Inter Milan's offense is very sharp, and Chievo's combination of high and one fast forward also caused Inter Milan's defense to suffer.

In the 25th minute, Chievo played the most beautiful match in the first half.

Marcolini passed a curve ball from the left, Pelisier quickly grabbed the front point, Materazzi quickly came over and close, Pelisier made a barb pass after stopping the ball on the bottom line.

Flying donkey center Bogdani ferryed the header, and midfielder Ventivolio stabs Zanetti on his toe at 9 meters from the goal.

Inter Milan goalkeeper Cesar's attention was very concentrated, he saw that it was too late to fall to the ground, and eagerly blocked the ball out of the baseline with his foot.

Chievo’s attack shocked Inter Milan’s in a cold sweat, but it inspired Chievo’s fighting spirit. The atmosphere in the stands was more enthusiastic and the players on the pitch were more aggressive. The Chievo’s home stadium, Bengtgoti, was originally not big. , With the active running of Chievo players, the stadium appears to be smaller, Inter Milan's passing errors have increased significantly, and Chievo's counterattacks in the midfield are also increasing.

Inter Milan played very experienced, passive, still did not forget to fight Chievo's counterattack.

In the 30th minute of the game, Maicon initiated a quick counterattack after stealing the ball from the right. He hit Chievo's penalty area and crossed from the side. Milito suddenly nodded to the goal and Chievo goalkeeper Sorrentino flew away. The save was too late, but the ball hit the side net.

Milito's header didn't frighten Chievo. They kept trying to attack just like the opening game, and they took the initiative on the court.

On the sidelines, Chievo coach DiCarlo was not at ease about the situation on the court. He knew how sharp Inter Milan's counterattack was. If he didn't quickly equalize the score, he was hit by Inter Milan a few more counterattacks, and the goal was probably dangerous.

"Press on, press on!"

"Calm down! Shoot calmly!"

DiCarlo waved and made forward pressure gestures, and kept shouting, allowing the players to increase the intensity of the offense.

Mourinho is also not easy, the opponents attacked so fiercely, Inter Milan's most important position in the defender still has major flaws, if you say bad, the opponent will get one.

Any game is a good counterattack, but a difficult offense. Once Chievo equalizes, he will certainly not attack like he is now. At that time, Inter Milan will be the trouble.

However, the quality of Inter Milan's counterattack is not high, no wonder the frontcourt players, mainly the two midfielders Cambiasso and Zanetti.

Due to Materazzi’s slow turning around and slow speed, Cambiasso asked him to help him to defend Pelisie constantly. This not only affected Cambiasso’s passing in the counterattack, but also Cambiasso’s forward. With assists, Inter Milan's frontcourt players could not get the ball in the first time. When the opponent's defensive players are in place, they have already missed the best time to counterattack.

Mourinho saw the problem, and he also had a way to deal with it, but Mourinho was not eager to replace, but let Gao Xiaodong retreat and assist the backcourt.

After Gao Xiaodong retreated, Cambiasso and Zanetti focused on defense, the pressure on the back line was greatly reduced, and the counterattack became more threatening.

In the 38th minute of the game, Zanetti used his good prediction to steal Luciano's pass and passed the ball to Gao Xiaodong. Gao Xiaodong quickly divided the sides and passed to Chivu who was in front.

Chiwo dribbled the ball quickly along the wing, passed the middle circle and then passed it to Gao Xiaodong. Gao Xiaodong passed to Stankovic, and the ball had hit Chievo's hinterland.

Stankovic has a special skill with a long shot, Chievo didn't dare to give him space, and hurriedly came over to fight.

Stankovic was also the master who was able to pass and shoot when he was young. He has been doing dirty work for a long time in Inter Milan. Now his passing ability has been greatly degraded and he can't do fine work. If he can't take a long shot, he immediately passes the ball again. For Gao Xiaodong, Gao Xiaodong has entered the 30-meter area at this moment. After the ball passed, he kept the ball directly to Milito between the two central defenders.

Milito turned his back to the goal, this time there was no chance to break and shoot, nor did he force the ball, and directly returned the ball to Gao Xiaodong.

Gao Xiaodong also didn't stop the ball, and then another straight kick hit the ribs of the penalty area.

When Gao Xiaodong just passed the ball to Milito, Balotelli had already penetrated his ribs. Seeing that Gao Xiaodong hadn’t passed it to him, but gave it to Milito, he yelled anxiously, but Balotelli just screamed. As soon as he slowed down, he didn't expect Gao Xiaodong's ball to pass.

Even if Balotelli was a little slower, Chievo's defender did not keep up. Balotelli chased the ball and pushed it directly to the bottom left corner of the goal.

Gao Xiaodong's two-footed thrusts were too fast, and goalkeeper Sorrentino moved to the left. Balotelli completed the shot. Sorrentino struggling to block the ball, but the ball bounced again. In front of Balotelli, Balotelli kept up and shot again, the ball went straight into the empty goal.

2:0

After scoring, Balotelli cheered and ran to Gao Xiaodong and hugged Gao Xiaodong vigorously, "It's a good pass! You really assisted me!"

Gao Xiaodong slapped Balotelli on the back and praised: "Good shot! Mario! Work hard! You will become the main force!"

"Yes! I will definitely become the main force!"

Balotelli put down Gao Xiaodong and ran to the stands, taking off his jersey while running.

Gao Xiaodong was taken aback. He remembered that Balotelli seemed to have accumulated three yellow cards, and he was suspended for one game after stripping. He hurried over to stop him, but Balotelli had already taken off his jersey and was waving. To greet the fans, Gao Xiaodong had to stop silently.

Mourinho’s nose on the sidelines was almost crooked. After Eto'o left, the Inter Milan striker was already short of people. He didn’t expect Balotelli to make such a low-level mistake again, meaningless to get a yellow card. As a result of the suspension, as smart as Mourinho, he really didn't understand how Balotelli's head grew.

The on-site commentator Mazzola also sighed helplessly: "A genius bastard, a genius idiot, this is Balotelli. Eto'o went to play in the African Cup. With such a good opportunity, he himself suspended himself for one game. This is really speechless."

After Balotelli scored, Chievo's morale was affected to a certain extent, and they never could create a shot for the rest of the first half.

During the intermission, Mourinho may also feel that he can't count on Paldev and must hone Pandev. In the second half, he directly replaced Stankovic and Pandev.

This is the Macedonian striker Pandev playing for Inter Milan again after eight years. Inter Milan fans in the stands gave him warm applause.

However, just at the beginning of the second half, Pandev had not touched a kick, and the game had an accident. Chievo made a long pass from the backfield. Inter Milan left back Chivor and Pelisier competed for the top. The two heads collided. When he fell from the air, Chiwo lost his protection and lay motionless on the ground.

The players all know that this situation is probably caused by the collision and lost consciousness, and quickly called the team doctor and stretcher to the field.

The stretcher came on and carried both Chivuo and Pelisier out. After a simple treatment, Pellissie returned to the game, but Chivuo was taken to the local hospital for examination.

Inter Milan was forced to make a substitution, Mourinho let the teenager Thornton come on to replace Chivo, playing the position of left back.

Thornton is one of the two geniuses that Inter Milan focuses on training. Although his talent is not as good as Balotelli, his IQ and EQ are normal. Inter Milan expects him more than Balotelli.

However, Thornton is young, likes offense, and is not stable enough on defense. He soon became the focus of Chievo's attack after he came on the court.

Zanetti had to frequently help Thornton to help defend, but in this way, only Cambiasso was left in Inter Milan's midfielder position, and could not stop Chievo's fierce attack.

In the 55th minute of the match, Chievo crossed, Lucio and Bogdani competed for the top, Pelisier quickly inserted behind Materazzi, Cambiasso knew Materazzi could not keep up, and had to follow the defense. Lissier.

At this time Lucio and Bogdani grabbed one and the ball was pushed to the front of the penalty area. Chievo midfielder Luciano followed up with a volley and broke Inter Milan's goal, rewriting the score to 2:1 .

Although Mourinho couldn't stand Materazzi's slowness, he still didn't want to give Cordoba a chance to offend him. He asked Gao Xiaodong to come back to play as a midfielder and changed his formation to 433 (.)
