Chapter 22 Degan's Enemies~~~~
The curtain of Serie A opened, and Italian football, which has been quiet for several months, has become fanatical again. Although the Serie A has fallen due to the departure of a large number of stars, Italians do not admit this. In their eyes, Italian football is still a small World Cup.
The departure of the stars did not make the occupancy rate of the league feel any decline. In the opening match between Inter Milan and Udinese, the Meacha Stadium was still full.
Inter fans are looking forward to the team's successful defense of the title. It is best to ride the dust from the first round of the league and let all the competitors follow, but the players on the field are not good. The expected opening did not come, and Inter Milan was tied 1:1 at home by Udinese.
In the first half, Serbian star Stankovic scored his first goal of the season, but in the second half, the goalkeeper Cesar's handball foul outside the penalty area was sent off by the referee. Mancini could only replace Cruz with Tordo, and Inter Milan played one less. In the final stoppage time, Inter Milan's virginity this season failed to save, and Udinese equalized the score with the own goal from deputy captain Cordoba.
Inter Milan's first draw by Udinese should be a surprise. The key problem is still Inter itself. They got a good start and scored the first goal in just eight minutes, which should be said to have shown the spirit of the king.
But then Inter still committed some previous problems, such as the players' concentration and running ability is not as good as their opponents. Inter are all stars and their skills are excellent, but there are not many dirty work, and the control ability of the midfield is slightly insufficient. Vieira and Cambiasso can't play against the Inter midfield. Control has an impact.
Udinese used his full running to make up for the lack of new players to join, and the cooperation is very good. Therefore, Inter did not have a particularly obvious advantage. Overall, Inter's offensive performance is still good, especially Ibrasimovic, who has excellent control of the ball and often uses his own The whimsy brought great vitality to the Inter's attack.
In last season's goal battle, Ibrahimovic was defeated and contributed his buttocks in Florence, but the Swedish Tower was not depressed because of this, and he performed very positively in this game.
It's not his fault that he didn't score a goal, but he was a little unlucky.
In addition, Stankovic also showed his value. After eliminating the conflict with Mancini, his performance on the field is getting better and better. In this game, he is also very active in attacking and defending on the right side. Unfortunately, Cruz always can't get into the form quickly in the start, wasting a must-goal goal. The opportunity made Inter not win the game in the end.
Sanetti showed the best state in midfielder, even better than last year, especially in ball control, passing ideas, and defensive awareness than in the previous two years, which is very difficult for veterans.
However, Dakota's performance was disappointing and did not play an obvious role in attack and defense. Especially in the second half, his physical fitness was seriously insufficient and he made many mistakes, resulting in his early replacement.
Last season, when Vieira and Cambiasso were away, Dacote once rode the savior alone and supported the entire midfield of Inter, but it may be difficult to have such a performance this season.
Figo, who was originally going to leave, but was left behind by Blanca, was obviously a little unable to run and was not in a state. In the first half, he could also connect the attack of the midfield and front court in the waist position. After the second half was put on the side road, the previous breakthroughs were basically invisible and the role was significantly reduced.
It should be said that Inter's defense performance is still good. In the first half, Macon frequently assisted on the right side and often cut the ball inside, which broke the balance on the court several times and caused a relatively large threat.
Maxville also works very hard and has a very large range of running. Because he does not have the help of a front guard, Ibrasimovic is basically attacking on the left side and rarely defends. Therefore, Maxville often needs to face Asamoa's attack, so it seems tight.
The defensive coordination between Samuel and Cordoba is good, and they don't give each other too many opportunities. But after Udinese moved Asamoa to the middle of the first half, Cordoba looked a little difficult to keep an eye on Asamoa, but this was due to his height.
From the first half, Inter Milan's offensive was strong on the right and weak left. In midfield, in order to improve this situation, Mancini first made a change, putting Figo from the front waist position to the left side and moving Ibrasimovic to the middle, which became a standard 442 formation, but this formation does not seem to be good. Fei Ge's ability to break through on the side has declined, which did not improve Inter's offensive ability on the left side, but strengthened the defensive ability on the left side to a certain extent.
But on the whole, the Inter front is relatively open, the midfield position is relatively loose, and the midfield is also very thin in defense. It should be said that this change is a failure of Mancini.
The turning point in the second half was Cesar's reckless attack. He may have been too excited, resulting in improper strike time and rushing out of the penalty area too early, resulting in the ball being unable to deal with after falling to a change line. He had to handball. After a penalty, Inter Milan had to replace Cruz, and then replaced Figo with Suazzo. From this point of Man Chini should have done a good job.
There is a possibility to replace Figo with a defender, so that the formation becomes a 441, so that Ibrahimovic can play a single striker and stabilize the defense.
However, Mancini chose to replace Suyazo to contain the opponent in the frontcourt. Ibrasimovic retreated to the middle of the midfield and connected the front court in series. After the whole team was recovered, seven people were defending and fighting back with Ibrahimovic and Suazo. It should be said that this idea was still good. The two sides remained deadlocked until the stoppage time.
At this time, Inter also appeared Cordoba's own goal. Cordoba seemed to be unable to escape the fate of this game. In the first half, Asamoa's cross almost caused his goal.
When the ball was lost at the last moment and the ball hit his head, Cordoba couldn't avoid it. The ball was still scored by him. It can even be said that Cordoba had the fate of an own goal in this game.
failed to get a good start, and the midfield running ability of Inter Milan has declined, which can be said to be the result of collective aging. It can be seen that some teams in Serie A this season have introduced some young and energetic midfielders. The overall idea is to rely on active running and overall competition to defeat their opponents, but Teams that rely on technical awareness and don't want to run are afraid to be very passive, and Inter is one of these teams. On this issue, Mancini will face a severe test in the next season.
If Vieira and Cambiasso can recover relatively quickly, then Inter Milan's problem is not very serious, but if these two people can't make a comeback, it is estimated that Inter Milan must make a difference in the winter market.
The first game of the league was tied by the general Udinese. Moratti's face in the stands was cloudy and cloudy, and Mancini's side was immediately foggy. In his opinion, the first half was enough to completely lose confidence in the opponent. As long as he scored one or two more goals, it doesn't matter what happened in the second half.
The reason why Mancini was proud in the first half was not only because Stankovic's small angle shot was very good, but also because Ibrasimovic was in a good state in the game. After all, he was the soul of international attack. Inter Milan played badly but won applause, but Tens of thousands of fans on the field applauded not to the team, but to the Swedes alone.
From the pre-match warm-up match, Ibrasimovic, who flew around the world and the team, was praised by everyone. Even if the Super Cup lost to Rome, Ibrasimovic's personal performance, especially the sudden cooperation with Suaso, was recognized. In this game, Ibrasimovic Qi also let the fans who admire him see the infinite side of his talent.
Last season, with an absolute advantage, they lost to Degan, which did not make the Swedes depressed, but ashamed and brave.
In this game, the Swedes played very well, especially the ball that assisted Stankovic, which made people can't help but cheer, catch the ball and turn around quickly, and then gently bounced between the two defenders, still using the frontal instep. The ball just came out of the hole, and Stankovic, who was received, hit the ball at a small angle, to see The whole set of movements is as smooth as a rhythmic gymnast playing equipment.
It is also Ibrasimovic's ability to handle the ball so softly and obediently. There are too many ejections on the back of the foot, and it is not very common to pass the ball. It is fundamental that the strength is difficult to master, but this has been a small problem for Ibrasimovic, who has been trained by Ajax since childhood.
In the following game, Ibrasimovic had an equally unexpected shot. The opponent's old goalkeeper Chimenti had no way at all, but the ball was kicked out on the goal line.
Subsequently, under the planning of Ibrasimovic, Inter played a trio in the front court. First, he suddenly made a ball on his chest, Stankovic hooked into the penalty area, and Cruz shot high against goalkeeper Chimenti.
In the high-speed game, he can continuously play wonderful goals beyond the opponent's imagination. Can such Ibrasimovic not become Meyacha's favorite?
Due to the particularity of this game, Ibrahimović also showed the ability of a field commander, especially after 1011, Mancini sent Suazo to play arrows, Ibrahimović retreated to the midfield, one to take care of the defense, and the other is to continue to plan the attack. This time, what tests Ibrahimović's defensive ability and his peneting ability to pass the ball Force.
Defensively, Ibrahimovic completed his own task, and on the offensive, in addition to killing time by pushing the ball, Ibrahimovic and Suyasso almost cooperated once.
Originally, Inter Milan had another chance to expand the score. Ibrahimovese suddenly blocked the middle, and the ball was just right, breaking the four-person defense line. Unfortunately, Su Yaso plugged in a little slower, otherwise the Suyi group would be a wonderful match that was enough to eulogize another article. he.
Although losing to Degan last season, Ibrahimovic became the laughing stock of the whole world football, and his scene of running in Florence was even broadcast in dozens of countries.
However, it is undeniable that Ibrahimovic is one of the best stars in the world. Although there are some gaps in scoring efficiency between him and Degan, it can be seen from this game that Ibrahimovic is not willing to fail. He is learning to change and strive to improve.
In the mixed interview area after the game, a reporter asked him about his feelings about the applause specially given to Ibrasimovic by the fans, but this time the Swedes were not complacent or blame anyone. Instead, they were a little frustrated: "Yes, but this is of no use, because in the end we only got a draw, and I I just want to win.
If Ibrahimovic's most impressive change is, you can feel a sense of responsibility when you hear him say this.
Because of losing to Digan, Ibrahimovic spent a very difficult time. After standing up from the setback, he learned to mature and learn how to regain respect.
The game needs to be played one by one, but the game always depends on people. If Inter Milan wants to win, it is obviously crucial for a rare player like Ibrasimovic.
Ibrahimovic's change made Inter Milan fans happy, and his interpersonal relationships in the team have also improved a lot.
Last season, in the final match with Fiorentina, Crespo, who was robbed of a goal opportunity by Ibrahimovic. When asked who would be the leader of Inter, the Argentine replied: "From the characteristics of football, Ibra is an iconic figure. As long as he plays well, everything will become easier for the whole team.
Morati gave the same answer to the same question: "From the perspective of personality, Ibra is a leader, and the fans think so. In addition, he also did a very good job last season, fully demonstrating his ability. A small setback is completely manageable for him.
Ibrasimovic is the leader of Inter, and Mancini's choice also proves this. The question he has been hesitating before the game is who will partner with Ibrasimovic, and the media will also bet on the Swedes. Milan Sport made a large interview with Ibrasimovic before the game.
Ibrasi Menpo got used to scoring goals in the first round of the league. On September 12, 2004, Brescia 0:3 Juventus, and September 9, 2006 against Fiorentina 2:3 Inter all left a Swedish mark.
"That's not accidental. I like the beginning of the league, so I often score goals immediately."
In the first game of the 2007/08 season, Ibrasimovic also proved this with his actions. In the first half, almost all the attacks of Inter had his shadow, giving Stankovic an assist. Then he stopped the ball in his chest and cooperated with Stankovic, creating a chance for Cruz to play an empty goal. He also used The juggling-style ball led to the stage to cheer, and everything was just like what the Swedish Tower wanted to express before the game.
However, if you want to become the real leader of the team, Ibrasimovic has to learn to grow up in adversity. In the second half, with the decline of physical strength and Cesar's sent off, the Swedes can only watch the game become more and more difficult with his teammates. After Figo replaced, most of the organizational responsibility of the front court fell on his shoulders, but in the face of the team's overall downhill and depressed mood, it is difficult for Ibrasimovic to reappear in the first half. In that case, the free performance and the cooperation with Suaso did not give full play to the strength shown during the summer warm-up.
After the game, he said: "I think I performed well, but it's useless. After being sent off, we have to run more, but everyone was very tired at that time. What I value is the team's victory. It's a pity to lose two points in stoppage time, but this is only the first game in the league, and the days are still long."
Ibrahimovic's days at Inter Milan are still very long. In the summer, he just re-signed a contract with Inter Milan, with an annual salary of 8 million euros.
Ibrahimovic became the new king of Inter Milan with his excellent performance, and the situation of the previous king will be more tragic.
At the beginning of the season, Inter Milan suffered two setbacks in the first match of the Italian Super Cup and the league. In the summer, Adriano, who was ambitious and vowed to regain the trust of the club with his performance in the new season, also felt hope again and again. He did not play in these two games, and even failed to sit on the bench.
After the first league game of the new season, Mancini and Adriano had a conversation, and then the news came out that the club wanted to transfer on loan.
Adriano publicly said that he could not accept it and said in an interview with La Gazzetta dello Sport that he would rather be sold than accept the loan plan. However, Moratti later said in an interview with the newspaper that Adriano misunderstood the club's intention. Think.
At Como's home, Adriano, interviewed by the Milan Sport, looked particularly heavy. He chose his words word by word and seemed that he didn't want to use even one word wrong.
"I'm fine, not bad, that's it!" Adriano said, "Now I feel sad rather than disappointed or angry. Yes, I feel a little sad. I can't help asking myself: Why is this? My agent and I can't figure out why: why didn't they tell me immediately at the beginning of summer? In fact, I'm not in their plan at all?
"At the beginning of the summer, I made it very clear. I made self-criticism. I did not hesitate to admit the mistakes I had made before under the inducement of alcohol. I knew I had done something. It should be said that I had done a lot of ridiculous things, and I admitted it. I didn't mean to do this. I had a very difficult time. At that time, I didn't know what I had done at all. It was completely unconscious. But I woke up and knew that I had to make changes. I have a clear talk with Inter Milan. Now I have to make a change and get back on track. If I don't change, I will leave by myself, or you can drive me away. Anyway, I won't go on like this. And since I started preparing for the game, I have done everything I should do, so why now?
Speaking of Mancini and Moratti's statement on this matter, Adriano said, "Today I talked to Mancini for a while, and he told me two points: first, Moratti will never officially sell me, and second, the best solution for me is to keep it continuous. Field, and this is not possible in Inter Milan. He never told me, 'I don't want to work with you anymore'. I didn't say 'I want you to stay' or 'I don't want you to stay'. If Mancini tells me, 'You have to continue to work hard according to what you are doing now', I will be happy to accept it and do what he says. Or if he clearly told me, 'As long as you haven't reached your best, I will only let you stand or bench,' and I will do it honestly."
"I told Mancini that I want to stay at Inter Milan and look for opportunities to play. I know it's difficult, but just give me a chance when he thinks it's appropriate. The only thing I can't accept, because I can't understand at all, is that Inter Milan told me, 'You have to keep playing, so we're considering renting you out.'
"I don't want to be loaned out again. I have been loaned once. At that time, I accepted the club's opinion and went to Parma, but that was the right decision for my career. And now, if I really have to leave, then I will leave and leave simply. However, I would be very reluctant, because two years ago, when I was in good shape and the club was not as good as it is now, I had the opportunity to leave Inter Milan, but I didn't. At that time, I received a lot of invitations from various giants: Real Madrid, Barcelona, Chelsea, and I could still name a lot. But I stayed, because Inter Milan was important to me at that time, and even now it is still important to me, and I thought it was important to Inter Milan at that time.
"But now I don't know what to think, but I know that if this is no longer the case, if I become a difficult problem for Inter Milan today, if Inter Milan no longer trusts me, then they can sell me. But I can't rent it, because I don't want to be loaned to play for other teams even though I'm an Inter Milan player. I want to stay at Inter Milan in the hope that I can successfully make all my contributions to Inter Milan as soon as possible. I also want to do my part for the team to win the championship again, Inter Milan, and then I will win again with the national team, because I also hope to return to the national team.
"I feel like I'm getting better every day now. I'm in a good state now, and I know I can be better. I just hope Inter Milan can give me more time and trust. And I'm trying my best to live up to the club.
"I want to meet Chairman Moratti and have a good talk. Because of all this is happening, the last time I was told that I was able to leave by renting was not directly through Moratti's mouth. I can't understand. I want to figure out what happened, whether there is anything else, and whether it is still possible for me to stay at Inter Milan. But if I do have to leave in the end, I think it's better to say goodbye and come back for what?
Then, after listening to Adriano's opinion relayed by the reporter of Milan Sport, Inter Milan President Moratti said: "Adriano does not understand the key to our attitude, and I don't think the people around him have helped him analyze it clearly at all. He has to understand that no one has any intention of targeting him, whether it's me or the head coach. We just want to find the most helpful solution for his career, at least for a long time we still regard him as a member of Inter Milan. The meaning of the lease is here, which means that we trust him. And selling is completely another meaning. We won't sell him now, and we won't sell him in the future. He is not for sale.
When talking about whether Adriano can find his position in the team now, Moratti said that Adriano actually has two ways for him to choose from: "One is to perform well in the team, and I believe that as long as he is confident, he can succeed. The second is to perform wonderfully on loan, and then return to us as the formidable strong center. He is still young and can complete his career at Inter Milan. There are indeed many applications for his loan. Not only the British club, but also Parma is one of them. Adriano can choose. Let's choose together.
Moratti said that if Adriano's agent refused the club's proposal, he would go to explain to Adriano in person: "I will go to Adriano by myself and tell him that he misunderstood our plan. This is a means of helping Adriano completely regain his best state. Our feelings for him, respect and trust in him as a player have never been lost even in difficult times.
Although Moratti tried to make his words as beautiful as possible, it is an indisputable fact that the former Inter King has no place in the club. It is not a matter of his ability, but his attitude towards football.
Moratti may regret taking Adriano back to the glamorous city of Milan, and the Brazilian may also regret kicking Digan out of the Brazilian national team for Adriano.
Previously, Dunga, the current head coach of the Brazilian national team, once said: "Losing Degan will be the biggest loss of Brazilian football. We lost a genius but chose a drunkard!"
