On November 22, Inter Milan challenged Nantes of France away.

Having become one of the biggest names in European football, Platini reappeared in front of the media, expressing his desire to see the French side beat the Italian side.

"It would be interesting if Inter Milan, who claim to be the strongest in Europe, suffered a heavy defeat in France!"

But Yang Cheng didn't miss out on it, because he was trying to avoid making himself and his team the target of public criticism.

This is not unfounded, at least against Inter Milan, where many teams will show a stronger desire than usual to fight and be eager to expose themselves through outstanding performances, and Nantes is one of them.

There is also Platini, any counterattack by Yang Cheng may be used by him to hype and publicize, not to bird him, to treat him as air, but he has no theme to play on the topic.

In the end, Inter Milan walked away with a 2-1 victory away from home.

In this game, Emerson made a comeback, but Deco, who had been fighting continuously, was left in Milan by Yang Cheng, and the four No. 10 midfield combinations that Yang Cheng had high hopes for still failed to join forces. On the 25th, Inter Milan welcomed Fiorentina.

Yang Cheng originally wanted to arrange a combination of Vanney and Ronaldo on the front line, but Ronaldo had some physical discomfort before the game, and in the end he could only arrange Batistuta.

The Argentine god of war scored twice in the game to establish a 2-0 victory for Inter Milan, especially in the 78th minute of the second half, when Fiorentina's counterattack came very fiercely, Inter Milan even couldn't control the situation, and finally Batistuta stepped up and volleyed hard in the penalty area to give Inter Milan a certain victory.

Barty scored, but the Fiorentina fans who followed the team to the away side were choking!

Tears blurred the paint on his face, and sobs wafted down from the stands.

The cheers of the Inter fans lasted for a short time, as everyone saw Batistuta crying in the penalty area and could not get up for a long time.

He loves Florence! He loves these lovely fans!

However, as a professional, every time he plays for Fiorentina, he has to give his all, even more than usual, because he has to prove his work ethic in this way.

After doing his best, he would lick his heart sourly, the wound torn open by his own hands, very painful, painful! Every time he sees this scene, Yang Cheng feels sad.

Sensational?

Perhaps, but if football could be more sensational like Barty, I believe it would be even more fascinating!

"The next game against Fiorentina, he won't play again!" Yang Cheng muttered to himself.

He doesn't like to see this kind of scene, it's not that Barty is pretentious, it's definitely a true outpouring of feelings, it's just ......, a little sour!

"If he meets Fiorentina again, he will still ask to play!" Paul Baier smiled wryly.

Barty is a professional footballer and he definitely doesn't want to make himself special just because his opponent is Fiorentina.

Yang Cheng waved his hand to the players on the field, "I tightened my coat, the weather in Italy is a little cold, but my heart is warm and warm."

"The weather forecast says it's raining over there in Japan!" Paul, Bayer saw that the overall situation of the game had been decided, so he talked to Yang Cheng about the next plan.

"Damn it!" Caesar scolded indignantly.

Yang Cheng is not very satisfied with this kind of competition, and if it were not for the glory of representing the European champions, he would refuse to participate.

But it's still raining!!

"Boca Juniors have been in Japan for five days and they are better prepared than us in terms of preparation for the tournament!"

Yang Cheng listened silently, Boca Juniors is Inter Milan's opponent in the Toyota Cup, and its strength cannot be underestimated, there are top players like Riquelme in the team, and the back line is Burdisso, Rodriguez and other stars are in charge.

Another point is that European teams generally do not pay much attention to this kind of Toyota Cup, but South American teams are different, they are more eager to show themselves in front of the world fans through this kind of stage, once they play well, it is equivalent to getting a ticket to Europe and immediately attract the attention of the big teams. ,

In the history of the Toyota Cup, there has never been a shortage of precedents like this.

Although it was raining in Zhejiang and Zhejiang, and the plane from Milan to Tokyo was delayed, more than 1,000 Japanese fans gathered at the airport to welcome Inter.

Twice in a year, Inter Milan's Pu Department is also actively engaged in the development of the Japanese market.

The resumption of the Asian tour has given Inter Milan a bumper harvest in terms of both glory and success, and the club's sponsor list alone has added a list of sponsors and partners in the Asian region, which has also made other European giants see the potential.

Now, in addition to the first team of Inter Milan, there are also employees of the Ministry of Commerce, led by Facchetti himself, who will even stay in Japan after the Toyota Cup to give a few business cooperation.

In order to prepare for the construction of the new stadium, Inter Milan has allocated a total budget of 150 million euros for the stadium, which makes the club have to bear a huge operating burden in the future.

As the team's head coach, Yang Cheng is aware of the pressure, but both Moratti and Facchetti have said that the club's investment in athletics will not shrink and will prioritise meeting Yang Cheng's requirements, and Moratti has convinced vice-president Tronchetti that the two families will work together to package tickets for Inter's new stadium plans.

But the club's first choice is still to be able to bear the cost on its own, which is also what Yang Cheng wants.

Walking out of the gate with the tiredness after a long jump, Yang Cheng and a group of players had to squeeze out a smile to deal with this group of enthusiastic fans, the club's press officer got Yang Cheng's instructions as early as the plane, and as soon as he came out, he kept apologizing to the fans, saying that the players were tired and hoped to be able to return to the hotel as soon as possible.

"We'll schedule another time for the fans, thank you!!"

After arriving at the hotel, the team was immediately disbanded and the players went to rest, while Yang Cheng and the coaching staff were in the hotel room to prepare for the game against Boca Juniors and finalize the lineup for the game.

"From what we have learned, Boca Juniors is very serious about this match, they were champions last year and Bianchi will be hoping to defend it this year."

Last year's Boca Juniors defeated Real Madrid, and after the game, Boca Juniors made several lucrative deals in quick succession, which gave the South American powerhouse a taste of sweetness.

The biggest star in Boca Juniors this season is Riquelme, a midfield star who has been on the radar of many European giants, and he performed well in last year's Toyota Cup, beating Real Madrid with two assists, which attracted Barcelona's pursuit, but Boca Juniors were not willing to let go of the star easily.

There is no doubt that the Toyota Cup is a great time to raise prices.

"Bianchi repeatedly stressed before the game that the Toyota Cup is the most important game of the season for Boca Juniors, and they did set up around this game, even coming to Tokyo a week early, so in terms of preparation, we must be inferior to our opponents!"

Paul, Bair talked eloquently, analyzing the pros and cons of both sides.

"We've had three games in the last seven days, and even when we arrived in Tokyo the day before the game, we can't even get jet lag, so it's fair to say that the outside world is now looking down on our chances of winning!"

After hearing this, the assistants immediately looked at each other with a wry smile, once upon a time, Inter Milan, which was across Europe, would also be looked down upon?

"But we are not without advantages, for example, our experience, even the youngest players have a lot of experience in the European professional leagues, but Boca Juniors is a very young team, full of momentum, and if we use it, we are fully capable of beating the opposition!"

After Bao Yin Baier finished analyzing, all the assistants immediately focused on Yang Cheng who was standing in front of the window of the room, Caesar did not speak from beginning to end, just fascinated by the window, looking at the scenery of Tokyo, his eyes were full of something called tiredness.

"The old rule, luring the snake out of the hole?" Tim Hank closed the notepad and asked with a smile.

Yang Cheng nodded, "Let them attack first, and we'll fight back!" ”

This is also something that can't be helped, Inter Milan is a long-distance jump, and it is a fatigue battle, and it is definitely a loss to take the initiative, on the other hand, Boca Juniors, waiting for work, Bianchi must be waiting for Inter Milan to take the bait. ,

"In the afternoon, when I was familiar with the venue, I rehearsed the new configuration of the midfield, this game we played 442, and the midfield arranged a combination of Pasquale, Zanetti, Van Bommel and Perrotta, try to pull up the rhythm, strengthen the midfield, and don't give Riquelme the opportunity to control the ball calmly!"

Riquelme's biggest feature is to pull the ball slowly and logically, Yang Cheng wants to pull up the rhythm, compress Riquelme's role, and play a defensive counterattack.

Pasquale can play as a full-back and as a wing-back, while Perrotta is a versatile player up front, with both players being good runners and Zanetti and Van Bommel in the middle, Inter Milan's defence is reassuring.

As for the offensive aspect, with the characteristics of Argentine players, Yang Cheng arranged Luka and Toni to switch to Recoba, looking for more opportunities from the two wings, and then taking advantage of Luka and Toney's height to replace the first point.

Today's Inter Milan simply don't have the usual tactics because they are seriously lacking in fitness!

On the 27th, at the Tokyo National Stadium, Inter Milan played Boca Juniors.

The match went as Yang Cheng expected, and both sides looked cautious at the beginning, and there were few chances to go.

Inter Milan played steadily, with the tactical discipline unique to European teams, freezing the attack of Boca Juniors, but Inter Milan's own counterattack was not much, more through two wings to complete, but the effect was not very obvious.

Riquelme, who is known as the soul of Boca Juniors, did not get much possession in this game, and Zanetti and Van Bommel restrained him well.

It was a little rainy, the field was slippery, and there were a lot of mistakes!

The South American champions used their physical strength and technical and tactical style to gain the upper hand after the opening, but the European champions were not busy, and organized the attack and defense steadily, without making too many mistakes.

One of the most threatening shots of the entire first half came in the 11th minute, when Riquelme got rid of Van Bommel and deftly slotted the ball straight through the entire Inter backline.

But the Argentine striker's next shot looked weak, apparently the surface of the ball was slippery, and he slid it wide and the ball rolled into Buffon's arms, missing a golden opportunity in vain.

Boca Juniors then attacked more resolutely, but with little success.

In the second half, Inter Milan was still steady
