Chapter 512: Chieftain's Cup
The level of gossip in the Italian media is not inferior to that in England, and although the lacy tabloids are not so widespread, this does not affect the spread of public opinion in any way.
Jamie Vardy has just arrived in Italy and started a new relationship, can he still have the heart to play football?
Look at Adriano, from the king of Inter Milan to now he can't even kick the ball, such a rut in the past makes Inter fans extremely worried about Vardy.
After all, Vardy is still young, and if he really can't control himself, then the future is really difficult to say.
Fans of other rival teams began to laugh at Inter, who had spent 100 million euros in vain, and Inter might just buy another Adriano, and an even more expensive Adriano.
In England, Vardy is already accustomed to the media's bottomlessness, and now in Italy, Vardy doesn't feel uncomfortable at all, just don't care.
On the contrary, Elena was rather embarrassed and called several times to ask Vardy if she needed to clarify herself.
In fact, it really doesn't matter, which star doesn't have a star model, which means that he has more influence, so the media grabbed it, in essence, Vardy is no different from other players.
Inter's physical training was finally over, and the technical and tactical training began, because of the arrival of Vardy, Mancini had to design a suitable tactical system for the team.
Referring to Ferguson's use of Vardy, Mancini also gave Vardy more freedom, he can pull to the wing to break through the cross or cut inside, he can also ambush behind Ibrahimovic as a shadow killer, and he can charge at the front, even if Vardyra comes back to advance with the ball, as long as it is reasonable, Mancini will not blame him.
The biggest benefit of this is not only to free up Jamie Vardy's attacking power, but also to not need to make too many changes to the team's midfield, as long as the overall structure of last season continues.
Stankovic and Figo rotate left midfield, Cambiaso and Vieira partner in the back, considering Vieira's form is not enough to last a season, the veteran Dacourt will also be ready to add to this position, as for the right midfield, Zanetti is the starter, Solari can rotate.
As with last season, Inter's midfield is facing an ageing age structure, but given the less stressful league schedule, it's not too much of a problem.
On July 24, Inter Milan defeated Partizan Belgrade by three goals in a warm-up match, and Vardy, who started the game, received an assist from Ibrahimovic to help the team open the scoring, and a few minutes later, Vardy reciprocated for Ibrahimovic's assist, and Inter's forward partner showed a good tacit understanding and adaptability.
Of course, it is not necessarily possible to say how well Inter played, the players who have just undergone physical training are generally not in shape, and even Vardy is not at his best, which needs to be gradually recovered and improved through continuous play.
After this warm-up match, Inter Milan flew to London, England, to compete in the Emirates Cup.
The Emirates Cup is a competition launched by Arsenal to expand the reputation of the new stadium, and it is the first to be held this year.
In addition to inviting Inter Milan, La Liga's strong team Valencia and Ligue 1 Paris Saint-Germain are also invited, which is also full of gold.
This is Vardy's first return to England after leaving Manchester United, in the past, at Arsenal's home stadium, Vardy could only receive boos, but now it is different, Inter and Arsenal have no direct competition, and Vardy is still the top name of the England national team, so Vardy actually received a lot of applause.
This feels so weird!
Vardy was very uncomfortable.
Because the game was rich enough, Mancini also attached great importance to it, but sent all the main forces in the first match with Valencia.
Speaking of which, Valencia's squad is not bad at all.
This is why Vardy has become a player after being reborn, and if he is a coach after being reborn, he must be very willing to coach Valencia.
Valencia may have more Spanish internationals in their squad than Real Madrid and Barcelona combined, and with a number of fierce players, the quality should not be underestimated.
Valencia reached the last four of the Champions League last season and qualified for the Champions League in the new season.
The Bat Legion is also playing its main strength, the two teams are playing very openly, anyway, the technical and tactical training has just begun, instead of practicing tactics, it is better to use fierce games to stimulate the players to recover as soon as possible.
In the 15th minute of the first half, Villa scored the Inter goal with a shot from the left side of the penalty area, and the gap between McCone and Materazzi was exploited by Huluwa.
Villa Region!
In fact, Villa's chances of scoring in this position are quite high, otherwise they would not have been given that title.
Vardy also has zones, but his zone can only be used defensively.
However, Jamie Vardy's goal rate is probably higher than that of Villa, which he has developed by himself to imitate the old man, and of course, he is now more professional than the old man.
Within minutes of Valencia's lead, Vardy returned one in the same way, more fluid and more difficult.
A one-two with Figo on the left flank saw Vardy swoop down the ribs and the croquettes dodge Miguel and Marchena's bag before taking a wide arc from the same position and sending the ball straight into the net.
In the 27th minute of the first half, Jamie Vardy turned the lead around with a well-placed free-kick past Valencia.
Speaking of Inter Milan, there are also free kick masters in the team, Adriano will not mention it, he can't kick the ball, no matter how fierce the free kick is, whether it is Ibrahimovic or Stankovic, he has a good free kick skill.
It's just that now that Vardy is here, there is no dispute.
No matter how good their free kicks are, they are not as good as Vardy, and the strongest free kick in world football is currently recognized as Vardy, and there is no one.
It is said that when everyone scores goals to compete for the Golden Boot, they all use penalties to brush, but Vardy, a strange man, never kicks penalties, and directly kicks free kicks as penalties.
At the end of the season, if Vardy doesn't score 10 direct free-kicks in all competitions, it can only show one problem, this is arrogant.
At the end of the first half, it was Vardy again, who retreated to receive the ball, and directly instigated a beautiful attack, and finally it was his scalpel-like through ball that was sent to the feet of Ibrahimovic, and Feng first raised the Fang Tian painting halberd and directly stabbed the gate of Valencia's camp.
The game was destined to be a goal-scoring battle that didn't matter about defense, and at the start of the second half, Joaquín set up a cross from the side to set up a Nikic goal to break through the Inter goal, and Valencia was chasing the score.
However, as soon as Valencia got up, it was doused by Vardy when he turned around and soaked in urine, turning into a wisp of green smoke and dissipating into the air.
Taking advantage of the savage rush to complete the steal in midfield, Vardy sprinted all the way to the top of the Valencia penalty area, dodged a shot angle and fired a burst of shots, and the ball blasted through Valencia's goal without suspense.
It was Jamie Vardy's first hat-trick at Inter Milan and although it was just a warm-up game, it was still very memorable.
However, Mancini did not give Vardy more time to play, and in the 65th minute of the second half, Mancini made six changes at the same time, including Vardy.
Well, that's right, the rules of the Emirates Cup are that you can change six players per game.
In the end, Inter Milan won 5-3 against Valencia, and the two teams teamed up to give the fans a wonderful game.
The format of the Emirates Cup is bizarre, with four teams playing two rounds of matches and a league point system, with three points for wins and one point for draws, but one more point for each goal scored.
After one game, Inter Milan has accumulated eight points, while Valencia, who lost, also has three points.
With only two days to play, Inter Milan will face Arsenal at home the next day.
Mancini made a big rotation due to fitness concerns, with key players such as Jamie Vardy and Ibrahimovic sitting on the bench.
Looking at this Arsenal team that is seriously lacking in star flavor, Vardy is really a little excited.
The Arsenal that competed with Manchester United for the league title has disappeared, and the current Arsenal youth army really does not have even the slightest title competitiveness.
The departure of the team's leading scorer Thierry Henry has left Arsenal with only Xiaofa, a world-class star, if it weren't for Arsene Wenger's mature tactical system, I'm afraid Arsenal wouldn't even have to hope for Champions League qualification.
Selling the captain every year, and when he repents, he finds that he no longer has the attraction for superstars, which is the sadness of Arsenal in the future.
However, Arsenal played well in this game, and the young Gunners used tireless impact to make Inter Milan, who had not yet found much form, a little overwhelmed, and at the end of the first half, the score was 2:1, and Arsenal took the lead.
At the beginning of the second half, Mancini changed his cards, and the main players such as Vardy and Ibrahimovic all came on to fight in the second half.
Sure enough, Inter's overall strength is stronger than Arsenal's, which can be seen from the second half of the game, Inter Milan is very experienced in controlling the game.
Ibrahimovic equalised with a header shortly after the break, and a Dardy strike just minutes later gave Inter a comeback ahead of Arsenal.
The moment Inter's main team came into play, the outcome was already doomed, and Arsenal still couldn't stop their advance.
In the end, Inter won the game and at the same time, won the Emirates Cup with two wins.
Of course, there is no prize money for the Chieftain Cup winner, but the trophy shape is quite chic, well, a lot like a urine bucket with wings.
Won the Emirates Cup, although Inter did not show much good form, but still let countless people optimistic about Inter's new season, from the warm-up game, Inter has shown a champion temperament, unscrupulously showing their fangs in European football.
