But Juventus can be spared and get a full week of rest. They have been eliminated in the Italian Cup.
曼 Before this game, Mancini also hesitated for a long time. Let's give up, you have already reached the semi-finals. If you grit your teeth, you may win the championship. It is a pity to give up.
I say don't give up. If you try hard to consume too much physical energy in this game, and even cause the main players to be injured, which will affect the ownership of the league championship, it will be worth the loss.
In the end, Mancini decided to adopt a defensive 442 formation, and the midfield hoarded 4 players with strong defensive capabilities. The striker enabled the combination of Martins and Cruz. He is not demanding and only asks for an away draw.
It is impossible for Cagliari to compete for the league title and no chance to enter the European War Zone, so they are very eager for the Italian Cup championship, winning this championship will allow them to be sent to the UEFA Cup.
Therefore, they played very tenaciously at home, but Inter Milan still firmly controlled the situation. In the end, Cruz's goal helped the two teams draw 1: 1. Inter Milan completed Mancini's strategic goal and obtained a goal. Valuable away goal.
晚 On the evening of May 15th, Inter Milan returned home to defeat Livorno 3: 0, Ronnie and Ricardo each contributed a goal, captain Zanetti's small angle shot was icing on the cake, the team scored 82 points.
Juventus defeated Parma 2-0 and continued to bite Inter Milan with a 1-point gap.
Juventus can rest for another week, while Inter Milan only rested for two and a half days. They faced Cagliari at home on the evening of May 18.
As long as this match is won, or 0-0 tie, Inter Milan can enter the finals, so Mancini no longer stays, sacrificing the 433 formation again, the core players all enter the battle.
C. Zanetti, Cambiasso and Stankovic sit in the midfield. Although they are not creative enough, they are all stubborn and defensive players. Stankovic also has a long shot.
As for the organization of the offense, Mancini simply gave up the delicate organization and let the midfielders get the ball and give it to the three forwards with super personal ability. These forwards cooperate with each other or use their personal ability to solve the battle.
Cagliari could not resist Inter Milan's offensive. They lost 1: 4 and Ricardo, Ronaldo, Cordoba and Cambiasso each scored a goal.

The Germans always like to antagonize the English, but this time Beckenbauer said: "The cup is different from the league, and teams with better defense often get better results. Throughout the Inter Milan game, they have achieved a lot Goals, but there are also many low-level turnovers and Liverpool have the ability to seize these opportunities. I think Liverpool can finally win the championship. "
Germany's football emperor is optimistic about Liverpool, and Brazil's ball king is the same. "Both teams are strong and have their own characteristics. Inter Milan is stronger, Ronaldo is no worse than when I was young, and Adriano and Ricardo also have Potential becomes the core of the Brazilian team after Ronaldo. However, the game is not just based on the strength of the players on both sides. There are more factors that determine the outcome of the game. I think Liverpool's preparations are better. More physical advantage. I think Liverpool can finally win the Champions League. "
Ricardo was a little nervous at first, always worried that Istanbul Miracle Night will be staged in this time and space. As soon as Bailey said, he immediately celebrated with Ronaldo.
Thank you, Bailey. Liverpool drank this poisoned milk, and even if it didn't die, there would be only half a life left.

Xi Weisan's main force is Toldo, Ricardo and Captain Zanetti.
找到 Before the match, Mancini found Ricardo alone and said, "Because of tactical needs, in the Champions League final, I don't intend to make you debut."
Ricardo felt sad for a while but just nodded: "I see, Robert, I respect your decision."
"It's not that I think you're not good enough, it's tactical needs, Ricardo. You are an important member of my plan, but in the Champions League final, the team needs to focus more on defense. Players who like to play defense. And Adriano is stronger than you, and he has an advantage against Liverpool's strong guard. "
卡 Ricardo has different opinions on this, but he can only reserve his opinions. "Don't explain so much to me, Robert. I'm always ready, and when you need me to play, I must have the best form."
Mancini smiled with satisfaction: "I like your attitude. You will be a stranger and I will let you play in the second half to disrupt Liverpool's rhythm."
After a pause, he also said: "The next league is not to be missed. I can't give up the Champions League, but I also don't want to give up the league. Next game against Sampdoria, I hope you can start and give the team a victory. "
Ricardo lifted his spirit and said aloud, "Leave it to me, and let Ronnie take a good rest. I will solve the opponent."
"That's good, it's up to you."
Although it is a pity not to start in the Champions League final, Ricardo is determined to do his own thing first to help Inter Milan consolidate its advantage in the league.
