Chapter 83: The Water Dispenser Caretaker

After winning this game, Mancini breathed a sigh of relief, he has been under a lot of pressure recently, to be fair to say that his start is not bad, okay, but from the chairman to the fans to the media are very critical of him, his mistake is that Inter Milan drew an opponent who should not be drawn, and as a result, negative comments poured in, and he wanted to pull himself off the horse immediately, which made Mancini feel very hurt, he didn't want to leave Inter Milan.

Mancini's coaching career is actually very simple, from Fiorentina to Lazio to Inter Milan, the previous two teams were teams in crisis, mainly due to financial pressures, he led Lazio and Fiorentina to good results, although Fiorentina has the experience of winning the second from the bottom of the league, but the fault is not him.

Because of his previous experience, he was known as a representative of the new generation of Italian coaches, so Moratti took a fancy to him and invited him to Inter Milan, where he led the team to a very good result, many people think that this is because Inter Milan has introduced many outstanding talents, but it is Mancini who really makes Inter Milan have a championship. However, his performance in Europe is a bit too much, of course, the reason is not his alone, but the outside world will only blame him, you can't fire the chairman, you can't fire the players, and the unlucky one can only be the manager.

He is understandably reluctant to leave Inter Milan right now, who would want to leave a team that has the potential to win the Champions League. No matter what the outside world says about Inter Milan's problems here and there, it is undeniable that Inter Milan is a strong team, one of the best teams in Europe, and a team that has the ability to win the Champions League trophy. Roberto Mancini was reluctant to leave, and it was only after winning the Champions League that his experience at Inter Milan was truly perfect.

After this round of matches, Roma drew away to Fiorentina, and Inter Milan and Roma were only second on goal difference.

Just one day after the match with Sampdoria, Inter Milan will take on Roma away, and after the phonegate incident, it is not the city rivals AC Milan who will challenge Inter Milan, but Roma from the capital, and the domestic honor is monopolized by the two. Before this game, the two teams were separated from the first and second respectively, this collision will definitely be a life-and-death situation, everyone wants to dominate, Spalletti after Roma is definitely the bitter master of Inter Milan, the last 4 meetings, Roma won 3 times.

The time interval was too short, Mancini had to make new adjustments, the last game against Sampdoria he did not have the main players that Inter Milan could play, because he had to win Sampdoria, and this is still the game he must win, so he has to continue to use the main team in this game, but he can make adjustments in certain positions, such as strikers.

In the tactical drill on September 28, Mancini adjusted the formation to a 4-2-3-1 formation, ready to play a single striker tactic, the single striker must be Ibrahimovic, and in the choice of three attacking forwards, Mancini chose Balotelli and Suasso, and Figo in the middle, which is really strange.

Balotelli was naturally very happy, this time it seemed that he was going to start, he was right, after the afternoon training Mancini announced the eighteen-man squad and starting list against Roma, and Balotelli really started.

Why did Mancini trust the newcomer in such an important game? No one knows, only Mancini knows that Balotelli is his strange soldier, he compared, Zhang Yuan and Balotelli, Zhang Yuan is undoubtedly better than others to break through, but the last pass on Balotelli is a little better than Zhang Yuan, and he also has a considerable ability to break through, and Zhang Yuan gives him the impression that he is a little alone, he prefers players with a sense of teamwork, and the team is a whole.

It is also normal for him to be prejudiced against Zhang Yuan, Zhang Yuan was introduced by Blanca, and he has nothing to do with half a dime, he admits that he is talented and talented, but the right to use it is in his hands in the final analysis.

Now Zhang Yuan does like to choose individual breakthroughs with the ball, which does not mean that he is very unique, in fact, Zhang Yuan has his own ideas, he breaks through only that he thinks the breakthrough is very good, and he has changed a lot when he comes to Inter Milan.

But Mancini still felt that Zhang Yuan broke through too much with the ball, and the team consciousness was not strong, so he abandoned Zhang Yuan and chose Balotelli, these two youngsters are not familiar with Rome, and he hopes to give Rome a "surprise" on either one.

However, he didn't completely beat Zhang Yuan to death, giving Zhang Yuan a chance to enter the squad.

Balotelli was elated, this was his first start, and in such an important game, he was excited to naturally find Zhang Yuan again, eat and train and sleep to abuse Zhang Yuan, and the last item was his biggest pleasure now.

What's more, this time he walked in front of his subconscious opponent Zhang Yuan, he pulled Zhang Yuan to play the live game, Zhang Yuan was of course in a bad mood, the reason for the bad was not because he didn't get into the starter, but because Balotelli walked in front of him, grandma's, I'm not better than you, you actually got into the starter, I haven't entered yet!

The young man's heart Zhang Yuan showed it vividly, the first game Balotte used Inter Milan, Zhang Yuan chose AC Milan, Balotelli must have made himself a starter, Zhang Yuan deliberately mischievolently with him, the whole team shoveled at Balotelli, the first half was not over, Balotelli hung up, and went straight down!

"What are you doing, kicking a ball or kicking someone!" Balotelli was furious.

"Haha, this is my strategy, I think this guy is a big threat, so I decided to get him out first. Zhang Yuanzhen said eloquently.

"Okay, boy, you've got it!" Balotelli was determined to give Zhang Yuan a good look in the live.

However, I didn't expect the final score to be 3:0, which was several goals less than the previous state of abuse.

Zhang Yuan is very satisfied, haha, it turns out that fouling is really a very knowledgeable tactic, if his level is a little higher, he may be able to pry Balotelli over.

changed teams, Zhang Yuan operated himself, in real time, he didn't know how to play tricks, and there was a Zhang Yuan who was excellent and fast, which was not much use at all. Balotelli also put a tackle in the whole team, but Zhang Yuan was not good than Balotelli, and he went off the field due to injury in the first half of the first half.

Balotelli, who had taken revenge, was in such a cool mood, and his mouth was humming.

The next morning, the players who participated in the game took a plane to Rome, it was too tiring to take the car, it was fast and convenient to take a plane, and when they arrived in Rome, they rested in the morning, went to the competition venue in the afternoon for warm-up training, and then started the game.

Spalletti's Roma team has been the main competitor of Inter Milan in the past two years, and the players in the team are a few streets behind the Inter Milan players except for Totti de Rossi, but he insisted on training this team to the point of competing with Inter Milan for hegemony, which shows that Spalletti's coaching level is definitely the best among Italian coaches.

The game against Inter Milan had a double significance, so Spalletti was sent to the main players despite the fact that he was going to participate in the Champions Cup.

Goalkeeper: Doni

Defenders: Panucci, Mex, Juan, Tonetto

Defenders: De Rossi, Pizarro

Attacking midfielders: Gyuli, Perrotta, Roberto Mancini

Defenders: Cambiaso, Dacourt

Attacking midfielders: Suazo, Figo, Balotelli

Forward: Ibrahimovic

After the start of the game, Spalletti found that Mancini had changed his formation, the formation was exactly the same as his own, and the attacking force in the front court had increased a lot, but he was not worried, on the contrary, he believed in his attacking group.

Indeed, as Spalletti thought, the Roma team took the initiative in their home stadium, and repeatedly created threats in front of Inter Milan after the opening, and the players of Inter Milan are still not very comfortable with the 4231 formation, usually Mancini has tried various formations in tactical drills, but 4231 is definitely not a formation that is often practiced, so it is normal for the players to start not adapting.

Although Roma took the initiative, but luck was on the side of Inter Milan, in the 27th minute, Totti made a tactical corner mistake on the left side, Maxwell broke the ball and brought it to the front of the field to pass, Perrotta tackled but did not intercept the ball, Suazo shot with his left foot 13 meters in front of the goal was blocked by the attacking Doni with his legs, Ibrahimovic left side 14 meters away from the goal header to make up for the empty goal, the little man Giuli jumped on the goal line, subconsciously raised his hand to block the ball, red card! Penalty! Ibrahimovic pushed the right foot into the lower right corner, Inter Milan in the away 1:0 is ahead.

In the 47th minute of the second half, Ibrahimovic was forced to leave the field by Roma defender Juan on the ankle, Mancini resumed his double-striker play, Crespo and Cruz came on the field, Ibrahimovic and Dacourt went off, and Balotelli was on the field. Suazo, I feel that Mancini seems to have played a four-forward tactic, in fact, Suazo and Balotelli are on both sides of the midfield, and the position on the field is full-back, while Zhang Yuan seems to have no chance to play at all.

Duan of the domestic sports station explained: "Now Inter Milan has changed to a two-striker tactic, why can't it be replaced by Zhang Yuan, Crespo and Cruise can not complement each other, and Zhang Yuan can complement any of them, Zhang Yuan's most suitable position is the second striker! Now Zhang Yuan's chance to play is almost gone, and this game is destined to be a "water cooler caretaker"!"

It seems that Duan Moumou has also done his homework, and knows that the current Zhang Yuan and Crespo are not the same type.

Director Zhang said: "The Roma team is now one less, and Inter Milan replaced Crespo and Cruz with the intention of attacking the Roma penalty area. ”
