19, the defense of Meazza

If Inter Milan won the Stamford Bridge battle because they paid enough attention to Chelsea, had studied thoroughly before the game and got used to Chelsea's tactics, then the defense of San Siro was a good one for Inter Milan. lesson.

After the Stamford Bridge battle, both Inter Milan and Lionwell seemed to be on the right track. The continuous victories in the league made this promising team gradually forget what Palermo brought them in the Barbera battle Painful lesson.

People are like this, forget the pain when the scar is healed.

Recently, Leon has been doing well on and off the court. On the court, he is still the omnipotent commander of Inter Milan. Wherever Leon's sword is pointed, Inter Milan must overcome and win. If there is an award for the best commander in football, the Italian Football Association should indeed consider awarding Leon such an award.

And off the court, after having the first relationship with Miranda, it seems that Leon has become an indispensable topic every day from the heel to the root of Miranda's buttocks.

In the past two weeks, apart from Leon's small wings, next year's Dali Zhengyin striker Gilardino did not go to Milan, and Fiorentina, who went to Milan, brought some small pressure on Inter Milan. It's really smooth.

Mancini seems to have foreseen that he is about to start an era of famous players. A big international era that truly belongs to Inter Milan and Inter Milan people is right in front of Mancini and all Inter Milan players.

However, the gods of history never let comedy go on forever.

It's like in TV dramas, comedy must be followed by tragedy, and Inter Milan on the football field is no exception.

God has arranged an opponent for this invincible Inter Milan, and the name of this opponent is - Liverpool.

As last year's Champions League champions, Liverpool should indeed attract the attention of Inter Milan, but Mancini did not put Liverpool in his eyes at all.

Because in Mancini's eyes, Benitez is a Spaniard who can only play anti-reverse. Last year's Champions League victory was nothing more than Liverpool's good luck and adhering to God's will.

Inter Milan has a reason to let the defending champions who lost to Betis in the first round of the Champions League know at their home court-here is Meazza.

Benitez came, and he almost came to San Siro with a letter of surrender.

"Inter Milan is a great team. It is too difficult to win at Meazza. We only hope to draw with the most powerful opponent in this group stage, and then strive to qualify for the second place in the group." Don't know Beni Tes is not proficient in thick and black studies, anyway, this person is really powerful.

When Benitez coached Liverpool, Ferguson, Mourinho, Wenger and other Premier League coaches were all miserable by this wretched Spanish fat man.

Benitez's plan succeeded, and his "declaration" speech made Inter Milan really feel the pride of the giants.

Look, the former kings of Europe, Liverpool, have to bow to us now. They were the defending champions last year, but now they admit that we are stronger.

The second era of the big international has come, and we are the strongest team in Europe. Just when every Inter Milan fan is complacent, they don't know that Benitez has arranged all the plans to capture Meazza in private.

Everything is ready!

...

In Benitez's pre-match arrangement, two people became the key to Liverpool's victory at San Siro, one was the Red Army captain Stephen Gerrard, and the other was his fellow Xavi Alonso.

Let's talk about Gerrard's legendary career first. Anyway, before Owen defected, Gerrard was just a player that Liverpool fans liked more. However, after Owen's defection, angry Liverpool fans discovered that this talented midfielder seemed to be the real Anfield emperor.

The Istanbul night brought Gerrard's career to its peak. Since then, although Gerrard has continued to improve in personal strength, he has never reached such a peak.

The Istanbul career has created two legends, one is the immortal Red Army, and the other is the tenacious team spirit.

Since then, Gerrard has become a symbol of the Red Army, he is the captain of the team, he is the king of Anfield, whenever he steps on the Anfield stadium, the Liverpool fans will applaud and cheer for him .

Fans hate traitors, but they also love loyalists.

Owen is the former, while Gerrard is the latter.

As the core of Liverpool's tactics, in addition to his prestige, Gerrard's personal strength is also quite strong.

At least in the eyes of the English blowers, Gerrard has the ability not inferior to Lionwell. He is a running machine, a passing machine, and even a scoring machine.

closure

The characteristics of Gerrard can be described in two words - Almighty.

Indeed, all-round, whether it is offense or defense, Gerrard is the backbone of Liverpool.

Therefore, if Benitez wants to capture Meazza, Gerrard is the key. In this game, Benitez arranged a difficult task for Gerrard, which is to let him entangle the Inter Milan commander-Lion Will.

It's a pretty tough job because even Chelsea's Makelele can't do it, can Gerrard do it?

Let's talk about Benitez's fellow Xavi Alonso, the Spaniard is indeed a legend. Generally speaking, the styles of European leagues are very different. The cleverness of Spain, the rhythm of the Bundesliga, the fastness of the Premier League, the stability of Serie A, and the slowness of Ligue 1 all deeply affect the playing in these leagues. players.

Overall, it is difficult for most Spanish players to adapt to the Premier League, at least before Alonso, there were very few successful examples.

As for young talents like Silva and Mata later, that is another matter.

Speaking of Alonso, one has to talk about his fellow countryman Benitez. Anyway, no one knows what the relationship between these two people is. In short, one thing that is certain is that Benitez trusts Alonso. And Alonso's performance is also quite impressive.

Whether it is passing or defending, he has the momentum of Guardiola back then, and Alonso is different from ordinary Spanish players. His physique is relatively strong, which allows him to gain a firm foothold in the Premier League where there are many athletes.

And Alonso has a quality that is difficult for other players to have, that is calmness.

On the night of Istanbul, this calm Spaniard's calm make-up after missing a penalty kick is the best proof of his calmness.

Gerrard and Alonso, Benitez put the treasure on the two of them, one Makelele can't deal with Leonwell, so what about Gerard and Alonso?

Mancini was too careless. Although Benitez did not have as many elite players as he did, Benitez has always been a man who likes to turn a bad deck into a good one and use a good deck to use it. A bad head coach.

On October 20, 2005, Inter Milan started their second match of this season's Champions League group stage in Meazza, at home against the defending champion Red Army Liverpool.

In the last round of the Champions League, Inter Milan retreated at Stamford Bridge, while Liverpool lost unexpectedly to Betis. It can be said that the current situation of the two teams can be described as very different.

The public opinion before the game was also unanimously optimistic about Inter Milan's victory.

Because they are too strong, so strong that their opponents can't find any flaws.

However, is Inter Milan really flawless? At least in the eyes of Benitez there is,

This is enough.

After two weeks, Leon's new ability, ghost step, has been upgraded to level two. However, Leon doesn't seem to have paid much attention to the skill of ghost step.

In his home San Siro, Mancini sent the strongest eleven Inter Milan players.

The three who got the pioneer seal are Carlos Tevez, Adriano and Luca Toni. The three of them will be responsible for breaking down Liverpool's defense, and of course the battalion led by Leon will be in the middle. In addition to Ang, there are Cambiasso and Luis Figo sitting in charge.

The five people in charge of the rear are Zanetti, Samuel, Cannavaro, Maicon and Cesar.

The foolproof lineup, Comrade Mancini's strategy of focusing on me, even though the enemy is ever-changing, makes Inter Milan's players too confident in themselves.

Compared with the luxury of Inter Milan's lineup, as the defending champion, Liverpool is really a bit ordinary.

Crouch with a bamboo pole, Cisse with fast speed and rough feet, Luis Garcia, Gerrard, Alonso, Carragher, Riise, Finnan, Hyypia, Reina... …

Benitez actually wanted to use such a lineup to capture Meazza. I have to say that he is indeed a bit daring.

At least in terms of the lineups of both sides, Liverpool is definitely a level behind Inter Milan.

But the football game once again tells people that the lineup is never the key to determining the outcome of a game.

At least, the moment Benitez and his players set foot on San Siro, their expressions were not as friendly as they were before the game.

This is a team of tigers and wolves. If Crouch does not have an English registered permanent residence, no one may even know that such a center is lost in Italy. At least he is not on the same level as Tony and Adriano, and even Gilardino. There are gaps.

Cisse is very fast, but he is only very fast. A striker who only scores once in five single-handed kicks, why should he be afraid?

Although Luis Garcia can always score goals in unexpected ways, who can guarantee that this guy will be good?

Gerrard and Alonso may be the big names in this Liverpool team. The powerful grenade may be Riise's only bright spot. Finnan, who is good at long passes, is just a good professional player if he subtracts the exaggeration of the British media. Now, as for Hypia, can Lian Po be old enough to eat?

Oh, almost forgot Reina, the talented but tragic goalkeeper.

He is really strong and quick to respond. However, it is his misfortune to be born in the same era as Casillas.

Well, so far, the players from both sides have been introduced, and the defense of Meazza is about to begin.

What will Benitez do to embarrass Mancini?

The suspense is about to be revealed!
