Juventus and Genoa won this round, putting pressure on their rivals Inter Milan and Fiorentina respectively.

"Good evening, audience friends, I'm Liu Jianhong."

"I'm Zhang Lu."

"Inter Milan was eliminated by the defending champions in the Champions League in the middle of the week, and returned to Milan at the weekend, sitting at home, and ushered in the game against Fiorentina.

The current wish of the soldiers of the Nerazzurri is probably to win the league championship as soon as possible.

自从2000年5月在客场4比0大胜国际米兰以来，紫百合在梅阿查已经是6连败。

This game was captain Zanetti's 634th appearance on behalf of Inter Milan, tying the club record held by the legendary left-back Facchetti, and Cambiasso's 200th appearance for the Nerazzurri.

However, this game is also very important for Viola. Roma and Genoa are fiercely competing with Fiorentina for the fourth place in the standings. If they can grab points from the top of the standings in an away game, it will definitely boost the morale of the team.

In the first round of the ninth round of Serie A this season, Inter Milan defeated Fiorentina 9-[-] away.

两队在意甲联赛历史上共交战140场，国际米兰队56胜46平38负占据绝对优势，进213球失176球。其中主场39胜18平13负完全占据优势，进134球失74球。”

"The chairman of the Inter Milan club, Moratti, spends a lot of money to improve the team, but Mourinho's team still has nothing to do in the Champions League.

Our young player Zhu Hantao also ended his first trip to the Champions League. "

"Zhu Hantao's performance is still good. He still played normally and scored goals against a strong team like Manchester United."

"hey-hey."

"Okay, let's look at today's game, Mourinho replaced two starters, Chivu returned from injury and played central defender, Muntari returned to the starting list to replace Vieira.

Inter Milan's starting formation for this game is 4-3-1-2, goalkeeper Cesar, defenders Maicon, Samuel, Chivu and Thornton.

Midfielders Zanetti, Cambiasso and Muntari are at the back, Stankovic is at the front, and the striker is still Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Zhu Hantao. "

"Inter Milan just experienced a fierce battle a few days ago. Today, I don't know if they will return to their home court and return to the familiar Serie A arena. Will they be able to rebound from the bottom and win their opponents in one fell swoop."

"Fiorentina's central defender Dainelli is suspended, Prandelli forms a 4-1-3-2 formation, Jorgensen plays the defensive midfielder, and wears the captain's armband. Gilardino and Mutu form the front line behind Zhu Hantao and Ibrahimovic in the scorer list.

The specific starting 11 people are goalkeeper Frey, right back Komoto, center backs Gamberini and Kroldrup, left back Vargas, midfielders Jorgensen, Kuzmanovic, Melo and Montolivo.

Gilardino and Mutu form a double arrow. "

"Hey, we can see that the home team Inter Milan is wearing a white centennial celebration jersey, while Fiorentina is wearing an all-red away jersey, which is completely different from their classic purple jersey that everyone is familiar with."

"Okay, the game has officially started!"

After Fiorentina kicked off, the ball was hoisted outside the penalty area with a big foot, and the ball was controlled by the Inter Milan defender.

Inter Milan took the ball in the midfielder Maicon and gave the ball to Zhu Hantao with a long pass. Then he dribbled the ball outside the penalty area and broke through.

Zhu Hantao walked towards the referee Daniel Osato with a puzzled face, shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, pinching the five fingers of both hands upwards, with the backs of the hands facing outwards, and putting both hands together in front of him, expressing that he was very wronged.

Orsato shook his head. If I said you fouled, you fouled. It is useless to say anything else.

Fiorentina breaks along the right flank, Muntari's back tackle is fouled, and Viola gets a set-piece in the frontcourt.

Jorgensen quickly took a free kick and passed the ball diagonally into the penalty area, which was cleared by Inter Milan defender Chivu with a header.

"Inter Milan's pass in the midfield was not smooth enough after the opening, and there were many mistakes."

Fiorentina midfielder Montolivo sent a direct pass to the back of the defender, and the linesman immediately raised the flag to indicate that Mutu was offside.

In the 8th minute of the opening, Stankovic received a cross from Maicon and turned around on the edge of the penalty area with a low shot without strength. Fiorentina goalkeeper Frey got the ball.

"The two sides fought very aggressively after the opening game today, Fiorentina, who played away, was very active, and Inter Milan, who played against the guest, was out of breath.

The Fiorentina midfielder once again sent a through pass, and Gilardino, who responded, was already in an offside position.

Inter Milan's counterattack was stopped by the opponent before hitting the frontcourt. Inter Milan has not yet organized an effective attack.

Fiorentina, wearing a red uniform, pressed the frontcourt, and Inter Milan mostly defended passively. "

An attack by Viola 2 minutes later almost broke the goal. Gilardino made a ground pass from the right. Mutu stopped the ball with his left foot and broke into the penalty area. His right foot shovel shot 11 meters in front of the goal was blocked by Cesar's legs.

Just 1 minute after the Inter Milan goalkeeper made a rescue, Inter Milan took the lead. Muntari was brought down by Melo, and Inter Milan had a free kick opportunity.

Since this position is not very good, Florence was not too vigilant. Zhu Hantao took a free kick near the left sideline and drove the ball directly into the penalty area.

Ibrahimovic volleyed with his right foot in front of the goal and missed the ball, but Viola goalkeeper Frey hit the ball with both fists and hit Ibrahimovic again. Ibrahimovic subconsciously shook his head and attacked the goal 6 meters in front of the goal.

"Eh? This goal? Go in! Ibrahimovic's goal! The Swede broke the deadlock on the field, and Inter Milan scored first!" The host didn't know what to say about the goal for a while.

"Hehe, Frey was too nervous and made a mistake. As a goalkeeper who has played for Fiorentina for many years, this mistake is not right. He actually returned the ball to Ibrahimovic."

Ibrahimovic looked happy after scoring the goal. This goal also boosted the morale of Inter Milan, and the whole team swept away the bitterness of the Champions League defeat.

Mourinho didn't celebrate much, sitting on the sidelines as if he had a well-thought-out plan.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic hugged his little brother Zhu Hantao aggressively under the stands. More than 5 fans who came to San Siro today gave warm applause to the Swede.

In the 14th minute, Fiorentina midfielder Melo sent a header. Gilardino broke into the left side of the penalty area and stabbed 9 meters in front of the goal. Cesar blocked the near post.

Zhu Hantao volleyed vigorously with his right foot from outside the penalty area, and was saved by Frey from the bottom line. Inter Milan's corner kick.

Chivu took a corner kick from the right, and Samuel hit Gamberini with a header 10 meters from the goal. He changed direction and went straight to the near corner. Viola's goalkeeper Frey fell to the ground and confiscated the ball.

Inter Milan continued to hold the ball in the frontcourt. Stankovic sought cooperation with his teammates in the middle, but the ball was intercepted by Viola central defender Kroldrup.

Fiorentina quickly counterattacked after stealing the ball from the backcourt. After receiving the pass from his teammate, Comotto made a cross from the right side to the bottom line. Gilardino outflanked the ball in the middle but missed the ball.

Stankovic then got another excellent opportunity to almost expand the score. The Serbian took the ball in the right rib and turned around to cooperate with Ibrahimovic.

"Stankovic's long-range shot! Oops, it hit the goal post and went out of the baseline!"

"Inter Milan missed the chance to open the score."

Zhu Hantao dribbled the ball diagonally and passed it back. Ibrahimovic volleyed with his left foot from the outside of the penalty area.

Fiorentina was not without chances, and they quickly retaliated. It was Comotto's cross from the right, and Melo went in from the penalty spot and was confiscated by Cesar.

"After more than 30 minutes in the first half, Inter Milan gradually took the initiative on the field after scoring a goal. However, the visiting team also created some opportunities. The two sides played very excitingly, but only one goal from Ibrahimovic helped the home team temporarily lead the opponent [-]-[-]."

Cambiasso sent a direct pass, Zhu Hantao drove the ball to the left side of the penalty area, and Fiorentina midfielder Jorgensen fouled him from behind and brought him down.

Jorgensen was shown a yellow card by the referee, and then Ibrahimovic's free kick flew directly into the stands.

Maicon made a long pass from the instep from the right, and Ibrahimovic performed a "scorpion wagging" pass from the front of the penalty area. Unfortunately, Zhu Hantao, who stepped forward to respond, was a little slower.

Zanetti fouled Melo during the defense, and then Fiorentina full-back Vargas took a free kick 27 meters in front of the goal and hit teammate Kuzmanovic, who turned around and volleyed 17 meters in front of the goal.

"Fiorentina's offensive is quite fierce, they have formed a threat in front of Inter Milan several times, and the young player Thornton's defensive pressure on the left is very heavy.

However, today Inter Milan pays great attention to the competition for the first point, which is also an important reason why Fiorentina has not been able to score a goal so far. "

After 1 minute, Vargas made a pass from the left. Gilardino leaned on the defender and shot from the outside of the instep 12 meters in front of the goal, but Cesar single-handedly lifted the crossbar.

Stankovice took the ball in the middle and handed it to Ibrahimovic, who passed it straight to Muntari in the arc of the penalty area, and the ball was lost.Muntari complained to the referee that the opponent pushed him, but the referee signaled the game to continue.

Samuel hooked Gilardino from behind and was shown a yellow card by the referee Osato.

Before the end of the first half, Samuel destroyed Mutu's pass out of the penalty area, and Jorgensen followed up with a strong volley from outside the penalty area 30 meters away from the goal and swept across the crossbar.

Inter Milan goalkeeper Cesar was frightened into a cold sweat.

Back from the intermission, the two sides changed sides and fought again.

"The leading Inter Milan took the lead in making substitution adjustments. Mourinho replaced Chivu with Figo, and Cambiasso switched to central defender."

At the beginning of the second half, Fiorentina completed a goal. Kuzmanovic made a cross from the right, and Melo nodded the ball wide.

In the 49th minute, Melo fouled Ibrahimovic and was given a yellow card.

Then Muntari also received a yellow card for uprooting Kuzmanovic, and Mourinho protested on the sidelines.

Before Fiorentina hit Inter Milan's restricted area, Cambiasso's clearance was not clean, and Montolivo volleyed from 27 meters in front of the goal, but Cesar struggled to support the crossbar.

Vargas took a corner kick on the left, and Mutu's header was not a big threat and Cesar easily got it.

Zhu Hantao, who was eager to score a goal, cooperated with Thornton on the left side and tried two-on-one. Thornton accidentally slipped and returned the ball to Frey after taking the ball in front of the penalty area.

In the 62nd minute of the game, Komoto quickly counterattacked with the ball in the backcourt, and was knocked over by Thornton's studs. The referee Orsato did not interrupt the game based on the principle of advantage, and then Melo made a long-distance attack.

Komoto went to the sidelines to receive treatment from the team doctor and returned to the court, still saying something to Thornton, and he lifted his jersey to reveal the bloodstains on his ribs from the spikes.

"Oh, Thornton's action just now was too big, it was a card-eating action."

Maicon made a one-stop breakthrough from the right and cut into the penalty area, then volleyed from a small angle, and the ball hit the side netting.

In the 71st minute, Melo knocked down Thornton and shot. Inter Milan goalkeeper Cesar rushed out of the penalty area to protest and received a yellow card.

Zhu Hantao dribbled the ball forward from the left. Seeing Ibrahimovic asking for the ball in front, he sent a pick pass. Ibrahimovic got the ball with his back in the penalty area and fell to the ground in a physical confrontation with Kroldrup. The Swede hugged his right ankle with a painful expression.

Although Inter Milan was very dissatisfied, there was no way, and the game continued.

Fiorentina, who were behind in the score, made substitution adjustments. Prandelli replaced Kuzmanovic with Jovetic one after another, and Donadyer replaced Jorgensen.

Jovetic and Mutu cooperated in the frontcourt and knocked horizontally one after another. Donadell, who had just appeared on the field, volleyed vigorously from his instep 27 meters in front of the goal, causing Cesar to drop his hand. Fortunately, Samuel flew to the baseline in time, and Cesar hugged Samuel tightly to express his gratitude.

In the 805th minute of the game, both sides had used up all their substitutions. Mourinho replaced Zhu Hantao with Mancini Jr., central defender Rivas replaced Stankovic, and Cambiasso returned to midfield.On the Fiorentina side, Bonazzoli replaced Montolivo.

Continuous high-intensity battles, as a young player, Zhu Hantao's physical condition is indeed slightly weaker than other teammates. The head coach asked him to leave the game early to rest out of his protection.
