Chapter 844： Maicon's tragedy

When Su Dong saw Maicon again, Brazil's right-back had lost his former spirit and was replaced by a sullen air. Obviously, Gareth Bale was hit hard enough.

In fact, when it comes to age, Maicon is less than 30 years old. He should have been in his prime. It is a pity that he met Gareth Bale, who was against the sky. Not only was he young, but the key was his speed.

Sometimes, what fans see is a miserable defeat, or a poor performance of a player, but many things behind it are often beyond the player's ability to determine, or that the player's performance is not the decisive factor.

It is as if Maicon was blown up by Gareth Bale, behind the fact that the entire Inter Milan, from the management to the coaching staff to the loss of the players, really has to be backed up, Maicon really does not need to take the primary responsibility.

Why do you say that?

First of all, Inter Milan is a rapid decline after playing a peak season, not only Maicon, Sneijder, Diego Milito and Eto'o, etc., but also a group of about 30 years old in the team. Veteran.

Anyone who knows a little about the ball knows that the most reasonable configuration for a team is the old, middle-aged and young players. There are too many veterans and the problem is very big.

Inter Milan has basically established a lineup with veterans as the core since Moratti renewed his contract with Sneijder and others on a large scale. The feelings have been taken care of, but the competitiveness of the team has been lost. No one can stop the veterans. The decline after the peak.

There is also a tactical level.

Mancini used to adopt a defensive tactic, which is no problem for a team with too many veterans.

I squatted in the pit, organized the defense, let you attack, and I will fight you back. Inter Milan achieved good results last season based on this style of play, but now the head coach has changed from Mancini to Bei Nites, the problem has changed.

From Valencia to Liverpool to Inter Milan, Benitez's tactics are basically the same, that is, four, two, three and one high position to press and oppress. This set of tactics helped him achieve success and is also the reason why Inter Milan chose him.

Why?

Because Inter Milan’s aging is too serious, continue to defend and can’t hold on. If you can attack, the advancement is too slow to start the situation. If you continue to use Mancini's squatting tactics, the defense may be better, but When the offense can't be opened, the veterans can't bear it. Sooner or later it will be a goal to be scored.

The same city rival AC Milan also encountered the same problem that year. Ancelotti used two tactics, one is Pirlo's pass, and the other is Kaka. That's why Kaka was in AC Milan. important.

But Inter Milan does not have Pirlo, nor Kaka, only Sneijder.

As a result, Benitez took his high position to press and oppress to Inter Milan.

The idea is also very wise. Since I can't squat in the pit and can't advance the offense, well, I will push the defense line directly, shorten the distance of advancement when switching from defense to offense, and play the role of Sneijder. Is this always okay?

Is this set useful?

In fact, it is really useful.

Needless to say, Serie A, Benitez's early results in coaching are still good. Although there are fewer goals, but there is no lack of a four-to-zero victory over Barry such a record, and his performance is relatively stable.

In the UEFA Champions League group stage, the first round draw with Holland's Twente 2-2 was not unacceptable. The second round defeated Werder Bremen 4-0 at home, which was a great success.

Even in the first game against Tottenham Hotspur, Inter Milan was a four to zero lead in the first half.

In other words, as of the end of the first half of the third round of the Champions League group stage at home against Tottenham Hotspur, Benitez’s tactics have been a huge success. It cannot be said to be invincible or invincible, but at the very least, Inter Milan showed good competitiveness and gave veterans a new lease of life.

But the problem is that the hapless Benitez, the hapless Inter Milan, just got better, they ran into Redknapp and his Tottenham Hotspur.

Redknapp is a cunning old fox, even in the Premier League, many people compare him with Ferguson.

Tottenham Hotspur defended well, with two sharp knives in the counterattack, Gareth Bale and Alan Lennon.

These two players have one characteristic in common, that is, they are extremely fast, especially Gareth Bale.

After Redknapp's zero-to-four defeat in the first half, there is really no way to lose. At the same time, he also sees through Benitez's tactical flaw, that is, when your lineup is old, before the overall formation Pressure, once the midfielder can't give the opponent enough pressure and is hit directly behind the opponent, sharp knives like Gareth Barry and Alan Lennon will become very deadly.

As a result, Tottenham Hotspur decisively changed its tactics in the second half, hitting one by one and pulling three goals in a row.

In the second round of the two sides, Tottenham Hotspur continued to adopt this style of play, and Inter Milan returned in a miserable away game.

At this point, everyone knows that Inter Milan's Achilles heel.

Benitez’s tactical play has also been thoroughly seen, and Maicon was completely defeated in the game against Gareth Bale and his reputation was discredited.

And if you look at it from start to finish, is this really just a player's problem?

In professional football, cooking is the original sin. If you lose, you have to admit it.

But from a neutral and objective point of view, it was not Maicon who was standing on the right back of Inter Milan. It is estimated that Gareth Bale was killed by Gareth Bale if he replaced any right back in the world. It was even worse.

Destiny is sometimes like this, and Maicon has become such a tragic character.

…

After receiving the award for the best team of the year, there was an important part of the scene, that is, eleven players stood in two rows and asked the media reporters on the scene to take photos.

Su Dong is the tallest, standing on the far left of the back row. This is also his usual habit. He doesn't like to stand in C position.

Next to him is Maicon.

Brazil's right back is standing between Sudong and Lucio, wearing a neat suit, but looks very lonely and depressed.

Messi, Ronnie and others in the front row squatted down, Su Dong leaned against Maicon, holding the trophy in one hand and Maicon's shoulder in the other, and made a smiling face toward the front camera.

Maicon was very surprised and looked at Su Dong in disbelief.

There was a time when he was the strongest right-back in the world, especially after the World Cup in South Africa, he was the same.

At that time, he had many, many friends, many, many confidantes, but as he was exploded by Gareth Bale, as his reputation plummeted, as his position as the world’s number one right back was lost, he had already After the rumors of falling from the peak appeared, these people gradually moved away from him.

Even many of the original national team and club teammates began to ignore him.

At this time, Su Dong took the initiative to take the hand over, making him feel warm.

"Thank you." Mai Kong said softly in a voice that only Su Dong could hear clearly.

Su Dong turned his head and grinned at him.

"Don't admit defeat! As long as you don't admit defeat, it will never be able to beat you!"

Mai Kong's eye sockets were reddish, and he nodded, staring ahead.

...

...

After the award of the best team of the year, the fair play award was awarded to the Haitian U17 women's football team.

Their head coach was killed in the earthquake, but these little girls still participated in the World Youth Championship.

The best women's football coach was given to Ned, and the best men's football coach was given to Bayern's Heynckes.

This is actually somewhat controversial, but the World Cup champion once every four years, just like Bayern last season, the legend of successfully defending the triple crown is unique in football history.

Heynckes deserves this honor.

It is worth mentioning that in the acceptance speech, Heynckes also mentioned Su Dong.

The FIFA Presidential Award was awarded to the Nobel Peace Prize winner, former South African Archbishop Tutu, because he actively supports the South African World Cup and is committed to promoting the promotion of football.

The Puskas Award, which is the best goal of the year, was still awarded to Su Dong.

Since the establishment of this award in 2009, Su Dong has won the Puskas Prize for two consecutive years.

He can contribute a number of wonderful goals to the world football every year. Some people even say that every goal of Su Dong is a classic and very wonderful. If it is changed to other players, it can be loaded into his career. The top ten ball highlights, so that the media and fans watch too much, they are numb, UU reading because of goals should be like this.

However, also because of this, the media and fans have more stringent requirements on Su Dong.

The winner was Miss Football of the World, and the winner was Marta from Brazil.

This is the fifth time that a Brazilian female football star has been elected as the Miss World Soccer, and she is a legendary star in the women's football session.

When it comes to the finale awards, when the FIFA Golden Globe Awards, the award-giving guest lineup is also the heaviest.

Not only FIFA President Blatter, French Football Magazine CEO Morinière, and Heynckes who just won the Men’s Football Coach of the Year, but also UEFA President Platini , Four people appeared on the podium at the same time.

This weight is undoubtedly unprecedented, and it can also be seen that FIFA attaches great importance to the first FIFA Golden Globe Awards.

When he saw Heynckes as one of the award-presenting guests, everyone already knew the answer, and they immediately applauded. The entire Zurich Opera House burst into deafening applause.

Heynckes was holding the trophy for the first FIFA Golden Globe Awards, while Morinière opened the envelope containing the winner’s name, and finally took out a golden paper card from the inside, which was the first FIFA Golden Globe Award. The name of the winner of the Golden Globe Award.

"Su Dong!!"

When Morinière shouted the name vigorously, thunderous applause broke out again.

Su Dong stood up from his seat, turned and hugged his friends around him.

Ronnie, Messi, Harvey and Iniesta also sent their congratulations.

As early as this moment, everyone had guessed that Su Dong is the number one favorite, whether in Bayern or Manchester City, his performance is impeccable.

Both Xavi and Iniesta are worthy of a Golden Globe award, but unfortunately, their rival is Su Dong!
