Super Marshal

Chapter 524 The Temperament of a Champion

Since Inter Milan won the Serie A championship and the Italian Cup last season, according to the competition system, this season's Italian Super Cup will pit Inter Milan against Roma, and it will be a home game.

Although it was an away game, Spalletti seemed not to be outdone at all. He still formed the 423 formation that Roma was good at last season, with captain Totti as the team's lone forward and De Rossi. Two local youth training players and Aquilani form a double defensive midfielder, and Pizarro, who joined with a large sum of money this season, serves as the attacking midfielder.

From the beginning of the game, Spalletti's team launched an attack on Inter Milan at the Meazza Stadium. The intention was very obvious, hoping to disrupt Inter Milan's rhythm and pace from the beginning.

In the first ten minutes of the game, as Spalletti expected, Inter Milan was somewhat passive and defensively embarrassed.

Only three minutes into the game, Roma created the first shot of the game.

Aguerola passed the ball from the left. Right winger Mancini, who returned to Rome from Juventus this season, crossed into the penalty area from the right and volleyed the goal before the defender, but failed to suppress the ball. can pose a direct threat.

But this shot obviously boosted the morale of the Roma team, and the Red Wolves began to attack aggressively.

The double defensive midfielder composed of De Rossi and Aquilani performed very hard and once suppressed Inter Milan.

Roma's most threatening shot occurred in the eighth minute. Panucci passed a diagonal pass from the right to the back of the penalty area. Inter Milan's right back Zanetti made a mistake when clearing the ball and did not kick the ball out of the penalty area. Totti was Seize the opportunity and hit the goal from close range.

At the critical moment, Cesar reacted quickly and flew to block the ball. Miraculously, he defused a must-goal for Roma.

Two consecutive threatening offensives made the morale of Roma high and low, while Inter Milan was a little embarrassed.

But Sparati was very aware of Inter Milan's strength and did not dare to be careless at all. He stood on the sidelines and kept adjusting the team, calling on the players to stay focused, for fear of accidentally exposing a flaw and being seized by Inter Milan.

And his game strategy has been exposed, which is to attack and score first.

The shouts of Inter Milan fans resounded above the packed Meazza Stadium.

After last season's performance, Nerazzurri fans, like the players, are full of confidence in the team's victory. They are convinced that the passivity at the beginning is only temporary, and Inter Milan will counterattack Roma sooner or later.

Amid the cheers of the fans, the players were also in no hurry. They organized the game in an orderly manner and patiently passed the ball. They were not disrupted by Roma's attack and two threatening shots.

This made Gao Han and the coaching staff on the sidelines very satisfied.

"It's only now that we finally started to look like champions." Cantarero praised with a smile.

Everyone around them nodded.

The temperament of a team determines the confidence of a team.

In the past, Inter Milan always made people feel like they were short of breath. Even if their team is full of stars and has superior strength, whether they are facing a strong team or a weak team, especially when they are in a stalemate, they always play with worries about gains and losses, and want to The mentality of increasing the intensity of the attack but worrying about being counterattacked and conceding the ball is terrible.

When Gao Han came to the team, after a series of victories last season, he not only brought an improvement in the team's strength, but more importantly, brought strong self-confidence and psychological quality, allowing the players to win under any circumstances. , no matter how bad it is, we will never lose confidence in winning.

This is what Cantarero calls championship temperament, which can also be simply described as domineering.

"There is nothing Spalletti can do. If our trident is allowed to press on them, they will be dead." Gao Han said with a smile.

In the two Coppa Italia finals last season, it can be said that Roma was beaten by Inter Milan without any temper. As soon as Gao Han came up, he pressed the trident, making Roma exhausted and difficult to cope with.

Inter Milan's trident is very good in terms of individual ability and teamwork. With the threat of three players, Roma has to invest more troops in defense. As a result, it is difficult to threaten the offense.

Once the attack loses its threat, Rome will have no choice but to defend its way, and the final result will be a disastrous defeat.

Therefore, Spalletti learned from his experience and lessons and turned against the visitors. He launched an attack on Inter Milan from the beginning, hoping to directly suppress it. It would be better to score a goal and play defensive counterattack with peace of mind.

But Inter Milan is not a vegetarian either.

…………

…………

In the first twenty minutes, Roma had the advantage and threatened Inter Milan's goal many times.

But after that, the Red Wolves also showed their weakness of insufficient stamina, and problems were quickly exposed.

In the 27th minute, when the left winger Taddei was retreating to defend, he accidentally knocked over Veron who was holding the ball, giving Inter Milan a remote frontcourt set-piece opportunity.

Veron personally took the free kick, and many tall Inter Milan players rushed into Roma's penalty area.

Ibrahimovic, Adriano, Cristiano Ronaldo, Yaya Toure, Vidic…

There is also Cannavaro who is not tall but is very good at fighting for headers...

For a moment, there was a tremor in the restricted area of ​​Rome.

Spalletti was probably watching on the sidelines with fear. He kept calling the players on the court, asking them to focus on their targets and not to miss anyone easily.

But when Veron penalized the ball into the penalty area, Inter Milan's set-piece tactics worked. After the players actively ran, they created space for Yaya Toure who was ambushing outside. The Ivorian inserted in the back row. Up, he headed the ball eight meters in front of the goal and sent the ball into the goal guarded by Brazilian goalkeeper Doni.

This goal completely opened the door to victory for Inter Milan.

After taking the lead, Roma began to retreat, and Inter Milan took the opportunity to press forward, firmly suppressing Roma, suppressing the Giallorossi and completely controlling the game.

Gao Han also took the opportunity to adjust the team's tactics, using Ibrahimovic as the core of the frontcourt attack, giving the Swedish center more opportunities to get the ball. At the same time, the midfielder and backfielder also accelerated the pace of the game, through quick passes and Actively pull to create offensive opportunities.

Inter Milan's adjustments made Roma feel very uncomfortable, and their weaknesses were soon exposed again.

In the 36th minute, Evra stepped into the frontcourt to participate in the team's attack. After getting the ball, he passed the ball into the penalty area.

Ibrahimovic shrewdly got rid of Roma central defender Chiu and headed the goal from close range, giving Inter Milan another victory.

After scoring two goals in a row, Roma began to become more conservative, but Inter Milan became more and more relaxed.

Yaya Toure performed very eye-catchingly and became more and more confident in his game. He began to frequently get the ball at the front of the penalty area.

In the 41st minute, he took the ball at the front of the penalty area and passed De Rossi, then passed it into the penalty area. Ibrahimovic used an imaginative and unconventional kick to beat the Asian player. Ya Toure's pass hit the left rib of the penalty area.

At this time, Cristiano Ronaldo quickly got rid of Panucci and other defensive players, broke into the penalty area, received the ball and calmly passed the attacking goalkeeper Doni, and easily pushed the shot into the empty goal, 3-0.

With a three-goal lead in the first half, Inter Milan was already confident of victory.

Entering the halftime break with a score of 3-0, Gao Han was very satisfied with the team's performance. He strongly praised the players' performance in the locker room and praised Yaya Toure by name. He believed that the Ivorian youngster was Inter Milan's best performer in the first half. One of the most threatening players, I hope he can continue to work hard, and at the same time encourage him to use his strength.

As a result, after changing sides in the second half, Yaya Toure hit a powerful long-range shot from the front of the penalty area in the first minute, shocking the entire Roma defense into a cold sweat.

Although this shot failed to hit, it forced Roma to shrink its defense, hoping to block the weak spot at the front of the penalty area.

Gao Han also quickly made substitution adjustments, replacing Zanetti with Maicon to strengthen the offensive on the right.

The Brazilian right back and Adriano have been friends for many years, and they cooperate very well. They made a very eye-catching performance as soon as they came on the field. After getting the ball on the right and completing a one-two with Adriano, Maicon was on the right side of the penalty area. Suddenly a pass was passed back, and Adriano shot with his left foot, almost breaking the Roma goal again.

The two wings are active, sharing Roma's defense, and there are more opportunities in the middle.

Yaya Toure began to show his ability to get the ball. After frequently getting the ball at the front of the penalty area, he passed it to his teammates to create a threat. Especially in the 64th minute, his low kick from the middle Passed the ball, Cristiano Ronaldo pushed the shot into the far corner from the left rib fifteen meters away from the goal, but was saved by goalkeeper Doni.

But just a minute later, Yaya Toure first actively participated in defense and pressure in the midfield, causing Roma to make mistakes in passing and receiving. After Cambiasso intercepted the ball, he handed the ball to Yaya Toure again. underfoot.

The Ivorian took the ball and passed it directly to Ibrahimovic at the front of the penalty area. Roma central defender Chivu fouled while defending from behind, giving Inter Milan a threatening direct free kick opportunity.

Adriano took the penalty himself and scored Inter Milan's fourth goal of the game in one fell swoop.

Four to zero, Inter Milan ended the game early!

After that, Gao Han replaced Stankovic and Hamsik respectively. Inter Milan finally maintained the 4-0 score until the end of the game and successfully won the first championship trophy of the new season.

The four-goal victory was a huge success for tens of thousands of fans at the Meazza Stadium. Especially the powerful attacking power displayed by the team made people excited to watch.

All Inter Milan fans are convinced that even Roma, known as the most promising team to attack Inter Milan this season, lost 0-4 at San Siro. So looking at the entire Serie A, who else can stop Inter Milan?

After winning the Italian Super Cup, everyone on the team was inexplicably excited, and Gao Han was the same, but it was not just because of a championship trophy, but because Yaya Toure continued his excellent form in the warm-up match.

Although the best player in this game was given to Ibrahimovic, in Gao Han's view, Yaya Toure is the team's most threatening player, especially his sudden penetration, which is very effective. Threat, in the front area of ​​​​the penalty area, his ball handling and long-range shots are powerful weapons for the team to score goals.

Not only that, on the defensive end, his running coverage and defensive ability have also contributed greatly to the team, especially his on-the-spot counterattack after losing the ball, which gave opponents a headache. This is why he is better than Figo. For an outstanding place.

At least Portuguese superstars rarely run and defend as hard as Yaya Toure.

This also made Gao Han further determined to promote Yaya Toure.

I'm really sorry. Recently, something happened at home. I have been running back and forth every day, which is very unstable. Please forgive me, book friends.
