Chapter 857 Luck is also a part of strength
During the International Match Week, most of the players of Inter Milan's first-team team returned to China to participate in the competition, and only a few players such as Zheng Zhi stayed at the training base. Mourinho's training requirements for players staying in the team are not high, just simple basic training to ensure good health and wait for the upcoming Italian national derby.
Of course, Mourinho is more worried that those players who return to China to participate will not only have their condition problems, but may also have new injuries, which is a bad thing for the upcoming national derby.
Zheng Zhi was relaxed, so he simply ran to the youth team to see Dong Fangzhuo and the others. After all, the future Chinese national team is here.
As he was interested, he simply joined the team and formed a Chinese team with Dong Fangzhuo and others to play against Inter Milan Youth Team. It was originally just a game of play, but he didn't expect the game to have an amazing result.
The Chinese team actually defeated the Inter Milan Youth Team 5:3.
With Zheng Zhi in the midfield, the Chinese team was not at a disadvantage in the game, but they played quite steadily. Dong Fangzhuo scored a hat trick in the game. Zheng Zhi gave Dong Fangzhuo a straight pass with a scalpel three times, and Dong Fangzhuo accepted it one by one.
There are not many people watching the game on site, but many of them are scouts from various European clubs, including scouts from the Premier League Manchester United clubs. They met Dong Fangzhuo again.
"This Dong,"
"It seems to be stronger than we thought."
"If he stood behind him in a midfield that specializes in feeding him the ball, the goal would be like taking a picture?"
Two Manchester United scouts started to communicate in private.
"But is Zheng standing behind him. Will it be someone else?"
"Why can't Scholes do it? He can certainly feed beautiful balls."
After the game, Zheng Zhi invited all the players from the Chinese team to eat at a local Chinese restaurant, which was also a reward for these young guys. During the meal, Zheng Zhi inspired everyone again, hoping that everyone can work hard and train hard, and strive to sign professional contracts with European clubs as soon as possible.
In China, the appointment of the Chinese team coach has also caused great response.
The news that the Football Association wanted to appoint Clauchen as the head coach of the Chinese national team spread wildly, but many so-called experts came out to express their opinions, believing that Clauchen is too old and that his tactical philosophy is definitely not as good as Zhu Guanghu, who has always followed Horton.
Shenma "Sports Weekly", "Football News", and Sohu.com are all on Zhu Guanghu's side. This surprised the leaders of the Football Association.
The pressure of public opinion has to be considered.
In the end, the Football Association boss betrayed Zheng Zhi...
He confessed to the media about the entire process of chatting with Zheng Zhi...
Zheng Zhi was embarrassed.
Zhu Guanghu was also embarrassed.
Zhu Guanghu naturally knew that the reason why he could not be the head coach of the national team was because of Zheng Zhi's words...
Zheng Zhi didn't know that he hadn't read the domestic news. He had already started preparing for the Italian national derby. Zhu Guanghu wouldn't be so stupid that he called Zheng Zhi to question...
※※※※
The Italian national team this week was not satisfactory in the European arena. Italy's defeat in Wales greatly undermined the Apennines' self-esteem. However, the Italians, who have always paid attention to the domestic league, immediately found new stimulation. The national derby started on Saturday, and the Nerazzurri Inter Milan and the Black and White Division Juventus will stage the first giant dialogue of Serie A this season.
This may be the expected result when we got the schedule of this season. Perhaps the current record of the two teams has stimulated their fans, and the tickets for Meacha's game have been sold out.
Although the ticket window had been closed tightly, many fans who had not waited for the ticket were still waiting there in a silly manner and were unwilling to leave.
Of all the tickets, about 50,000 have been delivered to Inter Milan fans who have booked season tickets, and about 25,000 were sold through the club's ticket window, the People's Bank of Milan, which has long been accused of some ticketing for Inter Milan, and Milan's institutions specializing in various ticketing services.
Juventus fans who came from afar were treated quite well. With the popularity of tickets, more than 5,000 tickets were still reserved for them. There were 3,000 extra seats available, but because this battle was very important, fans of both sides became excited early. In order to prevent accidents, safety personnel on the scene left an isolation area of more than 3,000 seats between the fans of both sides.
The fans who couldn't enter the game to watch the game still did not give up. Many people chose the scalper. If they really had no choice, they could only act early and hope for the next confrontation between the two sides in Turin.
In this battle, Inter Milan is still full of wounds, Vieri is still troubled by muscle strains and ankle sprains, Matrachi is still not on the roster, Buffon may return, and after returning from the national arena, Zanetti has muscle fatigue, and Grasco and Carvalho seem to need rest. Mourinho has not made many adjustments, but fortunately, Robben, Ronaldo and Adriano are still jumping around...
Although Adriano was revealed to spend a good night with two girls after the game during his return to China, Mourinho, who is far away in Italy, pretended not to hear that he now needs the combat power of a young lover...
Juventus is not very good either. French center Trezeguet is also troubled by a knee injury, and Divayo may also be absent. Uruguayan defender Montero has just undergone a meniscus repair surgery on his left knee. Even according to the most optimistic estimate, he will still miss at least 9 games. Without such a defensive player, Lippi's arrangement in the backcourt has become very difficult.
For the first watershed game of the season, Juventus coach Lippi pretended to be relaxed at the press conference on Friday: "We admit that there is indeed pressure, but our preparation will be more than 10 minutes. We all know the significance of this game, but the results of the game are not decisive for the whole season. We only played in the fifth round. Even if we are 7 points behind Inter Milan, we will not cut the championship logo from our clothes and give it to them."
Lippi believes that winning in Meazza will naturally boost morale and increase confidence, but Juventus does not value the result of this game. This statement also relieves pressure for the players. Speaking of the players' situation, Lippi showed his true nature again. "The doctor has agreed that Divayo can participate, but Trezeguet's injury has not healed yet. He will have to wait until next Wednesday's Champions League to play."
A reporter asked whether the performance of the Italian national team would affect the main emotions. Lippi replied: "Even if their condition is only 50%, it is enough for us, and they all recovered quite well."
In the end, Lippi did not forget to continue to put pressure on his opponent. He said: "According to Inter Milan's recent performance, after they win one game, they will definitely not win the next game, so they will most likely lose in this game. The last time they lost to Lyon in Meacha, and this time it will be the same. Home court is nothing to them at all."
Compared with Lippi's complacent performance at the press conference, Mourinho was much more low-key, but Mourinho also said that Inter Milan has never been afraid of losing in the game against Juventus. Mourinho said: "The game against Juventus is one of the most important games, and the whole of Italy is paying attention to this fierce battle in different ways. I believe the game will be very good."
"I will line up Ronaldo, Adriano and Robben's three forward attack combination. Buffon can already participate in the game. Zanetti and the others have recovered well. I think two days are enough for them to come back to their senses..."
Well, it's just Mourinho's self-comfort, how can Inter Milan be so optimistic?
The next morning, when he announced the roster, Vieri, Matrazi, Sanetti, and Buffon were not on the roster, and Inter Milan almost lost half of its main players.
However, even so, Inter Milan is still waiting for Juventus to arrive in Meacha. At home, Inter Milan is the two opponents that they are least willing to lose, one is AC Milan in the same city, and the other is Juventus.
The atmosphere in the locker room should have been very tense, but there were two guys who were talking loudly about a non-related game.
"Depend on,"
"That guy is definitely confused,"
"Just lucky!"
"I don't think it's luck. Look at his physical confrontation, running and extraordinary skills, he has definitely been trained a long time ago. Arsenal lost at all. They underestimated the enemy too much and thought that the young players were not threatening enough."
"What are you discussing? It seems that I just watched a wonderful game?" Zheng Zhi stood behind them, feeling relieved that these two guys didn't take the Italian national derby to heart. Logically speaking, young people will be very nervous when they appeared on the national derby for the first time, but they didn't, and seemed to be quarreling about something.
Ronaldo immediately said, "We are discussing a Premier League game just now. Everton's home game against Arsenal. Arsenal's 30 unbeaten games were fucked."
"Ah, yes, why did I forget this game? Poor Ou Chuliang..." He couldn't help but contempt for Ou Chuliang. Standing on the Arsenal goal line was no longer Ximan, but Ou Chuliang. Arsenal's unbeaten 30 games at home was created by Ou Chuliang.
But, the one who killed them should be the young player Rooney? His memory is still quite profound.
Rooney is going to become famous in one battle.
Time is really fast, these guys are gradually emerging on the field. Maybe there is still one Messi missing?
"The goal was a guy as old as ours. Rooney. He shot Arsenal with a 30-meter shot. That guy was so amazing!" Robben was full of praise for Rooney.
"I said that was confused, that guy was not that powerful." Little Ronaldo still insisted on his point of view.
Zheng Zhi smiled, "Luck is also part of strength. After all, they scored a goal and defeated Arsenal. If you can do it, you will become the heroes of Meacha today. This is a national derby. What are you paying attention to others? Think carefully about how to kill Juventus and become a hero in the game!"
"Yes, that guy has the luck, why can't we do it?" Ronaldo's eyes lit up. He only played for 15 minutes in the game for the middle of the week, and he didn't have any fun. He had to vent anyway today.
"I want to open the first record!" Robben's eyes also became hot.
...
...
Juventus had previously tied two consecutive draws and was 4 points behind Inter Milan. However, Inter Milan's biggest opponent is AC Milan, and AC Milan is only 2 points behind them. Once Inter Milan cannot win in this game and AC Milan wins Atlanta, it will surpass it to the top of the list due to the advantage of goal difference.
The bald referee Corina enforced the Italian derby for the third time. The previous two times were Inter Milan defeating Juventus 2-0 away in the 1992-93 season, and Inter Milan fought with Juventus at home in the 1996-97 season.
Juventus' starting lineup is 4312: goalkeeper Toldo; defenders Toulam, Ferrara, La Navarro, Bilindeli; midfielder Camoranesi, Tudor, Davis, Nedved; forward Salas, Piero.
Inter Milan's starting plastic surgery was 433: goalkeeper Fontana, defenders Panucci, Cordoba, Stam, Grasco; midfielder Dibiagio, Cambiaso, Zheng Zhi; forward Ronaldo, Adriano, and Robben.
Zheng Zhi and Pierro walked in front with captain's armbands respectively. The two had a few words before, but after walking out of the stadium, the expressions of the two became solemn. Inter Milan fans suppressed the voices of Juventus fans with their number of people at home, and when broadcasting the names of Juventus players, they gave a huge boo.
Juventus head coach Lippi was not spared, he was verbally and ridiculed by Inter Milan fans behind the coach's seat. Lippi's experience in Inter Milan was a failure, and fans always thought that he forced Roberto Baggio away...
Just as the game started, Juventus turned against the norm and actually turned away, suppressing Inter Milan! Taking advantage of Inter Milan's foothold, Touram on the right rushed forward to assist and played a wall-to-strike with Lamoranesi. Then Camoranesi knocked the ball across the middle, Tudor shot with his right foot at the edge of the penalty area, and the ball slightly missed the goal.
Inter Milan tried to organize the attack, but Davis, who was still strong, was close to Zheng Zhi. Zheng Zhi distributed the ball to Cambiaso. After Cambiaso took the ball, he wanted to find Robben, but he didn't expect that Nedved suddenly came out from behind him and stabbed the ball under his feet. Then he immediately handed the ball to Pierro, hit Pierro and cooperated with Pierro, and ran behind Zheng Zhi and suddenly took a long shot!
boom--
Nedved's head was too hard, and the ball went straight to the lower right corner of the goal! Fontana was very focused and fell to the ground to save the ball from the bottom line, not allowing Nedved's long-range shot to successfully attack!
Corner kick.
Chapter completed!
