Chapter 405 New Battles, Stronger Opponents

After the 7:0 victory over Parma, the media praised, the fans rejoiced, and the club rewarded him for his achievements, but Jiang Mu did not forgive Vieri, a famous star who violated discipline and affected unity. After the game, Jiang Mu issued a ticket of 10,000 euros for Vieri.

The ticket of 10,000 euros is a drop in the bull for Vieri, but this shows Jiang Mu's attitude that all players are treated equally, and Vieri was replaced in 30 minutes, which is a great encouragement to all Inter Milan players, especially those sitting on the bench, because This means that as long as they perform well, they will have a chance to play and start.

Jiang Mu came to Inter Milan and made several actions very beautiful. He promoted Baresi and found a reliable and familiar helper with Inter Milan. The failure to buy or sell players stabilized people's hearts and stopped Recoba's contract, avoided future conflicts, replaced and punished Vieri, and deterred the whole team, especially the first The game was 7:0 revenge for Parma, which made the players have to be convinced of Jiang Mu's various practices.

Although it is only a short week, the impact on Inter Milan is very obvious. Jiang Mu's authority was soon established. The players are no longer talking about Jiang Mu behind their backs as before, and they have a few out-hearted awe for Jiang Mu.

However, Jiang Mu knows very well that the root of this awe is not very solid. It is based on a great victory. If the victory cannot continue, his bold words are all bragging, and the image just established will definitely break like a soap bubble.

The next test they face is still severe. This time, their opponents are more powerful than Parma. They are the defending champion Lazio, that is, the Lazio who was eliminated by Alkmaar led by Jiang Mu in the Champions League.

Although Lazio left Almeida and Conescan this season, Lazio spent more than 50 million US dollars to successfully grab Crespo from Parma, bought the old goal Perucci from Inter, and bought the Pobosky Argentine Castro who played well in the European Cup during the winter transfer. There is no increase or decrease.

Originally, Lazio was going to buy Barcelona's midfielder Cenden. They sold Concesan for Cen Teng for the place. However, due to the large investment in the early transfer, the club's funds were tight and could not afford to pay a large amount of money to Barcelona. Eriksson planned to sell Salas to Inter Milan, but Lazio's boss Craniotti was too greedy and the price was too high, and Salas didn't want to leave. He stayed in Lazio at the cost of a "cold bench". In the end, Erickson could only leave Salas.

After thinking left and right, Eriksson planned to exchange Lazio's Spanish midfielder De La Pena for Cenden, but Barcelona did not want to buy back the "Little Buddha". After repeated negotiations between Eriksson and Barcelona, the two sides reached a loan agreement, which is to cross-loan Della and Cenden to the other side. But he didn't expect that "Little Buddha" had a "donkey temper" and resolutely refused to join his old club Barcelona team, because he didn't want to go back to be a substitute for Guardiola.

Although Eriksson's plan was ruined, he accidentally found a midfield wizard Stankovic, Stankovic, who was also a genius. He was powerful and skilled, which completely offset the emptiness left by Concesan's departure.

After the beginning of the 2000-2001 season, Lazio can form the strongest lineup: goalkeeper: Peruzi (Machegiani), defenders: Favari, Nesta, Mikhailovich, Pancaro, midfielder Nedvede, Peron, Simone, Stankovi Qi (Lumbado, Boboski) / Crespo (Inzaghi Jr.), Claudio Lopez (Salas).

Such a lineup can definitely be called the top three in the world at that time, but unexpectedly, the defending champion who threw a lot of gold yuan did not achieve a commensurate result in the initial stage. After winning Inter Milan at 4:3 and winning the Italian Super Cup, he had 7 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses in the first 14 rounds of the league, and his performance was not outstanding. Especially in the Derby, the 0:1 defeat to Rome was a great blow to the team's morale.

Later, it was revealed by the media that the reason for the team's poor record was that the head coach Eriksson had no motivation after winning the double championship. He began to be distracted and kept secretly with the Football Association. Finally, he couldn't resist the high-paying ** and secretly signed a contract to coach the England national team next season.

The club that aspires to win the championship was gradually left behind by Roma and Juventus. In the second stage of the Champions League, they lost to Anderlecht and Leeds United in a row, and the Coppa Italia was eliminated by Udine. The fans's demand that Eriksson immediately leave are getting louder and louder, but Lazio suffers from the lack of a suitable candidate, Cranioti He had been hesitant to do it, and Erickson didn't want to leave.

In the 15th round of Serie A, in addition to the strong dialogue between Lazio and Inter Milan, Rome and AC Milan will also have a big battle, which is called by the media as a battle between Milan and Rome, and the victory or defeat of these two games will also have an important impact on the trend of the league.

Before this key strong dialogue between Lazio and Inter Milan, Craniotti finally gave an ultimatum to Eriksson, saying: "We will win this war with Inter Milan at all costs. When we walk into the field, we must be convinced that we are better than Inter Milan. It is useless to be modest. We can't walk into the field with our heads down. On the contrary, we must hold our heads high. Inter are afraid of us, because we have won many times, and I only see that one possible result is our victory. This is very important to us and will enhance our hope of winning the league championship. And if we fail, we can only fight for the Champions League, and we may not even have a Champions League seat. This is Erickson's last chance. If he can't win, we can only consider changing the coach."

Jiang Mu forced Parma's coach Masaleni to step down in the first game, and then played against the precarious coach Eriksson in the second game. Italy's Rome Sport said: "If Inter Milan wins again in this game, Eriksson will be a fore-of-class, then Jiang Mu can be called It's a coach killer."

Lasporte dello Sport believes that this game is a test for Jiang Mu and an opportunity for Jiang Mu, because in the first game, Inter Milan's performance was so excellent, which also makes fans and media' expectations for Inter Milan higher. Once lost or tied, it will have a negative effect, and Lazio The head coach Eriksson is in the crater, and he will definitely not let go of the last opportunity. At this time, the team may have greater combat effectiveness, but the opportunity is also great. If he can win against strong teams such as Parma and Lazio in a row, Jiang Mu's position in Inter Milan will soon be consolidated. This will make Inter Milan's general's running-in faster, and they may even create a miracle of reversing the 14-point championship.

Moratti, the boss of Inter Milan, did not put any pressure on Jiang Mu. In an interview with reporters, he publicly expressed his full support for Jiang Mu. The oil tycoon with a literary and artistic youth temperament said: "I have made a lot of mistakes in the past, and the frequent replacement of the head coach is One of them, which led to the team's lack of stable playing style and no style. This time I invited Jiang Mu to be the result of careful investigation. This decision took us about half a year. I will give Jiang Mu the greatest power, the most relaxed environment, and the most financial support. I am very happy to win 7:0 in the first game, but I am right. There is no requirement for this game with Lazio. Although Lazio has a poor record, they are the defending champions. Last year's double champions, it is not easy to defeat them. I will give Jiang Mu time. I believe he will give me a brilliant international era.

The boss did not make a request or give a goal, but Jiang Mu took the initiative to put pressure on himself. After training in the middle of the week, he said to the reporter: "We must win this game, and we will definitely win. Although Lazio is the defending champion and the team is full of stars, they have no fighting power now, because they don't have it. Head coach, a team without a head coach is like a headless fly. Even if there are eleven world-class players, they will not play any good football.

In the match between Roma and AC Milan, Jiang Mu claimed that he did not support AC Milan to win. He said, "Although AC Milan's victory will help us delay Rome's retreat, don't forget that AC Milan is also a team that has always had the hope of winning the championship, and their points are also in front of us, so what I hope for him most is him. We tied, so that we can catch up with them by two points.

Jiang Mu objected to the media's belief that he might become a coach killer. He said, "Coach is not easy. It seems that we are in power and can determine the fate of the players. In fact, we are weak in a team. When the team's record is not good, we are the first to be sacrificed, so I I sympathize and respect my peers. I don't want any head coach to be dismissed because of my defeat.

In this time fighting with Erickson, Jiang Mu behaved very gentlemanly and did not use any improper and profanity, but Erickson still had no good impression on Jiang Mu. The last time Jiang Mu revealed to the reporter about him stepping on two boats, which made him anxious for a long time. He hated and afraid of Jiang Mu Erickson.

Now when he is in trouble at home and abroad, he didn't expect to meet the enemy who defeated him again. Naturally, Erikson will not have any good voice towards Jiang Mu. At the pre-match press conference, he claimed that he did not know Jiang Mu and did not know any magic coach. For the loss to Alkmaar in two rounds last season, Erickson said it was a despicable battle.

"We never knew that a coach would do anything for football. Last season, I saw that I was not in the mood to think about the game at that defeat, so our loss was not out of strength, but out of despicableness. I am very happy that I still have a chance to revenge before I leave Serie A. I must make him understand that football depends on strength rather than a nasty conspiracy. Lazio's players are very supportive. We won the league championship and the cup championship together. We have had the best two seasons. In this game, they will go all out to fight for the club and for myself.

Jiang Mu didn't mind Erikson's attack on him, and even said humorously, "Coach Erikson said he didn't recognize me. I believe it's true, but after this game, he will know me immediately and remember me forever."
