The Prince of Inter Milan starts with Brother Xiaosa

Chapter 280 More Flowers

No training is as effective as actual combat.

After practicing in the first few games of the new season, Ancelotti basically has a good idea of ​​the abilities of all members of the team.

The next step is to "train" them and adjust their tactics.

Bell often gives people the impression that he is very fast but has rough skills.

However, this is actually his biggest misunderstanding.

Gareth Bale's skills with his feet are not bad at all.

In the case of high-speed breakthrough, he can still control the ball under his feet without being intercepted by the opponent. During the movement, he suddenly kicks and hits the goal and goes straight to the dead corner of the goal. Free kicks, overhead kicks, curve balls...

These are also manifestations of skills. It is not just the fancy dribbling that is the so-called foot skills.

Of course, it's not like Bell has never shown off the Marseille slalom on the court, but in most cases those fancy passing techniques are far less efficient and concise than a simple acceleration.

In other words, the Welshman's various skills are actually very good, but they are all overshadowed by his more outstanding speed.

Compared to when Leo was at Tottenham a few years ago, Bell has unknowingly made progress in all aspects.

If the immature Bell once could only perform in counterattack tactics, then this Bell is almost complete now.

Even in positional battles, Bell can also be used as a hot spot on the wing, taking on the task of breaking through the defense to complete crosses or shots.

Neymar on the other side, his talent no longer needs to be proven to anyone.

But how to better utilize his strengths and integrate him into the overall team.

Ancelotti and his coaching team also went through detailed research and repeated discussions.

It's okay to let Neymar play the way he's good at most of the time, but it's difficult when he needs to make reasonable judgments at critical times.

In the end, they chose the simplest method. Since Neymar is willing to obey the coaching staff in order to play more, then find someone among the players to lead him.

“You usually control the overall situation on the court, so this is not difficult for you.

In fact, it is to remind Neymar when needed whether he should pass or shoot. "

If Neymar is a wild horse running wildly on the grassland, Leo has inexplicably become his reins.

For this reason, Leo and Neymar had to stay together after the regular training every day to practice more to improve their tacit understanding.

In order to allow Neymar to perform better, this is really a painstaking effort.

As for the current Inter Milan midfielder's weak defensive interception ability, it is not a big problem. Anyway, most of the time they are playing against their opponents.

Attack is the best defense, as long as the opponent who can attack has no ability to fight back.

The week after the victory over Roma, Inter Milan faced back-to-back away games in Serie A.

They first defeated newly promoted Novara 5-1 in an away game in midweek. Leo scored one goal and three assists, Bale scored twice, Neymar made a pass and shot, and Balotelli also scored a goal.

This was followed by a 4-0 win over Bologna at the weekend.

Thiago Motta, Kolarov, and Berbatov each scored a goal, and Modric made a pass and shot.

More flowers! Since the start of the new season, Inter Milan has already had ten players score goals!
  The Nerazzurri seem to have shown greater dominance than in previous seasons!

At least there is nothing wrong with the offense for the time being.

But what awaits them next is the test of a powerful enemy.

Inter Milan will first play away against CSKA Moscow in the Champions League in the new week, and then immediately return to home to face Naples.

If Ancelotti can still lead his team to easy wins in these two games, it will be more convincing than the previous games.

On September 9, local time in Russia, a focus match in the second round of Group B of the 27-2011 UEFA Champions League group stage will start at the Luzhniki Stadium.

Defending champion Serie A giants Inter Milan will visit Moscow to face CSKA Moscow.

CSKA and Inter Milan have met four times in history, and the Nerazzurri have won all four.

In the 2007-08 season and the 2009-10 season, the two teams met twice in the group stage and knockout stage respectively, and Inter Milan achieved a double victory both times.

Playing away for the third consecutive game today, Inter Milan made slight adjustments to the lineup.

Ancelotti still used the 4-2-3 formation which has been relatively more effective in recent games.

Balotelli's lone forward burst forward, with Bale and Neymar on the wings.

Leo is the attacking midfielder, with Modric and De Rossi behind him.

Left back Kolarov, right back Zanetti, Bonucci and Ranocchia partnered with center back and goalkeeper Handanovic.

After this game, Nerazzurri captain Zanetti successfully entered the top five in the European War appearance list with 143 appearances, and set a record of 78 captaincy times.

On CSKA Moscow's side, "old friend" Akinfeev tore his ligament and was basically out for the season.

The starting goalkeeper of the home team today is Gabrov, which is undoubtedly good news for Inter Milan.

I warmed up before the game and ran a few steps to stretch my body. Leo tried shooting. His movements seemed a bit stiff today. Why?

Oh, it's the weather.

At this time, the local temperature in Moscow is only 7 to 8 degrees and less than 10 degrees. As the sun sets, it is expected to drop a little more when the game starts.

Although it doesn’t seem to be below zero and not particularly cold, there is a temperature difference of almost ten degrees compared to Milan.

This will definitely make the Inter Milan players who come from afar feel a little uncomfortable.

"Mario, why don't you change into a long-sleeved jersey."

In the Inter Milan team, Balotelli, who is black, is almost the player who is most afraid of the cold.

However, Bashen shook his head and refused the concern of the vice-captain and club shareholder.

"No, I'm not afraid of the cold!"

Boys' stubbornness can indeed be a headache sometimes. Leo smiled and shook his head.

In the first half of the game, Inter Milan, playing away from home, took the lead.

Leo passed the ball forward, Balotelli received the ball and turned around to dribble the ball in the direction of the goal.

A gust of cold wind blew by, and Bashen couldn't help shivering. His feet went soft, and the ball was easily stolen by Ignashevich.

Leo, who saw clearly not far away, had no choice but to smile again.

Leo had reminded him before the game, but if he didn't listen, there was nothing he could do.

Not only Balotelli, but others on the visiting team also failed to enter the game in time.

The home team made a pass from the right, De Rossi made a header from the center, and Aldonin volleyed a volley from the outside of the penalty area over the crossbar!

The first shot of the game came from CSKA Moscow, which is one of the home field advantages that cannot be helped.

Then Neymar lost the ball in the frontcourt and Inter Milan was counterattacked by CSKA.

Zagoev made a direct pass in the counterattack, and Doumbia took the ball in the penalty area and hit Bonucci and fell to the ground!

The referee Thomson from Scotland clearly ignored it.

Modric got out of the middle and passed straight, and Leo cleverly passed the ball to the left side of the penalty area!

Gareth Bale's powerful left-footed low shot was blocked by home team defender Alexei Berezutsky.

Leo took a corner kick from the left. CSKA Moscow goalkeeper Gablov collided with his teammate when he went to pick up the ball, and the ball was rubbed to the back point!

There was chaos in the restricted area!
  In the chaotic battle, Zanetti volleyed with his right foot from the corner of the small penalty area and scored an empty goal!

One to zero!

Inter Milan, playing away from home, took the lead in scoring!

Neymar received a long pass from his teammate on the right and dribbled the ball to the bottom line. He dunked the home team's full-back with his right foot and looked back at Leo.

Leo winked, and Neymar immediately nodded to express his understanding. His left foot pass was sent to the back point!
  Bell's low shot from the left side of the penalty area was blocked by Gabulov from the near corner!
  Another corner kick opportunity for Inter Milan!
  Last time the Nerazzurri took the lead by taking advantage of a corner kick, this time CSKA did not dare to be careless in the slightest.

It was Leo's corner kick. Vasily Berezutsky made a mistake in clearing the ball and the ball fell in front of Balotelli!

Faced with the big gift that the other party sent to his door, Ba Shen seemed a little unprepared.

Balotelli's close-range turning volley was confiscated by the opponent's goalkeeper Gabrov.

“I don’t know who said before that we would score more goals this season, but we can’t seize such an opportunity?”

Leo hated the fact that iron could not become steel, so he deliberately walked to Ba Shen and said something.

This made Balotelli anxious and annoyed. If his skin color hadn't been too dark, you could see that his face was already flushed.

"If I still perform like this later, I will pass more passes to others in today's game and not to you!"

Leo's stimulation was very effective, and Balotelli finally stopped playing football absentmindedly.

One minute later, Ba received the ball, turned around and passed the defensive player, and fired an angry shot from the back of his foot from outside the penalty area! The ball slightly missed the right goal post.

In the 24th minute, Doumbia dribbled the ball along the left into the penalty area and fell to the ground again after physical contact with Ranocchia.

The referee still refused to call a penalty kick.

Judging from the slow-motion replay, Doumbia is suspected of deliberately flopping.

However, the fans at the scene could not control that much. The CSKA supporters in the stands booed Thomson one after another.

Soon after, Inter Milan launched another extremely threatening offensive.

De Rossi launched a quick counterattack after stealing the ball in the midfield. Neymar passed through the crotch on the right and broke through the Russian international Alexey Berezowski before breaking into the penalty area!
  There was no need for Leo to direct this time. Neymar immediately passed the ball low to the middle. Balotelli shook off the defense and pushed the ball with his right foot from the line of the small penalty area to score!

Two to zero!
  Inter Milan expands its lead!

Trailing by two goals at home, the CSKA Moscow players couldn't stand it any longer.

The home team stepped up their attack as the first half entered the second half!
  Oliseh passed the ball into the penalty area, Bonucci made an improper clearance, and Zagoev's turn shot in the penalty area was blocked by Handanovic!

Zagoyev took a corner kick, and Doumbia jumped high from the front and headed the ball towards the top of the goal post on the right side!

This wave of offensive scared Inter Milan fans into a cold sweat.

Fortunately, luck is on their side, and even the away goal is helping.

Modric's long shot from outside the penalty area was blocked, and Inter intercepted the ball from the outside and reorganized.

Leo cleverly played the ball, and Neymar finally got a chance to shoot. He shot angrily from the right side of the arc in the penalty area!

The ball rubbed the upper edge of the crossbar and flew out of the baseline!
  Then the visiting team made a comeback, Bell scored the ball after a long run, and Zanetti made a pass from the right!

De Rossi's header from the penalty area was scored by Gablov.

In half-time stoppage time, CSKA Moscow won a well-positioned free kick.

For the inferior home team, set kicks may be their only chance to score.

Zagoev took the penalty, and his powerful curve ball with his right foot flew over the Nerazzurri wall and flew into the net against the inside of the goal frame!

Two to one!

CSKA Moscow comes back!
  Zagoev ran around the field to celebrate his goal, and the home fans in the stands also applauded and cheered for his wonderful free kick.

At the end of the first half, Inter Milan temporarily led the opponent 2-1.

"Some players on the field may have been a little slack at the end, and I hope everyone can pay attention to that in the second half."

After the start of the second half, CSKA Moscow, playing at home, further strengthened its offensive.

The score difference is only one point, and they have every chance to equalize.

Wagner Lowe made the ball, Mamayev inserted into the penalty area, turned around and volleyed with his right foot and missed the right post!
  Inter Milan immediately retaliated, Leo crossed the ball, and Neymar turned and broke into the penalty area with a cool shot, but his right-footed shot was bravely saved by the opponent's goalkeeper.

Then Bell broke through to the outside of the penalty area and volleyed with his left foot and missed the goal slightly.

A few young people in the frontcourt always like to compete secretly, which is not a bad thing for the team.

Balotelli has already scored a goal today, so Bale and Neymar are not giving in to each other and want to score.

It's a pity that the opportunities given to them didn't work out. The difference was not much every time, but they just couldn't score.

In the 77th minute, Neymar led a little too much and failed to pass the ball in time and was intercepted by the opponent.

The home team quickly counterattacked and hit the frontcourt!
  Lowe dribbled the ball from the left side of the frontcourt and cut in. He passed the Inter Milan defender and then shot a low shot with his right foot!

The ball flew to Handanovic, who jumped forward to save the ball. It bounced to the ground, changed direction, and rushed into the lower left corner of the goal!
  With some luck, CSKA Moscow scored the equalizing goal!

The score on the field was rewritten as two to two!

In the 81st minute, Inter Milan suddenly changed two people.

Pirlo and Berbatov came on as substitutes, replacing Modric and Balotelli.

Two minutes later, Pirlo, who had just come on as a substitute, passed the ball into the penalty area. Bell stopped the ball at the top of the penalty area, turned around and passed Ignashevich, and succeeded with a low shot with his left foot!
  Three to two!
  Inter Milan takes the lead again in the away game!

CSKA, who were expected to take a point from the defending champion, were unwilling to give up and they also made substitutions.

Tosic replaced Mamayev, and the home team continued to attack!
  The game entered stoppage time, and there was not much time left for them.

The home team pressed everyone, except the goalkeeper, for half the game.

After noticing this situation, Leo made a gesture secretly, but only a few teammates understood what it meant.

Doumbia forced his kick to hit the goal in the penalty area, but Handanovic pounced on him.

To be honest, the two goals Inter Milan conceded today had little to do with the goalkeeper. They were both unanswerable goals.

At this time, the game time has reached the third minute of stoppage time, and the referee Thomson began to look at his watch frequently.

The ball was thrown to Leo with great accuracy. Leo turned around and hit a long overhead pass to the back of the opponent's defense!
  There was no delay in switching from defense to offense. Neymar drove straight in and dribbled the ball towards CSKA's goal!
  At this time, the only obstacle between him and the goal is the opponent's goalkeeper Gablov!

Before Leo made a long pass, Gablov saw that the situation was not good and retreated to the penalty area in time.

In the blink of an eye, Neymar had already dribbled the ball not far in front of Gabrov!
  Hesitation leads to defeat. Gabulov didn’t even think twice and pounced on Neymar head-on!
  According to everyone's thinking, it is already a one-on-one opportunity. Whether it is past the goalkeeper and hitting the empty goal, or directly kicking, it is impossible for Neymar to pass the ball out anyway.

However, the moment Gabrov rushed up, Neymar smiled evilly.

With a slight push of his right foot, Berbatov, who followed from the other side, received Neymar's selfless pass.

Facing an empty goal, Brother Xiaosha naturally couldn't miss the opportunity. After a slight adjustment, he volleyed with his right foot and scored!

Four to two!
  Inter Milan seals the victory!

After scoring the goal, Berbatov excitedly hugged Neymar, who assisted him.

Neymar also enjoyed the hugs from his teammates with a smile on his face.

Ancelotti nodded slightly imperceptibly. This kind of cooperation is what he hopes to see.

Neymar has grown a lot in less than two months since he arrived in the Apennine Peninsula.

At the end of the game, Inter Milan finally managed to score three points in the away game with a score of 4-2!

In another match in the same group, Lille drew 1-1 with Trabzonspor in an away game, suffering five consecutive draws.

In the first round of the group stage, Lille was tied with two goals by CSKA after leading 2-0.

Trabzonspor scored a point in their first Champions League home game in the team's history.

Inter Milan, which has won two games, ranks first in the group with six points, while Lille ranks second although it only has two points.

The promotion situation is great!
  In the post-match interview, Inter Milan's head coach Ancelotti also changed his "coldness" before the game and put on a smile.

“CSKA Moscow showed tenacity and unyielding fighting spirit on their home field.

They equalized twice when we were ahead twice and they did a pretty good job.

In the end, our players performed better and won the game without any danger.

Leo? I don't need to say anything more about his excellence.

His contribution on the field is obvious to all, and it is definitely not something that can be simply explained by statistics.

It's not his problem that he didn't score any goals or assists in this game. Leo's performance was already good enough.

Although Neymar did not score a goal today, he has used two assists to show his progress since coming to Inter Milan.

It’s not just Neymar, I believe our team will play better and better in the future. "

Leo really doesn't care about personal data issues.

"I'm quite satisfied. My teammates performed well today and we successfully won the game.

This is just a game without scoring and assists. It’s not a big deal, right? "

It's interesting to say that even reporters seem to have become accustomed to the fact that Leo scores or assists in every game.

Suddenly there was a change in the game that made them all a little uncomfortable.

“But Leo, it’s good to have reliable teammates, and it’s certainly good that Inter Milan can win without having to put in too much effort.

But you must be careful not to relax. If you want to compete for personal honors, your personal data is also very important.

Although I can build momentum for you through the media, if the data does not have a crushing advantage, even if you win the Golden Ball, many people will still be unconvinced. "

"I know, I know all of this."

Leo was a little dissatisfied that his agent called him specifically to remind him.

"Besides, if anyone is dissatisfied, just let them hold it in. Who are they? I don't care what they do."

"Uh... Hahaha, that's right. You want to be the king of the ball. There's no need to pretend to be a nice guy. It's okay to be domineering!
  Those guys who are pretending and standing up are the most annoying. You are fine as you are now. "
