Chapter 408 Inter Milan with a big change of face
In the evening, the city of Rome is brightly lit, the Tiber River is like a jade belt wrapped around the waist, and the Olympic Stadium is like a galactic warship landing in the "immortal city". The voices are boiling and spectacular.
In order to better watch the fans, the strong dialogue between Inter Milan and Lazio was held at 7:30 p.m., and the number of fans present also interpreted the wisdom of the Football Association. 72,000 set a record for the number of fans in nearly ten rounds of Lazio's home games.
The South Stand of the Olympic Stadium is the territory of fanatical Roman fans, and the North Stand is the position of Lazio hardcore fans. At this moment, the game has not yet begun, but the Blue Eagles have already pulled a huge banner, but the slogan on it puts a lot of pressure on the Lazio players and coaches on the court.
"Either win or get out of here!"
This is obviously aimed at head coach Erickson. Since Erickson signed a contract to coach the England national team, his position in the eyes of Lazio fans has plummeted. If it hadn't been for the protection of Chairman Cranotti and the credit of winning the Serie A last season, he would have been out of the fans.
Erickson obviously also knows how serious the situation he is facing. Of course, he has no profit loss now, but as a world-renowned coach, he does not want to end up in this way. When he is not short of money and status, Erikson wants his professional students. Ya became more perfect, so he insisted on not resigning and wanted to draw a perfect end to Lazio.
"Yes, I will leave at the end of this season. I don't tell you all, but you are all professional players. You should understand that the game is not for me, but for yourself. If the team can't make it to the Champions League, what is waiting for you? Don't think you can go to your favorite team. I can I tell you responsibly that it is very difficult. You must play the rest of the game so that you can have a bright future..."
Erickson encouraged his players at the gate of the locker room, but the players were not as fierce as their original reaction. One had an indifferent expression. Only a few Erickson's confidants such as Peron showed a little excitement. They took the lead in applauding and tried to set up the atmosphere, but finally Lazi Ao's players just applauded perfunctorily.
Eriksson is very helpless. He did a lot of work before the game, but the effect is not good. People are dispersed. It is really difficult to lead the team. Now he can only expect these players to have a good professional attitude, otherwise the result may not be too ideal.
After the start of the game, Erickson's heart was slightly relieved. The first kick-off Lazio's players were very active and did not play negative games, while Inter Milan seemed to be dominated by the momentum of Lazio's players, mainly defensively, and did not have the crazy momentum of playing Parma in the first game. .
Assistant coach Mancini looked at Jiang Mu with a wry smile. He felt that the players would be so active. It may have been angered by this young but arrogant pre-match remarks. They were all young people. They were all players with a little fame and status. No one had any blood and was like this by a young man in front of his home. Provocation, and this young man has defeated himself. In this case, everyone can't help it. Not to mention that Eriksson is leaving, even if there is no head coach, Lazio's players will strive to win.
For the performance of the players, Mancini and Erickson have completely different feelings in their hearts. Of course, Erickson is happy, but Mancini's psychology is very complicated, with both happiness and a trace of disappointment, because he wants Erickson to be dismissed, so As an assistant coach, he has the hope of becoming a firefighting coach and showing his talent. In his opinion, he can coach alone, but he is inexperienced.
Jiang Mu was not anxious and surprised by the situation on the court. When arranging the starting line-up, he took this into account and sent two defensive midfielders to curb the opponent's attack. In response to Lazio's current situation, he adopted a post-emptive tactic and launched an attack when the opponent was exhausted.
Because after Lazio's head coach decided to leave, the defending champion no longer has the backbone and spirit. The one who relies on it is just the anger provoked by him. Once this anger passes, but they can't break through the door of Inter Milan, they may fall on the verge of collapse.
Of course, the backman also has some adventures, that is, whether it can block the opponent's attack. If the opponent breaks the goal and takes the initiative, it is not the backman, but the door is opened and stolen.
However, Jiang Mu has made full preparations for this. From the recent Lazio game, Jiang Mu clearly understands that Lazio's players lack of resilience, lack of concentration, a good game, and no continuity. This is mainly because Eriksson is sure to leave, but the new head coach has not yet arrived. The players are not sure about their future, and the team has lost their goals, which makes it difficult for them to devote all their energy to the game.
What's more, Chang'e No. 1 has a good analysis of Lazio's playing style and players for a long time, and has also simulated the most effective playing style. With such a full preparation to deal with a Lazio with less than 60% combat effectiveness for 20 or 30 minutes, Jiang Mu is still sure.
Another thing Jiang Mu was satisfied with, that is, after his last outburst, the referee committee sent Aylorti to enforce the game. Aylorti was the royal referee of Juve, and the later phone door also affected him. Jiang Mu also heard about him, but Jiang Mu believed in Aylor. Ti's law enforcement game will never be to deal with Inter Milan. Unlike the last game, Inter Milan is now facing the defending champion. Regardless of strength, ranking, and Juventus' fear, Lazio will rank above Inter Milan, so Jiang Mu believes that Aylorti was sent by Mogi to deal with Lazio. .
The fact of the game also proves this. In the cheers of more than 60,000 Blue Eagles fans, Lazio launched a fierce attack at the beginning. Inter Milan firmly controlled the backcourt in four defenders and two defensive midfields, using active rushes to detify Lazio's attack.
Originally, Lazio hoped to exchange a slam attack for a free kick in the front court. The free kick master Mihailovich scored and broke the deadlock, but the referee Ajorti's whistle was very loose. Some fouls that should be awarded a free kick in ordinary games were ignored by Ajorti here, but let Lazio The players and coaches feel helpless and speechless that Aylorti's law enforcement standards are very uniform, and the same is true for Inter Milan. Although the scale is the same, because Lazio dominates the attack, they have a greater chance of being violated in the front court than Inter Milan, so they have suffered a hidden loss, but they have suffered a hard time. Come out.
Soon the game played for 15 minutes. Lazio took the initiative, but he didn't get any points. He couldn't knock on the door of Inter Milan, and even there were not even many threatening shots. Inter Milan's few counterattacks made Lazio's back defense repeatedly.
Lazio's players were a little anxious to replace the coach. Eriksson frowned and didn't know what he was thinking. Assistant coach Mancini went to the sidelines and kept making gestures, asking the players to press forward and attack the left side of Inter Milan. In Mancini's opinion, there are a lot of players in the middle of Inter Milan, which is difficult to tear. Kai, it's better to look for opportunities from the side of Gresco, who has just transferred. If more passes can be formed from the side, the excellent ability to grab points and Salas, who has a strong impact, can play a role. Otherwise, these two strikers who can only grab points and will not break through are equivalent to a decoration.
However, Jiang Mu has also been prepared for Gresco's weakness for a long time. Sanetti played left-back to make up for Gresco's defense. In the case of Inter Milan's main defense, Sanetti has little attack. He, who is used to playing left-back, can completely make up for Gresco's mistakes and make Lazio's attack invisible.
In fact, the reason why Lazio's attack is delayed is related to the strict defense of Inter Milan and the decline in their own attack power, but also related to the characteristics of Lazio's attack.
In Lazio's midfielder, Peron, Stankovic and Nedved, these three people are very good at skills, but they are all players with rough skills. They do not take breakthroughs as the main technical feature. Peron can occasionally pass a scalpel-like straight plug, but he is better at passing the ball at medium and long distances. Instead of a small-scale pass-and-cutting, not to mention Nedvid and Stankovic, the technology is more rugged than Peron's. It's okay for them to shoot from a long distance, and it's hard for them to embroider.
With the technical characteristics of Lazio's midfielder, if you want to open Inter Milan's tight defense, you can only rely on long-range shots and sideline breakthrough passes. Inter Milan had been prepared for a long time. The striker actively came back to harass Lazio's midfielder. Vieri, who was replaced in the last 30 minutes, finally did not dare to slack off this time. He dragged his strong body back and forth. Although the speed was not fast, he ran from behind and was close to his body, and the ball was basically lost. To Peron, Such a slow player as Stankovic is still a threat, and Roby Kean has just got a chance to start and is more active in scoring. They make Lazio's midfield unbearable and difficult to concentrate on passing a good ball.
So Simic on the right side has become Lazio's life-saving straw. If the right side cannot be effectively broken through, they are likely to fall under the increasingly sharp counterattack of Inter Milan.
In the 17th minute of the game, Lazio failed to attack on the left, but Zanetti and Pirlo were attracted. When Lazio hit the ball in the middle, Dibianio came forward to defend, the wizard Peron suddenly passed the ball to the right side of Inter Milan.
Ironman Nedvid attracted Simic's defense, but passed the ball behind Simic. At this time, Lazio's left-back Favali had already assisted, quickly breaking through Simic two-one and passing the ball.
