Chapter 430 He is our savior!
;
On the evening of April 6, 2005, San Siro Stadium, Milan, Italy. 1357924?6810gggggggggggd
Accompanied by Lin Xia, Gao Han sat in the stands where Inter Milan fans were located to watch the first leg of the Champions League quarterfinals knockout match, Milan's derby against Inter Milan at home.
Zachelloni's team performed poorly in the Serie A and wanted to make a difference in the Champions League, so he sent all the main players to play in this game, and put a lot of effort into the lineup arrangement, turning his playing style into a more stable 442 formation.
In contrast, Ancelotti's Milan continued to adopt the 4312 formation steadily to respond to changes in a constant manner.
As mortal enemies in the city, both sides are very familiar with each other and have excellent targeted tactics.
For Milan's most threatening player Kaka, Inter Milan defends very tightly and does not give the Brazilian any chance.
The same is true for Milan. The double central defender composed of Nesta and Stam also defends very well against the double forwards composed of Ibrahimovic and Martins, especially Ibrahimovic.
But even so, the Swedish center still got an excellent opportunity in the first half. After receiving the cross from the right, with his personal ability, he turned around and shook over Kafu and Gattuso, and pushed the ball with his right foot to the far corner.
But this exquisite shot was saved by the opponent's goalkeeper Dida as if he had the help of his god.
This hit Inter Milan a big blow, and the first half is approaching the end of the year, and the Nerazzurri seems to be a little slacking off.
In the first half stoppage time, Pirlo took a free kick and assisted Stam to head the ball to score, one-to-zero.
In the stands, Gao Han shook his head and sighed after seeing Stam score.
"Inter Milan is in trouble!"
"Isn't there a second half?" Lin Xia said strangely.
Judging from the performance in the first half, neither team has gained much opportunity. Although Milan scored the goal, Inter Milan is even more threatening, especially Ibrahimovic.
"This is a mentality problem." Gao Han shook his head and said, "Strictly speaking, Inter Milan played better in the first half, but he never broke through Milan's goal. Instead, he was scored by the opponent. He was eager to win in the second half, and I'm afraid."
In the past few years,
The mentality problem has always troubled Inter Milan.
In fact, in terms of card strength, Inter Milan is not bad at all, but it is always a little worse. The reason is that the Blue and Black Legion lacks the temperament of a strong man.
Or it should be said that this team lacks the determination to win.
"Zachelloni hopes for the Champions League, and so do the players. He is one goal behind in the first half and will definitely counterattack in the second half. But Ancelotti is a famous old turtle. When will he not defend at this time?"
After saying that, Gao Han sighed with a bitter smile again.
Sometimes, in some games, the winner is decided by a goal.
But in fact, Zachelloni's adjustment was faster and more sudden than Gao Han expected.
In the second half, Inter Milan not only pushed out the offense, but also replaced Ibrahimovic with Vieri in the 50th minute, which made Gao Han in the stands puzzled.
After joining Inter Milan, Ibrahimovic scored fewer goals than when he was at Chelsea, and even lost no results in the Champions League, which also made Ibrahimovic, who joined the team with a lot of money before the season, criticized him for being criticized.
There was Ibrahimovic in front and Cannavaro in the back. Inter Milan's two generals were scolded a lot.
Zacheroni replaced Ibrahimovic with Vieri at this time, obviously he also needed to strengthen the offense, but he replaced the guy just after halftime, which really hurts morale too much.
Moreover, Ibrahimovic seems to have no goals, but he is the most threatening player on the court.
Sure enough, after Ibrahimovic got out of the field, he threw Zacheroni's face angrily and went straight into the player's passage. Anyone could see his full anger.
On the contrary, after the substitution, Inter Milan played even less threatening. Instead, in the 74th minute, Pirlo took advantage of a corner kick opportunity to assist Shevchenko to score another goal, helping Milan defeat his arch-rivaled enemy in the city 2-0.
In this way, Milan can almost be said to have reached the semi-finals with one foot.
Gao Han sat among the Inter Milan fans and kept shaking his head.
The reason why Milan wins is entirely due to the excellent defense of the Reds and Blacks, especially the defensive restrictions of the double central defender composed of Nesta and Stam against Ibrahimovic, and the left-handed guard Martins are all quite well-marked.
In contrast, Inter Milan has no good offense, and its defense is also full of mistakes and omissions.
Cannavaro has many problems this season. Zachelloni has used the combination of Cordoba and veteran Mikhailovic in this game, and the performance of the two central defenders is also a disaster.
Especially in the second half, he was eager to counterattack and focused on defense, which made Milan's offense threaten the goal again and again, and the double center backs were almost exhausted.
Of course, Inter Milan is not without praise, that is the midfielder.
Although Cambiaso has not been reused in Real Madrid in the past few years, his progress has been very obvious, and his defense and organization are very good, which has made Gao Han, who has been away for a long time, illuminate his eyes.
Zanetti is another commendable player in Inter Milan's midfield. As Cambiaso's deputy, his performance is also remarkable, and Stankovic's performance is also quite good.
The three midfielders of Inter Milan, plus Van der Mede on the wing, tend to pass and cooperate and run without the ball, and actively press high positions, but this has also caused Inter Milan's defense to repeatedly make mistakes.
At first glance, Milan's two goals were set pieces, but before that, the Ross and Blacks had fouled Inter Milan through counterattacks, which was obviously not accidental.
It should be said that Ancelotti is still very cunning. He seems to be playing passes and controls, but he is a defensive counterattack in his heart. He first put himself invincible, and then waited for Inter Milan to make a mistake and the final blow was fatal.
On the other hand, Inter Milan plays high-level defense and pass control are not a problem. The problem lies in its own offense and its lack of solid defense, and the pass control and play style has not been made.
With Juventus and Milan as strong as this, coach Inter Milan
"It's really an interesting challenge!" Gao Han said with a smile.
Gao Han appeared at San Siro Stadium and watched photos of Milan's derby. He soon became a major media outlet in Italy and Europe. The response caused even surpassed the derby in the quarterfinals of the Champions League.
Everyone knows that Zacheroni is a foregone conclusion, but Gao Han suddenly appears at this time. Is he going to coach Inter Milan?
Italian media and Inter Milan fans were immediately excited.
That's high cold!
Since his debut, he has maintained an unstoppable winning streak. If he comes to coach Inter Milan, won’t the victory and the championship be easy?
What is interesting is that when the outside world hyped Gao Han to coach Inter Milan, the management of the Nerazzurri did not stand up again to refute the rumors and support head coach Zacheroni as before.
On the contrary, Swedish center Ibrahimovic publicly stated in an interview with Milan Sports that Gao Han welcomed Inter Milan. "The boss is a magical head coach. He has a unique charm that makes all players willing to fight for him, and he will also give players trust with heart-to-heart."
The media understood that this was the move Ibrahimovic who shot Zacheroni in the first half.
But after Ibrahimovic, central defender Cannavaro also accepted the media interview, but he did not be as straightforward as the Swedish center, but only said implicitly, "Gao Han is the head coach that all professional players can hardly refuse!"
But soon, Gao Han's agent Mendes came out to clarify, saying that Gao Han did not come to watch the Milan derby.
"He traveled around the world with his wife and happened to be in Italy recently."
But unexpectedly, although Mendes' clarification resolved Inter Milan's problems, it caused great trouble to Gao Han, because the Italian media began to search for his traces frantically, making Gao Han, who had originally planned to have a good time in Italy, finally had to temporarily change his plan and escape from Italy.
But the progress of the game did not go beyond Gao Han's judgment.
After Inter Milan lost to Milan in the first leg 0-2, he returned to home in the second leg and lost the ball and fell behind again. Even at the last period of the game, Inter Milan fans in the stands threw down fireworks and hit Milan's goalkeeper Dida, ending the game early.
The uncool action of the fans has caused Inter Milan to be severely criticized by Italian and foreign media and UEFA. The latter even sentenced Inter Milan to lose to zero to three in this game, and almost banned Inter Milan from participating in next season's European competition.
At this point, Inter Milan finally lost to Milan with a total score of 0 to 5.
After losing the Milan derby, the morale of the Nerazzurri dropped sharply. After returning to the Serie A, he lost to Messina and fell out of the top four in the league. Although his performance improved afterwards and he chased all the way, he was unable to return to the top four in the end.
After thirty-eight rounds, Inter Milan finally ranked fifth and was forced to participate in the UEFA Cup next season.
This made all Inter Milan fans unsatisfied, and even head coach Zacheroni himself felt disappointed.
After the season, Nerazzurri Chairman Facheti announced that Zacheroni was dismissed and the team will begin to look for a new coach and promised to reorganize the team, hoping to build a more competitive Inter Milan around the new coach.
This news immediately caused an uproar all over the world. Countless fans of the Nerazzurri were eagerly looking forward to the arrival of the new coach, especially the long-rumored Gao Han.
There was even an Inter Milan fan club that organized public fundraising and bought the entire page in the Milan Sports News, and issued a call, hoping that the management could hire Gao Han with a large sum of money.
"He is our savior!"
But some media also said that the head coach Inter Milan really likes is Lazio's young coach Mancini, who had a scandal with Inter Milan last summer. Manic also said in an interview with the media that it is difficult for him to refuse an invitation from Inter Milan.
For a moment, rumors about Inter Milan were endless and confusing, becoming a major suspense in European football in the summer, attracting enthusiastic attention from fans all over the world.
It was in this chaotic hype atmosphere that Gao Han finally ended his vacation and took Lin Xia back to his home in Madrid.
