Chapter 199: Reorganized Inter Milan
In the first round of the Champions League group stage, Inter Milan went to Spain.
This is Inter Milan's second Champions League competition in six years.
The fall of the Nerazzurri is boastful, and the top European giants who once won the Champions League under Jose Mourinho seem to be sick.
Whether in the Champions League or the league, she is no longer competitive, and the amount of talk about the former giants at the European level is starting to decrease.
In China, unlike the former Serie A dominance, with the rise of the Premier League and La Liga, a large number of emerging fans have been divided between these two leagues, which has led to a considerable impact on Serie A and even Inter.
Speaking of the team, this year's Inter Milan can be said to have carried out a drastic reform, cleaning the team's thighs Icardi, and bringing in Godin, Lazzaro, Sensi, Barella, Lukaku and Sanchez and many other quality players.
This summer transfer has made Inter Milan earn enough eyeballs, and Inter Milan's series of operations have also overwhelmed fans, and they have been impressed by this giant, especially the introduction of Lukaku and Sanchez has caused a sensation in football again.
If it weren't for the blockbuster Yile entering the transfer market this season, Inter might have become the biggest winner.
Now this Inter team is very unfamiliar.
There is also very little information about them, judging from the first few rounds of Serie A, Conte's Inter Milan performance is quite amazing, especially the new players, and the run-in between them is very good.
The progress on both the offensive and defensive ends is also eye-catching.
It's a familiar and unfamiliar team for Barcelona and you need to be extra careful against this team.
On the other hand, for Inter, their mood is quite heavy at this time.
Barcelona and Borussia Dortmund in Group F are very difficult for them to deal with.
If it was Barcelona last season, they still have a certain amount of confidence that they can win, but this season's Barcelona, since the introduction of Yile, has been a mess.
The first round of the group was a test of the day, especially at Camp Nou, where they did not expect a win as long as a draw was sufficient.
Conte is even more confident in his own defence, as long as they drag on for 90 minutes, this Inter team is not without hope of qualifying.
However, there are two uncertainties in this game.
That's Yile and Messi.
Both of these players are too strong individually.
Conte still doesn't dare to make a conclusion about how Messi's dribbling breakthrough will pose to Inter, but once Messi has the ball, they can only rely on numbers to defend.
Messi's ability to combine the ball with the ball makes him very jealous.
This was followed by Yile.
For Antonio Conte, Yile is a bigger threat than Messi.
Messi may be a personal threat alone, but Yi Le, a midfielder, has an impact on the whole field.
Yile's technique is good and his individual ability is very strong, which is a threat.
But his bigger threat comes from his ability to read the game and his ability to make stunning passes.
Yi Le is known for his efficiency, and there is a saying in European football that if you want to completely block Yi, then don't let him touch the ball.
Yes, every touch of the ball is a threat, which shows their fear of Yile.
In fact, in this year's summer window, Inter Milan has also won Yile, and even in the negotiation of Suning Shao's owner and many consultants, this year's transfer funds belong to Yile.
As long as they buy Yile, they will build a terrifying Nerazzurri army around Yile.
It's just that the idea is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.
Yile did not choose Inter, which is related to the sinking of Serie A, and in today's European football, the most influential competitions still belong to the Premier League and La Liga.
They have studied Yile in particular, so they understand how terrifying this Chinese star is.
In Conte's arrangement, Yile is the absolute number one point of threat.
In his pre-match press conference, Antonio Conte was present for an interview.
In response to the reporter's question about Yile, Conte responded.
'There's no doubt he's a good player, he's a player that every manager wants to coach and if I have a team with this system now, I dare say our goal this year is to reach the top four and even the final!'
"But the fact that in the first round of the group stage, we have to face a team with Yi, Messi, Suarez, which is not friendly to us."
'Inter Milan is a team with a lot of heritage and we all know it's going to be a tough game, but neither the presidium, the coaching staff nor the Nerazzurri have any thoughts of giving up the game.
"We're going to go to Camp Nou and then ignite the hope of Inter's rise."
The brief response shows the manager's ambitions.
However, the media did not think so, because the opponents that Inter were about to face were too strong.
If they are placed in another group and reach the last 16 of the Champions League, they may be able to cause some surprises on a European scale.
But in Group F, many media feel that it is definitely Barcelona and Dortmund who will advance.
......
On October 4, the day before the match, Inter Milan traveled to Spain, accompanied by 3,000 Nerazzuri.
At 2 p.m., the entire Inter team arrived at the airport.
Reporters rushed forward to interview.
There are many targets for interviews, managers Antonio Conte, Alexis Sanchez, Martinez and many more.
The Inter players were quite confident, and of course they didn't say anything to take the three points at Camp Nou, confidence is confidence, but you can't be proud.
Even the Inter players understand that there is still a certain gap between them and Barcelona.
Journalists seem to be extremely enthusiastic about Brozovic, who is also the core of Inter's midfield playmaking for 'the most tired player in Serie A'.
Reporter: "What are you expecting from this game?" ”
'It's the best to win the fight, of course, we know it's tough, it's a challenge for me in terms of alignment, I'm going to be against Yi, I don't know how he's going to look for chances, but I know what I need to do.' Brozovic said with a smile, not looking nervous.
Reporter; "What do you think of Yi?"
Brozovic shrugged: "In fact, his performance is for all to see, the only thing he lacks is personal glory, but that goal is not too far away. How to evaluate Yi? I feel like he's something that every midfielder needs to go above and beyond, I don't know what to think of the others, but I'm sure he's the best midfielder in the game, there's no one. ”
Brozovic also wants to give more interviews and show his face in front of the media.
But Conte didn't seem to think so, as he grabbed Brozovic, said sorry to reporters, and walked away.
The Inter players walked out of the airport, boarded the bus and left.
