Super Marshal

"What?" Boas asked concerned.

He still admires Mourinho.

Mourinho looked at the Inter Milan players celebrating on the court and sighed softly, "Slow down."

Boas's eyes immediately lit up and he understood what Mourinho meant.

The reason why Inter Milan was able to suppress Barcelona from the beginning was that Gao Han's early attack directly accelerated the pace of the game, and more importantly, he scored a goal.

Facing Gao Han and Inter Milan, Barcelona was already trembling. A conceding goal made them unbalanced and eager to equalize the score, because they knew very well that their opponents were the undefeated Gao Han and Inter Milan.

But Inter Milan took advantage of Barcelona's psychology and continued to maintain a high-pressure situation, causing Barcelona to make frequent mistakes in the fast pace, and then used these mistakes to frequently create counterattacks.

Looking at the three goals in this game, it can be said that they are almost the same.

On the other hand, Barcelona's physical fitness is not as good as that of their opponents, so they must slow down the pace, ensure the success rate of passing, stabilize their position first, and then slowly and patiently look for opportunities, instead of blindly playing fast breaks with their opponents.

In a fast-paced transition between offense and defense, ball possession is poison.

"I still remember Sir Robson once said that every team and every player has a time when they are in good condition, strong and amazing. At this time, you are omnipotent, but it is not true. , is not worthy of belief, but it is you who is in a bad state and very weak, who is the most real, and the test at that time is the real test."

Villas-Boas showed a thoughtful look. Apparently after watching this game, combined with Mourinho's words, he was greatly touched and remembered a lot of things.

"Everyone knows that Inter Milan is good at passing and controlling, but when Inter Milan met Barcelona, ​​which is better at passing and controlling, Gao Han decisively abandoned the advantages he had established for a long time and combined his own circumstances to turn the original disadvantage into an advantage."

Mourinho said enough was enough, but everyone could hear that this game also touched him deeply.

After losing possession of the ball, Gao Han took this high-position pressing to a new level, especially the use of Yaya Toure.

This African midfielder with an almost beast-like physical fitness has played a very obvious role in Inter Milan's midfield. He spared no effort in running and covering the frontcourt, and he pressed hard and tenaciously, allowing Barcelona to open the first half of the game. There were a surprising number of pass-and-catch errors on the hour.

If the front trident completely suppressed Barcelona's defense, then the midfielder of Yaya Toure and Veron completely disrupted Barcelona's midfield. They may not be able to grab the ball, but they can disrupt Barcelona's midfield. The smooth passing forced them to make frequent passing and receiving errors.

"If I'm not wrong, this should be his first-hand preparation for the Champions League." Mourinho guessed.

Preparations made in advance?

Boas and others were secretly surprised.

Yaya Toure joined Inter Milan last summer, and at that time the Nerazzurri were still playing in the UEFA Cup, and in Serie A, Inter Milan was also below Juventus and AC Milan. Could it be that, that At that time, Gao Han already had strong confidence, could he lead Inter Milan to defeat a strong enemy?

If so, is that too much of an exaggeration?

Is he really that confident?

But the facts are right in front of them, how can they not believe it?

"Study this game carefully, and then we will use this trick against Barcelona."

Mourinho's eyes flashed with a sharp look.

Although he always said he was dissatisfied with Gao Han, if he could learn the tricks to defeat Barcelona from Gao Han, then he wouldn't mind stealing from Gao Han. No one would know about it anyway, right?

Thirty minutes into the game, Rijkaard finally made an adjustment.

As if Barcelona had been completely awakened by Inter Milan, they began to consciously slow down the pace, patiently passing the ball back and forth in the midfield and backcourt, first stabilizing the team's rhythm, and then slowly advancing.

Gao Han also quickly saw the clues, immediately adjusted his tactics and began to retreat.

With three goals in hand, he really doesn't need to fight Barcelona, ​​and Inter Milan's defense is not weak.

Facts have proved that although Barcelona has possession of the ball, it is really impossible to break through Inter Milan's defense.

The main reason is that many main players are in really bad shape, especially the two aces Ronaldinho and Eto'o. Midfielders Deco and Xavi are also suppressed by Yaya Toure. The performance was mediocre and he didn't create many chances.

On the contrary, when the game lasted for 77 minutes, Inter Milan once again fought back.

Cannavaro made a long pass from the backcourt. Ibrahimovic grabbed the first spot and headed the ball over. Yaya Toure quickly stepped in and grabbed the ball. After grabbing the ball, he staged a long-distance attack in the Barcelona penalty area. After passing Puyol, he suddenly shot. Goalkeeper Valdes couldn't react in time and watched the ball go into the net, 4-0.

The game ended with a score of 4-0, and Inter Milan won their first victory in the new European season.

When the news spread, not only the entire European football world, but fans all over the world were shocked by Inter Milan's performance.

After defeating the defending Champions League champions 4-0, Inter Milan is on the verge of a strong rebound.

For a time, all the media and fans sang praises for Inter Milan. Some media even publicly stated that Inter Milan is the strongest contender for the Champions League championship this season.

Many gambling companies such as William Hill and Betwin have given Inter Milan very high winning odds, even higher than the traditional giants Real Madrid and Manchester United, but only slightly behind the defending champion Barcelona.

In an interview with the media, Barcelona head coach Rijkaard also said that Inter Milan is the strongest team he has encountered so far since he coached Barcelona, ​​and will be the most powerful contender for the Champions League championship this season.

"We deserved to lose this game, and we did lose so badly that we have nothing to say. I can only say that Inter Milan was too good."

In addition to head coach Frank Rijkaard, players such as Deco, Ronaldinho and Eto'o also publicly praised the Inter Milan coached by Gao Han and considered it an amazing team.

Barcelona captain Puyol also praised Gao Han, but also called on his teammates to remain calm.

"The reason why we were able to achieve brilliant results in the past was because we were a united whole. Now we have suffered a big defeat, but this is not necessarily a bad thing. We can tear everything down and start from scratch. As long as we are united, I don’t believe that’s a problem at all.”

In any case, Inter Milan defeated Barcelona 4-0 in the European Super Cup, making Inter Milan the most popular club in Europe.

Countless fans and media reporters around the world are eagerly watching whether Gao Han can continue his past brilliant record and continue to show off his talents in the Champions League.

You know, in the past three years, European football has also been full of talents.

In addition to familiar old faces such as Ferguson, Wenger, Capello and Ancelotti, there are also young coaches such as Mourinho, Benitez, Rijkaard and Magath. These people have achieved great results in the past. Had quite brilliant achievements.

Many media reporters have analyzed that if Gao Han wants to win the Champions League, he will face a more competitive environment than when he coached Atletico Madrid, and it will be more difficult.

At the very least, in the past few years, Gao Han's pass-and-control style of play has been increasingly valued by people, and there are even wealthy teams like Barcelona that are better than others.

Everyone believes that as long as Rijkaard adjusts the team's condition, the outcome will be uncertain if they fight again in the future.

Chelsea head coach Mourinho also said in an interview with The Sun that in the European Super Cup, Inter Milan's performance was not as strong as the score showed, and Barcelona was not as weak as the score showed.

"In that game, it was not so much Inter Milan beating Barcelona as it was Barcelona beating itself."

"Playing four games in seven days, anyone would lose miserably."

The implication of Mourinho's words is obvious, Inter Milan's victory was just a big bargain.

The Portuguese madman's remarks immediately brought him a round of controversy.

As the European Super Cup comes to an end, the European summer transfer market has also come to an end.

In the analysis of the European transfer market situation calculated by the media, everyone is shocked by the decline of Serie A.

According to statistics, there were a total of 23 transfers worth more than 10 million euros in the summer transfer market. Among them, in addition to AC Milan’s introduction of striker Oliveira from Real Betis of La Liga for 15 million euros, Serie A There is no second transfer expenditure in the league exceeding 10 million euros.

This shocked everyone, and they all clearly realized that the glory of Serie A's mini-World Cup has declined.

With the relegation of Juventus, AC Milan tightened their money. Zambrotta, Emerson, Vieira, Thuram, Capello and other superstars and coaches left Serie A. The once glorious Apennines It will enter a situation where Inter Milan is the dominant player.

Especially under Gao Han's coaching, Inter Milan will completely dominate Serie A.

While Serie A is gradually declining, La Liga is quietly rising.

The top three of Barcelona, ​​Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid are already obvious.

In the entire summer transfer market, La Liga has invested a total of more than 300 million euros. It is the league with the largest investment in European football and the most luxurious league. It ranks first in the UEFA league rankings and can be said to be the successor to After Serie A, there is another mini World Cup league.

Also showing amazing purchasing power is the Premier League.

Teams such as Chelsea, Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur, Arsenal, Liverpool and Everton have all invested a lot of money in the summer transfer market, which has made everyone see the strong financial resources of Premier League teams.

More importantly, in recent years, the Premier League has also actively attracted famous European coaches such as Wenger, Benitez, Gao Han and Mourinho to coach, and its style has gradually become more mainland-based, coupled with the introduction of powerful players. With powerful stars, this will definitely make Premier League teams more competitive in the European arena.

As for the Bundesliga, after years of adjustment and transformation, it has gradually gotten rid of the operating difficulties of previous years and gradually found its own business path.

Only Serie A, in just one summer, although it won a World Cup championship, it also suffered an astonishing decline.

Therefore, after Inter Milan defeated Barcelona and won the European Super Cup, there began to be calls in Italy, hoping that Inter Milan could raise the banner of Serie A and make a difference in the Champions League.

Just like Italy winning the World Cup.
