Chapter 363 National Derby
There was a back-and-forth in the pre-match war of words. This summer, Juventus spent 9 million euros to buy Argentinian star Carlos Tevez from Manchester City.

The ability of "Te Xixiang" has always been undoubted, but his character problem is really unflattering.

Any club would probably have a headache if they encountered such a trouble-making thorn.

Otherwise, the Bianconeri would not have spent less than 10 million to recruit such a strong player.

Even last season, the Argentine scored 17 goals and provided 15 assists for Manchester City.

Having just joined Juventus this season, Tevez has been in hot form scoring goals in the first two rounds of the league.

This also made Juventini have a different view of him and look forward to his future with the Bianconeri.

Tevez expressed confidence in an interview:

"I've conquered Stamford Bridge, Old Trafford, Anfield, Olympique Rome...

I think it shouldn't be difficult to score at Meazza. I hope I can score against Inter Milan this time. "

At this time, the camera happened to be pointed meaningfully at the Bianconeri coach Conte on the sidelines.

Tevez fell during the confrontation with Thiago Silva, and referee Orsato signaled that there was no foul and the game continued.

Juventus goalkeeper Buffon flew over and lifted the ball over the baseline with one palm!
Leo's corner kick went into the penalty area and was punched out by Buffon!

Naturally, the goalkeeper remains the same Buffon.

On the visiting team, Conte chose to believe in his 3-5-2 tactics in his 100th game coaching Juventus.

Under his leadership, the team has gradually improved and achieved good results. All that is left now is a championship to prove the results of his work.

For example, Ogbonna, who just joined Juventus, is on his candidate list.

In terms of injuries, De Rossi recovered from injury and entered the bench on standby, while Srna temporarily withdrew from the starting lineup due to some discomfort before the game.

Left back Kolarov, right back David Thornton, Thiago Silva and Bonucci partnered as central defender and goalkeeper Handanovic.

The goalkeeper's outstanding performance also boosted the visiting team's morale, and they quickly counterattacked into the opponent's half.

Giovinco, Vidal and Pogba sit in the midfield, with Asamoah and Lichtsteiner on the left and right wings.

Could this be paving the way for something to come?

As soon as the Brazilian said this, all the media reporters present smiled heartily.

Incredible save!
Buffon immediately stood up and roared after two consecutive superb saves to resolve the crisis!

Today's game is another milestone in his 100th game coaching Juventus. Although it is away from home, Conte firmly believes that he can take away a victory from here!
In the 12th minute, Cristiano Ronaldo broke away from Lichtsteiner's defense on the left and cut inside to the edge of the penalty area. Barzagli rushed forward and fired a powerful long-range shot!

Balotelli received a pass from Pirlo, stopped the ball in his chest and broke into the penalty area!
But then he was intercepted by Ogbonna under Chiellini's position.

I was worried that after our game, he would run back to Argentina crying. "

Facing their mortal enemy, Inter Milan formed a four-three-three formation to challenge.

Oops, why does this guy seem a little off today?
Not only did Leo feel no joy at all, but he also felt a lot of worry.

The defensive deployment of the Bianconeri's three backs plus the wing-backs on both sides effectively restricted Inter Milan's attacks from both sides.

The backbone of Inter Milan's defense, Brazilian defender Thiago Silva, just smiled disdainfully at Tevez's remarks.

Vucinic recovered from injury and formed a strike partner with Tevez.

The three central defenders are Chiellini, Barzagli and the Italian central defender Ogbonna, who was poached from the local rivals Torino for 15 million today.

2013年9月14日,13-14赛季意大利足球甲级联赛第三轮的一场重头戏即将在米兰的梅阿查球场展开角逐!
Defending champion Inter Milan sits at home and faces Juventus, who have promised to challenge their dominance since the beginning of this season!

Last season Conte was suspended due to a gambling scandal, but Juventus still chose to give him full trust.

After countless nights of tossing and turning, Conte had already racked his brains to defeat the Nerazzurri.

Pogba received the ball and turned around to send a pick-up pass. Vidal's long-range shot from the outside of the penalty area was blocked by Inter Milan center back Bonucci with his body!

Once again, there was no success. The visiting team's defense was really in place and did not give Inter Milan's powerful offensive line the slightest opportunity.

This is undoubtedly a good opportunity for him to inspect the national team.

Leo leads the midfield, while Pirlo and Modric continue to play together.

The assisting defense of Vidal and Pogba in the middle also successfully intercepted Leo's several penetrations in the middle.

The offensive and defensive transitions between the two teams are extremely rapid. Sometimes the broadcast signal is still returning to defend the previous attack, and the counterattack has already hit the penalty area on the other side.

Leo created chaos with a long pass, and five defensive players were instantly in position in the Juventus penalty area.

After all, the reputation of being "extremely homesick" has spread all over the world.

The game started at a fast pace, but neither side created a good scoring opportunity.

Italian national team coach Prandelli also appeared in the Meazza stands.

Juventus took the lead in the first half.

This highly anticipated Italian national derby not only attracted nearly 80,000 spectators to watch the game.

Kolarov's left-footed volley from the left side of the penalty area was blocked by Buffon again!

The three forward players are still Cristiano Ronaldo, Balotelli and Neymar.

“I don’t have anything to say to Tevez, maybe he just came to Serie A and hasn’t seen much of the world.

Neymar dribbled continuously from the right side of the penalty area past Ogbonna, but despite Chiellini's interference, his low shot still missed.

Modric committed a tactical foul and brought down Tevez while returning to defense, and was given a yellow card by the referee.

Then Lichtsteiner tackled Balotelli and also received a yellow card.

The smell of gunpowder at the scene became stronger and stronger, and the die-hard Inter Milan fans in the stands also set off fireworks.

The smoke of gunfire somewhat affected the sight of the players on the field, but the referee remained indifferent.

Bonucci pulled down Vidal from behind in his own penalty area. Orsato signaled that Vidal had a handball first and there was no penalty.

A group of Juventus players surrounded the referee in protest and wanted an explanation.

Vidal, who reacted most violently, was also given a yellow card by Orsato.

The game lasted less than twenty minutes, and it was already dizzying.

This powerful dialogue is destined not to end easily.

Pogba took a kick from the outside of the penalty area and hit a powerful long-range shot straight into the dead center of the goal!

Fortunately, Inter Milan's goalkeeper Handanovic was focused and prepared in advance to make a flying save and the ball was narrowly missed.

Juventus' corner kick was taken and Thiago Silva headed the ball to clear the ball.

Barzagli's long-range shot from the outside bounced off the defender. Leo, Pirlo and Modric passed and received the ball continuously through the midfield.

Pogba was a little anxious after being teased, and he scissor-kicked Modric from behind.

It stands to reason that this kind of bad behavior is completely worthy of a red card, but the referee Orsato hesitated a little and only took out a yellow card.

This actually made everyone in the audience dissatisfied with Lazuli, but seeing that this guy's penalty was barely fair, everyone didn't pay too much attention to it.

But just two minutes later, Lichtsteiner knocked Kolarov down with another rough foul.

The referee was merciful again and did not show the Swiss the second yellow card of the game.

Lichtsteiner, who had escaped unharmed, smiled triumphantly.

Suddenly the audience burst into boos, and tens of thousands of Nerazzurri fans in the Meazza stadium vented their dissatisfaction against Orsato and Lichtsteiner.

Giovinco made a diagonal pass from the middle, and Vucinic's right-footed volley in front of the small penalty area missed the far post due to interference from the defensive player!
Balotelli received a direct pass from his teammate and sought a breakthrough from the center, and Ogbonna came forward to meet him.

Two Italian black men had a one-on-one confrontation!
Bashen tried to deceive his opponent with a simple change of rhythm, but Ogbonna was not fooled.

He had no choice but to accelerate and force a breakthrough. Ogbonna was indeed slightly inferior to Bashen in terms of speed, but the tall and strong Juventus defender had no fear!

Ogbonna was knocked down by Balotelli in a frontal block, but Balotelli himself was not having a good time either. He lost his balance and fell to the sideline of the penalty area!

The referee signaled that no foul was committed and the game continued.

Chiellini smiled and came over to clear the ball with his big foot.

After Bashen stood up, he glared at his opponent fiercely. He still looked down upon Ogbonna, otherwise he wouldn't have suffered such a loss.

The 25-year-old Ogbonna is definitely not a young player anymore. He made his debut in Turin and became an absolute main force when the team was relegated to the second division.

Last season Turin returned to Serie A, and Ogbonna's performance in just one season was recognized by many wealthy teams.

In the end, Juventus won the competition and successfully introduced this strong support by virtue of its favorable conditions and the huge advantage of being close to home.

After the news was exposed, hundreds of Turin fans took to the streets that night to protest Ogbonna's transfer and called him a "traitor".

You must know that Ogbonna is not a mercenary. He grew up in Turin since he was a child and has been a member of the Turin team since the youth training period.

However, Turin fans watched such a player grow up but chose to join the archrival of his home team when he was just playing, giving the club that trained him a severe stab in the back.

Ogbonna has outstanding physical condition and comprehensive skills, excellent frontal defensive ability and a good shot.

Occasional inattention and mistakes, as well as shortcomings of average speed and agility, have been effectively compensated for by Conte's three-back system.

Conte's defensive arrangement after the start of today's game also had the effect he expected.

Even Cristiano Ronaldo, who has scored a lot of goals since the start of the season, fell into confusion in the targeted defense.

However, defense alone cannot win the game. Juventus' offensive performance is a bit weak compared to their defense today.

Tevez was very harsh with his words before the game, but on the field, his words alone were of no use.

When the Argentinian and Thiago Silva faced off, their speed was already at a disadvantage, and physical confrontation also had no advantage.

Therefore, as the first half came to an end, apart from a few long-range shots from outside the penalty area, only Vucinic seemed to have made several threatening attacks.

Tevez was unable to display his talents under the tight defense of the home team.

At the end of the first half, the score was still tied at zero to zero, which seemed inconsistent with the heated sidelines on the field.

After the start of the second half, Juventus took the lead in making substitutions.

Conte replaced Lichtsteiner with Isla, who was carrying a yellow card and was a little out of control.

Isla, who had just come on as a substitute, did not immediately enter the game, which gave Inter Milan a good opportunity.

Leo was keenly aware of this opportunity and hit the gap on the left side of the frontcourt with a precise long-distance pass!

No one thought that Leo's pass was too big. Just a moment later, a figure wearing a blue and black jersey was seen rushing out!
Cristiano Ronaldo ran wildly for half-court, leaving all the defensive players behind!

The Portuguese received Leo's pass from the left front outside the penalty area!
Alone!
Buffon stood ready, his eyes fixed on Cristiano Ronaldo.

Cristiano Ronaldo didn't wait for the Juventus goalkeeper to attack him, but he volleyed a powerful shot straight into the dead center of the goal!
One to zero!

Inter Milan took the lead in breaking the deadlock!

Ronaldo rushed to the corner flag area to celebrate wildly, and Leo also ran over.

At the same time, Leo kept making gestures to the stands, indicating to everyone that Lazuli could be more enthusiastic!
The whole stadium at San Siro was cheering and shouting!

The situation on the field changed quickly and instantly, and the Bianconeri had to step up their offense and take the initiative!
Tevez knocked back from the right, and Giovinco's long shot from the front of the penalty area went over the crossbar.

In the 58th minute, Tevez dribbled the ball in from the right and then distributed the ball. Vidal's low shot from a small angle on the left side of the penalty area missed the far post!

Three minutes later, Vucinic's powerful low shot from outside the arc of the penalty area was firmly saved by Handanovic.

After no longer tangling with Thiago Silva in the middle and moving to the wing to get the ball, Tevez's performance was much more active than before.

But Juventus seems to be a little short of scoring a goal.

Conte made another substitution, replacing Vucinic with Quagliarella.

In the 73rd minute, under the pressure of Inter Milan in the frontcourt, Chiellini made a mistake in the backcourt.

After stealing the ball, Leo ran 20 meters and sent a direct pass in front of the penalty area. Neymar broke into the right side of the penalty area and shot from close range into the net!

Two to zero!
Inter Milan expands its lead!

Ancelotti only used the first substitution at this time. De Rossi returned from injury and came off the bench to replace Pirlo.

The Italian midfield maestro received a standing ovation from the fans as he came off the pitch.

When trailing by one goal, the players on the visiting team can still attack with all their strength to fight for a glimmer of hope of equalizing the score.

Now two goals behind and not much game time left, some Juventus players gave up on their own.

Pogba received the ball on the outside of the penalty area, and no matter how big the surrounding area was, he went up and shot a long shot that missed.

Such squandering of opportunities is actually very damaging to morale.

The game soon came to an end. In the 89th minute, Juventus had the ball.

Some people are careless, and some people haven't given up yet.

Surrounded by many people, Asamoah broke through to the bottom line from the left and sent a cross!
Vidal succeeded with a left-footed shot from the penalty area to the lower right corner of the goal!
Two to one!

The visiting team actually got a goal back. Is there any suspense in the game?
Ancelotti made successive substitutions, using up the remaining two places and dragging the time into stoppage time.

Leo controlled the ball in the center circle, and Vidal and Isla failed to steal it from his feet.

At the end of the game, Inter Milan defeated Juventus 2-1 at home and won another national derby!
