The 18th round of the league against Chewo was the first game in 10 years and the last game in the first half.

It is both the end and the beginning. Although Inter Milan, who is 8 points ahead of second place AC Milan, has firmly won the half-time championship, the game is highly valued and hopes to have a good start on the away game.

Although Chivo is only ranked 12th, they are definitely a tough guy. They only advanced from Serie B last season, and Inter Milan only got a record of one win and one draw. Roma and Juventus have suffered enough on Chivo. This time, Inter Milan played away, and it is not easy to get all three-pointers.

Italy is still cold in January, and the match between Inter Milan and Chievo was scheduled to be held at 12:30 in the morning. This time is 19:30 in the evening of China. It is definitely a blessing for China's Serie A fans and Gao. They finally can enjoy Gao Xiaodong's performance without staying up late.

As Etoo and Montari returned to China to play in the African Cup, Samuel's injury still did not recover completely, and Inter Milan's lineup also changed a lot.

The center back became Lucio and Matrazi, while the left back was played by Zivo, and Zanetti and Cambiaso were paired with double midfielders, Gao Xiaodong, Balotelli, Stankovic were paired with three front-quarter midfielders, and Milito was single center.

Cordoba, who partnered with Lucio in the first two games, sat on the bench. Mourinho's explanation was that Chivo's high-altitude ball was very threatening, and Inter Milan needed Matrazi's header, but neither the fans nor Sky Sports commentator Mazzola thought so.

During Christmas, the Premier League broke out Manchester City fired head coach Mark Hughes and invited former Inter Milan coach Mancini as head coach. After Mancini took office, he immediately expressed his hope that Inter Milan's subordinates could play for Manchester City.

Cordoba was the first to come forward to support him, saying that if Mancini wanted him to go to Manchester City, he would seriously consider it.

Mazzola and Mourinho have a bad relationship. He said: "There are many players in Inter Milan who have a good relationship with Manic and have close contact in private, but no one will publicly express their desire to go to Manchester City. Cordoba's statement makes Mourinho very embarrassed. With Mourinho's vindictive personality, letting Cordoba sit on the bench is definitely a small revenge."

Cordoba is not afraid that Mourinho is unhappy. He is originally a substitute. As long as Samuel returns from injury, even if he does not offend Mourinho, he will not become the main force. Therefore, sitting on the bench, Cordoba still chats with Pandev in a relaxed manner to help Pandev get familiar with the team's situation.

After the game started, he played proactively against Serie A overlord Inter Milan, with orderly offense and defense, and no fear at all.

Inter Milan was in a slow state. In the second minute of the game, Chivo midfielder Marcolini directly took a high ball from the left sideline to find his striker Bogdani.

Bogdani is 1.91 meters tall and is the key defensive target of Inter Milan. Lucio is specifically responsible for guarding him.

Facing the incoming ball, Bogdani did not go to get it, but cleverly took Lucio away and gave the ball to his partner Pelicier.

Pelicier was less than 1.8 meters tall, fast and experienced. He pushed the ball to the tall and big Matrazi, accelerated rapidly, and rushed to the left side of the penalty area.

At this moment, Matrazi's speed could not keep up, and Cambiaso had no time to defend, so he could only watch Pelicier break into the penalty area from the ribs.

Goalkeeper Cesar was very decisive in attacking. He blocked the corner and rushed towards Pelicier.

Pelicier had no time to adjust and had no room to dunk the goalkeeper, so he could only volley at the small angle of his left foot.

Cesar reached out to save his hand in a hurry and did not touch the ball. The ball flew past Cesar's hand and flew out of the bottom line close to the post.

Although the ball did not go in, Chivo's attack this time was very threatening. If Cesar did not attack in time, perhaps Pelicier would have scored the ball.

Mourinho returned to the coach's seat from the sidelines. Before he could sit down, he was immediately frightened and stood up again. He knew that Feifu was not easy to play, but he still didn't expect that his opponent would get into the state so quickly and created a shot opportunity at the beginning.

The two central defenders sent by Mourinho are tall and large, while Chivo's two forwards are one high and one fast, and they cooperate and have a tacit understanding. Inter Milan is a bit troublesome to defend.

In the fifth minute of the game, Balotelli got the ball and was knocked down. Gao Xiaodong quickly sent a free kick. The ball was pushed out by Chevo's central defender Jepez. Chevo got the ball and launched a quick counterattack. The ball was passed to Pelicier. Pelicier tried to attack Matrazi with speed, but was knocked down by the full-back Zivo defending over.

This was a tactical foul, and the referee on duty, Pierre Pauli showed Zivo a yellow card.

Just five minutes into the game, Inter Milan's left-back Zivo received a yellow card, which was quite unfavorable to Inter Milan's defense.

Inter Milan fans feel that the situation is wrong and their expressions are serious. No one wants to lose the first game of the New Year. Moreover, Inter Milan is currently unbeaten in 17 games. Inter Milan fans also hope that they can win the championship with an unbeaten record and prevent the city from being so beautiful. If they lose, they don’t know when they can complete such a miracle.

Chivo's free kick was about 25 meters away from the goal. Chivo midfielder Marcolini took the penalty. Facing Cesar, one of the best goalkeepers in Serie A, Marcolini was too pursuing angles and the free kick he kicked was off the post.

It took ten minutes to play at the beginning before Inter Milan finally got into the state.

Gao Xiaodong received the ball with his back, and flipped his feet, passing it to Balotelli. He quickly turned around and bypassed the midfielder Rigoni who was close to defending him. Balotelli then knocked on Gao Xiaodong and played a beautiful two-pass one-cooperation.

Gao Xiaodong didn't wait for the defensive players to come over and shot angrily.

The ball was extremely fast, and Milito in the penalty area did not dodge, and the ball hit his leg and slightly missed the post.

There was a scream in surprise in the stands. Chivo's fans were very scared. If they hadn't hit Milito's leg, could their goalkeeper Sorentino save? If they hit Milito's leg and bounced into the goal frame, they would definitely score.

CCTV commentator He Hui, who came to the scene to comment, said regretfully: "A good opportunity. If Xiao Dong scored, he could get rid of Milito and take the lead in the scorer list. Currently, both of them have scored 14 goals, and the third place Dinatale scored 13...Chevo has a long pass to attack...Bogdani grabbed the header, and the ball was ferryed to Luciano...Luciano made a straight pass...Pelicier inserted diagonally, Matrazi followed the defense, Pelicier fell to the ground...In the penalty area!!! See how the referee judges... As long as the whistle is blowing, it will be a penalty! Fortunately! Referee Pierre Pauli did not say anything, and he signaled the game to continue..."

Pelicier tripped by Matrazi, but the referee did not award a penalty, which made Chivo's players a little excited. Most of them raised their hands to protest and did not delay Inter Milan's counterattack at the first time. When Chivo discovered that it was not good, Inter Milan had passed the ball to Chivo's 30-meter area.
