The Prince of Inter Milan starts with Brother Xiaosa

Chapter 236 Ordering a House (Thanks to my book friend Three Kingdoms for the reward!)
  This is not Leo's first hat trick in Serie A, but today's opponent is a little different.

He scored three goals against his rivals in the same city. This performance was enough to make all the Nerazzurri cheer and shout crazily for him.

He scored a hat trick in the Milan Derby for the first time. After the game, many Inter Milan fans still shouted Leo's name loudly.

"It's great to win the derby.

To be honest, I didn't think about it that much when I was on the field. I just wanted to help the team defeat the opponent.

Three goals is still second, and we are even more happy that we are now back at the top of the Serie A standings.

Thank you to the fans for their support at the scene. It is with their help that we successfully achieved the reversal! "

After the Milan Derby victory, there was a national team game, but Leo was not selected.

On November 11, the Italian national team and Romania played a warm-up match at the Arena in Klagenfurt, southern Austria.

However, since it was not a European Cup qualifier but just a friendly match, Prandelli did not recruit a number of main players. Instead, he used this game to inspect new players.

A large number of players who have been absent from the national team for a long time or some new players who have never played in the national team have been recruited.

In the lineup, Giuseppe Rossi served as the captain. Ranocchia, Balzaretti, Ledesma and Diamanti, who had never started for the Italian team before, made their national team debut.

Players such as Aquilani and Balotelli who have been absent from the national team for a period of time once again have the opportunity to start.

After returning home from training, Leo turned on the TV and watched the game live on TV.

At halftime, Italy trailed Romania 0-1.

Leo frowned as he watched. He thought that Italy might not be able to win easily, but he really didn't expect the game to end like this.

I took a bite of the Margherita pizza I just bought from the pizza shop across the street. My mouth was a little dry and I poured myself a cup of Coke and lay down comfortably on the sofa.

Leo muted the TV that was showing commercials and closed his eyes silently.

The strike combination of Balotelli and Giuseppe Rossi did not produce the effect Prandelli wanted.

But the main problem is not with the two young Italian forwards.

As an attacking midfielder, Diamanti was supposed to assume the important task of connecting the midfielder and the forward line, and play the role of organizing the offense to deliver ammunition to Balotelli and Rossi.

But for most of the first half, Rossi and Balotelli could only be seen returning from the front court to the midfield to counterattack and catch the ball.

Even after playing for 45 minutes, Diamanti was unable to pass a threatening ball.

Not to mention comparing with Leo, it would be difficult for anyone to perform worse than him.

"Diamanti must be replaced in the second half, otherwise Italy might lose!"

As Leo expected, at the end of the halftime break, Prandelli made three substitutions.

Diamanti was replaced by Montolivo.

However, Montolivo, whose playing style is soft, failed to play the role expected by the head coach.

The game lasted until the 82nd minute before Italy finally seized a corner kick opportunity!

A corner kick was taken from the left, Quagliarella stepped forward, and the Romanian forward Marica, who returned to defense, headed the ball from the center and scored an own goal!

He may have regarded the clearance as a header and his own goal as Italy's goal.

In the end, Italy and Romania tied one to one!
  After watching this game, many Italian fans said that Leo is still indispensable for the team.

“It looked like Italy barely created any threatening offense throughout the game.

Even the goal was due to the opponent's own goal! "

"Players like Diamanti and Mauri can start in Italy. Can Diamanti play as a midfielder for the national team? You don't have the ability, right?"

"Can Rossi and Balotelli really know how to play football? I just saw them running back and forth like headless chickens in the frontcourt!"

Even if it was just a friendly match to inspect the players, the Italian fans were not merciful at all after the game.

Keyboard warriors are trolling everyone online.

For this reason, after Balotelli returned to his residence in Manchester, he also set the house on fire to vent his dissatisfaction.

When Leo received the call in the middle of the night, he was completely confused.

"What happened? Did you burn down your home? Did the fire alarm go off? Was anyone hurt?"

After finally finding useful information from the messy words on the other end of the phone, Leo breathed a sigh of relief.

The house was only burned down, but fortunately no one was injured.

"As long as everything is fine, you call Mancini and Raiola immediately and let them handle the matter.

It's better not to give interviews and stop talking nonsense, you hear me? "

Although Leo was very touched that Ba Shen was the first to call him after the accident, he was really speechless.

I just said it's best not to let Mario play outside. If this happened in Milan, it might be easier to deal with.

After all, the police here are already familiar with Balotelli, and they are not surprised by what kind of bad things he will do. When he came to the training ground with panda eyes the next day, head coach Leonardo thought Leo had played all night.

The Inter Milan coach laughed when he learned that it was because Balotelli had something happened in England.

Leonardo was extremely lucky that Bashen was not in the team now, otherwise he would have been the one who should have had a headache and been unable to sleep in the middle of the night.

On November 11st, Inter Milan went to the away game for the thirteenth round of Serie A against Chievo.

Inter Milan is still plagued by injury problems.

Ten players including Cesar, Maicon, Chivu, Samuel, Motta, Mariga, Obi, Muntari, Coutinho and Milito were all absent due to injuries.

The injury list is almost enough to form a lineup.

At the Bente Gedi Stadium, less than two minutes into the game, Pandev received Leo's exquisite direct pass and passed the goalkeeper before hitting the empty goal but hitting the post!

Pandev seemed a little annoyed when he missed an excellent scoring opportunity by missing an empty goal.

And his goalpost seems to indicate that the Nerazzurri will not win this game smoothly.

Even though it was an away game, defending champion Inter Milan still took the initiative to attack first.

However, Chievo's tenacious defense repeatedly resolved the crisis.

In the 19th minute, Chievo's full-back Nicolas Frei made a precise pass from the right, and Perisier jumped up from behind Thornton and headed the ball towards the top!

The ball flew into the blind spot on the right side of the goal like a cannonball!
  One to zero!

The home team scored first!

After taking the lead, Chievo continued to put pressure on Inter Milan's defense.

Pellissier broke into the penalty area from the right. His shot from the front right corner of the small penalty area was blocked by the Inter Milan defender and then hit the side net!
  After another minute, Chievo's Treo almost had a one-on-one goal, but was called offside by the referee. The slow motion showed that the offside was only a matter of millimeters.

The absence of the main goalkeeper and a number of defense generals has indeed caused the Nerazzurri's defense to become a problem.

In addition, Chievo had a certain advantage playing at home, and their head coach Pioli shouted loudly for the team to continue to strengthen their offense.

This feeling was very bad, and Leo felt that no matter what, they should not be beaten like this by their opponents.

We can't continue playing like this, otherwise it will only be a matter of time before our opponents continue to widen the score gap!

In the 39th minute, Leo got the ball in the backcourt and he made eye contact with Thornton.

David Thornton understood immediately and quickly advanced into the opponent's half.

Leo got rid of Fernandez's attack and took advantage of the situation and sent a long diagonal kick to the gap on the right!
  After receiving the ball, Thornton took the ball all the way to the bottom line and made a pass!
  Eto'o's feint shot from the front point interfered with the judgment of Chievo goalkeeper Sorrentino. Pandev followed up with a left-footed low shot from the back point and hit the goal post with a "Duang!"

But this time I had better luck. The ball hit the inside of the goal post and bounced into the net!

One to one!

Inter Milan equalized the score!
  It's really not easy. Before the start of this game, Inter Milan's supporters really never thought that it would be so difficult.

In stoppage time, Cambiaso's long shot from outside the penalty area went over the crossbar. Chievo quickly counterattacked!
  Perissier countered offside and made a single goal, but his left-footed shovel shot that fell to the ground before the penalty spot missed the right post.

At the end of the half, the score was level one to one.

At the beginning of the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again.

It was almost the same coordination as the goal in the first half. Leo made a diagonal pass, and David Thornton broke through to the right baseline and passed in!
  However, this time the Inter Milan player who connected in the middle of the penalty area failed to grab the point, and Sorrentino lifted the ball over the crossbar.

Immediately after Leo took a corner kick from the left, Bonucci beat Chievo defender Andreoli's header slightly higher!
  In the 55th minute, Cambiaso suffered discomfort in his right leg and was replaced by Stankovic.

Leo made a direct pass from the frontcourt, and Stankovic took a powerful long-range shot directly from outside the penalty area!
  Chievo goalkeeper Sorrentino jumped up and blocked the ball with one palm!

After withstanding the Nerazzurri's stormy offensive at the start of the second half, the home team looked for opportunities to launch a counterattack.

Constant's left-footed shot from the outside of the penalty area caused Inter goalkeeper Castellani to save the ball!
  However, when the home fans were ready to celebrate the goal, Fernandez's supplementary shot against a mostly empty goal actually missed!

The Chievo fans in the stands exclaimed in disbelief and held their heads in their hands.

Leo's diagonal pass, Eto'o started to break through from the left!
  I saw Eto'o dribbling the ball faster and faster after starting, breaking through four defensive players of the home team in a row!

Eto'o broke into the left side of the penalty area and shot into the far corner of the goal with his right foot!
  Two to one!

Inter Milan overtook the score!
  What is a cheetah! This is the true nature of the Cameroon cheetah!

Seeing Eto'o's wonderful goal, the head coach Leonardo on the sidelines also applauded.

After reversing the score, Leonardo replaced two players in a row. Two young players, Nwankwo Obiola and Alibek, came on the bench, replacing Leo and the goal hero Eto'o.

There is not much time left in the game. As long as the Nerazzurri hold on to this score, they can successfully score three league points.

Leonardo really didn't want to see any more main players injured, so he replaced both Leo and Eto'o, who were violated the most on the court today.

In the fourth minute of stoppage time, Rigoni stopped the ball before it went out of the baseline and passed from the right. Taylor missed the ball in front of the goal. Moscardelli, who came on as a substitute, shoveled his left foot into the net from close range in front of the goal!
