Three to zero!
With a pass and a shot from Su Dong and Vicente, Valencia beat the visiting Inter Milan at home!
It was the first time Valencia had beaten the Nerazzurri led by Cooper at the Mestagna, two years after his departure.
There were even many Valencia fans at the scene who shed tears of joy.
This is the resentment of countless of them in the past two years, and it has been rewarded this night!
And this is also the result that no one could have imagined before the game.
Many people think that Valencia has the ability to win, but they never expected to win [-]-[-], because Inter Milan's strength is not bad, and the team trained by Cooper has always been known for its defense. How could it suddenly encounter such a defeat?
Gazzetta dello Sport in Italy used [shocking] to describe this game.
They believe that Inter Milan's disastrous defeat came from a problem with coach Cooper's tactical play.
It's hard for any team to win against strong Valencia away, but Cooper's team tried to control the situation.
"You know, in the past two years, Cooper's Inter Milan met Valencia twice. In the four games, without exception, Inter Milan was at an absolute disadvantage on the scene, but won with tenacious defense, especially the two away games."
"But last night, in Mestagna, Cooper's team made people unable to see the usual safe defense. Almost every quick counterattack by Valencia will cause the panic in front of Inter Milan. This is very worrying."
"Only 2 minutes into the game, Sudong's goal sounded the alarm for Inter Milan, but Cooper did not make an immediate adjustment, and then Valencia repeatedly created threats. Materazzi and Cannavaro have been in Sudong's threats."
"The stubborn Cooper finally learned his lesson in the second half. Valencia's attack shortly after the start caused Inter Milan to concede goals one after another. Su Dong planned two very threatening counterattacks and assisted Vicente to score."
"There is no doubt that Su Dong and Vicente were the most threatening players in the Valencia team last night, but also the best performers. Among them, Su Dong was also elected as the best player of the game. This is his first official Champions League game. As a result, he became the best player in the game. Su Dong, who is only 19 years old, has shown amazing potential."
……
Subsequently, Gazzetta dello Sport used a whole page to discuss this game.
It is not surprising that they finally came to the conclusion that Cooper's tactical play is very problematic.
Abandoning the defensive counterattack in the past and wanting to actively control football is equivalent to using one's own shortcomings to touch the opponent's strengths, which is quite irrational.
Even in the second half, after Recoba played, Inter Milan adopted a four-two-three-one style of play, but they also failed to play a threat, because Recoba is not Rui Costa, his breakthrough ability is indeed very strong, but too sticky to the ball.
In the end, Gazzetta dello Sport believes that this fiasco in Spain will hit Inter Milan very hard, because they lost to the opponents they have defeated in the past two years.
"What's even more frightening is that behind this disastrous defeat, Cooper and Inter Milan have questioned and adjusted the team's technical, tactical and psychological levels. This is likely to lead to turmoil for Inter Milan."
……
Compared with the Gazzetta dello Sport, the Italian newspaper Nova simply pointed out that the most important thing for Inter Milan now is to change coaches.
"There is no doubt that Cooper is at the end of his rope. He has no way to lead this Inter Milan team to achieve higher results. Moratti needs to make a decisive choice. Should Cooper continue to lead the team, but in the end gain nothing, or for a long-term consideration, give up a season and let the new head coach run in and reform the team?"
Obviously, the position of the New Paper is biased towards letting Cooper get out of class.
The data from this game shows that Cooper's Inter Milan has a slight advantage in ball possession, and even a slight advantage in the number of shots, but the number of shots on goal is only half of Valencia's.
"That speaks volumes. Cooper has a serious problem with the offense."
"Vieri, Cruz, and Recoba are all top players in the world, but such an offensive lineup has never been able to work out a strong offensive combination. This is Cooper's dereliction of duty!"
……
Compared with the Italian media who blamed Cooper uniformly, the Spanish media seems a bit different.
Marca was very surprised by Valencia's complete victory, and spoke highly of Su Dong's performance, believing that he is already the most promising rookie in European football, and the future is worth looking forward to.
Not only that, Marca also quoted Valencia coach Benitez's remarks at the post-match press conference, saying that Cooper was in an embarrassing situation. From the club chairman to players to fans, everyone questioned him, forcing him to take some measures to cater to the outside world.
But it was precisely these moves that caused Cooper to suffer a fiasco.
"Debating this loss in depth, is it really Cooper's problem?"
"Changing a head coach can solve Inter Milan's problems?"
"Could it be that the media kept agitating the team before the game and put pressure on Cooper to demand that he adopt more aggressive tactics? Isn't it the media who are now accusing him of giving up his superior defensive counterattack and blindly choosing aggressive tactics when he adopts this tactical style of play?"
……
Luis Suarez, a famous Inter Milan star and special advisor to the chairman, also expressed a similar view in an interview with Aspen, believing that it is irresponsible to put all the responsibility for the failure on Cooper.
"In fact, long before the game, Cooper decided to give up his traditional advantages and adopt an aggressive ball-handling style. He was already doomed to suffer a loss at the Mestagna Stadium. The difference is only the number of goals conceded."
Suarez also mentioned Su Dong in the interview, thinking that Su Dong is now rapidly growing into the most dominant center in European football, "He is growing and improving at an amazing speed, and he has created too many surprises and surprises."
"He deserves the best player in the game, but he still has a considerable potential that has not been tapped. I think that in Valencia, under the guidance of Benitez, he can continue to improve."
Suarez did not respond directly to his unsuccessful attempts to persuade Moratti to sign Su Dong, taking into account Moratti's face, but at the same time said euphemistically, "For a player like Su Dong, it is worth signing at any time!"
Obviously, Suarez still wants to persuade Moratti to sign Su Dong.
……
From zero to one two years ago, to two to one last season, to three to zero this season.
Valencia can be said to be a step up every year.
The local fans are also satisfied with the team's performance this season, especially the performance of the new aid Su Dong, and they think that the 1000 million euros are quite worthwhile.
The Valencia Daily interviewed a core member of the local fan organization after the game. This die-hard Valencia fan said, "Before the earliest, we thought the club was crazy. Subiracs was just joking. He spent 1000 million euros to buy a young player. Is he serious?"
"But looking back now, we have to admit that Subirac did a great job!"
"With the introduction of Su Dong, the club has completely solved the hidden dangers of the club's striker line in the next ten years. I believe we will become more competitive in La Liga and the Champions League this season!"
The Valencia Daily also revealed that after defeating Inter Milan that night, Valencia fans celebrated wildly near the Mestagna Stadium, and several reveling drunk fans even had serious physical conflicts in the city center, disrupting social order, and the police had to arrest more than a dozen of them.
"This is very rare in Valencia. It can be seen how excited the fans are to beat Inter Milan and Cooper!"
……
The latest European football reports also appeared in major domestic newspapers and forums early the next morning.
Su Dong's Champions League debut was selected as the best player in the game. With one pass and one shot, he defeated Inter Milan, which has the largest number of fans in China. This made the domestic Nerazzurri fans very depressed.
On the one hand is the home team that I have supported for many years, and on the other is my compatriots from the motherland. It would be uncomfortable to change anyone.
But apart from being uncomfortable, he was more happy and excited for Su Dong.
This is the first player in Chinese history to land in the UEFA Champions League, and he became a blockbuster and broke the goal of Inter Milan. What an incredible achievement.
In the past in the Portuguese Super League, even if Su Dong performed well, he would be questioned, thinking that the level of the Portuguese Super League was too low.
After winning the UEFA Cup, it was still questioned. It was believed that the UEFA Cup had declined significantly in recent years and was far inferior to the high level of the Champions League.
But now, Su Dong played in the Champions League, and faced the giants Inter Milan in the Champions League group stage, and was elected the best player of the game.
Is there anything else to say about this?
Does it have to win a Champions League to prove Su Dong's strength?
A netizen wrote a post on the Tianya forum, which said: "Those who doubt Su Dong should stand up and see, they have been kneeling for so long that they have forgotten how to stand up!"
"Today's Su Dong scored three goals in three league rounds, and one pass and one shot in a Champions League group match. Isn't this performance not good enough for Su Dong, who has just turned 19?"
"Why is it that even the European authoritative media praised the players, but the fans in their own countries questioned them in every possible way?"
But the debate among netizens did not affect the appreciation of Su Dong from major domestic media, and even more and more people said that Su Dong is becoming the new standard-bearer of Chinese football and even Chinese sports.
In this wave, only the Football Association has remained silent and made no statement.
Su Dong is still in the suspension period, as for why the suspension, no one knows.
The better he does in the Europa League, the more embarrassing this unexplained ban becomes.
