Chapter 285 The Restless Dressing Room

Benitez is very dissatisfied with the team's performance. He has said hundreds of times that he should counterattack immediately after losing the ball and press forward when defending. Why didn't he listen?
Moreover, Zanetti's defensive speed was too slow to meet his own requirements.

He was walking back to the locker room, intending to take advantage of these 15 minutes to give a good lecture.

"Damn, I'm exhausted. I'm even more tired than the two games I played before." Milito complained. He spent the whole half of the game fighting with Mex. After finally waiting for his teammates to attract Mex's attention, Juan came again.

In defense, he has to stay in front all the time, constantly harassing the opponent's defense line.Milito is young and tall, and he is not the kind of aggressive striker. After halftime, he felt that he was about to be overwhelmed.

"No, if I keep playing like this, I think I'm going to be useless." Milito rubbed his thigh. He wasn't so tired in the Champions League final last season.

Zanetti was discussing tactics with Cambiasso, and the result was a problem after all.

"No, I can't do it alone if you go up." Zanetti frowned, while Cambiasso said: "If I don't go up to participate in the offense, the team can't tear apart the opponent's defense. We are behind now, just thinking about how to defend."

"Of course I know that the team is behind now, but my coverage area is not that big. Once the opponent seizes the opportunity to counterattack, I am afraid that Totti will not be able to stop them at all. Look at the goal in the first half, which is the best example."

Cambiasso sighed, and muttered: "It's enough to play a good defense and counterattack. If you have to force it out, let's do it now."

Of course Zanetti knew that the team's current tactics were problematic, but as the captain of the team, he couldn't force his teammates to oppose the head coach, right?

During the team's turbulent period, he must become a lubricant between the coach and the players, not a villain who is fanning the flames.

When Zanetti was about to say something to Cambiasso, the door of the locker room was suddenly knocked open and Benitez came in.

He looked at the players who either drank water, closed their eyes, or looked away. He sealed the door with his backhand and pulled the tactical board over.

"The defense was not decisive enough; the midfielder did not fulfill my request at all; the striker did not perform well. This is our first half." Benitez looked at everyone without mercy.

Cambiasso frowned. What you said, you are so capable, what if one day you coach Barcelona, ​​you still let Messi fight for the header?
If you can't compete, you can say that Messi is not capable enough?

"In the second half, I don't want to see the back line give the opponent another chance. There are two midfielders in the midfield. I must be prepared to defend against counterattacks and stop all the balls passing through the midfield." Benitez scratched back and forth on the tactical board. Muntari squinted and looked over, anyway, he couldn't understand.

Although the players have grievances against the coach, no one wants to lose the Super Bowl championship.After all, the allure of the six crowns is too great, even if it's for the bonus, they have to stick to it.

Benitez watched the players' expressions become firm, and thought that his preaching had worked, but he didn't know that the players thought of their bonuses.

"Very good, let's go! Remember, you are the European champions!" Benitez shouted loudly, but few responded.

Zanetti felt that the atmosphere was too embarrassing, so he gave a few "barbecue gang" looks in the team and asked everyone to yell along.

Cambiasso sighed helplessly and was about to make a speech, but Benitez shut him up with the next sentence.

"Stankovic came off the bench in the second half, Cambiasso, you wear the captain's armband."

Everyone was stunned, and Zanetti was also stunned.

What do you mean?Zanetti did not perform well, so he was replaced?
Or does Benitez have other plans?

Cambiasso shrank his neck, he might as well shut up.

Meazza fans are anxiously waiting for the start of the second half. The game against Roma last season is vivid in my memory. In the end, Inter Milan won. They will not allow the team to lose the game in such an embarrassing manner at home today.

Regardless of the fact that Inter Milan was the Champions League champion last season, their paper strength is definitely stronger than Roma.It's just that anyone with a discerning eye can see that there is a problem with the team's tactics. Except for Cesar who was not affected and performed normally, all other ten players have problems.

That's right, including Caesar, how did he become so powerful!
This game is the first game of the new season, and it is also the first stage for fans to test the strength of the team.Everyone expected Benitez's team to bring surprises to themselves. As a result, except for Caesar, no one else improved.

Everyone can tell the original Caesar's line of action with his eyes closed. The bottom line and the front of the penalty area are the only two ways for him to break through with the ball.

Many people who don't like Caesar take advantage of it, saying that Caesar is just an idiot who only knows how to run around and shoot internally, and he is not extraordinary at all, far worse than Messi.

Caesar's fans can't refute it, because Caesar is indeed not as good as Messi in this respect.

As a result, I saw it today, ho!There were three impressive mid-range assaults in the first half alone. Is this still the Caesar we know?
"I remember the news reports that Caesar went to Dortmund for special training." In the stands, a loyal fan said.

"Special training? Go to Dortmund?" The fans next to him frowned and said, "Why do you want to go to Dortmund? Does Caesar want to transfer?"

"Probably not, you see he issued a statement two days ago saying that he would not transfer, and didn't Gazzetta dello Sport say that Caesar is seeking a new contract?" said a female fan.

"Well, anyway, I hope Caesar will not transfer. Not only did we not introduce players during this transfer period, but we also sold Balotelli and Eto'o. I really don't know what Benitez thinks."

"Didn't the media say that Benitez wanted to buy someone, but Moratti didn't buy him?"

"Fart! The media is fooling people! You don't know this yet?"

The fans are arguing that the players have re-entered the field.

Roma did not make adjustments, and Ranieri was very satisfied with the performance of the players in the first half.

And Zanetti sat on the bench, the camera showed him, the captain of Inter Milan was expressionless.

"Inter Milan made substitutions and adjustments! They replaced captain Zanetti!" Angelo seemed to smell a bloody smell, and he said excitedly: "Is this a signal? Benitez is going to attack the old players? You know, Zanetti is the soul of the Inter Milan team. In such an important game, he left after only halftime. What does this mean?"
