When Mourinho received the news from Naples, he felt a little puzzled.
No matter how I look at it, I feel like Gao Shen has no confidence.
But Gao Shen doesn't look like someone who shows weakness in advance before the game even starts.
"I seriously doubt that he must have bad intentions." Boas shook his head.
He wouldn't believe a word of what Gao Shen said.
Because, in the past, all those who believed in the profound ended up losing miserably.
Mourinho was convinced that Gao Shen was not a good person at first glance. He looked cunning and cunning. If he were a player, Mourinho would not kill him for him.
"I think he blocked almost everything you could say." Baresi said with a wry smile.
Mourinho was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the answers and remarks at the post-match press conference that he had received. He immediately laughed bitterly, "Fuck, he really finished everything I wanted to say.
"
What is this tactic called?
Finish what others have to say and leave others with nothing to say.
Mourinho originally planned to try to defend the championship and make a fuss about the strength of both sides, bring up the emotions of the players, boost the team's morale, and even cause trouble for Naples.
But now?
Gao Shen took the initiative to say everything.
Defending champion?
There is nothing to say about this. It happened last season. There is no advantage this season and it even adds pressure.
Listen, is this what people say?
Looking for videos before masturbating is like a dog, but deleting videos after masturbating is considered ugly.
Damn it, I don’t even want to think about what it was like when I was struggling to win a championship.
But don't mention it, Mourinho is really in some trouble now.
What is he best at?
It means setting a target in front of yourself and calling on your players: Hit it for me! Hit it to death!
But the problem is, what Gao Shen is doing now is to stand over there and tell Inter Milan: Hurry up, we have no target here! You can hit me, just don't hit me in the face.
So can Inter Milan make it?
This is a good question.
"You guys think, what should I say now?" Mourinho was in a dilemma.
If you want him to praise Gao Shen and Naples, I'm sorry, I can't do that.
Showing weakness before a game has never been Mourinho's style.
What's more, Inter Milan must not show weakness now.
Boas, Faria, Baresi and others all looked at each other, really not knowing what to say.
Gao Shen now seems to have made himself into a piece of iron, making it difficult for Inter Milan to handle.
In particular, public opinion before the game must be taken into consideration.
…………
…………
The entire Italian media was confused.
Before the Italian Super Cup, Naples went north to challenge Inter Milan, and Gao Shen met Mourinho. It was all about traffic.
But surprisingly, there were no sparks.
Gao Shen took the initiative to show weakness at the pre-match press conference, saying that defending the championship is nothing special. Inter Milan is still the strongest team in Italy and even European football, and Mourinho is the best head coach in Europe.
Listen, does this sound like you are evaluating your opponent?
It's more like praising your own idol.
What about Mourinho?
At the pre-match press conference, he never mentioned Shenzhen and Naples. Even if reporters asked him again and again, he would only make a few comments, which were dry and not round at all.
Mourinho is still emphasizing Inter Milan itself. He said that if Inter Milan wants to win at home, it needs to show its best performance.
"This match at Meazza is my first official game as coach of Inter Milan. It is also our first official game of the new season. It is also the battle for the Italian Super Cup championship."
"We will never let the championship trophy leave Meazza!"
These last powerful words represent the determination of Mourinho and Inter Milan.
But that's all.
The Italian media felt very disappointed.
The Mars crashing into the earth they were expecting did not happen, and both Gao Shen and Mourinho chose to deal with it in a low-key manner.
Gazzetta dello Sport analyzed that this is actually helpless.
Eight of Naples' main players went to the Olympics, which had a huge impact on the team. Even two of the main central defenders were absent. How could Naples play?
"Gao Shen chose to keep a low profile in the Northern Expedition, which proves that he does not have absolute confidence and certainty in this game."
"According to the information obtained by the reporter, Naples will change their formation in this game and adopt an offensive style of play. However, before the game, Gao Shen deliberately chose to show weakness. This is obviously to paralyze the opponent."
Gazzetta dello Sport also analyzed Inter Milan and believed that Mourinho's team was also having a hard time.
The four central defenders have not yet recovered from injuries suffered last season, resulting in Inter Milan's current shortage of central defenders.
"Judging from the warm-up situation before the game, Cambiasso is likely to appear in the central defender position, partnering with Burdisso, but what is worrying is that they will face last season's Serie A top scorer Ka
Varney.”
"There is news that after Zidane joined the advanced coaching staff, he was specifically responsible for training the players in shooting. After the daily training session, Zidane would keep several players on the team to teach them shooting skills and random skills.
Ball skills.”
"In this game, Cavani will be the biggest challenge to Inter Milan's defense."
Sacchi predicted the game in his column.
He believes that there are huge hidden dangers in the defense of both teams in this game, and Naples' situation will be more serious, because in addition to the absence of the two main central defenders, the midfielder Biglia is also absent.
"He was one of Napoli's best players last season and can be called the anchor of the midfield."
Di Maria on the left side of the frontcourt is also absent. "This will inevitably affect Naples' left attack. Whether it is Callejon or Mertens, there is obviously still a big gap between Di Maria and Di Maria."
Sacchi said that Gao Shen kept a low profile before the game, probably because Naples was in a serious unfavorable situation.
"Perhaps, Napoli will adopt more pragmatic tactics in this Italian Super Cup."
…………
…………
On his first day at Inter Milan, Mourinho revealed in an interview with media reporters that he would adopt a four-three-three tactical formation at Inter Milan because he used this style of play to sweep the Premier League at Chelsea.
Ever since Gao Shen took charge of Naples, the issue of outdated tactics in Serie A has caused huge controversy in Italy.
This kind of discussion basically disappeared after Gao Shen led Napoli to win the double championship last season.
The media have also begun to report that it turns out that there are already so many teams in Italy, unknowingly and subtly following the pace of Gao Shen, trying this more advanced tactical concepts and ideas.
Of course, more people are still waiting and hesitating.
Mancini always insisted on 442 at Inter Milan, which was regarded by countless people as the reason why he could not keep up with the times and was unable to achieve good results in the Champions League.
That's why Mourinho announced as soon as he took office that he would adopt a four-three-three formation.
He wanted to take this opportunity to tell everyone that a new era for Inter Milan has arrived!
Before the season, Inter Milan's various transfer operations seemed to indicate this.
Roma winger Roberto Mancini and Porto winger Quaresma, these two tiger players cost Inter Milan tens of millions of euros. Their joining can greatly enhance Inter Milan's wing attack power.
In the words of the Italian media, this is a shotgun exchange for a cannon.
It used to be players like Cesar, Soria and Figo, but now?
Mancini Jr. and Quaresma are both well-known players in Europe.
What?
Is Quaresma a parallel import?
Anyone who says this must not be paying attention to the Portuguese Super League.
He just encountered a Waterloo at Barcelona, and he was still very young at the time, so it was normal for him not to adapt to Barcelona.
But after returning to the Portuguese Super League, Quaresma immediately came back to life and performed brilliantly.
Could this be a parallel import?
Whether it is Roma or Naples, they have repeatedly proved that in Serie A, excellent wing offense is a must.
Inter Milan's poor offensive performance last season actually had a lot to do with the weakness on the wing. Especially when Figo, Solari and Cesar all performed poorly, Mancini's several tricks were used.
No more threats.
But things are different now. The arrival of Mancini and Quaresma has greatly improved Inter Milan's wing firepower.
Maxwell is partnered with Mancini on the left, and Maicon is partnered with Quaresma on the right. Just thinking about it is exciting!
Especially since there is still a strong Figo in the team.
Didn't Quaresma have a nickname back then, called Figo II?
Well now, Figo I personally trained Figo II.
This picture is so beautiful!
…
Before the game even started, Mourinho took the initiative to shatter many people's beautiful illusions.
Neither generation of "Figo" appeared in the starting lineup.
Inter Milan's starting lineup is a bit strange because it has two centre-forwards.
Ibrahimovic and Balotelli.
Not to say?
Do you want to play four-three-three?
How come there are two centers?
Goalkeeper: Cesar.
Defense: Maxwell, Burdisso, Cambiaso and Maicon.
Midfielder: Stankovic, Muntari and Zanetti.
Forwards: Roberto Mancini, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Balotelli.
This should be Inter Milan's starting lineup.
Both Figo and Quaresma were absent from the starting lineup, and Quaresma was not even included in the squad.
This has to make people feel very confused.
Is it because Quaresma has just arrived and Mourinho doesn't want to use him in such a crucial game?
Or is it because of other reasons?
And with Balotelli in the starting lineup, he can actually play four-four-two.
As a result, the midfielder became a combination of Mancini, Stankovic, Muntari and Zanetti.
This makes perfect sense.
What tactical formation the team adopts and what positions the players appear in will probably only be known during the game.
But Mourinho's formation is still surprising.
No one, including Gao Shen, expected him to be so arranged.
