The first is to lose the ball. The first two goals conceded by Inter Milan, the Roman team opened the situation from Zanetti's side, indicating that Zanetti really struggled in the left-back position. And Stankovich did not protect him enough, leaving Sanetti in a situation of lone warfare.
Looking back, Mancini's brow gradually frowned.
Seeing Ricardo's long-range shot all the time, and seeing that Belon was injured and replaced by Davis, he slammed his thigh.
Before being replaced, Belon made a total of 39 passes, only one of which was passed to the Brazilian.
And how many Brazilians have Inter Milan played? 3 people! And 2 of them are in the frontcourt!
No wonder the ball was rarely passed forward when Belon was present! Even if Ricardo and Adriano are clearly in a good position, Belon will not pass the ball!
This shows what?
Is the contradiction in the dressing room so serious?
He continued to look down. Pay close attention to Ricardo's movement and handle the ball. While watching, he could not help nodding.
Even though I have watched it on the spot, now through the video, it feels different. But there is also an adjective: pleasing to the eye.
Every time Ricardo handles the ball, the action is so pleasing. This is the characteristic of Brazilian players. In contrast, Adriano really doesn't look like a Brazilian.
From the running point of view, Ricardo is also significantly more agile than Adriano.
Although Adriano's physical fitness is dominant and his impact is stronger in front of the penalty area, Ricardo poses no less than a threat to his opponent.
Always seeing Totti score a direct free kick, Inter Milan leading 4: 3, he replaced Ricardo, at this time Mancini was fully focused, trying to find problems in Inter Milan defense.
Over time, his brows grew darker and deeper.
No rules, no layers, no mutual protection, this is the current defense of Inter Milan.
Until watching the full game, he looked back, this time instead of watching it for a second, but dragging from time to time.
With the help of the video, look for the current problems of Inter Milan.
Offense wins fans and defense wins championship.
Now Inter Milan's attack line is definitely the top in the world, and it is no exaggeration to say that it is the number one in the world.
But the defense is ...
How to adjust it?
Next was International Match Day, and Mancini's team gained some respite.
The lack of Ronaldo's Brazil team, with Adriano and Ricardo as the starting striker, Ronaldinho and Kaka sit in the midfield, the luxurious lineup played a good record, 3: 0 and 2: A score of 0 defeated Venezuela and Colombia and continued to lead the South American division of the World Cup qualifiers.
Back in Italy, Ricardo and Adriano continued nonstop, playing with Udinese at home.
In this game, Inter's starter has changed again. Belon is sitting on the bench. Stankovic and Cambiasso sit in the midfield. Left-wing forward Emre, right-wing forward Van der Meade, and forwards Ricardo and Adriano's partner.
In the first half, Ricardo passed the shot and made achievements. Adriano scored twice. Inter Milan lead 3: 0. In the second half, Martins, who came off the bench, scored another goal, and eventually the team defeated the opponent 4: 1.
This is the first time since this season that Inter Milan's performance was not so frightening for the fans, it established the advantage early and smoothly maintained it to the end without letting the fans ride a roller coaster.
On October 21, Inter Milan ushered in the UEFA Champions League group stage again. They challenged La Liga champion Valencia last season at the Mestaia stadium.
Mancini once again challenged the starting lineup. Goalkeeper Fontana, right-back Cordoba, left-back Favalli, and central defender are Materazzi and Burdiso returning from injury. Stankovic on the right, Emre on the left, and the striker still chooses Ricardo and Adriano.
Valencia's ability to win the La Liga title last season is certainly not an underdog. The frontcourt combination of Divayo, Aimar, and Angulo is the God in La Liga to stop the God, and the Buddha to stop the Buddha.
However, Inter Milan has been anti-customers from the beginning, and Ricardo and Adriano are very active in the frontcourt.
Mancini talked to Zanetti once, hoping Zanetti would persuade Belon. He also didn't know the result of the exchange between Zanetti and Belon. In order to prevent Belon from sending cannonballs to the two Brazilian forwards, Mancini asked Stankovic and Emre to put more **** in the game. Pass forward.
The two players faithfully performed his request.
In the 7th minute, Stankovic kicked the ball into the penalty area, and Ricardo headed the goal slightly out of the goal, scaring Valencia to quickly recover.
Valencia's counterattack was also very threatening. In the 15th minute, Aimar made a cross after a breakthrough on the right side. Diwayo's close shot was saved by veteran Fontana with one hand. The goal kick was inevitable, but Fontana still responded, making the ball incredible.
This was also the most threatening attack in Valencia.
Subsequently, the game completely fell into the track of Inter Milan. In the 29th minute, Emre spurred the attack. Stankovic passed the ball and Adriano volleyed slightly left-footed.
In the 32nd minute, Ricardo gave the ball to his partner after breaking through. Adriano tried to break through the last line of defense of Valencia. Torres blocked him with a tactical foul.
In the 34th minute, Adriano broke the ball with three Valencia players in succession, and then divided the ball in the penalty area. Ricardo took the ball and followed by a heel, and Emre's follow-up shot slightly missed.
In the 39th minute, Adriano made a cross after a breakthrough on the left. Ricardo did not waste a chance this time. He pushed it gently with his right foot arch in front of the door, and the ball hit the net.
Inter Milan entered the intermission with a score of 1: 0.
In the first half, Belon did not pass the ball to the combination of Ricardo and Adriano.
But Mancini didn't say anything, just glanced at Belon deeply.
His heart is full of regrets: If the Brazilian gang and the Argentine gang can get along in harmony, how powerful this Inter Milan will be.
Just two minutes into the second half Stankovic broke Valencia's door with a hammer, and assisted him with Favalli.
Two minutes later, Inter Milan launched the offensive again. Adriano suddenly kicked the cross after dribbling on the right side of the penalty area. Torres headered the ball but did not push the ball far. Ricardo deftly turned to catch the ball and jumped up. A sideways volley volleyed the ball into the upper right corner of the goal.
After scoring this goal, Ricardo did not get up late to celebrate. After finishing the shooting action, he collided with Torres and fell to the ground. Torres was all over him.
The team doctor quickly entered the field and took Ricardo out of the field for examination. I saw that Ricardo's left shoulder had swelled.
"He can't continue the game," team doctor Kombi told Mancini. "It should be a shoulder ligament strain. It could also be dislocation. In the worst case, it may be a large nodule avulsion. In that case, it will have to stop Two months. "
Mancini concealed his anxiety: "Let's pray is not the worst."
When Ronaldo was injured, Ricardo was injured again, which is even worse.
