Inter Milan's formation is 4132, with Cesar as the starting goalkeeper, Corvado, Lucio, Materazzi, and Zivu as defenders, Zanetti as the defensive midfielder, Stankovic and Obi as the forwards, Sneijder as the attacking midfielder, Eto'o as the center forward, and Lu Wenbin as the shadow striker.
AC Milan's formation is 4231, with goalkeeper Abiano as the starting player, defenders Abate, Nesta, Boateng, Zambrotta, double defensive midfielders Gattuso and Pirno, midfielders Seedorf and Flamini, attacking midfielder Ronaldinho, and forward Ibrahimovic.
Both sides are star-studded and dazzling.
However, Lu Wenbin, who is worth more than 100 million and has the world's highest annual salary, is still the biggest threat in this game.
The purpose of AC Milan playing with double defensive midfielders is to limit Lu Wenbin. Gattuso is responsible for marking Lu Wenbin, and Pirlo is responsible for organizing the attack.
The war is about to break out.
At 9 p.m. local time on November 15th, with a whistle from referee Tagliavento from the central Italian city of Terni, the 12th round of the 2010/2011 Italian Serie A match between Inter Milan and AC Milan officially kicked off at the Meazza/San Siro Stadium.
At the beginning of the game, Inter Milan, who were playing at home, had not yet started to attack, but AC Milan, who lost 0-6 in the two rounds last season and were eager for revenge, took the lead in launching a fierce attack.
The match entered a fierce confrontation from the first minute, giving fans of both sides and countless neutral spectators an adrenaline rush.
In the 3rd minute, Italian international Zambrotta, who is good at both offense and defense, dribbled the ball from the left and assisted, breaking through Cordoba and making a cross from the bottom.
Seedorf got the first header at the back of the penalty area about 8 meters away from the goal, but it was slightly higher than the crossbar due to the interference of Lucio.
It was just a little bit higher, which scared Inter Milan fans and AC Milan fans couldn't help but sigh.
Some AC Milan fans who had stood up to celebrate when they saw Seedorf grab the first header and then put their heads in their hands in disappointment.
Inter Milan fans were lucky to have escaped the disaster, while AC Milan fans regretted missing the opportunity to have a dream start within 3 minutes of the start.
Then, Cesar sent a goal kick, which was passed to Sneijder through Zanetti's organized attack.
After a series of passes from Sneijder, Stankovic, Obi, Zanetti and Lu Wenbin, Sneijder made a wonderful pass into the small gap in the penalty area. Eto'o rushed over like a cheetah. As long as he kicked the ball, it would be a very threatening shot in the penalty area.
However, Nesta, known as the world's best central defender, stood up.
With excellent predictive ability, Nesta discovered Eto'o's position and Sneijder's passing intention at the first time. He rushed over quickly and made a decisive and fierce tackle in the penalty area before Eto'o touched the ball, touching the ball in advance by a millimeter.
Eto'o failed to retract his foot in time, and he also wanted to make Nesta foul in the penalty area to get a penalty.
Therefore, Eto'o did not jump to avoid the ball. Instead, his toes hooked on the leg of Nesta who was making the tackle. He then fell down dramatically in the penalty area, rolling four or five times and almost rolling out of the baseline.
In a split second, except for a few people, most people did not see clearly whether Nesta tackled the ball first or knocked down Eto'o first.
Anyway, everyone wants to influence the referee and get a decision that is favorable to them.
Then, tens of thousands of Inter Milan fans in the stands roared reflexively:
"foul!"
"Red card!"
"Penalty!"
AC Milan fans were not to be outdone, they applauded and shouted:
"nice shot!"
“Good shoveling!”
"Eto'o dives!"
Lu Wenbin, Sneijder and others also rushed over to put pressure on the referee and demand a penalty.
But at this time, the ball shoveled out by Nesta had already fallen at Zambrotta's feet.
Zambrotta kicked the ball without hesitation and passed it to Pirlo who was running into the open space without the ball.
Referee Tagliavento ignored the shouting of Lu Wenbin, Sneijder and others, and ran towards Inter Milan's half while gesturing with both hands, indicating that the game should continue.
He saw clearly that Nesta tackled the ball first, and Eto'o did not jump up to avoid it, but deliberately bumped into Nesta, which led to him being knocked down.
Nesta's defensive tackle was a good shot.
Without hearing the referee's whistle, AC Milan players naturally ignored the protests of Inter Milan players.
After Pirlo got the ball, he saw a large gap in the backcourt of Inter Milan, which had just launched an attack, and Ibrahimovic had already turned around and sprinted forward.
So, Pirlo made a long pass without hesitation, and sent the ball to Inter Milan's half without passing through the attacking midfielder Ronaldinho.
The moment Pirlo passed the ball, Ibrahimovic passed by Materazzi who turned back to defend, successfully made an offside move on the wing and got the ball first and rushed towards Inter Milan's half.
However, Ibrahimovic himself is not a speed player, and he also has to dribble the ball, so his speed is not fast.
Materazzi had already turned around and sprinted back to defense, chasing closely behind him and blocking the inside position to prevent Ibrahimovic from moving towards the middle.
Then, the two of them entangled and rushed towards the side of Inter Milan's restricted area from the wing.
Just as the two men rushed into the penalty area, Materazzi saw the opportunity and suddenly stretched out his foot from the side, trying to steal the ball or poke the ball away.
As a result, Ibrahimovic took advantage of his height and long legs to touch the ball first, dribbled it out, and then his whole body was tripped by Materazzi's outstretched foot. (Seeking monthly tickets)
