There are many football meccas in the world.
Such as Barcelona’s Camp Nou; such as Madrid’s Santiago Bernabeu; such as Manchester’s Old Trafford; such as Liverpool’s Anfield; and such as the Emirates Stadium in North London.
These courses are not only very luxurious and magnificent, but also because there have been many shining stars and legends have been born in them.
There is no doubt that the Meazza Stadium in Milan, Italy, is also a holy place in the minds of many fans. Compared with the home stadiums of other giants, Meazza is obviously more special.
Meazza is the only stadium among all the giants that is shared by two giants.
In the hearts of AC Milan, this is the San Siro where Maldini, Inzaghi, Kaká and Pirlo have emerged, and countless legendary stories have been born.
However, after the Calciopoli incident, another name for this stadium gradually began to become more resounding - Meazza.
Yes, this stadium has two names.
For some historical reasons, AC Milan fans call it San Siro, and Inter Milan fans call it Meazza.
However, just like the "noisy neighbor" in Manchester who was once described by Ferguson as a "noisy neighbor" eventually turned into a blue moon shining in the night sky. When Manchester was mentioned, people thought more of Manchester City than Manchester United.
"Whether this stadium belongs to San Siro or San Siro, everything depends on results. In football, the best way to prove yourself is undoubtedly to achieve some good results in the Champions League.
Hello everyone, welcome to the Canale5 channel to watch the live broadcast of the quarter-finals of the 2007-2008 Champions League knockout round. I'm your host Andy, and with me is your old friend Samuel. "
The spring sun is warm and the wind is blowing thousands of miles.
At the Meazza Stadium, where the crowd was crowded and the atmosphere was full of excitement, the host Andres in a black suit stood in front of the camera in the corner of the stands.
After hearing his partner's remarks, the host Samuel, who was also wearing a black suit, looked at the camera and nodded: "That's right, strength speaks for itself in football. Without strength, no matter how fierce you shout, it's useless.
But (laughing), Andy, I feel like Inter Milan’s luck is really amazing. If I remember correctly, it seems that starting from 2004, they will run into Arsenal every year in the Champions League round of 16. I really don’t know if this is a good thing or a bad thing for them. "
"Haha, indeed."
Host Andy smiled and nodded, "Arsenal has been recognized as a strong team in recent years. Except for Barcelona two years ago, which was called the second dream team by fans, Arsenal has almost swept all the Champions League matches. Inter Milan bumps into Arsenal in the top 16 every year. This is indeed their bad luck. But!
Every player desires revenge against the opponent who defeated him! I think this year may be a good opportunity for Inter Milan to get revenge. "
"Yes. Arsenal has suffered a lot of personnel changes this season. Both Modric and Hummels have left the team one after another. This is definitely a big blow to Arsenal's midfield and backfield, and even the overall Tactical playing methods have changed a lot.
Of course, their new additions Marcelo and Rakitic, including the central defender Thiago Silva who was just signed in the winter window, performed well, but to be honest, they have experienced relatively few tough battles, and they are so Being young, it is unknown how well he will perform in a competition like the knockout rounds of the Champions League. "
The host Samuel is an Arsenal fan, and he couldn't help but sound worried at this time.
Andy answered: "This is indeed a big problem, but let me tell you, the key to this game is still Chen Mo. This season, Inter Milan coach Mancini's usual formation is 4312.
This formation itself is very strong in suppressing the middle, and their 3 is the three defensive gatekeepers of Vieira, Cambiasso and Zanetti.
With the three of them sitting in the middle, I think even Chen Mo would have a hard time dealing with it, but this Arsenal team relies on Chen Mo more than ever before. Once he cannot be effective, Arsenal's entire offense will be in trouble. All will be paralyzed. "
"You are right, and more importantly, facing Inter Milan, Arsenal cannot defend against counterattacks. They cannot guard against Ibrahimovic and Vieira, who is very good at scoring headers from behind.
If Arsenal wants to win this game, or in other words, even if Arsenal just wants to get a draw on the road and return to home in the second round to decide the winner, they must continue to attack in this game, which means that Chen Mo must be in Opportunity found in the middle. Well, to be honest, I think the burden on him is a bit too heavy. "
"There is nothing we can do about it. I think Chen Mo chose to stay at Arsenal when faced with an offer of around 200 million euros from Manchester City and Real Madrid. He should have been mentally prepared to face this situation now. And
To be honest, what I am looking forward to most in this game is the confrontation between Chen Mo and Inter Milan's three midfielders. After all, as we all know, since Chen Mo decided to become a father, he doesn't know what happened. His physique has become stronger and stronger, and his playing style has become more and more violent. Presumably, the middle lane of this game will definitely turn into a meat grinder battlefield full of violent aesthetics! "
"That's right. Sorry, now that players from both sides have entered the stadium, let's take a look at the starting lineup."
.
"They have probably been preparing for this game for half a season."
The sun is shining brightly, and the spring breeze with a hint of coolness in February is causing ripples on the green lawn.
A little itchy.
The short, ear-length hair that was cut just last week slightly touched the ears. Chen Mo, who was standing near the center circle, shook his head subconsciously, but his attention was not on his hair, nor on the noisy abuse in the stands around him. A pair of deep eyes Constantly scanning the faces of the opposite Inter Milan players, especially focusing on Vieira, Cambiaso and Zanetti.
The commentator talked a lot, but what he said was correct.
The tactical play of this Inter Milan 4312 is indeed more restrained than Arsenal.
The three midfielders stand in the middle, and these three midfielders are all top players who can go down in history. Even Chen Mo is very difficult to deal with.
But the difficulty is not just the offensive end.
Defensively, Arsenal are still in trouble.
The main reason is that
Thinking of this, Chen Mo turned his head slightly and looked at Eto'o and Ibrahimovic, who were standing in the center circle waiting for the whistle to kick off, as well as Deco not far behind them.
Needless to say, Ibrahimovic needs to say more. If he is given the life of Cristiano Ronaldo, he will have a chance to compete for the top two in the contemporary era, and a high center forward like him, who is 1.95 meters tall, is very restrained against Arsenal.
Even Chiellini, the tallest player on Arsenal's defense, is nearly ten centimeters shorter than him, making it difficult to defend against high-altitude balls.
The high-altitude ball cannot be defended, which makes it impossible for Arsenal to sit in the backcourt and defend defensively. They must control more of the ball and try to push the offensive and defensive positions of both sides into the frontcourt.
However, the consequence of the formation pressing forward is that there is a huge space in the rear, and Inter Milan has attacking midfielder Deco and the cheetah Eto'o.
After the Champions League ended last year, Deco and Eto'o, who had performed poorly, were purged by Guardiola and sold to Inter Milan.
Being kicked out.
But sometimes a player is sold not because he is not strong enough, but because the player's abilities and characteristics do not conform to the new coach's tactical philosophy.
The most typical example is when Guardiola sold Ibrahimovic.
Is that because Ibrahimovic is not strong enough?
Just because at that stage Guardiola's tactical system did not require a high center forward.
The strength of the combination of Deco and Eto'o is still very terrifying, especially in the counterattack stage.
Deco's passing ability is absolutely top-notch, and Eto'o is called the cheetah. You can imagine how fast he is.
You can't defend from behind, and if you press forward, you can easily be beaten by Eto'o.
There is no doubt that this game will be very difficult for Arsenal.
It's not just difficult for Arsenal. Inter Milan currently ranks first in the Serie A standings, leaving behind their city rival AC Milan by more than 20 points!
It can be said that Inter Milan, which has just completed two consecutive Serie A championships and is about to win three consecutive championships this year, is the well-deserved overlord of Serie A in this era!
but
Standing in the stadium, thoughts were swirling in his mind, the spring breeze gently caressed his long hair, and he took a deep breath to adjust his mood. When the noise of the fans in his ears gradually faded away, Chen Mo opened his eyes again.
The eyes reveal tenacity, determination, and a hint of ferocity!
"Serie A overlord?"
"I'm fighting the overlord!"
