Chapter 441 Finally Looks Like an Organizer
The highlight of the summer warm-up match, the Milan Derby, finally started.
A skinny camel is bigger than a horse, even if Kaka and Ibrahimovic are gone, Ronaldinho and Beckham are old, the appeal of the Milan derby is also greater than that of Inter Milan and Chelsea, a Milan and Chelsea.
The stands of Gillette Stadium were full, and many local celebrities and businessmen in the United States came to the scene to watch this world-renowned game. Abramovich, Zhukova and Emma also came to the scene at Gillette Stadium.
This is Inter Milan's last game in North America, and the opponent is Milan A. Mourinho has lined up the strongest lineup he can to meet the derby opponent.
Inter Milan's main defenders, Cesar and Maicon, who sat on the bench in the previous game, all came back this time. The newly joined Brazilian captain Lucio also made an appearance with Cordoba. The teenager Thornton sat on the bench. Zanetti as left back. Midfielders Cambiasso, Muntari, and Stankovic partnered in the three defensive midfielders, Gao Xiaodong appeared in the attacking midfielder position, and Milito and Eto'o were on the front line.
Milan made major changes in the defense. Onyeu replaced Nesta, who had recently recovered. In addition, Jankulovski returned, Zambrotta moved to the right, midfielder Pirlo, Gato Suo, Ronaldinho and Beckham, strikers Pato and Borriello remain unchanged.
In the last game against Chelsea, Inter Milan's players were severely criticized by the media and fans. In this game against Milan, all the players did not dare to be careless. At the beginning of the game, absp; It has always had the upper hand, even after the phone door, a Milan also won the Champions League once, only in the past two years, a Milan has completely fallen into a disadvantage.
Although the strength is not as good as that of Inter Milan, the psychological advantages of the Milan players are always there. Facing the onslaught of Inter Milan, Milan controlled the ball calmly. Ba cooperated, Ronaldinho attracted the defense and passed the ball behind Stankovic, Pato quickly followed up, and before Lucio blocked the shot, the ball went straight to the lower right corner of the goal.
Goalkeeper Cesar was very focused, he flew to save, one-handedly saved this dangerous shot from the bottom line.
Beckham and Ronaldinho played a tactical corner, and Beckham curled the ball into the penalty area, looking for his striker Bolleno.
Lucio was right about where he was going, and he leaped up ahead of Bolleno and headed the ball out of the penalty area. The ball flew into no man's land, and Pirlo, who was waiting outside the penalty area to grab the clearance ball, ran over to get the ball and prepared for the second wave of attack.
When Pirlo was running, he didn't forget to look back and observe the surrounding situation. He saw Gao Xiaodong running towards the landing point. He judged Gao Xiaodong's speed, and prepared to pick the ball to pass Gao Xiaodong before it hit the ground. .
Pirlo's judgment on the timing of the shot and the speed of the opponent is beyond doubt.
Ordinary players must have been picked over their heads, but Pirlo's opponent today is not an ordinary player.
Even without the 20 years of professional experience given by the system, Gao Xiaodong is still a good player on the court. His judgment on where the ball lands is not inferior to Pirlo at all. Although he ran fast at the beginning, he still stayed close to Pirlo. At that time, Gao Xiaodong suddenly stepped up, and before the ball that Pirlo provoked was over the top, Gao Xiaodong headed it and intercepted it.
At this moment, the two central defenders of Milan went to Inter Milan's penalty area to compete for the header. Only the full-backs Jankulovski and Zambrotta dragged behind. Seeing Gao Xiaodong steal Pirlo, Yangkulov Ski and Zambrotta quickly moved to the middle to prevent Gao Xiaodong from going straight to Huanglong, and the defensive midfielder Gattuso quickly returned to the middle of the penalty area to defend.
Gao Xiaodong saw that the two forwards Milito and Eto'o had started to move, he continued to advance high, attracted the two defenders to his side, and then suddenly sent a long pass to Eto'o.
Gao Xiaodong's pass was very precise, the ball passed Gattuso who was running on the line between him and Eto'o, but did not give Milan goalkeeper Karachi a chance to attack and get the ball.
Seeing Gao Xiaodong passing the ball so skillfully, Pirlo, who had defensive eyes, felt a little cold. With Eto'o's ability, facing Karachi with a single-handed ball, it is almost certain to score.
Eto'o didn't waste Gao Xiaodong's wonderful pass. He caught the ball and rushed into the penalty area, past the attacking goalkeeper Karachi, and sent the ball into the empty goal from a small angle.

Mourinho is not afraid that Gao Xiaodong will not score goals. Gao Xiaodong's long-range shots are quite good. If he shoots more, he will definitely gain something.

Although the central defenders Lucio and Cordoba have been working together for a short time, they are the kind of central defenders with strong personal abilities. There are three central defenders. With the protection of the midfielder, the connection between Milan's double forwards Boleno, Pato and Ronaldinho was cut off, and they could only rely on Beckham's wing cross, with few opportunities.
However, Inter Milan's counterattack has repeatedly won opportunities to counterattack. Both Gao Xiaodong and Cambiasso have sent through balls and overhead passes, but the cooperation between the two of them and forwards Milito and Eto'o is not tacit. It's too early, that is, I ran too early, and fell into the offside trap of Milan four times in a row.

Although Inter Milan took the lead, Mourinho did not forget the task of running the lineup. He replaced Eto'o with Balotelli and Zanetti with Thornton, continuing to maintain the threat to Milan's goal.
In the 67th minute of the game, Gao Xiaodong passed the ball to Balotelli in the defense of three Milan players. Balotelli stopped the ball with his chest, turned around and volleyed.
Balotelli's shot was about 20** meters away from the goal. It was not the right time to shoot. A Milan goalkeeper was caught off guard and threw the ball in the middle of the penalty area in a hurry. Arriving, he snatched the ball into the empty goal before Nesta.

The commentator at the scene sighed and said: "The 19-year-old Gao Xiaodong beat the 29-year-old Ronaldinho and the 29-year-old Pirlo. We can't help but sigh that the world is changing so fast. Three years ago, these two superstars were still standing in the world. At the top, now they are out of breath."
