Chapter 351 Inter Milan with no way out!

On March 3, amid the controversy from the outside world, Inter Milan ushered in its 27th Serie A game of the season. Their opponent was Livorno. On March 6, the third day after the match against Livorno, they were going to Valencia to play a life-and-death battle in the quarterfinals of the Champions League away.

The devil's schedule is intensive, and every game is important. Serie A cannot lose, and the Champions League must defeat Valencia away to advance to the quarterfinals.

At 4:00 p.m. on March 3, Livorno's home court Aldo Spineli Stadium was still not very crowded, and the attendance rate was only 30%.

Logically speaking, the most important thing is the life-and-death battle in the Champions League three days later. Mancini should let some of the main players sit on the bench. However, unexpectedly, Mancini sent all the main players.

No one knows the reason, and someone analyzes it later. This may come from three reasons. On the one hand, the draw with Udinese at home in the last game was criticized by the outside world. Inter Milan needs a victory to save face. On the other hand, even if they cannot make a breakthrough in the Champions League, people can understand it, but if they lose the Serie A championship, Inter Milan will be very embarrassed.

The third reason is that Mancini is not optimistic about his team and can win the life-and-death battle with Valencia. This season, Valencia bought former Betis Spanish international Joaquin. Vicente and Joaquin, the two major Spanish side wing players, have been taken to the account by Valencia. In addition, Morientes, del Orno, Tavano and Valencia have set their goal for this season as the La Liga championship.

Until now, they have only bit Real Madrid and Barcelona and ranked third in the standings. They are strong, otherwise they would not have been able to draw with Inter Milan on the away game with a score of 2-2.

So Mancini has focused on the Serie A game. With a huge advantage of fifteen points, he lost the Serie A championship. Even if Mancini resigns, he cannot resolve the anger of the fans. He will definitely be nailed to the list of shame and become the laughing stock of the world!

...

At four o'clock, the competition begins on time!

Perhaps because of the lessons learned from the last game, Inter Milan did not rush to launch a fierce attack on Livorno after the game began. They advanced in an orderly manner, and the distance between the lines was well maintained. Within a range of ten to fifteen meters, Chivo seemed to be inspired by Udinese in the last game. Their attack was even more fierce than Inter Milan in the first fifteen minutes.

Inter Milan's patience was rewarded in the second half. In the 17th minute of the second half, captain Zanetti assisted on the left, passing the ball to the middle with one kick, and Ibrahimovic shot with his foot. The Chivo goalkeeper saved the ball out of the penalty area. Stakovic took two steps forward and made a follow-up shot!

Football flew from the left side of the goal to score the goal net, Inter Milan led 1-0. The game started over and Livorno took advantage of a corner kick opportunity to tie the score with the header of forward Bendivorio.

After being equalized by the opponent, Inter Milan was still not impatient and launched an orderly attack on Livorno under the leadership of Peron. In the 30th minute of the second half, Vieira inserted into the back row and scored Cambiaso's straight pass into Chivo's goal. Inter Milan led 2-1 again.

In the last fifteen minutes of the game, Inter Milan defended Livorno's offense with his experience and strength. As the referee's whistle sounded, Inter Milan defeated Livorno away. They once again extended the points to seven points.

After the game, Mancini said: "We resisted the pressure today. The players performed well and they controlled their emotions well. Whether it was the lead in the score or the score was equalized by the opponent, we were always in control of the game."

"We continue to move forward firmly towards the Serie A championship!"

...

On the fourth day, Milan will face Chievo at home. Inter Milan's victory puts pressure on them. The three main players were injured and unable to play, which damaged the team's strength, which is also pressure.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, on the south side of the stadium, the hardcore Milan fans played a banner: Milan is a myth, we want twenty-seven consecutive victories!

Looking at the fans' banner, the Milan players swept away their fatigue and ushered in a gorgeous first half at home. They led by 2-0 with the goals of Tang Jue and Inzaji. In the second half, Tang Jue was still working hard for his 100 goals. In the 12th minute of the second half, Kaka passed by the side and Tang Jue grabbed the spot in the middle.

This was an excellent opportunity to score, but he actually missed the football without defensive pressure. Tang Jue missed the best chance to score 100 goals. Three minutes later, he was replaced by Ancelotti, and Ronnie was replaced by him. After the game, Tang Jue pursed his mouth and hugged Ancelotti.

Ancelotti didn't know what he thought and said lightly: "Save the 100th goal for the derby. The next game requires your goal!"

Tang Jue nodded and said, "Okay."

A week later, the Milan derby was about to begin. Two midfielders were unable to participate. Milan's strength was damaged, and that game would inevitably be difficult. However, that game was so important. As for the second round of the Champions League three days later, Milan did not take it seriously at all. The advantage of three to zero in the first round was too great.

Ten minutes after Ronnie played, he once again broke through Chivo's goal with a shot, making the score three to zero. Ancelotti waved his hand, leaving only Ronnie in Milan's frontcourt, and Inzaghi returned to his half. In order to ensure this victory, Ancelotti even replaced Inzaghi with Gurkuf in the 30th minute of the second half, making the 442 formation a 451st formation.

Chevo scored a goal that saved his face five minutes before the end of the game. However, the score gap was too big and they had to accept a one-to-three score.

As the whistle sounded at the end of the referee's game, Milan won Chiwo with a score of 3-1 at home, ushering in the 27th straight win.

At the end of the game, the Milan players were not as excited as in the last game. Martini led the players to the south of the stadium, and the fans suddenly shouted: "Champion! Champion! Champion!"

What championship? This is the Serie A arena, of course it is the Serie A champion.

This is the first time San Siro has made such a voice this season. Milan fans have seen the huge pressure from Inter Milan, and Milan has always performed very strongly. In their opinion, it is appropriate for Milan to win the second derby. Then, it is possible for a Serie A championship!

Regardless of whether Inter Milan can pass the Valencia level, they will inevitably send all the main players. The life-and-death battle consumes not only physical fitness, but also spirit. However, Milan can send some main players to easily face the Celtics.

The situation of the two teams can be described as one in heaven and the other in hell.

This is the hope of Milan fans!

They saw the dawn of the Serie A championship!

Maldini led the players and bowed hand in hand to the fans. After bowing, Tang Jue waved his fists and shouted: "The champion must belong to us!"

The fans gave huge applause!

...

At 8 pm on March 6, Inter Milan ushered in a life-and-death battle in the Champions League at the Mestalia Stadium. The Mestalia Stadium, which can be seated at 55,000, is full. The home team fans should cheer for their team and help their team advance to the quarterfinals.

Inter Milan's 3,000 die-hard fans came to Mestalia Stadium on a plane to cheer for their team. They hope that their team can create miracles tonight, defeat their opponents away and advance to the quarterfinals.

At 8 o'clock, the life-and-death battle officially began. The game began with the shouts of fans on both sides. Inter Milan launched a fierce attack on Valencia at the beginning of the game. In the seventh minute, Zanetti made a cross from the left, and Ibrahimovic headed the ball under the pressure of the opponent's central defender. The football flew out of the crossbar.

Five minutes later, Stakovic shot from outside the penalty area, and the football flew towards the upper right corner of the goal like a shell!

This shot has a strong force and a tricky angle. If it scores, it will be a world-wide wave. Just when Inter Milan fans thought that the ball was about to enter, a loud "Pong!" sounded hard at the junction of the crossbar and the post. The football rebounded back to the penalty area, and Valencia defender kicked the football out of the sideline with a big foot.

Inter Milan fans shook their heads and sighed. The home fans were in a cold sweat. Stakovic hugged his head in pain, and Mancini knocked on his head in pain.

Inter Milan's offensive remained unabated, and they turned away and continued to put pressure on Valencia's goal. Under the huge pressure from Inter Milan, Valencia could only launch a defensive counterattack.

In the 35th minute of the first half, Inter Milan had the best chance to score. Ibrahimovic headed the ball, Cambiaso entered the back row and advanced into Valencia's penalty area.

Facing Valencia goalkeeper, Cambiaso flew out and flew to his right. He threw away Valencia goalkeeper, Cambiaso faced the empty goalkeeper. A white light shone!

Inter Milan fans stood up in surprise and wanted to cheer!

However, fate once again joked about them, and the football actually hit the post and slipped out of the bottom line!

Cambiaso, in pain and disappointment, lay on the turf, unwilling to get up for a long time. Valencia coach Flores blew anxiously, reminding his players to cheer up.

After being unable to break through the opponent's goal for a long time, Inter Milan once again became impatient. The exquisite cooperation gradually decreased, Valencia stabilized her position and the two sides returned to balance.

The two sides ended with a score of zero to zero in the first half. In the second half, Inter Milan continued to launch a fierce attack on Valencia. However, under Valencia's tight defense, they had not been able to get a good opportunity to score, and Inter Milan players became even more impatient. In the 25th minute of the second half, Joaquin dragged the sideline ball, and Vieira roared at Joaquin.

This is Valencia's home court, how can you make you happy here? Joaquin took a step forward and scolded Vieira in Spanish. Vieira stuck Joaquin's neck with one hand. The players on both sides clashed and the scene was very chaotic. In the stands, Valencia fans threw things into the field angrily, and they shouted and scolded Vieira.

The referee finally gave Vieira a red card, ending the conflict between the players on both sides. Mancini looked at the red card in the referee's hand and shook his head, knowing that the situation was over.

In the subsequent games, Valencia took the initiative of the game with his advantage in numbers. In the end, the two sides shook hands with a zero-to-zero score. Valencia eliminated Inter Milan and advanced to the quarterfinals with two away goals.

At a post-match press conference, Mancini said: "We were out of the Champions League and now Serie A is our only field. We will focus on Serie A."

This season, Mancini gave up the Italian Cup early in order to make a breakthrough in the Champions League. Now that the Champions League has been eliminated by Valencia, they only have Serie A.

After the game, some media commented: Perhaps for Mancini, the exit from the Champions League is a good result, and they can focus on the A. If Serie A cannot win, Mancini may leave the football world forever.

And their biggest competitor in Serie A, Milan will continue to compete in Serie A and Champions League. For Mancini and Inter Milan, there is no way out now. How much energy will Inter Milan burst out without a way out?

Inter Milan has no way out, the Serie A championship is their only support point for pride!

What kind of drama will be staged in the Milan derby in five days?

Is Milan narrowing the points to one point or expanding them to seven points?
