Chapter 22 Ten consecutive victories and soap operas (Part 2)

Chapter 22 Ten consecutive victories and soap operas (Part 2)

Also at the Frachi Stadium, facing the same opponent, Inter Milan lost the same 0:3!

Last time, Mourinho took good care of his feathers, stood on the sidelines, and lost the Italian Super Cup, and he was not implicated, but this time it is really different.

After the game, I have never heard of the doubts surrounding Mourinho, especially his tactical arrangements in this game. Some media even pointed out that Mourinho's tactics in the second half were completely copied from Manchester United. Chiney's old routine.

Looking carefully, it seems to be true, especially when the game progressed to the 61st minute of the second half, Mourinho replaced Obina with Crespo, and replaced Mancini with Vieira. Completely abandon the 433 formation and play 4312 instead. Stankovic plays the midfielder. Mourinho also shouted that Crespo should not be sidelined and approach Ibrahimovic in the middle. This arrangement is exactly like Mancini Formation of the era.

Since then, the Portuguese Quaresma played, and Mourinho did not let him play as a winger, but as a midfielder. The arrangement of 4312 remains unchanged.

When Mourinho signed with Inter Milan, Capello once said: "Mourinho can only add 1% new tactical content to Serie A at most."

Ancelotti said, "It should be more than 1%."

This summer, Mourinho has repeatedly insisted that the club's signings should be selected according to his 433 formation, and Quaresma is the appointed candidate.

But Serie A is not the Premier League. Mourinho is facing a group of technical and tactical experts. Whether it is Mazzarri and Gasperini who drew with Inter Milan, or Prandelli who won two wins against Inter Milan, they are all Mesozoic Italian coaches. Among them, the leader in technical and tactical layout.

Basically, a team trying something, even if it fails, can teach other coaches a lot. Samp's draw with Inter Milan in the first round is an example. After the setbacks of Lecce and Catania, Genoa and Fiorentina have been able to restrict Inter Milan with more certainty.

However, after the game, Mourinho did not agree with this statement. When facing reporters' questions, he kept defending himself and said: "Fiorentina played in a 442 formation and their defense was very tight. Their coach is very good. We The whole team worked hard and got a few chances to score goals. Although they lost in the end, I can't criticize my players in such a game."

At the beginning of the season, Mourinho continuously ridiculed his opponents for changing their habit of playing when they met Inter Milan. Later, he realized that it is a characteristic of Serie A teams to fine-tune their skills and tactics at any time according to the opponent's situation. The season's skills and tactics have not changed much in general, and the styles are quite different. Mourinho now has to work hard to adapt to this characteristic of Serie A.

The dilemma facing Mourinho now will be that if Inter Milan continues the current 433 and makes some fine-tuning according to the opponent's situation, similar situations will still appear, and Mourinho will gradually feel that the team is not always overwhelming The grasp of defeating the enemy. But if 433 is to be denied, how will Mourinho deal with the ridicule of his return to the Mancini system?

This is the biggest problem!

Moreover, not only technical tactics, but people have also criticized Mourinho's employment, such as Quaresma, which has caused more and more controversies.

Everyone knows that Quaresma's agent Mendes is also Mourinho's close friend and agent. Porto knew that Mourinho would definitely put pressure on Inter Milan to buy Quaresma, and once offered 40 million euros The sky-high price was not reduced by half until the transfer market was about to close, but it also swept away the teenager Pele.

Now Quaresma can not only prove that he has outstanding abilities in the main lineup, but also cannot become a super substitute. The former coach of Inter Milan, Mancini, once questioned Mourinho's attitude towards Quares in an interview. Smart insisted.

But Mourinho argued: "I have known Quaresma for 4 or 5 years. Now you can say anything to him. He is not playing very well at the moment, but I am sure that you will. Recognizing the value of Quaresma."

Of course Mourinho can choose to continue to trust Quaresma, but without scoring in two games, Mourinho's team fell into a scoring drought, but it is an indisputable fact. Look at Inter Milan's match against Fiorentina. Accuracy: Of the 12 shots in the game, only two hit the goal frame.

For a team that aspires to win the championship, this is a bleak statistic, but there is one person who has performed at a high level in this bleakness, but it is a pity that this person is indeed a person who was forced to "desperate" by Mourinho one by one Crespo.

After Crespo came on the field, he completed two shots. One was to receive Ibrahimovic's header and the ferry missed the header, and the other was one of Inter Milan's two shots in the game.

At that time, Crespo had just played for only four minutes, and Inter Milan went straight from the top of the penalty area. Crespo entered the penalty area with a beautiful anti-offside, and pushed a shot from the right side of the penalty area. This shot was blocked by Frey, who was in excellent form. It was also one of the two most threatening shots for Inter Milan in the game.

Crespo can be said to be a hard-fated player for Inter Milan. In the Mancini era, although Crespo's scoring rate was not low, he was never appreciated. It is precisely because of this that Crespo once expressed his position last season "In the new season, there will be him without me", but Moratti fired Mancini, invited Mourinho, and Crespo also stayed at Inter Milan.

But for the Argentines, this is just out of the tiger's mouth and into the wolf's den. In fact, Crespo would not have been reused by Mourinho in the Chelsea era. If he hadn't been loaned to AC Milan, then Crespo might have already Leave these big teams.

Although Mourinho said: "For Crespo, all I can say is praise. He trains very hard, and no one even works harder than him, because he is a very professional player."

But in fact, for Mourinho, Crespo is a person who doesn't care. Mourinho once explained why Crespo could not play: "We have 29 players. It is a pity that this is our life. I have always said that I don't want the team in my hand to be too large, but I have to adapt. Now, I can only let go of Crespo. It's frustrating and I don't think it was an easy decision for me."

Many European media have analyzed the purpose of Mourinho's selection. The Portuguese like players with high talent and strong personal combat ability. Needless to say, the former is a typical example of the latter. Can use his ability to create opportunities and finally score goals, but Crespo is not such a player, he needs other players to pass the ball for him, a typical point-grabbing shooter.

In Mourinho's tactical system, he didn't care too much about the existence of Crespo, but because of the recent discord between Cruz and Mourinho, and Balotelli's previous game also made Mourinho Austria was dissatisfied, Adriano was sidelined by Mourinho again, and Crespo got the chance.

But it was precisely this man who was given up by Mourinho who became Inter Milan's most threatening striker in 30 minutes. Look at Ibrahimovic, who was in poor form. The shooting has no effect at all, maybe Mourinho should reflect on it.

Not only Crespo, but also Cruz had the same experience. Just because of a foul ball, Mourinho turned against this efficient shooter. Maybe Crespo and Cruz, the fellow Argentines, are indeed not Mourinho. Important candidates in Rinho's tactics, but their abilities cannot be ignored.

Adriano was thrown into limbo, Cruz was in a stalemate, Balotelli had no chance, and now Mourinho thought of Crespo when he couldn't open the situation, but this was precisely a determined people who are leaving.

Crespo has publicly discussed the possibility of a transfer twice before, but now Crespo's possibility has become inevitable, in the Mancini era. Even if he is not reused, Crespo can still get a chance to rotate, but the Mourinho era is different. It is difficult for people who have no position in his mouth to get opportunities. It is precisely because of this that Crespo is forced to iron heart to go.

Mourinho chose Crespo to play in the deadlock, hoping that he could break the deadlock, but it was precisely Mourinho himself who made Crespo go on the road that he had to leave.

After the match against Inter Milan, Fiorentina beat Udinese 2-0 in the tenth round of Serie A on Sunday.

In the 30th minute of the game, Pascual made a cross from the left, Digan deliberately missed the first point, and Mutu easily headed the ball in the latter point, 1:0.

In the 75th minute, Modric took a corner kick from the left, Digan headed the ball and hit the crossbar, but Kompany made a supplementary shot and scored the goal to seal the victory, winning seven consecutive games.

After the game, although Degan failed to score again, the absurd 90-minute "goal shortage" remarks did not appear again.

However, the focus of people's attention is no longer on Digan, but more attention is placed on Ronaldinho. At the beginning of the season, Ronaldinho played in AC Milan Just as a substitute, there was a lot of talk about Ronaldinho's fall at the time, but in the last few games, Ronaldinho's performance has been getting better and better, and he has scored quietly so far. Five goals and one assist, these goals and assists are crucial, or the final decision, or break the deadlock, directly bring five victories to Milan, his front teeth once again become stealthy. Who can imagine how the three-time World Footballer spent the past year in depression, disappointment and self-abandonment.

In his victory speech, Obama said change had come. For Ronaldinho at San Siro, the same sentence applies.

The environment is changing. After spending two years in the harsh environment at Camp Nou, whether it is teammates, fans or public opinion, the support and confidence AC Milan gave to Ronaldinho is unparalleled. The Barcelona team doctor who produced n cases of ligament tear every year is comparable.

Responsibilities are changing. In Barcelona, ​​even in the most glorious two years, Ronaldinho shoulders an unbearable burden. All the focus and all the responsibilities are on him. A bowstring stretched to the limit has only two This kind of fate, eruption or rupture, and no matter what kind of fate, it is far from the freedom and happiness advocated by Samba.

In Milan, he is regaining the feeling of freedom. The spiritual leader has Maldini, the tactical core has Kaka, and Gattuso's powerful and loud voice, all of which have liberated Ronaldi mentally. Neo.

Before the Milan Derby, Ancelotti let Ronaldinho rest enough. Since the Derby, the football elf who has gradually recovered physically and mentally has scored a goal in an average of 90 minutes. It is not accidental.

At the same time, Ronaldinho's mentality is also changing. He bid farewell to the mentality of self-abandonment and confrontation, lowered his value, gave up the transfer share and came to Milan. The desire to prove himself again is extremely strong.

For Brazilian players, such subjective initiative is decisive. He has become as conscientious, kind, and self-disciplined as he was when he first debuted. He even went to the bar only on the next day when there was no training. Adriano, severely dug the corner of Inter Milan.

For Ronaldinho, Degan appreciates it very much, and also very much hopes that this former world number one player can rejuvenate. Only in this way, Serie A will become more interesting.

After finishing the league, Fiorentina will go to France in the middle of the week for the UEFA Champions League group match with Lyon. In the last round of the contest between the two teams, Fiorentina easily won a 6-0 victory at home. This time in the away game, although Lyon wanted to take revenge at home, they were helpless. The only thing they could do was to turn 0:6 into 0:2, that's all.

In the last league game, Degan, who failed to score a goal, broke out in this game. With two goals, the overlord of Ligue 1 can only helplessly admit that there is still a huge gap between Ligue 1 and Serie A.

Then on Sunday, Fiorentina ushered in their eleventh opponent in Serie A this season, Degan's old club Atlanta.

The current Atlanta is completely different from the team that won the Serie A and Coppa Italia doubles. Chairman Riodo finally stepped down amidst the fans' scolding. In addition, even the old captain Taibi has left.

There was no suspense in the game. Degan didn't score a goal, but he contributed three assists. Ledesma, Modric and Mutu each scored a goal, and finally locked the score at 3:0.

Now that Fiorentina has won, no one pays attention to it, and no one tries to bad-mouth this invincible team that is actually ruling the league.

Since there is no way to black Digan, it is better to compile some soap operas to attract people's attention. Is there anything more attractive than the conflict between Mourinho and Adriano in the current Serie A?

Just a few days ago, Adriano's agent, who had been sidelined by Mourinho, once vowed: "Adriano and Mourinho have reconciled."

But soon new problems appeared again. The day before the start of this round, Adriano missed Inter Milan's training session again, which made Mourinho furious.

According to reports from Gazzetta dello Sport and Corriere dello Sport, this time Adriano asked for sick leave from the club and did not come to training, but neither the club nor Mourinho believed Adriano Mourinho was particularly angry about the so-called "cold and fever" reason. In the words of "Corriere dello Sport": "Adriano is really in trouble this time."

Since being punished by Mourinho for clubbing, Adriano has never entered the Inter Milan squad, which was explained by Mourinho as a "technical reason." Adriano's absence from training this time is also a manifestation of resistance.

"Gazzetta dello Sport" stated that Adriano did not ask for leave in advance, but when the team had already started training, Adriano called. Mourinho was very angry after learning the news.

"Corriere dello Sport" stated that if Adriano was blocked by Mourinho before and received sympathy from the club, then the club was very disgusted with the performance of this public confrontation. There is no doubt that Adriano Now in Inter Milan has been completely isolated.

For Adriano, "Corriere dello Sport" believes that his prospects in Inter Milan are very pessimistic, and he may even leave the team this winter. In any case, the relationship between him and Mourinho may be difficult to repair. The good relationship between Adriano and Mancini lasted for two years before it broke down. When Mourinho first took office, he had a good relationship with Adriano, but who would have expected that their "honeymoon" It only lasted for a short period of two months.

Of course, if Adriano leaves the team, he will not worry about no one wanting him. After this incident spread, Roma's vice-captain Panucci said: "If Adriano comes to Rome, he will be welcomed. He is an excellent striker. , good players are always welcome."

Fiorentina was also listed as Adriano's potential owner, but then Digan said: "Everyone in this team must have the spirit of sacrifice and must be hardworking enough. That guy obviously doesn't have such qualities." quality!"

Obviously, if Adriano wants to come to Viola, Degan is the biggest obstacle. When he was in the Brazilian national team, if it was not because of the conflict with Adriano, Degan would not quit Brazil in a fit of anger national team.

Although the Brazilians still regard Digan as a traitor, more people regret it. For example, Dunga, the current head coach of the Brazilian national team, once publicly stated: "If Digan can represent the Brazilian team in the game, then the World Cup It is in the bag of the Brazil team, but now, Brazil wants to add a star to the jersey, and the biggest obstacle is Belgium!"

In an interview, Pele was furious at Pereira's original decision: "He gave up the greatest genius in Brazilian football history for a puddle of mud that couldn't support the wall. This is simply absurd." Extreme decision."

Degan doesn't care about Adriano's life or death. Degan doesn't care whether Mourinho will be stroked by Adriano's unscrupulous brain. He just wants to play well now.

After the match against Atlanta, European football ushered in a national team match day. Degan, Kompany and Fellaini also returned to Belgium to participate in the World Cup qualifiers.

In two games, they faced Poland and Armenia respectively. Both teams were not strong. Digan only played one and a half games and scored one goal each, helping the team win. They are currently in the group where they are in the World Cup qualifiers among the first.

For today's Belgian football, qualifying can no longer be called a goal!

After winning the European Cup, their goal has been set on the higher goal of winning the World Cup.

After participating in the national team's match, Degan and his party returned to Fiorentina. However, before the twelfth round of Serie A, there was another news involving Fiorentina. In order to reform the defense, AC Milan took a fancy to Fiorentina. The main central defender Thiago Silva.

Thiago Silva's performance in Fiorentina in the last two seasons is obvious to all. After the initial discomfort, the current Brazilian has become the pinnacle of Fiorentina's defense with Kompany. At the same time, in the Brazilian national team, He has also replaced Juan as Lucio's centre-back partner.

The scandal surrounding Thiago Silva has not been interrupted this summer, but the Brazilian is very satisfied with his current life in Fiorentina, and finally announced that he will stay with the team. Who knows that AC Milan still does not give up.

Although Galliani did not confirm that AC Milan will definitely buy Thiago Silva, he confirmed: "Because Maldini will retire next summer, we will definitely sign up on the defensive line."

The introduction of a central defender in the summer is already a "confirmed acquisition" of AC Milan. The suspense is just who this person is. Some media have disclosed in detail the candidates that AC Milan is investigating for the introduction of the defense line, and there are as many as nine main candidates.

AC Milan has shown its determination to become younger this time. The "successors of Maldini" they are investigating are all players under the age of 25, and among the nine, the first choice is undoubtedly Thiago Silva of Fiorentina , Two years of experience in Italy, if he can transfer smoothly, he will directly transform Milan's defense without any adaptation.

In addition to Thiago Silva, there is another popular candidate, Sergio Ramos of Real Madrid. The Spanish international has always been the player that AC Milan most wants to introduce. Of course, it is also the most difficult. Because Ramos is regarded by Real Madrid as a candidate for training Raul's next leader, they are ready to renew his contract.

In addition, there are also AC Milan targets in the Bundesliga. Bayern Munich's 19-year-old defender Breno is actually the easiest to get among the nine targets and the closest to AC Milan.

The most important thing is that Breno is favored by Kaka. In an interview a few days ago, Kaka said: "He is a very good defender."

And Breno's coach Lopez once called him: "a genius defender who meets once in 30 years."

And compared to the first two, it is much easier for AC Milan to get Breno. Bayern Munich seems to be willing to rent out this young man who is temporarily unable to play but has great potential. Let's see his development. For AC Milan, Although it is impossible to get Breno all at once, if he can be rented first and then try to buy him out in the future, it is also a way.

In the Bundesliga, another goal of AC Milan is Leverkusen's Chilean teenager Vidal. He can play central defender and midfielder, and his skills are very comprehensive.

In addition, the media also mentioned the 25-year-old Miranda of Sao Paulo and the 18-year-old Munos of Boca Juniors. The two defenders discovered by Braida during the trip to South America are the oldest and youngest in this list.

The other two people mentioned by the media are Liverpool's Danish defender Agger and Ukraine's Kyiv Dynamo's Mihalik, but the latter's "job" is the main midfielder, but sometimes he will play as a central defender.

Finally, one name was mentioned, that of Udinese's Zapata, although Udinese's Pozzo said recently: "Zampata and D'Agostino are the ones we want to keep. "

But Zapata's agent made a correction yesterday. He said: "Zampata will definitely not leave in winter. He will stay in Udinese. We will see the future in summer."

Degan knew that although many names were mentioned in this list, in fact, there were only two people who were really connected with Milan in the previous life, and finally played in the Milan jersey. One was Tia, who Florence would never let go. Ge Silva, and the other is the Colombian Zapata.

"Mr. Galliani, you can stop fantasizing now. Thiago is very good in Fiorentina. He will not leave here. We will fight side by side to win more championships!"

Followed by Thiago Silva also said: "I am very good in Fiorentina, although AC Milan's attention makes me feel honored, but now I just want to stay in Fiorentina and fight for more championships with my brothers !"

After Degan dispelled Galliani's wishful thinking, Thiago Silva also expressed his loyalty to the club with a goal in the twelfth round of Serie A against Cagliari. , after the goal, he kept kissing the team crest on his chest, to the cheers of the Viola fans in the stands of the Frakki Stadium.

However, it was not easy for Fiorentina to win this game. Although just at the beginning, Modric received a cross pass from Digan and gave Fiorentina the lead with a cold shot.

But when the game progressed to the 30th minute, Acquafresca fell to the ground in the penalty area and Kompany was sentenced to a blocking foul. The Fiorentina players were very angry at this penalty. From the slow motion, Kompany was Blocked Acquafresca's chest with his left arm, but in any case, the penalty was irreparable, Kompany was sent off, and then Acquafresca scored the equalizer.

The game continued until the end of the second half. Fiorentina took a corner kick and Thiago Silva once again overtook the score, winning the game with difficulty.

After winning this game, Fiorentina has won ten consecutive games. In the league, the points reached 27 points, ranking the helpers. The second place is the Milan duo with 21 points, and Juventus Unknowingly, Tuss has drawn a considerable distance from the championship group.

In the UEFA Champions League group stage, Fiorentina, which has won four consecutive victories, has already qualified ahead of schedule. As long as they win Bayern Munich in the next game, they will be able to secure the top spot in the group.

Although the number of goals scored by Degan this season is obviously much smaller than that of the previous seasons, but anyone with a discerning eye can see why.

In addition to the physical fatigue caused by continuous fighting throughout the summer, the more important point is that Degan has now gradually begun to change his playing style, from a simple terminator to a field commander.

In an interview, Prandelli once said: "The former Degan made people fearful, but now Degan makes people feel hopeless. He began to move away from the goal, but the whole stadium The stadium is under his control. I don't want to discuss whether Degan is the next football champion like you. Everyone can see his performance. What I want to say is that among all the players I have met Among them, Degan is the one I never want to be an opponent. Fortunately, we are on one side! This is my luck and Florence's luck!"

As the results are getting better and better, Degan's reputation in the city of Florence has reached its peak. People believe that when this season is over, the six championships that Degan promised to them will definitely come true.

There are already proposals to erect a statue of Deegan outside the Flackey Stadium, just like Batistuta did.

Regarding this, Degan just smiled helplessly and didn't say anything. Even if a statue is erected, so what, once he leaves here, he will be treated the same as Batistuta. Declared a traitor, the statue was thrown to the ground.

Digan really thought about playing here, and he really liked this city, but he also knew that it was impossible, and now he and Delaware can live in peace, but from Pakinwa From the attitude towards him, it is not difficult to see that Delaware's attitude towards him is not as trusting as before.

In the face of interests, people will always change. As Fiorentina's performance gets better and better, the value of the players in the team will also become higher and higher. One day, he will be unable to withstand the temptation of money and reach out to the inside of the team. At that time, what will Degan do?

He doesn't want to think about it!

Degan now just hopes to leave something for this team before leaving!

It is no longer big news that Fiorentina has topped the list, but Italian football is still very lively because someone is coming.

If it was just speculation before, the news has now been confirmed.

Beckham is really coming to Italy this time!
