MILITO DISINTEGRATES MILAN
Inter are stronger than the slip-up of Rizzoli: 3 goals from il Principe in a great derby. Ibra, bye bye Scudetto.
The Nerazzurri took the lead right away the the referee gifted a penalty to Milan which at the start of the second half went ahead thanks to the Swede.
Strama-band came back with two penalties and a meteor from Maicon.
Milan – Yes ladies and gentlemen, it is Inter that precisely have delivered the… third star to Juve (already on display in Trieste) by deservedly winning a very intense derby, one of the most fun in the past ten years (led – lost the lead – and took it right back). Milan only had the lead for five minutes thanks to Ibrahimovic who was able to reverse the scoreline at the very start in the second half. But pride, determination, and ultimately their style of play which was superior than their rival, the men of Stramaccioni regained control of the game until the final whistle. The game which will probably earn Stramaccioni his confirmation to be the Inter coach for next season. In a season full of disappointments, having won both derbies is a great little gift to the fans of Inter. It would be wrong, however, if the club keeps the same basic team next season.

Paralysis The illusion of Milan was rather short lived, possibly up until the goal by Vucinic: in the world of global communication, it is difficult for the players of Allegri not to be informed that Juve had just gone ahead. In any case, they waited for 30 minutes to wake up from a paralyzing state of tension: Milan were playing without a mind and muscles to counter Inter. A Milan that were not at its best which were in more difficulty after finding out what was going on in Trieste. It is true that at the 12th minute, Ibrahimovic swallowed a goal from a very close range. Two minutes after that mistake, Inter’s leading goal scorer replied. Sneijder’s freekick found Samuel thanks to the mistake of Milan defensive line especially Bonera. The ball then ended up at Milito’s feet and Abbiati was easily beaten.
Chances This is where Inter started to create many chances with a disallowed goal by Lucio (rightfully so) and a turn of Cambiasso’s head which was saved by Abbiati on the white line: to determine precisely whether it was in or still out, it would take a camera next to the goal posts. So therefore, we accepted the verdict of linesman Niccolai. Definitely wrong is the decision by Rizzoli to award Milan a penalty. Julio Cesar clearly took the ball away from the feet of Boateng before he went down the ground. Afterwards, it was just a mysterious conversation with between Ibra and Julio Cesar and his many faces.
Prize Until then, the Rossoneri only had one shot on target which came from the 30th minute by Van Bommel. Difficult to determine whether the reason lies in the Rossoneri’s lack of conviction in the attack or Stramaccioni’s attention by asking Alvarez to preside on the wing and Sneijder to continue to fall back and help. Allegri was forced to use the youngster De Sciglio at the 21st minute due to Bonera’s injury as well as to give up on Abbiati. Two setbacks that prevented him from making the use of his available midfielders on the bench (Gattuso and Aquilani) in order to rebalance the situation that Milan were obviously in difficulty.
Invention But when Ibrahimovic in collaboration with Binho and Boateng invented the goal to bring Milan in front 2-1, Milan at that point should have been more compact to defend the lead. Few minutes later, Milito penetrated Milan’s right wing which saw Abate went on to commit a naive foul. And at 2-2, Inter had taken control back of all operations on the field. For Milan, up front, there was only Ibra who acted as a lone hero wanted to decide the game on his own but he was defeated like a gladiator in the arena.
Penalties Inter took the lead thanks to a penalty given by the linesman Di Liberatore: Nesta was in a short distance from Pazzini who headed the ball hitting the Milan defender’s arm. Finally came a missile of Maicon from small angle which ended up at the corner of the goal. Just like that.
