Chapter 427: Throw it aside

Dick's words in an interview are not only to use this to put pressure on Juventus, but also to think that he does think so. It was the most rampant two years for Moggi and the two years they were most cared for in the league, for example, in the year after Vieira's transfer to Juventus in history, he didn't even eat a red card in the league, and even the number of yellow card suspensions was very small, is this normal? You must know that except for the year at Juventus, whether it was at Arsenal before or at Inter Milan after, it is not normal for him not to eat three red cards in a season! This shows how much Juventus was taken care of in the league in those two years.

Being taken care of in the league makes it easier to win and gets them used to playing in such a relaxed state, but what about when they get to Europe? Moggie's hand can't reach that far, so in the past two years, Juventus can be described as an outsider in the foreign war and an insider, the advantage in the league is very large, but in the Champions Cup, it is always in the knockout round to enter the quarterfinals at most, and there is no way to meet a strong team, I have to say that the ease in the league has caused them to languish in the Champions Cup, not only them, but even Inter Milan after the phone door has always encountered such a problem, because at that time the competitiveness of Serie A has begun to decline, just like Toney went to Bayern and always scored a simple goal. It's like not scoring in the national team......

Dick just wanted to mention Juventus, he didn't want the competitiveness of Serie A to drop so much, as an old fan, his feelings for Serie A are still very deep, and he doesn't want Serie A to slide down like this, the phone door can't save Serie A, the key is that the phone door is just a symptom, although it has given a serious punishment, but it has not let the disadvantages of Serie A disappear, plus the economic decline in Italy, the next malaise of Serie A is almost inevitable.

After returning to the league, Inter Milan continued their excellent momentum, in the 21st round, Inter Milan away to Palermo, in this game, Inter Milan suffered a certain injury crisis, Adriano was injured in training and will miss ten days, Recoba suffered an old injury, may have to rest for nearly a month, plus the backup winger Semioli is also injured and unable to play, Inter Milan's personnel scheduling seems to be starting to have problems.

However, Toney, who transferred from Palermo, showed excellent form, Dick let Martins and Toni partner in this game, and at the same time removed Pandev in the midfield, sent Di Natale, and used a close three-striker formation to launch a fierce attack on the road, this tactic surprised Palermo, Toni scored a goal in each half, plus Martins' goal, Inter Milan swept Palermo 3-0 away, made it eight consecutive wins, and scored at least three goals in each of the last five games, On average, less than one goal per game is conceded!

"The attack is still sharp, the defense is starting to strengthen, and Inter Milan seem to be getting more and more scary now!" Many media exclaimed, although Juventus defeated Atalanta 2-1 away in this round, still chasing behind Inter Milan, but AC Milan began to fall behind, this round they lost 0-1 at home to Bologna, in the face of the rapid momentum of Inter Milan's five consecutive wins after the New Year, they were only two wins, one draw and two losses in the five games after the New Year, and they were directly thrown off by Inter Milan by eight points, plus the points gap before the winter break, they are now eight points behind Juventus, As many as eleven points behind Inter Milan!

With such a difference in points, it is almost certain that AC Milan will have a hard time winning the league title this season, which is quite a huge blow for Carlo Ancelotti.

AC Milan, which is dominated by veterans, is indeed the first to lose in such entanglements, and their lineup this season can be described as luxurious, especially the back line - Cafu, Stam, Nesta, Maldini, but you must know that except for Nesta, the other three are all players around 35 years old, and it is unlikely that such an old age wants to achieve too good results in the heavy games of the whole season, but if you concentrate in the cup, it is possible to get some outstanding performances and results.

That's the case with AC Milan right now, and Carlo Ancelotti certainly won't start abandoning the league right now, but it's more appropriate to give the veterans a little more rest and perform better in the Champions League.

For AC Milan, Dick doesn't pay much attention now, anyway, the eleven-point advantage in the league is enough to keep him ahead of AC Milan, and Inter Milan has not played the Champions Cup this season, and he only has to pay attention to Juventus now.

The three-point advantage is not enough to reassure Inter Milan, after all, when the European arena is rekindled, Inter Milan will have more games, not to mention the Coppa Italia game, in Dick's opinion, it will be Inter Milan rather than Juventus who will be dragged down by the schedule.

Fortunately, the depth of the bench under his hands is still very sufficient, especially in the front field, even if three players are injured, it will not affect his line-up, his work in the summer is still very fruitful, and what is more satisfying to him is that in recent rounds, Inter Milan has conceded significantly fewer goals, in the eight consecutive wins after the draw with Juventus, they have only conceded five goals in total, only three games have conceded, five of which have been clean sheets, such a performance is enough to prove that his tactics have now begun to be fully proficient.

Having a solid defensive line, this is a good way to get results, now Zanetti, Córdoba, Materazzi and Cannavaro these four have begun to adapt to the new tactics and perform well, Cannavaro is still brave, Materazzi began to play quite well in the position of the scavenger, Cordoba on the side to fill the gap, Zanetti to make Inter Milan's left side no longer a black hole, such a performance, has been enough to make Inter Milan's defense solid.

You must know that even Juventus have conceded two more goals than Inter Milan in the five games since the winter break.

After the defeat to Palermo, Inter Milan did not have time to rest, although there will be no cup games in the middle of the week, but a round of league games has been arranged - this season's Serie A schedule is very tight, Adriano and others are still unavailable, but Dick has made some changes to the lineup, Toney and Martins partnered in the front, and the midfield sent Mascherano, Zanetti, Perrotta and Stankovic four midfielders with excellent running ability, Cordoba and Zanetti were put on the bench by him, With two young full-backs on the wings, Maggio and Arbeloa, he wanted to experiment with a frenzied midfield run and then rely on the two full-backs to get forward on the flanks.

However, in this game, this tactic is not particularly good, the two fullbacks are still young after all, the timing and resoluteness of the forward insertion are a little worse, and although the four people in the midfield have strong running ability, Perrotta and Stankovic are used to the offensive method of combining the side and the middle in the first half of the season, and they are not too suitable for this style of play, so in the next round of the game against Atalanta, Inter Milan was actually suppressed by Atalanta at home......

It's just that for Inter Milan's striker partners, their team was suppressed, but it was a good opportunity for them to score, it was the 33rd minute, Toni received a long pass from Maggio after the header, Martins played his lightning speed forward to break the goal, scored the only goal of the game, the next time Inter Milan this lineup played their defensive extremely strong characteristics, and won the game at home with defense!

1 to 0! Nine wins in a row!

There is only one game left before the longest ten-game winning streak in Serie A history!

However, the Italian media did not seem too happy with the victory.

The closer he got to the record, the more serious Dick seemed to be, and in this game he abandoned his usual offensive play and began to use defensive counter-attacks...... Paying attention to such a record but abandoning the already established style of play, is Dick too much of a showman? For a team, is it the record that is important or the championship that matters? What's the use of just thinking about breaking a record and affecting your results? You must know that when Juventus, AC Milan and Bologna set a winning streak, they all won the league title that season, if Inter Milan can't win the league this season, then even if it sets a new record, what's the point? ”

Dick only smiled slightly at such an argument.

"We're six points ahead now." He only said such a sentence in an interview, which immediately left everyone speechless - in this round of the game, Juventus showed a decline, they lost 0-1 at home to Sampdoria, and Inter Milan has been pulled away by six points, although six points may not be too much of an advantage, but in a stalemate state, Inter Milan is playing better and better after the winter break, but they began to show a decline, in this case, Inter Milan may be able to throw Juventus a long way away in one fell swoop, and according to past records, Dick is a very good manager who is very good at maintaining a points advantage, and once he puts a certain point ahead in the league, his team will win the final league title!

The Inter fans were even more happy, they had been hoping for some records, but their arch-rivals had a winning streak and an unbeaten record, but they had nothing - this time, they saw the light of day!

It gives them great anticipation as they look forward to the weekend's league game away to Parma......

However, Inter Milan failed to create a ten-game winning streak - Materazzi was sent off in the first half for blocking the ball with his hand in front of goal, Inter Milan were awarded a penalty and one man less, Simpricio converted a penalty, and Gilardino gave Parma a two-goal lead with a juggling barb at the start of the second half, although Dick moved his troops in the following game, Inter Milan relied on Córdoba's header and Adriano's penalty to recover two points and maintain their unbeaten record this season. But their winning streak is fixed at nine!

However, to the dismay of the journalists, Juventus' poor form continued, and they did not take advantage of the good opportunity of Inter Milan's draw, and they suffered two consecutive defeats on the road, losing 0-1 to promoted side Palermo, which brought the gap between Inter Milan to seven points......
