The Prince of Inter Milan starts with Brother Xiaosa

Chapter 93 Who is the "True Blue and Black"

"Three wishes, fulfilled at once!"

With Leo's smile, the sales of Kinder Fun Eggs first ushered in a wave of growth in Lombardy.

At the same time, this trend has also spread throughout the Apennine Peninsula with the influence of Inter Milan.

Not only Kinder, but also as other advertisements have been put on TV and online, more and more people other than fans have gotten to know this sunny and handsome young man.

Even the business of Li's restaurant has been booming these days, and it is full every day. Dad Li had to temporarily add three more tables.

Serie A has only been played for half a season, and Leo already looks like a big star.

"Mom and Dad, don't tire yourself out. In the worst case, you'll transfer the store. You two just have a vacation to travel and relax."

After making money, the first thing Leo thought of was his parents.

Father Li and Mother Li have hardly had any rest for more than ten years, and they are getting older. Of course, Leo hopes that they can put down their work and enjoy life.

"What are you talking about? This restaurant is the hard work of your father and I. Just play your ball well.

We don't have to worry about you! "

Alas, there is no other way. We still have to work hard to strive for wealth and freedom as soon as possible.

At that time, even if parents were not willing, they had to "force" them to stop working so hard and let them enjoy happiness.

At 1 pm on Sunday, January 18, the last game of the first half of the Serie A season, Inter Milan went away to face Atlanta.

Atlanta is located in the neighboring city of Bergamo, northeast of Milan.

Today's temperature is a little better than before, but it is raining lightly in Bergamo.

The rain wet the turf of the stadium, and also wetted the players' hair and jerseys.

What Mourinho didn't want to see happened. Samuel suddenly suffered from the flu before the game and returned to Milan early.

Without Samuel, the backbone of the defense, Inter Milan's defense is worrying.

Although Atlanta's record this season is mediocre, they performed pretty well at their home court.

Atalanta has only conceded seven goals at home since the beginning of the season. I wonder if they can withstand the Nerazzurri's offense today.

After the start of the first half, Atlanta, playing at home, started a fast-paced attack.

In the third minute, the home team's midfielder Guarente passed the ball, and Ferreira Pinto's long shot from the left missed.

Four minutes later, Cordoba's header in the penalty area was not far away. Doni turned around on the left and fired a volley that missed the near post.

Then Atlanta threatened again, and Guarente passed straight to the right.

Floccari dribbled the ball inward and dunked past Burdisso, who was slipping under his feet. His left-footed low shot towards the goalkeeper in front of the penalty area slid off the baseline on the right post.

Mourinho's team was beaten by the home team at the Italian Blue Stadium!
  Leo wiped his forehead with the rain mixed with sweat. The surface of the ball was so wet that his control of the ball was not as accurate as usual.

In the 18th minute, Manfredini passed a long free kick. Burdisso and Maxwell were not tight, and Italian midfielder Doni passed the ball with his back to the right side of the penalty area!
  Floccari stopped the ball with his right foot in the middle of the penalty area, turned around, and shot a low shot with his left foot into the lower right corner of the goal!

One to zero!
  Atlanta leads Inter Milan 1-0 at home!

The home team fans in the stands cheered and shouted excitedly, and even unfurled a banner saying "We are the true blue and black".

Mourinho frowned. He knew that Samuel's absence would have an impact on the team's defense, but he did not expect to concede the ball so easily.

Leo glanced at his two forward teammates, are you two willing to be upstaged by Floccari like this?
  You must know that this is a third-rate forward whose number of goals in a single season in Serie A and Serie B can only be maintained in single digits. The rain has stopped and it’s time to stand up.

Leo received a pass from his teammate in the middle and drove the ball forward.

Atlanta midfielder Padoin stepped forward to press, and Leo elegantly passed his opponent with a Marseille maneuver.

Continuing to bring the ball to the front of the penalty area, Leo slowed down and waited for his teammates to get in position.

In the 25th minute, Leo passed the ball from the top of the penalty area, and Ibrahimovic relied on the opponent's central defender Manfredini to force the goal!
  One to one!

Inter Milan equalized the score!
  However, just three minutes later, Cordoba's handball outside the penalty area gave the home team a good free kick opportunity.

Doni took a free kick 26 meters away from the goal on the left side. Ibrahimovic in the wall used his hands in front of himself to protect his face.

The free kick taken by the Atlanta midfielder hit Ibrahimovic's arm, bounced off the ground, deceived Inter Milan goalkeeper Cesar and drilled into the far corner of the goal!

Two to one!
  The home team scored an incredible goal to take the lead again!
  Mourinho looked a little confused on the sidelines.

The Nerazzurri, who were lagging behind again, launched an all-out offensive.

Maxwell made a long pass from the left, Ibrahimovic headed the ball from the front of the penalty area, and Balotelli volleyed over the crossbar from a small angle near the far post.

Soon after, Maicon's left corner kick almost went directly into the goal. Atlanta goalkeeper Coppola struggled to lift the ball over the crossbar.

In the stoppage time of the first half, there was a fierce physical confrontation between Ibrahimovic and the opponent's defensive player during the scramble, which almost led to a conflict.

After the referee Rizzoli blew the whistle to end the half, Ibrahimovic ran over and complained to him.

As a result, the Swede successfully applied for a yellow card during the halftime period.

Ibrahimovic was so angry that he had no way to vent his anger, and he didn't know why he was so unlucky today.

"Zlatan, calm down, we can just come back in the second half!"

Ibrahimovic's face brightened slightly under Leo's comfort. He didn't say anything but nodded vigorously.

When Mourinho saw this scene, a smile appeared on his originally gloomy face.

"Maybe this kid is still a captain's seed."

In the visiting team's locker room, knowing that the head coach was about to lecture, all the players fell silent.

“I am very dissatisfied with your performance in the first half, especially the defense, which was too unfocused!
  I don’t want to go back to Milan with a humiliating defeat, show me some real skills in the second half! "

At the beginning of the second half, the sky cleared and the sun came out.

Leo changed into a clean jersey, and his movements were much calmer than in the first half.

With a precise pass from the frontcourt, Balotelli got rid of the defender and pushed the ball with his right foot in front of the penalty spot to score!
  Two to two!
  Inter Milan equalized the score right at the start of the second half!
  The home team was not willing to give in. Atlanta coach Delneri replaced the goal hero Floccari with former Inter Milan star Vieri.

Vieri's first touch as a substitute was called offside, giving the Nerazzurri a chance to counterattack quickly!

Leo made a 45-degree diagonal pass from the right into the penalty area.

Balotelli beat the Atlanta central defender and headed the ball to the back post. Ibrahimovic's shot was saved by Coppola and he immediately followed up and hit the net!

Three to two!
  Inter Milan overtook the score!
  In the end, Mourinho's team withstood the pressure in an extremely unfavorable situation and defeated Atlanta 3-2 away from home, completing the reversal.
