Chapter 102
"Let's welcome new arrivals!"

On the afternoon of March 3, at the first training session after the game, Marco Silva said with a smile on his face.

Lu Feng smiled and shook his head. Those teammates applauded enthusiastically, and some even blew a whistle.

Silva put away his smile and restored his serious face:
"Enough joking, I hope you didn't waste your time this week, because the situation we have ahead will be more serious than ever."

Assistant coach Topher posted a huge schedule on the wall, and everyone gasped:
On March 3, the first round of the Europa League round of 12, at home.

On March 3, the 15th round of the Portuguese Super League, away.

On March 3, the second round of the Europa League, away.

On March 3, the 22th round of the Portuguese Super League, at home.

This is equivalent to playing 10 games in a row within 4 days!And two away games!

The next two weeks... is the national team competition week!

Immediately afterwards, on April 4th, the 4th round of the Portuguese Super League, away.

On April 4, the Portuguese League Cup semi-final, away.

On April 4, the second round of the Portuguese Cup semi-final, at home.

On March 4, the 13th round of the Portuguese Super League, away.

Another 10 games in 4 days!Three away games!

Looking at the players with painful expressions, Topher was still in the mood to make a joke:
"Guys, thank Portugal for being a small country, if it was as big as Russia or China, we'd have to sleep on the plane!"

Silva looked around the training room and said in a deep voice:

"In the last two months, our physical reserves have actually had some problems, so in many games, we have to rotate. But... the Europa League two days later must not be within this range, you understand ?"
-
The time for Sporting Lisbon is indeed very tight. They only had two days of training before they ushered in their next opponent.

March 3, 12:19 in the evening.

If it was three or four seasons ago, the players of Sporting Lisbon would not be able to lift their heads in front of Inter Milan, because at that time they were facing the players who had just won the Serie A, Italian Cup, Italian Super Cup, Champions League, World Cup and so on. Looking forward to the Serie A Club Cup, the European champion, and the world hegemony!
But only three or four years later, Marco Silva looked at Mancini who just shook hands with him, and there was no fluctuation in his heart, but he wanted to laugh.

The era of the Great International is long over!
Now their opponent is nothing but the eighth mid-range team in Serie A!
Compared with Wolfsburg, who was eliminated in the last round of the Bundesliga, Inter Milan is only a younger brother!
-
Mancini felt bitter.

Of course he knows what Inter Milan has been like in the past two years.

Last season, club chairman Moratti finally sold his beloved team to Indonesian businessman Tohir, and the team officially entered the throes of reconstruction.

The change of top management has undoubtedly affected the team's record. In the 13-14 season, Inter Milan only ranked fifth, and they did not gain any honor.

After only three months in the new season, the head coach Mazzarri was fired by the new boss. Thohir found the meritorious coach Mancini to come back to fight the fire, but he did not expect that Mancini, who once led Inter Milan to win the championship, was soft-handed. However, Chini encountered dissatisfaction with the environment. In the past four months after taking over the team, the league ranking has only risen from No.9 to No. 9, and there are only two more goal difference than No. [-]...

There is no doubt that the level of Mancini as a coach is not too low, but if he wants to revive the big international by himself, he needs a certain amount of time, a lot of money, high-level players, and the trust of the top management. Obviously, He has none of these things, so he is doomed to fail.

He knew all this, but he still took the burden.

It's like he knows that Sporting Lisbon has terrible offensive firepower, but he still puts on a posture to attack Marco Silva!
-
"Argentina's seventh striker, someone who is incompatible with Messi, Meazza Fudo, Tin Woodman, Beryllium", Mauro Icardi, "Braided", Rodrigo Palacio, "Switzerland Messi", Xherdan Shaqiri, "Gattuso of Chile", Gary Medel, "Brazilian Prophet", Anderson Hernanez, plus all-around midfielder Freddie Guarin, this is Inter Milan's midfield lineup.

In all fairness, none of the six frontcourt players is mediocre, and the cheapest one is worth over 1000 million euros. Under 500 million...

"drop!"

The referee from England blew the whistle to start the game.

"Install the radio, install the radio, what you are watching now is the first round of the 2014-15 UEFA Europa League quarter-finals, Sporting Lisbon vs. Inter Milan at home, this game will be commented by Gong Lei and I .”

Since PPTV monopolized the copyright of Sporting Lisbon's live broadcast in the league early, CCTV5 commentator He Wei did not finally get the chance to play until the Europa League match.

He first lowered his head and read the starting lineups of both sides, and then asked:

"Director Gong, what do you think of this match?"

Sitting next to him is the former international footballer, "the only Chinese nominated for the World Footballer of the Year", "Tahiti Ball King" Gong Lei. Faced with this problem, he talked eloquently:

"Objectively speaking, although Inter Milan has encountered many things in the past two years, and the team's recent record is not satisfactory, whether it is the background of the team, the experience and strength of the players, the breadth and depth of the lineup, and the level of tactical literacy of the coach , they are still better than Sporting Lisbon, even in an away game, they will have a certain advantage."

Then he turned around:
"Of course, we can't ignore that Sporting Lisbon has such a scoring weapon like Lu Feng, he almost single-handedly led Sporting Lisbon to double-beat Bundesliga powerhouse Wolfsburg.

However, with Mancini's rich coaching experience, he will definitely take special care of Lu Feng.Especially Lu Feng's poor physical condition has been exposed before, will Mancini find an opportunity to take advantage of it? "

He Wei felt a little uncomfortable when he heard it. He didn't quite understand why this Chinese football veteran seemed to be standing on the side of Inter Milan, helping Mancini find a way to break Lu Feng?

What made him even more uncomfortable was... Before he had time to refute the guest's analysis, Inter Milan scored a goal!
This is the 5th minute of the game. An attack from Inter Milan did not pose a threat. Sporting Lisbon's full-back Jefferson was about to drive the ball forward. The visiting team's full-back D'Ambrosio suddenly crossed the midfield to form a press. Unprepared, Jefferson panicked , There is a stir of garlic under your feet!
After D'Ambrosio succeeded, he stabbed the ball to Icardi not far away. The "second brother" did not take the ball and ran for tens of meters, but stood still without moving a step, perfectly maintaining his "Fudo Mingwang" The true colors of heroes!

Although his position did not move, his feet sent a precise through ball. Palacio, who had already accelerated in advance, easily formed a single-handed shot directly facing the goalkeeper, and a push shot from 14 meters away went straight to the far end of the goal!
0-1!

Italy's No.8 scored the goal of Portugal's No.6 in less than 2 minutes! -
"Good job!"

A slightly weird smile appeared on Mancini's mouth.

His assistant has already run to the sidelines, making a simple gesture to the celebrating players.

This gesture is so simple and clear that the narrator sitting thousands of miles away can see it clearly.

"Mancini...ready to change tactics!"

He Wei felt his eyelids jump up:
"Inter Milan, which has taken a one-goal lead... is ready to defend and counterattack away!"

Mancini shrugged:

As an Italian team, as a team deeply influenced by Mourinho's tactical style, after taking the lead...of course we must choose to defend and counterattack!
