Chapter 357 My territory

"The 2002-2003 Serie A has officially come to an end. Before the start of the season, we bought the new World Cup top scorer with a lot of money. English player Tiger Lee's Inter Milan won the Serie A championship this season with an unbeaten record. The 26 wins and eight draws made them the first team in the Italian League One to win the championship with an unbeaten record. At the same time, it also set a series of records - the most wins (tied), the fewest losses, the most goals, and the most goals... After the game, five players were selected for the best team in Serie A this season, including goalkeeper Tordo, defender Zanetti, and the midfielder

Dibiagio and Tiger, forward Vieri... Ronaldo and Recoba failed to be selected for the best team of the season because of their few appearances. However, their performance is also eye-catching. This is a season where Inter Milan has blossomed in full swing. Inter Milan won the 14th league championship in their club history. If we can continue to win the championship in the next Italian Cup and Champions League finals, we can fully announce that this is the beginning of another 'Greater Inter Milan era'. Massimo Moratti has pushed the career left by his father to the top, and it can even be said that his father has not reached the heights!"

"Inter Milan players traveled the entire Milan city last week in a bus with the roof removed, showing their achievements to their fans. Countless Inter Milan fans were cheering. Even when they won the championship and advanced to the Champions League finals in advance, they had cheered for a long time, but they still didn't feel tired or tired... For the long-awaited Inter Milan fans, they would look so hungry for any championship because they had been waiting for a long time!"

"Inter Milan's success this season is due to their strong offense. Although head coach Cooper started out as a defensive player in La Liga, in this season, he has used four top offensive players well... Vieri, 25 league goals and five championship goals; Ronaldo, 14 league goals and 12 championship goals; Recoba, 13 league goals and 3 championship goals... It is more worth mentioning that Tiger, in the league, his goals reached 22, and he is the second Serie A scorer, in the championship

In the Military Cup, he scored ten goals, second only to his teammates Ronaldo, who ranked first in the scorer list and Manchester United's Dutch scorer Van Nistruei. He is one of the few players who can score double-digit goals in the league and the Champions League this season. In Serie A, only he and Ronaldo can achieve this data. At the beginning of this year, he won the World Footballer and the European Golden Ball Awards. No one can question this result. This attacking midfielder who is about to turn 28 is the best player in the world!”

"The Premier League champion, FA Cup, Champions League champion in the 98-99 season; the Spanish Super Cup champion in the 99-00 season, Champions League champion in the 200-01 season; the European Super Cup champion in the 200-01 season, La Liga champion, Toyota Cup champion; the Spanish Super Cup champion in the 2001-02 season, La Liga champion... Since becoming a part of the top league, Tiger has snatched honors in the hands of other stars at an incredible speed, at Manchester United

At that time, he was just a super substitute and part of the team. In Valencia, he began to become the core of the entire team. Although he did not replicate the tri-championship in Manchester United, he had gradually become a top player... and now, he has become the best player in the world! The only regret we regret is why he can't become famous earlier, so that we can see more outstanding performances..."

When the last round of Serie A came to an end, major European sports media told in detail about the brilliant achievements made by Inter Milan in Serie A this season, and emphasized that Tiger, who won the first league championship in 15 years after joining Inter Milan. Although everyone knows that winning a championship will definitely not be a credit for someone, it is undeniable that Inter Milan has only one important signing this season. It is Tiger's arrival that catalyzes the overall strength of Inter Milan and won the league championship!

It is reported that the extremely excited Inter Milan president Moratti held a banquet in his mansion that night, and invited all Inter Milan players and their families to come to the banquet. The reporters who were guarding the door did not watch the tired and excited players leave Moratti's home one by one until dawn...

For Inter Milan, what they are looking forward to is not the second leg of the Italian Cup final in a week, but the Champions League final in two weeks!

In the next period, Cooper, except for giving the team a day off, was all about getting the main players back to their physical fitness. In the second leg of the Italian Cup final a week later, Cooper did not let the quartet in the frontcourt appear, but only ensured that the main players in the backcourt were Emre, Dalma, Martins and Corradi...

In this game, Inter Milan was at a disadvantage. Inzagi and Rivaldo's goals made them fall behind twice, but the advantage of three goals difference allowed them to play with ease. Coradi and Emre seized the opportunity of two set pieces to score one goal each. Inter Milan drew AC Milan 2-2 at home, winning the fourth Italian Cup in club history with a score of 6-3 in two rounds!

"In a row of Serie A and Copa Italy championships within a week, Inter Milan is striding towards the first triple-champion in club history!"

After continuing the grand celebration for a day, the entire Inter Milan team immediately flew to England to prepare for their last and most important final of the season!

************************************************

Morati naturally attaches great importance to this final.

The Inter Milan boss directly booked a plane to transport all the players to Manchester, and also booked a full floor of the Hilton Hotel, a famous top-notch hotel chain in Manchester. This was a huge sum of money. You should know that even if you went to play away games before, you would only live in a four-star rating at most...

Juventus is not to be outdone. Inter Milan moved into Hilton, so they moved into Ramada. In history, both teams have only won the Champions League championship twice. For the club's third Champions League championship, both clubs have made sacrifices...

However, it is obvious that this final is not very beneficial to Juventus...

In addition to the suspension of the midfield core Nedved, this game venue is not a good place for Juventus.

When Inter Milan was conducting adaptive training at Old Trafford for the first time, in addition to many Inter Milan fans cheering for the team, there were even a large number of fans wearing Manchester United jerseys coming to watch the training ground - they were not here to cheer for Inter Milan, but to cheer for Tiger...

Although Tiger only stayed at Manchester United for one season, for Manchester United fans, that season was a season that made them unforgettable - in that season, they became an unprecedented triple-champion in England. At the beginning, Tiger's performance was not very good. However, after becoming the main player of Manchester United in the second half, he began to make rapid progress with Manchester United on three fronts, and then completed the season that made all Manchester United fans crazy!

After that season, Tiger chose to leave and go to Spain. Although Manchester United fans felt a little regretful, they didn't feel reluctant. After all, Tiger was not his own person. After all, Manchester United still has Beckham, Giggs, Scholes, Keane...

However, in the following seasons, although Manchester United still dominated the Premier League, they never won the championship in the Champions League, and they never even entered the final. Tiger led the team to the Champions League final twice in Valencia, once won the championship, and this time they reached the Champions League final with Inter Milan again. When Manchester United fans sighed, they also began to feel that perhaps it was a big mistake to give up Tiger at that time...

It is precisely this indescribable emotion that prompted Manchester United fans to come to Inter Milan's training ground to watch the training of this team that has nothing to do with them.

"See it, this is my territory."

On the training ground, Tiger said to his teammates very proudly, which made Ronaldo and others speechless.

However, it is undeniable that this situation makes Inter Milan players more confident, and everything is moving in a direction that is beneficial to them - the opponent's main players are suspended, the team's morale is high, and they have a record of winning the same-city derby in European games. In addition, they now have a vague home advantage...

Cooper looked at the players' training and also noticed what happened on the sidelines, with a faint smile on his face.

Maybe in a few days, at Old Trafford, Tiger's presence will bring some surprises to Inter Milan...

Now, Cooper is full of great confidence in leading the team to a brilliant triple crown this season!

Even Cooper, who had been calm, was extremely excited because of the coming of this honor!

The same is true for Inter Milan players.

******************************************************

Manchester, which originally had only two colors of red and blue, has added two new colors this week - black and white and blue and black. As the Champions League final approaches day by day, the proportion of these two colors in Manchester has become larger and larger!

After arriving on June 8, more than 63,000 fans flocked to Old Trafford Stadium, 20,000 Inter Milan fans, and 20,000 Juventus fans, filling the entire north and south sides of the stands, and between them were more than 20,000 local Manchester fans and tourists!

Before the game began, the team songs of both sides began to echo in the stands!

The battle between the two sides begins first among fans!

There is no doubt that Inter Milan has the upper hand in this competition. Although the number of players is similar to that of the opponent, most Manchester fans have joined Inter Milan's side - they may not care whether Inter Milan will become the triple crown. They just want to express their support for Tiger!

Even Inter Milan may win the honor of the triple-champion like Manchester United. However, at this time, they were not jealous in their hearts - Tiger is the pride of England and also Manchester United. Without the outstanding performance at Manchester United that season, maybe there would be no Tiger, the world's number one player now!

"In this game, the core content of our tactics is offense!"

Cooper waved his fist in the locker room, but his words were in vain, because everyone knew that the tactic used in Inter Milan in this game was offensive...

This can be seen from the starting lineup sent by Cooper before!

In addition to the four kings in the frontcourt, Cooper put Zanetti on the bench, and replaced by Portuguese Concesan - after knowing Juventus' starting lineup, Cooper rarely boldly made a move in the final!

After Nedved was suspended, Zanbrotta replaced his left forward position. Although Zanbrotta is also an excellent wing player, taking all four positions on the left and right, he is not Nedved after all - he lacks the ability to create threats in the middle of the wing!

Zambrota is an important part of Juventus' lineup, while Nedved is the core and source of Juventus' offense - this is the difference between the two!

Nedved replaced Zanbrotta, Inter Milan may have greater pressure on the wing, but the pressure on the middle will definitely be smaller!

This is also why Cooper decisively replaced a defensive midfielder and added a wide attacker!

After Concesan came on the court, Inter Milan's wide offense would be more convenient. Although the defense in the middle was weakened, Nedved was not there, and Cooper was confident that Tiger could hold back the attacks of two opponent's midfielders Tacinadi and Davis. Even if Dibiagio was the only one in the middle, there would not be too big problems!

This is a manifestation of confidence, which is the outstanding record of Inter Milan this season and the confidence accumulated by winning Juventus in the league.

Starting lineup - Inter Milan, Tordo, Sanetti, Cordoba, Matrazi, Pasquale, Dibiagio, Concesan, Recoba, Tiger, Ronaldo, Vieri!

Juventus: Buffon, Turam, Tudor, Ferrara, Cannavaro, Davis, Tacinadi, Zambrota, Camoranesi, Piero, Trezege!

The biggest change Lippi made in the starting lineup was to let Cannavaro serve as the left back to make up for the vacancy of Zambrota, and let Tudor, who was originally a midfielder, return to the position of the central defender and let Tachinadi serve as the midfielder. Juventus was indeed greatly affected by Nedved's suspension...

When the players on both sides appeared in the stadium, the cheers in the stands became even louder!

Countless people are paying attention to this important game!

If Inter Milan wins, they will win the unprecedented triple-champion of the Serie A team. If Juventus wins, they will successfully block Inter Milan in the situation of a double-line defeat in the league and the Italian Cup. For these two teams with deep grudges, their desire to win in this game is equally strong!

When the players of both sides shake hands, you can feel the strength of the handshake - how much the other party values ​​this game!

The first one to kick off was Inter Milan.

When Ronaldo turned the ball kicked by Vieri to Tiger behind him, a huge cheer suddenly burst out from the stands!

Cheers include most Manchester United fans in addition to Inter Milan fans!

Juventus fans booed - the Englishman made their century-old enemy proud as soon as he transferred to Inter Milan. Naturally, this player became their object of hatred. Of course, they were not without helpers. Among the neutral fans, many Manchester people booed, they were Manchester City fans...

Amid the cheers and boos in the sky, Tiger remained motionless. After taking the ball, he turned slightly, pretending to be trying to pass the ball back, but quickly hit the ball forward, and then rushed through Trezege and Piero who were rushing up!

Seeing Tiger dribbling the ball, he made a breakthrough from the middle. Whether it was the fans in the stands, the coaches and substitutes on the sidelines, or the players on both sides of the court, they all immediately tense up!

Tiger has started to take the ball and break forward as soon as he kicks off. This is something that Tiger has never done before, but often when he does this, he has a high chance of scoring!

"Oh oh oh oh oh oh - what we saw! Tiger dribbled the ball and broke through the frontcourt as soon as he kicked off! This is what he talked about the most. This practice of personal heroism of classical football has basically disappeared in modern football. In the past few years, almost no players have been able to do this on the court. Only Tiger can repeatedly complete such almost miraculous goals on the court. According to our statistics, after he entered the top league, he had personally dribbled the ball and broke through after nine kickoffs in the official game. He faced strong teams at the giant level, but he scored all nine times in surprisingly! Although some were one-stop breakthroughs, some were goals completed by agile and teammates, this success rate was really amazing! Will he score this time?"

Espn's commentator shouted like crazy when he saw Tiger rushing forward with the ball, and his words poured out of his mouth like a cannon!

In the stadium, listening to the sound of the wind in his ears, Tiger's chest was filled with unparalleled passion and fighting spirit!

This is England, Manchester, and Old Trafford! This stadium is my territory! No one can stop me from moving forward on my territory!
Chapter completed!
