Chapter 450: A Precursor to an Approaching Storm
In the midst of all the disturbances, the pace of Serie A is getting closer and closer, and the situation of the teams is becoming clearer. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
According to the pre-season preparations, Inter Milan has maintained all victories and impressive results, and Gao Han's four-three-three style of play implemented by Inter Milan has also made many people feel bright.
In particular, the trident of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Cristiano Ronaldo and Recoba has been hailed as a clone of Chelsea's golden trident of yesteryear, with Cristiano Ronaldo undoubtedly taking on the role of Samuel Eto'o.
As for the midfield, Inter Milan does not have a role like Makelele, but from the perspective of actual combat results, the combination of Figo, Veron and Cambiasso has stronger control and defensive ability, especially tactical execution, which is quite good.
This also makes many people look forward to the new season of Inter Milan, but many people believe that during Inter Milan's pre-season training camp, they have not experienced the challenge of strong opponents, and whether the three technical midfielders can withstand the impact of a strong team remains to be tested.
However, AC Milan captain Maldini said in an interview with the media that Inter Milan is the most dangerous team in Serie A in the new season, with strict tactics and meticulous defense, but the most terrifying thing is their attacking power.
'I've always been reluctant to think about Gao Han, he brought us painful memories, but that's all in the past, we have to look to the future and there is no doubt that Inter Milan will be our number one rival in the new season. ”
Coach Carlo Ancelotti also said that Inter Milan are stronger than any previous season.
'I don't know if they'll be able to play at the highest level from the start as they have in the past, but I would say they'll be the most competitive team in the new season. ”
As for the past, Ancelotti said that he watched and studied the finals against Gao Han many times.
"I learned a lot from those games and I hope my team can show our progress to Gao Han and Inter Milan in the new season and beat them in the end. ”
Relatively speaking, AC Milan has not changed much, and Ancelotti still uses a four-three-one-two formation.
But Juventus manager Fabio Capello has a very different view than Carlo Ancelotti, saying he never looks back.
"If you lose those games, you lose, I don't take them to heart and I don't watch them over and over again, because there's no need, each game is independent, and the most attractive thing for me is the next one. ”
As for the new season, Capello said that Juventus is full of hunger and thirst.
"You know, in European football, the cold is a phenomenon, he is always invincible, but this is not normal, everyone in our team will not believe it, we have to smash this nonsense with our own hands. ”
Capello's team did not perform well in the pre-season preparations, but it was very smooth and terrifyingly calm, especially with Vieira and Emerson's double midfield, which was gradually sharpened, and even Carlo Ancelotti said that Juventus's strength has never been stronger, attacking and defending, which is quite amazing.
But even so, Juventus is not satisfied.
Capello vowed in an interview with the media that Juventus' goal for the new season is not just a title.
As a result, as soon as the words fell, the next day, the Juventus management very efficiently poached the wing player Mancini Jr. that Capello wanted, filling what Capello said, the last shortcoming in the Juventus lineup.
The deal shocked the entire Serie A league.
But almost on the same day, AC Milan also officially announced that it would bring in Cassano from Roma to further strengthen the offensive power of the frontcourt.
These are also the last two major deals in the Serie A transfer market, and almost everyone believes that this is what Juventus and AC Milan were forced to respond to after feeling the threat from Inter.
With Roma weakened, almost everyone agreed that the Serie A title for the new season would belong to the top three in the north.
These three teams will be the first group to win the Serie A title in the new season, followed by other teams such as Roma and Lazio.
Judging from the schedule of the new Serie A season, Juventus have the best luck, with a reasonable separation between the strong and the weak, and apart from facing the two fierce rivals of Inter Milan and AC Milan, the other games are the perfect time to grab points.
Relatively speaking, AC Milan's schedule is not as good as Juventus', but it is not bad.
On the contrary, it is Inter Milan, who have the worst schedule.
First of all, Inter Milan were the first of the top three to meet strong opponents, and they met Palermo in the second round, which required Inter Milan to adjust their form from the beginning of the season and be able to continue until the end of the season.
From the fifth round to the eleventh round, among the seven opponents that Inter Milan encountered, in addition to Livorno, the other six teams have the strength to challenge the top three, including Fiorentina, Udinese, Juventus, Roma, Sampdoria and Lazio, and this period is interspersed with national team matches and European competitions.
Relatively speaking, Juventus and AC Milan have a much easier schedule, with stronger opponents staggered from each other, and as long as they adjust their form, it is not very difficult to win.
Regarding the concerns of the outside media and fans, Gao Han smiled at the first press conference before the start of the season, saying that he was not worried.
"There are 20 teams in a league with two round-robin matches, all teams have to play twice, there is no way to avoid it, I have always believed that as long as the team is strong enough, then no matter what the schedule is, no matter who the opponent is, you can get a satisfactory result. ”
Gao Han's reply won the applause of more than 100 media reporters at the scene.
Although the outside world has been overwhelmingly attacking him and Adriano in the past period, this has not affected Gao Han's influence among fans and media.
Even, before entering the press conference hall, every reporter was given a verbal notice to ask questions about the upcoming league match, and not to mention the Adriano scandal, the bombardment of Koko and Vieri.
If you dare to restrict media reporters like this, there is only Gao Han.
"Mr. Gao Han, a lot of people are very concerned about Inter Milan's lineup, Martins, Stankovic and Cordoba were all the main players of the team last season, but from the current point of view, they seem to have lost their positions, but it is Cristiano Ronaldo, Figo, Veron, Vidic and other players who continue to gain your trust, we are very curious, how did you choose the players?"
A journalist asked questions not without provocation and also laid mines.
Gao Han smiled and nodded, "Actually, it's not difficult to choose at all. ”
Amid the uproar of the reporters below, Gao Han continued: "Each of their players is very good, they are all a vital member of the team, and their characteristics are different, which allows me to better arrange different starting lineups according to different games and different opponents. ”
"I want to say that in my team, no one is indispensable, no one is guaranteed to start, even Cristiano Ronaldo you mentioned, I keep telling him that when he doesn't perform well, he has to bench me, and if the players want to play, they have to fight for it. ”
"I love seeing that look of desire in their eyes and it makes us stronger. ”
Gao Han's answer can be described as leakless, so that everyone can't find fault and has nothing to say.
"Mr. Gao Han, judging from the pre-season warm-up matches, it seems that you are planning to use Figo, Veron and Cambiasso as midfielders, but there are also many people who think that such a midfield is too thin and difficult to cope with the Serie A game, what do you think?"
After the reporter sat down, Gao Han replied with a slight smile.
"In my coaching staff, in internal meetings with the players, a lot of people are like you, but I think it's not thin, it's not about whether you have a few midfielders in the midfield who have outstanding defensive ability and have a lot of coverage, but whether your overall tactics are tight, if the tactical system is loose, then it's useless for you to play five. ”
"On the contrary, as long as the tactical system is thorough, even if there are three technical players, they are still solid. ”
Gao Han's words are quite fresh, especially in the current trend of Serie A.
Needless to say, Juventus' backs are world-class midfielders like Patrick Vieira and Emerson, and AC Milan have technical midfielders like Andrea Pirlo in the squad, but they are also protected by Gattuso and Ambrosini up front.
But in the Inter Milan team, there is not even a full-time defensive midfielder, which is indeed quite strange.
However, Gao Han is a world famous handsome, and since he said so, no one else can refute it at all.
But it did not prevent them from questioning Gao Han's words in subsequent media reports.
In the first round of the league, Inter Milan's opponent was promoted Mattreviso.
The team was not strong, sitting fifth in Serie B, and although they entered the play-offs, they were beaten 0-3 on aggregate by Perugia in the play-offs and missed out on promotion.
The same is true for Ascoli, who finished sixth in Serie B and were beaten 3-1 by Torino in the play-offs.
But after the end of last season's Serie B, the Italian Football Federation suddenly launched an investigation into the league champion Genoa, because three days after Genoa's 3-2 win over Venice in the final round of the league, the Italian gendarmerie found a check for 450,000 euros in the refrigerator of Genoa President Preziossi's BMW.
At that time, Venice had just taken office, and the general manager of the team, Pagliala, who was aiming to solve the team's salary arrears, was sitting in the back seat of the car, with a total of 250,000 euros in cash in his suitcase, plus the judiciary intercepted a recording of a mobile phone call in a hotel in Genoa, which gave the judges reason to believe that there was a problem in the final round of Serie B.
After more than a month-long investigation, the Italian Football Federation announced that Genoa had violated the rules in the 3-2 win over Venice, canceled Genoa's promotion qualification, and directly entered the third league, with president Preziossi banned for four years, Venice president Darsin banned for four years, and general manager Pagliala banned for three years and six months.
This case caused a sensation in the entire Italian football world, and everyone was in danger, quite a precursor to a storm.
If Genoa is self-inflicted, then Torino and Perugia deserve sympathy, because they are both not financially up to standard and have lost their qualification for promotion, which has allowed Treviso and Ascoli to pick up a big bargain and be promoted to Serie A.
But no one can doubt that these two teams are the weakest teams in Serie A.
Milan's duo had a good start to the season, with Inter Milan at home to Treviso, AC Milan away at Ascoli and Juventus at home to Chievo.
Moreover, all three games are played at the same time.
