Milan derbies are commonplace, but Milan's European derby is the first ever time. To celebrate the occasion, Sport invited two of the biggest names who have won the European Cup, including former Italian coach Maldini Sr. and current Italian coach Andrea Trappattoni, to the San Siro on Monday.

With the big game just around the corner, it's natural to predict the outcome. Trapattoni joked, "Don't let me predict. I played for AC Milan, coached at Inter Milan and had friends in both teams. This European derby is a home-and-away knockout system that is even more difficult to predict. Inter Milan had just slaughtered AC Milan in the league, which was a psychological advantage for Mourinho, but this advantage only existed before entering the stadium and once he walked out of the dressing room, everything was forgotten. Inter Milan also have the advantage of playing away first, and only one goal can create psychological difficulties for AC Milan. It's a high-pressure match, and whoever can control their nerves will make it to the final. ”

Maldini the Elder agreed.

Who are the key players?

"On the AC side it's Inzaghi, Shevchenko, Pirlo, Kaka, and on the Inter side it's the unstoppable youngsters, but it can also be a defender, and I think the Italian team is often the backfield players who decide the game in the key games," Trapattoni said. ”

Maldini added: "The semi-finals are not like the league, although AC Milan lost in the league, but AC Milan have the DNA of the Champions League, I think AC Milan are more promising, AC Milan are always magical in the Champions League, this cannot be ignored. Of course, we are facing defending champions Inter Milan, which seems a little special? ”

Old Maldini wasn't too sure.

"In terms of the quality of the team, I always thought that AC Milan were superior, but the problem was that Mourinho's training was more successful and the players showed more personality. But playing Inter at home, I think AC Milan is more promising. ”

'It's going to be conservative, it's going to be too risky, both sides are going to be cautious, so there's not going to be a terrible score like in the league. Carlo Ancelotti will definitely have big moves, big adjustments, and he will definitely focus on defense first. ”

"Maybe he'll play a back three......"

2:8, can Ancelotti not be afraid? On the training ground in the past few days, he has been discharging a three-back formation on the main side, and he will not consider the offensive lineup and defense at all! Defend! It's still a special defense!

The four young players of Ronaldo, Messi, Adriano and Robben are so terrible that AC Milan's defense can't bear it, and they need three midfielders to sit at the back, as for the attack? Then it was left to Kaka, Shevchenko and Inzaghi to figure it out.

Defend to win the championship.

In the Champions League, Carlo Ancelotti did not dare to take risks.

Ancelotti is busier than ever these days? And his players are more engaged.

And Inter Milan?

In the past few days, the amount of training has been very low, and the captain of the team, Zheng Zhi, even missed Tuesday's training and went to Armani in Milan alone to shoot an advertisement. And the reporter then also exposed Zheng Zhi's annual income.

According to the newspaper Sport Milano? Zheng Zhi is currently the highest-paid footballer in all of Europe? Annual revenues reach 25 million euros.

Second in the list is a heartthrob? Manchester United midfielder David Beckham, who earns €17 million a year.

In third and fourth place are the two Real Madrid "World Footballer of the Year" Zidane and Ronaldo, with annual revenues of 14 million euros and 11.7 million euros, respectively. In fifth and sixth place are Manchester United defender Leo Ferdinand and Juventus striker Piero. The surprise? Japanese star Hidetoshi Nakata, who plays for Parma in Italy, ranks 7th on the "Football Rich List" with an annual income of 9.36 million euros.

Sport Milano calculates the earnings of individual stars based on their salaries, bonuses, advertising revenues and image rights fees. According to estimates? Zheng Zhi's salary is 8.6 million euros, and advertising revenue reaches 14.4 million euros. It is this off-field income that has made Zheng Zhi the highest-paid footballer in Europe.

Milan Sport – With the highest salary, the most money? Playing the best football? This is Zheng Zhi.

– When AC Milan was preparing for the Champions League? Inter Milan captain Youzai Yoya earns money at Armani? Maybe that's why Inter Milan won? They weren't nervous at all?

Actually, right? This is just an illusion, Inter Milan's youngsters are not as idle as Zheng Zhi, they are still practicing after training, Xiao Xiao Luo and Robben have returned to the original diligent happy time, and the two mask men have become a beautiful scenery on the training ground.

"Two fools."

When the training is over? Cesc Fabregas standing behind Messi? Staring at Robben and Little Luo, who are still diligent? I couldn't help but smile a little sarcastically.

"No matter how much they practice, they won't be able to reach your level."

"Here's the talent."

Stepping on little Luo and Robben at the same time? Cesc Fabregas praised Messi.

"How do you speak,"

"It's not good to be heard, so don't just say that to others."

"Diligence is a good virtue." Messi shook his head? Fabregas's praise didn't float up.

"Alas, I'm not looking down on them, I've experienced it, after seeing you so strong, I knew that no matter how hard I worked, I couldn't catch up with you, you know, those guys in La Masia recognize this."

This time Messi finally laughed, Fabregas is too good at sycophancy.

"Okay, okay, okay, don't you just want me to treat you to a bottle of Coke? Let's go, let's go......"

The two of them faded away in the afterglow of the setting sun, chatting as they walked.

"After the end of the season,"

"Are you going back to Barcelona?"

"yes," Messi licked his shriveled mouth, "it's almost over." ”

"My father told me that unless the earth is gone, I will definitely go back to Barcelona. So, basically, there is no problem. ”

"Ah, I really envy you, I can go back again." Fabregas looked at him with envy, "It would be nice if you could take me with you." ”

"Pique,"

"Let's go!"

Messi was lying on the edge of the fence, shouting Pique's name.

Peake staggered over.

"Wait,"

"I'll change my clothes first."

Although Pique is still wandering in the youth team, the relationship between the three is still very good...... Pique has often deliberately distanced themselves from them, but neither has Messi and Cesc Fabregas.
