Chapter 450 Premonition of the coming storm

Amidst the chaos, the pace of the Serie A is getting closer and closer, and the situation of each team is becoming clearer.

Judging from the pre-season preparations, Inter Milan maintained a complete victory and achieved remarkable results. Moreover, Gao Han's 433-3 style of play in Inter Milan also made many people feel excited.

Especially the trident combination of Ibrahimovic, Cristiano Ronaldo and Recoba is known as a cloned version of Chelsea's former golden trident, and Cristiano Ronaldo undoubtedly took on the role of Etoo.

As for the midfield, Inter Milan does not have a role like Marklele, but from the actual effect, the combination of Figo, Peron and Cambiaso has stronger control and good defensive ability, especially the tactical execution, which is very good.

This also makes many people look forward to Inter Milan's new season, but many people also believe that Inter Milan has not experienced the challenge of strong opponents during the pre-season training camp. It remains to be tested whether the three technical midfielders can withstand the impact of strong teams.

But AC Milan's captain Maldini said in an interview with the media that Inter Milan is the most dangerous team in the new Serie A season. It has strict tactics and meticulous defense, but the most terrifying thing is their attack power.

"I have never been willing to think of Gao Han. He has brought us painful memories, but that has been over. We must look to the future. There is no doubt that in the new season, Inter Milan will be our number one competitor to win the championship."

Head coach Ancelotti also said that Inter Milan is stronger than any previous season.

"I don't know if they can play the highest level from the beginning as they did in the past, but what I want to say is that they will be the most competitive team in the new season."

Regarding the past, Ancelotti said that he repeatedly watched and studied the finals that he lost to Gao Han many times.

"I learned a lot from those games, and I hope my team can show our progress to Gao Han and his Inter Milan in the new season and ultimately beat them."

Relatively speaking, AC Milan has not changed much, and Ancelotti still adopts the 4312 formation.

But Juventus' head coach Capello has a completely different view from Ancelotti, saying that he never looks back.

"I will lose those games if I lose. I won't take it seriously, nor will I watch it repeatedly, because there is no need for each game to be independent. The one that is most attractive to me is the next one."

As for the new season, Capello said that Juventus is full of hunger.

"You know, in European football, Gao Han is a phenomenon. He is always invincible, but this is unreasonable. No one in our team will believe this. We have to smash this nonsense lie with our own hands."

Capello's team did not perform well in pre-season preparations, but they were very stable and terriblely calm. Especially with Vieira and Emerson's double midfielders, they were gradually getting combined and formed. Even Ancelotti said that Juventus's strength is unprecedentedly powerful, and it can attack and retreat and defend, which is quite amazing.

But even so, Juventus is not satisfied.

Capello swore in an interview with the media that Juventus' goal for the new season is not just a champion.

As a result, as soon as the words were finished, the next day, Juventus management efficiently dug out from Rome the wing player Mancini, whom Capello wanted, to fill the last shortcoming in Juventus' lineup that Capello said.

This deal shocked the entire Serie A League.

But almost on the same day, AC Milan officially announced to the public that it would introduce Casano from Roma to further strengthen the offensive power of the frontcourt front line.

This is also the last two major deals in the Serie A transfer market. Almost everyone believes that Juventus and AC Milan were forced to make a response after feeling the strong threat from Inter Milan.

As Roma was tragically weakened, almost everyone unanimously agreed that the Serie A championship in the new season will belong to the top three in the North.

These three teams will be the first team to win the Serie A championship in the new season, followed by Roma, Lazio and other teams.

Judging from the schedule of the new Serie A season, Juventus has the best luck, and the separation between the strong and the weak is very reasonable. Except for facing two strong rivals, Inter Milan and AC Milan, other games are excellent opportunities to grab points.

Relatively speaking, AC Milan's schedule is not as good as Juventus, but it is still pretty good.

On the contrary, Inter Milan has the worst schedule.

First, Inter Milan was the first among the top three to encounter strong opponents, and encountered Palermo in the second round, which required Inter Milan to adjust its state from the beginning of the season and to be able to continue until the end of the season.

From the fifth round to the eleventh round, among the seven opponents that Inter Milan encountered, except Livorno, the other six teams have the strength to challenge the top three, including Fiorentina, Udinese, Juventus, Roma, Sampdoria and Lazio. During this period, national team competitions and European competitions were interspersed.

Relatively speaking, the schedules of Juventus and AC Milan are much easier, and the strong opponents are staggered by each other. As long as they adjust their state, it is actually not difficult to win.

Regarding the concerns of the outside media and fans, Gao Han smiled and said at the first press conference before the start of the season that he was not worried.

"A single league has two round-robin matches, and all teams have to play twice, and there is no way to avoid it. I have always believed that as long as the team has enough strength, no matter what the schedule or who the opponent is, they can get satisfactory results."

Gao Han's reply won applause from more than 100 media reporters on the scene.

Although the outside world has launched overwhelming attacks on him and Adriano for some time, this has not damaged Gao Han's influence among fans and the media.

Even before entering the press conference hall, every reporter will receive a verbal notice, only asking questions about the upcoming league, and not mentioning the Adriano scandal, Koko and Vieri bombardment.

If you dare to restrict media reporters like this, Gao Han will be the only one who dares to do so.

"Mr. Gao Han, many people are very concerned about Inter Milan's platoon. Martins, Stankovic and Cordoba are all the main players of the team last season, but from the moment they seem to have lost their position. On the contrary, Cristiano Ronaldo, Figo, Veron, Vidic and other players are constantly gaining your trust. We are very surprised, how did you choose the player?"

A reporter raised the question provocatively and planted landmines.

Gao Han smiled and nodded, "Actually, this is not difficult to choose at all."

Just as the reporters were uproaring below, Gao Han continued: "Each of their players is very good and is a crucial member of the team. Their characteristics are different, which allows me to better arrange different lineups according to different games and different opponents."

"What I want to say is that in my team, no one is indispensable, and no one can definitely play. Even Cristiano Ronaldo you mentioned, I have been telling him that when he doesn't perform well, he has to be on the bench. If the players want to get a chance to play, they should use their strength to compete."

"I love seeing the longing look in their eyes, which will make our team stronger."

Gao Han's answer was completely invisible, leaving no one with any problems and nothing to say.

"Mr. Gao Han, judging from the warm-up match before the season, you seem to be planning to use Figo, Peron and Cambiaso as midfielders, but many people think that such a midfielder is too thin and difficult to deal with Serie A games. What do you think?"

After the reporter sat down, Gao Han replied with a smile.

"In my coaching staff and internal meetings with players, many people were like you, but I think that being single is not just a thin one, it doesn't mean whether you are in the midfield with outstanding defensive skills and large coverage, but whether your overall tactics are tight. If the tactical system is loose, then it's useless for you to go to five."

"On the contrary, as long as the tactical system is meticulous, even if you have three technical players, you will still be as solid as a decent player."

Gao Han's words are quite fresh, especially in the current trend of the Serie A League.

It goes without saying that Juventus' double midfielder is a world-class midfielder like Vieira and Emerson. Although AC Milan has technical midfielder like Pirlo, there are also protections from Gattuso and Ambrosini in front.

But in Inter Milan, there is no one who can defend even a full-time midfielder, which is indeed quite strange.

However, Gao Han is a world-famous coach. Since he said that, no one else can refute it.

But it did not prevent them from questioning Gao Han's words in subsequent media reports.

In the league round, Inter Milan's opponent is the newly promoted Treviso.

This team is not strong and is only ranked fifth in the Serie B. Although it entered the playoffs, it lost to Perugia with a total score of 0 to 3 in the playoffs and missed the opportunity to upgrade.

In the same situation, Ascoli, who ranked sixth in Serie B, also lost to Turin one-to-three in the playoffs.

But after the end of the Serie B League last season, the Italian Football Association suddenly investigated the league champion Genoa because three days after Genoa defeated Venice in the last round of the league, the Italian military police found a check of 450,000 euros in the refrigerator of Genoa's BMW car by President Prez Osi.

At that time, Venice had just taken office and general manager Pagliala, who was determined to solve the team's wage arrears, sat in the back seat of the car, with a total of 250,000 euros in cash in the suitcase. In addition, the judicial authorities intercepted a recording of a mobile phone call in a hotel in Genoa, which gave the judges reason to believe that there was something wrong with Serie B in the last round.

After more than a month of investigation, the Italian Football Association announced that Genoa's 3-2 defeat of Venice was violated, Genoa's upgrade qualification was disqualified, and directly entered the first league. Chairman Prez Osi was suspended for four years, Venice president Dalsin was suspended for four years, and general manager Pagliala was suspended for three years and six months.

This case caused a sensation in the entire Italian football world, and everyone was in danger, with signs of a storm coming.

If Genoa is a self-destructive person, then Turin and Perugia are worthy of sympathy, because they both lost their qualifications for upgrading due to financial failure, which made Treviso and Ascoli get a big advantage and get promoted to Serie A.

But no one would doubt that these two teams are the weakest teams in the Serie A.

Both Milan's two heroes had good luck in the start. Inter Milan played against Treviso at home, AC Milan challenged Ascoli away, and Juventus played against Chivo at home, which was basically a sure win.
