Chinese champion

Chapter 292 Super Reversal in the Blue-Black Empire Super Cup
When Pei Wei talked to Hu Yong, he was not in Milan, but in Mallorca, where he had spent three unforgettable years.

But this time he didn't come back here to play, but came here with the Inter Milan team to participate in the Pirelli Cup match, and the opponent was the Mallorca team.

This team is no longer the Mallorca team Pei Wei is familiar with. Manzano was dismissed due to poor record in the 04-05 season. Cooper also announced his resignation this summer after leading the team for a year. Manzano re-entered the game, and this was also the first time Pei Wei met Manzano on the court after leaving Mallorca.

Mancini sent all his players to play for 45 minutes each. In the end, Inter Milan won the championship with a 1-0 win. Adriano, who played in the second half, assisted and Maicon, who played in the second half, also scored the only goal. , Pei Wei played in the first half, a few breakthroughs were very threatening, but probably because he hadn't played for a long time, his movements on the court seemed a little slow.

This is also the last warm-up match played by Inter Milan before the start of the new season. Mancini doesn't care much about the score. What he cares about is how well the newly introduced players can have a tacit understanding on the court.

And in a few days, Inter Milan will usher in their first official game of the season, the Italian Super Cup final of the 06-07 season, Inter Milan will play against Roma at home.

Mancini can be regarded as the "King of Cups" in Italy. When he was a player, he participated in the finals of the Coppa Italia fifteen times and won six times. After leading Inter Milan to win the Coppa Italia last season, He has won the Coppa Italia for the fourth time as a coach, tied with his teacher Eriksen, and last season, Inter Milan also defeated the league champion Juventus in the Super Cup final, anyway , Mancini still has a way of playing cup games.

Originally, Inter Milan's opponent this time should be Juventus, but because the opponent was punished for relegation, the championship was awarded to Inter Milan, so the opponent of this game is Roma, the double runner-up in the league and cup last year.

For Inter Milan, this game is very important, and Inter Milan, who is extremely hungry for championships, does not want to let go of any championship.

For this reason, Mancini also arranged the strongest lineup, still the most familiar 4-4-2 last season, goalkeeper Toldo, four defenders captain Zanetti, Materac, Samuel and the new team. The transferred Grosso, the double midfielder Vieira is in the center, Cambiasso is on the left, the right midfielder Figo, the central midfielder Pei Wei, and the two forwards are Adriano and Ibrahimovic double height combination.

For Rome, Pizarro, who had just transferred, did not play due to the transfer clause. Spalletti continued to use the 4-2-3-1 formation of last season. The goalkeeper Doni and the four defenders are Panu. Qi, Mexes, Chivu and Kufre, double defensive midfielders Aquilani and De Rossi, three attacking midfielders Mancini, Perotta and Taddei, captain Totti as the arrow head at the forefront.
Moratti nodded in satisfaction in the stands. With the joining of three powerful players, Grosso, Vieira and Ibrahimovic, Inter Milan has completely made up for the shortcomings in the composition of players last season. It is not an exaggeration. He said that as long as these players can form a fighting force, it is not difficult to win the league championship when the two major opponents are in trouble, and it is not impossible to do something in the European arena.

Including the players' salaries, Moratti has spent close to 1 million euros in the transfer market this year. He has no other hope, but wants to use this good opportunity to wash away the decline of Inter Milan over the past decade and regain the old age. The "Great Inter Milan Era" created by Moratti!
************************************************** ********
No one expected such a result to happen!

Even the head coach of the Roma team, Spalletti, would never have imagined that the game only lasted 35 minutes, and Roma actually led Inter Milan 3-0 at the Meazza Stadium!
Spalletti was so happy that even his bald head seemed to be shining, he never expected that the seemingly mighty Inter Milan would be so vulnerable!It seems that the champion of Rome this season is expected!
Moratti's face has long lost the smile, he can forgive the loss, but what he saw was the lack of fighting spirit of the players on the field!
Mancini also frowned. The three conceded goals were a bit surprising, but it was not surprising!

The team's four midfielders: Vieira, Cambiasso, Figo and Pei Wei are all players who performed well in this World Cup. Vieira made the French team extremely strong, and Cambiasso Sol is the bridge connecting the front and back courts of the Argentine team, Figo is the spiritual leader and offensive core of the Portuguese team, and Pei Wei almost supports all the offense of the Chinese team alone!

But maybe their outstanding performance in the World Cup overdrawn their physical strength and affected their state. During these 35 minutes, they didn't seem very excited!Like them, there is Grosso, a major discovery in Italy's World Cup.

The absence of Cordoba also made the defense lack speed. The similarity in style of the two forwards, Ibrahimovic and Adelaide, also made it difficult for Inter Milan's offense to advance into the penalty area!
The first goal was conceded, but the usually prudent captain Zanetti made a fatal mistake. He failed to touch the ball, but instead interfered with Toldo's line of sight. Mancini easily headed the ball in. An empty goal, while the second and third goals conceded fully demonstrated the lack of speed in Inter Milan's defense. Aquilani's two singles made Toldo helpless!

After the third conceded, Roma created another chance when Taddei's header slid out and Inter escaped!
"We have to make some changes!" Mancini thought, the three conceded goals in a row made the players lose their morale. They wanted to attack, but they were afraid of Rome's counterattack!

Roma's offense played so well in this game!The small-scale coordination of several players in the frontcourt broke through Inter Milan's defense line. Totti often retreated so that Inter Milan's two central defenders lost their mark, while Mancini, Taddei and others inserted their attacks. Let Toldo be hard to guard against!

At this time, it was not the offensive player who stood up, but the captain Zanetti who made a fatal mistake 10 minutes ago.

Pei Wei took the ball in the frontcourt, and De Rossi and Aquilani immediately flanked him.

Just when Pei Wei looked up but couldn't find his teammate to pass the ball, Zanetti's voice suddenly came from the side: "This way!"

Pei Wei didn't have time to think about it. The morale of the leading Roma was very strong, and even their defenders suddenly became stronger. If Pei Wei didn't pass the ball, he might be cut off immediately.

Zanetti received the ball on the right, and Roma left-back Cufrere came up to him.

He originally thought that Zanetti was going to pass the ball. As he got older, it was difficult to see Zanetti's quick breakthrough and powerful long-range shots on the court. Los's eponymous Flying Wing.

Maybe the 32-year-old is old, and even lost his unshakable national team position. Even within Inter Milan, there are many voices to replace him with Maicon, who is younger, faster, and more capable of breaking through.

Many people think so, even the little-known Kufrey in front of him thinks so.

The football field is dominated by young people, let old men go to hell!
While thinking this way, he posted it.

Zanetti suddenly dialed the ball horizontally, flashed past Cufrey's outstretched foot, and then rushed over quickly!
"Beautiful breakthrough! Javier is not old!" Meazza's commentator shouted loudly. The team's performance has not been very good, which made him hold his breath.

De Rossi ran over to defend from the side, trying to squeeze Zanetti to the side, but he didn't expect that Zanetti suddenly made another horizontal call and threw him away again. At this time, Zanetti was already very close to the middle of the penalty area , he didn't take it again, but directly swung his left foot, and suddenly shot a long shot!
Doni made a side throw, pressed the ball under his body, and secretly wiped his sweat.

"VALLA!" An Italian curse, this old guy really has a trick, after passing two people in a row, he can still shoot such a tricky long shot, thanks to his concentration, otherwise he would have gotten in?
Zanetti watched the ball being caught by Doni, he didn't speak, yelling was not his style, he just shook his head, then turned and ran back to his backcourt.

Although Zanetti's quiet personality has always been criticized by people, who think that a captain without temperament will make Inter Milan lose its domineering, but Inter Milan's players and fans don't think so. The fans clapped their hands and cheered for them Paying tribute to the captain, but the uneasy mentality of the players just now miraculously calmed down. Even the 32-year-old captain can launch an attack without hesitation, so how could he not do it?

Pei Wei also felt a little ashamed looking at the back of Zanetti running back silently. Yes, he participated in the World Cup and his physical strength was not very good, but although the captain did not participate in the World Cup, he has been training with the team in the team. The consumption is not less than yourself, how can this be a reason?

Under the support of Cambiasso, Vieira broke Totti's ball with a beautiful tackle. He fell to the ground and swept his legs, and passed the ball to Pei Wei in front.

After receiving the ball, Pei Wei quickly turned around, moved the ball forward, and rushed between De Rossi and Aquilani abruptly!
"Stop him!" Chivu commanded loudly while following Ibrahimovic who was plugged in. It was only a minute or so before the end of the first half. A three-goal lead is not the same as a two-goal lead!
Taddei, who was back on defense, came up to meet him. Pei Wei's left shoulder sank, and then he flicked the ball to the right!
Seeing that the ball could not be broken, Taddei stretched his leg and hooked Pei Wei's left foot. Pei Wei fell to the ground and took a free kick.

Both central defenders ran up. The first half of the game is almost over. If the goal can be scored, there is still hope for the second half.

Figo and Pei Wei stood in front of the ball, one on the left and one on the right. After the referee blew the free throw whistle, Pei Wei pretended to run, and Figo next to him suddenly drew the ball on the spot and sent the ball into the penalty area. !
Vieira jumped high, higher than anyone - including teammate Materac - with a light touch, the ball changed direction and flew into the bottom of the net, goalkeeper Dhoni stood in front of the goal, reacting None were made, and Inter Milan pulled back a goal.

The commentator of Rome TV said sourly: "If Vieira can jump so high in the World Cup final, then the World Cup champion must be France!"

What he said was well-founded. In the ball that Italy equalized in the final, Materaz beat Vieira and headed the ball. If Vieira could jump higher at that time, then maybe World Cup winners will really become France.

Shortly after Vieira scored this goal, the first half ended, 3:1, Roma entered the second half with a two-goal advantage.

When the fans of Meazza were sad for this score, they did not expect that an exciting game was coming to them.

Shortly after the start of the second half, Mancini replaced Grosso, who was not doing well, with Maicon. Captain Zanetti moved to the left. After the first half, the players of Inter Milan began to get serious. Roma began to really feel the pressure.

After Figo received a pass from Pei Wei and played high, the Roma team began to shrink their defense. After the second half, Inter Milan's powerful midfielder finally began to exert its power. There seems to be no benefit in front of the scene.

However, Inter Milan's offense is a bit of a suspicion that it is only blooming but not fruitful. Both Adelaide and Ibrahimovic are the kind of players who like to take the ball and attack by themselves. This makes the penalty area less a scoring point. Mancini also saw this. , when Adelaide was cut off with the ball, Mancini replaced him with Crespo.

Crespo created a good opportunity as soon as he came on the field. After receiving a direct pass from Pei Wei at the front of the penalty area, he leaned against the opponent's defender. He suddenly turned around and got rid of it. .

Roma, not reconciled to being overwhelmed by Inter Milan, launched a counterattack, but Maicon and Vieira, who had just appeared on the field, teamed up on the right to kill Taddei's breakthrough. Cambiasso got the ball first, and he Immediately passed the ball straight to Pei Wei who ran to the right to meet him.

Pei Wei immediately moved the ball forward - now that most of the players in Rome are pressing up, it is a good opportunity to counterattack!
Aquilani wanted to come up to stop him, but was thrown off by Pei Wei with a pass through the crotch.

Pei Wei continued to dribble the ball along the right, saw that Crespo had rushed into the penalty area, and immediately made a cross!

A beautiful curve ball flew directly into the penalty area of ​​Rome. Crespo left Chivu behind with a big stride, then squatted slightly, and leaned over to meet the incoming ball!
As the ball rushed into the goal quickly, there was a burst of cheers over Meazza!
Only one ball away!
Crespo rushed into the goal, picked up the ball and ran back, and of course he didn't forget to high-five his teammates along the way.

This goal greatly boosted the morale of Inter Milan, and the three-goal advantage of the Roma team was only one left in a blink of an eye, and the morale had fallen to the bottom!
"We want to use the championship to congratulate the chairman, do you have confidence?" Captain Zanetti shouted loudly in the backcourt. Inter Milan's current chairman Facchetti has been hospitalized due to stomach cancer. Before the game, the players swore, Pray for the chairman with a victory!
"Yes!" Inter Milan's players shouted in unison, because the shock of falling behind by three goals was gone!
They forgot their fatigue, and they also left behind the so-called wealthy mentality. They kept running on the field, constantly threatening Roma's defense with offense. This is the strength that this current Inter Milan team should have!

Under such a strong attack from Inter Milan, the Roma team gradually became overwhelmed.
Ten minutes later, Inter Milan ushered in the third goal!
Pei Wei dribbled the ball and attracted the opponent's full-back to grab the ball. He cleverly distributed the ball to the empty right, and Maicon passed the ball into the penalty area. Mex pushed the ball out and Vieira again Heading the ball into the penalty area, Crespo hooked the ball to the left, and Ibrahimovic immediately volleyed the goal!
In a hurry, Ibrahimovic didn't make any effort. The ball didn't fly to the goal but flew to the back point after bouncing off the ground. Pei Wei suddenly appeared in that place and volleyed vigorously against the incoming ball!

The ball flew into the goal fiercely-3:3!

This goal was repeatedly broadcast by the Italian National TV station in charge of broadcasting. The cooperation between several players is pleasing to the eye. live!

The Inter Milan fans in the stands were going crazy with joy. The big ups and downs made them feel a little unbearable for those who are used to seeing the vicissitudes of life on the court. Three goals behind and three goals leading, this result is enough to make all the fans dumbfounded !
Mancini jumped up the moment he saw the ball enter the goal, and then hugged the old Miha next to him with a red face!
The morale of the Roma team has completely collapsed. Even the three-goal advantage can be given away like this. What else will not happen?
Spalletti stared blankly at the Inter Milan players celebrating on the field, he couldn't believe this happened!

What's more terrible is that in order to strengthen the defense just now, he has replaced Totti and Taddei, and now he doesn't have the ability to attack back!
He can only pray now that he can keep a clean sheet for the rest of the time, and he may still win until the penalty kick...

But will Inter Milan, which has gone crazy now, give him this chance?The answer is of course no!
No.706 minutes, Figo made a direct pass from the middle, and Ibrahimovic broke into the penalty area and shot from a small angle on the side net.

No.709 minutes, Crespo received a pass from Pei Wei and shook his head to attack the goal, and the ball missed the left post.

No. In the 803rd minute, Pei Wei dribbled the ball to attract the opponent's two midfielders and made a cross pass. Then Cambiasso made a long shot from outside the penalty area, and the ball was saved by Doni.

No. 807 minutes, Pei Wei broke through Panucci and De Rossi from the left and broke into the penalty area. After Chivu and Mex came over, he suddenly made a horizontal move. Ibrahimovic, who was in the middle of the penalty area, easily pushed the ball. Break through the gate guarded by Doni four times!

After the goal, Ibrahimovic hugged Pei Wei who assisted him tightly and thanked him for passing the ball. Although he performed very well in this game and directly assisted a goal, as a striker, there is nothing It is a more powerful stat than a goal.

Thinking back to last season, the two were still life-and-death enemies. For this reason, we can only sigh with emotion, things on the football field are really impermanent...

Off the field, Adriano looked at Pei Wei and Ibrahimovic with complicated eyes. He originally hugged Pei Wei last season, but now...

The Roma team completely collapsed, only a few minutes away from the end of the game, facing Inter Milan who scored four goals in a row, they lost the courage to equalize.

The referee blew the whistle for the end of the game after only 1 minute of stoppage time. The players of the Roma team did not have any objections because of the short stoppage time. They just want to leave this place and this nightmare stadium now.
4:3!A shocking reversal!

Is there anything more perfect than such a result?Is there any victory more exciting than such a victory?In the eyes of Inter Milan fans, the three conceded goals at the beginning were just a test given to Inter Milan by God, and such a victory will be more memorable!
Victory is of course gratifying. When Captain Zanetti raised the silver trophy high above his head, the entire Meazza stadium was boiling, and the singing of "We are the champions" sounded everywhere.

Under such circumstances, everyone ignores the shortcomings exposed by the team. The central midfielder has a weak substitute. Figo and Vieira are both very old but there is no suitable substitute. Central defender Matra The battle between Qi and Samuel for the main force, Ibrahimovic and Adelaide's incompatibility, whether Crespo and Martins can be willing to be substitutes... All these problems were temporarily covered up in this victory .

Mancini won his fifth championship after becoming the head coach of Inter Milan (including the Serie A championship last season), but hidden dangers remained after this game. Inter Milan's road to defending the title is still very long. very long……
