Silly question, but isn’t a derby a match between two teams from the same city?
I wrote that in the notebook, tab “words”, on the 7:32 train. Bruges won 3-4 at San Siro, against Inter Milan. Nicolò Tresoldi scored three goals. He grew up near Milan and supports AC Milan, according to Sporza and Walfoot. And he told Walfoot: “For me, it was a bit like a derby… It’s huge!”
So I redrew the diagram. A derby is Milan against Milan. Here it was Bruges against Milan. But Tresoldi, in his head, was playing for the other Milan, in a Bruges shirt, in the stadium of both Milans. I drew arrows. There are four and they cross.
The rest I understood faster. Penalty for a foul on Carlos Forbs, Tresoldi scores, 0-1. Lautaro Martínez equalises just before the break. Goalkeeper Josep Martínez gets a long ball wrong, Tresoldi scores into the empty net. Then the hat-trick, 1-3. Lautaro, 2-3. Romeo Vermant scores with a chip, 2-4. A chip. I looked for the vinegar. Bonny makes it 3-4 at the end, Bruges hold on.
Tresoldi also said it was “indescribable”, with his family and friends there. He still described it in four sentences. I think that’s nice.
A derby, Louise, is when you know the table-football regulars at the clubhouse bar across the road.
And Bruges had already won at San Siro in 2003, against AC Milan that time, Sporza and HLN point out. Same stadium, the other Milan. I added a tab. Anyway, I still have a lot to learn.
It’s true, we checked: Sporza.
