Two consecutive draws, from a seven-point lead to a three-point lead. When Inter Milan seemed to have established a huge advantage, the sudden two consecutive draws allowed Juventus to breathe again and began to tenaciously push the lagging behind.
The disadvantage has been reduced to three points!
"Our state has recovered, and we will only perform better and better in the next games." Capello said in an interview: "We made a lot of mistakes before, and now it is time to make up for it.
When we made this mistake, we were in poor condition before, but now we have slowly recovered, and Inter Milan should have started to decline from a peak. Next, it is time for us to start catching up with Inter Milan!"
"Three points ahead? Aren't we still ahead? You know we were still lagging behind before the winter break. Now, overall, we still have many more points than Juventus. This is our advantage.
Besides, we are still undefeated, would it be surprising to encounter a few draws occasionally? Parma did not play well in the first half of the season, they started to play their own level in the second half of the season, Udinese is ranked
Among the top four strong teams, AC Milan is a giant that still has a chance to win the championship. I am very satisfied with a draw with such a team because we are still in the lead. The draw allows us to maintain our advantage, which is for the overall advantage.
Advantageous. There are only twelve rounds left in the league. We have a three-point advantage over Juventus and a seven-point advantage over AC Milan. This is enough! Want to know what our advantage looks like? I
I can tell you that we have four major advantages..."
The reporters had to interrupt Dick's tirade, and then they said: "Mr. Dick, don't forget, you are only ahead by three points now!"
"Three points is a lot, in such a difficult league..."
"But you were seven points ahead before that!"
"Before the winter break we were still one point behind."
"If Juventus ties the points or even overtakes them, will you still be so happy?"
"What are you afraid of? There is still a face-to-face competition with Juventus!"
After Dick's interview was spread, it was obvious that Dick showed a lot of confidence. Although sometimes the change from seven points to three points seemed to be a matter of a game, Dick's self-confidence was enough.
confidence.
However, the outside world believes that Dick is being consistently tough. This person never seems to know what it means to have no confidence - does he compare Serie A to La Liga and Bundesliga? You must know that Serie A has always been the most difficult game to play.
It is also the league where it is easiest to lose points to weak teams!
It is not uncommon for a seven-point lead to be overtaken. For example, in the 1998-99 season, Lazio was instantly overtaken by a seven-point advantage. In Cooper's first season, Inter Milan also led by five points in the end.
In this case, Juventus overtook them in the last round!
Juventus' tenacity is well known.
And the last words Dick said made everyone in Juventus feel humiliated. From Dick's tone, it seemed that he was sure to get the three points in that face-to-face meeting...
Although Inter Milan's results this season are excellent, they do not have a high winning rate against strong teams. They drew two games with AC Milan and were also tied by Udinese. They can now have such a performance
The advantage is more because they have a top winning rate against mid-to-lower teams. They win almost every game, and they can maintain a draw even if they fail to win. This kind of performance can be guaranteed against Juventus in an away game.
Definitely winning, that’s too exaggerated...
"Inter Milan hired an excellent coach, but this coach seems to think that Serie A is easy to play. In the first half of the season, I think the Serie A teams were a little too polite to Inter Milan, which allowed them to score so many points.
.But now, we should let Dick know that Serie A is not an easy league, and what he faces is the most difficult competition in the world!"
Moggi jumped out during the interview: "For example, in the next round, Lecce should let Inter Milan see what real offense is."
Hearing this, the whole world laughed. Everyone knows that Lecce's head coach Zeman is a famous anti-Juventus fighter. His relationship with Moggi has always been very bad. Now Moggi actually said this.
It comes out, it can be seen that Inter Milan's performance this season has indeed put too much pressure on Juventus...
"Coach Zeman is an excellent coach. I have always admired Coach Zeman's persistence in offense. I think the next round of the league will be a wonderful offensive battle." Dick smiled.
answer.
Zeman said in an interview: "I am a head coach, and the coach's responsibility is to lead the team to victory. Lecce will try its best in this game, but I have to say that Dick has been so far in Italy
He deserves the results he has achieved so far. I don’t know if other Serie A teams were polite to Inter Milan, but Lecce has already exerted all its abilities against them.
We didn't play very well against Juventus."
Zeman's words are in line with his character. The Czech coach is famous for his dislike of Juventus, and Moggi and Juventus have spared no effort to suppress him. Zeman has hardly coached any giants, so he can only
Coaching in the middle and lower reaches of the team, you will always encounter some troubles during the coaching process, such as the players you want to introduce cannot come, and you suffer some losses in the game... Zeman has never bowed his head, and he comes every once in a while.
Just make a speech that despises Moggi and Juventus, making Moggi hate this Czech to death.
After the last round of the league, there were no games in the middle of the week, so everyone still had energy to engage in a war of words. After a week's rest, Inter Milan, which had taken a good rest, began to compete in the league again.
Dick's previous war of words attracted most of the firepower and prevented the players from being exposed to media attacks. Inter Milan's players were still having a good time this midweek.
In this round of the league, Materazzi finally returned from the ban, which increased Dick's confidence in the defense. In this game, he sent out the entire main lineup, Tony and Adriano
Partnering with the striker, Pandev is responsible for the final pass behind him, Zanetti and Perota Stankovic provide midfield protection, and the five veterans of the defense play at the same time...
At their home court, Inter Milan used excellent offense to attack Lecce's defense, and Lecce's players also began to use offense to reduce their pressure - under the leadership of Zeman, Lecce no matter what
In a game, you must use offense to deal with your opponent, no matter where you are.
Inter Milan's strong attack after the opening created a corner kick through a series of passes. Stankovic took the corner kick. Tony's take-off at the front point attracted the attention of most of the opponent's people, but the short Cordoba was
He showed off his excellent jumping ability in the middle, swung his head in front of the opponent's defender, and headed the ball into the blind spot of the goal!
Materazzi and Cordoba high-fived in celebration, while Cannavaro shook his head helplessly. Materazzi and Cordoba both scored goals in the league, but he hasn't had any goals so far.
A goal...
But this is also related to their responsibilities on the field. Cannavaro is now completely focused on defense and has become a full-time defensive player. Although Materazzi is a sweeper, when he gets corner kicks and free kicks,
, His height and ability to grab points are also a very important offensive method. Cordoba is playing as a right back. Although he rarely attacks forward, he can still help in the offense. Inter Milan's back line
Although the defense is a defensive line, Cannavaro is the only player in this defense who is purely defensive!
In fact, the tactics used by Dick in Inter Milan this season are largely based on the tactics of Juventus next season. Historically, in the next season, Juventus basically defends and attacks.
, using the outstanding performance of the frontcourt attackers to tear apart the opponent's defense while maintaining a solid defense. This approach has been of great help this season.
Lecce was not discouraged after conceding the ball. For them, conceding the ball was a common occurrence, and not scoring would be the end of the world - so they immediately launched a fierce counterattack and attack!
Zeman is indeed a very unique and capable coach. He can be called the world's top level in terms of coaching offense, but he is still lacking in the overall aspect. Although Chewanton left this season, he quickly cultivated
With the emergence of outstanding attackers like Bodinov and Vucinic, after launching the attack, they quickly scored a goal in the back-and-forth!
Vucinic started to break through with the ball from the wing. After attracting attention, he passed the ball to Bodinov in the center. Seeing that Cannavaro was coming towards him, Bodinov did not force the attack.
The ball was passed back, and the forward midfielder Pinardi hit a very weird long shot from the ground. The ball flew from Toldo's hand into the dead center of the goal!
"Lecce equalized the score! Although the head coaches of the two teams seemed to be sympathetic to each other before the game started, neither side relaxed at all during the game! Now the game only started for more than 20 minutes, and both sides scored goals.
One goal, will there be more goals in the next games? Let's wait and see!"
This game did not disappoint the commentator. Inter Milan, which has played beautiful offensive football this season, met the crazy offensive Lecce in the game. Want to score fewer goals? It is really an unlikely thing...
Adriano, who had some ups and downs after the start of the second half, regained his style in the first half of the season in this game. His forced breakthroughs and cooperation gave Lecce's defense a headache to defend. At the end of the first half
Previously, after receiving a pass from Pandev, he kicked off a powerful shot in the penalty area, giving Inter Milan the lead again!
Lecce equalized the score again after the start of the second half. This time it was Vucinic who scored the goal. He beat Cannavaro in front of the goal and scored with a header. Lecce evened the score to 2-2.
However, after Perrotta received Pandev's pass and entered the penalty area with a diagonal shot into the far corner to help Inter Milan take the lead again, Lecce became somewhat unsustainable - after all, they had consumed too much energy in the previous confrontation.
Compared with Inter Milan in terms of physical fitness and condition, their background is still far behind.
Dick began to mobilize his troops at this time. Martins and Cruz were substituted. Martins made a contribution soon after he came on the field. He broke into the penalty area and was tripped to create a penalty kick. Adriano took the penalty.
After scoring twice, Inter Milan defeated Lecce with a big score of 4 to 2. After only scoring one goal in each game in the first two rounds, Inter Milan once again restored their previous scoring style!
