433VS442.

Before the game, both sides paid a minute of silence for the Japanese Football Association official who had just passed away. Inter Milan kicked off first, but Cambiasso made a mistake in a cross pass and was successfully intercepted by Argentine forward Cordoba. Panucci had to foul the left side of the penalty area and gave Olympia a well-positioned kick. .

Olympia's Lopez drove the ball into the penalty area. Argentine forward Cordoba grabbed a shot in the chaos in front of the goal and almost knocked on Buffon's door.

After the shock, Inter Milan immediately controlled the situation on the pitch, and Ronaldinho became the focus of the pitch.

In the 3rd minute, Ronaldinho and Robben exchanged positions and drove the ball from the left to the middle. Unfortunately, his teammates did not respond in time. However, a minute later, Inter Milan found the first opportunity to shoot them in the whole game, it was Ronaldinho, returning to the right, he rushed into the penalty area with a header on the right side of the goal.

After another two minutes, Ronaldinho once again found a starting opportunity, and his vigorous shot was confiscated by Paraguayan substitute Tavarelli. Today, Ronaldinho played hard to score and runs a lot more than before in Serie A.

Inter Milan basically controlled the situation, while the Olympia team could only rely on a quick counterattack to find a breakthrough. The pace of the game was very fast. Repeated attempts failed to work, Inter Milan was a little impatient, and several long passes were blocked by the Olympia defender. In the 9th minute, Robben used his speed to make a personal breakthrough on the left and shot after passing, but Tavarelli blocked the baseline.

In the 11th minute, Adriano scored the ball to the left-back Gresco, who has been active, who volleyed vigorously and was blocked by Zeara.

Inter Milan’s offensive wave was higher than the wave, and finally scored in the 13th minute. Robben made a low pass and Adriano cleverly passed. Ronaldinho received the ball and pushed with his right foot. Shot, 1:0, Inter Milan made a perfect start.

Olympia took advantage of Inter Milan's joy of scoring and launched a quick counterattack on the right. Benitez's shot hit the goal post. Since then, Olympia’s inexperienced weaknesses have been exposed, the number of offsides and fouls has increased frequently, and there are not many opportunities for the frontcourt.

In the 29th minute, Ronaldinho passed a pass to Zanetti. The Argentinian drove the ball past a defender and volleyed with his right foot. Unfortunately, the ball was higher than the lintel.

In the 33rd minute, Olympia No. 10 Miguel Benitez received a yellow card for a foul on Di Biagio. In the 35th minute, Ronaldinho was tripped at the front of the penalty area. Inter Milan won a free kick at the top of the arc. Ronaldinho's powerful shot was blocked by the wall. One minute later, Ronaldinho made another shot with his left foot vigorously after a breakthrough in the frontcourt, and was blocked by the defender from the bottom line. The subsequent corner kick was also ejected by the defender.

Ronaldinho shines at the Yokohama National Stadium, which has become his personal performance stage.

Inter Milan played cool and relaxed after taking the lead. Olympia seemed to have lost the courage to equalize on the surface, but it was reckless to threaten its opponents. In the 40th minute, Materazzi made a long pass and Olympia made a pass from the right. Lopez faced Buffon and pushed the lower right corner of the goal, but was saved by Buffon.

In the 42nd minute, Adriano protected the ball from the front of the penalty area and knocked it across to Robben, but the latter hit the ball high. After Olympia took a free kick 28 meters in the frontcourt and was blocked by the Inter Milan defender.

At the end of the first half, Inter Milan's possession rate reached 63%. Although Olympia also has a shot, the threat is not big. The easy game made Inter Milan fans forget Zheng Zhi on the bench.

In the past there was no Zheng Zhi's game, Inter Milan played quite difficult, but in the last three games, Inter Milan's performance is getting better and better under the wonderful performance of Robben and Ronaldinho. It can also be said that the 2:2 draw with AC Milan Thrilling, it can be said to be shocking to kill 4:1, and now playing Olympia is like a college student hitting a middle school student?

Inter Milan seems to have changed.

During the intermission, even Mourinho's tone of speech became much softer than usual. But he would not be so stupid that he really forgot Zheng Zhi. When he was speaking, he had asked Zheng Zhi and Recoba to go out to warm up in advance.

The Chinese fans at Yokohama National Stadium finally cheered when they saw Zheng Zhi step onto the stadium to warm up.

How can there be no Zheng Zhi on such a grand festival? Although Ronaldinho and the others performed very well, they believe that if Zheng Zhi plays, the game will be more exciting and Inter Milan will play more gorgeously.

However, after the start of the second half, Mourinho did not immediately replace Zheng Zhi, but let Zheng Zhi continue to warm up on the sidelines.

The Olympia team has not improved much, and Inter Milan still plays the leading role. In the 46th minute, Zanetti made a beautiful through pass, and Adriano hit the goal from a small angle on the right and missed the baseline.

A minute later, Ronaldinho was knocked down after a breakthrough. Inter Milan won a free kick in the front court. Ronaldinho pretended to take a shot, but gave the ball to Zanetti, who made a long shot from the far corner.

In the 53rd minute, Robben received a pass from Di Biagio, easily dunked a defender and shot wide.

Inter Milan still controls the pace of the game. The Olympia midfielder can't control the ball, which may be related to their tactical deployment. Coach Pompidou was overly afraid of Inter Milan's offensive power and added a midfielder to assist 4 defenders.

It can be seen that Olympia still has not given up.

And Inter Milan has not ushered in a second goal, and finally, Mourinho sent Zheng Zhi. Zheng Zhi came on and Cambiasso went off. After three games, he became Inter Milan's midfield commander again.

Zheng Zhi's appearance increased Inter Milan's control even more. Robben and Ronaldinho ran harder and moved forward.

Ronaldinho got consecutive shots.

In the 68th minute, Ronaldinho received Zheng Zhi's straight shot and missed the goal. Soon afterwards Robben also received Zheng Zhi's assist, but his left-footed shot was also struggling to get out of the goal by Tavarelli.

Olympia's defense suffered an even greater test and was completely suppressed by Inter Milan and could only be held back at halftime.

In the 75th minute, Zheng Zhi picked a pass from the middle of the penalty area, and Adriano's shot was blocked by Pedro Benitez...

Three minutes later, Zheng Zhi once again went straight into the middle. Adriano hit the goal after two people in the penalty area and was blocked by the defender!

Mourinho really couldn't stand it anymore, and finally Recoba replaced Robben and Tony replaced Adriano. Inter Milan's offense still has not slowed down.

In the 84th minute, Zheng Zhi split to the right and Ronaldinho made a pass to Olympia. Recoba got a header and Tavarelli couldn't react. The ball flew into the net, 2:0. Recoba scored the first time he touched the ball.

The score finally stabilized, Inter Milan began to withdraw from the formation and held the victory. This also gave Olympia a second chance to hit the goal in the second half in the 87th minute.

Until the 87th minute, it was a pity that Olympia striker Lopez's shot was really deceived. Inter Milan then made a third substitution, and Di Biagio was replaced by Dalma.

Three minutes of stoppage time. Olympia hadn't lost the fighting spirit. Except for the goalkeeper, everyone else overwhelmed halftime. As a result, in the 92nd minute, Zheng Zhi sent out precision guidance outside his own penalty area. The ball crossed halftime and fell into the right front. Ronaldinho quickly jumped in and succeeded in turning offside. Then he ran the ball all the way to the Olympia penalty area, passed the goalkeeper and pushed the ball into the empty goal.

3:0.

Inter Milan easily defeated Olympia at Yokohama Stadium and defended the Toyota Cup.

After the game, Ronaldinho and Zheng Zhi both got high scores of 10 points, but because Zheng Zhi played too little time, and Ronaldinho scored two goals, Ronaldinho won the title of best player in the end. Drive away the Toyota.

In 2002, Inter Milan won the Coppa Italia, the Italian Super Cup, the European Super Cup, the Italian Serie A League, the Champions League, the Toyota Cup, and achieved six crowns. If even the TIM Cup champions are counted, they It can also be called the Seven Crowns. They did it last year, but they did it this year.

After the game, photos of Ronaldinho rushing to celebrate on the major sports pages made the headlines. Ronaldinho is considered to be Inter Milan's first contributor to winning the Toyota Cup. The fastest updated novels https://

Italy "Gazzetta dello Sport"-from the 10th to the 7th, Inter Milan's goal scepter has been handed over. Cristiano Ronaldo is telling the world that he is expected to become the third world-class Ronaldo, and Inter Milan fans are quickly forgetting the original Ronaldo.

French "Team"-Cristiano is now one of the best young players, he is going in the right direction.

Portuguese "Nation"-he is the new Eusebio!

German "Kicker"-Zheng Zhi finally became a green leaf, and Cristiano Ronaldo shines in the world under his embellishment!

Brazil "Global Sports"-he is also called Ronaldo? Ronaldinho, Kaka and Adriano have to be careful, this guy is definitely their number one enemy in the future!

Mourinho also greatly praised Ronaldinho at the press conference after the game.

"Cristiano's performance is extraordinary. To have such a performance at this age, few people in my memory can do it. His future is definitely a golden ball."

"He is becoming more and more mature. This maturity is very similar to that of Zheng. This makes me even wonder if a player cannot succeed at the age of seventeen or eighteen, does it mean a failure? Haha, I just drive A joke..."

"Now I finally don't need to worry about the scoring of the strikers, and the media no longer need to say that we can only rely on the midfielder to score goals! I am looking forward to the next league game against Udinese."

This victory even allowed some football commentators to express unexpected views.

Sky Sports commentator Adani said astonishing: “It is undeniable that Zheng’s presence has made Inter Milan’s control stronger, but this is not an essential problem. The essential problem is that Ronaldinho and Robben have completely integrated into the team. In the game, the two of them can decide the game through their personal ability. Even if Zheng does not play today, Inter Milan can win the final victory." Update the fastest novel https://

The AC Milan star Rijkaard who has similar opinions with him said in an interview with Gazzetta dello Sport: “Inter Milan without Zheng is faster. Zheng is used to holding the ball, and several young people I prefer speed and passion. Although Zheng can deliver a lot of good shots, I think the reason why Inter Milan has performed differently in the last few games is that it did not rely too much on Zheng and the tactics of Zheng have changed. No longer an indispensable player for Inter Milan."

?

"What kind of stupid report is this?" Mourinho, who returned to Milan, read the report and really wanted to scold his mother. "Adani and Rijkaard are both from AC Milan. Are they both conspiring?"

A fool would believe what they two said. They would say that because they might not see Inter Milan’s good. Zheng Zhi is the most important player of Inter Milan. Without Zheng Zhi, there would be no The dynasty of Inter Milan.

Moratti also read the report. His reaction was even greater. The next day he called Wu Di and told Wu Di directly that the club was going to renew his contract with Zheng Zhi's salary increase.

Wu Di forwarded the words to Zheng Zhi.

However, Zheng Zhi did not expect to tell Wu Di.

"We'll talk at the end of the season."

Wu Di was surprised.

"Why? Renewing your contract with your salary increase does not mean that Inter Milan attaches great importance to you? You haven't read the news that you are not an indispensable player for Inter Milan. This does not mean that Mr. Moratti will give you a boost immediately. The salary is enough to show how much he values ​​you."

"Because I don't need a salary increase. There is no point in adding more money. I'll leave it to the end of the season."

"Really?" Wu Di looked at his cousin, still not convinced.

"Don't you want to leave now?"

"..." Zheng Zhi was silent for a few seconds and laughed, "Well, I really don't want to renew my contract so early. I can't always stay in the same club. I want to play in another league. I always stay in the same place. Playing football will get bored. Wouldn't it be better to challenge from another place? Inter Milan has won the six championships twice, and maybe it's time to go next season."

Zheng Zhi still expressed his true thoughts.

"This……"

Hearing Zheng Zhi's explanation, Wu Di was still surprised. He thought Zheng Zhi would stay at Inter Milan. After all, he is at the peak. Who thought he would leave the team?

"It's not really because today's report made you care about it? It's just a scribble by the media, deliberately creating conflicts for Inter Milan.

"Of course not, why do I think so."

"Then...I can't talk to Moratti and the others?" Wu Di still looked hard.
