Chapter 614 The Secret of Success
Zacheroni has been worried a lot recently. After leading two goals in the league before Christmas and being tied by Bologna, the media and fans have not given him a good face. During the winter break, the team faced another personnel turmoil, and he was so busy that he didn't even have a good Christmas.
An old and useless person like Mikhailovic has kicked to Florence; an old person like Kovacevich who does not score goals has been sold to Spain; Dela Pena likes to show off his feet, delaying the counterattack and attack speed, and the Spani even want it. Of course, Zacheroni will not increase the price;
...and Mendieta and Feore. Mendieta is quite honest, because he wants it himself, and Zacheroni often defends him, but he knows in his heart that Mendieta and his tactics are not fully integrated, so that there is almost a shadow in his heart. That Fiorre is a little abominable. If he doesn't train seriously, he always complains that he doesn't have a ball to play. Like such a high-priced bench, Parma really wants him to leave.
However, what bothers Zacheroni most is the match between Inter Milan. Now Lazio has fallen to 7th place, and there is a difference of 9 points from his rival Rome. If they still want to keep a little hope of winning the championship, they can only win this game.
Zacheroni is very familiar with the San Siro Stadium. If the time goes back for more than a year, he is still the emperor there. Zacheroni is also very familiar with Inter Milan. During the three years in charge of AC Milan, every confrontation between him and Inter Milan has made him unforgettable. From Simone to Lucescu to the hateful Chinese Jiang Mu, his opponents rotate like a horse lamp... After years, Zacheroni finally became It's a passer-by of San Siro.
No longer a derby, but Lazaroni knows that, like any bloody battle in the past, San Siro is destined to be his paradise, like the moment of winning the championship in the 1998-1999 season, or the grave. He still remembers that 9 months ago, AC Milan was swept away by Inter Milan 7:1. How did he betray his relatives? In the case of separation, he fled in a hurry from the high and blue sky of San Siro. Challenging the leader led by Jiang Mu is another life-and-death date for Zacheroni.
Although Lazio has sold a lot of world-class stars, it is not a big deal if the camels die. Now their overall configuration is still first-class. Their biggest problem is their economy and morale. The economic crisis of the club has made the team lose enthusiasm and confidence, and the team's poor record has made the players lose confidence. During the winter break, selling people and making the players panic. Even if Zacheroni made a call to fight to the death with Inter Milan, in such a big situation, even if Zacheroni has the appeal of Hitler, it is difficult to improve morale.
Before the game, Zacheroni also offered to encourage the club's fans to cheer for the team, but what Zacheroni didn't expect was that the relationship between Lazio's fans and the Roma fans was worse than that of Milan's two champions. Lazio fans saw that Lazio had no hope of winning the championship (with Inter Milan). It's a 16-point difference) to support Inter Milan to win, which really annoys Zachroni why there are such strange fans.
Zacheroni led the team to Milan and welcomed him and the players with more than 3,000 Inter Milan fans. Of course, they did not come to welcome, but to demonstrate. The overwhelming banners were written with the slogan "Inter Milan will win", which made Lazio, who only supported by more than 3,000 fans, more depressed.
Jiang Mu's biggest advantage is that he knows that Zacheroni cares about this game. Zacheroni is prone to accident when he is in a hurry, which is the case in Milan. Inter Milan is always so stable. Whether facing strong or weak teams, they can control the rhythm of the game, attacking like a cheetah and defending like a mountain. So far, no defeat has also made the players full of confidence.
But in the face of a team like Lazio, no matter how confident they are, no matter how stable they are, they can't replace the serious training and preparation before the game. However, Jiang Mu really doesn't have much time to prepare for this game, because the players only come back three days early, and these three days, the players show However, before returning from the state of vacation, the team's third line has made rapid progress, making the players too relaxed. They played too crazy during the winter break, so that it took Jiang Mu more than a day to wake them up, which made Jiang Mu also worried about the game.
The focus battle between Lazio and Inter Milan is the last match of the 17th round. Before that, Roma, Chievo, AC Milan and Juventus all won the game, which added another point of pressure to Inter Milan and Lazio. If Inter Milan does not win, they will be approached by Roma. If Lazio doesn't win, he is likely to continue to be widened by the top six teams, and he can't even get a seat in the League Cup.
At the press conference before the game, Jiang Mu reiterated the importance of the game. "Lazio is a very strong team. They can beat any opponent. We must not think that they are easy to bully because they have sold a few stars, otherwise the result will definitely surprise you. The last time Inter Milan won the informal "winter championship" was 11 years ago. We will win the half-time championship again in this game, which is very important to us. I hope to maintain this advantage until we finally win the championship.
Jiang Mu did not disclose much about how to defend Inter Milan's two major Argentine strikers, Crespo and Lopez, but he said that Inter Milan has made full preparations, and Materazzi and Cannavaro will not give Lazio the two strikers too many opportunities.
As for why he succeeded in the conflicting Inter Milan in a short period of time and transformed Inter Milan into the most frightening super team in Serie A, Jiang Mu said: "In the Netherlands, many people are unwilling to accept defensive tactics. In Italy, many people do not like full attack and defense, but my ancestors told me that there are Yu, the rules are insufficient. Defense and attack are equally important. If our strength is strong, I will attack. If our strength is weak, we will defend. If the strength of both sides is equal, I will win by surprise, so we can always win. If you really want to ask me what the secret of success is, then I will tell you that the secret is me. Know when to attack and when to defend.
In the face of Jiang Mu talking about the tactics of selling his ancestor Sun Wu at the press conference, Zacheroni seemed a little anxious.
After Zacheroni summoned up the courage to show his confidence in the game, the reporters began to bombard him indiscriminately, questioning one by one.
The reporter of the Republic asked him why he sold the meritorious servant Mikhailovich, bought the strong Kovacevich, and hid the only imaginative Dra Pena, and why he did not deal with the useless Mendieta.
The reporter of La Gazzetta dello Sport asked Zacheroni sarcastically, is the Mendieta that spent 41 million at that time still worth 10 million now?
The Dutch reporter asked Zacheroni's confidence in defeating Inter Milan. Does it depend on his mouth?
The German reporter asked Zacheroni what is his goal this season? Is it a League Cup seat or relegation?
......
Of course, Zacheroni wants to go. Although this kind of personalized behavior is very in line with Zacheroni's hot temper, now Zacheroni can only endure it, because his grades are too bad, and coaches with poor grades have no human rights. At this time, if he can't bear to swallow his anger, the media will definitely fall into the pit. At that time, he The days must be even more sad. So Zachroni can only endure his anger and explain it briefly, and then take a chance to leave quickly.
A day in Milan is very difficult for Lazio. There are Inter Milan fans in blue and black jerseys everywhere. They are almost trapped in the sea of the people's war. More importantly, they are not only optimistic about Inter Milan in the media, but also lack the support of their own fans, which makes this ball The team has been in a state of restlessness, and they are eager to see the game coming soon, ending quickly, and going home quickly.
At 20:30 local time on the 6th, Italy, and at 3:30 Beijing time on January 7th, the focus battle between Inter Milan and Lazio finally kicked off.
The Meacha Stadium was decisively full, and 88,000 blue and black fans squeezed the stands. The three thousand Dorazio irons who came to help were almost like mud cattle entering the sea, and there was no trace.
The famous Inter Milan hardcore, commentator Scapini came to the stadium early to explain the background of the game, the ranking of the two sides in the league, the historical record, and the starting lineup of the two sides just got.
Inter Milan's starting formation 4-4-2: goalkeeper Toldo, four-backs: Sanetti, Cannavaro, Matrazisimić, four midfielders: Pirlo, Dibiagio, Sidov, Ronaldinho, double forwards: Vieri and Ronaldo.
On the bench sat Recoba, Fran, Robben, Cordoba, Gresca and Farinos.
Lazio is also a 4-4-2 formation: goalkeeper Macegiani, four-backs: Negro, Nesta, Coto, Favari, four midfielders: Boboski, Giannica, Livariani, Mendieta, double striker: Claudio Lopez, Crespo.
The bench sat Pankaro, Feore, Inzaghi Jr. and Stankovic.
Look at the game is about to start. Live commentator Scarpini began to stir up the fans. "This is a game that no one wants to lose. This is a game that no one can lose. We lose. Rome is only 4 points away from us. Lazio basically has to play the UEFA Cup if he loses. Meacha, Inter Milan has no advantage over Lazio. In the last eight years, Inter Milan has only won Lazio once at the Meacha Stadium, which is the spell that Jiang Mu broke last season.
Whether we win or not Lazio, we are all half-time champions, but defeating Lazio will undoubtedly boost the morale of the team. Although there will be no real reward for taking the lead after half of the season, eight of the past 10 winter championship teams have finally won the league championship. This is the best reward for us."
