Three Hundred and Fortieth Eight Mancini Lost Again!

On the afternoon of March 22, at the Meazza Stadium in Milan.

Mancini, wearing a neat suit, stood quietly in front of the coach's bench of the home team, watching the court intently with a solemn expression.

At this time, Inter Milan's home game against Juventus has not yet started.

Juventus under the coach of Ranieri still adopts a four-four-two formation, but the starting lineup has been adjusted.

Goalkeeper: Buffon.

Defensive line: Molinaro, Chiellini, Lerotalie and Grigera.

Midfield: Nedved, Mohamed Sissoko, Camoranesi and Salihamidzic.

Forwards: Del Piero and Trezeguet.

Ranieri made a lot of adjustments to tactics tonight.

Although the game has not yet started, it can be seen from the positions of the Juventus players.

First came Camoranesi, a player on the right who was placed centrally by Tinker, something that hadn't been done before.

Another variation is Piero.

Everyone knows that Piero's most threatening area is the left side of the penalty area, known as the Piero area.

In other words, the most active position of Prince Zebra should be on the left side of Trezeguet.

In fact, this has always been the arrangement in the past.

But tonight, his position is to stand on the right side of Trezeguet.

This is surprising.

Mancini looked very serious, he was a little puzzled, is it really so? Or is it suspicious?

It wasn't just Ranieri who made adjustments, Mancini also released surprise soldiers.

Inter Milan adopted a four-three-one-two formation, which is the most commonly used tactic of the Nerazzurri in the Champions League, and it has always been safe.

But tonight, Mancini tried another variation.

Goalkeeper: Cesar.

Defense: Maxwell, Materazzi, Burdisso and Maicon.

Midfield: Chivu, Stankovic and Zanetti behind, Luis Gimenez in front.

Forwards: Kroos and Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

There are also two obvious changes.

One is that Stankovic was placed in the middle of the three defensive midfielders to give full play to his passing and organizational abilities.

The other is to let the Chilean midfielder Jimenez start.

Although Jimenez is only 23 years old, he has been in Serie A for six years. He first played in Serie B for four years, performed very well, and entered the Chilean national team, which also attracted the attention of many wealthy teams.

Manchester United, Arsenal, Atletico Madrid, Lazio, Arsenal...

But they all failed because the asking price was too high, and then they were loaned to Florence and Lazio one after another.

Like all players, he can only act as a substitute during the loan period, and his performance is quite satisfactory.

Both Fiorentina and Lazio also wanted to sign him, but because the price was not agreed upon, Inter Milan loaned him out in the summer of 2007.

So far this season, he has played more than 20 games. In December, he started three consecutive rounds and contributed a very good performance. He handed over a stunning report card of two shots and one pass. The end of November ushered in a key member of the state recovery.

In all the games Jimenez has played, whether as a starter or as a substitute, Inter have lost only one game, a home game against Liverpool, in which he played six minutes.

In all other games, Inter Milan won!

Recently, Inter Milan's lack of creativity has been criticized, especially under the instigation of that damn Chinese kid, the outside world always criticized Inter Milan for not being creative.

Mancini will prove himself with a victory at San Siro tonight.

He wants to slap everyone in the face, smash it!

...

With the whistle of the referee Farina, the game officially began.

Inter Milan took the lead in the attack and created a chance in just nine seconds. Qi Wu received Maicon's cross from the right in front of the goal and headed in from close range, just wide.

Subsequently, Inter Milan continued to create opportunities, Stankovic overtook a pass, and Ibrahimovic succeeded in countering offside.

Single-handedly thrown by Buffon.

Ranieri also played very boldly tonight, and did not take strict precautions, but took the initiative to attack.

The two sides came and went, and the game was very exciting.

From the tenth minute, the game entered the rhythm of Jimenez.

The Chilean midfielder frequently created opportunities and was violated by players such as Grigera and Sissoko.

In the 18th minute, Jimenez took a free kick. Burdisso hit a pad from behind. Stankovic headed the goal and hit the crossbar.

Juventus quickly retaliated.

...

As the game unfolded one after another, the tactics of the two teams gradually revealed their outlines.

Mancini used 4312, allowing Stankovic to play as a midfielder and Gimenez to play as a midfielder. The purpose is actually very clear, which is to strengthen the midfielder's creativity and passing ability.

But there are also many interesting points in the details, that is, the two midfielders Qi Wu and Zanetti are actively inserting, and even actively forming oppression in the frontcourt.

Jimenez said he was an attacking midfielder, but in fact, he retreated more to get the ball and organize, which is his specialty.

The two forwards in front respectively pulled the Juventus defenders to both sides, thereby creating a dangerous situation in the middle of the opponent's penalty area.

Juventus are also very interesting.

Ranieri let Camoranesi play as a midfielder, also wanting to strengthen the passing and dribbling ability in the midfield.

Sissoko's main defense, Camoranesi is very versatile, let go to attack and dribble forward.

On the left, after Del Piero was switched to Trezeguet's right, Nedved could dominate the entire left, while Molinaro, the left back, also actively plugged in to form a left attack.

This also frequently played a threat in the first half.

The head coaches of the two teams gave very detailed changes and adjustments, which made the game quite exciting.

Unfortunately, both teams failed to create effective scoring opportunities in the first half. Gu Chai

Among them, the header created by Inter Milan's set-piece hit the crossbar, which was the most threatening.

After changing sides to fight again in the second half, Juventus made a decisive attack.

In the forty-ninth minute, Molinaro made a long pass with his left foot from the left. Grigera stopped the ball in the chest at the front of the penalty area and gave it to Camoranesi, who rushed into the small penalty area and shot a low shot. , Breaking Cesar's goal.

One to zero!

Three minutes later, Jimenez spun in from a corner and threatened Buffon's goal directly, forcing the Juventus goalkeeper to lift the ball over the bar.

Soon, Mancini replaced Jimenez with Suazo, trying to strengthen the offensive.

However, he immediately regretted it.

...

After Mancini saw Ibrahimovic unloading the ball in mid-air, he knocked back with his heel, Suazo volleyed from the front of the penalty area, and after turning into an anti-aircraft gun, he couldn't slap himself hard.

He knows he made a mistake!

It was too hasty just now.

Anxiety can easily lead to chaos.

At that time, his idea was that the three midfielders would not move, Stankovic would continue to organize and pass the ball, and the front would adopt a three-forward style of play.

But now he found a problem.

Jimenez was still there just now, and the Chilean was very active, so he didn't notice that the two players, Chivu and Zanetti, were exhausted.

Both Cruise and Ibrahimovic in front performed poorly, and their fighting spirit was not very strong, especially Cruise.

In addition to pulling, neither Cruys nor Ibrahimovic performed very well.

Even when the team is behind zero to one.

As a result, he replaced Jimenez!

This is tantamount to removing his most threatening player on the court and breaking his own arm.

Just when Mancini was regretting, Camoranesi dribbled the ball forward and sent a direct pass from the ribs. Del Piero made a clever rub at the front of the penalty area, and Trezeguet volleyed at close range from behind. Shot and sent the ball into Inter Milan's goal again.

Two to zero!

...

"What the hell!"

Mancini almost wished he could screw his head off.

Qiwu and Zanetti consumed a lot in the first half, and after 60 minutes, their physical fitness began to be overwhelmed.

His team is not a well-crafted Naples that can run at full strength for 90 minutes.

They only have 60 minutes to go!

His tactics look beautiful, but in fact, he lacks physical support.

More importantly, he didn't notice this just now, and was so stupid that he replaced the most threatening Jimenez.

It's all right now, the players on the court lack fighting spirit, the midfielder's physical fitness is not good, and they can't stand it anymore.

"Substitution!" Mancini shouted unwillingly.

...

In the 65th minute, Maney switched over the sluggish Cruise.

Inter Milan has returned to its best four-three-one-two formation. Qiwu, Maniche and Zanetti play three midfielders, Stankovic plays midfielder, Suazo and Ibrahimovic play forwards .

Going around and around, Inter Milan is back.

Returning to the tactics he was most familiar with, Inter Milan also began to show its strength gradually.

Juventus continued to play steadily.

Eighty minutes into the match, Mancini replaced the exhausted Qi Wu with the teenager Balotelli.

As soon as the young player came on the field, he immediately sent a pass from the right side. After passing two players in a row, Maicon entered the penalty area and assisted Maniche with a close-range push to score the goal, rewriting the score to 1-2.

After that, Inter Milan continued to attack Juventus.

In stoppage time, Maniche even once again cooperated with Stankovic's two-for-one, stabbing in front of the goal and hitting the post.

But the referee Farina finally blew the ruthless whistle.

There were deafening boos and abuse from the fans throughout the Meazza Stadium.

Mancini lost again!

In the most crucial match, the championship match, he lost again!

Before losing to Naples 0-5, he could still be said to be away, but today, he was at home, losing 1-2 to Juventus.

What else is there to say?

The Inter Milan coach stood in front of the home team's coaching bench, bearing the anger from all directions.

He could imagine that after the game, the media throughout Italy would attack him again.

Under the pressure of Gao Shen and Naples, he made an unforgivable mistake!

In the advanced psychological tactics, his players are gradually losing confidence and fighting spirit, but the pressure is increasing exponentially.

Playing the game earlier than Naples is pressure, playing later than Naples is still pressure!

"That damn bastard!"

Mancini cursed bitterly.

Behind him, Mikhailovich and others knew that he was scolding Gao Shen.

Because of those profound words, the impact and impact on Inter Milan was too great.

"Our greatest hope now is that Regina can attack Naples at home."

The proud Mancini had to pin his hopes on a relegation team.

This is somewhat ironic.
