Three Hundred and Fifty-Six Into Meazza?

"After two years of intensive sculpting, the whole set of tactics has matured."

When the Naples Big Three were meeting, Inter Milan's coaching staff was also intensively studying how to beat Naples in the Coppa Italia final.

This is Mancini's last game in charge of Inter Milan, but also the most important one.

Serie A has been lost, irreparable, Mancini does not want to lose even the Coppa Italia.

Assistant coach Mikhailovich also decided to officially leave Mancini's team after the end of this season. He hopes to get the opportunity to coach alone, and there are indeed teams that are quite interested in him.

After all, he has played football for many years, and he has a very broad network in Italy.

Mikhailovich believes that after Gao Shen coached Naples for two seasons, he has created a very mature tactical system for this team. The players have also been well-crafted, and their physical fitness is very good.

All kinds of factors come together to form a strong recovery after the winter break in Naples.

"It can be said that with this season's performance, Gao Shen has truly entered the top line in Europe."

Mikhailovich's evaluation was recognized by everyone, and even Mancini couldn't help but nod.

He had to admit that he had underestimated and misjudged Gao Shen before.

Now, Gao Shen is already a head coach who can keep pace with him.

But the problem is that he has failed to make a difference in the Champions League for several consecutive seasons, so he has never been able to break through the first line and reach the ranks of the top European coaches, which is the level where Ancelotti is.

Gao Shen's situation is much better than his.

Firstly, Gaoshen is very young, only 27 years old; secondly, Gaoshen represents a new, more advanced, and more scientific tactical play and philosophy; and finally, Gaoshen is very popular now and can take over at any time The giants made a breakthrough in the Champions League.

Of course, Gao Shen himself has already won a Champions League and a La Liga title. Although many people are reluctant to admit it, in fact, these two championships make Gao Shen slightly higher than a first-line coach like Mancini.

At the very least, he is an out-and-out Champions League champion coach!

...

So far, Mancini has played against Gao Shen three times.

The first time was a complete victory, and his tactics were the ones he was most sure of; the second time was a home game, and he was full of confidence before the game, but in the game, he found it was not that simple and almost lost; the third time was The battle of St. Paul was a disastrous defeat.

Some people say that from these three games, we can see the progress of Gao Shen and Naples.

And Mancini felt more helpless.

In the first game, the strength of Inter Milan had an overwhelming advantage, and it can be said that it completely crushed Naples.

But in the second game, this strength advantage weakened, and then Mancini tried to make adjustments.

Everyone knows that when playing Naples, the midfielder is very important.

Even if you can't suppress Naples in the midfield, you must not let the midfield be crushed.

It can be said that it truly interprets the saying "the one who wins the midfielder wins the world".

But previous attempts have failed, so what now?

This is the biggest problem facing Mancini.

...

"I want to play four five one."

As soon as Mancini finished speaking, everyone in the audience showed expressions of disbelief.

Play four five one?

Defensive counterattack?

you sure?

Mikhailovich opened his mouth slightly, wanting to say something, but seeing Mancini's expression, he couldn't say anything.

No one knows Mancini's situation and mood better than him at this moment.

Once upon a time, Mancini was so proud of the emperor, the leader of the new generation of Italy.

At that time, did he ever have Naples in his eyes, was there any depth?

Therefore, even when Naples reached the top of the list, Mancini directly ignored Naples when pointing the country.

Because he believed that Gao Shen and his team could not threaten Inter Milan at all.

But at the San Paolo Stadium, Mancini's team was completely defeated!

A humiliating defeat!

His situation changed, his mood changed.

"We must protect the midfield. Only by defending the midfield can our defense be stable. Otherwise, our current defense can't stop Naples at all. The central defender combination of Burdisso and Qiwu can't hold it. "

Mancini also had a dejected look on his face, looking a little powerless.

That battle not only knocked out Inter Milan's leading position, but also knocked out Mancini's confidence and backbone.

But from another perspective, what Mancini said is true.

Materazzi was injured, Samuel and Cordoba missed this season early, and now there are three central defenders, Rivas is not very reliable, Qiwu and Burdisso are short, facing Cavani With a high center forward like Pellet, this is very problematic.

"If the defense counterattacks, how should the midfield line up?" Mikhailovich asked helplessly.

"Suazo played in front, and his speed plays a big role in the counterattack." Mancini did not answer directly.

Obviously, Mancini still does not want to play Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

Cruz has been suspended for accumulating yellow cards, and Inter Milan has three centers, Suazo, Balotelli and Crespo.

"Five midfielders. I haven't considered the left. Cesar or Solari are fine. Vieira, Stankovic and Zanetti are in the middle, and Balotelli is on the right."

Figo is old and can no longer be entrusted with important tasks.

Balotelli is only seventeen years old, but he has performed very eye-catching this season, but is he young and reliable?

Judging from the formation of troops, Mancini's intention is obvious, which is to protect the line of defense and focus on counterattacks.

The task of Balotelli, Cesar, and Solari is to drive the ball from the side, but this will also face problems.

Neither of Napoli's wingers is vegetarian. Gu Fu

Needless to say, Vargas has only played for one season, but he is the number one left back in Serie A.

Lichtsteiner also played a higher value in Naples, especially in the second half, after adapting to Serie A and fully integrating into Naples, this right back has both offense and defense and performed very well.

In this case, can Inter Milan's wing configuration hold up?

"We have no choice at all, there is no one on our side!" Mancini felt the sight of Mikhailovich and others, and vented helplessly, even a little angrily.

In fact, everyone knows that Mancini also has his own difficulties.

Many people are envious of his huge lineup, but they don't see how many veterans Inter Milan has behind the huge lineup? How many players are in their prime?

For example, the center, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Cruz, Suazo, Crespo, looks so extravagant.

But what type of players are these?

They can't provide strong support for the midfielders at all. They can only score goals, and they can't even connect in series.

Fortunately, a Balotelli came out later.

And what about Naples?

Cavani, a defender-type center who can chase back from the opponent's penalty area to his own penalty area, and fight with the opponent.

Some people may ask, why Cavani can still win the Serie A scorer?

Because Naples created a lot of opportunities.

As long as enough opportunities are created, no matter how bad a center is, he can become the king of shooters.

And Pellet, anyone with a discerning eye can see how obvious his tactical role is.

The question is, who among Inter Milan's centers can play the role of Cavani or Pellet?

Ibrahimovic?

Yes, he can, but this master is not happy!

"Right now, Balotelli is almost the only one of our players who has the ability to drive the ball, isn't he?"

Mancini's rhetorical question left everyone speechless.

is not that right?

Who else but Balotelli?

Figo?

There is another way, which is to push Maicon forward, but the question is, after Maicon goes up, who will the right back be handed over to?

You know, Naples' left wingers have always been stubborn.

Gervinho last season, Di Maria, Callejon, and even Mertens this season, aren't they all ruthless players in this position?

Everyone has to admit that there is really no one in Inter Milan, and Mancini is really at the end of his rope.

In fact, Inter Milan has played so far this season, only the people inside Inter Milan know that a coaching change has long been inevitable.

Because Mancini has no way or idea to play with the current Inter Milan and this lineup.

He didn't even know what the team should do next.

signings?

Who to bring in?

What kind of play to take?

Do you have any ideas that can improve the team's combat effectiveness?

All of these, he has none.

Inter Milan's personnel dilemma is certainly the responsibility of the management, but why is Mancini free from problems?

Just like Gao Shen, he can equip different types of players in multiple positions, and he can give different responses to different opponents.

This is the real head coach!

And Mancini's most frustrating thing is also because of this.

He found that he was defeated not only on the court, but also off the court, in every aspect!

Completely defeated!

This is what made him feel most discouraged and depressed.

So, he was beaten to the point where he even wanted to defend and counterattack in the Coppa Italia final.

Because he really couldn't help it.

A team, in its current situation, should have changed coaches a long time ago.

Even, it should have been changed when it was zero to five, instead of waiting until now, all the problems and all the contradictions came up, the scene was deadlocked, and everyone was helpless, as if it had become a deadlock.

In this final, there is actually no need to play at all.

Now you know the result!

Unless the sophisticated Naples committed suicide and made a fatal mistake, otherwise, I really can't think of any reason why Naples would lose this final.

This is also the reason why the outside world is all bad-mouthing Inter Milan.

In fact, Inter Milan's management did not have much hope for this game. Moratti even said before that Mancini used youth team players to play, and he thought it was acceptable.

In fact, it is telling everyone that Inter Milan has no hope.

Even before the match was played, Gao Shen had already won!

It is even heard that Inter Milan intends to contact Gao Shen after the Coppa Italia final and invite him to join Meazza.

It might be a good thing if we really want to talk about it.

After all, a team like Naples is not very competitive in the Champions League.
