Chapter 515: Broom Star Appears
If Vardy's memory is correct, Inter's real opponents in Serie A this season are Roma, and Inter's final title advantage is not obvious.
Not to mention the bad things between Mancini and the club at the end of the season, Roma were actually expected to have a chance to challenge for the title before the season, but the chances of defending the title were a little smaller than Inter Milan's.
These two teams have also become the first group in Serie A, and even if Juventus directly finished third after returning to Serie A and qualified for the Champions League, the gap between the points and the previous two teams is not small.
Fiorentina is ranked fourth, and it is definitely a plug-in for the Purple Lilies to beat AC Milan to qualify for Europe, but their 66 league points look really pitiful.
AC Milan was even worse, being pressed by Fiorentina and finally ranked fifth, and even failed to qualify for the Champions League.
Inter Milan met Roma in the Italian Super Cup, so it's good to give Roma a slap in the face, let them see, the king status is not challenged.
On August 20, Meazza officially started the Italian Super Cup.
Because Vardy caught a cold, for the sake of safety, Mancini still put Vardy on the bench, although he didn't want Vardy to take risks, but he couldn't give him a holiday, and putting him on the bench was undoubtedly the best choice.
Vardy did not force himself to play, on the one hand, he and Mancini have not yet established a tacit relationship, and God knows if his willfulness will arouse Mancini's disgust, and when the time comes, he will wear small shoes.
Carefully calculated, Vardy has experienced five managers for the club and the national team since his debut, of which only Moyes and Ferguson have a good relationship with Vardy, and the other three have contradictions.
Eriksen's mental illness aside, McLaren was ousted by Vardy's strike, and Manchester United's new manager Queiroz also has a grudge against Vardy, otherwise how could he sell Vardy?
2:3, this ratio is high enough, and it has a bad relationship with so many coaches, is it all the coach's problem?
So Vardy feels that he should also be more restrained, at least Mancini has not shown any dissatisfaction with himself, and he also wants to have a good relationship with Mancini.
In addition, Vardy did feel dizzy today, so he didn't take it anymore.
With the exception of Jamie Vardy, Roberto Mancini fielded all of his main players, with Suazzo taking Vardy's place, and his form was worthy of starting, and it was no surprise that he could beat Crespo as the first substitute up front.
Balotelli was also on the bench, but Vardy estimated that it would be difficult for Balotelli to get a chance to play today, unless Inter were leading in the final moments of the game and the substitutions delayed time, he might come on to feel the atmosphere.
Indeed, Jamie Vardy's arrival not only robbed him of a main position, but also severely squeezed the playing time of several substitute strikers.
"Brother will take you to get a haircut?" Boredom, Vardy teased Balotelli.
Balotelli was stunned, and tried to recall that he was now a small round head, a short layer of scalp, what kind of shape could this make?
Looking at Vardy's unkempt head again, Balotelli's expression showed a look of envy, not surprisingly, such a unique shape has nothing to do with him.
Of course, sometimes Balotelli is not stupid, he knows that Vardy once spoofed his team-mate when he was at Everton and made Osman get a tattoo on his head, and now Osman has no hair on his head.
"I don't want a bald head, I'm going to grow a little longer, I'm going to get a moxican, I think this head style is more suitable for me!"
Yo, this tease is not fooled.
Vardy looked at Balotelli in amazement, thinking that he was playing Balotelli with a good time!
"Forget it, it's up to you!" Vardy shrugged indifferently, but abruptly changed the subject.
"I heard that you have the ambition to become a scientist?"
Balotelli was stunned again, what is this?
Looking at the bewildered Balotelli, Vardy smiled and turned his attention back to the game, not paying attention to Balotelli.
The game has already begun, and Inter Milan took advantage of the home advantage to take advantage of the slight initiative.
Zanetti and Cambiaso's midfield duo were excellent at interception, and although they were a little less creative, it didn't stop them from suppressing Roma, who were equally creative in midfield.
Figo, who has no problem with his fitness, can also create a great threat on the wing, which is also the main attacking point of Inter in this game, while Stankovic on the left is more of a strategy-oriented.
In the 18th minute, Inter used a midfield tackle to create a great counter-attacking opportunity, Ibrahimovic grabbed the first point and headed it to Suazzo, who drove the ball all the way to the Roma goal, and the Inter fans in the stands were already enthusiastic.
It's just that in the face of Roma's double bag, Suazzo failed, and Inter's counterattack came to an abrupt end, and at that moment, Mancini on the sidelines couldn't help but regret it.
If Vardy had been present, Inter would have taken the lead by this time, and Vardy would never have wasted such a great opportunity.
It seems that this is the gap between the average star and the superstar, and Suazzo is the material for the substitute in the end.
Losing character is to be punished, and Roma took advantage of the opportunity to play a quick attack, Totti smashed Zivo on the right side of the penalty area and fired a direct shot past Inter's goal.
Watching the Roma players celebrate their goals in Meazza and the Inter fans in the stands booing the sky, is this the place where you are arrogant?
Zivo's expression was frustrated, his defense just now was simply a disaster, and he was passed by Totti to put it mildly, and the responsibility for conceding the goal must be his own cup.
I hope you don't think that you are deliberately releasing water!
Zivo was brought in from Rome by Inter Milan this summer, and it was the first time he faced his old club, so it was inevitable to think a lot.
After the resumption of the game, the two teams began to fight more fiercely, and both created good chances, but the deviation of ability and luck to take advantage of them made it fruitless, and at the end of the first half, Roma led Inter by one goal.
And although Ibrahimovic equalised with a beautiful goal at the start of the second half, De Rossi gave Roma the lead again with a long-range shot.
Next, the two teams played more intensely, but the score remained the same.
Mancini looked at the bench with a serious expression.
In the end, the hope of victory is still on Jamie Vardy.
"I guess you know how to do it, right?" Mancini put his arm around Vardy's shoulders and seemed to be giving him a good lesson, but in reality, there were no instructions at all.
He doesn't really need any instructions for Jamie Vardy, who comes on for the first purpose and that is to score goals, which is what Vardy is good at.
Vardy smiled and nodded, reassuring you, and walked to the pitchside.
It was Suazzo who was substituted, and the new striker had been in a series of warm-up games but looked lost in today's official game, so his expression was not very good when he came off the pitch.
Vardy doesn't care what he thinks, the important thing is to win.
After coming out, Vardy high-fived Ibrahimovic, which was a tacit understanding between the two, and next, the two were going to open the killing ring.
The fans in the stands were so excited that they cheered Vardy's name as if the savior had come on the pitch.
However, something very embarrassing happened.
Jamie Vardy had yet to touch the ball before Roma scored again.
Mancini Jr. broke through with the ball quickly on the left side, crossed from the bottom, Totti, who grabbed the point in the middle, did not reach the ball, but was obtained by Gyuli, who was outflanked at the back point, and the man who had overwhelmed the briquette king grabbed a kick and shot hard from a small angle, and the Inter goal was lost again.
Vardy was a little dumbfounded, what is this called?
As soon as he came on the field, the team was scored, where is the savior on the field, it is clearly a broom star on the field!
Really Nima is unlucky!
The Roma players celebrated unbridledly, as if they had already won the Italian Super Cup, and did not pay any attention to the home fans.
Vardy pouted in displeasure, do you really think I'm here to be a mascot?
At kick-off, Vardy pulled Ibrahimovic and muttered a few words, a scene that fell into the eyes of the Roma players, who raised their guard even though they felt that the victory was within reach.
Vardy is a man who can do miracles, and whoever underestimates Vardy may have died a miserable death.
Playing the ball to Ibrahimovic, Vardy scurried forward as if he had scored countless long balls from the opener.
Roma defended well, but Vardy's move was difficult to deal with, so they didn't dare to be careless and waited for it.
However, Ibrahimovic didn't give the ball to the midfielder, but took a few steps forward himself and quickly pushed the ball forward of Jamie Vardy's sprint.
What kind of routine is this?
Could it be that Jamie Vardy is going to single-handedly take on Roma's entire midfield and backline?
Roma's defensive position is intact and there is no need to worry at all, Vardy is not a god, he can't pass a team alone.
Vucinic was unable to get the ball ahead of Jamie Vardy and was instead cleared by a clean sheet just before Giuli and De Rossi rushed in to complete the pack for Vardy.
Needless to say, Vardy can't just go his own way, even if he uses croquettes to get past the two, but he still has to face the Roma back and a whole backline, and it is unwise to be strong.
So everyone thought that Vardy would still pass the ball back and reorganize the attack.
But what no one expected was that Vardy was not timid at all, unusually calm in the chaos, and stepped on the ball with both feet to complete a 360-degree turn, crossing between Gyuli and De Rossi.
Marseille maneuver!
Vardy used a fluid and graceful movement to directly crumble the defense of both Roma players.
Next, Vardy faced the Roma goal from afar, and suddenly burst into the goal, and a super long-range shot burst into the goal.
Amid everyone's exclamations, the ball whistled towards the Roma goal.
