Section 12 The TIM Cup of the Traditional Top Three
(one)
The TIM Cup is a traditional Serie A event. The TIM Cup is a summer warm-up match between the traditional top three Serie A organized by TIM Telecom. It is usually the first real warm-up match between the three teams after the start of the summer training camp. The game points
There are three quarters, each quarter is 45 minutes, and the three teams fight against each other in twos and twos, each battle lasts for 45 minutes, and the final ranking is determined by the results of the three battles.
The Cup started in 2001 and is now in its ninth edition. In the previous eight editions, Milan won the championship in the first edition. Inter Milan won the championship in the second, third, fourth and fifth editions four times in a row. In the sixth, seventh and fifth editions, Inter Milan won the championship.
Milan has won three consecutive championships in eight years, but Juventus has not won a single championship.
This is just a warm-up event and does not have much practical significance. However, this year, since the three teams of Inter Milan, AC Milan, and Juventus have changed their coaches, the "TIM" Cup is the debut of the new coaches of the top three teams.
Nothing special to watch.
Juventus fired coach Ferrara in the middle of last season due to poor performance, and Zaccheroni took over until the end of the season. Also due to unsatisfactory results, Juventus did not renew Zaccheroni's contract at the end of the season.
New coach Delneri hired.
Juventus fans are very disapproving of the hiring of Del Neri. The 60-year-old Del Neri does have rich coaching experience, but his 17 job-hopping experiences in the past 25 years also show that his coaching career has been bumpy. The longest coaching experience is 98
Coaching at Chievo from season to season 2004, this time
Del Neri has played for as many as six Serie A teams, including Roma, Palermo, Sampdoria, Atalanta, Empoli and Chievo, and is indeed familiar with Serie A. In the eyes of Juventus fans, Del
There is still a transition inside, and it is still unknown who will be the next one and when the replacement will take place.
In terms of Inter Milan, after Mourinho won the Triple Crown and left Inter Milan, Moratti originally hoped that Capello or Hiddink would take over. However, after being rejected, Benitez took over at San Siro in early June.
On the pitch, there are doubts everywhere about how long the Spaniard can get along with Moratti at Inter Milan.
None of the three new coaches of the top three teams in Serie A are candidates who can reassure the team's top management, players and fans. Perhaps because of this, there is also a secret rivalry between these three coaches.

In the selection, Allegri was more testing the substitute players, and the absolute main lineup was the "touchstone" for the substitute lineup.
Milan's first team, goalkeeper Aliati, the defenders from left to right selected Jankulovski, Nesta, Thiago Silva, Abate, and the midfielder arranged three midfielders Pirlo and Gatto
São Paulo, Ambrosini, attacking midfielder Ronaldinho, forwards Pato and Robinho, a formation between 4-4-2 and 4-3-2-1.
Ibrahimovic still did not participate in the Tim Cup. It is said that the salary issue, transfer fees and other issues have not been discussed yet. It is also said that they have actually been negotiated. However, the Swede believes that he is the main player even if he does not play in the warm-up match, so there is no need.
A waste of his precious time and energy, in short, Ibrahimovic still hasn't come to the base.
The second team, goalkeeper Amelia, defenders arranged from left to right, Antonini, Bonera, Papastathopoulos, Zambrotta, midfielder Seedorf, Flamini, Sturt
Rather, Boateng, and the two forwards used a combination of Ghanaian youngster Aditya and veteran Inzaghi.
The third lineup is temporarily incomplete. Allegri will consider recruiting personnel from the exchange of the first and second lineups when making arrangements. The arrangement of the third lineup includes goalkeeper Flavio Roma, defender Kaladze, and Yepes.
, Onyewu, Odo, from left to right can still make up, midfielder Chen
Zhuo and Ruud van Nistelrooy, Nigeria's small forward Oduyamadi of Nigeria, it is tentatively confirmed that there are 8 of them, and the remaining three, Allegri took out Jankulovski and Forula respectively.
Players such as Mini, Strasser, Aditya and veteran Inzaghi adjusted different lineups for testing.
There is no particularly formal set time for the trial. Allegri often stops the game after ten minutes to make substitutions and make tactical adjustments. He goes on the court to explain to several players and then starts again.

The tim cup lineup was announced one day in advance. Juventus started with the entire main lineup, Inter Milan started with semi-main lineup and substitutes, and AC Milan started with the second lineup mixed with some of the third lineup.
, we can also see the attitude of the three teams towards this game from the starting lineup.
Juventus started this season with a renaissance, bringing in a pair that had a successful season at Sampdoria last season: new coach Del Neri and new manager Marotta.
Last season, the miserable Juventus only ranked seventh, and people are eager to hope that this series of changes can give the Bianconeri a new look. The newly appointed Marotta and Del Neri combination launched a campaign with Italians as the core force
A major shake-up has created a brand new team.
As many as 15 people including Trezeguet, Ekdal, and Camoranesi have either transferred out or are planning to transfer out, and the likes of Quagliarella, Aquilani, Matri, etc. have been introduced.
10 Italian players have been introduced, and three to four more are in the process of finalizing the details.
This time, Delneri's new lineup after a major overhaul also made its debut before the league.
The Inter Milan team is still mainly composed of "Triple Crown" players, but it is still questionable whether these players can adapt to Benitez's high-pressing pressing style. The offensive tactics with "Liberating Eto'o" as the core
Whether it will affect the performance of other frontcourt players is a question that people are concerned about before the game.
Perhaps, everything can be unveiled in this tim cup.

As a warm-up match, the substitution rules of the Tim Cup are also loose. Five players can be substituted within each 45 minutes, and a total of 10 players can be substituted. Therefore, each team has signed up 24 players on this list.
Milan currently does not count Ibrahimovic, and has 30 players on the roster. The players they did not bring this time are No. 3 goalkeeper Flavio Roma, center back Nesta, and three main midfielders Pirlo and Gattuso.
Ambrosini didn't bring any of them, and there was another player who was not on the 24-man roster, and it turned out to be Chen Zhuo.
Except for Chen Zhuo, the other five were all recommended to rest after diagnosis by the team doctor. However, Chen Zhuo's physical examination indicators were as strong as an ox. As a result, Chen Zhuo was placed in the "injured group"... It seems like this
Next, all positions have been tested.
Regarding this list and the players outside the list, the media has two very different interpretations. One is that Milan is ready to abandon Chen Zhuo, and Allegri has released a signal to implement large-scale transformation of Milan's central axis.
, and according to "reportedly" and "rumors", the combination of Chen Zhuo and Van Nistelrooy was not originally requested by coach Allegri, but Galliani had other intentions. Ruud van Nistelrooy could consider replacing the 37-year-old Inzaghi as the goalkeeper.
Point-type forward, Chen Zhuo was loaned out after being gilded in Milan.
If this interpretation is strongly bearish, the other interpretation is strongly sought after. The analysis said that these six "injured players" are exactly the players who don't have to worry about leaving the team the least, and Flavio Roma is the three players that the team must retain.
One of the goalkeeper quotas, no matter which of the first two goalkeepers has unstable performance,
He is the substitute, Nesta, Pirlo, and Gattuso are the absolute main players. Ambrosini will not leave the team and it has risen to an emotional level. Therefore, in this warm-up match, Allegri is just inspecting
For these players, there is no need to examine those positions where he is not sure enough or has no direction.
Fans have taken sides with two very different interpretations. At least from the current situation, the number of bearish fans is much greater than the number of fans. In media surveys, the overwhelming majority of people are not optimistic about Chen Zhuo's ability to gain a foothold in Milan.

The attendance rate at the San Nicola Stadium in Bari was about two-thirds. The attendance rate in the warm-up match was already high. Although he was not in the squad, Allegri still brought all the players to San Nicola.
At the stadium, Chen Zhuo, Pirlo Gattuso and others are sitting in the stands. Occasionally, a few young fans come to ask for autographs, but most of them come to Pirlo, and occasionally a few come to Gattuso. The rest are here
