Chapter 592 Fight against Leverkusen

Rome drew with Inter Milan at the last moment, which is definitely a gratifying thing for Serie A. Now Inter Milan is in full shape and is about to get rid of all its competitors. Rome drew with Inter Milan, keeping the gap between Inter Milan and Inter at 7 points, while Juventus Ben The game defeated Parma 3:1, narrowing the gap between Inter and Inter Milan to 8 points. Although it is still far away, it is no longer out of reach.

The suspense of the Serie A champion is still there. The giants still hope to pull down Inter Milan. The enthusiasm of fans to watch the game will not be reduced, and the sponsors' investment will not reduce profits. Even Inter Milan is not without any gains at all. They also pulled the point gap with the second place Chevo from 4 points under the condition of being forced to draw. It's as big as 5 points. This is also the only gain of Inter Milan in this draw.

The league has passed anyway. Even if it is a draw, Inter Milan still has a huge lead. Now the most important thing for Inter Milan is the next Champions League group match against Leverkusen.

Inter Milan has always attached importance to the beginning. Jiang Mu often repeats a sentence that "a good beginning is half of success". This is also the essence of Jiang Mu's coaching, that is, to seize the initiative. Only by playing a good start can you master the initiative, flexibly choose tactics, and mobilize opponents.

Many Inter Milan players and fans don't care about Leverkusen. Like most Italian fan critics, they think that the Bundesliga is a half-eye team, Bayern is that, Dortmund is the other, and the rest are second-rate in Europe. If you want stars, there are no stars, and there are no tactics. It is just relying on a strong body and so-called Germany to bully the weak brigade.

But Jiang Mu doesn't think so. Look at Leverkusen's lineup: Bout/Sebeitzen, Juan, Placent, Lamellow, Schneider, Basturk, Babić, Burdarić, Neuville, Kirsten, Berbatov, Zeloberto...

Now it seems that it is not famous enough, but a few years later, Barak, Basturk, Berbatov, Zeroberto, Bute, Neuville, Kirsten, Schneider and others have grown into the world's first-tier stars, and Barak has become a superstar.

Topmuller, the head coach of Leverkusen, is flexible in tactics and governs the army rigorously. After he coached, Leverkusen changed the formation on the basis of 442, 451 against the strong team, and 442 or even 352 when the home or knockout match needs to be reversed.

The goalkeeper Bute is good at serving penalty kicks. The centre-back is headed by the old captain Novotoni and the defensive all-rounder Zivkovic, a Croatian defender with good assist ability. The right-back is the glassman Sebezen, who turned from Wolf Castle. He took turns to assist on the right and Schnyder. The left-back is Argentine Placent, and the defense is also stable.

At the back is a blonde Ramilao, and the defensive tackle is very fierce. When Novotney is in a bad state, Ramilao can also play the central defender. Zeloberto and Schneider are separated from each other. Zeloberto's assists and breakthroughs are very strong. Schneider's skills and experience of free kicks are quite good. In addition to the right avant-back, he can also play right-back when Sebezen assists.

Central avant-garde Barak is the core of the pharmaceutical factory. Heading and long-range shots are Ballack's main scoring method. Turkish Basturk transferred from Bochum and showed his delicate foot ripple skills and passing ability. The sharp knife of the front line is the little Neuville and Berbatov. The veteran Kirsten is mainly a substitute because of his age, but he has repeatedly scored key goals in the league and the Champions League and is a reliable scorer.

If from the perspective of strength and fame, Inter Milan is stronger than this Bundesliga team in any aspect, but football is not a simple way to add and subtract. Playing such a team that is not well-known, but its strength is absolutely not weak, anything can happen. There is no unexpected game only a gap in strength. There is a huge gap between teams.

Therefore, Jiang Mu didn't dare to be careless at all. He even kept a hand when playing against a team like Rome for the purpose of this Champions League match.

Of course, Jiang Mu wants to change the idea of Inter Milan's players to underestimate the enemy, but Leverkusen's apparent strength is like this. No matter what Jiang Mu says, it will not have much effect. Jiang Mu can't tell the players, "You are facing a team that has the ability to reach the Champions League finals." Only later, people Only then will we find that La Coruna and Leverkusen in this group are both fucking super teams, so what Jiang Mu can do is to make all the preparations before the game.

Inter Milan's players don't pay enough attention to it ideologically, but they don't dare to be lazy at all in training. Jiang Mu's punishment is very severe for lazy players, and the fine is secondary, mainly to prevent the game. No matter how big a star you are, as long as you don't work hard in training, you will sit on the bench in the next game and don't correct it. If so, just sit on the bench.

Before the game, Jiang Mu expressed his respect for the leader of the Bundesliga. He told the media that Leverkusen is a strong team with many talented players in the team. Head coach Top Mueller is well versed in coaching the art. This game is an important adjustment for Inter Milan. Although it is a group stage, the current group stage and outside The group stage is completely different. In the group stage, Inter Milan has qualified two rounds ahead of schedule. This scene will not be repeated in the official group stage. Inter Milan is ready to play hard.

Under Jiang Mu's emphasis, other players of Inter Milan had the same caliber in the interview, and there was no nonsense. Even Ronaldo and the youngest Robben said it in an interview with the media, which was very rigid and boring.

Ronaldo said: "The teams that can reach the top 16 are all strong teams. At this point, the victory or defeat depends on on-the-spot performance, not just strength. In this game, we will try our best to defeat Leverkusen and start the group stage."

Robben said, "I don't know if I can start, but even if I sit in the stands, I will try to cheer for Inter Milan. Leverkusen is very strong. We have watched their game video. Their playing style is very aggressive, and it is difficult to predict. For us, the most favorable thing is that we are fighting at home, 8 Inter Milan fans are our strong backing, and I believe that the final victory must belong to us.

Rich teams like Inter Milan are so low-key, and Leverkusen is even more modest. Their coach Top Mueller has repeatedly expressed his respect for Inter Milan and Jiang Mu, and insisted that getting a point in Meacha is a victory. Their midfield player Barak also believes that Inter Milan has occupied the right time and place, and the team's morale is strong. It is indeed a good result to get a point against Leverkusen.

Leverkusen thought they were already very modest, but the Italian media thought that the Bundesliga team was too arrogant. La Gazzetta dello Sport mentioned Leverkusen's goal in its pre-match analysis. Reporter Evans laughed, "Leverkusen thought the draw was already a very modest goal, but they don't know if they had it. He has examined Jiang Mu's record in the Champions League. He led the team to play 40 Champions League games and defeated only two of his teams, Alaves and Alkmaar. This is still a very ambiguous factor. Other teams did not get a point on Jiang Mu's. Leverkusen should think about how difficult it is to draw with Inter Milan. Degree."

Roma Sport also believes that it is not easy for Leverkusen to get a point. In order to meet the Champions League group stage, Inter Milan did not do their best in the league. It can be seen that they attach importance to Leverkusen. If Leverkusen can't have an extraordinary performance in Meacha, one point is a very luxurious dream for them.

The German media is confused. Bild believes that Leverkusen is only slightly inferior to Inter Milan in fame. In fact, after several years, the pharmaceutical factory has the temperament of a first-class strong team and the experience of fighting against the giants. The willpower of the German team is also fully able to make them In a tough game, Bild believes that Leverkusen's goal of fighting for a draw away from home is a more realistic goal. If they perform better and Inter Milan is in as bad as in the league, winning is not an impossible thing to happen.

Kicker believes that Leverkusen's biggest weakness is his lack of experience in the Champions League. In the hands of a strong team, experience is very important. In addition, in terms of football style, Italian teams often restrain German teams. It is not easy for Leverkusen to achieve good results away from home.

However, the media did not have in-depth and large-scale coverage of this game. Of course, their goal is still Manchester United vs. Bayern and Liverpool vs. Barcelona. This is the highlight of this round. Both games can be said to be the level of Mars hitting the Earth. In comparison, Leverkusen's level is still a little smaller, if not It's because their opponent is the magical Inter Milan. Maybe the media won't even give them such a big place as tofu.

Bayern and Manchester United were the creators of the miracle of the 1999 UEFA Champions League final. That time, Manchester United laughed to the end and became the first Triple Crown. Last season, Bayern eliminated Manchester United in the quarterfinals and took revenge, but the feud between the two giants was not clear, but became more feuded. At this moment, their reunion is full of the smell of revenge, and the hype of the media all over the world has also made the players and fans on both sides more surging. They wish they could be satisfied with their opponents in this game.

The impact of the competition between Barcelona and Liverpool is slightly small. It's not that the two giants are not strong enough and not very famous. Liverpool, Barcelona are definitely the same level as Manchester United and Bayern. Their influence is slightly smaller, just because the two teams don't meet each other. It's strange to say that both teams are European regulars. Almost never missed, but they only played twice in the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup in the 00-01 season. At that time, Liverpool beat Barcelona 1:0 at home and played 0:0 away, and finally Liverpool advanced.

Now Barcelona has finally ushered in the opportunity to take revenge. Although the group stage is not a knockout match, defeating the opponent can also calm the anger of the fans. For the big team, face is still very important.
