For Inter Milan fans, not only did Inter Milan not spend any money this summer, but the fact that Ade's net income reached 35 million euros due to Ade's departure also made them feel a little worried, because to put it bluntly, modern football is better than
Money, whoever invests more and recruits more will be able to achieve better results. In the past two seasons, Dick said he didn’t invest much, but in fact he invested a lot. In the first season, he spent 30 million in transfer funds.
They spent everything. Although they didn't spend much in the second season, the team recovered a lot of money from Martin Srecoba and others. But what about this season? Not only did they not invest, but
He also made 35 million. The signing was Ibrahimovic to replace Ade. The Brazilian full-back Maicon was probably there as a substitute. It is easy to ignore the promotion of a young defender from the youth team. From the paper
On the surface, Inter Milan seems to be weaker this season than last season.
For Dick, his strength may have been weakened, but the pressure in the league will definitely not be as great as last season. Last season, Juventus's scoring rate was so high, which also forced Inter Milan to
A lot of energy is consumed in the league, but what about this season? The opponents in the league can hardly cause any trouble to Inter Milan. The only ones they have to deal with are the powerful players in the Champions League.
Even in the Champions League, Dick is aware that his biggest opponents are starting to have problems themselves. Chelsea is due to the conflicts between Mourinho and Abramovich gradually becoming prominent, and Barcelona is starting to have problems with Rijkaard's lack of ability to control the team.
It was exposed that Real Madrid had not yet recovered from the Champions League, Bayern was also relatively weak, and apart from AC Milan and Liverpool, who had saved their reputations, Dick really didn't think this Champions League would be that difficult.
What is needed now is running-in. The results at the beginning of the season may not be very good, but Dick believes that as long as the new team can successfully run-in, whether it is in the league or the Champions League, the results will gradually get better.
.
After the pre-season training, Inter Milan ushered in the official games of this season. The first two official games were cup games. The Italian Super Cup played against last season’s Italian Cup champion Roma, and the European Super Cup played against last season’s League.
Cup champion, Sevilla from La Liga.
In both games, Inter Milan ultimately won, especially in the European Super Cup. This was the first time in Inter Milan’s history that they won the European Super Cup – Inter Milan had won two consecutive Champions Leagues before.
When Inter Milan won the European Super Cup, the competition had not yet been born. When Inter Milan won the UEFA Cup three times in the 1990s, the two sides in the European Super Cup at that time were still the champions of the Champions League and the Cup Winners' Cup, so
In fact, this is only the second time Inter Milan has won the European Super Cup. The last time they participated in the European Super Cup was last year. As a result, Inter Milan unexpectedly lost to Liverpool 0-1 and lost the chance to win this championship.
However, although they won the championship in this game, Inter Milan fans were a little worried, because in these two games, although Inter Milan won the games, they both won very thrillingly, not so much because of their performance.
Well, it might as well be said that the opponent is beginning to become at a loss when they are ahead...
In the Italian Super Cup against Roma, Roma used fast passing to confuse Inter Milan after the start of the game. After the first half, they relied on two goals from Aquilani and De Rossi to lead Inter Milan.
In the second half, Inter Milan launched a big counterattack. Ibrahimovic, who was still a little sticky with the ball in the first half, started passing the ball under Dick's scolding during the halftime break. His passing made Inter Milan's offense come alive.
Rota's shot from the back row was the first to bring back a point for Inter Milan. Then Toni received Stankovic's cross in the penalty area and headed the header to equalize the score. Figo, who came on as a substitute, passed and shot a free kick.
, first helped Sneijder score a goal with a shovel from the back, and then personally took the free kick and scored the fourth goal, helping Inter Milan defeat Roma 4-2 after falling behind by two goals, and won the first place of the season.
A champion.
The European Super Cup was similarly thrilling, with Sevilla also taking a two-goal lead in the first half - Renato scored the first goal in the seventh minute, and Kanoute scored once before the end of the first half.
The counterattack once again expanded the lead. Inter Milan also launched a counterattack in the second half. Ibrahimovic received a pass from his teammate in the penalty area and used a semi-volley that shocked everyone with an outside instep ejection to help Inter Milan take the lead in scoring a point.
The fast Materazzi scored with a header after receiving Sneijder's free kick. Yaya Toure unexpectedly scored two goals after coming on as a substitute. However, at the last moment of the game, Sevilla
In the 90th minute, Maresca's penalty kick was used to get one point back, and in stoppage time, Inter Milan was continuously besieged. If it were not for Cesar's two wonderful saves, Inter Milan might have been dragged into extra time by the opponent.
It’s time to race...
"This season's Inter Milan reminds us of the Inter Milan that season when Dick took over. They still scored a lot of goals, but the defense is not as solid as last season, but it is normal, Materazzi
and Cannavaro are important contributors to Italy's championship this time, but their outstanding performance in the World Cup will definitely affect their subsequent state, and when Cordoba no longer serves as a right back but becomes part of the central defender
, their right wing also began to be easily attacked. Maicon started in these two games and showed his talent in offense, but in defense, he did not do a very good job.
Most of the time, the offense is directed towards his side, and has achieved very good results. If Inter Milan cannot solve this problem, there may not be any problems in the league. If they want to advance in the Champions League, there probably will be no problems.
What hope..."
The media's comments this time are basically fair. Inter Milan's defense that seemed so reliable last season seems so unreliable at this time. If the defense is not strong, with their overall strength, they may not be able to win in Serie A.
You can continue to crush them, but it seems unrealistic to want to get better in the Champions Cup...
"We are still exploring. Although the championship team does not need to change, if we want to achieve better results, we must make changes. There is no problem with our offense, which can be seen from these two games. Although
Ade was gone, but we introduced Ibrahimovic. He is a player no worse than Ade, and even tougher. As for defense, after all, we have played with a defensive lineup for two years. Their age
They are not small anymore. We must make changes. We cannot make changes after the defense line is completely unable to support it. If we want to change, we must make sacrifices, because if we don’t sacrifice something now, then in the next time
, we may sacrifice more.”
Dick seemed confident at the press conference. In fact, he did not do this intentionally, but he did think that his team was moving in a good direction. Ibrahimovic was a little uncomfortable adapting to the new environment at first, but
He adapted quickly, and Inter Milan's offense remained as strong and outstanding as last season. As for the defensive shortcomings... this was already expected by Dick, although Materazzi's performance after the World Cup
Ushered in his brief peak, but Cannavaro was still affected by the World Cup. His condition was obviously worse than last season and the World Cup. Although Cordoba has now returned to the central defender position
, but after playing as a right back for two years, he also needs time to adapt. After all, this is not a game. Maicon's entry into the starting lineup also gives Inter Milan's defense a place to take advantage of. The opponent focuses on him.
On the other hand, even with the replacement of Mascherano and Stankovic, it cannot be perfect.
But this kind of change must be made, as Dick said, after all, Inter Milan's defense was very old last season - Materazzi is over 33 years old, Cana can
Varro is also about to turn thirty-three, and Zanetti is also thirty-three. They were both born between August and September 1973. Cordoba is younger, but he is also about to turn thirty.
If we don't make timely changes at this time, in a year or two, this top defense line will probably immediately deteriorate.
So Dick began to make changes, allowing the relatively young Cordoba to return to the central defender position and be ready to replace him at any time. Maicon entered the starting lineup to increase the power of wing attacks and at the same time give Chiellini and others more opportunities.
More opportunities will allow them to get more training. Such measures can at least maintain the state of Inter Milan's defense for another four years.
Although Dick does not intend to stay at Inter Milan for too long, he does not intend to leave Inter Milan with a devastated mess. In fact, whether he leaves Atletico Madrid or Dortmund, he has left behind a very good lineup.
, but Atletico Madrid themselves ruined a good thing and dismantled the top team formed by Dick within a few years. Now only Torres Belleron and a few others are left struggling to support it, while Dortmund
Due to the economic drag, all the players who performed well were sold for money. The only ones who are still staying are Vaughns and Kyle, the two captains and deputy captains. Shaheen himself has problems again, so the performance will decline.
.
In any case, Dick will not deliberately leave an unmanageable mess for others to clean up before leaving. Whether the other party can save it or not is a question, but Dick will do his best.
Everyone is paying attention to Inter Milan's performance in the new season. They will have an advantage in the league. However, to what extent this advantage will reach and whether they can successfully defend the Champions League is still unknown.
This season's Serie A started relatively late. The first round of matches will not start until September 9th. Everyone is paying attention to how Inter Milan will perform. In the Champions League match, Inter Milan is divided
We are in a group that is neither good nor bad. In the same group are Bayern, the overlord from the Bundesliga, the Portuguese team Sporting Lisbon and the Russian team Spartak Moscow. Bayern is a strong opponent, and Sporting Lisbon also has good strength.
And the Russian team... playing in Russia has always been a very difficult thing.
What results can Inter Milan achieve? Many people are looking forward to it. Although Dick has not publicly announced that he will strive to lead the team to defend the Champions League and win the Triple Crown, many people know that for Dick, he is now
