Chapter 641 The Battle for the Championship (1)

Update time:2013-04-28

On May 5th, the 34th round of Serie A is also the last round of Serie A. As the most influential league in Europe, today the world-famous league champion will also be decided, and the remaining two Champions League seats will also be decided.

and two UEFA Cup seats, as well as two relegation places.

The nine games in the final round started at the same time, with the highlight match between Inter Milan and Lazio being refereed by the famous golden whistle Collina.

for

Inter Milan's game will not only determine the ownership of the league championship, but also determine whether they can break the league record of 54 unbeaten games held by their city rival AC Milan.

It can be said that if they win, Inter Milan will win everything; if they lose, Inter Milan will lose at least half of their honor.

Before the game, Jiang Mu issued a championship declaration to the players and fans of Inter Milan, calling on fans from all over the world to come to Rome to cheer for Inter Milan. Moratti also promised heavy rewards to the players of Inter Milan. If Inter Milan can successfully defend the title, every player will win the championship.

Each player will receive an average bonus of 200,000 euros.

Honor, money, fans' expectations, and the dream of achieving dominance, all of these stimulate Inter Milan's players to fight for the championship.

After selling many of their main players this season, Lazio's performance has dropped sharply, and they are now reduced to competing with Bologna for the last UEFA Cup spot.

In the past, the UEFA Cup berth was really not taken seriously by Lazio, but now, for the European war, Lazio has to fight Inter Milan. In addition to the UEFA Cup berth, Lazio also needs to win this game.

To encourage ourselves, give players and fans confidence, and prepare for rebuilding next season.

Before the game, Lazio club president Cragnotti suddenly issued an ultimatum to current head coach Zaccheroni. If the team failed to defeat Inter Milan in the last game, Zaccheroni would receive a resignation order.

At the same time, news spread that Mancini, a former Lazio player who coached Fiorentina this season, may return to Lazio to take charge.

Since taking office in September last year, Zaccheroni's coaching performance at Lazio has been disappointing, including a 1-5 defeat against city rivals Roma. Lazio fans have long been calling for Zaccheroni to be sacked.

, but Cragnotti said that frequent changes of coaches are detrimental to the team, and he will consider whether to continue to retain Zaccheroni at least until the end of this season.

Now that the season has not yet ended, Cragnotti issued an ultimatum to Zaccheroni like this. I don't know what is wrong in the mind of this president who is always happy with success and moody.

Cragnotti's ultimatum undoubtedly had a major impact on this game. Originally, some players did not care about the UEFA Cup seats. This year is the World Cup in Japan and South Korea. Many players thought that they would have to play in the World Cup for a month during their vacation.

After the start of the season, if we fight on two fronts again, we will still play this useless League Cup. It is really not cost-effective. It is better not to play. Now the boss gives an order and everyone has to cheer up. In case the boss gets angry,

I'm just afraid that I won't be able to keep my job.

Inter Milan is currently only two points ahead of Juventus, and 20,000 fans will go to Rome's Olimpico Stadium to cheer them on. It is hoped that Jiang Mu's team will be able to take all three points from Crazio and ensure that the championship will not be left behind.

If Inter Milan loses and Juventus defeats Udinese at home, Inter Milan will repeat the tragedy of losing the championship in the last round!

If Inter Milan and Lazio draw, and Juventus wins, Inter Milan will compete with Juventus in the playoffs for the championship.

Before the two rounds, Inter Milan was filled with optimism about winning the championship, and the city government was also preparing for a series of celebrations to win the championship in advance. Compared with the blind optimism before the two rounds, it is currently replaced by suffocating caution and nervousness:

No one is planning the celebration party in advance, and Inter Milan has also implemented a press lock. No one will make any predictions about winning the championship to the media, lest they mislead Inter Milan supporters and let their emotions affect the players.

The championship battle is in one round, and the emotions of Inter Milan fans are also very contradictory, often hovering on the edge of optimism and pessimism. The latter emotion is what Inter Milan needs most at the moment, and the entire team is focusing their energy on this.

The last 90 minutes of the season.

The biggest benefit for Inter Milan is the contribution of Cannavaro. Jiang Mu no longer has to worry about selecting the center back position like in the previous games. Although Ronaldo has a slight injury, he should be able to recover in time, and all the main players of Inter Milan can play.

This is a huge benefit.

Lazio's situation is very embarrassing. There is no hope of winning the bid and no worries about relegation. They only have one useless UEFA Cup seat. The only motivation to support their participation is the order of club president Cragnotti, because after the end of this season, the World Cup will start soon, and many

The players are all the main players of the national team, and it is obviously unrealistic to ask them to go all out.

Inter Milan has two wins and four draws in the past six rounds, and its momentum has weakened, so it is gradually being caught up by Juventus. Lazio has four wins and two losses (in order of win, win, loss, win, win, loss), and also has

With a world-class defense composed of stars like Nesta, Stam, and Montero, it is not easy for Inter Milan to win.

Previously, Sport Italia had predicted that Lazio would probably defeat Inter Milan 2-1 amidst the cheers of 80,000 fans, extinguishing Inter Milan's dream of defending the title and sending Juventus to the championship.

the podium.

The game started at 7 o'clock in the evening. In the morning, Inter Milan fans poured into the city of Rome continuously. Although Lazio gave Inter Milan 20,000 tickets after negotiations with Inter Milan, this was far from meeting the requirements of Inter Milan fans.

, there are many fans who hope to come to Rome to try their luck. Tickets for Lazio and Inter Milan on the black market have been speculated to more than 1,000 euros. There are also some fans who have nothing even if they cannot buy tickets. They just hope to be close to their teams.

Feel the joy of the team's title defense for the first time.

After Inter Milan's training in the afternoon, Jiang Mu attended the last press conference before the game. At the press conference, Jiang Mu's confidence gave fans reassurance.

"The last game will determine the championship. Such a game will definitely be difficult. Every player will bear a lot of psychological pressure. However, I believe that our players will be able to withstand the pressure and defeat Lazio, because no matter how difficult it is,

It is also easier than last season. Last season we were able to complete a great comeback under such circumstances, and this season we will not lose the championship."

"Since the beginning of this season, Inter Milan has been at the top of the league. We have reached this position by relying on our own strength. To win the league championship, we cannot expect Lazio to perform poorly. We must conquer our opponents with our excellent performance.

, showing the domineering and confidence that I had in previous games. In addition, an important reason that makes me feel confident is that we control our own destiny. As long as we win, the championship will be ours."

There were still two hours before the start of the game, and fans had already entered the stadium one after another. An hour later, the stadium was basically full, but there were still fans arriving in a steady stream around the Olimpia Stadium in Rome.

At this time, in the visiting team's locker room, Jiang Mu is reducing the pressure on the players. At this time, tactics are not the most important. He has been playing for more than a year. He knows how to play even if he closes his eyes. What is important is performance.

, The mental state is related to the performance of the players. It will not work if they are not nervous, and it will not work if they are too nervous.

The locker room was playing Beethoven's "Symphony of Destiny", and the TV was showing footage of Inter Milan's match against Lazio in the past two seasons. The short film was played for about ten minutes, and the time was already 6:50. Jiang Mu

Turn off the TV and music and give final encouragement to the players.

"...You don't need to fight with your lives in this game, because we are already stronger than them. As long as we play normally, we can beat Lazio; our opponent is not Lazio, but the devil in your heart, Lazio's opponent."

It’s not us, it’s Bologna. Therefore, our tactics today are based on me. If we play my tactical requirements and our normal level, we will win. Keep a cool head and a meticulous attitude. This is what you have to do today.

What we do...we must score early in the first half, and the sooner we score, the better..."

Jiang Mu's speech was not enthusiastic. He was not prepared to let the players go all out, because in these ten days, Inter Milan will play three finals. If there is still room for a buffer, then it is this game. This game only requires

If there is a draw, the game can be postponed until later, so that Inter Milan can still play the Coppa Italia and Champions League finals with confidence. If this game is won desperately and the players are scarred, it is very likely that they will not be able to play in the following Coppa Italia and Champions League finals.

I became very passive in the finals.

After Jiang Mu spoke, the referee Collina also blew the whistle to call the players out. Jiang Mu stood at the door, shook hands with the players, hugged them, and patted their backs in turn. Although Jiang Mu said nothing more, the players

They all also felt the heavy burden on their shoulders.

With ten minutes left before the game, the commentators finally got the lineups of Inter Milan and Lazio. Both teams attached great importance to the game and never submitted their lineups.

Lazio's formation is 4-4-2: Marchegiani/Negro, Nesta, Cotto, Pancaro/Bobowski, Gianni Keda, Liverani, Stankovic

/Crespo, Lopez, this lineup is currently the strongest lineup that Lazio can field. It has no bright spots and no weaknesses.

The lineup of Inter Milan is also quite satisfactory, with a 4312 formation, both offensive and defensive, goalkeeper Toldo, four defenders Zanetti, Cordoba, Materazzi, Cannavaro. Three defensive midfielders: Dibia

Neo, Pirlo, Farinos, attacking midfielder: Ronaldinho, two forwards: Vieri and Ronaldo.

Inter Milan's on-site commentator Scapini didn't say anything when he received Lazio's lineup, but Inter Milan's lineup surprised Scapini. However, the surprise was not that Jiang Mu's formation was too unusual, but that

It's so normal that it makes people wonder if it was the arrangement made by assistant coach Baresi.
