Chapter 967 - 234: What’s So Arrogant About the Team Ranked 10th on the Points Table?
Talista’s pre-match interview thoroughly angered the Inter fans.
The fans who had been arguing with Talista for a whole season were all wishing they could kill him.
They hung a poster on the stands with an ugly version of Talista, with the words, "I am ugly but gentle."
"Gentle" here means soft.
Inter fans are launching personal attacks.
But to be fair, even Lu Yang felt that Inter fans’ comeback was justified.
After all, the things Talista said about Inter and their fans were even more terrible.
All I can say is, since they chose the path of trash talk, both Talista and Inter fans should be fully prepared for what lies ahead.
They must keep going, no matter what.
Before this match, Juventus had their fifth league game two hours earlier.
Ancelotti, who didn’t perform well in the last game, seemed to overcome a mental barrier and scored his first hat-trick of the season for Juventus!
Even before the match ended, countless posts praising Ancelotti appeared on various platforms.
Ironically, after the last game, the same people who said Ancelotti should retire and not drag Juventus down were the ones posting these praises.
If Ancelotti had listened to these people’s "opinions" and fell into self-doubt, could he have performed so brilliantly in this game?
Clearly not.
Suddenly, slogans like Juventus returning to the championship ranks, Juventus’ fifth league title is within reach, and other teams should prepare for Juventus’ domination started to spread.
However, Lu Yang, who watched Ancelotti’s goal highlights on his phone, couldn’t hold it in.
What the hell...
This... Ancelotti’s speed has increased!
Visibly faster!
Especially his explosive power, which almost reached his peak performance.
What does this mean?
Lu Yang thought of his own system.
No way... could it be... the Reverse Moment Card, also has rewards?
This...
Looking at his remaining two Reverse Moment Cards, Lu Yang swore he would never use them again.
This is a complete double-edged sword.
Although it could win the game at the time, it would increase the opponent’s strength later.
Perhaps the best application for such a card is in cup competitions.
Never use it on a fellow league team.
Juventus, which finally seemed to be faltering, quickly returned to their dominant strength after Ancelotti’s revival.
This undoubtedly made this season’s league even more intense.
...
San Siro.
The visiting San Remo lined up with a brand new formation.
Three defenders!
Previously, they had been trying the 4-3-3, with some ups and downs.
Though the results aren’t bad, it’s still hard for some players to adapt.
Like Kaint.
From a developmental coach’s perspective, Kaint is now an extremely top-tier defensive midfielder.
Next should be developing his offensive and support capabilities, rather than adapting him to play as a right-back or left-back.
The change in Kaint’s position is a huge sacrifice for him.
So today, Sotu daringly gave Kaint another chance.
After all, Inter is no strong team now... Yes, Inter is not strong!
The season before last, Inter was still a strong team that could fight both in the Champions League and the league. If not for the rumors of Gutierrez’s departure causing a form drop, they had the capability to compete for the championship.
Last season, Inter was still demolishing in both the Europa League and the league. If not for Finger’s high salary causing Talista’s dissatisfaction and subsequent internal conflict, Inter still had some championship strength.
But this season... after Talista left, Inter suddenly couldn’t score anymore.
In reality, after Gutierrez left, Inter already had this problem, but Talista’s arrival covered it up.
Talista and Gutierrez have different styles, but both can be considered versatile forwards.
The Inter tailor-made for Gutierrez, Talista could seamlessly integrate into, but other forwards couldn’t.
After four matches, Inter ranks only tenth in the league, which is very telling.
Juventus previously indeed had their worst start in fifteen years.
But Inter is not much better.
The reason it hasn’t been widely discussed is purely because Inter’s attention has greatly decreased, not because they performed better than Juventus.
Now, with Inter facing San Remo and the attention returning, people are surprised to find Inter’s ranking so low?
Is this still that Inter?
"Okay, welcome everyone to this round’s focus match, where Inter Milan is hosting San Remo."
"From San Remo, we have Bai Zhami, Talista, and Lu Yang as the three forwards."
"In the midfield, there are four players, from left to right: Delarre, Lam, Kaint, and Morici!"
"In defense, we have the three center-backs, Bernulin, Naji, and Camihong, along with goalkeeper Areola!"
"Morici appearing as a right midfielder is not common, but it also means San Remo equipped themselves with twin engines!"
"Delarre on the left and Morici on the right. Not just two wings flying together, but like dual motors! Can they make San Remo take off?"
"Alright, San Remo kicks off!"
"San Remo’s passing is very patient, they’re not in a hurry to get the ball to the forwards. Delarre attempts a breakthrough, doesn’t succeed but that’s alright, possession is still at his feet."
"Delarre’s height is considered excellent among midfielders, but he has excellent ball control, unlike Moriba who likes to use his body to shield the ball, Delarre always uses exquisite footwork to shield the ball and make breakthroughs."
