Chapter 348： Mancini lost again!

On the afternoon of March 22, Milan's Meazza Stadium.

Mancini, who was wearing a neat suit, stood quietly in front of the coach's bench, looking at the field intently with a solemn expression.

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

Under Ranieri's coaching, Juventus still adopts the four-four-two formation, but the starting lineup has been adjusted.

Goalkeeper: Buffon.

Defensive line: Molinaro, Chiellini, Lerotale and Grigella.

Midfield: Nedved, Mohammad Sissoko, Kamoranesi and Salihamidzic.

Forwards: Del Piero and Trezeguet.

Ranieri made a lot of adjustments to the tactics tonight.

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

The first is Camoranesi, the right-winger who was placed in the middle by the tinker, which was not available before.

Another change is Piero.

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

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

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

But tonight, his position is on Trezeguet's right.

This is surprising.

Mancini looked very serious, he couldn't figure it out, was it really so? Or is it suspicious?

Not only Ranieri made adjustments, Mancini also released a surprise.

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

But tonight, Mancini tried another variation.

Goalkeeper: Cesar.

Defence: Maxwell, Materazzi, Burdisso and Maicon.

Midfield: Zivu, Stankovic and Zanetti behind, Luis Jimenez in front.

Forwards: Cruz and Ibrahimovic.

There are also two notable changes.

One is that Stankovic has been placed in the middle of the back three to play his passing and organization.

Another 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. He performed very well and entered the Chilean national team, which has also attracted the attention of many giant teams.

Manchester United, Arsenal, Atletico Madrid, Lazio, Arsenal…

But because the asking price was too high, it was not completed, and then they were loaned to Fiorentina and Lazio one after another.

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

Fiorentina and Lazio also wanted to sign him, but because the price could not be reached, Inter Milan loaned him in the summer of 2007.

So far this season, he has played more than 20 times. In December, he made three consecutive starts in December, all of which have contributed very well. He handed over an amazing report card of two shots and one pass. The end of November ushered in a key member of the state's recovery.

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

All the rest of the competition, Inter Milan wins!

Recently, Inter Milan's lack of creativity has been criticized, especially under the instigation of that **** Chinese boy, the outside world has often criticized Inter Milan for lack of creativity.

Mancini will prove himself with a victory tonight at the San Diego Stadium.

He's going 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 launching the attack and created a chance in just nine seconds. Qiu received Maicon's cross from the right in front of the goal and headed the goal from close range, which went wide.

Subsequently, Inter Milan continued to create opportunities, Stankovic picked a pass over the top, Zlatan Ibrahimovic succeeded in anti-offside, and was saved by Buffon single-handedly.

Ranieri also played very boldly tonight, and instead of defending, he 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 Gimenez.

The Chilean midfielder frequently created opportunities and was violated by Grigola, Sissoko and other players successively.

In the 18th minute, it was Jimenez's free kick, Burdisso took a pad, and Stankovic headed the goal and hit the crossbar.

Juventus is quick to fight back.

...

As the game continued to unfold, the tactics of the two teams gradually revealed their outlines.

Mancini used 4312 to let Stankovic play the midfielder and Jimenez to play the attacking midfielder. The purpose is actually very clear, which is to strengthen the creativity and passing ability of the midfield.

But there are also many interesting points in the details, that is, the two midfielders Qiu and Zanetti actively intervene, and even actively form pressure in the frontcourt.

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

The two forwards in front are the defenders of Juventus who are pulling away from the sides respectively, thereby creating a dangerous situation in the middle of the opponent's penalty area.

Juventus is also very interesting.

Ranieri let Camoranesi play the midfielder, and also wanted to strengthen the passing and dribbling ability of the midfielder.

Sissoko is the 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 side, Nedved could dominate the entire left side, while Molinaro, the left back, also actively inserted to form a left attack.

This also played a threat frequently in the first half.

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

But unfortunately, both teams failed to create effective scoring opportunities in the first half. Valley

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

After changing sides and fighting again in the second half, Juventus attacked decisively.

In the forty-ninth minute, Molinaro on the left made a long pass with his left foot. Grigella stopped the ball in the chest at the front of the penalty area and gave it to Camoranesi who was plugged in. The latter rushed into the small penalty area and took a low shot. , scored Cesar's goal.

One to zero!

Three minutes later, Jimenez used a corner kick to inspin, directly threatening Buffon's goal, forcing the Juventus goalkeeper to hold the ball over the crossbar.

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

However, he immediately regretted it.

...

After seeing Ibrahimovic unload the ball in mid-air, Mancini knocked back on his heel. Suazzo volleyed from the front of the penalty area and turned into an anti-aircraft gun. He couldn't slap himself hard.

He knew he made a mistake!

I was in a hurry just now.

It's easy to get confused in a hurry.

At that time, his idea was that the three midfielders would not move, Stankovic would continue to organize and pass the ball, and play with three forwards in front.

But now he found the problem.

Just now Jimenez was still there, and the Chileans were very active, so he didn't notice that the two players, Qiu and Zanetti, consumed a lot.

Cruz and Zlatan Ibrahimovic in front are both poor performances, and their fighting spirit is not very strong, especially Cruz.

In addition to pulling, Kruiz and Ibrahimovic did not show a good performance.

Even when the team is down 0-1.

As a result, he replaced Jimenez!

This is equivalent to withdrawing his most threatening player on the court and folding his arms.

Just when Mancini was remorseful, Camoranesi dribbled the ball forward and sent a straight pass from the rib. Del Piero rubbed the front of the penalty area skillfully, and Trezeguet volleyed at close range at the back. shot, the ball was sent to Inter Milan's goal again.

Two to zero!

...

"Special!"

Mancini could hardly wish to screw his head off.

Qiu and Zanetti consumed a lot in the first half, and after 60 minutes, their physical fitness began to run out.

His team is not a Naples that has been carefully crafted, and can run at full strength for 90 minutes.

They can't do it in sixty minutes!

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

More importantly, he didn't even notice this just now, and was stupid enough to replace the most threatening Jimenez.

Well now, the players on the pitch are lacking in fighting spirit, and the midfielder's physical fitness is not good enough to withstand it.

"Substitution!" Mancini shouted unwillingly.

...

Sixty-five minutes later, Mani switched off Cruise, who was sluggish.

Inter Milan has returned to the four-three-one-two formation that it is best at. Qiu, Maniche and Zanetti play the three midfielders, Stankovic plays the attacking midfielder, and Suazzo and Ibrahimovic play the forwards. .

Going around in circles, Inter Milan is back.

Returning to the tactics he is most familiar with, Inter Milan has also begun to gradually exert its strength.

Juventus continued to play steadily.

After entering 80 minutes, Mancini replaced the exhausted Qiu with the teenager Balotelli.

As soon as the teenager played , he immediately sent a pass on the right side. After Maicon passed two players, he entered the penalty area and assisted Maniche with a close-range push and scored, rewriting the score to one game. two.

After that, Inter Milan continued to attack Juventus.

In stoppage time, Maniche even matched Stankovic's 2-1 once again, stabbed in front of the goal and hit the post.

But the referee Farina finally blew the relentless whistle.

There were deafening boos throughout the Meazza Stadium, as well as the abuse of the fans.

Mancini lost again!

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

He lost 5-0 to Naples before, and he could be said to be away, but today, he is at home and lost 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 anger from all directions.

He could imagine that after the game, the entire Italian media would swarm 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 earlier than Naples is pressure, playing later than Naples is pressure!

"That **** bastard!"

Mancini scolded bitterly and indignantly.

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

Because of those high-level words, the blow and impact on Inter Milan was too great.

"Our biggest hope now is that Regina can snipe Naples at home."

Arrogant Mancini had to pin his hopes on a relegation team.

This is somewhat ironic.
