Derby game

After waiting for a long time, Satuday has finally arrived. Me and Paolo woke up very soon to prepare everything to bring to San Siro. We had a breakfast soon and then we took the car. When I went outside the apartment of Paolo, I saw his friend, another guy name Francesco. He was happy and always said "Forza Milan - Bravo Vietnam". I felt happy and said Forza Milan to him too. I realise that football was everything in Italy, you know. Maybe you can work from Monday to Friday,very tired after coming back home, but if your favourite team play this week, you are still happy and can talk to everybody about it, like Francesco. Before he left, he had showed the logo of AC Milan on his jacket and had told me "Fight" for the game in this afternoon. I were so proud about it.

Before arriving to the San Siro, me and Paolo needed to come to the house of his friend, name Tucchi to take him to go to San Siro too with us. Tucchi is just 15 years old but like Paolo and me, he loves Milan so much. The only problem is Tucchi cannot speak English and he was so shy when he met me because we cannot converse with each others. 

15 minutes on the car of Paolo, we talked about the derby game, about his thinking and about the history of San Siro. After that, we parked a car on a small street and then go to catch the metro together. Because this is the day of the derby game, so there were so many people on the metro, half of them were the fans of Milan and 50% the remaining were the fans of Inter.

When we arrived to San Siro, I felt very happy. You know, this is the first time I have seen the real San Siro in my life. It is big, ancient and something historical. There were many small shops around the field to sell the kits, presents, gifts and every things about Inter and Milan before the game. I bought a scarf of Milan with 5eur and a t-shirt of Bonnaventura with 20eur. The security system of the field was good. They will check your ticket and things that you can bring inside the field. And then, I went inside the San Siro with Tucchi and Paolo.

You cannot imagine what I saw. A beautiful stadium with a lot of Milanista and Curva Sud members. Because this was a game when Milan was a away team, so we cannot have more tickets from the Italian Football Federation, but it was not a problem. 

15 minutes before the game, we sang, talked many bad things to Interistas. A funny story was when I came to field, sat and talked to Paolo, a lot of Italian friends of him said " Ciao Presidente" to me. Because they thought that I were a Chinese guy, and Milan just has been having a new owner from China, so they said "ciao presidente" to me. And some of them brought a small paper with a list of many football players and said "Who can we buy this summer, the president?" A big joke, and we laughed a lot. One guy taught me said "Poco d*o". I knew they were bad words, but funny, so I remembered it. Many Milanistas and milan fans took some photos with me before the game too.

About the derby game, it was a wonderful game, we had lost 0-2 before the second half and then we had 2 goals to finish the game with 2-2 after the final whistle. When Zapata scored the last goal of us at 90+6 minutes, our area liked to blow up. We were crazy and happy.  We hugged the others , sang and said "Inter merda" again and again. It will be one of the happinest day of my life.

After the game, we came back home, had a dinner with Paolo's mom and talked about the game. Even though we just only had a point, but everybody was satisfield about it, because we were still above Inter Milan on the standing of the Serie A Calcio.
