Chapter 424: The group qualified ahead of schedule
"Have a good rest," Vincent said to Vieri.
Vieri was really tired today, panting and nodding his head back to the bench, he kept pouring nutrient solution into his mouth.
Vieri has laid such a good foundation for Inter Milan, so there is no reason for other players to waste, but it is not realistic to let them aggressive with their current form, but the final score of 3:0 is enough for Inter Milan to advance to the final of the Coppa Italia.
Next, when the league was played, Fan Shang suddenly found that the first round of the league had been played like this, at this time, Fan Shang took a look at the standings, and the competition for the top few places was really fierce.
Inter Milan are top of the table with 41 points and are unbeaten in the league this season.
Even with such a good result, they are only three points ahead of second-placed Roma, who lost to Inter Milan but were strong enough in other games to get a total of 38 points and bite the leader Inter Milan.
Juventus, who are in third place, are not behind at all, with 36 points still giving them the possibility of overtaking the top two.
Fourth-placed Lazio didn't fall far behind with 34 points, but in fifth-placed Parma, who only had 28 points, it was really difficult for him to move up one place.
The relegation circle is also similar to the championship group, Bari is in the dust, with a total of 10 points at the end of 17 rounds, unless there is a miracle, or next season will definitely see in Serie B.
The remaining six teams from the bottom two to seven will battle for the remaining three relegation spots, although there is a play-off for the bottom three or four.
In the first game of the second round of the league, Inter Milan faced Reggina at home, and now they are in the relegation circle, and Reggina obviously has no way to compete with Inter Milan, so they did not resist for long in Meazza before surrendering, and Inter Milan finally won Reggina with a score of 2:0.
With the advent of February, the Champions League matches are on the agenda again, and after the match with Reggina, it is the game at home against the Greek powerhouse Panathinaikos, the Greek powerhouse in the second phase of the Champions League group stage performance is average, one draw and one defeat.
Although they wanted to steal some points from Inter Milan in this game, the difference in quality made Panathinaikos' desire to win a lot.
Inter Milan won Panathinaikos 3-1 at home, although they allowed Panathinaikos to score one goal first, but then scored three goals like a crush, leaving Panathinaikos helpless.
In the league, Inter Milan faces Napoli, the penultimate place in the league, this kind of game Inter Milan must win, there is no room for loss, the back of Rome bite very tightly, a careless may be overtaken by this wolf.
So even in the face of a weak team like Napoli, Inter Milan showed all their strength, and finally beat Napoli 4:1 away.
The ease of the league also allowed Inter Milan to fly away from home for an away game against Panathinaikos.
Although Inter Milan won easily at home, but at the home of Panathinaikos, they were like a different team, although the atmosphere of the fans was not as terrifying as that of Turkey, but the aura bonus of the home team was not too much.
However, Vincent was still on the top of the game, and in the second half, Hakansuk made another miracle for Inter Milan, and when Vieri was caught between two centre-backs, he suddenly appeared in the air and smashed the ball into the net with his bounce and air dominance.
Inter Milan stubbornly took away three points from Greece, so Inter Milan won four games and four games, leading the group with 12 points, and the most important thing is that Inter Milan has now qualified for the group ahead of schedule, with second-placed Manchester United only having five points, third Valencia only three points, and Panathinaikos only having a pitiful one.
Even if Inter Milan loses all the last two games and Manchester United wins, Manchester United will have 11 points at most, and 1 point less than Inter Milan, so Fan Shanna is really relieved, and then take the lead in the league, and strive to widen the points gap with Roma during this time, so that it is easy to spare energy to deal with the knockout stage of the Champions League.
Of course, the most crucial game during this period was the 21st round of away games against Roma, even so, in the 20th round of the game, Inter Milan did not give up, and won Udinese 2:1 at home, without giving Roma any chance.
Inter Milan paid great attention to this away game in Rome, Moratti and Fachetti personally supervised the game, and the two came to Rome with Inter Milan, and they hoped that Inter Milan could have a good performance in this six-point game.
However, for Inter Milan's performance so far this season, Moranti must be described as satisfied, anyway, since he became president, this year's results are the best year, all competitions go hand in hand, at least until now all competitions Inter Milan has a chance to win the championship, the league is the leader, the Italian Cup has also entered the final, although the Champions League is not too long-term, but now the second stage of the group stage performance is also unbeatable.
Now Inter Milan and Roma are 3 points apart, if Inter Milan wins this game, the advantage will be extended to 6 points, if Roma wins will pull the two teams to the same running line, although the goal difference is not as good as Inter Milan, but if the points are the same, the pressure on Inter Milan is undoubtedly greater than Roma.
Of course, there is still the possibility of a draw between the two teams, if the two teams play a draw, then the benefit is Juventus and Lazio, which are actually good for the fans, the four teams can compete for the championship, which can make the league more intense.
Vincent saw Capello's starting line-up before the game, and they were exactly the same as the last game against Inter Milan, and Vincent was a little puzzled, "Did Capello forget how their attack was limited in the last game?" How did their defence get broken down by Inter's attack? ”
However, Fan Shang thinks that Capello will definitely not get the same as the last game, but not necessarily, this stubborn old man may also think that Roma was not in form in the last game, and now is the time for them to be like a fish in water, and it is not necessarily worse than Inter Milan again.
Fan Shang doesn't care about this, what he needs now is to motivate the players to work the field.
