The record so far this season has been the exact opposite.

So far 16 wins, 5 draws and 1 loss, but most of the draws with that one loss came in the first 12 rounds. Starting from the 13th round of the YiLa, Inter hit 8 consecutive wins in one breath and rushed to the top of the YiLa table.

Kjaer's playing condition is unstable, and Kjaer is also often injured. Now in the 23rd round, their record is 15 wins, 4 draws and 4 losses, all of which occurred after the 12th round, and 3 of the draws were also after the 12th round, that is to say, Milan has only won 5 out of 12 matches from the 12th round to the present, and there are a total of 7 matches of winlessness and losses.

If you look at the recent form, including the injury status of the starters, how does it look like the

A big advantage, but it turned out to be different than you or I thought it would be.

The home team Inter lined up 352 for this match, with three center backs Skriniar, De Vrij, Bastoni, wingbacks swinging Dumfries, Perisic, midfield three Barella, Brozovic, Calhanoglu, and strikers Lautaro, Dzeko.

Instead, they made some changes to the 4231, leaving Romagnoli and Kalulu at center back, with the original center backs Kjaer and Tomori no longer available, Theo and Calabria on the wings, Tonali and Bennacer at the back, Saelemaekers and Leao on the left and right sides, and Kessie and Giroud in the attacking midfield. Kessie in the center of the field, and Giroud up front.

Putting Kessie in the center of the attack is obviously a special formation, and Pioli probably intends to use his stiffness to disrupt in the middle of the road

The power of the midfield pressing forward to keep the likes of Barella from advancing, but the tactic failed from the outset as

Couldn't hold Inter back at all, Inzaghi Jr. was very successful in his idea of utilizing both sides of the field, Perisic and Dumfries looked to be moving with a lot of distance and range, and the

This side only had Kessie alone in the attacking midfield, but neither Saelemaekers nor Leao on the wings helped him along with the high press, and Kessie alone had no effect at all over there.

With the two main center backs out, Kalulu is only a right back and is too weak to play center back, Inter's two strikers, Lautaro and Dzeko, are both strong scorers and their hard charging into the center of the field makes it difficult for the team to get to the center.

Milan's center backs were constantly being broken through, and as Calhanoglu started to press, Inter's two wingbacks were able to keep coming up, and Inzaghi had his two strikers forming a very strong press in the center, forcing Milan to keep their defense inward, and then the two sides were left open for Inter to come in.

Inter played 9 shots 5 in the first half in the target also full suppression of the situation, played to 37 minutes, Calhanoglu opened the right corner, everyone concentrated in the central area to scramble but all miss the ball, Perisic stood unmarked on the left 12 yards, he easily lifted his left foot to push the high-speed attack on the far end of the score.

Looking at this first half alone at all the game would have been over if it wasn't for the

Goalkeeper Maignan had three superb saves and came up with the save.

More than two points had already been conceded, but at the start of the second half, Pioli began to make his moves, replacing Saelemaekers on the right flank at the start of the game with Messias, Milan's wonder striker on loan from the second division, and then replacing Kessie in the center of the pitch with Diaz at 58:00 of the second half, and things began to change from there.

What Pioli did was to first strengthen the two wings of the pressure and attack, Leao in this period of time is no longer aimless back and forth, but in the attack will always be diagonal insertion, like a striker into the penalty area, the same Messias on the right side as well, the two wings of the pressure is strengthened, this is the only real pressure to the three midfielders of Inter, and at the same time, forced Perisic and Dumfries two people to fall back because the three midfielders do not go forward, can not be divided in front of the ball to allow the two wings to attack Milan's two wingbacks. If the three midfielders don't go forward, they can't distribute the ball in front for the two wings to attack Milan's two defenders.

The pressure on the defense eases.

Relatively, when

AC Milan (football club)

When this side went up to force Inter's three center backs, the weakness of Inter's two wingbacks' lack of defensive ability came out. Dumfries looks like a wingback, but is actually a winger with extreme bias for attack, and Perisic is already old, and the exertion in this game is quite big, if he is allowed to run forward and backward constantly, he will lose his attacking power very soon, in fact, Pioli is only strengthening the attack through the midfield intentionally, pressurizing the three center backs of Inter. In fact, Pioli deliberately strengthened the attack through the center midfield to press Inter's three midfielders, then replaced Diaz who can pass and control the ball, and has been exerting passing pressure on the side road to make Inter's border guards retreat, so that the situation can be reversed.

In the 74th minute, Giroud grabbed the ball from Sanchez in the middle of the field and launched a counterattack, Tonali's cross to Diaz on the right side of the field was blocked, then Giroud followed up with a 6-yard shot from the left side of the field and broke the goal.
