Three Hundred and Forty-Seven, Gao Shen Is Right!
Mancini became very anxious!
This is the twenty-ninth round of Serie A in the middle of the week, Inter Milan's away game against Genoa, and everyone has seen it from the beginning.
At that time, in an attack by the home team, midfielder Julic passed the ball into the penalty area, forward Sculli knocked back, Argentine forward Figueroa stopped the ball and turned around, volleyed slightly wide of the far post.
This made Mancini on the sidelines furious and kept reprimanding the players.
"The coach of Inter Milan looked very irritable, and the fourth official on the sidelines had to remind him to pay attention to controlling his emotions."
"This is mainly because, in another Serie A focus match this afternoon, Naples sat at home and defeated Fiorentina 2-0. The whole game played smoothly and without any danger."
"This puts Inter Milan in a very unfavorable situation. They must win Genoa before they can continue to catch up with Naples."
"But after the start of the game, Inter Milan still played in a hurry."
Inter Milan got two good chances in a row.
Once, Suazo made a low pass, but Ibrahimovic did not follow up in time and was destroyed by the opponent's goalkeeper.
Another time, Suazo broke through the middle to score the ball, and Ibrahimovic's long shot was high and wide.
The impatience of the Swedish center is evident.
And this kind of emotion is obviously not only for the Swedish high tower alone, but for the entire Inter Milan team.
In the 16th minute, Genoa played a quick counterattack. After Juric's shot was blocked by Cesar, former AC Milan striker Borriello used a wonderful upside-down golden hook to open the scoring for Genoa.
This goal completely ignited the explosive kegs on the court.
Then the two sides moved more and more.
The referee Rocky failed to control the situation very well, which eventually caused both sides to lose control.
In the twenty-eighth minute, Cambiasso sent a direct pass and instigated a counterattack. Suazo knew how to counter-offside. After receiving the ball, he formed a single goal and equalized the score for Inter Milan.
But just two minutes later, Portuguese midfielder Pele elbowed his opponent and got a yellow card.
Genoa launched a crazy counterattack against Inter Milan, creating huge pressure on the team's defense.
Four minutes after the first yellow card, Portuguese midfielder Pelé made too much action when defending Genoa's outstanding Julich. He was shown a second yellow card by the referee and sent off with a red card.
This made Mancini even more angry and cursed on the sidelines, and was also shown a yellow card.
...
After changing sides to fight again in the second half, Genoa replaced another striker and continued to strengthen their offense.
Relying on the numerical advantage, the home team launched a siege to Inter Milan.
Mancini made several substitutions, trying to stabilize the situation, but Inter Milan's players became more and more impatient, and they were quite passive on the scene, so they had to take a defensive position.
Even in the end, Mancini bravely replaced Cruise, wanting to fight Genoa with his life.
But still to no avail.
In the end, Inter Milan drew away with Genoa 1-1.
...
After the game, Mancini publicly bombarded the referee Rocky at the press conference, thinking that this was a referee who had a problem with Inter Milan, and listed Rocky's grievances with Inter Milan.
For example, in the previous game against Sampdoria, Materazzi and Vieira received yellow cards for their first foul.
"Everyone can see that his law enforcement standards for us are different from other teams!"
Mancini's subtext is obvious, Inter Milan suffered.
Interestingly, before the end of the Genoa game, some Genoa fans even put up a banner.
"League champion? Game over!"
This is to mock Inter Milan, thinking that they have lost the league title.
Naples won, Inter Milan tied, and Naples officially leads the Serie A standings with a two-point advantage.
Mancini refuted such claims in his post-match press conference.
"The championship game is over?" Mancini sneered,
"This is the most ignorant joke I have ever heard. There are still nine rounds left in the league. We are only two points behind for the time being. There is still a chance for everything."
Mancini said that now for Inter Milan, the most important thing is to regain confidence, stabilize the emotions of the players, train and prepare quietly.
"I believe that we can win all the games, and Naples will make mistakes, we will quickly shorten the gap, and then, overtake!" Mancini said loudly.
Inter Milan does have such strength.
...
After the game, Sky TV specially recorded a Serie A program, and commentators said during the game that Mancini's remarks were simply untenable.
"Is this a red card thing?"
"No, obviously not!"
"It was a fantastic, star-studded Inter team, but in Genoa, like an amateur team from the country, defending as hard as they could."
"The red card happened in the 40th minute, but in the whole game, Inter Milan only had four shots, one shot on target, and scored one goal, while Genoa had 21 shots, six shots on target, and the ball possession rate Up to sixty-seven percent."
"I believe that reasonable people can read the truth from this data."
In addition to Sky TV, many Italian media have also attacked.
Since the linkage relationship between running distance, ball possession rate and pass success rate was listed in depth last time, the Italian media has also begun to pay attention to these three data, especially when analyzing games. valley
In this game, Inter Milan's pass success rate was only 69.7%.
A little bit less than 70%.
Thirty-three percent possession.
What data is this?
The level of the Serie A relegation team!
Mancini's lineup for this game is not weak. Zanetti, Cambiasso and Pele, of which Pele is a rookie midfielder from Portugal, has high hopes from many people.
In front are Solari, Suazo and Ibrahimovic.
No matter how you look at it, it shouldn't kick out such bad data.
The red card definitely has an impact, but is it such a big impact?
"As it turns out, before the red card happened, Inter Milan was already at a comprehensive disadvantage. Suazo's goal was the only time they threatened Genoa's goal in the first half. What else does that mean?"
The media obviously does not agree with Mancini's words, thinking that this is more of a sophistry.
The real fact is that under Mancini, Inter Milan played without discipline, without creativity and aggression.
"Gao Shen is not wrong at all, this Inter Milan team is lost!"
In the face of criticism from the outside world, Inter Milan officials did not come forward to mediate.
Gazzetta dello Sport revealed that the management of Inter Milan was very disappointed with the draw and has already begun to prepare for Mancini's after-school affairs.
At the same time, it was revealed that Mancini clashed with Zlatan Ibrahimovic again in training.
Because the latter's goal was not only surpassed by Borriello, but also by Naples center Cavani.
"The Swedish center thinks it's all about Mancini!"
For this reason, on the day before the game against Juventus, Mancini refused to participate in the pre-match press conference, which was attended by assistant coach Mihajlovic instead.
Although the Inter Milan official did not give a clear statement, the media revealed that this is because the Inter Milan management is worried that Mancini, who is furious and anxious, will say more inappropriate words in front of the media, causing trouble for himself and the team. more trouble.
...
"Then it's up to Ranieri!"
After watching the report of Inter Milan's pre-match press conference, Gao Shen felt light all over.
Mancini did not make a press conference, which is the best proof in itself.
The more it is at this time, the more often it is necessary to give to the outside world, to give the players confidence and confidence, and to stabilize.
But Mancini himself seemed a little out of control.
"It's understandable. He is such an arrogant and arrogant person. He didn't pay attention to us before. The five-to-zero battle completely knocked him down. Now you are so directly uncovering his secrets. Scar, how can he bear it?" Carlo smiled wryly.
Now Gao Shen has become more and more proficient at playing psychological warfare.
The timing of this active attack was just right. It not only caused a critical strike to the opponent, but also caused subsequent continuous bleeding damage.
Mancini is suffering and can't say it now, because everything he says is wrong and will be magnified and magnified by the media, but he has to say it.
Just like in today's press conference, he didn't come out to speak and asked his assistant to come out. This in itself was a very blow to the team's confidence. Let everyone know that Inter Milan is in a downturn and chaos.
The key point is that Gao Shen's previous critical attack was too horrific, and the timing was too good.
Of course, as the saying goes, flies don’t bite seamless eggs. It was because Inter Milan had too many internal problems that Gao Shen seized such an opportunity.
Let me ask, if Mancini is popular in the locker room, is Gao Shen's trick still useful?
In other words, Mancini used this trick against Gao Shen in turn, did it work?
"To be honest, do you think Ranieri can handle it?" Carlo asked with concern.
After two years of cooperation, he is now more and more convinced of Gao Shen, and even more and more used to the role of assistant.
"It's hard to say." Gao Shen shook his head.
This is actually the helplessness of psychological warfare.
The most effective way is of course to attack the opponent directly on the court, and psychological warfare is only an auxiliary means.
"Raieri is still too conservative, and now is the critical moment for the fourth, he may not dare to take risks."
Gao Shen is also very helpless about this, he can't tell Ranieri hand in hand, you have to attack quickly.
"If Inter Milan wins Juventus in turn, the situation will be different." Gao Shen smiled.
In fact, he quite enjoyed the feeling now.
The future is full of unknowns and unpredictability.
"In addition, we should also pay attention to our own locker room. These little monkey cubs are a little too excited these two days and started to dance." Gao Shen reminded Carlo to pay attention.
People are not frivolous and arrogant teenagers.
Young people just like to dance and like waves.
But at this critical moment, this is a big taboo.
Naples has not yet reached the time to really lead, so they must stabilize the situation anyway.
"I'll keep an eye on it," Carlo assured.
