Four Hundred and Eighty Third Inter Milan, Where Is Your Italian Cannon?

On the evening of April 18th, the thirty-second round of Serie A.

Inter Milan challenged Juventus away.

The game was very intense, just ten seconds into the opening, Nedved used a long shot, threatening Inter Milan's goal.

In the ninth minute, Balotte took advantage of a wonderful stop, cut inside and dunked two defenders. He shot low with his left foot in front of the goal. After the ball passed Buffon's hands, he was returned to the defense in time in front of the goal. Portugal midfielder Thiago made a clearance.

Afterwards, Juventus fought back, Del Piero kicked a free kick, and hit the goal with an unguarded isolation volley, but it went slightly wide and missed an excellent scoring opportunity.

In the first half, there was a zero-to-zero handshake, but in the 64th minute of the second half, when Inter Milan counterattacked quickly, Ibrahimovic sent a through ball, Muntari sent a wonderful pass, and Balotelli crossed the grid. Liguera, with a right-footed push from ten meters in front of the goal, opened the scoring for Inter Milan.

Juventus immediately launched a fierce attack. Unfortunately, in the 76th minute, when Balotelli took the ball, he was fouled by Thiago. The Portuguese midfielder was sent off with a red card.

Just when everyone thought that Juventus was basically sentenced to death, the game entered stoppage time. Giovinco took a corner kick, and it was Grigera's header from the front point. S scored a goal.

One to one, the two sides finally shook hands and made peace.

Mourinho was furious after the game, and felt unbelievable that the team's three points turned into one point at the last moment.

"If we keep playing like this, then I can only congratulate Napoli!"

The implication is that Inter Milan performed too badly.

It was so bad that he felt that such a performance was not worthy of the championship at all, and he could not grab Naples.

However, Mourinho was not sad for too long, and soon grinned and laughed loudly.

Because of another game that was played at the same time, Naples played an away game against Cagliari with a full substitute lineup. As a result, the two sides shook hands 0-0 in the 90 minutes of the game.

In this way, Inter Milan's draw does not seem to be too bad.

There is still a gap of five points, and there are still six rounds left in the league.

It seems that Inter Milan still has a chance.

The key is that in the thirty-third round, Inter Milan challenged Naples away.

If you can get it,

Successfully narrowing the gap, the outcome is hard to say.

…………

…………

In the middle of the week, the second leg of the Coppa Italia semi-final.

After defeating Lazio 3-1 in the first round away, Naples returned to the home court, and Gao Shen continued to play with a full substitute lineup, allowing the main force to focus on Inter Milan on the weekend and Manchester United next Wednesday.

Within four days, the two focus games will be related to the two fronts of Serie A and the Champions League. This is definitely a huge test for Naples. The advanced team must win these two key games in order to continue to compete in the two Go down the line.

Especially in the Champions League against Manchester United, the schedule is unfavorable. If Manchester United cannot be won at home, the situation will be very passive at Old Trafford.

A Mourinho is already difficult enough in itself, coupled with an even more cunning Ferguson, he has to face two of the world's top coaches at the same time, and Gao Shen is really under great pressure.

During the preparation period, Gao Shen spent every day in the tactical library, reviewing the entire development process and tactical evolution of Ferguson and Manchester United over the years. In addition to Ferguson, he also studied Queiroz by the way.

Since Queiroz became Ferguson's assistant, Manchester United has unswervingly embarked on the route of continental reform. Ferguson is responsible for controlling the overall situation, all training, specific personnel tactical arrangements, and game preparations. Ross is in charge.

This Manchester United is Ferguson's Manchester United, but there is also a deep shadow of Queiroz in it.

There is such a sentence in Ferguson's book: the most critical influence Queiroz brought was training and pre-match preparations. The new ideas he brought to the club are very good. They are not just so-called 'continental ideas'.

It is precisely because of his excellent work at Manchester United that Queiroz was selected by Real Madrid to become the head coach of the Galacticos. After getting out of class in Real Madrid, Ferguson immediately invited him back to Manchester United. Now, he went to the Portuguese national team coach.

From beginning to end, Gao Shen reviewed the development and evolution of Manchester United in recent years, in order to find a more effective way to restrain Ferguson.

...

Since the team played with a full bench lineup, Gao Shen even gave Verratti and Insigne more than half an hour of substitute playing time, so Naples finally lost to Lazio 1-2 at home.

But with a total score of four to three, Naples successfully advanced to the final of the Coppa Italia.

And at the Meazza Stadium in Milan.

Due to Inter Milan's unexpected 0-3 away loss to Sampdoria in the first leg, Mourinho's team fell into a very passive embarrassing situation.

In the second round at home, although Mourinho launched a fierce attack, he was unable to reverse the defeat after all. He beat Sampdoria 1-0, with a total score of 1-3, and was eliminated by Sampdoria.

In the end, Naples and Sampdoria joined forces in the Coppa Italia final.

This also blocked Mourinho's last retreat.

After defeating Sampdoria 1-0 but being eliminated, the Portuguese madman said that Inter Milan now has only one front left, and that is Serie A.

"We have no choice but to beat Naples away in the thirty-third round!"

…………

…………

On the evening of April 25th, St. Paul Stadium.

In the thirty-third round of Serie A, Naples sits at home and faces Inter Milan.

Mourinho still adopts the 4-3-1-2 three-back tactic that he has used recently. It is obvious that he has lingering fears about Naples' ability to fight at home, especially the offense trained by Gao Shen.

Goalkeeper: Cesar.

Defense: Chivu, Samuel, Lucio and Maicon.

Midfield: Muntari, Stankovic, Cambiasso, Moutinho ahead.

Forwards: Ibrahimovic and Balotelli.

This is already the strongest attacking lineup that Mourinho can arrange.

Mourinho's determination to win Naples away is also obvious.

Gao Shen fought with four, three, three.

Goalkeeper: Handanovic.

Defense: Vargas, David Luiz, Bonucci and Lichtsteiner.

Midfield: Thiago Motta drags deep, Biglia and Rakitic center.

Forwards: Sanchez, Pellet and Di Maria.

Mourinho was a little surprised by the formation of Gao Shen, because he did not expect that Gao Shen would face Inter Milan with the full main lineup of the Champions League when he will face Manchester United next Wednesday.

But he also vaguely guessed something, and immediately asked the whole team not to have any scruples, and launched a fierce attack on Naples from the beginning of the game.

...

The game seemed to be as Mourinho expected.

From the very beginning, Naples, who played at home, did not launch a fierce attack on Inter Milan at the beginning of the game to seize the opportunity as in the past, but adopted a steady defense strategy uncharacteristically.

Almost from the beginning, Inter Milan pressed hard.

In the second minute, Inter Milan got a free kick in the frontcourt. Lucio headed the goal from close range, but Handanovic pushed it out. The subsequent corner kick also created a threat again.

After that, Ibrahimovic and Balotelli got consecutive shots.

The most threatening attack occurred in the 17th minute. Moutinho sent a wonderful pass in the penalty area. Ibrahimovic leaned his body against Bonucci and hit the goal from close range.

As a result, the Swedish center overshot a shot that was close at hand.

Naples didn't hit the first shot of the game until the 21st minute.

At this time, more than 50,000 Naples fans in the audience were very puzzled, what is going on?

...

"What does he want to do?" Boas was confused.

Not only him, Baresi, Faria and others couldn't understand it.

Only Mourinho, he knows what Gao Shen is thinking.

"Training! Trial formation!"

"What?" Everyone was dumbfounded.

This is the focus of the Serie A championship. Gao Shen uses this kind of game to train his troops?

"I guess he wants to try how much offensive pressure his center can withstand." Mourinho said.

Everyone felt a little unbelievable, because this was indeed a bit too bold.

"He is still very confident in his team's defense, but he probably doesn't have much confidence in whether he can defend against Manchester United, so he wanted to give it a try, so he let us attack!"

When he said this, Mourinho laughed, "If I don't beat him hard, I will be sorry to him!"

Could it be that there is such an opportunity to be upright, upright, and give Gao Shen a good beating, how could Mourinho let it go?

Besides, Gao Shen really beat Gao Shen to the ground, maybe Gao Shen would thank him.

Not only get the precious three points, but also get deep gratitude, how great!

Looking at the assistants around him again, Mourinho smiled again, "Don't forget, Naples leads by five points, even if they lose these three points, they still have two points, not to mention, so far, we Haven't scored yet."

Speaking of this, Mourinho suddenly felt that he couldn't hold his face anymore, and immediately walked to the sidelines, signaling the players to press on again and attack more vigorously.

He almost yelled a foul word.

Ma Dan, where is your Italian cannon?

Give me a bang! Hit me! Cut it up for me!

Throughout the first half, Inter Milan kept attacking Naples wave after wave.

But I have to say that Naples really defended calmly, and the overall defensive level is still very high.

No matter how Inter Milan attacked or penetrated, they hardly created too good opportunities.

The only good chance was wasted by Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

The rest of the time, there is basically no threat.

This also made Mourinho shake his head angrily on the sidelines.

Here's your chance!

The opponents let you attack and still can't score, blame me!

It wasn't until the end of the first half that Gao Shen let out a heavy breath.

"The defense did well in the first half, there were some small problems, but the performance was good, and we attacked in the second half!"
