The radio at the Meazza Stadium was announcing the names of the visiting players, and for Inter fans, most of the Forest players were unfamiliar, so when they heard the names, they were indifferent, it was just a procedure to be carried out before the game. But when I heard the name of a man reappearing here, a shrill boo sounded.

"Dmitrio Albertini!"

The boos were not directed at Albertini, but at the fourteen years of AC Milan that Albertini represents. As a sworn enemy of the same city, this hatred will not fade with the passage of time.

Albertini didn't react to this scene. He had long been accustomed to it, and even in England he was a little uncomfortable not hearing the boos of his rivals. So now that he heard it again, he felt a sense of intimacy.

The captain of Inter Milan is still Argentine Javier Zanetti, and the captains of the two teams have held hands together again.

"Welcome to ...... Meacha. Zanetti said.

"It's San Siro." Albertini replied.

The derby felt like it was back to Albertini.

Since suffering a thigh muscle strain at the start of the season, Albertini has not been as fit as he used to be. Strain is a fatigue injury, which is a stubborn disease that is not easy to be cured, as long as it is too tired, it may recover, and now that Albertini is getting older, his physical function is declining, and strains are more likely to appear.

So in fact, in the first few rounds of this game, Albertini also suffered a little injury because of this, and his playing time was not very consistent. But in this Champions League game, Donn insisted on putting Arteta on the bench and leaving Albertini. If there are no surprises, he also plans to let Demi play the full 90 minutes.

Why?

Just because the match was against Inter Milan, Albertini was more motivated than anyone else and easier to play at his highest level.

But...... Donn sometimes regrets that it would have been better if the match had been played against AC Milan...... Will Albertini be more energetic?

Zanetti won against Albertini in a coin guess and they were given tee shots.

Players from both sides took their positions and the game began.

Donn sat down in the dugout, but leaned out again to look back into the stands.

He wanted to see if Shania was here.

Although the little girl said that she still has to work today. He also said that if he was busy with work, it would be okay if he didn't come. But deep down, I still hope that she will quit her job in order to watch the game...... This may be selfish, but it's human.

He gave Shania an earth ticket, not a private room ticket. This is not Nottingham, he is not the manager of Inter Milan, and Meazza has already sold out his VIP box tickets before the season, or even a few seasons ago. Shania could only watch the game from the stands like a regular fan – if she was going to come to the ground.

Don just glanced at it so casually, it was too difficult to find that special one among more than 80,000 people.

Just because she didn't find anyone doesn't mean she's not here. Don comforted himself so mentally. Then he turned his attention back to the football field.

The race has begun.

Inter Milan, the second most popular team in Italy after Juventus, have a lot of supporters, and this Champions League quarter-final saw the Meazza Stadium almost full, "almost" because of the need to leave some empty space as a cushion for safety reasons.

The Italians are very concerned about the safety of the match, after all, the two countries in Europe are famous for football hooliganism, England and Italy. When an English team comes to play in Italy, it will inevitably be accompanied by a large number of English fans, who will drink too much and talk about everything.

The good news for Italy is that Nottingham Forest are a small team and there are not many fans coming to Italy, only 2,000.

Italian fans chanted Inter duets from the stands. Cheer up the team, 2,000 English fans they don't pay attention to at all.

As soon as the game began, Inter Milan used home advantage to bombard Nottingham Forest.

Roberto Mancini championed attacking football when he first took over Inter Milan, and his presence made many Inter fans cheer. It's just that with the progress of the season so far, the position of the coach is not very stable, because the team's results are not very good. Roberto Mancini also knows that in a knockout game like the Champions Cup. Defending is safer than attacking.

But in this game, he still chose to let the team attack, press the attack, and attack with pressure...... Because this is the home field, if he doesn't attack here, then he won't have a chance in the next leg.

Mancini's plan was to use his attacking momentum at home to score more goals and get three points, and then on the road to the Italian traditional "defensive counter-attack" to knock out Nottingham Forest. In other words, in this game, he will use his own attack to suppress the attack of Nottingham Forest

What a pity. Donn's play is exactly the same as Mancini's - defending and counter-attacking away from home to score away goals, and conceding fewer goals, and then going to his home stadium, and then taking advantage of the good time to break down the opponent with goals.

So, therefore, on the pitch, Nottingham Forest looked awkward, they were pressed and beaten by their opponents. It seems that Inter Milan could score at any time.

But actually, Donn knew that the Forest's Earthgate was safe so far.

Because George Wood swung steadily as always.

Sometimes Don gets tired of the scene. He really wanted Wood to go out of shape for several rounds in a row...... Because that would make him think that the child in front of him was a normal person, and now ...... If it weren't for the fact that the results of the medical examination had clearly told Donn: George Wood was human. He really doubted that Wood had traveled from the future to the present high-simulation robot - anyway, I, an ordinary Chinese fan, could travel to the UK to be a professional coach, why couldn't the "humanoid weapon" of the 22nd century travel to become a professional player? For example, his real goal should have been to assassinate a big devil who would threaten world peace in the future, but when he traveled through the land, the enemy suddenly attacked the time machine, encountered a malfunction, lost the original information, didn't know what his mission was in the 21st century, and didn't even know his identity, so he could only rely on being a porter to support his kind mother who adopted him, until he met Don En, who was also a cross-journey...... Wait, Tony, stop, this is based on reality based on limited yy football!

The stands erupted in disgruntled boos from the Inter players, and just three minutes into the game, they finally found a target to be booed by Albertini – the one who would be annoying at first glance.

Stankovic was unceremoniously knocked down from the side by George Wood just now when he was dribbling the ball on the wing, and although the referee blew the whistle for a foul in time, it could not stop the loud boos from the Maya stand.

In the eyes of the fans, Wood's actions of turning away with his head held high after the foul were truly arrogant and disgusting. After committing a foul, the vast majority of players will pull up the fallen opponent after committing a foul, in order to show friendliness or to escape the referee's punishment...... But Wood never did that, and he wasn't targeting Inter Milan, which is not surprising to England fans, because Wood was always so unpopular when he played in the English domestic league......

He's just in pursuit of victory, and it's easier to get into the play like Donn, and he sees his opponents in the middle of the game as a mortal enemy. Since you are an enemy, there is no need to show the slightest pity and friendliness, which will make you feel that you are not motivated to fight, and you will feel that this is a betrayal of your teammates who are pursuing victory with you.

Well, yes. The world of George Wood Field football is as simple as that – it's all enemies except his teammates. So in the past few years of his career, he has only had the experience of exchanging jerseys with his opponent once, or because he scored a goal at the last moment, helping the team draw the opponent in a good mood, and it was the opponent who took the initiative to exchange jerseys...... That's right, that was when Roy Keane and George Wood swapped jerseys. Except this time, Wood never exchanged jerseys again.

Swapping jerseys? If I'm winning, why should I care about losing? If I lose, why the would I do such a shameless thing with a triumphant victory?

So, George Wood fans are Nottingham Forest fans, and other than that, other teams support him and hate him to the core.

Now, Inter fans are quickly hating him.

What an impressive boy......

Wood paid for a foul to end Inter's opening three minutes of indiscriminate bombardment. After Adriano headed the free-kick high, Inter's attack began to gradually retreat.

Nottingham Forest gradually had some offensive, but not many troops were put into the attack.

Mancini can see that Tony Towne wants to defend in the guest voice, win with less loss, and the best result may be a draw, right? It only strengthened his desire to stick to the offensive ground at home.

But the Italian young marshal only wanted the first half of the sentence right, Don En did have to defend away, but his goal was not "less loss should win......
