Secondly, of course, there is the head coach Jose Mourinho. Ahead of this season, people have been wondering what the most powerful Inter Milan of the Moratti era should look like. Obviously, the answer will not be the team that invested hundreds of millions of dollars in the Lippi era but finished fifth, the team that failed to win the two derbies in the Cooper era, and the team that rode a rollercoaster up and down in the Zaccheroni era. So, is the strongest Inter the team of the Mancini era that broke more than a dozen records in Serie A to win the title, but lost at the Love Song Stadium, brawled at the Mestalla Stadium, and lost at the Anfield Stadium?

Jose Mourinho has given an answer this season. Although Ronaldo and Vieri are no longer in the team, there is something else in the team. Although Han Sen helped the team regain the World Footballer after 10 years, there is no shortage of superstars like Han Sen in the history of the team. This team dares to fight fiercely with strong teams such as Milan, Juventus, Chelsea, and Barcelona, and is even more able to bravely take responsibility after three of the four Italian teams are out of the Champions League with hatred!

In fact, Mourinho is not perfect. At least his team isn't pretty. But his side were incredibly strong, with a 4-3 win at Siena, a 1-0 win at Stamford Bridge, a 1-1 win at Camp Nou and a 2-0 win over Milan with nine men. This is the exploit of the madman, this is the tough Inter under the command of the madman.

The third is Blanca, who is still from the team's management. Inter Milan's transfer manager. He rarely appeared around Han Sen, and most of the time, he did not enter the team's training life. But last summer. In the Serie A transfer market, Inter lost Ibrahimovic. Then, Inter used the money from the sale of Ibrahimovic to bring Hansen, Motta, Milito, Lucio, Eto'o, Sneijder, and even a surplus of funds. And these six players have become the basis for Inter's victory. And Han Sen, who bought it for 58 million, became the first person in world football. Of course. That's not to say, except for Hansen, Milito or Eto'o. It's better than Ibrahim. This is only because, after Inter Milan exchanged 1 for 6, the combat power of all lines has been enhanced, and the strength of the whole team has been improved. The team's offense and defense are more balanced. Until today. One has to admit that the Ibrahimovic deal made by Inter Milan last summer is indeed the most successful example of the European transfer market in recent years. Last summer, Manchester United, AC Milan, Real Madrid, Barcelona and other teams all experienced resource integration, but Inter Milan was the only team that achieved both competitive and economic success. This is inseparable from Inter transfer manager Blanca's excellent work and shrewd operation. Today's Inter team condenses Blanca's wisdom. Cesar, Cambiasso, Maicon, Pandev...... Many of the players in the team are typical low-cost and high-energy. It didn't cost too much money. Having built such an amazing team, Blanca has proven himself to be one of the best market operators in Europe!

The fourth is captain Zanetti. Inter achieved success this season. It is inseparable from the efforts of the captain of the team, Zanetti, in all aspects. On the pitch, Zanetti is Inter's most trusted player. Fighting on both fronts, Zanetti played almost all the games, from the two full-backs to the midfielders, Zanetti was up to the task. He has become Mourinho's most indispensable key player.

But apparently, Zanetti, who is about to turn 37, is not tired because of continuous fighting. His performance in all positions is top-notch: defending Messi, he does not fall behind; Fierce battle against Xiao Luo, he talks and laughs freely; In a month and a half of double competitions a week, he is still walking like flying. When Zivo and Thornton were injured and the Inter squad had a weak underbelly, he went to fill the weak area of Inter at left back.

Off the pitch, Zanetti also played a big role. The Nerazzurri have rebuilt this season and the arrival of a large number of new signings has made the internal grind and problems a cause for concern. Zanetti, captain, assisted Jose Mourinho in quickly straightening things out of the dressing room. Hansen, Sneijder, Milito, Motta and Lucio all quickly integrated into the team's collective structure. The Nerazzurri have shown unprecedented unity on all fronts. Especially on the issue of Han Sen's strong joining and repeatedly invading the captain's authority on the field, Zanetti made some courtesies very generously and smartly, which shows Zanetti's competence as a captain.

The fifth contributor was defender Lucio. An important reason for Inter's three-line trium is that the team has a strong defensive line that is proud of Europe. In Serie A, Inter are the team that concedes the fewest goals; In the Champions Cup, the Nerazzurri also used strong defense to make Chelsea and Barcelona helpless. As a representative of a strong defensive line, Lucio has taken great credit. Joining Inter for a measly €8 million, Lucio has added three qualities to the Nerazzurri: air supremacy, speed and aggressiveness. Inter had been weak in the past (as last season's defeat to Manchester United showed), but Lucio's arrival made up for that weakness, so the Nerazzurri were able to keep a clean sheet against Drogba in 180 minutes. Last season's Inter, the ability to chase back on the defensive line was weak, and Lucio's speed of recovery made Inter have the possibility of a large premise of the defensive line, "Milan Sports Newspaper" said: With Lucio, the Inter defense line pushed forward 10 meters. But the biggest change Lucio has brought to Inter is his aggressiveness. As the captain of Brazil, Lucio is not only outstanding, but also has a respectable fighting personality. Dare to fight with all opponents, not get out of the line of fire with minor injuries, and have no fear of any strong enemy. This kind of character is the key to Inter's breakthrough in the European competition and to save the day when they are in danger many times.

The sixth winner was the Dutchman Sneijder. Inter's biggest problem in the past few seasons has been that the team has relied too much on the individual and lacked a strong overall and strong midfield. And Sneijder's arrival made up for this shortcoming. Although there is a midfield superstar like Hansen on the field, Sneijder still becomes the most important engine in the Inter midfield, when Hansen is present, he can reasonably share Hansen's organizational tasks, let Hansen attack full-time, and when Hansen is not present, he can be able to regain the task of the core of the midfield. He also scored a total of 8 key goals in the league and Champions League, and instigated Inter Milan to reverse the classic game. But obviously, Sneijder's role is not something that can be interpreted by goals and assists. Sneijder's biggest role is that he used his diligent running, fast ball, and excellent creativity to connect Inter as a whole, directly softening the sharpness of stars like Hansen in the team. This is also the reason why Inter now has a singles star like Han Sen who can compete with the crowd, and can also achieve a strong team.

In seventh place is striker Milito. Today's Inter Milan is obviously not the best-looking team in Serie A and Europe. The team has been playing Kai for a long time, not relying on the offense of mercury, but on super offensive efficiency. And the representative of this efficiency is Milito. Milito's movements are unpretentious, but quite functional. As the striker with the highest goal percentage in Serie A, Milito has been unusually consistent throughout the season, without much ups and downs, often scoring in just one or two chances. Moreover, in some key matches, especially in the first leg against Barcelona, Milito's efficiency was vividly displayed, which is the premise for the Nerazzurri to soar.

Eighth went to another striker, Samuel Eto'o. Without Hansen, Samuel Eto'o would be Inter's number one star at the moment, not only because of his fame and high annual salary, but also because he has a valuable quality: a spirit of sacrifice. Throughout the season, Eto'o spent more than eighty percent of his time playing not as a central striker. Sometimes he played on the wing, sometimes he played in midfield, and even in the second leg against Barcelona, he played as a full-back! Jose Mourinho has given him a heavy defensive task, but he never complains, constantly scrambling, running and fighting to help the Nerazzurri move forward steadily. Of course, Samuel Eto'o doesn't just scramble, he often plays decisive roles in big games. At Stamford Bridge, against Milan and Juventus in the league, Samuel Eto'o is Inter's most reliable man in key moments. Hansen's flying goal against Barcelona at Camp Nou was assisted by Samuel Eto'o, and it can be said that only Eto'o can become Hansen's close comrade in the most critical and dangerous moments. And Eto'o, as a big man, used his ability to resist pressure and sacrifice to achieve Inter's dream performance this season. (To be continued......)
