Dick's last words made Mazzarri somewhat convinced. Although Dick became famous as a teenager and miraculously achieved a series of top results, he did not seem to give up any game and treated every game carefully. Although before observing Dick's coaching, he only relied on strength to crush weak teams, but after personal experience, Mazzarri began to feel that Dick did not only use strength to crush, but sometimes Some weak teams just didn't use the tactical changes he left behind. In this game, his team caused some trouble for Inter Milan. It's time for his backhand to be used!
Winning Reggina away from home was nothing to many people. However, after this round, Inter Milan fans began to get excited, because in this round of games, Juventus encountered them consecutively. The third draw in the four rounds of the league, they were held to a 1-1 draw by Cagliari in the away game, and Inter Milan's lead expanded to three points!
In these four rounds, Inter Milan scored 12 points, while Juventus only scored six points. The three-point lead they originally had against Inter Milan was instantly thrown away by Inter Milan. Such a strong impact, Inter Milan fans How long has it been since we last saw each other?
Chasing six points in four rounds is not something Inter Milan has never done before. However, with Juventus performing so well, Inter Milan has almost never had such a situation. Either they have been stuck and then been thrown away, or Even if they have already lost a lot of points before, even catching up by six points can only be regarded as a drop in the bucket. Even in the season led by Cooper that was closest to the championship, Inter Milan was only five points ahead of the opponent at most, and they also encountered Such a disastrous defeat
¡°Moratti has finally found the best head coach for Inter Milan.¡±
Many media began to change their tune. Inter Milan is indeed very strong this season, just like the season when Ronaldo joined. They won many victories and played well. However, that season Inter Milan relied more on Ronaldo's performance, and Now, Inter Milan is in full swing, scoring 54 goals in 19 rounds of the league, with Adriano scoring 16, Toni 13, Cruz seven, Stankovic six, Perrotta, Martins, Recoba, Pandev and Di Natale each scored two goals, and Karagounis and Materazzi also scored one goal each. Such a multi-point offensive lineup can be called the strongest offensive firepower in the entire European continent. In the lineup, eleven players have scored goals in the league, and their offensive ability is the strongest in Serie A!
However, one thing has to attract people's attention. Basically, Inter Milan scores goals in the frontcourt. Only Materazzi scored a goal in the backcourt using a corner kick. Is this tactic easier to defend? ?
When a reporter asked this question, Dick shrugged his shoulders: "We have played nineteen rounds, and our offensive tactics have never been defended In fact, there is a big reason for the few goals scored by the backcourt players. The big reason, haven't you noticed? We have the least set kicks in the whole of Italy. Of course, I mean free kicks in the frontcourt. We have not won a penalty in the nineteen rounds of the league. On average, there is less than one free kick in threatening positions and less than five corner kicks in each game With our offensive firepower, we only get such a few pitiful set kicks. I think it must be because we are not lucky enough. "
Dick's ridicule made everyone a little uneasy. Indeed, everyone saw the fierce offensive firepower of Inter Milan in the first half of the game. However, the number of threatening set pieces they obtained was the least in the entire Serie A. This It's really abnormal. There doesn't seem to be anything wrong when watching the game. However, after looking at the statistics of the entire game, a discerning person will immediately find something wrong. There are almost at least two fouls and non-fouls in every game. The action between the players, the action against the Inter Milan players was let go by the referee. Once or twice is okay. This is considered to be the referee's penalty scale. However, if this situation occurs on a large scale, as long as there is a brain, it will definitely It can be seen that many people are targeting Inter Milan
Under such circumstances, Inter Milan still maintains an unbeaten record and has scored the most goals in Serie A. If the penalties can be more balanced, what kind of performance will they achieve?
Thinking of this, everyone became a little silent
The Serie A Organizing Committee also announced an investigation into these games. Although everyone knows that such an investigation will have no results, at least it is a gesture. Dick's approach made many people angry. Damn, aren't you ranked first? One? And call him Jie Bao!
"Our current state is so good, and the next state will probably have some ups and downs When we are in good form, if we cannot leave our opponents behind, then we will definitely be chased and beaten by them! What Inter Milan suffered in the past Isn¡¯t the loss enough? Since public opinion has always been unfavorable to Inter Milan, then?Let me slowly reverse this public opinion. "Dick said to Moratti.
These words reminded Moratti of some painful memories. When Inter Milan had the advantage, they would always encounter various obstacles. For example, in the 9798 season, such as the 0102 season, they all suffered when Inter Milan was in a good situation. The hidden loss then led to changes in the final result. If Inter Milan did not pay attention to this, it might suffer more losses.
In the history that Dick knew, Inter Milan also noticed this, especially in the next season, when Inter Milan won consecutive games and was about to catch up with Juventus, whose state had declined, they faced other opponents. They suffered consecutive losses and immediately lost the opportunity to catch up with Juventus. This result also made Inter Milan furious, and eventually led to the occurrence of the Calciopoli. Dick didn't know if there would be another Calciopoli, but he didn't mind. Before the call, let everyone see what he is capable of!
After defeating Reggina, Inter Milan soon ushered in the Italian Cup match in midweek. Dick continued to send all substitutes, Cesar as goalkeeper, and the defenders were four young defenders, Maggio, Pasquale, and Ander. Leoli and Arbeloa, midfielders Mascherano, Farinos, Di Natale, Semioli, forwards Recoba and Martins, and in the away game, he adopted defensive counterattack tactics. , Mascherano and Farinos protected the front of the penalty area, waiting for opportunities to rely on the four speedy players in the frontcourt to launch a counterattack. This tactic made Atalanta seem a little helpless. In the end, relying on a lightning raid by Martins, Inter Milan Defeat Atalanta 1-0 away from home and take the lead in the Italian Cup!
"I am very satisfied with the performance of the players. They proved that Inter Milan has a top lineup. We will not have a big problem without anyone. We have a strong team."
What happened next seemed to prove the correctness of Dick's words. In mid-week, Inter Milan, who had had enough rest, defeated Chievo 3-1 at home in a hard-fought battle. Although in this game, Chievo relied on defense. Neither of Inter Milan's two main forwards scored, but they did not block the efforts of other Inter Milan players. First, Perrotta received Tony's ball and broke into the penalty area to open the scoring, and then Pandev opened the scoring with a shot. A beautiful free kick scored another victory. Although Chievo later pulled one point back, substitute Martins relied on a counterattack to seal the victory in the 83rd minute. Inter Milan won again and continued to lead by three points. Leading the standings.
Twenty rounds of unbeaten runs, although it is still far from AC Milan¡¯s unbeaten record, but Inter Milan fans seem to have begun to long for such a situation
However, in addition to the unbeaten record, it seems that another record is more realistic, and that is the Serie A winning streak record!
The previous winning streak in Serie A was ten consecutive games. Juventus, AC Milan and Bologna have all achieved such results. Inter Milan has won consecutively after playing Juventus 2-2. Now they have won consecutively. After winning seven games and winning three more games, they will be able to tie their winning streak!
Because Dick was a head coach who was extremely good at breaking records when he was at Atletico Madrid and Dortmund, Inter Milan fans are also looking forward to it. He can also create a top record at Inter Milan and let everyone Remember them all!
"Winning streak? I haven't thought about it yet, but I definitely want to win all the way. Before the European competition starts, we must accumulate enough advantages." Dick answered the reporter.
"You are only playing in the UEFA Cup, while Juventus and AC Milan will both play in the Champions League. After the European competition starts, it will be more beneficial to you." The reporter reminded silently.
"We play the UEFA Cup to win the final championship, and our biggest opponent in the league now is Juventus, so we need to get some more points advantages so that we can be less pressing in the third line." Dick replied.
The reporter couldn't believe his ears: "You mean Juventus won't advance in the Champions League for too long? That's why we need to accumulate advantages, because the next game Juventus will play will be better than yours." a lot less?"
"To win the UEFA Cup, we need to play two more games than to win the Champions League, so we need to accumulate." Dick said with a smile: "What's more, maybe we will have to play two more games than Juventus "
"Can you explain clearly what you mean?" The reporter refused to give up.
"Well, I'm not optimistic that Juventus can go too far in the Champions League No, it has nothing to do with their opponents in the quarter-finals. Real Madrid is a very strong team, but their flaws are very serious. Obviously, especially now, Juventus will have a certain degree of confidence in winning, but in the eighth round.After getting stronger, Juventus' shortcomings will be more obvious. The lack of bench thickness is their biggest problem, not to mention that they have to do their best in the league. Juventus' current style of play is very suitable for grabbing points in the league. However, if they want to perform better in the Champions League, they need to play more actively. Of course, this is just my personal opinion. I am very I hope Juventus can grab more points for Serie A in the European competition. The points in Serie A are a bit dangerous now. If this continues, maybe in a few years, they will be reduced to only three places to participate in the Champions League. ¡¯ replied Dick.
