Chapter 764: Inter Milan (Middle)
PS: In the new week, continue to ask for recommendation votes here, I hope you can continue to support you, thank you~
Looking at Inter Milan, Luigi Simeone, who was sentenced to death by the boss (but with a reprieve, until the end of the season), does not seem to be sad because he is about to lose his job, judging from his expression, the Italian coach looks a few years younger!
"It seems that Coach Simeone has really been angry in the past few seasons at Inter Milan." Looking at Simeone, who appeared on the TV screen, as if he had practiced some exercises and showed signs of rejuvenation, Zhuang Mingge said with emotion, "Being the head coach of Inter Milan under Massimo (Moratti) is really a job that breaks my life, I don't know how Coach Simeone has survived in recent years." ”
"Hey, Tony, you're wrong, how can there be a big coach who doesn't have much pressure?" Hearing Zhuang Mingge's intermittent convulsions, Karin, who had long been accustomed to this, immediately complained, "Coaching in a small team has worries about being in a small team, and leading the team in a big team also has pressure in a big team." Generally speaking, a manager who can coach at a big club not only needs them to excel in terms of technical and tactical level, but they also need to have a strong enough heart and a leading skill that most people can convince them, but also have a good relationship with the club's top management, so as not to be held back by their own people! ”
"So, the pressure on the managers who coach in the big clubs is often much greater than that of those low-level managers!" Speaking of which, Karin concluded, "The main reason why Coach Capello didn't put too much pressure on Fiorentina was because Tony didn't interfere with his team-leading strategy and didn't put too much pressure on him. You know, many managers who coach in big clubs age very quickly, and the reason is that they have to devote a considerable amount of energy to dealing with the relationship with the top! ”
Since the communication between Zhuang Mingge and Karin will continue for a while, I will first introduce the starting list of Inter Milan for this game, the goalkeeper is the 32-year-old veteran Pagliuca; At the back, Marco Lanna and Billindelli are the left and right wing-backs, with Uncle Bergomi and Gallant partnering in central defence; In the midfield, due to Moreno's fatigue due to injury, Simeone had to be forced to make changes, moving the original main right-back Zanetti forward to replace the vacancy left by Moreno, the starting left midfield is the French veteran Djokaeff, and the middle of the midfield is still a combination of Diego Simeone and Alan Winter; Up front, Batistuta and Roberto Baggio are the absolute mainstays in Simeone's hands as long as they are not plagued by injuries. With these two men, other players such as Zamorano and Ventola can only sit on the bench and wait for their chances.
Judging from the configuration of players alone, Inter Milan's starting lineup can definitely be regarded as the first class in Europe, with stars on all three lines, even the backline that the boss of Momo pays the least attention to, and there are well-known stars such as Pagliuca, Belgomibi, Lindley, although not as solid as the backline of Fiorentina and Juventus, but it can be regarded as first-class in Serie A.
However, it is such a squad that Inter Milan have not performed well on all fronts this season, not only exiting the Coppa Italia early, but also falling to fourth place in the league standings, and next season's Champions League place is in jeopardy...... The most important thing is that in the European battlefield, the Nerazzurri were blocked out of the quarterfinals by Kaiserslautern led by the veteran Sforza!
The reason for this is that, in addition to the locker room chaos caused by the lack of calmness of the boss of Mo, which greatly affected the team's combat effectiveness, Inter Milan's squad also has a very obvious weakness, that is, the overall age of this group of players is really a bit old, which makes the aging of the Nerazzurri quite strict.
Of the starting eleven at Inter, Lanner, Djokaeff and Baggio are all in their prime, Pagliuca and Winter are 32 years old, Bergomi is 35 years old, Barty is 29 years old, Diego Simeone is 28 years old, and Gallant and Zanetti are 26 years old...... Among the starters on this vote, there is only one Bill Lindley who is under the age of twenty-five, and there are only four people who are playing properly, including Gallant, a pit dad with average strength!
It can be seen that Inter Milan's performance is not only due to the reckless behavior of the boss of Mo, but also the aging of the main players has also played a very important role.
With that out of the way, let's turn our attention to the pitch. After returning to the warmth of Italy from the cold of Ukraine, Fiorentina's players also seemed to have regained the feeling of playing football, under the watchful eyes of more than 80,000 fans at the Meazza Stadium, and under the dual core of Pirlo and Effenberg, Fiorentina played beautiful attacking football, firmly suppressed Inter Milan at home in their own half!
On the other hand, Inter Milan, although with the efforts of Bergomi and others, many players have temporarily put away their small abacus to concentrate on coping with the match with the leader Fiorentina, but they are still suppressed by the opponent with home advantage. A large part of the reason for this phenomenon is that Batistuta, the scoring pillar that the Nerazzurri rely on the most, has made a mistake of "spring sleep" at this juncture!
It is precisely because of the sluggish state of the Argentine god of war that the Fiorentina defenders dare to press forward the defense without scruples - they bully that Inter Milan is now lacking a player on the field who can lead the team to play a quick counterattack!
Admittedly, neither Roberto Baggio nor Djokaef were slow at the time, as they were often able to exploit the opposition defence's pressing opportunities to play a brilliant quick counter-attack and score goals. However, with the passage of time, they have now reached the age of 30 and have long lost the speed and explosiveness of the past, and can only rely on their increasingly sophisticated skills and rich experience to maneuver, rather than going to the opponent head-to-head!
Therefore, after Barty fell into spring sleep, the impact and threat of Inter Milan's forward line dropped by more than a notch at once. The result of the lack of speed and impact is that once Inter Milan is suppressed by the opponent, it will be difficult to use the large space behind the opposing defenders to create good scoring opportunities!
In fact, when he played for Fiorentina, Barty had a problem of falling into a scoring absurdity circle when the teams started to sprint in the spring. It's just that Fiorentina had a lot of good players on the offensive end at that time, even if Batty himself fell into a goal drought and couldn't score goals, Fiorentina and Ronaldo and Vieri and others could make up for this lack with super scoring firepower.
But at Inter Milan, the Argentine god of war is the Nerazzurri's leading scorer, and the aging Robert Baggio and Djokaeff have both stepped back into the background and begun to take on more playmaking tasks than attacking at the front, which leads to Batty's lack of fire, and it will be difficult for Inter Milan's forward line to find a second person to fill the void.
The Argentine god of war, who had not scored in consecutive games, greatly dragged down Inter's results, causing the Nerazzurri, who had been able to keep up with Fiorentina before the winter break, to fall off the chain in the sprint. It is even polite to say that Barty, who entered spring sleep, is the culprit who led Simone to leave class early!
