The Prince of Inter Milan starts with Brother Xiaosa

Chapter 238 The fastest hat! (Thanks to the book friend Yuanwang Qingshi Jubianguan for the reward!)

The 2010-2011 Champions League group stage has completed five rounds, and the qualifying situation of most groups has also had preliminary results.

Defending champion Inter Milan secured the top spot in Group A with 13 points with four wins and one draw and successfully advanced to the knockout rounds.

Tottenham Hotspur, who had two wins, two draws and one loss in the first five games, also ranked second in the group with eight points and qualified with Inter Milan!
  In the last round, Bremen and Twente may go all out unless they want to compete for third place in the group, otherwise they may just give up.

After all, for a team like them, the Champions League is the icing on the cake, and ensuring results in the domestic league is more important.

Inter Milan also returned to Serie A and continued to sit at the Meazza Stadium, ushering in the fourteenth round of the league.

This game against Parma is Inter Milan's last home game in 2010. Of course, the Nerazzurri hopes to use a victory to reward the fans who have supported the team throughout the year.

However, the injury situation within the team is still not optimistic, and Leonardo has recruited many young players from the youth team to make up the number.

It had been raining in Milan for a while before the game started, and the Meazza stadium had accumulated a little water and was very slippery.

From the opening stage, Parma, playing away from home, started to attack first.

It can only be that Parma coach Marino has some ideas. He sees that Inter Milan's current defense is a major shortcoming, and it would be good to try hard to take away a point in the away game.

Giovinco, who is on loan from Juventus, passed the ball to the right side of the penalty area. Inter Milan's old player Crespo volleyed the ball over the crossbar in front of the goal!

Parma made a comeback a minute later. Candreva's cross from the right hit Zanetti's calf and changed direction slightly!

Crespo got ahead of the home team's defender and scored with his right foot!

One to zero!

The away team scores first!

During the counterattack, Candreva ran 30 meters and took a long shot with his right foot from outside the penalty area!

Inter Milan goalkeeper Castellani threw the ball away, and Crespo was only one step away from the follow-up shot.

Immediately afterwards, Parma midfielder Dzemayli once again took a long shot from outside the penalty area, and Castellachi got the ball.

Candreva passed the ball, and Giovinco's right-footed shot from outside the penalty area missed the left post!

After scoring the goal, Parma had no intention of stopping and continued to suppress the Nerazzurri with a flood of attacks.

Inter Milan, which suffered an unexpected conceding, only then gradually began to recover and organized an effective attack under the leadership of Leo.

Pandev made a pass from the left. Eto'o stopped the ball with his chest in the penalty area, turned around and volleyed with his left foot. The ball was blocked by the Parma defender!
  In the 18th minute of the first half, Leo stole the ball in the frontcourt and launched a counterattack on the spot!
  After getting rid of Massimo Gobi's attack, he distributed the ball to the left. Kolarov took the ball to the left side of the penalty area and knocked back.

Leo fired furiously from the sideline of the penalty area!

Parma defender Lucarelli, who was standing in front of him, turned around to avoid, but the ball still hit his back and deflected into the lower right corner of the goal!
  Inter Milan equalized the score!
  And Leo's goal also sounded the clarion call for the Nerazzurri's counterattack!
  Shortly after the restart, Inter stole the ball in the backcourt and started a fast break.

Leo cleverly distributed the ball, and David Thornton hit back after a breakthrough on the right!

Still kicking the ball in the arc of the penalty area!

But this time Leo switched to a powerful low shot with his left foot. The ball hit Antonelli's leg and then changed line and folded into the lower left corner of the goal!

Two to one!

Inter Milan overtook the score!
  There was only fifty-nine seconds between Leo's two goals, and he scored two goals in less than a minute!
  The Meazza stadium burst into warm applause!
  While Leo was enjoying the shouts and cheers of the audience, the one who was most injured was undoubtedly Parma's goalkeeper Mirante.

To be honest, these two goals were not entirely his responsibility. Leo's shooting quality was of course very high, but Mirante was not powerless to fight back.

But the teammate in front of him insisted on touching the ball and changing its direction to "help" the opponent score.

Either you just clear the ball directly, or you don't mess with me and I might still have a chance to save it.

But it’s hard to say this. Wouldn’t it affect the defensive enthusiasm of teammates?

Mirante's eyes were filled with sadness, and he could only swallow it with bitterness.

It wasn't over yet. Two deflected goals made Parma's defense panic. Leo soon found another chance!
  Leo passed the ball directly to the right side of the penalty area. Faced with the defensive player's block in the penalty area, Eto'o didn't have much room to shoot with his heel!

Leo caught the ball, broke into the small penalty area, and scored with his right foot!

Three to one!

Inter Milan expands its lead!

Three goals in five minutes, Leo scored a hat trick!

To be precise, three goals were scored in four minutes and thirty-seven seconds, and Leo set a new record!
  The Nerazzurri in the stands stood up and shouted Leo's name to pay tribute to him.

Leo was also very happy. He waved his arms to signal the fans to be more enthusiastic.

Unfortunately, the weather was not very good today and the opponents in the game were relatively ordinary. There were not many Nerazzurri fans who came to watch the game.

Meazza, which can accommodate 80,000 people, only had over 50,000 spectators today, and some places were empty.

Those Nerazzurri who did not come to the stadium to watch the game are now beginning to regret it. If they had known better, they would have gone to witness the historical moment of Leo, the team's fastest hat trick.

The situation took a turn for the worse within a few minutes, and Parma, who had been stunned by Inter Milan's three consecutive goals, regained its spirit.

Godby made a pass from the left, and Crespo's forward shot went over the crossbar. Then Angelo passed the curve ball from the right, and it was Crespo who grabbed the point.

The former Inter Milan striker's header in the middle of the penalty area bounced off the ball. Castellachi flew and hit the ball with one palm!
  In stoppage time, Leo passed the ball from the frontcourt and Eto'o shot slightly wide of the left post.

The exciting first half soon came to an end, with Inter Milan temporarily leading Parma 3-1.

David Thornton, who received an assist in the first half, asked the head coach to be replaced with a painful expression.

“My stomach hurts so much that I can’t stand it!”

Leonardo could only make a substitution with a wry smile, letting Cordoba come off the bench as a guest right back.

At the beginning of the second half, Parma took the lead and launched another attack!
  In the 49th minute, Candreva made a direct pass to the front of the penalty area. Gobi's left toe poked through Lucio's crotch. Bonucci's clearance was blocked by Zemaili's leg, and the ball bounced to the top of the penalty area!
  Crespo's right-footed low shot from the penalty area deceived Castellaci and went into the lower left corner of the goal!
  Two to three!
  Parma gets another goal back!
  After this incident, the game became suspense again.

In fact, Crespo has entered the end of his career after leaving Inter Milan in 08.

After the contract with Chelsea expired, the Argentine also returned to the Apennines on a free transfer.

However, whether in Genoa or now Parma, Crespo's goals are pitiful.

Crespo had only scored two goals in the previous thirteen league games this season. Today, he doubled his goals in one game.

Crespo was able to score twice at San Siro today, probably because he is very familiar with this place and is determined to show off.

After scoring the second goal, Crespo did not celebrate too excitedly.

Although Nerazzurri in the stands didn't applaud him, they didn't have much ill feelings towards him. At most, they lamented that Crespo was already an opponent when he saw Crespo score at Meazza again.

Leo and Pandev played consecutively, and Cambiasso's left-footed attacks from the penalty area line were one after another.

Giovinco broke through and scored the ball from the left. Angelo pushed the shot with his right foot from a small angle. The ball hit the inside of the right post and popped out!
  A minute later, Eto'o's long shot from outside the penalty area missed the right post.

In the 56th minute, Zanetti was brought down by a Parma defender on the penalty area line, but the referee ignored it.

Leo's overhead pass was carefully cleared by the opponent's defender and passed the baseline, giving Inter Milan a corner kick opportunity.

The corner kick on the right went to the forward point. Bonucci headed the ball from the small penalty area. Cambiasso volleyed the ball into the goal with his left foot from close range from the back point!
  Four to two!
  Inter Milan opened the score again!

Leonardo then replaced Leo with Stankovic.

Inter Milan's No. 10, who scored a hat-trick in this game when Leo was off the field, once again enjoyed the cheers and applause of the audience.

Parma seized the opportunity of Inter Milan's recent substitutions and launched another counterattack!
  Antonelli and Giovinco kicked the wall from the left and broke into the penalty area with a low pass. Zaccardo's push shot in front of the goal hit the inside of the goal post and bounced back into the field!

The visiting team almost got another goal back!
  A few minutes later, Zaccardo made a cross from the right, Crespo's header hit the back post, Antonelli volleyed across the goal with his left foot, and Candreva's header from the center hit the crossbar!

Inter Milan continued to make substitution adjustments. Thiago Motta, who had recovered from injury, came off the bench to replace Biabiani, who had not performed well throughout the game.

It is a pity that after Leo left the field, the Nerazzurri was unable to create any scoring opportunities.

In the end, Inter Milan defeated Parma 4-2 at home to continue to lead the standings.

There will finally be no games in midweek next week, which can give the players a little breather.

After winning the game against Parma, although he was not very satisfied with the team's overall performance except for Leo, Leonardo still gave the first team members a day off.

Leo also had a long time to rest and adjust.

Playing game after game is fulfilling, but also exhausting.

A balance between work and rest is a very important thing, so Leo called Thornton to his home, and the two played "Live 2011" for an afternoon.

"What happened to you yesterday? Did you eat anything before the game?"

"No, it's just a normal diet. I don't know what's going on."

"Oh, maybe I caught a cold from the rain."

"What do you mean?"

It was not difficult for David Thornton to understand what "caught a cold" meant.

Leo scratched his head and didn't know how to explain it.

"Forget it, it doesn't matter."

Another easy six-to-one defeat, Thornton threw away the handle.

“I don’t want to play anymore, it’s boring.

Shall we go to the bar for a drink? "

Although Leo couldn't understand David Thornton's behavior of going to the bar to drink today because he had a bad cold yesterday, he respected it.

"I won't go. You can go and play by yourself. I would rather rest at home."

"Tch, it's boring. I wish Mario was still here."
