Super Marshal

Chapter 451 Have We Lost?

September 21st, Verona Bent Gordy Stadium.

With the momentum of three consecutive victories, the strong Inter Milan soldiers pointed directly at Chievo.

But this small team, which only ranked 15th in Serie A last season and was at risk of relegation, performed not bad at all this season, with two wins and one loss in the first three rounds, ranking fourth in the league.

The head coach Giuseppe Pilon is not well-known, but he was the head coach of the Serie B team Treviso last season. Because of his good performance in Treviso, he was affirmed by Chievo and left Treviso , coaching the Serie A team.

As a result, the forty-nine-year-old, unknown, long-time low-level coach coach surprised everyone in his first season in Serie A.

The away game caused a lot of trouble for Juventus in the first round of the league. Although they lost 0-1 in the end, Chievo won everyone's affirmation. Then they won 1-0 at home in the second round of Parma. One defeated Regina.

Giuseppe Pilon led Chievo to an astonishing performance in the first three rounds, making this underdog in Serie A, which was not under the eyes of others, once again entered the attention of everyone.

What's interesting is that Giuseppe Piron's formation is a more balanced 442. The center forward is Amauri, a high center forward of Brazilian descent. His scoring ability is not strong, but his tactical role is great.

The goalkeeper is Fontana, who just left Inter Milan this summer.

Gao Han still arranged a four-three-three formation in this game, but because it was a consecutive week of double matches, Gao Han made an appropriate rotation of the lineup.

On the back line, Cordoba temporarily replaced Zanetti as the right back.

Although this short player is good at playing central defender, he is very fast. Gao Han also tried to let him play full-back.

In addition, in the midfield, Zanetti replaced Cambiasso, Stankovic replaced Figo in the starting lineup, and Solari replaced Cristiano Ronaldo as the team's left winger.

Although it was a rotation, Inter Milan played well in this game. The midfield of Stankovic, Veron and Zanetti was also well organized, and Solari and Recoba played on both wings. Power, Ibrahimovic still serves as the center forward, and the offense is also very threatening.

It is not bad that the rotation lineup can play like this, and Gao Han is also very satisfied.

Just a goal but never came.

Giuseppe Pilon's formation in this game was very targeted, and he played very tenaciously at home. The four midfielders did not lose the wind in the face of Inter Milan, and the overall formation was retracted. Next Amaury.

Although Chievo's style of play gave up the initiative of the game to Inter Milan, it held the defense very tightly.

This is also a major feature of Serie A.

Inter Milan can't attack for a long time, gains momentum without scoring, and frequently misses good scoring opportunities.

But at the last moment of the first half, Inter Milan played another wave of offensive. After Solari cooperated with Evra on the left, he dribbled the ball and broke through the bottom line forcibly, but when the cross was blocked by the opponent's central defender, he won. A corner kick.

Recoba personally took the penalty, and Gao Han used a five-star confrontation card. As a result, Cannavaro broke out from the crowd, squeezed away the defenders around him, and blasted the ball into the goal guarded by Fontana .

The score of one to zero was also maintained until the end.

Inter Milan narrowly won!

…………

…………

Taking away a 1-0 narrow victory from the away game, Inter Milan finally catered to the expectations of the outside media, and their performance began to decline.

In another game held at the same time, AC Milan defeated Lazio 2-0 at home, and Juventus defeated Udinese 1-0 away, both performed well.

This also made many media very sure that as the season progresses, Inter Milan will gradually show fatigue.

But regarding this statement, Gao Han asked back with a smile at the press conference after the game, leaving all media reporters speechless.

"I'm very strange, why do you always like to guess when we will lose? You are shouting that we are going to collapse almost every week, but it has been so many years, have we lost?"

Afterwards, Gao Han smiled and said: "Consecutive double matches in a week, and the Serie A league in the middle of the week, I am very satisfied if I can win!"

But that being said, the media continued to report this after the game. It was nothing more than the remarks that Inter Milan's performance declined and the next round would be the next round.

The only thing that is relatively new is that some media reporters photographed Adriano in the stands of the Bent Gordy Stadium.

The Brazilian striker was suspended by Gao Han for four games and fined for one month, which made everyone see Gao Han's determination to clean up discipline.

One month into the league, without a Brazilian striker, Inter Milan still won four consecutive victories. Even many fans have gradually forgotten the existence of Adriano, and instead feel that it is good for Inter Milan to continue playing like this.

But now, Adriano once again appeared in front of the media, sparking discussions again.

Everyone knows that this top superstar, known as the most powerful and potential star in Europe in the next ten years, should not waste time in the stands. Therefore, whether Adriano will return to the starting lineup has become the focus of everyone's attention. Focus.

But some media began to speculate that Adriano will leave Inter Milan.

It was never a concern as to where he went.

Real Madrid is hungry for talents, Juventus, AC Milan, Chelsea... a lot of European teams want him.

However, Inter Milan refused to respond to this.

Three days later, Serie A ushered in the fifth round of the league.

Inter Milan returned to San Siro to face visiting Fiorentina.

This time Gao Han dispatched almost all the main players. Favalli, Cannavaro, Materazzi and Zanetti formed the defense line. The midfielder was still a combination of Figo, Veron and Cambiasso. No change, Cristiano Ronaldo, Ibrahimovic and Recoba form the trident.

Fiorentina's coach Prandelli arranged a four-four-two formation, and the double forward was Luca Toni's partner, the teenager Bojinov.

But what is really unexpected is that when facing the four-game winning streak, Inter Milan, Prandelli suddenly turned away and launched a fierce attack on Inter Milan from the very beginning.

In just 30 seconds of the opening, Fiorentina created a chance. High center Luca Toni beat Materazzi 15 meters in front of the goal and kicked the goal, but Cesar reacted quickly and saved the ball.

This shot made Inter Milan break out in a cold sweat, but Gao Han quickly made a decision and the team began to counterattack.

After that, Inter Milan played a wave of small highs in a row, creating three very threatening shots for Fiorentina's goal, but goalkeeper Frey performed well and tried to keep the goal.

But in the tenth minute, Favalli fouled from the left, and after Fiorentina took a free kick, Luca Toni overpowered Materazzi and Cannavaro with a header from close range, opening the scoring for Fiorentina.

This is obviously a well-prepared set-piece cooperation, which has accurately grasped Inter Milan's weakness in defense.

Gao Han was also very depressed about this conceded goal.

Materazzi is like a god when he is stable, but once his brain is short-circuited, it is really...

It's hard to blame Cannavaro for this ball. After all, the physical gap is there, and he also went to fill the void of Materazzi, but unfortunately he became a background victim of Luca Toni's goal.

Conceding a goal for the first time in the new season, and being scored by the visiting team at the Meazza Stadium, this made the Inter Milan fans nervous, and almost everyone in the audience was tense.

The live TV shots were frequently shown on the faces of Moratti and others in the stands, paying attention to their anxious expressions.

Gao Han stood on the side all the time, called all the players over, and said a few words.

After the game restarted, Inter Milan was not in a hurry to counterattack, but to stabilize their position as their primary goal.

The midfield headed by Veron and Figo, and the defense headed by Cannavaro and Zanetti finally played the role of experienced veterans and quickly regained their footing.

After stabilizing the situation, Inter Milan began to plan a counterattack, and Gao Han also began to use skill cards.

In the 20th minute, the Nerazzurri entered the front of Fiorentina's penalty area and wanted to pass the ball to Zlatan Ibrahimovic, but the opponent's central defender successfully tackled it, but the ball did not fly far.

Recoba nimbly grabbed the spot, and without waiting for the defender to approach, he sent the ball directly to Figo's feet.

Figo advanced forward at a critical moment. After receiving the ball, he dribbled the ball from the left rib to the penalty area. After attracting the attention of the defenders, he suddenly kicked through and sent the ball accurately into the penalty area.

The kick was just right, it just landed in the middle area between the opponent's defender and the goalkeeper, making it difficult for goalkeeper Frey to attack decisively, but Cristiano Ronaldo quickly caught up like a bolt of lightning...

The rest is easy.

Once again, Cristiano Ronaldo seized his chance and calmly sent the ball into the goal, one to one!

This goal not only helped Inter Milan equalize the score, but also restored the morale of the team.

After that, the Nerazzurri went all out and continued to attack Fiorentina.

Only eight minutes later, Zlatan Ibrahimovic made another victory for the team to overtake the score, one to two.

After that, in the second half, Inter Milan firmly controlled the situation. Veron scored the third and last goal of the game for the Nerazzurri with a long shot.

At the 65th minute, Gao Han finally made a substitution adjustment.

Adriano, who had not seen him for a long time, replaced Ibrahimovic as the team's center forward. However, although the Brazilian forward created several opportunities throughout the game, he failed to grasp them and finally ended regrettably.

Three days after finishing the fifth round of Serie A, Inter Milan ushered in the second round of the UEFA Cup first-round knockout round. They played with a rotation lineup, and finally defeated Setubal 1-0 and successfully advanced with a total score of 3-0. .

After the UEFA Cup match, Inter Milan went away to challenge Udinese.

This time Inter Milan sent their main force to play and once again showed a super attacking power. In the first half, they took the lead with Ibrahimovic's goal.

But the key is the second half. Starting from the 61st minute, within ten minutes, Inter Milan played a wave of fierce offensive, with three players, Cristiano Ronaldo, Ibrahimovic and Figo. Scored three goals, defeated Udinese 4-0 and won six consecutive victories.

But Juventus's performance is not bad at all, beating Lecce 3-0 away, also a six-game winning streak, with the same points as Inter Milan, but temporarily ranked second with a goal difference disadvantage.

AC Milan defeated Palermo 2-1 at home, won three consecutive victories, and then ranked third in the league with a record of four wins, one draw and one loss, and gradually followed the fourth Livorno, Palermo, etc. The team widened the points gap.

After the end of this round, Serie A was temporarily suspended and ushered in a two-week national team match day.

However, some British media captured the high cold at London Heathrow Airport.

What is he doing in London?

Fans all over the world are talking about it.
