Chapter 470 Facing the Old Lord
The focus of the 28th round of Serie A is the Roma derby.
The derby between Rome and Lazio should be said to be a model of the "brother battle" in the same city. The two teams are not only the fans, but also the club owner is a sworn match.
The game between Rome and Lazio has never lacked highlights. Whether it is red cards, violence, riots or the death of fans in the game, it fully explains the historical grudges of the two teams. Some media believe that the city war in Rome is much more likely to turn into a fight than the two sides to present a classic for the fans.
The Roma derby this season is obviously better than ever. It turns out that the Roma have been suppressed by Milan and Juventus, and there is no chance to get the championship. Last season, Lazio successfully broke through the ice and won the Serie A championship. This season, Rome has been at the top of the list for a long time, and there is no chance of winning the Serie A championship. Little, Lazio has not fallen. They are now ranked third, three minutes away from Rome.
The battle of Derby is also related to the ownership of the champion, which adds a bit of gunpowder to the already popular Roman derby.
Of course, the match between Inter Milan and Brescia is also eye-catching, not because of the strength of the two teams, but because Brescia has Robert. The existence of Baggio and Pirlo.
Baggio is one of the few superstars who has played for Juventus, AC Milan and Inter Milan. In Inter Milan, it is the last stop of Baggio's career in a rich family. He could have retired here, but because Lippi joined Inter Milan, Baggio had to leave the Nerazzurri, and Lippi drove him away. Baggio, who didn't like it, did not end well at Inter Milan. After being eliminated in the Champions League qualifiers, he also left Inter Milan in frustration. Later, Baggio's success in being promoted to Brescia also let the media and fans know that Lippi's failure at Inter Milan was because he drove away Baggio.
Brescia is the starting point of Pirlo's football career. He was born in Ferrero, a small town in Brescia, Italy. He first played for Brescia. In the 1994-95 season, Pirlo, who was only 16 years old and 2 days old, tasted the Serie A debut in the away game against Regiana in Brescia. Wei, playing the front waist position, Pirlo and Baggio have fought side by side. Baggio is Pirlo's mentor in football skills.
The melancholy prince Baggio faced his old club Inter Milan. Pirlo returned to his hometown to challenge his old club Brescia. This is already two gimmicks. What's more, it happens to be a critical moment for Inter Milan to catch up with Rome. If Rome can't beat Lazio, and Inter Milan defeats Brescia, then the international Milan can be at the top of the table for the first time this season. And if Inter Milan can't defeat Brescia, they may be left behind by Roma and even lose the chance to compete for the championship.
The game was held on the evening of the 29th. In the morning, the Inter Milan bus arrived in Brescia.
Brescia is also a city in northern Italy. At the southern end of the valley in the southern foothills of the Alps, next to the water city of Milan, the city has a population of only 200,000, but most of the residents are fans of Brescia Club, and the Rigamonti Stadium, which can accommodate 27,000 people, has been almost full in the past two seasons.
However, Brescia and Inter Milan have a good relationship. When Inter Milan's bus arrived, not only did no fans come to provoke, but also fans of Pirlo and alien Ronaldo came to present flowers and ask for autographs. Pirlo is a Brescia, that's all, Rona. Erdo is so popular that it also makes other stars of Inter Milan feel the strength of Ronaldo's charm.
Although Ronaldo has just returned to the team for five days, Jiang Mu still brought him to Brescia and is likely to give Ronald a little more chance to play.
Jiang Mu did this not only because it was difficult for Brescia to play and wanted to bring Ronaldo to put a little pressure on the home team, but also because on August 31, 1997, Ronaldo, who had just transferred to Inter Milan in the summer, staged his Serie A debut against Brescia. Jiang Mu hopes to give Ronaldo a good At the beginning, it also gave its team a good win. In that game, Inter Milan beat Brescia 2-1 with Rekoba's goal.
In the morning, Inter Milan did not adapt to the venue, but stayed in the hotel to rest. In the afternoon, Inter Milan went to the Monti Stadium in Riga to inspect the stadium, adapt to the venue, and did a lot of intense training.
After the training, Jiang Mu and Pirlo held a press conference in the hotel.
At the press conference, Jiang Mu has always been the protagonist, but today Jiang Mu didn't talk much and didn't steal the limelight of Pirlo.
Jiang Mu is mainly to relieve the pressure on the players. Now the media is constantly hyping up the importance of this game and regards this game as a key necessity for Inter Milan to catch up with Rome, which makes Jiang Mu worried that it will affect the players' performance.
"There are many strong teams that Rome and we will meet later. There are many variables in the championship competition. This game does not determine the ownership of the championship. I hope you don't have to care about it and treat it as an ordinary game. However, we will definitely try our best to win."
Jiang Mu also denied the rumored "Baggio's Law". "I don't believe in any rules. Baggio is a great player, and his state can be maintained for two years. If I were in Inter Milan, he would definitely not leave. He remained undefeated in the team he played for, which only shows that his old club did not perform well. Instead of saying that this law is universal, in this round, Baggio's law will not work. If you don't believe it, just go and see.
After Jiang Mu's speech, the press conference became a place for Pirlo to catch up with his hometown reporters.
Pirlo said affectionately: "Brescia is my hometown. I joined Brescia when I was 13 years old. I learned how to become a professional player here. I will always love the fans here and here. Although I had a good time at Inter Milan, I still retain the idea of retiring in Brescia, and I am willing to contribute more to the club I started with. I'll talk about it again in a few years.
Regarding this game, Pirlo said: "Baggio is a great player. He can improve the strength of a team. Brescia became very strong after Baggio joined. In the first round of the match, they drew us 0:0. Now they are more adaptable to Serie A, and it must be more troublesome to play. But we have no choice but to beat Brescia, even if I want both teams to win three points.
After praising Baggio, Pirlo talked about the old coach Mazoni and Brescia striker Hubner, "We can't just keep our eyes on Baggio. Baggio is a world-class player, but he alone can't let a promoted horse stand in the table. In terms of position, Hubner is also a great player. He has scored 14 goals, which is very rare for a 34-year-old veteran. In addition, although the coach Mazoni has not won many championships, he has his own experience in the ** middle and lower reaches of the team. I think there are three kinds of coaches, one is suitable for leading rich families and the other is suitable for leading the middle and lower reaches of the team. Coach Mazzoni is the second kind, and the third kind of coach is Jiang Mu.
Pirlo finally did not forget to praise his head coach Jiang Mu, and Jiang Mu has achieved amazing results whether he leads Inter Milan or loser Alkmaar. Pirlo's praise is not meaty.
In the face of his old boss, veteran Baggio couldn't hide his excitement. He said, "I have spent very unforgettable years in all three clubs. For me personally, it may be more painful to leave Inter Milan, because I am a little old, my mind is relatively mature, and the club is particularly friendly when breaking up, so that scene is the most difficult for me to forget, or a faint pain.
At this time, Baggio also talked about Baggio's law and Jiang Mu's comments. He said, "Baggio's law is indeed hype. As a Buddhist believer, I think part of what Jiang Mu said is reasonable. Accident is actually cause and effect. I am invincible to the old master. It may be fate, not a state."
When asked about his views on the situation of winning the championship, Baggio also stood on Inter Milan's side: "I think Inter Milan will win the championship. Their strength is very strong. Their opponents in the next few rounds are slightly weaker than Roma, and now Ronaldo has returned, which is a great help to their front line. More importantly, Jiang Mu is very lucky. The champion needs luck.
The game started at 6:30 p.m. Previously, the most concerned thing was whether the aliens would play and whether it was possible to start. According to the general rules, Ronaldo could not start, but Jiang Mu can't watch it from the eyes of ordinary people, so many Ronaldo fans are looking forward to Ronaldo's appearance. In the starting lineup.
However, two hours before the game, Inter Milan's starting lineup came out, and Ronaldo was not among them. To the fans' relief, Ronaldo appeared in the substitute lineup, that is to say, there is a possibility of playing.
In the face of a giant like Inter Milan, the court is full of fans early in the morning, and the commentators are analyzing the starting lineup to the fans to warm up for the upcoming game.
At 6:30, with the whistle of the referee, the match between Inter Milan and Brescia began.
Inter Milan still has a more aggressive 442 formation on the road today, instead of a more conservative Christmas tree formation, goalkeeper Frey, four defenders Cimich, Sanetti, Materazzi and Cordoba, four midfielders, Pirlo, Dibianio, Dalma, Sidov, and double striker Rekobavi. Eric.
Brescia's lineup is 3-5-2, goalkeeper Castellgia, three-back Petruchi, Caroli, Bonilla, five midfielders A Filippini, F Filippini, Ilana, Jonti, Susi, strikers: Hubner and Robert. Baqiao.
