Chapter 487 The real master

"We didn't lose to our opponents, we lost to injuries and the schedule."

This was AC Milan head coach Carlo Ancelotti’s explanation at the post-match press conference after losing the Milan derby 0-6.

Ancelotti believes that the reason why this game was lost by a large score was largely accidental, and the opponent's luck is very important.

“We just experienced a life-and-death battle in the Champions League group stage in midweek. Everyone worked hard in that game. In the end, we emerged from the group stage and then welcomed Inter Milan non-stop. "

"Maldini is injured, and Nesta's physical condition is not very good. He was unable to participate in training because of illness, but now it is the time when the schedule is the most stringent. The continuous multi-line battles have brought us great impact. The pressure also makes it difficult for our players to get time to rest."

"I am basically satisfied with the team's performance in the game. They are all tenacious and performed very well, but I want to say that sometimes not all good performances and all hard work can be rewarded."

"We conceded the goal early in the game, which completely disrupted our plan and forced us to think about how to press out and attack instead of focusing on defense. This is very fatal, especially when facing a strong opponent like Inter Milan. hour."

"The final score is regrettable, but it is not the end. We will find the reasons, study countermeasures, and get back to the next game."

After defeating his rival in the same city 6-0, Gao Han did not add insult to injury to his opponent, but took the initiative to mention the fact that AC Milan was seriously out of shape, but he also said that it was all within his plan.

"In fact, we have focused on AC Milan's conceding goals. In the past period, their starts have been unsatisfactory, so we felt that we can use this characteristic to create an offensive. As a result, we gained the first The first and second goals, that basically decided the game.”

"Generally speaking, AC Milan will not leave so many opportunities for opponents, but after we took a two-goal lead, their mentality began to become unbalanced. After that, the initiative is in our hands and we will proceed according to the situation on the field. It’s natural to make adjustments and changes, and this game was perfect for us.”

"As for the defense of Pirlo and Kaká?" After hearing the reporter's question, Gao Han thought for a moment and nodded: "Actually, we did not specially arrange personnel to mark Pirlo, and neither did Kaká. We passed the players' Positioning and running to limit their movement space and reduce their chances of creating threats.”

"The victory in this game has given us strong confidence and made us more aware of our abilities."

"As reported by our friends in the media before the game, we have not won against an opponent in this stadium for six years. This game has brought back the joy of the derby to our players and our fans. We should Enjoy it all."

"Fifteen consecutive wins is just the beginning. We hope to win one game at a time, but it will not be easy."

"I told our players in the locker room after the game, forget the Milan derby, forget the fifteen-game winning streak, we should think about the opponent in the next game."

Although Gao Han tried to keep a low profile at the post-match press conference, major media still hyped up Inter Milan.

The three tiger players, Ibrahimovic, Cristiano Ronaldo and Adriano, all scored twice. After Yaya Toure came on in the second half, Inter Milan even piled up four goals in the frontcourt. A strong man, this is very different from Gao Han's past emphasis on short players and his mercury-like passing and control style.

Some media even believe that the reason why AC Milan conceded consecutive goals in the final stage was because this set of macho tactics caught them off guard and worked wonders.

But what no one expected was that, apart from Trident, the one the media praised the most was Cambiaso.

This low-key Argentine midfielder did not score or assist, but was evaluated by many media as the hidden best player in Milan Derby, surpassing Cristiano Ronaldo who was elected as the best player in the game.

La Repubblica commented, "He is the real master of Inter Milan!"

Because according to data released by the OPTA data company after the game, Cambiaso made as many as eleven tackles in the entire game, the most in the game, even more than Gattuso. This is different from Cambiaso. Weak looks like the complete opposite.

Gazzetta dello Sport also gave Cambiasso a very high evaluation, believing that he is a sword, but also a shield.

"He doesn't look like Redondo, he looks like Cambiaso."

In Gazzetta dello Sport's player selection this season, Cambiaso's average points per game were as high as 6.54, which was significantly more than Juventus midfielder Vieira, who ranked second in the midfielder rankings. By a length, it also surpassed Pirlo.

You know, Vieira and Pirlo are both world-class midfielders who are among the top 50 European Footballers.

"Gao Han has always attached great importance to the defensive midfielder, and has the habit of reusing organizational midfielders, such as Xavi Alonso of Atletico Madrid. But now, in the Inter Milan team, Zanetti, who performed well last season, has gradually been replaced. Biasso replaced him and became a substitute, which all depends on Cambiasso's understanding and integration of high-cold tactics."

"During the game, we can often see this passionate Argentine midfielder always commanding his teammates loudly. His running without hesitation drives every teammate on the court. His presence makes the international Milan has a rare balance between the frontcourt and the backcourt."

"His passing success rate is extremely high, his defense is also very dedicated, and his running range is large, which makes him the perfect candidate for the deep position in Inter Milan's midfield."

Cambiaso's popularity surprised everyone, but at the same time they were also very convinced.

During a regular club event the next day, Gao Han mentioned in an interview with the media that Cambiaso has the ability to become the core of the team's midfield and also has the ability to become a world-class midfielder.

"He is very smart. He always remembers and knows how to master the balance between offense and defense, advance and retreat on the court. This is very, very difficult. There are very few players like this."

But Gao Han also said that Cambiaso still has a lot to do.

"He is only 25 years old and has only been able to play more games in the past two years. I think he still has considerable potential that can be tapped. He needs to keep playing to gain experience. At the same time, he also needs to maintain humility. With a strong heart, continuous learning and continuous improvement, I believe that one day, he will be one of the best midfielders in Europe."

Cambiasso himself was flattered by the high praise from the head coach. He kept repeating that he had made rapid progress under Gao Han's coaching. The latter had brought great changes to the team and made the team better. More fighting spirit.

"Our boss is right. I also feel that I can continue to improve. I believe that I will perform better and better."

A 6-0 win earned Inter Milan overwhelming praise and allowed the Nerazzurri to maintain their unparalleled lead in Serie A.

After fifteen rounds, the Nerazzurri ranked first in the standings with a record of 15 wins, with 45 points.

But also in this round, Juventus defeated Cagliari 4-0 at home. With a score of 40 points, it ranked second in the league after Inter Milan and still maintained pressure on Inter Milan.

Judging from the Bianconeri's performance in the past period, looking at the entire Serie A, it is probably difficult for any other team to stop them except AC Milan and Inter Milan.

This also made Turin Sports News feel very sad in the comments, saying that if Gao Han had not led Inter Milan to emerge this season, then Juventus should be the leader of the league now, and would be the best in the world. .

You know, so far this season, Juventus has only lost one game, which was to Inter Milan and tied with AC Milan. If this result is compared to the past Serie A leagues, it is definitely the leader. Sheep results.

According to Turin Sports News, it's not that Juventus is not good enough, but that the opponent is too strong.

But this Juventus mouthpiece also said that Juventus will make renewed efforts in the next cycle to regain the leadership position.

"We have absolutely reason to believe that Inter Milan's state will not last long, and they will definitely make mistakes and lose points."

The saddest thing about this round is Roma.

The Giallorossi faced Palermo at home. As a result, they conceded a goal in the 20th minute of the first half. Although they quickly equalized the score, they conceded another goal in the 77th minute of the second half and ultimately lost 1-2 at home.

As the saying goes, good things never come in pairs, and misfortunes never come singly. Another team in Rome, Lazio, also lost 1-2 to Livorno in an away game. They also lost the ball first, then equalized, and finally lost again.

After this round of battles, the gap in the Serie A standings gradually widened.

Both Inter Milan and Juventus have exceeded 40 points, and the two teams are leading all the way. Basically everyone believes that the championship will come from these two teams, and Inter Milan is the undoubted favorite to win the championship.

Ranking third in the league is Viola Fiorentina.

Relying on the outstanding performance of center Luca Toni, Fiorentina may seem ordinary, but it is a weapon for grabbing points. It has steadily won every opponent along the way and currently ranks third in the league with 32 points.

Followed closely by AC Milan. Although they lost this round, the Rossoneri still scored 29 points, one point ahead of Livorno, who is fifth in the league.

After that are teams such as Chievo, Sampdoria, Balham, and Lazio. Roma has a poor record and ranks ninth in the league, while Udinese ranks tenth.

Those who are really at the bottom of the standings, Treviso, Cagliari, Parma, Lecce and Messina are only one point apart, from eight points to 12 points, which also makes them relegated. 's big hit.

As for the scorer list, Inter Milan's Trident relied on the team's powerful offensive to successfully squeeze into the top five scorers. This also reflects the strength of Inter Milan's offensive power.

But the one who surprised everyone the most was Fiorentina's high forward Luca Toni.

This 28-year-old Italian center has always been tepid before. He has been ups and downs in Serie A, Serie B and the third level league for many years. It was not until he moved to Palermo in 2003 that he won four points in Serie B. He made a name for himself by scoring thirty goals in fifteen games.

Last season, as Palermo was promoted to Serie A, Luca Toni scored twenty goals in thirty-five league games and became famous in one fell swoop.

But so far this season, Luca Toni has scored 16 goals in fifteen league games. This has made Luca Toni a very popular center in Serie A and even European football. A late bloomer, his popularity is not even inferior to that of Inter Milan's Trident.
