magic coach

Regarding the European war, the time has to be set back before the winter break and before Tardelli. At that time, in the UEFA Champions League qualifying match, Inter Milan led by Silver Fox Lippi was defeated by the Swedish champion Helsingborg (note, not Rosenborg ) was upset and eliminated, which directly led to Lippi's dismissal.

The Champions League was eliminated, and Inter Milan had to commit itself to the UEFA Cup.But even in the sub-heavyweight UEFA Cup, the Tardelli Nerazzurri stumbled. They were almost eliminated by the Dutch mid-range team Arnhem in the second round of the UEFA Cup. Check 0:0, the opponent in Arnhem scored a goal in the second round. In the crisis, Croatian defender Simic received a pass from Seedorf in the penalty area and scored a goal. Inter Milan advanced because of more away goals.

联盟杯第三轮首回合对阵德甲劲旅柏林赫塔，首回合0:0，第二回合依靠土耳其she手哈坎-苏克比赛结束前1分钟攻入致胜一球，惊险的以2比1的总比分晋级16强。

In the eighth-final draw before the winter break, Inter Milan was unanimously considered to have drawn the top lottery, because their opponent Alaves was a rookie who played in Europe for the first time.

Of course, until now, only two days before the game, Inter Milan is still favored by everyone, but Jiang Mu knows that if he hadn't entered Inter Milan, Tardelli's Nerazzurri in his previous life would have been defeated by this La Liga team. The dark horse was eliminated, and it caused the fans of Inter Milan to defect, but there was no big trouble, because there were very few fans in that game, and only 8 people came to the 9 San Siro stadium. It can be seen that the fans are already sad to what extent.

In addition to Inter Milan being the top draw, Barcelona is also a good draw. Their opponent is the Athens Aek team in Greece. The most unfortunate ones are of course Roma, which ranks first in Serie A, and Liverpool, one of England's four giants. The battle between Rome and Liverpool is also very sensational in the Champions League, so their game has also become the focus of the quarter-finals.

The opponents of Parma, another team in Serie A, are not weak. They are the Eredivisie giants Eindhoven. The other matchups are Porto (Portugal) vs. Nantes (France), Stuttgart (Germany) vs. Vigo- Celta Vigo (Spain), Slavia Prague (Czech Republic) vs Kaiserslautern (Germany), Vallecano (Spain) vs Bordeaux (France).

Alaves Football Club is a football club located in Victoria, Basque Country, northern Spain. They are a typical small club with a small stadium, low reputation, low income, and a short history in the First Division. The only record they are proud of is the last one. Ranked No.6 in La Liga this season.From the outsiders' point of view, there is no suspense for such a super slut to challenge the big international. The only thing to watch is how the sturdy Basque will resist the rape of Inter Milan at home.

Facing the brutal Jiang-style Inter Milan, Alaves coach Mane was a bit lacking in confidence. He was not worried about losing, but worried that after two rounds, the team would output a double-digit score, because under the leadership of Jiang Mu, this team Inter Milan is too brutal, the minimum score is 3 goals, and it is still a strong Serie A team with excellent defense. In addition to the huge gap in strength, Inter Milan also has the advantage of playing away games first.

Although there is a huge difference in strength, because Inter Milan is the team most likely to be upset in European competitions in recent years, the Spanish media set off smoke bombs before the game in order to prepare for Alaves, and vigorously boasted about Inter Milan's coaches and players. Opponents can be blinded by this.

The Spanish media believes that if Alaves wants to win, he must first stare at Vieri. Vieri, who has scored goals in recent rounds, is the most critical figure in Inter Milan's striker. Maybe he will not face Vieri in the 80 minutes of the game. Liverpool is a threat, but if he is given a chance, the consequences will be disastrous.

The Spanish media praised Moratti for decisively dismissing Tardelli in the middle of the season to introduce Jiang Mu, praised Jiang Mu's magic, and believed that age, seniority, time and nationality did not become obstacles to Jiang Mu's success. Mu has become the spiritual leader of Inter Milan.

Jiang Mu and his disciples flew to Victoria, the capital of Álava province in the Basque Country of Spain under the praise of Italy at home and Spain abroad.

In Spain's 50.6 square kilometers of land, the Basque Country is the most mysterious corner.So far, anthropologists have not figured out where the aborigines here originated, because anthropologists in the Basque Country have not been able to figure out where the aborigines of Basque Country originated; linguists are also puzzled by the Basque language. What language family does it belong to; the existing research only tells us that surrounded by impassable mountains and jungles, the Basque nation has existed in isolation for hundreds of years, and it was not incorporated into Castile until around the 12th century AD The territory of the kingdom

The beautiful and prosperous Basque Country is located in the northwest of Spain. There are 3 great cities: Bilbao, the capital of the province of Vizcaya, San Sebastian, the capital of the province of Gibuscoa, and Victoria, the capital of the province of Álava.

These three cities gave birth to three teams, Alaves in Victoria, Athletic Bilbao in Bilbao, and Real Sociedad in San Sebastian. linked together by a piece of land.

Athletic Bilbao was established the earliest and has the greatest achievements. It has won 8 league titles, 23 cup titles and has never fallen out of the first division. In terms of experience, only Alaves is the worst. The city where they are located is no worse than the other two in terms of economy, population and culture, but football does not have any honor.

The match against Inter Milan greatly mobilized the fighting enthusiasm and passion of the Basque fans. Although the media regarded Inter Milan as aliens and the Legion of Warcraft, the Alaves fans had a strong fighting spirit and were not afraid at all. , when Inter Milan's big-name players landed at the airport, in addition to Inter Milan fans picking up the plane, there were also thousands of Alaves' die-hard fans. Italian is a coward's catchphrase, demonstrated against the players of Inter Milan.

The players of Inter Milan are certainly not intimidated by their opponents. After five consecutive victories, this team has never been so confident. The UEFA Cup has become their biggest goal. It is a pity that they cannot play in the Champions League, otherwise they think they can win Champions League champions are no problem.

"We're here to win."

"Is there any doubt about who will win?"

"We respect our opponents, but we believe in ourselves more."

"Barcelona is the right opponent for us."

……

Facing the reporters who came to interview, the big stars of Inter Milan were full of arrogance and confidence.

However, the head coach of Inter Milan, Jiang Mu, was uncharacteristically low-key. He told reporters that Alaves should not be underestimated. Characters, Inter Milan must not underestimate them because of their small fame, otherwise they will definitely suffer, and even being eliminated is not impossible.

When Jiang Mu said these words, what flashed through his mind was the brilliant record behind this big dark horse in his previous life. During the promotion process, Alaves eliminated Inter Milan 5:3 in the fourth round. The 9-2 defeat of the Bundesliga powerhouse Kaiserslautern, and the final 4:5 loss to the Red Army Liverpool in overtime, the tenacity and blood of the Basques were fully displayed in this UEFA Cup.

But the reporters and fans didn't know, they thought what Jiang Mu said was a compliment, or even an irony.The well-known newspaper in the Basque region, "National", said in a commentary the next day that Jiang Mu satirized Alaves and called on Alaves players to show the blood of the Basques and defend the dignity of Basque football. Mu was a little dumbfounded.

The Hilton Hotel where Inter Milan stayed is near the Plaza Mayor in the city center. This is a large and gorgeous square like the Plaza Mayor in Madrid, and their names are exactly the same.There are dozens of high-rise buildings near the hotel, with a strong modern atmosphere, but it is clean and beautiful, and the greening is also very good.

After warming up at Alaves' Mendizo Rosa Stadium, which can accommodate 9000 people, the team returned to the hotel to have dinner and take a shower, and Jiang Mu held an emergency team meeting.

After all 18 players came to the conference room on the second floor of the hotel, Jiang Mu didn't speak, and assistant coach Baresi didn't say anything either. He just turned on the video recorder and started playing the video for the players.

This is the video of Alaves' promotion in the UEFA Cup. In the first round, Alaves beat Gasinta of the Turkish Super League, 4:3, and Alaves narrowly won. In the second round, Alaves played against Lillers of the Norwegian Super League. In Trom, Alaves beat his opponent 5:3 in the two rounds and advanced.In the third round, Alaves challenged the Swedish giant Rosenborg. In the end, they easily defeated their opponents 4:2 in two easy rounds and reached the top 16.

After the video was played, Jiang Mu gave the players half a minute to think before standing up, wrote down the four numbers 3, 6, 13, and 2.1 on the tactical board, and said: "Three rounds and six games, Alaves scored 13 goals, more than two goals per game. That's how aggressive they are..."

Speaking of this, the players showed disdain on their faces, and they were all discussing absent-mindedly, because they had watched the video. After these five rounds, Inter Milan averaged five goals per game, and their offensive power was horrifying. Do they still climb Aravis?

"Looking at the numbers alone, Alaves is not as powerful as ours, but this must be considered in conjunction with the specific game. Alaves' games are mostly stable in the first round with fewer goals, and the second round. Give it a go, most of the scores are big, such as Rosenberg, 1:1 in the first round, 3:1 in the second round, and Lillestrom, 2:2 in the first round, the second round It was a 3:1 easy win, the first round against Gasinta, 0:0 in the first round, and 4 goals in the second round. Against the Swedish team, how many goals did we score against Helsingborg, and how many goals did Alaves score against Rosenberg, who forced Helsingborg to be stronger?"

Jiang Mu's words touched on Inter Milan's pain point, because they failed to score a goal in shame and were eliminated by their opponents.

Jiang Mu saw that the players were silent, and said: "Look at their games carefully until it is printed in your mind, and then go to sleep, fight the lion with all your strength, and fight the rabbit with all your strength. Never underestimate the enemy."
