Chapter 535 We can be better!

After all, he is a senior Italian media person, Giani Liotta's prediction is correct.

When Gao Han accepted an exclusive interview program from Italy's state TV station and entered the prime time of National TV Station 1, it immediately caused a huge response throughout Italy, especially the strong confidence revealed by Gao Han in the interview.

If it were in the past, many of Gao Han's remarks would be suspicious or even criticized.

For example, what he said in an interview was that he hoped to lead Inter Milan to win everything, which was unbelievable in the past.

But after the outstanding performance last season and the four-to-zero victory over Barcelona this season, where will anyone doubt Gao Han and his Inter Milan's strength?

Since the draw ended, major European bookmakers have raised their odds for Inter Milan. It is not difficult to see their affirmation of the Nerazzurri. Gao Han's team has become the favorite to win the Champions League this season.

Not to mention anything else, just because of Gao Han’s golden signboard, who dares to doubt it?

Inter Milan fans also gave high praise to Gao Han's remarks, believing that Inter Milan is completing its transformation, and Gao Han's team is becoming more and more stable and more reassuring.

But some media people believe that Gao Han shouted slogans too early and was a bit blindly arrogant.

It is indeed difficult for a team to snipe Inter Milan in the Serie A this season, but in the Champions League, the weakness of the Nerazzurri is well known. How can it be done overnight if you want to change this situation?

But these rebuttals were quickly overwhelmed by the voices of recognition, and everyone showed Gao Han's past record. In addition, the defending champion Barcelona with a big slash of zero on the fourth day of the season is enough to prove Inter Milan's strength.

Not only the fans outside, but also the same is true for Inter Milan.

Morati and Blanca have expressed their support for what Gao Han said in the interview, hoping that the team can continue to work hard and strive to achieve success and make breakthroughs in both Serie A and Champions League.

Inter Milan players are also full of confidence.

In an interview with the media, the captain Sanetti, who has been meritorious for many years, said, "This is the most powerful Inter Milan I have ever experienced. There is no doubt that we are at a peak. We are all eager to win more championship honors. We are full of hunger and confidence."

As for the early stage of the season, the new player Macon on the right performed very well and was selected for the new Brazilian national team. Zanetti smiled and said that he was willing to help Macon integrate into the team and did not mind competing with Macon.

"Maicon is a very potential and very capable player. He and I have their own advantages. There will never be any problems between us, and there will be no problems in the future."

Central defender veteran Cannavaro also emphasized in an interview with Italian media, "After a season of training, we have made great progress, and even we are a little surprised, but each of us is very clear that we have strong enough to compete with all our opponents."

"Italian teams have never won the Champions League title since this century. Even Juventus and AC Milan at their peak are a very regrettable thing, but we all sincerely hope that we can end this embarrassment this season and we are confident that we can achieve this goal."

After playing the national team's game, Ibrahimovic, the main center of the Swedish national team, said in a high-profile manner in an interview with Swedish media, "All of us are ready, we want to win everything, all the championships!"

Inter Milan's players obviously not just say it, they also take action.

After playing the national team, all the players, whether they are Italy, Europe, or those who flew to South America and Africa to participate in the national team competition, returned to Pinetina immediately after the game, to participate in the team's training camp and prepare for the first game of the new season.

This self-consciousness made Gao Han and the coaching staff very satisfied, and shocked all the media and fans.

Everyone knows that Inter Milan was famously lazy before the high altitude. It was normal for them to return to the team late during the national team. On the contrary, like now, it was like trying to win a model and return to the team early, so you don’t even think about it.

But this also reflects the atmosphere inside Inter Milan and the high fighting spirit of the players.

September 9, 2006, 20:30 pm.

Frankie Stadium, Italy, Florence.

When Facheti, who was hospitalized for recuperation, appeared in the stands of the visiting fans, accompanied by Morati and Blanca, the Inter Milan fans lined up in the stadium gave him the warmest applause.

The Inter Milan president temporarily defeated the cancer disease and had to continue fighting next, but he came to Florence tonight with illness just to see Inter Milan's first game in the new season.

Gao Han still lined up a 433 formation, with goalkeeper Cesar, defense lines being Favalli, Cannavaro, Matrazi and Sanetti, the three midfielders being Stankovic, Cambiaso and Figo, and the front tridents were Cristiano Ronaldo, Ibrahimovic and Adriano.

Fiorentina still lined up in the 442 formation, with Mutu and Tony forming a double striker with one fast and one high.

At the beginning of the game, Florence, who played at home, took the lead and scored his first shot.

High center Luca Toni seized an opportunity in the fourth minute, and after using his body to withstand Cannavaro, he made a low shot at the front of the penalty area, which was directly confiscated by Cesar.

But after that, Inter Milan began to slowly control the rhythm and stabilize the situation, and Gao Han's tactics began to work.

Figo and Stankovic are in a higher position, helping the frontcourt trident firmly suppress Fiorentina.

In the seventh minute, Ibrahimovic got to the outside of the penalty area and received a pass from Figo. It was like Luka Tony's first shot. He withstood the opponent's central defender with his body and suddenly turned around and shot.

But this shot was very powerful and had a very positive angle, and was blocked by the opponent's central defender with his legs.

Inter Milan continued to make further efforts and launched a series of offensives, entering the penalty area again in the ninth minute. Stankovi made a wonderful pass, Cristiano Ronaldo broke into the right side of the penalty area, received the ball and shot hard, but was saved by goalkeeper Frey from the baseline.

Afterwards Figo took a corner kick, and there was chaos in Fiorentina's penalty area. In a hurry, Matrazi grabbed the landing point, but he was slightly above the crossbar and failed to score.

But Inter Milan's offensive finally paid off in two minutes.

When Fiorentina took the ball back, Inter Milan intercepted the ball in the middle, Sanetti made a diagonal pass to the front of the penalty area, Ibrahimovic unbelievably pushed the ball across the back, and Adriano shot straight away without thinking.

Frey was powerless in the face of this sudden and thunderous long shot, and he couldn't even save it.

One to zero!

After scoring the goal, Inter Milan did not have any conservative posture, but instead further increased its offensive against Fiorentina.

Just four minutes later, Figo received a pass from Cambiaso in the middle, turned around and got rid of the defensive player, dribbled the ball to the right, followed Adriano who came to meet with him and dribbled the ball along the right to the front of the penalty area to make a cross.

Cristiano Ronaldo quickly inserted, attracted the attention of the defensive players, and pushed the ball back to the middle at the back point. Ibrahimovic quickly followed up and directly pushed the ball, breaking the goal of Fiorentina again, 2-0!

After scoring two goals in a row, the Nerazzurri Army was unstoppable!

After taking the lead, Inter Milan began to consciously slow down its offensive, but Florence, who was fighting at home, began to push forward and counterattack wildly, hoping to regain the situation, which seemed very tenacious.

But before the first half was about to end, Inter Milan seized a counterattack opportunity. Figo intercepted the ball and passed it to the left. Stankovic made a precise pass behind him. Cristiano Ronaldo successfully counterattacked. After catching up with the ball, he drove straight in and scored a single shot, rewriting the score to three-to-zero!

This goal almost prematurely sentenced Florence to death.

But unexpectedly, Fiorentina still dared not surrender in the second half, continued to counterattack wildly, and made two very threatening offensives in a row, especially when Mutu broke through Zanetti on the left and made a cross. Luca Tony beat Cannavaro and Matrazi to head the ball, winning a goal for Fiorentina, three-to-one.

Afterwards, Florence was like a shark that smelled blood, trying to open Inter Milan's defense line from both wings, but Gao Han quickly made adjustments, stabilized his position, and gradually suppressed Florence in turn.

In the 70th minute, Inter Milan launched another attack.

After Cambiaso got the ball in the middle, he passed the ball to the left. Cristiano Ronaldo was surrounded by three on the left side of the penalty area, and with excellent personal ability, he dribbled the ball out of the siege, and passed the ball to the goal with a pass with his right foot.

Adriano did not disappoint, quickly rushed to the back point, jumped to the top, headed the ball, locked the score to four-one.

In the end, the score remained until the end of the game.

Four to one, Inter Milan won a big away victory.

Sixty-four percent possession rate, eighty-seven percent passing success rate, twenty-four shots, and eleven shots on the right. These data all reflect the advantages that Inter Milan has in this game and the credibility of the final score.

It can even be said that if Fiorentina goalkeeper Fre had not performed well and repeatedly resolved Inter Milan's attack, Fiorentina in this game might even lose a shameful score.

Therefore, after the game, Gao Han happily praised the players' performance at the press conference, believing that the team could still perform like this after just two weeks of national team competition, and he was very satisfied.

"We just finished a fantastic game, which is also a game full of new Inter Milan style. We combine passes and controls very well. We are creating threats to the opponent all the time, so that most of the game will be completed in the opponent's half, which is very satisfying."

"But what I want to say more is that every player has worked hard to complete his mission, which has allowed us to win the game in the end, and it also proves a good thing that as long as we are united, there is no difficulty that can stop us."

"In the end, I still have to say that I believe we can do better."

Gao Han then took the initiative to mention the club chairman Fachetti, believing that his supervision of the disease has brought unprecedented strength to the team, and everyone hopes to use a victory to motivate him to overcome the disease.
