2-1, Inter's seventh win in 10 league games of the season and a narrow one-goal victory for the fifth – no wonder many people think they have been lucky to start the season......

For Fiorentina, they were not convinced by the loss, but they were not the only ones who had such thoughts, but many other teams......

What made Inter fans even happier was that Juventus finally lost in this round - they lost very surprisingly 1-2 away to Regina, who were in the relegation zone, and this defeat narrowed the gap between Inter Milan and them to one point, and this situation shocked the Inter Milan fans who were at a low point!

That's it! We're in a good position right now! Maybe in the next round, we will be able to overtake Juventus and go all the way to the championship!

Even though we've won a lot of games before, it's always been possible to win, right? Dick still has the ability, our team is also strong now, we will definitely be able to sprint towards the league title!

And this victory is also a huge encouragement for the Inter Milan players, and the win has narrowed the gap between them and the first place, which also gives them hope.

However, Dick has a bit of a headache now, now the offense is playing beautifully, but the goal is starting to be a little habitual to conceding the ball, it was a problem of tactical run-in before, and now it is almost run-in, but it is always still conceding the ball, not that the players do not work hard, nor is there any flaw between the tactical conversion, but the opponent can always find the opportunity to score, it is indeed a little hell......

Twenty-five goals were scored in ten league rounds, but fifteen goals were conceded, and the goal was the first in Serie A, conceding a goal...... Not the top of Serie A, but only Lecce have conceded more goals in the top six, Juventus have only conceded four goals so far, AC Milan has only conceded seven, Juventus have conceded less than a third of Inter Milan's goals, and AC Milan has conceded less than half of Inter's goals......

However, Dick still firmly believes that there is nothing wrong with his tactics, and he doesn't have too many good solutions to the problem of conceding too many goals, but he only conceded one goal in the last round, and the situation is gradually improving.

There are not too many problems within Inter Milan now, although they have conceded a lot of goals, but the team's winning rate is quite high, and they caught up with Juventus by three points in the last round, which makes the morale of the players very high.

"Need a change? It doesn't seem to need to be changed, but now that the training is almost complete, it seems that everyone can familiarize themselves with other tactics. ”

It is not difficult for Inter Milan's mature players to adapt to a new set of tactics, or they can quickly become familiar with it in training, all they have to do is gradually find that feeling of integration in the game, so after the victory over Fiorentina, Dick began a new tactical practice.

If a team wants to play well in a season, one tactic alone is certainly not enough, and Dick has only insisted on one tactic in order to get the players familiar with the new tactics as soon as possible, but now it is time for some more changes.

'It doesn't matter if it's a two-centre-back or a three-centre-back, Marco, you have to remember that you're the last defence...... You're not young, you have to know that a frizzy defender can't reach the top. I'm familiar with your growth trajectory, and I can tell you responsibly that you're not at your peak yet. ”

Dick held a double coffee in his hand, looked at the man in front of him who was covered in tattoos, and said softly.

Atlaszi is definitely not as vicious off the pitch as he seems, and he actually has a lot of friends off the pitch, including many sworn enemies on the pitch – which is a wonderful phenomenon.

"I'm not at the top yet? Boss, I'm almost thirty-two years old, and if I haven't reached the top yet, then wouldn't I have just reached the top and will retire? Materazzi laughed exaggeratedly.

"Serious, Marco, I'm serious with you." Dick didn't smile, but said with a calm expression.

Dick's reaction made Materazzi stop smiling: "Boss, are you telling the truth?" ”

"Of course." Dick turned the cup in his hand: "If this is not the case, with the strength and form you are showing now, I will not hesitate to sell you, because the ability you have shown now is not enough to accompany a great team whose goal is to advance towards the league championship and the Champions Cup to the finish line...... Do you understand? For Inter Milan, I am a newcomer and have never coached at Inter Milan before, so I don't care about my feelings for Inter Milan, and at the same time, my contribution to Inter Milan in the past is not equal to my current strength. ”

"If you have the strength, you can stay in my team, if you don't have the strength, you have to leave, and if you don't want to leave, you will only stay in the reserve team like Koko."

Dick's words seemed very ruthless, which also made Materazzi really serious - he is a grassroots player who fought from the bottom, and naturally knows the cruelty of professional football, in this world, loyalty is not enough, loyalty, but also strength, in order to stay in a team forever, those famous loyalty, if the strength is not good, the end will only be abandoned by the team.

"Boss, I'd like to hear what you think." Materazzi asked Dick with a serious expression.

This made Dick nod in satisfaction: "Marco, I said, I know your characteristics, in fact, although I have only just come to Inter Milan, I am more familiar with the players of Inter Milan than most people. You know what, you're brave and resolute, and your technical strengths lie in your relatively agile movements, ferocious defensive style, and excellent long balls? On the field, the first place to choose is to put down the place where the offense comes...... But Marco, you need a lot of physical support to do this, and you have never reached the top with this style of play, you are thirty-two years old, how many years can you play with this style of play? ”

Dick's words made Materazzi nod his head, in fact, he is not a fool, but he is still a player with very high emotional intelligence, otherwise he would not be born in an amateur but has many friends in professional circles, he has also considered this kind of problem, but he has no clue......

In fact, in the year or two before the 06 World Cup, Maticazzi's performance was very average, if it wasn't for the fact that the Italian national team had begun to decline at that time, I'm afraid he wouldn't have had the opportunity to participate in the World Cup, it was in the World Cup that he played better and better in several consecutive games, and then he played with full confidence, and the next season simply showed the level of a world-class central defender, the defense was leaky, and the attack could also score all kinds of goals, in addition to penalty free kick headers, and also play barb......

Of course, after all, he was almost thirty-four years old at that time, and after maintaining this state for a year, he began to fall from his peak state because of a serious injury.

The poor form during this period of time is actually that Materazzi spontaneously changed his style of play to make himself more stable, and after spending two years, he finally regained his confidence in this style of play in the game - fans who watched the Inter Milan game that season will know that although Materazzi had a lot of cards that season, the exaggerated defensive actions of that big move were reduced a lot, but the effect was better, and the contribution in defense was better.

What Dick has to do now is speed up the process and build his self-confidence faster.

"Reduce unnecessary big movements, no need to intimidate people...... You can play a sweeper, Marko, you don't have a bad lateral movement, you have an accurate shot, and you have a long pass...... Do you know who these characteristics remind me of? That's right, that Baresi in Milan. Of course, there is a big gap between you and him in terms of defensive skills, after all, he is a defender who has sublimated defense to art, but don't forget, you are much taller than him, much stronger, and the defensive area is much larger, you can learn from him to defend, you have accumulated enough experience now, all you need is to increase self-confidence. ”

Speaking of this, Dick reached over and patted Materazzi on the shoulder: "Don't worry, you are important in my plan, feel free to boldly make defensive changes...... In the second half of the season, I want to see a new you. ”

Materazzi nodded heavily, in the second half of the season, the time is not too long, but it is not short, after all, he is not a young player, it takes a year or two to improve or something, what he has to do now is to change the way he used to in the game, and face the game in a more stable way.

After talking to Materazzi, Dick began to add more other formations and tactical drills to the training, such as three-five-two, Cannavaro as the central defender on the left, Cordoba on the right, Materazzi as a sweeper, Zanetti on the right, Perrotta on the left, Stankovic's position towards the middle to help Zanetti defend, Pandev continued to ambush behind the two strikers, such an adjustment will not be huge, as long as Dick gives instructions and then Zanetti returns to the right.

Dick does not have a fixed range of movement in the midfield, for example, Pandev ostensibly reported the position of the forward midfield, but in fact his position is very forward, close to the shadow striker, and Adriano, although one of the two center forwards, often retreats farther than Pandev, creating opportunities by breaking through with the ball, Perrotta and Stankovic are running left and right all over the field, anyway, they can play their ability in any position in the midfield.

This style of play will bring some weakening to the overall defense, but it is more sharp and sufficient firepower in attack, which is why Inter Milan have always scored a lot of goals and conceded a lot in the previous games.

It's just that this style of play is enough to play in the middle and lower reaches of the team or a team that is used to attacking back and forth, but it is not enough to play against a team like Juventus and AC Milan, which are extremely strong in the overall performance, so now Dick needs to add some changes to his team.

Even if it's just a small change that can make the opposing coach unguarded, the key is not to stick to one style of play, and then make tactical adjustments on the field - this kind of practice is enough once or twice, if there are too many, no matter how energetic the manager will be tired.
