Chapter 237: Chapter 237

When the Inter players arrived in the locker room, Berni exclaimed as he took out his phone: "Guys, good news, Napoli and Udinese are still 0-0 over there!"

Napoli is facing Udinese at home in the final round of the Serie A, with Udinese already securing their spot in the league.

Currently, Inter Milan is leading AC Milan 1-0.

If both Inter Milan and Napoli finish with the current scores,

Inter will surpass Napoli by two points on the standings, thus replacing them and securing a top three spot in the league!

This good news from Berni lifted the spirits of the Inter players.

Everyone started discussing excitedly, cheering for Udinese non-stop.

However, amidst the lively chatter, Tang Long stood up and signaled for everyone to calm down.

"Guys, let’s not focus on the situation with Napoli. Regardless of their result, we must play well in this match!"

"The opponents haven’t given up yet. Overthinking will make us anxious!"

Captain Ranocchia nodded in agreement.

He acted as the captain again, gathering everyone in a circle, standing in the middle.

"Let’s just focus on playing freely, and not think about Napoli, just play well in this Milan Derby."

"I just heard Inzaghi, the loudmouth, nagging in the player tunnel, planning to attack fiercely in the second half, so we must not let our guard down!"

As the Inter Milan players walked out of the tunnel, Bonazzoli quickly ran over to Tang Long.

"Tang, your through pass in the first half was beautiful. Give me another one in the second half, let me score twice and seal the match!"

Tang Long agreed verbally, gave Bonazzoli a few perfunctory words, and then walked away.

Tang Long didn’t want to waste the remaining four chances of intuitive bonuses on Bonazzoli.

His intuition told him that Inter had a very high chance of winning, and there was no need to use this "golden finger."

The key point was on the left side with Di Marco!

Tang Long switched between both sides with long passes, controlling AC Milan in the first half.

His body was moving, and his mind was also active.

While controlling, he keenly observed the status of players in each position on the opponent’s side.

With comprehensive AI system data analysis, he discovered a huge potential problem with the fitness on AC Milan’s right side, namely Boli and Abate!

Boli’s running demand was extremely high.

He wasn’t a player with exceptional fitness, and after 35 minutes, he was already making frequent defensive errors, relying on the experienced right-back Abate to cover for him, which prevented even bigger defensive holes from appearing.

But a player’s stamina is ultimately limited.

If these two players aren’t replaced by Inzaghi in the second half, utilizing Di Marco’s crosses to attack this side, Inter’s offensive would create a new scenario!

Instead of using intuitive bonuses, he should use passing to bring Di Marco into play;

Once his crosses from the left start coming, both Bonazzoli in the penalty area and the advancing Gualin would have great chances to score.

Tang Long calculated all of this in his mind.

And just as expected, the beginning of the second half confirmed Tang Long’s judgment!

Boli and Abate’s running visibly decreased both in attack and defense.

Especially during a passing sequence in AC Milan’s backfield, a simple pass from De Rong slipped under Boli’s foot and wasn’t caught.

The ball leisurely rolled out of bounds~

This brought a tremendous chorus of mocking boos from the Meazza Stadium!

Abate, next to Boli, raised his hands in frustration towards Boli, the two even exchanged words in an oral spat.

"AC Milan’s attack hasn’t improved, but instead, there have been quite a few errors in backfield passing."

"If things continue , I don’t see any chance for them to turn the tables!"

"Huh? Alright, dear viewers, according to the latest from the director, Napoli has scored!"

"Higuain scored! Napoli is now leading Udinese 1-0 at home..."

"If both sides finish with these scores, Napoli will replace Inter Milan for a spot in next season’s Champions League qualification."

"All ten matches of Serie A’s final round kick off at the same time."

"Every goal can potentially change the final standings!"

Around the 55-minute mark.

Tang Long noticed AC Milan coach Inzaghi talking intensely with his coach, seemingly discussing a substitution.

If nothing unexpected happens, at least one of Boli or Abate will be substituted.

There’s no more time to wait!

The last chance for a wing attack, if it doesn’t open up, he might have to use an intuitive bonus or personally move to the front line!

"Di Marco, move forward!"

Tang Long deliberately retreated from the attacking midfield to the defensive midfield position, signaled Gualin to pass him the ball, and gestured firmly to Di Marco ordering him to charge forward.

Inside the Inter Milan locker room, Di Marco, Tang Long, and Bonazzoli formed a small clique.

They were all players from the Inter Milan Youth Training Camp, and Tang Long was undoubtedly the leader of this trio.

Upon hearing the leader’s command, would Di Marco dare not comply?

His legs went like they were on wheels of fire, stomping forward with a thudding rush.
