Chapter 344： beheading

Inter Milan's centennial celebration is scheduled for March 8th.

After beating Reggina 2-0, Inter Milan held a very grand centenary celebration at the San Siro.

This celebration ceremony not only invited Italian political and business celebrities, but also senior officials of FIFA and UEFA, as well as 200 superstars and legends from all over the world.

The whole celebration continued from the end of the game until the early morning of March 9. During the daytime on March 9, Inter Milan and Milan City will hold a series of grand celebrations.

After all, the century-old giants have special significance not only for Inter Milan, but also for the entire city.

It is worth mentioning that in the early morning of March 9th, in the final stage of the celebration, the Inter Milan players walked into the center of the venue and received the tribute and cheers from the fans. Captain Zanetti delivered a speech on behalf of the entire team.

The Argentine star first expressed his gratitude to all the Inter fans, and promised on behalf of all the players in the locker room that he would do his best in every game that followed to win the Serie A championship this season.

Originally, the club also planned to arrange for Mancini to speak, but the Inter Milan coach politely declined.

First, the 0-5 away defeat to Naples last weekend, handed over the league leaders.

Then, in the Champions League round of 16 knockout round in midweek, they lost 0-1 at home to Liverpool and were directly eliminated from the Champions League.

The key is that, in the three focused strong dialogues, Inter Milan netted eight bullets, did not score a single goal, and the scene was very ugly.

In this case, how can Mancini make a speech on the stage?

Even Zanetti's speech, on behalf of the locker room, will try his best to hit the Serie A championship, in fact, he is wiping his **** for Mancini, because now the Inter Milan locker room is also panic.

…

On the afternoon of March 9, Naples at home, 3-0 victory over Rome.

The whole game was uneventful, and there were not even any too thrilling pictures. Naples won very steadily.

With the unanimous statement of the media after the game, Naples showed the temperament of a strong man.

The next day, major Italian newspapers have hyped up Naples.

Many media are keeping an eye on Gao Shen, thinking that it was his wonderful substitution that helped Naples stabilize the game.

The reason is that not long after Antonio Valencia came on the field, Naples scored two goals in a row, and the Ecuadorian players performed well with one pass and one shot.

This is no accident.

Because Gao Shen said before the game, he laid out a killer move for Roma.

Facts have proved that this trick is really deadly.

Spalletti admitted after the game that it is impossible for Roma to win the championship, and the team will do its best to fight in the Champions League.

But for the current two teams with the same points, Spalletti said, "I am more optimistic about Naples winning the championship!"

This should also be the first head coach in Serie A to take the initiative to stand up and publicly support Gao Shen and Naples to win the championship.

Even Ancelotti, his old friend, has never made such a statement.

Of course, Ancelotti won't say anything either, because he's acting like a mess right now.

AC Milan has never been able to break through the bottleneck of sixth place in the league, leaving Ancelotti overwhelmed.

…

On the morning of March 10, Inter Milan resumed training.

Mancini and the coaching staff came to the training base in advance, the focus is to study the current situation of Inter Milan.

Being eliminated from the Champions League is definitely not a good thing for Inter Milan, but it is not necessarily a bad thing.

For example, from now on, Inter Milan can be hard-hearted and focus on Serie A.

"In the remaining games of Naples, the biggest point of loss is actually at the Alp Stadium. The Ranieri team is also fighting for the top four now and will definitely fight them hard."

Assistant coach Mihajlovic analyzes the current situation in Serie A.

"The 28th, 29th and 30th rounds were played in one week. Napoli's opponents were away against Juventus, at home against Fiorentina and away against Reggina."

After a pause, Mihajlovic continued: "Fiorentina is the only team that has beaten Napoli so far, and they will meet in the Coppa Italia semi-final."

In fact, with the deepening of the season, everyone was surprised to find that the original schedule was really quite unfavorable for Naples.

Just like this one.

In the first round, everyone thought that Naples only encountered three strong teams, but the result?

Then there is Fiorentina, a team that is currently fifth and has repeatedly almost rushed to fourth.

Prandelli's squad is super strong, one of the best this season, and very young.

It can be said that the two most surprising teams in Serie A so far are the youth guards.

Just imagine this schedule in Naples.

First played the top Inter Milan, then the third Roma, and then played the fourth consecutive Juventus, fifth Fiorentina and Reggina within a week.

Reggina is currently ranked in the relegation zone, and their strength does not seem strong, but in fact, in their home games, Inter Milan, AC Milan and Roma are all playing very hard, and Juventus is even losing on the road.

So, it's also a tough fight.

Judging from this schedule, the pressure on Naples is still very high, the main reason is that the dialogue between the strong and the strong is too intensive.

"The state of Naples has been very strong recently, but it will definitely fall back in the future. This is an objective law. As long as we seize this opportunity, we will be able to exceed the points again." Mihajlovich is very determined. say.

Judging from his analysis, the possibility of Inter Milan's reversal is very high.

Mancini made a decisive decision and said loudly: "Then seize this opportunity, as long as Naples falls behind, we will catch up immediately!"

The coaching staff nodded in unison. Gu You

...

...

How to play against Naples?

This is the dilemma that all Serie A teams will encounter this season.

Now, it is in front of Ranieri.

The strength of this newly-promoted horse is getting stronger and stronger.

Even standing in March, looking back at Naples at the beginning of the season last year, you will find that this team has really improved a lot. Both the players and the team as a whole have made quite amazing progress.

The most concentrated manifestation is that they beat Inter Milan 5-0 at home, and then defeated Roma 3-0.

If it is said that the rout of Inter Milan is still a coincidence, then the three-to-zero victory over Roma is definitely a manifestation of strength.

This team is really strong!

And, it's horrendous!

Their unreasonable style of play has caused a headache for all teams in Serie A.

Facing such a teammate, what should Juventus do?

…

"Stay tight, fight back!"

At the coaching staff meeting, Ranieri gave his thoughts.

This time at Juventus' home court, Ranieri really doesn't want the team to lose to Naples again.

Everyone knows that from the beginning of the Serie B league last season, Gao Shen and his Naples have been Juventus' bitter owners. The Bianconeri have even been humiliated by their opponents by a big score, so Juventus has a strong hatred and hatred for Gao Shen and Naples. mental shadow.

To put it bluntly, it is both wanting revenge and being afraid of losing.

As the team's head coach, Ranieri must take into account the team's current situation, as well as their own situation.

Kapana's turmoil has been suppressed, and he himself has successfully obtained a coaching certificate. Now it is not considered an unlicensed driving.

But there are still many contradictions in the Juventus locker room.

Now, the bottom line that management has set for Ranieri is to keep the top four.

For this goal, Ranieri actually did not dare to be careless, because Fiorentina and AC Milan behind him were biting very tightly.

Everyone knows that reaching the Champions League final represents an income of at least 20 to 30 million euros. Who can give up this big fat?

Don't say anything else, even the arrogant AC Milan will fight to make it into the top four, let alone Fiorentina?

"After playing us, we will play Fiorentina again in midweek, two consecutive hard fights. I'm sure that Gao Shen will definitely allocate and adjust the team's lineup appropriately. This is our chance!"

If Napoli were going all out, Ranieri wasn't too sure, but the situation is different now.

Of course, Juventus is also in a bad situation.

Playing Naples this weekend, playing Empoli away in the middle of the week, and playing Inter Milan away next weekend is also a tough fight.

But overall, Juventus is much better than Napoli.

At least in terms of schedule pressure, UU reading is not as big as Naples.

As long as they rotate properly during the week, get through Empoli, and fight against Inter Milan next weekend, the schedule will be over.

After that, Juventus is a flattering horse, all of which are played once a week.

…

"So, our strategy for the weekend is to hold on tight!"

Ranieri strengthened his tone, obviously attaching great importance to the team's defense.

"In any case, we have to defend our own goal at home, and Napoli are competing with Inter Milan for the lead in the standings. They must want to win. The quicker you are, the easier it is to make mistakes. Once you make a mistake, our chance will come. ,By the time…"

Ranieri made a hand-knife beheading, apparently wanting to do a beheading.

Since last season, Serie A has had lingering fears against Napoli.

So far this season, Napoli has only lost to Fiorentina once, and that is after challenging three strong teams in a row.

Prandelli also became famous for this, and some people even said that the reason why Fiorentina was in such a high state was because of their confidence in the game against Naples.

"Everyone."

Ranieri greeted his assistant aloud.

"Our goal this season is to keep the top four."

Everyone nodded, this is the last bottom line.

Of course, only Juventus dared to be so arrogant, threatening to win the top four with a newly promoted horse.

Last summer, the huge investment that ranked ninth in Europe was the club's biggest confidence.

As for teams like Naples, forget it.

"So, we must win this battle no matter what, and we must snipe Naples at home!"

This is not a slogan, not a goal, but a bottom line that must be achieved.
