Three Hundred and Seventy Fifth Battle of Champions

"Is he showing weakness?"

When Mourinho received the news from Naples, he felt a little puzzled.

No matter how you look at it, Gao Shen looks very unassuming.

But Gao Shen doesn't look like a person who shows weakness in advance before the game is played.

"I seriously doubt that he must be uneasy and kind." Boas shook his head.

He couldn't believe a single letter of Gao Shen's words.

Because, in the past, all those who believed in the profound lost miserably in the end.

Mourinho took it very seriously. Gao Shen was not a good guy at first glance, he looked treacherous and cunning. If he was a player, Mourinho would not want to kill him.

"I think he blocked almost everything you might say." Baresi said with a wry smile.

Mourinho was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the advanced answers and conversations at the post-match press conference in his hands, and he immediately smiled wryly, "Fuck, he really finished everything I wanted to say. "

What is this tactic called?

Finish what others have said, leaving others speechless.

Mourinho originally planned to try to make a fuss about the defending champion and the strength of both sides, bring the emotions of the players around, boost the morale of the team, and even do something for Naples.

But now?

Gao Shen took the initiative to say everything.

Defending champion?

There is nothing to say about it. It happened last season. This season has no advantage, and even adds pressure.

Listen, is this what people say?

Looking for a movie before masturbation is like a dog, but deleting a movie after masturbation is ugly.

Nima, don't even think about it, what it looked like when I was struggling for a championship.

However, don't say it, Mourinho is really in trouble now.

What is he best at?

It is to set up a target for yourself in front, and call on your players: Go for me! Hit it to death!

But the problem is that what Gao Shen is doing now is tantamount to standing there and telling Inter Milan: Hurry up, we have no targets here! It's okay to hit me, just don't hit me in the face.

Will Inter Milan make it?

This is a good question.

"You say, what should I say now?" Mourinho was a little embarrassed.

If you want him to praise the profoundness and Naples, sorry, the concubine can't do it.

Showing weakness before the game has never been his Mourinho style.

What's more, now Inter Milan must not show weakness.

Boas, Faria, Baresi and others all looked at each other in blank dismay, and really didn't know what to say.

Now Gao Shen seems to have built himself into a piece of iron, and it is difficult for Inter Milan.

In particular, the public opinion before the game must be considered.

…………

…………

The entire Italian media was confused.

Before the Italian Super Cup, Naples went north to challenge Inter Milan, Gao Shen encountered Mourinho, and it was all traffic.

Surprisingly, there was no spark.

Gao Shen took the initiative to show weakness at the press conference before the game, saying that the defending champion is nothing special, Inter Milan is still the most powerful team in Italian and even European football, and Mourinho is the best head coach in Europe.

Listen, does this sound like you're judging your opponent?

It's almost like bragging about your idol.

What about Mourinho?

At the pre-match press conference, he never said anything about Shen and Naples. Even if the reporter asked again and again, he only made a few comments, which were dry and not mellow at all.

Mourinho is still emphasizing Inter Milan itself. He said that if Inter Milan wants to win at home, they need to show their best performance.

"This battle at Meazza is my first official game in charge of Inter Milan, our first official game of the new season, and even the Italian Super Cup championship."

"We will never let the trophy leave San Siro!"

The final words, which are loud and loud, represent the determination of Mourinho and Inter Milan.

But that's all.

The Italian media felt very disappointed.

The Mars they were expecting to hit the earth did not appear. Both Gao Shen and Mourinho chose to deal with it in a low-key manner.

According to the analysis of Gazzetta dello Sport, this is actually helpless.

Eight of Naples' main players have gone to the Olympics, which has a great impact on the team. Even the two main central defenders are not there. How does Naples play?

"Gao Shen chose to keep a low profile on the Northern Expedition, which proves that he does not have absolute confidence and certainty in this game."

"According to the information obtained by the reporter, Naples will change into a four-three-three formation in this game and adopt an offensive style of play. However, before the game, Gao Shen deliberately chose to show weakness. This is obviously to paralyze the opponent."

Gazzetta dello Sport also analyzed Inter Milan and believed that Mourinho's team was also having a hard time.

The four central defenders have not recovered from their injuries last season, which has led to a shortage of Inter Milan's central defenders.

"Judging from the warm-up situation before the game, Cambiasso is likely to appear in the central defender's position, partnering with Burdisso, but what is worrying is that they will face the top scorer in Serie A last season. Varney."

"It is reported that after Zidane joined the high-level coaching staff, he was responsible for shooting the players. After the daily training sessions, Zidane would keep several players in the team to teach shooting skills and arbitrary training. ball skills."

"In this game, Cavani will be the biggest challenge for Inter Milan's defense."

Sacchi predicted the game in his column.

He believes that there are huge hidden dangers in the defense of the two teams in this game, and the situation in Naples will be more serious, because apart from the absence of the two main central defenders, the midfielder Biglia is also absent.

"He was one of the best players in Naples last season, and he can be called the pinnacle of the midfield."

Di Maria on the left side of the frontcourt is also absent. "This is bound to affect Naples' left attack. Whether it is Callejon or Mertens, there is still a big gap with Di Maria."

Sacchi said that Gao Shen's low-key before the game is probably also considering that Naples is in a seriously unfavorable situation.

"Perhaps, in this Italian Super Cup, Naples will adopt more pragmatic tactics."

…………

…………

On the first day of taking office at Inter Milan, Mourinho revealed in an interview with media reporters that he would adopt a four-three-three tactical formation at Inter Milan, because he swept the Premier League with this style of play at Chelsea.

Since Gao Shen coached Naples, the outdated Serie A tactics have caused huge controversy in Italy.

And this kind of discussion, after Gao Shen led Naples and won the double crown last season, basically disappeared.

The media have also begun to report that in Italy, there are already so many teams, unknowingly, subtly following Gao Shen's pace, trying this more advanced tactical concept and thinking.

Of course, more people are still watching and hesitating.

Mancini has always insisted on 442 in Inter Milan, which is also regarded by countless people as the reason why he cannot keep up with the times and has not been able to achieve good results in the Champions League.

Therefore, Mourinho announced as soon as he took office that he would adopt a four-three-three formation.

He wants to take this opportunity to tell everyone that a new era for Inter Milan is here!

Before the season, Inter Milan's various transfer operations also seemed to indicate this.

Roma winger Mancini Jr. and Porto winger Quaresma, these two will cost Inter Milan tens of millions of euros. Their joining can greatly enhance Inter Milan's wing attack.

According to the Italian media, this is a shotgun for a cannon.

It used to be players like Cesar, Soria and Figo, now?

Mancini Jr. and Quaresma are both well-known players in Europe.

What?

Quaresma is a parallel import?

People who say this must not pay attention to the Portuguese Super League.

He just encountered a Waterloo in Barcelona, ​​​​and he was still very young at the time, so it is normal for him not to adapt to Barcelona.

But after returning to the Portuguese Super League, Quaresma immediately came back to life, and his performance was outstanding.

Could this be a parallel import?

Whether it is Rome or Naples, it has been proved time and again that in Serie A, an excellent wing attack is a must.

Inter Milan's offense was unfavorable last season. In fact, it has a lot to do with the weakness on the wing, especially when Figo, Solari and Cesar all performed poorly. No more threats.

But now it is different. The arrival of Mancini and Quaresma has greatly improved Inter Milan's wing firepower.

On the left is Maxwell's partner Mancini Jr., and on the right is Maicon's partner Quaresma. It's exciting to think about it!

Especially there is an old and vigorous Figo in the team.

Didn't Quaresma have a nickname back then, called Figo II?

Well now, Figo I personally trained Figo II.

This picture is so beautiful!

...

Before the game started, Mourinho took the initiative to shatter the beautiful illusions of many people.

Neither of the two generations of "Figo" appeared in the starting lineup.

Inter Milan's starting lineup feels a little strange, because he has two centre-forwards.

Ibrahimovic and Balotelli.

Not to say?

Want to play four three three?

How could it be two centers?

Goalkeeper: Cesar.

Defense: Maxwell, Burdisso, Cambiasso and Maicon.

Midfielders: Stankovic, Muntari and Zanetti.

Forwards: Mancini, Ibrahimovic and Balotelli.

This should be Inter Milan's starting lineup.

Both Figo and Quaresma were absent from the starting lineup, and Quaresma didn't even make the squad.

This has to make people feel very puzzled.

Is it because Quaresma has just arrived and Mourinho doesn't want to use him in this crucial game?

Or because of other reasons?

And with Balotelli in the starting lineup, he can actually play four-four-two.

In this way, the midfield became a combination of Mancini Jr., Stankovic, Muntari and Zanetti.

This also makes perfect sense.

In the end what tactical formation the team adopts and where the players appear, I am afraid that we will have to wait until the game to find out.

But Mourinho's formation is still very surprising.

No one, including Gao Shen, expected him to be arranged like this.
