Chapter 878 is out of date!

"AC Milan counterattacks, the ball goes out of bounds, Inter Milan's throw-in."

"Damian, this 24-year-old right back was born in AC Milan, but he never got a chance. Later, after moving to Padua and Palermo, he performed well in Turin. He switched from Torino to Inter Milan during the winter break last season."

"Because of his outstanding performances in Inter Milan and Torino, he was selected for the Italian national team and participated in the World Cup."

"Damian took the throw-in, it was strong."

"Pellet and Mex fought for the top, but neither of them got it."

"Rami ran over to make a clearance and didn't pass far. Pellet grabbed the ball and made a pass!"

"Beautiful! Aubameyang, the speed is too fast, Rami and De Jong can't stop him at all."

"Get the ball, unload it, throw off the defender, enter the penalty area, kick the goal..."

"The ball went in!!!!!!"

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"

"Aubameyang, goal from Inter striker Aubameyang!"

"In the 6th minute, only 6 minutes into the game, Inter Milan took the lead in knocking on AC Milan's goal!"

"It's so exciting. Mex's top challenge missed, and Rami's clearance was too careless, and he even gave the ball to Pellet."

"What a Pellet, this kick kicked away Mex and then picked a pass behind, it's so exciting!"

"Aubameyang's speed is very fast. After reacting, Rami and De Jong couldn't stop him at all. He was defeated by his speed. AC Milan's defense line was torn apart like this!"

I saw Aubameyang rushing out of the court in an instant after scoring a goal, chanting words non-stop along the way.

"The distance is too far, and there is too much movement at the scene. We can't see what he is chanting. It seems that he is chanting a sentence over and over again. What is it? Perhaps, he should be thanking God!"

However, sitting in the stands, Yang Huan in the Inter Milan fan area couldn't help laughing after seeing the close-up of Aubameyang's mouth shape, and even Fassone, Branca and others beside him also laughed.

Because they all saw that what Aubameyang was shouting turned out to be 100 million euros!

"This kid is interesting!" Yang Huan pointed at Aubameyang with satisfaction and smiled.

After the team sold Icardi this season, Aubameyang assumed the responsibility of the team's main attacker and performed well, especially with the assistance of Felipe Anderson, Pellet, Morata and De Bruyne.

Regardless of how Klopp adjusts and changes the lineup, Aubameyang always occupies the main position, either as a center forward or as a winger, which shows that Klopp attaches great importance to and trusts Aubameyang.

Fortunately, Aubameyang did not disappoint Klopp's cultivation and made rapid progress. Whether in the Europa League or in Serie A, he repaid the team and the head coach with wonderful goals.

"Yeah, this kid is indeed quite good, and his current role in the team is not lost to Icardi at all."

"Isn't it?" Blanca also nodded in praise, "Before the season, the fans expressed doubts about our decision to sell Icardi, but now, Aubameyang's frequent goals have completely made the fans forget about Icardi."

Speaking of this, the Big Three of Inter Milan couldn't help but all looked at Master Huan together.

Whether it is Aubameyang, Pellet, or Felipe Anderson, they are all recommended by the scouting system of Master Huan and the Saints, and they are only responsible for specific negotiations.

But who would have thought that these players performed mediocre in the hands of Mazzarri, but they shined brilliantly under Klopp's feet.

There is also De Bruyne, the Belgian international who did not get trust and opportunities under Chelsea Mourinho, but under Klopp, he has become the core of the team's frontcourt offense, referring to where to play, almost omnipotent.

But the most convincing is the head coach Klopp.

Mazzarri's tactics last season were notoriously rigid, and the Italians were very stubborn, sticking to their own [-] tactics and not knowing how to be flexible, but Klopp was different.

Just like just now, Pellet, who was supposed to be the center forward of the team, not only pulled to the wing to catch the throw-in, but also retreated deeper than the regular winger Aubameyang.

As a result, Mexes was pulled out, and Aubameyang took the opportunity to go to the front.

It is precisely because of this position that Lamy made a clearance error. After Pellet got the ball, he directly kicked it behind him.

why?
Because he knows very well that Aubameyang's speed can definitely kill Lamy.

But in the final analysis, the reason is that after Pellet retreated, AC Milan's defense had to move forward, resulting in a large space behind him, which was directly used by the fast Aubameyang.

With a goal in hand, Inter Milan played more calmly, but AC Milan had to choose to press and attack.

However, although the Nerazzurri were playing away, they were not soft at all. Instead, they pushed AC Milan back head-on.

Inzaghi's AC Milan adopts a four-three-three formation, with three midfielders in the midfield, the purpose is to protect the defense.

Whether it is Montolivo, De Jong, or Polly, they are always cruising in front of the defense line, not daring to press too much, so as to avoid lengthening the distance and being used again by Inter Milan.

However, their three offensive players Shalawi, Mene and Bonaventura resolutely refused to retreat, and always withstood Inter Milan's defense, the purpose is to facilitate a quick counterattack.

But also because of this, AC Milan's midfield and frontcourt are somewhat disconnected, which allows Inter Milan to have enough time to control the ball, but Klopp also maintains enough vigilance against AC Milan's two wings. Whether it is Alex Sandro or Damian on the right, they always take defensive positions and have a more cautious attitude.

As for the frontcourt offense, Inter Milan is more centered on De Bruyne, with the Belgian controlling the rhythm of the game and the team's offensive direction, and then using Pellet and Aubameyang's back and forth to repeatedly attack and pull to tear apart AC Milan's defense.

Therefore, under the situation of being behind by one goal and playing at home, AC Milan once tried to press out to play, but soon realized that it was impossible, especially after the two threatening shots of Pellet and Felipe Anderson, Inzaghi took the defensive again and slowly waited for the opportunity.

But Klopp also made adjustments quickly.

Seeing that AC Milan's three midfielders were in the back position and gave up possession of the midfielder, Klopp signaled the two midfielders to press up, actively creating pressure, sharing the defensive pressure for De Bruyne, and actively sending the ball into the penalty area by picking a half-high ball behind the defense line.

Yang Huan was in the stands, seeing that the team's offense had improved again, he couldn't help shaking his head again and again.

How do you say a word?

"Inzaghi is a very good player, but as a head coach, he is still too young!"

As everyone knows, today's football is completely different from a few years ago.

Let’s not talk about whether AC Milan’s lineup is suitable for playing four-three-three. Even if it is really necessary to play four-three-three, adopting a three-back tactic and giving up possession of the midfielder is a controversial choice in itself.

Could it be that you still want to continue to learn what Mourinho's Inter Milan did against Barcelona?

Stick to your own 30-meter area, let you control the ball, and I will wait for an opportunity to hit you back?

Such routines and concepts have long been outdated!

Because of the football tactics of the past few years, the overall oppression and pressing of the midfield is already indispensable.

No, as soon as Khedira and Alan came up, De Bruyne immediately let go of his hands and feet, and became more active in the midfield, frequently inserting, and even relying on his personal ability to dribble the ball.

As soon as De Bruyne showed his power, Inzaghi had to further shrink the defense line. AC Milan changed from a solid defense to a dead defense, and even maintained a configuration of six defensive players at the front of the penalty area.

But even so, De Bruyne quickly seized an opportunity in this area.

Inter Milan attacked, Damian tried to pass the ball to Pellet, but was intercepted by Mex.

But when the ball was about to be passed to Montolivo, Khedira suddenly grabbed it, broke the ball, and handed it to De Bruyne.

Facing De Jong, the Belgian international crossed the crotch and passed De Jong. After that, he dribbled the ball to the front of the penalty area. With a precise through ball, he passed the ball between Rami and Mex.

"Aubameyang, Aubameyang again!"

"The ball has been scored!"

"Beautiful shot, two to zero!"

"With a precise through ball from De Bruyne, Aubameyang scored his second goal of the game!"

"This Gabon international who used to play for AC Milan's youth academy, joined Dijon, Lille, Monaco and Saint-Etienne successively. Later, he made his mark in Monaco and switched to Inter Milan. He became the most eye-catching scorer in Serie A this season!"

At this time, the live TV footage was also shown on Galliani in the chairman's stand.

"I don't know what Galliani's mood is like at this time. First there is Damian at right back, and then striker Aubameyang. These two players with the background of the Rossoneri, but in this game they are wearing the fans of the Nerazzurri. They performed well."

"Now for AC Milan, the game situation has become more unfavorable."

"Inzaghi seems to have no more effective solutions. At this time, as the head coach, he should come up with ideas and tell the players what should be done!"

"In contrast to Klopp, the flamboyant German coach kept waving at the players, signaling them to continue to attack..."

"Uh... By the way, he made a gesture of one, what does it mean?"

"One, what does this mean?"

I am afraid that only Yang Huan and others in the stands and the Inter Milan players in the stadium can understand.

Klopp's one, the real meaning is, guys, for the 100 million euro bonus, let's fight!

Don't give AC Milan any chance to breathe, fight hard, fight hard!
After scoring two goals, the Inter Milan players on the field did not disappoint. They never let up in the slightest. They continued to chase and attack AC Milan's defense line.

In fact, Inter Milan did seize the opportunity again before the end of the first half.

Felipe Anderson's forced breakthrough on the left caused Abarth's foul and was shown a yellow card.

De Bruyne did his part as the first free thrower, and he did not hesitate to deal with this unsatisfactory free kick, and directly took a curved kick.

The ball managed to bypass the jumping wall, and after a graceful arc, it got into the upper right corner of the goal before the goalkeeper Diego Lopez threw it.

This is a dead end in an absolute sense!
With this goal, Inter Milan took a three-to-zero lead in the first half.

It can almost be said that this derby was won ahead of schedule!
