What made Mancini relieved was that Ricardo's appearance changed the situation on the court.
In the 56th minute, Ricardo made a triangle pass on the left and then left, and Ronaldo ran to the penalty spot ghostly. He pushed the ball with his left foot into the goal guarded by Lupatelli.
In the 69th minute, this time Ricardo cut inside after taking the ball from the side and used his right foot to make a wonderful arc. The football hangs in the corner.
Inter Milan is about to usher in the first home victory of the league, and there are sudden changes on the court. Their not fragile defense line appears again. This time, the mistake is left-back Favalli. He made a furious steal and gave Parma a free kick in a great position. The free kick taken by Morfio was taken by Paul Cannavaro's header to the goal.
Inter Milan has attacked since then, but Parma was united in the city, to keep this point, Inter had to swallow the bitter fruit.
4 league games, 2 wins and 2 draws, the record is not bad, but the opponent is not too strong, this is by no means the team's intention to win.
After the match, various media have expressed their ridicule and dissatisfaction with Mancini.
"The young Ricardo deserves to get a stable start at Inter Milan. His performance has moved me, but somehow he has not touched Mancini." Milano Sport said.
"Both Ronaldo and Ricardo are angry at Ricardo's failure to start consecutively. It is reported that Ricardo has made an ultimatum to Mancini. If he cannot get the start, he will seek a transfer during the winter break. The next stop is very Probably Juventus. "This is what the Sporting Torino says.
Then he published a less reliable article: "Ricardo: Mancini deceived me. Ricardo said in an interview that Manici had promised his main position when he invited him to join, but It has not been fulfilled. So far, he has only started one of the five official matches of Inter Milan. Ricardo is dissatisfied with this and tries to solve the problem through dialogue with the club's senior officials. "In fact, Ricardo did not accept Interviewed by this newspaper.
也不 In the second round of the UEFA Champions League group stage on the evening of September 30, I don't know whether he felt the pressure from the media or was moved by Ricardo's performance. Mancini finally made Ricardo a start again. Inter Milan's away challenge to Champions League Anderlecht, this game clearly showed the gap between the two leagues.
卡 Ricardo, who returned to the starting position once again, was quite active. He scored twice in the first half and assisted Ronaldo in the second half to score.
Although Anderlecht used the corner kick to pull back a point, Ronaldo's three-man single-pass breakthrough in the 70th minute killed their last glimmer of hope. But after this goal, Ronaldo's calf muscle strain was replaced.
Inter Milan won both battles, temporarily ranked first in the group. Anderlecht was in Mexico in two wars. Werder Bremen defeated Valencia at home and scored 3 points with Valencia.
However, the results of Ronaldo's examination were not optimistic. It was not just a strain in the calf muscles. He also suffered a contusion of the cruciate ligament of his knee. He would have to end the truce 6-8 weeks.
When Ricardo went to visit Ronaldo, the active ball king didn't take his injury seriously, and laughed: "I'll rely on you in the next period of time, brother, don't drop the chain, I still want this season Hit the Triple Crown! "
"The Triple Crown is hard to say, at least the league championship will not be lost." Ricardo said with a vow.
I returned to the league. On October 4, Inter Milan challenged Roma away.
In this game, Materazzi was unable to play due to injury. Mancini made major adjustments to the formation and starting. Zemalia played right back, and the double center partner was Cordoba and Burdiso, left back. It is Captain Zanetti.
The midfielder played off Belon, Cambiasso and Stankovic. Recoba started for the first time and kicked the front. On the front, Ronaldo hasn't healed yet, starting with Ricardo and Adriano.
This is also Mancini's first 4312 formation. Exactly how effective it still needs to be tested in actual combat.
Last season, Roma overwhelmed Inter Milan and scored the second place in the league. Judging from the lineup, they are a grade worse than Inter Milan, but the team led by Totti can always play passionate games, and although their back line is not large, they are more stable than Inter Milan. Rota and De Rossi's midfield can provide good support for the defense.
Today they also played a 4312 formation. Totti played the current waist. The forward was a combination of Cassano and small aircraft Montella. The midfielder De Rossi, Perrota and Mancini Jr., and the four defenders were Panucci, Meeks, Ferrari, and Cuffrey. Goalkeeper Pelizzoli.
At the Olympic stadium, Rome played quite actively. Mancini Jr. and Panucci on the right side continued to insert assists and stormed the Zanetti side, creating several killings in a row.
In the first 2 minutes of the opening game, a direct pass from Totti penetrated the Inter Milan defense line. Mancini Jr. took the lead in the fight with Zanetti and took a small angle shot. Ejected on the leg. Just 20 years old, Cassano followed the instep ejection 10 meters outside the door and broke through the door guarded by Taldo.
Zanetti is still unfamiliar with the position of the left back. He just lost his position and was seized by the young Mancini.
The commentator said: "This is Inter's 5th league game, but also their first consecutive goal conceded. Mancini's team still needs to run in ..."
"Ronaldo's injury allowed Roma to play more aggressively and they can focus more on the offense."
Mancini sat on the coach's seat, frowning. He didn't understand why his team always conceded first. Obviously the defense line is world-class, but he always makes mistakes. It seems that we need to find a better defensive coach for the team ...
Ricardo couldn't figure it out. Materazzi is the guard of the intercontinental peak, Cordoba was at the top of the world, and now is also the intercontinental. Burdisso is also capable and can be regarded as an intercontinental defender. Zanetti is world class.
Although such a defense line is not as good as AC Milan, it is reasonable to say that it will not be beaten by everyone.
Just to know that just a few years ago, Inter Milan was still known for its solid defense. In the 97-98 season, Inter Milan was the team with the fewest goals conceded in Serie A to win the championship. At the time, Moratti said with a smile that it was Ronaldo's existence that allowed each opponent to use three or four people to stare at Ronaldo, so Inter Milan conceded so little.
Now, in the first 4 league games, 7 goals have been lost.
Where did Serie A's strongest "shield" go a few years ago?
Ricardo on the court may see more clearly. Inter Milan's midfield and backcourt players' personal defense ability is not weak, it can be said to be very strong, but the defense is not systematic. This is the biggest problem in Inter's defense. The players are fighting on their own, they don't protect each other enough, and the defense level is poor.
A truly solid defense line can never be formed by stacking up a lot of big cards. Even Cannavaro could not lead this back line to a good result last season.
If Inter Milan wants to make a breakthrough in performance, it must build its own defense system.
Or ... rely on the indomitable attack line formed by yourself and others, and score by offensive football.
