Super Marshal

On the evening of April 6, 2005, at the San Siro Stadium in Milan, Italy.

Accompanied by Lin Xia, Gao Han sat in the stand area where the Inter Milan fans were, watching the first round of the UEFA Champions League quarter-final knockout match, AC Milan's derby match against Inter Milan at home.

Zaccheroni's team did not perform well in Serie A, and wanted to make a difference in the Champions League, so this game sent the main players to play, and put a lot of effort into the lineup arrangement. It has become a more secure 442 formation.

On the other hand, Ancelotti's AC Milan continues to adopt a four-three-one-two formation in a steady manner, so as to respond to changes without change.

As rivals in the same city, the two sides are very familiar with each other, and their targeted tactics are also in place.

For Kaka, the most threatening player of AC Milan, Inter Milan defended very tightly and did not give the Brazilian the slightest chance.

The same is true for AC Milan. The double central defender composed of Nesta and Stam also defends very well against the double forward composed of Ibrahimovic and Martins, especially Ibrahimovic. .

But even so, the Swedish center still got an excellent chance in the first half. After receiving the ball from the right, relying on his personal ability, he took the ball and turned around and passed Cafu and Gattuso. Foot shot into the far corner.

But this exquisite shot was saved by the opponent's goalkeeper Dida with great help.

This was a big blow to Inter Milan, coupled with the end of the first half, the Nerazzurri seemed a little slack.

In stoppage time in the first half, Pirlo took a free kick and assisted Stam to score with a header, 1-0.

In the stands, Gao Han shook his head and sighed after seeing Stam's goal.

"Inter Milan is miserable!"

"Isn't there still a second half?" Lin Xia asked strangely.

Judging from the performance of the first half, neither team got too many chances. Although AC Milan scored a goal, Inter Milan was more threatening, especially Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

"This is a mentality problem." Gao Han shook his head and said, "Strictly speaking, Inter Milan played better in the first half, but they still failed to break through AC Milan's goal, and were scored by the opponent instead. They were eager to win in the second half ,I am afraid……"

In the past few years, mentality problems have always plagued Inter Milan.

In fact, in terms of card strength, Inter Milan is not bad at all, but it is always a little bit worse. The reason is that the Nerazzurri lacks the temperament of a strong man.

Or it should be said that this team lacks a determination to win.

"Zaccheroni is pinning his hopes on the Champions League, and so are the players. They fell behind by a goal in the first half and will definitely counterattack in the second half, but Ancelotti is a well-known old turtle. If you don't stick to it at this time, when will you wait? "

After finishing speaking, Gao Han sighed again with a wry smile.

Sometimes, in some games, one goal already decides the winner.

But in fact, Zaccheroni's adjustment was faster and more sudden than Gao Han expected.

In the second half, Inter Milan not only pushed out to attack, but also replaced Ibrahimovic with Vieri in the 50th minute, which made Gao Han in the stands baffled.

After Ibrahimovic joined Inter Milan, he scored fewer goals than when he was at Chelsea. Even in the Champions League, he had no results. This also made Ibrahimovic, who joined with a lot of money before the season, prepared Be criticized.

There is Ibrahimovic in the front and Cannavaro in the back. The two generals of Inter Milan, one in front and the other in the back, are not less scolded.

Zaccheroni replaced Ibrahimovic with Vieri at this time, obviously to strengthen the offense, but the substitution just after halftime was indeed too demoralizing.

And Ibrahimovic seems to have not scored, but he is the most threatening player on the court.

Sure enough, after Ibrahimovic left the field, he angrily shook Zaccheroni's face, and went straight into the player tunnel, and anyone could see the anger in his chest.

On the contrary, after the substitution, Inter Milan played less threateningly. On the contrary, in the 74th minute, Pirlo used a corner kick to assist Shevchenko and scored another goal, helping AC Milan to score 2-0. Defeated the sworn enemy in the same city.

In this way, AC Milan can almost be said to have stepped into the semi-finals with one foot.

Gao Han sat among the Inter Milan fans and kept shaking his head.

The reason why AC Milan can win is all thanks to the excellent defense of the Rossoneri, especially the double central defender composed of Nesta and Stam to restrict Ibrahimovic's defense, and Maldini's left flank to Martin. Sri Lanka's marking is quite in place.

On the other hand, Inter Milan's offense is lackluster, and the defense is also full of mistakes.

Cannavaro has a lot of problems this season. Zaccheroni used the combination of Cordoba and veteran Mikhailovich in this game. As a result, the performance of the two central defenders was also a disaster.

Especially in the second half, eager to counterattack, focusing on offense and light defense, let AC Milan's offense threaten the goal again and again, and the double central defenders were almost exhausted.

Of course, Inter Milan is not without praise, and that is the midfielder.

Although the player Cambiasso has not been reused in Real Madrid in the past few years, his progress has been very obvious. The defense and organization are very good, but Gao Han, who has been away for a long time, is quite impressive.

Zanetti was another commendable player in Inter Milan's midfield. As Cambiasso's second-in-command, his performance is also remarkable, and Stankovic's performance is also quite good.

The three midfielders of Inter Milan, together with Van der Meyde on the wing, are more inclined to pass and cooperate and run without the ball. They also actively adopt high-position presses, but this has also caused frequent mistakes in Inter Milan's defense.

At first glance, AC Milan's two goals are set kicks, but before, the Rossoneri used counterattacks to create Inter Milan's fouls, which is obviously not accidental.

It should be said that Ancelotti is still very old and cunning. He seems to play pass control, but in his heart he is defensive and counterattack. First, he puts himself in an invincible position, and then waits for Inter Milan to make a mistake.

On the other hand, Inter Milan, playing high defense and passing control is not a problem. The problem is that its own offense is not good enough and the defense is not strong enough, and the pass and control style of play is not well organized.

With Juventus and AC Milan so strong, coaching Inter...

"It's really an interesting challenge!" Gao Han said with a smile.

…………

…………

Gao Han appeared at the San Siro Stadium and watched the photos of the Milan derby, and soon appeared in the reports of major media in Italy and even Europe, and the response even overshadowed this derby in the quarterfinals of the Champions League.

Everyone knows that Zaccheroni's dismissal is a foregone conclusion, but Gao Han suddenly appeared at this time. Could it be that he is going to coach Inter Milan?

The Italian media and Inter Milan fans suddenly became overwhelmed.

That's alpine!

Since his debut, he has maintained an unstoppable winning streak. If he came to coach Inter Milan, wouldn't the victory and the championship be at his fingertips?

What's worth pondering is that when the outside world was hyping Gao Han to coach Inter Milan, the Nerazzurri's management did not stand up again to refute the rumors and support the head coach Zaccheroni as before.

On the contrary, Swedish center Zlatan Ibrahimovic publicly stated in an interview with Gazzetta dello Sport that Gao Han is welcome to coach Inter Milan, "The boss is a magical head coach. He has a very unique charm that makes all players They are all willing to work hard for him, and he will give the players trust from the bottom of their hearts."

The media understood that this was Ibrahimovic's move to replace Zaccheroni at halftime.

But after Ibrahimovic, central defender Cannavaro was also interviewed by the media, but he was not as straightforward as the Swedish center, but said cryptically, "Gao Han is a head coach that all professional players can hardly refuse! "

But soon, Gao Han's agent Mendes stood up and clarified that Gao Han did not come to watch the Milan Derby on a special trip.

"He is traveling around the world with his wife and recently happened to be in Italy."

Unexpectedly, although Mendes' clarification resolved Inter Milan's problems, it brought huge troubles to Gao Han, because the Italian media began to frantically search for his traces, making him plan to have a good time in Italy. In the extreme cold, he had to temporarily change his plan and fled Italy.

But the progress of the game did not go beyond Gao Han's judgment.

After Inter Milan lost 0-2 to AC Milan in the first leg, after returning to the home court in the second leg, they conceded a goal and fell behind again. Even in the last period of the game, the Inter Milan fans in the stands threw fireworks and hit AC Milan. Milan's goalkeeper Dida ended the game early.

The uncool behavior of the fans caused Inter Milan to suffer severe criticism from the Italian and foreign media, as well as UEFA. European competitions of the season.

At this point, Inter Milan finally lost to AC Milan with a total score of 0 to 5.

After losing the Milan Derby, the Nerazzurri's morale was slumped. After returning to Serie A, they lost to Messina and fell out of the top four in the league. Failed to regain the top four.

After the thirty-eighth round, Inter Milan finally ranked fifth and was forced to only participate in the UEFA Cup next season.

This made all Inter Milan fans unsatisfied, and even coach Zaccheroni himself felt disappointed.

After the end of the season, Nerazzurri chairman Facchetti announced that Zaccheroni would be dismissed from get out of class. The team will start looking for a new coach and promise to reorganize the team, hoping to build a more competitive team around the new coach. Inter Milan.

This news immediately caused an uproar all over the world. Countless Nerazzurri fans are eagerly looking forward to the arrival of the new coach, especially the long-rumored Gao Han.

There was even an Inter Milan fan club that organized a public fundraiser, bought an entire page in the Gazzetta dello Sport, and issued an appeal, hoping that the management would pay a lot of money to hire Gao Han.

"He is our savior!"

However, some media said that the coach that Inter Milan is really interested in is the Lazio coach Mancini, who had an affair with Inter Milan last summer, and Manic also said in an interview with the media that it is difficult for him to refuse. Invitation from Inter Milan.

All of a sudden, rumors about Inter Milan's new coach came in an endless stream, confusing and confusing, which became a major suspense in European football in the summer, attracting the eager attention of fans all over the world.

It was in this turbulent hype atmosphere that Gao Han finally ended his vacation and took Lin Xia back to his home in Madrid.

And the first person to find Gao Han's house was...
