Chapter 453: Did We Lose?

September 21, Stadio Gordy, Bent, Verona. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

With the momentum of three consecutive wins, the strong Inter Milan soldiers are aiming for Chievo.

But this small team, which was only 15th in Serie A last season and was in danger of relegation, has not performed badly this season, with two wins and one loss in the first three rounds, ranking fourth in the league.

The head coach Giuseppe Pierón is not well-known, but he was the head coach of the Serie B team Treviso last season, and because of his good results in Treviso, he was affirmed by Chievo and left Treviso to coach the Serie A team.

As a result, the forty-nine-year-old, little-known, long-time manager of a lower-league team surprised everyone at the start of his first season in Serie A.

Juventus were in trouble away from home in the first round of the league, losing 0-1 in the end, but Chievo won everyone's affirmation, and then won 1-0 at home to Parma in the second round, and then beat Reggina 3-1.

Giuseppe Pierón led Chievo to a surprising performance in the first three rounds, putting the underdogs of Serie A once again on everyone's radar.

Interestingly, Giuseppe Pilon's formation is a more balanced four-four-two, with a central striker of Brazilian descent who is not very capable of scoring, but has a huge tactical effect.

The goalkeeper is Fontana, who just left Inter Milan this summer.

Gao Han still lined up in a four-three-three formation in this game, but because it was a two-game game in a row, Gao Han made an appropriate rotation of the lineup.

At the back, Cordoba replaced Zanetti at right wing-back.

The short man is good at centre-back, but he is fast, and Gao Han tries to play him at full-back.

In midfield, Zanetti replaced Cambiaso, Stankovic started in place of Figo, and Solari replaced Cristiano Ronaldo as the team's left winger.

Despite the rotation, Inter Milan played well in this game, with Stankovic, Veron and Zanetti also well organized in midfield, Solari and Recoba on both wings also played a powerful role, and Ibrahimovic was still a central striker, and the attack was also very threatening.

It's good that the rotation lineup can play like this, and Gao Han is also very satisfied.

It was just that the goal never came.

Giuseppe Pilon's line-up for this game was very targeted, and the home game was very tenacious, with the four midfielders not falling behind in the face of Inter Milan, and the overall formation was retracted, leaving an Amaury in front.

Although Chievo's style of play gave the initiative to Inter Milan, it kept the defense very tight.

This is also a great feature of Serie A.

Inter Milan couldn't score for a long time, and frequently missed good chances to score.

But at the end of the first half, Inter Milan played another wave of attack, Solari on the left side of the Evra, after cooperating with Evra, dribbling the ball to force a breakthrough, but the cross was blocked by the opponent's central defender and won a corner.

Recoba took the penalty himself, and Gao Han used the five-star confrontation card, and as a result, Cannavaro broke through the crowd, forced out the defenders next to him, and blasted the ball into the goal guarded by Fontana.

The score of 1-0 was also maintained until the end.

Inter Milan narrowly wins!

…………

…………

Coming away from a narrow 1-0 win, Inter Milan finally met the expectations of the outside media and began to decline.

In the other game that was held at the same time, AC Milan beat Lazio 2-0 at home and Juventus beat Udinese 1-0 away, both of which were good.

This also made many media very sure that as the season deepened, Inter Milan will gradually show fatigue.

But for this statement, Gao Han asked a rhetorical question with a smile at the post-game press conference, leaving all media reporters speechless.

"I wonder why you always like to guess when we're going to lose? Almost every week you're shouting that we're going to crash, but after all these years, have we lost?"

After that, Gao Han smiled and said: "A week of double matches in a row, and it is a midweek Serie A league, I am very satisfied if I can win!"

But having said that, but the media continued to report it after the game, it was nothing more than a decline in Inter Milan's performance, and the next round of remarks if it lost, anyway, if it was wrong, there was no need to lose money, and there was no need to be responsible.

The only thing that is relatively new is that some media reporters photographed Adriano from the stands of Bent Gordy Stadium.

The Brazilian striker was banned for four games and fined for one month, which made everyone see Gao Han's determination to clean up discipline.

The league has been playing for a month, without a Brazilian striker, Inter Milan has won four consecutive games, and even many fans have gradually forgotten the existence of Adriano, and instead feel that it is good for Inter Milan to continue to play like this.

But now, Adriano has reappeared in front of the media, which has once again sparked discussion.

Everyone knows that this top superstar, who is known as the most powerful and potential in Europe in the next decade, should not waste time in the stands, so whether Adriano will return to the starting lineup has also become the focus of everyone's attention.

But there is also media hype that Adriano will leave Inter Milan.

There was never a need to worry about where he went.

Real Madrid is hungry for talent, Juventus, AC Milan, Chelsea ...... A whole bunch of European teams want to get him.

But Inter refused to respond.

Three days later, Serie A ushered in the fifth round of the league.

Inter Milan returned to the Estadio Meazza to take on a visiting Fiorentina side.

This time, Alpine deployed almost all the main players, Favali, Cannavaro, Materazzi and Zanetti formed the backline, the midfield was still a combination of Figo, Veron and Cambiasso, and the front line was unchanged, with Cristiano Ronaldo, Ibrahimovic and Recoba forming the trident.

Fiorentina's manager Prandelli lined up in a four-four-two formation, with Luka Toney partnering teenager Bodinov in the strikers.

But what is really unexpected is that in the face of Inter Milan, who have won four consecutive games and are like a bamboo, Prandelli suddenly turned against the guest and launched a fierce attack on Inter Milan from the beginning.

Fiorentina created a chance just 30 seconds into the opening period, when striker Luca Toni slotted past Materazzi from 15 yards and slotted home the ball but Cesar reacted quickly to save the ball.

This shot sent Inter Milan into a cold sweat, but Gao Han quickly made a decision, and the team began to fight back.

Inter then played a wave of small highs and created three dangerous shots for Fiorentina's goal, but goalkeeper Frei did well to keep it intact.

However, in the 10th minute, Favali was fouled on the left, and after Fiorentina took a free-kick, Luca Toni beat Materazzi and Cannavaro to head home the goal from close range to open the scoring for Fiorentina.

It was clearly a well-prepared set-piece that hit Inter's defensive underbelly.

For this goal, Gao Han was also quite depressed.

Materazzi is like a god when he is stable, but once his brain is short-circuited, it is really ......

It's hard to blame Cannavaro for this goal, after all, the physical gap is there, and he also went to fill Materazzi's void, but he was unlucky to fall victim to Luca Toney's goal.

Conceding a goal for the first time of the new season, and being scored first by the visitors at the Meazza Stadium, made the Inter fans nervous, and almost everyone in the stadium tensed their nerves.

The live TV camera frequently showed the faces of Moratti and others in the stands, paying attention to their anxious looks.

Gao Han always stood on the sidelines, called all the players over, and said a few words.

After the resumption of the game, Inter Milan was not in a hurry to fight back, but the primary purpose was to stabilize the position.

The midfielders, led by Veron and Figo, and the backline, led by Cannavaro and Zanetti, finally played the experienced role of the veterans and quickly regained their footing.

After stabilizing the position, Inter Milan began to plan a counterattack, and Gao Han also began to use skill cards.

In the 20th minute, the Nerazzurri attacked the edge of the Fiorentina penalty area and tried to pass the ball to Ibrahimovic, but the opposition centre-back managed to make a tackle, but the ball did not fly wide.

Recoba was clever enough to get to the spot and sent the ball to Figo without waiting for the defenders to get closer.

Figo stepped forward at the critical moment, received the ball, dribbled the ball from the left rib to the penalty area, attracted the attention of the defenders, and suddenly plugged the ball into the penalty area with precision.

The ball was just right, landing right in the middle of the opposition defender and goalkeeper, making it difficult for goalkeeper Frei to make a decisive attack, but Cristiano Ronaldo was like a lightning bolt and quickly caught up with ......

The rest is simple.

Once again, Cristiano Ronaldo seized the opportunity and calmly slotted the ball into the back of the net, 1-1!

The goal not only helped Inter equalise, but also restored morale for the team.

After that, the Nerazzurri went on to storm Fiorentina.

Just eight minutes later, Ibrahimovic scored another goal to make it 2-1.

Inter Milan were in control of the situation in the second half, and Veron scored the third and final goal of the game for the Nerazzurri with a long-range shot from behind.

In the sixty-fifth minute, Gao Han finally made a substitution.

Adriano, who had not been seen for a long time, replaced Ibrahimovic as the team's center forward, but throughout the game, although the Brazilian striker created several chances, he did not take them, and finally ended regrettably.

Three days after the fifth round of Serie A, Inter Milan ushered in the second leg of the first knockout round of the UEFA Cup, playing with a rotating line-up, and finally beat Setúbal 1-0 to advance 3-0 on aggregate.

After the UEFA Cup match, Inter Milan went away to take on Udinese.

This time, Inter Milan played with the main force and once again showed super attacking power, taking the lead in the first half thanks to Ibrahimovic's goal.

But the key point was that in the second half, starting from the 61st minute, within ten minutes, Inter Milan launched a wave of fierce attacks, with three goals scored by Cristiano Ronaldo, Ibrahimovic and Figo, beating Udinese 4-0 and winning six in a row.

However, Juventus' performance was not bad at all, beating Lecce 3-0 away, also making it six wins in a row, the same number of points as Inter Milan, but temporarily relegated to second place on goal difference.

AC Milan defeated Palermo 2-1 at home, won three consecutive wins, and then ranked third in the league with a record of four wins, one draw and one loss, and gradually opened the points gap with Livorno, Palermo and other teams in fourth.

After this round, Serie A was temporarily suspended and ushered in a two-week international break.

However, some British media photographed the cold at London's Heathrow Airport.

What did he come to London for?

Fans all over the world are talking.
