Kivo Inter Milan: Embrace "modern football", simple routines are seen through

Sports Weekly Special Correspondent Xiao Wu

Inter Milan came to the Club World Cup with a more complicated mood than other teams. The disastrous defeat in the Champions League final half a month ago, coupled with the sudden resignation of head coach Simeone Inzaghi, although it cannot be said that this is a club that is in a mess, many aspects have returned to the starting point. According to Chairman Marota, a new cycle has begun, although such a start is not perfect.

Givu's player era has a winning temperament, and has won numerous trophies. He won both the first matches representing Ajax and Roma, but his first game to join Inter Milan lost to his old club Roma in the Super Cup. As a coach, Kivo also got off to a good start. Before taking over Parma, the team from Emilia Romagna region had lost 7 consecutive games and lost 5 games in the last 6 games. However, Kivo had just taken office and won the much stronger overall Bologna and achieved a valuable 3 points for the final relegation.

So Kifu is a coach who has a lucky chance of winning, but when he was in Inter Milan's first team, such a record came to an abrupt end. In fact, the team not only has a complicated mood, but also has a very complex goal. The Club World Cup is still warm-up after all, but few teams really come to train. Ji Fu, who is in charge of Inter Milan today, needs to achieve the goal of training while completing competitive goals. While making as much money as possible, you must also ensure the quality of the game and form a set of your own playing style in a short time on the basis of rejuvenating the players. This difficulty can be imagined.

Gava brought a lot of changes, especially in the first half, the team accelerated, more front court presses, more touches with one kick, cross-running and direct passes, hitting the opponent behind the ribs, this is a classic routine in modern football. The advantage is that it is fast to get started, but it is poorly targeted, making it difficult to play at a higher level. So we saw Inter Milan hand in the answer sheet of the highest expected goal in the first half of the Club World Cup so far (OPTA data is 1.9), but the score is 1-1.

Sergio Ramos' header was wonderful, but for most of the time, Inter Milan was still the active side, and that corner kick was even Monterrey's only chance. Monterrey put too much pressure on the first half and did not start to increase the intensity until 60 minutes later. It can be seen that Inter Milan was a little struggling at this time and even had the risk of being overtaken. The Mexican team enjoys nearly home games in California and is familiar with the local weather. When Inter Milan's simple routine is seen through, it is conceivable to fall into a passive situation.

In any case, this is a brand new Inter Milan, not as strong as the label of the Inzaghi era, and the young Kivo is still exploring his own model. However, some changes can still be seen from this game. After Aslani left the court, new players Sucic and Barrera were equivalent to double midfielders, Mkhitaryan was pushed forward, and soon Zalevsky came on as a substitute and appeared behind the two forwards as a free agent. Kifu's use of this position is more radical than that of Inzaghi, Inter Milan is more like a set of 3412. After the game, Kifu also revealed that a solution needs to be found, either a front midfielder with two forwards, or two front midfielder with one center, which is rarely seen in the Xiaoyin era.

captain Lautaro revealed another detail after the game: the team's set-piece defense has been changed to regional man-marking. From playing style to tactical arrangement, players need to adapt again. Kivo almost ushered in the United States to the opportunity to train together. Previously, he was affected by the national team's game day and did not have enough time to practice.

Technology and tactics can also be used instead of training. There may be improvements in every game, but psychological trauma may take longer to recover. Many players on the team are still in a state of physical and mental exhaustion. At the same time, the club is also suffering from constant interference from the outside world. The CEO of Riyadh Crescent was interviewed before the game and bluntly stated that the negotiations with Simeone Inzaghi were earlier than the Champions League final, and therefore many media began another round of criticism, even though it had been half a month since the incident.

Marotta's attitude represents the club: "This is the end of one cycle, the beginning of another cycle. These are normal situations, and I will not chase those rumors, statements or refutes. Everyone knows what they have done, and we are grateful for everything Inzaghi has brought us. But Inter's history continues, and today we are very happy with Kivo." Such a speech not only retains the club's face, but also reveals the facts, and gives the ex a step. The most important thing is to convey the signal of "looking forward". Inzaji's departure is already a fait accompli. The media's various hypes are still Inter Milan itself, quelling the controversy, downplaying the influence, and giving full trust to the new coach. This is what the club should do.
