Section 59: The Road to Winning the Championship 95-96 (Part 1)

(Happy New Year everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please recommend ^_^)

Uruguayan coach Tabares has not yet made his coaching career in South America so far. The 1987 South American Liberators Cup championship and the 16th World Cup in 1990 were his most proud achievements so far. I am afraid that when he handed in his resume, he didn't even have much hope to really become the head coach of AC Milan.

Maybe he was lucky, so this South American coach who had never coached in Europe was pushed to the front.

However, as soon as he took the position that countless people envied, he faced the first test. Parma was sharpening his knife at home and was waiting to give the new coach a warning.

In the 27th round of the league on March 24, AC Milan faced Parma away. As Tabares' first game, the outside world received great enthusiasm for this game. People are curious about what skills Tabares has? He can take the throne of AC Milan head coach!

In this way, the focus of this round began with the curious attention of everyone!

The game was really exciting, with many special goals. The score had just ended in the first half and it had already become 3:1!

AC Milan is leading? Tabares made a contribution? Unfortunately, both of them were wrong, and it was just the opposite! AC Milan conceded 3 goals in the first half, and the team's performance on the court was terrible! The players complained and accused each other on the court! Panucci was replaced and shouted something at the poor Tabares. The entire AC Milan was completely defeated!

Tabares' expression on the sidelines was already very unnatural, his face turned red and white, and he probably only knew his mood at this time.

Berlusconi's face in the stands was already ashen. I'm afraid he's regretting this time changing the coach, but this time it was his own choice. He could only continue to grit his teeth and persevere in front of the outside world.

At the end of the game, AC Milan lost with a big score of 4:1!

Thousands of AC Milan fans who came to watch the game were in an uproar. "Shame!" "We don't want Tabares!" "We want Capello!" The fans called slogans to express their protest to the club!

"Substitution! Swap! Tabares is too dissatisfied. His coaching level is not competent for AC Milan's head coach!" After the game, Berlusconi completely lost confidence in Tabares who had only been in office for only one game. He didn't need to continue to insist in the office. He slapped the table angrily while shouting at Galliani. However, from his tone, he learned from this lesson that not everyone can be the head coach of AC Milan. He has already used the adjective of insufficient level.

"Chairman, we may not be suitable for changing coaches this season. I said bluntly that the championship seems to be hopeless. Why not let Tabarez finish this season!"

Berlusconi thought for a while and nodded, "Then let it go, please contact me and I want him to come to AC Milan next season. Tell him I appreciate him."

"Van Gaal of Ajax?"

"Yes! It's him. Only a strong coach like him can control AC Milan. Go and have a good talk. Tell him that I will give him enough funds to build the team. With the three Ajax players who will come to our team next season, he should be very interested." Berlusconi has been observing Van Gaal for a long time. Since an unknown coach seems to be not suitable for AC Milan, then push him, the most popular coach now. He also realized that AC Milan players must be superior to him, such a hard-line coach. He is now working hard to make up for the previous excitement!

AC Milan's defeat and chaos are good news for Inter Milan. Taking advantage of this opportunity Inter Milan easily defeated Udinese 2:0 in this round of league, and its leading advantage expanded to 8 points. It can be said that one hand has touched the championship trophy. At the same time, the number of consecutive victories has reached 7 games, which is not far from the record of 10 consecutive victories in Serie A.

In the 28th round of the league on March 31, Inter Milan came to the Renaissance city of Fiorentina. Before the game, Xiao Hua met with Florence's president film tycoon Cecchi Gorry and fully exchanged views with the other party on the possibility of forming a triangular league. Cecchi Gorry, a personality figure who usually talks about anti-Juventus and anti-AC Milan, was very interested in Xiao Hua's proposal, and soon the two sides reached a consensus.

In the traditional Italian sense, the three northern tops look at clubs like Rome and Florence from a downward perspective. The goal of clubs such as Rome and Florence is to sit together and talk to the three northern tops one day. This time Inter Milan can take the initiative to talk to them on an equal footing, and they naturally have their readily agreed. People always want to go to a high place and cooperate with Inter Milan this time. Rome and Florence feel that they have also entered a wealthy family.

Fiorentina currently ranks fifth in the league, with a 12-point gap between Inter Milan and last season. If it were last season, there would be no hope of winning the championship. They should be said to have no motivation for the League Cup.

But this season is different. The Champions League will expand its team starting next year, and the league runner-up will also have the opportunity to go to the Champions League for a while and also bring a huge appearance fee. Currently, Fiorentina and AC Milan, second-placed, are only 4 points apart. There is no reason why they don’t try hard for this Champions League entry!

This game is definitely not easy to play. Sure enough, at the beginning of the game, Fiorentina's frontcourt trident: Zidane, Bati, and Bayano launched an attack on Inter Milan's defense line amid the shouts of home fans.

There is no doubt about the strength of these three players. After 20 minutes of the game, after a concise wall-kicking cooperation in the frontcourt, Bati rushed into the Inter Milan penalty area, made a powerful shot, and the ball went straight into the international goal.

1:0 Florence took the lead.

For Inter Milan, although the 8-point advantage is overwhelming, they still cannot accept the loss, and they do not intend to end the 7-game winning streak.

In the 10th minute of the second half, Ronaldo once again played his talent and scored three opponents in a counterattack. The genius boy once again brought a goal to Inter Milan. Ronaldo has scored 7 goals this season. He is just 20 years old this year and has improved his level again after this year's training. Barcelona in Spain has raised their offer to US$25 million. Xiao Hua still smiled at this sky-high price: Ronaldo = non-selling product!

In the end, Inter Milan and his opponents became a draw 1:1. Although it was not perfect and the record of winning streak was ruthlessly interrupted, taking 1 point from Fiorentina is still an acceptable result. Who can keep winning? Football is like this, no matter how strong you are, you will always be blocked in some places. Losing 1 or 2 points is not a problem. What you are afraid of is just a continuous sluggish state.

Now AC Milan is in a state of sluggishness. In this round, he met Piagenza in the relegation circle. In the second game led by Tabares, he once again got a draw.

After just two weeks of taking office, the Italian media has put this poor coach on the list of the season's inevitable dismissal. Now everyone knows that he is destined to be a transitionalist. People are predicting who will take the position of AC Milan's head coach next season. It is also worth mentioning that Inzagi scored another goal in this game. He has scored 19 goals, unexpectedly occupying the top spot in the shooting list. Another Italian star of hope has risen. Fortunately, his name also belongs to Inter Milan.

Three days later, Inter Milan faced Sampdoria at home, but this game was not a league but a semi-final of the Italian Cup. The four teams entering the semi-finals of the Italian Cup are: Inter Milan, Sampdoria, Parma and Udinese.

Although the league champion has not been in hand, the Italian Cup, which has played in the semi-finals of 4, is also unwilling to give up. How can you give up again if you are so close to the championship?

Wenger ranked almost all the main players in the game, the only difference was that Baggio got a chance to rest.

In the second half, Costa's long shot from 25 meters away from the goal brought Inter Milan victory. Sampdoria was not completely desperate after the game. After all, it was not bad to lose 0:1 in Meazza, and they still have a great chance to return to home court.

On April 6, Inter Milan played against Cremona, who had almost been relegated at home. I don’t know whether it was because of the depressed morale after the seven-game winning streak, or the Italian Cup three days ago that consumed the players’ physical strength. In short, Inter Milan’s players were in extremely poor form in the game. Although the scene was dominant, there was no threatening attack, let alone scoring goals. The opponent’s simple counterattack threatened the international goal several times, and even caused two chances of single shots. If you only watch this game, you will definitely not believe that the points and rankings of the two teams are completely different. There are indeed no weak teams in the World Cup!

I don’t know if it should be praised for Inter Milan’s goalkeeper and defense line as strong, or fortunate that the opponent’s forward line was too bad. After the game was 80 minutes, Inter Milan’s goal was still safe and sound in the opponent’s countless counterattacks.

Now everyone is looking forward to the appearance of the Savior. In the 85th minute of the game, the Savior appeared in time, and he is an Inter Milan player.

Delvicio, a striker who was a little depressed this season, finally acted as a savior at this time.

There is nothing to say about the goal, it is very ordinary. A chance to get a corner kick Delvicio sent this very bad ball into the opponent's goal in the chaos. As for how the ball entered because it was too chaotic and crowded in the penalty area, no one of the audience at the scene could see clearly. Only the audience in front of the TV could see clearly through slow motion display that he had knocked the ball in with his chest.

No matter how you score, as long as you can bring 3 points to the team, he is a hero, Delvicio is the hero of this game. At the same time, after his poor performance in the last round, the goal stopped the possible continuous undercuts in time.

After getting 3 points, Inter Milan is one step closer to the championship. Although AC Milan won a victory in this round, there is a gap of 8 points in 5 rounds of games. Now everyone is calculating how many rounds of Inter Milan will win the championship several rounds in advance.

Regarding this question of a few rounds ahead, Xiao Hua also had a plan in his mind. Inter Milan will face Juventus at home in the third round of the league. He defeated Juventus and became the champion. This is a scene that has appeared countless times in Xiao Hua's dream. How exciting and exciting it is to bring the championship crown after the Italian derby!

Wishes are beautiful, but we still have to go down-to-earth. In the 30th round of the league on April 14, Inter Milan will play away against Padua. The schedule of Inter Milan in the past few rounds seems very good on the surface. In addition, Cagliari in the next round, faces the teams in the downstream for three consecutive rounds. But this schedule is not the time. Now is the time when these downstream teams are trying their best to relegate. As the saying goes, barefoot people are not afraid of wearing shoes. It is really difficult to play when they meet these opponents who are about to lose their shoes.

Sure enough, the progress of the game proved that it was an arduous battle. In just the 9th minute, Padua's American defender Laras took advantage of a corner kick to head the ball.

Although Baggio's low shot from a small angle was resounding in just ten minutes, Padua performed at a high level today. They pressed crazy against Inter Milan players like crazy. At the end of the first half, their midfield core later became famous in Lachio. Feore, who had a flash of inspiration in the penalty area. A tricky shot made Palioca helpless. Inter Milan fell behind for the second time.

Just as Wenger said after this game, I applaud the players' tenacious will today! The boys of Inter Milan withstood the pressure in this game, and they reflected the will that the champion team must have.

At the beginning of the second half, Inter Milan began a fierce offensive. After gradually adapting to the opponent's pressing, scoring may not be a problem for Inter Milan.

In the 63rd minute, Delvicio received a wonderful pass from Bertti to score a header, 2:2!

Padua's physical strength has been consumed at this time, and the gap in their strength has been clearly exposed. Veteran Lombardo regained his youth in Inter Milan this season after being swept out by Sampdoria. His breakthrough and cross on the right have become a very important scoring method this season.

In the 80th minute, "Popeye" did not take a high ball after going down the bottom, but pushed the ball comfortably to Baggio's feet. The vice captain did not disappoint his teammate's wonderful pass. After making a fake shot at the corner of the penalty area, he rubbed a banana ball with a very beautiful arc on the inside of his left foot, and the ball rolled straight to the upper left corner of the goal. 3:2! The big reversal was completed!

After the final whistle, all the players hugged each other excitedly. This was an overall victory. All the players were closely united and once again cleared an obstacle on the road to winning the championship with their tenacious will!

And there is also good news after the game. AC Milan was defeated 2:0 by Rachio in this round. From the beginning of the derby to this round, AC Milan only achieved 2 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses in the 6 league rounds. If the poor score also made Roma and Juventus, who were originally 5 points and 6 points, surpassed him after this round of league respectively. After the new coach took office, AC Milan not only had no hope of winning the championship, but even the qualification for the Champions League is no longer guaranteed. Currently, the gap between Inter Milan and second-place Roma has also widened to 9 points.

Inter Milan came to * in the middle of the week, and the second leg of the Italian Cup semi-finals of Inter Milan vs. Sampdoria was held as scheduled.

Since the league championship has basically been won, Wenger sent all the main players in this game. He has even focused on the cup competition. The double championship is a tempting title for everyone.

For Sampdoria, this season can be said to be bitter. She is currently ranked 10th in the league and has no worries about relegation. Although it seems to be a thing of the past compared to those poor relegation teams, it is embarrassing for those who spend a lot of money to introduce Seidorf and Calab. The Italian Cup has naturally become their only hope. There is nothing else. Only by winning this game can you explain this season!

This idiot game in the Italian Cup has also received special attention today, and the stadium is full. Sampdoria's performance in this game did not disappoint the audience at the beginning, led by Mancini, the "King of Sampdoria" and started an offensive football.

Sampdoria's offense was obviously quite good. For a time, Inter Milan's defense seemed a little messy under the opponent's crazy attack. Fortunately, the opponent's offense only blossomed but did not bear fruit. Maybe because they were too eager to succeed. After all, they not only needed to score three points, but also 2 goals to win.

But being too impatient is not a good thing after all. After they were unable to open the situation, Inter Milan succeeded first. Delvicio, who was in excellent condition recently, has won a 1:0 lead for Inter Milan. After this goal, the psychology of Inter Milan players has completely stabilized. Now they are full of confidence. They do not believe that there are teams in the world who can counterattack with their 2:0 lead, but it is a different matter if the goalkeeper is sent off...

Although Sampdoria's offensive was still the same, the soldiers of the Neptune had found their own rhythm, and time passed quickly.
Chapter completed!
