Lord of Greenery

Chapter 355 Foul Tactics
Roma is also a powerful player in Serie A, but in the eyes of outside fans and the media, the victory will eventually belong to Inter Milan.

"Inter Milan can win everything this season!" Bergomi praised.

"They play different football, maybe it's not beautiful, but the championship will belong to Inter Milan." Zamorano sighed.

"Hate? There is no hatred between me and Inter Milan, only a misunderstanding. I believe they can win this championship." Ronaldo showed a standard rabbit-toothed smile.

Many celebrities who have played for Inter Milan have publicly spoken in support of Inter Milan.

As an explanation, some of them were not optimistic about the performance of this Inter Milan team.

Bergomi even publicly questioned Mourinho's high salary, and even took Guardiola, who won the Triple Crown as a fledgling player, as a counterexample.

Mourinho led the team to slap the face with facts, and Inter Milan can also pursue the dream of the Triple Crown under his leadership.

In this final, Roma also played the main force.

De Rossi, Toni, Totti, Riise, Vucinic, and the former Inter Milan player Burdisso all started this game.

Baptista, who was introduced together with Riise, was once favored, but now he is only the main rotation of the team.

In this scene against Inter Milan, he failed to play.

Inter Milan still has a formation of 4312. The goalkeeper Cesar, Maicon, Lucio, Samuel and Qiwu are the four backs, and the three midfielders this time are Cambiasso, Motta and Stankovic.

Motta's performance has been very good recently, earning himself a starting spot in the final.

Sneijder, Li Ze and Milito are the offensive tridents in the frontcourt, and their positions are very stable.

What is more surprising is that as a substitute offensive player, Mourinho does not have Pandev's name in his squad, but Balotelli's name.

Balotelli has not been reused this season, and there have been incidents of wearing a Milan jersey. Everyone thought he would not play this season.

The same is true for him going to Tottenham in the future. Everyone thought he would abandon Eriksson. Who would have thought that he would soon let the opponent come off the bench and make the team successfully reversed.

Perhaps, this is also a smart approach.

After all, everyone’s conflicts have been made public. On the premise that everyone thought he would abandon Balotelli, and even Balotelli naturally thought so, he appointed the other party. This is an affirmation of the other party’s ability .

Afterwards, the little sense of superiority in the heart will make players like Balotelli stop throwing temper tantrums, but show their true level and prove that they have such strength to accept such treatment.

It is the head coach, the club and even the fans who have a bad vision, so they can't see his value.

Mourinho may be trying to use his own method to change their bad impression of the team and themselves from a practice that is not good for the club to a practice that is beneficial to the club.

Of course, what the specific situation is, what Mourinho thinks in his heart, after all, only he himself knows.

From the very beginning of the game, the Roma players were fully engrossed.

For Inter Milan, this game is very important, but not so important that it is irreplaceable.

What's more important is the subsequent Champions League final. As long as the Champions League is won, the outcome of the Coppa Italia is basically irrelevant.

After all, even if they can't win the Triple Crown, being crowned the most important league champion and the Champions League champion at the same time in one season is enough to prove that they have performed very well this season.

Roma is different. All they can fight for is the Coppa Italia champion.

How can Rome have any reason not to go all out?
However, no matter how well prepared, the gap in hard power between the two sides is still there.

Adequate preparation can only keep Roma's players in good condition, it cannot make them break through their limits and become stronger.

In the first 15 minutes, the possession rate of the two sides was 46, and Roma had the upper hand.

But Roma only completed 2 shots, one of which was a long-range shot barely kicked from outside the penalty area.

Inter Milan got many opportunities through counterattacks, and 5 of 2 shots were on target.

If it weren't for goalkeeper Sergio's good form today, Roma would have fallen behind by two goals.

Although the overall form was good, Li Ze was really uncomfortable playing.

Roma players will not let him catch the ball easily, and receiving the ball will also break the connection between him and his teammates.

This is a Messi-level defense, and Li Ze has gradually gotten used to it.

But not only that, the actions of the Roma players are not small, and it can even be said that they used foul tactics.

In 15 minutes, Li Ze fell to the ground 4 times, and his jersey was completely dirty.

"You really think highly of me." Li Ze gasped.

This level of targeting really regarded him as the absolute core of Inter Milan, regarded him as the best player in the world, and regarded him as an object that had to be strictly guarded against.

Only in this way, will he throw away his face and use this kind of formation to deal with him.

The use of this tactic almost symbolizes Ranieri's worship of Li Ze.

He thinks that there is no other way to stop Li Ze except for cheap foul tactics.

In a sense, this is throwing in the towel.

If it was a professional player who was a hot-blooded man, he would definitely not surrender like this without a fight.

But Ranieri is old, what he wants is a champion, and only a champion.

Except for the time when Atletico Madrid was relegated, he has always been regarded as a head coach with excellent tactical ability and has the nickname of a tinkerer.

He has always been able to establish a sufficiently reliable and effective system to knead the team into a combative whole.

But at the same time, his ability to adapt to battle is not strong, nor is he very tenacious.

Many times he can lead the team to get good results, but he is always one step away from the championship.

This step was like a moat, which made it impossible for him to cross it.

However, Ranieri has not won any championships.

He has won a Copa del Rey, a Coppa Italia and two Super Cups.

In the European war, he also won the Toto Cup.

However, there were three Toto Cup champions at that time, so the gold content is worth mentioning.

If you really want to say, the champion of the Super Bowl is not a decent champion.

The most valuable thing in Ranieri's coaching career is the two cup champions.

If he can win the championship this time, it will be the third time he has won an important domestic cup.

This is already a strong stroke in his professional resume.

But the problem is not that simple.

After discovering that Li Ze was stared to death, the Inter Milan players changed their thinking and began to hand over the ball to Sneijder more.

Ranieri had no tactical arrangements for Sneijder, but Ranieri underestimated him after all.

Surrounded by three people, Sneijder successfully parked the ball and found the opportunity to pass the ball to Milito on the wing.

Milito didn't drop the chain either, and hit the goal with a header from the penalty area.

Because too many defensive forces in Rome were on Li Ze's side, he was not hindered too much.

When Milito was celebrating, Li Ze also happily ran over.

He did not directly participate in this goal, but his contribution is not small.

Li Ze also has reasons to be happy, not only because of the Coppa Italia champion, but also because he has a bunch of outstanding teammates.

If they weren't so good, Li Ze would be stared to death no matter how strong he is.
