Chinese champion

Chapter 293 The Blue-Black Empire Fights Rome Again
As the major European leagues ignited the flames of war again, the fans who had been silent for a while began to get excited again.

For Chinese fans, it has become a habit for them to pay attention to the five major European leagues thousands of miles away, and the excellent performance of the Chinese team in the World Cup this time has deepened their attention to the five major leagues.

First of all, they are most concerned about Serie A. Although Serie A has gradually declined in recent years, the position of the world's number one league has gradually been replaced by La Liga, and the phone door scandal that broke out this summer has made Serie A's popularity plummet. They left one after another, but because Serie A was the first European league to land on CCTV Sports Channel, Chinese fans still pay a lot of attention to Serie A.

Concern for Serie A is naturally inseparable from concern for Chinese players. Hu Yong's transfer to AC Milan has greatly stimulated the Chinese fans. The Milan Derby has become a Chinese Derby. Can Chinese fans be more excited than this?
Although compared with Pei Wei's stable main force position, whether Hu Yong can play the main force in AC Milan is still a variable. After all, his competitors are Gattuso and Pirlo, who were selected for the best team in the World Cup, but Hu Yong is the first to join. AC Milan's players are also a very good result. I believe that Ancelotti will not buy him to strengthen the depth of the bench, because the transfer fee of 1200 million euros is already the second highest expenditure of AC Milan this summer. .In fact, although Hu Yong's position is still not stable, he is the first substitute of the midfielder. In the five games that AC Milan has played, he started twice and came off the bench twice. With all the victories in these five games, Hu Yong's Milan career has had a good start.

Compared with the degree of concern that Pei Wei and Hu Yong received, Zhong Yan and Yao Le received much less attention. The prospect of competing with Pacini for the main position is not promising.

Wu Qi is doing well in Man United. He has squeezed the Dutch goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar to the bench. Manchester United has won three consecutive league games. His performance has added countless confidence to the slightly fragile defense. Zhang Qi Li Min, Du Wei and others are still the main force of the club. They also performed well in the World Cup. It is not that they are not unfavorable to the team, but their performance is not enough to impress the giants, and they are not willing to go to the mid-level clubs. , so still stay in the original club.

Compared with the outstanding performance of other Chinese players, Pei Wei, the best performer in the World Cup, did not go so smoothly. Although he won the Super Cup through a super reversal, this victory failed to bring Inter Milan Good luck, just one week after winning the Super Cup, one week before the start of Serie A, Giacinto Facchetti, the current chairman of Inter Milan, the greatest left-back in Italian history, and the witness of the "Great Inter Milan Era" is gone His 64-year life journey, this fighter who never refused to admit defeat, finally lost in the hands of the disease.

Facchetti's death is undoubtedly a huge blow to Inter Milan. He is the banner of Inter Milan and the foundation of Inter Milan. Facchetti's departure even took away the soul of Inter Milan!
Soon Inter Milan felt the impact of losing Facchetti. Although they beat Fiorentina 3:2 in the first round of the league, in the next two games, their results could only be "bad". "To describe.

On September 9, in the first round of the Champions League group stage, Inter Milan lost 13:0 away to Sporting Lisbon. On September 1, in the second round of Serie A, Inter Milan failed their first home show of the new season. If it weren't for the defender's own goal, Sampdoria would even be able to take three points in Meazza.

The fans of Inter Milan can't stand it anymore. The failure to win the championship for such a long time made the fans of Inter Milan start to become a little bit extreme, and the false league title last season made them have greater hopes for the new season , the club's glory in the transfer market has made their hopes reach a peak, but unfortunately the team's performance is not satisfactory.

Even Moratti couldn't sit still. In the past few seasons, he had been buying people carefully and carefully, but this season seemed to him the best chance to win the championship, so he did not hesitate to pay the price. He spent a lot of money in the transfer market just to build a team of kings, but he didn't see good results, and Moratti became anxious again.

Two wins, one draw and one loss in the four official games. This result is not bad, but it is not good either. Moreover, the two victories were extremely thrilling, and Moratti, who had high expectations, could not help but be disappointed.

It is not surprising that Moratti would have such an idea. In front of the players, he is a loving father, and in front of the fans, he is a generous chairman, but he is not a competent chairman.

He is willing to spend money, and he can buy whoever the coach wants, but as the most loyal fan of Inter Milan, he can't help but want to use his will to interfere with the power that the coach should have.

From this point of view, Moratti is not as good as Chelsea's Abramovich. Abramovich is also willing to spend money, but he knows that he is a layman, so he never interferes with the operations of Mourinho and Kenyon. Buyers have managers. There is a coach who directs the game, and he just needs to keep signing one check after another. In fact, he did the same, so Chelsea won the Premier League in the last two seasons.

But Moratti prefers to interfere with the team's affairs, and often interferes with the head coach's arrangements with his own will. Although we have no intention of questioning this old man who has devoted his whole life to Inter Milan, we have to Admit that, from a certain point of view, Massimo Moratti objectively affected the normal operation of Inter Milan.

After being drawn by Sampdoria at home, rumors have spread that if Mancini fails to perform well in the next three key games, he will be relieved of his position as Inter Milan's head coach. There are even rumors that Moratti has found a new head coach, that is Mancini's mentor when he was in Lazio, the former England coach Eriksson.

Which three games?An away game against Rome on Wednesday, a home game against "Flying Donkey" Chievo on the weekend, and a home game against the Bundesliga overlord Bayern Munich in the Champions League group stage next Wednesday. The strength is also very strong, and after losing to Sporting Lisbon in the first game of the Champions League group stage, if Inter Milan wants to qualify from the group, they must win the biggest opponent Bayern Munich at home.

Under such circumstances, Inter Milan seems to be guilty of internal conflicts again. Adelaide, who lost his main position, is in a bad mood. Martins is also angry because he has not played a game for 1 minute at the beginning of the new season. Under the atmosphere of the away game against Rome, almost everyone is not optimistic about Inter Milan.

********************************************
The above troubles have no effect on Pei Wei. He performed well against Fiorentina in the first round of the league. After scoring and assisting, he suffered a slight injury and had to rest for a week. Mancini had to let Figo replace him. Although Figo's performance is also very good, Inter Milan's performance in these two games is not satisfactory. Mancini eagerly hopes that Pei Wei's injury can heal quickly like never before.

Although Inter Milan introduced many players this summer, the departure of Veron, Zanetti, Pizarro and others made the central midfielder position very weak. While Pei Wei was injured, Figo and Cambiasso These two indispensable players were also injured, which made Mancini's formation even more stretched.

Fortunately, two days before the start of the game, good news finally came from the medical team: Pei Wei has recovered and can play against Rome.

The most criticized thing about Inter Milan in the past was their medical system, but this year, after Marco joined, the recovery of the players has improved a lot. Her family-inherited massage recovery method made up for the vacancy in the medical team. Although there are still players this year Injured, but it is much better than having to rest for several months before.

In fact, Inter Milan's medical level is not bad, but they can't find a good player in the recovery care of players after their injuries have basically recovered. Ma Keer just filled this vacancy. Behind Ke'er, there is the entire Ma's Medical Center supporting her!Mancini was ready to propose to Moratti that Ma Keer's father, Ma Guohua, should be hired as a consultant in the medical team with a high salary.

With the good news of Pei Wei's return from injury, Inter Milan flew to Rome to welcome their first fierce battle of the season.

************************************************
Roma's recent situation is very good. The two-match win in the league ranks first in the standings. In the first game of the Champions League, they also beat Shakhtar Donetsk 4-0 and scored seven goals in the last two games. , The offensive power is very strong, and Inter Milan has only scored one goal in the last two games. The public opinion before the game is almost overwhelmingly biased towards Roma, who are playing at home.

December 9, Stadio Olimpico in Rome.

When the Roma team wearing red jerseys filed out from the player tunnel, the fans almost tore their throats apart in an instant, and the huge roar echoed in this ancient stadium. The Romans have always been tough , In this ancient beast arena, they can reveal their wildest side.

Brazilian midfielder Taddei can't play, but Spalletti doesn't care. Pizarro, who was transferred from Inter Milan, is enough to replace Taddei. Immediately after arriving under the old coach's hands, he showed the demeanor of a midfield master. He scored goals in the last two games, and under his control, Roma's frontcourt offense was as smooth as mercury. He has been waiting for this game for a long time, and he wants to prove with his own performance that it was a mistake for Mancini to give up on him. His strength is definitely stronger than Pei Wei!
Roma's lineup is still 4-2-3-1.Goalkeeper Doni, defenders Panucci, Mexes, Qiwu, Tonetto, midfielders De Rossi and Pizarro, midfielders Mancini, Aquilani and Perotta, forward Totti.

While Inter Milan has a 4-3-1-2 formation, goalkeeper Cesar, four defenders Maicon, Cordoba, Materac and Grosso, central midfielder Dacourt, right back Waist Vieira, left midfielder captain Zanetti, front midfielder Pei Wei, and forwards Crespo and Ibrahimovic.

Neither Figo nor Cambiasso were on the court, and the burden on Pei Wei was obviously heavier.

At the beginning of the game, the host Roma gave the guest Inter Milan a big blow. Mancini broke through from the side and made a cross. Aquilani grabbed the header in front of Cordoba and missed it slightly.

Inter Milan launched a counterattack, and just after Pei Wei dribbled the ball past the midfield, Pizarro came up to meet him.

Obviously Pizarro wants to use this method to prove that he is better than Pei Wei, because everyone knows that Pei Wei's defense is not good, and if he can defend Pei Wei in the game, wouldn't it prove that he is better than Pei Wei? Pei Wei is much stronger?
But although his defense is good, he is still a bit short of defending Pei Wei.

The biggest gap between him and Pei Wei is speed!

In terms of skills, Pizarro, who is a South American, is no worse than anyone else, but the reason why Pei Wei can be favored by many coaches is because Pei Wei not only has excellent skills and good consciousness, but also has what ordinary midfielders do not have. technology!
With an emergency stop and a change of direction, Pei Wei easily threw away Pizarro!

Although Pizarro saw Pei Wei's intention, the difference in speed made his outstretched foot a little slower!It was such a little distance that made Pei Wei get rid of him!
Pei Wei, who had passed Pizarro, did not continue to take it down. Before De Rossi came up, he suddenly made a pick pass while running, and the ball immediately drew an arc and flew into the penalty area of ​​the Roma team!

Crespo in the penalty area keenly grasped the landing point of the ball, jumped high, and scored with a powerful header!

Dhoni made a side throw with one hand and saved the ball to the bottom line, a corner kick!

"This guy is really difficult to deal with!" Spalletti thought from the sidelines. The two defensive midfielders are not good at speed. If Pei Wei is allowed to charge like this, the defense will definitely be messed up. With Crespo and Ibrahimovic involved, the defenders dare not relax their vigilance against them!
