Sweeping Besiktas 6:0, Inter Milan became the most popular team in the first round of the UEFA Champions League group.

Especially when the three forwards in the team scored goals together, the whole of Europe was amazed.

Is this still the star black hole of the past, and is Inter Milan bullied by everyone?

Is this still the weak Inter Milan that all European giants are happy to encounter?

There is no doubt that after this game, everyone has to re-estimate, that is, whether they can block Inter Milan's attack!

But Barcelona doesn't seem to be willing to let Inter Milan be the first to be the first. They beat Leeds United 4-0 at home. Although the young Premier League guards have powerful players such as Woodgate, Ferdinand, Robbie Keane, Mark Viduca, Alan Smith, they still cannot be satisfied at the Camp Nou Stadium. They were pulled by Barcelona in the whole game.

It can be said that this game of Leeds United once again exposed a fact that everyone has to admit. Premier League teams do not lack strength, fighting spirit, or tenacity, but they lack something.

Rhythm!

For a time, the H Group, which was originally known as the Death Group, immediately became a two-way club. Leeds United suffered a devastating defeat and was automatically kicked out of the qualifying ranks by the media. Besiktas was never favored, so Inter Milan and Barcelona automatically entered the qualifying ranks.

The key is, who can beat whom!

After all, both teams are eager to prove themselves again, especially Gaspart, who gave Ferrer a hard target to enter the semi-finals of the Champions League, but he did not see that Barcelona had lost Figo and Rivaldo one after another, but they were introduced by Alfonso, Simung and others.

I believe Ferrer is starting to understand his good friend, Van Gaal's former depression now!

After the first round of the group match, Inter Milan began to fully prepare for the second round.

This is a privilege for Serie A teams, that is, they can focus on the first three rounds of the Champions League without being distracted by the league, so Serie A teams performed well in the first round.

Lazio defeated Donetsk Miners 3-0 away, and the two forward combinations of Vieri and Rivaldo showed unparalleled lethality, but Juventus drew 4-4 away with Kaiserslautern.

Yang Cheng watched the recording of this game. Juventus' three defenders looked very embarrassed in front of Kaiserslautern. Larson performed very well and was selected as the best in the game. However, Yang Cheng felt that what really played the role was Kaiserslautern's new midfield core, Deco!

This midfielder who still failed to be shortlisted for the Brazilian national team soon took over the banner of Kaiserslautern's midfield organization after Peron left. He performed very comprehensively in this game against Juventus, both offense and defense.

But he is not like Bellon. He is in a higher position, shorter pass distance and more deadly. However, his defense is also good, with outstanding running ability, and has thoroughly implemented the running system left by Yang Cheng.

Seeing that his former disciples performed well, Yang Cheng felt proud. After all, this group of players was cultivated by him. Even if he is not their head coach now, everyone will think of Yang Cheng when they mention them!

After training at the Pinetina base for 5 days, Inter Milan came to Leeds, England in advance.

Since the Italian Olympic team did not have been eliminated from the group stage as Yang Cheng cursed, but reached the quarterfinals all the way, the group of Inter Milan still could not catch up with the second leg of the Champions League group stage.

Fortunately, there are no other events now, so Yang Cheng's 17-man lineup is still able to handle it.

September 19, Elland Road Stadium

The players on the court were fighting fiercely, and the fans in the stands were also not idle.

"Hey, Inter Milan is just a guy with greasy and flour. Tear Inter Milan and tear these soft eggs down!"

"Shovel his feet, Ronaldo is a soft cock, Leo, shovel at his feet, don't be polite to him!"

"Baggio is no longer possible. He is old and knocks him, Dacott, knocks this weak Italian!"

"David...Batty!! You have Bati, we have Bati, we have Bati...You are Batistuta, we are David...Batty!"

Yang Cheng stood under the stands and endured the roar of Leeds United fans in the stands. He had to admit that from the home atmosphere alone, the Premier League team is indeed better than the Italian team, especially in various slogans.

But it has to be admitted that Leeds United's performance is indeed surprising.

In the first leg, O'Reilly's team made a good adjustment. Even at home, they still resolutely played defensive counterattacks, using Eric Buck, David Barty and Dacott to form a midfield defensive lineup, with Woodgate and Ferdinand behind them. Later, they were Nair Martin, who put the future England first goalkeeper Paul Robinson on the bench.

Leeds United's counterattack routine is to use Cowell on the wing and Alan Smith in front. For this reason, O'Reilly gave up the unfast Viduca and switched to Alan Smith, who was more desperate and hardworking.

This is a typical lineup where I am not as strong as you, so I will use my diligence to fill it.

Yang Cheng didn't have many ways to do this.

"It's already the 60th minute of the second half. Inter Milan still seems to have not found a way to break through Leeds United's defense, but Leeds United has never been able to counterattack. Kewell and Alan Smith are more involved in defense and pressing in the midfield and frontcourt, rather than looking for opportunities to counterattack!"

"On Elland Road, Leeds United is the protagonist. They definitely don't want to see Inter Milan raging here. O'Reilly's tactics are very clear, blocking Inter Milan's attack and ensuring points!"

The live commentator obviously appreciates Leeds United's fighting spirit.

Indeed, although there are no goals in this kind of game, the game will definitely not be boring because the confrontation between the two sides is very fierce.

Yang Cheng glanced at Leeds United's bench, Lee Bowyer, Viduka, Robbie Keane...

After Yang Cheng changed history, Robbie Keane transferred directly from Coventry to Leeds United. This was something Yang Cheng never thought of, but he could only sit on the bench here, and Alan Smith was the darling of Elland Road.

"It's so full of talents!" Yang Cheng smiled bitterly.

The English team has a tough style and many fouls. This is Leeds United's home court, so there will definitely be some advantages. In addition, they are based on defense, Inter Milan will inevitably encounter difficulties.

He also glanced at his bench. Recoba was the only one who could adjust his tactics, but he was still waiting.

After thinking about it, Yang Cheng came to the sidelines and waved at Emerson on the field, and the latter quickly leaned over.

"Wait for Zanetti to come forward and play the right forward, Nedved's position as the left winger, so he can move forward a little further, and play three defenders from behind, so Luciodo stares at the point, and the forward line remains unchanged, do you understand?"

Emerson drank the water, nodded constantly, turned around and went back.

Zanetti can play many positions. After Yang Cheng gave him a positive answer, Inter Milan immediately took advantage of the opportunity to die and made a position adjustment, but simply from the scene, there was really no way to see much.

Everyone suddenly discovered that when Inter Milan's left back had reached the right side after Cowell broke through and was successfully tackled and intercepted by Sanetti in the midfield?

Cowell is a very good player. Although Yang Cheng doesn't like Australia and Australian players, he has to admit that his skills are very detailed and he masters the timing of breaking through the wings very well, especially his forced inward cuts and long shots on the wings, which is his weapon of fame.

So he asked Sanetti to play the right forward, and then Inter Milan focused on attacking from the left, which was Nedved's side.

With this adjustment, Inter Milan's tactic immediately became 343. Van Nicht and Ronaldo were still at the forefront, and Baggio was in the center, but they were more likely to go to the right, giving Nedvedra a gap and opportunity.

This change of formation immediately brought some unexpected effects to Leeds United.

Nedved's main function of the left winger position is not to cross from the bottom, because the Czechs' ability to attack on the wing is actually not strong, so Yang Cheng naturally would not let him do things he is not good at. His main responsibility on the left is to cut inward.

In the 72nd minute, Inter Milan took the ball in the middle, Emerson controlled the ball, passed it back and forth with Van Bomel, turned around and leaned to the left, Leeds United's overall defense immediately tilted to his right, targeting Inter Milan's left.

But at this moment, Baggio directly retreated, as if he wanted to respond to Emerson. However, Brazil's midfielder took the ball forward, and Ronaldo also pulled out of the penalty area to raise his hand and demanded, but his position was closer to the middle.

Emerson handed it directly to Baggio, who passed Dacott who followed him back to defend and passed the ball to Ronaldo's feet.

Inter Milan's two passes were very fast, especially the moment the ball was passed from Emerson, the players around Inter Milan started to move, and Nedved even ran from the left to the middle.

Ronaldo got the ball, and Ferdinand was following behind him. He couldn't turn around, but knocked the ball horizontally.

The ball passed behind David Barty and others and came to the left side of the penalty area arc. Nedved ran over, and Leeds United's right defender Mills once again exposed his illness. He did not keep up with Nedved at the critical moment, causing the Czechs to run to the front of the penalty area to get the ball, but there was no defense around him.

This is definitely a godsend opportunity for Nedved.

When he saw the Czech man swing his foot, he heard a thud and shot with a shocking shot. The ball was like a shell. Nair Martin, who performed steadily in the whole game, responded again. He appeared in the vital position in time and flew directly.

He did make a pounce, but Nedved's shot was very powerful. The Czech shot from Bundesliga to Serie A was famous. Nair Martin rushed to swinging and could not control the football firmly.

At this moment, Leeds United fans in the stands at Elland Road Stadium turned from their original amazement to the entrance of Mulberry again, and all said, "Ah!!"

Get out of hand!!

Immediately afterwards, Martin fell to the ground, and then he saw a player wearing a blue and black jersey appear on the right side of the goal. Facing the ball that Martin swept down, he easily hooked his left foot, stopped the ball, and then shot with one and a half high shot.

Woodgate tried desperately to block the ball, and even used the difficult move of the upside-down gold hook, but unfortunately, his upside-down gold hook failed to hook the ball. After he landed, he got up again and saw the Dutchman running out in excitement.

After Fanny scored the goal, he opened his arms excitedly and made a flying move, which he had never done before.

"Uh... this is Fanny's so-called new celebration move?" Yang Cheng was relatively calm about the goal, but he frowned at Fanny's celebration move.

"Yes, that's right!" Paul Bayer was as excited as ever. As long as the team he played for scored, he would be excited. Sometimes he couldn't even tell the reason himself.

"Why do you look like Montera's glider celebration?" Yang Cheng muttered, "It's so unoriginal!"

"Different!" But Paul Baier was anxious with him, "His arms are higher, Fanny's is lower, I gave him a name, Flying Dutch!"

Yang Cheng's face was suddenly full of darkness, "Oh, it turns out that it was what you thought... No wonder it was so bad!"

In the last half of the sentence, he said secretly, and Moniz and others who heard it laughed.

In this kind of game, it is undoubtedly decisive to score a goal!

"Alvaro!" Yang Cheng turned around and shouted.

"I'm here, boss!" Recoba immediately jumped from the bench.

"Warm up, come on the court in 5 minutes!"

Recoba immediately rushed out like a sharp arrow.

Before, he didn't make any substitutions, he replaced him as soon as he scored a goal, and replaced Baggio, who performed well. Yang Cheng's actions once again made O'Reilly's adjustments go away.

After Recoba came on the court, Inter Milan returned to the 4312 tactics, because Yang Cheng knew very well that Leeds United would counterattack after conceding the ball, so he not only returned to the 4312 tactics, but also retreated the defense line.

The attack is handed over to Recoba!

The Uruguayan began to gain the greatest power in the frontcourt. He could dribble the ball on the wing and middle ground according to his own observations and frequently break through Leeds United's defense line. Often, as long as he made a breakthrough and immediately pass the ball decisively, Ronaldo and Van Nicht would always get the opportunity, creating a panic for Leeds United's defense line.

In this case, Leeds United had to consider the price of counterattack.

Yang Cheng quickly made another adjustment and replaced the goal-scoring hero with the God of War Batistuta, the flying Dutchman Van Nie.
