Zaccheroni has had a lot of troubles recently. After his two-goal lead was tied by Bologna in the league before Christmas, the media and fans have not given him a good look. During the winter break, the team is faced with personnel issues.
There was another turmoil, and he was so busy that he couldn't even have a good Christmas.
An old and useless guy like Mihajlovic ended up in Fiorentina; someone like Kovacevic who never scored goals was sold to Spain; someone like De La Pena likes to show off his footwork and delay counterattacks and attacks.
The Spaniard actually wants speed, and of course Zaccheroni will not increase the price;
...and Mendieta and Fiore. Mendieta is quite honest, because he wanted it himself, and Zaccheroni often defends him, but he knows in his heart that Mendieta and his tactics cannot
They blend in so well that I almost have a shadow in my heart. That Fiore is a bit hateful. He doesn't train seriously but always complains about not playing football. If Parma really wants him for such a high-priced bench, then just leave.
But what bothers Zaccheroni the most is the game against Inter Milan. Now Lazio has fallen to 7th place, and is 9 points behind their city rival Roma. If they still want to retain some hope of winning the championship, they can only
can win this game.
Zaccheroni is very familiar with the San Siro Stadium. If we go back more than a year, he is still the emperor there. Zaccheroni is also very familiar with Inter Milan. During the three years in charge of AC Milan, he and
Every duel with Inter Milan was unforgettable for him. From Simeone to Lucescu and then to that hateful Chinese Jiang Mu, his opponents rotated like a revolving lantern... Time passes without mercy, and finally Zaccheroni also
I have become a visitor to San Siro.
It is no longer a Derby, but Lazzaroni knows that just like any bloody battle in the past, San Siro is destined to become his paradise, just like the winning moment in the 1998-1999 season, or his grave. He still remembers that 9 months ago, AC
Milan was swept by Inter Milan 7:1. How did he flee in panic under the high and blue sky of San Siro when everyone was betrayed and separated from his relatives? Challenging the leader led by Jiang Mu was another battle for Zaccheroni
Date of life and death.
Although Lazio has sold many world-class stars, the dead camel is not enough. Now their overall configuration is still first-rate. Their biggest problem is economics and morale. The club's economic crisis has caused the team to lose
Enthusiasm and confidence, the team's poor record made the players lose confidence, and the massive sales during the winter break made the players panic. Even if Zaccheroni made a call to fight to the death with Inter Milan, but in the
Under such a general situation, even if Zaccheroni had the appeal of Hitler, it would be difficult to improve morale.
Before the game, Zaccheroni also proposed that the club's fans come to cheer for the team, but what Zaccheroni didn't expect was that the level of antagonism between Lazio fans and Roma fans was even worse than the fans of the Milan duo.
, Lazio fans saw that Lazio had no hope of winning the championship (16 points behind Inter Milan), and they actually supported Inter Milan to win. It really annoyed Zaccheroni why there were such weird fans.
Zaccheroni led his team to Milan, and he and his players were greeted by more than 3,000 Inter Milan fans. Of course, they were not here to welcome, but to demonstrate. The overwhelming banners read "Inter Milan must win".
slogan, which made Lazio, who only had more than 3,000 fans support, even more depressed.
Jiang Mu's biggest advantage is that he knows that Zaccheroni cares about this game. Zaccheroni can easily get into trouble when he is anxious, which is the case in Milan. And Inter Milan is always so stable, no matter when facing a strong team or a weak team
They are all able to control the rhythm of the game, attack like a cheetah, and defend like a mountain. The fact that they have not lost a single game so far also gives the players full confidence.
But facing a team like Lazio, no matter how strong the confidence is, no matter how stable the state is, it cannot replace serious training and serious preparation before the game. However, Jiang Mu really did not have much preparation for this game.
Time, because the players only came back three days in advance, and during these three days, the players obviously have not returned from vacation. The team's third-line advance made the players too relaxed, and they played so crazy during the winter break that they
It took Jiang Mu more than a day to wake them up, which made Jiang Mu feel anxious and uncertain about this game.
This focus battle between Lazio and Inter Milan is the last game of the 17th round. Previously, Roma, Chievo, AC Milan and Juventus all won the game, which added another point of pressure to Inter Milan and Lazio.
, if Inter Milan fails to win, they will be chased by Roma in points, while if Lazio fails to win, it is likely that the gap will continue to be widened by the top six teams, and they will not even be able to get a seat in the UEFA Cup.
At the pre-match press conference, Jiang Mu reiterated the importance of this game, "Lazio is a very strong team. They can beat any opponent. We must not think that they have sold a few stars just because they have sold them."
It's easy to bully, otherwise the result will definitely surprise you. The last time Inter Milan won the unofficial "Winter Championship" was 11 years ago. In this game, we will win the half-time championship again, which is very important for us.
It’s very important, and I hope to maintain this advantage until we finally win the championship.”
Jiang Mu did not reveal much about how to defend Inter Milan's two Argentine forwards, Crespo and Lopez, but he said that Inter Milan has made full preparations and Materazzi and Cannavaro will not
Give Lazio's two forwards too many opportunities.
Regarding why he succeeded in a short period of time in the conflict-ridden Inter Milan and transformed Inter Milan into the most feared super team in Serie A, Jiang Mu said: "In the Netherlands, many people are unwilling to accept defensive tactics, and many people in Italy are unwilling to accept defensive tactics.
People don't like total attack and total defense, but my ancestors told me that when there is more than enough offense, there is insufficient discipline. Defense and offense are equally important. If our strength is strong, we will attack. If our strength is weak, we will defend. If both sides
Even if our strength is equal, I will win by surprise, so we can always win. If you really want to ask me what is the secret of my success, then I will tell you that the secret is that I know when to attack and when to defend."
Facing Jiang Mu's talk at the press conference about selling the tactics of his ancestor Sun Wu, Zaccheroni seemed a little worried.
After Zaccheroni plucked up the courage to express his confidence in the game, reporters began to bombard him with questions that were more and more pointed.
A reporter from "Republic" asked him why he sold the hero Mikhailovich, bought the strong Kovacevic, and hid the only imaginative de la Pena, but why he did not deal with the useless Mendieta.
A reporter from Gazzetta dello Sport asked Zaccheroni sarcastically whether Mendieta, who bought him for 41 million at the time, is still worth 10 million now.
A Dutch reporter asked Zaccheroni where his confidence in defeating Inter Milan came from. Did he rely on words?
A German reporter asked Zaccheroni what his goal is this season? Is it a UEFA Cup berth or relegation?
…
Of course Zaccheroni wanted to get away with it. Although this kind of individual behavior was in line with Zaccheroni's fiery temper, now Zaccheroni could only endure it because his grades were too poor. His grades were too poor.
The coach has no human rights. If he doesn't swallow his anger at this time, the media will definitely make things worse for him, and his life will definitely be even more difficult. So Zaccheroni can only hold back his anger and explain briefly, and then take a chance to leave quickly.
A day in the city of Milan was very difficult for Lazio. There were Inter Milan fans wearing blue and black jerseys everywhere. They were almost caught in the vast sea of people's war. More importantly, not only did the media overwhelmingly favor Inter Milan
, they also lack the support of their own fans, which keeps this team in a state of restlessness. Everyone is eagerly looking forward to the game coming, ending as soon as possible, and going home as soon as possible.
At 20:30 local time on the 6th in Italy and 3:30 on January 7th Beijing time, the focus battle between Inter Milan and Lazio finally kicked off.
The Meazza stadium was completely full, and 88,000 Nerazzurri fans packed the stands. The more than 3,000 Lazio fans who came to support the match were almost like mud in the sea, and there was no trace of them.
The famous Inter Milan hardcore commentator Scarpini came to the court early and explained the background of the game, the league rankings of both sides, the historical results, and the lineups of both sides that had just been obtained.
Inter Milan’s formation is 4-4-2: goalkeeper Toldo, back four: Zanetti, Cannavaro, Matrazic Simic, midfield four: Pirlo, Di Biagio, Seedorf
, Ronaldinho, double striker: Vieri and Ronaldo.
Sitting on the bench were Recoba, Forlan, Robben, Cordoba, Greska and Farinos.
Lazio also has a 4-4-2 formation: goalkeeper Machigiani, four defenders: Negro, Nesta, Cotto, Favalli, four midfielders: Boboski, Gianni Keda, Li
Villani, Mendieta, two forwards: Claudio Lopez, Crespo.
Sitting on the bench are Pancaro, Fiore, Inzaghi Jr. and Stankovic.
Seeing that the game was about to start, the on-site commentator Scarpini began to incite the fans' emotions, "This is a game that no one wants to lose. This is a game that no one can lose. If we lose, the distance between Rome and Rome
We only have a 4-point gap. If Lazio loses, they will basically have to play in the UEFA Cup. In the Meazza, Inter Milan has no advantage over Lazio. In the past eight years, Inter Milan has only played in the Meazza Stadium.
Winning against Lazio once was the curse that Jiang Mu broke last season.
Regardless of whether we beat Lazio or not, we are still the half-time champions, but beating Lazio will undoubtedly boost the team's morale. Although there is no real reward for being in the lead after half the season, eight of the past 10 winter championship teams have finally won the championship.
Winning the league championship is the best reward for us."
