Chapter 477: Specializing in Beauty
Inter Milan and Paris Saint-Germain can be said to be evenly matched in terms of strength on paper.
In terms of veterans, Inter Milan has Modric and Perisic; Paris Saint-Germain also have veterans like Di Maria and Cavani.
In the Mesozoic side, Inter Milan have Icardi and Paris Saint-Germain have Neymar.
In terms of the new generation, Inter Milan has Shen Feng, and Paris Saint-Germain has Mbappe.
In terms of veterans, Inter Milan and Paris Saint-Germain are tied; In the Mesozoic Era, Neymar's fame and influence are slightly better than Icardi, but there is no obvious gap between the strength of the two people; In terms of the new generation, Shen Feng, who is one year older, is already ahead of Mbappe in all aspects.
In the past two years, Mbappe has performed well enough in club and national team, far better than other peers, but whether in club or national team, he is not the core of the main pillar.
In the club, Mbappe is Neymar's younger brother, just like Neymar was Messi's younger brother when he was in the Barcelona team.
In the national team, above Mbappe, there are Griezmann and Pogba, and there are also young people like Anthony Martial and Dembele who are also eyeing him.
At this point, Mbappe is far inferior to Shen Feng, who has long established a core position in the Inter Milan team and the Dragon team.
Not to mention anything else, just talking about this Champions League final, if Inter Milan wins, then Shen Feng will undoubtedly win this year's World Footballer of the Year and European Ballon d'Or, and there will be no opponent in the selection.
And if Paris Saint-Germain wins the championship, no matter how good Mbappe is, he can only become the favorite of the World Footballer of the Year and the European Ballon d'Or, and he will not be able to win it steadily.
This is a fact that Mbappe himself has to admit!
When Neymar was in the Barcelona team, he just couldn't stand Messi's suppression of him everywhere, no matter how well he performed in the team and how much he contributed to the team, the honor was Messi's, and he had no chance to come out.
This is the most important reason why Neymar does not hesitate to trigger the liquidated damages clause, but also turns his back on Barcelona and switches to Paris Saint-Germain!
Mbappe is now in the same situation with Paris Saint-Germain as Neymar was with Barcelona!
If Mbappe wants to really compete head-on with Shen Feng, the next most important thing to do is to jump out of the shackles of Paris Saint-Germain and find a team that he can take the lead.
Although, the Paris Saint-Germain team also labeled Mbappe as "not for sale", and raised his liquidated damages to the level of 800 million euros, but if Mbappe does not want to stay in the Paris Saint-Germain team to continue to be Neymar's younger brother, his transfer is still possible.
Player transfers are generally subject to the wishes of three parties – the player, the owner, and the next player.
The reason why Shen Feng's transfer is impossible to talk about is because Shen Feng, as the player, and Inter Milan, as the owner, have no intention in this regard, and it is impossible to succeed only the next family.
And Mbappe's side, if he can unite with the next family and put pressure on the owner together, it is not impossible to switch to the other side.
Of course, that's an afterthought.
At this moment, the focus of the fans' attention is on this Champions League final.
Inter Milan and Paris Saint-Germain, who were evenly matched, were both cautious after the start of the game.
Inter Milan and Paris Saint-Germain are both teams that are already known for their attacking strength.
Inter Milan have scored 104 goals in Serie A this season, exceeding 100 goals for two consecutive seasons.
Paris Saint-Germain has also scored 103 goals in Ligue 1 this season, making it one of only two teams in Europe's top five leagues to have scored more than 100 goals in a single season.
However, defensively, Inter Milan has done a better job than Paris Saint-Germain.
This season, Inter Milan have conceded a total of 29 goals in Serie A, which is a lot more than last season's 17, but it is still the team that concedes the fewest goals in Europe's top five leagues.
Paris Saint-Germain have conceded a total of 38 goals in Ligue 1 this season, an average of one goal per game, the most of any of the champions of Europe's top five leagues.
Inter Milan is more balanced in attack and defense, and Paris Saint-Germain is a bit strong in attack and weak in defense.
The characteristics of the two teams are on the surface, there is nothing to hide, this Champions League final, how to distinguish the winner and loser, it depends on who can do better at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends.
Paris Saint-Germain, in the tactical arrangement of this game, there was a major mistake!
Paris Saint-Germain, which has always been a strong attacking force, looked a bit conservative in this crucial Champions League final, and the tactics arranged by the coaching staff were not the active attack they were used to, but the defensive counterattack.
On the surface, there is no problem with the arrangement of the Paris Saint-Germain team, and in the face of such a strong opponent as Inter Milan, it seems natural for them to be conservative in their tactics.
However, this unconscious show of weakness has affected the morale of the players.
Moreover, the tactical style of play that they are not used to also affects the players' performance in the game, so that the players of the Paris Saint-Germain team are a little timid and unable to let go in the game.
On the other hand, the excellent performance of the Inter Milan team in the past two seasons is still their players, and they are completely confident, even though this is a Champions League final that cannot be missed, the players of the Inter Milan team can also show calm and ease in the game.
The arrangement of tactics and the change of mentality will have a direct impact on the outcome of the game.
After the game, experts commented that the biggest reason for the Paris Saint-Germain team's loss in this game was that they chose the wrong tactics!
This led to the manager of Paris Saint-Germain, immediately after this game, being sacked by the club and losing his job.
Of course, despite the mistakes in the tactical arrangement, the strength of the Paris Saint-Germain team, after all, is there, and it is not easy for the Inter Milan team to win this game.
The final score was 2:1, and Inter Milan had a slight advantage.
Shen Feng passed and shot in this game, and was the biggest contributor to Inter Milan's victory, and Mbappe also scored the only goal for Paris Saint-Germain, which did not let Shen Feng dominate the front.
These two young players, who have been dubbed "enemies for life" by the media, have shown amazing ability in this game.
