Chapter 554 European Super Cup

Inter Milan and Bayern, who participated in the European Super Cup final, can be regarded as the first-tier giants, but for various reasons, both teams have never won the Super Cup.

Since 1972, although Bayern Munich has knocked to the Super Cup six times, it has not succeeded. Now Bayern's team lacks offensive organizer Effenberg, but Bayern Munich's desire for the championship has not decreased at all. Before the game, it went from club chairman Beckenbauer to head coach Sisfield. De, down to the fans, all expressed their determination to win the Super Cup.

Inter Milan, who has also not won the Super Cup, is also bound to win this championship. Although they are only the champions of the UEFA Cup, not the same level as the Champions League champions, Inter Milan is not at a disadvantage in all aspects.

In terms of historical record, Inter Milan and Bayern Munich have played against each other twice in history. In the UEFA Europa League in the 1988-1989 season, Inter Milan lost 1-3 at home to Bayern Munich. In Munich, Inter Milan won 2-0 away. Inter Milan has played against the German team 31 times in history, with a record of 18 wins, 6 draws and 7 losses. Bayern Munich played a total of 18 games against the Italian team, with a record of 5 wins, 3 draws and 10 losses. It can be said that the Italian team is a bit of a German team.

From the history of the Super Cup, so far, in the three games to be won or lost, the European champion team has lost. In terms of the overall record, the results of the UEFA Cup champion are also better than the Champions League champions. It can be said that Inter Milan has a certain psychological advantage in the Super Cup finals.

In terms of the strength of the team, although Inter Milan is the champion of the UEFA Cup, because Jiang Mu coached, Inter Milan can only play the UEFA Cup. If they play the Champions League, it is still a question whether Bayern has any hope of winning the championship, and whether Inter Milan has the strength to win the Champions League is also many fans and media, even Professionals are very interested in questions, and now the European Super Cup will give them an answer.

At noon the next day, the head coaches of Inter Milan and Bayern attended the press conference hosted by UEFA. However, at the press conference, the two head coaches did not talk much about the Super Cup, but more about the just-concluded UEFA Champions League draw. However, this is not to say that the two head coaches don't care about the Super Cup, but that they are not willing to reveal too much information about the game. They are not young men. Although Jiang Mu is not old, he is also a champion coach. He knows the strength of his opponent and knows the truth that more words must be lost, so in addition to some questions asked by reporters. Let's talk about the other problems.

However, the starting list provided by the two teams before the game exposed the two coaches' desire for the championship, and Bayern almost sent the starting lineup for the Champions League final except for the injured players. Inter Milan is also an elite. Even entry-level fans can see that the two teams do not regard the Super Cup as a chicken rib or warm-up match, but as a real final.

On August 24, fans from all over the world focused on the Louis II Stadium in Monaco, where the European Champions Cup champion Bayern Munich and UEFA Cup champion Inter Milan will decide the champion of Europe last season.

At 8:45 p.m., Portuguese referee Vitor Berera came out of the locker room with two champion teams with a ball in his hand.

Bereira, who started working as a football referee in 1992, has so far served as the law enforcer of 71 international competitions, including the 1998 World Cup in France and the 2000 European Championship in the Netherlands and Belgium. However, Vitor Berera has not enforced the European Super Cup, which is Portugal. It was the first time for people to host this event.

When the players of both sides shake hands, exchange team flags and emblems, and take a group photo, the on-site commentator is also introducing and analyzing today's starting lineup of both sides to the fans:

Bayern: goalkeeper: Kahn, defender: Kuvre, Anderson, Link, Lizarazu, midfielder: Salihamižić, Sforza, Hagreaves, Yeremes, striker: Erbo, Sauer

Inter Milan: goalkeeper Toldo, four defenders: Sanetti, Cannavaro, Materazzi, Simic; three midfielders Pirlo, Dibianio, Farinos, three strikers Robben, Ronaldinho, Ronaldo.

......

Bayern and the Champions League have only two differences in terms of personnel, that is, the absence of captain Effenborg and Haginas. They are replaced by Sforza and Hargreaves, but the formation has changed from 352 to 442. It seems that Heathfield is also very afraid of Inter Milan and dares not use the three-back formation. Instead, four defenders were placed in the backcourt...

Bayern's formation and starters have been tested in the Champions League. There is no need to say more. The fans are also very clear about the advantages and disadvantages of this starting and formation. Next, we will focus on Inter Milan's starting lineup. Today, the most surprising thing for Inter Milan is that it has discharged the 3R combination on the front line, Robben, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, this is the first time that these three geniuses have appeared in a formal game occasion. From a technical point of view, these three strikers are definitely higher than Bayern's two strikers, but these three players have never played together. Can they cooperate tacitly? We can only say that Jiang Mu dares to take risks. In the midfield, Jiang Mu adopts a combination of two defensive midfields and a technical midfield. It should be said that it is mainly a steady defensive counterattack. The League Cup champion wins the Champions League, and the defensive counterattack tactics are not too much...

... The game has begun... Now let's watch the game first... The first kickoff is Bayern, and Inter Milan fights back..."

After the kick-off, Bayern didn't seem to be excited enough, as if they hadn't woken up from vacation. As soon as the ball was passed to the front court at their feet, it was shoveled to Pirlo by the active Farinos. Pirlo directly passed to the side to find Ronaldinho.

Although Pirlo made a long pass at the front of the penalty area, the ball found Ronaldinho like a precision guided weapon, and Ronaldinho also showed his superman skills to the world fans. He lightly removed the ball with his chest and half turned to Ronaldo in the middle without waiting for the ball to land. A ball from behind him.

Ronaldo also immediately made the Bayerns realize why he was called an alien. He started about five meters behind his opponent's defenders Anderson and Link, while Anderson and Link had not turned around. Ronaldo had surpassed them, and even did not even leave a chance to foul the Germans.

However, Kahn, the last patron saint of Bayern, stood up at this time. He stood at the end and observed the situation very clearly. He predicted in advance that his defender would not do it. He immediately attacked bravely and cleared the ball on the penalty area line.

Inter Milan's counterattack was a reminder to Bayern Munich, but Bayern Munich is in a very poor state. The Super Cup is like a spell for the Germans. Not only did Bayern fail six times, but Bremen, Hamburg and Dortmund also failed in this event. The Germans have not won the trophy so far, which makes people It feels a little incredible.

In the fourth minute of the game, Pirlo made a long pass from the backcourt again. Dutch Peter Pan Robben quickly got rid of Kufor and put in the left side and made a strong pass. Ronaldo in the middle could not grab this extremely fast pass. The goalkeeper Kahn did not dare to take the ball. The ball flew back, and the Bayern defender Lizarazu reacted. Soon, he shoveled the ball out of the bottom line in front of Ronaldinho.

After playing for five minutes in the game, although Bayern controlled the ball, it could not threaten Inter Milan's goal, but Inter Milan's two counterattacks caused a great threat. Although Inter Milan did not have one shot, if it hadn't been for Bayern's goalkeeper and defender's timely relief, Inter Milan would have been twice. It pierced their goal.

In the 7th minute, Bayern finally had a chance to shoot, but Bayern Swiss midfielder Sforza's shot was high and biased, which made Inter Milan fans in the stands laugh.

After ten minutes of the game, Bayern's condition was slightly better, but it was still unable to solve the loss caused by Effinger's absence. In this game, Heathfield tried to solve the midfield problem with a "two" strategy, using Sforza and Hargreaves to replace Effinger, and Sfza was responsible for the attack. Hargreaves focuses on defense, but both of them are disappointing. Sforza can't organize attacks, and Hargreaves can't act as a barrier, making Bayern, the Champions League champion, look chaotic and impetuous in front of Inter Milan, the champion of the League Cup, just like a high-grade team.

Heathfield and Jiang Mu sit firmly in the coach's seat with great general demeanor. They seem to be confident about the situation on the court, but it can be seen from Heathfield's frown from time to time that the champion coach is not calm.

The formation discharged by Jiang Mu was beyond Heathfield's surprise. The two wingers Ronaldinho and Robben plus Ronaldo, such a combination of counterattack is terrible. Because the back line is too high, it gives Ronaldo a fast and powerful striker with great room to play, even if Heathfield With the combination of four defenders, it can't resist the impact of three strikers with excellent speed and technology. Bayern wants to change the current predicament unless they also fight back in the backcourt. However, Bayern does not have a player to fight back, and the defense will be worse, which makes Heathfield a headache.

Ten minutes later, as Bayern's condition recovered a lot, the two teams had few opportunities. Bayern had a chance to fight back, but Dibbino ended Bayern's attack with a yellow card.

In the 23rd minute of the game, he saw that he had entered the stalemate stage. At this time, the young Hargreaves inserted the ball forward and saw Sauer running position. Hargreaves wanted to pass the ball to Sauer, but Pirlo predicted the passing route of Hargreaves, grabbed the ball, and then passed it directly to Ronaldinho. Ronaldinho made a successful cross from the right after the offside. Ronaldo plugged in at high speed and scored in front of goalkeeper Kahn. Inter Milan unexpectedly took the lead 1-0.

Applause!

Shouting like a tide!

Inter Milan's counterattack used a three-legged pass, which stunned the Bayern fans and made Inter Milan fans happy.
