Lippi has said that in the world of football, it is a good thing that a team creates a great record, but it also brings great pressure.
In this round, Inter drew with Atalanta, and two wonderful records were declared to an end: eight consecutive league wins and 39 consecutive league goals. The Italian media stressed that the end of the record at this time is an appropriate time.
The record will always end. Sooner or later.
If the record that lasts for a long time and is won by many hard fights ends up at an inappropriate time, it is inevitable that there will be sequelae. Italian media have been worried that if Inter has scored consecutive goals for more than a year and is kept clean sheets in the Milan derby, it will make opponents in the same city gain stronger confidence and will also have a greater negative impact on Inter.
In Bergamo, it is a pity that Inter Milan's two major records have come to an end, but as the TV guest said, if the record will end, now is a good time.
In three games in a week, Inter won Lazio, beat Juve to win the Super Cup, and the third away game at Atalanta could have accepted a draw, 0-0 full retreat, is "achieving expectations" and "acceptable" results. At this time, the end of the record can also be said to unload the burden and be relaxed.
"When Gasperini is satisfied with a draw, Inzaghi Jr. and his children will not be very disappointed, they will not think that this 0-0 is ruining the good momentum of the team. ”
There are many reasons for the end of the record, the main one being three points.
First of all, after 120 minutes of hard fighting in the Inter Super Cup, the multi-body energy is exhausted, pre-match information shows that the team has 3-4 players with muscle fatigue, which may not affect Inter's running (the Warring States Team runs 114 kilometers, slightly more than the opponent), defense (Inter milan five consecutive away league clean sheet opponents, the first time in the three-point era), but fatigue will affect the accuracy of the action, the impact on the attack is not small.
In addition, Atalanta coach Gasperini put his posture very low, changed the team's usual playing style, changed the 4-back, adopted the "crazy rush" tactic, and did not hesitate to sacrifice the "construction" of his own team, but also to "destroy" Inter's attack.
The most important reason is that the structural shortcomings of inter's squad are reflected in today's situation.
Italian media pointed out that the Battle of Inter Atalanta is a preview of Inter Liverpool's Champions League battle.
For example, the pace of the game is fast, and the intensity is much higher than that of the average Serie A event. For example, the tactical gold content is extremely high. For example, the referee chose the "Champions League standard", which is different from other Serie A matches. For example, Atalanta has adopted a similar formation to Liverpool, a pressing model, and so on.
In short, if Inter intends to feel the "Rhythm of the Champions League" in advance, the training significance of this battle is far greater than many previous rounds.
It is precisely for this reason that the problems that arise are particularly worthy of attention.
Atalanta's De Jongn withdrew his pocket so that other players could let go of their hands and feet, and rushed and hand-to-hand inter's several center forwards, with a clear purpose and fighting.
This has had a big impact on Inter, especially Char khanoglu, who previously averaged 2.6 threatening passes per game and 0.6 golden chances per game. In this battle, he only had 1 threatening pass, failed to create a real opportunity, made many mistakes, and was greatly reduced.
This is the after-effect of the Super Cup after the bullets were exhausted.
Little Inzaghi was helpless, and the first wave of substitutions replaced the Turks.
But Vidal, who was replaced, although he had high hopes, failed to give a positive return. After the game, the Italian media commented: "Vidal would like to help the team, but there are too many unnecessary, low-level mistakes, and the state after the winter break has been very bad."
Vidal is not unique. Under the premise that Barrera and B Ronaldo showed the signal of muscle fatigue before the game, Inzaghi Jr. still did not dare to give Gagliardini, Besino, Sensi and others a chance, because they also had their own problems.
This is Inter's biggest shortcoming: the so-called seven central defenders, the three main forces and the four major substitutes are too big in terms of status and role. In other links, Inter dares to rotate, but in the center forward position, once any of the main forces have a situation or are contained against the target, as long as Inter adjusts, the team's combat strength is bound to be significantly reduced, and the operation is bound to be greatly limited. This problem has seriously hampered the team many times in the Devils' schedule.
The problem has always existed, as conspicuous as the lice on the bald man's head, and the Nerazzurri is also very distressed and has been trying to solve it.
After the war, Inter had a good chance.
The next two home games, the Italian Cup vs Empoli, serie A vs. Venice, Inter can do some rotations, and even consider giving a player like Sensi a chance to play for a long time.
Little Inzaghi's previous conversations with Besino and Sensi may have been preparing for this.
The Italian media looked forward to the rotation. The best situation is that someone can seize the opportunity to play the bright spot, like the recent Sanchez, with performance to get in the position, turning waste into treasure.
Taking a step back, even if the midfield substitutes can't play, if sensi, Besino and others can realize that they have no hope of staying and firmly leave the team, then Inter is expected to free up places before the winter window closes and introduce a rotating midfielder.
Taking a step back, even in the worst case, the substitute midfielder can't play out, and he is determined not to leave the team, it is not completely meaningless. If this rotation can give Inter's tired three main midfielders a break, it is also a good thing.
So in the coming week, although the weight of Inter may not be as good as the previous week, it is also an opportunity to take advantage of.
