When Dick began to make it clear that Inter Milan's goal this season was to win the Triple Crown, the Italians felt that Dick was indeed too arrogant. In the first two seasons, Inter Milan did win the league championship, but the process of winning it was also very difficult. At least it's far from a draw. Although Juventus was relegated and Milan was deducted points this season, do you regard the other princes of Serie A as nothing?
Dick's true thoughts were not revealed. To be honest, he really thought this way - in the past ten years, the three northern powers have captured too many resources, and even powerful players like Lazio in Rome have also seized the resources. After a year or two of glory, it quickly declined due to financial reasons. The other teams of the Seven Sisters also lost their last trace of ambition due to the strength of the top three in the north. This can be seen from the European competition. , except for the top three in the north who have the ability and ambition to snatch points for Serie A in the Champions League, any other Serie A team cannot afford to support them in the European competition. All they think about is how to be cautious in Serie A. Successful relegation, but with almost no ambitions. Facing such a group of teams that have no ambitions and only want to keep their Serie A qualification. They rely on fake accounts and selling people to support the team. No matter how many teams they have, they will have no impact on the powerful Inter Milan. possible obstruction.
And what happened next was enough to prove that Dick's confidence was not unreasonable. After getting through the pressure at the beginning of the season, it would be difficult for the next opponent to put too much pressure on Inter Milan's progress.
In the tenth round, Ascoli was swept 5-0 at home. Inter Milan's powerful offense completely destroyed the opponent. Toni and Ibrahimovic each scored a goal, and captain Zanetti, Figo and Stankovic each scored a goal. .
In the eleventh round, they defeated Parma 3-1 away from home. Ibrahimovic, Sneijder and substitute Cruz each scored one goal.
In the twelfth round, Tony, Yaya Toure and Maicon each scored a goal to help Inter Milan defeat Reggina 3-0.
In the thirteenth round, facing the challenge of Palermo in the away game, Inter Milan played very hard in the away game. Miccoli's goal once put Inter Milan behind in the game, but Ibrahimovic equalized the score a few minutes later. , not long after the start of the second half, Yaya Toure made a forward header in the penalty area and gave Inter Milan the lead. Then Inter Milan withstood Palermo's crazy attack. Pandev, who came on as a substitute, helped Inter Milan with a free kick. To seal the victory, Inter Milan defeated Palermo 3-1 in an away game and won six consecutive victories. After defeating this opponent who had been on par with itself before, Inter Milan consolidated its first place in the standings - although Roma was not here. For a period of time, they also achieved a complete victory and continued to chase Inter Milan with a four-point disadvantage. However, Dick was not worried about Roma being able to catch up with Inter Milan, because their scoring rate against weak teams was definitely not as good as Inter Milan. .
In the league, face-to-face confrontation is important, but how many points can be scored against a weak team is also a key issue. Now Inter Milan has defeated Roma once in a face-to-face confrontation, and its ability to grab points is better than Roma. In this way If we still lose the league under such circumstances, it would be too unreasonable to tolerate
In addition to winning consecutive games in the league, Inter Milan successfully advanced to the Champions League even if they sent a large number of substitutes. After giving Siena a 4-0 score at home in the fourteenth round, Inter Milan won in the away game. He sent out all his substitutes and tied with Bayern one to one, ranking second in the group with four wins, one draw and one loss in five games. Dick didn't care about this, whether he was first or second, it didn't matter. It will not have much impact on his preparations, because he firmly believes that in the knockout rounds, his team's physical fitness and condition must be even better
After returning from Munich, Inter Milan will prepare for the World Club Cup - before that, Inter Milan still played a league game and defeated Empoli with three goals with only part of the main force. With the power of the winning streak, the entire Inter Milan team flew to Japan to prepare for the Club World Cup. There, they will play two games in three days. For this reason, the next 16th round of the home game against Messina, It will be postponed until after the New Year.
For Inter Milan, the Club World Cup is not too difficult. Their opponent in the semi-finals is the winner between South Korea's Jeonbuk Hyundai and Mexico's Am¨¦rica, and their biggest opponent in the Club World Cup is undoubtedly It will be the international team from Brazil.
Dick didn't pay much attention to the next two possible opponents. Although Mexico is known as the last inheritor of classical football, they have experienced a blank period in the past two years. The veterans have retired one after another, and the rookies have not yet been able to compete. Come on, although Team America is Mexico's traditional strong team, they still will not be Inter Milan's opponent.
Sure enough, in this game, although Dick sent out most of his substitutes, he still defeated his opponent with a score of four to zero. IbrahimovicSneijder, the only two main players on the field, each scored a goal in the first half. Di Natale expanded the score in the second half. Chiellini added another point with a header after receiving Figo's corner kick before the end. Inter Milan swept Team America 4-0 and entered the final with their heads held high.
Not surprisingly, the opponent in the final was Internacional from South America. The meeting between the two international teams in the final was quite a gimmick.
This Brazilian international team does not lack talents, such as the young Pato, but the young striker was injured in the semi-finals and it is still unknown whether he can play.
"Pato will definitely play. The Brazilian team has always promoted a certain young talent, especially in competitions such as the Toyota Cup and the Club World Cup, which are the best stages for Pato. He is injured, so there will be Some concerns, we can play more fiercely, understand? We continue to use our back-and-forth passing tactics to tear apart their defense! The Brazilian team is not particularly good at defense. They face our offense. We won¡¯t be able to resist patiently attack, break their gate into a sieve, go home with our third championship this season, and then let everyone see how we won the honor of six crowns. of!"
Before the start of the game, Dick waved his fist and told the players that he rarely talks now, but in such a game, it doesn't hurt to talk. Anyway, for the players of Inter Milan, the world club The Cup is also a team they have never won, and Internacional is not bad. In addition to tactical arrangements, it also needs to perform better in other aspects.
After Dick did this, the Inter Milan players' desire to compete was completely aroused. In fact, after the start of this season, Inter Milan's state first declined and then improved. At first, it seemed that it was due to changes in tactics. They were a little uncomfortable, but now they have completely adapted to this situation, and the tactics arranged by Dick are indeed very threatening offensively, so they are confident in facing any game now, but it is easy to underestimate their opponents.
After the start of this game, Internazionale Brasil came up with a fierce attack - in competitions such as Toyota Cup and Club World Cup, the advantages of South American teams are nothing more than physical fitness and attention. Inter Milan played in a double match the week before Now, there must be some problems with physical fitness. At the beginning of the World Cup, they were still playing in Italy and did not come to Japan until two days before the semi-finals. Although they swept the American team, their players' physical fitness was not good. How much better.
However, Inter Milan, which was well prepared, used its defense to resist the attack of the American team. Although Pato was very active, he could only walk around in front of Materazzi's experienced and fierce defense - Materazzi's Even in Brazil, people know his fierce reputation very well. Everyone knows that this is a fierce defender who does not mind using yellow cards or even red cards to block the opponent's progress. What's more, Pato is not very strong physically, and the injury has not fully recovered, so naturally he is only Being able to go around Materazzi, their offense will be greatly affected.
Pato only made one splash in the first twenty minutes. After receiving a cross from the wing, he flicked his head and missed the far post. However, two minutes later, Inter Milan responded in kind. After Ibrahimovic took the ball at the front of the penalty area, After passing the ball into the penalty area, Tony beat the defender and headed the ball towards the top. The ball hit the crossbar and flew out of the baseline.
Twenty minutes later, Inter Milan began to gradually grasp the situation on the court. They continued to use quick passes to tear apart the International team's defense. In terms of offense, the International team was not inferior to most European giants, but in terms of defense But it was far behind. In the 28th minute, Sneijder, who came in, passed the ball to the right through the ball beautifully. Figo, who came in, made a precise cross. Toni jumped high in the middle. Overpowering the opponent's defender, he shook his head and headed the ball into the dead center of the goal!
This goal opened the door to victory for Inter Milan. They then slowed down the tempo of the game and continued to delay the international team's offensive rhythm. In the counterattack, they played resolutely fast and passed back and forth between several people. It made the international team's defense miserable.
Before the end of the first half, Ibrahimovic created a single opportunity for Perrotta with a beautiful overhead pass. Perrotta calmly dribbled the ball into the penalty area and pushed past the attacking goalkeeper. The lead expanded to two goals.
After the start of the second half, Inter Milan did not relax their attack. They immediately launched a fierce attack at the beginning of the second half. It was this fierce attack that completely solved the opponent. In a quick counterattack, Figo passed the ball to the right, and Maicon received the ball and then hit it in the fourth. A cross was made from a 15-degree angle. Ibrahimovi? passed the ball to the forward point. Sneijder took off without any defense and headed the ball into the empty goal. Three to zero, Inter Milan. Completely establish the victory!
After scoring the third goal, Dick started to make substitutions. Cruz and Pandev replaced Ibrahimovic and Toni, and YayaLei replaced Figo, and Inter Milan began to focus more on defense. Although Inter recovered a point in the 82nd minute, they were still unable to recover!
Pato only played 60 minutes before he was forced to leave due to a recurrence of his injury. He did not perform too well on the court. Compared with experienced defenders like Materazzi Cannavaro, he still needs time to develop. growing up.
"We have won the Triple Crown, right? Italian Super Cup, European Super Cup, World Club Cup, we have now won three championships!"
Dick's malicious act of cuteness at the post-match press conference disgusted a large number of people, but everyone had no choice but to admit that for the current Inter Milan, they only have one problem left, That is, in the remaining games of the following season, how many records will they set and how many championships will they win
