Defeating Valencia 4-2 at home, Inter Milan gained enough advantage at home, which also continued the perception that Inter Milan is the favorite to win the Champions League this season - Valencia's performance in this game does not count Very bad, but Inter Milan had the absolute advantage from the beginning to the end. Valencia's two goals also had a lot of luck. If it weren't for these two lucky goals, Valencia would be A complete defeat!
"Any strong team will aim to win the Triple Crown. Our advantage in the league this season is still quite large, which allows us to focus more on the Champions League. Of course, we will not give up on the league. , I hope the winning streak can be maintained forever. Maybe many people will say that this season's Serie A is the weakest. Since it is weak, then we must achieve better results to make everyone shut up. Glory is not obtained by the weakness of our opponents, but by our own strength. Next, we will prove this well and prove our ability and status. "
Dick's words are not without purpose. The current state of the Inter Milan team is indeed quite outstanding. They have won 16 consecutive league games, won the first game of the Champions League knockout round, and reached the final of the Italian Cup - one step away from winning the Triple Crown. , they are not far away.
After this game, Inter Milan moved to Catania to prepare for the twenty-fourth round - because the main players consumed a lot of physical energy in the last game, Dick sent almost all of them in this game. Substitutes - goalkeeper Toldo, left back Arbeloa, right back Maggio, center back partner Chiellini and Bonucci, midfielders Zanetti, Yaya Toure, Chigarini and Perrotta, The strike partners are Pandev and Di Natale.
Although it is such a substitute lineup, Inter Milan still showed strong offensive capabilities. Catania is currently ranked among the top ten, but was beaten by Inter Milan's substitutes at their home court. Sieve, although they seized the opportunity to score two goals in the game, they were flooded by Inter Milan with five goals, Chiellini, Perrotta, Arbeloa, Di Natale and substitute Crew Milan scored one goal each, and Inter Milan defeated Catania with a score of 5 to 2. As Roma was unexpectedly defeated 1 to 0 by Empoli in this round of the league, Inter Milan has led Roma by up to 14 points. With fourteen rounds left in the league, although this point difference is not irreparable, it is already a terrifying points gap
After winning this game, Inter Milan extended its winning streak to 17 consecutive games!
"One thing we have to admit is that there is almost no suspense about the Serie A championship this season Inter Milan has too much advantage in the league, and it is difficult for Roma to shake their position. Now the only suspense is left. One, how many rounds in advance can Inter Milan win the league championship? Will it be five rounds, or six or seven rounds? This kind of thing is really hard to say"
Dick is not too surprised that the team has won seventeen consecutive games. Mancini has set a record of seventeen consecutive victories this season. His current Inter Milan is better than the Inter Milan in history. It is not a particularly proud thing to create seventeen consecutive wins. In history, Inter Milan was tied with Udinese at home and the winning streak ended at seventeen games. If Dick If you want to create the longest winning streak in Europe, you have to pass Udinese first!
Udinese has always been a tough nut to crack. They are also one of Inter Milan's famous sufferers. It is not uncommon for Inter Milan to suffer big losses. This can be traced back to the 1997-98 season, when Ronaldo was introduced and continued to win in Serie A. Inter Milan, which remained undefeated and in excellent condition, was hit in the head by Udinese. Bierhoff's header made Inter Milan end its unbeaten record. This defeat was very important to Inter Milan. The key, because it allowed Juventus to catch up with their points, and also swallowed the bitter pill for Inter Milan to fall short in the end.
In the first half of this season, when Inter Milan's winning streak began, it was Udinese that blocked Inter Milan's progress. They played Inter Milan 0-0 at home, which was Inter Milan's original goal. The only game in the league this season without a goal.
Now Udinese is wandering outside the European arena. If they want to enter the European arena next season, they need to grab more points. Facing the current Inter Milan, they also have enough fighting spirit to contend with Inter Milan.
Dick paid great attention to this team. The main players who had a rest last weekend all returned to the starting lineup. Dick used the main lineup that he used to deal with Valencia to deal with Udinese. Of course, this There is also the reason why Dick will consciously adjust the players' condition from now on, so that the players can show their best condition in mid-week - the next national game?Milan's most important task is in the Champions League, and the Champions League games are all held in midweek. This adjustment can also give Inter Milan more advantages to face those strong opponents in the European arena.
Udinese is naturally not to be outdone. Although they do not have Di Natale, they still have many outstanding attackers, such as Iaquinta, Di Michele and others. This team is one of the few in Serie A. Teams that can make money rely on cultivating young players in various ways, selling them after they are produced, and then training the next batch. In the entire Serie A, their scouting system is second to none.
At the Meazza Stadium, Udinese resisted very tenaciously. They kept shrinking their defense and destroying Inter Milan's offense. At the same time, they continued to use counterattacks to create opportunities, which made Inter Milan quite a bit like a tiger eating a turtle and unable to make a move. How your mouth feels.
Inter Milan fans booed loudly and despised their opponents, thinking that the opponent's behavior was negative football. However, it is normal for a weak team to shrink its defense when facing a strong team and wants to grab points. Otherwise, you will let How do people live?
After resisting Inter Milan's attack, Udinese's counterattack achieved impressive results. In a quick counterattack, Di Michele passed the ball beautifully, and Iaquinta received the ball in the penalty area and then turned and shot. , the ball bypassed Cesar's fingertips and entered the net, Inter Milan trailed 0-1 at home!
This is the first time Inter Milan has fallen behind at home since the beginning of this season! This situation made the Inter Milan fans a little stunned, while the Udinese fans who came from afar made crazy shouts. They hoped to see the team defeat Inter Milan and end it with a victory. Inter Milan's winning streak and unbeaten season record!
In the past two years, Inter Milan has really been so prosperous that everyone wants to beat them. No matter who it is, as long as they can stop Inter Milan's progress or break their record, they will get everyone's attention. This kind of attention , Udinese also wants it. Although their players are not very famous, they hope to rely on this to make themselves more famous!
However, after the test against Valencia, Inter Milan's players will no longer be in a daze because they were scored by the opponent. Before, they were a little overwhelmed after being scored by the opponent because they played too smoothly. But now Isn¡¯t it just a dropped ball? Let's just get it back!
After the start of the second half, Inter Milan launched a fierce attack, and in the 66th minute of the game, Figo broke through and sent a beautiful cross. Toni overwhelmed the opponent's defender and rushed to the top, equalizing the score!
After being equalized by Inter Milan, Udinese did not panic. Originally, their pressure was not very great. Now even a draw will end Inter Milan's winning streak, so they continue to shrink their defense and do not want to give up. Inter Milan any chance of victory.
Inter Milan tried every means to attack but failed to create any good opportunities. Dick began to change players frequently. Cruz replaced Ibrahimovic, who had a somewhat average performance in this game. Ibrahimovic was still a little unhappy when he came off the field. , felt that he had been ignored, but before the end, Dick proved how wise his substitution was!
In the 90th minute of the game, Perrotta, who came on as a substitute, broke through from the wing and created a corner kick. Sneijder took the corner kick and Cruz volleyed the ball from the back of the penalty area before the opponent's defender could destroy it. The ball hit Udinese's goal - a last-minute winner!
"GOOOOOOAL! Dick's adjustment once again played a huge role! Cruz's winning streak! Inter Milan's 18th consecutive victory! After a record 17th consecutive victory, Inter Milan encountered too much trouble in this game , However, they still survived, and Udinese could not stop their progress! Their next opponent in the league was Livorno, a team that blocked Inter Milan's progress last season. , can they still do it this season? If Inter Milan can get past Livorno, then AC Milan will have to shoulder the heavy responsibility of blocking Inter Milan, but AC Milan was beaten by Inter Milan in the first round. It's a bit tragic After AC Milan, whether it is Ascoli, Parma, Reggina or Palermo, it seems that they are not qualified to stop Inter Milan's progress. In this case, Roma's responsibility It¡¯s very important, because if Inter Milan defeats them, they will be able to set a record of twenty-five consecutive wins!¡±
The commentator shouted crazily. The last-minute buzzer beater was really exciting. After this buzzer beater, Inter Milan has set a record of 18 consecutive victories. How long will they win in a row? Will it really tie or even break Celtic's European club record of twenty-five consecutive wins? This is not a joke!
Dick high-fived the players one by one. Cruise's last-minute buzzer beater brought not only a winning streak, but also a winning streak.And I also warned Ibrahimovic - even if you were replaced, we still won, so although you are now the core of Inter Milan's offense, Inter Milan can still play well without you. Inter Milan now only has one core And an indispensable figure, that is head coach Dick!
In the next two days, Ibrahimovic became much more honest in training. Dick had used this method on Adriano before. To deal with such an outstanding but unruly genius, he wanted to tell them, You are important, but not so important that it surpasses the entire team. Do you want to be more important? Just listen to me, I will make you better. If you think you can reach the top by doing it by yourself, then I'm sorry, you can either leave or be obedient.
¡°This is not just Dick who does this, Ferguson is also a veteran in using this trick. A head coach with absolute authority will always do it more safely.
