The next morning, Zhang Yuan saw the text messages back, some were back last night, some were back today, sister, Gu Lin said that they would definitely watch this game, Anna was wishing him good luck and praying that he could score, Mai Xuewen said that he would go to the scene with Docilia to watch the game, Raiola said don't be excited and nervous, just be like Serie B!

Serie A, one of the five major leagues in Europe, used to be a small World Cup, and when he was studying before, Zhang Yuan never thought that he could stand on the stage of Serie A to show himself, but today he will have the opportunity to show his talent. It's been more than 2 months since he moved to Inter Milan, but today he had the opportunity to say to Serie A: "I'm coming!"

Livorno is a coastal city on the west coast of Italy, not too far and not too close to Milan, Inter Milan participants in the game set off by bus after breakfast, most of them are napping and sleeping in the car, for them this kind of travel has been used to it, but Zhang Yuan is not in the mood to sleep at all, he is thinking about the game in his head, fantasizing about his starters, because Mancini has not yet announced the list of the starting eleven.

But he thinks in vain, Mancini has a conclusion in his heart, he has been unlucky recently, Inter Milan did not play well in the new season, he also knows, but this is not to say that the reason is that he is alone, injuries and fatigue are important reasons, before this game, Inter Milan's backline Materazzi and Zivo continued to recuperate, in the midfield, French superstar Vieira is still recuperating from injury, these three are the absolute main force, so that his choice in the back line is very difficult.

Livorno had a poor start to the season, the first game was swept by Juventus 5:1 at the Turin Stadium, the second home game was lost to Palermo by a big score of 2:4, and the third game of the state has rebounded and the away game drew 1:1 with Genoa, which means that they now only have one point, and Siena and Empoli occupy the bottom three with one point, they are ranked first from the bottom with a goal difference, facing such a weak opponent, even if they do a large area of roller skating, Mancini also feels that he should take it for granted.

Before getting out of the car, Mancini's assistant Mihajlovic announced the starting eleven.

Goalkeeper: Cesar

Defenders: McConn, Córdoba, Burdisso, Maxwell

Midfielders: Stankovic, Cambiasso, Zanetti, Cesar

Forwards: Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Suazo

Subs: Toldo, Jimenez, Zhang Yuan, Balotelli, Samuel, Rivas, Figo

After a short lunch break, Inter Milan warmed up at Livorno's home stadium, the Armando Piqui Stadium, named after Livorno's all-time legend Armando Piqui, who was also an Inter player of the Great International era.

There are a lot of Livorno fans who came to watch the game today, full of the entire stadium, playing the giants is a big event for all the weak teams in Serie A, the enthusiasm of the home team fans is very high, this is a common psychology, knowing that their team is not strong, but they still hope that their team can upset the strong team under their feet, seeking a trace of pleasure.

After warming up and returning to the locker room, Mancini explained the tactical arrangement, everyone listened carefully, Mancini's arrangement was very thorough, he asked the players to stabilize the start first, do not rush to attack, and control the situation in the midfield, after all, it is Livorno's home field, and it is not ruled out that Livorno will steal the start.

After explaining the tactics, there was not much left before the start time of 3 p.m., the substitutes went to the bench first, and the starters waited in the players' tunnel.

Zhang Yuan and Balotelli sat next to the substitute goalkeeper Toldo, since Cesar came, Toldo is the gold medal substitute of Inter Milan, in fact, Zhang Yuan feels that Toldo's ability is still very strong, but Toldo himself is reluctant to leave Inter Milan, and he may also accept his substitute role.

The match got underway and Livorno manager Fernando Orsi fielded a 433 formation on his home ground today.

Goalkeeper: Amelia

Defenders: Pavan, Gallant, Konezevic, Valeri

Midfielders: Pulzetti, Loviso, Dweezer

Forwards: Pasquale, Diamanti, Bogdani

At their home stadium, Livorno, who has only one point, looks like they still want to pick up points at their home stadium.

At 9 o'clock in the evening, Zhang Yuan's sisters Zhang Caiying and Li Jun sat in front of the TV to watch the game, they were not interested in football games, but their younger brother was likely to appear, so they had to watch it.

The broadcast camera swept over the faces of the starters, and Zhang Caiying asked: "Hey, it's not far away!"

"What's the hurry, he's a substitute, not a starter!" Li Jun still knew a little bit.

At this time, the voice of the commentator Duan came from the TV: "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the 07-08 season of Serie A, this game is the defending champion Inter Milan away to challenge Livorno, after Inter Milan two wins and one draw with 7 points ranked second, behind Roma with 9 points, Livorno two losses and one draw with 1 point ranked first from the bottom. Today, it is Coach Zhang who will explain the game to you!"

"Hello everyone!" Director Zhang said hello to the audience in front of the TV.

"We just got the squad for both teams, and today Chinese player Zhang Yuan is also in the squad for the Inter Milan game, but not as a starter but as a substitute, and we will see if he has a chance to play!" Duan said.

"There should still be a good chance, recently Inter Milan's players have played two games in a week, Mancini should make a rotation!" Zhang analyzed.

"Well, Inter Milan are under pressure to play on the third line in the new season, rotation is an inevitable choice, and it is indeed possible to put young players on the field against Livono Mancini. Okay, the game has officially begun, let's first introduce the eleven people who started on both sides"

Gu Lin is not an Inter Milan fan, but Zhang Yuan went to Inter Milan, and he received Zhang Yuan's QQ message again, and he was also very concerned about this game, so he turned on the computer early to watch the game.

The roommates all knew that Zhang Yuan was his good friend, but they didn't believe it at first, where is there such a coincidence, you can still be classmates and buddies with Zhang Yuan, but Zhang Yuan once called the dormitory to find Gu Lin in person, now everyone knows, it turns out to be true. has an annual salary as a confidence, Zhang Yuan does not hesitate to pay for the phone now, and occasionally can talk to relatives and friends on the phone, and QQ chat is not as real as the phone.

The roommates all watched the game with Gu Lin, and Zhang Yuan could not be seen for the time being, because the signal on the domestic side started from the entry of the starters, and the camera did not sweep over from the bench.

Roberto Mancini's fears were correct, and they were soon fulfilled, as Livorno struck the back of the net with a wide cross just one minute into the game.

In the first minute of the game, Livorno made a cross from the right side, Cordoba actually rose to the top, and Livorno midfielder Daniel Dweezer burst into high speed and shot through goalkeeper Cesar, 1-0, Livorno's shocking lead!

Roberto Mancini looked incredulous on the sidelines, and he wasn't alone, as the Inter bench players didn't expect Inter to fall behind after only a minute of away play.

Zhang Yuan woke up and felt that something was wrong, grandma's, if Inter Milan was 3:0, maybe Mancini would have sent himself on the field early, anyway, the overall situation has been decided to give young people a chance to exercise, now Inter Milan is behind 0:1, with Mancini's character, he will definitely trust the veteran, and the chances of him and Balotelli are slim.

He prayed silently in his heart, hurry up, brothers hurry up and overtake the score!

His prayers are useless, Inter Milan who was scored a goal seems a little flustered, Mancini uses the combination of Burdisso and Córdoba, the team's central defender combination is very fast, but the header is too poor, mainly because the height of the two central defenders is not high, Burdisso 183, Cordoba is only 173, in fact, Cordoba bounce is quite good, but Livorno's high school striker Bogdani has 192, which is nearly 20 cm taller than Córdoba, height and weight, Cordoba is really a bit embarrassed to duel him, Livorno coach Orsi obviously studied the situation of Inter Milan in detail before the game, specifically looking for Bogdani's high point to make trouble for Inter Milan, who was a little embarrassed by Livorno's rushing tactics.

But fortunately, after a few minutes, Inter Milan finally stood on their heels, Mancini asked Burdisso and Cordoba to pinch Bogdani, so that Bogdani faced the interference of the two central defenders, the power of the header was greatly reduced, Inter Milan gradually took control of the situation on the field, and frequently began to attack Livorno's defense.

Since Orsi chose to attack, it is more difficult to defend, after all, the ability and quality of Livorno's players are like that, and their midfielders cannot be expected to be able to attack and defend well like Inter Milan.

In the seventeenth minute, Maxwell burst into the Livorno penalty area with the ball and was tackled by the opposing player, the referee not only did not award a penalty but also gave Maxwell a yellow card, saying that Maxwell faked a fall, Mancini was angry on the sidelines, and almost scolded, and the Inter Milan fans from afar in the stands also booed.

But they can't change anything, the referee is still very firm to play the card, Maxwell was indignant, was pulled away from the referee by Zanetti, Zanetti himself stepped forward to communicate with the referee, saying that even if the ball is not a penalty Maxwell did not deliberately fake a fall, the referee told Zanetti that Maxwell is a fake fall He can see clearly.

The players on the pitch could never say anything about the referee, and the final result was that Zanetti was defeated, and the whole team could only accept the fact that Maxwell was yellow carded.
