In the second game of the devil's schedule, Inter Milan beat Leverkusen at home, making a good start for the Champions League group stage. In another game, Deportivo defeated Arsenal easily 2-0 at home, bursting out. Before the game, the media generally believed that this might be a draw, but Super Deporti Milan's strength is superb, and the other three teams seem to be close to each other. There is no way to tell who will have the last laugh.

In another group match on the same day, Real Madrid narrowly beat the dark horse Sparta Prague at home 3:2 away, while Panasinaux and Boavista drew 0:0.

After the game, the media believed that the first round of the Champions League group stage was uneventful, none of the strong teams fell into the gutter, and the underdogs did not have a good show of counterattack. Compared with the peripheral group stage, this can be said to be a comeback round of order.

The major media have praised Inter Milan's dominance in the game.

"Jiang Mu attacks one point, but pharmaceutical companies can hardly make up for their shortcomings"

"Placente is blown up, Inter Milan grabs the opponent's nose"

"Two great strikers show their power, Inter Milan smashes the pharmaceutical factory with 4 goals"

"Leverkusen have no chance, Inter wins the opener"

"Jiang Mu: Victory Makes Us Confident"

……

The praise from the media, the team's winning streak, and the increasing reputation, none of these made the players of Inter Milan lose their way. For the huge ship of Inter Milan, Jiang Mu is the captain at the helm. As long as Jiang Mu doesn't lose his way, This giant ship will not go on a crooked path.He knows the slightest bit, if a player has a little bit of underestimation, he will pour cold water on it. Just as the player wants to play a big game, Jiang Mu will put you on the bench immediately, so that you can wake up, recognize who you are and how much you are. How thick and long, this allows Inter Milan to always maintain a united and enterprising spirit, constantly moving from victory to victory.

After the UEFA Champions League, Serie A followed. Inter Milan ushered in the declining strong team Fiorentina at home.This game is still not very important to Inter Milan. They are still the leaders after losing. No.2 Chievo is five points behind them, but for Fiorentina, every game is a key battle, because they are still relegated Wandering in the zone, if they don't want to return to the second division again, they have to work hard against Fiorentina every game, especially against a team like Inter Milan. Winning will boost morale.

Mancini was also encouraging the players before the game, saying that Inter Milan is not invincible, the important thing is to have confidence. Now for Fiorentina, the most important thing is not lack of money, nor the loss of core players, but Morale and confidence are gone, otherwise, with Fiorentina's lineup, they won't be hovering in the relegation zone.

It is true that Fiorentina left Rui Costa, Toldo, and Batty, but they still have Mijatovic, Gonz, Di Livio, and Amoruso, There is also Pierini, and Coyce, but Mancini has forgotten that morale and confidence do not exist in isolation. Without strong financial backing, without a good management team, without future and goals, This level of confidence and morale was impossible.

Coming to Inter Milan's home court, Fiorentina's players did put up a tenacious resistance in the first 40 minutes, but after Recoba scored the first goal in the local 43 minutes, Fiorentina became anxious and angry again , At the beginning of the second half, the focus was not enough, Vieri scored in the first minute, then Fiorentina became demoralized, the team's will was not clear, the tactical thinking was confused, the players did not obey the command, and finally Inter Milan scored again. Two goals, and finally defeated Fiorentina 1:4, pushing the opponent to the relegation zone.

This round of Roma and Chievo continued to maintain a strong upward momentum. They both defeated their opponents and continued to catch up with Inter Milan in the standings. Juventus lost again after winning the previous round. , they were defeated by Lazio 1:0, and the gap between them and the leader expanded to more than 10 points. For Juventus, it is no longer meaningful to catch up every day. The important thing is to do a good job in their own construction. Without this group of superstars, they will have the opportunity to return to the winning team again.

The devil's schedule has played three games. Inter Milan has one draw and two wins. Although they have not thrown away their opponents, as the leader, Inter Milan has not been narrowed by their opponents. This is a great victory for them.

The last round of the Coppa Italia quarter-final match is the penultimate match of this devil's schedule, and it is also the most important one. This match directly determines whether Inter Milan can continue in the Coppa Italia.

Of course Udinese is not a strong team, but the cup has always been a hotbed of upsets, the tyrants don’t pay attention, the small and medium clubs’ desire for honor, and the football association’s policy tilt, this makes the Coppa Italia always appear one way or another Surprisingly, when fans appreciate the orderly league with almost no changes, they will inevitably feel that it is too flat and not exciting enough. At this time, the Coppa Italia has become a spice to keep the fans' enthusiasm for football.

The Coppa Italia is a powerful nightmare, which is not only talked about by small and medium-sized players, but also a guarantee of their confidence. Facts have proved that confidence is sometimes more important than strength on the football field.

For this game, Inter Milan must win, but there is no worry about relegation. Udinese, who has little hope in the European war, does not want to miss the good opportunity to advance to the quarterfinals. The 2:1 victory in the first round is not easy. Obtained, especially in the face of a giant like Inter Milan.

Unlike last season, Jiang Mu’s opponent this season is no longer De Canio. The Englishman Hodgson has replaced De Canio. He led Switzerland to the World Cup finals in 94. There is no doubt about his coaching level. When he took over Udinese this summer, the club had just sold the team star Fiore, and the strength of the team was greatly damaged, but Hodgson still put The team took the ninth position in the league, not only reached the top 16 in the Coppa Italia, but also defeated Inter Milan in the first round of the quarter-finals. It is recognized by the outside world that he led the team to achieve quite good results.

But Hodgson's seat has not been very stable, because he has a bad relationship with the club's founder Pozzo. Pozzo wants to find an opportunity to fire Hodgson, but Hodgson's record is very good. Pozzo is worried that the fans will be dissatisfied, so he has been waiting. Hodgson lost, which is a lot of pressure on Hodgson.

In previous Serie A leagues, some people were busy for the championship, some were fighting for relegation, and some people hoped to be in the Champions League. If it weren’t for the deliberate attention of the media, people would almost forget that there is such a thing as the Coppa Italia .

However, the situation this season is slightly different, because Inter Milan has almost surpassed the dust.

Under such circumstances, many giants hope to use this unnoticed Coppa Italia as a "consolation prize" this season, and send their main players to play, and Inter Milan is aiming at the Triple Crown, and they don't want to give up. This season's Coppa Italia has become extremely popular. Not only some tabloids pay attention to him, but famous newspapers such as "Gazzetta dello Sport", "Republic" and "Roma Sport" also use a lot of space to promote the second round of the quarter-finals. round.

The match between Inter Milan and Udinese is undoubtedly the focus of this round of knockout rounds. The media began to reiterate Inter Milan's three major goals, guessing whether Udinese can stop the unstoppable Inter Milan.

Hodgson, whose position is in shambles, needs constant victories to justify himself, defeat the excuse of the Pozzo family to fire him, and at the same time lay a solid foundation for his next job.Before the game, he called on the Udinese players to prepare for the battle.

"If there is anything more glorious than beating Inter Milan, it is to beat Inter Milan twice in a row. I admit that it is difficult, but didn't no one believe it when we beat Inter Milan the first time? This season Our only hope for the championship is the Coppa Italia. No one can deny this. If you don’t want to have nothing to do in the second half, you must go all out now. We are the earliest club in Serie A, but in our honor room It's still empty, it needs a trophy, and I hope you can help the fans achieve this 100-year-old wish."

I have to admit that Hodgson's speech was very provocative. This remark brought a huge response among Udinese fans. Countless fans who were planning to rest also gave up the rest time, bought tickets, and prepared to go to Mea. Cheers to Udinese.

Udinese's main players and stars also expressed their support for Hodgson, hoping that he would stay and lead Udinese to create brilliance.

The main forward Mucci, who has scored 8 goals, said: "Hodgson is a passionate coach. Under his leadership, we have achieved a good record. The Coppa Italia is tasteless for the giants, but it is a big dinner for us. , we created a miracle in the first round, and now we hope to continue our dream."

The main midfielder Pinji said: "Challenging Inter Milan away is a terrible thing. Fortunately, we only need a draw. This gives us a little more confidence. I believe the head coach will find a way to deal with Inter Milan."

Facing Udinese, who were ready to make an upset, Inter Milan did not feel a little pressure. Jiang Mu said lightly, "We took a nap in the first round, and we will find them with profit and loss in the second round. Come back, I have a lot of respect for Coach Hodgson, but if our dreams destroy their dreams, it can only be said that the reality is too cruel."
