Chapter 536 00 to 01 Season Finale
On the evening of May 17th, Italian local time, the Italian Serie A in the 2000-2001 season was settled. Inter Milan, who won the championship one round earlier, defeated the relegated Bari at home and won the league championship with 21 consecutive wins and 81 points. With 14 points ahead of Inter Milan, Rome was robbed of the championship by Inter Milan, which can be said to be extremely difficult.
The defending champion Lazio lost 1:2 to Lecce in the last round, ranking third with the champion by 7 points. The last Champions League ticket belonged to Juventus. After the old woman defeated Atlanta in the last round, she steadily pressed Parma under her.
AC Milan lost the last round to Regina, who fought for relegation. But his ally Juventus also defeated Atlanta, and AC Milan still had a chance to appear in Europe, but from the UEFA Champions League to the UEFA Cup. The other two League Cup places were won by Parma and Fiorentina, the champion of the Coppa Italia.
In the relegation war, Naples, which was originally in a good situation, had 36 points in their hands. As long as they win, they could be relegated. They don't need to look at other people's faces. Even if they draw, there is hope to play play play-offs with other teams, but they lost 1:2 to Fiorentina, because the other two 34-point Reggies. Both Na and Verona won. As a result, Naples, who lost with 36 points, and Vicenza, who won with 33 points, were unfortunately relegated. The last relegation will be decided after the play-offs between Reggina and Verona.
Two years later, Milan ushered in another carnival. This time, another group of Milanese participated in the carnival. The group of fans who celebrated on the street the year before last can only watch the fans of the rival team repeat their carnival last year. Inter Milan won the Serie A championship again after 11 years, and Milan City once again became the football center of the Apennine Peninsula in the 2000/2001 season. After two seasons of baptism, the original pattern of "seven heroes competing for hegemony" in Serie A has gradually evolved into a pattern of "North-South confrontation".
With the strength of Inter Milan, it is actually a favorite to win the championship every season, but it is obviously beyond everyone's surprise that Inter Milan won the championship this season, because Inter Milan's coach has changed three times this season, and it is still 14 points behind Roma during the winter break. However, in the end, Inter Milan won 21 games in a row and surpassed Roma by 6 points. Winning the championship is really stunning.
In addition to the shocking performance of Inter Milan, the promoted Atlanta's seventh place also surprised fans, journalists and other football players.
Before the season, not many people were optimistic about the promotion, because there were no eye-catching new stars in the team except for the already outdated striker Gunz and the unstable ventola. But after one season, Atlanta's progress is obvious. At the beginning of the season, he once occupied the top of the standings. Although his stamina was a little insufficient, he finally won the qualification for the International Toto Cup. In addition to excellent results, a group of new stars in Atlanta have also grown up. In addition to the Zenoni brothers who were once selected to the Italian national team, goalkeeper Pelizzoni became one of the best goalkeepers in Serie A this season with his excellent performance, and left midfielder Doni also left a deep impression.
Another surprising team is Barry. This season is the fourth consecutive year that Barry has played in Serie A. Due to their limited strength, Barry can only aim at relegation, and they can complete the task of relegation every time. In recent years, the biggest problem for the Barry team is the lack of a front-line killer. This season, they have the "first star in Serie A" Cassano. The road to relegation can be said to be bright. As a result, Cassano's name is not true this season, and he has only scored 3 goals in the whole season. Barry's attack is still not good. What's worse is that they don't even have a solid defense in the past, and they don't have a decent organization in the midfield. Daniel Anderson's performance is also disappointing. In the past, Barry has gained a foothold in the league with a good home record, but their home performance this season is only poor. 5 wins, 2 draws and 10 losses; the away game is even more unwin, losing 14 games. With such a bad performance, there is no chance to turn over after becoming the "deputy monitor", and there is no hope of relegation five rounds in advance, which is both regrettable and surprising.
The most regrettable thing is that Roma, after two seasons of carefulness**, Capello finally shaped Rome into a steel master. 12 wins and 5 draws at home, and 10 wins, 4 draws and 3 losses away from home are enough to prove the strength of Roma. Capello, who has always been known for his conservatism, has been playing offensive football this season. The Italian football world, which has dominated Juventus and AC Milan for many years, has also given fans a refreshing feeling. This Rome's results and drift Liang took into account that without Jiang Mu's lightning to join, the king of Serie A this season could only be Rome, but Jiang Mu's appearance changed everything. The 21 consecutive victories defeated Rome's confidence. In the end, Rome could only be the runner-up with great regret.
The most disappointing thing is undoubtedly AC Milan. As the five-time Champions League winner and the absolute king of 16 Serie A championships, AC Milan's depravity this season is annoying. The 0:5 defeat in the friendly match with Real Madrid II at the beginning of the season indicates that AC Milan will experience another uneven Season. Throughout the season, the only thing that made them excited was the elimination of Barcelona in the first stage of the Champions League group stage, and the historic 6:30 victory in the history of the match against Inter Milan in the first division, but then they were eliminated early in the Champions League and slaughtered by Inter Milan by 7 goals in the league. In the end, they can only play the UEFA Cup, which also makes AC Milan's fans unable to comfort themselves in any way.
However, looking at Inter Milan, it is not difficult for AC Milan to achieve such a ranking. Except for Shevchenko, other players are not satisfactory. The defense line is facing the problem of aging. Maldini is still trustworthy, but it is an indisputable fact that the state is going downhill; Costakuta can't do it, but he has to stick to his post. Several rookies in the midfield group were expected to be high, but judging from their performance this season, they are still too young to play the role of Boban and Leonardo in the past. Redondo could have played a major role in such a situation, but unfortunately, he did not play once due to injury after joining with 14 million pounds. The front line is completely a one-man show by Schevchenko, and Bierhoff, Jose Mali and Komantini are just useless supporting roles. With such a lineup, no matter how high the goal is, it is unrealistic, and we can only play the League Cup next season. Whether there will be a new performance next season depends on the ability of the new coach Trim and which new stars to buy.
The biggest news of this season is undoubtedly that Inter Milan won the championship 14 points behind the top of the list and changing three coaches in a row. However, Inter Milan can win such a miracle. In addition to Jiang Mu's magic **, it is also related to the downturn of defending champion Lazio and old woman Juventus.
Two people are to blame for Lazio's failure to defend their title: one is former coach Eriksson. After getting the appointment letter of the England national team, he was obviously distracted, causing the team to lose in the league and Champions League in the first half of the season; the other is Chairman Caganotti, who did not change the coach in time. . If Zoff had taken over the whip from Eriksson earlier, it would have been much more difficult for Inter Milan to win the championship. In terms of comprehensive strength, Lazio is the strongest in Serie A.
Juventus may not be able to say that they are in a downturn. They are too stable. The ball that should win is won, the ball that should be lost, and the ball that should be lost is tied. Ancelotti, who adheres to the 1:0 principle, has not fully formed his own style of play, and he can't judge the situation of the league. The main energy was used to prevent the two heroes of Rome, ignoring Inter Milan. When Inter Milan caught up, in the face of the aggressive Inter Milan, Juventus did not have the courage to let go. After finally being surpassed by Inter Milan, there was no way to catch up, because Inter Milan did not catch up. A glimmer of opportunity.
Inter Milan won the championship one round ahead of schedule, so after the end of the last round, Inter Milan's defeat of Bologna is not the focus of news, but the post-match reports of the Italian media dare not miss Inter Milan. Everyone knows that the current Inter Milan is hot and can attract a lot of attention.
Milan Sport commented after the last round: "Inter Milan ranked fourth last season. The club spent more than 100 million to recruit and buy horses to prepare for the championship this season. However, just at the beginning of the season, Inter Milan lost the Champions League, and the head coach Lippi was fired in the second round, and then a lot of money was invited. Tardelli had another toss, but in the end, he ushered in several humiliating big scores and defeats. The result of only ranked 11th made Moratti feel sad. Finally, he paid a lot of money for the magical Chinese coach Jiang as the team's new coach. Jiang said on his first day in office that he would win at least one championship. This sentence was considered to be an idiot. Dream, in the end, the fans found that Inter Milan won 21 games in a row under the leadership of Jiang, and the dream come true.
La Gazzetta dello Sport also reported that Inter Milan won 21 consecutive victories over Bologna 4:2, but only one tofu was given, the focus was on the Champions League seat and relegation battle, as well as the crash between Inter Milan and AC Milan fans at the championship celebration.
The report of "Torino Sport" also focused on the collisions in the relegation war and the celebration of winning the championship, especially in the crash, the Turin reporter revealed a sour taste inside and outside, satirizing Inter Milan's villain's ambition, but stealing a champion, he violently provoked AC Milan, and as a result was The violence of Lan fans is also self-inflict.
Torino Sport also said that Inter Milan should not be satisfied with their current results. They should strive to play in the Champions League. In addition to the great regret that they have not had the Champions League for more than 30 years, they should also fight for the face of Serie A.
The words of "Torino Sport" seem to encourage Inter Milan to climb the peak again. In fact, it is a senior black. Inter Milan has little UEFA Champions League trophies and has not won the Serie A honor. This honor is related to the allocation of the Champions League.
The league is over, and the miracle of Inter Milan will certainly be recited by the media and fans for a long time, but for Inter Milan players and coaches, everything is over, and a new season is waiting for them.
