Chapter 127 Inter Milan vs. Dutch giants Ajax

Wow!!!

As the whistle blew across the Milan sky, the match officially began.

It was pretty much as Mancini had predicted before the match.

Ajax is in a very urgent situation.

Huntelaar kept waving, calling for the ball from his teammates.

As a talented Dutch player, he has scored a total of 42 goals this season in competitions including the Eredivisie, the Dutch Cup, and the Champions League.

It reminds people of the last Dutch genius, Johan Cruyff.

"Pass me the damn ball!"

Huntelaar shouted.

He received the ball from his teammate and accelerated towards Materazzi.

He wants to break through Inter Milan's defense, which is as solid as reinforced concrete, head-on!

Materazzi lowered his center of gravity; the fear of a ruptured femoral artery had long since vanished.

Instead, they adopted a more focused defense.

Huntelaar is not a player who is good at dribbling; he pretends to break through but actually passes the ball to the wing.

Only a fool would run headfirst into a wall!

Wouldn't it be better to go around it?

Ajax full-back Juanfran received the ball and went down the wing, delivering a cross as part of the tactical play.

Huntelaar has made another move!

His strength lies in poaching goals inside the penalty area, much like Ruud van Nistelrooy, nicknamed "King of the Penalty Area"!

next second.

Huntelaar's pupils constricted sharply.

Because a dark blue figure arrived at the landing point even faster than him.

boom!

The ball was boldly headed out of bounds by Materazzi.

Wow!!!

Tens of thousands of fans at the scene cheered for this brilliant clearance.

Materazzi hadn't shaken his habit of trash-talking. He shrugged at Huntelaar, feigning helplessness, and said, "I've seen plenty of these low-level runs. Besides, you run slower than the old lady crossing the street in front of my house this morning."

Huntelaar almost got a red temperature.

Materazzi did not play in the first leg. Although he was also limited, he was not insulted.

After all, honest people like Zanetti and Cambiasso don't mock others.

But Materazzi was different.

"What the hell are you talking about?"

Huntelaar is a young man; if his teammates hadn't held him back, he probably would have started a fight.

Materazzi shrugged.

In the medical area off the field, Lin Mu witnessed this scene and thought, "If I were Marco's opponent, I wouldn't be able to resist punching him too. That mouth of his is just too damn annoying."

The other team doctors laughed heartily and agreed with Lin Mu's statement.

Although Materazzi is a very nice person off the field and has an enviable family, on the field he can only be described in two words: villain.

Materazzi often quotes a line from Machiavelli.

"The ends justify the means."

This is also a classic topic in modern politics and philosophy.

This is also related to Materazzi's experience; he lost his mother when he was 15 and joined the youth team of Messina.

But then he left again.

During that time, I played basketball and also amateur soccer.

He then spent his time struggling in lower-level leagues.

There is no dignity or glamour of modern football there.

Materazzi also learned a lesson: if you want fairness, you have to fight for it yourself.

Materazzi continued to trash talk on the field.

Huntelaar is not a seasoned veteran on the pitch; he can't win a verbal battle with Materazzi, but he's also seething inside if he doesn't lash out.

As the game progressed, my mindset became unbalanced.

Huntelaar shoved Materazzi from behind.

The referee showed him a yellow card.

From this point on, Ajax found themselves on the defensive, their attacks unable to threaten Inter Milan.

A solid blue and white concrete wall has been erected at the San Siro stadium.

The match settled into a classic Serie A rhythm, making many fans drowsy.

Lin Mu, however, was thoroughly enjoying the view.

He gets more experience points if Inter Milan beats him.

The first half of the game ended quickly.

During halftime, Lin Mu checked on the players, and perhaps because the game was very relaxed, everyone was in good condition.

The second half of the game will begin.

Inter Milan continued with their previous tactics, focusing on counter-attacks.

Recoba was substituted on in the 63rd minute, replacing Martins, the left winger from Nigeria.

The situation in the game has changed again.

Inter Milan gradually shifted their formation, and when Zanetti seized an opportunity, he dispossessed the Ajax striker and sent a through ball down the sideline into the attacking third.

Recoba sprinted like an arrow to catch up with the ball.

Before the opposing defenders could arrive, he delivered a diagonal pass with his left foot.

That beautiful arc bypassed Ajax's defense perfectly.

Meanwhile, Adriano, charging wildly, was like an unstoppable tank.

He forcefully knocked down the Ajax center-back.

He received the ball inside the penalty area and even did Ronaldo's signature move, the pendulum dribble!

Lin Mu's eyebrows twitched as he watched.

This involves making feints with both the upper and lower body simultaneously, with the supporting foot at almost a 45-degree angle to the ground.

The pressure on the knees is too great.

Lin Mu had calculated this when he was bored before.

Using Adriano's weight as a pendulum would put 600 kilograms of pressure on his knee joints.

That is, eight times the body weight.

What does that mean?

This is equivalent to the tension a seatbelt experiences when a car crashes into a wall at 60 km/h. Is this using your knee as a brake pad?

Frequent use can only result in ligament rupture.

Fortunately, the scene that Lin Mu was worried about did not happen. Adriano only swung twice before passing the goalkeeper and shooting into the goal.

"That's terrifying!"

Lin Mu patted his chest.

These top athletes are physically exceptional.

But when they do things, they don't know any respect for others.

The San Siro stadium was once again filled with cheers.

Leading by three goals over two legs, they are not as disappointing as their neighbors, despite having Milan in their name.

They will hold onto their advantage until the very last moment.

AC Milan's experience has indeed served as a lesson for many teams.

When the two short and one long whistles sounded, the scoreboard remained unchanged.

Inter Milan defeated Ajax 2-0 to advance to the Champions League semi-finals.

"We won!"

Lin Mu and his colleagues hugged each other.

Suddenly, Ajax player Huntelaar, perhaps blinded by anger, threw a punch at Materazzi.

Who is Materazzi?

He bent over to dodge the fist and then struck back with his other hand.

"Ah!" Huntelaar cried out, clutching his stomach and collapsing to the ground like a boiled shrimp.

There's an unspoken rule on the court: when a teammate gets hit, don't worry about who's right or wrong, just go for it!

"Stop!"

However, Zanetti stood in front of his eager teammates.

Ajax were eliminated, so they fought, and they don't care about being suspended anyway.

What about Inter Milan?

They are aiming for the league and Champions League titles and cannot afford any mistakes.

Everyone calmed down.

Lin Mu saw Marco de la Casa carrying a medical kit, looking like a medic ready to go to the battlefield.

"Shouldn't we be expected to participate as well?"

Lin Mu asked.

"Of course, we're part of the team too, so we have to get involved in the fight!"

Marco de la Casa said matter-of-factly.
