2.016 Defeat in the National Derby

Lee Seung-peak used up the remaining two substitutions in quick succession, with Cruise and Figo replacing the physically exhausted Ribery and Klose. The next game was even more tragic, Materazzi and Salayeta collided with the head and were treated, Milito and Contini also collided with the head, but the score remained 1-1 until the end of the 90th minute.

The referee on the sidelines held up a sign to signal that the injury time was up to 6 minutes, this was the last chance for the two teams, Inter Milan wanted to continue their league, and Napoli was not willing to just get a draw, even if the game entered the final stage, the players on both sides were very tired, but still accelerated the pace of attack.

In the end, it was Inter Milan who won the final victory, Figo's late set-piece hit the Napoli wall and bounced aside, Milito dodged a defender's follow-up shot and was saved by the goalkeeper, and finally super substitute Cruz made a contribution by slotting the ball into the box.

2:1!!! Inter Milan came out victorious in a hard-fought match. This game is the biggest challenge for Inter Milan this season, even if they were forced to draw by Juventus before, it was not so difficult, and Inter Milan's technical statistics after the game were even at a disadvantage, this is the first time this season. But the result was satisfactory after all, and Li Chengfeng smiled very happily.

Seven days later, Inter Milan eased up to a comfortable 3-0 win at home to Reggina to extend their winning streak to 16 games. Inter Milan settled the battle in the first half, which is also learned from Mourinho, and the main force settled the battle as soon as possible, turning the second half of the game into garbage time, and the players can also get a good rest.

Next up is the home game against Sheffield Wednesday, a 2-1 win away from home in the first leg that will allow him to face this game more calmly. In response to the weakness of the opponent's weak wing, Lee Seung-peak boldly rested Klose and Ribery, allowing Crespo and Milito to start, Zanetti also replaced McConn's starting right-back, Antonini played left-back to play his assists, and the slower Zivo partnered with Cordoba in central defender. Diarra was also deployed in the midfield position, with more defensive combinations such as Cambiasso and Motta. The overall formation is more of a 4-3-1-2 combination, which is also a tactic preferred by assistant coach Maurizio Sarri. After Bale's injury, now Sheffield Wednesday's tactics of flying on both wings can't be played, Li Chengfeng doesn't mind doing such an experiment, which can also allow the main players to better recover their tired bodies, and also for the next leg of the Champions Cup with Arsenal, their midfield 4 midfield players quartet with sharp cooperation, Li Chengfeng decided to station troops in the middle to compete with the opponent for control of the midfield.

The 4-3-1-2 formation is very strong when it comes to defence, and the compression of space by the combination of three midfielders and four defenders makes it difficult for Sheffield Wednesday to find a way to break through and cut through, but at the cost of weakening the attack. Due to the lack of wide connections, the attack in the front court lacks a three-dimensional sense, and most of the time it relies on the cooperation of mid-field players such as forwards and midfielders, and the state of the two strikers as the main attackers has not reached the level of killing gods, and the monotonous attacking methods make it easier for Sheffield Wednesday to defend.

It's not impossible to change, the two fullbacks sent by Li Chengfeng in this game are both offensive and defensive players, as long as they boldly insert assists, they can make Inter Milan's attack more three-dimensional, but Li Chengfeng didn't do it, he quietly watched the two teams on the field get entangled, and didn't give any instructions.

This situation was thought of by Li Chengfeng before the game, he specially told the two fullbacks to suppress their desire to attack, to wear down Sheffield Wednesday's fighting spirit, anyway, now Inter Milan is leading 2:1, Sheffield Wednesday wants to turn the tables, at least to score two goals for Inter Milan in this game, sooner or later they will not be able to resist the current balance of power, that time is the best time for Inter Milan to counterattack. Li Chengfeng not only wants to win, but also has to put in less effort.

At the end of the first half of the game, the score was still 0:0, Li Chengfeng was not in a hurry at all, he emphasized again at halftime to pay attention to defense, if the opponent does not attack with all his strength, then continue to consume, if the opponent begins to attack with all his strength, then Inter Milan should also strengthen the counterattack, fullbacks and midfielders should be bold to press, play the gap behind the opponent.

In the second half, Sheffield Wednesday really couldn't hold back and attacked, and Inter Milan compressed the formation more tightly to attract Sheffield Wednesday to attack deeper. Keegan knew that Li Chengfeng had laid a trap, but he had to cooperate.

Sheffield Wednesday attacked fiercely, but Inter Milan also defended very well, and among the players on the field, except for the two forwards, they were all good defensive players, and even Modric was able to interfere with Sheffield Wednesday's ball with his relentless running.

Lee Seungfeng is too aware of these Sheffield Wednesday players, these people are basically brought to Sheffield Wednesday, he knows their strengths and weaknesses, knows how to defend them, make them uncomfortable, and the Inter Milan players also follow his instructions very well, so that Sheffield Wednesday's attack is always interrupted.

Inter Milan broke the deadlock in the 78th minute when Motta broke the ball and played it straight to Luka Modric in front, who turned and crossed the ball into the box, where Milito cut in and fired into the Sheffield Wednesday goal. Sheffield Wednesday had just attacked too hard, and there were holes in the defense.

Inter Milan made it 3-1 on aggregate, time was running out, and Sheffield Wednesday's players were in physical problems and they had no hope of progressing.

Inter Milan advanced to the next round of the match with a 1-0 home win over Sheffield Wednesday, where they will face another Premier League side, AC Milan's Arsenal.

This season's Arsenal has been reborn, although they lost King Henry, but the performance of a group of young people is surprisingly good, especially Fabregas, Hleb, Flamini, Rosicky The midfield quartet is amazing, plus the second spring of Santa Cruz and the new signing of the striker Eduardo, they are one of the most powerful contenders for the Premier League title this season, this performance makes Lee Seungfeng also a little apprehensive, he wants to make some targeted restrictions on Arsenal's tactics of playing in the middle.

Lee Seung-bong used a new tactic in the league against Juventus, but it didn't work well, losing 1-2 at home to Juventus, and the league winning streak was fixed at 18 games. It turned out that the 4-3-1-2 did not perform well when encountering opponents with strong defense and sharp wings, and the lack of number of people involved in the attack in the front field made Inter Milan's offensive means very monotonous, and the full-backs' assists were also suppressed by Juventus's two wings, and they did not dare to press it with confidence.

Inter Milan trailed by 2 goals in the first half, and in the second half, Lee Seung-bong sent Ribery to make the situation better. However, there are also some problems with the forward combination of Klose and Milito, neither of whom are fast players, and if the 4-2-3-1 style of play is resumed, the link between the two will be relatively easy to sever, whether Klose is dragging behind or Milito is dragging behind. If the opponent is weak, it will be fine, but Juventus's backfield is not bad, Chiellini, Lerotalle, Vieira, Zanetti, Nedved are all strong defensive roles, plus the world's No. 1 goalkeeper Buffon, it is not easy to break through Juventus's goal.

Lee Seung-bong replaced Klose with Balotelli to play the shadow striker, and Inter Milan, who returned to their original style of play, began to regain the advantage on the field, but this advantage was not enough for Inter Milan to erase the gap between the two goals, and finally lost the national derby with a score of 1:2.

This defeat made the Italians boil, especially the head coach of Juventus was replaced by Li Chengfeng Mancini, who won 1 win, 2 draws and 1 loss in the face of Inter Milan this season, and the Italian media began to question Li Chengfeng's coaching ability, "Leading such an Inter Milan to achieve the current results is nothing, if Mancini coaches this Inter Milan, he will achieve better results." ”

Li Chengfeng ignored this kind of questioning, and he just asked lightly: "You mean that Mancini won't buy people?" ”

The Italians' doubts were pushed back, and more than half of the current Inter Milan main squad are players introduced by Lee Seung-feng, and the others are also important rotations. Even the players introduced by Li Chengfeng to form a separate team, compared with the current main squad of Inter Milan, the strength has not decreased much, and they are still favorable contenders for the championship, which makes them unable to refute.

In contrast, most of the players Juventus have spent a lot of money on this season have not been able to play, and it would be no mistake to say that Mancini will not buy them. The ability to build the team is also an important ability for the manager, and the Italian can only swallow his doubts.

Inter Milan only got one draw in the next match with Lazio, and Lee Seung-bong rested most of his main team in preparation for the match against Arsenal. Inter Milan's victory this season is a foregone conclusion, and he prefers to make a breakthrough in the Champions Cup, which is what President Moratti wants to see, and it is also the reason why Chairman Moratti asked Li Chengfeng to be the head coach of Inter Milan, he is fed up with the humiliation of being only a 16th man in the Champions League every year.

Against Arsenal, Lee Seung-bong still stuck to his normal style of play, and the experiment with a new style of play proved unsuitable in the game against Juventus, but Balotelli replaced Klose as the shadow striker, and Milito played as a lone arrow. Robben's injury has really affected him, and neither Klose nor Milito are fast players, which limits Lee's options.
