Serie A has had a north-south rivalry since ancient times, with the south led by Roma and Lazio versing the north led by Milan and Juventus, and the duel between the two forces is often sparkling.

The match between Roma and Inter Milan in the ninth round was no exception.

Before the game started, the fans of the two teams almost took the lead in the fight, which made the explosion-proof police in the stands scared for a while.

And after the start of the game, the situation was not at all worrying.

Despite playing away from home, Roma's performance was as wolfish as their nickname, with foul whistles coming in constant flux, and Inter Milan's attack was stifled in the midst of Roma's almost chaotic defence.

In the first 30 minutes, the two teams contributed 23 fouls, including eight for Inter Milan and 15 for Roma, and the Red Wolves also received two yellow cards from the referee, which showed the intensity of the game.

The price was painful, but the effect was good, and Inter Milan appeared to be passive and unable to create an effective threat.

On the contrary, Roma had a very dangerous attack, it was Totti's cross, but the receiving Montella failed to hit the target under the interference of Cannavaro, and finally settled on the side of the goal.

This put Spalletti, who was sitting in the away team's dugout, in a good mood and should have been happy with the situation in the first half.

If there are no accidents, it should be 0-to-0.

Gao Han always stood on the sidelines, expressionless, unresponsive, and looked a little helpless.

"There are really no weak teams in Serie A, and they are tacticians. Gao Han sighed lightly and praised.

Spalletti's line-up for this game was very exquisite, very meticulous and targeted, and it was obvious that he had learned the lessons of the last game between Inter Milan and Juventus.

Roma were in a terrible situation last season, with four managers in a row, and after Spalletti took over this summer, the team sold Roberto Mancini and Cassano in quick succession.

Spalletti lined up in a four-four-one formation for this game, with Brazilian Doni in goal, and Kufrey, Mex, Kufuor and Panucci in the backline.

One noticeable change was the replacement of Romanian centre-back Zivu with teenager Mex.

Gao Han can understand the intention, because Kufuor and Ziwu are both short central defenders, and in front of the Inter trident, it can be said that they are at an absolute disadvantage, so the effect of starting with Mexes is not bad.

In midfield, Tadei was on the left, Darkett and De Rossi in the middle, and Perrotta moved to the right.

Since Emerson's transfer, Roma's central midfield has been very problematic, De Rossi has gradually taken on the main role, and has performed well, but his combination with Duckett is still difficult to reassure, and it is still somewhat inferior compared to the Emerson period.

Totti plays as a midfielder, with Montella acting as an arrowhead.

After beating Juventus 3-0 in their last game, Inter Milan made no substitutions for this game.

This is not surprising, as all managers want to keep their form alive by keeping their squad stable.

Surprisingly, Inter Milan seemed to have exhausted all their form in the last game against Juventus, and the entire first half was inactive.

On-site commentators and commentators felt that it might have something to do with the physical exertion of the players.

But only Gao Han and Inter Milan know it.

……

After listening to Gao Han's praise for Spalletti, Guardiola and Cantarero both agreed.

The most difficult thing to deal with in Serie A is this group of managers with high tactical literacy, who are often able to dig out the soft underbelly for you when there are seemingly no loopholes.

Especially for the cold and Inter Milan.

"However, Rome's strength is really not good. Guardiola shook his head.

Compared with Rome during the Capello period, the strength of the red wolf today has indeed declined a lot.

Not only Emerson, Samuel, Mancini Jr. and other backbones, but even Cassano has left the team, which makes it difficult for Roma to compete with the top three in the north, let alone win the championship, I am afraid that even whether it can keep the top four in the league is very problematic.

Fiorentina, Parma, Lazio and other teams are not weak, and they have the strength to impact the top four in the league.

Of course, with the strength of Roma, ranking 14th in the league, it must be more than that, as long as Spalletti adjusts the team, I believe that the ranking will be improved soon.

"It's hard for a good woman to cook without rice, and it's not easy for Spalletti. Gao Han sighed.

But in this match, he had to beat Spalletti.

Because he doesn't like to lose, especially on his home turf.

…………

…………

The first half ended 0-0.

Roma looked pleased with the result and happily walked back to the dressing room.

The Inter Milan players seemed to be relatively calm, without much reaction, but the fans in the stands were still cheering for the players, hoping that the team would continue to work hard in the second half.

After Gao Han sent the players back to the tunnel one by one, Sergio Garcia walked up behind him.

"This is the stats of the first half of the match between the two teams......"

"It's the running distance of Roma and our assessment of physical exertion......"

"And this ......"

Gao Han looked at the analysis and data in Sergio Garcia's laptop very carefully, and after reading it back and forth several times, he engraved everything into his own mind, and then returned the computer to his assistant.

"Thank you, Sergio. After saying that, Gao Han also got into the players' tunnel.

As he entered the tunnel, he could still hear the laughter of the Roma players at the end of the tunnel, and it looked like they were excited about the result of the first-half draw with Inter Milan, which made Gao Han smile wryly and shake his head.

As soon as he entered the locker room, he walked straight in front of the players.

"I just heard the opponent talking about it and it looks like you're disappointed with your performance. Gao Han smiled slightly.

The Inter players were a little embarrassed.

"However, I'm quite happy with your performance in the first half. Gao Han smiled again.

The players were relieved at this time, and they were so worried about being criticized by the manager.

'I said it was a game of cat and mouse, we just played Juventus, but Roma didn't get much better, they just played Lazio, we had an Italian derby, they were a Roma derby, and even they were worse than us because they went to Norway last Thursday to play a UEFA Cup game. ”

Roma are in a truly miserable situation and there is considerable pressure on Spalletti and the players.

Because Roma's record this season is two wins, three draws and three losses, but the results of the last four rounds are two draws and two defeats, and four games without a win.

This is absolutely unacceptable for Rome.

Therefore, the rumors of Spalletti's dismissal before the game are certainly not groundless.

In the face of the menacing Roma, Gao Han's strategy for the team from the beginning was to consume its sharpness first, so Inter Milan played more patiently and slowed down the pace throughout the first half, using passing to consume the opponent, patiently looking for and creating opportunities.

Roma's pressing in the first half was indeed fierce, which allowed Inter Milan's attack to be contained.

But in the second half, it was Inter Milan who made a move!

"Cristiano, if I'm not mistaken, you're supposed to be twenty years old, right?" Gao Han pointed at Cristiano Ronaldo.

"Yes, Boss. ”

Gao Han nodded and smiled, "Then you have to fight for some anger, don't let a thirty-two-year-old man entangle you." ”

After hearing this, everyone in the locker room couldn't help but smile.

Isn't Roma's right-back Panucci a 32-year-old veteran?

"And you, Zlatan, a Kufuor who is a head shorter than you, plus a young central defender Mex, and that will be able to stop you?"

As soon as Gao Han's words fell, Ibrahimovic replied indignantly, "They dream!"

"That's good. Gao Han said appreciatively accusing Ibrahimovic.

"And you, Adriano, like you did in the last game when you bumped into Pexoto, bumped into Kufrey, he's skinnier than Pexoto, understand?"

Adriano immediately nodded busily.

The Brazilian is feeling the pressure of the team's competition, and Recoba will soon be back in the line-up, and if he can't establish himself as a regular sooner, he will probably have to sit back on the bench.

"Luiz, Juan, the opponent's midfield defense is not strong, at the beginning of the second half, we have to attack, you know how to do it?"

The two seasoned veterans both nodded, and they knew it.

"Very good, at the beginning of the second half, we counterattacked and destroyed the opponent directly with a blitzkrieg!"

…………

…………

"Trust me, guys!"

In the visiting dressing room, Spalletti is also mobilizing the midfield.

Because he felt that after the first half of the game, the mentality of the players seemed to be a little slack.

'The first half was not the real Inter Milan and I have a feeling that they didn't give it their all, maybe to keep the start of the second half, maybe to stay until the end of the game, I don't know, but I can guarantee that they will try to try for a win in the second half. ”

Spalletti swept the players in front of him with a very solemn look, hoping to calm them down.

"This is the Meazza Stadium, our opponents are Inter Milan, who have won eight in a row this season, and Inter Milan, who just beat Juventus 3-0 at the Alp Stadium, are the most feared team in Serie A this season. ”

The Roma players, who were originally talking and laughing, couldn't help but become cautious one by one after hearing Spalletti's words.

Yes, Inter Milan is certainly not that simple.

"Believe me, guys, let's forget about the first half because it doesn't make sense, we have to focus all our energy on the second half, we have to give it our all, we have to stay 100 per cent focused, from the first second of the second half to the end of the game, we can't let up the slightest bit. ”

Spalletti's words left the locker room dead silent, and everyone became like an enemy.

"We've seen the footage of the game between Inter Milan and Juventus before, and you can clearly see how they beat that unstoppable Bianconeri side, and you should know that if we don't want to repeat the mistakes of Juventus, there is only one way. ”

"Together, together!"

Spalletti's words rekindled the fighting spirit of everyone in the locker room.

They all knew very well that Rome had no way of retreating.

If you retreat, you will really fall into the relegation zone.

"Come, guys, in this battle, we can only win, not lose!"

"Kill !!"
