Chapter 381 Italian Super Cup
In his heart, Vincent hopes to put the venue abroad, such as the United States or China, so that it can be more powerful to Inter Milan, especially in China, which will definitely be the second home court.

But these are all Vincent's overthinking. The reality is that this game will be held at the Olympic Stadium in Rome on the night of September 9.

Lazio is absolutely strong. Last year, they swept the whole of Italy and won the league championship and the Coppa Italia gold standard. Although their signings did not have the madness of the previous seasons this summer, their original strength has not been lost.

In addition to this year's newly acquired Peruzzi, they also introduced famous players such as Little Flea Lopez, Crespo, Poboski, and Nesta, Mikhailovich, Nesta De Vede, Veron, Ravanelli and many other well-known stars.

To be honest, their overall strength is definitely not inferior to Inter Milan, and even faintly stronger than Inter Milan.

Facing Lazio like this, Vincent's first thought in his heart was to defend and counterattack, and then score if he had a chance, and defend if he had no chance, until the final penalty shootout.

But then Fan Shang gave up this idea. Fan Shang and other styles are now well understood in Europe, and they like to defend and counterattack, and they can play defensive counterattacks very well. There are even teams that are purely defensive, no matter how strong they are. Fan Shang is not afraid.

So this time Fan Shang will do the opposite, this time he will not defend, but will attack by surprise.This idea is also based on Vincent's investigation of Lazio, especially their head coach Eriksson, who has a single tactic. In fact, he is also a loyal fan of defensive counterattacks. Eriksson's tactical characteristics are solid defense , by counterattack, set the ball to win.

It is estimated that Eriksson thinks that Fan Shang also uses such a routine, so Fan Shang believes that the two teams are likely to play offensive tactics, which will give the audience a pleasing game.

So Fan Shang focused on short pass penetration in the next training, that is, a short pass with one kick. Fortunately, Inter Milan's player skills are still guaranteed, and the training effect is good. Compared with Hull It was a good first test in Xinbao, but now they have cooperated with ease.

There is also the transfer, which is over in August, but there is no news about Redondo. The current Inter Milan midfielder is actually a bit weak compared to the back line. It would be great if Redondo could come, If it really doesn't work, Fan Shang must take action, just in case.

In the past two weeks, Inter Milan has not used games to boost training. Their state has basically entered the normal state of the season. The first trophy hits.

In the locker room, Fan Shang said very easily, "Our goal today is very clear, which is to give you a stage to show your offensive capabilities. Except for Sebastian, Carlos and Ivan, the three of you stay behind and don't move. Everyone press me out!"

When it comes to offense, many players get a little excited. Who doesn't want to overwhelm their opponents, and even Fan Shang doesn't like to engage in defensive counterattacks every game.

"You all want to score one more goal than your opponent! Be confident!" Fan Shang clenched his fists.

"Yes!" The players shouted, who would not like to score more goals.

"Very good. Let me emphasize one more point. You must give opportunities to teammates with better positions. Don't be greedy for merit. Sometimes an assist requires more courage than a goal." Vincent added at the end.

Then the players stood up and prepared to enter the field. Vincent did what he did in Bordeaux again, high-fived every player at the door, and shouted "attack"

Italy's TV station Sky TV, which broadcasts live broadcasts of such large-scale games, also sent ace commentator Fabio Caresa and Zoff, who had just resigned from the Italian national team, to explain the game together.

Zoff is actually a pity. Part of his resignation is that Vincent led the French team to defeat the Italian team he said he led in the final of the European Cup, but the runner-up is also good, but Berlusconi kept fighting after the European Cup. Zoff sneered and ridiculed, and finally Zoff resigned angrily.

Now that he has nothing to do, he picked up the microphone and sat on the sidelines to give an explanation.

"The game hasn't started yet, let's take a look at the starting lineups of the two teams today." After introducing himself, Caresa took out the starting lineups of the two teams and began to announce, "Last season's double champion Lazio ranked A 442 lineup, the goalkeeper is Peruzzi introduced from Inter Milan this year, four defenders, Pancaro, Nesta, Mihajlovic and Favalli, four midfielders, Nedved, Simeone, Veron, Poborski, two strikers Crespo and Lopez. This should be Lazio's regular lineup this year, right?" After speaking, Caresa turned to Zoff next to him .

"Well, this should be Lazio's strongest lineup now. To be honest, this lineup has no weaknesses. There are no problems in offense and defense." Zoff said.

"Let's look at Inter Milan's starting lineup, the same 442, goalkeeper Frey, four defenders, Zanetti, Cordoba, Gamara and Thuram, four midfielders, Emerson, Stankovic, Jugovic and Seedorf, forwards Chiesa and Hakansuke. The formation of the two teams is really the same, four backs, two midfielders in the midfield and two wings , a striker, a center and a dexterous striker, it’s interesting to start today.” Caresa said after reading the starting lineups of the two teams.

"It looks like this now. The style of the two coaches is defensive and counterattack. Today is likely to be a dull game. However, the combination of Inter Milan's central defenders today is a bit unexpected. Gamara and Cordoba They are all attacking central defenders, what does it mean to play at the same time?" Zoff somewhat did not understand Fan Shang's intention.

"Yes, as far as I know, Fan Shang usually likes to use a central defender who is late and a tackler. This time, he sent two central defenders of the same type. I don't know what his intention is. We can only see from the game. Come out." Carreso usually said that about things he didn't understand. This is a professional football commentary.

The two teams on the field have now finished picking the field, and then stood up and prepared to kick off.

The referee whistled, Crespo and Lopez kicked the ball to the back, and the Italian Super Cup game officially kicked off.
