Chapter 449 Italian National Derby

Since Monday, Inter Milan's training has been semi-closed, open in the morning and closed in the afternoon. In the face of strong teams, Jiang Mu mostly adopts this training method. Of course, Jiang Mu wants to close all of them, but now there are many fans who come to Apiano training base to watch the team's training, not only with great intentions. Local fans, as well as fans from Asia, Africa and America, many hardcore fans have a tight schedule. They may not have a chance to see the team's game, but if they can't see their beloved team training, it must be a great pity for them, so Jiang Mu took this compromise.

Although some media think that after leading the team for three months, Inter Milan's playing style and lineup are no secret, and it is not necessary to make the training so mysterious, for Jiang Mu, who has always liked the details, he has a chance to win if he can make his opponent wonder even one point.

Another reason why Jiang Mu takes closed training is that his opponent Ancelotti is not good at on-the-spot response, but is good at planning everything before the game to adapt to changes. For such a coach, the best way is to be unprepared.

As a former AC Milan midfielder, Ancelotti has the essence of Saki's defensive system and has a good understanding of Saki's flexible offensive tactics. But as a young commander, Ancelotti is still in the process of style transformation.

Zidane is unrestrained and free in the national team. When it comes to the club, it is completely different. It has the most talented attack line in the world: Zidane, Piero and Inzaghi. Ancelotti has repeatedly continued to be ugly 1-0, repeatedly becoming the target of the relegation team's points, and has been repeatedly bullied by second-class teams in the European arena. .

Although Juventus performed well in the confrontation with other teams of the "Seven Big Divisions", they lacked the wind of the king in front of the weak team and still insisted on the first place in defense. They drew in a row and were expanded by Roma.

After being called Anzhu by the fans, Ancelotti hopes to innovate, but in the rich family, there is a lot of pressure. If several experiments fail, Rome is gone. Lazio and Inter Milan are still chasing closely, which allows Ancelotti to continue the stable and conservative style he is best at.

With Jiang Mu's understanding of Ancelotti, Juventus will still not take risks in this game. Compared with winning and chasing Rome, losing is more unacceptable to Juventus.

Juventus is only one point away from Rome. Even if Roma wins the game, they will draw, and there will be 8 rounds left. As long as Roma makes a mistake, they can always surpass Roma. However, if they lose this game, there will be two opponents in the front, in the current magical state of Inter Milan. It is difficult to overtake it after being overtaken by them, so from any perspective, Jiang Mu believes that the conservative way that Ancelotti is used to playing is the norm.

As the competition approaches, the media's topic is also inseparable from the national derby between Inter Milan and Juventus. Major newspapers have predicted, revealed and analyzed it, so that the national derby really has the meaning of Mars hitting the earth.

The confrontation between Inter Milan and Juventus was officially called the "Italian Derby" or in the 1960s. At that time, Inter was in the "great international era", and Juventus was also the biggest competitor of the Nerazzurri. The lineup of both teams was extremely luxurious. Under the leadership of Herrera, Inter Milan won the Champions League twice and the Intercontinental Cup twice. At that time, Inter Milan was the representative of Italy in international competitions. Juventus is the most brilliant club in Italy. As of 1967, Juventus had won 13 top league titles and 5 Coppa Italia champions. Juventus and Inter Milan were the two most successful clubs in Italian football at that time. Therefore, the famous Italian journalist Brera invented the term "Italian Derby" and raised the feud between the two teams to the level of the whole country.

"Milan Sport" talks about the past and the present, explaining the national derby from various angles. "Milan Sport" believes that Juventus dominates in terms of historical record. In terms of player configuration and tacit understanding, Juventus is also better than Inter Milan, and Juventus also has home advantage. In terms of status, Juventus is not as good as Inter Milan. At the coaching level, Ancelotti is slightly inferior to Jiang Mu. Judging from the odds given by European gaming companies, Juventus and Inter Milan have the highest odds of a draw, while Juventus is looked up by the gaming company.

"Milan Sport" also analyzed the main and substitute lineups of Inter Milan and Juventus one by one, believing that Juventus' lineup is more luxurious and the configuration is more reasonable, but Ancelotti has not found a suitable style and lineup for Juventus superstars, and can't give full play to 100% of the players. Although Inter Milan is not as good as Juventus in the quality of the stars, under Jiang Mu's **, these players of Inter Milan can often play beyond the level. In the end, who will win the two teams depends on the players' on-the-spot performance.

Torino Sport regards Inter Milan as the biggest opponent of Juventus. Although Rome is still the leader and strong, Inter Milan has a stronger momentum and has the tendency to come to the top. If Juventus loses this game, it is likely to miss the championship, and Rome has recently shown a little fatigue. Juventus is slow-heated. As long as Inter Milan is suppressed, Juventus will definitely have a chance in the later period.

There is only one reason why the Republic is optimistic about Inter Milan's victory, that is, the head coach of Inter Milan is Jiang Mu, and the head coach of Juventus is Ancelotti. "A flock of sheep led by a lion will definitely defeat a group of lions led by a sheep." The Republic believes that Jiang Mu is the leading lion, and Ancelotti is the leading sheep.

Italian TV also held a pre-match fan vote to see the support rates of both sides. As a result, Inter Milan is far ahead. It seems that in recent days, Inter's stormy attack, plum blossom bamboo-like goals, and Jiang Mu's golden clinical command have captured most Serie A balls. Mysterious mind.

On January 14, Inter Milan left Milan for Turin and embarked on the journey of the national derby.

At Turin Airport, Inter Milan was attacked by radical Juventus fans, but the police were well prepared and did not let the Juventus fans succeed. But Inter Milan did not dare to stay at the airport, and even didn't say hello to Inter Milan's fans, so they hurried to the booked hotel.

Arriving at the hotel, Jiang Mu immediately held a press conference. At the press conference, Jiang Mu condemned the barbaric behavior of Juventus fans and expressed his views on the first national derby he participated in.

"I believe that the match between Inter and Juventus does not need to be discussed too much. This is an ongoing history and a great sports competition. Of course, it is a particularly important game for us. A team like Juventus is a great test for us. However, we are on the road to the championship. The players understand that this game is more meaningful and they are very positive.

"I'm sure that the players will work very hard on the field. The fierceness of this game will be beyond imagination. We play every game with the belief of victory, and it will be the same tomorrow night. I always think that the midfield is the most important core of any team, and so is this game. Of course, the offensive power of the front line is also very important. Against Juventus is one of our biggest tests this season. They have a home advantage, but we also have the means to win.

After holding the press conference, Jiang Mu unexpectedly did not let the players adapt to the field immediately, but directly let the players rest in the hotel. At about 8 p.m., he led the players to adapt to the field.

When Jiang Mu came back from the Alps Stadium with the players, several games held in advance were all over. As a result, Jiang Mu was very surprised, because Roma fell again, and they were tied 2:2 by the giant killer Perugia at home.

This is definitely a big surprise. When there are still eight rounds left in the league, every game is very important for the winning team that won the championship. In the face of Perugia, which is far weaker than itself, Roma actually failed. The 2:2 score also makes the gap between them and their competitors smaller and smaller. Juventus If they win this game, they can immediately overtake Rome to the top of the table again. If Inter Milan wins, there will be only one point gap between them and Rome. With 7 rounds left, Rome's advantage is almost zero in front of the aggressive Inter Milan.

In several other games, Lazio defeated Reggina 2:0, AC Milan defeated Udinese 3:0, Parma and Dark Horse Atlanta. Atlanta finally fell out. They were killed 0:1 by Parma and could only fight for a place in the Champions League without any other idea.

Roma's forced draw has a greater impact on Juventus. The victory can surpass Rome to reach the top of the table, and the draw can also equal Rome. Even if it is a loss, it is only one point away. It can be said that Rome's draw is simply cooperating with Juventus to attack Inter Milan, so that Ancelotti is more effective when platooning. It's alive.

The next morning, Ancelotti expressed his opinion on the reporter's inquiry. He said that he would not be affected by the match between Roma and Perugia. The lineup and starting lineup for Inter Milan were completed two days ago, and now Roma's draw can play an encouraging role at most.

However, Ancelotti also said that this is good news for Juventus. "This is the best time for us to win the championship. Although there is pressure to lead, the feeling of fate in his own hands will definitely be higher. At present, Juventus is in good condition. After the return of the wounded, Juventus' overall strength became stronger. But don't forget another opponent. Juventus must perform well in tomorrow's game, and we must maintain a sense of urgency. This will be a wonderful game. This game is crucial for the club and zebra fans.
