Chapter 488: Strong Objection

The team affairs meeting in the afternoon was mainly to discuss how to play the Serie A with Parma and the Champions League group stage with Barcelona.

Parma is no longer the seven sisters of Serie A in the World Cup. They have just been promoted from Serie B, and they can't pose a threat to Inter Milan. The focus of this team meeting is still the Champions League group match with Barcelona.

The draw for the UEFA Champions League group stage was conducted before the Milan Derby. At that time, Inter Milan focused all their energy on the Derby, and no one considered the UEFA Champions League. Now they can finally transfer most of their energy to the UEFA Champions League.

Inter Milan has three opponents in the group stage, Barcelona, ​​Rubin Kazan, and Dynamo Kiev. In such a group, it should be no problem to qualify normally. The key is to compete with Barcelona for the first place in the group.

Mourinho used to be a small translator for Barcelona. This background makes Mourinho always want to beat Barcelona to prove himself. In addition, if he can beat the defending champion in the group stage and beat the defending champion to qualify, it will greatly improve Inter Milan's confidence Heart, played an important role in Inter Milan's competition for the Champions League.

In addition to the grievances and enmity with Barcelona, ​​the key to Mourinho's success or failure this season is not the league, but the Champions League. If nothing is done in the Champions League, even if he wins the Serie A championship again, he can only leave in despair at the end of the season.

Therefore, in Mourinho's mind, the Champions League is far more important than the league, but Mourinho did not say it, but let the players and assistants discuss how to play these two games.

Eto'o has just arrived, but he still likes to show off and act as the boss. He was the first to stand up and express his opinion. He said that the weekend league should not be ignored just because there will be the Champions League in the middle of next week. influential.

African players and rookies such as Muntari and Motta felt reasonable and expressed their support, while the Argentine gang and several old players all sneered secretly.

In the UEFA Champions League final last season, Gao Xiaodong led Porto to challenge Barcelona, ​​and was beaten to the ground. Gao Xiaodong even received a red card. Gao Xiaodong was worried about this, and he had long thought of revenge. Now Barcelona has drawn with Inter Milan. In the first group, Gao Xiaodong hopes that the team will show their best state and physical fitness to beat Barcelona, ​​and of course he does not want to be dragged down by the league.

Gao Xiaodong stood up and said that Parma was just a newly promoted horse, and his strength was not enough to threaten Inter Milan. He could send a substitute to play and prepare for the Champions League group match against Barcelona in the middle of the week.

Eto'o immediately objected, saying that they were also newly promoted, and the Bari team brought a lot of trouble to Inter Milan.

Gao Xiaodong went on to say that although the Bari team caused a little trouble, they were defeated by Inter Milan 3:1 in the end, and the trouble caused by the newly promoted team was very limited.

Driven by Gao Xiaodong and Eto'o, Inter Milan's players debated how to view the match against Parma. Of course, no one could convince the other.

Mourinho watched coldly from the sidelines, had a clear understanding of the players' minds and psychology, and then made his own decision.

"Parma is a newly promoted team, but their strength is not weak. In the first two rounds, they achieved a record of one win and one tie, but we don't need to exaggerate their strength. Compared with us, they still have a big gap.

In the game against Parma, I will send most of the main players, and I may do some experiments in some positions. You need to go all out at the beginning, play Parma as Barcelona, ​​and play our own characteristics. After securing the victory, control the situation , hit a counterattack, let me talk about the specific tactics..."

Mourinho's meaning is obvious, that is to play the league with Parma as a warm-up match, with me as the main player, playing my own characteristics, and after securing the victory, control the rhythm and fight back to save energy.

Veteran players like Materazzi, Zanetti, and Eto'o feel that something is wrong. Although Parma is a newly promoted team, I am afraid that they will not give up resistance easily. The big score slaughtered AC Milan,

Mourinho's authority is at its peak, and no one dares to directly stand up and express doubts.

Mourinho arranged tactics, prepared to end the meeting, let the players rest, and there was a training session in the afternoon.

At this time Balotelli stood up and said, "Coach, I have something to say."

Mourinho gave an "oh" in surprise, and said, "Mario, just say what you have to say."

Balotelli said impassionedly: "Our team now has a captain and two vice-captains. I think we should add another vice-captain."

"Oh, then tell me, who is suitable to be the deputy of this team."

Mourinho did have the idea of ​​adding a captain, and he also told the assistants, but he couldn't find a suitable candidate for a while, and wanted to wait for the new players to get used to it. Unexpectedly, Balotelli proposed it on his own initiative. Mourinho was very surprised. He secretly speculated that who taught Balotelli to say this. He didn't believe that Balotelli would suddenly care about the team's captain.

The Inter Milan players in the meeting room also looked at Balotelli in astonishment as if they were looking at a giant panda, not knowing what role this clown is playing today.

Balotelli said: "I think Gao Xiaodong is the most suitable, he is very good, Milan Derby staged a hat-trick."

Balotelli had just finished speaking, and there was an uproar in the conference room. Except for Zanetti and Quaresma who looked dull, everyone else burst into laughter.

"Damn it, let Gao Xiaodong be the team deputy!"

"How old is Gao Xiaodong? 19 years old! Is there any captain in our history who is younger than 20 years old?"

"Why didn't Balotelli recommend himself as the captain?"

"What kind of nerve is this guy today?"

...

Seeing that Zanetti remained silent, Gao Xiaodong quickly kicked Zanetti's chair behind him.

Zanetti couldn't pretend to be invisible anymore, he smiled wryly, stood up and said, "Actually, what Mario said is right, Gao Xiaodong is also good as the vice-captain, he is the team's main force, and he is young, so he can be trained as the captain."

Zanetti did not speak loudly, but the content was so shocking that the entire meeting room fell silent instantly. Everyone, including Mourinho, was stunned. No one thought that Zanetti would support Gao Xiaodong as a vice captain.

But when everyone was surprised, Quaresma also stood up and said: "I also support Gao Xiaodong as the vice-captain. He is capable, responsible and courageous. Although he is a little younger, he is just the vice-captain. I I feel totally capable.”

Mourinho looked at Zanetti, Quaresma and Balotelli who were standing up, and immediately confirmed that it was Gao Xiaodong's trick, but what he didn't understand was that Gao Xiaodong persuaded Balotelli and Balotelli Resma is normal, but how can he persuade Zanetti to support him.

Just when everyone was shocked and speechless by the scene in front of them, Gao Xiaodong also stood up and waved his hands again and again: "Why do everyone praise me so much, I think Mario Balotelli is more suitable than me Be the vice-captain."

"Pfft!"

"Ha ha!"

After hearing Gao Xiaodong's words, almost everyone in the conference room couldn't help laughing except for Balotelli.

Balotelli as team vice? This is simply a joke in the world, even if you take a dog to be Inter Milan's captain, it's better than Balotelli, at least the dog doesn't make trouble, is Gao Xiaodong here to be funny?

Mourinho's smile flashed away. He suppressed the smile and said to Gao Xiaodong with a sullen face: "Nonsense, what do you think of this place? This is a conference room."

Gao Xiaodong fulfilled his promise to Balotelli, of course he didn't say any more, and sat down pretending to be embarrassed.

Naturally, no one took Gao Xiaodong's words seriously, and everyone was considering whether Gao Xiaodong was suitable to be the captain.

At this time, Lucio stood up first, and said: "I object, Gao Xiaodong is too young, only 19 years old, let alone Inter Milan, there is no such precedent in the five major leagues."

Lucio also wants to be the team vice, and thinks that he must be the team vice. Unexpectedly, someone proposes Gao Xiaodong to be the team vice, and Zanetti supports it.

Eto'o also wanted to be the captain. He stood up with Lucio and strongly objected: "I am firmly opposed to this. Is this captain casually? In addition to ability, he must also have prestige and qualifications."

Materazzi said: "I think Captain Zanetti is ill-considered. Gao Xiaodong is too young, too young to make him the captain. What do the fans think and what does the media say?"

Cordoba said: "Yes, we are a wealthy team, not an ordinary team. Let a 19-year-old young man be the captain, and we will not be laughed out of our teeth."

Toldo said bluntly: "Selecting the captain is not a child's play."

...

When there was a lot of opposition in the conference room, the assistant coach Boas stood up unexpectedly and said, "I think Gao Xiaodong is fine as the team vice."
