On the evening of September 14, in Meazza, the first match of Group G of the Champions League group stage, Inter Milan played last season's Bundesliga champion Werder Bremen at home.

Werder Bremen won the title last season with an absolute advantage of six points, which is a very convincing result.

Those who don't know this team always think that the team's brilliant record is entirely brought by a few frontcourt players.

Admittedly, the Greek Charlisteas has four goals in 24 league appearances, Croatia international Krasnić has 13 goals in 29 appearances, and striker Miku – Zidane's successor has scored 10 goals in 32 appearances for Werder Bremen. They all contributed to Werder Bremen's victory.

This season, they have brought in German international Klose, and the front line has been further strengthened.

But if you ignore Bremen's simple but very practical defence and midfield, you will suffer a big loss. Pasanin, Ismail, Horst, Borowski, Bauman...... These names may not be enough to hear, but those who underestimate them have paid the price.

In this game, Bremen lined up in a 4312 formation, with three meat grinder-style midfielders paired with Miku up front, with Krasnich and young Paraguayan striker Valdés at the top, with Charlesteau and Klose both on the bench.

It can be seen from this line-up that Bremen intends to play defensive counter-attacks away from home, and Krasnich and Valdés are both fast, excellent dribbling, and have a certain ability to play the ball, suitable for counter-attacking strikers.

And Miku was called "Zidane's successor" by the French media, which is naturally not unreasonable, he has excellent skills, dribbling, shooting, and passing are quite standard, and the speed is also very fast, and he is also strong enough to fight not badly. With him present, he was able to supply the two strikers with shells on a steady stream of energy. Miku, who played for Parma in the 2000-2002 season, is also familiar enough with Italian football, and in the 00-01 season, Parma was able to reach the top four in the league without Miku's midfield scheduling.

Inter Milan continued to play in the 442 formation in parallel to the midfield, and Mihajlovic, who contributed a disastrous performance in the last game, was taken out of the starting line-up, and he was replaced by Colombian international Córdoba; Right midfielder Van der Meyde, Stankovic moved to the middle to partner Veron, left midfielder Licardo; The strikers are a combination of Adriano and Vieri.

Perhaps the most intriguing attraction is the first start of new signing Ricardo.

In the North Stand of Meazza, many die-hard fans awaited with interest to see Ricardo make his debut at the Meazza Stadium.

Of course they knew about Licardo's excellent performance in the last round of the league, but it was only an away game, and not many people travelled to Verona with the team to see him perform in person.

And today, Ricardo will make his debut in front of tens of thousands of neras.

During the warm-up, Ricardo was in a good mood, talking and laughing with Adriano and Vieri. You can see that he is relaxed and does not feel any pressure.

Speaking of which, it's been a long, long time since he's played in the Champions League...... Since his return to Tottenham in his last life, he has not played at the highest level of European clubs.

He couldn't miss performing on a stage like this one very much.

In this life, although he has not played in the Champions League, he has played more than a dozen games in the Copa Libertadores, which is at the same level as the Champions League, and the fanatical atmosphere of South American football is no worse than the Champions League, so he has no need for stage fright.

Before the start of the game, many fans in the stands were already jumping, singing and dancing, and some fans were communicating.

"Remember, don't be too our new signings and give them some time to get used to. Even if they make a serious mistake in this game, definitely don't boo. ONE OF THE LEADERS OF THE MILANO NERAZZURRA FAN GROUP, CASIRACHI SAID.

Several people around him nodded repeatedly: "We know this without you saying it, Mario, we are very patient." ”

"It's not just us who have to do it," Kasiraki said, "and it's better for a few other organizations to align with us." ”

This is of course difficult to do. Although Nerazzurri Milan is one of the largest Inter fan groups, they are also unable to exert strong influence over other fan groups.

However, several people still agreed: "I'll contact you right away." ”

"Mario, you went to the game against Chievo, how was Licardo doing?" It was Dino who was questioned, and one of the core members of the Nerazzurri Milan.

"It's outstanding." Kasirathi said simply.

"To be specific," Dino replied unsatisfactorily, "just how good is he, and can he be Ronnie's successor and lead us forward for the next decade?" ”

"Of course you can, as long as you watch his game, you will think the same way as me," said Casiracki without thinking. $20 million, this time we really picked up the treasure. ”

"$20 million isn't cheap, man, we only spent $27.5 million on Ronaldo."

"Hehe, can you compare it then and now, now any transfer is forty or fifty million euros," Karasic said confidently, "As for whether it's worth it or not, you don't have to fight with me, you will understand after watching this game." ”

They were happily exchanging ideas when the referee blew the whistle for the start of the game. Inter kicked off and they launched a sharp attack towards the opposition from the first minute, while successive waves of attacks were launched from the left.

"Ricardo has the ball again, he's very active today, it's his first appearance at the Meazza Stadium and I guess he wants to impress the fans." The narrator said.

Ricardo knew exactly what he had to do. The game must be won. Proper showmanship is also necessary, and fans want the team to win and expect to see a great show.

Although it may seem picky, the fans are the ones who feed the players, and of course they have to work hard to please them.

So Ricardo decided to add dribbling appropriately today.

Of course, he didn't dribble blindly, nor did he delay time by dribbling when he should have speeded up, but when he felt the need to use the belt to create space and open up the situation, he took a few feet.

The Finn Pasanen bent down and stared closely at Ricardo's shoulder, keeping an eye on Ricardo's footsteps and the football with the rest of his gaze.

Although he is only 23 years old, he has already played more than 10 games for the Finnish national team, and he has also established himself as a regular in Werder Bremen, so he can be regarded as an experienced defender.

Instead of playing at centre-back, he moved to right-back to defend Ricardo in the right wing-back position.

He vividly remembers what Schaff said in the dressing room: "It's good news for us that the opposing Ronaldo can't play, but their Vieri and Adriano can't be taken lightly. There is another person, Ricardo, don't underestimate him, he is a player who can do miracles on the field. Betley, he'll leave it up to you to defend. ”

But he doesn't understand why the head coach Schaaf is arranging it this way, his advantage is that he is fierce and has a good sense of position, and the disadvantage is that his physical fitness is not good enough and his speed is too slow. In the opening minutes, he couldn't keep up with Ricardo.

So he was very nervous at this time, as if he was facing a great enemy.
