Chapter 528
After losing to Barcelona away, Inter Milan, with a low morale, ushered in the devil's schedule. They first faced Fiorentina, which had already reached the top 16 of the Champions League, at home, and then went to Torino to challenge their arch-rival Juventus. After that, there will be the life-and-death battle in the last round of the Champions League group stage.
These three rounds of leagues are crucial to Inter Milan. If they cannot win two league games, their 7-point lead is likely to be quickly eliminated, and there will be no mistakes in the Champions League, otherwise they will fall into a state of doom.
Fiorentina performed extremely well in the Champions League, but in the league, they are now 11 points behind Inter Milan, and there is basically no hope for the championship. Their current goal is to have a Champions League place.
When Fiorentina coach Plandoli arrived in Milan, he said that they would be motivated in the league and if they didn't catch up on points quickly, they would miss the Champions League next season.
Fiorentine genius midfielder Jovitic also said that Fiorentina came to Milan to score three points, not one point.
The 19-year-old Montenegro genius Jovetic and Milan's Pato are Gao Xiaodong's biggest competitors in the European Golden Boy Awards. Although Gao Xiaodong is currently very popular, it is hard to say whether Jovetic will make a comeback in a surprise event in the end if he defeats Gao Xiaodong in a direct conversation.
In this game, in addition to the golden boy dispute between Gao Xiaodong and Jovitic, there is also the best scorer dispute between Girardino and Milito. Now on the Serie A scorer list, Udinese's Dinatale scored 13 goals and ranked first, Milito scored 12 goals, and Girardino scored 10 goals. All three of them may win the best scorer. Gao Xiaodong also has hope, but because of the position, Gao Xiaodong's chances of winning the best scorer are not as likely to appeal to three pure scorers.
Inter Milan attaches great importance to this game. In addition to hoping to defeat Fiorentina to improve morale, they also hope to consolidate their lead in the league and avoid distractions at the beginning of the Champions League knockout round.
It has entered the end of November, the weather has become colder, and the game time is ahead of schedule until 3 pm.
This is the highlight of this round of Serie A. Because Fiorentina's outstanding record in the Champions League, in order to belittle Inter Milan and Mourinho, the Italian media regard Fiorentina as a representative of the Serie A Champions League, which made Inter Milan fans very unhappy. Neira's group came to the scene to cheer for Inter Milan, hoping that they can beat Fiorentina and defend their position as the overlord of Serie A.
After the negotiation with Gao Xiaodong, Inter Milan had already begun to introduce Sneijder, and Mourinho also began to prepare for Sneijder's arrival, and the formation changed from the original 4312 to 4231.
The goalkeeper is still No. 12 Cesar, four defenders: 4-Zaneti, 25-Samuel, 6-Lucio, 13-Mecon; double midfielder 19-Cambiaso, 8-Mota; three forwards: 7-Quaresma/10-Gao Xiaodong, 9-Etoo; single forward 22-Milito.
Before the game, Mourinho made special arrangements. He said that although Gao Xiaodong is the midfielder, he is free in the frontcourt and can launch attacks at any position at will. Other players must switch positions with Gao Xiaodong in time.
Mourinho has already made such an attempt in training, but Inter Milan players didn't care and thought it was training. He didn't expect that in the official game, especially against a strong opponent like Fiorentina, would dare to do this.
Although Gao Xiaodong is an alternative and has a comprehensive skill, other players are not good at it.
Just like Gao Xiaodong can reach the center position, Milito has no way to play the front midfielder for Gao Xiaodong.
However, after the pre-season purge, Mourinho has great power in the team. Although everyone has their own ideas, no one raised any objections. After all, no one knows what will really happen in the game.
Fiorentina's lineup is also 4231:1 - Frey/25-Comoto, 3-Dainelli, 5-Gamberini, 19-Gobi/18-Montolivo, 15-c-Zaneti/32-Marchioni, 8-Jovitic, 6-Vargas/11-Girardino
This lineup is no different from Fiorentina's four-game winning streak in the Champions League. It can be seen that Plandelli really wants to score three points in Meacha.
After the game started, Inter Milan took the advantage of the home court and took the lead in attacking Fiorentina.
Gao Xiaodong drove the ball forward and passed the ball to Quaresma, allowing him to attack from the wing.
Quaresma finally got a chance and was eager to show himself. Faced with the interception of the young player Jovitic, Quaresma shook continuously, but he did not deceive Jovitic. Jovitic was able to see through the fake moves and stole the ball.
Seeing Quaresma conceding the ball at the beginning, many Inter Milan fans in the stands couldn't help but boo.
This is not because Inter Milan fans are impatient. The main reason is that Quaresma has a high price and poor performance, and she also likes to play tricks. The impression she has left on Inter Milan fans over the past year is too bad. Quaresma is considered by fans to be Mourinho's nepotism, and he naturally can't stand it when he sees his mistakes.
However, Gao Xiaodong knew that it was not good after Quaresma made two fake moves. He could not pass one person with both fake moves and would definitely be stolen by others. He immediately moved to the side and repaired the defense for Quaresma.
After Jovitic made a steal, he quickly dribbled the ball and counterattacked, but he didn't take a few steps and ran into Gao Xiaodong head-on.
After changing to other players, Jovitic passed the ball, but facing the Golden Boys competitor, Jovitic was uneasy. He fell behind Gao Xiaodong and Pato in the Golden Boys Awards selection. If he wanted to make a comeback, he had to defeat Gao Xiaodong in a direct conversation.
This mentality made Jovitic give up the idea of passing the ball and directly drive the ball to Gao Xiaodong.
Jovetic leaned his left shoulder and seemed to be attacking from Gao Xiaodong's right side, but he quickly raked the ball and rushed past Gao Xiaodong's left side.
Jovetic is simple and decisive. A small fake move will pass immediately. The older the player, the easier it is to shake it. However, Gao Xiaodong is fast and strong, and is not afraid of the opponent's speed. The defense likes to attack. He only robs when Jovetic starts, but Jovetic still has no way to overcome Gao Xiaodong. When the two of them are in contact with each other, Jovetic knows that Gao Xiaodong is strong and dare not collide with him. His body twists into a twist and wants to avoid Gao Xiaodong.
But Gao Xiaodong has obtained twenty years of professional experience given by the system. He has a strong ability to adapt instantly. He can pass, but the ball must be kept. Gao Xiaodong hooked his toes accurately, and Jovitic staggered over, but the ball was intercepted by Gao Xiaodong.
This was a clean and neat steal. The fans who had just squealed Quaresma immediately gave Gao Xiaodong warm applause.
"pretty!"
"It's good to break!"
"It's all Mourinho's confidants, why is the gap so big!"
"That's right, Gao Xiaodong shouldn't have passed it to him."
...
Gao Xiaodong heard the applause, but he did not want to show himself as much as Jovitic, and directly passed the ball to Mota who was inserted in the middle.
Chapter completed!
