Chapter 644 Preparing for the Champions League Final
Like the defending league champion, after Inter Milan defeated Juventus 3:1 to win the championship, the media praised it again.
"To win the double crown, the sword points to the Champions League", this is the title of "Milan Sport", in which i Inter Milan is full of praise: 3:1! Juventus had almost no chance. In the first round, it was doomed to such a result. Jiang Mu's team did not let the advantage slip away. They firmly controlled the situation of the game and finally let Juventus pass by their only champion this season. If Inter Milan was a miracle last season, they have won the double championship without any suspense this season. From the beginning to the end, they have been occupying the top position and did not give their opponents a chance. Now they have the only chance to win the Champions League, and now it seems that except for Real Madrid Outside the people, everyone is optimistic about Inter Milan. Maybe the second Triple Crown outside Manchester United is already wavoring to Inter Milan.
The Republic commented: "55 league unbeaten, breaking the record of 54 unbeaten games held by the Milan dynasty. Inter Milan used such a number to announce the arrival of the great international era. No matter whether Inter Milan can win the Champions League this season, reaching the final has been a great success, such as If Jiang Mu will continue to stay at Inter Milan next season, I believe that Inter Milan will definitely spend all their energy on the Champions League. There is not much suspense for them to win the Champions League. It will not be in the next season or the next season.
Foreign media also expressed great awe of Inter Milan.
Spain's Marca said: "In the duel between the new and old hegemons in Serie A, after beating Juventus to win the league championship, Inter Milan once again easily defeated Juventus 5:3 to win the championship in the two rounds of Coppa Italia. The era of Inter Milan to dominate Serie A has come, and now they are fighting. On the road to dominating Europe, the veteran overlord Real Madrid is the biggest stumbling block in front of them. If Inter Milan can beat Real Madrid at Hampton Park four days later, they can dominate Europe in advance this season. If they can't win the Champions League this season, Inter Milan will also go crazy in the summer. Go crazy and continue their great international dream.
The British Times commented: "Inter Milan continues to dominate Serie A. This is the third time they have defended their Serie A championship and won the Coppa Italia for the fourth time. Four days later, they will also work for the club's fourth Champions League trophy in Glasgow, Scotland. Inter Milan has changed so much. It is mainly because their head coach Jiang Mu, known as a magical coach, continues his magical journey. It is no longer a dream to become the second European Triple Crown after Manchester United. Now all teams are considering resisting Inter Milan and preventing them from dominating the world.
The Coppa Italia between the league and the UEFA Champions League is destined to be just a small tidbit. Before the enthusiasm of Inter Milan's fans to celebrate has passed, other fans and the media have already focused on the upcoming Champions League final.
In the UEFA Champions League final, Inter Milan's opponent is Real Madrid. In a sense, only when these two teams enter the finals can the Champions League become the real king of Europe.
Real Madrid has only one draw with Barcelona, its rival in the Champions League this season. Other games are all wins. The record is between Inter and Milan. Before the semi-finals, Real Madrid has always been the biggest favorite in the Champions League. Inter Milan has always ranked second, only in the semi-finals. After that, Inter Milan overtached Real Madrid and became the biggest favorite in the Champions League. The competition between the two teams, which should have strength, stars and rich background, is the expectations of fans all over the world, and it is also what UEFA wants to see most.
After winning the league and the Coppa Italia, more than half of the Inter Milan players and club officials were at ease. Jiang Mu said that he wanted to win the triple crown after the start of the season. Only Jiang Mu solemnly raised this matter several times, but Inter Milan clubs and players almost did not dare to say, seriously, It's not that they don't want it, every player wants it, but this goal is so ambitious that no one dares to believe it. Even club officials have considered how to wipe Jiang Mu's buttocks if Inter Milan can't get three crowns or even two crowns. Now Inter Milan has won two championships, except Jiang Mu. Everyone else breathed a sigh of relief. Whether the remaining Champions League can be won or not, the league championship and the Coppa Italia championship are enough to make most people shut up. As for a few attackers, even if Inter Milan won the Triple Crown, they will pick out the bones from their eggs.
However, Inter Milan's easy winning of two crowns has raised the appetite of Inter Milan fans. They are now full of expectations for the Champions League. Inter Milan is the most popular in Europe, which also makes them full of confidence in their own team. Without club mobilization, the fans spontaneously go to Glasgow, Scotland to give According to the analysis of England's newspaper The Sun, more than 50,000 Inter Milan fans will rush to Glasgow in order to witness the birth of Inter Milan's third Champions League champion in 37 years.
Jiang Mu's heart can't be at ease. He is the proposer of the goal of the Triple Crown and the person who most wants to achieve it. In addition, the most missing honor of Inter Milan is also the Champions League rather than the league champion. Jiang Mu came to Inter Milan for two seasons and has won the most important league championship. Now he has successfully defended his title and wants to become Jiang Mu, the best coach in Inter Milan's history, must win the Champions League.
If you want to win the Champions League, this state of Inter Milan players is definitely not enough. Their opponent is not an ordinary team, but Real Madrid. It is a super giant that has won the Champions League six times, and it is also the largest team with the largest number of stars now. Its starlight is even better than that of Inter Milan. If it is the country What does Inter Milan have more advantages than Inter Milan, that is, Jiang Mu defeated Real Madrid to win the Champions League when he coached Alkmaar. If this is the psychological advantage of Inter Milan, then Real Madrid also has its own psychological advantage. 42 years ago, Real Madrid defeated Germany's Frankfurt at Glasgow Hampton Stadium to win the championship. Now that you are visiting your hometown again, Real Madrid's psychology must be more stable.
Jiang Mu believes that Inter Milan has two problems now, one is pride and the other is complacency.
Winning the league and Coppa Italia in a row, breaking almost all Serie A records. The confidence of Inter Milan's players has also reached the stage of pride from self-confidence, which is also inevitable. Human beings are like this, and no one can really avoid it.
One is complacent. After winning the double championship in the league and the cup, the players' enterprising spirit is not as strong as before. They don't have the ambition as Jiang Mu. They want to become the triple champion like Manchester United. In fact, Manchester United did not have such a goal at that time. They just came to that point. In fact, if they don't It's God's blessing. Manchester United can't win the Champions League at all. It doesn't happen every year or even every ten years to score two goals in three minutes in stoppage time.
These two problems of Inter Milan exist not only among players, but also among club officials and coaches. After winning the Italian Cup, the Inter Milan club ignored Jiang Mu's opposition and celebrated for two consecutive days, and did not directly prepare for the Champions League final according to Jiang Mu's suggestion. Chairman Mo The reason given by Ratti is that life must be full of joy. I don't know what the Champions League final is like. If you win, it's certainly better for the three champions to celebrate together, but if you lose, I'm afraid the double champion will not be so great, so Moratti decided to celebrate for two consecutive days.
Although Jiang Mu has absolute power in the transfer and competition, he can't go beyond the club's celebration of winning the championship, and can only accept Moratti's explanation.
However, after the training began, the team returned to Jiang Mu. Jiang Mu began to prepare seriously and strictly for the Champions League final on May 15. All kinds of tactical training are not the most important. After Jiang Mu took over for nearly two seasons, Inter Milan's players did not change much, which made Inter Milan's players deal with Jiang Mu's tactics. The understanding is very deep, and the execution is also in place. The current training is basically led by Baresi and other assistant coaches. Unless Jiang Mu formulates new tactics according to the opponent, Jiang Mu will personally lead the team to train.
In the face of Real Madrid, a team with strong attack and weak defense, Jiang Mu is not ready to adopt any new tactics. The defensive counterattack is the sharpest weapon against Real Madrid. The key now is not tactics, but the analysis of Real Madrid's tactics and the understanding of the players. Only by analyzing every cell of Real Madrid, International Mi Lan Cai was able to reduce the accidental factors in the game and make the balance of victory inclined to Inter Milan.
Real Madrid's head coach Bosque's tactics are actually similar to those of Jiang Mu's. The tactics are flexible. According to the opponent's tactical play, he is better at on-the-spot command. Bosco's soldiers sometimes do not play cards according to common sense, but the effect is very good. He is the coach that Jiang Mu admires, so Jiang Mu does not intend to blindly guess Bosco. To deal with Inter Milan's playing style, it mainly studies Real Madrid's players.
McManaman, Casillas and Solari, these three people are what Jiang Mu needs to let the players know most. In the Champions League final of the previous life, at Hampton Park, the young player Casillas, who played as a substitute, magically saved Real Madrid, and the change of Sorari's position and role was also Real Madrid's victory. An important reason is that in this life, Jiang Mu does not want Leverkusen's tragedy to reappear in Inter Milan. He must familiarize the players with these three substitutes, so that they will not become the winner of Bosc in the game, especially Casillas. At that time, if it was not his magical save, the Leverkusen reversed Real Madrid. It's very likely.
