"Relying on a wonderful assist from the legendary Pandev before the end, Inter Milan defeated the newly promoted Palermo with a difficult score of 2 to 1, won two consecutive league victories, continued to rank second in the league, and joined Juventus as the top two players this season. One of the only two teams to maintain a complete win since the start of the round.¡±
The media after the game commented on this game. They felt that it was very difficult for Inter Milan to win this game. Although they won the game, it was just a small victory with one goal, and they did not show any strong combat effectiveness on the court
"I am very satisfied with the performance of the players." Dick said the same thing after the game.
In the third round of midweek, Inter Milan continued to advance on thin ice. In this game, Dick had no changes in the defense. Zanetti Cordoba, Cannavala and Materazzi all four defenders played, and the midfielder Zanetti was rotated, allowing Mascherano, Perrotta and Stankovic to form the midfield, but there were still no changes on the front line.
In this away game against Atlanta, Inter Milan still played on thin ice. In the 24th minute of the first half, the opponent's forward Boudin took the lead and scored for Atlanta. Stankovic tied the score in the 54th minute. In the 79th minute, Toni received Zanetti's cross and scored with a header to overtake the score. However, in the 84th minute, Atlanta tenaciously scored another goal
At this time, Cruz, who came on as a substitute for Adriano, showed his true qualities as a super substitute. Semioli, who also came on the bench, broke through from the right and made a cross. Tony passed the ball from the center, and Cruz headed The ball relayed to the top and scored the key winning goal for Inter Milan in the 87th minute!
"Inter Milan relied on super substitute Cruz's goal to defeat Atlanta and achieve three consecutive victories"
The media¡¯s reports are beginning to look weak. They really can¡¯t understand these three rounds of league games. You think Inter Milan played well, and they can still be praised after conceding five goals in three games? You said they didn't play well? They also won three consecutive victories and ranked first with a undefeated record like Juventus
Do you say this is boasted or criticized him? If you praise him, but Inter Milan wins every game that is frightening, how can it look like a wealthy team? If you criticize him, Dick will just say "We are still adjusting" in an understatement, and no one will have anything to say. After all, he is indeed adjusting and has won three consecutive victories - what else do you want?
Therefore, the media are quite depressed, so they can only briefly comment on Inter Milan's game. However, Inter Milan fans slowly accepted this situation. No matter what, it is good to win. Speaking of Cooper The season he just took office also had an ugly start, but it was the best start in history with seven wins and one draw. Dick's ability to do this has proven that he is no worse than Cooper, not to mention that although these games have been It was thrilling, but it was also a very beautiful game, and all the goals scored were wonderful.
But in this round of the league the following weekend, all the reporters were refreshed - Inter Milan was tied! They were forced to a 2-2 draw by Parma at home. If Dick hadn't made good adjustments in the second half and Martins, who came on the bench, unexpectedly scored two goals in the penalty area, Inter Milan might have suffered at home. Failure!
Next, they will go to Slovenia to challenge Maribor, and then return to Italy to challenge the strong enemy Roma away from home Such a game is also very likely to be the beginning of a series of bad results for Inter Milan!
The only pity is that Juventus also tied in this round. They played one to one with Palermo at home, which also made the draw with Inter Milan not so eye-catching
After the game against Parma, Dick took a group of young players to Slovenia - Toldo, Zanetti, Cannavaro, Zanetti, Stankovic, Perrotta, Argentine The main players such as De and Toni did not go. Anyway, only eighteen people were needed. Dick simply brought a few players from the youth team, including young defenders such as Potenza. Although he valued the UEFA Cup, but in the first round The four-to-one lead allowed him to rest assured that the main players, who had just played three games in a week, had a good rest.
So what appeared in Slovenia was a typical Inter Milan substitute lineup - goalkeeper Cesar, defenders Maggio on the right, Pasquale on the left, center backs Materazzi and Andreoli partnering, midfielder Masche Lano, Semioli, Farinos and Di Natale, and the forward partners are Martins and Cruz
Relying on this lineup, Inter Milan tied the opponent 0-0 in the away game and successfully entered the UEFA Cup group stage.
The next round of the league against Roma will be followed by a FIFA match day. The draw ceremony for the UEFA Cup group will be held during that time. What Dick wants to focus on now isThe next game is against Roma.
Inter Milan is currently ranked second in the league with ten points, the same point as Juventus. Roma is struggling - after Capello left, he took Zebina and Emerson away, and Samuel was transferred to Real Madrid. Poached at a high price, they are even more confused in the position of head coach. After Capello, Roma hired the powerful head coach Prandelli. However, before the league started, Prandelli His wife chose to leave due to illness. Then the old Sensi invited German coach Voller. However, in the first four rounds of the league, Roma only achieved one win, one draw and two losses, and the ranking fell to tenth place. Voller At this time, he chose to resign and said that the chaotic situation in the Roma team was beyond his imagination. Under this situation, Sensi poached Delneri, who was still coaching Chievo at the beginning of the season. This game will be a game where Delneri will Within a month, he led two different teams to play against Dick
"This kind of experience is still blank for me" Dick joked before the game.
But when it comes to state and performance, Inter Milan doesn't seem to be much better than Roma. Although Roma only won one game, they scored a lot of goals, including a 2-2 draw and a 3-4 defeat. In that game, Montella completed a hat trick, but still could not prevent the team from losing the game three to four
Inter Milan, scored ten goals and conceded seven goals in four league rounds, Roma, scored seven goals and conceded nine goals in four league rounds.
Such a large number of goals and a large number of conceding goals are simply not something that a Serie A team can do, so it is really not easy to say who can win this game.
For Del Neri, he felt very unconvinced when he led Chievo to Inter Milan in the first round. His team took the lead in the first half. If it weren't for the performance of several stars in the second half, Chievo would at least be able to force Tied with Inter Milan, although the situation in Roma is relatively chaotic now, they are still a top team in terms of strength. Although they have lost three main players, they still took back Coufre and Jigu, and introduced Auxerre. On paper, the strength of central defender Mexes and Parma's central defender Ferrari has not dropped much.
In his first game as coach of Roma, Delneri sent out a 4312 formation - goalkeeper Pellizzoli, right back Panucci, left back Cufre, center backs Mexes and Ferrari. The three midfielders are Mancini, De Rossi and Dacote, with Totti forward, and the forward partners are Montella and Cassano.
As a strong contender for the Serie A championship in the past few seasons, Roma's strength is still not bad.
Dick also sent out the 4312 formation he used at the beginning of this season, with goalkeeper Toldo, right back Cordoba, left back Zanetti, center backs Materazzi and Cannavaro, and midfielder Zan Nettie, Perrotta, Stankovic, Recoba came forward, and the forward partners Adriano and Toni.
At the Stadio Olimpico in Rome, more than 60,000 Roma fans greeted Inter Milan who came to challenge with huge boos. Their situation in the previous rounds was indeed very bad. At this time, they needed a beautiful victory to inspire them. Team morale!
They didn't seem to be disappointed. In just nine minutes, after a series of strong attacks, Montella, who was in good form recently, received a pass from Mancini from the right, unloaded the ball into the penalty area, and came over after Cannavaro. Before making up for the position, he raised his foot to shoot and volleyed the ball into the near corner!
The goal was scored shortly after the opening, which made the cheers above the Olympic Stadium even more crazy. Although it is not a big deal to lead Inter Milan by one goal, and the fragility of Roma's defense this year and the strength of Inter Milan's offense also make Such a ball may not be able to play any role.
No matter what, being able to score a goal so quickly is quite encouraging.
Dick shook his head slightly. This lost ball was another problem with the cooperation between the two central defenders. Materazzi and Cannavaro are both very good central defenders, but there was a problem with the cooperation between these two people. It's still a lot. Materazzi is now in a downturn. If he insists on using him, he will have to bear the consequences.
He knew that Materazzi and Cannavaro would be in good condition. As long as Cannavaro has a central defender behind him who can reassure him to help sweep away, he can immediately show his strength, and Materazzi can immediately show his strength. Qi He is not young now. He was born in 1973 and is now thirty-one years old. However, his physical fitness has not declined. With the gradual recovery of experience, as long as he is in good condition, he will immediately make a leap. There will be no problem with performing at a high level for at least two or three years.
Materazzi¡¯s performance in the first two years was not very good, and his appearances were greatly affected. There was even news that he was going to be sold. This has a great impact on a player¡¯s status.It has a huge impact, especially players like Materazzi, who is still playing amateur games in his twenties and has worked his way up from the grassroots, are more susceptible to this influence. Now that Dick insists on using him, he wants to be more His fighting spirit was inspired early.
Therefore, unless someone is injured or suspended for this pair of central defenders, he will keep them playing. There are not many substitutes for the central defender position. Cordoba is prepared to be fixed at right back for at least this season. Positionally, leave enough space for Materazzi and Cannavaro.
Even if we concede a lot of goals, what does it matter? It will always get better slowly
In the following time, Roma continued to attack. Del Neri is a head coach who likes to attack, and Roma's style has always been based on offense. When Capello led them, they all played The most pleasing offensive football in Serie A - this has a very direct relationship with the foundation of a team.
But then Inter Milan's defense gradually stabilized. The three midfielders began to intercept the opponent's attacks in the midfield. Zanetti even sprinted back and forth at the front of the penalty area to help defend - Inter Milan conceded a lot of goals. His defensive midfielder is also somewhat to blame. He didn't play many games in the previous two seasons. Now he finally has a head coach who appreciates him. If he doesn't perform better, maybe the young Argentine midfielder will be Will seize his own position
