'There is still some time before the game starts and we have the starting line-up for both sides. Despite being beaten 2-1 at home to Genoa in the last round of the league, Rea did not make any changes to the line-up, and it was clear that he had faith in the players in the starting line-up. ”

The goalkeeper is Jezo, the back three are still in line, Contini, Cannavaro Jr. and Dominic, the midfielders are Grava, Gargano, Beriacino, and Slovakia teenager Hamshik continues to gain trust, with Savini in front of him and Salayeta and Argentinian Ravic up front. ”

Meanwhile, the TV screen showed Napoli's starting line-up for the day.

Napoli (3-5-2): 1-Yezo/96-Contini, 28-Cannavaro Jr., 21-Domini/2-Grava, 17-Hamsik, 23-Gagano, 18-Polyacchino, 19-Savini/25-Salayeta, 7-Lavezzi.

As the commentator said, there is not much to say about Napoli's starting line-up, and the focus of the day is mainly on Inter's side.

"Here is Inter Milan, whose starting line-up has changed a lot due to injuries and suspensions. Ferrari said.

"First of all, the change in the backline, captain Javier Sanese is out due to injury, and the starting right-back today is Brazilian McConn, the Brazilian defender who Leon bought from Monaco, has improved a lot in the past two seasons and is already considered one of the most anticipated right-back players at the moment......

'At left-back, France's Patrice Evra is now firmly in the starting role, while at centre-back is Argentinian Samuel and Romanian Zivo. ”

"In the midfield, Carlos Ray continued to start without moving, I sometimes really doubt that this Spanish kid really doesn't know the fatigue at all? Croatian young Modric also continued to start, another Spanish teenager David Silva appeared in the starting lineup, Figo's departure is not only the reason for the rapid retreat, but also the impact of Silva, the main position is not very stable, well, there is another player is ......" said this, Ferrari's tone suddenly increased.

"Juan Mata, he continues to be in midfield, at least that's how it looks in the starting line-up, so here's the problem......" Ferrari immediately looked at the last two names in the list.

'Juan Mata is in midfield, which means Inter continue to have two strikers today?' interjected guest Rossi.

***********

"Diego Milito starts!" Ferrari said the name of a starting striker.

Rossi continued: "It's no suspense, Cassano and Sergio Aguero are injured, Adriano is suspended, Leon now only has Diego Milito as a striker......

"That's right, I think everyone is curious and wanting to know right now, who will start alongside Diego Milito?" Ferrari's expression became surprised, which caught the attention of his commentary partner.

"It seems that this starting name surprised my old buddies as well. Rossi said with a smile that they had just been given the starting line-up, and in fact, Rossi didn't know who Inter's other starting striker was.

"Joining Diego Milito in attack is Mario Balotelli. As Ferrari pronounced the name, Mario Balotelli's face and name were displayed on the television screen.

Then the TV screen showed Inter's starting line-up for the day:

Inter Milan (4-4-2): 12-Julio Cesar/13-McConn, 25-Walter Samuel, 26-Christian Zivo, 3-Patrice Evra/7-Juan Mata, 6-Juan Carlos, 8-Luka Modric, 14-David Silva/22-Diego Milito, 45-Mario Balotelli;

"Mario Balotelli, maybe some people still have some impressions of this kid, Mario Balotelli played in the first team in the warm-up games before the start of the season, but I think a lot of people are still a little unfamiliar with this kid, so I need to introduce him. Mario Balotelli, born in Palermo on August 12, 1990 to Ghanaian parents, was adopted by the Balotelli family in Brescia at the age of two, entered the Inter Milan youth team last year, and was called up to the first team in the summer warm-up matches. However, I still wonder how Leon started this game with such a 17-year-old who had never played in a competitive first-team game. Ferrari continued.

"It's really a surprising starter, it's incomprehensible, even if Leon admires the big boy and could try to give him a chance to come off the bench, but now he is being put to start, and it's clear that this is going to be the focus of discussion after the game. ”

"If Inter Milan lose today's game, Coach Leon's shocking starting arrangement will be the focus of criticism after the game!" said Ferrari.

***********

Not only were the commentators shocked by this starting arrangement, but also the Inter fans in front of the TV.

"Mario Balotelli, who's this kid?"

"I know, it's the youth team, it seems to be doing well!"

"No matter how good the youth team is, it doesn't mean anything, it's Serie A!"

"It's not like no one is available!"

"Yes, if it weren't for the injuries of Aguero and Cassano, and Adriano being suspended, Lee wouldn't have sent such a kid!"

"You can't put such a kid in place, we can play as a single striker. ”

"We have to believe in Lee's vision, maybe, maybe...... This kid can surprise us. Someone said, but as his voice grew quieter, I knew that even he himself did not believe it.

***********

In the home team's dressing room at the Meazza Stadium, Leon is making the final arrangements for his team.

He carefully studied the opponent of today's game, Napoli, although Napoli manager Rea seems to be a coach with variable tactics, can play a back four, can also play a back three, but, after a closer study, you will find that no matter which formation, Rea's tactics are more based on defense, Napoli only conceded 29 goals in 42 Serie B games last season, one less than Juventus, showing Rea's defensive skills.

It can be said that Rhea is an authentic Italian coach who advocates defense, but his track record of leading the team to promotion four times proves that his philosophy is successful, and before leading Napoli to promotion, he has led Cagliari, Vicenza, and Brescia to Serie A, and is a veritable "promotion expert". But he has only two seasons in Serie A, both of which ended in relegation.

An old-fashioned Italian coach who is conservative at heart, this is what Leon said about Rhea.

'Napoli's most likely formation today is a three-five-two, but Rea's 3-5-2 is actually a 5-3-2 counter-attacking formation, with two wings going to two defensive-minded full-backs, Savigny and Grava. "These two players are very cautious and don't press too high, which means that there will be a disconnect between their wings and midfield at some point!"

As he spoke, Leon drew a big fork on the tactical board!

"What we have to do is cut off Napoli's midfield!"

"Pay attention to Hamsik, this kid plays an important role in Naples' offensive tactics!" Leon glanced at Carlos, "Juan, this kid is up to you!"

Carlos nodded vigorously and looked at Hamsik's name on the tactical board, as if he was going to rip it off and swallow it.

***********

"Use our attacks and goals to tell the Neapolitans that their proud defense line is paper paste in front of us!" Leon glanced at Mario Bastra, the kid seemed to be distracted, which made Leon not very satisfied, "Lieutenant Balotelli, what do you want?"

The players laughed when they heard Leon call Balotelli a lieutenant, they all knew that Balotelli was now madly obsessed with "Brother Lian", and that this funny kid fantasized that he was the same Lieutenant Winster.

Diego Milito, who was sitting next to Balotelli, quickly poked him.

Balotelli came back to his senses and looked at the manager with an innocent expression, "Ah, coach?"

"What are you thinking?" Leon asked again, "Is there anything bothering you?"

'I haven't figured out how to celebrate after the goal. Balotelli looked distressed.

Leon almost choked, and then he glanced at his assistant Banderas, which means, are you still worried that this kid is nervous, do you look like he is nervous?

"Let's machine gun fire. Leon said half-jokingly.

"Great!" Balotelli cheered, then grimaced again.

"What's the matter?" asked Leon angrily.

"I haven't done autographing yet, what should I do if the fans ask me for autographs after the game?" Balotelli said as he looked at the manager, looking distressed, but extremely serious.
