TIM Cup is a traditional Serie A event, TIM Cup is a summer warm-up match between the traditional three top three of Serie A held by Tim Telecom, usually after the start of the summer training camp, the first real warm-up of the three teams, the game is divided into three quarters, each quarter is 45 minutes, the three teams fight against each other, each time they play for 45 minutes, and finally the results of the three games are ranked.

The cup began in 2001 and has been the ninth edition, in the first eight competitions, the first Milan won the championship, the second, third, fourth and fifth Inter Milan won four consecutive championships, the sixth, seventh and eighth Milan won three consecutive championships, and Juventus did not win a championship.

This is just a warm-up tournament and does not have much practical significance, but this year, due to the change of coaches of Inter Milan, AC Milan and Juventus, the debut of the "TIM" Cup as the new coach of the top three is also a special highlight.

Juventus fired coach Ferrara in the middle of last season due to poor results, and Zaccheroni took over until the end of the season, also due to unsatisfactory results, Juventus did not renew Zaccheroni's contract and hired a new coach Del Neri at the end of the season.

For the hiring of Del Neri, Juventus fans are very disapproving, the 60-year-old Del Neri does have a wealth of coaching experience, but the experience of 17 job hopping in the past 25 years also shows the upheaval of his coaching career, the longest coaching experience is from 98 to 04 seasons in Chievo, in addition to Del Neri in Rome, Palermo, Sampdoria, Atalanta, Empoli and Chievo and other as many as six Serie A teams, and is indeed familiar with Serie A. In the eyes of Juventus fans, Delneri is still a transition, and it is still unknown who will be the next and when he will be replaced.

For Inter Milan, after Jose Mourinho won the treble and left Inter Milan, Moratti had hoped for Capello or Hiddink to take over, but after being refused, Benitez took charge of the Meazza Stadium in early June, and there were doubts everywhere about how long the Spaniard and Moratti would be able to live together at Inter.

The three new coaches in the top three of Serie A are not candidates who can reassure the team management, players and fans, perhaps because of this, these three managers are also secretly competing with each other.

In the tryouts, Allegri was more testing the substitutes, and the absolute main lineup was the "touchstone" of the substitute lineup.

Milan's first team, goalkeeper Ariati, defenders from left to right selected Jankulovski, Nesta, Thiago Silva, Abate, midfielders Pirlo, Gattuso, Ambrosini, forward Ronaldo, forwards Pato and Robinho, a formation between 4-4-2 and 4-3-2-1.

Ibrahimovic still did not participate in the TIM Cup, and it is said that the salary issue, transfer fee and other issues have not been negotiated, and it is said that they have actually been negotiated, but the Swedes believe that they are also the main force if they do not play in the warm-up game, so there is no need to waste their precious time and energy, in short, Ibrahimovic still did not come to the base.

In the second line, goalkeeper Amelia, defenders arranged Antonini, Bonella, Papastathopoulos, Zambrotta from left to right, midfielders Seedorf, Flamini, Strasser, Boateng, and the two forwards used a combination of Ghanaian teenager Aditya and veteran Inzaghi.

The third lineup is not complete for the time being, Allegri will consider drawing personnel from the first team and the second team exchange when arranging, the arrangement of the third lineup, goalkeeper Flavio Roma, defenders Karadze, Yepez, Oneu, Odo, from left to right can still make up, midfielders Chen Zhuo and Vanney, Nigerian small forward Nigeria's Oduamadi, temporarily determined that they are 8 people, the remaining three, Allegri drew Jankulovski, Vlamini, Strasser, Players such as Aditya and veteran Inzaghi adjusted different lineups for testing.

There is no formal set time for the tryouts, and Allegri often stops the game after ten minutes to make tactical adjustments, goes on the pitch to explain to a few players and then starts again.

The lineup of the TIM Cup was announced a day in advance, Juventus started with the full main lineup, Inter Milan started with a semi-main substitute, and AC Milan started with the second team mixed with some third teams as the starters, and the attitude of the three teams towards this game can be seen from the starting lineup.

Juventus have started the season with a revival, bringing in a pair of partners who were successful at Sampdoria last season: new coach Del Neri and new manager Marotta.

Last season, a sadly beaten Juventus finished seventh, and there is a desperate hope that a series of changes will give the Bianconeri a new look. The newly appointed duo of Marotta and Del Neri has launched a major change with the Italian at its core, creating a new team.

As many as 15 players, including Trezeguet, Ekdal and Camoranesi, have either transferred out or are planning to transfer out, bringing in Italian players such as Quagliarella, Aquilani and Matri, 10 players have been brought in, and three or four more are being finalized.

This time, Del Neri's new squad after the big change is also the first appearance before the league.

Inter Milan is still dominated by the "treble" players, but it is still doubtful that these players can adapt to Benitez's pressing style of play, and whether the attacking tactics centered on "liberating Eto'o" will affect the performance of other players in the front field, which is a matter of concern before the game.

Perhaps, everything can be unveiled in this TIM Cup.

As a warm-up match, the substitution rules of the TIM Cup are also relaxed, 5 substitutions can be made in each 45 minutes, and a total of 10 substitutions can be made, so each team has 24 players on the list this time.

Milan is currently not counting Ibrahimovic, there are 30 players on the squad, and the players who did not bring this time, the third goalkeeper Flavio Roma, the central defender Nesta, the three main defenders Pirlo, Gattuso, Ambrosini did not bring any of them, and there is also a player who is not in the 24-man list, which is actually Chen Zhuo.

Except for Chen Zhuo, the other five were all recommended to rest after the team doctor's diagnosis, and Chen Zhuo's physical examination of various indicators on the side of the body was as strong as a cow, and as a result, Chen Zhuo was put into the "wounded soldier group...... It seems that this time all the posts are shiyan.

For this list and players outside the list, the media has two very different interpretations, one is that Milan is ready to abandon Chen Zhuo, and Allegri released a signal to implement a large-scale transformation of Milan's central axis, and according to "supposed" and "rumors" to disclose, Chen Zhuo Fanny combination was originally not a request of head coach Allegri, but Galliani has other intentions, Fanny can consider replacing the 37-year-old Inzaghi as a point-grabbing striker, Chen Zhuo is on loan after Milan is gilded.

This interpretation is strongly bearish, and the other interpretation is strongly sought after, the analysis said that these six "injured" are precisely the players who do not have to worry about leaving, Flavio Roma is one of the three goalkeepers that the team must retain, no matter who plays unstable in the first two goalkeepers, he is the substitute, Nesta, Pirlo, Gattuso is the absolute main force, Ambrosini will not leave the team has risen to an emotional height. Therefore, in this warm-up match, Allegri only examines those positions where he is not sure enough and is not directional, and for these players, there is no need to investigate.

At least for the time being, there are a lot more bears than favorites, and in media surveys, the overwhelming majority of people are not optimistic that Chen Zhuo will gain a foothold in Milan.

The attendance rate of the San Nicola Stadium in Bari is about two-thirds, and the attendance rate in the warm-up game is already considered high, although it is not in the squad, but Allegri still brought all the players to the San Nicola Stadium, Chen Zhuo and Pirlo Gattuso and others sat in the stands, occasionally a few small fans came to ask for autographs, but most of them came to find Pirlo, occasionally a few came to find Gattuso, and the rest were obviously less accepted here.
