Chapter 173
It was only a goal gap, and the game only passed 20 minutes. The AC Milan players were not impatient at all, and organized the attack step by step.

After the kick-off, Milan midfielder Pirlo sent a penetrating direct pass from the center. Ronaldinho fully demonstrated his technique and spirituality.

However, the ball did not pass out of the danger zone, and then Seedorf's long-range shot from the right was not suppressed and flew into the stands.

In the 29th minute of the first half, Inter Milan had another good chance to score. Maicon sent a precise cross from the right with a short pass from captain Zanetti. Ibrahimovic made a header from 4 meters in front of the goal. The ball hit his upper right arm and bounced into the lower right corner of the goal.

After scoring the goal, Ibrahimovic ignored the teammates behind him and rushed to the sidelines to hug and celebrate with coach Mourinho.

Although Milan goalkeeper Abbiati protested fiercely to the referee that Ibrahimovic had handballed the ball, Rossetti still ruled that the goal was valid.

This penalty made the soldiers of the Rossoneri very dissatisfied. Even Ancenotti went to the fourth official and complained a few words.

While Ibrahimovic was celebrating his goal, the fans of Inter Milan in the stands applauded for the referee's decision.

"Oh, it's not easy for AC Milan to play this time. In the first half, they were [-]-[-] behind. Ancenotti's team seems to be out of shape today."

"Yes, Ancenotti may still wait until halftime to return to the locker room to make some tactical arrangements. The players on the field need to make adjustments first. Now the score is not good for them."

In the 34th minute, Ronaldinho, the midfielder of the Rossoneri, showed off his footwork on the right, dribbling past Inter Milan's left-back Thornton in a fancy way.

The young Inter Milan teenager had no choice but to face Ronaldinho, who had crushed him in all aspects of his technical experience. Facing the Brazilian's fake moves, Thornton fell to the ground with his feet stuttering.

Ronaldinho proudly showed his big rabbit teeth after successfully surpassing others, and then moved to the left with a long pass. Zambrotta then nodded the ball to Seedorf. The Milan midfielder dunked the opposing defender and hit the goal with his left foot 13 meters away from the goal.

"Although AC Milan failed to score this time, Ronaldinho became active in the offense, which is good news for the visiting team."

"Hey, that's right, Kaka is injured. Today's Milan team's offense relies heavily on Ronaldinho's personal performance. Only when he is in good shape can the visiting team have a chance."

Last season, due to injuries and personal life, Ronaldinho was in a very sluggish state in Barcelona. He only played 26 times for the team in various competitions and scored 9 goals.

Then last summer, Ronaldinho transferred from Barcelona to Serie A AC Milan Football Club with a transfer fee of 2100 million euros. Countless fans are also looking forward to this Brazilian genius, former World Footballer and Golden Globe winner, to continue his glory in the Apennine Peninsula.

Seeing his fellow Brazilian show off a wave of maneuvers, Inter Milan right back Maicon was not to be outdone. The Brazilian broke through from the right all the way to the opponent's half. After cutting inside, he directly volleyed with his left foot from 25 meters away from the goal. Unfortunately, it missed the goal frame and missed the left post.

On both sides, you sing and I will appear on the stage. As soon as Inter Milan's offense ended, AC Milan's counterattack came.

Ambrosini responded to Pirlo's precise long pass from the midfielder on the left side of the court, but the Italian rushed too fast due to inertia and couldn't stop the car, and rushed out of the bottom line and almost hit the billboard. Fortunately, he reacted in time and jumped over the billboard.

Inter Milan's goal kick, Cesar kicked the ball to the frontcourt, Muntari controlled the ball in the physical confrontation with Beckham, Zhu Hantao saw the gap between Maldini and Caladze, and stretched out his hand for the ball while starting it.

Cambiasso saw Zhu Hantao's running as soon as he received the pass from Muntari, and sent a direct pass vigorously, penetrating AC Milan's defense.

Zhu Hantao, whose speed had been increased, jumped out from between the opponent's two central defenders like a bolt of lightning. After getting the ball, he took advantage of the situation and rushed forward into the penalty area, a single-handed goal!
Milan goalkeeper Abbiati is still hesitating whether to attack or stay in front of the goal. Zhu Hantao has already circled with his right foot, and the ball hits the far upper corner of the goal.

Behind the goal, the Inter Milan loyalists in the North Stand stood up and cheered for the goal. The linesman raised the flag and the referee blew his whistle. The goal was invalid and offside!

Zhu Hantao was startled, staring in disbelief, walked up to Rossetti, "This is a good shot, it must not be offside!"

The referee was expressionless and signaled to Zhu Hantao not to pester him, as the penalty he had already made could not be changed.

"Zhu Hantao's astute movement! The teammate hits the ball! One-handed! Hit the goal! The goal is scored! Inter Milan leads [-]-[-]!"

"What's going on? Oh, it seems to be offside. The linesman raised the flag. Zhu Hantao looked very frustrated. We will watch the replay immediately if he is not offside. However, Inter Milan's pass-run cooperation just now was played."

"Oh, judging from the replay, it should be a good goal. Zhu Hantao's goal was blown off by the referee just like that."

"Hehe, maybe Zhu Hantao's speed started too fast, so the line referee made a misjudgment. The referee Rossetti believed the line referee's judgment. Even if the ball was offside, it was only a hair's breadth away.

It's no wonder that Zhu Hantao appealed to the referee. He should know that the ball was not offside. "

One minute later, Milan was still attacking by Ronaldinho. The Brazilian rubbed the ball over the top in the middle and passed it into the penalty area. Pato, under the close pressure of Chivu, stopped the ball on the left side of the penalty area and turned around.

It was another long pass from the backcourt to the frontcourt. Stankovic made a low shot with his left foot from a position 35 meters away from the goal outside the penalty area and was caught by the opponent's goalkeeper Abbiati.

"This kick is unreasonable. It was originally a chance for Inter Milan to counterattack, but the position where Stankovic kicked the long shot is very far from the goal, and there is no threat at all."

"Long-range shooting is like this, the goal rate is not high, but once you score a goal, it will be a ground-breaking and morale booster.

The Serb just likes to play far from the goal, this is his characteristic. "

Beckham's iconic 45-degree oblique pass from the right passed into the penalty area. Pato headed back to the point, and Ronaldinho's follow-up shot missed the goal post.

Muntari also wanted to imitate Beckham with a long pass. The midfielder made a long pass from the left to the right. Ibrahimovic headed the ball into the right side of the penalty area in the fight with the opponent's central defender Karadze. Stankovic volleyed with his right foot 10 meters in front of the goal and the ball went into the stands.

The Serbian midfielder held his head in his hands regretfully. It seemed that he couldn't bear to watch it, and even missed such an opportunity.

In the 45th minute, as the first half was coming to an end, Ambrosini knocked down the ball from behind Inter Milan's right-back Maicon who was breaking through the belt. Rossetti finally showed his first yellow card of the game.

Kaka, who was watching the game from the stands, got up early and left the field to return to the locker room. The TV camera specially showed the Brazilian who was injured and unable to play.

"Hey, Kaka left the field early. I wonder if he is not satisfied with his teammates' performance in the first half."

"I think Kaka might be very upset and don't want to continue watching. I think the score would not be like this if I was on the court, hahaha."

Amidst the banter of the commentary, the referee Rossetti blew the whistle to end the first half, and the first half of the Milan derby came to an end, with the score of Inter Milan [-]-[-] and AC Milan temporarily coming to an end.

On the way back to the locker room, Zhu Hantao elbowed Ibrahimovic, "Zlatan, your goal..."

"Hahahaha," Ibrahimovic laughed and was just about to speak. He looked around vigilantly, then covered his mouth with his hand, and said to Zhu Hantao, "The ball actually hit the goal that bounced off my upper arm. Although I didn't intentionally handball it, it's hard to say, hahahaha."

"Then you still go to celebrate the goal with the coach so calmly?"

"This is experience, you know? Otherwise, how can I deceive the referee and convince him that my goal is okay? No matter how fierce the opponent's reaction is, you should celebrate yourself, and you must be calm."

Seemingly reasonable, Zhu Hantao nodded again with a learned expression.

Today's half-time training coach Mourinho is of course impossible to criticize the players. Everyone's performance in the first half can be said to be quite good, and the Portuguese is very satisfied.

"Friends from the audience, welcome back, the focus of the No.20 round of the Serie A league, the second half of the second round of the Milan derby will begin."

"It seems that the two teams have not made substitutions. Is this not good for AC Milan? They are already two goals behind. Didn't Ancenotti make substitutions earlier?"

Players from both sides returned to the field. At the beginning of the second half, Samuel tackled Pato behind his back in defense, and was shown a yellow card by Rossetti.

AC Milan got a chance to set the ball in a good position in the frontcourt, but then Ronaldinho's free kick flew directly and did not pose any threat to Inter Milan's goal.

In the 47th minute of the game, Muntari made a 70-meter long pass from the backcourt. Milan's central defender Karazeka made a mistake. Ibrahimovic went to the meeting after stealing the ball and went into the penalty area.

Oops, Ibrahimovic, who almost scored twice, is so disappointed. As long as the shot just now can be hit within the range of the goal frame, Abbiati must not have time to make a save.

"Not long after the start of the second half, Inter Milan's Ibrahimovic once again threatened the opponent's goal and almost scored. The Swede who missed the goal seemed a little frustrated."

"Hey, if Ibrahimovic scored the goal just now, the suspense of the game will be completely lost. There is still half time, AC Milan has to work harder."

Startled in a cold sweat, the Rossoneri continued to organize the attack.On the right, Zambrotta and Ronaldinho made a two-for-one pass to pass Thornton and then cut in to shoot, but was crushed by Inter Milan goalkeeper Cesar.

Near the middle circle, Cambiasso sent another long pass, and Karadze made another misjudgment. Zhu Hantao broke into the penalty area and couldn't get a shot under Maldini's marking.

After 1 minute, Pirlo split the side, Ronaldinho took the ball on the left, passed the Inter Milan right back Maicon in a one-on-one contest, and before the defending Inter Milan players came up, Ronaldinho kicked the ball out.

The kick came to the goal like a pass and a shot. Seedorf ran a little too far. He barely rubbed his foot lightly and it was considered a kick. Cesar easily got the ball.

In the 52nd minute of the game, AC Milan played an attack with a great chance to score. Ronaldinho kicked the ball from the left side of the court and made a pass. Seedorf broke into the penalty area and volleyed with his right foot 7 meters away from the goal. He missed an excellent opportunity to narrow the gap.

The camera showed Ancenotti on the sidelines and Kaka in the stands again. Both the teacher and the apprentice had a bad look on their faces. Losing to their rivals in the same city without a temper like this is definitely something that every Rosenelli would not want to see.

Muntari was fouled by the referee Rossetti while defending Beckham, and the Rossoneri won a free kick 30 meters away from the goal on the left.

"Let's see if AC Milan can seize this free kick opportunity. Who will take the free kick? Beckham, Pirlo and Ronaldinho are all good free kick players."

"This position is a little far from the goal. It is not suitable for Beckham's curve ball. I guess, Pirlo may take the penalty. It may be better to choose a combination."

Sure enough, it was Pirlo who took the free throw position, but he didn't choose to pass the ball, but he came directly to the goal, and his free kick went directly to the far post.

One minute later, the Rossoneri attacked again. Midfielder Ambrosini broke into the left side of the penalty area after receiving a pass from Beckham, and then collided with Stankovic who returned to his own penalty area to defend him and fell to the ground. The referee Rossetti did not say anything.

This made the Milan players very dissatisfied, but the game continued, Inter Milan's counterattack had hit the frontcourt, and Ambrosini deserved to return to his defensive position quickly.

Not long after, Maicon dribbled the ball inside after breaking through from the right, and was knocked down by the angry Ambrosini. Rossetti stopped the game and awarded Inter Milan a free kick.

Ambrosini couldn't stand it anymore, came to the referee, argued relentlessly, didn't mention this foul, kept talking about the previous penalty, Rossetti ignored him, and directly took out a yellow card to drive him away.

The ball was handed over to Ibrahimovic. The Swede took a free kick 19 meters in front of the goal and bounced back on the opposite wall, followed by a volley shot with his left foot and flew out of the baseline.

In the 7 minutes of the game, Beckham felt a slight muscle injury in his leg and asked for a substitution. Ancenotti had no choice but to make a substitution adjustment. Inzaghi came off the bench to replace the England heartthrob.
