!
*****
At the end of the first half of the game, Inter Milan led Genoa by 2: 0.
At the start of the second half of the game, Fabiano sent out a diagonal pass, and Borriello's header crossed a hundred times. Di Vaio scored with a low shot, and Genoa pulled a goal back.
The Genoa fans in the Ferrari Stadio erupted into loud cheers. They seemed to have seen the hope of equalizing the score.
However, just three minutes later, Mata increased Inter Milan's lead to another two goals.
This was a straight pass from Decaux, and Cassano made the ball for Mata. The latter dribbled the ball into the penalty area, knocked past the battered Bovo, and then volleyed the ball into the near corner!
“Goooooaaaaal！”
"The Genoa player just scored, and Inter Milan pulled the score apart again!"
"The mighty Inter Milan rejects all accidents!"
In the visiting fans' stands at the Ferrari Stadio, the Inter Milan fans cheered. After that, the stadium was filled with the cheers and songs of the visiting fans.
Inter Milan's fans were unscrupulously celebrating their championship in advance in the away game, and they did not take Genoa seriously at all.
Genoa, who had always been more tenacious, was beaten to a pulp by this goal. They had a deep understanding of Inter Milan's strength at this moment. This mighty overlord was not someone they could match.
*****
In the 71st minute of the game, Inter Milan increased the score again.
The substitute Montari's long shot was blocked. Decaux then controlled the ball and instigated a second attack. He passed the ball to the side, and the substitute Arshavin passed the ball to Mai Kong in front of the opponent's goal. He squeezed Milan's Benito away and successfully snatched the shot to break the goal!
4: 1!
There was no suspense at all!
Inter Milan had completely locked in the victory!
They had locked in the Premier League title!
This goal was a heavy blow to Genoa. Then, with close to 20 minutes left until the end of the game, Genoa had already given up resistance.
The entire stadium was filled with the cheers of the visiting fans and the Inter Milan fans in the stands.
In the 80th minute of the game, the players on the Inter Milan substitutes' bench could no longer sit still. They stood up and stood on the sidelines, high-fived each other, hugged each other, and could not wait for the game to end so that they could rush onto the field to celebrate the championship title!
The commentators began to introduce Inter Milan's championship experience this season. In fact, there was really nothing much to say. Inter Milan won the championship with a complete victory. Their performance was too strong, and the championship title was already theirs!
"… The performance of Manager Li Ang's Inter Milan is too strong. They are invincible and undefeatable! Whether it was Juventus, Roma, or their city rival AC Milan, none of them could stop Inter Milan. Whether it was at the Stadio Alpi, the Stadio Olimpico in Rome, or the San Siro, Inter Milan defeated their opponents without any suspense … From the beginning of the season, they were firmly in the lead, and no one could shake their lead! "
"Compared to the previous two seasons, this season's Inter Milan is even stronger. With a complete victory record, they won the championship nine rounds ahead of time. This has made history in Serie A …"
"In the 20052006 season, Li Ang had just taken charge of Inter Milan. In that season, Inter Milan still gave them a certain amount of trouble, but Inter Milan stubbornly overcame all the difficulties and won the first Serie A title for Inter Milan in the Moratti era. In the 20062007 season, without Juventus, whether it was Roma or AC Milan, especially Roma, although they gave Inter Milan a certain amount of trouble, Inter Milan still won the championship ahead of time. And in this season, Inter Milan is stronger than ever! Manager Li Ang's Inter Milan has unscrupulously shown everyone their strength and won the championship. They have won three consecutive championships! I think … we can now say that a dynasty, a blue-black dynasty, has been established! "
*****
The ninety-minute game was up. The referee simply did not add time. As soon as the game time was up, he blew the whistle to end the game.
On the field, Inter Milan's players ran wildly, cheered, and celebrated!
On the substitutes' bench, Inter Milan's players and coaches rushed onto the field, hugging and shouting.
Their manager, Mr. Li Ang, stood on the sidelines, waving his arms and cheering. He had a confident smile on his face. He accepted the hugs of his assistants, the hugs of his players, and the congratulations of his opponents.
"Congratulations, Li. You are worthy of the title of champion!"
The Chinese manager of Inter Milan nodded slightly. With a reserved but unconcealable proud smile, he accepted the congratulations of his opponents. He raised his hand to look at the sky. Under the illumination of the floodlights, it was so bright …
Then he was hugged by the excited players who rushed up to him. They lifted him up and threw him high into the air …
On March 19, 2008, Li Ang led Inter Milan in the 29th round of the Serie A League. They defeated Genoa in the away game at Ferrari without any suspense. With a great record of winning all 29 rounds of the league, they picked up the 20072008 Serie A League Championship nine rounds ahead of schedule!
This was their third consecutive Serie A League Championship.
"Three years ago, this Chinese man came to Milan and was called the captain of the blue-black battleship. Three years later, he created a dynasty … He wrote his name into the history of Italian football. This proud Chinese man has conquered all opponents and voices of doubt!" The commentator said in an aria. "Now, the entire Apennine Peninsula is crawling at his feet …"
