Xiao Inzaji and Enrique, who will have the last laugh? (Expand piece) Xinhua News Agency reported that at 3 a.m. on June 1, Inter Milan will compete with Paris Saint-Germain for the championship in the Champions League final. When Inter Milan advances to the finals again within two years, we must not forget the head coach Xiao Inzaji who led the breakthrough. This Italian coach, who was overwhelmed by his brother in his age, has found his true home since joining Inter Milan. Two years ago, in the 2023 Champions League final, Inter Milan completed the first step of recovery under his leadership. Since then, the "Blue and Black Army" has completely gotten rid of the shadow of mid- and lower-level teams, won the Serie A championship last season and won the runner-up this season, while retaining the hope of winning the Champions League championship.

This is the highest level of an excellent coach: he doesn't have much enviable resume. After coaching Inter Milan, he also became the "burden" of the club and almost got out of class. However, after leading the team to the Champions League final for the first time, Inzaghi's understanding of football and Inter Milan has reached a new level, and he has forced this old-fashioned team to become a defensive counterattack team with defense as the main focus and two wings flying together. There is a reason why Bayern and Barcelona fell at their feet in succession.

Lautaro, under the guidance of Inzaghi, has made great progress in the past two years. In the 2022 World Cup, he was just Messi's background board, but a few years later, he has reached the Champions League final twice, especially this season, he set his own record with 9 Champions League goals. The "one high and one fast" front line with Toulam will hit the Paris defense line with slow turn around.

Of course, what makes Inzaggi most proud is Inter Milan's strong defense. In the first stage of the Champions League, Inter Milan conceded only one goal, the fewest among the 36 teams. In the knockout round, Inter Milan faced a stronger team, instead used more life-long attacks to show its championship attributes, with a total score of 4:3 with Bayern and 7:6 with Barcelona, ​​which also made Inzagji's coaching style confusing. In the final, facing Paris Saint-Germain, Inter Milan defended as firmly as the first stage, and Xu Tu made progress? Or do you attack with drastic attacks like you did in the knockout round? It's really hard to say.

Inter Milan has Inzagi Jr., while Paris Saint-Germain has Enrique. The fate of this coach is quite similar to the former. In the early days of coaching, they did not receive the respect the club deserved, but later they finally made everyone look at him with admiration through their own efforts.

This season is a year when Enrique and Paris Saint-Germain have experienced qualitative changes. After all the superstars such as Mbappe left, Enrique finally controlled the team's tactics and style of play, and built the team into a victorious army that cooperates and is both united and stable.

Enrique's most successful lies in transforming Dembele from a winger into an all-around forward. Last season, all tactics revolved around Mbappe, and now Dembele has more freedom, which makes Paris Saint-Germain's tactics more flexible and diverse.

Although both sides are equal in terms of paper strength and the coaches are all the best, the chance of the final will determine the final title. This is a duel against Mai Mang. According to the practice of the previous Champions League finals, the two teams will not have all their unique skills from the beginning. The fierce battle between the two sides in the midfield is inevitable, so it will be even more difficult to open up the situation. In this case, the coach's on-the-spot response will be very important. Whoever can discover the opponent's weaknesses and give a fatal blow first will have the lead in the final. Even if this game is dragged into overtime, the two teams will not easily reveal their flaws. Whoever breaks the deadlock first will have the advantage.

The annual Champions League final never disappoints people. After reaching the finals, Paris Saint-Germain and Inter Milan are already strong, but there is only one champion. Is it Paris Saint-Germain’s first championship, or is Inter Milan crowned again after 15 years? The answer is about to be revealed.
