After the phone gate incident in Serie A, top teams such as Juventus, AC Milan, and Roma have suffered varying degrees of injuries.

Especially Juventus and AC Milan, one team was sent to the second division, and the chairman of another team was also banned from participating in football activities.

Before that, Juventus and Milan were both overlords in the Serie A league.

After the telephone gate incident, only Inter Milan was left in the Northern Three Top Three, who were able to escape from the troubles intact, and they also began their own days of dominating the Serie A.

But before Mourinho arrived, they were all civil war experts and foreign war laymen.

After winning the championship last season, Inter Milan has won five consecutive league titles and completed the great achievement of five consecutive Serie A championships.

And last season, under Mourinho's leadership, he won the Italian Cup first, and then completed the defending title in the league.

At the Bernabeu Stadium, they even won Bayern Munich and won the third Champions League championship in history and the first Champions League reform.

They also achieved the first team in Serie A to complete the triple-champion, and the Italian team that won the Italian Cup, league and Champions League titles in the same season.

Juventus couldn't do it, Milan didn't do it, and Inter Milan did it.

After completing the triumphal title, meritorious head coach Mourinho retired successfully, and the former old opponent Benitez replaced him as the coach.

At the beginning, the cooperation between the two sides was still very sweet. Benitez first led the team to the Italian Super Cup, and then won the Club World Cup championship, achieving the first team to win the first five-time champion in Italy.

Before the 18th round of the match between Inter Milan and Napoli, Inter Milan led by Benitez was actually not bad. In 17 rounds, they had 8 wins, 5 draws, and 4 losses, ranking fifth in the league.

Just ahead of him is Napoli, who just scored 30 points, which is also an important game for both sides to compete for a seat in the Champions League.

Perhaps it was because of the domineering behavior in the Serie A few seasons that made Inter Milan fans look down on their faces, so they were very dissatisfied with the team finishing the fifth in the league before the end of the halfway.

But if you think about AC Milan this season, Lazio and Juventus are in very good shape. Since the beginning of the league, their three teams have firmly occupied the top three in the standings.

Following behind, Naples, Inter Milan and Roma are only one point apart, especially Inter Milan and Roma have 29 points. If they lose the game against Naples, Inter Milan may also drop to the 6th place in the league.

The team's new coach Leonardo felt under a lot of pressure and seemed to be a little hasty about his decision. Inter Milan is now a hot potato, and anyone who takes over will be burned.

Speaking of which, Leonardo is also very legendary. In his player age, he played for Inter Milan and AC Milan at the same time. Especially after he retired, he has been coaching at AC Milan and took over Inter Milan this winter.

It's also a beautiful story!

This time, Meazza, who was at home, faced the challenge of Naples, it was impossible for Leonardo to be not worried.

Judging from the recent history of the two sides' confrontation, Inter Milan has an advantage, with 3 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses, but these results are all achieved under the leadership of former head coach Mourinho.

Inter Milan has not been in good condition recently, the most important thing is that they have a relatively large physical loss.

In the last round of the league, they lost to Lazio and in the Champions League match to Werder Bremen, and then they participated in the Club World Cup.

Everyone knows the result that Benitez led the team to the Club World Cup championship and was also fired by the team.

Naples's recent career has been very good. Under Gao Fei's leadership, he has won 6 consecutive victories in various competitions, which is also an important condition for them to win the fourth place in the league.

Not only are they not as physically as Naples, but their team players are not in good condition recently.

The team's absolute core midfielder Sneider had to miss the game due to injury, and another young player, Balotelli, was even more worrying.

It is undeniable that Balotelli is a talented young player in the Serie A in recent years, but his days in Inter Milan have expired, and the team will not renew his contract with him.

This is a world-class star below the head.

Another point is that Inter Milan is much older than Naples.

In three seasons, Mourinho brought together these older players and won the unprecedented triple-champion in Serie A, but at the same time, he also completely overdrawn the potential of these players.

Mourinho was able to leave Inter Milan as soon as he won the championship, and may not have seen the problems of this team and was freed from this quagmire in advance.

Mourinho proved to be very smart. I led the team to the triple crown, and then the team reached its peak in my hands. When I left, the team was still at the top and was able to win two championships again under the leadership of the successor, which shows that the team I left behind was usable and easy to use.

The team collapsed later, that was not my business.

Diego Milito is a player born in 1979, Pandev in 1983, Cambiaso in 1980, Stankovic in 1978, Mota in 1982, Lucio in 1978, captain Sanetti in 1973, Macon in 1981, Zivo in 1980, and Castellazi in 1975.

Not to mention veterans like Thornton and Matrazi. The entire Inter Milan team has almost become a retirement team, and no main players are born after 85 years.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! Such a team can naturally get a better start with their experience and the aftermath of the championship last season at the beginning of the league.

But as the game deepened, the bodies of these veterans had problems in one kind of way. In this game, you will have to take a rest, the next game will have to take a rest, you will get injured this week, and he will get injured next week.

In such a situation, it was already amazing that Benitez was able to bring the team to fifth place in the league, not to mention that he also won two championships.

If you are more rational, Inter Milan fans should not be so willful.

In the evening, Leonardo, team captains Zanetti and Milito, Matrazi, and the coaching staff gathered together.

We began to discuss how to deal with this fierce Naples.

"Actually, as long as we strangle fly to death, Naples' strength will be reduced to half!"

Zanetti stared at Gao Fei, who was in the back midfielder on the tactical board, and said gritting his teeth, "Leave him to me in this round of league. I will do nothing, just stare at this fly!"

"It's useless," the team's defensive coach disagreed with this approach. "This fly is different from other offensive players. He is more at defending in his own backcourt than participating in the offense."

"If a player like him arranges a player to keep a close eye on his body, it will be a waste. He may even fall into the trap of the opponent because we also lack one player."

Leonardo coached the team for the first time. Before, he was an assistant coach when he was in Milan. Now it is indeed a bit difficult for him as a head coach at the beginning. His first opponent is actually a difficult bone like Napoli.

"We can move a little bigger when defending," Leonardo was silent for a long time before saying this. "Compared with fly's recent games, his best performance is when his defense is weakening, and if his defensive attitude is strong, he rarely attacks the opponent's half."

"We can actually follow this method. Besides, you are all experienced players. How can you foul the fly without being punished by the referee again!"

"I won't agree with this approach," Inter Milan's old captain Salitti refused. "We have our pride. Faced with a team like Napoli, no matter how good his skills are, it's better for Messi last year? No matter how strong Napoli is, he can't be better than Barcelona, ​​right?"

Two consecutive questions left everyone else speechless, Zanetti continued, "Even a cosmic team, Barcelona, ​​and Messi at the king of football, we have never been afraid. Who is Napoli? Can Fly really let us adopt foul tactics?"

It did not give the new head coach Leonardo any face. As he said, he just won the five championships. Although Inter Milan doesn't seem as strong as last season, Napoli can't scare them and let them adopt some non-match approach.

"If fly is involved in the offensive, give him to me!"

Another old player, Cambiaso, spoke, giving Leonardo a step down, "I will pay attention to the movements of fly. As long as he dares to come up, I will definitely keep him in the midfield!"

Cambiaso is an important player in Inter Milan's team and is also the absolute core of the midfielder position. He is a defensive player who is comparable to Marklele, and he is also a traditional interceptive midfielder and a scavenger in the team.

"Okay, since that's what I said, then fly will be left to you to defend," Leonardo's face turned gloomy.

Facing Zanetti, he had no choice but to do anything. If Zanetti doesn't like him as the head coach, and even says a few words to the boss, maybe he will be about to roll the bed and leave.

This is the honor and right that Zanetti deserves for more than ten years of playing for Inter Milan.

Just like Maldini's position in AC Milan.

After such a thing happened, the tactical arrangements followed were very hasty. Just like what Benitez used in the first half of the season, in fact, Benitez's tactics led by Inter Milan were also very good, but the players were indeed unable to compare with last season.
