With Sudong and Vicente's passes and shots, Valencia defeated the visiting Inter Milan at home!
This was the first time Valencia defeated the Nerazzurri led by Cooper at the Mestanya Stadium two years after he left the team.
Many Valencia fans even shed tears of joy at the scene.
This is the resentment that countless of them have had over the past two years, and it all paid off on this night!
And this is a result that no one could have imagined before the game.
Many people think that Valencia has the ability to win, but they never expected to win 3-0 because Inter Milan is not bad. The team coached by Cooper has always been known for its defense. How could this happen?
A sudden defeat like this?
Italy's Gazzetta dello Sport described this game as "shocking".
They believe that Inter Milan's disastrous defeat came from problems with coach Cooper's tactics.
Facing the strong Valencia away from home, it is difficult for any team to have a chance of winning, but Cooper's team tried to control the situation.
"You know, in the past two years, Cooper's Inter Milan encountered Valencia twice. In four games, without exception, Inter Milan was at an absolute disadvantage on the scene, but they won with their tenacious defense.
Especially the two away games."
"But last night, in Mestania, Cooper's team made it impossible to see their usual solid defense. Almost every quick counterattack by Valencia caused turmoil in front of Inter Milan's goal. This made people...
Very worried.”
"Only two minutes into the game, Su Dong's goal sounded the alarm for Inter Milan, but Cooper did not make immediate adjustments. Then Valencia repeatedly created threats, and Materazzi and Cannavaro were always in trouble.
Amid the threat from Soviet Union and Eastern Europe."
"The stubborn Cooper finally learned his lesson in the second half. A wave of attacks from Valencia shortly after the opening caused Inter Milan to concede goals one after another. Su Dong planned two very threatening counterattacks and assisted Vicente to score.
ball."
"There is no doubt that Sudong and Vicente were the most threatening and best-performing players in the Valencia team last night. Sudong was also elected as the best player of the match. This was his first game.
In the official match of the Champions League, he was named the best player in the game. Su Dong, who is only 19 years old, showed amazing potential."
…
Later, Gazzetta dello Sport devoted an entire page to discussing this game.
The conclusion they finally came to is not surprising, that is, Cooper's tactics are very problematic.
Giving up the defensive counterattack in the past and actually trying to actively control the football is equivalent to using one's own shortcomings to exploit the opponent's strengths. This is quite irrational.
Even in the second half, after Recoba came on the field, Inter Milan adopted a 4-2-3-1 style of play, but they also failed to exert a threat, because Recoba is not Rui Costa, and his breakthrough ability is indeed very strong.
But it's too sticky.
Finally, Gazzetta dello Sport believes that this disastrous defeat in Spain will be a huge blow to Inter Milan, because they lost to the opponent they have defeated in the past two years.
"What's even more frightening is that behind this disastrous defeat, Cooper and Inter Milan have questioned and made adjustments to the team's technical, tactical and psychological levels. This is likely to lead to turmoil for Inter Milan."
…
Compared to Gazzetta dello Sport, Gazzetta dello Sport simply pointed out that the most important thing for Inter Milan now is a coaching change.
"There is no doubt that Cooper has run out of skills. He has no way to lead this Inter Milan to achieve higher results. Moratti needs to make a decisive choice. Let Cooper continue to lead the team, but in the end nothing was achieved. It is better to consider the long term.
, give up a season and let the new head coach adjust and transform the team?"
Obviously, the New Paper’s position is in favor of Cooper’s dismissal.
The data from this game shows that Cooper's Inter Milan has a slight advantage in possession rate and even a slight advantage in the number of shots, but the number of shots on goal is only half of Valencia's.
"This can already illustrate the problem. Cooper has serious problems in training the offense."
"Vieri, Cruz, and Recoba are all top players in the world, but such an attacking lineup has never been able to create a powerful offensive combination. This is Cooper's dereliction of duty!"
…
Compared with the Italian media, which exclusively blamed Cooper, the Spanish media seemed a little different.
Marca was very surprised by Valencia's victory. It spoke highly of Su Dong's performance and believed that he is already the most promising rookie in European football and is worth looking forward to in the future.
Not only that, Marca also quoted Valencia coach Benitez's remarks at the post-match press conference, saying that Cooper's situation was very embarrassing, and everyone from the club president to the players to the fans had doubts about him.
, forcing him to take some measures to cater to the outside world.
But it was precisely these measures that caused Cooper to suffer a disastrous defeat.
"Discussing this loss in depth, was it really Cooper's problem?"
"Can changing the head coach solve Inter Milan's problems?"
"Could it be that it's not the media that constantly encouraged the team before the game and put pressure on Cooper to adopt more aggressive tactics? Now that he has adopted such tactics and suffered a disastrous defeat, they are in turn blaming him
Isn’t it the same media that gives up the advantage of defensive counterattacks and blindly chooses active tactics?”
…
Inter Milan star and special advisor to the president, Luis Suarez, also expressed similar views in an interview with Aspen, believing that it is irresponsible to put all the responsibility for the defeat on Cooper.
"In fact, long before the game, Cooper decided to give up his traditional advantages and adopt a radical ball-control style, which was already doomed for him to suffer a defeat at the Mestanha Stadium. The difference was just how many goals he conceded.
"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Suarez also mentioned Su Dong in the interview, believing that Su Dong is rapidly growing into the most dominant center in European football, "He is growing rapidly.
He has grown and progressed at an amazing speed, and he has created too many surprises and surprises."
"Winning the best of the game is well deserved, but he still has considerable potential that has not been tapped. I think that in Valencia, under the training of Benitez, he can continue
progress."
Regarding his failed attempt to persuade Moratti to sign Su Dong, Suarez did not respond directly to save Moratti's face, but at the same time he also said euphemistically, "For a player like Su Dong, any time he signs it, he will
is worth it!"
Obviously, Suarez still wants to convince Moratti to sign Sudong.
…
From 0-1 two years ago, to 2-1 last season, to 3-0 this season.
Valencia can be said to be a step up every year.
Local fans are also satisfied with the team's performance this season, especially the performance of new aid Su Dong. They have given a very high evaluation and believe that the 10 million euros are well spent.
Valencia Daily interviewed a core member of the local fan organization after the game. This die-hard Valencia supporter said, "Before the earliest, we thought the club was crazy. Subilac was simply joking.
Is he serious about spending tens of millions of euros to buy an 18-year-old youngster?"
"But looking back now, we have to admit that Subilac did a great job!"
"With the introduction of Su Dong, the club has completely solved the club's hidden forward dangers in the next ten years. I believe we will become more competitive in La Liga and the Champions League this season!"
Valencia Daily also revealed that after defeating Inter Milan that night, Valencia fans held a wild celebration near the Mestanha Stadium, and several drunken fans even had serious physical conflicts in the city center.
It disturbed social order and the police had to arrest more than ten fans among them.
"This is very rare in Valencia. It shows how excited the fans are to beat Inter Milan and beat Cooper!"
…
The latest match reports from European football also appeared in major domestic newspapers and forums early the next morning.
In his Champions League debut, Su Dong was selected as the man of the match, passing and shooting, and defeated Inter Milan, which has the largest number of fans in the country. This made the domestic Nerazzurri fans very depressed.
On one side is the home team that I have supported for many years, and on the other side are my compatriots from the motherland. It would feel uncomfortable for everyone to change.
But even though I felt uncomfortable, I was more happy and excited for Su Dong.
This is the first player in Chinese history to land in the Champions League, and he became a blockbuster and even scored Inter Milan's goal. What an incredible achievement.
In the past, in the Portuguese Super League, no matter how good Sudong performed, he would be questioned by some, thinking that the level of the Portuguese Super League was too low.
Later, when we won the UEFA Cup, we were still questioned, thinking that the UEFA Cup had declined significantly in recent years and was far inferior to the high level of the Champions League.
But now, Su Dong plays in the Champions League, and faced the giant Inter Milan in the Champions League group stage and was elected the best player of the match.
Is there anything else to say about this?
Is it necessary to win a Champions League to prove Su Dong's strength?
A netizen wrote a post on the Tianya Forum, which included a paragraph that said: "Those who question Su Dong should stand up and take a look. They have been kneeling for so long that they have forgotten how to stand up!"
"Today's Su Dong has scored three goals in three league rounds and scored one goal in one Champions League group match. Isn't this kind of performance not outstanding enough for Su Dong, who has just turned 19?"
"Why is it that even the authoritative European media are praising a player, but fans in his country are questioning him in every possible way?"
However, the controversy among netizens has not affected the appreciation of Su Dong by major domestic media. More and more people are even saying that Su Dong is becoming the new standard-bearer of Chinese football and even Chinese sports.
Amid this wave of controversy, only the Football Association has remained silent and has not made any statement.
Su Dong is still in the suspension period. As for the reason for the suspension, no one knows.
The better he performs in the European leagues, the more embarrassing this unexplained suspension becomes.
