On September 30, Serie A ushered in its fifth round.

Inter Milan challenged Cagliari away.

This team from Sicily did not start the season well, with two draws and two losses in the first four rounds, only two points, and they have not met a traditional strong team so far, so such results are not satisfactory.

Cagliari is ready to face Inter Milan at home. The old coach Franco Cologba is also a veteran coach in Italian football. Before the game, he repeatedly told the players to be careful of Inter Milan's attack.

Facts proved that Cologna's judgment was accurate. Gao Han used the skill card from the beginning and launched a snatch away. In the fifth minute, he took the lead in breaking Cagliari's goal with Adriano's goal.

Five minutes later, Pandev, who replaced Cristiano Ronaldo, won another goal, rewriting the score to 2-0.

This score also remained until the end of the game.

Inter Milan took away three-pointers from the away game with two goals in the first ten minutes.

Although the game seems dull most of the time, both the media and the fans are very tolerant of Inter Milan, because in the past month, Inter Milan has played five league rounds and two Champions League games, and there is also a two-week period of national team games.

Such a high-density schedule is indeed a big challenge for Inter Milan, and it is not easy to win.

At least, Milan, who has been chasing Inter since the beginning of the season, drew with Siena at home by zero to zero.

Ancelotti's team is obviously affected by multi-line combat, and there are even vague rumors from the outside world that the thickness of the Milan bench is relatively weak, and eight points were deducted from the League Cup, so Ancelotti and the management agreed that the team will focus on the Champions League, hoping to make another breakthrough.

As for the league, it is all Inter Milan's pocket anyway.

It seems to be to confirm the rumors from the outside world.

After entering October, Serie A was suspended again, ushering in a two-week national team competition period.

But two weeks later, in the sixth round of Serie A, Milan challenged Sampdoria away. Ancelotti did not do his best to keep his strength in the Champions League match against Anderlecht away from home, and ended up dating Sampdoria 1-1 away.

With three consecutive draws, the Ross and Blacks have been falling behind frequently since the beginning of the season, which made many fans feel dissatisfied because Ancelotti and the management have both shouted the slogan to chase Inter Milan, but after only six rounds of battles, the results are only three wins and three draws.

In contrast, Inter Milan defeated Catania 2-0 at home and won six consecutive victories.

Everyone knows that it is difficult for the Red and Black Legion to catch up with the mortal enemy in the city.

But in the third round of the Champions League group stage in the mid-week, Milan defeated Anderlecht 1-0 with Kaka's winning goal away, establishing the leading position in the group.

Inter Milan defeated Moscow Sparta with three-to-zero home games, ranking first in the group with three consecutive wins.

Bayern Munich also quickly got out of the downturn, beating Sporting Lisbon 1-0 away and ranked second in the group.

Roma also defeated Olympiacos 1-0 away in this round, ranking second in the group.

But the most eye-catching performance in this round is Real Madrid.

After Capello's team lost to Lyon 0-2 in the first round, he slaughtered Dynamo Kiev at home 5-1 in the second round, and defeated Bucharest Star again in this round. However, since Lyon also won a big victory every game, Real Madrid could only rank second.

In this round, the most popular focus game, Chelsea took over Stamford Bridge Stadium and defeated Barcelona one-to-zero with Drogba's key win.

In this game, Mourinho fully learned from Gao Han's tactics in the European Super Cup and arranged four King Kongs to form the midfield, firmly suppressing Barcelona, ​​especially Ronaldinho and Messi on both sides, who did nothing.

After the game, Barcelona coach Rijcard said with grace that Chelsea should win.

"Drogba's goal completely changed the game, and the loss made each of us sad, but we should get out of the shadow of Stamford Bridge as soon as possible."

But Rijkaard's evaluation of Chelsea is not high, and he even believes that Chelsea is not as good as last season.

"Our ball possession rate has reached 65%, and our opponents are only 35%. I think this is a good idea. The crux of our current situation is not the overall tactics of the team, but the fact that we have not handled some of the links well."

As for what specific links are, Rijkaard said that he would study it carefully after he went back.

Mourinho refuted on the spot.

"Yes, there is no doubt that this is a wonderful game. The opponent has possession of the ball and even almost beat us at one point, but in the end our tactics worked. I believe that tonight, even the most fanatical and blind Barcelona fans will definitely not deny that we did play better."

"Of course, the premise is that they are honest enough to admit what they think."

At the same time, Mourinho also thanked the referee, "I'm very happy that at the end of the game, we still fight eleven."

This made Rijcard a little embarrassed. The Portuguese madman was obviously hinting that when the referee no longer favors Barcelona, ​​Chelsea could completely defeat his opponent.

Anyone can see that after defeating Barcelona, ​​Mourinho can be said to have put down a big rock in his heart, and his mood is so good that he is very good. He is also very knowledgeable and full of words when facing media inquiries.

Even when the media suggested that Chelsea defeated Barcelona's technical transmission with muscle strength, the Portuguese smiled and said that he was not a believer in a certain type of football, he just wanted to win.

Mourinho seems to be more confident about the team.

"I want to remind everyone that Chelsea is not the best Chelsea right now. I believe that as the season deepens, the strongest Chelsea team will arrive soon, and we will make everyone bow down to their knees."

"Including the high-altitude Inter Milan, Mr. Mourinho?" a reporter asked loudly.

Mourinho was stunned for a moment and nodded immediately, "Of course!"

The media cheered again.

Gao Han didn't even have a counterattack this time for another provocation from Mourinho.

The reason is very simple, the schedule is too intensive.

Two weeks later, Serie A ushered in a row for a week of double matches.

Three days after playing the third round of the Champions League group stage, Udinese was welcomed in the seventh round of Serie A.

After Inter Milan passed the rotation, they defeated their opponents 1-0 away.

Everyone can see that as the season deepens, Inter Milan has to ensure the team's competitiveness in multi-line combat through effective rotation.

This is also the thickness of Inter Milan's bench is strong enough. On the other hand, after playing the Champions League, Milan returned to the Serie A and immediately lost 0-2 to Palermo at San Siro Stadium, and suffered its first defeat in the new season.

It can be said that the thickness of the bench is a fatal injury to the Red and Black Legion.

Three days later, in the eighth round of Serie A, Milan defeated Chievo 1-0 away.

But in this round, Inter Milan made another effort, breaking Livorno, Cannavaro, Matrazi, Ibrahimovic and Cristiano Ronaldo all scored goals one after another.

Weekend, the ninth round of Serie A, Milan Derby.

At the end of October, the air in Milan was filled with a cold winter.

Although he defeated Chivo in the last round, the gap in points between Milan and Inter Milan has widened to 11 points.

It's almost a desperate gap.

Even Ancelotti, who is stubborn, had to admit before the game that Milan only had the chance to retain the chance of winning the championship by defeating his opponent in the Milan derby, but he himself admitted that it was unlikely.

Inter Milan is in such a good condition.

Even in the rotation, Gao Han's team can always find a way to defeat their opponents.

In this game, Ancelotti arranged a relatively rare single forward Christmas tree style, that is, the 4321 formation.

The forwards are Da Inzagi, Kaka and Sidov are cruising behind, and Ambrosini, Pirlo and Gattuso are the three midfielders.

This was also a change in Ancelotti's previous four, three, one and two formations.

Inter Milan, who played away, did not send all the main players. The goalkeeper was Cesar, the defense was Evra, Matrazi, Cordoba and Mecon, and the midfield was Marcisio dragged behind, Stankovic and Yaya Toure were ahead, and the tridents were all out, Cristiano Ronaldo, Ibrahimovic and Adriano were all there.

But in this lineup, Inter Milan got a set-piece opportunity in the frontcourt just 37 seconds into the opening game, but Yaya Toure's header hit the right post and bounced back to the penalty area. Cordoba shot and shot directly.

Gao Han’s strategy is very obvious. He knows that the team’s continuous combat is very physically consumed, so he does not intend to get involved with Milan. He wants to end the battle as soon as possible. From the beginning of the game, he used his skill card to launch a snatch attack.

Two minutes later, Inter Milan won another free kick opportunity.

Gattuso fouled a handball while defending Cristiano Ronaldo and received a yellow card, Adriano took the free kick high.

As a left-footed player, it is indeed not suitable for the situation to take the free kick on the left.

But one minute later, Inter Milan finally scored a goal.

Stankovic passed the diagonally in the middle to the left, Evra quickly inserted, crossed the front point from the bottom, Cristiano Ronaldo quickly inserted, possessed himself and rushed to the top, and pushed the ball into the goal from close range, one to zero.

After that, Inter Milan continued to increase its offensive, especially on the left.

In the seventh minute, Gattuso made another obvious handball foul when he competed with Cristiano Ronaldo for a long pass in the backcourt, but the referee may have only played fouls and did not give cards, considering that he already had a yellow card.

Soon, Milan's left-back Karaze fouled while defending Adriano. Stankovic took a free kick from the right and hurried into the penalty area. Adriano beat his opponent and headed the ball eight meters in front of the goal, rewriting the score to 2-0.

Inter Milan took advantage of the victory and continued to put pressure on Milan.

Especially Yaya Toure, who specializes in grabbing Pirlo's point, made the Italian midfielder very depressed.

In the 22nd minute, Stankovic made a straight pass from the middle, Ibrahimovic took the ball with his back and turned around and passed it across. Maicon gently passed it through and sent the ball to the left. Cristiano Ronaldo quickly penetrated the penalty area and grabbed everyone before he thrust the ball and shot it angrily, scoring again, three to zero!

In the twenty-two minutes, three goals were scored, Inter Milan was unstoppable.

Just when everyone thought the Nerazzurri's offensive was about to be suspended, Milan's front midfielder Seedorf suddenly put a shovel behind his back, and referee Farina gave a yellow card and a verbal warning.

But unexpectedly, two minutes later, there was already a yellow card in his arms. Seidorf, who had obviously lost his calmness, tackled Matrazi in an unnecessary defense.

This time, Farina did not show any mercy and directly gave another yellow card, which turned into a red card, sending Seedorf out of the field.

Head coach Ancelotti was furious and rushed out of the coaching area.
Chapter completed!
