Restricted Superstar

On December 21st, in the 17th round of Serie A, Inter Milan played against Lazio at home.

This is the last game before Christmas and the last game of 2009. Inter Milan, who has been unbeaten in 16 league games, is bound to win this game.

Lazio lost to Inter Milan in the Super Cup held in the Bird's Nest of China. They also hope to avenge Inter Milan in the away game and break Inter Milan's undefeated golden status.

Although Inter Milan stumbled in the Champions League this season, they have an outstanding league record. They have not lost a game so far. The fans are enthusiastic, and the home attendance rate has been high. And Lazio's last game before the winter break, May More than 70,000 people came to the Acha Stadium, which made Chairman Moratti very happy.

One of the focus of this game is the return of Inter Milan's old Cruiser to Meazza.

Although Cruz was quite critical of Inter Milan after he was purged to Lazio by Mourinho, the Inter Milan fans still remembered his contribution. Before the start of the game, the stand was hung up "We did not forget you," Cruise, welcome home." banner.

Another focus is Lazio star Pandev, who is about to move to Inter Milan.

During the summer transfer, Pandev wanted to transfer, but Lazio chairman Lotito refused to agree. He asked Inter Milan, Juventus and other clubs who wanted to buy Pandev for a huge transfer fee. Pandev and the club froze, and the poisonous Lotito directly Put Pandev into the cold palace, so far he has not been allowed to play in a game, and he is not allowed to practice with the first team.

Pandev also came in this game, but he appeared in the stands of neutral fans.

In the Bird's Nest Super Cup, Lazio and Inter Milan still played inextricably, Inter Milan won the championship with Gao Xiaodong's hat trick.

After half a season of running-in, Inter Milan's strength has greatly increased, and they can already wrestle their wrists with Barcelona, ​​but Lazio himself has put the core Pandev and Ledesma into the cold palace. Now they are only one step away from the relegation zone. , Lost to Sofia Levsky 0-1 at home in the middle of the week, and the Europa League failed to qualify. The two teams met again, and Lazio was left with defensive counterattacks.

Under Gao Xiaodong's organization and scheduling, Inter Milan's offensive play was very smooth, penetrated in the center, and flew on both wings, but Moratti's attention was not on the field, he was actively communicating with Lazio chairman Lotito.

"Chairman Lotito, I think you should think about it. If the court decides that Lazio loses, you won’t get a penny. If you agree to a transfer fee of 5 million euros, you can rent out our youth team for free. The best scorer, 18-year-old center Destro."

Moratti was very sincere. He already knew the possible outcome of Pandev's case against Lazio through his relationship. Pandev will win. However, Lazio and Inter Milan have a good relationship. Inter Milan does not want to get into trouble with Lazio, so that he cannot buy from Lazio in the future. To the players, so this 5 million euros is to give Lazio face money.

But Lotito was very indignant, "It's a joke to get Pandev for 5 million, Massimo, don't be delusional, it's impossible."

Moratti said unhappily: "Lottito, you have to face the reality. Pandev would rather not play than stay in Lazio. He is determined and really needs to go to court for a confrontation. I think it’s not for anyone. Well, I still hope that you will settle it peacefully before the judgment of the Professional League Arbitration Court."

Lotito said: "Peaceful settlement? No, Massimo, there is no peace anymore. This is the reality. Pandev is still a Lazio player. This is also the reality."

Moratti also wanted to continue to persuade Lotito, this time the huge cheers from the stands led his attention to the stadium.

On the court, Gao Xiaodong got rid of two consecutive Lazio players with the ball and passed the ball to Eto'o, who will play the African Cup in January.

Gao Xiaodong made a very accurate pass. Eto'o, who was not good at header, also grabbed the spot. However, Eto'o's header skills were not high and the angle of the top was a bit positive. The ball was strenuously saved by Mouslera. .

However, Eto'o reacted quickly, he rushed to shoot before the defender, hit the ball into the net with his chest, and took the lead for Inter Milan.

After scoring the goal, Eto'o was very excited and ran halfway across the court to thank Gao Xiaodong.

Eto'o is very shrewd. He knows that in the month he is going to play in the Africa Cup, Inter Milan will definitely replace him with Balotelli or possibly Pandev and Sneijder. If the newcomer performs well, he will be able to come back. It's hard to say if he can't keep the position of the absolute main force. Now he is trying every means to build a good relationship with Gao Xiaodong.

Milito is also under pressure. Although Pandev and Sneijder, who are now vigorously introduced by Inter Milan, are not centers, Balotelli can play center, and Gao Xiaodong can also play center. He must perform better to keep the main force. s position.

After Eto'o scored, Milito was more active, running non-stop in the front court, looking for any chance to score.

In the midfield, Montari also wants to play the Africa Cup. He is also worried that he will come back after playing the Africa Cup and find that the main position is gone. Therefore, his performance in this game is more positive than the others, and he is even considered desperate. The Ghanaian fans sitting in front of the TV were frightened, for fear of Montari's injury.

Mourinho nodded frequently from the sidelines and was very satisfied with the performance of the players. Such Inter Milan is the Inter Milan in his mind.

Lazio prepared to launch a counterattack after losing the ball, but Inter Milan did not give them a chance. Under Inter Milan's strong attack, Lazio could not attack even if he wanted to attack, so he could only continue to defend unwillingly.

Inter Milan's offensive was in full swing and played very well, but the ball was average. The shot was either saved by goalkeeper Muslera bravely, or blocked by the goalpost and defender, or was unable to score the second goal.

At the end of the first half, the embarrassed Lazio magically defended the 0:1 score and gave himself a chance to equalize.

During the intermission, Mourinho exaggerated the players, believing that they played Inter Milan's best first half in half a season. The only drawback is that the ability to seize opportunities in front of the goal is not good. He asked the players not to worry, calmly deal with the goal.

After the start of the second half, Inter Milan continued to attack. Gao Xiaodong, Eto'o, Milito, Montari and Motta passed and cooperated continuously, tearing Lazio's defense line, and finally Motta obliquely blocked his ribs and Gao Xiaodong faced. A cross to the goalkeeper Muslera, Milito made a push from the penalty spot and scored the ball into the empty goal.

2:0

Inter Milan made ten consecutive passes, completing a Barcelona-like attack, and finally passed the ball into the goal.

Mourinho was extremely excited to watch. He rushed out of the coach's bench, waved his arms at the stands and shouted, allowing fans to applaud the players for their wonderful performance.

The stands are already boiling. Inter Milan fans are used to seeing players winning in the league, but such a beautiful offense is really not seen. In the Mancini era, the offense was very constipated, and every goal scored seemed to be stumbling. Mourinho's team scored very sharply, simple and efficient, but not beautiful, and today, they finally saw a beautiful Inter Milan.

The on-site commentator Reka couldn’t help but praised: “It’s not like a team trained by Mourinho, but I want to ask, if the team can win and play so beautifully, why do you want to play again? Buying Sneijder and Pandev, Pandev is still down. He is very likely to join for free, but Sneijder does not want to come to Inter Milan. He really bought him. Is he willing to sit on the bench? Let Sneijder and Pandev play, international Can Milan still play such a beautiful cooperation?"

Obviously, Inter Milan was also moved by their ability to play such a beautiful cooperation. In the game later in the second half, they were a bit too pursued to cooperate with each other, and lacked the original sharpness and toughness, but they did not have the absolute upper hand. To achieve a hearty victory, in the end just defeated Lazio 2:0, ending all the games in 2009.
