Chapter Seventy-Six: Serie A Oscar List
After two league games, Juventus had the last laugh in the top three of the new season, beating Chievo 3-2 to continue to lead the Serie A rankings.
Although Inter Milan also won three in a row, the number of goal difference was less than two of Juventus's, and it had to be relegated to second place.
Perhaps because of Moratti's opening, the Italian newspaper did not ban the Inter Milan team this time.
The media praised the water city Venice for its defeat and the 1-1 score until the last moment, saying that the Inter Milan team had so much strength but narrowly defeated Venice.
Seeing that the leader Juventus is aggressive and strong, and the mainstream media reports are still not on the side of Inter Milan, and even justice and fairness have not been achieved, Yin Yang couldn't help but smile bitterly, and said in his heart: "People are difficult to dismantle!" ”
At the same time as the third round of the report was released, the Serie A media revealed a list of nominees for the "Serie A Oscar" for the 00/01 season.
A total of 21 nominees will compete for seven awards, including Best Local Player, Best Foreign Player, Best Player, Best Young Player, Best Goalkeeper, Best Defender and Best Coach.
But Yin Yang carefully read the Oscar list, in the best local player, best foreign aid, best player, best young player, best goalkeeper and best coach and other nominations, last season's sixth-ranked Inter Milan team, none of the players failed to make the list.
Toldo, the best goalkeeper, is on the list, but unfortunately he was a Fiorentina player last season......
It's not that Yin Yang is questioning the fairness of this list, but this list lets people know that the status and strength of the Inter Milan team and players in the hearts of Italian fans do not match.
Just as Yin Yang was about to turn over the page of the newspaper, his heart suddenly moved.
Calling the staff at the Pinettina training base, Yin Yang asked them to enlarge the list of nominees and paste them in a prominent position on the wall of the dressing room, compared to a blank list of nominations for the "Serie A Oscar" in the 01/02 season.
Players returning from vacation enter the dressing room at the Pinettina base and the first thing they see is the list of nominees. In fact, someone has already seen it in the newspapers, and that is just a sweep.
But now when I see this list of the "Oscars of Serie A" for the 00/01 season, it feels so glaring and unbalanced.
Di Biagio scolded: "What is this, it is an eyesore here!" ”
Captain Zanetti smiled: "There is a blank space here, or let's write our names now." ”
"Who gave me a pen, I wrote KING on it, do you think it?" Ronaldo asked.
The players in the locker room hehe, hehe, haha, laughed constantly, but no one wanted to do Ronaldo this favor. In fact, Pirlo said he had a pen in his duffel bag, but Ronaldo didn't do that.
At the beginning of the team's daily training, the players' enthusiasm for training was much higher, after all, who doesn't have a little vanity?
On September 20th, the UEFA Cup finally kicked off, and the Inter Milan team appeared at the Proestinou Stadium in Brasov, Romania.
Perhaps it was the list of nominees for the 'Serie A Oscar' in the 00/01 season that stimulated the Inter players, or perhaps it was the blank list in the 00/02 season that tempted them......
In the fifteenth minute of the first half, Di Biagio's long-range shot scored the first goal.
At this time, this Europa League match is completely in the attacking rhythm of the Inter Milan team.
Then, Recoba, who played in this game, vented all his frustration of not being able to play for a while in Serie A because of passport problems on Brasov's head.
Recoba's brace completely made the game meaningless.
The final score of the match was 0-4, with the home team in front and the away team in the back. Inter Milan won the first leg of the first round of the Europa League.
After the game, Yin Yang smiled and said to Ronaldo: "I said, this kind of game is not as good as the team training match!" ”
If the opponent or the media hears it, they will definitely give Yin Yang a good look, but fortunately, Ronaldo recognizes Yin Yang's words, but Yin Yang has to postpone Ronaldo's playing time, and Ronaldo really doesn't want to.
Fortunately, with three consecutive wins in Serie A and the first round of the Europa League, Yin Yang did not believe that Brasov would score nearly five goals at Inter Milan's home stadium, and let the Inter Milan team not score a goal.
The next day, the Inter Milan team flew back to Milan, only to be shocked to learn that Lazio's head coach Zoff had left class.
In the Champions Cup match held at Lazio's home stadium, the Nantes team from Ligue 1, playing away, defeated Lazio with a score of 1-3.
As a strong team in Italy, the score is simply humiliating.
After the game, the Lazio club hierarchy couldn't take it anymore and Cragnotti decided to sack Zoff.
The coach who took over the "mess" left by Zoff is now at home, former AC Milan coach Zaccheroni.
At Zaccheroni's press conference on his new appointment to Lazio, some reporters jokingly said that the coach of the Serie A giants is now on pins and needles.
There is a reason why journalists say this.
Last season, the storm of Serie A manager changes began in the first round, and the first to bear the brunt was Inter Milla's head coach Lippi.
At the end of the 00/01 season, the top three in northern Italy all sacked their head coach.
This season is no exception, and the managers of Roma, Lazio and Parma have also heard the dismissal early, but the Serie A club Lazio has already sold the first step!
Now that media reporters have begun to complain that Capello, who has a poor record, will be replaced by Carlo Ancelotti, Yin Yang almost burst into laughter. Not to mention that Old Sensi will not be so confused, but at this time, Ancelotti's reputation is not as good as Cooper, and he is synonymous with the second in ten thousand years, and Old Sensi will take a fancy to him?
However, in Italy, in fact, it is the same in every country, and it is true that most teams are a high-risk profession. This also confirms that when Yin Yang first arrived at the Inter Milan team, there were basically no players or assistant coaches who were ready to hug his thighs.
The mud bodhisattva crossing the river is difficult to protect itself. It is not easy for a manager to rely on the prestige he has built up and control the team.
Fortunately, Yin Yang finally chose to seek the support of the team, rather than choosing simple and crude deterrence.
At present, the Inter Milan team is not monolithic, but Yin Yang still has control over the team.
Ronaldo was fooled by Yin Yang until the fourth round before he began to make a comeback.
In fact, this is not Yin Yang fooling Ronaldo, the last time Ronaldo played 35 minutes in the Italian competition, and even the Inter Milan club set up a Ronaldo day, but as a result, at the beginning of the Serie A league, the fans forgot about Ronaldo again.
Especially now, with the Italian media belittling the Inter team, the star halo effect is even worse if Ronaldo pays.
Football is more than just competition for Yin Yang!
