Dick likes to show off, and setting records is a good gimmick to show off. However, Dick knows that setting records must have a prerequisite, and that is that there must be corresponding results to back it up. The previous record of ten consecutive Serie A wins, won
Both of them won the Serie A championship that year. In the next one or two years in history, Roma set a new record of twelve consecutive victories, but failed to win the league championship that season, which made their record less valuable.
A lot. It wasn't until Inter Milan's unprecedented seventeenth consecutive victory and the league championship that year that the new record became more convincing.
In the final analysis, records are just the icing on the cake, not the foundation. Having a record of championships will be more solid and convincing. Having records without championships can only be a record.
So externally, he appears to be very high-profile, but internally he tells the players that records will be meaningful only if they win the championship. Otherwise, it will be meaningless at all. Inter Milan will have double matches in a row in the next week, and the season is here.
The last two months have already reached the sprint stage, and there is no need to think too much about the records that have not yet been obtained.
The opponent on the weekend is Bologna, which is not a very strong opponent. Dick is still preparing to use this league to practice his new tactics. Adriano does not know whether he can recover from his injury before the game against Juventus.
Before the comeback, there are still three games to be played, two league games and one UEFA Cup, which are all times that can be used to practice new tactics.
Juventus has now been eliminated by Liverpool in the quarter-finals. Dick's words have become a fact, but this also allows Juventus to focus all its attention on the league. Now the test has really begun.
.
Inter Milan is still one point ahead of Juventus and five points ahead of AC Milan. There are still nine rounds of the league. Udinese, currently ranked fourth, is also 16 points behind AC Milan, basically maintaining fourth place.
, qualifying for a Champions League is what they need to do most now. The final sprint for the league championship this season is still only the top three in the north!
When the two teams in Rome began to decline, the three northern powers continued to dominate Serie A.
On April 10, in the 30th round of Serie A, Inter Milan challenged Bologna away, AC Milan faced Brescia at home, and Juventus challenged Fiorentina away.
Among these three opponents, Brescia is currently at the bottom with 26 points, but it is not without hope of relegation. Fiorentina is ranked 15th with 31 points and has not yet left the relegation zone. It is only two points ahead of the relegation zone. Bologna's
The ranking is very high. They are ranked seventh with a goal difference advantage. However, their points are only 38 points. There are two teams with the same points as them. In fact, just look at the 29 points in the relegation zone.
Siena, you know how terrifying Serie A's relegation this season will be. There are twenty teams, and when it's close to the thirtieth round, there are still fourteen teams that are not out of danger of being relegated!
In this game, Dick continued to line up the same starting lineup as in the previous UEFA Cup, and Bologna's performance was much more tenacious than Vienna Rapid. They used solid defense to resist Inter Milan's attack, while Inter Milan's performance was much more tenacious.
Milan is not in a hurry on offense. It starts to control the midfield more, gradually advances, and then plans to score goals in positional battles. This approach is relatively difficult in Serie A. However, Dick must implement this approach and quickly
Attack can be the foundation, but in many cases, when faced with more and more iron barrel formations, this kind of attack method will become an important means for Inter Milan to grab points.
Tony did not disappoint Dick. Under such tactics, he got full play. After his performance in previous games, Tony had proved that he had the ability to become an important scorer for Inter Milan. At this time, Dick made him become
No one from Inter Milan's main team had any objections to this.
In a wealthy club like Inter Milan, even the head coach doesn’t just let whoever plays the main role play the main role. Especially when Toni came to Inter Milan, he was relatively unknown, and his reputation was small compared to other players. At that time
If you let him play the core role, there will definitely be a lot of people who are not convinced, but Adriano is different. After all, his performance in Serie A in the past few years has been seen by everyone. After Vieri left, people around him
Reconstruction, other people will not have any objections. At this time, if Tony is pushed to the position of the main offensive force, they will not have any objections. This is Tony's about 20 goals in various competitions so far.
Come to the position!
Under his back and forth impact in the penalty area, Bologna's defense soon became unable to withstand it. After all, Tony's height is a huge threat to all defenders, and now is his most mature time.
His running, confrontation and shooting sense in the penalty area have all reached a peak. If this were not the case, he would not be able to create the miracle of thirty goals in a single season in the next season in history!
In the 31st minute, Zanetti, who assisted, received a pass from Perrotta and sent a pass with his left foot that was not of high quality. However, Toni abruptly grabbed the ball before the opponent's defender could clear it.
Be the first to attack the goal!
Although the old goalkeeper Pagliuca made a save, he still couldn't stop the ball from flying into the gate of Bologna!
Pagliuca also seemed a little helpless about this header. If he were five years younger, he might have reacted faster and might have been able to save the ball, but now...
After being scored by Inter Milan, Bologna wanted to launch a counterattack, but they soon felt the tremendous pressure. Inter Milan's current midfielder is thicker than before, and their running ability is stronger than before. In the middle
Under the interference of the field, Bologna's attack was not smooth. After finally completing an attack reluctantly, the game was once again taken over by Inter Milan.
They did not attack as many times as before, but the suppression and pressure on Bologna was much greater than before. Under such suppression, Bologna had almost no openings to create better opportunities. Instead, they continued to
was firmly suppressed within their own half by Inter Milan's offense.
When Cruz scored another goal in the second half, he showed completely different characteristics from Tony. Although he is also a tall forward, he is more technical and it is rare to see him scoring violent goals.
Yes, a big man of one meter tall can often easily pass people. His technique is not the same as that of Ibrahimovic. It is more concise, but it is still a standard technical flow.
Stankovic sent an overhead kick in the midfield, Tony grabbed a header from the front of the penalty area, and Cruz entered the penalty area in front of the opponent's defender with two strides. He raised his right foot and pretended to shoot. When the opponent's defender desperately pounced,
When he came to block, he quickly spiked the ball to the other side. After passing the last defender, he decisively took off his left foot and volleyed hard in the penalty area!
The ball flew into the gate guarded by Pagliuca for the second time. This goal appeared in the 70th minute of the game. After scoring this goal, it is basically certain that Inter Milan has won this game!
Before the end, substitute Recoba scored again with a direct free kick. Inter Milan defeated Bologna at home 3-0!
After three draws in the previous four rounds of the league, Inter Milan did not panic when they were chased by Juventus with only one point left. They tenaciously won two consecutive victories and continued to maintain their advantage in the standings.
!
In another game, Juventus failed to bite Inter Milan tightly. In a goal battle, they tied with Fiorentina, who was fighting for relegation, three to three. In order to stay in Serie A, Fiorentina
Their performance was crazy. They scored two goals in the first half. After being equalized by Juventus, they took the lead again with Dainelli's header. If it weren't for Ibrahimovic's goal in the second
If he scored twice in the 82nd minute, Juventus would suffer a defeat in the away game!
However, this draw also opened the points between them and Inter Milan to three points again. AC Milan defeated Brescia and the gap between them and Juventus was also narrowed to two points. Now the top three are
The competition for space seems to have become more intense...
In the middle of the week, Inter Milan ushered in the second leg of the UEFA Cup quarter-finals. Since they had a three-goal lead in the away game, Dick did not play as the main force in this game. All substitutes
All got the opportunity to play. Inter Milan finally defeated Rapid Vienna 1-0 at home and reached the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup with a total score of 4-0. None of the other three teams were from the five major leagues.
They are CSKA Moscow of the Russian Premier League, AZ Alkmaar of the Eredivisie and Sporting Lisbon of the Portuguese Premier League. They eliminated Villarreal of La Liga, Newcastle of the Premier League and Auxerre of Ligue 1 and entered the four teams.
powerful.
In the semi-finals, Inter Milan will face CSKA Moscow. They will first face their opponents at home, and then go to the away game. The away game will be on May 6, at which time they will meet the Russian team.
It can be considered a kind of luck, at least they don't need to compete with their opponents in the ice and snow...
"Inter Milan is making great strides towards winning the Triple Crown. Now they are three points ahead in the league, and both the UEFA Cup and the Italian Cup have entered the semi-finals. In Dick's words, they are still 14 years away from winning the Triple Crown.
Eight league games, three UEFA Cup games, three Coppa Italia games... How far will this amazing coach lead Inter Milan to? Let's wait and see! This will break Inter Milan's fifteen-year failure to win the championship.
Is it a curse, or will it fail in the end? Inter Milan has buried many famous coaches in the past time, will Dick become an exception?"
Many people are suspicious. After all, Inter Milan has been infinitely close to the league championship many times before but fell at the last moment. This kind of precedent has a great impact, but for Dick, this impact does not seem to be there.
exist.
He is now just leading the team to continue to move forward towards the ultimate goal. In the 32nd round, Inter Milan's away challenge to Juventus will be the biggest test for Inter Milan and Dick!
In the 31st round, in the first round of the game, Juventus defeated Lecce 5-2 at home. Appia opened the scoring, then Ibrahimovic scored a hat trick, Nedved added the icing on the cake, and Juventus temporarily chased
Tied with Inter Milan on points.
Dick was not affected by this. Under his command, Inter Milan swept Cagliari and Adria 4-0 at home relying on the goals of Perrotta, Toni, Cruz and substitute Martins.
Nuo came on as a substitute for 20 minutes and performed well. Inter Milan continues to lead the standings with a three-point advantage!
The game three days later will be a decisive battle between the two sides!
