After saying that at the press conference, Dick was not punished, after all, he did not officially attack the opponent, but after the draw, he said such things, and the media began to say that Dick could not afford to lose, and Dick did not care about this, anyway, he never cared about the evaluation of the media, and then he will go to Spain in midweek to play against Real Betis, and his focus has now begun to shift to this game.

After leaving La Liga, he has not returned to Spain to play, he led the team back to Madrid when he was at Dortmund, so there is no media hype about this game against Betis - it is just a Champions Cup game, nothing more.

Betis performed well in La Liga last season, finishing fourth in La Liga and qualifying for the Champions Cup, which of course has a lot to do with Deportivo La Coruna's decline, after the end of last season, Deportivo Deportivo Hero Illueta resigned as head coach, and his current position happens to be at Real Betis......

"See you again, Mr. Iruetta."

Before the match began, Dick smiled and held out his hand to Iruetta.

"yes, meet again...... But I really didn't expect that when I played you again, I would not be in the lead of Deportivo La Coruna, but Real Betis. Irueta sighed as well.

"The world of football is always changing, just like I thought I would always be at Atletico." Dick shrugged his shoulders, "But Mr. Iruetta, we're going to go all out to win this game." ”

'Our goal is the same, not to make Inter Milan and Chelsea the undisputed qualifiers from this group. Besides, we can fight for third place to play in the League Cup. Irueta laughed too.

In this game, Irueta sent all his main forces, Oliveira, Fernando, Joaquin, Asunsan and other main players all played, and the formation was also their most accustomed to four-four-two, while Dick's tactical arrangement was a little different, goalkeeper Cesar, defenders Córdoba, Materazzi, Cannavaro, Zanetti, maintained all the main forces in the backline, in the midfield, he let Sneijder sit on the bench, Mascherano, Yaya Toure, Stankovic and Figo appeared in the midfield, There were also changes in the forward pairing, with Toney not playing and Adriano and Di Natale up front.

This starter was a bit unexpected, Sneijder and Perrotta did not play, not necessarily a physical problem, but a manifestation of Dick's changes in the midfield In this midfield, except for Figo, they are all players who can run and press, use defensive lines to stare at the opponent's wings, and attack in the middle to create killing opportunities, Toney's absence means that Inter Milan will play more on the ground, and it is also a big change to let Di Natale appear in the center forward position - Di Natale was a winger in his previous career, And now that he has become a pure shooter, it is still unknown what effect such a transformation will have.

For this game, the outside world seems to be very cautious, it is normal for Inter Milan to have an advantage, but Betis did not perform badly last season, and there is a coach like Irueta to adjust, and there is no loss of any main force in the transfer market in the summer, only Denilson, who is a parallel import, was loaned to Bordeaux, plus Inter Milan was forced to be a little ugly away from Palermo in the last game, Betis is not without opportunities.

But such suspicions disappeared immediately after the game began.

Just 90 seconds into the opening game, Materazzi received a return pass from his teammates and made a long pass forward, Adriano ran to the landing point of the ball, his forward insertion attracted the attention of the opposing defender, but the ball fell in front of Di Natale, when stopping the ball, Di Natale noticed that the opponent's goalkeeper was standing in front, and at the edge of the penalty area, Di Natale decisively lifted his feet and shot, the ball drew an arc in the air, and flew into the goal along the lower edge of the crossbar!

"The ball is in! Di Natale! A clever sling! Di Natale's shot was so brilliant that he stopped the ball and shot from the edge of the box after receiving a long pass from the back! Dick's employment is really ...... I don't even know what to say, I obviously think his use of people is nonsense, but the people he uses can score goals...... In this way, Di Natale is also likely to become an important link in Inter Milan's forward line, and after super substitute Cruise and shadow striker Pandev, who can deliver the last pass, Di Natale, who is considered the fifth pick in the front line, has also begun to show his ability! I think everyone should understand by now why Dick sent Martins and Recoba away in the summer, because they really have too many options up front! ”

Di Natale hugged his teammates, Dick laughed off the field, of course he knew that Di Natale had the ability to be a pure goalscorer, in history Di Natale after going to Udinese, at first he also played on the wing, and he could score more than a dozen goals in a season, and after changing to a goalscorer, he created a great feat of scoring more than 20 goals in four consecutive seasons!

This kind of striker is what he likes to use the most, because he knows where they are best suited, such as now, replacing Toney's goalscorer position, although he and Tony have different characteristics, but as long as he can score, it doesn't matter how he scores!

Now Inter Milan's forward line makes Dick feel that it is the most in line with his own requirements, the main force is Adriano and Toney, if Adriano is not up, Pandev will take on this responsibility, when Tony is not up, Di Natale can be the goalscorer, Cruise is the substitute, such a forward line can be called flawless!

Adriano and Toney are of course the most suitable to play together, but if they are separated, it is also a great benefit for the rotation, last season Inter Milan was not strictly speaking, but there was a focus on letting the main force play, this season, Dick will start his real rotation, especially in the front court, there are several substitutes who have the ability to play the main force, and his rotation will bring a lot of confidence!

After scoring the fastest goal in Europe this season in the opening 90 seconds, Inter Milan did not relax in the following games, they continued to attack the opponent's defense, so that Betis wanted to counterattack but could not counterattack - their attack was mainly concentrated on the wing, Joaquín was the source of their attack, but under Zanetti's defense he was difficult to find any opportunities, Inter Milan seized the weakness of the opponent's middle, Assunção is a very good player for free kicks, However, his other abilities are weaker, otherwise, as long as he plays a little better in the midfield position, with his ability to score from free kicks, he is enough to play the main role in any giant, and he will not be abandoned by Roma and come to Betis.

Inter Milan's midfield three players who can run almost broke Betis's midfield, Figo is experienced to create opportunities for the other two strikers, Betis is not without chances, in the seventh minute Joaquin assisted Fernando, Fernando burst into the penalty area and shot but was saved by Cesar bravely, and immediately got up and pressed the ball under him, without giving the opponent any chance to shoot.

In the next attack, Inter Milan had the upper hand again, in the fourteenth minute, Adriano who pulled to the left side cleverly transferred the ball to the right side after controlling the ball, Figo received the ball and sent a sharp close pass, Yaya Toure inserted in the back row received Figo's pass near the penalty spot, and then immediately got up and shot hard, the ball went into the net twice!

"The ball is in again! It was Yaya Toure who scored the goal! The Ivorian scores in Inter's first official match! Betis fell behind by two goals at home, and Inter Milan's lightning attack completely messed up Betis! ”

Di Natale's nose in front of goal, Yaya Toure's excellent forward awareness, allowed Inter Milan to score two goals after the opening fifteen minutes, which also surprised Irueta quite a bit, it is clear that the current Inter Milan seems to be more powerful than the Atletico team led by Dick, at least even the peak of the Atletico Madrid, can not carry out such a suppressive attack on Betis!

What's more, Dick also hid Mascherano, Sneijder, Perrotta and Toni in this game, from this aspect, Inter Milan not only has a strong main lineup, but also a very good substitute lineup, with such a background, it is the basis for a team to hit the top of Europe!

"This guy ...... Has Inter Milan already achieved such an advantage in a year's time? Sure enough, a brilliant young man......" Iruetta sighed inwardly.

Although he didn't want to declare that he had given up resistance, in such a situation, even if Real Betis wanted to attack, he had to see if his defense was enough.

In the next game, Inter Milan began to slow down the pace of attack, they began to keep intercepting in the midfield, delaying Betis' counterattack, and at the same time, in the attack, Figo was handed over to organize to create chances, and began to gradually kill time.

It is only the first game of the Champions League group stage, and it is a very mature behavior to start saving energy and winning in the most effortless way after quickly taking a two-goal lead.

In the next 30 minutes of the first half, Inter Milan managed to maintain the lead until the end of the first half, Betis wanted to continue to attack, but still could not create any chances, but Inter Milan continued to create chances, Di Natale and Adriano both missed good chances, 2-0, this is the score after the end of the first half.

Real Betis finally pulled a point back five minutes into the second half, substitutes Mallorca and Barcelona striker Dani received Joaquin's cross and went straight down the middle, midfielder Arzu slid diagonally into the box and shot from near the penalty spot, Cesar couldn't save this time, the ball flew in front of him, Betis pulled a point back.

However, Adriano soon showed his value, and after receiving a half-high cross from Figo's wing, he smashed the ball into Betis' goal with a very difficult starting volley, 3-1, Inter Milan won Real Betis away from home, and won the Champions League again after a year and a half!

"I would have thought that Di Natale and Figo would play on the wings, with Adriano coming forward alone...... What do you think about letting such a short man fight a shooter? After the game, Iruetta asked Dick a little helplessly.

"Because he's a good fit to be a shooter." Dick replied with a smile.
