Chapter 225 Intermission

The visiting team locker room at San Siro Stadium, this visiting team locker room, Inter Milan players have an opportunity to come here once a season, that is when they were the away team in the Milan derby.

At this time, the atmosphere in the locker room was very depressing.

Mancini is in a fit of anger.

"Look at what you are all doing?" This is the first sentence Mancini said after entering the visiting team's locker room, and he said in a cold tone that he was very angry. "Who asked you to take the ball on the court and shoot from a long time? I don't remember that during training, I told you that the way to break the opponent's intensive defense is to shoot from a long time!"

What made Mancini very angry was not only the team behind zero to two, but the overall appearance of the team after falling behind zero to two! The whole team was like a headless fly, with no clues in offense and some confusion in defense. This situation was far more worrying than falling behind zero to two.

Inter Milan players sat in their respective positions and remained silent.

The zero-to-two score puts them under tremendous pressure. If they lose this game, they will go from leading AC Milan two points to falling behind AC Milan one point. There is still one round in the league, and the initiative to win the championship will be snatched by AC Milan!

Inter Milan captain Zanetti also looked very bad. In the first half of this game, the team's performance was indeed bad. AC Milan's two goals seemed unsolvable, but in the final analysis, the team itself had problems.

Zanetti attaches great importance to this year's Serie A championship!

In the 2006/2007 season, that is, last season, although Inter Milan won the Serie A championship, Inter Milan dominated the entire Serie A after the phone gate. Therefore, in the eyes of many people, the value of Inter Milan's Serie A championship is the least valuable in so many years.

This also made Inter Milan players led by Inter Milan captain Zanetti very angry. They gritted their teeth and wanted to win the championship again this season, which proves that!

And this season, AC Milan performed very strongly. If it could step on the corpse of its mortal enemy in the city, it would undoubtedly be the happiest thing!

The process and results of the first half made Sanetti very dissatisfied, but it was not yet desperate. It was still fine. Although it was still zero to two, there was still a second half to fight!

After Mancini continued to get angry for a while, he began to make tactical arrangements for the second half.

"In the second half... I completely blocked Zhang Yang. I don't care what method you use, so I can't let him get the ball comfortably and pass the ball comfortably. He is a dangerous person, and I think you know this very well!"

"Matrazi, you have to keep a little more eye on it!" Mancini looked at Matrazi, "I don't want to criticize you too much, because you did a good job in the first half of Zhang Yang's defense, but this cannot conceal the two goals of Milan are related to Zhang Yang! This is not your responsibility alone, and the entire defense line should reflect on how to defend Zhang Yang!"

Although Mancini said that it was not Matrazi's responsibility alone, Matrazi still felt very uncomfortable, after all, he was named.

"Foof! The movements can be rougher, this is your specialty!" Mancini continued.

Matrazi nodded, not thinking that there was anything wrong with this saying, because he had such a characteristic, his movements were fierce and nothing shameful.

"On the offense..." Mancini waved and made a gesture to pull out, "If they don't come out, pull them out. I don't see the stupid way of breaking dense defense with frequent long shots! AC Milan will inevitably retract in the second half of the game, which will bring more trouble to your offense! Ibrahimovic, the team needs you to stand up at this time."

Mancini looked at Ibrahimovic and said.

Ibrahimovic's expression was serious, and he nodded, "I will."

"And Macon, you had very few assists in the first half." Mancini pointed the criticism at Macon again, "Do you need me to teach you how to play this game?"

"No, coach." Maicon couldn't raise his head because of criticism. "In the second half, you will see a different Maicon."

"I hope so." Mancini snorted.

"This is a Milan derby. This game will determine the title of the league championship this season! If we lose this game, you know what that means!" Mancini slapped the table hard, "If you don't want a season of hard work to be in vain. If you don't want to hear the criticism and sarcasm of those damn media about you, then try my best! Win the league championship!"

Mancini's expression was ferocious!

In fact, at this time he had reached an agreement with Inter Milan President Morati. After the end of the season, he will leave the position of Inter Milan as the head coach. Inter Milan will continue to pay Mancini's salary under the agreed contract as a compensation.

Although he has decided to leave, Mancini, like everyone else, no one wants to leave with the title of loser. The league champion, Mancini vows to win!

He wants to leave his post as head coach in Inter Milan with pride. He doesn't want to hear anyone's comment on his departure: the expelled loser!

At this time, Mourinho and Mendes had also returned to the private room.

Mourinho also knew that it was very difficult to dig Zhang Yang from AC Milan to Inter Milan, and it was almost impossible to complete, and it was even more difficult than Real Madrid to poach Kaka. Of course, this is not to say that Zhang Yang’s current importance and fame are more important than Kaka, but because of the relationship between Inter Milan and AC Milan.

Although there have been many memorable transfer transactions between these two teams in history, such as Pirlo and Seedorf transferred from Inter Milan to AC Milan, both Pirlo and Seedorf were in a downturn at that time. If these two performed well, Moratti would never let go. This principle also applies to AC Milan. Looking at Zhang Yang's current state and strength, it is almost impossible to imagine that AC Milan would sell such a goal-scoring shooter to his arch-rivaled rival Inter Milan in the same city.

Since it seems unlikely that Zhang Yang's transfer to Inter Milan, Mourinho will now win the award. This young man sees it as a strong resistance to lead Inter Milan to the championship next season.

Therefore, after the second half of the game began, Mourinho no longer only appreciated Zhang Yang's attitude. He wanted to analyze Zhang Yang's characteristics, find his shortcomings, and try to find ways to limit Zhang Yang.

Although Mourinho will become the head coach of Inter Milan next season, this "madman" coach has already started working.

At this time, the second half of the game had already begun.

"The second half has just begun, and everything is no different from the first half. Inter Milan launched a tide attack on AC Milan's penalty area, and AC Milan did not seem panic when leading 2-0. In fact, the tactics of defensive counterattack are very familiar to this team. Although the scene seems a bit ugly for AC Milan, considering the importance of this game, it is not surprising that this game must be ranked first for AC Milan! As for the viewing of the game, it is really nothing in front of the league championship."

The commentator said it well. During the half-time break, Ancelotti expressed his views and tactical intentions to the whole team, that is, in the second half, we must base ourselves on defense, try not to concede the ball as much as possible, or delay the time of conceding the ball. As for offense, if you have the chance, you can counterattack quickly, and if you don’t have the chance, you will forget it.

In a word, for victory!

About seven or eight minutes after the second half, Inter Milan's offensive began to fall and AC Milan regained some opportunities.

At this time, Zhang Yang felt the difference first. Because when he took the ball, the defensive pressure he had to face increased significantly.

Cambiaso was desperately pestering him like he had taken medicine, using his hands and feet. In addition, Matrazi, sometimes even Figo would come to defend him, which made him feel uncomfortable.

After all, Zhang Yang is not a star who is so lively with great footsteps like Ronaldinho. When driving at high speed, Zhang Yang's footsteps are very practical and beautiful. However, when he is trapped in the opponent's siege, he is a little powerless. Of course, in some cases, Zhang Yang will also explode. There is a word called "A light of inspiration". Unfortunately, he has no inspiration now.

In the 54th minute of the game, Zhang Yang had just received Kaka's pass, and Cambiaso rushed over. Sanetti, who was beside him, also came over and stared at him.

When he was forced too fiercely by Cambiaso, Zhang Yang had no choice but to pass the ball to Pirlo who came to pick up the ball. As soon as Pirlo got the ball, Sanetti rushed over. Faced with Sanetti's aggressive defense, Pirlo had no good idea, so he had to pass it back to Favalli on the wing again.

As soon as Favalli got the ball, he saw a figure pounce on him.

It's Macon!

Maicon suddenly inserted and intercepted the ball from the under-prepared Favalli!

"Favalli's ball was cut off!"

There were huge boos in the stands at San Siro Stadium because fans knew how dangerous it was to be stolen.

"Not good!" Seeing Falvalli's intercepted ball, Ancelotti stood up from her seat in shock.

Just now, Pirlo passed the ball back, and Favalli came up to catch the ball from the full-back position. What is behind Favalli? It is the penalty area! There, there are only two central defenders left!

At this time, Favalli's position was even behind Gattuso and Ambrosini, and the two of them had lost their meaning to the team's midfielder's protection!

Conceding the ball at this position means that Macon has great potential now!

His breakthrough, long shot, or pass can pose a great threat to AC Milan's goal!

This time, Favalli did not turn around immediately, but was stunned for a moment, then turned around and rushed towards Macon.

Mancini clenched his fists excitedly. He wanted this effect. This was exactly what he wanted when criticizing Macon. Macon was in his year of playing, and he was against Favalli, the old man. As long as Macon performed at the level he should have, Favalli was no match at all!

Maicon dribbled the ball, and Favali chased after him. In an instant, both of them entered the penalty area.

Nesta was originally coming up and planned to intercept Macon, but when he saw Macon enter the penalty area, Nesta must be cautious. He dare not make any moves rashly now. He also needs to pay attention to Ibrahimovic and Crespo on both sides, for fear that Macon will suddenly pass the ball. And this possibility is not inferior. After all, Macon is just a full-back, not a theoretical offensive finisher.

After entering the penalty area, Maikong deliberately slowed down, and he seemed to be observing the situation.

It was at this moment that Nesta pounced on him decisively!

However, Macon was waiting for the moment when Nesta pounced on him. For him, Favalli behind him could no longer pose a threat. He was afraid of Nesta, and what he was waiting for was Nesta's move first to grab it.

The moment Nesta passed the ball, Maikon pushed the arch and the ball rolled to the right side of the penalty area!

The goal of the pass is Ibrahimovic!

Maldini fell to the ground and slipped the ball, trying to destroy the pass.

Ibrahimovic's long legs played a role. He stretched out his right leg very casually and pulled the football over. Then he turned around and leaned on the other side to defend him Ambrosini, while he raised his arms and trolled the ball under his feet to prepare for the goal...

At this moment, Ibrahimovic suddenly fell to the ground!

The referee's whistle sounded!

"Punishment!"

The referee walked forward, first pointed at the point of the ball, then took out a card from his pocket and walked towards the veteran Farvalli who was a little confused and dazed at this time.

Favalli was indeed in a daze. After the veteran was intercepted, he tried his best to chase back. He said that the speed was not fast enough to not catch up with Macon. However, when he saw Macon pass the ball to Ibrahimovic, he immediately transferred the target and rushed to Ibrahimovic.

While Maldini was sliding toward the football, Favalli also shoveled.

The problem lies here. When Favali was shoveling, Ibrahimovic was stopping the ball. When he shoveled with his feet against the sod, Ibrahimovic had just pulled the ball and turned around. What was the result?

Ibrahimovic was directly brought down from behind by Favalli.

"Punishment ball plus red card! There is no doubt about this!" The commentator close to Inter Milan shouted excitedly, "Will this be a turning point in this game?"
