The Prince of Inter Milan starts with Brother Xiaosa

Chapter 79 Away battle with Viola (please subscribe!)

At 10:29 pm on October 9, all games in the th round of Serie A will kick off at the same time.

Inter Milan went away to challenge Viola Fiorentina.

Muntari, Vieira, and Cambiasso are all unable to play. The Nerazzurri are in short supply of midfielders, and Dacote has entered the squad for the first time in a long time.

Maxwell, the left back who has returned from injury, returns to the starting lineup.

As for the forwards, Adriano and Cruz really didn't even make the roster.

It can be seen that Mourinho is indeed very dissatisfied with them, forgetting their poor performance and poor state, and they are still disobedient.

It would be impossible for any head coach to use them again, let alone a madman.

Looking at the home team, Viola, which had a poor start to the season, has recently won four consecutive games and continues to rise in the league rankings.

However, their top scorer Gilardino was suspended for 2 rounds due to the "Hand of God", and Mutu was also absent.

Pazzini and Osvaldo played together as a double forward today.

Inter Milan, wearing their white away jersey, immediately launched an attack after the opening kickoff.

At the Artemio Frenchi Stadium, the Nerazzurri took the lead in controlling the rhythm of the game.

In the fifth minute, Leo got rid of Melo's defense in the middle and passed diagonally to the wing.

Ibrahimovic cut in from the right and passed his left foot through the crotch of Fiorentina left back Pascual.

Balotelli successfully countered offside, turned around on the right side of the penalty area and volleyed from a small angle and hit the crossbar of the goal and bounced off the baseline!
  Leo didn't notice at all the expression on the face of the Brazilian who had just been passed by him.

This summer Viola spent 13 million to buy Brazilian midfielder Melo from La Liga Amelia and received an "honorable" red card in his first Serie A appearance.

The Brazilian quickly endeared himself to the Fiorentina fans with his ferocious foul play.

That's right, such dirty players are often hated by their opponents and loved by their own fans.

More than a minute later, when Leo took the ball against Melo again, the Brazilian had no idea of ​​respecting the old and caring for the young. He fell to the ground with a flying tackle that wanted to cripple the player with bright spikes.

Barely avoiding the vital point but still being knocked down by the opponent, Leo patted his butt and stood up like no one else, and saw the surprise in the eyes of the Florence midfielder.

What's wrong? Surprised you didn't hurt me?

I wrote down this grudge first. Leo just glanced at Melo lightly and then re-entered the game.

Montolivo scored the ball, Santana took the ball with his left foot from the right, Pazzini's header in front of the small penalty area was too right, Cesar did not move and waited.

Prandelli's tactics were very successful. Not only was Leo's ball in the midfield met with a fierce tackle from Melo, Ibrahimovic was also in trouble.

Fiorentina's Italy international Gamberini used man-to-man defense against Ibrahimovic, causing the Swede to perform poorly.

"Ibrahimovic has basically maintained full attendance in recent games. The Swede's physical fitness has reached a limit. Mourinho may give him a rest."

During a breakthrough with the ball, Ibrahimovic staggered and was successfully intercepted by the Viola defender.

The commentary on the Italian sports channel also saw that Ibrahimovic had problems with his physical fitness.

Would Mourinho not know? But who can replace Ibrahimovic at Inter Milan? Who can be replaced if Ibrahimovic is not available?

And it is impossible for Ibrahimovic to take a break and give up playing because of his poor physical condition.

It can only be said that Inter Milan's head coach is not an easy one, and there are problems to be solved one after another.

There was no other way. Mourinho could only go to the sidelines and deliver a message to the court, letting Balotelli stand in front, and Ibrahimovic could retreat appropriately to get the ball.

At this time, Florence had gradually taken back the initiative, and with the cheers of the fans in the audience, they launched an offensive towards the Nerazzurri's goal. Former Turin full-back Comoto made a cross from the right side of the penalty area, and Osvaldo's header from the previous point missed the far post.

Then Kuzmanovic also sent a cross from the right. Osvaldo and Pazzini, who were outflanking the goal, rushed forward one after another without touching the ball!
  Leo and Maicon hit the wall on the right and passed into the penalty area. Ibrahimovic headed the ball over, and Balotelli deflected the ball under the interference of Croldrum.

In the 30th minute, Zanetti passed the ball forward after stealing the ball, and Leo faced Melo again.

The Brazilian smiled slightly at Leo who was holding the ball. The already scary-looking Fiorentina midfielder became even more ferocious in Leo's eyes.

Angrily, Leo lowered his center of gravity. From the corner of his eye, Leo was always observing the positions of other nearby defensive players.

The upper body swayed slightly, and he was not prepared to use this to deceive the home team's experienced defensive midfielder.

Suddenly, a change of direction and acceleration will break through from the left side of Melo!

The Brazilian was not polite either. Seeing that he was about to be beaten cleanly, he decisively tackled from the side and behind.

After being tackled by the opponent, Leo couldn't maintain his balance and fell down. The referee could see it very clearly.

Roberto Rossetti pulled a red card from his pocket, and Melo, who committed a flagrant foul, could not escape the fate of being sent off.

However, the Brazilian fell to the ground for a long time, which aroused the concern of his teammates in Florence.

Melo covered his face in pain, and the home team's doctor rushed into the field.

What is going on here?
  Leo stood on the side with an innocent face, pretending to be concerned and looking at Mello who was checking the injury.

He is not a character who tolerates bullying. Retribution is the code of conduct for young people.

In the breakthrough just now, Leo deliberately wanted to foul Melo. The Inter Milan youngster, who had been prepared for it, just "accidentally" stepped on the opponent's calf with his left foot during the fall.

In fact, it doesn't matter whether Melo was injured or not. He had already been sent off with a red card anyway.

Prandelli frowned, why did the situation suddenly become unfavorable again?

Unfortunately, Fiorentina was forced to make substitutions before the first half was over.

Argentine midfielder Almiron, who was on loan from Juventus, came on as a substitute, replacing forward Osvaldo.

The opponent had one less player to play, and Inter Milan suddenly became much easier to play.

Maxwell made a pass from the left, and Balotelli stopped the ball in the penalty area and hit the goal slightly wide of the right post.

Leo sent a pass from the front of the penalty area, and Ibrahimovic squeezed out the defensive player on the right side of the penalty area and volleyed with his right foot and missed the far post!

"Very good! Press on!"

Mourinho saw that the situation was advantageous and stood on the sidelines to let the players on the field continue to strengthen their offense.

He wanted to take advantage of the fact that the opponent had just had an accident and was in chaos, and scored a goal as soon as possible to break the deadlock.

However, perhaps it was the continuous games that made Inter Milan's players less than optimal, and it was still difficult to score goals despite playing more and less.

Leo knocked horizontally, and Stankovic's long shot from outside the penalty area was blocked by Florence goalkeeper Frey.

Then Inter Milan took a corner kick, and Balotelli overpowered Gamberini's header and missed the goal.

Immediately after Ibrahimovic passed the inverted triangle from the right, Leo made a powerful volley from the edge of the penalty area, and Frey bravely resolved it on the goal line!

Before the end of the first half, Maicon broke through from the right and made a precise long pass. Ibrahimovic made a sudden arrow shot while running and was blocked by the defensive player.

After half the game, the score was still tied at zero to zero.
