In the first three rounds of the Champions League group stage, Inter Milan only achieved one win, one draw and one loss, ranking third in the group with 4 points. However, the other opponents in Group D did not open the gap either, with Ajax drawing with Rosenborg and the difference between the four teams not really widened.

Italy's four teams are moving at different speeds in Europe, with AC Milan and Juventus making big strides, while Roma and Inter Milan are moving slowly. This can be seen from the points and the prospect of qualifying: AC Milan has 9 points from 3 games and 3 wins, almost qualifying; Juventus have 7 points from 2 wins and 1 draw, and there should be no problem in qualifying. Roma and Inter Milan both have 1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss with 4 points, of which Inter Milan and Ajax are tied for second, and it will take hard work and maybe a little luck to qualify......

During Friday's training session, Vieri suffered knee discomfort and was subsequently examined by the team doctor, ruling out the possibility of Vieri's ligament injury, but still advising him to take the necessary rest and treatment, which will mainly consist of massage. In this case, Inter Milan does not have many striker options, Toney, Recoba and Adriano, only Adriano's form looks okay.

At the suggestion of Zheng Zhi, the young trident wrote a thousand-word review to the club, and published the review in the "Milan Sports Newspaper", such a "sincere" attitude of admitting mistakes was naturally affirmed by Inter Milan Club and Mourinho.

So Mourinho recalled the three of them quite in time and adjusted the formation to 433 on the training ground, and he needed the return of Ronaldo Jr. and Robben, and Ronaldo, Robben and Adriano were used by him as his first choice.

There is still not much pressure to play Piacenza away at the weekend, the two teams have only met 14 times in the history of Serie A, and the Piacenza team is at a disadvantage with 2 wins, 3 draws and 9 losses, scoring 8 goals and conceding 21 goals; Among them, 2 wins, 1 draw and 4 losses at home are at a disadvantage, scoring 6 goals and conceding 11 goals.

Perhaps, Piacenza will become Inter's punching bag?

However, the day before the departure for Piacenza, Inter Milan suffered another bad luck!

Buffon and Materazzi were injured in quick succession, with Buffon having a recurrence of an old right hip injury and Materazzi suffering a muscle strain in training.

This time Mourinho is really scolding, even God seems to want Inter Milan to lose, right? Do you have to hurt Cambiaso, Zheng Zhi, and Adriano when you turn around?

Mourinho admitted to reporters: "We do have two or three important players who will miss Sunday's game and I wonder if the team is cursed by God, otherwise why there are so many injuries in just one week. On Sunday, I'm going to change the line-up, we're not going to make excuses for the lack of generals, our goal is to win, and don't forget that we're still the leaders. ”

Since Buffon can't play, substitute goalkeeper Fontana will definitely replace him, and in Materazzi's position, there are still options, Carvalho, Stam and Córdoba can all be used, but it really can't be used, and there is a Zheng Zhi.

Although there is a shortage of major generals, Spinach still thinks that Inter Milan will win away from home, but they only give Inter Milan a handicap of half a draw, and there is a great hope of winning, but a small win.

However, the media is not optimistic about Inter. Before the war, "Milan Sports Newspaper" wrote an article called "Crisis", directly pointing out that Inter Milan is short of major generals, is not in stable form, and may lose points in future games, and AC Milan and Inter Milan will open up the gap between Inter Milan.

Torino Sport is of a similar view – Inter Milan could drop the top spot this weekend, their squad and form are not enough to keep them on to win!

……

……

The young trident is back in the starting line-up.

After the start of the game that afternoon, it seems that everything has been verified, after the start of the game, Inter Milan did not play well, Piacenza did a good job of defense, Inter Milan did not get any good chances to score, although they have been controlling more of the ball in the first half hour, but it was not until the 36th minute that the score was rewritten, Xiao Xiaoluo broke through with the ball on the right side, Adriano grabbed a point in the penalty area, but the opposing defender rushed out of the bottom line, Zheng Zhi took a corner kick on the right side, Di Biagio's header from a tight angle at the near post bounced off Joe in midfield and into the net.

Inter Milan took the lead.

At half-time, Inter Milan led 1-0.

Two minutes into the second half, Piacenza crossed from the left, the unmarked Hubnell headed into the far corner from 7 meters in front of goal, and the pre-moving Fontana unbelievably blocked the ball with his toes in the air to ensure that Inter Milan still maintained the lead.

And Mourinho let Toney and Recoba warm up on the sidelines early, I don't know if this gave Xiao Xiao Luo and Robben a huge pressure, in the 51st minute, Inter Milan launched a counterattack, Zheng Zhi instigated an attack to distribute the ball to the left side, Robben passed to Zanetti on the left side, Zanetti stopped the ball and rushed forward, and distributed the ball to Xiao Xiao Luo on the right side, Xiao Xiao Luo picked up the ball with the outside of his right foot outside the big penalty area, Adriano understood and inserted the ball on his chest to stop the ball, and pushed the outside of his right foot into the net on the edge of the small penalty area!

2:0。

In the 55th minute, Di Biagio hooked Maresca from behind on the edge of the box, and he was lucky to escape punishment with a yellow card, when Hubnerso took a penalty, but the referee awarded a free-kick and Maresca's shot was blocked by Fontana.

Three minutes later, Piacenza suffered another bad luck when Hubnell dribbled near the baseline on the right, Zanetti and Panucci both stepped forward to block the ball, the former blocked the ball off the line, and the assistant referee awarded a goal kick, which Hubnel argued with and was sent off.

11 to 10, this is the mode that Inter Milan is happy to see, but Piacenza, who plays more with less, maintains a strong attack, and Inter Milan seems passive. In the 62nd minute, Fontana performed another miracle when Ricciu fired a left-footed shot from 22 yards out, and Fontana flew to block the ball with his fingertips. After that, Zheng Zhi made a long pass over the top to find Adriano, and Adriano won a single knife against offside, but he couldn't shake goalkeeper Guadharben in the end.

Adriano missed the chance to score a brace, but soon after Zheng Zhi again played a left-footed straight through the middle, Adriano attracted two defenders and immediately knocked on the right side of the box to Xiao Xiao Luo, who scored with a right-footed shot from the edge of the small box.

3:0。

In the 72nd minute, Piacenza pulled one back, Montaño was brought down by Di Biagio, Maresca took a free-kick from 30 yards out, and his powerful right-footed shot hung into the top left corner of the net.

3:1, but Inter Milan still led by two goals, Piacenza did not give up and continued to put pressure on Inter Milan, but in the 86th minute, Inter Milan played a quick counterattack again, Zheng Zhi sent a long pass in the backfield, Robben inserted it from the left side at high speed, and burst into Piacencha's big penalty area, but before shooting, the ball was shoveled out of the bottom line.

Zheng Zhi took a corner kick, Piacenza defender's header cleared the goal, Zheng Zhi curled the ball again on the bottom line, the ball fell to the back point, Robben answered at the far post, and scored with a header 4 meters in front of the goal!

Another 4:1, the final full-time game, Inter Milan ushered in the start of a four-game winning streak.

The trident came into full swing at the same time, with Arjen Robben, Ronaldo and Adriano scoring a goal each.

After the Champions League defeat, Inter Milan quickly regained their winning feeling in the league, and the Trident was undoubtedly the biggest contributor to the victory, but Mourinho did not mention the Trident in his post-match press conference......

Mourinho said after the game: 'It was a tough game, but I saw that my players were doing well and we used the numerical advantage well. I am very satisfied. Although Gianluigi Buffon was unavailable today, Fontana was a brilliant performer, especially when he saved Hubner's shot. It was an important win for us, we are already out of the Champions League defeat to Lyon, and we are still at the top of the table and we should continue that momentum in the games ahead. ”

Jose Mourinho gave special praise to Fontana, who came on as a substitute for Gianluigi Buffon, saying: "The players who came on today were in excellent form and I'm very happy to see what we've done this week, especially Fontana, who has been fantastic! He saved at least three must-have goals and, of course, most importantly, we took an early lead to put ourselves in a good position. ”

However, the victory was far less relaxed than the scoreline, saying: "In the first half, we were passive and we conceded a lot of times when we were down in midfield, but we persevered. Of course, the pre-match 'crisis theory' is not a bad thing for the team, it stimulates my players to play better. ”

Inter captain Zheng Zhi also said: "I am very happy that we were able to come out of the shadow of the Champions Cup defeat and keep the top spot, it was a very difficult and very important victory. ”

He was also impressed by Fontana: "He did a great job today! After defusing Hubner's shots on a number of occasions and I think today we were able to beat Piacenza and he was a big man. ”

？？？

In the away locker room, Xiao Xiao Luo and Robben didn't even take a shower, sat in front of the TV with a bench, and watched the press conference quietly, but from beginning to end, neither of them heard the boss talk about them, but they were just praising Fontana.

"Finished?" Until Zheng Zhi and Mourinho left the press conference, Xiao Xiaoluo couldn't believe that they didn't mention the two of them at all.

"It's over." Robben's eyes flashed with disappointment.

Who doesn't want to be praised after a good game? The two of them are just children. But there is no, not a word.

"Excessively, forgetting about us all. It must have been deliberate. Little Luo muttered.

"Perhaps...... Because we're not good enough? Robben wasn't sure.

At this time, Zanetti, the vice-captain, walked up to them, wiped his hair, and said with a smile, "You two, how many goals have you scored combined?" ”

"That's it, you want to be praised by the manager? It's going to take at least a couple of games in a row to get the boss to speak, and especially if you make a mistake on Tuesday, you need to keep taking action. ”

"Oh," Luo nodded, "but I've only played one game in Fonsetta?" ”

"Without him, we might just be a 4-4 draw now, right? But without you? Can't we win? Zanetti smiled again.

"This ......"

"This ......"

Xiao Xiao Luo and Robben really have nothing to refute, Fonseta is really awesome, a good goalkeeper is equivalent to half a team, and they are indeed not irreplaceable......

As if to see their thoughts, Zanetti said: "In the first two years, Ronaldo's goals were forty-five, when can you reach half of his stats, people have to have goals, otherwise what's the difference with salted fish?" You look at Ade, he didn't want to be praised because he knew he wasn't good yet......"

Ronaldo's half-goal statistic, that's at least 20 goals. That's too high, isn't it? In the world of football, there are not many players who can score 20 goals in a season?

Robben shook his head with a wry smile in his heart, but Xiao Xiaoluo's gaze flashed with a hint of imperceptible sharpness......

Not only did Inter Milan not praise it, but even the Italian media did not praise it, because their limelight was stolen by the next door.

AC Milan thrashed Torino 6-0 at home, with Inzaghi netting his second hat-trick of the season and netting 15 goals in nine games this season, while partner Andriy Shevchenko netted twice and another starter, Kaka, provided three assists.

With such gorgeous data, it is no wonder that the limelight of Inter Milan players can not be stolen......

Looking at the news of the AC Milan players that was overwhelming the next day, Xiao Xiaoluo and they could only train silently, looking forward to the next game, and only if the performance overwhelmed the next door, the media would favor them.

On Monday afternoon, Mourinho's office welcomed a familiar guest, Mr. Zheng's cousin and agent, Wu Di.

"José,"

"I'm completely different from Mr Mendes' recommendation and I think that since your team is playing the storm of youth now, you should take it through to the end. The player that Mr. Mendes recommends to you is Mesozoic, but the one I recommend to you is an absolute primozoic ......"

"He's definitely a top talent."

"Another genius? Not everyone in this world is Robben and Xiao Luo, and it takes absolute luck to dig out the real genius. But tell me, what is the name of this genius you are talking about? ”

"I think he's probably even better than Arjen Robben and Rojdo, at least in terms of dribbling, not by an order of magnitude." Wu Di smiled.

"And, he's younger, too young to believe."

"Huh," Mourinho was clearly intrigued.

"Who?"
