Chapter 880 is out of date!

"AC Milan counterattacks, the ball goes out of bounds, Inter Milan throws in."

"Damian, the 24-year-old right-back was born in AC Milan, but never got a chance. Later, he moved to Padova and Palermo, and performed well in Turin. He moved from Turin to Inter Milan during the winter break last season."

“Because of his outstanding performances at Inter Milan and Torino, he was selected for the Italian national team and participated in the World Cup.”

"Damian threw the ball in from the foul line, it was powerful."

"Pelle and Mexes competed for the header, but neither of them won."

"Rami ran over to clear the ball, but didn't pass it far enough. Pelle grabbed the ball and made a lob pass!"

"Beautiful! Aubameyang, he's so fast, Rami and De Jong can't stop him at all."

"He got the ball, unloaded it, shook off the defender, entered the penalty area, and shot..."

“The ball goes in!!!”

"Aubameyang, a goal from Inter Milan striker Aubameyang!"

"In the sixth minute, just six minutes into the game, Inter Milan took the lead in scoring against AC Milan!"

"It was brilliant. Mexes missed the header and Rami was too careless in clearing the ball, which he actually cleared to Pelle."

"What a great player Pelle, he dribbled the ball past Mex and then passed it behind him, it was brilliant!"

"Aubameyang was very fast. Rami and De Jong, who reacted quickly, couldn't stop him at all. They were defeated by his speed. AC Milan's defense was torn open!"

After scoring the goal, Aubameyang rushed out of the stadium in an instant, muttering to himself along the way.

"The distance was too far and the noise was too loud. We couldn't tell what he was saying. It seemed like he was repeating one sentence over and over again. What was it? Perhaps he was thanking God!"

However, Yang Huan, who was sitting in the Inter Milan fan area in the stands, couldn't help but burst into laughter after seeing the close-up of Aubameyang's mouth shape. Even Fassone, Blanca and others on the side also laughed.

Because they all saw that what Aubameyang was shouting out was actually one million euros!

"This kid is interesting!" Yang Huan pointed at Aubameyang and smiled with satisfaction.

After the team sold Icardi this season, Aubameyang took on the responsibility of the team's main striker and performed quite well, especially with the assistance of Felipe Anderson, Pelle, Morata and De Bruyne. He scored goals like crazy and is currently the top scorer in Inter Milan.

No matter how Klopp adjusts the lineup, Aubameyang always occupies the main position, either as a central striker or as a winger, which shows Klopp's attention and trust in Aubameyang.

Fortunately, Aubameyang did not disappoint Klopp's cultivation and made rapid progress. Whether in the Europa League or in Serie A, he repaid the team and head coach with wonderful goals.

"Yes, this kid is really good. His role in the team is no less than that of Icardi."

"Isn't it?" Blanca also nodded in praise. "Before the season, the fans were skeptical about our decision to sell Icardi, but now, Aubameyang's frequent goals have completely made the fans forget about Icardi."

At this point, the three giants of Inter Milan couldn't help but look at Young Master Huan.

Whether it is Aubameyang, Pelle, or Felipe Anderson, they were all recommended by Master Huan and the Saints' scouting system. They are only responsible for the specific negotiations.

But who could have thought that these players performed mediocrely under Mazzarri's hands, but shined under Klopp's feet.

There is also De Bruyne, the Belgian international who was not trusted and given opportunities under Mourinho at Chelsea, but under Klopp, he has become the core of the team's frontcourt offense, able to shoot wherever he is directed and do almost anything.

But the most convincing person is the head coach Klopp.

Mazzarri's tactics last season were notoriously rigid, and the Italian was very stubborn. He stuck to his own 3-5-2 tactics and didn't know how to adapt, but Klopp was different.

Just like before, Pelle, who was supposed to play as the team's center forward, not only moved to the wing to receive the throw-in, but also retreated deeper than the regular winger Aubameyang.

The result was that Mex was pulled out, and Aubameyang took the opportunity to get to the front.

It was because of this position that Rami made a clearance error and Pelle got the ball and made a direct pass behind him.

Why?

Because he knew very well that Aubameyang's speed was definitely enough to beat Rami.

But the ultimate reason was that after Pelle retreated, AC Milan's defense had to move forward, resulting in a large gap behind them, which was directly exploited by the fast-paced Aubameyang.

With a goal in hand, Inter Milan played more calmly, but AC Milan had to choose to press forward and attack.

But although the Nerazzurri were playing away, they were not weak at all. Instead, they fought back hard against AC Milan.

Inzaghi's AC Milan adopted a 4-3-3 formation and deployed three defensive midfielders in the midfield, with the aim of protecting the defense line.

Whether it was Montolivo, De Jong, or Poli, they were always cruising in front of the defense line, not daring to press too far forward to avoid lengthening the distance and being exploited by Inter Milan again.

However, their three attacking players, El Shaarawy, Menez and Bonaventura, were determined not to retreat and always held up Inter Milan's defense in order to facilitate a quick counterattack.

But because of this, AC Milan's midfield and backcourt are somewhat disconnected from the frontcourt, which allows Inter Milan to have enough time to control the ball, but Klopp also remains vigilant enough on the two wings of AC Milan. Whether it is Alex Sandro or Damian on the right, they always take a defensive stance and are cautious.

As for the frontcourt attack, Inter Milan is more centered on De Bruyne. The Belgian controls the tempo of the game and the team's offensive direction, and then uses the repeated impacts and pulls of Pelle and Aubameyang in front to tear open AC Milan's defense.

Therefore, when they were one goal behind and playing at home, AC Milan tried to press forward but soon realized that it was not working, especially after two threatening shots by Pelle and Felipe Anderson. Inzaghi took a defensive stance again and slowly waited for his chance.

But Klopp quickly made adjustments.

Seeing that AC Milan's three defensive midfielders were positioned farther back and gave up possession of the ball in the midfield, Klopp signaled the two defensive midfielders to press forward, actively create pressure, share the defensive pressure with De Bruyne, and actively send the ball into the penalty area with a half-high pass behind the defense line.

Yang Huan was in the stands, and when he saw the team's offense improving again, he couldn't help but shake his head.

How does the saying go?

"Inzaghi is a very good player, but as a head coach, he is still too green!"

Little do people know that today's football is completely different from what it was a few years ago.

Let's not talk about whether AC Milan's current lineup is suitable for a 4-3-3 formation. Even if they really want to play a 4-3-3 formation, adopting a three-defensive-midfielder tactic and giving up midfield possession is itself a controversial choice.

Does that mean they want to continue learning from Mourinho's approach when Inter Milan played against Barcelona?

Should I stay within my own 30-meter area, let you control the ball, and then I’ll wait for an opportunity to counterattack you?

Such routines and concepts are long outdated!

Because of the football tactics in recent years, overall pressure and pressing in the midfield and frontcourt have become indispensable.

As soon as Khedira and Alan came on, De Bruyne immediately let go and became more active in the midfield and frontcourt, frequently making runs and even breaking through with the ball relying on his personal ability.

As soon as De Bruyne showed his strength, Inzaghi had to further shrink his defense line. AC Milan changed from its original defensive strategy to a desperate defense, and even maintained a configuration of six defensive players at all times in the front area of ​​the penalty area.

But even so, De Bruyne quickly seized an opportunity in this area.

Inter Milan launched an attack, Damian tried to pass the ball to Pelle, but was intercepted by Mex.

But when the ball was about to be passed to Montolivo, Khedira suddenly rushed forward, intercepted the ball, and passed it to De Bruyne.

The Belgian international faced De Jong, dribbled past him, then dribbled the ball to the front of the penalty area and made a precise through pass between Rami and Mex.

"Aubameyang, Aubameyang again!"

“The ball goes in!!”

"A beautiful shot, 2-0!"

"With a precise through ball from De Bruyne, Aubameyang scored his second goal of the game!"

"This Gabonese international, who once played for AC Milan's youth training camp, joined Dijon, Lille, Monaco and Saint-Etienne successively. Later, he made his mark in Monaco and transferred to Inter Milan, becoming the most eye-catching scorer in Serie A this season!"

The live TV camera also turned to Galliani in the presidential stand.

"I don't know what Galliani was feeling at the moment. First there was Damian at right back, then there was Aubameyang at forward. These two players with a Rossoneri background wore Nerazzurri clothes in this game and performed well."

"Now the situation has become more unfavorable for AC Milan."

"It seems that Inzaghi has run out of effective solutions. At this time, as the head coach, he should come up with ideas and tell the players what to do!"

"On the other hand, Klopp, the flamboyant German coach, kept waving at the players, signaling them to continue to press forward..."

"Uh... by the way, he made a one-sign gesture, what does that mean?"

"One, what does this mean?"

I'm afraid only Yang Huan and others in the stands and Inter Milan players on the field can understand it.

What Klopp really meant by this "one" is, guys, let's fight for the one million euro bonus!

Don't give AC Milan any chance to breathe, fight hard, fight to the death!

After scoring two goals, the Inter Milan players on the field did not disappoint. They did not relax at all and continued to attack AC Milan's defense relentlessly, as if they were going to massacre AC Milan at the San Siro Stadium.

In fact, Inter Milan did seize the opportunity again before the end of the first half.

Felipe Anderson's forced breakthrough on the left caused Abate to foul and was shown a yellow card.

De Bruyne was naturally the first penalty taker, and when dealing with the free kick which was not in an ideal position, he did not hesitate at all and directly kicked a curved ball.

The ball just bypassed the leaping wall of people, drew a beautiful arc, and went into the upper right corner of the goal before goalkeeper Diego Lopez pounced.

This is an absolute blind spot!

Thanks to this goal, Inter Milan took a 3-0 lead in the first half.

It can almost be said that this derby was won in advance!
