After defeating Parma 4-1 at home, Inter Milan ended its three-game losing streak. After this game, their head coach Dick was able to return to the sidelines to coach. This is undoubtedly good news.
But there is equally good news - in this round of competition, AC Milan was defeated by Florence 1-3 in the away game. Florence's three young players Pazzini, Bodinov and Montoli
Wo scored one goal each, and AC Milan only scored one goal by Gilardino, which shortened the gap between Inter Milan and them to two points!
Juventus seems to be getting better and better after losing to AC Milan. In this round, they unexpectedly swept Roma 4-1 in the away game, leaving AC Milan three points behind and continuing to lead Inter Milan by five points.
many!
Such a performance is of course related to the fact that Juventus also performed well in the Champions League and qualified early. AC Milan's loss was also affected by the upcoming fourth round of the Champions League. They have not qualified yet.
The away loss to Eindhoven in the last round left them with only five points. If they don't win the next two rounds, it may be difficult to qualify from the group - so Ancelotti hid Schep in this league game against Florence.
There are many main players such as Cenko and Kaká, but Gilardino is the only one in the frontcourt, which will naturally be affected.
Since they have qualified in advance, Inter Milan will naturally not go all out in the Champions League in midweek, but since it is home, Inter Milan's substitutes will also do their best - Toldo, Maggio, Arbeloa,
The starting lineup of Andreoli, Chiellini, Zanetti, Yaya Toure, Chigarini, Stankovic, Pandev, and Di Natale is actually not bad.
Berroya's assist ability is good, because the four players in the midfield are all players with certain defensive abilities, so the assist ability of these two young people has been exerted to a certain extent, and they also provide players in the penalty area.
Enough firepower.
Yaya Toure's back-row attack opened the scoring for Inter Milan. Although this Ivory Coast player is not Inter Milan's main force this season, his performance is quite good, especially the power of his back-row attack.
He is big, and with his physique, good foot skills, and comprehensive scoring ability, his forward penetration has become a very important scoring method for Inter Milan.
Di Natale expanded Inter Milan's lead in the second half. After switching to the role of scorer, Di Natale also showed his ability, although he did not have many opportunities to play.
But he is always able to score goals. The existence of him and Cruz is to provide Inter Milan with firepower when Tony and Adriano are not around, but Pandev's characteristics are different from them. His passing is the key to international football.
What Milan values.
In the end, Inter Milan defeated the visiting Real Betis with a score of 2-0. Real Betis did not work too hard in this game, because they had almost no chance to advance to the next round, and their qualification for the UEFA Cup was also limited.
It's very stable. Instead of fighting against Inter Milan who are all substitutes, it is better to save their energy and play in the league. Their current situation in the league is not particularly good.
In another game, Chelsea easily defeated Anderlecht, which was completely defeated, and also appeared in the group ahead of schedule with ten points. However, what made Mourinho speechless was that Inter Milan is now five points ahead of Chelsea and ranks third in the group.
I also got it in advance, and the last round of the home game really became an insignificant game...
This also made UEFA feel very unhappy. Originally, Inter Milan's away game against Chelsea in the last round could have become a big gimmick. Now it's great. Inter Milan has won five consecutive games and Chelsea has three wins, one draw and one loss. In the group,
The first and second place have been decided before the final round. How many people will pay attention to the last game? How big a loss is this to the Champions League?
But they can't blame Inter Milan and Chelsea for playing so well that the rest of the group stage games became a mere formality - if they didn't play well, they had to risk being killed in the last round and deliberately missed the mark? So they
No matter how angry I am, I can only blame Anderlecht and Betis for not living up to expectations and causing no trouble for Inter Milan and Chelsea...
Dick didn't care much about this. In fact, after qualifying early for the Champions League group stage, he had already forgotten about the Champions League. From now until the start of the Champions League knockout rounds at the end of February next year, during this period
Within this period, Inter Milan can focus all its attention on the league - which is why he chose this time to attack. Even if he is suspended, the results in the league during this period will not be affected too much.
The big problem is that the next step is to go all out in the league - although Inter Milan will soon participate in the Italian Cup, this season, Dick's interest in the Italian Cup has also dropped a lot.
Besides, as the top eight teams in Serie A last season, Inter Milan only started participating in the Coppa Italia competition from the fourth round, which means that it starts directly from the top 16 - the format of the Coppa Italia this season is quite good.
Foolishly, attractive teams only began to appear in the top 16. Italy has never paid much attention to its own cup competition. The Italian Cup is not only far less historical than the FA Cup and attracts the attention of fans, but also the Copa del Rey in Spain.
There is a big gap in comparison.
Dick felt that he had no interest at all in this kind of game where "you can win the championship after playing eight games". Moreover, he only participated in the game in the top 16, and there were even fewer games for the substitute players to practice. This was really disappointing.
Dick feels that the current Italian Cup is a piece of cake.
After returning from the Champions League, Inter Milan began to focus entirely on the league. The next two rounds were against Messina away from home, and then returned to home against Ascoli. Neither of these opponents
A very strong team, and then in the fifteenth round, Inter Milan will usher in the first Milan Derby of the season!
As long as it can pass AC Milan, Inter Milan will be closer than ever to the 58-game unbeaten record. In the next league, there will be no particularly strong team. Inter Milan may expand the record to
A point where it is difficult for the opponent to catch up!
This is Dick's second goal in the league this season. The first goal is of course to win the championship, and the second goal... Dick, who takes breaking records as his own mission, will naturally not let such a limelight go.
Chance!
Although the record belongs to the team, as the head coach who led the team to create records, Dick's name will still be engraved in the history books. For Dick, he is very eager for this kind of thing!
"There are still four games until the Milan derby!"
After returning to Milan, Dick immediately announced this to the players. In the next two rounds of the league, an Italian Cup quarter-finals and a Champions League group stage sixth round match, after that, the International
Milan will welcome AC Milan!
From now on, Dick will focus on his main lineup to play in the league. The substitutes will only play in the Italian Cup and Champions League games.
On November 27, in the thirteenth round of Serie A, when Inter Milan challenged Messina away from home, Dick sent out all his main players.
Messina's players were almost crying. When they faced Lazio and Sampdoria before, Inter Milan had fine-tuned their main players to a certain extent. How could they send in all their main players when facing us?
Brother, is it necessary to do this...
Inter Milan ran over Messina mercilessly. Toni, who ended his consecutive scoring record in the last round, performed well in the game. He scored two goals with his head and kick, scoring the 17th and 17th goals of the season.
With eighteen league goals, he is now far ahead of the scorers list, eight goals ahead of second place Trezeguet - Trezeguet scored his tenth of the season in this round.
To score goals, the efficiency of ten goals in thirteen rounds is good enough, but Tony's state... can only be amazing!
Adriano was naturally not to be outdone. He scored his ninth league goal of the season in the game. Perrotta and Sneijder added the icing on the cake. Inter Milan swept Messina 5-0 away from home.
AC Milan defeated Lecce 2-1 and Juventus defeated Treviso 3-1. There was no change in the top three rankings.
In mid-week, Inter Milan, which sent all substitutes, defeated Parma 1-0 away from home. Di Natale scored the only goal of the game. Inter Milan won the Italian Cup quarter-finals.
Get the upper hand.
On December 4th, Inter Milan faced the newly promoted Ascoli at home. Dick once again sent out the main lineup, and it was another massacre. Although Ascoli tried his best to bite Inter Milan twice, they themselves were beaten.
Although Tony only scored one goal in the game, Adriano scored twice. Together with the goals of Materazzi, Mascherano and Stankovic who came on the bench, Inter Milan
They swept Ascoli 6-2 at home and won three consecutive games after three consecutive draws. They scored 15 goals in the three games and told everyone that the terrifying Inter Milan team was back!
Juventus defeated Fiorentina with a solid 2-1 away game and continued to lead Inter Milan by five points. However, for AC Milan fans, they were extremely anxious, except that Inter Milan had extended their unbeaten record to five.
Fourteen games away, their team lost to Chievo 1-2 away from home in this round of the league. All five points ahead of Inter Milan disappeared, and instead they were overtaken by one point!
How can they not be anxious when they are in such a bad state before the Milan derby?
The biggest factor is still because of the Champions League. Although they won the last round, they still could not guarantee that they could qualify in the group. In the last round, they faced Schalke 04 at home, which had the same points as them, and was only one point less than them.
Eindhoven is at home against the Turkish team Fenerbahce, which is already destined to be at the bottom. If they cannot get at least a draw with less than 2-2 goals, then they will be eliminated in the group stage.
!
It is precisely because of this that AC Milan hides its main players in the league and loses - AC Milan, which is dominated by veterans, has a weaker bench...
In the middle of the week, Dick flew to London with only eighteen players. In addition to all the substitutes, he also brought four members of the youth team - youth training players under the age of 21 are not allowed to register for the Champions League.
Restricted, he left all the main players in Milan to rest. Anyway, they had already won the first place in the group in advance...
