Chapter 441: Which Inter Milan is stronger
For Inter fans, they just feel that time is running too slowly, even though Inter Milan have been playing twice a week lately, basically every three or four days, they still feel that time is too slow......
The reason is very simple, although Juventus will have to fight AC Milan in the next round of the league, Inter Milan will not be able to win the league three rounds in advance, because even if they win, they will only be eight points ahead of the second place at most, and they will not be able to win the championship in advance......
Inter Milan fans, who have been waiting for 16 years, are no longer willing to wait even a minute!
It's just that even if they can't wait any longer, they still have to wait for the next round.
Dick naturally knows this, but he also hopes to win the championship early, and now it seems that three rounds ahead is unlikely, so he can only try to maintain the winning streak and determine it two rounds in advance, so that he can rest well before the League Cup final.
The opponent of the UEFA Cup final is Sporting Lisbon from Portugal, although we know that the strength of this team is not outstanding, but after all, it is such an important cup final, and if Inter Milan can not win the championship two rounds in advance, then they will go to this final immediately three days after the 37th round away to Sampdoria, which will also have a huge impact on the team's rest.
However, the food must be eaten one bite at a time, and the battle must be fought one by one.
It's normal for fans to be anxious, after all, they have been waiting for this championship for sixteen years, but as the head coach, Dick can't be in a hurry, at this time, Inter Milan already has a huge advantage, five and six points advantage so that Inter Milan only needs to get eight points in the remaining four rounds of the league, that is, two wins and two draws to ensure victory, then any unnecessary anxiety is not good, this round of Inter Milan is away from the third from the bottom Brescia, In the face of such a weak team that is on the verge of relegation, Inter Milan has an advantage, but they must also be careful of the opponent's hard bite.
However, Dick was not unprepared for this, he went to Russia in midweek, he let all the main players stay in Italy to rest, for which he did not even bring Marriner to Russia, this approach made Inter Milan almost lose the unbeaten record of the season, but this risk also paid off - when Dick returned to Milan, he saw a main squad that was in excellent condition and in good physical condition.
In the away game, Dick did not have any conservatism, but sent all the main lineup at hand, although it was a set of backlines that mainly focused on defense, but in the game, the position of these four people was still very high.
These four people plus three midfielders, Inter Milan with running ability in the midfield firmly suppressed the home team Brescia, this season's decline in Brescia's strength is very obvious, in fact, this decline in strength has begun to highlight in previous years, but at that time they also had Baggio, Baggio's status and prestige determined that when he played in Brescia, the opponent would take care of it, which was the biggest factor in Brescia's frequent relegation success, It's hard to get a foothold in Serie A on their own, and now that Baggio is retired, even with a veteran like Di Biagio, their opponents won't be kind to them anymore.
So in history, as soon as Baggio retired, Brescia was relegated, and now, Brescia still can't escape the fate of relegation.
They played hard at home, but neither they had the advantage in terms of strength or luck......
They played 30 minutes at home and Adriano opened the scoring for Inter with his 25th league goal of the season, when he received a ball from Pandev and fired a powerful shot from the top of the box that flew into the net to give Inter the lead on the road.
Adriano and Pandev high-fived after the goal, Pandev was so comfortable that he didn't need to adjust his pace and shoot the ball out in the most comfortable position......
In the 66th minute of the game, Adriano scored twice - this time after receiving Toney's header, Adriano forced a long drive through the opponent's last line of defense, and then burst into the penalty area!
"Adriano's twenty-sixth goal of the season! What a terrible goal rate...... He has missed five of the 26 goals in 35 league games, which has surpassed Ronaldo, who only landed in Serie A, and is about the same as Shepchenko! After two years of training in Parma, Adriano immediately showed his incomparable scoring ability after returning to Inter Milan, and his goals this season are the source of Inter Milan's progress! ”
"Twenty-sixth goal...... With three rounds left in the league, is it possible for Adriano to score thirty goals this season? You must know that it has been a long time since a player in Serie A has been able to score 30 goals in a season, although it seems that it is still a lot worse, but with Adriano's recent form, if he has enough opportunities to play, he may be able to create such a miracle! ”
Adriano on the pitch didn't seem to think of this, he just rushed to the field excitedly and hugged Dick, but at this time, the commentators seemed to have discovered something else.
This goal is the 92nd goal scored by Inter Milan in the league this season...... Judging by this momentum, it seems that there is hope for them to score more than 100 goals this season! Few teams in Serie A history have scored more than 100 goals in a single season, and Torino scored 125 goals in 40 league games in the 47-48 season! This is an unprecedented record in Serie A! It is also worth mentioning that in the 50-51 season, the top three teams in the standings AC Milan, Inter Milan and Juventus all scored more than 100 goals! AC Milan and Inter Milan both scored one hundred and seven goals, while Juventus scored one hundred and three...... This kind of pomp and circumstance has only happened once in the history of Serie A! Although it is impossible to break Torino's single-season league record for goals, if Inter Milan can achieve the honor of scoring more than 100 goals before the end of the season, then there is no doubt that they will add a lot of gold to their league content this season! ”
In fact, for Serie A, in the forties and fifties, there were often a lot of goals, but after entering the sixties, with the completion of the steel and concrete defense of Serie A, the team paid more and more attention to the defense and each had the defensive skills to watch the family, and it was difficult to see so many goals, especially during the small World Cup, the league championship goals in a single season were only more than 60 and less than 70, and the average goal of two goals per game was the level of the champion. Twenty goals in a season would give you a chance to be the top scorer...... Although there are factors of expansion this season, the scoring ability shown by Inter Milan this season is terrifying!
And this is not entirely the credit of Dick alone, Toney is moving towards the top, Adriano is at his best and more integrated into the attack of the whole team, Pandev's threading the needle, Stankovic was in excellent form at the beginning of the season, Kruz was able to score as soon as he came on the bench, and the substitutes were also competitive, almost all the attackers in the team scored goals, such a multi-point flowering is the reason why Inter Milan has scored so many goals this season!
After scoring this goal, Adriano did not give up, he continued to pursue goals, and Dick also understood this, he did not replace Adriano - although Adriano has scored a lot of goals this season, he has not yet completed a hat-trick, and he wants to complete Adriano.
However, Adriano's next luck does not seem to be very good, in the next game, he continued to pursue goals, but could not score, but substitute Cruise received a pass from Stankovic in the 90th minute and pushed a defender in the penalty area to score, fixing the score at 3-0!
After winning this game, Dick began to pay attention to another game - AC Milan at home against Juventus, although no matter who wins or loses, Inter Milan will not be able to win the championship three rounds in advance, but it still needs to be watched - Dick wants this game to draw or Juventus to win, because if such a result occurs, Inter Milan will be sure to win the league after winning in the next round, otherwise they will have to get at least one point in the 37th round......
In this game, the state of both sides is actually about the same, but Juventus has no distractions, because they have only played in the league, AC Milan has to be distracted by the upcoming second leg of the Champions League semi-finals, and finally in this game, Juventus relied on the first-half goal of Trezeguet, who returned from injury, to beat AC Milan 1-0 away and won the game!
AC Milan were a little frustrated after the defeat, but they were relieved that they were now eight points behind Inter Milan and could go all out for the next Champions League fixtures......
Juventus is still six points behind Inter Milan, and their goal difference is 24 less than Inter Milan, Juventus is now 36, Inter Milan is a full 60, such a huge gap cannot be erased in three games, which means that Inter Milan only needs to get three points in the next three rounds of the league to win this season's Serie A title!
In the next round of the league, Inter Milan is at home against Livorno, who has been relegated, and Juventus is at home against Parma.
"I've seen the league title beckoning to us...... Who is stronger now, Inter Milan or our Inter team at the time? I don't have a good opinion of this, after all, we are in a completely different environment...... However, this Inter Milan team is obviously better in attack, but they have to win more titles than we did at that time! I would love to see this Inter Milan team led by Dick surpass Inter Milan in the era of Big Milan in terms of results! ”
Inter Milan's president, Facchetti, said with a smile in an interview.
