Chapter 551 Dessert Before the Season
After Juventus completed the acquisition of Thuram, the summer transfer has reached the late stage, and the training of the major teams has already begun. Even if there is another transfer, it will not be a big level, at most it will be a repair.
Although the Italian proverb says, "A victorious division does not need to be changed", Inter Milan obviously did not do this this season. Jiang Mu is still a high-profile strike in the transfer market. Although he does not gain as much as Juventus, he has not transferred out of a big-name star. Last season's super strength is still With the retention and the addition of new players, Inter Milan's strength is stronger than last season.
The arrival of Ronaldinho and Robben not only enriches the front line, but also strengthens the midfield. Both of them are fast and skilled players, especially Ronaldinho. His skills are amazing. Because he is Jiang Mu's old subordinate, there is no problem to integrate into Inter Milan. He is good at the strength of Inter Milan. The promotion will be very significant.
Concesan, the midfielder, is an excellent winger. He and Robben will give Inter Milan another tactical choice. If Jiang Mu is not ready to fight back defensively, Concesan, Pirlo and Sedorf will form the most technical midfielder in Serie A. They have a technical advantage against any team.
Cannavaro's joining on the defender line gives Inter Milan strong strength on the back line, which can completely make up for the departure of veteran Blanco. Cannavaro will form a combination of central defender with Materazzi, and Cordoba can play full-back. Simic is the golden oil on the back line. He is a flexible player in Jiang Mu's hand. Chess pieces.
Although Tordo and Frey are as strong in the goalkeeper position, Tordo is older and more stable, and when he plays supernormally, he will make his companions feel more assured.
Although Inter Milan has become stronger this season and has great strength to win again, because the strength of its main competitors has also been greatly improved, the road to defending the title is still bumpy and dangerous.
Although the Roma team did not change much because of the economic crisis and only bought goalkeeper Perizzoli, they did not transfer any big stars. After another season of running-in last season, the strong lineup will only be stronger.
The biggest threat was Juventus, the third place in the league last season. The old woman who worked hard was very active in the transfer market, and the team's meritorious coach Lippi "entered the palace". The team released the French midfielder Zidane at the "first day of the world" of 73.5 million euros. This money made them easily complete the transformation of the team. On the defensive line, they bought 23-year-old goalkeeper Buffon and 29-year-old French defender Turam from Parma. In the midfield, the team bought Lazio Club's Czech star Nedvid, in addition to the front line, Juventus has the world's top stars in both lines and goalkeeper positions, which can completely make up for the losses caused by Zidane's departure. In terms of overall combat effectiveness, it has been improved to a certain extent.
Lazio is a pre-season champion, and they ranked third last season. They let Nedvede go, but welcomed the national footballer Fiore. In addition, the arrival of Mendie Tower is enough to make people forget Peron's departure. In addition, Lazio has the best scorer Crispo last season on the front line, and his 26 goals last season are not lucky.
After playing the embarrassing role of "reading with the prince" for two seasons, AC Milan lay down and decided to make a comeback. This year, AC Milan once again stood at the forefront of the championship battle.
AC Milan has gained a lot in the transfer market. Although they did not get Pirlo and Ronaldinho, they invited the 29-year-old offensive organizer Rui Costa from the bankrupt Fiorentina, and also bought Juventus Italian international Inzaghi. In addition, the joining of Moreno and Contra, who performed well in the UEFA Cup and La Liga, has also greatly increased the choice of Milan's new head coach Trim.
The 47-year-old Trim's ability has been proved again. From the first few warm-up games of the season, it can be seen that his Milan has been reborn, and a new Milan dynasty has taken shape. AC Milan fans also reacted positively. So far, 40,000 season tickets have been run out, setting a new record.
Parma, who was defeated at the end of last season, let go of Buffon, Thuram and striker Amoruso, which has actually announced their withdrawal from the championship team. It seems a little reluctant for 24-year-old Hidetoshi Nakada, 21-year-old goalkeeper Frey, and 27-year-old Jietu who wanted to raise the flag to revive the wind from Rome.
Another strong team, Fiorentina, won the Coppa Italia championship last season, but because of the economic crisis, the stars Rui Costa, Bolano and Tordo were all sold off. The hope of winning the championship this season was dashed. It should be a great joy to get a place in the UEFA Cup, but a little big deal is enough. You can fall into the quagmire of relegation.
Among the remaining teams, Atlanta, Bologna, Brescia, Perugia and Udine have little hope of winning the championship, and there is no fear of relegation. It is estimated that they will not be able to escape the fate of the spectators. The four promoted teams, Chievo, Piacenza, Turin and Venice, as well as Lecce and Verona from the south, from the beginning of the season They will fight for relegation. For them, the Shenma champion, honor and money are all floating clouds, and survival is the king's way.
Inter Milan's training time this season is relatively late. When they come back, they will play the Moratti Triangle Cup. In the round robin with Lazio and Juventus, Inter Milan lost both games and lost this friendly championship.
However, the Moratti Cup is a friendly match that has only been held in recent years. It only takes 45 minutes, and the participating teams are just a friendly match. No one will care except Inter Milan. Losing this championship has no impact. Fans think that the game that really tests the team's strength is still the No. 18. Although the Italian Super Cup and the European Super Cup held on the 24th, although these two games are also regarded as friendly matches by major clubs, the weight is by no means comparable to the Moratti Cup. In addition to the rich bonus, the participating teams also attach great importance to it. After all, this is the championship recognized by both the Italian Football Association and UEFA. Army.
The Italian Super Cup is a traditional event. Last season's league champion vs. cup champion, and when there is a double champion, the league champion vs. cup runner-up. This competition has been held for the 14th time since 1988. AC Milan has won four trophies and Juventus
Wentus and Lazio followed twice, while Inter Milan only won the championship once. However, 12 years ago, in the meeting of the Italian Football Association in May this year, the Italian Football Association intended to hold the Super Cup in Japan to expand its influence, but it was opposed by major clubs. But it was not approved.
Although Inter Milan wants to win the club's second Italian Super Cup, Fiorentina is not extremely alert to Inter Milan. Cup champion Fiorentina only won the 9th place in the league last season. Even in the 1997 Super Cup, Vicenza ranked 8th in the league. However, Fiorentina also had companions. In 1991, Rome entered the Super Cup with the ninth place in the league. At that time, they were also typical dark horses and eventually lost to the league champion Sampdoria.
Last season, Fiorentina's strength was not good, and the summer transfer took the core Rui Costa, the main goalkeeper Toldo, and what's more, Fiorentina had no money to buy a replacement for these two people, which made Fioren's strength a big discount.
However, Jiang Mu did not dare to be careless. He is a newcomer to the Super Cup, and Fiorentina coach Mancini is the person who has participated in this event the most times. As a player, Mancini has participated in the Super Cup four times and twice on behalf of Sampdoria and Lazio respectively, and won two championships.
Fiorentina is good at creating miracles in this event. In the case of the league champions defeating the cup champion in the first eight Super Cups, the Purple Legion defeated AC Milan 2-1 in 1996 and rewrote this history. Capello can't realize his dream of a four-degree Super Cup.
If the Moratti Triangle Cup can only be regarded as a friendly match, the Italian Super Cup is a dessert before the start of Serie A. It is an exam to test the strength of the defending champion. Fans, media and other clubs use this game to observe how far Jiang Mu's Inter Milan can go this season. To what extent.
At this moment, it has been almost three weeks since Inter Milan's training. The current Inter Milan and the one playing the Moratti Cup are in a completely different state. The outside media are optimistic that Inter Milan will win the Super Cup.
"Milan Sport" said that this Super Cup is the most disparity in strength. There is almost no suspense about the victory. Inter Milan is almost sure to win the championship. The only thing that can make the game have a little suspense is that the World Cup qualifying round has just ended. Inter Milan, where the international players are gathered, are deeply affected, but Fiorentina has few players. Participation, the FIFA virus has little impact on them.
Roma Sport believes that there is no suspense about the outcome of this game. The focus of this game is the starting lineup and style of Inter Milan. Now it is getting closer and closer to the opening of the league. Inter Milan is likely to experiment with the lineup in this game to prepare for the upcoming league. Inter Milan's lineup has changed a lot in the recent warm-up matches, and so far no one has been able to fully understand Jiang Mu's idea.
Fiorentina's head coach Mancini kept a low profile before the game. He said that it was just a warm-up match. After a disastrous economic crisis, Fiorentina has no goal to win the championship this season except relegation. Even in the Super Cup, they do not have this extravagant. Mancini also compliments Inter Milan as the only super overlord in Serie A. No team can really threaten Inter Milan's dominance this season. If Inter Milan has any weaknesses, it is that their goals this season are too big, and the third-line battle will test Inter Milan's real strength.
And Inter Milan is bound to win this game. Jiang Mu made it clear before the game that Inter Milan will not let go of any champion. No matter who the opponent is, Super Cup champion Inter Milan has not tasted it for 12 years. Now is the time for Inter Milan to be in good condition. He won't let the fans of Inter Milan have any regrets.
