Despite being a direct of Mancini, Mancini was unsparing in his criticism at half-time.

Mihajlovic seemed a little embarrassed on his face, but he didn't have a hard top with Mancini.

When he was at Lazio last season, he was already convinced of Mancini, and in an interview with the media, he said that he would become Mancini's assistant coach after retiring.

In the final minutes, Mancini made some tactical changes, but no personnel changes, and Ricardo had to continue to wait on the bench for his chance.

At the start of the second half, Adriano had a good chance to get his hands on the back of the opposition, and he smashed a bloody way into the penalty area and fired a powerful shot into the far corner, but the ball was touched by the goalkeeper of Chievo and bounced off the outside of the post.

The game then entered a dull period of constant mistakes, and Chievo were determined to hold on to the advantage, retreating to the penalty area with all their members, while at the same time daring to commit troops in the counter-attack.

The performance of several new signings of Inter Milan has not yet returned to normal, except for the assist of Stankovic's goal in the first half, Veron has been mediocre for the rest of the time, with few passing errors, but rarely passing forward, and most of the passes are conservative return or cross.

Such passes, although successful at a high rate, did little to improve the situation of the game, and Inter Milan were still unable to create a killing chance in the Chievo penalty area.

Chievo, on the other hand, played a brilliant counter-attack, with several midfielders being very resolute on the counter-attack, and Franceschini had another chance to close the back of the net, but his push from inside the box was denied by the post.

Mancini couldn't sit still. In the 64th minute of the game, he finally called Ricardo up to warm up.

"You go to replace Zemaria," Mancini said, "use your speed and skill to give me a resolute deep breakthrough; If the opponent's heavy forces prevent you from going down, you can give me a flexible flexibility and try to cut inside. Connect with Ronnie more, like you did with the national team. ”

Among the two full-backs in Inter Milan's squad today, Zemaria is the more defensive, he is used to playing right-back when he was in Perugia, but as a Brazilian full-back, he is also a typical attacking and defensive weakness, so he often plays as a right wing-back.

However, his defensive ability is still a little better than Stankovic. Ricardo replaced him instead of Stankovic, which was a signal for Mancini to step up his attack.

As soon as Ricardo came on, Inter's attack immediately improved.

After creating a threat in front of goal with two broken low crosses in quick succession, Chievo stepped up their marking and was caught by two players once he had the ball. In the past, this was the treatment that Ronaldo only had.

Compared with Stankovic on the left side, Ricardo's ability to organize the ball is similar to Stankovic's, his long-range shots are similar, and his defense is a little weaker, but his ability to break through with personal dribbling and his ability to seize opportunities in the penalty area are all complete to Stankovic.

So Inter Milan consciously tilted their attack to the right.

And after being treated with a bag, Ricardo did not blindly continue to choose to dribble and break through by himself, but disrupted the opponent's defense with short passes that came out quickly.

But his teammates' position is a bit dead, and he can't keep up with his rhythm, and the error rate is still quite high.

At this time, Veron gradually recovered, frequently through a wide range of transfer and scheduling, pulling the defense of the Chievo team, so that Inter Milan's formation "flowed" the whole formation.

And "flow" means change, which means that the players of the Chievo team have to move with it, and when they move, there will be a fleeting vacancy.

In the 78th minute, Stankovic took the ball down the left and cut inside, attracting two defenders and tilting Chievo's entire defensive system towards him, and then handed the ball to Veron, who made a dashing turn and immediately shifted wide, with a long pass to find Ricardo.

Ricardo pads the ball with his chest, and when the ball is about to hit the ground and the Chievo defender is about to pounce, he raises his ankle and picks the ball past the defender and smears it himself past the opponent.

This immediately caused a brief confusion in the Chievo team's defense, and Ricardo did not wait for the ball to land, and directly picked the ball with the outside instep. Ronaldo understood, and when Ricardo picked the ball before, he suddenly ran a few steps back and got out of the offside trap, and when Ricardo passed the ball, he began to plug in at high speed, and when the football arrived, he had already shaken off the marking player, raised his leg and volleyed directly!

The Chievo goalkeeper didn't have time to react before the ball went into the net.

Ronaldo rushed over, picked up Ricardo and laughed: "Great pass!" ”

Ricardo replied with a smile: "Very good shot, Dadardo." ”

Mancini in the dugout finally breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't want his first competitive game in charge, and this time the midfield four of Stankovic, Veron, Ricardo and Ronaldo saved him.

Through this goal, it can be seen that the tacit understanding between Ricardo and Ronaldo is still relatively good, objectively speaking, Ricardo is more suitable to partner with Ronaldo.

But Adriano also has an important place in his tactical system, and it is difficult to let go...... Although the team equalised, Mancini was lost in thought.

For the Nerazzurri fans who followed the team to Verona, the equaliser was not enough, and they were desperate for a comeback!

As a result, amid the increasingly frenzied cries of the fans, Inter Milan's attack continued to strengthen.

Mancini made another substitution adjustment, replacing the out-of-form "Boar" Davies with teenager Cambiaso, and Emre replacing Stankovic, and these two counterpoint substitutions expressed his attitude: keep attacking!

After Cambiaso came on the field, there was no stage fright at all, and his previous experience of sitting on the bench at Real Madrid seemed to have matured him a lot.

In the 85th minute, Cambiaso made a one-two with Veron in the middle, and when he hit the front of the opponent's penalty area, he made a through pass to the bottom line.

Ricardo got rid of the entanglement and cut in at high speed, without stopping the ball, he directly hoisted a cross into the penalty area, Adriano jumped high in front of the goal, and a powerful header broke the Chievo goal again!

Inter Milan overtook the score 3:2!

Immediately after this goal, Inter retracted their defence and kept the score until the end.

Although it was a difficult process, they got off to a good start to the new season with all three points.

Speaking at his post-match press conference, Mancini said: "Chievo played very well and took the initiative at one point. We've had some problems at the back and we need to keep adjusting. ”

'Ronaldo wasn't excited enough for most of the game because he had just played for the national team and wasn't fit enough. His goal was brilliant and showed his killer instinct. It was a pleasure to work with him. ”

'Adriano and Ricardo both played really well and I have to say that Ricardo adapted to the game much faster than I thought and his two assists were very valuable.

"Starters? I think Ricardo needs a little bit of patience and of course, with the rate at which he is improving, I'm going to start him sooner or later. ”
