Chapter 238: Undefeated, Undefeated
Shoulder injuries can make it impossible for players to swing their arms, maintain balance, and fight physically when running.
So the consequences, although not as severe as leg and foot injuries, can also cause players to be unable to adapt to the intense competition for a period of time.
Inter Milan, who lost Ricardo and Ronaldo, lost their attacking power significantly, and were held to a 0-0 draw – or 0-0 – at home to AC Milan on 25 October.
Facing a full-fledged AC Milan, Vieri and Adriano barely found any decent chances, and Veron still didn't pass the ball to Adriano, leaving the latter to play alone on the pitch most of the time.
However, Mancini still values Veron's ability to organize and organize in midfield, so he endured his willfulness and continued to give him the chance to start.
And Davis has never found his form, Cambiaso was originally thought to have been bought to play as a substitute for Davis, but gradually gained a foothold.
On October 28, Inter Milan drew 2-2 away to Lecce, this time leading 2-1 in the first half, but did not keep the victory until the end.
On October 31, Inter Milan sat at home and was forced to draw 1:1 by Lazio Blue Eagles.
On November 3, Inter Milan drew 0-0 at home to Valencia in the Champions League group stage.
7 November, 1-1 draw away to Fiorentina......
"Inter Milan have gone 5 games without a win in a row......"
"Five draws in a row, Mancini's team lacks stamina."
"There were so many mistakes at the back that Inter couldn't open the door to victory."
"Without Ronaldo and Ricardo, Inter Milan seems to have dropped a notch."
The media kept firing at the team, and even Ricardo, who was recovering from injuries at home, was repeatedly interviewed by reporters.
'I believe in Robert's ability to lead the team out of this difficult situation.
'We played well, we just lacked a bit of luck.
"Inter Milan is not a team of one person, we are a team and although the injury and departure of me and Ronaldo have had a bit of a negative impact on the team, I believe the team can overcome the difficulties."
Ricardo skillfully used social rhetoric to dismiss the reporters.
Hmph, want to talk from him? Don't be funny, he's a reborn. He has 20 years of experience dealing with the media.
He knows very well that as long as he says the wrong word, it will be infinitely amplified by the media, interpreted as Inter Milan's general disharmony, dressing room strife, etc.
Therefore, every word he said was cautious, the meaning was clear, and it would never be misinterpreted.
Inter's winless streak – or rather, unbeaten streak continues.
On November 11, in the face of the little brother Bologna, when Inter Milan was behind by two goals at home, Ronaldo came back to the bench and scored twice to stubbornly chase the score to 2:2.
On November 14, in the away game to Sardinia, Ronaldo finally made his debut. Facing Cagliari, Inter Milan was two goals behind away, Ronaldo passed, Adriano scored twice, and the score was reversed to 3:2.
However, their fragile defence made another comical mistake and conceded another goal before the end of the game, which ultimately led to a 3-3 draw.
After this game, Inter Milan are still unbeaten, but it is embarrassing that they have not won a few games.
They are the team with the most draws in the league, with just three wins in 12 league games, three wins and nine draws to accumulate 18 points, and they are only fifth in the table.
As a team aiming to win the championship, this result is far from good.
Their two main rivals, Juventus are at the top of the table with 31 points from 10 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, while AC Milan is second with 25 points from 7 wins, 4 draws and 1 loss.
Halfway through the season, the gap between Inter Milan and Juventus is already a desperate 13 points.
The next round of the league will be the first direct meeting between Inter Milan and Juventus this season. If they can't take advantage of this game to close the points gap, then Inter Milan will definitely miss out on the title this season.
The good news for Inter Milan is that the current number one star, Ronaldo, is very fit, while Ricardo has returned to training with the ball and should be available for the game.
But before that, they have two more games to play.
And Ronaldo and Adriano still have to go to the World Preliminary Tournament.
In the absence of Ricardo, Brazil were still strong enough to sweep Ecuador 5-1.
In this match, Ronaldo scored a hat-trick and he also reached a milestone.
After this game, he has scored 79 goals for the Brazilian national team, and Pele's record of 77 is over!
Ricardo regretted that he could not witness this history-making moment by Ronaldo's side.
On November 21, in the second round of the Coppa Italia, substitute Inter Milan defeated Bologna 3:1 at home.
On November 24, Inter Milan, which hid most of the main force (in fact, it is difficult to say that it is the main force, now Inter Milan has changed the starting lineup almost every game, and it is difficult to say who is the main force) drew 1:1 away to Werder Bremen, and ranked first with 11 points with 3 wins and 2 draws in Group G of the Champions League, and it has been determined that it can qualify from the group.
Ricardo was in the squad but did not play, sitting on the bench for 90 minutes, and the media speculated that he had not yet recovered from injury.
Speaking after the game, Mancini said: "It's great that we qualified and we will give it our all in the next game to finish top of the group. ”
'Licardo hasn't recovered to 100 per cent yet, so I didn't let him play to protect him. As for whether he can play in the next game, I still have to listen to the team doctor's report. ”
After this match, Inter returned to Milan and entered closed training after only half a day's rest.
Roberto Mancini has no access to the media and no journalists in training, and he will have to give his team all the strength to cope with the next game of life and death.
At the Pinettina training base, Inter Milan are experimenting with a strange formation.
In the intra-team match, the main side discharged the 4321 formation that had never been used before.
In midfield, Stankovic was in the middle, with Cambiasso and Davies behind.
On the left of the front line is Ricardo, Adriano is on the right, and Ronaldo is in the middle and up front.
This is not Adriano's first time playing as a right winger, although he prefers to play forward, but in front of his big brother Ronaldo, he has to play honestly at the back.
From time to time, Mancini called a stoppage to correct the player's movement and direction of the ball, or pointed out the mistake of the defender in the position and help the defence.
When the match was over, Mancini nodded in satisfaction. Now this team finally has a little bit of the prototype of a strong team in his mind.
To his regret, Ricardo returned too late from injury, leaving not enough time for the team to adjust, and he had not had time to tailor specific tactics for the front three, and could only rely on the tacit understanding between the Brazilian trio to operate.
But he is confident that as long as the front three can play at a normal level, they can press Juventus to the ground and beat them up.
As for defense, what is it, can it be eaten? A real man is going to crush his opponent with his offense!
At this time, he selectively forgot about so many previous dominant games, and unfortunately won the draw because of the leakage of the back......
