In the 24th round of Serie A, the much-anticipated Milan derby explained to us what is the highest level of competition in Serie A, AC Milan conceded one goal first, and in the second half, two consecutive cities were defeated by Inter Milan in a 2-1 comeback.
At the beginning of the game, the head coaches of the two teams began to fight wits.
AC Milan coach Pioli pushed Casey to the front waist, hoping that Casey's strong body can help Milan turn the tide in the front, and the double back let Bernacell and Tonaly, two more technical midfielders, try to help AC Milan complete the connection of the midfield and make the ball more fluent.
Inter Milan head coach Inzaghi Jr. hoarded the midfield, began to strangle AC Milan's double back from midfield, using his physical advantages to defend the top, so that Tonari and Benasser could not comfortably hold the ball; for Casey, he tried his best to press closely, so that he could not turn smoothly, forming an effective advance, Casey played the front waist, the position was too rigid, and was completely blocked by Inter to catch the ball and respond to the line.
Moreover, in the first half of Inter Milan, the two sides played more actively, and Dumfries suppressed Leo in the backfield, making it difficult to form a threat of forward assists; Perisic also repeatedly rushed on the other side, making Milan players afraid to move forward.
In this way, Pioli's wishful thinking was completely overturned, originally AC Milan wanted to seize the opportunity through the oppressive play, but the result was that Inter limited the front and back of the midfield were somewhat disjointed, the two backs although in the middle of the road could not smoothly push the ball further, and the back line was afraid of Inter's counterattack speed and the distance between the midfield.
The tactically failed Milan were somewhat confused, frequently counter-attacked by Inter's broken balls in midfield, and if it were not for the help of goalkeeper Mégnan, AC Milan would have been beaten in the first half.
It is worth mentioning that Inter veteran Perisic once again showed us what is called the sword of immortality.
Dumfries on the right caused a lot of trouble for AC Milan, but also wasted excellent scoring opportunities, while Perisic not only almost delivered an assist (was blown offside), but also personally played at the key moment to help Inter open the record and let Inter's advantage develop in the direction of victory.
Unfortunately, Inter failed to extend their lead further, and the game was 90 minutes instead of 45 minutes.
In the second half, the situation on the field suddenly changed, ac Milan finally realized the idea of a large army pressure, thanks to Pioli's rapid two personnel adjustments according to the situation on the field, Messias came out to increase the frontcourt confrontation point; removed Casey, replaced Díaz, and increased the ability to play in the front court.
These two changes are very interesting, Pioli moved Milan's confrontation point forward, replaced by another technical point in the front waist position, so that the entire midfield can be seamlessly connected, coupled with the fact that Inter's physical fitness has also declined, and it cannot form the same strong force against Milan in the first half, and ac Milan's midfield has suddenly become alive.
Pioli envisioned an increase in hardness in the front, pressure on inter formations, a midfielder who flows players to control the perimeter, and the strategy of repeated pressure on Inter, because of two very targeted substitution adjustments, was perfectly implemented, the feng shui took turns, and the second half became the world of Milan.
Interestingly, the one who helped Milan turn their advantages into victory and finally achieve a score reversal was also a veteran, the two goals of the big Olivier Giroud gold, which made Milan's counterattack in the second half more meaningful.
Whether it is grabbing a point in front of the goal, or relying on the opponent's defender to turn around and shoot, there is no doubt that Olivier Giroud is still the top center in Serie A, not to mention that he has fought and fought with Inter defenders again and again in the front.
Olivier Giroud is also a hero, and AC Milan also played a good half-time goal, but it was more efficient!
The two veterans of the Sabre (Perisic) and Giroud both made a great show for us, and Pioli and Inzaghi Jr. also told us from the platoon to tell us what is the highest level of duel in Serie A.
Regardless of the results, it was a very wonderful game, there are many things worth pondering, what is restraint and anti-restraint, which is vividly reflected in this game, and the two teams have completely different performances in the upper and lower halves, and it also reflects the on-the-spot adaptability of a good head coach.
This game, the pace is bright, the rise of Milan's two males, it seems to let us see the return of the Serie A boom, but at the critical moment, the veteran who still relies on the sword is not old, indicating that Serie A is still far from the real return of the world.
