Chapter 056: Mighty Inter Milan
Two days later, Inter Milan hosted their opponents on matchday five of the Champions League group stage, Atemedia. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The Slovak league champion team was recognized as a belly team before the start of the group stage, but no one expected that this team would be on the same points as Glasgow Rangers after four games in the group stage, ranking second in the group, and qualifying from the group is in sight.
In the first leg between the two sides, Inter Milan won 3-0 away, and at that time, there were also Italian media critics that Inter Milan won too little and played ugly.
Now, the two teams have met again, and the Italian media have begun to praise Atmedia as an admirable team, calling on Inter Milan to be careful, to take it seriously, and not to capsize in the gutter!
Then, after the start of the game, the fans and the media and commentators were taken by surprise, and Inter Milan manager Leon made a big rotation in this game.
The goalkeeper is Brazilian goalkeeper Cesar, and at the back, Samuel and Materazzi are rested, and the centre-back partners Colombian defender Córdoba and young teenager Leonardo Bonucci.
At full-back, Patrice Evra and Zanetti partnered on either side.
The biggest change is in the midfield, Carlos is resting, Cambiaso starts, Marchisio gets the chance to start, Stankovic and David Silva start, the front line is the partner of Aguero and Cruz, the two major strikers Ronaldo and Adriano did not start, Ronaldo did not even enter the substitute list, but sat in the stands to rest.

"Li Ang's starting arrangement, isn't it too big. Ferrari said worriedly.
The reporters in the media table are also talking, and some reporters who have been looking forward to Leon's loss for a long time are even more secretly happy in their hearts, they are waiting for Inter Milan to lose this game, if they lose to Atmedia, they will have fun after the game.
Leon didn't know what some of the people who were waiting to see his jokes were thinking, and he didn't bother to pay attention to them.
His idea is simple and direct, since Inter Milan has qualified early and locked the top spot in the group in advance, then the next two games are irrelevant, and they can be used to train young people.
Those who waited to see his joke had no smile on their faces by the fifteenth minute of the game.
After Sergio Aguero and David Silva combined in succession, they suddenly split the ball to the other side, Cambiaso, who was inserted, sent a wonderful pass, and Cruise scored with a header, 1-0!
Inter Milan opened the door to victory early.
Leonardo Bonucci, the centre-back who got the chance to start today, performed in a decent manner and did not let his defensive zone become a breakthrough for the Atmediaans.
Of course, this also had to do with Inter Milan firmly in control of the game, and the Atmediaans did not put much pressure on Inter's defence.
So, in Leon's view, such a game is the best occasion to train newcomers, first of all, this is the Champions League group stage game, the level of the game is enough, these little guys can get the opportunity to play, they will be very excited, in addition, Inter Milan ahead of the group to qualify, which will make the pressure on young people less, even if they do not perform well, it has nothing to do with the overall situation, and there is that although Atmedia is the dark horse of this group, but the strength is really average, the reason why they became dark horses is not how strong Artemide is, but Glasgow Rangers and Porto are too bad, so Inter Milan has the confidence to control the game, such a game is enough, but winning or losing has nothing to do with the overall situation, and the opponent's strength is average, which is really an excellent occasion for exercising newcomers.
***********
And before the end of the first half, Aguero and Stankovic scored again, and at the end of the half, Inter Milan led Atmediaa 3-0, and all the people who were waiting to see Leon's joke were dumbfounded, and they knew that the bastard must have been even more proud: he rotated the main lineup, trained the newcomers, and actually won by a big score!
Soon after the start of the second half, Leon made a substitution.
He replaced Argentine veteran Cruz, who opened the scoring for the team, with Marco Borriello in place.
Cruz was a player introduced by Cooper when he was the head coach of Inter Milan, and the transfer fee at that time was only 7 million euros, and Inter Milan had Adriano, Martins, Vieri, Recoba and other stars on the front line at that time, and the introduction of Argentines was to strengthen the bench, and not many people had much expectation of this Argentine, and the Italian media even said that it was possible that after a season, the Argentine would leave Pinenati and become a visitor to Inter Milan.
Cruise's first goal at Inter Milan was in Highbury, however, Cooper, who introduced him, did not survive until the winter, and then Zaccelloni took over the team, Inter Milan changed to 343, Zaccelloni even once let him play as a drag striker, when half of the forward makes it handy, and then it was against Juventus twice, you must know that Inter Milan had not won in the Alps Stadium for 10 years at that time。
And after Leon came to Inter Milan this summer, he directly purged Vieri and Recoba, Martins was also purged by him, and just when many people thought that Cruise would also be purged, Leon surprisingly left Cruise.
At that time, Moratti even asked about it at one point, Moratti intended to keep Recoba at that time and chose to purge Cruise, but Leon's answer was: Cruise is a player he admires!
That's right, Leon admires Cruise, a player who is amazing, always able to score repeatedly in the limited time on the bench and complete the decisive time to save Inter Milan at the crucial moments. And the most incredible thing is that even if he sits on the bench for a long time, his state has not been affected at all, and he can always get into the groove quickly every time it is his turn to play. This is a fitting game with a microwave oven that heats up quickly and is ready to use.
In terms of ability, Cruise is relatively slow in speed and speed, and he is not a thigh-level striker who can tear apart the defense line by himself, but he has solid stopping and shooting skills, reasonable handling of the ball, especially when he hits the goal, he is very calm, swinging his legs and shaking his ankles, and pushing corners to deceive the goalkeeper. In addition, Cruise is tall, although he does not have his own system like Ibrahimovic, but he can also be a bridgehead, he can also pull out to make the ball, the header confrontation is good, the ball handling in the penalty area is also very stable, he can also play a single arrow, and the free kick technique is very good. Cruz is an important addition to Leon's tactical system, and the Argentinian can play with Ronaldo or Aguero and Adriano.
***********
Leon high-fived Cruise, who left the field, and the importance and appreciation of the Argentine veteran can be seen. This surprised all the reporters in the media gallery.
It seems that Lee admires Crews and Argentina have always done well in their limited playing time, which may be the reason why he chose to keep Cruise in the first place. Ferrari said all he thought.
In the end, in this game, Inter Milan defeated the dark horse team Atemediaa 5-0 at home, Borriello who came on as a substitute in the second half assisted Cambiaso to score, and Marchisio was lucky to score a goal in a chaotic battle!
After the game, the headline of the newspaper "Milan Sport": Mighty Inter Milan!
The accompanying picture used shows Inter Milan's five-goal victory, and their head coach Li Ang shook hands with the opposing head coach with a faint smile after the whistle blew at the end of the game......
A five-goal win over an opponent like Atmedia clearly doesn't get the Chinese coach excited.
