Three Hundred and Two, We Are Optimistic About You!
I don't know if it's because the defending champion can get some care, or because of other reasons, Inter Milan once again drew a good u in the u lottery of the second round of the group stage.
Greece's Panathinaikos, Portugal's Porto, and France's Nantes did not meet teams from the four major leagues. Yang Cheng couldn't help but worry about gains and losses.
The first round of the group stage was uneventful, and the second round of the group stage once again got a good lottery. The whole world felt that Inter Milan had gotten lucky and was recommended to the top 8, but Yang Cheng would rather meet in the group stage. to a little more tribulation.
The UEFA Champions League is a very strange game, and the tactics are highly targeted, especially in the knockout rounds. Therefore, if you can meet more tests in the group stage and learn more about the team's problems, it will be of great help to the knockout rounds.
But on the other hand, if the group stage goes smoothly, all problems will be covered up. This is definitely not a good phenomenon!
On the other hand, the main competitors, Manchester United and Bayern Munich are assigned to the same group, and the performance of the British Red Devils in the first round of the group stage is very average; Barcelona, Liverpool and Roma are assigned to the same group; the last group is Kaiserslautern, Deportivo Runia, Arsenal and Juventus, the damned group of death.
When Yang Cheng saw the result of the u lottery, he really didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
Maybe people are like this. When you are overly lucky, you will start to worry about gains and losses.
"You must pay attention to the atmosphere in the team, and it must not breed arrogance and arrogance." Yang Cheng walked out of the training building, followed by Paul Bayer, Tim Hank and other assistants, and they all followed around Yang Cheng .
He always believes that pride is the death of a championship team, especially after just experiencing the peak, that kind of honor and achievement can easily lead to loss, so Yang Cheng has emphasized a lot this season, that is, the mentality must be correct .
A large part of the reason why the Milan Derby was able to win was that Yang Cheng lowered his mentality and allowed his team to appear as a weak player in a defensive counterattack situation, which made the Inter Milan players burst into stronger combat effectiveness.
"It's true that the outside world has been overwhelmed now. The unbeaten 9 games have been said to be like booking the league championship." Paul Bayer also felt that the mentality must be grasped.
"I'll leave this matter to you, and I will try to minimize contact with the media." Yang Cheng frowned.
It is actually very troublesome for the head coach to be interviewed by the media, and he must be careful in what he says and does.
speak with confidence
It may cause the players to be proud and blindly feel that they are strong enough to deal with all challenges, but if they are not confident or humble, they may be suspected of surrendering without a fight. In short, every word must be cautious .
Even for a head coach like Yang Cheng who often deals with the media, the more critical the moment is, the more careful he is in what he says and does.
Paul Bayer nodded in agreement, this is what he often does as an assistant.

In the next few days, Inter Milan declined all interviews and concentrated on preparing for the first round of the league. Lecce ushered in at home.
The strength of the opponent is not strong, and the start of the season is also very bad, but they are very desperate against Inter Milan.
The reason is very simple. Now the front pass is so fierce outside, especially the Italian mainstream media are starting to hype Inter Milan, hoping that someone can stand up and beat Inter Milan, and it is best to end Inter Milan's unbeaten streak.
The guy Moji jumped out to accuse Inter Milan before.
"I always believe that one of the most important reasons why the Serie A teams are not doing well in Europe is Inter Milan. They have destroyed the original balance and strength of the Serie A because they always buy from their competitors at a lower price. While poaching the players they value, weakening the strength of the opponent., "Gambrotta, Luca Toni, Perrotta, Nesta, Ferrari and other players came to the Meazza Stadium in this way, But what they did was not just that, they were also unscrupulously driving up the transfer price, whether they liked it or not, whether they wanted it or not, they would participate in the competition, they turned the transfer market into a vegetable market, which greatly A blow to the competitiveness of other Serie A teams. , Moji's doubts are specious, and there is indeed a certain truth, but it may not be the case.
Zuo of Gazzetta dello Sport quickly made a public rebuttal for Yang Cheng, whom he supports, in his column.
"We all know that Inter Milan is now strong and Juventus is weak, so Moggi started to prepare to subvert, but he didn't think about it, what qualifications does he have to criticize others?" Said to drive up prices? If Cassano hadn't been involved by Juventus, his transfer fee would have been so high? Did the Holy Alliance seldom use this kind of transfer battle to attack opponents in the past? "As for Zambrotta and other players, I personally think that judging from the current performance of this group of players, the price was indeed low when they were introduced, but don't forget that their current outstanding performance is because they are in Inter Milan. They may have strength in the past, but they may not be able to have the current reputation and performance. "I believe the level of Yang Cheng's purchase of players can be seen clearly by the whole world. Almost all the players he introduced are genuine. Can we accuse him of damaging the competitiveness of other Serie A teams because he has a keen eye for selecting the players he needs, bringing them to the Meazza Stadium at a low price, and then cultivating them into talents? , "Serie A teams have performed poorly in the European arena. The reason is that the investment of Serie A teams is generally not high. Juventus has been shrinking and dieting in the past few seasons, and Milan is facing adjustments. The two teams are in the European arena. The performance in the field is very unsatisfactory. "Lazio and Roma's poor European competition is caused by the problems of the two clubs themselves, such as Lazio's dynamics and so on. In contrast, Inter Milan, no matter in terms of investment, In terms of tactics, they are all stable, plus a Caesar who claims to be the best at playing in the Champions League, it is only natural that he is strong.”
Zuo took the initiative to defend himself, and Yang Cheng did not intervene in it, but he expressed his gratitude to Zuo at the press conference before the game against Lecce, and said that Moji had ulterior motives.
"He can confuse concepts and hope that our Inter Milan will be the enemy of the whole of Italy. I will not do this kind of thing. I just want to say that the strength of Inter Milan comes step by step, and everyone can see it. We are still making progress, and I don't need to change my plans and goals for some irrelevant words., In the second round of Serie A on the second day, Inter Milan relied on Ruud van Nistelrooy and Nerazzurri cleanly. De Ved's goal, 2:o defeated Lecce at home, although the game process was very difficult, but Inter Milan won aboveboard.
On the contrary, Juventus, which was previously crowned by Moggi as the underdog, performed weakly in the away game against Verona, especially the offensive power of this team. After leading twice in a row, it was defeated Verona equalized the score consecutively, and in the end they could only get a 2:2 draw.
At the same time, Milan, which had just experienced a disastrous defeat in the derby, was not spared either. Ancelotti's first game after taking office, he lost to Torino in the away game 0:1, and Inter Milan continued to widen the points gap.
Capello's team is also poor in this round of the league, with a 1:1 away draw with Atlanta and a draw.
On the contrary, Lazio, which has not been doing well this season, slaughtered Brescia 5:0 at home.
A week later, Inter Milan ushered in the last 16 knockout round of the Coppa Italia and challenged Udinese away.
Inter Milan, who played the main force, defeated Udinese 2:1 in the away game and took advantage of the promotion.
But a week later, Inter Milan's away game ended in a draw with Rome.
The first 11 rounds had 9 wins and 2 draws, and 2 of the draws were all 0:0, all of which were encountered by the opponent's tenacious sniping, which made everyone have to be deeply impressed by the strength of Inter Milan this season.

"
Although there was a Champions League second-round group stage match on Wednesday, Inter Milan still took a day off after playing Rome and did not resume training until Sunday.
After Yang Cheng presided over the team's training session in the morning, he greeted the players, turned around and walked towards the training building.
Although the away game was turned into 0:0 by Roma, the atmosphere in the Inter Milan team seemed better than before.
The reason may be seen as a sigh of relief.
Even though Inter Milan had won consecutive victories before, the pressure was not small after all. Now that they have drawn a game, it is still the most embarrassing draw. The players have relaxed a lot.
"Hi, Gran." Yang Cheng came to the gate and waved towards Gran Nack.
"It's not easy to do an exclusive interview with you, Caesar," Gran Nack said with a smile.
The two walked into the training building one after the other, and went directly to Yang Cheng's office.
After the host and guest sit down, Yang Cheng will make tea for the guests, which is his way of hospitality.
Although it was hard to get an exclusive interview right from Yang Cheng, Gran Nack didn't feel aggrieved at all, because this was the first time in a long time that someone was able to conduct an exclusive interview with Yang Cheng.
The better the team's performance, the more Yang Cheng seems to be alienated from the media.
"There are rumors from the outside world that you are going to ban the news media." Gran Nack stood up from the sofa with a smile, and walked to the window in the living room, where Yang Cheng's honor was placed.
29 years old, but already has a lot of honors, including two Champions League titles, the Cup Winners' Cup, the best coach in Europe, the best Italian coach of the year"The cupboard is full of trophies and medals.
"Like it?" Yang Cheng smiled when he saw Gran Nack's expression, "Take it if you like it."
Gran Nack laughed, turned his head and glanced at this guy, and said bitterly: "All? "Yes" Yang Cheng was very sure.
But his next sentence is very shocking, "I'm not like you, I'm not old enough to live on these honors"
Gran Nack sat back angrily, and opened the recorder and notepad in a businesslike manner.
The guy on the opposite side immediately handed over a small and exquisite teacup, and poured a cup of hot fragrant tea, "Try it, the specialty of my hometown, Tieguanyin, is authentic."
What kind of tea, Gran Nack can't taste it, but Yang Cheng knows how to treat his friends.
Not long ago, Inter Milan’s official website reported that Caesar’s family had sent some high-quality tea from their hometown. Apart from keeping Yang Cheng for his own use, most of them were given away as gifts to Moratti, Facchetti, Friends such as Ferguson, Heathfield and Beckenbauer.
Therefore, those who can be entertained by him with tea are all friends!
"The winning streak has stopped, are you worried about the next round against Fiorentina?" Gran Nack drank tea and began to conduct an interview. After all, he has reserved a page for Yang Cheng's exclusive interview in Kicker Magazine .
"No, there is nothing to worry about." Yang Cheng said lightly, "A draw is a very reasonable result." Gran Nack asked again, "Inter Milan has been unbeaten in 11 rounds this season. The only team unbeaten, what do you think of the last 11 games? , Yang Cheng took a sip of tea, blinked his mouth net, and moisturized, "It's no different from ordinary games. You know, for a head coach, he often does more when he wins than when he loses. However, the famous German reporter feels the same about this, and Hitzfeld once said the same thing.
"Have you ever thought about what championship you want to compete for?" Yang Cheng laughed and shook his head, "Serie A, Champions League, Coppa Italia, I want them all."
Gran Nack also laughed. He suddenly felt that it was an amateur to ask Yang Cheng this question, but he had to ask it because the readers wanted to know.
"Many people say that the current Inter Milan team is very strong and perfect.
