Chapter 499: Winning streak
NB When the final whistle blew, Dick stood up with a smile and greeted the players rushing down the field with open arms, while Zamparini had already left the box at the Meazza Stadium, and Dick had not responded to him before, but with Dick's temper, now that he had won the game, he would have ignored him. [Full text reading. ใ
However, this kind of attention is not needed by Zamparini, he wants to brush up his presence, but he doesn't want to be slapped in the face......
"Mr. Zamparini said before the game that he didn't know how we won those games, and I think after this game, he should have known...... Figo did a great job? Normally, he's always been a top player, and the addition of him and Sneijder has made our set-pieces more powerful and we have more tools to score. Ten wins in a row? It's just a record, and setting a new record is our expectation. โ
When Dick said this at the press conference, the reporters were shocked - it turned out that inadvertently, Dick tied a record, according to reason, such a record is impossible to be mentioned now, but before everyone's attention was attracted by the breaking of the unbeaten record, until this time, everyone remembered, following last season, Inter Milan is close to this record, and compared with last season's nine consecutive wins and a draw, this season they are not so high-profile, But there has been a ten-game winning streak quietly, and this is the fourth time that a Serie A team has set this record!
"Just one record has been broken, and the next one is to be broken...... Let's take a look at who Inter Milan's next opponent is...... Well, it's Lecce, well, Inter Milan are about to set a new record......"
After Zeman's departure, Lecce, who was only one step away from the European arena last season, was immediately beaten back to the prototype, although they still have a group of good players such as Vuciniฤ, but Zeman's departure removed their backbone, directly leaving them at the bottom like Treviso, and the gap from other teams is very large - it is normal for Treviso to have such a performance, most of their players are almost at the level of Serie B, and it is not surprising to have such a performance in Serie A, However, Lecce is an old Serie A team, and being able to play like this only proves that they have completely lost their soul.
If Zeman is still there, even if this game will be lost, people will have a certain amount of confidence in Lecce, but now Lecce ...... Not to mention facing Inter Milan, even if you face other teams, you won't have much chance of winning.
Before the match against Lecce, Inter Milan ushered in the first leg of the Coppa Italia quarter-finals - this time in the Coppa Italia match, Inter Milan's opponents appear to be stronger, their current opponent is Lazio - Lazio are now only in the middle of the table, but they are not in danger of relegation, in the Cup, they have a lot of interest to make an impact.
As for Lazio, they have never been afraid of Inter Milan, Inter Milan with Ronaldo was defeated 3-0 by them in the peak season of 97-98, and the following year, they defeated Inter Milan 5-3 at the Meazza Stadium, and they have a certain psychological advantage over Inter Milan.
In this game, Dick sent all his main lineup, the league is still three points behind Juventus, and soon after the decisive battle with Juventus, in this case, naturally can not let the main players consume too much in the Italian Cup, and now Dick is not rotated in the league, just to catch up with Juventus more closely, so that they are under more pressure, in this case, Dick does not have much interest in the Italian Cup.
At the Stadio Olimpico in Rome, Inter Milan's substitutes were entangled with Lazio, who sent most of the main players, and finally Pandev scored a beautiful shot from outside the penalty area, and Lazio equalized with Rocchi's goal, and the two sides played a 1-1 match, and the decisive battle will be played at the Meazza Stadium, and Dick is still relatively satisfied with this result.
There is not much interest in the Coppa Italia fans either, they are looking forward to the league weekend!
"Eleven wins in a row! Eleven wins in a row! Eleven wins in a row! โ
Inter Milan fans shouted such slogans and flocked to the Meazza stadium, in such an atmosphere, the Lecce players who were not very good did not have the style of the previous little pepper, they were beaten passively throughout the game, although the two forwards were stared at by Lecce very deadly, but relying on the interspersed running of the two forwards, Figo and Stankovic completed two goals in the middle of the field, Inter Milan defeated Lecce 2-0, winning eleven consecutive victories!
"A new record! Another new record has been born! After breaking the unbeaten record, Inter Milan broke a record of 74 years! After Juventus set a record of 10 consecutive wins in the 31-32 season, C Milan and Bologna both equaled this record, but they still failed to break it by one step, and now, after 74 years, a new record has been born! Great Inter! They broke their unbeaten streak and then their winning streak! Eleven! Gentlemen, remember that Inter Milan this season, although they have not won any title this season so far, these two records are enough for them to carve their names in the history of Serie A! โ
"In addition to breaking the winning streak, Inter Milan has brought themselves closer to Juventus! Juventus missed a lot of chances in this round and they were held to a 1-1 draw by Parma! In this way, there is only one point left between Inter Milan and Juventus! Juventus should pay attention now, otherwise they are likely to be like C Milan, when they are ahead of Inter Milan, they are chased by Inter Milan in a row and then overtaken, and then win in the face-to-face confrontation, leaving the opponent away in one go! C Milan are now nine points behind Inter Milan and have almost lost hope of attacking the league title, which has a lot to do with their defeat against Inter Milan......
For Juventus, this draw is indeed a big blow to them, watching Inter Milan chase from five points to three points, and then from three points to one point, such pressure will create enough pressure for the players, after two rounds of matches it will be Inter Milan's home game against Juventus, if Inter Milan beat Chievo and Fiorentina in the next two rounds, and Juventus drop points on Ascoli and Udinese, Then what happened to C Milan is also likely to happen to Juventus!
'It's the most important juncture for us in the league and we have to be careful. Capello told the players on the training ground.
"If we continue like this, this season is far from being more important, and the Champions Cup will be the biggest test for us." Dick said to the players on the training ground.
However, the following midweek events were very happy for the anti-Inter Milan members, because Inter Milan, who had played on three fronts at the same time this season, finally had to stop advancing in one game - in the Coppa Italia in midweek, Inter Milan came on as all substitutes at home again, only to be attacked by Lazio shortly after the opening, although Cruz equalized for Inter Milan in the second half, but Lazio locked the score at 1-1 in the following game, and finally the two sides went to penaltiesIn the penalty shootout, Lazio defeated Inter Milan with a score of 5-3 and successfully entered the semi-finals of the Coppa Italia, and Inter Milan stopped in the quarter-finals of the Coppa Italia!
"It's a shame that we're missing a tournament that allows more teams to stay in shape, it's a shame. But it doesn't have any impact on the league and the Champions Cup, I won the Coppa Italia last season and I don't have much interest this season, defending the league title and making a breakthrough in the Champions Cup is what I want to see. It's a good situation now and I'm confident that I'm going to be at the top of the standings. Serie A has been a tough season and with our points grabbing rate, we would normally have enough to gain a good advantage in the table, but we are now only in second place. We dropped some points during the time I was banned, but thankfully our players survived in that period. After the first round, there were a lot of people in the Torino media who thought I was lucky not to lose away from home, and I think they had forgotten how we managed to win 3-0 at Alp last season...... League champions? It belongs to Inter Milan and there is no doubt that in the Champions Cup, we will also be aiming for a third Champions Cup. Since there is no chance of surpassing Juventus' league title tally for the time being, let's go for the Champions League tally that surpasses them. โ
Dick's speech after the Coppa Italia kicked off the Italian derby, and although there are still ten days to go, there is no doubt that almost everyone believes that this game will be the outcome of the season, and whoever wins this game will be the winner of this season.
"Don't be influenced by outside comments, get it? The game against Juventus, as important as it was, was not to the point where they could win the league title...... There are thirteen league games left after this league, and that's thirty-six points, which is enough to change many, many things! And after the Italian derby, the Champions League knockout rounds are about to begin, and all we have to do is grab as many points as possible in the league...... Don't forget that Juventus is also going to play in the knockout round of the Champions Cup, we are on the same starting line, we don't need to be the best, what we have to do is to get at least two more points than Juventus in the next league and we will be able to win the league title, understand? โ
For Dick and his Inter Milan, they are now fully prepared and waiting for the biggest test, Inter Milan have won consecutive games without the Champions Cup, and Juventus are also unbeaten, only four points less than Inter Milan, this situation will not last forever, and when the Champions Cup knockout round begins, the results of the two leagues will definitely be affected, in this case, whoever can be less affected than the other side will take the lead in the league - about this, It's clear to all.
On February 5, Dick boldly sent all the substitutes in this league to let the main players rest collectively, and finally relied on Cruz's goal in the seventh minute of the first half, Inter Milan defeated Chievo 1-0 at home, and continued to chase Juventus, and Juventus defeated Ascoli 3-1 with a hat-trick by Trezeguet, leading the standings by one point, and there are still seven days before the two sides meet.
Inter Milan's winning streak has reached twelve.
