Chapter 115: The Catastrophe of the Wealthy Family (Two Watches)

The first leg of the Champions League 1/8 finals lost to Dortmund away, Ranieri, who swallowed the bitter fruit of four consecutive defeats, took another step towards the next class, and the tinkerer who tried to change the formation of 4411 did not have the expected effect, and the long-lost Salat and the in-form Sneijder failed to live up to his trust.

From 4312 against Bologna to 4411 against Borussia Dortmund, Ranieri's intention is clearly to defend well away from home, tighten the fence while seizing the opportunity to threaten the opposition on the counter-attack, and if he fails to find a good chance to score, at least he can draw with Dortmund, who have been in a strong momentum recently, at the Idona Park Stadium, to stop the previous three-game losing streak in the league, and lay a good foundation for the second leg in the middle of next month.

Throughout the game, the Nerazzurri did effectively implement the tactical arrangement of the coach, although they were at an absolute disadvantage in terms of field and statistics, the home team's offensive was thunderous and rainy most of the time, and did not pose a real threat to the Brazilian international Cesar.

On the contrary, Inter took advantage of the counter-attacking opportunities on many occasions, but Forlan, Zarate, Cambiasso and Stankovic all missed the goal, and the performance of German substitute Weidenfeller was indeed commendable. It was only because of a foul by Lucio that he gave Dortmund a penalty opportunity, and the luck of Ranieri and Inter can be said to be extremely bad.

In the second half, Ranieri did not decisively send the team's top scorer Milito, although the Argentine prince has been preparing on the sidelines, but did not hear the manager's call in the end.

Ranieri later explained that Milito's physical condition was not 100%. Milito and Pazzini both missed the game, which also made Inter Milan always lack of scoring skills, unable to change the fate of 4 consecutive games without scoring.

According to Sky Sports, Inter president Moratti and his son Angelo Mario have been watching from the stands at Idona Park Stadium in this game, and Figo, who has always been the team's ambassador, has even appeared in the Nerazzurri's coaching box.

If Moratti decides to remove Ranieri from the manager's position, Figoga and Baresi will take over the role of interim manager from Inter.

The current Serie A has long been thrown away by the Bundesliga, and if it is said to regain the 3rd position, I am afraid that the 4th position may be occupied by the French Ligue 1.

In fact, in the past two years, Inter Milan has defended the dignity of Serie A in the Champions League, and in 2010, they beat Chelsea, CSKA, Barcelona, Bayern, and returned to the top of Europe after 45 years.

In 2011, even though they were humiliated by Schalke 04 in the round of 8, the miraculous reversal of Bayern was unforgettable, and they also became the only seed of Serie A in the top 8 of the Champions League.

It can be said that Inter has been scoring points in Serie A and sticking to the 4th position.

But now, with AC Milan and Napoli already on their shoulders in the form of a revival of Serie A, it is a great irony that Inter have gone from being defenders of dignity to being retreaters.

In terms of signings, Inter Milan can be said to be the best among the top three in Serie A, AC Milan met Arsenal, Napoli met Chelsea, and only Inter Milan drew Dortmund, which is not a top giant.

Milan and Napoli are both home and away, but Inter Milan has the advantage of the schedule, first away and then home.

However, it was a bit of a surprise that Milan and Napoli completed spectacular battles at the San Siro and Sao Paulo respectively.

Milan slaughtered the visiting Arsenal with 4 goals, avenging the elimination of the opponent that year, and Napoli was even more surprising, 3-1 bloodless Chelsea won Chelsea, in the "Serie Spanish War" for Serie A to grow a bad breath, but also let people see the terrible power of the new star from Serie A.

As a result, everyone is looking forward to Inter Milan winning Dortmund tonight and helping Serie A announce a strong recovery in a near-perfect posture.

Inter had a similar experience at the start of the season, when Juventus coach Gasperini was at the helm of the Nerazzurri.

Inter Milan were first reversed by Milan in the Italian Super Cup held in Beijing, losing their first title of the season 1-2; The first match of the league was at the Estadio Renzo Barbera, who was beaten 4-3 by Palermo after leading twice;

Next, the Nerazzurri made their Champions League debut at home, and were stolen from Meazza by Champions League newcomers Trabzonspora;

The draw with Roma and the 1-3 defeat at Novara extended Gasperini's coaching record to 1 draw and 4 defeats, and the local coach also lost his position.

From 25 January to 22 February 2012, the Nerazzurri, under Claudio Ranieri, rewrote the season's humiliating record, extending the previous winless streak, losing streak and goalless streak to seven, four and four games.

Since being eliminated by Napoli in the quarterfinals of the Italian Cup, Inter Milan seems to have lost its soul, and it is completely impossible to find the courage of the previous eight consecutive wins in Serie A and the Italian Cup, and it is difficult to extricate itself from the bottomless quagmire.

After their Coppa Italia title defence was dashed, Inter were supposed to regroup in the league and continue their hopes of winning the title rekindled by the previous winning streak, but what awaited Ranieri and the Nerazzurri was a nightmare of one draw and four defeats.

The team only showed some spirit at home to Palermo, while the other four were relegation teams, losing to the likes of Lecce, Novara, and Bologna, and the Stadio Olimpico in Rome were bloodied by the Red Wolves by four goals.

Also sad is Bayern, Bayern played Switzerland, the goal conceded occurred in the 86th minute, Basel's Zoua sent a precise through ball into the penalty area, and the unmarked Stoker calmly volleyed the goal, 1-0, the Swiss team beat Bayern at home, and Bayern's goal drought has reached 240 minutes after this campaign.

And a day earlier, Real Madrid had made an expedition to Moscow. Despite Jose Mourinho's side's impressive form in the league, they were also beaten in the Champions League, but it was only Real Madrid who scored first to avoid a stunner.

CSKA's Wemblem scored in the 92nd minute to turn Real Madrid's victory into a draw, but such a result will not have much impact on Real Madrid's promotion.

Inter, Bayern, Real Madrid three games, a total of 4 goals, 2 of which are whistle balls, plus Napoli 3-1 humiliation of Chelsea, it can be said that this week's Champions League knockout round, all accidents, the giants generally suffered.
