Chapter five hundred and forty first moving towards the goal
When Dick saw the players returning from vacation, he felt more confident about the next game.
It is obvious that despite winning the Champions League last season, Inter Milan's players are still full of desire for honors, whether they are former players or players who joined later. During the physical examination
After that, the physical condition of the players basically remained the same as before. After resting, their physical fitness has returned to its best condition, and they are in the best condition to face the second half of the season.
The first game after the New Year was not the league, but the first round of the Italian Cup. Dick did not send the main players in this game, but sent a large number of substitutes, and still defeated Embo with two goals away from home.
We are only one step away from the semi-finals.
In the next round of the 19th round away game against Turin, Inter Milan's three tall players each scored a goal in the game - Toni took the lead, Ibrahimovic expanded the score shortly after the start of the second half, and Materazzi scored in the game.
The third goal was scored from a penalty kick before the end. Inter Milan defeated Turin 3-1 in an away game and achieved 11 consecutive victories in the league, tying its own winning streak last season!
"Because one round of the league was postponed, Inter Milan's winning streak should not count, unless they can continue the winning streak and win in the make-up match, so that they can connect the winning streak..."
Some media commented on Inter Milan's current winning streak, but Dick smiled slightly and did not answer. He really didn't notice the current winning streak.
In the second leg of the Italian Cup quarter-finals in midweek, Dick once again sent out all his substitutes, and then the substitutes once again defeated Empoli 2-0 at home, and entered the semi-finals 4-0 in the two rounds.
, In other competitions, the strong teams won one after another. Sampdoria, Roma and AC Milan also entered the semi-finals. In the draw of the semi-finals, Inter Milan was lucky and was divided into half zones with Sampdoria.
In the other half, AC Milan will be locked in a fight with Roma...
"It's a pity that we were not placed in the semi-finals with AC Milan... This way we would have a chance to complete the quadruple kill. I sincerely hope that AC Milan can eliminate Roma and meet us in the final." Dick laughed during the interview.
Let's talk.
Moggi has disappeared from the scene now. Waiting for the court to punish him, Dick feels that he has to find an opponent to have a verbal spat to be interesting. However, his words make the AC Milan fans feel very depressed. Isn’t it because he lost to
Did I kill you all? Four kills. If we really encounter each other four times, we might not know who will kill who!
After Turin, Fiorentina was also defeated by Inter Milan at home - although Pazzini scored a goal in the game, Inter Milan's strong offensive opened Fiorentina's door three times. The cooperation of Tony and Ibrahimovic became even more difficult.
The two high center forwards each scored a goal in this game. Together with Stankovic's goal, Inter Milan won 12 consecutive Serie A victories, although there was one game less in the middle.
Admit it, but their advantage in the standings is real. Roma was tied by weak teams in the two rounds of league games after the winter break. The point gap between them and Inter Milan has now widened to eight points. Inter Milan
Milan still have one game less.
In the next week, Inter Milan disgraced mid-table Sampdoria - in three consecutive games, Inter Milan won three games in a row. In the first leg of the Italian Cup semi-finals in midweek, Inter Milan was defeated at home.
Sampdoria scored 3-0, and in the twenty-first round of the weekend, Inter Milan gave Sampdoria, who had once tied Sampdoria 1-1 at home, a clean 2-0 away game.
, the two new players Ibrahimovic and Maicon each scored a goal. Sampdoria, which had lost two consecutive games, was completely beaten by Inter Milan and lost its confidence. The following week, the second round of the Italian Cup was defeated by Inter Milan.
The substitutes lost 2-0, losing all three games without scoring a single goal. This performance was a real complete defeat!
Being beaten like this by Inter Milan, Sampdoria was severely beaten for a time. At the end of the season, they barely managed to avoid relegation. Of course, this is a story for another day.
Inter Milan's strength in the Italian arena seems to be unstoppable. They have now won 13 consecutive victories in the league. If they can win Messina again in the next make-up game, then they will
They will gain a well-deserved 14th consecutive victory and increase the Serie A winning streak by three games in one go!
Can Messina, who is currently in the relegation zone, stop Inter Milan from setting a new record? It seems impossible to think about it...
It is indeed impossible. In this game, Dick did not send out all the main players, but sent out a mixed lineup of main players and substitutes. After ninety minutes, the bloody score of 5-0 proved Inter Milan's strength.
powerful.
Undisputed fourteenth consecutive victory! A new record is born!
"Fourteen consecutive wins? This is just the beginning. I think we are very likely to create an unprecedented winning streak... The winning streak record in the five major leagues is Real Madrid's fifteen consecutive wins. We will strive to break this record. All over Europe
How long is the winning streak? I remember it seemed to be the Celtics' 25-game winning streak. This goal is worth pursuing."
Dick's words once again caused an uproar across Italy - although Inter Milan is indeed somewhat unstoppable now, it won't be long before Inter Milan will face the Champions League. Can they win the Champions League?
Can you still maintain a winning streak in the league? Are you looking down on Serie A too much?
However, when Inter Milan defeated Chievo again in the league and reached the 15th game in a row, everyone became quiet. Now Inter Milan has tied the winning streak record in the five major leagues and created a new record in the five major leagues.
The winning streak does not seem to be a problem, and their performance in the first half of the season proved that they have the ability to defeat any strong team, a record of 25 consecutive wins? Who says they must not be able to create it?
Dick had slapped them in the face many times before. They really didn't want to be slapped again by Dick until their cheeks were red and swollen and they lost their temper...
After defeating Chievo, Dick will start preparing for the game against Valencia. In the next round against Cagliari, Dick plans to use substitutes. Cagliari has caused a lot of trouble for Inter Milan in the past.
, this team from Sardinia has always been a tough nut to crack, but now their strength has dropped a lot. They are ranked in the bottom ten of the standings. They are only fighting for relegation and will not face the international competition.
Milan caused too much trouble.
Although Cagliari performed very hard and Inter Milan also sent all their substitutes, Inter Milan still narrowly won the game. Relying on Chiellini's header in the 11th minute, Inter Milan
Defeating Cagliari 1-0, officially breaking the winning streak in the five major leagues. Now the winning streak in the five major leagues belongs to Inter Milan's sixteen games!
"What we are waiting for now is the Champions League game. Valencia is a very strong team, otherwise they would not have won the first place in the group. It is not a good situation for us to play at home first, which makes us win at home.
We must play more proactively. The current Valencia team is very different from the Valencia team I know. They have changed a lot of blood and may be stronger than before."
Dick seemed very cautious at the press conference before the start of the Champions League, which surprised people - is Valencia really good this season? But they are now ranked third in La Liga, which they often
As for the position they can reach, although they won the first place in the group in the Champions League, the strength of that group was not very strong. Their real opponent was nothing more than Roma.
Obviously, there is a reason for Dick's caution. Inter Milan has been playing too smoothly since the beginning of this season and did not encounter many strong opponents in the Champions League. Although they encountered Bayern in the group stage, after all, there were two in the group stage.
Qualifying quota. What's more, Valencia currently has two geniuses in the team who can break into the world wave. Dick seems to have a very headache for such players, because it is easy for unexpected situations to occur.
Valencia's current head coach Flores was also surprised by Dick's caution. His current situation in Valencia is not particularly good, and his disagreement with technical director Carboni made his coaching somewhat difficult.
It means that encountering Inter Milan under such circumstances is not good news for him, but Dick seems very afraid of him. Why is this?
After thinking about it for a long time, Flores decided not to think about it. Inter Milan has shown very strong offensive and defensive capabilities this season. The offense is not much different from last season, but it is more flexible and changeable.
, the defense has become more and more stable after more than half a year of games and adjustments. Even if Maicon always goes forward to assist, there is no shortage of people behind him to fill the position. Under such circumstances, if you want to defeat Inter Milan,
It became a very difficult thing.
However, the current staffing of Valencia is not bad. The rise of two newcomers, Villa and Silva, the joining of Morientes, Alberda Marchena and others are getting older and stronger, and the defense line composition
With the new strong central defender combination of Ayala and Albiol, the state of the old goalkeeper Canizares has not declined much. This Valencia team can achieve quite good results in this season's Champions League.
Makes sense.
The tactics Flores can arrange are to send out the strongest lineup he has at hand, and then strive for a good result in the away game, and then return to the home court to compete with Inter Milan - Inter Milan is not so impeccable, at least
They also conceded a lot of goals...
Time quickly came to February 22nd, and Inter Milan ushered in the first game of the Champions League knockout round.
"I hope this game will be the beginning of a legend, not the beginning of a joke. Don't care about how many goals we concede, but remember that the most important thing we have achieved in recent years is our success.
It’s still our offense. It doesn’t matter to us whether we play at home first, because if we want to advance, we will advance by scoring more goals than the opponent, rather than carefully calculating home and away goals!
Valencia has many outstanding offensive players, let’s compare with them and see which of us has better offensive ability!”
"Beat them and move towards the Triple Crown!" captain Zanetti shouted, and then led the players out of the locker room and moved towards their goal!
