Chapter 21 Italian Super Cup
On August 2007, 8, BJ time, Inter Milan ushered in the first official game of the new season, the Italian Super Cup against Rome.

Inter Milan has won the Super Cup for two consecutive years. If they can win this game, they will equal the three consecutive championships of their rivals AC Milan.

For this game, Inter Milan is full of ambitions and is bound to win the Roma team at home.

In this game, Mancini ranked the strongest lineup that can be discharged at this stage.

In the midfield position, No. 14 Vieira, No. 77 Jingxuan and old captain Zanetti served as the three midfielders.

Cambiasso, who had just returned from the America's Cup holiday, served as a substitute.

On the defensive line, Romania's new aid Chivu appeared for the first time at the left-back position, and the first game was to face his old club.

Argentine giant Burdisso replaced Maicon, a Brazilian who had just resumed training from injury, as the starting right back.

The position of the central defender combination is naturally the familiar Materazzi and Cordoba.

On the striker position, the Swedish god Ibrahimovic and the Honduran cheetah-Suazo formed a frontcourt combination of one high and one fast.

Argentine veteran Crespo and his compatriot Cruz are sitting on the bench at any time.

The former king of Meazza, Adriano, did not enter the 18-man squad.

Since the end of last season, Adriano's state has declined rapidly.

Now, with Zlatan Ibrahimovic establishing his position as the core of the team's offense and the rise of the Argentine Cruz,

Adriano's position in the team has become very delicate, and there have been rumors in the Inter Milan team that he will leave the team in the concession.

In this game, the Roma team also sent the strongest lineup. Captain Totti and striker Giuly all won the starting lineup.

The Brazilian Mancini, who performed well last season, appeared on the bench.

The Roma team took the lead in the first half of the game. In the 6th minute of the game, the Roma team played wonderfully.

The French winger Ma Giuly caught the ball from his teammate and struggled to get rid of Burdisso's defense along the bottom line on the left.
He reached the Inter Milan penalty area, but his shot from a small angle did not pass through the ten fingers of Inter Milan goalkeeper Cesar.

As the right midfielder of the team, Jingxuan bears some responsibility for the ball.
After all, Burdisso was born as a central defender, so his speed and turn around were not fast enough, and today he was temporarily replacing Maicon as the right back.

It is impossible to expect him to be able to prevent the opponent's wing attack from the fast horse, and this ball Jingxuan is really careless.

When the opponent threw the ball, he failed to stand in the defensive position in advance to help Burdisso defend.

The Roma team's tactics today are clearly bullying Inter Milan's right back who does not have a real card, and it is right to hit Inter Milan's right wing to death.

There is no need for Mancini's instructions. With the lesson of this ball, Jingxuan's position is a bit to the right.

Jingxuan believes that with Vieira in the middle, it should be able to limit the opponent's Totti and De Rossi.After the Roma team midfielder Aquilani got the ball, he transferred it to the Frenchman Giuly on the left in a wide range.

After receiving the ball, Jiuli was about to lie down on the ball, but Jingxuan, who raised the prediction, had already rushed there, and with a sliding tackle on the ground, Jiuli's ball was shoveled out of the baseline.

Burdisso, who was behind, quickly gave Jingxuan a thumbs up. If the ball hadn't been arrived by Jingxuan in advance, it would have been enough for Burdisso to drink a pot.

The Roma team then sent a sideline kick, and left back Tonetto threw the ball to No. 14 Giuly.

The moment Jiuli received the ball, he was about to turn the ball around, but as soon as he turned around, Jingxuan's long legs had already stretched out.

He brought the ball down together, but because he touched the ball first, the referee did not call a foul.

While Giuly fell to the ground and complained, Inter Milan had already launched a counterattack.

Faced with Aquilani's close press, Vieira relied on his strong body to bring the ball to the right side of the Roma team's penalty area line.
Then he stopped, protected the ball and passed it to Stankovic in the middle.

After receiving the ball, Stankovic took a step forward and made a fake pass to Ibrahimovic.

Passed the opponent's No. 16 De Rossi, and then took a long shot with his left foot from inside the penalty area. Unfortunately, the quality of the shot was not high.
The ball rolled against the turf and crossed the bottom line on the left side of the goal.This is also Inter Milan's first shot in this field.

Before the Roma team came up and grabbed the start, they kept pressing Inter Milan to attack wildly, and Inter Milan was very passive.

In particular, Jiuli on the wing is very active. If it weren't for Jingxuan's two consecutive effective steals, Inter Milan would not have won this counterattack opportunity.

With Jingxuan's vigorous and conscious defense against Jiuli, the Roma team gradually changed their offensive routine.

Giuly played more of a feint role, luring the Inter Milan midfielder to pull the side. After the Roma midfielder received a pass from the wing, he quickly advanced and attacked the Inter Milan penalty area.

In the 12th minute of the game, the Roma team took a corner kick from the left. Aquilani kicked a strong shot from 30 yards in the middle. The ball was blocked by the Inter Milan defender and went out of the baseline.

In the 14th minute of the game, Roman full-back Cassetti stabbed Ibrahimovic's ball away.

After getting the ball, Roma's midfielder De Rossi made a long pass and passed the ball to No. 11 Taddei on the right.

After receiving the ball, Taddei rushed forward along the sidewalk, but facing the defense of his former teammate Chivu, he chose to suddenly cross the middle.

At this time, De Rossi understood, rushed ahead of Zanetti, who was a beat behind, and wiped the ball away.

De Rossi dribbled the ball all the way into the Inter Milan penalty area. Cordoba wanted to go up and block it, but he hesitated.

Roma captain Totti suddenly inserted into the Inter Milan penalty area and took away Vieira, who had been staring at him behind him.

De Rossi made a fake move to sweep the ball into the small penalty area, but actually dunked the ball and passed it to Aquilani who was unmarked diagonally behind.

Aquilani is less than 20 meters away from the goal at the moment, and everyone knows that he will kick the goal.

Although Jingxuan had realized the idea of ​​the Roma team at the moment De Rossi passed the ball,
Reluctantly, he was too far away, and even if he shoveled in the past, it was still too late to block Aquilani's shot.

However, his loud roar seemed to have affected Aquilani's attention, and this kick hit the goal post firmly and bounced out.

Burdisso quickly kicked the bounced ball, but the ball hit Vucinic's body and bounced off the baseline. Inter Milan escaped.

Roma captain Totti hurried back to comfort Aquilani, who was restless, and encouraged him:

"Non male! E' stato un colpo di fortuna." (Yes, but almost luck!)

"Per quanto riguarda il campo di applicazione del diritto di asilo, il diritto d'asilo è un diritto fondamentale."

(The roar of the opponent's No. 77 just now scared me and distracted me, otherwise I must have scored a goal)

Totti patted Aquilani on the shoulder, and then looked back at Jingxuan with appreciation in his eyes.

It may be that the violent attack in the first 15 minutes consumed a lot of energy of the Roma team. After that, the formation of the Roma team gradually began to recover, and the two sides entered a stalemate.

In the 20th minute of the game, Inter Milan's No. 29 new aid Su Yazo quickly dribbled the ball along the right flank.

Roma full-back Tonetto had to bring him down and received a yellow card. Inter won a free kick on the right side of the penalty area.

Materazzi took a free kick and Stankovic volleyed with his left foot from the corner of the penalty area, but the ball was too high.

In the 206th minute of the game, Ibrahimovic, who had few opportunities to get the ball in this game, was a little impatient. He fouled someone in the frontcourt and got a yellow card.

In the 208th minute of the game, Vieira and De Rossi fought in the midfield and both fell to the ground.

Vieira with longer legs poked the ball to Jingxuan not far away.Jingxuan took the ball to face Aquilani's defense,

He passed him easily with speed, and then passed the ball straight to Suazo, who had already run out of position.

Su Yazuo turned offside and formed a single-handedly, but he accidentally fell down before he dribbled the ball in the penalty area and hit the goal.
The ball rolled out of the bottom line and missed an excellent chance to score.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who was standing in front of the goal and waiting for the pass, spread out his hands, muttering something in a complaining gesture.

Su Yazuo got up and raised his hand to apologize, but Ibrahimovic didn't say anything.

Seeing Su Yazuo's behavior of tripping himself, Jingxuan also sighed towards the sky speechlessly.

"Could it be that you got too intense with your wife last night?"

Of course, this is just a momentary playful idea in Jingxuan's mind, as a way to make up for his regret of going on the road of maintaining chastity.

In the 30th minute of the game, there was controversy on the field. Roma center back Panucci was suspected of elbowing Burdisso on the back of the head during defense.

This aroused the anger of Inter Milan midfielder Stankovic. Stankovic and Panucci almost fought.

The situation of the game was a bit out of control, but fortunately, the referee showed yellow cards to Stankovic and Panucci in time and controlled the situation.

After more than 30 points of stalemate, Jingxuan realized that when two strong teams play against each other, the most effective way is often the flash of ace player.

Stankovic and Suazo wasted the chances he desperately created one after another. Jingxuan thought it would be more reliable to give the ball to Ibrahimovic.

So in the next game, Jingxuan consciously dribbled the ball forward, and Aquilani, who was facing up against him, was strong in attack and weak in defense, and could not stop his impact at all.

If it weren't for the conservative tactics of Inter Milan before, the crazy attack of the Roma team caused Jingxuan not to dare to dribble forward boldly.

Otherwise, he would have launched an attack through Aquilani's weak point.

You must know that if Aquilani can't defend, De Rossi will definitely help to defend, so that Inter Milan captain Zanetti and Vieira will have the opportunity to plug in and attack the Roma team's defense.

The ability of top players to read the game is also top-notch. Vieira reminded Jingxuan at this time:

"Totti, you don't need to worry about it, De Rossi will hand it over to the Sa team to defend, that little Aquilani, you just pass him!"

With the trust of his teammates, Jingxuan can finally release his offensive talent.

In the 303rd minute of the game, Jingxuan received a pass from Materazzi and followed Vieira with a backcourt two-for-one pass.

Then Jingxuan, who dribbled forward, broke through Aquilani's defense and dribbled the ball into the restricted area of ​​the Roma team.

He passed the ball to Ibrahimovic next to him, and the meaning in his eyes could not be more obvious:
I hope that Ibrahimovic will have a two-on-one with him, so that he can break through the opponent's defense and face the goalkeeper.

However, Ibrahimovic did not pass the ball to Jingxuan after receiving the ball, but chose to turn around halfway and shoot directly.

It's a pity that the ball flew out of the baseline against the goal post, and the Roma team escaped.

Although the goal was missed and Ibrahimovic did not pass to Jingxuan who was in a better position, Jingxuan saw a good sign:

His cooperation with Ibrahimovic can really be very lethal.

In the 307th minute of the game, Jingxuan dribbled the ball and rushed to the right side of the Roma penalty area again.

Tonetto's close defense failed to stop Jingxuan's bottom pass. The moment Jingxuan fell to the ground before, a high parabolic pass was sent.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic jumped high in the middle, overwhelmed the opponent's defender Mex, and smashed the ball into the upper left corner of the goal from 9 meters in front of the goal!
Goal!Inter Milan took a 1:0 lead!

After scoring the goal, Ibrahimovic was extremely excited. He took off his shirt, revealing the vest with commemorative text written on it, ran to the fan area near the baseline, and interacted with the fans frantically.

Then Jingxuan and other team members also came to join in the celebration. Ibrahimovic gave Jingxuan a big hug and spoke plausibly in his ear.

Because the scene was too noisy, Jingxuan couldn't quite understand it, so he just nodded in response, probably meaning that he performed very well or something.

Conceding a goal at the end of the first half, the mentality of the Roma players was obviously out of balance.

The action on the field just got bigger and bigger.

In the No.40 second minute of the first half, after being violated several times in a row, Vieira stepped on Vucinic in retaliation, and was subsequently warned by the referee with a yellow card.

After 1 minute, Totti brought down Vieira behind his back, Materazzi kicked Totti and other continuous revenge actions, and the referee did not whistle to terminate the game.

In the 404th minute of the game, Suazo, the Honduras cheetah, broke through the left side of the front court quickly and was brought down. Inter Milan won a direct free kick from the left side of the front court. Ibrahimovic took the penalty. His shot was powerful and heavy, but unfortunately the ball Missed.

One minute later, Jingxuan succeeded in counter-robbing De Rossi in the frontcourt, and Inter Milan got an excellent opportunity for three-on-three.

Jingxuan dribbled the ball from the left, made a fake move to smash the ball to the left, shook away the Roma defenders, and at the same time distributed the ball to Dejan Stankovic on the right.

Stankovic was facing the goal less than 20 meters away, but he obviously lacked confidence. Facing the goal, he did not choose to hit the goal, but distributed the ball to Ibrahimovic who was ambushing on the right penalty area line.

Ibrahimovic faced the defender's one-on-one marking on the penalty area line, played a change of rhythm, dodged the angle, and hit the goal with his right foot. Unfortunately, the ball flew out of the baseline against the post.

Ibrahimovic put his head in his hands in annoyance, showing a very regretful expression.

Doni, the Brazilian goalkeeper of the Roma team, quickly took the goal kick, and No. 11 Taddei of the Roma team wanted to launch a quick counterattack after getting the ball.

Reluctantly, his frontcourt cross pass was too big, and Vucinic and Giuly failed to catch up with the ball for two consecutive points.

The ball flew out of the baseline, and at the same time the referee blew the whistle to end the first half.

Inter Milan temporarily leads Roma 1-0 at home.
