Roma's strength is pretty good, and it's not surprising that they were able to draw with Inter Milan away from home.
But the real surprise is that it was not Roma who drew with Inter Milan, but Inter Milan who drew with Roma.
Throughout the entire game, before Mexes was sent off with a red card, Roma completely dominated the field. Mancini's team was at home, but they were never able to show off the momentum of Serie A's leader.
The Nerazzurri seemed to have been completely disoriented and lost their direction in the game against Liverpool.
Former Inter Milan captain Bergomi commented in the media after the game that losing the Champions League was a huge blow to Inter Milan.
The reason is just as Gao Shen said before.
Serie A has never been the goal of Inter Milan, as if no one would regard what they have in their hands as a goal.
From the beginning of this season, even after Calciopoli, Inter Milan had only one goal from beginning to end, and that was the Champions League.
Moratti wants to win a Champions League and fulfill one of his dreams.
It can be said that the Champions League is Inter Milan's real goal this season.
But now, this goal has basically been sentenced to death.
Therefore, the media and fans began to discover that Mancini could no longer suppress the conflicts in the locker room. Ibrahimovic gave him a slap in the face, and Vieira refused to shake his hand on the spot, and even shouted in front of him.
The whole box of drinks was kicked away, and Materazzi made frequent mistakes...
It seems that in a very short period of time, all the conflicts and conflicts broke out at once...
Bergomi said that's not the case.
In the past, the team had a unified goal, and everyone was working hard for this goal. Many contradictions and conflicts were suppressed. But now, this goal is suddenly lost, and everything cannot be suppressed, and everything breaks out.
Out.
Bergomi believes that Mancini has never solved some of the stubborn problems in Inter Milan's locker room, nor has he solved some of the team's technical and tactical problems, which has led to Inter Milan's current bad situation.
The former captain of Inter Milan was very worried and reminded Mancini and Inter Milan that they must win Naples in the 26th round.
"Once they lose this crucial decisive battle, according to Serie A rules, what will be compared after the same score is not the goal difference, but the results of each other. At that time, Naples will reverse Inter Milan and reach the top of Serie A."
"When that time comes, the blow to Inter Milan will be even more painful!"
…
Bergomi still appealed in good faith, but the Italian media seemed to have found a new hot spot and swarmed him.
Overnight, the whole of Italy was questioning, criticizing, and even laughing at Inter Milan.
The trees that are beautiful in the forest will be destroyed by the wind.
Inter Milan is so powerful that they have almost no competitors in Serie A, and because of this strength, they have an advantage on the field, so that the referee will inevitably make penalties that are beneficial to Inter Milan when enforcing the law in some games.
This has caused Inter Milan to be controversial for a long time.
It even became the target of public criticism.
Now, Mancini's team has suffered consecutive defeats in the knockout rounds of the Champions League. The Italian's harsh words before the game threatening to defeat Liverpool in an away game have completely turned into a joke. Those fans who were originally suppressed by Inter Milan dared to be angry and dare not speak out.
and the media, all at once it was dark.
Of course, more importantly, Inter Milan's performance is really bad.
In this game against Roma at home, Inter Milan only had 40% of the ball possession rate, while Roma's away game had as much as 60%.
The number of shots taken by Inter Milan was twelve and Roma's was fifteen. It should be noted that in the ten minutes after Mexes' red card came off, Inter Milan launched a crazy attack against Roma by relying on ten against ten.
This shows how obvious Inter Milan's disadvantage was before this.
Even Gazzetta dello Sport said helplessly, "Except for the number of fouls, Inter Milan has no advantage in this game."
Wait, are you wondering why Inter Milan went ten against ten after Roma was sent off?
This is why the Italian media criticized Mancini wildly after the game.
With Roma taking the advantage and Totti scoring the first goal, Mancini made a very stupid mistake at the technical and tactical level.
First of all, the formation is still too conservative and continues to play three midfielders.
The situation was unfavorable and after conceding the ball, he was too aggressive.
At halftime, Stankovic was replaced with Suazo. Shortly after the start of the second half, seeing that the situation had not improved, Cambiaso was replaced with Balotelli, and Crespo was added.
As well as Figo, the first four players are all attacking.
Four minutes after Balotelli came on, Mancini replaced Figo with Pele on a whim.
From the 46th minute to the 62nd minute, Mancini almost used all his cards in a prudent manner.
What are the consequences of continuous substitutions?
Then came the punishment.
In the 65th minute, Maxwell sprained his ankle and could no longer continue the game and was forced to leave the field.
Valley
Therefore, in the subsequent games, Inter Milan had to face a very embarrassing situation and took the initiative to send off one person.
Frankly speaking, in football matches, it is very common for one player to be missing due to injury.
But in the 65th minute, it was extremely rare for one player to be missing due to injury.
The media interpreted it after the game and believed that Inter Milan's current conflict was not only due to losing the Champions League, but also because Mancini was completely panicked and made various incredibly low-level mistakes in succession.
"The players have started to lose confidence in him."
Rome's La Repubblica even ridiculed Mancini in the newspaper, "No wonder he didn't even make the shortlist for the Golden Chair!"
"A head coach who dominates Serie A is not even qualified to be nominated for the best coach. This shows Mancini's level!"
The Golden Chair, this is the annual Serie A Oscar award for the best coach.
The Serie A Oscars was founded by the Italian Players Union and has been for ten years. Every summer, all Serie A players select the best award in their minds based on their performance in the Serie A last season.
Naples was not in Serie A last season, but in Serie B, so it is not eligible to be shortlisted for this award.
But Mancini led Inter Milan to win the Serie A championship, but he failed to be nominated, which is really embarrassing.
The three finalists were Fiorentina's Prandelli, AC Milan's Carlo Ancelotti and Roma's Spalletti. The final winner was Roma's Spalletti.
La Repubblica's satire and sarcasm are certainly suspected of gloating and adding insult to injury, but they also basically reflect Serie A's impression and perception of Mancini.
…………
…………
After the twenty-fifth round, three days later it will be the focus of the twenty-sixth round of Serie A.
All fans around the world who pay attention to the A-League are looking forward to the arrival of this highlight.
Inter Milan, who is at the top of the list, has drawn two games in a row and its points advantage has been reduced to three points, while Naples has won consecutive games and has a strong momentum. It has the momentum to reverse Inter Milan and overtake the top spot.
This duel between the two sides attracted the attention of fans all over the world.
…
Gao Shen and the coaching staff started working early.
Two analysts from Naples were sitting at the Meazza Stadium, following the entire match between Inter Milan and Roma, and collected a lot of materials and information.
At the same time, the scouting and analysis departments are also running quickly, and all kinds of intelligence are gathered into the coaching staff.
After watching the entire game, Gao Shen and the coaching staff immediately started preparing for the game, holding meetings to discuss and formulate strategies against Inter Milan.
"From this battle against Roma, Inter Milan exposed many problems and weaknesses, including Mancini. These have been mentioned in the media, but there is also a positive side."
Lucas was still the first to analyze his opponent.
"Everyone should pay attention to the fact that in the 65th minute, Maxwell was injured and came off the field. After one person was missing, Inter Milan's defense became much more stable. It can be seen that this team is not a disorganized team. Their cohesion is still very strong.
The players' personal strength is still the best in Serie A."
"This was reflected again after the 84th minute."
Lucas changed another PPT, which summarized the results of his and the analysis team's efforts.
"After Mexes' red card, the numbers of the two teams were even again. At this time, Inter Milan broke out with a strong fighting force. Until Zanetti's goal in the 88th minute, during this period, Inter Milan suddenly gave up.
In spite of all Mancini's arrangements, they did not play overall football, but instead used the players' individual abilities to solve the game."
"On the one hand, this reflects the distrust of Mancini by Inter Milan players, but on the other hand, when Inter Milan gave up the conventional and slow passing coordination in the past, it suddenly accelerated the pace and relied on individual ability to attack.
Instead, they unleashed a very powerful attack against their opponents."
When Lucas analyzed this point, everyone at the scene was left with a question: Is Mancini redundant?
The answer is definitely not.
But will Mancini adopt the same style of play in the last ten minutes against Naples?
There is no doubt that Mancini is stubborn and proud, but he is definitely not stupid.
His current coaching position has been shaken, his authority in the locker room has been greatly weakened, and he urgently needs a crucial victory to reverse the unfavorable situation between himself and Inter Milan.
"This is what I told you after watching the Anfield game. Inter Milan's current problem is nine words: no speed, no passing, and no defense."
Gao Shen felt that Lucas' analysis better supported his previous judgment.
"In the last ten minutes, Inter Milan played with speed and streamlined its offense and defense, so it became a threat on the offensive end, but fighting alone is not a long-term solution, and it is not in line with Mancini's character."
"The last ten minutes of the game will definitely make Mancini reflect, but no one knows whether he is willing to change his tactics and further tap into the team's potential and changes."
Gao Shen still insisted on his own judgment. Mancini has become Inter Milan's weakest link.
