Chapter 354: Getting Better

In order to retain his strength against Roma, De Boer rested his main team in the Europa League, which led to an undeserved defeat; And when he played Roma away on 2 October, he couldn't please either. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Dzeko opened the scoring for Roma before Shi Hao's dribbling in the box at the end of the first half caused a foul on Rudiger and Mauro Icardi equalised for Inter. In the second half, De Boer replaced Banega, and in the 70th minute, Banega went straight in front of the penalty area, and Shi Hao inserted a strong push into the far corner on the left side of the penalty area. However, minutes into the lead, Manolas headed home the equaliser for Roma from a free-kick opportunity.

In the end, the Nerazzurri only took home a draw from the Stadio Olimpic. Inter Milan fans were furious. But on the following national team day, Chinese fans enjoyed the joy of victory again. On October 6, the Chinese team defeated Syria 2-0 in Xi'an; On October 11, the Chinese team went to Tashkent, and the Chinese team drew 1:1 with Uzbekistan away, and still dominated the group in the standings.

Shi Hao continued his good form at Inter Milan, scoring one goal in each of his two games.

Chinese media have said that with such Shi Hao, it is definitely not a problem to enter the top 32 of the World Cup. Fans are already looking forward to the second appearance of the Chinese team in the World Cup, and even go further.

On 16 October, Inter Milan hosted Cagliari. In the previous 7 games, Inter Milan ranked seventh with 13 points with 3 wins and 4 draws, which is absolutely not satisfactory to the neras who shouted the slogan of winning the championship, and it is also impossible to satisfy the Suning Group, which has invested a lot of money.

Rumor has it that if this match is lost, De Boer will be fired. As a result, in the 88th minute of the game, the away team still led 2:1. In the 89th minute, Inter Milan got a free kick opportunity 36 meters away from the goal, and Shi Hao blasted away Cagliari's goal with a powerful free kick. After the game, the media commented that Shi Hao was simply De Boer's life-saving little prince......

On 20 October, Inter Milan claimed their first Europa League victory, with two long-range strikes from Shi Hao and Brozovic giving them a 2-0 win over Southampton at the Meazza Stadium.

On October 23, Inter Milan suffered their first league defeat, and Shi Hao did not play in this game - he had a cold and fever. This is a disease that cannot be cured by the system...... In the end, the pseudo-Nerazzurri who played away lost 1-2 to the true Nerazzurri Atalanta.

On October 27, the comeback Shi Hao scored twice to help Inter defeat Torino 3:1 at home; However, four days later, although Shi Hao staged a good show of scoring after four people in a row, Inter Milan who were away was still forced to draw 1:1 by Sampdoria.

The ups and downs of the results made the fans lose patience and the players were unhappy with De Boer. The leak happened to rain overnight, and the team had a series of problems, first Icardi quarreled with extreme fans, and then Brozovic went to the dance hall to drink and was exposed by the media.

For a time, the entire team from De Boer to Handanovic, who was in declining form, was criticized for being indecent.

Only Shi Hao has not been hacked, he scored 10 goals and assisted 6 goals in 11 official games, and there is really no reason to be hacked.

At this time, Zhang Jindong's eldest son, Zhang Keyang, flew to Milan, nominally to drum up for the team, but in fact to supervise the battle. He and Shi Hao had met and goared well before, and this time he invited Shi Hao to the hotel and asked Shi Hao in private: "What do you think of De Boer?" ”

Shi Hao actually recognized Debor's level. De Boer was heavily influenced by Cruyff and Louis van Gaal, and his coaching was based on a holistic approach to attack, giving the attacking combination a unique amount of freedom to play with, highlighting the team's discipline and ensuring that the individual talents of the players were not squandered. On the defensive end, they either use high pressure or midfield strangulation, giving full play to the Dutch 4-3-3 tactical changeable and strict space requirements for positioning.

However, this tactic requires the player's super ball quotient and spatial positional sense based on the transformation of the pass and control football, but also the player's understanding of his tactics and abundant physical fitness.

And this is exactly what Inter Milan does not have now, he is rushing to coach on the shelf, how can the players understand his tactics in such a short period of time? And in terms of physical reserves, Inter Milan did not do enough, Joo Mario, Brozovic, Perisic, Candreva and other players who participated in the European Championship all showed physical exhaustion in the game and could not carry out pressing tactics.

If it weren't for the flash of inspiration of Shi Hao and Icardi, Inter would have lost many points.

De Boer wants the midfield trio to be constantly changing, finding space to pass the ball and then handing the ball to the winger as much as possible, who then scores through a cross after a personal break. This tactic is De Boer's most commonly used offensive mode, which seems simple but not only has the ability to run and change positions required by passing and controlling football, but also can effectively play the individual ability of the winger and the ability of the center to grab points.

The tactics sound good, but of course demanding, with the players' ability to read the game, the coordination and consistency of the changes between each other, and the need for the wingers to have outstanding individual qualities. Shi Hao believes that this tactic should be suitable for the current characteristics of Inter players, as long as they can stick to it, they should be able to gain something.

When Shi Hao said his opinion, Zhang Keyang listened carefully and kept nodding.

On 4 November, Inter Milan played Southampton away. After falling behind 1:2, Shi Hao stepped up and scored twice in five minutes, saving De Boer from the brink of dismissal again, and also allowing the team to get the second victory in the Europa League, and qualifying no longer seemed out of reach.

The game also became a turning point for Inter Milan this season.

In the following games, Inter Milan gradually adapted to De Boer's coaching ideas, and became more and more courageous in all competitions.

By the time of the winter break, they had won six and drawn one of their seven league games, notably beating derby rivals AC Milan 3-2 away and drawing three times away at Napoli, before a 4-0 sweep of Lazio to sum up the first half of the season.

After 18 rounds, Inter Milan has 10 wins, 7 draws and 1 loss, accumulating 37 points, and finally entered the Champions League zone, 5 points behind the first place Juventus and 3 points ahead of the third place Lazio. Further up are Roma on 33 points and Napoli on 32 points.

In the Europa League, Inter Milan finally survived, drawing 3:3 with Bechapoel away, defeating Sparta Prague 4:1 at home, 3 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses with 10 points, ranking second in the group after Sparta Prague with 4 wins and 2 losses.
