The Prince of Inter Milan starts with Brother Xiaosa

Chapter 126 You are the core!
  "I hope every Inter Milan player can know that none of you are special or irreplaceable.

What I need are players who can obey the coaching staff's instructions and resolutely implement the team's tactics.

The reason why every player has his own position is because once someone wants to play freely and moves into the position of another teammate, it will disrupt the team's formation.

Think carefully about whether there is something wrong with you.

It doesn't matter if you can't figure it out. From now on, you can sit on the bench or even in the stands and continue thinking. There will be plenty of time.

This team can win the game without anyone, so don't take yourself too seriously. "

As Mourinho finished speaking, many players quietly looked in Stankovic's direction.

The Serbian's face was gloomy, as if there was a layer of gloom hanging over him.

But after all, he was no longer an impulsive young man. Stankovic did not get angry and leave in anger, but endured it silently.

Seeing Stankovic's reaction, Mourinho nodded, finally there was some hope.

At the beginning of the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again.

Amid the cheers of the home fans, the Nerazzurri launched the offensive first.

Maicon made a pass from the right, and Milito jumped high in front of the goal and headed the ball!
  As a result, the heads of the Argentine and Bari's centre-back Bonucci collided, and the two fell in front of the goal.

Leo did not take advantage of the situation, but kicked the ball out of the baseline.

Only then did the team doctors from both teams enter the field.

However, Milito quickly stood up again and seemed to have no problem, while Bonucci was taken to the sidelines for treatment by the team doctor.

If your head is really injured, it is no small matter.

After being treated by the team doctor, Bonucci returned to the field without any serious injuries.

The Inter Milan fans in the stands knew that this young man was from their youth training, so they applauded him in a friendly manner.

I wanted to prove to my home team that I played hard but almost got injured.

After returning to the court, the fans of his home team gave him another round of applause.

This made Bonucci a bit embarrassed.

At this time, Bonucci was still young and not particularly thick-skinned.

Leo passed the ball forward, Eto'o knocked back from the right, and Balotelli's diagonal shot from the edge of the penalty area was blocked by the opponent's goalkeeper and then missed the far post.

For Inter Milan's corner kick, Leo raised his hand and drove straight to the back post!
  Materazzi's header hit Ranocchia's arm and missed the near post!

Inter players signaled handball, but the referee shook his head.

Russo decided it was just an unintentional handball and gave another corner kick.

Still driving to the back point, Inter Milan central defender Lucio got rid of the defense and volleyed sideways to score the ball!

Two to zero!
  Inter Milan expanded the score in the 55th minute!

The Brazilian central defender scored his first goal after joining Inter Milan!

What's even more outrageous is that Lucio's shot may not be possible if another forward is used.

Is this Brazil's centre-back?

The other new signings, especially the two forwards, Milito and Eto'o, were sluggish.

who am I? where am I?
  Milito worked so hard that he almost got injured, and he has not scored a goal so far in this game.

Instead, Lucio, who played as a defender, took the lead.

Things that left Milito even more speechless were yet to come.

Three minutes later, it was Leo's pass. Balotelli passed the ball into the penalty area with his right foot from the left.

Milito received the ball from the front and was kicked by Bonucci with his right foot and fell in the penalty area. Russo decisively whistled for a penalty kick!
  Eto'o took the penalty kick. The Cameroonian deceived goalkeeper Guile and hit a low shot with his right foot into the left side of the goal!
  Three to zero!
  Inter Milan seals the victory!

Why? Why would you rather give away points than let me score!

Milito stared at Bonucci and roared crazily in his heart.

With a three-goal lead, Mourinho finally had a smile on his face.

Looking at it this way, Inter Milan has a lot to do in playing four, three and three in the new season!
  In the 60th minute, Balotelli's shot from outside the penalty area was blocked by a defensive player. Milito stole the ball from the right side of the penalty area and passed it across!

Eto'o almost faced an empty goal, and his low shot missed the left post!

The Cameroonians missed a great opportunity to score twice.

Ventura immediately replaced Allegretti with Rangeela, and Argentine foreign aid Rivas replaced Sfergini.

This Rivas is a winger, not the same person as the previous Inter Milan defender.

The lead was relatively large, and under Leo's control, Inter Milan's offensive slowed down slightly.

But he also knows that this is the first Serie A game of the new season, and his teammates want a good start.

Therefore, Leo deliberately took care of the two forwards who had not yet scored a goal and sent them passes again and again.

Leo made a direct pass and Milito missed.

Leo made a diagonal pass, Balotelli cut in and missed the goal.

Leo passed the ball and Milito hit it high.

Leo made a direct pass, and Balotelli's volley hit the opponent's defender and bounced out.

Leo passed the ball again, but Ba Shen was cut off before he could take off his foot.

Milito and Balotelli didn't know if they forgot to bring their shooting boots today, and they couldn't seize any opportunities no matter what.

Eto'o broke through three people in a row and reached the right side of the penalty area, but he did not pass to Balotelli, who was unmarked on the left.

He volleyed with his left foot in front of the goal!
  Leo made a pass from the outside of the left foot. Milito and Bashen were outflanking each other in front of the goal, but Bonucci was the first to block the ball out of the far post.

In the 87th minute, Kutuzov passed through and Rangeela made a pass from the left side of the penalty area!
  Kutuzov advanced to the penalty spot and volleyed a half-volley with his right foot into the lower right corner!　　　Three to one!

Barry scored a face-saving goal towards the end of the game.

In the end, Inter Milan defeated the newly promoted team 3-1 at home, ushering in a good start to the new season!

It is naturally difficult for Inter Milan fans to be satisfied with the process of such a game.

After all, at this time, everyone generally believed that Barry, as a newly promoted team, was just a relegation team.

And if Inter Milan can't crush a relegation team at home and win a big victory, what else can they talk about.

"We played well today and I'm very happy with the performance of the players.

Barry is much stronger than you think. Coach Ventura has two skills. I believe they will have no problem avoiding relegation this season.

De Yang? There is no problem between me and him.

I replaced him early just because I was not satisfied with the team's starting performance. We will communicate well after returning and there may be some changes in his use in the next game.

The season has just begun, so there is no point talking about any goals.

They didn't score because they haven't found their form yet. I think it won't be long before they get their first league goal of the new season.

Leo? Of course, he is our anchor and the cornerstone of the team's victory.

No one can shake his position, he is our absolute core. "

Back in Pinetina, the smile on Mourinho's face had disappeared without a trace.

He called Stankovic into his office and the two had a conversation that lasted more than an hour.

No one knew what they said. Anyway, when they showed up at the training ground the next day, it seemed like there was no conflict between the two of them.

Stankovic seems to finally be able to understand people's words, reduce unnecessary forward thrusts, and pay more attention to defense.

Mourinho is not completely refusing to let Stankovic go forward to assist, but he just hopes that the Serbian can go forward again at the right time.

Instead of not recognizing your position and squandering the team's scoring opportunities.

"I hope you can be more aggressive on the court. Top stars need to have the domineering attitude to outshine me on the court.

This is where you currently fall short.

Whether you are a teammate or an opponent, you should never give in.

You are the core of the team's offense, and no one is qualified to compete with you for the ball.

Always remember this, the team's offensive organization is your responsibility, what's the point of leaving it to others? "

Do you think I'm not aggressive enough?

Mourinho's criticism is not wrong. Leo did have some intentional intentions at the beginning of the last game.

The head coach actually noticed it, but that didn't matter. Leo looked into Mourinho's eyes and nodded.

"I see."

Mourinho also looked at the young man in front of him. He hoped that Leo would live up to his trust in him.

Patting Leo on the shoulder, the madman spoke earnestly.

"You should also know that our goal for the new season is the Champions League, which is not easy to achieve.

We must work together to do our best and move forward toward the peak without fear of hardships.

Can I trust you? "

Leo straightened his sitting posture, looked directly at the other person, and nodded firmly.

……

The addition of Pandev further strengthened Mourinho's confidence in switching to 433.

He can't wait to use his best formation to play in Serie A and European competitions.

If we only play three midfielders, the competition for the positions of the two midfielders behind Leo will become fierce.

Cambiasso, Vieira, Thiago Motta, Muntari, Stankovic, and if you add Zanetti who does not need to play as a defender, six people compete for the only two starters.

Standing silently on the sidelines of the training ground, Mourinho's eyes wandered.

Several new players are getting better, and only Pandev, who arrived at Inter Milan at the latest, still needs more time to adjust.

Can the current lineup really carry Mourinho's Champions League dream?
  It has been five years since he led Porto to the top of Europe in 2004.

Whether it's the Premier League or Serie A, Mourinho has won a lot of league titles and domestic cup titles.

It seems that except for the season when Chelsea was sacked, the Portuguese has won a new championship trophy every year.

However, none of those are worth a Champions League trophy!
  Mourinho's desire to lead Inter Milan to win the Big Ears Cup has never been stronger!
  The madman wants to prove himself with the second Champions League!

Although the club was not able to get all the players he needed, it basically met his requirements.

After Ibrahimovic left, it is still unclear whether this new, no, it can only be said to be semi-new, Nerazzurri team has become stronger or weaker.

The touchstone came soon. In the second round of Serie A in the 09-10 season, Inter Milan challenged their city rival AC Milan "away"!

This game is an excellent opportunity to test the strength of this Inter Milan team!

The advantage of Pandev is that he does not need to adapt to Serie A. One week is enough for him to integrate into Mourinho's tactics!
  On August 8, the UEFA Champions League group stage draw and last season’s Champions League award ceremony were held at the Grimaldi Conference Center in Monte Carlo.

When the result of the draw between Inter Milan and Barcelona came out, Mourinho had a smile on his face.

"There's nothing to say. Let's meet the real chapter when the time comes."

Also placed in Group F are Rubin Kazan and Dynamo Kiev, but it is obvious that Barcelona and Inter Milan only have each other in their eyes at this time.
