Chapter 90 Mourinho's Restraint

When everyone felt that Milan's situation was over, even worse things happened.

In the 38th minute of the game, Gattuso's left foot was injured and he could not persist, so he asked to leave the field, but Seedorf had no time to change his jersey, so Gattuso had to stay on the field.

But at this moment, something happened.After Maicon steals the ball from the backcourt, he seems to be in no one's land. He takes it to the left side of the frontcourt and hands it over to Sneijder in the middle. 2nd yellow card!Received a red card.

When he left the field, he gestured towards the coach's bench and kept talking, so Seedorf could only sit back on the bench.

The Inter Milan fans in the stands began to shout in unison: "Serie B! Serie B!"

AC Milan, which suffered successive blows, did not give up. In the 41st minute of the game, Pato's breakthrough was swept out of the baseline by Maicon, and AC Milan won a corner kick.

Pirlo took a corner kick from the left, and Borriello jumped up 7 meters in front of the goal with a header.I don't know if it's because the breakup with Belém has affected his state. Borriello's take-off height today has always been horrible, wasting Pirlo's precise long pass in vain.

In stoppage time in the first half, Zanetti gave the ball to Milito on the right, who passed the ball to Maicon who cut inside the penalty area.

The Brazilian followed up with a horizontal knock, and cooperated with Milito arrogantly in the Milan penalty area. After Maicon received the pass from Milito again, he pushed his right foot into the far corner of the goal from 7 meters in front of the goal. The score became 3 to 0!

After the goal, Maicon flew onto the billboard to celebrate with the fans in the stands, but from the beginning to the end, Milan right-back Jankulovski was like a stake and was thrust into a dog, but remained indifferent.

Inter Milan entered the intermission with a 3:0 lead. At this time, the atmosphere in Inter Milan's locker room was relaxed. The big lead in the first half made Inter Milan players feel very good.

But at this time, the head coach Mourinho entered the locker room with a straight face, as if he had dropped 1 euros.

After Mourinho entered the locker room, the noise of the team became much quieter.

After all, the madman's aura is strong enough to affect the emotions of the team members.

He looked around the locker room and asked plainly:
"Do you think you have won?"

No one answered his words, after all, this question is simply nonsense.

Seeing that no one spoke, Mourinho asked again:
"Who was the last Champions League champion in Serie A?"

"AC Milan!"

The teenager Thornton answered without thinking.

"Then why not you?"

This question is thrown, and no one is willing to answer it. After all, Inter Milan has been strong for so many years, but they still haven't won the Champions League.

"So, the opponent you are facing is the former champion of the Champions League. Although it is weak now, why do you have any reason to underestimate this opponent? Have you defeated them when they were the strongest?"

"Coach, I didn't underestimate my opponent, I'm just happier because I'm leading."

Maicon suddenly interjected, and Mourinho waved his hand to signal him not to interrupt.

"Only if you win this year's Serie A championship can you completely surpass AC Milan's performance in the league. Only if you reach the Champions League final can you prove that you are not a foreigner!"

"Coach, we reached the final the year before last!"

For fear that Mourinho would not remember, Cesar deliberately reminded.

"Don't interrupt, are you saying that you want to learn from Juventus? Become the team with the most Champions League runner-ups in history?"

Hearing that Juventus was lying innocently, Inter Milan's generals nodded in approval. After all, Juventus has won the runner-up more times than Inter Milan has reached the final.

"Then coach, I attach great importance to this game against Milan, will you let me play in the second half?"

Jingxuan couldn't bear it anymore. Seeing Milan's weak defense, who wouldn't want to go up to collect statistics?
Mourinho just nodded slightly, and did not make it clear when he would play.

After the start of the second half, AC Milan replaced Borriello with Seedorf, and Ambrosini replaced Flamini, who was insufficient in defense.

At the beginning of the second half, Sneijder made a direct pass from midfield, and Eto'o volleyed 27 meters in front of the goal over the upper right corner.

In the 53rd minute of the game, Maicon's low shot from outside the penalty area missed the far post.

In the 55th minute of the game, Sneijder counterattacked with the ball in the middle, but didn't give it to Milito, who responded on the right, and played from 22 meters in front of the goal.

Left foot volley wide of the right post.

In the 56th minute of the game, he turned and volleyed over the crossbar 28 meters in front of the goal.

In the second half of the game, the Inter Milan players showed their contempt for AC Milan with their actions.

In the attack, he has no patience to organize and cooperate at all, and just wants to score the goal with a long shot.

In the 65th minute of the game, Thiago Motta accidentally strained his thigh, and Jingxuan finally got the chance to play.

With the appearance of Jingxuan, Inter Milan changed to 4-2-3-1, Jingxuan and Eto'o separated on both sides, Stankovic and Zanetti lagged behind, Inter Milan has a theoretical start for the new season line-up.

In the 68th minute of the game, Zanetti made a direct pass from the backcourt to Jingxuan on the left. After Jingxuan got the ball, he made a two-pass and one-pass with Sneijder in the middle. After getting the ball again, he did not break through, but It was a non-stop ball directly slanted to Milito in the penalty area.

The latter followed the trajectory of the ball, grabbed Nesta, and shot into the far corner with his left foot, but was blocked by Storari with his calf.

In the 72nd minute of the game, AC launched a counterattack from the backcourt. Storari hoisted his big foot to the frontcourt. Ronaldinho hit the ball with a clever kick on the outside of his left foot. Pato inserted at high speed and got a single-handed chance.

It's a pity that his shot 12 meters from the left in front of the goal was bravely saved by his compatriot Cesar. AC Milan missed the best chance after the opening.

In the 76th minute of the game, Ronaldinho made a mistake with the ball from the front side. Maicon grabbed the ball and passed it to Eto'o in front.

After Eto'o got the ball, facing Ambrosini's defense, he chose to give the ball to Maicon who was going down the wing.

Maicon took the ball obliquely into the bottom line of AC Milan's penalty area, and made an inverted triangle pass back.

Milito received the ball inside the penalty area and had no good kicking opportunities, so he chose to return the ball to Sneijder outside the penalty area.

Sneijder didn't stop the ball in the face of the incoming ball, and directly rubbed his right foot to Jingxuan who was inserted into the penalty area on the left.

Jingxuan unloaded the ball with his right foot and made no adjustments. Facing Nesta's flying shovel, he took the lead to complete the shot with his right foot.

I saw the ball like a rocket penetrating the ground, and quickly rushed into the lower right corner of the goal. The goalkeeper Storari fell to the ground and was unable to save it.

Inter Milan took a 4:0 lead!

The ball started with Maicon stealing Ronaldinho, and finally scored the ball after a total of 5 people's feet. Inter Milan's many attack points in the frontcourt made AC Milan hard to defend.

After taking a big lead, Inter Milan made substitution adjustments, and heroes such as Milito and Eto'o were replaced one after another, while Balotelli and Muntari played.

In the following game time, Inter Milan deliberately strengthened their control of the scene, and it seemed that scoring more goals was not their goal.

Just like what Mourinho said before the game, after learning that the Champions League group stage draw and Barcelona are in the same group, Inter Milan's goal this season is naturally to cross this "cosmic team". Inter Milan's home court is the first match of the UEFA Champions League group stage. Too early exposure of play style and state is not good for Inter Milan.

This is the fundamental reason why Mourinho suppressed Jingxuan's playing time in this game, and even castrated the playing time of several main players.

Perhaps from the moment Sneijder assisted Jingxuan, Mourinho had already seen the result he wanted.

In the end, the two sides had nothing to achieve, and Inter Milan won the Milan Derby.

After the game, a mysterious guest followed AC Milan boss Silvio Berlusconi out of the VIP box.
