Super Marshal
Chapter 430: He is our savior!
On the evening of April 6, 2005, San Siro Stadium in Milan, Italy.
Gao Han, accompanied by Lin Xia, sat in the stands where Inter Milan fans were, watching the first round of the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals knockout round, AC Milan's home derby against Inter Milan.
Zaccheroni’s team did not perform well in Serie A and wanted to make a difference in the Champions League, so this game played the main force and put a lot of effort in the lineup arrangement. It has become a more secure four-four-two formation.
Looking back at Ancelotti's AC Milan, they continue to steadily adopt a 4, 3, 12 formation to keep changing.
As deadly enemies in the same city, both sides are very familiar with each other, and targeted tactics are also in place.
For AC Milan's most threatening player Kaka, Inter Milan defended very tightly and did not give the Brazilians the slightest chance.
The same is true for AC Milan. The double center back composed of Nesta and Stam, and the double forward composed of Ibrahimovic and Martins also defended well, especially Ibrahimovic. .
But even so, the Swedish center still got an excellent opportunity in the first half. After receiving a pass from the right, relying on his personal ability, he turned around and swung past Cafu and Gattuso after taking the ball. The foot pushes the far corner.
But this exquisite shot was thrown out by the opponent's goalkeeper Dida.
This was a big blow to Inter Milan, and 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, one to zero.
In the stands, after seeing Stam’s goal, Gao Han shook his head and sighed.
"Inter Milan is miserable!"
"Isn't there still the second half?" Lin Xia asked strangely.
Judging from the performance of the first half, the two teams did not get too many opportunities. Although AC Milan scored, Inter Milan is more threatening, especially Ibrahimovic.
"It's a question of mentality." Gao Han shook his head. "Strictly speaking, Inter Milan played better in the first half, but failed to break AC Milan's goal. Instead, the opponent scored the goal and was eager to win in the second half. ,I am afraid……"
In the past few years, mentality problems have been plagued Inter Milan.
In fact, in terms of card strength, Inter Milan is not bad at all, but it is always a little worse. The reason is that the Nerazzurri lacks a strong temperament.
Or it should be said, this team lacks the determination to win.
"Zaccheroni is looking forward to the Champions League, so do the players. He fell behind by a goal in the first half and will definitely have to counterattack in the second half. But Ancelotti is a famous old tortoise. When will he not guard at this time? "
After finished speaking, Gao Han sighed with a wry smile.
Sometimes, in some matches, a goal is already divided.
But in fact, Zaccheroni's adjustments were faster and more sudden than Gao Han expected.
In the second half, Inter Milan not only pressed out to attack, but also replaced Ibrahimovic with Vieri in the 50th minute, which made the alpine in the stands cry out.
After Ibrahimović joined Inter Milan, he scored fewer goals than he did at Chelsea. Even in the Champions League, there were no results. This also made Ibrahimović, who joined heavily before the season, prepared. Be criticized.
Ibrahimović in the front, Cannavaro in the back, and the two generals of Inter Milan are always scolded.
Zacheroni replaced Ibrahimovic with Vieri at this time. It was obvious that he wanted to strengthen the attack, but he was replaced just after halftime, which was really a blow to morale.
And Ibrahimovic seems to have not scored, but he is the most threatening player on the pitch.
As expected, after Ibrahimović left the field, he threw Zachroni angrily and went straight into the player's channel. No one could see his chest full of anger.
On the contrary, after the substitution, Inter Milan played even less threateningly. Instead, in the 74th minute, Pirlo used a corner kick to assist Shevchenko with another goal to help AC Milan finally 2-0. Defeated the enemy in the same city.
In this way, AC Milan almost reached the semifinals with one foot.
Gao Han sat among the Inter Milan fans and kept shaking his head.
The reason why AC Milan can win is due to the excellent defense of the Rossoneri, especially the defensive limit of the double center back composed of Nesta and Stam against Ibrahimovic, and Martini's garrison on the left side of Martini. Si's markings are quite adequate.
In contrast to Inter Milan, the offense is lackluster, and the defense is also full of mistakes.
Cannavaro has a lot of problems this season. Zaccheroni used the combination of Cordova 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, he was eager to counterattack, focusing on offense and defensive, so that AC Milan’s offensive threatened the goal again and again, and the double center defenders were almost exhausted.
Of course, Inter Milan is not without commendable place, 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 it makes the cold of the long absence quite bright.
Zanetti is another commendable player in the Inter Milan midfield. As Cambiasso's deputy, his performance is also remarkable, and Stankovic's performance is also quite good.
These three Inter Milan midfielders, together with Van der Meade on the flank, are more inclined to pass and move without the ball. They also actively take high positions, but this has also caused Inter Milan’s defense to repeatedly appear flaws.
At first glance, AC Milan’s two goals are set kicks, but before that, the Rossoneri used counterattacks to create Inter Milan fouls, which is obviously not accidental.
It should be said that Ancelotti is still very old and cunning, seeming to play pass and control, but in his heart he is defensive and counterattack. First he is invincible, and then waits for Inter Milan to make a mistake. The final blow is fatal.
On the other hand, Inter Milan, playing high defense, playing pass control is not a problem, the problem is that his own offensive is not good and the defense is not strong enough, and the pass and control play has not played well.
Under the circumstances that Juventus and AC Milan are so strong, coach Inter Milan...
"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. It quickly appeared in major media reports in Italy and even Europe, and the response even overshadowed the derby in the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
Everyone knows that Zaccheroni’s dismissal is a foregone conclusion, but Gao Han suddenly appeared at this time. Is it to coach Inter Milan?
The Italian media and the Inter Milan fans were all boiling over.
That's alpine!
Since his debut, he has maintained an unstoppable winning streak. If he comes to coach Inter Milan, won't the victory and the championship be easy to come by?
It is interesting to note that when the outside world has hyped Alpine to coach Inter Milan, the Nerazzurri management did not stand up again to refute the rumors and support coach Zachroni.
On the contrary, it was Swedish center Ibrahimovic. In an interview with Gazzetta dello Sport, he said publicly that he welcomes Gao Han to coach Inter Milan. "The boss is a magical head coach. He has a very unique charm that makes all players They are willing to work hard for him, and he will give his players trust with all his heart."
The media understood that this was a move by Ibrahimovic to bomb Zachroni to replace him at halftime.
But after Ibrahimović, center Cannavaro also accepted media interviews, but he was not as straightforward as the Swedish center, but only implicitly said, "Alpine is a coach that all professional players can hardly refuse! "
But soon, Gao Han’s agent, Mendes, stepped up to clarify, saying that Gao Han was not here to watch the Milan Derby.
"He was traveling around the world with his wife, and recently happened to be in Italy."
Unexpectedly, although Mendes’ clarification resolved the problems of Inter Milan, it caused great trouble to Gao Han, because the Italian media began to frantically search for his traces, so that he originally planned to have a good time in Italy. In the end, he had to temporarily change his plan and fled Italy.
But the progress of the game did not deviate from Gao Han's judgment.
After Inter Milan lost 2-0 to AC Milan in the first round, after returning to home in the second round, they lost the ball again and fell behind. Even in the final period of the game, the Inter Milan fans in the stands dropped fireworks and hit AC. Milan's goalkeeper Dida ended the game early.
The fans’ uncomfortable move caused Inter Milan to be severely criticized by the media at home and abroad, as well as UEFA. The latter even sentenced Inter Milan to a zero to three loss in this game, and even nearly banned Inter Milan from participating in the next game. European events of the season.
So far, Inter Milan finally lost to AC Milan with a total score of zero to five.
After losing the Milan Derby, the Nerazzurri's morale fell sharply. After returning to the Serie A, they lost to Messina and fell out of the top four in the league. Although their performance improved after that, they chased all the way, but in the end they also Failed to regain the top four.
After 38 rounds, Inter Milan finished fifth and was forced to participate in the UEFA Cup next season.
This makes all Inter Milan fans unsatisfied, and even the coach Zaccheroni himself is disappointed.
After the end of the season, the Nerazzurri president Facchetti announced that Zaccheroni will be dismissed. The team will start looking for a new coach and promised to reorganize the team, hoping to build a more competitive team around the new coach. Inter Milan ~lightnovelpub.net~ This news immediately caused an uproar all over the world. Numerous Nerazzurri fans are eagerly looking forward to the arrival of the new coach, especially the long-rumored Alpine.
There is even an Inter Milan fan club organizing a public fundraising, bought the entire page in Gazzetta dello Sport, and issued an appeal, hoping that the management can pay a lot of money to hire Gao Han.
"He is our savior!"
However, some media said that the head coach that Inter Milan really fancy is Lazio Marshal Mancini, who had a scandal with Inter Milan last summer, and Mannich also said in an interview with the media that it is difficult for him to refuse. Invitation from Inter Milan.
Suddenly, rumors about the new coach of Inter Milan are endless and confusing. It has become a big suspense in European football in summer, attracting the eager attention of fans all over the world.
It was in this disturbing hype atmosphere that Gao Han finally ended his vacation and returned to Madrid with Lin Xia.
And the first person to find Gao Han's house turned out to be...
