Chapter 459 Italian National Derby, Pierrot Region! (Super Large Chapter)(1/3)

Now,

All Italy's eyes were focused on the Italian national derby at 16:30 p.m. Sunday.

Italian national derby.

Many people will wonder why the showdown between Inter Milan and Juventus can be called the Italian national derby. This origin can be traced back to the famous Italian journalist Briella in the 1960s. His remarks elevated the showdown between the two teams to the national level for the first time, to describe the prosperity of Italian football, and to praise the game between the two teams as the most luxurious and intense. Of course, many people will ask why among the three northern top three, AC Milan has no name here, because AC Milan was indeed slightly inferior to Juventus and Inter Milan in the Serie A championship list that year, so the title of Italian national derby continued.

The Italian national derby has never lacked grudges, and even the fans sitting on the sidelines can talk about the two teams' killing each other in a certain year, month and day.

When it comes to the origin of the feud between Juventus and Inter Milan, all this has to start with the match between the two sides in the 1960-1961 season. At that time, Inter Milan had already led Juventus 2:0 in the first half, but due to large-scale conflicts between the fans of both sides, the referee on duty stopped the game and decided to win 2:0. However, what is quite dramatic is that the Italian Football Association chairman Agnelli, who is also the chairman of Juventus club, actively strives to decide to replay that game, which hit Inter Milan. They feel that the penalty is very unreasonable and even an insult.

However, at the order of the Italian Football Association, the Nerazzurri, which had no choice but to appeal, had already missed the league championship, sent a youth team to play in the rematch in anger to protest. However, Juventus did not feel soft-hearted because of the youth team sent by Inter Milan. Instead, it beat Inter Milan 9:1 in one go. Juventus legendary scorer Sivori scored 6 yuan alone, making this game the most goals scored in the national derby history, and also set the largest goal difference record.

Hatred began from that time, getting bigger and bigger...

After entering the 1990s, Juventus started a dominant career with Zidane as the core. However, Inter Milan was crazy about making efforts, but unfortunately became a "star black hole". After Borgkamp was not good at using it, he sent Carlos away in the summer of 1996. Although he introduced a large number of stars such as Zanetti, Ronaldo, Zamorano, Djokaf, etc., and had been vowing to win the Serie A championship, since he was slapped in the face again, Inter Milan lost his energy and watched Juventus glory.

1998 was the closest year for Inter Milan to win the league championship, and it happened to be the year when Inter Milan and Juventus competed for the league championship. The two clashes between the two sides almost determined everything. For more than two years, these two rounds have been the focus of debate among fans. The most famous Serie A "small World Cup" that year once again reached its peak. You can find it just by counting the lineups of Inter Milan and Juventus: Ronaldo, Baggio, Zamorano, Recoba, Sanetti, Bergomi, Simeone, Piero, Inzaggi, Zidane, Davis... It can be said that the match between the Serie A giants that year was the temple in the hearts of fans.

In the first leg, Ronaldo became the hero of Meacha Stadium. After several players, he distributed it to Djokaf. The French star won the game in one go, defeating his national teammate Zidane. The Juventus Gemini combination who was favored before the game was mediocre in this game.

The Italian national derby second leg was already a critical moment for the championship. The situation in the standings made Inter Milan win in this game. Piero took the lead in breaking the goal guarded by Palioca, and then the most controversial scene appeared - Ronaldo entered Juventus' penalty area and was knocked down by Juventus defender, but the referee had no statement. While a number of Inter Milan players were still protesting to the referee, Juventus quickly kicked off and counterattacked, from Zidane to Davis to Piero.

Juventus' counterattack was completed in one go. At this moment, Piero was also knocked down in the penalty area by an angry Inter player, but the referee pointed to the penalty spot without hesitation. The same action, the same fall, the same game was of different scale. This became an unavoidable topic in Serie A history in the future. Although Piero did not score a penalty with huge boos and pressure, the story of the Italian national derby that year in just one round was enough to make people recall.

Although the two sides competed fiercely on the field and there were many stories after the game, the handshake between Piero and Ronaldo also represents an era.

Now, we have entered a new century.

The two teams met again in the league, but the grudges and hatreds remained the same, but many players in both sides were no longer there.

Many players who have not experienced the national derby may not know what the national derby concept is, but whenever they have experienced it, they are hard to calm down when they talk about 1998.

After the last training session, Del Piero still stayed on the court and did not leave. He wanted to practice a little more, but didn't want to go back so early to rest. It was so boring to go home. His mind was full of this afternoon's game, but he didn't know what kind of starting lineup Ancelotti would choose. It seems that Inzagi and Trezeguet are starting! He can only sit on the bench.

Just yesterday, Ancelotti said that he is still one of the most important players in this team, but to maintain a good mentality, he needs to seek a better state.

He has played many substitutes, and this game is probably no exception. Until now, Ancelotti has not announced the starting lineup and has never talked to him. Pierro feels that he is unable to start in the national derby for the first time.

The past two years have really been unsatisfactory. In 1998, he was more glorious than Ronaldo. In 1999, after an injury, he became the prince of penalty kicks. In 2000, he missed two single shots in the European Cup, becoming the sinner of Italy. He returned to the club and took away his main position was the French team's golden ball shooter Trezete.

People are talking about how strong Inzaghi's scoring ability is, how good Trezege's start at Juventus, how good Nedved's performance is, how aggressive Davis is, and Monterodo is dominant...

And when it comes to del Pierro?

"Hey, don't mention him, this guy lost the European Cup. Never mention this person's name to me again."

"Ah~ I remember, why did he replace Baggio?"

"Now at Juventus, he has not contributed anything to Juventus."

...

...

What a cruel fate!

Even some Juventus fans dislike him, although only a part of them...

Alas ~

He sighed, placed the ball in front of the penalty area, and started practicing again. He had no idea that there was a beautiful woman watching him quietly, without any sound throughout the whole process.

That was his girlfriend - Amoruso Sonia. The daughter of the butcher shop owner, the bar collector, the store salesman, all of them are her identity, a beautiful and ordinary woman.

They met in 1999. Pierro, who was recovering from serious injury, went to the store to buy things. In just one encounter, the two fell in love. In the most difficult days, Sonia accompanied him. Now, it is as always.

Finally, Piero's eyes swept to her, and finally, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. No matter how bad the mood was, as long as the woman stood beside him, he would be happy, even if it was only temporary.

He began to pack up and walked towards her.

"Will you go to Milan to watch football in the afternoon?"

"Well, I've made an appointment with my friends."

"oh"

In the dormitory of the Pinetina training base, Zheng Zhi found that Ronaldo was a little abnormal today. He saw Ronaldo holding a guitar on his chest, playing it gently a few times, then looking out the window, and sighing.

"Ronnie?"

"Is this menstruation today? I feel like I'm not in a good mood?"

Zheng Zhi made a joke.

Ronaldo laughed instantly. This joke came too badly. His thoughts were back two years ago. Such a nostalgic atmosphere was destroyed by Zheng Zhi.

"Hey, Zheng, you're so sexy."

"I used to think you were a very serious guy, but later I realized that you are actually more sexy than anyone else. Vieri is a slut, you are a slut."

Ronaldo has long changed his understanding of Zheng Zhi.

Zheng Zhi smiled, "Life always needs a little fun. A life that is too monotonous is really meaningless. To be honest, you can actually play the guitar?"

"When I was young, I wanted to pick up girls, and then I learned it, but I didn't know how to do it at all."

Ronaldo explained.

"Then what are you thinking?"

Ronaldo: "I'm thinking about the game two years ago. If we were a little fairer back then, we might have been the league champion. When I think of the two games with Juventus, I feel very uncomfortable. In fact, more than two games in that year, the two games last year were the same. As long as it was the game with Juventus, I feel uncomfortable all over."

"Oh~" Zheng Zhi nodded, knowing a little about the controversy over 1998 years, who doesn't know.

"Then let's feel comfortable once."

"The past will eventually pass. What we want to change is the present and strive for a better future."

"Well, I have always felt that I was surrounded by demons in the past two years, so I have never had a good time. I hope it will be over."

Ding ~

Ronaldo plucked the strings.

"By the way, there is a guy who has been as miserable as me in the past two years, maybe even worse than me."

"Pierro?" Zheng Zhi guessed.

"How do you know?"

"How come I didn't know that you two were the two most popular Serie A people back then, and then they were injured one after another. No one is worse than you."

"I'm better, at least I've recovered. Now he's called the Prince of Penalty. This name is too insulting."

The Prince of Penalty, in the 99-00 season, Prince Pi scored 9 goals in total, of which 8 were penalty kicks. He was unable to find his form for a long time, and Piero got upset with Inzaji in anger, believing that Inzaji's only husband did not pass the ball, did not know how to cooperate, wasted too many opportunities, and did not respect his partner...

Before that serious injury, Piero was second only to Ronaldo in the world, and even not inferior to Ronaldo. He was elegant and agile, with a sense of dribbling and a sense of smell in front of the goal. He even opened up a zone of his own on the left side of the penalty area, called the Piero area. However, God is jealous of talents, and the major injury is really a devastating blow to the players. The European Cup finals were devastating, and the final performance was a disaster, and the league could only score on penalty kicks. It seems that it is indeed worse than Ronaldo...

“It will be all right,”

"Believe me, everything will be fine."

More than 5,000 Juventus fans arrived at the Meaccha Stadium and wore Juventus' traditional black and white jerseys. Inter Milan fans, who were more crowded, had been waiting here for a long time.

Inter Milan fans at the extreme have begun to take the lead in verbrating.

"Hey,"

"Wait for us to slap!"

"Today we will give you a shameless failure!"

Inter Milan fans won’t believe that they will lose the game. The team is in full swing and can definitely hold Juventus down on the court.

“…”

Juventus fans responded immediately:

“We have 25 league titles!”

“We have 25 league titles!”

What Juventus fans are most proud of is the number of league championships, which is the most exciting thing for Inter Milan fans. Inter Milan fans have not won the league championship in many years? They immediately started yelling:

"Hey, bastard, do you dare to come over?"

"Do you dare to come here?"
