Chapter 141 The New Season Begins

Li Ang is very satisfied with the joining of Muntari. The Ghanaian international has a fierce style and runs without hesitation, which can improve the hardness of Inter Milan's midfield.

Originally, Li Ang planned to introduce another player in the midfield, but after careful consideration, he gave up this plan.

The addition of Muntari can allow Carlos to rest. In addition, Marchisio has made considerable progress after two seasons of hard work and can rotate appropriately to allow Modric to rest, while David Silva can make up for the Philippines'

In addition, Modric and even Muntari can also play in the right midfield position.

Therefore, after introducing Muntari, Li Ang found that the team's signings seemed to be closed unless players were leaving or were injured.

Li Ang is quite satisfied with the team's current lineup.

2007 is not a year for international competitions. The World Cup just ended last year and the European Cup will have to wait until next year. However, there is the America's Cup and the Asian Cup.

There are no Asian players in the Inter Milan team, so the Asian Cup will have no impact on Inter Milan.

However, the America's Cup has had a considerable impact on Inter Milan.

Cordoba, the backbone of Inter Milan, represented Colombia in the Copa America in Venezuela. However, Colombia performed very poorly in the Copa America. They lost to Paraguay 0-5 in the first game and lost to Argentina 2-4 in the second game. Only at the end of the group stage was Colombia

They narrowly defeated the US team 1-0 and saved a little face.

Colombia was eliminated in the group stage, which allowed Cordoba to get an early rest. However, the 31-year-old Inter Milan deputy's performance in the Copa America was somewhat poor, which also made Li Ang worried about Cordoba's state.

In fact, this is one of the reasons why Liang decisively introduced Romanian defender Chivu from Roma.

For Inter Milan, the Argentine international in the team will be the most affected, because Argentina has reached the final.

As for Inter Milan, team captain Javier Zanetti, center back Burdisso, and forward Diego Milito are all in the Argentine national team. Of course, there is also Cambiaso, who participated in the America's Cup.

When he was still a player of Inter Milan, Cambiaso joined Real Madrid after the Copa America.

***********

Argentina made it all the way to the final, but was defeated 3-0 by Brazil in the final.

Argentina summoned almost all the main players for this cup, including Messi, Riquelme, Veron, Cambiasso, Ayala, Zanetti, Tevez and Diego Milito, while Brazil's biggest star Ronaldo

Nardinho and Kaka were absent, and Adriano was not called up. The main players in the team were Robinho, Baptista and others. As a result, Argentina had the highest call for winning the championship before the game, and the game trend also verified

Brazil stumbled all the way, eliminating Uruguay on penalty kicks in the semifinals, while Argentina defeated Brazil's bitter host Mexico 3-0. Before the final, the outside world was generally optimistic about Argentina. Even the Brazilian media believed that Brazil could delay the penalty shootout.

The biggest victory. Unexpectedly, the ending was completely unexpected. Brazil defeated Argentina with three goals and won the championship.

After such a final, I'm afraid many new fans know this: the Argentina men's national football team has not won any world championship in 14 years.

This may not be a big deal for other countries, but for Argentina, one of the most famous football countries in the world, it is obviously completely unacceptable, especially in the past 20 years in Argentina, talents have continued to emerge, one after another.

Dial classic national teams in endless cases.

One year after Brazile led the team to win the America's Cup in 1993, Argentina, which had barely entered the World Cup, qualified third in the group at the 1994 World Cup in the United States and was eliminated by Romania 3-2 in the 1/8 finals. And a year later

In Uruguay's Copa America, Argentina absentmindedly lost to the United States 0-3 in the last group match and qualified for second place in the group. As a result, they met Brazil early and led 2:1 in the 81st minute. Tulio scored a goal at the last minute.

The ball was eliminated. Two years later, Argentina was defeated by Peru 2-1 in the quarter-finals of the Copa America.

In the 1998 World Cup in France, Argentina, which was in excellent form, encountered the Netherlands after experiencing the classic Anglo-Argentina war. As a result, Ayala was teased by Bergkamp at the last moment, which became the ice prince's final victory. One year

In the subsequent America's Cup, the only thing that can be remembered is Palermo's muddle-headed penalty kick hat trick, and the embarrassment of failing to qualify in the group stage due to their lack of morale.

In the 2002 World Cup, Argentina, known as the strongest team in history, appeared in East Asia with the attention of countless people. The center battle between Batistuta and Crespo is still vivid in my mind. In the end, one of them scored a goal, 1-1.

Tied, these were all two goals scored by Argentina. Bielsa's Blue and White Army went home at the same time as the "strongest" French team with Batty's tears and everyone's ridicule. Two years later, Argentina once again won the championship in America.

In the cup final, he was kicked badly by the hot Adriano.

As recently as 2006, the tragic defender Ayala shot a penalty kick directly into the arms of the German when facing Lehmann, making Argentina, which played the most exciting football in the World Cup, once again miss the top four of the World Cup.

Every time Argentina faces the crisis of being eliminated, people always look forward to those superstars on the field to step forward and save the team. Why does Maradona have such a status in Argentina? Argentines advocate individual heroism and look forward to it

Their power can change everything. But when the cruel reality comes, Argentines can only sing "Argentina, don't cry for me" with endless sadness.

***********

Li Ang has studied many strong teams, including Brazil and Argentina. If he were to diagnose Argentina, his point of view is that Argentina lacks championship dominance at critical moments. This is something that no number of stars can change in the team.

This kind of temperament, to put it bluntly, means losing the chain at critical moments. Once or twice can be said to be luck, but what about 7 or 8 times? And various conflicts between this kind of temperament and the coach and key players are enough to lead to the team's failure.

Collapse, such as the character coaches Passarella and Bielsa in recent years, none of them have used their strong hands to reverse the existence of this temperament, but can only perish together in the struggle with this temperament.

Argentina has never lacked stars. Even the spirit of unity, coaching leadership, and strong patriotism of the players that it lacked before are almost all missing in the Argentina team in this America's Cup. They scored 16 goals in 5 games and conceded 3 goals.

It seemed that people could see the domineering nature of Argentina. However, when facing a stumbling Brazilian team that had long been trained to be invulnerable, Argentina was still tied up by the quagmire created by the Brazilians when they needed to show their domineering power.

Leon watched the final between Brazil and Argentina on live TV, and even watched it carefully twice later. The Brazilian team's style of play aroused his attention and thinking. When the Brazilian second team met the Argentine first team in the final, the Brazilian team's attitude was unrestrained.

The score is very low, just playing defensive counterattack, just like Italy. Argentina is higher than Brazil in terms of situation, ball control, and shooting, but the Brazilian's counterattack is very sharp, and it can be said that every hit is accurate.

Brazil scored in the first 4 minutes, catching Argentina off guard and completely disrupting the opponent's plan. After taking the lead, Dunga also smartly launched a defensive counterattack. The high efficiency of the Brazilian team in this game also became

The key to victory was that he scored 3 times out of 5 shots in the game, especially the third goal scored by Alves, which can be called a Brazilian-style counterattack goal. This final also became a classic battle of defensive counterattacks to win.

The entire Argentine team in this America's Cup, coupled with Messi and Riquelme who are in good form, are generally optimistic. Several big wins have also boosted their morale, while the Brazilian team, which lacks Kaká and Ronaldinho, has been

The media thinks it is a "second team". It is this huge gap that makes a bunch of "civilians" in the Brazilian team put down their attitude. In fact, looking at the lineup of this Brazilian team, it is not objective to say that it is a "second team".

Because Dunga's main lineup after taking office is missing Kaka and Ronaldinho this time. The others have been playing the main lineup under him, and big names like Ronaldo and Ade have not been recruited since he took office.

National team. Dunga has suffered a lot of criticism since he took office, but he has always insisted on using the people he chose and his style of play, and has come through step by step, and also proved himself with an America's Cup.

Returning to this game, the media before the game were generally optimistic that Argentina would win the championship. Pampas' history of missing the championship for 14 years also made them hold their breath. The previous big wins also made the Argentines hope to win Brazil in one go.

The whole team seemed a bit overconfident. Baptista's goal after the opening gave them a wake-up call. Although Argentina later occupied an absolute advantage on the field, the impact of conceding the goal disrupted Basile's success.

Deployment. Brazil’s defensive counterattack was in full effect. Except for the first ball, which was a bit unexpected, the other two goals were classic Brazilian coordination. It was this so-called second-tier team that beat their opponents without any temper at all. And in 2006,

Different from the five-star Brazil team that aspired to win the World Cup, today's team is no longer shining with golden glory. There are many players in the team who are not well known to everyone. They lower their profile and pursue practical results, engage in defensive counterattacks, and put themselves aside.

Fighting against opponents from a weak position. It is a pity that Argentina lost today. Such a team that pursues offense and plays very well has gained the love and respect of the fans. The only thing missing is a championship trophy.

This game was also Brazil's third consecutive victory against Argentina with 3 goals. Some people may say that Argentina has "Pakphobia"? Li Ang thinks not! The confrontation between these two teams has always been a match between Mars and Earth.

It's normal for whoever wins three opponents. Argentina's luck today is not very good. If Riquelme scores the goal that hit the goal post, it will be difficult to predict the rest of the game. Brazil won the championship today because they are good at grasping the situation.

Opportunity, of course, there is also some luck. Of course, luck can sometimes understand the foundation of a champion.

After the Copa America final, some Spanish media once compared the Brazilian team with the Sporting Gijon team two seasons ago, thinking that the Brazilian team was very similar to Sporting Gijon that season. Leon's Sporting Gijon used this kind of sharpness.

counterattacked, defeated Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​and miraculously won the Triple Crown.

Zanetti, Burdisso and Diego Milito participated in all the Copa America matches. In addition, Maicon is also an Inter Milan player in the Brazilian team. Therefore, the impact of the Copa America on Inter Milan is not small.

Li Ang specially approved that players who participated in the America's Cup can postpone their return to the team. However, as the team captain, Zanetti still set an example and returned to the team on time. Li Ang was very pleased with this. The Inter Milan captain has come out of the shadow of the loss in the America's Cup final.

Not only Zanetti, Diego Milito also returned to the team on time.

Maicon saw the captain returning to the team and reported back to the team two days later.

Only Burdisso rested until Leonte's vacation was over before returning to the team.

As for Cambiaso, he is now from Real Madrid and does not need Leon to worry about anything.

***********

After introducing Muntari, Li Ang announced that the team's signings this summer have ended.

This is also a reassurance for the players on the current team. No one will come again, and naturally no one will leave.

The team has already played several warm-up games, and they need to adjust their condition before the start of the new season.

For Li Ang's Inter Milan, the first important game of the new season is the Italian Super Cup.

Because Inter Milan was the champion of the Italian Cup and Serie A last season, a double champion, so this Italian Super Cup will be between the league champion Inter Milan and the Italian Cup runner-up Roma.

After the 'Calciopoli', Roma was Inter Milan's biggest rival in the Italian arena. Last season, Roma was closely chasing Inter Milan. However, it was later pulled down by Inter Milan in the sprint. Inter Milan also created the best record in recent years.

An exaggerated record of winning the championship early. This was also ashamed of the Roma, who clamored to regain their place in the Italian Super Cup.

Li Ang sneered at this. Among the giants in Serie A, the one he looked down on the most was Roma. Apart from winning the Serie A championship in 2000, the Roma team has not made any achievements at all over the years, and its performance in European competitions is even worse. However,

But he always considers himself a wealthy family.

***********

August 19, 2007, San Siro, Italian Super Cup, Inter Milan VS Roma.

The Roma team, which clamored to kill Inter Milan before the game, faced Li Ang's three-phase Inter Milan and collapsed after only resisting for less than half an hour.

In the first half of the game, Adriano opened the scoring for Inter Milan.

In the second half of the game, Aguero scored the second goal for Inter Milan!

With a two-goal lead, Li Ang began to mobilize his troops.

Diego Milito, who came off the bench, scored the third goal for Inter Milan.

At the last moment of the game, Roma deputy De Rossi accidentally scored an own goal.

In the end, in the Italian Super Cup, Inter Milan beat Roma 4-0 at home, kicking off the 2007/2008 season with a hearty victory...
