Vol 5 Chapter 24: Thunder (four)

"Cohabitation" on the eve of the game is suitable for Inter Milan's loose management, optimistic nature for Italy, and Milan, a prosperous city. But for Wang Ai, who has always been self-disciplined, it is not very suitable. He has become accustomed to arranging life at his own pace and is also used to lying in his bed every night, so this night, he did not sleep well.
Although Maniche and Materazzi did not interfere with him.
At 5:30 in the morning the next morning, Wang Ai woke up, left the dormitory lightly, got home and changed into training shoes and football, and started a morning run along the route he designed.
Walking through the dark forest, listening to the steps of the three of them. After six o'clock, the sky was dark, and Wang Ai took out the football behind his back and started dribbling. In the end, he stayed on the turf on the periphery of the golf course in the middle of the forest more than two hundred meters away from home, doing technical moves in place.
With a full body of water vapor, Wang Ai returned home and collected his equipment. He will go to Siena this morning, the first game after returning from the winter break.
According to the schedule, Wang Ai returned to the base at 8 o'clock and had breakfast with his teammates in the base canteen. Unlike most teammates who just woke up, they have no appetite. Wang Ai eats very boldly. The weight in a stainless steel plate is three times that of other teammates!
However, it has long been heard that the teammates of Wang Ai's daily morning exercises are not surprised, and whoever runs half a marathon will have to become a starving ghost.
There was chatting and laughter from time to time in the cafeteria, and Mancini didn't care, but occasionally whispered to his assistant, and the meal was finished early.
After breakfast, it’s free time. Most people gather to chat or play cards, which is not much different from China. Until ten o’clock in the morning, the talents got on the bus and rushed to the airport to board the flight south. Today’s opponent is Siena, which was upgraded five years ago, and has been in the Serie B league all the year round. Even if it is upgraded, it will be in the middle and lower reaches of the year. Almost downgraded before.
The only thing about this team that impresses the outside world is their jersey that is extremely similar to Juventus-Zebra! Because the two teams are theoretically owned by the same owner, Siena is also called the Juventus second team, which shows its strength.
After arriving in Siena, after a simple lunch, the team drove to the Franchi Stadium. Old Liu, who was regarded as Wang Ai's entourage, followed the plane, and beckoned after seeing Wang Ai in the stadium's player passageway.
"Xiao Wang, although I might not say that, as a friend, I still remind you a little." Old Liu shook his head: "You are an extra-standard treatment. Others, even the captain, didn't bring their own assistants and guards. Not only did you bring it, but you also asked the club to pay for travel and accommodation. Although you did the same at Chelsea, it was written in your contract. However, if you can’t perform convincingly enough, these will quickly become everyone The reason against you."
Wang Ai thought for a while, nodded, and ran onto the court without saying anything.
Inter Milan's starting lineup for today's game is goalkeeper Julio Cesar, right back Maicon, left back Maxwell, double center back Cordoba, Materazzi. Zanetti, Cambiasso, Qi Wu formed the midfielder, Jimenez as the midfielder, Ibrahimovic and Cruz double forward. Among them, Ibrahimovic still prefers a slightly back position in order to play his self-proclaimed footwork, and the occasional flashing Cruise pushes to play the center forward.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was just right, and Wang Ai sat behind Mancini, observing this 15,000-seat stadium with curiosity, oh it should be called a sports field. In England, Wang Ai has become accustomed to crowds of people in every game, so he was a little curious to look at this simple stadium. Although there are a lot of fans, but there is a hint of desolation, really a bit sorry for the status of Serie A.
After walking for a while, Wang Ai turned to pay attention to the game. Inter Milan has a great advantage. They have consecutive opportunities in the frontcourt, but the backcourt limits their opponents very much. This kind of game is indeed suitable for him as a newcomer to debut. Soon, under the continuous offensive, Siena’s defense took a lot of pressure and made mistakes. Cruise won a penalty after falling. Ibrahimovic Punish, hit directly.
Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long. A few minutes later, Siena made a satisfactory cross. Julio's defense was disrupted. Cordoba competed with the opposing forward. In the end, I didn't know who touched it. Anyway, the football fell. Inside the goal line, the score was tied.
Since then, the situation has once again entered Inter Milan’s main attack and Siena’s main defense pattern. Although Inter has frequent offensives, it is not a big threat. Seeing that the first half will end in a tie, the captain Zanetti is anxious and dribbles in from the backcourt. Last, after four players from the other side in a row, they were not able to survive, and greeted the applause of Inter fans who came from an expedition of more than 300 kilometers.
Wang Ai couldn't help but applaud, 35! You can still play this kind of solo advance and frequent excel. An Argentine can be called "the captain forever" in Inter Milan.
Unfortunately, although Inter Milan has Zanetti who can assault in the midfield, Cambiasso who can cover and block a large area, and the all-round defender Qiwu, there is no stable responder in the position of the midfielder. , So that the sudden attack launched by the two "leaders" can only run to about 40 meters from the goal and cannot become the final thunder blow.
Cruise's role is an assassin, invisible daily, often playing a defensive midfielder, and occasionally come suddenly. Ibrahimovic's footwork and consciousness are good, but it is only for his height and forward role, and it is still incomparable with normal organizational midfielders and wingers.
At least from Wang Ai's point of view, Zanetti's assault just now, if there is any one of Belleron, Lampard, Robben, and Joe Cole, the threat will be great, even if Essien is there. It's a pity that Inter's midfielder has strength and body, but no tactics. The pass is not accurate enough, time and opportunity are wasted. There is nothing commendable in every move and it is completely crushed by the advantages of personnel quality.
Jimenez is more like a second forward and lacks organizational skills.
Wang Ai, who focused on watching the game, came to a preliminary conclusion, maybe he will play the role of a frontcourt organizer after his debut to make Inter Milan's dry frontcourt oily.
In the stoppage time of the first half, the long-attack Inter Milan finally passed a chaotic battle, and finally assisted by Ibrahimovic, Cambiasso accepted the score to exceed.
Seeing this scene, Wang Ai applauded while disapproving, too stupid.
Perhaps Mancini's command style is conducive to the growth of players, but it is a serious injury to the team's record.
