Juventus' two-game losing streak made the end of Inter Milan's winning streak seem unremarkable, but in the minds of fans, it is indeed a pity to end the winning streak in this situation - only one game away! Stopped by Parma like this - but Parma are a team that is really demonic, and AC Milan's unbeaten record is also in their hands, and they seem to be the killer of the record......

But a draw at this time is not necessarily a bad thing, at least the players don't need to be bound by the winning streak, no record breaking, there is still a chance to fight for it in the future, in the previous winning streak, Inter Milan has experienced a stage of decline from the peak, this time to suffer a draw, at least to let the players calm down, and the next midweek is a rare day without a game, Inter Milan players can take a good rest.

Next Inter Milan will face Roma at home, and the League Cup game has begun to rekindle the fire, in the next three league games, Inter Milan's opponents are Roma, Udinese and AC Milan, these three opponents are not weak, and the League Cup opponent is not a weak team, but the Bundesliga youth army Stuttgart, Inter Milan first away and then at home, that is to say, in the next three weeks, Inter Milan will play five games, and each opponent is not weak, At this time, how could Dick be demanding of his opponent? Being able to get a seven-point advantage in the league will be a big help for Inter Milan's results in the future!

At least in the case of a three-front battle, Dick was able to make some emphatic arrangements.

The rest of the game has made the Inter players look very happy, and the next week they all start to recover training, Adriano continues to recuperate, hoping to give his own strength in the next big game against Roma.

The next game against Roma, Dick must win, no matter what, after the end of the winning streak, if the consecutive winless encounters, then the impact on the team is also very large, and at this time, the seven-point advantage is honestly nothing, after all, there are still fifteen rounds of the league, and no one will think that they have won in this situation.

The draw in the last game was actually considered very lucky, Materazzi's red card was no problem, after all, he subconsciously blocked the ball off the goal line with his hand when the opponent shot the empty goal, if he didn't block it, he watched the ball fly into the goal, if it was blocked, maybe the penalty would not have been conceded - Materazzi just did what a defender should do subconsciously.

And with one man less and two goals down, they were able to stubbornly equalize, and the performance of the Inter Milan players was enough to work hard, and Dick, although stern, would not criticize the players indiscriminately.

So this week, the players started to feel Dick's kind attitude on the training pitch, so much so that they couldn't accept the change for a while......

"I'd love to say that the real test is about to begin, but when you think about it, it seems like we've been playing two games a week this season, and we rarely have a midweek break, so the next games aren't a test, don't you think?"

Dick's words made the Inter Milan players laugh, indeed, since the beginning of this season, the midweek has either been scheduled for the league, or the League Cup and the Italian Cup, and there is rarely a midweek break, but in the first half of the season, the midweek cup games are all substitutes and young players, so the main players are not particularly tired.

"But to be honest, it's a little different, if the first half of the season was a midweek game for us to develop our players, then from now on, we're going to be in real shape...... So in the next games, unless there's a loss of personnel, I'm not going to make too many changes at the back, but don't let the substitutes take it for granted – still be ready and play your part according to my instructions. ”

"There's still a long way to go in the second half of the season, so of course we can't just play all the games with one lineup, but up front, I'm going to rotate moderately, everybody has to keep their shape, and then when I put you on the pitch, play according to the tactics I have arranged, understand? That's what you're going to do in the game! ”

The players nodded their heads, of course they knew that this was the most important stage of the season, and in the first half of the season, Dick would give some opportunities to play in some games that were not particularly important, but at this time, the results came first, not the new players.

Everyone knows that Inter Milan has been looking forward to a league title for a long time, Dick is in charge of Inter Milan, the first task is naturally the league, and now the league is seven points ahead, it is the time to seize the opportunity to stabilize the advantage, at this time, there is absolutely no room for slack.

To rest, to wait until the end of the season is more time to rest, and those two months of good life are determined by the excellent performance of the previous months.

With such emotions, the players of Inter Milan are actively recovering their form and waiting for the next round of games.

The time quickly came to February 13, the day before Valentine's Day, and Inter Milan welcomed the visiting Roma at the Meazza Stadium.

Roma's results in the first half of the season were terrible, and the change of three managers in a row made their situation extremely chaotic, but after Delneri took over, they gradually recovered and regained the style of the top team of the past few seasons, and after consecutive wins, they have been sent to sixth position, only three points away from fifth-place Sampdoria, and only five points away from fourth-place Udinese, although the hope of winning the title seems to be slim. After all, they are a full 22 points behind Inter Milan, but they still have a very good chance of finishing in the top four and qualifying for next season's Champions Cup.

The first round of the two sides is also the first game of Del Neri's coach of Roma, Inter Milan defeated Roma 4-3 in a goal shootout, the whole game was full of twists and turns, Roma scored the first goal, Inter Milan scored three goals in a row to reverse, Roma scored two more goals to equalize, Recoba scored before the end, Del Neri looked very unconvinced after the game, this game will be a good opportunity for him to prove himself.

"Roma have had good results after the change of manager, but their performances have been inconsistent...... They were able to win 5-1 against Cagliari, they were able to lose 0-3 to Udinese, they had just won 4-0 against Siena, and they were able to lose 1-0 to Reggina in turn...... Delneri is still playing Chievo in Rome, but Rome is different from Chievo after all! It's okay to play crazy wide attacks in Chievo, but not in Roma! Because the goals of the two teams are very different, if he still plays his three, four, three in this game, then in this game, it will be us who wins! ”

Dick's mobilization before the start of the game was full of confidence, and in this game he also sent a corresponding line-up, he hid Toney, and let Adriano play as a single striker, with Recoba and Di Natale on the wings, Zanetti, Perrotta and Stankovic in midfield, the back line was slightly adjusted, the suspended Materazzi was replaced by Córdoba, and Maggio appeared at right-back.

Del Neri, on the other hand, fielded his usual three, four, and three line-ups, but he hid Mancini Jr., who seemed to be ready to give Inter Milan a good look in the second half.

Goalkeeper Pelizoli, the three central defenders are Ferrari, Delas and Mex, the midfield is Panucci and Kufre, the middle is De Rossi and teenager Aquilani, and the front three are Totti, Montella and Cassano.

Seeing this lineup, Dick smiled, Delneri doesn't seem to be suitable for leading giants, this set of tactics looks like a good composition of personnel, but in his eyes it is full of flaws, if the side strengthens the attack, Panucci and Kufre's assist ability is not particularly good, focus on defense, and the midfield will look extremely weak, the three forwards are all technical speed and dexterity, overlapping characteristics and lack of variation, such an attack will look very messy, when you play well, you score one after another, if you don't play well, Lack of effective attacking ...... in the face of the opposing defences

In their own home stadium, Inter Milan unexpectedly adopted the tactics of defensive counterattack, the position of the three midfielders is relatively backward, protecting the backline, although the three strikers of Rome are constantly looking for opportunities, it is difficult to find any opportunities in front of the Inter Milan defense with an advantage in numbers, and Inter Milan is constantly relying on counterattacks, relying on three strikers who are quite good in their individual ability to create opportunities......

Roma's onslaught after the opening lasted ten minutes, and then they were hit by Inter Milan, Inter Milan quickly counterattacked, Stankovic handed the ball to Perrotta, Perrotta went straight to Recoba in front of him, Recoba received the ball and crossed with his left foot in the corner of the penalty area, Adriano attracted the attention of Delas and Mexs at the back point, and still pressed the two to ferry the ball, the dexterous Di Natale found an opportunity in the penalty area, and quickly volleyed the ball into the corner of the Roma gate!

Inter Milan lead 1-0.

Such a goal made many commentators sigh, they can also see Roma's problems, the lack of change in the attack, the defense also seems slow, such a personnel configuration seems to be more suitable to play defensive counterattacks, but they attacked aggressively, but were constantly counterattacked by Inter Milan......

Delneri didn't expect this at all, either, and twelve minutes later he jumped out of the dugout again.

Adriano forced the ball to break through, and then handed it to Recoba, Recoba was tripped by Aquilani who returned to the defense, Aquilani received a yellow card, Inter Milan got a direct free kick 26 meters from the goal, Recoba feigned, Adriano followed the heavy bombardment of the goal, 2-0!

Two goals were conceded in the opening 22 minutes, leaving Del Neri unable to sit still, and at the start of the second half he replaced Greek defender Delas with Roberto Mancini Jr., and Totti returned to midfield for his usual four-four-two, but they still couldn't create any good chances in front of Inter's defence.

In the 70th minute, Del Neri, who jumped off the wall, replaced Sersi and replaced Cassano, a substitution that made Dick almost laugh - did he actually start believing in the demon in CM0304......

In the 84th minute, Recoba scored Inter's third goal with a beautiful direct free-kick as Inter beat Roma 3-0 at home.
