The Day I Played with Ronaldo

Chapter 275: Not going to let you start

On the evening of May 12th, Inter Milan was a guest in Sardinia and challenged Cagliari away. This was the first round of the Coppa Italia semi-final.

And Juventus can wait for work and get a whole week of rest. They are already out of the Coppa Italia.

Before this game, Mancini also hesitated for a long time. Let’s just give up, we’ve already reached the semi-finals, if we grit our teeth, we might be able to win the championship, it’s a pity to give up.

Let’s just say don’t give up, if you try your best to consume too much physical energy in this game, and even cause injuries to the main players, which will affect the ownership of the league championship, then the loss outweighs the gain.

In the end, Mancini decided to adopt a defensive 442 formation, hoarding 4 players with strong defensive ability in the midfield, and using the combination of Martins and Cruz in the forward. He is not demanding, only an away draw.

It is impossible for Cagliari to compete for the league championship, and they have no chance to enter the European theater, so they are very eager for the Coppa Italia championship. Winning this championship will allow them to be sent to the UEFA Cup.

So 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 won a goal. Valuable away goals.

On the evening of May 15th, Inter Milan defeated Livorno 3-0 at home. Ronnie and Ricardo each contributed a goal. Captain Zanetti's shot from a small angle was the icing on the cake. The team's points reached 82 points.

Juventus defeated Parma 2:0 and continued to bite Inter Milan with a gap of 1 point.

Juventus can rest for another week, while Inter Milan only rested for 2 and a half days, and they played Cagliari at home on the evening of May 18.

As long as they win this game, or draw 0:0, Inter Milan can enter the final, so Mancini no longer stays strong, and once again resorted to a 433 formation, with all core players playing.

C. Zanetti, Cambiasso and Stankovic sit in the midfield. Although they lack creativity, they are all players with tenacious style and good defensive ability. Stankovic also has a long shot.

As for the organization of the offense, Mancini simply gave up the delicate organization, let the midfielder get the ball and hand it over to the three forwards with super personal abilities in the frontcourt. These forwards cooperate with each other or use their personal abilities to solve the battle.

Cagliari could not resist Inter Milan's offensive. They lost 1:4, with Ricardo, Ronaldo, Cordoba and Cambiasso each scoring a goal.

As the Champions League final is approaching, the whole world is starting to warm up the publicity. Football celebrities, famous critics, and football media seem to have entered a feast, and everyone can't wait to make their voices heard.

On the whole, there are more people who are optimistic that Inter Milan can finally win the championship.

But there are also many people who support Liverpool.

"Inter Milan's offensive ability is very strong. The attack line composed of Ronaldo, Ricardo and Adriano is invincible. This has been proved countless times this season. But their defense has a big problem. If they don't get If it is resolved, the Liverpool people will have the last laugh." Liverpool star Kevin Keegan said.

The Germans always like to sing against the British, but this time Beckenbauer said: "The cup is different from the league. The team with better defense can often achieve better results.

Throughout the Inter Milan game, they scored a lot of goals, but also conceded a lot of low-level mistakes, and Liverpool has the ability to seize these opportunities. I think Liverpool can win the title. "

Germany's football emperor is optimistic about Liverpool, and so is Brazil's football king. Bailey said in an interview with Global Sports in Brazil: "Both teams are very strong, each with its own characteristics. Inter Milan is stronger, Ronaldo is no worse than when I was young, Adriano and Ricardo also have Potential has become the core of the Brazilian team after Ronaldo. But the game is not just about the strength of the players on both sides. There are more factors that determine the outcome of the game. I think Liverpool have done a better job of preparing for the game. They have given up the league and cup competitions. More physically. I think Liverpool can finally win the Champions League."

Originally, Riccardo was still a little nervous, always worried that the miracle night in Istanbul would be staged in this time and space. As soon as Pele said this, he immediately celebrated with Ronaldo.

Thank you Pele, Liverpool drank this tainted milk, even if they don't die, they only have half life left.

The odds offered by the major European gaming companies also showed the strength of Inter Milan. The odds of Liverpool winning are roughly 2.6-2.8, the odds of Inter Milan winning are roughly 2.2-2.4, and the odds of a tie are roughly 3.2-3.5.

Judging from the odds, the bookmaker believes that the most likely outcome is a draw within 90 minutes.

The entire Inter Milan team has focused their preparations on the game on May 24, but they still have a league game to play.

On the evening of May 20th, in the 37th round of Serie A ahead of schedule, Inter Milan played almost a full set of substitutes. They challenge Sampdoria away.

The only three main players are Toldo, Ricardo and captain Zanetti.

Before the game, Mancini talked to Ricardo alone, and said straight to the point: "Because of tactical needs, in the Champions League final, I don't plan to let you start."

Ricardo felt sad for a while, but he just nodded: "I see, Robert, I respect your decision."

"It's not that I think you're not good enough, it's the tactical need, Ricardo. You are an important part of my plan, but in the final of the Champions League, the team needs to pay more attention to defense. It is impossible for me to send three different players. Players who like to play defense. And Adriano is stronger than you, he has an advantage against Liverpool's strong defenders."

Ricardo has different opinions on this, but he can only reserve his opinion. "You don't have to explain so much to me, Robert. I'm always ready, and when you need me to play, I'm at my best."

Mancini smiled with satisfaction: "I like your attitude. You will be a surprise player. I will play you in the second half and disrupt Liverpool's rhythm."

After a pause, he continued: "There is no room for loss in the next league. I can't give up the Champions League, but I don't want to give up the league, but Ronnie and Adriano need to recharge their batteries and prepare for the Champions League final. Next game against Sampdoria, I want you to start and give the team a victory."

Ricardo lifted his spirits and said loudly: "Leave it to me, let Ronnie rest well, and I will deal with the opponent."

"That's good, it's up to you."

Although it is a pity that he could not start in the Champions League final, Ricardo is determined to do his own thing first and help Inter Milan consolidate its advantage in the league.
