The Prince of Inter Milan starts with Brother Xiaosa

Chapter 90

Five days later, in the sixteenth round of Serie A, Inter Milan faced the challenge of the bottom team Chievo at home.

After suffering consecutive defeats in the European competition, the Nerazzurri's unbeaten streak this season has been broken, and no one dares to take a bite.

Chievo not only did not restrain its hands at Meazza, but instead seemed to want to fight against each other.

Back in the league, Mourinho did not mess around again and formed the most reliable 4,31,2 formation.

Even though the temperature in Milan was approaching freezing, it still did not dampen the enthusiasm of the fans.

For this match against Chievo, more than 50,000 spectators came to Meazza to watch the game.

Today, Inter Milan did not disappoint Nerazzurri who came to cheer for them despite the cold wind.

Less than three minutes into the game, Balotelli hit the ball with his back from the left, and Leo made an accurate pass from the center to the left side of the penalty area.

Maxwell spiked the ball with his left foot near the baseline, turned around and dodged the opponent's defender, and volleyed with his right foot in front of the small penalty area and went straight to the top of the goal!

One to zero!

The home team is off to a dream start!

Five minutes later, Maicon made a pass from the right, and Ibrahimovic tapped back with his heel in the penalty area.

Leo, who suddenly moved forward and got rid of the defense, cleverly pushed his right foot from the penalty spot into the lower right corner of the goal!

Two to zero!
  But thirty seconds later the visiting team responded in kind.

Pellissier received a diagonal pass from the right, stopped the ball, turned around and got rid of the defender laterally, and volleyed with his right foot from the front of the penalty area to score!
  There was nothing Cesar could do about this magical ball. The Brazilian had no choice but to fish the ball out from the goal line.

Of course, conceding the ball also has a lot to do with Inter Milan's full force and neglect of defense.

For neutral fans, games like this with big goals and lots of goals are the best to watch.

However, the Inter Milan fans at the scene were in pain.

"You can't just focus on the offense, you have to pay attention to the defensive end as well!"

"Oh, don't worry, we can definitely score goals. Wouldn't it be better to win against Chievo?"

Marcolini made a direct pass from the front, and Mantovani stepped forward in time to send a low pass from the left.

Bentivoglio's left foot shot into the net!

Meazza fell into a strange silence. The "weak" Chievo evened the score with two goals after falling behind by two goals.

Not only that, Feidian really withstood the pressure and maintained the 2-2 score until the end of the first half.

Only one minute into the second half, Inter Milan took the lead again.

Leo made an extraordinary pass and got rid of Marcolini and went straight to the right side of the penalty area. Maicon crossed at high speed and made a pass.

Ibrahimovic overwhelmed Chievo defender Frei from behind and headed the ball into the far corner!

Three to two!
  Inter Milan takes the lead again!
  The score was leading again, and the Nerazzurri, playing at home, did not give their opponents a chance.

Leo dribbled the ball diagonally through the visiting team's defense and sent a low pass from the right.

Balotelli carried the defender from the front and shot with his right foot!

The ball went in!
  Four to two!
  In the end, Mourinho's team defeated Chievo 4-2 at home and scored three points. Not only did it lead the standings with a 12-point advantage, it also secured the Serie A half-time championship in advance.

“I know it’s Christmas break soon and some of the guys in the team are already distracted.

I was not very satisfied with the performance of some people in this game, so I will keep my spirits up for the next game.

Wouldn't it be better to go home for the holidays after winning the game? "

After the game, Mourinho couldn't help but criticize the team. It was deserved to win, but conceding two goals was unacceptable.

As Christmas approaches, the streets of Milan are already filled with a festive atmosphere.

In the city square in front of Milan Cathedral, a huge Christmas tree has also been put in place.

However, Leo and the others still have one round of Serie A games to play before Christmas. On December 12, the entire Inter Milan team arrived in Siena, the ancient city in Tuscany, where they will usher in the last game before the winter break.

"Brother Dong, I didn't expect to meet you here. Can you still adapt to life in Italy?"

Wang Dong, who was still playing for Manchester United last season, found a connection with Serie A after playing in the Olympics and successfully moved to Siena.

Although he joined the team late, it took him a while to get used to it.

But after nearly half a season, with seven goals and two assists in fifteen starts, Wang Dong has initially won the love of local fans.

“Haha, it’s okay, the weather in Siena is good, there’s plenty of sunshine, which is much better than Manchester.

It’s just that I’m not used to eating. I ate Italian food for the first few days and thought it was okay. All the pizza and pasta were delicious.

I can't stand it after a week. The Chinese restaurants here are not very good and the taste is not authentic. "

"Hahaha, then when you go back to Milan next time, I will take you to my house to eat authentic Chinese food!"

The last time Siena played AC Milan away from home, Leo and the others happened to be going to the away game and they didn't make an appointment, so they had to wait until next time.

There is nothing good to say about Wang Dong's performance on the field. Even "Sports Weekly", which has always been fond of fabricating fake news to smear him, also started to praise him uncharacteristically.

The main reason is that he often scores goals in Serie A, and his performance in the game is obvious to all. No matter how shameless an unscrupulous reporter is, it is hard to forcefully accuse him.

Wang Dong didn't expect that he would be influenced by Leo and decided to change the environment and come to Serie A to try it out. He actually broke into a new world.

Wang Dong's physical condition is excellent, his skills are really not bad after several years of training in Europe, and his tactical execution ability is not to mention.

It doesn't seem too surprising that he can perform so well as the main forward in a lower-tier Serie A team like Siena.

In the away game, Inter Milan, which had an absolute advantage, took control of the situation.

Ibrahimovic's long shot was blocked by the home team goalkeeper Kurci.

Balotelli took a corner kick from the left, and Maicon, who came in from behind, volleyed into the goal with his right leg!
  One to zero!

A goal from Inter Milan’s right back!
  Facing the powerful Nerazzurri, Siena did not give up resistance.

Before the end of the first half, after left back DelGrosso's long shot was blocked, he immediately regained the ball and passed it diagonally into the penalty area.

King Dong got ahead of Maxwell and headed the ball from the edge of the small penalty area into the lower left corner of the goal!

One to one!

Siena evened the score!
  Although Siena's home stadium can only accommodate 15,000 spectators, the enthusiastic home team fans roared loudly after the equalizer.

Listening to the audience shouting "Dong! Dong! Dong!", Leo also felt a little emotional.

Wang Dong has really been recognized by the fans.

Also, as long as you can score goals and help the team, generally who cares where you are from.

Of course, Inter Milan will not be willing to end the schedule before the winter break with a draw.

After the start of the second half, they launched an all-out attack.

In the 75th minute, when Leo dribbled the ball in front of the penalty area, he knocked his heel to Maicon who was advancing forward. Maicon shot past Siena goalkeeper Curci and into the net!
  Two to one!

The Brazilian full-back scored twice to help Inter Milan win away from home for the first time in his career!

The night before this game, the draw ceremony for the Champions League knockout rounds was held at the UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland.

Inter Milan's opponent was the La Liga team Villarreal. Last season's La Liga runner-up was not easy to deal with.

The drama between Mourinho and his old club that was predicted by the media did not happen prematurely.

Instead, Juventus drew Chelsea, and Roma will face another London team, Arsenal.

Leo felt a little regretful about the result of the draw, and thought he would have a chance to return to London.
