Chapter 539: "The Triple Crown"
When Dick began to make it clear that Inter Milan's goal this season is the treble, Italy felt that Dick was indeed too arrogant, Inter Milan did win the league championship in the first two seasons, but the process of winning it was also very difficult, at least far from the point of flat, although Juventus was relegated to Milan this season and deducted points, but do you regard the other princes of Serie A as nothing?
Dick's true thoughts were not revealed, to be honest, he really thought this way - in the past ten years, the three northern powers have seized too many resources, even a strong man like Roma Lazio has been strong for a year or two and quickly withered due to financial reasons, and the other teams of the Seven Sisters of that year have also worn out their last trace of ambition under the strength of the northern top three, which can be seen from the European arena, In addition to the top three in the north have the ability and ambition to snatch points for Serie A in the Champions Cup, any other Serie A team in Europe is not able to support Adou, they are only thinking about how to carefully succeed in relegation in Serie A, and almost no ambition, in the face of such a group of teams that have no ambition, just want to keep the qualification of Serie A, and rely on fake accounts and selling people to support the team, even if there are more, there is no possibility of stopping the powerful Inter Milan.
And what happened next is enough to prove that Dick's self-confidence is not unreasonable, after the pressure of the start of the season, the next opponents, it is difficult to put too much pressure on Inter's forward pace.
In the 10th round, the home team swept Ascoli 5-0, and Inter Milan's powerful attack completely destroyed the opponent, with one goal each from Toney and Ibrahimovic, and one each from captain Zanetti, Figo and Stankovic.
In the 11th round, Parma were beaten 3-1 away, with Ibrahimovic, Sneijder and substitute Kros scoring a goal each.
In the twelfth round, Toney, Yaya Toure and McCone each scored a goal to help Inter Milan beat Reggina 3-0.
In the thirteenth round, away from Palermo challenge, Inter Milan played quite hard away from home, Mikoli's goal once made Inter Milan fall behind in the game, but Ibrahimovic equalized a few minutes later, shortly after the start of the second half, Yaya Toure once stepped forward in the penalty area to head the score for Inter Milan, and then Inter Milan withstood Palermo's crazy attack, substitute Pandev helped Inter Milan lock up the win with a free kick, Inter Milan defeated Palermo 3-1 away, and won six consecutive victories, And after beating this opponent who was once tied with him, Inter Milan cemented their position at the top of the table - although Roma also won all of them during this period and continued to chase Inter Milan with a four-point disadvantage, Dick is not worried that Roma can catch up with Inter Milan, because they are definitely not as good as Inter Milan in terms of points grabbing against weak teams.
In the league, face-to-face confrontation is important, but how many points can be scored on the weak team is also a key issue, now Inter Milan has beaten Roma once in the face-to-face confrontation, and the ability to grab points exceeds Roma, in such a situation will lose the league, it is too unreasonable......
In addition to winning consecutive games in the league, Inter Milan in the Champions Cup even sent a large number of substitutes, but also smoothly promoted, in the fourteenth round of home to Siena a 4-0, Inter Milan in the away field sent all the substitutes, and Bayern played a 1-1 draw, with five games, four wins, one draw and one loss ranked second in the group, for this, Dick does not care, whether it is first or second, it does not have much impact on his preparation, because he firmly believes that in the knockout round, It must be that his team is more physical and in shape......
After returning from Munich, Inter Milan will prepare for the Club World Cup - before that, Inter Milan still played a league game, and after only sending a part of their main players to beat Empoli by three goals, with an eight-game winning streak, the Inter Milan team flew to Japan to prepare for the Club World Cup, where they will play two games in three days, so the next round of 16 home games against Messina will be postponed until after the New Year.
The Club World Cup match was not too difficult for Inter Milan, with the winner of the semi-finals between South Korea's Jeonbuk Hyundai and Mexico's América, and their biggest opponent in the Club World Cup will undoubtedly be the international team from Brazil.
Dick didn't care too much about the next two possible opponents, although Mexico is known as the last inheritor of classical football, they have suffered a blank period in the past two years, the veterans have retired, the rookies have not been able to come up, although the American team is the traditional strong team of Mexico, they will still not be the opponent of Inter Milan.
Sure enough, in this game, although Dick sent most of the substitutes, but still defeated the opponent with a score of 4-0, Ibrahimovic and Sneijder, the two main players who were the only players on the field, scored one goal each in the first half, Di Natale expanded the score in the second half, and Chiellini scored another point with a header after receiving Figo's corner kick before the end, and Inter Milan swept the América 4-0 and entered the final with their heads held high.
The opponent in the final is not surprisingly Brazil International from South America, and the meeting of the two international teams in the final is also a big gimmick.
There is no shortage of talent in the Brazilian international team, such as the young Pato, although the young goalscorer went off injured in the semi-finals and his availability is still unknown.
'Pato is definitely going to play, the Brazilian team has always been a teenager and especially in games like the Toyota Cup and the Club World Cup, which are the best stages for Pato, he is injured, so there are some concerns, we can play a little harder, understand? Offensively, we continue to use our back-and-forth tactics to tear apart their defenses! The Brazilian team will not be particularly good defensively, and they will not be able to resist our attack...... Attack patiently, crack their doors into a sieve, go home with our third title of the season, and show everyone how we managed to win the six crowns! ”
Dick waved his fist before the game and said to the players that he rarely plays with mouth cannons now, but in such a game, it doesn't hurt to play with mouth cannons, anyway, for the players of Inter Milan, the World Club Cup is also a team they have never won, and the strength of Brazil International is not bad, in addition to the tactical arrangement, it also needs to play better in other aspects.
After Dick did this, the desire of the Inter Milan players to play was really fully mobilized - in fact, after the start of this season, Inter Milan's state was first depressed and then improved, at first because of the change of tactics and seemed a little uncomfortable, but now it has completely adapted to this situation, and Dick's tactics are indeed very threatening in attack, so they are now full of confidence in any game, but it is easy to underestimate the opponent.
After the start of this game, Brazil International began to rush and play - games like the Toyota Cup and the Club World Cup, the South American team has an advantage in nothing more than physical fitness and attention, Inter Milan has played two games in a week until now, there must be some problems with physical fitness, and at the beginning of the World Cup, they were still playing in the Italian domestic league, and they did not come to Japan until two days before the semi-finals, although they swept the American team, but their players' physical fitness will not be much better.
However, Inter Milan, who had been prepared, used defense to resist the attack of the American team, although Pato was very active, but he could only walk around in front of Materazzi's experienced and ferocious defense - Materazzi's reputation is very clear even in Brazil, and they all know that this is a fierce defender who does not mind blocking the opponent's progress with a yellow card or even a red card, not to mention that Pato's body is not very strong, and the injury is not completely healed, so he can only walk around Materazzi, so Their offense was greatly affected.
Pato had just one brilliant performance in the first 20 minutes, flicking his header wide of the far post after receiving a cross from the wing, but Inter Milan were still in the color two minutes later, Ibrahimovic won the ball on the edge of the box and picked up a cross in the box, Toni met the ball and headed it over the defender, and the ball smashed off the crossbar and flew off the bottom line.
Twenty minutes later, Inter Milan began to gradually grasp the situation on the field, they continued to tear apart the defense of the international team with fast passes, in attack the international team and most of the European giants are not inferior, but in defense is a lot worse, in the twenty-eighth minute, the plugged Sneijder beautiful gear to divide the ball to the right side, inserted Figo passed an accurate cross, Toni jumped high in the middle, forced the opposing defender to shake his head and put the ball into the corner of the goal!
The goal opened the door for Inter Milan to win, and they then slowed down the pace of the game, constantly delaying the pace of the Inter attack, and in the counter-attack they were resolute and fast, and the back and forth between several people made the Inter backline miserable.
Just before half-time, Ibrahimovic created a one-on-one chance for Perrotta, who calmly dribbled into the box and slotted home from the onrushing goalkeeper to extend the lead to two goals.
After the start of the second half, Inter Milan did not relax the attack, they immediately attacked after the start of the second half, it was this onslaught that completely solved the opponent, Figo divided the ball to the right side in the quick counterattack, McCone received the ball at a 45-degree angle and crossed, Ibrahimovic plugged the ball to the front point, Sneijder jumped unguarded and put the ball into the empty goal, 3-0, Inter Milan completely laid the victory!
After scoring the third goal, Dick began to make substitutions, Cruise and Pandev replaced Ibrahimovic and Toney, Yaya Toure replaced Figo, Inter Milan began to focus more on defense, and although Inter recovered a point in the 82nd minute, they were still powerless!
Pato was forced off after playing just 60 minutes due to a recurrence of injury, and he didn't shine too much on the pitch, and he still needs time to develop compared to an experienced defender like Materazzi Cannavaro.
"We've won the Triple Crown, right? Italian Super Cup, UEFA Super Cup, World Club Cup, we have won three titles now! ”
Dick maliciously sold cuteness and disgusted a large number of people at the post-match press conference, but everyone had to admit in desperation that for the current Inter Milan, there is only one problem left for them, that is, how many records they will set and how many championships they will win in the rest of the season......
