Chapter 805 The Italian Super Cup Decisive Battle with Strong Chinese Style
Oh,
I saw Sneijder sending a long diagonal pass from the left. Dong Fangzhuo flashed past Samuel, successfully countered offside, removed the ball with his right foot, and immediately followed up with his left foot without any pause at all.
Bo,
The ball flew directly into the near corner of the goal...
The coordination is seamless and the shot is completed in one go.
Even Mourinho and Figo applauded at the same time. The two looked at each other and were surprised that Sneijder and Dong Fangzhuo could create brilliant sparks so quickly...
This kind of cooperation appeared at least five times in training, and Dong Fangzhuo also scored three goals with Sneijder's assists. In the other two times, he assisted Milito...
Mourinho was very satisfied with this training session. Although he made two adjustments in the lineup, he did not have any injuries. He can now prepare for the games with Shandong Luneng and the Italian Super Cup with peace of mind.
Two days later, they beat Shandong Luneng 5-0 at home, and then the team flew to Beijing.
The 2009 Italian Super Cup was held at the Bird's Nest in Beijing. The football environment in Italy has been sluggish in recent years, and even the market in China has almost disappeared. Everyone now likes the Premier League, but since Dong Fangzhuo joined Inter Milan, Serie A has become the favorite of the Chinese people again, and Inter Milan also immediately became the favorite team among Chinese fans.
Inter Milan itself has a strong fan base in China, plus Dong Fangzhuo? It’s like adding more power to a tiger. If the Italian Football Association allows it, Inter Milan can move their home court here...
In order to commemorate the first anniversary of the successful hosting of the Beijing Olympic Games and actively respond to the call for National Fitness Day activities, the "2009 Italian Super Cup Beijing Game" is scheduled to be held at the National Stadium (Bird's Nest) at 8 pm on August 8 this year. The participating parties are 08/ In the 2009 season, Serie A champion Inter Milan and Coppa Italia runner-up Lazio.
The world is a replica of the Italian Cup final...
Although it is a replica, holding it in Italy and holding it in Beijing are two different concepts. Even the ticket revenue is not at the same level.
According to a person from the China Sports Competition Management Group who is responsible for the ticketing of this match, single tickets for the Italian Super Cup are divided into 9 price points ranging from 180 yuan to 2880 yuan. The total box office revenue is expected to reach 70 million yuan. This will set a box office record for a football event held in China.
Previously, the box office record for domestic football events was set in the 2004 Asian Cup - the final between the Chinese team and the Japanese team. The total box office revenue at that time reached 32 million yuan. At present, the number of Italian Super Cup ticket sales has exceeded 50% of the total. According to the habits of Beijing fans, the Super Bowl ticket sales will hit a new high one week before the game.
During the preparations for the game in Beijing, Mourinho continued to practice technical and tactical coordination to allow Sneijder and Milito to adapt to the team as soon as possible. The formation is also constantly switching between 4321, 4231, 433 and 4312. No matter which formation, Sneijder performed very well, and then Balotelli and Coutinho were also integrated, giving Mourinho a wide range of choices. Wider.
Not to mention, Inter Milan’s fourth new aid Motta also arrived in Beijing...
At three o'clock in the afternoon on August 8, Mourinho attended the pre-match press conference.
At the meeting, some media interviewed Mourinho about whether Inter Milan would send all its main players to China. He said: "The Italian Super Cup is a traditional event and an important game before the start of the new season. In last year's Super Cup, In the cup, Inter Milan won Roma, and Inter Milan is bound to win this year's Super Cup. We will not leave any champion behind, so we will attack with all our strength! Contribute a wonderful game to Beijing fans and Chinese fans. You will You will see your national hero destroying the city in this game, haha."
He is obviously very happy and confident about winning the Super Bowl.
"If I dare to put Dong on the bench, I don't know if I can get out of the bird's nest..."
But Lazio's coach doesn't think so.
After Mourinho left, the Lazio coach talked freely.
"In the 1990s, Lazio came to Beijing to participate in games. This time I came back and found that Beijing has changed so much. The Bird's Nest Stadium is very big and beautiful. Lazio is honored to be able to play in such a modern stadium. Lazio We will play the most beautiful Italian football and dedicate it to the fans in Beijing."
"We have a good tradition and I can always make Inter Milan eat flies."
"I hope it will be the same this time."
"My guys know what to do..."
The thing about eating flies that impressed Inter Milan fans the most was naturally May 5, 2002. This was destined to be an unforgettable day: it was on that day that the Nerazzurri won the final round of Serie A in the 2001/02 season. In the game, they lost to the Blue Eagles 2:4 away from home and lost the Serie A championship trophy. Ronaldo was substituted in the second half of the game, and the way he cried on the bench is still fresh in the memory of Nerazzurri fans.
In fact, this is not the first time that Lazio has let Inter Milan "eat flies". In 2000, the two sides met in the Italian Super Cup. Argentina's "Little Bug" Lopez scored twice, and Mihajlovic and Stankovic's two Southern European muskets continued to show off; although Inter Milan was also led by Robbie. Keane, Farinos and Vampeta scored 3 goals, but the Nerazzurri fans still had to accept the fact that they lost 3-4 to their opponents and lost the Super Cup...
Anyway, if Inter Milan encounters Lazio at a critical moment, it seems that nothing good will happen to Inter Milan.
Then both sides announced the starting lineup.
Inter Milan sent its strongest lineup. Milito paired with Dong Fangzhuo on the striker. In addition, the team's star players Sneijder, Cambiasso, Lucio, Maicon, Cesar, etc. all started. On the defense, Lucio Austria's partner is Chivu, and captain Zanetti starts at left back. The Lazio team also sent a combination of Zarate and Rocky, and Cruz, who had just moved to the Blue Eagles from Inter Milan on a free transfer, served as a substitute.
Inter Milan (4-3-1-2): 12-Cesar/13-Maicon, 6-Lucio, 26-Chivu, 4-Zanetti/5-Stankovic, 19-Can Biasso, 14-Vieira/10-Sneijder/22-Milito, 9-Dong Fangzhuo
Substitutes: 12-Toldo, 2-Cordoba, 16-Burdisso, 39-Santon, 7-Coutinho, 23-Materazzi, 45-Balotri
Lazio (4-3-1-2): 86-Muslera/2-Lichtsteiner, 13-Sivilia, 87-Diakite, 11-Kolarov/32-Bro Key, 33-Baronio, 5-Mauri/8-Matuzalun/9-Rocky, 10-Zarat

"Dear viewers and fans, welcome to watch the 2009-10 Italian Super Cup final match between Inter Milan and Lazio. My name is Liu Jianhong, and Director Zhang and I are here to broadcast the match today."
Liu Jianhong's face was flushed and he looked very excited. He was a pure Inter Milan fan, but he had to wait for a full year before he could commentate on this game live.
At this time, he forgot to sit down, but stood up to explain. Zhang Lu kept secretly tugging on his pants and asked him to sit down without him noticing.
He was so excited that he spoke incoherently, "Today, today we are live broadcasting at the Bird's Nest,"
It's strange that he's not excited. He is an Inter Milan fan. He originally wanted to apply to go to Milan, Italy to broadcast every Inter Milan game, but who knew that the final candidates would be Zhang Lu and Huang Jianxiang! And he and Duan Xuan often commentate on other Italian games in the middle of the night in China.
But this is not what he wants, he just wants to commentate on Inter Milan's games.
After finally waiting for a year, I thought I could go the next year, right? As a result, the leader vetoed it again, Huang Jianxiang and Zhang Lu again...
Damn it, today in order to comfort his injured heart, the leader asked him to live broadcast the Italian Super Cup.
However, many fans in front of the TV were not satisfied.
"So it's him..."
"Where's Huang Jianxiang..."
"well……"
"The Italian Super Cup came to China for the first time. Faced with the rare opportunity to see Inter Milan and Lazio on weekdays, I couldn't contain my excitement even though I have been explaining Serie A for a long time." Liu Jianhong kept expressing his excitement and did not sit down. Zhang Lu I don’t feel much about it, since he almost always broadcasts live in Italy...
"This year's Bird's Nest Stadium was full, with nearly 100,000 fans pouring in. This scene has not been seen for a long time, and it was more lively than last year's Olympic men's football final."
At this time, the two teams had already walked out of the stadium, and the audience immediately cheered.
"Dong Fangzhuo!"
"Dong Fangzhuo!"
"Dong Fangzhuo!"
Everyone only calls one person's name, and besides Dong Fangzhuo, it's nothing!
"Dong,"
"It's great that you are here!"
Dong Fangzhuo was the last one to walk out of the field. Vieira in front was envious. The two had been teammates for a year and had already talked about everything. Although Vieira spent more time lying on the hospital bed or on the bench, it did not affect the two. Personal relationships quickly become heated.
"This is nothing..."
"Only 100,000 people."
"..."
“This is the fourth time that the Italian Super Cup has been held overseas. The previous three times, without exception, the league champions won the Super Cup. This is also part of the National Stadium’s Bird’s Nest Olympics anniversary activities.
"Inter Milan wore a Chinese jersey with the Chinese character "Pirelli Tire" printed on it, and Lazio's jersey also had the Chinese character "Roma is looking forward to you" printed on the front."
"This is an Italian Super Cup with a strong Chinese flavor."
Beep——
The battle begins!
Inter Milan took the lead to kick off, and Dong Fangzhuo knocked the ball back to Sneijder. After Sneijder moved the ball to the wing, he followed it, while Milito and Dong Fangzhuo had already moved forward.
Sneijder received the ball on the left, and then skillfully sent a long diagonal pass with his right foot!
"ah!"
"nice shot!"
Sneijder directly connected with Dong Fangzhuo, just like in training. Dong Fangzhuo grabbed two positions next to Lazio central defender Diakite, hooked his right foot, removed the ball and immediately dunked towards the center, Diakite. Kit's clumsy body was completely unable to stop him, but Dong Fangzhuo immediately sent a direct pass with his left foot. Milito knew it and inserted his right foot to shoot directly into the far corner!
Snapped--
Lazioun threw Muslera to the ground...
