433VS442。

Before the game, both sides observed a minute of silence for the recently deceased Japanese Football Association official. Inter kicked off first, but Cambiaso's cross was faulty and was cut off by Argentine striker Córdoba, and Panucci had to foul on the left side of the edge of the box to give Olympia a well-placed set-piece.

Olimpia's Lopes drove the ball into the box and Argentine striker Córdoba scrambled to shoot in the chaos in front of goal, almost knocking on Buffon's door.

After the shock, Inter Milan immediately took control of the situation on the pitch, and Ronaldo became the focus of attention on the pitch.

In the 3rd minute, Xiao Xiao Luo and Robben exchanged positions and passed the ball to the middle on the left side, but unfortunately their teammates did not respond in time. However, a minute later, Inter Milan found their first chance of the game, and it was Ronaldo, who rushed into the right side of the box and headed wide of the bottom line.

After another two minutes, Ronaldo found another chance to get off the ground and fired a powerful shot that was confiscated by Paraguayan substitute Tavarelli. Today's Xiao Xiao Luo played hard and ran a lot more than when he played Serie A in the past.

Inter Milan were largely in control of the situation, while Olympia could only rely on quick counter-attacks to find a breakthrough, and the pace of the game was very fast. Repeated attempts failed to work, and Inter were a little impatient, with several long passes blocked by the Olympia defenders. In the 9th minute, Robben used his speed on the left side to break through and shoot after passing, but was blocked by Tavarelli.

In the 11th minute, Adriano distributed the ball to the ever-active left-back Gresco, whose powerful volley was blocked by Ceara.

Inter Milan's attack wave after wave, and finally scored in the 13th minute, Robben passed the ball diagonally with a low flat ball, Adriano cleverly conceded, and Xiao Xiao Luo received the ball in the middle and scored with a right-footed arch, 1:0, Inter Milan made a perfect start.

Olimpia took advantage of Inter's basking in the joy of scoring to launch a quick counter-attack on the right, with Benitez's shot hitting the post. Since then, Olympia's inexperienced weaknesses have been exposed, with offsides and fouls increasing frequently, and there are not many chances up front.

In the 29th minute, Xiao Luo Miao passed to Zanetti, who was inserted, and the Argentine dribbled the ball past a defender and volleyed vigorously with his right foot, but unfortunately the ball was high above the lintel.

In the 33rd minute, Olympia team No. 10 Miguel. Rafael Benitez is booked for a foul on Di Biagio. In the 35th minute, Xiao Xiao Luo was tripped by a pass in the front of the penalty area, Inter Milan won a free kick at the top of the penalty area, and Xiao Xiao Luo's powerful shot was blocked by the human wall. 1 minute later, it was Xiao Xiaoluo who broke through in front of the field and shot with his left foot, which was blocked by the defender, and the subsequent corner kick was also pushed out by the defender.

Little Ronaldo shines at the Yokohama National Stadium, which has become his solo stage.

Inter Milan played with ease after taking the lead, and Olympia looked like they had lost the courage to equalise, but they also threatened their opponents. In the 40th minute, Materazzi made a mistake with a long pass, Olympia crossed from the right, and Lopes faced Buffon and pushed the ball into the bottom right corner of the goal, but Buffon saved.

In the 42nd minute, Adriano protected the ball from the edge of the penalty area and crossed to Robben, but the latter hit the ball high. Olympia then took a free-kick from 28 yards but was blocked by an Inter defender.

At the end of the first half, Inter had 63 per cent possession and although Olympia had a shot on goal, they were not much of a threat. The easy game made Inter Milan fans forget about Zheng Zhi on the bench.

In the past, without Zheng Zhi's games, Inter Milan played quite hard, but in the last three games, Inter Milan has been getting better and better under the wonderful play of Robben and Xiao Xiaoluo, and the 2:2 draw with AC Milan can be said to be thrilling, and the 4:1 kill can be said to be amazing, and now playing Olympia is like a college student playing middle school?

Inter look out of place.

At half-time, even Mourinho's tone of speech became much softer than usual. But he wouldn't be so stupid as to really forget Zheng Zhi, and when he spoke, he had already asked Zheng Zhi and Recoba to go out in advance to warm up.

The Chinese fans at the Yokohama National Stadium finally cheered when they saw Zheng Zhi walking on the pitch to warm up.

With such a grand festival, how can there be no Zheng Zhi? Although Xiao Xiaoluo performed very well, they believe that if Zheng Zhi plays, the game will be more exciting and Inter Milan will play more gorgeously.

However, after the start of the second half, Mourinho did not immediately replace Zheng Zhi, but just let Zheng Zhi continue to warm up on the sidelines.

The Olympia team has not improved much, and it is still Inter Milan who plays the leading role. In the 46th minute, Zanetti's beautiful through ball, Adriano's shot from a small angle on the right side missed the bottom line.

A minute later, Ronaldo broke through and was brought down and Inter won another free-kick in front, Ronaldo feigned a shot, but the ball was flicked to Zanetti, who fired a powerful long-range shot wide of the far corner.

In the 53rd minute, Robben received a pass from Di Biagio, easily slipped past a defender and shot wide.

Inter Milan still controlled the tempo of the game, and the Olympia midfielders could not control the ball, which may have something to do with their tactical deployment, and coach Pompido was overly jealous of Inter's attacking power and added a midfielder to assist the defense of four defenders.

It can be seen that Olympia still did not give up.

Inter Milan did not usher in the second goal for a long time, and finally, Mourinho sent Zheng Zhi. Zheng Zhi came on the field, Cambiaso went down, and after three games, he re-became the midfield commander of Inter Milan.

Zheng Zhi's appearance increased Inter Milan's control even more, Robben and Xiao Luo ran harder, and their positions moved more forward.

Ronaldo had a succession of shots on goal.

In the 68th minute, Xiao Xiao Luo received Zheng Zhi's through shot and missed, and Robben also received Zheng Zhi's assist shortly after, but unfortunately his left-footed shot was also pushed by Tavarelli to the goal.

Olympia's defence suffered an even greater test, being completely suppressed by Inter Milan and could only shrink into the half.

In the 75th minute, Zheng Zhi picked up a pass in the middle of the penalty area, and Adriano's shot was blocked by Pedro. Benitez blocks ......

Three minutes later, Zheng Zhi went straight to the middle again, and Adriano hit the goal after two people in the penalty area was blocked by the defender!

Mourinho really couldn't stand it anymore and finally let Recoba replace Robben and replace Adriano with Toney. Inter's attack has not slowed down.

In the 84th minute, Zheng Zhi divided the right side, Xiao Xiaoluo crossed to the back point of Olympia, Recoba rubbed the header, Tavarelli could not react, and the ball flew into the net, 2:0. Recoba scored with his first touch.

The score was finally stabilized, and Inter Milan began to retreat to the formation and hold on to the victory. This also allowed Olympia to get the second shot of the second half in the 87th minute.

Until the 87th minute, it was a pity that Olympia striker López's shot was really ridiculously deceitful. Inter then made a third substitution, with Di Biagio replaced by Dalma.

There will be three minutes of stoppage time. Olympia has not lost its fighting spirit, except for the goalkeeper, everyone else has pressed through the half, as a result, in the 92nd minute, Zheng Zhi sent a precise guidance outside his own penalty area, the ball crossed the half court, fell into the right front, Xiao Xiao Luo quickly plugged in, successfully countered offside, and then ran all the way to Olympia's big penalty area, passed the attacking goalkeeper, and pushed the ball into the empty goal.

3:0。

Inter Milan easily defeated Olympia at Yokohama Stadium to defend their Toyota Cup title.

After the game, Xiao Xiao Luo and Zheng Zhi both got a high score of 10 points, but because Zheng Zhi played too little, Xiao Xiao Luo scored two goals, and in the end, Xiao Xiao Luo won the title of the best player and drove away the Toyota.

In 2002, Inter Milan won the Coppa Italia, the Italian Super Cup, the UEFA Super Cup, the Italian Serie A championship, the Champions Cup, the Toyota Cup, and achieved six crowns, if you even count the TIM Cup championships, they can also be called seven crowns, they did it last year, but I didn't expect to do the same this year.

On the major sports pages after the game, the photos of Xiao Xiao Luo running to celebrate became the headlines. Ronaldo is considered to be the number one contributor to Inter Milan's victory in the Toyota Cup.

Milan Sport - From the 10th to the 7th, Inter Milan's goal scepter has been handed over. Cristiano Ronaldo is telling the world that he is on track to become the third-place world-class Ronaldo, and Inter fans are quickly forgetting the original Ronaldo.

France Le Le Corpus – Cristiano is now one of the best young players and he is on the right track.

Portuguese newspaper El Nacional – he is the new Eusebio!

German "Kicker" - Zheng Zhi has finally become a green leaf, and Cristiano Ronaldo shines all over the world under his embellishment!

Brazilian Globo Sports - His name is Ronaldo? Watch out for Ronaldinho, Kaka and Adriano, this guy is definitely their number one enemy in the future!

Jose Mourinho also praised Ronaldo in his post-match press conference.

'Cristiano's performance is extraordinary, and there are not many people I can remember to be able to perform like this, and his future is definitely at Ballon d'Or."

"He's getting more and more mature, and this maturity is very similar to Zheng back then, which makes me even wonder if a player can't succeed at the age of seventeen or eighteen, does it mean that he has failed? Haha, I'm just kidding......"

"Now I don't have to worry about the strikers scoring goals, and the media don't need to say that we can only score goals in the midfield! I'm looking forward to the next league game against Udinese. ”

※※※※

The victory even led some football commentators to make surprising comments.

Sky Sports commentator Adani said amazingly: "It is undeniable that Zheng's play has made Inter Milan's control stronger, but this is not the essence of the problem, the essential problem is that Xiao Xiao Luo and Robben have been completely integrated into the team, and the two of them can decide the game through their individual ability, even if Zheng does not play today, Inter Milan can win the final victory." ”

Similar to him is AC Milan legend Rijkaard, who said in an interview with Milan Sport: "Inter Milan is faster without Zheng, Zheng is used to possession, and several youngsters prefer speed and passion, although Zheng can pass a lot of good balls, but I think the reason why Inter Milan has behaved differently in recent games is that they have not relied too much on Zheng, and their tactical play has changed." Zheng is no longer an indispensable player for Inter. ”

？

"What kind of stupid report is this?" Mourinho, who returned to Milan City, read the report and really wanted to scold his mother, "Adani and Rijkaard are both AC Milanese, are the two of them plotting something?" ”

A fool will believe the nonsense that the two of them say, I am afraid that I will not see the good of Inter Milan, so I will say this, Zheng Zhi is the most important player of Inter Milan, without Zheng Zhi, there will be no dynasty of Inter Milan.

Moratti also read the report, and his reaction was even greater, and the next day he called Wu Di and directly told Wu Di that the club was ready to renew Zheng Zhi's contract with a salary increase.

Wu Di transferred the words to Zheng Zhi.

But he didn't expect Zheng Zhi to tell Wu Di.

"We'll talk about it at the end of the season."

Wu Di was surprised.

"Why? Doesn't renewing your contract with a salary increase show that Inter Milan attaches great importance to you? You haven't seen the news that you are not an indispensable player for Inter Milan, and this is not Mr. Moratti's immediate offer of a raise, which is enough to see how much he values you. ”

"Because I don't need a raise, there's no point in adding that extra money, so I'd better save it until the end of the season."

"Really?" Wu Di looked at his cousin, still not quite convinced.

"Don't you want to leave?"

"......" Zheng Zhi was silent for a few seconds and smiled, "Well, I really don't want to renew my contract so early, I can't always stay in one club, I want to play in another league." Staying in the same place all the time is boring, wouldn't it be better to challenge it in a different place? Inter Milan have won two six-time titles, and maybe it's time to go next season. ”

Zheng Zhi still said what he really thought in his heart.

"This ......"

Hearing Zheng Zhi's explanation, Wu Di was still surprised, and thought that Zheng Zhi would stay at Inter Milan all the time, after all, he was at his peak now. Who thought he had the idea of leaving?

"It's not really because of today's report that it made you want to go? That is just a scribbling by the media, deliberately creating contradictions for Inter Milan. ”

"Of course not, how do I think so."

"That'...... I can't talk to Moratti and them, huh? Wu Di still had a bitter face.
