Chinese champion

Chapter 334

Before the start of the new season, Inter Milan announced the player numbers for the new season. Although Cesar is the main player, he still wears the No. 12 of last season. On the 1nd left by Orlandoni last season.

Among the defenders, No. 4 and No. 2 are still unchanged. They are worn by captain Zanetti and vice-captain Cordoba. Materac and Samuel still wear No. 23 and No. 25 from last season. The teenager Andreoli wore No. 77, Bronsodi No. 16, Grosso No. 11, Maicon No. 13, and Wang Xiaomin chose No. 17, the number that no one wanted last season. When Pei Wei reminded him of this number When Inter Milan was not a good number, he just smiled and didn't care too much.

In terms of midfield, the numbers of Stankovic, Cambiasso, Vieira, Dacourt and Gonzalez have not changed. They are still No. 5, No. 19, No. 14, No. 15 and No. 91 of last season , Pei Wei is still No. 10, Mascherano is No. 6, Ronaldo is wearing No. 7 left by Figo, and Barone is wearing No. 21 left by Solari.

There was a small accident on the forward line. The numbers of Ibrahimovic, Recoba and Martins have not changed. They are still No. 8, 20 and 30. Originally, after Adelaide left, Crespo was Mancini thinks so too, but Crespo wants to continue wearing his No. 9 last year, probably because this number brought him good luck last year. , so Zhuang Feng accidentally put on the No. 18 jersey, which also made the Chinese fans excited again.

However, even Zhuang Feng himself knows it very well. Although he was given the jersey number that symbolizes the main striker, whether it is in the hearts of the head coach Mancini or the fans, the main striker is still Crespo. It was Crespo's exchange for one real goal after another. It was the result of Crespo's excellent performance in Serie A in the past ten years, and he has nothing to show except for a Dutch golden boot Honor, my only advantage is that I am young. Only with more efforts can I get a better position in Mancini's heart.

The new season of Serie A will start on September 9th. Inter Milan will play away against last season’s No.12 Naples team, but before that, they still have an important game to play, which is September 8th Italian Super Cup.

This is the third consecutive year that Inter Milan has participated in the Super Cup. The first two times they defeated Juventus and Roma 1:0 and 4:3 respectively. This time, their opponent is still last year's league runner-up. Roma.

In the past two or three years, Inter Milan has almost become the sufferer of Rome. The several championships they won almost all came over the corpse of Rome, especially last year's Super Cup, where Rome lost with a 3-0 lead. The competition, which also made Roma psychologically disadvantaged in the competition in the league to another extent, and has been under the pressure of Inter Milan.

In this game, Rome will not admit defeat easily.

Since 2005, a strange phenomenon in Serie A has become history, that is, the team that won the Super Cup before the season will definitely not win the league title this season-but Inter Milan has won the Super Cup for two consecutive seasons. Cup champion, also won the league championship for two seasons (one was awarded to Inter Milan after Juventus was relegated), which also made the Super Cup a favorite. It seems that the current saying has become that winning the Super Cup Can win the league championship...

Mancini knows that these are bullshit, whether to win the league championship or not depends on the strength and state of your team, not luck.

Therefore, for this game, Mancini is also bound to win. All the champions of this year, Inter Milan, will not be polite. To boost morale before the start of the new season, why not do it.

The main lineup sent by Mancini is basically the same as last year's main lineup, except Dacourt was replaced by Mascherano, and the other newcomers sat on the bench.

Roma has not changed much in personnel this year. Those who left and brought in are all substitute players. Spalletti's "no striker" lineup has been played at a high level, with Mancini and Taddei on the two wings, and all four in the middle. It is a figure with both offense and defense: De Rossi, Perotta, Pizarro and their prince Totti. Totti was in a very good state last year and won the top scorer in Serie A with 26 goals. The reason why Roma He has not been opened up by Inter Milan and his excellent state is inseparable.

The game was held at Meazza, the home of the league champion Inter Milan, but after a summer, the players obviously haven't been able to enter a good game state, and the scene was once very dull.

However, in the first half, Inter Milan broke the deadlock first. It was still their frequent scoring situation last season. After controlling the midfield, Inter Milan opened up Roma's defense with continuous short passes. Pei Weimiao Ibrahimovic was passed, and Ibrahimovic's shot was saved by Doni, but Crespo's keen sense of smell in front of the goal made him appear at the ball's landing point, a standard Crespo-style goal.

Spalletti shook his head off the field and sighed. Just now Pizarro and De Rossi failed to keep an eye on Pei Wei, which made him pass an almost lore ball, and Crespo's running position gave way to Qi Both Waugh and Mex couldn't grasp it, and this conceded goal was not wronged.

This is exactly the winning method that Inter Milan has become accustomed to last season. They use their own strong strength to make the opponent's offense unable to pose a threat, and then any player in the frontcourt can put the opponent to death with a flash of inspiration.

This is also the gap between Roma and Inter Milan. Except for Totti, Roma does not have a superstar who can change the situation on the field by himself. De Rossi Pizarro and his like can only be regarded as ordinary stars, not superstars.

The cooperation between Pei Wei and Ibrahimovic has been very tacit after a season. After Pei Wei got used to Ibrahimovic's almost random passing and running methods, the balls he passed became more tricky, which also made Roma's defense The players are very troubled, because you can't grasp where Ibrahimovic will run and where Pei Wei will pass the ball.

The defense is weak, Roma also have trouble in attack, Totti is closely marked no matter where he goes, Mascherano in the midfield, Materacci in the penalty area, the prince of Rome It was extremely frustrating to play in this game.

But a superstar is a superstar, even if you can restrain him from playing, he can still use other ways to show his role on the court.

Mancini made a breakthrough from the wing, and Totti rushed into the penalty area immediately. Materazci followed him closely, and Mascherano also ran into the penalty area, but after Mancini broke through, But he didn't pass the ball to Totti's feet, but passed the ball to the front of the penalty area. Due to Mascherano's pursuit, there was a small gap in that place.

Pizarro ran over. This year, Rome finally bought the remaining half of Pizarro's ownership after paying a price of 500 million euros. Pizarro, who was already a Roman, faced the international team that abandoned him. Milan will naturally not be soft.

With a tricky shot, the ball flew into the lower right foot of the goal against the turf. Although Cesar tried his best to pounce, he still couldn't stop the ball from entering the net.

Before the end of the first half, the Roma team made unremitting efforts to equalize the score.

After the start of the second half, the players of both sides gradually entered the state, and the game began to look good. Perhaps the two goals in the first half let both sides know that the opponent is not without flaws.

The second half entered into a fierce struggle at the beginning, and Spalletti kept yelling from the sidelines. Although the two years of leading Roma have been good and have been steadily improving, they have always failed to win a championship. But there is no way to explain things to the board of directors, even if it is a tasteless Super Bowl, Spalletti is bound to win.

But it is a pity that Mancini thinks the same way. Inter Milan has won the Super Cup twice in a row. In the history of Serie A, there is no team that can win the Super Cup for three consecutive years. Although it is not a big deal The honor, but Mancini's appetite is very big now, and it is something he is very happy to do to add a trophy to the club's honor room.

The game has entered a fever pitch, Inter Milan is relying on their strong overall strength to control the situation on the field, and Roma is not to be outdone. Although their midfielders are not as star-studded as Inter Milan, they are all capable Players, in the midfield competition, Roma is not at a disadvantage.

Side split, back pass, side dial, split side again, pull... Inter Milan showed their success in the training period, constantly passing the ball back and forth in Rome's half with fast short passes, allowing Rome's defenders They are exhausted.

However, doing so is also very risky. As long as the players' technical ability and coordination are slightly deviated, they are likely to be counterattacked by the opponent after the ball is intercepted. That will be a nightmare for Inter Milan. You know, even the two central defenders Materac and Cordoba have already overwhelmed halftime...

Several scouts in the stands were about to laugh their teeth off—is this the result of Mancini's more than half a month of training?This guy is so funny, you know, this kind of cooperation that looks very pleasing to the eye can't be done casually. Doing so will only compress the opponent's defense more and more tightly, and the offense will become more and more difficult. Difficult, especially when encountering underdogs in Serie A, they simply shrank into the penalty area, how do you still fight?
But as time went by, the faces of those scouts all changed—from the 5th minute after the start of the second half to the No. 20th minute, for a full 15 minutes, Inter Milan did not make a single pass, while Roma The team also seemed very irritated by the players because they could not grab the ball for a long time. After all, they are also a strong team. It would be fine if they were a weak team. Roma cannot afford to lose face.

Driven by the midfielder, Roma launched a frenzied press, and the true colors of the pack of wolves were revealed, but it is a pity that the skills of Inter Milan's personnel are all so good that there is nothing to say. .

Finally someone collapsed under such pressure. The irritated De Rossi didn't care about the danger zone, and directly knocked down Cambiasso at the front of the penalty area, giving Inter Milan a very threatening free kick. , and also received a yellow card.

The scouts finally know the effect of the series of inverse coordination of Inter Milan just now-maybe this kind of coordination is of no use against weak teams-people want you to waste time like this, but in the face of When there are opponents with almost the same level, such a tacit cooperation will definitely make the opponent feel restless. At that time, whether it is pressing out to siege or losing calm and fouling, Inter Milan will have an opportunity to take advantage of.

Pei Wei and Grosso stood in front of the ball, but everyone knew that Grosso was a cover. Although his free kick was not bad, it was still a bit worse than Pei Wei. Recoba was not on the field. Milan's best free kicker is Pei Wei.

But Pei Wei's next move was beyond everyone's expectations. After the referee blew the whistle, Pei Wei started to start. After running close to the ball, he actually jumped over the ball and ran directly to the front of the penalty area. .

Everyone's attention was on Grosso, who was following up behind him, but Grosso didn't shoot, but pushed the ball forward slightly!
The ball flew to the feet of Pei Wei who had already run to the front of the penalty area. Pei Wei, who was completely unguarded, swung his left foot and volleyed vigorously!

The ball flew into the goal, Doni didn't even have time to make a save, 2:1, Inter Milan took the lead again!
Nice free kick!Inter Milan completed the goal with just a pass and a shot. Pei Wei's run and Grosso's feint attracted the attention of almost all Roma defenders. Pei Wei shot from the penalty area line When he was shooting, there was no one around him to interfere. It was too easy for Pei Wei to shoot like this.

The backward Roma launched a fierce attack, but their fists were like hitting a ball of cotton. With three midfielders and four defenders, a defensive lineup of seven people made the offensive that the Romans are proud of fail to achieve any effect. , The ball will be stubbornly blocked as soon as it enters the 40-meter area of ​​Inter Milan's half, and the three nails left by Inter Milan in the frontcourt also caused the Romans a headache.

The only place where they have an advantage is probably the right side. Mancini and Deng Yunfeng behind are both players with excellent speed and impact. However, in front of a winger with speed, Grosso's tall body seems a bit bulky.

"Sure enough, Fabio seems a bit uncomfortable when facing speed players..." Mancini said softly to Baggio after rushing all the players on the bench to warm up.

"After all, he is 30 years old... Besides, he is not good at speed." Baggio thought for a while and said, "How about sending Wang? A player like Mancini seems to be right for him. .”

"It's not just him, I think we need to increase our speed on the court." Mancini said meaningfully.

In the second half of the game No.206 minutes, Mancini made a substitution, and there were three substitutions.

Wang Xiaomin replaced Grosso, C. Ronaldo replaced Vieira, and Zhuang Feng replaced Crespo.

Three rookies replaced three veterans, and three players whose average age was no more than 23 years old replaced three superstars whose average age was over 30 years old. Mancini's substitution was meaningful.

After Vieira left the field, Inter Milan's defense was much weaker. None of the players on the field could cover the front and back fields like him, but Ronaldo also had his own advantage, that is, the speed brought by the counterattack after stealing the ball .

Materac steals the ball in the backcourt. People always think that Materac is a grumpy defender. He defends fiercely and has a strong header. But almost everyone has forgotten that in Pe During Ruja's time, Materac was the player with the most goals in the team, and he was good at precise long passes from the backcourt.

After taking a look ahead, Materac swung his left foot and sent the ball long into the frontcourt before Perotta countered.

Cristiano Rodriguez started the sprint long before Materacci's pass, and the ball landed right in front of him as he reached top speed.

A beautiful cyclist, the handsome Portuguese boy got rid of Panucci, who was already exhausted, and successfully made a pass from the bottom. Zhuang Feng's running position attracted the attention of two defenders. Ibrahimovic came in from the back row, and a Powerful header!

"Dang!" The ball hit the lintel and bounced off the baseline, almost scaring the goalkeeper Doni into a cold sweat.

This attack reminded the Romans that C. Ronaldo's reputation is not in vain. His speed and technique have become the nightmare of many Premier League defenders. The defenders of Rome now know that they want to control Inter Milan. Counterattack is not just about keeping an eye on Pei Wei.

After C. Ronaldo played, Inter Milan's tactics changed again. They increased the long pass in the counterattack. You must know that both Materac and Cambiasso are good at long pass. With three fast players, such a standard defensive counterattack will cause headaches for all teams.

Originally, Roma's daring to press boldly was to bully Inter Milan's lack of speed in the frontcourt. It was enough to keep up with two people beside Pei Wei. Although Ibrahimovic had good skills, his speed was not fast, and Crespo was a pure The shooter who grabs points, and now, whether it is C. Luo, Pei Wei or Zhuang Feng, their speed is very fast, and the Roman defenders no longer dare to press too much.

As time slowly passed, Roma's chances became less and less. At this time, Inter Milan made another successful counterattack.

Pizarro put in an assist, but Inter Milan's defense is still very tightly organized. Although Vieira is off, Inter Milan still maintains a defensive lineup of six players in the backcourt, facing six strong defenders Team members, not everyone can find a flaw.

Pizarro was observing the flaws of Inter Milan, but Pei Wei quietly covered it from behind. At this time, the vigilance of a player made Pizarro aware of the danger, and at this time, Perotta's voice also arrived : "Be careful behind!"

Pizarro didn't have time to think about it, and immediately passed the ball. At this time, Pei Wei's foot also arrived, and Pizarro was shocked. Pei Wei's defense didn't seem to be so good before, but the feeling just now was good. It's like having a professional defender come up from behind and pass the ball.

Although Pei Wei's interception was not successful, it also achieved a certain effect - Pizarro's hasty pass was not very good, and there was still some distance from his goal of Mancini Jr.

Little Mancini galloped towards the ball, but a figure followed closely behind him.

This guy doesn't seem to be slower than me!Little Mancini thought in his heart, but he soon realized that he was wrong—not only was Wang Xiaomin chasing behind him not slower than him, but seemed to be a little faster—he was one body behind him just now, but now he is already behind him. Chased to keep pace with him.

Unconvinced, Mancini accelerated his sprint speed, but it was too late. Wang Xiaomin succeeded in one step faster than him. At the same time, he used his body to hold up Mancini's attack, and kicked the ball forward. Pei Wei.

Pei Wei stopped the ball, pulled the ball and turned around. A series of actions in one go immediately threw off De Rossi, but Pizarro and Perotta immediately rushed towards him. Pei Wei did not entangle with them, but kicked directly Long pass, the ball hit the right.

As soon as C. Luo ran to his position, Pei Wei's pass arrived. The proud C. Luo was a little surprised at the accuracy of Pei Wei's long pass.

But now is not the time to sigh, C. Ronaldo gently put the ball down, and then made two consecutive movements of stepping on a bicycle, trying to get rid of Panucci as before, but the Italian veteran will not be fooled again, his movements Just made it, Panucci's feet arrived.

The ball rolled out. Fortunately, Ronaldo's second reaction was quick, and he immediately turned around to protect the ball again, but now he has no intention of underestimating the Italian defender.

A veteran who has begun to decline can make such a beautiful tackle. It seems that Italy is really not a good place to mess around.

"Hey! This way!" Pei Wei's voice came from next to his ear, and C. Luo glanced, just in time to see that Pei Wei had run not far from him.

This guy's running position is really erratic, C. Luo sighed in his heart, Pei Wei was still near the middle circle just now, so he reached the front of the penalty area in the blink of an eye?
Pei Wei took the ball in front of the penalty area, and the defensive midfielders who were in charge of watching him had already been thrown away by his speed. Naturally, the Roman defenders would not give him an unguarded shot. Chivu rushed out from the penalty area to defend him. And Mexes closely stared at Ibrahimovic in the penalty area.

Pei Wei didn't even look at the situation in the penalty area, and directly kicked the ball into the penalty area, and the ball's landing point made Spalletti almost desperate off the field-the ball flew towards the unguarded Zhuang Feng!
At this time, Deng Yunfeng rushed over, and the other teammates might relax their vigilance against Zhuang Feng because they were not familiar with him, but as he had participated in the Asian Cup with Zhuang Feng, he fully understood Zhuang Feng's terror in the penalty area. at.

Deng Yunfeng's defense has won the essence of Italian defenders. Whether it is one-on-one or personal marking, he has reached a relatively high level, but it is a pity that the confrontation with Zhuang Feng this time is for a high ball.

In terms of high ball competition, Deng Yunfeng is at a disadvantage. He is only 1.7 meters seven, seven centimeters shorter than Zhuang Feng, and his jumping ability is not as good as Zhuang Feng. Zhuang Feng was far behind.

So although he jumped up following Zhuang Feng, he couldn't stop Zhuang Feng from finishing his shot...

A beautiful lion shook his head, and the ball suddenly changed direction and flew into the upper left corner of the goal!
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Zhuang Feng! The Eredivisie Golden Boot scored his first goal after joining Inter Milan! It's really wonderful! Inter Milan expanded the score!"

After scoring the goal, Zhuang Feng was very excited. He tore off his jersey and threw it out, then roared at the stands with his upper body naked.

Even he himself did not expect that his first goal in Inter Milan would come so quickly, and it was still in such an official game, so it is no wonder that he lost his composure like this.

"Haha! Zhuang Feng! I pass the ball and you shoot! This seems to be the first time!" Pei Wei laughed and jumped onto Zhuang Feng's back from behind, laughing in his ear.

Other teammates also came up to congratulate him. Wang Xiaomin's cheerful personality was loved by everyone on the first day he came to Inter Milan. Even his competitor Grosso got along very well with him. Compared with Zhuang Feng is not so popular. Although he is handsome, he doesn't like to talk, and because he doesn't understand Italian and Spanish, there are not many people he can communicate with in Inter Milan.

But for a football player, his performance on the field can conquer other people's hearts even more.

Moratti and Marcio in the stands smiled happily. The game has almost been won. What made them even more happy was that four of the five new players introduced this summer have already played, and their performances are not bad. Yes, this also shows that their vision is right.

In this game, Inter Milan finally defeated Roma again by relying on the three goals of Crespo, Pei Wei and Zhuang Feng. Hey, why do you say again?He won the first trophy of the new season, the Italian Super Cup, which made a good start for the new league.

For Wang Xiaomin, Zhuang Feng, C. Luo and Mascherano, the outstanding performance in this game also added a lot of weight to their chances of playing throughout the season.

There is one more week before the new season begins.
