Chapter 345 Two Tigers

On January 5, Inter Milan concentrated again after the winter break.

The nearly two-week break has made all Inter Milan players feel good. Most South American players have returned to the warm South America for vacation, but no one is late. Ronaldo did not think about celebrating the carnival in Brazil, because what he most desires is to win some heavyweight honors this season. For players like Ronaldo, he has not won the top league championship and the Champions League championship yet, which is really embarrassing...

On the training ground, Inter Milan players congratulated Tiger one after another, winning the double-produced footballer, which is the second in Inter Milan's history. In 1997, Ronaldo won the double-produced footballer. Like Tiger, he also joined Inter Milan in the second half of the year.

Tiger was also the third player to win the European Golden Ball Award during his time at Inter Milan. The earliest was Mattus in 1990, and Ronaldo was next. Although Suarez, a midfielder in the Inter Milan era, also won the European Golden Ball Award, it was won when he played for Barcelona. Facheti Mazzola, a famous player in the Inter Milan era, and others failed to win such honors for various reasons. Inter Milan's three footballers have been won by foreign players so far, which seems to be more in line with Inter Milan's image - they are "international" Milan!

Tiger smiled and invited all the players to visit his house. He had already prepared for this, and it was also a good opportunity to promote communication with his teammates.

Joining a team like Inter Milan also has additional pressure for Tiger - unlike joining other giants, Inter Milan has not won the league championship in thirteen years, which is the first time in their club history. In the past, no matter what, every ten years and an era, they will definitely win a league championship during this period. Only in the 1990s did they not win the league championship. In addition, they have introduced many good players in the past decade, but they are always unable to achieve results that match their strength.

The name of Black Hole is already famous. Tiger joins Inter Milan with the halo of World Cup champion and World Cup best player with the halo of World Cup champion and World Cup best player. Everyone is looking forward to him to help Inter Milan make things right and restore his reputation. If Inter Milan still cannot win the league or the Champions League this season, the entire team may fall into a very deadly mood - this is certainly not what Tiger wants to see. His current reputation is closely related to Inter Milan's achievements.

If you have a better relationship with your teammates, you will naturally have a greater grasp of the game.

On that night, all Inter Milan players visited Tiger's home. Although Tiger's home did not have that big space, Ross had long invited an organization dedicated to banquets and entertainment. They used various items to build various tables and chairs in the courtyard. In terms of food, Tiger prepared barbecue grills that South American players like to make themselves (the barbecue gang is not yet in a climate, and the commander is still serving as a substitute in Real Madrid), as well as various traditional Italian and French foods. The highlight was to contact the best Chinese restaurant in Milan and prepare a series of Chinese dishes. Tiger is a mixed Chinese-English race, but the UK really has nothing to show when it comes to eating. In the most miserable series of jokes, the food is about "hiring a British chef"...

In the end, the party was a great pleasure. Sanetti brought a group of South American players to barbecue with great enthusiasm. You should know that Sanetti himself opened a barbecue restaurant in Milan, while European players were more interested in Chinese food, although in many ways, these dishes were not suitable for professional players to eat.

Morati also brought Fachetti to join in the fun, but they also knew that they would make the players feel restrained. They just stayed for a while and chatted with Tiger and said goodbye. But the belated Cooper was not used at all and even roasted a few skewers in person. However, the players who have tasted it generally believe that the head coach's barbecue skills need to be improved...

After a week of rest, Inter Milan ushered in its first game of the New Year, in the 16th round of the league, Inter Milan played against Modena at home.

Vieri has just recovered from injury. To be on the safe side, Cooper put him on the bench and sent a forward combination of Recoba and Ronaldo, Emre was the left forward, Concesan was sent by the right forward, and Almeida was the single midfielder.

Since the beginning of this season, Inter Milan's two old patients, Recoba and Ronaldo, have performed well, and they have not been injured much, which is also a factor in Inter Milan's outstanding performance before. In this game, after receiving assists from Tiger and Concesan, Recoba and Ronaldo each scored a goal in the first half. However, when the first half was about to end, Ronaldo's groin strain was forced to leave the court in a shot, and Cooper was forced to replace him with Caron.

After falling behind two goals, Modena's fight on the court began to become fierce, afraid that Recoba would be injured in the game like Ronaldo. Shortly after the second half, Cooper replaced Recoba with Zanetti and pushed Tiger to the front line. This move brought Inter Milan the third goal. After Tiger broke through, he passed back. Emre's low shot at the front of the penalty area expanded the lead to the third goal. Inter Milan got a good start in the second half of the season.

The next game was the first game of the Italian Cup quarterfinals. Inter Milan encountered a rival Lazio who was not easy to deal with - which made Cooper dare not send most of the substitutes to deal with this game. Tiger and Vieri both appeared. The young player Martins was paired with Vieri on the front line, and Dalma and Concesan were sent out on both wings, and only two central defenders and left-back Koko were rotated.

On Lazio, Mancini did not send out the strongest lineup he had. Colognese, Manfredini, Castroman, Livelani and other substitutes and main substitutes appeared one after another. In such a game of half-main and half-main and half-main and half-bain, Inter Milan had a great chance of winning a away game. Dalma and Martins' goals once helped Inter Milan lead 2-1. However, before the end of the game, Adani's header clearance inexplicably hit Gamala's back and flew into Inter Milan's goal, making the old goalkeeper Fontana sigh...

But even so, the two-to-two score is enough to allow Inter Milan to have the advantage in the two rounds. In the other four games, AC Milan was tied by Chivo at home, Roma defeated Vicenza 2-1 away, and one foot had already entered the semi-finals. Juventus suffered a loss, and the young player Mikoli, who was loaned to Perugia, counterattacked, and two goals helped Perugia defeat Juventus 2-1 away...

In the 17th round of the league, Inter Milan challenged Perugia away, which is also the only team that Inter Milan has never faced in the first round of the league. Perugia is very strange. A typical small team can always overturn some strong teams. It can be called another Barry in Serie A in the early 21st century. Their most proud thing is of course that they defeated Juventus in heavy rain two years ago, which made Lazio win a lucky league championship...

In this league, Inter Milan lost Ronaldo and he had to rest for half a season. Fortunately, Vieri has recovered from injury, and Recoba showed slight signs of fatigue before the game. Cooper could only send Caron and Vieri to partner with the forward line. The substitute forwards sitting on the bench were young players Martins and Corradi. Inter Milan has seven forwards, but three of them have been injured.

Cooper had considered letting Tiger push the forward line, but when he thought that the midfield still needed Tiger to organize, he gave up this idea, and this move almost made Inter Milan lose his first league game of the season!

In the ninth minute, Mikoli's shot hit Cordoba's hand. Although there was no possibility of handball, the referee still awarded a penalty. Zemaria took the penalty kick. In the 31st minute, Frizas received a cross from Grosso and then scored twice with a header suspected of handball. Perugia led two goals in the first half.

Both goals have certain problems, but Inter Milan is actually behind two goals away...

During the break, Cooper made an adjustment. Dalma replaced Caron and Tiger pushed the forward line. However, ten minutes after the second half, Perugia made a wonderful quick counterattack. Mikoli received a pass from Fosani in front of the goal and pushed the ball, three to zero...

Although Inter Milan was behind three goals in the game against Lazio, it was in the first half, and soon after, he quickly scored a point and scored two goals in the second half to equalize the score. But now it is the second half, Inter Milan's offense always lacks some luck, and there are only more than 30 minutes left...

Coladi replaced Zanetti in the midfield and Cooper was about to make a last move.

Perugia began to retreat under Scí's command. Although Inter Milan had two centers in the frontcourt, the huge lead gave Kosmi a huge confidence!

What makes him even more confident is that although Inter Milan's midfield core Tiger has performed well so far, it is a bit average...

But it is obvious that in this case, it is when Tiger explodes.

There were two center forwards in the penalty area, Emre and Dalma behind him, and Dibiagio was defending behind him. Tiger's position became even higher and he kept using his own breakthrough to tear Perugia's defense!

Perugia's defenders are not good people, but Tiger reacts very quickly. He can always avoid the opponent's defense and torture Perugia's defense with his own skills and speed. When the opponent starts to focus on himself, he will quickly pass the ball to his teammates to create opportunities...

"Tiger under normal circumstances, Tiger, who is behind or in a deadlock, seems to be two players... The former Tiger always seems so calm and has the demeanor of a general. He will organize the offense slowly in the midfield and patiently dispatch his own attack and the opponent's defense. At this time, seeing Tiger's performance is like enjoying a symphony, refreshing and refreshing, making people intoxicated without realizing it. But when his team is in trouble, Tiger's style completely changes, and at this time he will be like his name.

Like, it's a tiger on the court! It keeps roaring, rushing, tearing the opponent's defense line, making people's blood burst out, just like watching a heavy metal rock concert on site! There are actually many players as outstanding as him, but they are suitable for both movement and stillness. He always shows two almost completely different styles on the court, and he is the only one. Maybe this is one of the factors that makes him quickly become the best player in the world within a few years. After he is fully mature, few teams can stop him from performing on the court... "

After the game, Milan Sports Daily commented on Tiger.

***************************************************

The upper body shook twice quickly. After causing Grosso's center of gravity to shift, Tiger quickly hit his feet and rushed over Grosso, who was one meter tall, and then he shortened his body before the two defenders formed a clamping attack and broke into the penalty area!

This was the third time Tiger successfully dribbled into the penalty area in just ten minutes. Although Perugia's defense was admirably maintained intact, chaos still occurred at this time!

Just when the three defenders were about to double-team, Tiger picked the ball to the back point, and Corradi, who inserted it, tried hard to hit the goalkeeper and headed the ball into the empty goal, and Inter Milan scored a point!

Corady pushed the ball into the goal, and Vieri immediately rushed into the goal and picked up the ball, then turned around and ran near the center circle!

This is also the most significant change in Inter Milan's temperament this season - they will not give up any offensive opportunities, so there will be no chance to win, and they are willing to do their best for a possible point!

In fact, this is also the most lacking temperament in Inter Milan in the past. Although the last season failed, Ronaldo and Vieri were injured and unable to play for most of the time, Cooper forced the team to lead the team with Caron and Ventola, a pair that looked extremely popular among the giant teams, and often they relied on this mentality of "if you can't get three points, you have to fight that point to the death"!

Later, Inter Milan fans once summarized the characteristics of Inter Milan's most representative head coach in the early 21st century, that is, "Cooper shapes resilience, Mancho brings stability, and Munniao completes sublimation". The team's character that has to compete with the other party no matter what, was gradually accumulated in the Cooper era, although in that period of history, he did not bring even a cup of Italian champion to Inter Milan.

After recovering a point, Inter Milan's offensive became even more fierce. Just five minutes later, Emre forced a breakthrough on the wing and made a cross. Corady ferryed to Vieri. Vieri failed to support his strength under the control of the opponent's players. However, after the ball fell, Tiger, who suddenly stepped forward, suddenly shot and scored the ball into the goal. This was Tiger's twelfth league goal this season, tied Vieri's league goal again!

There are fifteen minutes left before the end of the game. With Inter Milan's current momentum, it seems that equalizing the score is only a matter of time, and it is not even rare to win. Perugia's defensive formation has begun to be a little messy, and they have no strength to attack again now...

However, at this time, Dibiagio's slightly reckless tackle in the midfield made him get his second yellow card and was sent off with a red card. The balance began to tilt towards Perugia, who has the advantage in numbers and scores!

Cooper made a painful substitution, he replaced Emre with Almeida. No player with no defense at the front of the penalty area can do...

Perugia, who attacked with the trend, once again took the initiative on the field. However, in this case, Tiger still showed his value. He intercepted the ball in the midfield and then sent a beautiful straight pass. Vieri dribbled the ball into the penalty area and was knocked down by Karachi, and the penalty kick!

Vieri took the penalty and scored his 13th league goal, and Inter Milan equalized the score!

Although Inter Milan players who consumed too much physical fitness in the subsequent games were unable to rewrite the score again, they defended Perugia's crazy counterattack, and Tiger, who retreated to the midfield, helped defend several times, and even contributed two steals to help Inter Milan keep the draw until the end of the game and continue to maintain the unbeaten record of this season!

Unbeaten in the half-time! Although this unbeaten seems so dangerous in this game, Inter Milan still achieved an unbeaten record in the half-time. The 15-win and two draws scored 47 points were also the highest half-time points after the implementation of the three-point system in Serie A!

"Two consecutive times equalizing the score with three goals behind, this Inter Milan is so terrifying... A top team can maintain at least one draw in such an unfavorable situation. Such a team is terrible. At least even three goals behind, it is hard to imagine any more difficult situations that will make them lose... Before the Champions League rekindled the battle, they could focus all their attention in the league. They are now nine points ahead of AC Milan, eleven points ahead of Lazio and twelve points ahead of Juventus. This advantage is enough to make them more at ease in the league. It is not yet said that Inter Milan will definitely win the league championship, but their advantages are already quite large."

"What Inter Milan needs to do now is to try to win mid- and lower-level teams, so that even if they guarantee a draw or even lose a few games against Juventus, Milan, Roma Lazio, they will not shake their advantage. The only thing that can stop Inter Milan may be the only injury."

"What is even more surprising is that Tiger, as an offensive player, can perform equally well after retreating and helping defend. Buying Tiger is perhaps the most cost-effective deal for Inter Milan."
