Inter Milan's locker room is very simple, with long hard benches and players do not have fixed seats. Whoever wants to sit wherever they want?

It seems that the players are sitting casually, but in fact, the players from the local gang, the Argentine gang, and the Brazilian gang sit together, while the players from Africa and Europe sit down casually.

Gao Xiaodong sat on the edge of a long bench, with Quaresma from Portugal on the left and Balotelli from the local gang on the right.

Although the enemy is in front of us, what everyone is talking about is not all about the game that will start soon. Instead, the Champions League group stage draw was held yesterday, Inter Milan was in the lottery, and they were divided into Group F with Barcelona, ​​Dynamo Kiev and Rubin.

Barcelona is the defending champion, which almost means losing the possibility of competing for the first place in the group. Although the other two teams have poor strength, they have to go to the cold Russia and Ukraine to play, which has a great impact on Inter Milan. In short, it is much worse than A Milan. A Milan and Real Madrid, Marseille and Zurich were assigned to Group A. Although A Milan has little hope of competing for the first place in the group, the other two opponents are much better than Inter Milan.

However, Gao Xiaodong is very satisfied with this group. After being swept by Barcelona last season's Champions League final, Gao Xiaodong has been resentful and hopes to have a chance to take revenge. However, it is not easy to encounter it in the Champions League. Unexpectedly, God favored him and encountered it in the group stage.

While the players were talking, Chairman Morati came in.

"Hello Chairman."

The players stood up and said hello to Morati.

Morati said with a smile: "Hello everyone, don't be polite. I'm here to see you. It's not a pressure on you. The opponent is very strong and there is a derby again. There is a possibility of winning or losing. You just need to play your level."

Mourinho disagreed and said, "No, we have to win, there is more to the derby than three points."

Morati smiled and said, "I don't want to put pressure on everyone. Actually, I am very confident in our team. We have two to three world-class players in three lines. I believe that no matter the winner, the final championship will definitely belong to us."

After saying that, Morati came to Gao Xiaodong again and smiled and said, "Xiaodong, don't be stressed. Coach Jose and I both believe in you. Play boldly and treat the Milan derby as an ordinary game."

Gao Xiaodong has never played such an important derby battle. The suffocating atmosphere made him feel nervous, and the pressure brought by his high value and annual salary made him feel nervous. However, in the face of Morati's encouragement, he could only look full of confidence and said: "We will definitely win! Such a game is the time to defeat the confidence of the opponent who won the championship. If you can get two, you will never get one."

A newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger! Morati was very happy and said, "Okay, I'm waiting to celebrate you."

...

Compared with Inter Milan's locker room, the Milan locker room is much more grand and luxurious. The seats are red and black leather seats, and each player has his own fixed seat. Core players like Nesta and Ronaldo sit in the center, and substitutes and marginal players sit near the goal.

The young head coach Leonardo is teaching the players, "Inter Milan is an unpredictable team, from Sanetti to Thornton, from Stankovic to Xiao Donggao... They can all play in different positions, which directly determines the difference in the lineup. I don't know how the opponent will play. They have many formation choices, and Mourinho often changes the formation, and he even changes the formation within 90 minutes, so this requires you to use your brain more and respond flexibly on the court..."

Leonardo did not fully gain the trust of the players, nor could he establish his own authority. When he spoke, Ronaldo and Pato did not listen attentively, and they also talked about something from time to time.

Leon Naduo can only pretend to be invisible to this. Both are Brazilian fellows, one is the former World Footballer, and the other is the prospective son-in-law of Chairman Berlusconi. What can he say? He can only continue to talk about the game. "Inter Milan's lineup has changed some changes this season. Last season, there was a player like Ibrahimovic who could allow them to cross the midfield directly. Now Ibrahimovic has left. They have changed their playing style and pay attention to the scheduling and organization of the midfield. We must pay attention to the Chinese child. He has very experienced ball handling ability and a long shot. We must watch him to death..."

Although Gao Xiaodong had outstanding performances before and after joining Inter Milan, young people are always easily overlooked. A Milan stars still don’t regard him as much as they are. Gattuso laughed and said, “That’s because he has not met the world’s top midfielder. His performance against Barcelona last season was very bad. Today I will let him understand the difference between Serie A and Portugal.”

Flamini said: "Children know how to use some brute force, and he will soon understand what chain defense is."

After hearing the players' comments, Leonardo didn't know whether to worry or be happy. It's better to have confidence. If you have too much confidence, it might be a mistake.

At this time, Milan's chairman Berlusconi also came. Berlusconi is the Italian Prime Minister and an excellent businessman. He also knows football very well. Unlike Morati, he not only encouraged the players, but also commented on the lineup and tactical style of his opponent Inter Milan before leaving the locker room and going to the private room with satisfaction.

At 5:55 pm, Inter Milan and A Milan players walked out of the locker room under the leadership of referee Rizzoli.

The fans were already anxious to wait. When they saw the players coming out, the fans cheered. It turned out that the fans who bought water to go to the toilet and left the seat to chat were also quickly returned to their seats and sat down, waiting for the game to begin.

"The players come out and let's see the lineups of both sides:

a Milan: - Storari/15-Zanbrota, 13-Nesta, 33-Tiago Silva, 18-Yankulovsky/8-Gattuso, Pirlo, 16-Framini/8o-Ronaldinho/22-Borello, 7-Pato

Inter Milan: 12-Cesar/13-Mecon, 6-Lucio, 25-Samuel, 26-Ziwu/4-Saneti, 5-Stankovic, 11-Mentari/1o-Gao Xiaodong/22-Milito, 9-Etoo

Both sides adopted a 4312 formation. Inter Milan's Montali was a little surprised. He didn't eat for a day, which made people doubt his physical fitness. Zivo appeared in the left-back position, not Thornton. This is a change. In terms of Milan, there is no surprise in the lineup, which is exactly the same as the previous game. This should be speculated by Mourinho and targeted deployment. However, the fixed advantage of the players is that the players cooperate more tacitly... The game has begun, Inter Milan kicks off... Let's watch the game... Ah! Xiao Donggao dribbles the ball and breaks through......"

The game just started. After Milito and Etoo passed the ball in the middle circle, they gave the ball to Gao Xiaodong. Gao Xiaodong saw Pato rushing towards him too quickly and did not pass the ball. He spiked the ball past Pato and rushed forward.

aMilan all think that Gao Xiaodong is not good at breaking through. He just came to the middle circle when he saw him and did not double-team him. It was just that the front midfielder Ronaldinho came to harass him.

Gao Xiaodong is not good at breaking through, but he is very fast. Seeing that A Milan has a large space in the middle and is still relaxed in defense, he suddenly dribbled the ball and rushed to the 30-meter area of ​​A Milan.

a Milan saw that Gao Xiaodong was coming very quickly, and then realized the danger. Gattuso and Pirlo quickly came to intercept it, but Gao Xiaodong pushed the ball across from a large angle and shot it thirty-seven meters away.

Less than 20 seconds into the game, Milan goalkeeper Storari had not returned to the front of the goal and stood in front of the goal, the ball flew over like lightning. Storari was almost stunned. He subconsciously flew to save the ball but did not touch the ball. Just when Storari was feeling desperate, he heard a bang and the ball hit the crossbar and flew out. 8
