Chapter 381: A good start

Seeing the situation, Vincent saw the situation as well, sending Emerson to the right, with Thuram often returning to the box to assist the two centre-backs in defence.

At the same time, he also grabbed the captain Zanetti and told him to tell Materazzi not to rise to the top.

Materazzi was banned by Fan Shang when he was in Bordeaux again, and now he heard Zanetti convey what Fan Shang meant, Materazzi quickly nodded at Fan Shang, he didn't want to be banned again.

The ensuing game is a mutual attack between the two sides, one high and high, the other ground penetration, and it depends on who scores first.

In the 84th minute, Inter Milan's penetration in the middle showed effect again, Seedorf received a pass from Yugovic, raised his foot at the top of the penalty area and shot long, the angle of the ball was tricky, even if the goalkeeper was tall and long-armed, it did not stop the trend of the ball flying into the upper right corner.

Inter Milan took a 2-0 lead.

"Huh" Fan Shang breathed a sigh of relief, and finally sat back in his coach's seat, this game is probably so decided, although there is no Ronaldo and Vieri, but Fan Shang still leads the team to get off to a good start on the road.

However, in the 88th minute of the game, Vincent stood up again, and the reason why he was so uncalm was that Helsingborg scored. After 90 minutes of continuous high balls, the Helsingborg centre-forward finally got the hang of it, and the two men caught Gamarra one after the other, and the centre-forward headed home from behind.

The score on the field was rewritten to 2:1, but Helsingborg did not score again in the next four or five minutes, because Vincent directly transferred Hakansuk back to defend the header, and with this bouncing dominance, several center forwards who relied on their bodies to eat never grabbed the header again.

In the end, Inter Milan took a difficult victory from the Olympic Stadium in Helsingborg, which was also a good start for Vincent to coach Inter Milan, although there were some small twists and turns during the period, but the final score was still good.

Vincent returned to Italy with a victory, but Helsingborg was not strong enough, while AC Milan, who also played in the third round of qualifying, beat Croatian powerhouse Dinamo Zagreb 3-1 at home.

In contrast, Inter Milan's victory was somewhat insufficient, and the "Milan Sport" newspaper still mainly reported on AC Milan, and Inter Milan was almost brushed aside.

However, Inter Milan is still very satisfied internally, after all, the two major strikers are lying in hospital beds, if it weren't for the introduction of veteran Chiesa in the summer, it may not be possible to win Helsingborg.

After this game, Inter Milan ushered in good news, the return of loaned youngster Ventola to the team, which is a good addition to the current lack of young generals, after all, he played amazingly last year when Ronaldo was absent.

With two weeks to go until the next home game, Vincent gave the players three days off to go home and rest, and then there was no other rest.

After waiting for the end of three days, Inter Milan directly started the training camp with the competition, and within 10 days against three amateur teams, although the players' physical fitness has declined somewhat, but the state and squad chemistry have been significantly improved.

On the day before the game, Fan Shang asked the team doctor to give each player a relaxing massage, which made the team doctor tired, but the effect was really good, and the physical fitness was improved.

This home game is the first time Vincent has stepped into the stadium as the home team, which is where Inter Milan fans call Meazza and AC Milan fans call San Siro.

The line-up for this game was a change from the previous game, first of all, the central defenders used a combination of Materazzi and Blanco, and the midfielders also used Emerson's single midfield, and the forward line used Hakansok and Chiesa's partner. This is basically the configuration when the opponent broke the goal in the last game.

In this game, Vincent finally understood that the Swedes did not rely on their strikers, but their tactics were crosses, but their crosses were greatly reduced by Inter Milan's two world-class full-backs.

Therefore, this game was definitely smooth for Inter Milan, with Chiesa and Hakansuk scoring a goal each in the first half to lead Helsingborg 2:0.

In the second half, after the two teams continued to deploy troops, Inter Milan scored two more goals, both of which were scored by substitute players, Ventola did not live up to Fan Shang's expectations, and came on the bench for 5 minutes to find an opportunity to sweep the goal, and the last goal was more exciting, Recoba, who scored directly from a free kick in the last game, did not let the opportunity slip away from his feet in this game, and the direct free kick on the right side made the goalkeeper have no temper at all.

Inter Milan beat visiting Helsingborg 4-0 at home, and the final two-legged aggregate score was 6-1, and Inter Milan won to advance.

What has been most gratifying for Vincent in these two games is that all the forces at his disposal in the front line are now scored, with Hakansuk, Chiesa, Ventola and Recoba. This also shows that without the two major strikers, Inter Milan can still score.

There are two weeks before the next game, but this time Vincent did not give the players a holiday, because the next game is still more important, it is the first championship after Vincent came to Italy, that is, the Italian Super Cup.

Inter Milan's opponent is Lazio, the double champion of the league and the Coppa Italia last season, and Inter Milan can participate by relying on their status as runners-up in the Coppa Italia, although it is not very glorious, but after all, there is still a chance to fight for the championship.

Before this game, there will be a group draw ceremony for the top 32 group stage of the Champions League, of course Fan Shang can't miss this grand event, after all, Fan Shang, who has been the head coach of the national team for the past two years, is not eligible to participate in this.

Due to the large number of teams, the draw was not held at UEFA's headquarters, but was held in Milan, the venue of the final, and Vincent did not have to travel long distances to participate.

As a host, Fan Shang still has to entertain some people, such as Bordeaux's Rohr and his party, these people have long paid attention to Fan Shang when they knew that the draw was held in Milan, and Fan Shang didn't know how many would come back in the end, but anyway, Fan Shang must have to cover all the food, accommodation and travel.

Although Rohr is now the head coach of Bordeaux, in fact, many reinforcements and arrangements still have to come to ask Vincent.
