Greenery on the back

Chapter 447
Hearing that Ranocchia said that Yue Feng gave way to him on purpose, although Gretzka didn't doubt it, she was still a little surprised.

From Yue Feng's performance just now, he could also see that the other party was saving face for him.

But Gretzka always thought that Yue Feng was afraid of his own reputation and status, and he didn't dare to be too presumptuous.

As soon as the head coach said that the opponent did this deliberately for the sake of unity and the overall situation, Grezka suddenly felt as uncomfortable as his face was on fire.

Then, Grezka suddenly ran away, leaving Nokia alone on the sidelines.

"Hey Leon, what are you doing?"

"I'm going to find Yue, and I want to apologize to him."

Gretzka's tall back became smaller and smaller as he ran, which made Ranocchia heave a sigh of relief. It seems that Empoli's dressing room will no longer have problems in the future.

That night, another quarter-final of the Coppa Italia was also decided.

Inter Milan and Atalanta, which are in the same half of the area as Empoli, compete for the semi-finals.

The duel between the blue and black derby was extremely hot. The two teams launched a fierce confrontation and staged a goal battle.

In the end, Inter Milan eliminated Atlanta with a score of 3:2 and advanced to the semi-finals.

After learning that the next opponent was Inter Milan, Ranocchia's head went up twice.

He is a veteran of Inter Milan, so he naturally knows that the Nerazzurri are not so easy to deal with.

In the first half of the season, although Inter Milan's performance was not satisfactory, they can still hold on to the top three in Serie A, and it is appropriate to enter the Champions League.

During this winter break, Inter Milan resolutely spent a lot of money to invite the old coach Simeone to take charge of the coach. Under his strict management of the army, the entire team has obviously improved to a higher level.

Not long after taking over, he won the strong Atalanta in the Coppa Italia, which is a good proof.

In the player era, Simeone also played for Inter Milan. As a midfielder, he also won the Europa League with the team.

The return of Simeone has excited the old fans of Inter Milan.

His words of "going back to Inter Milan sooner or later" more than ten years ago have finally come true now.

Bandit Shuai, who is about to turn 60 years old now, is about to fight in the old battlefield he is familiar with in Inter Milan-Serie A.

At this moment, in the league, the top battle between Inter Milan and Juventus is also in full swing.

As for the Coppa Italia, Simeone did not give up. Inter Milan's current bench is deep enough to maintain multi-line operations.

Ranocchia looked at Inter Milan's information, feeling more and more uncertain.

Can you beat Simeone by yourself?This is simply delusional.

I had to bite the bullet and go on...

The Coppa Italia journey has been bumpy and bumpy, and they have encountered strong teams. Ranocchia thought about it but became hard-headed. Anyway, losing is not ashamed, so just do it.

The semi-finals of the Coppa Italia are quite special. There are home and away games, and a total of two rounds are played to determine the outcome.

On February 2, Empoli will go to the Meazza Stadium again for the first round away game against Inter Milan.

In order to better understand the opponent, Ranocchia also specially called Yue Feng and Uchida Maren to the office to ask about the current situation of Inter Milan's first team players one by one.

Yue Feng and the others played in the Inter Milan youth team, so they must know the opponent's players better than themselves.

Ranocchia opened the file in front of the two, and focused on the information of several players:

"Sami, the No. 6 defensive midfielder, has been playing as a substitute before, but Simeone has taken him very seriously after he came." Ranocchia pointed to a tall and strong player in the file.

Yue Feng nodded, "Sami's interception ability is very good, and his physical confrontation is also very strong. We have played against each other in the team."

Looking at this familiar face, he couldn't help but think of the practice match arranged by head coach Chivu after winning the UEFA Championship.

That time, he won Sammy's sneakers.

Ranocchia continued to point to the next person and said, "No. 12 Agome, originally played as a right-wing back, but now he plays as a right-wing midfielder."

After Simeone came to Inter Milan, he naturally had to use the 442 formation that he was good at, and also slightly adjusted the three-back system that Inter Milan used before.

"I'm familiar with this," said Uchida, "We all play on the right. Agome's speed is not weak, and his long balls are also very accurate."

"No. 1 goalkeeper Dan Retzger." Ranocchia smacked his mouth.

Inter Milan has a tradition of being rich in goalkeepers, San Toldo, San Se, San Handa... Many goalkeepers have all proclaimed their saints in Inter Milan.

The Dutch national goalkeeper Retzger seems to be about to bear the title of "Saint".

"Rezger's goal-line skills are quite strong, but sometimes it is easy to play with fire. I think Inter Milan will probably find a better goalkeeper to replace him in the future." Yue Feng's words seemed to negate the possibility of the opponent being called a saint.

"There are also strikers No. 9 Mukoko and No. 17 Harland." Ranocchia frowned and said, "I know these two people well. They both became famous when they were young. When I played football, they were already very good. gone."

Yue Feng and Uchida Maren nodded frequently. They had only seen Mukoko in the team, and Harland should have been bought by Inter Milan during the winter break.

Simeone's style of play is particularly dependent on strong forwards. Harland has been famous for a long time, and Inter Milan spent a lot of money to buy him to assist the new coach.

"Although Harland is 30 years old, he still maintains the level of the top ten strikers in Europe. This is what we will focus on in the next game." Ranocchia reminded.

"Mukoke is also very good." Yue Feng said: "It is said that he started playing U13 games at the age of 17."

"I've seen him several times at Inter's training ground, he's very fast and he shoots very imaginatively."

"Mukoko and Haaland have been teammates in Dortmund before, and there shouldn't be much running-in. They are a nightmare for any team's defense when they are partnered together." Uchida Maren interjected.

Ranocchia sighed softly when he heard this, "What do you think about the next game?"

Although Ranocchia said this to two people at the same time, he mainly focused on Yue Feng.

"Defense."

Yue Feng said categorically: "Inter Milan's offense is too strong, and only defense can win the opponent."

"Well, I think so too." Ranocchia pondered: "Yue, Uchida, you two retreated in the match against Inter Milan. I plan to directly play 532."

The 532 is a variation of the 352, with the two wing-backs withdrawing to the full-back positions and fully participating in the defense.

Not only that, Ranocchia also decided to put out the bus directly as soon as he played and concentrate on intensive defense.

This is also a necessary trick for weak teams to beat strong teams.

More than half a month before the first round of the semi-finals, Empoli still adopts a conservative style of play in the league and concentrates on preparing for the Coppa Italia.

On this day, Yue Feng's mobile phone suddenly received a message. He opened it and saw that the sender was actually Alina Chivu.

It is not uncommon to receive a message from An Lina, and the two of them are in frequent contact.

During the Spring Festival not long ago, An Lina sent blessings to Yue Feng.

But what the other party sent next surprised Yue Feng.

　Today is Mother's Day, readers, don't forget to say happy holidays to your mother, Xiaoqiu wishes all mothers good health and all the best!
