Chapter 439 The Real Devil's Schedule

I'm really afraid of something!
In the Champions League final last season, although Inter Milan beat Barcelona 3:0, that does not mean that Inter Milan is that much stronger than Barcelona.

At that time, the strengths of the two sides were very close, but Inter Milan was in a better state at that time.

And this season, Inter Milan is not as strong as last season.

The state of Maicon and Milito fell off a cliff.

It's not just them, the state of many Inter Milan players is declining.

A group of veterans have lost their fighting spirit a little after receiving honors that are enough to boast for a lifetime.

Zanetti, Lucio, Stankovic, Motta and even Sneijder, this list can list many names.

Moreover, Samuel, the absolute main force of Inter Milan last season, has now been reimbursed for the season.

The overall strength of Inter Milan has undoubtedly declined a lot compared to last season.

In contrast to Barcelona, ​​their overall strength has not only not declined, but has even become stronger.

The arrival of "Gourd Baby" Villa has made up for Barcelona's shortcomings.

The Spaniard's hard power is slightly worse than Ibrahimovic, but he is also an absolute superstar.

And his style of play is very suitable for Barcelona. For Barcelona, ​​he is definitely a better choice than Ibrahimovic.

In addition to the unsatisfactory height and header, Villa and Barcelona are simply a perfect match.

Even in the famous film and television performances, Villa also has a wonderful performance of "Six Rolling".

Under the ebb and flow, Inter Milan wants to beat Barcelona again, and the difficulty can be imagined.

Even Inter Milan, which was at its peak last season, didn't want to meet Barcelona, ​​let alone this season?

When Inter Milan sighed their bad luck, Barcelona was very satisfied with the draw.

Everyone knows that Inter Milan's current state is not good. This is not a good sign, but it is by no means a bad sign.

What's more, how long has it been since they lost in the final last season?

There are grievances with each other, and the Barcelona players naturally desire revenge!
Especially Guardiola.

He was also facing the same pressure that Cruyff once faced after losing to Inter Milan in the final last season.

Cruyff and his dream team, after the disastrous defeat to AC Milan, slowly fell apart.

Cruyff himself also resigned from the front line to the management, giving pointers to the younger generation as a whole.

Guardiola is still very young, so naturally he doesn't want to back down so soon.

But the pressure on him from the outside world is not small.

In the eyes of many people, he was able to lead the team to win the six championships, and the credit is not his.

Barcelona's insistence on its own style for many years is one point, the football concept brought by Cruyff is one point, and the legacy left by Van Gaal, Rijkaard and other predecessors is another point.

In short, Guardiola, a young man, is at his peak when he debuted, and many of the credits are not his own.

In addition, it is a traditional skill in the football circle that the head coach takes the blame.

The reason for Barcelona's disastrous defeat in the final was naturally attributed to Guardiola.

Guardiola did not refute, but there must be chest tightness.

Now is the chance for revenge!

Here's your chance to prove yourself!
Inter Milan is worried, while Barcelona is gearing up.

But now is not the time, the Champions League knockout round is still some time away.

………………

………………

In the 30th round of the league, Inter Milan played against Lecce at home.

Lecce is currently ranked 18th in the league. According to this ranking, they will be relegated to the end.

Facing such a team, Inter Milan played very hard.

After a week of consecutive double matches, Inter Milan, which already had potential physical and injury risks, was already exhausted at this time.

At Inter Milan's home court, Lecce created opportunities many times. If the opponent's striker was not strong enough, Inter Milan might have conceded the ball long ago.

It wasn't until the 72nd minute that Li Ze received a long pass from Lucio and broke into the penalty area with the ball behind his back, before rewriting the score.

1: 0!

This is also the final score of the game.

The overall shot ratio was 9 to 13, and the previous shot number belonged to Inter Milan.

The situation of the whole game can be seen from this shooting ratio.

But no matter how thrilling it was, Inter Milan won the game after all, without being pulled down by Milan.

In the same round, Milan also encountered difficulties when facing Palermo.

Until the 88th minute of the game, Milan was 0:1 behind their opponents.

But in the final time, Pato and Ibrahimovic scored successively and successfully saved the team to get 3 points.

In the Champions League, Milan encountered Real Madrid under Mourinho.

Lost 0:1 at home in the first round, and was tied at the away game in the second round.

This is obviously not good news for Inter Milan.

After being eliminated from the Champions League, Milan can concentrate on playing in the domestic league.

The situation on Inter Milan's side is even worse.

联赛第30轮的比赛是3月20日举行的，而第31轮的联赛要等到4月2日。

The rest time of nearly half a month is simply a luxury for professional players.

Benitez also took the opportunity to give the players a vacation and let everyone rest.

But I dare not let everyone rest too much. The real rest time is only two days, and the rest of the time needs to participate in training to maintain state.

Even so, it is enough.

Even Li Ze did not train during this period of time.

In the coming April, Inter Milan will have to face not only the domestic league, but also the Champions League and Coppa Italia.

When the schedule is the tightest, they even have to face three games a week!
This is a huge test for Inter Milan's physical reserves!

Even at this time, Benitez is already considering whether he should strategically abandon the Coppa Italia.

Just considering the end, he still decided to grit his teeth.

The shadow Mourinho left on him was too great, and he had to find a way to break through.

Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to have much say here, and even until now, many players in the team miss the Portuguese.

And if you want to break through the shadow of the madman, the best way is undoubtedly to win the Triple Crown once.

Benítez knew he was far-fetched, and knew it was impossible, but he decided to give it a go.

Whether he can do it is one thing, but whether he dares to show such an attitude is another matter.

It can also be said that this is a "bright sword" spirit, and Benitez never thought of losing without a fight.

However, the upcoming schedule is really tense, and Inter Milan's physical strength and injury status are indeed worrying.

It is not unheard of for a giant team to collapse due to a physical breakdown at the last moment.

The former Real Madrid suffered a five-game losing streak in the last 5 rounds of the league, and that was still in the period of the Galacticos.

The lessons learned from the past are there, and Benitez must be cautious.

Although he doesn't intend to give up, he must have priorities.

The league is the top priority, followed by the Champions League. After all, they have encountered Barcelona, ​​and the possibility of winning is relatively low.

The Coppa Italia is the secondary of the secondary. After all, if it is not for the Triple Crown, this championship has almost no gold content.

In the case of the Coppa Italia, let those vigorous starters plus some substitute players play.

Benitez thought for a while, and wrote Li Ze's name first.
