433VS442.

Before the game, both sides observed a minute of silence for the Japanese Football Association officials who had just passed away. Inter Milan kicked the ball first, but Cambiaso made a mistake in his cross pass and was intercepted by Argentine forward Cordoba. Panucci had to foul the left side of the front of the penalty area, giving Olympia a good positioning ball.

Olympia's Lopez drove the ball into the penalty area, and Argentine forward Cordoba scored a shot in chaos in front of the goal, almost knocking on Buffon's goal.

After the shock, Inter Milan immediately controlled the situation on the court, and Ronaldo became the focus of the court.

In the third minute, Ronaldo and Robben exchanged positions and dribbled the ball from the left to the middle, but unfortunately his teammates did not respond in time. However, a minute later, Inter Milan found the first opportunity to shoot for the whole game, but Ronaldo was still. When he returned to the right, he rushed into the penalty area and headed the ball from the right side of the penalty area to the bottom line.

Two minutes later, Ronaldo found a chance to kick again, and shot hard by Paraguay's substitute national goalkeeper Tavalelli. Today, Ronaldo scored and worked hard, and his running was much more than before when he played in Serie A.

Inter Milan basically controlled the situation, while Olympia could only rely on fast counterattacks to seek breakthroughs. The pace of the game was very fast. Many attempts failed to work. Inter Milan was a little impatient and several long passes were blocked by Olympia's defenders. In the 9th minute, Robben used his speed to break through on the left, and shot after passing the ball, but was blocked by Tavalelli from the baseline.

In the 11th minute, Adriano passed the ball to the left-back Grasco, who had been active, who was blocked by Seyara from the baseline.

Inter Milan's offense went higher and higher, and finally scored a goal in the 13th minute. Robben made a low pass and Adriano made a clever pass. Ronaldo received the ball in the middle and pushed the ball with his right foot and scored a goal. 1:0, Inter Milan got a perfect start.

Olympia took advantage of Inter Milan's joy of scoring and launched a quick counterattack on the right, and Benitez's shot hit the post. Since then, Olympia's lack of experience has been exposed, and the number of offside and fouls has increased frequently, and there are not many opportunities in the frontcourt.

In the 29th minute, Luo Miao passed the ball to Zanetti who was inserted. The Argentine dribbled the ball over a defender and shot hard with his right foot, but unfortunately the ball was too high for the lintel.

In the 33rd minute, Olympia No. 10 Miguel Benitez fouled against Diviagio and received a yellow card. In the 35th minute, Ronaldo was tripped by a person at the front of the penalty area. Inter Milan won a free kick at the top of the penalty area. Ronaldo's powerful shot was blocked by a wall. One minute later, Ronaldo broke through in the frontcourt and shot with his left foot. He was blocked by the defender and then pushed out of the baseline. The corner kick was also pushed out by the defender.

The little Luo shines in Yokohama National Stadium, which has become his personal performance stage.

Inter Milan played casually and easily after leading. Olympia seemed to have lost the courage to equalize, but she was also reluctant to threaten her opponent. In the 40th minute, Matrazi made a long pass, Olympia made a cross from the right, and Lopez pushed the ball against Buffon and shot the lower right corner of the goal, but was saved by Buffon.

In the 42nd minute, Adriano defended the ball from the front of the penalty area and hit Robben, but unfortunately the latter hit the ball high. Later, Olympia took a free kick from 28 meters in the frontcourt and was blocked by Inter Milan defender.

At the end of the first half, Inter Milan's possession rate reached 63%. Although Olympia also had a chance to shoot, the threat was not great. The easy game made Inter Milan fans forget Zheng Zhi on the bench.

In the past, Inter Milan played quite hard without Zheng Zhi's game, but in the last three games, Inter Milan's performance has been getting better and better with Robben and Ronaldo's wonderful performance. It is still thrilling to draw AC Milan 2:2, and killing 4:1 can be said to be amazing. Now playing Olympia is like a college student playing a middle school student?

Inter Milan looks like it has changed.

During the intermission, even Mourinho's tone of speech became much gentler than usual. However, he would not be so stupid that he really forgot Zheng Zhi. When he was speaking, he had already asked Zheng Zhi and Recoba to go out to warm up early.

When the Chinese fans at Yokohama National Stadium saw Zheng Zhi walk onto the stadium to warm up, they finally cheered.

How could there be no Zheng Zhi without such a grand festival? Although Ronaldo and his friends performed well, they believe that if Zheng Zhi played, the game would be more exciting and Inter Milan would play more gorgeously.

However, after the start of the second half, Mourinho did not replace Zheng Zhi immediately, but just asked Zheng Zhi to continue to warm up on the sidelines.

Olympia's team has not improved much, and it is still the protagonist of Inter Milan. In the 46th minute, Zanetti made a beautiful pass, and Adriano's shot from the right side was wide of the baseline.

One minute later, Ronaldo was knocked down after breaking through, and Inter Milan won another free kick in the frontcourt. Ronaldo pretended to shoot, but transferred the ball to Zanetti, who shot hard and missed the far corner.

In the 53rd minute, Robben received a pass from Dibiagio, easily dunked a defender and missed the shot.

Inter Milan still controls the rhythm of the game. Olympia's midfielder cannot control the ball, which may be related to their tactical deployment. Coach Pompidou is too afraid of Inter Milan's attack power and adds a midfielder to assist 4 defenders in defense.

It can be seen that Olympia still did not give up.

Inter Milan has not yet scored the second goal. Finally, Mourinho sent Zheng Zhi. Zheng Zhi on the field, and Cambiaso came out. After three games, he became Inter Milan's midfield commander again.

Zheng Zhi's appearance increased Inter Milan's control, Robben and Ronaldo ran harder and moved forward.

Ronaldo won consecutive shots.

In the 68th minute, Ronaldo received Zheng Zhi's straight pass and missed. Soon after, Roben also received Zheng Zhi's assist. Unfortunately, his left-footed shot was also lifted out of the lintel by Tavalelli.

Olympia's defense suffered an even greater test and was completely suppressed by Inter Milan and could only hide in half.

In the 75th minute, Zheng Zhi made a pass in the middle of the penalty area, and Adriano's shot was blocked by Pedro Benitez...

Three minutes later, Zheng Zhi passed the middle again. Adriano passed two consecutively in the penalty area and shot but was blocked by the defender!

Mourinho really couldn't stand it anymore, so he finally let Recoba replace Robben and replace Adriano with Tony. Inter Milan's offense still did not slow down.

In the 84th minute, Zheng Zhi divided the right side, and Ronaldo crossed to Olympia's back point. Recoba headed the ball, Tavalelli couldn't react in time, and the ball flew into the net, 2:0. Recoba scored a goal after the first touch.

The score finally stabilized, Inter Milan began to retreat and defended the victory. This also gave Olympia a second shot in the second half in the 87th minute.

Until the 87th minute, unfortunately Olympia's striker Lopez was a ridiculously scam. Inter Milan made a third substitution and Diviagio was replaced by Dalma.

In 3 minutes of stoppage time, Olympia had not lost her fighting spirit. Except for the goalkeeper, everyone else passed the half. As a result, in the 92nd minute, Zheng Zhi sent out a precise guidance from his own penalty area. The ball passed the half and fell into the front right. Ronaldo quickly inserted it and successfully counter-offside. Then he drove the ball to Olympia's penalty area, passed the attacking goalkeeper, and pushed the ball into the empty goal.

3:0.

Inter Milan easily defeated Olympia at Yokohama Stadium and defended the Toyota Cup.

After the game, Ronaldo and Zheng Zhi both scored 10 points, but because Zheng Zhi played too little, Ronaldo scored two goals, and Ronaldo finally won the title of Best Player and drove away the Toyota car.

In 2002, Inter Milan won the Italian Cup, the Italian Super Cup, the European Super Cup, the Italian League One Championship, the Champions League, and the Toyota Cup championship, achieving six championships. If even the TIM Cup championship is included, they can also be called the Seven Championship. They did it last year, but they did it this year.

On major sports pages after the game, photos of Ronaldo running and celebrating became headlines. Ronaldo is considered the number one contributor to Inter Milan winning the Toyota Cup.

Italian "Milan Sports" - From the 10th to the 7th, Inter Milan's goal scepter has been handed over. Cristiano Ronaldo is telling the world that he is expected to become the third world-class Ronaldo, and Inter Milan fans are quickly forgetting the original Ronaldo.

French "League" - Cristiano is now one of the best young players, and he is walking in the right direction.

Portugal's "National" - he is the new Eusebio!

German "Kicker" - Zheng Zhi finally became a green leaf, and Cristiano Ronaldo shines around the world under his embellishment!

Brazil's Global Sports - His name is Ronaldo Ronaldinho, Kaka and Adriano should be careful, this guy is definitely their number one enemy in the future!

Mourinho also praised Ronaldo at the post-match press conference.

"Cristiano's performance is extraordinary. I remember that few people can do this at this age. His future must be at the Golden Ball level."

"He is getting more and more mature. This maturity is very similar to Zheng back then. This makes me even doubt whether it means failure if a player cannot succeed when he is not seventeen or eighteen years old? Haha, I'm just kidding..."

"Now I finally don't need to worry about the goals of the forward players, and the media no longer need to say that we can only rely on the midfield to score goals! I am looking forward to the next league game against Udinese."

※※※※

The victory even led some football commentators to express unexpected views.

Sky Sports commentator Adani said in a shocking statement: "It is undeniable that Zheng's appearance has made Inter Milan's control stronger, but this is not an essential problem. The essential problem is that Ronaldo and Robben have been completely integrated into the team. They can decide the game through their personal abilities. Even if Zheng does not play today, Inter Milan can win the final victory."

The person who holds similar opinions is AC Milan legend Rijkaard. He said in an interview with the Milan Sports Daily: "Inter Milan is faster without Zheng. Zheng is used to controlling the ball, while several young people prefer speed and passion. Although Zheng can send a lot of good goals, I think the reason why Inter Milan has performed differently in recent games is that it does not rely too much on Zheng, and its tactical style has changed. Zheng is no longer an indispensable player for Inter Milan."

?

"What kind of idiot report is this?" Mourinho, who returned to Milan City, read the report and really wanted to curse, "Adani and Rijcard are both AC Milanese. Are they two plotting against each other?"

Only fools would believe what they said. I am afraid they would not be ashamed of Inter Milan's goodness, so I would say so. Zheng Zhi is the most important player in Inter Milan. Without Zheng Zhi, there would be no Inter Milan's dynasty.

Morati also read the report and reacted even harder. The next day he called Wu Di and told Wu Di directly that the club was preparing to renew his contract with Zheng Zhi for a raise.

Wu Di forwarded the words to Zheng Zhi.

But unexpectedly, Zheng Zhi told Wu Di.

"Let's talk at the end of the season."

Wu Di was very surprised.

"Why? Isn't it true that Inter Milan attaches importance to you? You didn't read the news that you are not an indispensable player in Inter Milan. Mr. Morati immediately gave you a raise, which shows how much he attaches to you."

"Because I don't need a raise, it doesn't make any sense to add this little money. Let's save it until the end of the season."

"Really?" Wu Di looked at his cousin, but still didn't believe it.

"Don't you want to leave?"

"..." Zheng Zhi was silent for a few seconds and smiled, "Okay, I really don't want to renew my contract so early. I can't always stay in the same club. I want to play football in a different league. It will be boring to stay in the same place to play football. Isn't it better to challenge in another place? Inter Milan has won the six championship twice, and maybe it's time to leave next season."

Zheng Zhi still expressed his true thoughts.

"this……"

Wu Di was still surprised when he heard Zheng Zhi's explanation. He thought Zheng Zhi would stay in Inter Milan. After all, he is at the peak now. Who would have thought of leaving the team?

"It's not really because of today's report that made you want to leave? That's just the media's writing, deliberately creating conflicts for Inter Milan."

"Of course not, why do I think so?"

"Then... I can't speak with Morati and the others?" Wu Di still looked bitter.
