Chapter 269: Moratti's hesitation

Arshavin's goal dealt a big blow to the morale of the entire Lazio team.

Since then, the situation has been one-sided.

In the 32nd minute of the game, Inter Milan captain Javier Zanetti made a long pass from the back, Mata stopped the ball beautifully in front, dribbled forward, he slammed through Crribari with his left foot, and when he just entered the penalty area, he suddenly got up and shot coldly.

Lazio goalkeeper Balotta flew to the ball and despite a slight touch with the ball, it did not change the outcome of the ball flying into the net.

“Goooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaal!”

"Juan Mata!

In the 32nd minute of the game, Inter Milan led Lazio 3-0 away!"

"Inter Milan has decided the big picture!"

'Lazio didn't show the fighting spirit they should have, they didn't cause any problems for Inter!

"Zanetti's long ball was really beautiful and it went straight through the Lazio defence. Commentator Ferrari was full of praise for the long pass from the Inter captain.

'Juan Mata's stops and shots are just as good, and the young Spaniard is in great form at the moment!'

Li Ang got up from the coach's bench and applauded the goal of his proud disciple, the third goal came so early, and his mood was even more relaxed, and the game could almost be announced in advance.

***********

Spain, Alawi.

The café looked deserted, and the two football bigwigs sitting in the corner did not attract the attention of others.

Hearing that Mourinho said that he would 'tear down and rebuild' this Inter Milan team, Moratti was shocked, and at the same time he was very incomprehensible.

"Why? Do you think Lee's Inter Milan team is not good enough?" Moratti asked.

Mourinho smiled: "It's a good team, but it's not the right team for me. Seeing Moratti's puzzled expression, Mourinho continued. "There is a lot of will in this team, but I have a very different coaching style from Mr. Leon, so the current Inter Milan team is definitely not suitable for me, and I have to change. ”

"Isn't it okay to just make proper fine-tuning?" Moratti asked.

"No, I can't. Mourinho shook his head resolutely, "The transition from one tactic to another, from one system to another, it takes a lot of work, of course, there are tactics that suit me among the existing players, but a big adjustment is necessary." ”

Moratti's brow furrowed.

Tear down and rebuild?

Moratti still can't agree with Mourinho's idea, 'tearing down and rebuilding', it's easy to say, but you must know that the current Inter Milan team is the champion team built by Leon in three seasons, and this is not the kind of 'old team' that is about to age like Inter Milan's rival AC Milan, this Inter Milan's age structure is very reasonable, there are young players, players who are in their playing years, and there are some experienced veterans, which is the best age structure for a team.

At the thought of overthrowing everything that had been built before, Moratti was even in a trance and a little heartbroken.

This is unacceptable to him.

What he is looking for is a manager who can succeed Leon, who can inherit the fortune of this championship team left by Leon, make a smooth transition, and continue to maintain strong competitiveness and dominance, rather than smashing and rebuilding on the existing glory.

Although Mourinho did not say it directly, Moratti understood that it was necessary for Mourinho to agree to take over Inter Milan by having major surgery, or even 'tearing down and rebuilding'.

Although Moratti is also aware that Mourinho's coaching style is different from Leon's and may make some adjustments to the team, it is clear that Moratti cannot accept the plan of 'tearing down and rebuilding'.

Looking at Mourinho in front of him, Moratti sighed, what a guy with the same personality and stubbornness as Leon......

"I'm sorry, Mr. Mourinho, but I can't answer your request right away. I'll get back to you as soon as I can. Moratti said after thinking about it.

Jose Mourinho understands.

Then, the two of them chatted briefly, then got up and shook hands and separated.

***********

Stadio Olimpico in Rome.

Just five minutes after Juan Mata's goal, Inter Milan's attack hit in front of Lazio's penalty area, Arshavin crossed into the box, Adriano padded his heel, then turned and fell to the ground at the same time, directly into a tackle, the ball flew directly into the near corner of the goal.

“Goooooooooooooooaaaaaaaal!”

"Four to zero! Inter Milan took a big lead in the first half!"

"Lazio's performance has been disastrous. ”

"Claudio Ranieri's team has nothing to fight back again!"

"Adriano!

"The Lazio players were completely stunned, they were almost undefended!"

4 to 0!

Leon high-fived his assistant on the sidelines.

On the other side, Lazio coach Ranieri looked very helpless, facing such an opponent and such a poor performance of his own players, the 'tinkerer' seemed to be a little overwhelmed.

***********

However, Lazio, who were behind by a large score, seemed to be finally starting to wake up.

In the 41st minute of the game, Baronho passed the ball, Mauri rushed to the top in front of the goal, and the football was saved by Cesar.

Leon jumped like thunder on the sidelines, and in this defense, when Mauri grabbed the point, Samuel next to him didn't jump at all, and this relaxed attitude to the game made Leon extremely dissatisfied.

In the following minutes, Lazio seemed to wake up and launched a wave of attacks towards Inter Milan, for which the Inter players seemed completely unprepared and looked a little embarrassed. However, Lazio were not able to get on the scoresheet.

At the end of the first half, the score was temporarily fixed at 4-0, with the visiting Inter Milan leading Lazio by four goals.

In the visiting dressing room, the Inter players expected the manager to praise them after all four goals in the first half.

However, head coach Leon was furious at the team's passivity and embarrassment in the last minutes of the first half.

Obviously, with a big lead, the Inter players were a little distracted and overly relaxed.

This situation made Li Ang very dissatisfied.

'Inter Milan were a little too relaxed with a big lead, and they seemed to think the win was already in their hands. On the commentary bench, commentator Ferrari said, "This may be Lazio's chance, although it seems that an equalizer or a comeback is impossible, but in the second half, they at least have the opportunity to fight for dignity and narrow the gap as much as possible to avoid the second leg becoming a passing ......"

PS: Ask for a monthly pass.
