Restricted Superstar

The 18th round of the league against the flying donkey Chievo was the first match in 10 years and the last match of the first half.

It is both the end and the beginning. Although Inter Milan, who is 8 points ahead of second-place AC Milan, won the half-time championship, but this game is very important both up and down, hoping to make a good start in the away game.

Although Chievo is only ranked 12th, they are definitely a tough one. They only upgraded from Serie B last season. Inter Milan only got a record of one win and one draw. Roma and Juventus have also eaten enough on Chievo. Suffering, this time Inter Milan is in the away game, it is not easy to take all three points.

It’s still cold in Italy in January. The match between Inter Milan and Chievo is scheduled to be held at 12:30 in the morning. This time is 19:30 in the evening in China. This is definitely a good news for Chinese Serie A fans and Gao. They finally You can enjoy Gao Xiaodong's performance without staying up late.

As Eto'o and Montari returned to play in the Africa Cup, Samuel's injury is still not completely healed, and Inter Milan's lineup has also undergone considerable changes.

The central defender became Lucio and Materazzi partner, while the left back was played by Chivor, Zanetti and Cambiasso partnered with double midfielders, Gao Xiaodong, Balotelli, Stankovic partnered Three midfielders, Milito single center.

In the first two games, Cordoba, who played with Lucio’s partner, sat on the bench. Mourinho explained that Chievo’s high-altitude ball is very threatening. Inter Milan needs Materazzi’s header, but the fans and Sky Sports commentator Mazzola doesn't think so.

During the Christmas season, Manchester City fired the head coach Mark Hughes from the start of the Premier League. The former Inter Milan coach Mancini was hired as coach for £6 million. After Mancini took office, he immediately expressed the hope that the original Inter Milan subordinates could come. Manchester City played.

Cordoba was the first to stand up for it. He said that if Mancini wants him to go to Manchester City, he will seriously consider it.

Mazzola has a very poor relationship with Mourinho. He said: "Many Inter Milan players have a good relationship with Mannich, and they also have close ties in private, but no one will publicly say that they want to go to Manchester City. Cole This statement made by Doba made Mourinho very shameless. With Mourinho's retributive character, letting Cordoba sit on the bench must be a small revenge."

Cordoba is not afraid that Mourinho is upset. He was originally a substitute. As long as Samuel recovers from injury, even if he does not sin against Mourinho, he will not be the main force. Therefore, he sits on the bench. Cole Doba still talked with Pandev in a relaxed manner to help Pandev familiarize himself with the situation of the team.

After the start of the game, facing Serie A overlord Inter Milan Chievo played proactively, offensive and defensive orderly, without fear at all.

Inter Milan entered the state slightly, and in the second minute of the game, Chievo midfielder Marcolini took the ball directly from the left sideline to find his striker Bogdani.

Bogdani is 1.91 meters tall and is the key defensive target of Inter Milan. Lucio is specifically responsible for marking him.

Faced with the ball, Bogdani did not take it, but cleverly moved to take Lucio away and gave the ball to his partner Pelisier.

Pelisier is less than 1.8 meters tall, fast and experienced. He put the ball to the side of Materazzi, who is a big horse, accelerates rapidly, and slams to the left of the penalty area.

At this moment Materazzi's speed couldn't keep up, and Cambiasso didn't have time to help defend, so he could only watch Pelisier enter the penalty area from his side.

The goalkeeper Cesar attacked very decisively. He blocked the near corner and rushed towards Pelisier.

Pelisier did not adjust the time, nor did he have room for the goalkeeper, so he could only volley with his left foot from a small angle.

Cesar eagerly reached out to hit the ball without touching the ball. The ball flew past Cesar's hand and flew out of the baseline against the near goal post.

Although the ball did not score, Chievo's attack was very threatening. If Cesar did not attack in time, maybe Pelisier would have scored the ball.

Mourinho returned to the coaching bench from the sidelines. He was so scared that he stood up again before he sat down. He knew that the donkey was not easy to fight, but he still didn't expect his opponent to enter the state so quickly, and he made it at the beginning of the game. A shot opportunity.

Mourinho’s two central defenders are both tall and large, while Chievo’s two forwards are one high and one fast, cooperating with each other, and Inter Milan is a bit troublesome to defend.

In the fifth minute of the game, Balotelli took the ball and was knocked down. Gao Xiaodong quickly gave a free kick. The ball was ejected by Chievo’s central defender Yepes. Chievo took the ball and launched a quick counterattack. The ball was passed to Pelisier and Pelli. Sie tried to assault Materazzi with speed again, but was hit by full-back Chivo.

This was a tactical foul, and the referee Pierre Pauli showed Chivu a yellow card.

Only five minutes into the game, Inter Milan's left-back Chivu received a yellow card, which is quite detrimental to Inter Milan's defense.

Inter Milan fans feel that the situation is not right and their expressions are serious. No one wants to lose in the first game of the new year. Moreover, Inter Milan is currently unbeaten in 17 games. Inter Milan fans also hope that they can win the championship with an unbeaten record. Don't let the rivals in the same city be beautiful. If you lose, you don't know when you can complete such a miracle.

Chievo’s free kick was almost 25 meters away from the goal. Chievo midfielder Marcolini came to take the penalty. Facing Cesar, one of the best goalkeepers in Serie A, Marcolini was too angling. He took the free kick. Missed the goal post.

It took ten minutes for Inter Milan to finally get into shape.

Gao Xiaodong caught the ball with his back, flirted with his outside instep, and passed it to Balotelli. He quickly turned around and bypassed Rigoni, who was defending him. Balotelli then knocked Gao Xiaodong and beat him. Beautiful two-on-one match.

Gao Xiaodong didn't wait for the defensive players to make up, and shot directly.

The ball was extremely fast, Milito did not escape in the penalty area, and the ball hit his leg slightly wide of the goal post.

An exclamation sounded from the stands. Chievo's fans were very scared. If it weren't for Milito's lap, could their goalkeeper Sorrentino save it? If it hits Milito's leg and bounces in the door frame, then it must be a goal.

He Hui, the CCTV commentator who came to the scene to explain, regretted: "A good opportunity, if Xiaodong scores, he can get rid of Milito and dominate the top scorer list. Both of them have scored 14 goals. The three Di Natales scored 13...Chievo opened a long ball to attack...Bogdani grabbed the header and the ball was passed to Luciano...Luciano went straight...Pellisier Cut diagonally, Materazzi followed defense, Pelicie fell to the ground... fell to the ground in the penalty area!!! It depends on what the referee judges... As long as the whistle is a penalty! Fortunately! The referee Pierre Pauli did not say that he Signaling the game to continue..."

Pellisier tripped by Materazzi, but the referee did not award a penalty kick. This made Chievo’s players a little excited. Most of them raised their hands in protest and did not delay Inter Milan’s counterattack at the first time. In good times, Inter Milan has passed the ball in two passes to Chievo's 30-meter area.

This area is very dangerous. In this area, players with the ball can directly shoot long distances or cooperate with teammates. Skilled players can also directly break into the penalty area, while defenders are difficult to defend. 8)
