Inter Milan's centenary celebration is scheduled for March 8th.
After defeating Reggina 2-0, Inter Milan held a very grand centenary celebration at the San Siro.
This festive ceremony not only invited Italian political and business celebrities, but also senior officials from FIFA and UEFA, and more than 200 superstars and legends from all over the world were present.
The entire celebration lasts from the end of the game until the early morning of March 9th. During the day of March 9th, Inter Milan and the city of Milan will hold a series of grand celebrations.
After all, a century-old giant has special meaning not only to Inter Milan, but also to the entire city.
It is worth mentioning that in the early morning of March 9, at the final stage of the celebration, when the Inter Milan players walked into the center of the field and accepted the salute and cheers of the fans, captain Zanetti delivered a speech on behalf of the entire team.
The Argentinian star first expressed his gratitude to all Inter Milan fans and promised on behalf of all the players in the locker room that he will do his best in every subsequent game and strive to win the Serie A championship this season.
Originally, the club planned to arrange for Mancini to speak, but the Inter Milan coach politely declined.
First, they suffered a 0-5 away defeat to Naples last weekend, losing the league leader.
Then, in the Champions League knockout round of 16 in midweek, they lost 0-1 at home to Liverpool and were directly eliminated from the Champions League.
The key is that in the three focal points of the strong dialogue, Inter Milan swallowed eight goals, failed to score a single goal, and the scene was very ugly.
Under such circumstances, how could Mancini have the face to give a speech on stage?
Even Zanetti's speech, which expressed on behalf of the locker room that he would do his best to win the Serie A championship, was actually wiping Mancini's butt, because now people in the Inter Milan locker room are also panicked.
…
On the afternoon of March 9, Naples played at home and defeated Roma 3-0.
The whole game went smoothly without any too thrilling scenes. Naples won very steadily.
According to the consistent statement of the media after the game, Naples showed the temperament of a strong player.
The next day, all major Italian newspapers started hyping up Naples.
Many media paid close attention to Gao Shen, believing that it was his wonderful substitution that helped Naples stabilize the game.
The reason is that not long after Antonio Valencia came on the field, Naples scored two goals in a row. The Ecuadorian player passed and shot one at a time and performed very well.
This is no accident.
Because Gao Shen said before the game that he had a killer move for Roma.
Facts have proved that this killer move is really fatal.
Spalletti admitted after the game that it was impossible for Roma to win the championship and the team would do its best to fight in the Champions League.
But for the two teams currently with the same points, Spalletti said, "I am more optimistic about Naples winning the championship!"
This should also be the first head coach in Serie A to take the initiative and publicly support Gao Shen and Naples to win the championship.
Not even the profound old friend Carlo Ancelotti has given such a statement.
Of course, Ancelotti won't say anything because he is acting in a mess now.
AC Milan has never been able to break through the bottleneck of sixth place in the league, leaving Ancelotti with nothing to do.
…
On the morning of March 10th, Inter Milan resumed training.
Mancini and the coaching staff arrived at the training base in advance, and the focus was to study the current situation of Inter Milan.
Being eliminated from the Champions League is definitely not a good thing for Inter Milan, but it may not be all bad.
For example, from now on, Inter Milan can calm down and focus on Serie A.
"The biggest point loss for Naples in the remaining games is actually at the Alpi Stadium. Ranieri's team is also fighting for the top four now and will definitely fight them hard."
Assistant coach Mihajlovic analyzes the current situation in Serie A.
"The 28th, 29th and 30th rounds were played within a week. Naples' opponents were Juventus away, Fiorentina at home, and Reggina away."
After a pause, Mihajlovic continued: "Fiorentina is the only team that has defeated Naples so far, and they will meet in the Italian Cup semi-finals."
In fact, as the season progressed, everyone was surprised to find that the schedule was really unfavorable to Naples.
Just like the current paragraph.
In the first cycle, everyone thought Naples only encountered three strong teams, but what was the result?
Next there is Fiorentina, a team that is currently ranked fifth and has almost reached fourth place many times.
Prandelli's team is superb, one of the best performing teams this season, and is very young.
It can be said that so far, the two most surprising teams in Serie A are both young guards.
Just imagine this Naples schedule.
First they will play Inter Milan, who are ranked first, then Roma who are ranked third, and then they will play Juventus, who are fourth, and Fiorentina and Reggina, who are fifth, within one week.
Reggina is currently ranked in the relegation zone and does not appear to be strong, but in fact, at their home stadiums, Inter Milan, AC Milan and Roma all play very hard, and Juventus even loses away from home.
So, this is also a tough battle.
Judging from this schedule, the pressure on Naples is still very high. The main reason is that the dialogue between the two teams is too intensive.
"Naples has been in a very strong state recently, but it will definitely fall back in time. This is an objective rule. As long as we seize this opportunity, we will definitely be able to surpass the points again." Mihajlovic is very sure.
say.
Judging from his analysis, the possibility of Inter Milan's reversal is very high.
Mancini made a quick decision and said loudly: "Then seize this opportunity. As soon as Naples falls behind, we will catch up immediately!"
Everyone on the coaching staff nodded. Gu Yan

How to play against Napoli?
This is a problem that all Serie A teams will encounter this season.
Now, it is placed in front of Ranieri.
This newly promoted team is getting stronger and stronger.
Even standing in March, looking back at Naples at the beginning of last year's season, you will find that this team has really made great progress. Both the players and the team as a whole have made quite amazing progress.
The most concentrated expression is that they beat Inter Milan 5-0 at home, and then defeated Roma 3-0.
If the victory over Inter Milan was a bit of a coincidence, then the 3-0 victory over Roma was definitely a manifestation of strength.
This team is really strong!
Moreover, it’s very arrogant!
Their unreasonable style of play gave every team in Serie A a headache.
Facing such teammates, what should Juventus do?
…
"Defend firmly and counterattack!"
At the coaching staff meeting, Ranieri gave his thoughts.
This time it was at Juventus' home court, and Ranieri really didn't want the team to lose to Naples again.
Everyone knows that since the Serie B season last season, Gao Shen and his Naples have been the victims of Juventus. The Bianconeri were even humiliated by their opponents by a big score, so Juventus has strong hatred and hatred towards Gao Shen and Napoli.
Psychological shadow.
To put it bluntly, I want revenge but I am also afraid of losing.
As the team's head coach, Ranieri must consider the current situation of the team and his own situation.
Kapana's controversy has been suppressed, and he has successfully obtained his teaching certificate, and he is no longer driving without a license.
But there are still many conflicts within the Juventus locker room.
Now, the bottom line set by the management for Ranieri is that he must keep the top four.
Regarding this goal, Ranieri actually did not dare to be careless because Fiorentina and AC Milan behind him were very tight.
Everyone knows that reaching the Champions League final means an income of at least 20 to 30 million euros. Who can give up this big piece of meat?
Not to mention others, even the tyrannical AC Milan has to fight to be in the top four, let alone Fiorentina?
"After playing us, we will play Fiorentina again in the middle of the week. After two consecutive tough games, I concluded that Gao Shen will definitely allocate and adjust the team's lineup appropriately. This is our opportunity!"
If Naples were fighting with all their strength, Ranieri wouldn't be too sure, but now the situation is different.
Of course, Juventus' situation is not very good either.
This weekend we play Napoli, we play Empoli away in midweek, and we play Inter Milan away next weekend. It’s also a tough game.
But overall, Juventus is much better than Napoli.
At least the schedule pressure is not as great as that of Naples.
As long as they rotate properly in the middle of the week, survive Empoli, and face Inter Milan next weekend, the schedule will be over.
From then on, Juventus was a smooth sailing team, with only one match a week.
…
"So, our weekend tactic is to hold on!"
Ranieri strengthened his tone, obviously attaching great importance to the team's defense.
"No matter what, we have to defend our goal at home, and Naples is competing with Inter Milan for the leading position in the standings. They must want to win. The faster they are, the easier it is to make mistakes. Once they make mistakes, our opportunity will come.
,By the time……"
Ranieri made a beheading motion with his hand knife, obviously intending to perform a beheading operation.
Since last season, Serie A has been worried about Naples.
So far this season, Naples has only lost one game to Fiorentina, and that was after challenging three strong teams in a row.
Prandelli became famous because of this, and some even said that the reason why Fiorentina was in such good shape was because of its confidence in the game against Naples.
"Everyone."
Ranieri greeted his assistant loudly.
"We have only one goal this season, and that is to keep the top four."
Everyone nodded, this was the final bottom line.
Of course, only Juventus dares to be so arrogant and threatens to win the top four with their newly promoted team.
Last summer, the club's huge investment, ranked ninth in Europe, was the club's biggest source of confidence.
As for teams like Naples, forget it, let’s not talk about it.
"So, we must win this battle no matter what, and we must attack Naples at home with all our strength!"
This is not a slogan or a goal, but a bottom line that must be achieved.
