Inter Milan’s transformation in Mourinho’s first year

He came after Mancini failed in the Champions League and dismissed get out of class sadly. Mourinho, the greatest coach in the history of Inter Milan, came with 4231.

As mentioned in the previous article, the reason why Mancini's team failed in the Champions League. Obviously, Mourinho discovered the problem and brought his magic weapon for success in the Premier League 4231. Mourinho also started out defensively. This lineup relies on both wings to counterattack. In theory, relying on wingers can solve Inter Milan's previous problem of no breakthroughs and no explosive points.

It is a pity that Mourinho chose Quaresma, a well-connected player, and Mancini, who was acquired from Roma, as the winger. Quaresma had had an unsuccessful experience at Barcelona before, and in the few games after arriving, his characteristics were revealed again. It's so flashy that it makes others dizzy first. Even if he succeeds in passing someone, he will just make a blind pass or a blind shot afterwards. Mancini performed well during his time in Roma, capable of sudden shots and speed. After coming to our university, I was completely out of shape. I don’t know why. The center Mourinho chose Da Fengxian, and the attacking midfielder used Muntari. At that time, Mourinho seemed to expect him to become a Lampard.

After playing some games like this, Mourinho found that the two wingers were unreliable, Muntari was unreliable, and only Ibrahimovic was trustworthy. At the same time, because Serie A is not like the Premier League, most teams adopt a defensive style of play and their tactics are changeable. There is only one Ibrahimovic and no second scoring point, so there is no way to score goals. Therefore, this change of 4231 failed.

Fortunately, Mourinho is a flexible coach. He returned to the simple and crude 4312 double forward tactic and won his first Serie A championship.

This year, Ibrahimovic scored more than 20 goals at the center position and became a world-famous star, sowing the seeds for subsequent expansion. Bashen further grew, got more playing opportunities and scored more goals. It laid the foundation for becoming the first substitute forward for Inter Milan during the Triple Crown period in the coming year. Stankovic was completely abandoned in the early stage, but later impressed Mourinho with his strength and attitude, and became the first substitute in the midfield during the Triple Crown period.

At the same time, Mourinho decided to continue to use the 4312 formation in Serie A, which means that the players need to be upgraded. At this time, no matter how optimistic Inter fans were, they never thought that what awaited them was the greatest season in Inter Milan's history. What I didn't even expect was that Ibrahimovic, the number one star at this time, contributed his own strength to Inter Milan's success in different ways [呲呲][呲呲][呲呲].
