Four hundred and seventieth chapters fearless Palermo

"Inter Milan, who lost the European Super Cup, went on a killing spree in Treviso. Toni scored a hat-trick and continued the good form of last season - for this, no one is better than the coach of the Italian national team.

Pi is even happier. After all, Vieri is not young anymore. Now that the national team has an extra Toni at the center position, he doesn’t have to worry about the national team’s center position..."

"Adriano did not play in this game, but he didn't seem to have any objections. He would applaud with his teammates for every goal... From this aspect, we have to admire Dick, Adriano is like this

Talented young players are all obedient under him, which is one of the reasons why Inter Milan's performance has begun to improve in the past two seasons. The entire team has begun to participate in games with full play to its own strength. Such Inter Milan

, worth looking forward to.”

"Figo scored his first goal after joining Inter Milan. This goal benefited from Sneijder's exquisite long pass in the midfield. Dick's transformation in the Inter Milan midfield has initially achieved results.

Figo's awareness and experience, Sneijder's scheduling and ability to pass mid-range and long passes have made Inter Milan's midfield more technical. Yaya Toure, who came on as a substitute, also showed his ability in offense and defense.

The performance at both ends was good. In the last assist, his physical fitness was outstanding! Such a player may not be the main force, but in a long season, his value will be great. They do not seem to be affected by the European Super Cup.

The impact of the defeat quickly entered the game state!"

After the first round, Inter Milan relied on the advantage of goal difference to reach the top of the list, but then they disbanded - the number of international players in Inter Milan reached an unprecedented height this season, Toldo, Matra

Qi, Cannavaro, Perrotta, Zanetti, and Toni were selected for the Italian national team, Zanetti, Mascherano and Cruz were selected for the Argentine national team, Adriano was selected for the Brazilian national team, and Cole

Doba is in the Colombian national team, Stankovic is in the Yugoslavia national team, Sneijder is in the Dutch national team, Pandev is in the Macedonian national team, Yaya Toure is in the Ivory Coast national team, Figo returns to the Portuguese national team, Inter Milan 20

Sixteen of the five-member first team will play for their respective national teams. If Inter Milan had not sold international players such as Recoba, Martins, and Karagounis this summer, their number of international players would be even greater.

Under such circumstances, there are only nine people left in the first team, and the training camp will certainly not go smoothly. Dick also brought up the youth team. Unfortunately, this youth team does not have many outstanding players.

, only one Bonucci caught Dick's eye. Balotelli and his group have not yet made their mark. Balotelli just joined Inter Milan's youth team in the summer, and now he is only fifteen years old. Dick

I feel like I probably won’t be able to train this little idiot...

With a shortage of major generals, the training effect is naturally mediocre. At most, it just allows the players to recover. However, Dick also promised the substitutes that more young people may be used in the next round of games. This is because the first

After the second round of the league, Inter Milan will usher in the first round of the Champions League and challenge Real Betis away from home. At this time, the Champions League is naturally more important, especially in the second round when they will face Chelsea at home.

Under the circumstances, it becomes even more important.

Inter Milan's international players are basically the main players in the national team, and Dick has to make an assessment based on their status, allowing players with better physical fitness to participate in this game, while players with greater physical exertion rest to prepare for the Champions League game.

, now Inter Milan has sixteen or seven players who can play the main role. If they are not used properly, it will be a waste.

Time passed quickly. After the national team game ended, Inter Milan began to refocus and prepare for the second round of the league. In this round, their opponent was Palermo and went to Sicily to challenge.

Palermo's performance last season was quite good. As a newly promoted team, they ranked sixth and finally qualified for a UEFA Cup. Their actions in the summer also proved that they are also an ambitious team and have not changed.

What are the main players? The players who left are not the main players except Zauri, who left freely when his contract expired. And they also spent part of the money this summer, using 8 million euros to recruit high center forward Kara Jovo from Brescia -

-After Toni left Brescia, this center was once considered Brescia's top center. At the same time, they also spent 7.5 million euros to introduce Nigerian forward Makinwa from Atlanta. This forward is said to be faster than Martins.

, his performance in Atlanta last season was pretty good.

Also joining are Brazilian winger Adriano, local winger Gasbaroni and local forward Pepe. These players are all powerful players. With the joining of these people, Palermo is obviously not

I don't want to continue to be relegated, but I hope to make a difference in Serie A.

Looking at their defense line, Dick also felt that it was a bit difficult to deal with - Zaccardo, Barzagli, Grosso... This is almost the Italian national team's defense line a year later, although there has been a break in Italian players in recent years.

It's more serious, otherwise these three players probably wouldn't have a chance to be selected for the Italian national team. But with these players, there is still the most fundamental reason why Palermo can perform well in the next few years.

Before this game, Dick was also a little troubled with the formation - Zanetti was injured during the national team game and would miss a week. This was something Dick did not expect.

He had almost no injuries in his career in the past. His self-discipline and diligence have reduced his probability of injury to almost nothing. However, he is not really made of iron after all. In the national team's games, he is still a left winger.

His ankle was sprained. In order to ensure that he could play in the next more important game, Dick also chose to let him rest.

Once Zanetti rests, there is actually only one candidate left on the left. Arbeloa will become the starting left back in this game. Chielini Dick does not intend to let him return to the left.

, If you want to change to a new position, you have to stick to it. It is even worse to waver. It will take Chiellini two years to play the central defender position at Juventus in the future. Maybe it is not always possible.

The factors that swing back and forth between the two positions are inside.

In this game, Chiellini also played, but he did not replace Materazzi, but Cannavaro, who had played two full games with the national team and looked very tired. He will play with Materazzi.

Trazzi partners in the center and takes up the position of attacking central defender - Dick also wants to let him practice in the marking position. Just playing deep is not a good thing. The various responsibilities of the central defender

It's a good thing that you have to get used to it.

The right back is still Cordoba. Although Cordoba has also played two games, his physical fitness is not a big problem. Originally, the defense has sent two substitutes. If Cole is replaced

If Doba also wins, then the defense will be too young.

In the midfield, Zanetti, who did not play for the national team, got the starting spot, Sneijder only played one game for the national team and also got the starting spot, and Figo was put on the bench by Dick.

After a break, Stankovic and Perrotta played on the wings, and Adriano and Toni were the forward partners.

Sicily is a very legendary place. It is said that it is the base camp of the Mafia. However, Dick has been to Sicily once and did not think there was any problem. Although the Italian Mafia is now very powerful, it has penetrated into almost the entire country.

In all aspects, they are trying their best to move closer to the light. The illegal business goes underground, and the core of the mafia becomes the upper class people... Such a mafia will not do anything illegal at will.

The thing is basically the same for the underworld in any country. In the beginning, they will do whatever it takes to get started, and after they succeed, they will start to clean up - without exception.

Therefore, Dick came to Sicily with no psychological burden, but thought about how to defeat his opponents on the road. The Palermo team was very effective at home, although they played Parma in the first round.

It was a draw, but that was in an away game. At home, they now have the confidence to challenge the top teams.

Veteran Colini is their midfield organizer. This bald midfielder is a good deep-lying midfielder. If he were not too old, players like him would be very popular in wealthy clubs, and such a player

It is also more difficult to defend, so Dick gave Sneijder a heavier task today, which is to move up to the previous point. In addition to organizing the attack, he also has to shoulder the important task of interfering with Collini's organization.

Amid the cheers of the Palermo fans, players from both sides appeared - Sicily has never had a strong football team, and Italians are famous for their love of football, even gangsters, and this kind of

People are always crazy in the stands, so they also made Palermo's home court quite fanatical.

But for the players of Inter Milan, they have not experienced this kind of environment. So what if they are crazy? It seems that there has never been a case of fans entering the stadium to attack players in Italian history. Italian fans are sometimes very fucked up.

, but their violent tendencies were not too high. That is to say, in the next few years, with the decline of Italy's economy, fans vented their grievances on the stadium, which led to an increase in violent incidents - which is still very high now.

peaceful...

Palermo did not get timid after the start of the game, but continued to struggle with Inter Milan in the midfield. Figo was not on the court, and the responsibility of controlling the midfield was given to Sneijder, and Sneijder had to divide

He focused on defending Colini, which also affected Inter Milan's offense to a certain extent.

Under such circumstances, Adriano began to retreat more to get the ball to drive the offense - this is the benefit of such a top forward. In addition to scoring, he can also rely on his breakthroughs to create opportunities, allowing

The team's offense became sharper.

Five minutes after the game started, Palermo took the lead in taking a shot. Karachovo, who played for Palermo for the first time, received a direct pass from his teammate and shot from a very small angle. Cesar blocked the shot.

Very good, he blocked the ball and returned to the penalty area to help the defending captain Cordoba make a big kick.

The ball flew towards the front court, Tony used his body to hold Barzagli, and then jumped up to top the ball. Adriano received the ball and passed it to Stankovic, who started to move along the wing.

The breakthrough, after being hindered, was passed crosswise to Sneijder, who came up to respond. Sneijder stopped the ball and got rid of it, and then handed it to Adriano. Adriano turned around and shot, and the ball was slightly higher than the crossbar.

Each side had one shot, and Palermo looked unafraid when facing Inter Milan!
