Chapter 78 The New Season Begins

Mancini was fooling it. The reporters didn’t give up so easily. They found Zhang Yuan and asked why Zhang Yuan didn’t play. Zhang Yuan didn’t talk nonsense. He used Mancini’s words: “The coach’s tactical needs, no. !"

From the current situation, it is not clear what Mancini's plan for the striker is in the new season. Mancini does not trust young people very much. The reason is not that he is unwilling to give young people a chance, but that he is under a lot of pressure. No, this season The odds of winning the championship have come out. Inter Milan is no surprise at the top of the list. The goal of the club is to win the championship. The goal of the Champions League is also aimed at the final. Mancini has a heavy burden. I would rather believe in veterans, and the state of young people is generally ups and downs.

Five days later, on August 8th, Inter Milan played against Roma. Mancini chose the strongest lineup in his mind. Goalkeeper Julio Cesar, right back Burdisso, center back Cordoba, Ma Trazzi, left back Chivu; midfielder Vieira, Dacourt, Zanetti; midfielder Stankovic; forward Ibrahimovic, Suazo, Toldo, Max on the bench Weir, Samuel, Figo, Cambiasso, Cruz, Crespo.

Adriano, Zhang Yuan, and Balotelli all failed to enter the squad, and could only sit in the stands with the suspended Maicon.

The disappointment that Zhang Yuan failed to enter the squad is not only that he also has many Chinese reporters and fans who care about him, but the formation is the head coach, and the reporters and fans have nothing to do about it.

The Super Bowl can be regarded as the first cup and the first game of the new season. It is impossible for the head coaches of both sides to treat this game with the mentality of training soldiers. It is also a championship trophy, why not fight for it if you can get it.

Therefore, Inter Milan has the strongest lineup, and Spalletti will naturally have the strongest lineup.Spalletti can be said to be the head coach who advocates offense very much among the Italian coaches, especially when he led the team of Udinese. Under his guidance, Udinese had the honor of finishing fourth in the league and went to the UEFA Champions League for a stroll.

After coming to Rome, Spalletti adapted to local conditions. After exploring and running in the first two seasons, he launched a no-front tactic in the 06-07 season, demonstrating the power of the 460 formation.In the team's starting lineup, Spalletti did not arrange a striker in the traditional sense, but in the attacking process, De Rossi and Aquilani can threaten the opponent's goal with long shots, while Mancini is in the middle of the attack. Assaults are carried out on the side. As for Totti, who was defined as the midfielder in the past, he has become the offensive hub of this formation.As a result, at the end of the season, Totti won the top scorer in Serie A with 26 goals. As for Roma's 74 goals in a single season, it is also far ahead of all competitors except Inter Milan.

Today, Spalletti is still playing this formation. Roma captain Totti is called a striker, but he is actually like a midfielder. Behind him are Giuly, Taddei, and Vucinic. In fact, Vucinic was originally a striker. , and now Spalletti has transformed him into a winger.

As soon as the first half started, Roma played vigorously. The Inter Milan players seemed to be out of shape. In the first 17 minutes, the Roma team had 4 shots and 3 corner kicks, including Giuly volleying the goal. Stankovic, who was fighting sick, completed Inter Milan's first shot of the audience, and also hit an anti-aircraft gun.

But even so, Roma still failed to score in the first half, needless to say for Inter Milan, the two sides ended [-]-[-].

Roma adopts this no-forward tactic. The frontcourt is particularly aggressive and the frontcourt is more aggressive. However, in this way, there are still some gaps in the backcourt defense. It is a pity that Ibrahimovic can break through. The speed is a pity that the breakthrough ability is average. Vieira, a few players in the midfield today, has just recovered from injury but is not in good condition.

In the second half, Figo's pass caused a one-shot, but Roma goalkeeper Doni attacked quickly and saved the ball before Ibrahimovic shot. After that, Inter Milan did not create any absolute chances, while Roma was 77 minutes De Rossi scored a penalty kick, which was also the only goal in the game. Inter Milan lost their first championship of the new season, and Roma successfully terminated Inter Milan's three-game winning streak in the Italian Super Cup.

After the game, Mancini attributed the loss to the poor physical condition of the players, without saying much.

Zhang Yuan watched in the stands as anxiously as the fans at the scene. The entire Inter Milan team was not active in running. Zhang Yuan wondered if this was Inter Milan?Through this summer training camp, Zhang Yuan feels good about himself and has no physical problems. Now he is full of energy and can't wait to go on the court to kick himself. It's a pity that Mancini didn't choose him, which made Zhang Yuan feel resentful.

Adriano seemed indifferent, talking and laughing with Balotelli throughout the game, and didn't mind losing the squad at all. It's really strange to say that Mancini chose all the older forwards. , the three young forwards all lost, it seems that I really believe that Jiang is old and hot.

In this way, Zhang Yuan lost his first championship of the new season without even playing a game.

However, even though Inter Milan has lost their first championship of the new season, the outside media still believe that Inter Milan is unstoppable in Serie A. Even the old coach Lippi said that the strongest in Europe now are Inter Milan and Barcelona. Inter Milan has many problems. The main problem is that there are too many veteran players. More veterans mean more experience. But at the same time, it can basically be considered that injuries will increase. Injuries are the key factors that hinder the progress of a team.

The three main candidates for the midfield position, Vieira 32, Dacourt 33, only Cambiasso is young, the midfielder Figo is about to retire, and the forwards Crespo and Cruz are all over the age Thirty, but Mancini trusts these veterans. It is conceivable that a slight wave of injuries may trigger a crisis for Inter Milan.

But now that the new season is about to kick off, Mancini can only pray that his main players will not suffer any injuries. Maybe his prayers have come true. Injured, to participate in Inter Milan's home game against Udinese.

In training, Mancini could only get Zanetti to play in the midfield. Fortunately, Zanetti has full attributes in the midfield and can play in any position. Tee is used as a midfielder, but the right back is rarely played.As for Materazzi's injury, it doesn't matter in Mancini's eyes. After all, Inter Milan has relatively rich reserves in central defenders. Samuel, Cordoba, Chivu, Burdisso, and Rivas can all Kick.

Zhang Yuan still plays the role of a sparring partner in training, but a sparring partner is a sparring partner, and being a substitute also has the benefits of being a substitute. For example, Zhang Yuan has made rapid progress this summer, which was not what he could achieve in Rimini, because he faced It is the main lineup of Inter Milan. Even in the training match, it has undergone more tests than in Serie B, and it is much stronger than Rimini's internal confrontation.

From a fair point of view, both Zhang Yuan and Balotelli have made rapid progress, and although the relationship between the two is not very good off the court, it is so-so, but on the court they seem to have a tacit understanding. Vibrant, in addition to Ibrahimovic, several other strikers finally felt the threat.

On August 8, Inter Milan ushered in Udinese at home. This was the first game of the new season. The Meazza stadium was full of fans. Zhang Yuan was still not included in the list along with Adriano and Balotelli. , Like other players who have not entered the squad, they can only watch the game from the stands.This is the second time for Zhang Yuan to sit in such a large stadium, the first time is the TIM Cup, but the last time there were not so many fans this time, Zhang Yuan was very intoxicated, ah, how wonderful it would be to score in front of such fans things.

Zhang Yuan did not enter the squad for the Super Cup last time, which disappointed domestic reporters. This time, Zhang Yuan continued to fail to enter the squad, making domestic reporters understand that Zhang Yuan's prospects in Inter Milan may be worrying.

Zhang Yuan failed to sit on the bench, which also disappointed many domestic Inter Milan fans. For example, Gu Lin, who is studying at a key medical university in the west, Gu Lin turned on his computer early and waited, hoping that Zhang Yuannei would appear on the bench. , It's a pity that Zhang Yuan's figure was not seen, alas, the prospects are not good, he thinks the same as many reporters.

What did Zhang Yuan think? Mancini announced the roster after the training yesterday. Zhang Yuan was also very disappointed, but this disappointment has passed today. There is only a secret determination. Grandma, I will practice every day. I don't believe that I can't touch you, and I don't believe that I can't touch you.

Handanovic is Udinese's main goalkeeper today, but Zhang Yuan didn't play, so we can only wait after the game to see if Handanovic won't leave today, because the next game is in September On the 9nd, Udinese may have a holiday tomorrow, and he intends to treat Handanovic to dinner. After all, the three of them have not seen each other since they left without saying goodbye.

Zhang Yuan sent a text message to Digan on his mobile phone, saying that if Digan did not go to Genoa with AC Milan, then Digan can also come together, and the foursome in Rimini will be gathered within a short distance.

After sending the text message, the following ball game is about to start. Adriano is sitting next to Zhang Yuan, and Balotelli is sitting next to Adriano. Lottery whispered to everyone to take a gamble.
