Four Hundred and Sixtieth Chapters Big Cleaning

A week after Inter Milan returned to Italy, the Italian TIM Cup started.

TIM Cup is a summer warm-up match between the traditional top three of Serie A held by Tim Telecom. It is participated by three teams: Inter Milan, AC Milan and Juventus. minutes, and finally the rankings are determined by the results of the three battles.

Serie A is about to start, and the traditional TIM Cup triangle match is a comprehensive test of the summer preparations of the three giants in the north.

In the first game against Juventus, Mourinho unexpectedly formed a 4-3-3 formation, with Quaresma and Mancini playing as wingers, Eto'o as center forward, Gao Xiaodong, Cambiasso, Stanko Vichi has three defensive midfielders, of which Gao Xiaodong comes forward and organizes the offense more, while Cambiasso and Stankovic are responsible for the defense.

In order to play 433 last season, Mourinho bought Quaresma and Mancini Jr., but one was loaned out and the other came off the bench. The 433 formation failed, and Mourinho had to play Manic again. The previous 4312 formation.

The 433 formation and the failure of the buyer dealt a great blow to Mourinho's authority. Moratti therefore took away part of the transfer rights, and the Argentine gang's voice in Inter Milan was also growing.

Mourinho is obviously not reconciled to failure. He believes that the 433 failures last season were mainly due to Inter Milan's lack of midfield organizers. Now that they have Gao Xiaodong's organization and Lucio who can attack, he I want to try the 433 formation again.

The Argentines do not support the 433 formation. If they play this formation, Cruz, who can only play as a center forward, will have no chance. Playing as a left back, Burdisso can't even be the first substitute. In a 433 formation, the Argentines can only have two main players. Chance.

In the game against Juventus, Quaresma and Mancini, who had regained their chances, performed very actively and made breakthroughs on the wing many times, but Gao Xiaodong was embarrassed in the middle, because his position and Cambiasso, Stankovic is very close, and the defenders get the ball more for the familiar Cambiasso and Stankovic, and Cambiasso and Stankovic can directly cooperate with the wing or pass it to the side. For center Eto'o, there is no need for Gao Xiaodong to make a transition.

Gao Xiaodong has no possession of the ball, so he can only do the rough and dirty work of stealing and intercepting. Gao Xiaodong is also very good as a defensive midfielder, but this is not what Mourinho wants to see. He spent 50 million, which is by no means let Gao Xiaodong came to play the defensive midfielder.

After Juventus adapted to the changes in Inter Milan, they immediately strengthened their defense on the wing, blocked the breakthroughs of Quaresma and Mancini, and the attack on the wing failed. Cambiasso and Stankovic organized in the midfield. The weakness of poor scheduling was exposed. Their passes couldn't break through Juventus' defense, and they didn't have the ability to break through individually. They didn't want to give the ball to Gao Xiaodong, and Inter Milan's offense quickly fell into a state of constipation.

The game time was only 45 minutes, and Mourinho had no time and space to adjust. Inter Milan finally drew with Juventus 1:1.

After the game, Mourinho was very dissatisfied with the behavior of the South American gang, who was acting against the will and isolating Gao Xiaodong, and strengthened his determination to dismantle the South American gang and attack the Argentine gang.

In the second game against AC Milan, Mourinho changed the formation to 4213, experimenting with the formation and style of attacking midfielder + winger.

In this game, Mourinho put Cambiasso, Samuel, Cruz and Burdisso all on the bench. Only captain Zanetti started alone, and Stankovic also Put on the bench, Muntari and Vieira started at the defensive midfielder position, Gao Xiaodong was the attacking midfielder, Quaresma and Eto'o were the wingers, and Milito played the center forward.

Mourinho's attack on the Argentine gang had an immediate effect. Gao Xiaodong finally got the ball and took on the task of organizing and scheduling.

It's just that AC Milan lost the last warm-up match. This time, AC Milan coach Leonardo made targeted adjustments, strictly restricting Gao Xiaodong, reducing the space for Inter Milan's wingers, and strengthening the press in the middle.

There are only three players in Inter Milan's midfield, Gao Xiaodong is in charge of offense, Vieira is old and has poor running ability, and only Muntari is left in defense, which makes Inter Milan's central defenders Lucio and Ko Erdoba is often exposed to the guns of AC Milan, and the defense is stretched.

The defense was unstable, and Gao Xiaodong was also unable to organize the offense with peace of mind, so he could only return to the defense frequently. Inter Milan played very embarrassingly. In the end, they were tied 0:0 by AC Milan and lost the TIM Cup championship.

The Argentine gang thought that Mourinho would learn the lesson, reuse Cambiasso, Samuel and others like last season, and continue to play the 4312 formation that players are familiar with.

But the Argentine gang didn't know Mourinho well, and they miscalculated the situation in the team. Last season, Mourinho reconciled with the South American gang because he was alone. Now he has Gao Xiaodong and Kua Resma has replaced heavyweight players such as Lucio, Eto'o, Milito, etc. Mourinho has the confidence to clean up the Argentine gang.

In addition, if AC Milan is defeated, maybe Mourinho will be in a better mood, and maybe the Argentine gang can still exist. Now that AC Milan and Juventus are tied, Mourinho, who is furious, finally waved his butcher knife mercilessly .

Immediately after the game, Mourinho announced the purge of marginal players who were not within his tactical system.

On the second day, Cruz was directly sent to Lazio for free, Vieira was loaned to Manchester City, Burdisso was sold to Roma for 3 million in his prime, and Cambiasso was also put on the transfer market , sell at the right price.

At the same time, Genoa midfielder Motta was offered 15 million euros, and he is ready to use him to replace Argentine midfielder Cambiasso.

Seeing that the Argentine gang was about to collapse under Mourinho's attack, Zanetti and Samuel dared not speak for their compatriots under Mourinho's power. At this time, the chairman Moratti couldn't bear it. Mourinho said that the Argentine gang has made great contributions to Inter Milan. Cruz and Burdisso have no place in Inter Milan. It's important not to just sell it like this.

Mourinho refused to accept Moratti's intercession and insisted on selling Cambiasso. He even said that if he did not follow his request, he would not guarantee Inter Milan's record in the Champions League this season.

Just when Mourinho and Moratti were about to fall into a stalemate, Cambiasso injured his meniscus during training, and it took two or three months to heal the injury, and no one bought it if he wanted to sell it. Consider giving up the blow to the Argentine gang.

Although Mourinho no longer helped Argentina, the cleaning of other fringe personnel did not stop. The day before the start of Serie A, Inter Milan sold and loaned defenders Bonucci, Rivas and Borzoni ; Midfielder Pele, Jimenez, striker Obinna and other 8 players, plus Cruz, Burdisso and Vieira previously sold, in just one week, Mourinho cleaned up 11 players.

Mourinho's iron fist and ruthlessness shocked the entire Italian football world, calling Mourinho a cold-blooded animal. Thinking that Mourinho is creating white terror, the team reporter Marchio also implicitly stated that Mourinho's approach is to make or break. If Mourinho can't win the Champions League for Inter Milan this season, he will not win the Champions League in the future. It is difficult to gain a foothold in Inter Milan and Italian football.
