Chapter 579 Welcome to the Milan Derby Next
Ten years ago, Serie A was known as the era of the Small World Cup, and the Milan derby emitted unparalleled starlight. If the number and weight of stars were taken as a reference, it would not be an exafortune to call their match the "Small World Cup Final". In 1991, Inter defeated Roma to win the UEFA Cup. The main lineup was: Zengga, Bagomi, Batistini, Ferri, Bremer, Paganin, Bianche, Berti, Mateus, Serena, Klinsmann. At that time, Inter also had Giuseppe Baresi, 1992-93 Sa Merle and Pantev joined the team.
Looking at AC Milan, there is no shortage of stars on the stage of the Red and Black Dynasty. In 1991-93, he won two consecutive championships and reached the Champions League finals in 1993. Rossi is still the main goalkeeper. Tasotti, Costacuta, Baresi, and Little Maldini form the golden defense. Jecald, Gulit, Donadoni and Albertini form the midfielder, while Basten and Mázaro become the best partners on the front line.
Ten years have passed in a flash, Serie A has lost its original dominance in European football, and the starlight of Milan Derby is not as dazzling as before, but the influence of Milan Derby is still the first in the world. According to the prediction of Milan Sport, the number of viewers watching the Milan War through Channel 5 is expected. It reached 10 million. A week before the start of the game, the newspaper began to report on the Internet, and there was a war of words between the fans, players and the top of the club.
Maldini said: "Everyone will do their best to prepare for the Milan derby. We are ready now. I think the players of Inter Milan will be the same. We will wait and see on Sunday.
Andre. Shevchenko said: "At the beginning of the league, we went through some hardships and the game was difficult, but we made the situation more complicated. It is normal for a team to be in a state of ups and downs and unable to continue to be brilliant. Milan has always been a great team. We have consumed a lot of energy in the UEFA Cup, but we have enough time to recover for the upcoming derby.
Head coach Trim strongly praised the new core Rui Costa: "No one in the world can compare with him. It's extremely lucky to have a player like him. We finally rushed out of the difficult group, which also brought us a trace of relaxation to the Derby station we were about to face.
And Rui Costa said: "Although our performance in these two rounds of the league is average, the UEFA Cup AC Milan has proved to people that we are still alive and living well. We will continue to fight for the championship this season. I admit that we are indeed a little lax in some games that seem simple in the media. So we must improve this and strengthen our own stability.
For the upcoming derby, Inter Milan boss Moratti said, "I respect Milan's defenders very much, but even if they make mistakes again, the situation will not be too bad. This is different from Inter Milan. Fortunately, our defenders rarely make mistakes now. Although it is difficult to continue the glory of the last derby, but I believe that our striker can break through AC Milan's defense and complete a two-game winning streak against Milan.
Jiang Mu believes that the significance of this Milan derby is not just honor and enmity between the two sides. This game has risen to the perspective of the league championship. Rome has fallen. At present, there are only three teams that have the strength to compete for the league championship, Juventus, AC Milan and Inter Milan. Now there is a point difference of 5 points between us and Juventus and AC Milan. If we can beat AC Milan, we can completely get rid of our opponents, which is right and wrong for our league championship. It is often beneficial. I hope that the players must be pragmatic and play at a normal level to win this game.
The Milan Sport has also been lengthy to analyze and demonstrate the teams of both sides to warm up the upcoming derby. The reporter believes that in the current situation, AC Milan must be more difficult than Inter. As one of the four most favored teams at the beginning of the season, AC Milan reached a critical moment at the end of October. The league was tied by the weak team Venice. The fate of the UEFA Cup has not yet been determined, and Inter, which has appeared in the group in advance, can easily cope with European events. The problem of AC Milan can no longer be covered up by the simple word "doom". Trim said, "The problem of AC Milan is a problem of thought and a problem of luck", which is making excuses for the club. In fact, if it is just a simple ideological problem, it is easy to solve, just change Ancelotti, but Milan's problems are physical, mental, tactical, running-in and other aspects.
The gaffe in the away game, and the tightness of keeping an eye on people, conceding too many goals on the set-piece ball, which is more or less related to the player's physical condition. In the cruel Serie A, the body and competitive state are the team's capital. There seems to be no strong player available on AC Milan's bench. It is said that Galliani desperately asked Rome for Pirlo and Nesta, but only Rui Costa came in the end.
Now the results are not good, the players and fans are resentful, the bench players are more resentful, and the prestige of the head coach Trim has declined. If the club finds someone to shirk its responsibility, the head coach is destined to pay for it. Poor Trim, if he wants to continue to coach at AC Milan, he must survive this difficulty. The team is very weak, the midfield is very weak, and the defense is particularly tight. Trim's pressure before the derby far exceeds that of Jiang Mu.
Inter's life is much better now. Playing Udinese in the league did waste a lot of opportunities, but the team is very creative. With the UEFA Champions League group qualifying, Inter Milan is getting better and better. The middle penetration of 442 and the winger tactics of 433 can be switched according to the opponent and the situation of the game. Ronaldinho and Robben or Concesan are on the side, Pirlo and Sidorf are in the middle, Ronaldo with Vieri, Rekoba and Hakansuk can be replaced at any time. Although the defense is a little thin. However, with Materazzi and Cannavaro in the defense, Cordoba and Simic, the powerful substitutes, entered the team's explosive state.
The original biggest problem of the Nerazzurri was the club's mistakes in organization and management, but now Jiang Mu's transfer and command is exclusive, and even Moratti can't get involved. It turns out that the biggest short board has become an advantage. If Jiang Mu doesn't make a faint move, it is difficult for Inter Milan to be defeated.
Torino Sport believes that no matter what the final result of the Milan derby is, it is an opportunity for Juventus. If Inter Milan loses, they have hope to narrow the gap with the top of the list. If Inter Milan wins, they can also get rid of AC Milan, a difficult opponent. However, the premise of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight is to solve Bologna first, otherwise the tragedy will be the old woman.
Roma Sport believes that although Inter Milan is in an excellent state, it has always been difficult to guess that the Milan derby is beyond the normal game. In such a game, it is not necessarily in good condition to win. In many cases, this is a contest of will, courage, patience and confidence.
Roma Sport believes that although the Roma team is 7 points away from the leader Inter Milan, it is only 2 points away from Juventus and AC Milan. Even if Rome and Lazio are unable to compete for the championship this season, they must get a place in the Champions League, so this The Milan derby is also an opportunity for Rome and Lazio.
The dominance of Serie A has declined, but its influence is still weak. The Milan derby will affect the direction of the whole league. Coupled with the Milan derby's own appeal, the game has had a significant impact not only in Italy, but also in Europe, but also in Asia, Africa and the Americas.
For Milan's two heroes, their biggest overseas fan base comes from China. As the first foreign league to enter the vision of Chinese football live broadcast, Serie A's status as a Chinese fan is irreplaceable, and it can even be said that it has affected a whole generation. China's Milan's fans are mostly in the 1970s and 1980s. They have been paying attention to the Milan derby since the era of the Three Musketeers and the troika era, and after Jiang Mu coached Inter Milan, tens of millions of Chinese fans have become fans of Inter Milan.
The rise of both Inter Milan and AC Milan this season has objectively played a great role in arousing the enthusiasm of fans. Last season's two super big scores also stunned fans all over the world. It is hard to believe that these are two Serie A games. Therefore, on the eve of the Derby, fans from all over the world began to gather in Milan, Italy, hoping to witness the performance of the stars they admire.
Originally, the Derby in Milan City was a headache for the Milan police and the Italian Football League with fierce violence. Every time a referee is sent, it takes a meeting to discuss for a long time. This season, the two teams are in good condition. There are so many foreign fans that the mayor of Milan has to give instructions in advance to ensure the safety and smoothness of the game. Even if more police assistance is mobilized, it will not be hesitated.
The Italian Football Association also said before the game that it would do a good job in the safety of the game, and asked the two clubs to contact their own radical fan organizations. They must watch the game in a regular manner and not try to make trouble, otherwise they will be punished more severely than last season.
Inter Milan has been doing well this season. The dream of winning the Triple Crown seems to be more than just a dream. Of course, they don't want to have the scene of last season. The ban now loses not only money for Inter Milan. If in the past, radical fans are necessary for Inter Milan, they are better than ordinary people. The fans are more loyal and have a huge appeal, which can get Inter Milan out of the trough. Now these radical fans will only do harm to Inter Milan. Inter Milan is also ready to let go of the suppression of radical fans to prevent them from undermining Inter Milan's good championship situation.
