Lord of Greenery

Chapter 462

There is no need to prove Li Ze's importance to Inter Milan.

With Inter Milan's "old, weak, sick and disabled" lineup, they were able to eliminate Barcelona, ​​the strongest in Europe, and Li Ze deserved the most credit.

In the two rounds, Inter scored a total of 5 goals for Barcelona, ​​4 of which were scored by Li Ze.

In the Champions League knockout match against Barcelona, ​​he can still have such a performance. Li Ze's strength can be reflected simply by statistics, and there is no need for any extra words.

It's better to say that redundant modifiers are not as shocking as this data.

For Li Ze, it is not impossible to change a group of weaker teammates and let him defeat Rome in a life-and-death situation.

And the situation in Rome is not very good. The former coach Ranieri left in February this year.

During that period of time, Roma suffered a four-game losing streak in all competitions, and was even reversed by Genoa 3:4.

After the game, Ranieri himself was shy and offered to resign, and the Roma executives agreed.

And he was replaced by Montella, a former professional star who played for Rome.

The Italian star nicknamed "Little Airplane" had the brightest performance in his career when he beat Nesta on the ground during the Lazio period.

He scored 4 goals in that game, and even played Nesta in midfield and was replaced directly.

As the number one central defender in the world for quite a long time, Nesta was kicked out by Montella at the lowest moment in his career.

Although as a star, Montella is not as good as a superstar, but he is still quite good.

But as the head coach, Montella, who has just retired at the age of 37, is just a newcomer in the true sense.

His right to speak in the team is not even as good as Totti.

Rather, with Totti's strong personality and inherent ball dominance attributes, Totti is willing to listen to Montella's words.

When Montella played in Rome, Totti was the core of the team.

His status at that time was higher than that of Montella, and he regarded this elder brother as a younger brother.

Montella is very clear about his position when he thinks about it. In any case, he can't command Totti, and De Rossi can barely try.

In any case, it is impossible to succeed, and Montella is also very realistic. He gave most of the right to speak to Totti, and he only did some basic work and accumulated a little experience by the way.

Having been professional players for more than ten years, they know the most difficult thing to let go of, and football is the only thing left.

If Montella still wants a high-paying job in the future, becoming the head coach is undoubtedly the best choice.

Guardiola's success has also given confidence to many former professional stars.

Guardiola can be a blockbuster, and these coaches who are also players who become monks, why can't they replicate Guardiola's success?
And with Guardiola's successful precedent, the club executives will be more willing to give these former professional players a chance.

Rather, there have been many precedents for players transforming into head coaches before.

For example, Carlo Ancelotti, Deschamps and Heynckes. Ancelotti was once a member of the Milan dynasty. Deschamps was a great contributor to the French World Cup champion. Monaco led the team to the Champions League final, and will lead the French team to win the Hercules Cup again in the future as the head coach.

As for Heynckes, he is a player at Borussia's historical level. He won 4 league championships, 1 UEFA Cup championship and 1 Champions League runner-up in Borussia. He lost to Liverpool.

He has also won two League Golden Boots, one European Cup Winners Cup Golden Boot, one Europa League Golden Boot, and one Champions League Golden Boot. Ski surpassed.

In the national team, his peak period coincided with that of Gerd Muller, and he was only a substitute most of the time, but he won the European Cup in 72 and the World Cup in 74 with the team.

In the eyes of many, Heynckes could perfectly play the same role without Gerd Müller in that morale.

In terms of historical status, Heynckes can also be ranked in the top [-] in history.

It can be said that there may be more and more players like Montella turning into coaches in the future.

And the representative figure of the future is undoubtedly Zidane.

As a top ten football superstar in history, Zidane's experience as a head coach is also quite legendary.

Just coaching the team, he was just a rookie, and he led Real Madrid to win the Champions League.

Later, he led the team to achieve three consecutive Champions League championships, allowing Ronaldo to complete the miracles that Cruyff and Beckenbauer had accomplished.

Considering that the current Champions League is more competitive than that time, the gold content of Ronaldo's own honor is no less than that of the ball saint and football emperor.

Although Inter Milan knows that Montella is just a rookie, Benitez still dare not underestimate him.

With Guardiola's precedent, no one can say whether a head coach can make his debut or peak.

Moreover, Ranieri's dismissal is also a good thing for Rome.

He himself is not good at leading a team with a mature system, so he is called a "tinker".

His departure will also boost morale in Rome.

It's not that he makes the Roma players hate him so much, this kind of thing is actually quite common.

After changing the head coach, except for individual players, other players will be more or less worried about their position.

It is not unheard of for the core of the first head coach to be replaced by a new head coach and sit on the bench.

Krasic’s future encounters can illustrate this point. Hazard was also deeply suspected during the Chelsea period, because every time the team changed the head coach, his performance was ridiculously strong. After the whole season, his performance dropped a lot, and he was once suspected of acting.

Although Montella is very familiar with many Roma players, being a head coach is completely different from being an assistant. They are no longer the friendship of the players.

During the player period, Mancini and Vieri were good brothers.

Later, Mancini became the head coach of Inter Milan, and directly put Vieri on the bench, without any scruples about the old feelings.

As your identity changes, the way you get along will naturally change as well.

As long as the Roma players are not stupid, after Montella coaches, they will devote themselves to the game more seriously.

The only maverick is Totti. As the core of the team, he is no different from Montella all day long.

Sometimes, Montella himself was afraid of his old teammate.

He always felt that the other party's mind was immature, and his mentality was no different from that of a giant baby.

Other players have high emotional intelligence, but Totti can realize that Montella's identity has changed, and he still treats Montella with the old attitude.

Montella can feel that because of the way Totti gets along with him, other Roma players are getting closer and closer to him.

This is not a good thing!
But Montella couldn't say anything more, he couldn't resist Totti.

Fortunately, he was just a firefighter.

Montella was a little thankful.

　ps: Can the title not be changed...
