Chapter 712: The Blessed Land of the Final (1)
Mendes beat the side drum to Han Sen all the way, but Han Sen just didn't say anything, Mourinho also said not to talk too late, Mendes knew that the Italian Cup final would be the first championship of the season for Inter Milan, and it was an away game, so it was not good to delay for too long, and talked about the current progress of various businesses, so he said goodbye.
The Coppa Italia final will be played at the Stadio Olimpico early in the morning, so according to the format, Roma actually have the advantage of playing at home, but there is no away goal discount in the game, and a 90-minute draw will also require extra-time and a penalty shoot-out. With both teams winning the league last weekend, Inter Milan continue to top Roma by two points, and the prospects of winning the Serie A title are optimistic. In the match between Inter and Lazio, Milito and Hansen did not start, and only substituted in the 68th and 82nd minutes. In the last round of Roma's match with Parma, strikers Vucinić and Toney each played half of the game, which shows that both sides have reservations for this final.
Since it is the end of the season, the pre-match transfer rumors have also become a major focus of attention from all walks of life before the game. Although the news of Mourinho's imminent transfer to Real Madrid has not been officially announced, it has been very popular, and all walks of life have acquiesced, and Roma's midfielder De Rossi and Inter Milan's Hansen have been rumored to be chased by Real Madrid, but it seems that Mourinho is much more unreliable. On Inter's side, Balotelli's departure from Inter is already a certainty.
In terms of line-up, Inter Milan has no injuries except for young wing-back Thornton. Jose Mourinho will be able to field his strongest squad. The outside world believes that the Nerazzurri are expected to complete the treble this season, and they are optimistic that Mourinho will win the first title in midweek. Although the league and Champions League trophies have not yet been owned. But this does not prevent the reappearance of the "era of the great international". This season, Inter Milan advanced on the third line, with two rounds left in the league, Inter Milan is 2 points ahead of Roma, and the situation of winning the championship is very good. The Champions League and Coppa Italia also reached the final. In the strong dialogue, Inter Milan defeated Chelsea and AC Milan twice, and once beat Barcelona and Juventus at home, and the team of the world footballer Han Sen shined. Only big scenes must have super performances, which also reassured Inter in key games, there is no doubt about it. The fighting power of this Nerazzurri is enough to strike fear into the hearts of all Europe.
The only flaw is that in the two meetings between Inter and Roma this season, the Nerazzurri are at a disadvantage with one draw and one defeat. The Red Wolves, run by a small Ben, have become the only giant team that Inter have not beaten this season, and Inter will meet Roma again this time. The Nerazzurri will certainly want to end the conversation between the two teams this season with a win. More importantly, if Inter Milan succeeds in winning the Coppa Italia, it will take a solid step on the road to the "treble".
And all this is a sense of déjà vu for Hansen, almost a year ago at this time, Barcelona had basically won the league title, and then beat Athletic Bilbao in the final of the Spanish Copa del Rey. In the end, he overtook Manchester United in the Champions League final and achieved the great feat of the treble. The situation on this road is no different from last year. Jose Mourinho's first pre-match words were that Hansen and Samuel Eto'o would definitely start, as they had the full experience of last year's Barcelona glory and their experience would be a valuable asset for Inter.
Roma and Inter Milan all lined up a 4231 formation before the game, Roma played goalkeeper No. 27 Sergio, defenders No. 77 Motta, No. 29 Burdisso, No. 4 Juan, No. 17 Rieser, midfielders No. 20 Perrotta, No. 16 De Rossi, attacking midfielders No. 94 Menes, No. 11 Tadei, No. 9 Vucinic, and forward No. 10 Totti. Inter Milan is goalkeeper No. 12 Cesar, defenders No. 3 McConn, No. 2 Córdoba, No. 25 Samuel, No. 4 Zanetti, midfielders No. 19 Cambiaso, No. 13 Hansen, attacking midfielders No. 9 Eto'o, No. 5 Stankovic, No. 27 Pandev, and forward No. 22 Milito.
In the previous league with Lazio, Han Sen only came on as a substitute for ten minutes to show off his brand of sneakers, and this Italian Cup final, the tense atmosphere before the game, reminded Han Sen that this was the venue for his magical half-time performance against Manchester United last year, and it was the great performance at the Olympic Stadium in Rome that made Han Sen soar all the way and finally walked to the throne of the World Footballer, so it seems that this stadium is completely Han Sen's blessed land.
Similar to Han Sen, there is also Eto'o, who once scored Barcelona's first goal in the Champions League final last year after receiving Han Sen's pass, so in the pre-match warm-up, two players who made a big splash on this field last year took the initiative to form a pair and practice face-to-face fixed-point long passes. Coincidentally, in the two games with Roma this season, Han Sen's performance can only be described as average, not because of strength, but because the game with Roma happened to be mixed with the dense schedule, and the record was dispensable.
"We had a little bit of a tweaked squad today." Mourinho said at the end of the game: "But I am sure that it will not affect our performance today at all. We've been going through a season of grinding and adjusting and we're in peak form, but for the next big series of games, I hope that this peak form will be kept at the Santiago Bernabeu and not in Italy. ”
Jose Mourinho's words seem light-hearted, but they put a lot of pressure on the players, because the next game will be completed in less than a month, and the coaching staff may be able to help complete the physical condition, but the mental adjustment is not so easy.
"Everyone knows that I often say crazy things and do crazy things, and this time is no exception." Mourinho said proudly: "I hope we can win the game with almost a goal difference, 1-0 long. ”
Not to mention customizing the score before the game with teams of the same level, just saying that Inter has not won against Roma this season, Mourinho's remarks are really not crazy, and Mourinho actually analyzed the possibility conclusively: "A big victory or a big reversal victory in the final is easy to make the player's psychology fall into a state of madness, so if it comes down, it is easy to lose his spirit in advance." ”
“handsome! A lot of people say you're going to Real Madrid! Mourinho told Hansen that Hansen was drinking water, and when he heard this, he simply spat the water in the middle of the dressing room in protest in full view of everyone, causing a burst of laughter.
Mourinho ignored Han Sen's protests: "Today's task is to take care of De Rossi, who has the same rumors of a transfer to Real Madrid as you, and give me a chance to organize, and on offense, you have to blow him up." ”
Hearing this tactical arrangement in the actual sense, Han Sen suddenly felt a lot more energetic, and hurriedly wiped the water on his lips: "This can be had." ”
Although nominally Inter's forward midfielder is Stankovic, Stankovic is also an all-round warrior who can go forward and back, so the significance of this tactical arrangement is undoubtedly a signal to liberate Han Sen and follow his freedom throughout the field, which is also what Han Sen likes.
However, unlike last weekend, when Lazio fans collectively turned to cheer for Han Sen, this time, after the whistle blew, Han Sen got the first kick, and the entire Rome Olympic Football Stadium resounded with boos! In the final championship game, the fans are still sensible and wise, knowing that only this method can give the opponent the greatest pressure!
Han Sen took the ball in the midfield and faced the huge boos, but found that the confrontation in front of him was not De Rossi, arranged by Mourinho, but the Roman prince - Totti!
Seven days of happiness on the National Day, happy every day, the only unhappy is the author, who has to code words every day, and then is still guarding the first monthly pass! (To be continued......)
