After the national derby against Juventus, the atmosphere in Inter Milan's squad suddenly relaxed a lot. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Because with the arrival of December, it also marks the approach of Christmas and winter break.

After nearly half a year of intense fixtures, it's clear that the players want to relax.

The winter break is a bit new to Chen Xi, because the Premier League he played in the previous two seasons did not have a winter break. Even, the Christmas period is the time when the Premier League schedule is the tightest!

Suddenly there was such a holiday, but Chen Xi didn't know how to arrange it.

In addition to the approaching holiday, the relatively relaxed schedule is also what makes the players feel relaxed.

They have a total of four games to play before the winter break, three of them in the league and one in the Champions League.

Messina, Siena and Brescia are up against Messina, Siena and Brescia, all three of whom are mediocre, two of which are at home to Inter Milan, and they obviously don't think they can stop them from continuing to win!

As for the Champions League, Inter Milan's last match was against Anderlecht.

As the weakest team in this group, Anderlecht has been eliminated from the group early, while Inter Milan has locked up the top of the group in advance, so there doesn't seem to be much suspense in this game!

As a result, during this time, on the team's training ground, the players rarely discussed the next games, but many people were discussing how to spend the holidays.

Mourinho has also noticed the problem and, for this reason, he has also warned the players in several tactical lessons not to take it lightly. And also came up with a lot of examples of strong teams capsizing in the gutter to remind everyone.

For Mourinho's reminder, Chen Xi and his teammates also patiently absorbed.

In fact, Mourinho's worries are a bit unnecessary, because most of the Inter Milan team are experienced players, and even young people like Chen Xi and Adriano have gone through several seasons of tempering, and they have been tempered by major tournaments.

These two are the top scorers for this summer's European Championship and Copa America respectively.

Therefore, everyone will not be carried away by the previous victory!

Soon, the players proved it to Jose Mourinho in the 14th round of the league at home to promoted Messina!

In this game, Chen Xi and Adriano scored twice, Vieri also scored a goal, and the excellent form of the "three fierce male combinations" also helped Inter Milan sweep Messina with a score of 5-0, expanding the number of consecutive league wins to 14 rounds!

After the game, the Italian media also used adjectives such as "crazy", "unstoppable", "overwhelming" and so on to express their surprise at the state of the Inter Milan team!

Even the mouthpiece of the AC Milan team, "Milan News Network", and the mouthpiece of the Juventus team, "La Presse", have to admit that the performance of the Inter Milan team in the first half of the season is definitely the strongest in the history of Serie A!

"Torino Sports Newspaper" also helplessly said that if Juventus wants to close the points gap between Inter Milan, I am afraid it can only wait until the second half of the season.

Of course, in the face of praise from the outside world, there will also be some media outlets that have expressed concern about the Inter Milan team.

Their reasoning is that there are many examples of European leagues that have won the first half of the season, but after a winter break, they have lost a lot of money in the second half of the season!

It is true that the winter break has its advantages for the team, but it also has certain disadvantages.

The advantage is naturally that it can give the players who have been busy for half a season a good rest, but the disadvantage is that this half a month of vacation may make the team's excellent form in the first half of the season disappear!

Inter Milan have not won a domestic title for 15 years, but they have won the half-game on several occasions. However, the end result was without exception to lose the championship!

This is also an important reason why some media are pessimistic about Inter Milan!

For the voice of the outside world, the mentality of the Inter Milan team is very good.

Chen Xi and his teammates can do most of it, and the praise and criticism of the outside world are automatically filtered or even blocked.

Of course, it also has a lot to do with the fact that they have a coach like Jose Mourinho.

When there is a lot of praise from the outside world, Mourinho will cool the players in the dressing room at the right time to make them not too fluttery.

And when the outside world criticized the Inter Milan team, Mourinho was able to stand up and carry the criticism of the outside world alone, so as to protect the players from being disturbed by the outside world!

With such a coach who protects the calves, the pressure on the players will be much less!

After playing Messina, Inter Milan ushered in the last group stage of the Champions League!

The match was still played at Inter Milan's home stadium, which also avoided the fatigue of Inter Milan's long flight.

For this inconsequential game, Mourinho also boldly rehearsed a new formation.

Vieri and Adriano in the front, Stankovic in the midfield, Materazzi in the backline, Carvalho, Zambrotta and others have been given the opportunity to rest.

It can be said that the squad that appeared in this Champions League group stage is almost a completely different set compared to the previous league!

Among them, the goalkeeper position is the pursuit of stability, Mourinho is not rotated, and the captain Zanetti is a well-known iron man in world football, he does not need and does not want to be rotated.

And Chen Xi is because he is the most indispensable chess piece in Mourinho's formation, whether it is a conventional formation or some of his new formations, Chen Xi is the absolute main force and core!

As a result, Chen Xi was forced to become the new iron man of the Inter Milan team.

This season, except for one Italian Cup, Chen Xi played as a starter.

Of course, Mourinho may also be helping Chen Xi continue a crazy record.

That's the record of consecutive appearances and goals in the league and Champions League!

Yes, Chen Xi has not only scored 21 goals in 14 rounds of league games, but in the Champions League, plus qualifying, he has also scored nine goals in seven games, and these goals have been continuous.

In short, as long as Chen Xi didn't take the initiative to rest. And the physical examination of the team, if Chen Xi has no problems, Mourinho will not take him off the starting lineup!

…… Despite being a match that had nothing to do with the final group standings, Meazza was still nearly 90% attendance today.

This has not been the case in previous seasons. You know, a lot of times, the attendance of some strong conversations is just that.

But this season, the crazy performance of the Inter Milan team has already inspired the fans!

In the past, Inter Milan fans came to watch the game at home, and they may have to worry about whether the team's performance will cause them to block. After all, watching a ball on the weekend is just hoping to relax the tense emotions at work. Who wants to see a team lose at home?

This season has been different, with Inter Milan winning all competitions this season.

What's more, in almost every game, Inter Milan will contribute several wonderful goals, and in addition to the victory, the game itself is also very passionate. It's not the same ugly 1-0 idea in Serie A!

Don't you see that the Little Pepper Lecce team is all hot? Isn't it because of their wonderful offensive?

In this match with Anderlecht, Chen Xi and his teammates did not disappoint the fans who bought tickets to enter the stadium!

Even though almost half of the main lineup was rotated, the Inter Milan team still showed unparalleled attack power on the field!

At the end of the first half, 45 minutes into the game, a big 3-0 was displayed on the big screen of Meazza, and as is customary, the home team is in front!

Below the score are the players who scored the game, with the name Edisonchen appearing twice, followed by the numbers 24 and 38 respectively.

This marks that Chen Xi has completed a brace in the first half!

For Chen Xi's excellent form, whether it is the fans in the stands or Mourinho on the sidelines, they feel very happy.

However, after the start of the second half, Mourinho still replaced Chen Xi.

For one, many of the team's substitutes have expressed dissatisfaction this season because of their lack of playing time. Second, Mourinho is also worried that Chen Xi will be injured in the next half of the game, which is completely unnecessary.

Chen Xi is now the treasure of the Inter Milan team!

Even the proud Mourinho had to admit it!

In the end, in the second half, Inter Milan and Anderlecht scored one goal each, and the score was finally locked at 4-1!

Perhaps the only thing Mourinho was not satisfied with in this game was the backline, which consisted of a few substitute defenders.

Especially the newcomer Burdisso, it was his inexplicable mistake that gave the Anderlecht team a goal!

This also made Mourinho consider whether it was time to continue to find a quality defender in the winter transfer market.

Considering Materazzi's fiery temper and his frequent card habits, in the second half of the season, Mourinho knew that he simply could not rely on the combination of Materazzi and Carvalho.

In the unlikely event that the defensive duo is broken up in a crucial game, some of the other defenders will not be able to reassure him!

Of course, there is another important reason why Mourinho is ready to continue to strengthen the backline, and that is that the team does not have a tall centre-back other than Materazzi.

Burdisso, Mihajlovic, Córdoba, Gamarra and even Carvalho are not particularly tall and will suffer if they come across a team with a high striker and Materazzi is out!
