Chapter 2194 - 564: The Final Derby
With a whistle blow from the referee Rizzoli.
Inter Milan takes the first kick.
With the 4411 formation, Inter Milan has clearly lowered their posture and is ready to counterattack.
Even with this, Huang Kaiwen doesn’t underestimate his local archenemy.
This set is basically Inter Milan’s treble-winning lineup.
Especially Milito, who has scored 20 goals this season.
Sneijder receives the ball and passes it back to Guarin, who immediately makes a horizontal pass.
Alvarez, dubbed the "new Kaka," is in good form today and displays his excellent technical skills as soon as he receives the ball.
Huang Kaiwen tries to snatch the ball but is passed over with a fried meatballs move.
Van Bommel rushes up right away, seemingly ready to tackle.
Alvarez quickly turns and backpasses to Cambiasso on another route.
Cambiasso carries the ball forward as Ambrosini and Gattuso press up.
Although Sannetti wants to respond, Messi doesn’t advance but stands by his side to harass, causing Cambiasso to hesitate in passing.
Messi is a minor issue; the key is Ramos beside him.
Sneijder drops back to respond, and as Cambiasso makes the foot pass, Ambrosini steps too late and kicks Cambiasso’s leg.
Sneijder receives the ball but is poked away by Van Bommel, and Rizzoli’s whistle blows.
"Be careful with your actions."
Rizzoli directly warns Ambrosini but shows no intention of issuing a card.
"The referee performed very well today, he made his calls decisively. Here, Inter Milan lost possession, and he immediately warned Ambrosini. This foul was clearly not intentional; if a card is given, it would affect the players’ mentality, but a warning is much better."
"Yes, and doing so effectively controls the tension between the two teams. Major European leagues are nearing the end of the season, but this Milan Derby still attracts lots of attention; it’s crucial to ensure the focus remains on the field for the league’s image."
Maicon stands at the foul location.
Players from both sides are near the big penalty area.
Huang Kaiwen takes a glance and follows suit by defending in the penalty area.
Having van Persie and Messi for a counterattack is enough.
Once the whistle blows, Maicon immediately starts his run and delivers a long pass.
Sneijder sprints quickly, directly darting past Ramos.
Even though Ramos reaches out first, he still couldn’t hold Sneijder back.
The ball falls with an arc to the left side of Milan’s box. Sneijder, staggering, chests the ball to the right.
Buffon, who was guarding the right side, fell and couldn’t stop Milito’s shot to the far corner; the ball swiftly crosses the goal line and nests into the net.
Milito runs all the way to the corner flag area after scoring.
Sneijder excitedly raises his arms running back.
Maicon runs over tens of meters to find Milito and celebrate together.
The Inter Milan players are very pleased with this goal.
Even more pleased are the Inter Milan fans.
Some fans who had gone to the toilet hadn’t even had time to sit down before their home team scored.
"Diego!!!"
"Diego!!!"
"Diego!!!"
Meazza Stadium shouts Milito’s name crazily.
Fans at the corner flag area stretch their arms long enough, wishing they could directly embrace Milito.
Surprise!
So surprising.
Even if they are stubborn, the Nera Group never expected their team would score first.
Within just about 1 minute after the start, they successfully took the lead.
Huang Kaiwen stands with hands on hips, shaking his head.
This goal doesn’t give him room to play at all.
They delivered the ball directly for a shot.
Even though he already retreated to defend, it was no use.
It’s really Buffon.
Seeing Huang Kaiwen’s stance, he consoled him, "Don’t worry, Kaiwen, they can’t win."
"I’m not afraid of losing."
Huang Kaiwen smiled and said, "I’m worried that if Inter Milan scores again, they might think they are going to win the match. Then, when they are overturned, the Nera Group will be too disappointed. Even if they are not our fans, they live in Milan City; I don’t want to see so many heartbroken people in this city."
Buffon:...
Godin:...
Nesta:...
Gattuso:...
Ambrosini laughed and cursed, "Originally losing the goal was uncomfortable, but hearing you say makes them seem pitiful instead."
"Kaiwen never loses!"
Ramos said, somewhat disgruntled.
What are these people thinking?
Inter Milan scoring first just adds a bit of twist to the match.
Compared to whether they could beat Inter Milan, Ramos is more concerned that Huang Kaiwen felt disappointed because his previous attempt at matchmaking didn’t succeed.
He had tried hard to accommodate that Royal Family noblewoman, but it just wasn’t a fit.
It’s a matter of principle.
"Luca."
Huang Kaiwen approaches Antonini and says, "Push forward more today. Since they are counterattacking, give them more pressure, and I’ll move into the middle as needed."
"Understood, captain!"
Antonini responds with a smile.
As an AC Milan Youth player, he is not as lucky as others.
Making his Serie A debut in 2001, then being repurchased in 2008, he didn’t have any record of representing Milan before.
Nonetheless, answering Milan’s call, he chose to return to San Siro.
Years of wandering made him somewhat silent.
But being less talkative doesn’t mean he loves Milan any less than others.
As long as the team needs, he is willing to do anything.
Upon restarting play, Antonini keeps in mind Huang Kaiwen’s instructions.
Seeing Huang Kaiwen take the ball and run forward, he immediately presses up along.
Antonini is not in a hurry to respond from behind Huang Kaiwen because he knows Huang Kaiwen doesn’t need help from teammates when one-on-one.
Defense, however, must be done well.
