Chapter 97 Lost streak
AC Milan has a lineup of 4312. Due to the absence of Ibrahimovic's suspension, Milan uses Pato and Robinho on the front line in this game; Boateng is the front midfielder, and the three midfielders are Gattuso, Van Bommel and Seedorf; on the defense line, Nesta's partner Silva is still guarding the center, Abate and Zambrotta are separated on the two wings, and Abbiati guards the city. .

国际米兰则祭出了4231阵型：门将1号塞萨尔，右边后卫13号麦孔，中后卫的位置上两名主力科尔多巴和卢西奥都有伤，上场的是15号拉诺基亚和26号齐沃，左后卫是队长4号萨内蒂。防守型中场8号莫塔、19号“司令”坎比亚索，右边锋27号潘德夫、左边锋9号埃托奥、前腰是刚刚伤愈的10号斯内德，单前锋7号帕齐尼。

After the referee blew the whistle to start the game, many spectators were still looking for seats.To everyone's surprise, AC Milan took the lead with a goal in just 45 seconds!

At that time, Gattuso made a pass from the front of the penalty area. Robinho received the ball and was blocked by Cesar to Pato's feet. Pato kicked and scored an empty goal.This goal is also the second fastest goal in the derby after Mazzola scored in the opening 1963 seconds of the Milan derby on February 2, 24.

AC Milan leads 1-0 and has made a fantastic start!

For Inter Milan, this seems to be the beginning of hell!
Pacini was not tempered at all by Nesta's marking, and the defense composed of Ranocchia and Chivu was full of loopholes.Throughout the first half, the entire Inter Milan team was sleepwalking.

Inter Milan's best chance of the game came in the 43rd minute when Pandev made a cross from the right and Cambiasso headed to the back. Eto'o shot with his foot unmarked, but it missed !Eto'o, who has been in good condition, became a sinner this time.

This missed opportunity is just a microcosm of Inter Milan's lack of state throughout the game.

In the 53rd minute, Inter Milan made things worse.

Pato broke through quickly with the ball, and Chivu knocked down Pato from behind and was sent off directly with a red card.In the next game, Inter Milan only had 10 people to fight.When the attack should have been strengthened, Leonardo reluctantly replaced Pandev with Cordoba to maintain the integrity of the defense.

The third blow to Inter came in the 61st minute.Seedorf split in the middle, before Abarth knocked across the goal, Pato scored with a header and scored twice!

AC Milan leads 2-0!It seems that Inter Milan can't avoid the ending of being double-killed by AC Milan this season!
In the 63rd minute, Inter Milan made a substitution. Milito, who was still slightly injured, came on and replaced Pazzini, who seemed to be doing nothing under Nesta's marking.But this time Miracle Rice can no longer direct miracles.With one less player, Inter Milan couldn't play a decent offense at all, and Rice could only run helplessly and blindly on the field.

In the 87th minute, captain Zanetti pulled down Cassano who had just replaced Robinho in the penalty area.

Zanetti received a yellow card and AC Milan won a penalty.Cassano personally took the penalty hit, destroying Inter Milan's last ray of hope.

3:0!Inter Milan lost to their rivals in the same city with a humiliating score.

After this game, there are only 7 rounds left in the league, Inter Milan is 5 points behind, and there are only theoretical hopes of winning the championship.

At the press conference after the game, Leonardo did not admit defeat: "I don't think this situation is the end of the world, even if the current gap is widened to 5 points. Although I must admit this fact, but another fact The league is not over yet, and the team still has 21 points to go, so the gap of 5 points is not insurmountable. The competition for the league will go on until the end, and Naples and Udinese also have the chance to win the championship. We Will never give up."

Pato broke Inter Milan's goal in the opening 45 seconds. Leonardo believed that this was a turning point. "Pato's lightning goal changed the situation and caused a great impact on our team's emotional and psychological state. It would have been different if Inter had equalized before half-time. We had chances, but we paid for our mistakes."

"The team struggled to find space in the game, but we struggled to create chances. Chivu's exit made it even more difficult for the team. We did too badly in the first 10 minutes of the second half. Did Pato's outstanding performance make it difficult for the team? Am I surprised? No, I don't doubt his ability at all. Unfortunately, we failed to defend him. Pato alone changed the game."

Regarding the excessive behavior of AC Milan fans in this game, Leonardo said: "I want to say that I have always respected everyone. I have had a good experience in Milan. I understand the feelings of the fans. Although I listen to I have seen some bad things, but I still respect them."

Despite Leonardo's optimism, Gazzetta dello Sport sees it differently. "Inter Milan has withdrawn from the championship competition. What Leonardo brought to Inter Milan is not much tactical change and innovation, but just a kind of spiritual inspiration." This sentence can be divided into two understandings. On the one hand, it emphasizes Leonardo allowed Inter Milan to regain the blood and tenacity left by Mourinho, but on the other hand, it also hinted that Leonardo's on-the-spot tactical application, especially the adjustment performance in fierce battles, is really not flattering .

After this game, the atmosphere in the Inter Milan team suddenly became tense.Although Malaysia did not shoot Leonardo in the media, its attitude towards Leonardo in training was even worse.

And 4 days later, in the quarter-elimination match of the Champions League, in the tears of more than 7 fans at home, Inter Milan lost 2:5 to visiting Schalke 04.This game simply nailed Leonardo to the rack of shame.

Shi Hao still hasn't entered the big list, but he, sitting in the stands, feels the same feeling of shame.

After the game, Leonardo announced the cancellation of the holiday and closed training for the whole team.

On April 4th, in the 10nd round of Serie A, Shi Hao entered the squad for the first time, but he didn't expect to play until the end. Leonardo seemed to just let him feel the atmosphere of the game at close range.

Goals from Cambiasso and Maicon showed signs of recovery as Inter saw a clean 2-0 win over visiting Chievo.

但是3天后4月13日，国际米兰在第二回合的淘汰赛中1：2客场输给沙尔克04，结束了本赛季的欧冠之旅。石浩在电视机前和多纳多尼一起看完了整场比赛，老人脸上表现出莫大的哀伤。

If I can play, will it bring some different changes to the game?Whenever he closes his eyes, Shi Hao will think of this question.

After thinking for a long time, the answer is: no.His strength is far inferior to Eto'o and Milito. Even if he can appear on the stage, he cannot influence the game.

Shi Hao's heart was filled with deep unwillingness.It just means that I am not strong enough, I have to keep practicing!So he threw himself into training like crazy.

On April 4, in the 16rd round of Serie A, Inter Milan challenged Parma away.Shi Hao was once again included in the squad and went to the Tardini Stadium with the team.

In the first round of this season's contest, Inter Milan beat their opponents 5:2 at home.Optimism spread throughout the team, thinking that it would not be a big problem to win this game.

But Giovinco's goal gave Inter Milan a blow.Until the end of the first half, Inter Milan has been one goal behind.

During the intermission, Leonardo commented on the performance of the players and arranged the tactics for the second half.

Then his gaze turned to Shi Hao.
