Before going on the field, in the VIP lounge area, Inter Milan president Moratti saw consultant Luis Suarez.
Although Suarez's stubbornness is annoying at times, he still has Moratti's trust.
"You seem to be in a good mood, Massimo." Suarez greeted Moratti with a smile on his face.
After the two hugged each other politely, Moratti kindly pulled Suarez and walked to a deserted place.
"The team has performed very well recently, which proves that my original decision was right. It was a wise choice for Cooper to dismiss get out of class. A team like ours should adopt an offensive football style. This is not only the voice of fans from the outside media, but
Not only is it the voice of the players in the locker room, but it is also in line with the reality of our team."
Moratti said a lot in one breath. It can be seen that his mood at this moment is really very beautiful.
The team has won consecutive games, and the key is the flood of goals, including the victory over Roma. These have made the outside world have higher expectations for Inter Milan. Many people even believe that as long as Inter Milan maintains this offensive
, it is entirely possible to win the championship.
Championship, this is what Moratti pursues tirelessly!
"Massimo, the current situation of the team is indeed good, but we still can't take it lightly. The season is very long." Suarez reminded him seriously, because the actual results are there now, and he really can't find anything wrong with it.
Moratti pointed at Suarez and smiled, "Luis, you are just too cautious."
"Football is supposed to be a cautious game."
Moratti shrugged helplessly. His biggest protest against Suarez was his stubbornness.
"Relax, Louis. With our strength, as long as we perform normally and perform at a high level, we are not afraid of any opponent."
Suarez knew that Moratti was in high spirits at the moment and would not listen to those harsh words of advice. More importantly, he was really not sure who was more confident of winning, Inter Milan or Valencia.
Football is a war full of suspense!
"Massimo, Valencia is still very strong." Suarez finally reminded him.
"Are you going to kick Su Dong with me again?" Moratti frowned and asked with a half-smile.
Suarez also changed his expression. Almost every time he saw Moratti, the topic between the two of them always mentioned Sudong unknowingly, or Moratti used the performance of Vieri and other players to prove his original intention.
The decision not to sign Su Dong was right, or Suarez reminded Moratti that it was still too late to sign Su Dong.
Anyway, in the end, the tone and atmosphere of the conversation between the two will become very awkward.
But what is depressing is that both of them consciously want to avoid this topic when they meet, but they always come back to it.
No, Moratti took the initiative to mention Su Dong again.
"Massimo, this has nothing to do with Su Dong. I just want to remind you that Valencia is indeed quite competitive. This season, it has made up for its shortcomings in the forward line. I think..."
"Look, you still want to talk about Su Dong." Moratti was a little impatient and didn't want to listen anymore.
Suarez is also depressed, do I want to mention it?
It's obviously you who has been talking about Su Dong, okay?
"Well, even if I want to mention Soudon, Massimo and Vieri, they are already thirty years old."
"We still have Adriano."
"I know, but Su Dong is only nineteen years old, even younger, and his potential is amazing."
"We have Martins, he's as fast as lightning."
"Su Dong is different, Massimo."
"It's all the same, Louis, believe me, we don't need Su Dong to still win."
Suarez was speechless and could only sigh deeply helplessly.
"Don't believe it?" Massimo smiled and put his arm around Suarez's shoulders. "In tonight's battle, you will clearly see the strength of our players, especially young players such as Martins and Van der Meyde. They are no better than Suarez."
Tocha."
"Believe me, Luis, in front of Cordoba, Cannavaro and Materazzi, Sudong will not get any chance to score!"
…………
…………
Zaccheroni still arranged a three-four-three formation.
This is his lucky formation, because relying on it, Inter Milan has swept strong opponents in the past period, including Capello's Roma.
With the accumulation of games, this lineup has gradually matured.
There is no doubt that the goalkeeper is Santo Toldo.
The defense is a three-back combination of Materazzi, Cannavaro and Cordoba, the midfield is Brecher, Ramuzzi, Zanetti and Zanetti, and the front trident is Van der Meyde, Vie
The combination of Lee and Martins.
Valencia still responded with its most conventional 423 formation. With Vicente's return from injury, the Bat Corps faced Inter Milan with its full lineup, which shows that Benitez is very interested in this formation.
emphasis on war.
Although they are ranked first in the group, Valencia still needs to be cautious.
On the other hand, Inter Milan, if they want to qualify from the group, they must win Valencia.
This also sets a tone for this game, and Inter Milan will take the initiative.
Riding on the momentum of their recent winning streak and crazy goals, Inter Milan built a great momentum before the game.
At the beginning of the game, they also took the initiative and were not polite to Valencia at all.
Martins was very active after the opening, frequently attacking Valencia's defense.
This player's speed and explosive power are indeed amazing, and soon he gave Valencia's defenders a headache.
In the fifth minute, Martins created a very good free kick opportunity for Inter Milan at the edge of the penalty area.
When Araya was marking the Nigerian youngster, he was almost thrown away by the opponent and was forced to foul and pull him down.
The referee did not give a card, but gave Inter Milan a perfectly positioned frontcourt set-piece.
The fans at the scene were very excited, shouting Inter Milan slogans crazily, as if they had seen the goal.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! But this time, after Inter Milan cooperated continuously, Vieri hit a long shot.
Unfortunately, the quality of this long-range shot was not high and it flew straight away.
Just two minutes later, Albelda tripped Ramouzi while defending him, giving Inter Milan another free kick opportunity in the frontcourt.
This time it was Materazzi who took the penalty himself, taking a direct free kick and volleying it slightly wide.
Soon, Inter Milan organized another offensive.
Ramouzi sent a direct pass from the midfielder. Martins dribbled the ball from the right and cut in. He hit a long shot with his left foot, but it still went wide.
The fans at the scene became more and more excited, as if they saw the goal beckoning.
Valencia's players are becoming more and more stable as they play.
In the first ten minutes, Inter Milan took three shots, all of which were long shots from 20 meters away, and none of them hit the goal.
Valencia hasn't had a chance to start yet, because the bat team's away game is mainly about stability.
Benitez's requirements for the team are very clear, and he is determined to confront Inter Milan. The team adopts midfield pressing tactics to suppress Inter Milan's midfielder, strive to control the ball and rhythm, and quickly counterattack after stealing the ball.
It was under Benitez's tactics that Valencia started relatively steadily, not trying to attack but trying to stabilize their position first.
Inter Milan took the initiative from the beginning and created opportunities continuously, but they were all long-range shots.
In the 15th minute, there was another direct pass from Lamouzi. Vieri kicked off 25 meters away from the goal, but the shot went too far and failed to create any threat.
Inter Milan seems to have the advantage on the field, but in fact, there are not many offensive methods, and they fail to form a joint force. They look like a scattered mess, fighting on their own.
…
Su Dong has been holding up Inter Milan's defense, patiently waiting for the opportunity.
Even when Inter Milan got a corner kick, he still stayed in front, ready to counterattack at any time.
He believes that his teammates can not only withstand Inter Milan's offensive, but also pass the ball.
Inter Milan quickly took a corner kick, but it was a mess in the penalty area and failed to grab the point.
Marchena headed the ball out, but a player on the outside of the Inter Milan penalty area headed the ball into the penalty area, and was kicked out of the penalty area again.
Baraja quickly rushed over to seize the first landing spot, facing the ball falling high, without jumping, and directly pushed it forward.
As early as the first time the ball was pushed out of the penalty area, Su Dong had already started to press forward.
There was only one defensive player around him, Zanetti, who was always alert and following him closely.
When Baraja headed the ball over, Su Dong turned sideways to the right, facing Zanetti.
The Argentine defender was facing Sudong and with his back to the direction of the ball, making it difficult to grab the ball. However, the experienced Zanetti was waiting for Sudong to stop the ball.
It is foreseeable that as long as Su Dong stops the ball, Zanetti will not hesitate to get involved.
But Su Dong did not stop the ball, but simply gave it up. After letting the ball hit the ground, he stabbed the ball forward, and he sprinted forward as fast as he could to catch up.
Zanetti's plan failed, but he didn't panic at all and chased after Su Dong closely.
Su Dong is very fast, but Zanetti is not slow either. Su Dong's running route is on the outside. Zanetti only needs to stick to the inside of him, and it will be difficult for Su Dong to create a threat.
After realizing this, Su Dong had already rushed to Inter Milan's penalty area.
As soon as he entered the penalty area, Su Dong made an emergency stop and stopped the ball.
He wanted to cut inward laterally, but out of the corner of his eye he glanced over and saw Cordoba chasing after him all the way.
The central defender was actually very fast and had already caught up.
If Su Dong cuts inward laterally, he will definitely be intercepted by Cordoba.
All these things flashed through Su Dong's mind in an instant, like a flash of light, especially when he saw Zanetti also stopped suddenly and rushed towards him. Su Dong immediately stabbed the ball towards the baseline again, and he again
He sped up to catch up.
He made an emergency stop, tried to cut inside but failed, and then suddenly accelerated towards the bottom line. Su Dong's continuous changes shocked Zanetti. He couldn't keep up, but was thrown away by Su Dong.
After breaking out of Zanetti's defense, Su Dong didn't think much and hit a powerful volley with his left foot.
The ball flew out from Su Dong's feet and went straight to the lower right corner of the goal.
Toldo, who had been cooperating with the defender on the left post of the goal, reacted quickly and fell to the ground to dive sideways.
