"The Trident in the Frontcourt Perfect Performance, Inter Milan Enters the Champions League Group Stage"
"Tiger made two passes and one shot, Inter Milan defeated Sporting Lisbon at home"
"The most terrifying group shows its momentum - the Champions League powers, Inter Milan is here!"
After the first home game, Inter Milan's most expensive frontcourt attack combination's outstanding performance immediately attracted everyone's attention - in fact, before that, the number of media attention on Inter Milan was already quite large. After Ronaldo and Vieri, Inter Milan once again introduced a top superstar who could sensation in football. Although they spent a lot of money in the first two seasons, Vieri was the last top player they introduced before Tiger. In addition, Inter Milan spent a lot of money before, but the results were not good, and they already had a reputation as a black hole. Everyone also wanted to see if Inter Milan was tirelessly destroying people, even Tiger would be destroyed by the black hole...
Under this kind of attention, Inter Milan played an unexpectedly perfect match. Three superstars scored goals at the same time, and all three superstars participated in these three goals, and even made a surprising cooperation. How could it not make people sensation?
Of course, there are also discordant voices in the middle. For example, Milan Sports Daily and media from Turin have many reporters said that although the game was won beautifully, it was related to the opponent's more open-minded style of play. Inter Milan's tactics are basically just defensive counterattacks and rely on the personal abilities of frontcourt stars to solve the problem. However, there are a lot of frontcourt stars now. In the most difficult Serie A stadium, it is still an unknown number of what kind of results this tactic can have.
"Then let them see it when it's ITM Cup." Inter Milan fans said disdainfully in their interviews that in their opinion, it was just a pantothenic side of AC Milan and Juventus - but this season Serie A will definitely be very lively. After Juventus introduced Cannavaro and Camoranesi, the entire team's lineup has become more perfect, and AC Milan has introduced many good players, especially in the attacking midfield position. In addition to the original Pirlo and Rui Costa, they also introduced Sidov and Rivaldo to form the "four ten" luxury midfielder, signed Nesta on the defense line and bought Danish striker Thomasson on the front line, and the three lines were also greatly strengthened.
In this case, the traditional warm-up match between the top three in the North has also received more attention. However, it has to be said that Juventus' Lippi, AC Milan's Ancelotti and Inter Milan's Cooper are all old foxes. This weird cup match was turned into a real warm-up place by them. Each team played two halfs. In these two halfs, the three head coaches sent different lineups, almost all the players were sent to the game, and no real thing was revealed. In the end, Juventus won the championship with a record of one win and one draw, Inter Milan tied second, and AC Milan lost and one draw at the bottom.
"This game is just a warm-up, allowing the players to familiarize themselves with the rhythm of the game... The next league and the Champions League are the highlights."
Cooper said this to the players of Inter Milan, and the players also agreed. As for Tiger, he was ready to show off his skills in the newly started Serie A field. I had known that Serie A was the most difficult league to play. For Tiger now, he had already won a lot of honors and was really not small. His only pursuit was to conquer the more difficult leagues. There was no doubt that Serie A was the last mountain he had not yet conquered!
So Tiger is full of interest in the first round of Serie A starting on September 15th!
Inter Milan's first round of league this season is against Turin at home.
On September 15, more than 70,000 fans flocked to the stadium at Meazza Stadium in Milan. It is obvious that the wonderful performance of the Trident in the frontcourt at home has already sucked the appetite of Inter Milan fans. They are unwilling to watch these people's performance on TV, but hope to feel their style up close!
Before this game, Concesan sprained his right foot in training, and Cooper was forced to change the lineup - captain Sanetti pushed into the midfield, Cordoba served as the right back, while Matrazi and Adani partnered with the central defender, and no other starters changed. The frontcourt Trident still appeared, and Dalma appeared in the left forward position.
"Turin's tactic is three or five, strengthening the midfield defense, but there is a place for us to use on the wing... The ball is still concentrated at Tiger's feet, but the two wings need to follow up quickly, preparing to receive Tiger's pass, and then tear their defense from the wing. Ronnie, you can also go to the wing more and have more opportunities, do you understand?"
The players nodded to show that they understood, and then Cooper waved: "Go!"
Amidst the shocking cheers, the first round of Serie A in 2002-03 officially kicked off.
Turin ranked 11th last season. Although it no longer had the glory before the air crash, they are still a team with great strength. Not to mention Serie A teams, they often have their own unique skills in defense and relegation. It is precisely because these mid- and lower-level teams are often difficult to crack. The Serie A is called the most difficult league in the world for offensive players to survive. Only the superstars who emerge from such leagues are well-deserved top offensive players!
Almost as soon as he arrived on the court, Tiger began to feel the pressure brought by the opponent's defensive players.
Tiger was once very familiar with this kind of pressure. When playing in Manchester United, he often felt the pressure displayed by the fierce midfielders and defenders. Of course, Tiger was far inferior to that of now. However, in the next few years, few teams in La Liga, which was related to the fact that La Liga was relatively open. For most offensive players, La Liga was their paradise.
Can Tiger, who is used to heaven, survive in the hell of the offensive player of Serie A?
***************************************************
Tiger stopped the ball at his feet, and the opponent's two midfielders immediately came up. Tiger was already very familiar with this treatment. However, this time, when the two midfielders in Turin came up, Tiger felt that the opponent's overall defensive formation was quite tight, and the entire defense line followed. At the same time, the two wings were not recovered, but they had vaguely cut off their passing route to the wings. Obviously, the opponent was not stupid, so he naturally knew that this formation strengthened the defense in the middle and made the wings very weak. Naturally, he would notice that Inter Milan might attract defensive attention in the middle and then make a fuss from the wings.
"It's really tight, but... I want to try it!" Tiger laughed in his heart, then drove the ball towards the opponent's two back midfielders.
"Roar! Tiger, get rid of those two guys!" Many Inter Milan fans in the stands began to shout loudly. Although Tiger's dribbling breakthrough was not fierce, it always gave others a refreshing feeling, making people excited.
But this scene fell into the eyes of the two Turin midfielders, but it was considered a provocation...
"Teaching this guy a lesson! Let him know what Serie A defense is!"
The two midfielders did not look at each other, but they had the same thoughts in their minds. Then the two immediately rushed forward and backward. The essence of chain defense is in the bones of all Serie A defensive players. This front-and-back defense tactic has always had a good effect.
However, it is obvious that the Turin midfielders who lack experience in meeting Tiger have never heard of a truth in La Liga - if you want to defend Tiger one by one, it is equivalent to committing suicide!
This truth can work even if it is put on the Serie A arena.
With his left and right foot, Tiger fainted the first midfielder with a quick and fancy ball control move, then dribbled the ball through him, and then changed direction sharply before the second midfielder rushed up, whizzing past him!
Skill acceleration is the capital for Tiger to settle down on the court!
Almost as soon as the contact was made, Tiger got rid of the opponent's two midfielders, which made Turin's defense stunned. Taking advantage of the opponent's attention, Vieri started from the middle, and Tiger immediately raised his foot and passed the ball straight!
The ball flew past the two defenders and flew directly to Vieri, with a single blow!
"Breakthrough! Splitting the ball! Vieri's single shot--" The commentator on the scene stretched his voice and shouted loudly.
Vieri took the ball forward and began to dribble the ball forward. The Turin defender was desperately chasing behind him. However, although Vieri was a high center forward, his speed was not slow at all, which was also his terrible thing.
After bringing the ball into the penalty area, facing goalkeeper Butch, Vieri directly pushed the ball into the far corner with his left foot!
The sighs of Inter Milan fans sounded in the stands. Faced with this sure-fire single shot, Vieri may have been too arrogant. Although his push shot was not blocked by the opponent's goalkeeper Butch, he failed to fly into the goal and almost flew out of the baseline against the far post!
Inter Milan missed a good opportunity to open the first record!
Vieri also looked very regretful when he failed to score this single shot. He looked at the ball that was out of the bottom line with disbelief, then waved his hand suddenly, then turned around and smiled embarrassedly at Tiger, giving Tiger a high thumbs up, signaling him to pass it well.
Tiger waved his hand with a smile - it's okay, there is still a chance next - from the breakthrough just now, he began to feel that Serie A's defense is not that difficult to deal with, it is a little harder than La Liga. But when it was in La Liga, what kind of striker was in front of him? Now in Inter Milan, what kind of striker is in front of him?
After this period of training, Tiger really felt that Inter Milan's forward line can really beat Valencia's forward line in the past two years - even the substitute players are the same. Recoba's skills are much better than Juan Sanchez. As a center, Corradi's experience and confrontational ability are also better than Caru. As for Villa and Angulo, if they are better than Ronaldo and Vieri, they may not believe it themselves...
Someone once made statistics. In all the three-year games in Valencia, Tiger created more than ten threatening opportunities per game, while Valencia scored less than three goals per game in these three years. In other words, if Valencia's forwards are more powerful, Valencia's average number of goals will not reach ten, but it is possible to reach five. With the ability of Inter Milan strikers to seize opportunities, Tiger can completely transform more opportunities created by the opportunity into goals!
*********************************************
Tiger's confidence is indeed not something that can be easily obtained.
In the following game, Tiger continued to show his ball control and pass ability in the midfield. While constantly creating threats, the Torino defensive players began to unconsciously focus more on the middle - Tiger's breakthrough was too threatening, and this also made them feel quite faceless...
In this case, they began to forget the coach's instructions before the game and pay attention to the reminder of the defense on the wing - in fact, this cannot be blamed, because even the head coach of Turin himself forgot what he said before the game because of the threat brought by Tiger's breakthrough...
When people are in the game, it is very difficult to ensure a calm mind.
However, Tiger is a rare player who can keep a calm mind on the court, which is also his greatest value - of course, with his calm mind, he still needs his skills as the foundation.
Seeing that it was almost done, Tiger took the ball again and made a pretend breakthrough move. After attracting enough attention, he suddenly took the foot and split the side!
Most of the attention of the Turin defender is on Tiger, and then Ronaldo is shifted to the right - on the contrary, he ignores Dalma on the left - this is also normal. Under the light of Ronaldo, Vieri and Tiger, the poor French young player becomes the most inconspicuous person in the Inter Milan frontcourt attack combination...
However, this inconspicuous man received a transfer from Tiger's big foot without anyone defending him. After lifting his foot near the sideline, Dalma dribbled the ball and took a few steps forward, then looked up and observed the situation in the penalty area, and immediately made a cross with his left foot!
This was a cross with a very obvious arc. Vieri, who had just missed an opportunity, rushed forward and got rid of the opponent's defender Fattori, then jumped high against the ball and smashed the ball into the goal of Turin!
"The ball is scored! A beautiful goal, Dalma assisted Vieri to score a header! The first goal in Serie A this season was produced! Vieri!"
"This goal is thanks to Tiger's instigation in the middle, which attracted most defensive players. Dalma's catch and cross were easy. Of course, Ronaldo also involved the attention of many Torino defenders at the back point. Inter Milan's front-court attack combination is gradually taking shape. In addition to the front-court trident, Dalma and Emre are both very skilled players. Perhaps Inter Milan will change the characteristics of the midfield lacking technical content and begin to become skillful and efficient. This is good news!"
After leading with one goal, Inter Milan began to play more easily. For Serie A teams, how to maintain victory until the end of the game is a compulsory course after leading, Inter Milan is naturally not unfamiliar with it.
What's more, Turin cannot make a big attack without scruples. Several players in Inter Milan's frontcourt just have a personal breakthrough, and they can only continue to hang up and see if they can get any advantage...
Under Tiger's instigation, Ronaldo got several opportunities, but his condition did not seem to be very good. He missed several opportunities, especially before the end of the first half, Tiger made a long pass in the middle, Vieri headed the ball, and Ronaldo almost made a one-on-one strike. However, under the interference of the defender, Ronaldo's shot flew away, which caused a sigh in the stands.
"Bobo and Ronnie don't seem to be in very good shape in this game," said the assistant coach.
Cooper nodded slightly, but he was not worried about anything - because Tiger's performance was as good as ever! It seemed that the so-called "World Cup syndrome" did not work for him at all. With the help of such a player, Ronaldo and Vieri's condition will sooner or later recover!
In the second half, Tiger even shot at the front of the penalty area to announce to everyone how good his current state is. After the World Cup ended four years ago, the myths of Ronaldo and Piero were shattered at the same time, while Zidane's performance in the next season was not very good. After Tiger's outstanding performance in this World Cup, he continued his previous outstanding state!
"goooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Tiger's first goal in Serie A! Beautiful volley! 2-0, Inter Milan established the victory! Tiger's performance was so outstanding, and it was another goal to schedule! Two official games, two goals and two assists, this is the answer given by Tiger! Who can still have any objection to his value?"
Tiger rushed to the sidelines, then jumped over the billboard on the sidelines, rushed to the bottom of the stands, and then waved his fists at the stands!
Serie A is the hell of offensive players? To me, that doesn't exist!
In this hell where many geniuses were buried, Tiger declared his existence with a tiger roar that shocked all beasts!
For me, no place is hell! Where I am, is the mountain where I rule everything!
Inter Milan fans in the stands shouted Tiger's name. As soon as the team can achieve such outstanding results, they began to believe more that they will definitely be extremely brilliant this season, and the glory of the Greater Inter Milan era will be shrouded on them in more than 30 years!
Chapter completed!
