"Although I said that in the interview, basically, Roma will not be our opponent yet... They do have many outstanding players now, but Spalletti has just taken office and cannot use his tactics.
The idea is to tell all the players that in this game, as long as we can perform as we should, there will be no problem in winning this game. What I hope to see is our proper performance and the effect during training.
, this is the first official game, and it is also a small test for our summer training, do you understand?"
When facing the players in the locker room, Dick showed more confidence.
His confidence is justified, especially after he was named in Roma's starting lineup.
The goalkeeper is the newly joined Brazilian goalkeeper Doni, the defense is the right back Panucci, the left back Coufre, the center back is the partner of Chivu and Mexes, and the midfielders are De Rossi, Pizarro and Taddei.
, Totti came forward, and his strike partners were Montella and Nonda - judging from this starting list, Spalletti still continued the tactics that Roma often used last season. After all, they just came to a new team.
Focusing on the current players and then making adjustments gradually is the most suitable approach.
With such a formation and tactics, Dick is not worried. The only thing he needs to worry about is whether he will be attacked by the opponent's two forwards if he presses higher.
Go, forwards Adriano and Tony, the tactics are based on the first plan we had during training, do you have any questions?"
"No!"
The players answered in unison, Dick nodded with satisfaction, and then waved the players away.
"Will there be any problems if we let Cesar play the main role now?" Marina came over and asked.
"Problem? No problem. We will be higher in this game, and Roma's quick attack ability is also good. It just tests Cesar's timing of attack... In the next European Super Cup, I will let
Toldo will become the main player. After a few games, who is more qualified to be the main player will naturally come out." Dick said after smiling slightly.
"Using the competition as a touchstone?" Marina asked thoughtfully: "Will this affect the results?"
"The season has just started, it doesn't matter." Dick laughed: "This problem always needs to be solved. It is better to solve it sooner rather than later. When it is officially solved, I will talk to Toldo."
In the first official game, Toldo lost his main position. Dick didn't know what Toldo would think about this situation, but for other players, they began to officially feel that the competition this season will really
It will be very intense!
In fact, for other players, such as Zanetti and Stankovic who did not enter the main lineup this time, they actually do not have many opinions. After all, there will be many games this season, as long as they have the ability
, don’t worry about not having a chance to play.
August 21st came quickly. Inter Milan fans were very enthusiastic about this game. They were undefeated throughout last season, which made them full of expectations for this season. After winning the league championship
After that, they began to be extremely eager to win the Champions League, and their actions in the transfer market in the summer also gave them more confidence. The players who left Inter Milan were basically substitutes, but they introduced top players like Figo.
It is natural for Dutch internationals like superstars and Sneijder to be stronger than last season, but with so many good players, whether they can perform at the top level is another matter, at least in Dick's case
Under the leadership of , the fans are still very confident - the outstanding results last season are enough to prove this.
Since the Italian Super Cup was established in 1988, Inter Milan has only won the Italian Super Cup once, which was their last league championship in 1989. They defeated the cup champion Sampdoria with two goals at home and won the second Italian Super Cup.
The champions of the Super Cup, in such a long period of time, they only faced the double champion Lazio in 2000 as cup runners-up, but lost to Lazio with a score of 3 to 4. This time they participated in the Italian Super Cup.
This is their third participation in the Italian Super Cup in its eighteen-year history.
"There is a big gap between the starting lineups of both sides in this game compared to last season. Among Roma's new players, Doni, Pizarro, Taddei and Nonda all appeared in the starting lineup.
As for Inter Milan, the newly joined Figo and Sneijder appeared in the starting lineup, while the other four new players did not get a chance to play. What is interesting is that both sides used Brazilian goalkeepers in this game.
As the main goalkeeper, Roma used Doni as goalkeeper. This is not very surprising. After all, Antonioli's performance last season was not very good. Doni performed well in the pre-season warm-up match. And Inter Milan
It's a bit strange. Last season's substitute goalkeeper Cesar became the main goalkeeper. You must know that in the past five seasons, Toldo has been Inter Milan's main goalkeeper, and his performance last season was also very good.
Yes, is Cesar's performance so good? He and Toldo shared the main position in the warm-up match. Now it seems that Dick also wants to start upgrading the goalkeeper."
Inter Milan fans didn't think too much about Toldo not appearing in the starting lineup - it was just a game. Cesar also played some games last season and his performance was pretty good.
The fans are not too disgusted with this short Brazilian goalkeeper, not to mention that this is a decision made by Dick. Through his outstanding results last season, Dick has completely conquered the hearts of Inter Milan fans.
The decisions made are always convincing.
When the players from both sides came out, the cheers of Inter Milan fans rang out in the stands.
The captains of both teams met in the middle of the court, and Dick returned to his position, waiting for the game to begin.
Roma, who kicked off the ball first, took the lead in attacking.
The ball quickly passed through the midfield. Inter Milan initially intercepted in the midfield. When they saw the opponent's pass quickly, they began to shrink their defense. Totti broke through on the left side of the penalty area and was blocked by Cordoba.
After crossing the baseline, Totti took a corner kick himself. De Rossi, who stepped in to assist, nodded and hit the goal. The ball slightly missed the near post, and Roma took the lead in creating a threat.
Soon, Inter Milan also launched a counterattack. Sneijder immediately gave the ball to Figo in the middle. Figo saw that no one came up to press him. After observing the situation in the penalty area, he
With a decisive kick and pass, Tony jumped high in the penalty area and shook his head to attack the goal. The ball went over the crossbar.
Two minutes into the game, both sides announced their presence with a header each. Such a fast attack frequency is enough to prove that both sides attach great importance to this game!
In the fifth minute, short cheers rang out over the Meazza Stadium. Adriano smashed Figo's corner kick into the Roma gate in the penalty area, but the referee's whistle soon sounded.
, Adriano made a move with his hand before heading the goal, pushing Mexes down, and the goal was invalid.
Dick shouted a few words to the court, and then sat down. Adriano's action just now was not obvious, or the penalty was a bit reluctant, but since the referee made the penalty, there was nothing he could do...
Roma then launched an attack, and then they were stubbornly blocked by Inter Milan in the midfield. Inter Milan's defense position was obviously advanced, which gave them an absolute advantage in the midfield. Through strong pressing and running, Roma
The transmission seems to be difficult to start smoothly.
"Inter Milan played very actively...their defense line was raised beyond the 30-meter area! However, this style of play will leave a lot of gaps in the backcourt. You must know that Montella is not slow.
If the shooter has a chance, I'm afraid it will cause a big problem for their defense!"
Dick sat calmly. Of course there would be such a flaw in doing so, but the two full-backs were very focused and their speed was not slow, including Cannavaro. Even if the opponent made a direct pass,
can also react.
After a period of entanglement in the midfield, what worried the commentator really happened - Totti received the ball in the middle, raised his foot and sent a beautiful shot just before Mascherano and Sneijder were about to form a double-team.
A diagonal pass, Montella came in from the wing at high speed, and it was about to become a one-man attack!
When the Inter Milan fans couldn't help but start to exclaim, Cordoba showed his speed, turned around quickly, started running at the same time as Montella, and then intercepted the ball in front of Montella, and then
The ball was passed back to Cesar, who immediately made a big kick to clear the ball.
Inter Milan fans applauded from the stands. Cordoba's defensive return was indeed timely and accurate. Such a defensive return can sometimes lead to a goal!
The bald Spalletti looked at the situation on the field thoughtfully. He still needed to take another look to see what kind of mystery there was in Inter Milan's tactics.
However, before he could continue to observe, Inter Milan took the lead in launching a very threatening attack.
Sneijder took the ball at the top of the arc in the center circle, and then raised his foot and passed it straight to Tony in front. Tony retreated to get the ball, and passed the ball before De Rossi fouled. Adriano took the ball and started.
He broke through with the ball, and when the opponent began to focus on him, Adriano raised his foot and distributed the ball to the right.
Figo took the ball, and he began to dribble forward on the right. Although he was not young now and his speed was declining, it did not decline very significantly. When Kufre came up to defend in a panic, he
A change of direction back and forth makes the opponent's center of gravity begin to become unstable, and then the ball is moved near the baseline to accelerate the breakthrough!
When a player like him gets a gap in a good position and no one comes to defend him, his passing accuracy is almost astonishingly high!
After catching up with the ball, Figo swung his right foot and passed a cross with an excellent arc and placement. The ball fell just between the two central defenders Mexes and Chivu. Tony jumped high.
, facing the falling ball and pushing the ball out comfortably!
Even though Doni made a ball move, the ball flew past his hand and went directly into the net!
Inter Milan took the lead in breaking the deadlock in the game. The scorer was Luca Toni, and the assist was Luis Figo, who joined this season!
When the cheers of the Inter Milan fans rang out, Tony rushed to Figo excitedly, and then gave Figo a hug!
For a center like him, there is nothing more satisfying than having excellent crosses from the wing!
