After a team changes one person, it will no longer change easily.
Napoli's ability to control the ball in the midfield and frontcourt became stronger, while Inter Milan defended very tightly. Most of the game was played in Inter Milan's half. Occasionally, a counterattack hit the frontcourt, but it was difficult to pose a threat.
In the stands, Inter Milan fans continued to encourage the team.
The score is zero to two. At this time, Inter Milan should play more aggressively and strive for goals!
But Mourinho's team knows its own suffering.
If they press out again, they may really be beaten by Naples.
In this situation, can he press out? Does he dare to press out?
"Giuseppe, were they like this last season?" Mourinho asked with a frown.
He had watched several Naples games, and he originally thought that he was objective enough to evaluate Naples.
But now it seems that he still underestimated.
There are a lot of things that you can't tell at all by just watching game tapes and videos.
Because the lens has limitations.
Only by being in the game and feeling the atmosphere, the pressure, and the changes in the offensive and defensive situations of the two teams can we truly and objectively appreciate the true strength of our opponents.
This is why, even though technology has become so advanced, many head coaches still choose to go to the scene to spy on their opponents' games.
Just like Mourinho now, he discovered that the real Naples is more powerful than the one in the video.
That kind of power is reflected in many aspects, especially the suffocating oppression.
On the surface, it seems that Napoli is no longer pressing the goalkeeper, and he even did not really press in front of Cesar tonight.
But the overall pressure is more suffocating than before.
In the first half, Inter Milan could barely withstand it, but in the second half, especially now, Inter Milan has begun to be unable to withstand it.
The physical exertion is too great!
"They have improved a lot compared to last season." Giuseppe Baresi said helplessly.
Mourinho glanced at Baresi, shook his head and sighed.
What a formidable opponent!
Mourinho had to admit that he really underestimated Gao Shen.
He now finally understands why Barcelona and Inter Milan are doing everything possible to get Gao Shen.
He was dissatisfied before, but now, he has to say that Gao Shen is really powerful.
Just for this Napoli team, just for him to be able to find a central defender like Benatia, I am not convinced!
Of course, don't even think about Mourinho publicly admitting this.
"We now have to find a way to turn the situation around."
Villas-Boas, who was also sitting on the coaching bench, leaned over and suggested.
After hearing this, Mourinho immediately laughed bitterly.
Turn things around?
Then you can only replace someone.
Who to replace?
It's funny, he originally planned to compete with Gao Shen tonight, so in addition to the goalkeeper, he brought four offensive players on his bench.
Just replaced Jimenez, Figo, Crespo, and a Cruz.
So who should be replaced now?
Mourinho now has a very absurd feeling, as if he is making a date.
Looking at the photo, she looked like a pretty young girl with a slender figure. But after arriving, she discovered that she was actually Feng Xiaogang with long hair and a very ugly appearance.
But there is nothing I can do. The rooms are open and everyone is here. Whatever appointment I made, I have to finish it with tears in my eyes!
Mourinho feels like crying without tears right now.
Damn it!
Zero to two is not bad!
The Portuguese madman could only comfort himself in this way.
…
After entering the passing and controlling mode, Thiago Motta became the core of the team's midfield.
In fact, his movement has always been very smart, always running to a position where it is easy for his teammates to pass the ball.
This kind of running is a natural ability that he has developed through years of training and indoctrination in the Barcelona youth academy.
Relying on the advantage of passing and controlling the ball, Naples directly controlled the ball back and forth in front of Inter Milan's 30-meter area, constantly pulling and seizing the opportunity to penetrate forward, but Inter Milan held firmly.
But gradually, as physical fitness declines and players' pressure increases, the consumption becomes greater and greater.
Although, during this period, Inter Milan also tried to play some offense, and Ibrahimovic also began to actively retreat to catch the ball, the offensive effect was still not great, and it was never able to relieve the pressure on the team.
Eighty minutes into the game, this becomes even more apparent.
Mourinho made a substitution and replaced Balotelli with Cruz.
This talented youngster performed very mediocre tonight.
But no one can ask more from a 17-year-old player. After all, Balotelli is already eye-catching enough.
After this substitution, Ibrahimovic began to frequently drop back to catch the ball, trying to connect the midfield and frontcourt.
Naples is still playing steadily.
In the 83rd minute, during an attack from the left, Sanchez and Vargas' cooperation on the left failed to produce any effect.
Zanetti and Maicon teamed up to contain Naples' offensive and clear the ball away.
But the ball is still at Naples' feet.
After Cannavaro got the ball, he passed it to the left and wanted to pass it to Vargas, but after the Peruvian defender stopped the ball, he had no chance to pass it to Parejo.
After taking one look, the Spanish teenager moved directly with his big foot and passed the ball horizontally to the right side of the court.
Valencia stopped the ball with his chest and rushed forward, dribbling the ball to the area near the penalty area, but was restricted by Maxwell and was forced to cross the ball to Vidal.
As soon as the Chilean midfielder stopped the ball, he immediately wanted to play again.
But this time, Inter Milan midfielder Muntari appeared in time and blocked the ball.
The Inter Milan midfielder has performed very bravely, especially in the past few games.
Mourinho even praised him as the Essien of Inter Milan, which shows how highly he thinks of Muntari.
The ball trembled and fell towards the center line. Benatia took the lead and headed the ball to the right.
Lichtsteiner stopped the ball forward, continued to advance with the ball, glanced ahead, and quickly sent a direct pass.
Valencia tried to hit the bottom line close to the right line, but Maxwell was already prepared.
The Ecuadorian winger made an emergency stop to spike the ball and passed the ball back.
Vidal just pressed forward and was forced to turn around to catch the ball and pass it back to Lichtsteiner.
When the Swiss right back stopped the ball, there were no defensive players around him. He made a slight adjustment, glanced in front of him, bent his right foot and made a diagonal pass into the penalty area, sending the ball behind the defense.
In the middle of the penalty area, Cavani had already guessed his teammates' intentions when he saw Lichtsteiner stop the ball and make adjustments. He immediately made preparations. First, he feigned an attack by retreating to the right, then shot a feint.
After attracting the attention of Burdisso and Cambiaso, he suddenly stopped in front of the penalty area, turned around suddenly, and sprinted forward.
This sudden change caught both players Burdisso and Cambiaso off guard, and Lichtsteiner's diagonal pass landed just in time in the penalty area.
Cavani did not forget to look at the flying cross when he was sprinting. Near the penalty spot, he jumped high.
The ball hit the back of Cavani's head, turned in a direction, and fell to the left side of the goal.
Cesar's position was to the right. Facing Cavani's header, he flew out to save it, but he was still out of reach.
"GLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!"
"Three to zero!!!!"
"Oh my God, it's really three to zero!!!"
"Cavani! Cavani!"
"He scored the third goal for Napoli!!!"
…
The moment Lichtsteiner passed the ball, Gao Shen already had a premonition.
His whole body was tense.
When he saw Cavani leaping high and heading the ball towards the goal, he couldn't help but roar.
Especially when he saw the ball break through Inter Milan's goal, Gao Shen was so excited that he couldn't help but rushed out of the stadium, running wildly, cheering non-stop, clenching his fists with both hands, and watching.
His face looked a little ferocious when he looked up.
"Gao Shen looks more excited than his players!"
"Three to zero!!!"
"Naples finally avenged the defeat at Meazza two years ago!"
"More importantly, this game allows us to see the progress of Naples in the past two years."
"If Naples was completely helpless against Inter Milan in that game two years ago, then tonight, it was Inter Milan who was helpless!"
"Mourinho's team can't even play a threatening attack!"
Gao Shen almost rushed into the stands of Inter Milan fans in the end, but fortunately he was hugged by the staff who rushed over.
He is so excited!
It’s really three to zero!
Oh, God!
Two years ago, he vowed to avenge the three-to-zero defeat at Meazza. At that time, he wanted to cheer for himself and the team, but he really did not expect that two years later, he would
He really fulfilled his promise at the Meazza Stadium!
The entire Meazza stadium was filled with boos, but to Gao Shen's ears, it was extremely pleasant.
He stood on the sidelines, opened his arms flamboyantly, and laughed loudly.
The players rushed out of the stadium quickly, hugging him one by one, shouting and celebrating this great revenge!
This is Inter Milan!
The once mighty Inter Milan!
…
After a period of crazy venting, the players returned to the court one after another. Before leaving, each one looked at their boss with sympathy. Then they turned their heads and saw the referee Sakani waving to Gao Shen.
"Boss, my condolences!" Cavani shouted sympathetically.
The crowd burst into laughter.
Gao Shen told him to get away, but he still walked towards Sakani with a smile.
He doesn't believe it anymore. He's already slapped hot on his face. How can he be punished severely?
Sure enough, a yellow card and a stern warning.
"I know how you feel at this moment, but don't make it difficult for us, Gao." Sakani said with a wry smile while writing the time and Gao Shen's name on the north side of the yellow card.
"Sorry, I'm so excited!" Gao Shen replied cheerfully.
It's just a yellow card, it's okay!
When walking back, Gao Shen stretched out his arms towards his assistants from a distance and hugged them one by one in celebration.
Two years ago, they were in this stadium and witnessed their team being slaughtered by Inter Milan 0-3, but they were helpless.
Two years later, they can finally wash away this shame with their own hands!
