The pressure of two gas a week, after this league match against Udinese, was finally released.
Inter was granted a rare week of respite with only one match.
Mancini gave the players a day off.
On Monday morning, the entire Inter Milan squad didn’t need to attend training.
Although the players got a rare chance to rest, the Inter First Team coaching staff was still working intensely.
They arrived at the training base on ti at 8 o’clock on Sunday morning.
No matter how tight the schedule, no matter how exhausting the work, Mancini always adhered to his professional standards and dedication to work.
On the morning after match day, a First Team coaching staff’s match review eting must be conducted.
Mancini was the first to arrive at the eting room at 7 AM.
He smoked one cigarette after another, only sitting down after everyone had arrived.
Winning, especially with a last-minute goal, made everyone in the First Team coaching staff very happy.
Such a match review was naturally full of joy.
Mancini was just about to speak when he suddenly noticed that Chiwo’s seat was empty.
He frowned and looked at his Rolex on his wrist; it was already one minute past 8.
Logically, Chiwo was never late, and he always arrived half an hour early for reviews, so why was he late today?
Just as he was puzzling over it, there was a hurried running sound in the corridor, and Chiwo rushed in.
"Sorry! Sorry, Mr. Mancini, colleagues, I’m a minute late."
Mancini didn’t scold Chiwo; instead, he looked at him and smiled.
Chiwo appeared disheveled, his hair ssy, with heavy dark circles, suggesting he hadn’t slept all night.
"What’s up, Christian, did you spend the night at a club with so girl?" Mancini teased deliberately.
There was a burst of good-natured laughter.
Chiwo smiled, walked straight to the display screen, opened his computer, and connected the data transfer line.
"Please don’t say that. I stayed up all night yesterday, closely studying the 90-minute match tape, and made a detailed analysis video to share with everyone."
According to tradition, each match’s post-ga review first had assistant coach Herrera highlighting key points.
Then each of the First Team coaching staff speaks in turn.
The technical analysis group, where Chiwo belonged, usually spoke later.
After everyone finished speaking, Mancini would give a summary.
But seeing Chiwo so absorbed with work, Mancini straightforwardly said:
"Well then, we won’t go in order today, let’s hear about your research findings first; you go ahead."
Chiwo, full of excitent, couldn’t wait to show his all-nighter results to everyone.
"In this match, due to the players’ stamina issues, we beca very passive after scoring at the start as the situation quickly changed."
"I studied sports psychology at the University of Bologna, so I know when a soccer match sees a team equalize just before the first half ends, it’s a terrible psychological signal for the team that was equalized! It can greatly impact our players’ performance in the second half."
"Sure enough, shortly after the start of the second half, we conceded another goal!"
"At one point, I thought we were going to face a ho defeat..."
At this point, Chiwo paused, and his voice suddenly increased in volu.
"But!"
"At this ti, I must say, of course, I’m not flattering our head coach, Mr. Mancini, but the adjustnts he subsequently made completely changed the course of the ga!"
Upon hearing this, Mancini’s hand trembled slightly.
He knew what Chiwo was about to do next.
Chiwo hadn’t said it yet, but Mancini naturally touched his brow again.
Seemingly due to scratching an itch, in reality, he was trying to mask his embarrassnt.
"Kovacic!"
"Moving Kovacic from a deep-lying midfielder to an attacking midfielder, and then letting Tang Long play the deep position!"
"This slight adjustnt significantly freed our attacking depth!"
"This move not only liberated Tang, allowing him more energy to organize the defense but also unleashed Kovacic, maximizing his attacking talents!"
"And after Kovacic linked up with Icardi to score the equalizer, Stramaccioni frantically sent on three strikers; at that mont, Mr. Mancini decided to substitute Podolski with Andreolli."
"At the ti, I wondered if we were settling for a draw and giving up on offense."
"But during my post-match review, I discovered that Mr. Mancini absolutely didn’t think that way because we can’t overlook soone, Tang! He had been moved to the deep-lying midfielder position."
Chiwo analyzed Tang Long in detail.
He examined Tang Long’s movents, receptions, shouts, body language, and other details during the match.
Fra by fra, he dissected tactical details on the eting room’s big screen.
"Tang Long as a deep-lying midfielder was just like Kovacic playing advanced attacking midfielder, another brilliant adjustnt by Mr. Mancini."
"Even though Udinese launched a ferocious offense, because Tang Long was orchestrating at defensive midfield, our backfield’s ball distribution remained smooth."
"I know after this match, we’re all marveling at Tang Long’s incredible last-minute goal!"
"But don’t forget how the attack before that lob shot was ford!"
"It originated from Tang Long, at the deep-lying midfield position, who provided a wonderful pass to Icardi! Even though Icardi couldn’t get the ball for a one-on-one, the opposing goalkeeper was forced to abandon his goal and headed the ball away. But without Tang’s long pass from the deep-lying position, there wouldn’t have been his later long-range last-minute winner!"
