Chapter 526 The temperament of a champion

Since Inter Milan won the Serie A and the Italian Cup last season, according to the competition system, Inter Milan will play against Roma in this season, and they will play at home.

Although it was a away game, Spalletti looked not to be outdone at all. She still ranked the 4231 formation that Roma was good at last season. Captain Toti was the team's single forward, and two local youth training players, De Rossi and Aquilani, form double midfielders. Pizarro, who joined the team's heavy money this season, became the front midfielder.

From the beginning of the game, Spaletti's team launched a scramble against Inter Milan at the Meazza Stadium. The intention was very obvious, hoping to disrupt Inter Milan's rhythm and pace from the beginning.

As Spaletti expected in the first ten minutes of the game, Inter Milan was a little passive and a little embarrassed in defense.

Just three minutes into the game, Roma made his first shot in the game.

Aguerora made a cross from the left. The right winger Mancini, who returned from Juventus this season, entered the penalty area from the right, volleyed before the defensive player, but failed to suppress the ball and failed to form a direct threat.

But this shot significantly boosted the morale of the Roma team, and the Red Wolf began to push forward and attack.

The double midfielder composed of De Rossi and Aquilani performed very hard, and once suppressed Inter Milan.

Roma's most threatening shot occurred in the eighth minute. Panucci passed the back point of the penalty area from the right. Inter Milan's right-back Sanetti made a mistake when clearing the ball, but failed to kick the ball out of the penalty area. Toti seized the opportunity and shot from close range.

At the critical moment, Cesar reacted quickly and flew to block the ball, resolving a sure goal from Roma with a helping help.

The two consecutive threatening offensives made Rome full of morale, while Inter Milan was a little embarrassed.

But Spalatti knew Inter Milan's strength very well and did not dare to be careless at all. He stood on the sidelines and kept adjusting the team, calling on the players to stay focused, for fear of accidentally revealing flaws and being seized by Inter Milan.

And his game strategy has been fully exposed, that is, to attack and strive for the first goal.

The shouts of Inter Milan fans resounded over the packed Meacha Stadium.

After performing last season, the fans of the Nerazzurri were like players and were full of confidence in the team's victory. They firmly believed that the passiveness at the start was only temporary, and Inter Milan would sooner or later counterattack Rome.

Amid the fans' shouts, the players were also not in a hurry, organizing the game in an orderly manner, passing and controlling patiently, and not being distracted by Roma's attack and two threatening shots.

This made Gao Han and the coaching staff very satisfied on the sidelines.

"We have only finally started to have a championship temperament now." Cantalero praised with a smile.

Everyone around him nodded.

The temperament of a team determines the confidence of a team.

Inter Milan always felt that they were short of breath in previous games. Even if they were full of stars in their team and had super strength, no matter they were facing strong or weak teams, especially when they were in a stalemate, they were always worried about gains and losses. They wanted to increase their offense but were worried about being counterattacked and conceded the ball. This mentality was very fatal.

Gao Han came to the team and after a series of victories last season, he not only brought strength improvements to the team, but more importantly, he brought strong self-confidence and psychological qualities, so that no matter how bad the players are, no matter how bad they are, they will not lose confidence in winning.

This is what Cantalero calls the champion temperament, which can also be simply described as domineering.

"Sparetti has no choice. If we let our trident press up, they will be dead." Gao Han smiled.

In the two Italian Cup finals last season, Roma can be said to be beaten by Inter Milan without any temper. Gao Han pressed the trident as soon as he got up, making Roma too tired to deal with it.

Inter Milan's trident is excellent in terms of personal abilities and team cooperation. With the threat of three players, Roma had to invest more troops to defend, but it was difficult to threaten the offense.

Once the attack loses its threat, Rome will have to defend the enemy for the last time, and the final result will be a disastrous defeat.

Therefore, Spaletti learned from his experience and turned away, and launched a snatch attack on Inter Milan from the beginning, hoping to suppress it directly. It would be best to grab a goal and play a defensive counterattack with peace of mind.

But Inter Milan is not a vegetarian either.

…………

…………

In the first twenty minutes, Roma gained the advantage and threatened Inter Milan's goal many times.

But after that, the Red Wolf Legion also showed weaknesses of insufficient stamina and soon exposed the problem.

In the 27th minute, left winger Tadei accidentally caught the ball while retreating to defend, and gave Inter Milan a chance to set the ball away from the frontcourt.

Peron took the free kick himself, and many tall players from Inter Milan rushed into Roma's penalty area.

Ibrahimovic, Adriano, Cristiano Ronaldo, Yaya Toure, Vidic...

There is also Cannavaro who is not tall but is good at fighting for headers...

For a moment, a gust of wind was heard in the Roman penalty area.

Spaletti was probably frightened when watching the game on the sidelines, and kept calling out to the players on the court, so that they could focus on their targets and not easily missed people.

But when Peron sent the ball into the penalty area, Inter Milan's set-piece tactics worked. After actively running, the player created a space for the ambush Yaya Toure. The Ivorians inserted the ball in the back row and headed the ball eight meters in front of the goal, sending the ball into the goal guarded by Brazilian goalkeeper Doni.

This goal completely opened the door to victory for Inter Milan.

After leading, Rome began to retreat, while Inter Milan took the opportunity to push forward, firmly suppressing Rome, suppressing the Red Wolves' Legion without any resistance, and completely controlling the game.

Gao Han also took the opportunity to adjust the team's tactics, using Ibrahimovic as the core of the offensive offense, giving the Swedish center a more chance to get the ball, and at the same time allowing the midfield and backcourt to speed up the pace of the game, creating offensive opportunities through fast transmission and active pull.

Inter Milan's adjustment made Rome feel uncomfortable and soon exposed its weaknesses again.

In the 36th minute, Evra intervened in the frontcourt to participate in the team's offense, and after getting the ball, he passed it to the penalty area.

Ibrahimovic cleverly threw away Roma's central defender Qi Wu and headed the ball from close range to win another goal for Inter Milan.

After scoring two goals in a row, Roma began to become more conservative, but Inter Milan became more relaxed.

Yaya Toure performed very well and played more and more confidently, and began to frequently get balls at the front of the penalty area.

In the 41st minute, he took the ball at the front of the penalty area and passed De Rossi, and passed it to the penalty area. Ibrahimovic used an imaginative and unconventional back kick to knock Yaya Toure's pass to the left side of the penalty area.

At this time, Cristiano Ronaldo quickly got rid of defensive players such as Panucci and broke into the penalty area. After receiving the ball, he calmed over the goalkeeper Doni who was attacking, and easily pushed the ball into the empty goal, scoring three to zero.

Inter Milan was already sure to win by leading three goals in the first half.

Taking three to zero into the halftime break, Gao Han was very satisfied with the team's performance. He praised the players' performance in the locker room and praised Yaya Toure with a key title. He believed that the Ivory Coast young player was one of the most threatening players in Inter Milan's performance in the first half. He hoped that he could continue to work hard and encourage him to play his strength.

As a result, after the second half of the game, Yaya Toure made a powerful long shot at the front of the penalty area in the first minute of the opening, which shocked the entire Roma defense line.

Although this shot failed to hit, Roma was forced to shrink his defense, hoping to block the weaknesses at the front of the penalty area.

Gao Han quickly made a substitution adjustment, replaced Sanetti with Maicon, strengthening the offensive on the right.

Brazil's right-back and Adriano have been friends for many years. They cooperated very well and had a very eye-catching performance as soon as they came on the court. After getting the ball on the right and completing two passes and one match with Adriano, Macon suddenly passed back on the right side of the penalty area. Adriano shot with his left foot and almost broke through Roma's goal again.

After two sides were alive and Rome's defense was shared, there were more opportunities in the middle.

Yaya Toure began to show his ability to get the ball. After frequently getting the ball at the front of the penalty area, he made a wonderful pass to his teammates to create a threat. Especially in the 64th minute, he made a low pass in the middle, Cristiano Ronaldo pushed the ball to the far corner from fifteen meters away from the goal, but was saved by goalkeeper Doni.

But just one minute later, Yaya Toure first actively participated in defense and oppression in the midfield and frontcourt, causing Roma's pass to catch the ball. After Cambiaso intercepted the ball, he handed the ball to Yaya Toure's feet again.

After the Ivorians got the ball, they passed it straight to Ibrahimovic at the front of the penalty area. Roma's central defender Ziwu fouled a foul while defending behind his back, giving Inter a very threatening direct free kick opportunity.

Adriano took the penalty himself and scored his fourth goal in the game for Inter Milan.

Four to zero, Inter Milan ended the game early!

Later, Gao Han replaced Stankovic and Hamsik respectively. Inter Milan finally maintained the 4-0 score until the end of the game and successfully won the first championship trophy of the new season.

With four goals, tens of thousands of fans at Meacha Stadium were excited to watch, especially the strong attack power displayed by the team, which made people excited at all.

All Inter Milan fans believe that even Roma, which is known as the most promising to snipe Inter Milan this season, lost 0-4 at the Meazza Stadium. Looking at the entire Serie A, who can stop Inter Milan?

When winning the Italian Super Cup, everyone on the team was inexplicably excited, and Gao Han was the same, but it was not just because of a championship trophy, but Yaya Toure continued his outstanding state in the warm-up match.

Although the best player in this game was given to Ibrahimovic, in Gao Han's opinion, Yaya Toure is the most threatening player on the team, especially his sudden back insertion, which is very threatening. At the front of the penalty area, his ball-making and long-range shots are both powerful weapons for the team to score.

Not only that, on the defensive end, his running coverage and defensive ability also contributed considerably to the team, especially the counter-attack on the spot after conceding the ball, which made the opponent feel very troubled, which is also a better place than Figo.

At least Portuguese superstars rarely run and defend as physically as Yaya Toure.
