magic coach

Inter Milan's good luck continued in the third round against last season's dark horse Chievo. In this game, Chievo clearly had the upper hand, but they hit several goalposts in a row. As a result, Inter Milan passed a penalty. A mistake with the opponent defeated Chievo 2:1, because both Juventus and Milan were tied by their opponents this round, and Inter Milan, which started with three consecutive victories, continued to lead the standings like last season.

However, Inter Milan was not so lucky in the UEFA Champions League. They faced the Eredivisie giants Ajax in the second round. Inter Milan was at least two chips lower, but Inter Milan had the advantage of occupying the home court, and there was nothing they could do about Ajax. In the end, the two sides had to shake hands 0:0.

The league is no longer the most important goal for Inter Milan. After two consecutive championships, the Serie A championship has greatly reduced the satisfaction of Inter Milan players, fans and clubs. What they want most now is the Champions League. Now, Inter Milan two After Lianping, it has become a little difficult to qualify for the group stage. If they still can't win later, maybe they will make a joke about the defending champion's fate in the top 16.

The current problem of Inter Milan is obvious. It is not a problem with strength or tactics, but a problem with the mentality of the players. They are arrogant, not only lacking a normal heart, but also lacking the patience to fight hard. When defending intensively, Inter Milan's players lack the patience to organize. Everyone wants to be a savior, everyone wants to be a hero. No less than two second-tier teams.

Of course Jiang Mu wanted to rectify, but after winning two Serie A titles, a UEFA Cup title and a Champions League title in a row, even Jiang Mu himself lacked the motivation to make progress, not to mention those players, they were not one or two players, but Most of the players. If Jiang Mu wanted to rectify, he would have to replace the entire main force.

However, the team can’t be defeated like this. Jiang Mu still adjusted the main players. Vieri, Pirlo and Ronaldinho were all put on the bench and replaced by Forlan and Adri Newcomers and substitutes like Jarno and Recoba do not cooperate well enough, and their personal ability is worse than the above three, but they are aggressive. Vieri stands in the opponent's half in a game, almost He didn't go back to defend, but Adriano can regard himself as a defender. The running distance in a game is almost twice that of Vieri, which made Jiang Mu make up his mind to put Vieri in the on the bench.

Pirlo's problem is that he is not active in running. In the first two seasons, Inter Milan's three armies used their lives and everyone scrambled to be the first. 11 people could not run to death. Pirlo ran two steps less, but this season Inter Milan's running ability has dropped significantly. However, it is not so easy for Pirlo to control the rhythm leisurely. He will be surrounded by three or four opponents at any time. Headache.

Ronaldinho's problem is that he is keen on individual performances. After helping Brazil win the World Cup, Ronaldinho's name has become a household name. He has won the club and national team Grand Slam at a young age. Ronaldinho's self-motivation has also disappeared. All his motivation is to win the World Footballer and European Footballer. Therefore, although Ronaldinho is very active on some occasions, he is too individualistic. It didn't fit Jiang Mu's overall tactics, so Jiang Mu had no choice but to push him to the bench as well.

The three men that Jiang Mu won are the absolute main force of Inter Milan's triple crown last season. They are world-renowned superstars. They and Ronaldo who left are the symbols of Inter Milan in the eyes of the fans. But now, they are also taken by Jiang Mu. Mu took it down, this is not killing a chicken for the monkey to see, this is killing the monkey for the chicken to see, so how can those "chickens" not be afraid.

The effect of players' fear is obvious. Inter Milan finally won the third UEFA Champions League group match, beating Ligue 2 champions Lyon 1:4, and easily defeated Piacenza, Forlan and Adria 1:[-] in the fourth round of Serie A. Nuo scored two goals each, making the fans almost forget Ronaldinho, Vieri and Pirlo.

In the fourth round, Juventus drew again, and the points gap with Inter Milan has reached 4 points, which puts them in a passive situation in the next Italian national derby with Inter Milan, and they must not lose , losing points will be even bigger, and may even lose the possibility of winning the championship early.

Juventus was the biggest opponent of Inter Milan last season. At the beginning of last season, Juventus performed poorly, but then Juventus fully demonstrated what is called resilience. They kept the suspense of the championship until the end. It is the hero who has maintained the attractiveness of Serie A, but this season Lippi does not want to be in the situation of being behind and catching up. Last season, catching up was too hard and too passive. The feeling of fate in the hands of others is really not good.

Before the game, Lippi told the "Turino Sport" reporter who interviewed him: "We didn't start well last season, which made us very passive. We must not repeat the tragedy of last season this season. We must win every game and try to narrow the points gap between the two sides to within one game."

The reporter of "Torino Sport" asked Lippi why Inter Milan put the three superstars on the bench now. Do the three Inter Milan superstars have a chance to play in this game?

To this, Lippi did not answer directly, he said that it was a private matter of Inter Milan, and he was inconvenient to comment, but whether the three superstars had any hope of playing, Lippi said: "Maybe in the match against other teams, the three The big superstars will be placed on the bench, but in the national derby with Juventus, it is impossible for Jiang Mu to put them all on the bench. Even if Inter Milan has the ability to use the bench to beat Juventus, the three superstars in this Not being able to play in major competitions will also bring great pressure, especially as all three of them are expected to compete for the World Footballer of the Year and European Footballer of the Year."

Lippi's analysis is correct. Jiang Mu holds a four-point advantage. Even if he loses, he is still one point ahead of Juventus. If Milan wins, Inter Milan will be one point behind at most, but Jiang Mu feels The pressure is still the attitude of the three superstars towards this game.

Sitting on the bench in the previous round, although the three of Ronaldinho complained in private, fans and the media did not pay attention to an underdog like Piacenza, and they did not say anything, as usual They talked and laughed in the same way, but before the national derby, Ronaldinho went to Jiang Mu's office first.

"Coach, I don't want to miss this game."

Ronaldinho and Jiang Mu can also be regarded as mentors and apprentices for many years. Although there have been some gaps between them, when their tongues and teeth touch each other, the relationship between the two is quite good.

Jiang Mu is not surprised at Ronaldinho's request at all. He is sure that Ronaldinho wants to win the World Footballer and European Footballer. He will definitely participate in this world-renowned national derby.

"We must win this game. Juventus is one of our biggest enemies. Among the teams that can win the championship this season, only they and Milan can threaten us to defend the title. Do you have confidence in this?" Jiang Mu said pleasantly road.

Ronaldinho patted his chest, "I will definitely be able to help the team win this national derby."

Jiang Mu laughed, and said straight to the point: "Ronaldinho, do you know why I put you on the bench?"

Ronaldinho froze for a moment and said, "I don't know."

Jiang Mu said: "Because you are too independent, you want to pass people when you get the ball, and you want to shoot when you pass people. Do you think this way of playing football is right or not? Do you think it will have a big impact and help on the team?"

Ronaldinho's head bowed.

Jiang Mu continued: "Ronaldinho, you have to understand that football is a team sport. At some point, the individual performance of a superstar can determine the direction of the game, and even determine the outcome of the game, but from the entire season From the looks of it, the free play of geniuses still has a bad impact on the team. Other players will also have opinions. Do you think so?"

Ronaldinho nodded heavily and said, "I understand the coach."

Jiang Mu said: "I'm afraid you don't understand. In a game, the stars will not shine too much, and not too much. If the stadium is full of stars shining, then it is not called shining. There is no comparison. You won't be surprised anymore, so reduce the prevalence of individualism."

Ronaldinho was obedient, since Jiang Mu agreed to let him play, he naturally listened attentively.

After Ronaldinho left, Pirlo and Vieri went to Jiang Mu's office together. Their purpose was the same as Ronaldinho's, they both came to ask for a fight.

Jiang Mu put the three of them on the bench to intimidate other players, not because he really wanted to be sidelined from now on. With the ambitious goals he set this season, without the help of these three stars, Inter Milan would still be in danger. It’s really hard to achieve. Now that Vieri and Pirlo have admitted their mistake, Jiang Mu is also happy to go along with it. He taught Pirlo and Vieri a few words, and then talked to them in detail about the match against Juventus. How to play, what role they should play, Vieri and Pirlo communicated with Jiang Mu for 10 minutes, and the two left with satisfaction.
