Chapter Four Hundred and Ninety Two

In the end, Inter Milan defeated Parma 3:0 and won three consecutive victories in the league.

In the game against Parma, although Balotelli, who came off the bench, did not score, the last two goals of Inter Milan were related to Balotelli. Balotelli's breakthrough is a useful supplement to Inter Milan's tactics .

After the match, Italian journalists and fans clamored that Balotelli should go first in the mid-week Champions League match, thinking that Balotelli could play as a winger and form a front trident with Milito and Eto'o.

But Mourinho did not think that Balotelli was qualified, and unceremoniously criticized Balotelli in front of reporters, "Mario did do well at some times, but at the same time, he forgot Tactics, defense and discipline. He wants, has to improve in many ways!"

Mourinho then laid out a few examples of Balotelli's poor performance on the pitch.

In the 75th minute, Balotelli dribbled the ball forward and was intercepted by Biabiani, but Balotelli did not fight back, but stood still and complained to the referee, making the opponent's Biabiani run 30 meters to instigate fight back.

In the 80th minute, Balotelli made a detour to the left to form a breakthrough. Under the premise that many teammates outflanked the goal, he chose to force himself to hit the goal with a pointless shot.

In the 87th minute, Balotelli broke through from the right to form a two-on-two fast break. Under the premise that Milito had already run empty in the middle to face the empty goal, Balotelli himself chose to hit the goal from a small angle...

In stoppage time at the end of the game, Gao Xiaodong gave Balotelli a chance to face the goalkeeper with a through ball. There was no interference from Balotelli's side, and goalkeeper Mirante's positioning was also problematic. Most of the goals were empty. Leave it to Balotelli.

However, Balotelli did not shoot, but insisted on using a "bicycle" to pass the goalkeeper. In the end, he swayed in place a few times, but did not knock down the goalkeeper Mirante. Mirante caught the ball and missed. Chance to score.

Mourinho told reporters: "These mistakes are not because of Balotelli's ability, but because of his attitude. Today's opponent is only Parma, which will not affect the situation. But what if the opponent is Barcelona? If he refused to fight back and Messi ran wildly to instigate a counterattack; if he had a chance to score one-handedly, but was caught by the Barcelona goalkeeper... what would be the consequence?"

Mourinho's words silenced both reporters and fans, even the most die-hard Balotelli fans have to admit that such Balotelli is really not enough to compete with the defending champion.

After criticizing Balotelli, Mourinho told reporters not to hype the match against Barcelona. This is just an ordinary Champions League group match, not a knockout match. Whether Inter Milan can qualify from the group does not depend on the The game against Barcelona depends on the game against Dynamo Kiev and Rubin Kazan.

Obviously, Mourinho is insincere. The game between Barcelona and Inter Milan will never be an ordinary game. In addition to being a collision between two giants, this game also involves Inter Milan coach Mourinho Oh, the main midfielder Gao Xiaodong, the main striker Eto'o, the new midfielder Thiago Motta and Barcelona's kindness and resentment. As for Barcelona, ​​Ibrahimovic will also return to Meazza to face his old club. With such grievances, the game is obviously not ordinary.

After the game, Inter Milan's defeat of Parma was completely ignored by the Italian media. Everyone commented and talked about the Champions League opponent Barcelona.

"Gazzetta dello Sport" reviewed the history of the battle between Inter Milan and Barcelona in detail. The two sides faced each other twice in the UEFA Champions League. In the o2-o3 season, Barcelona drew 0-0 away from Inter Milan and won 3-0 at home. Inter Milan; 4 UEFA Cup clashes against Barcelona with two wins, one draw and one loss. In the knockout round of the 58 season, Barcelona eliminated Inter Milan 4-0 at home and 4-2 away. In the 69-70 season, Barcelona met Inter Milan again in the knockout round. 2. The away game was eliminated by Inter Milan 1-1. On August 29, 2007, Barcelona beat Inter Milan 5-0 at home in the 42nd Gamper Cup.

Judging from the historical record, Barcelona has an absolute upper hand against Inter Milan, and has also played several big-scoring games, but the two clubs have no grievances, and the grievances between the two clubs still come from the players and coaches.

Inter Milan coach Mourinho and Barcelona have the deepest grievances. Mourinho thinks he is Barcelona's assistant coach, but the Barcelona people don't admit it. They think Mourinho is just a small translator for Barcelona.

Mourinho had no chance to play against Barcelona before. After coaching Chelsea, he finally had a dialogue with Barcelona. In three dialogues, Chelsea and Barcelona eliminated their opponents once each, and their records were also the same. However, after Chelsea eliminated Barcelona, ​​they got nothing. Barcelona beat Chelsea and won the title.

In addition, because Mourinho accused Messi of diving, Barcelona coach Rijkaard contacted referee Hauge, which resulted in Hauge's retirement, which made Barcelona fans even more grudge against Mourinho.

The Inter Milan striker Eto'o and Barcelona's grievances are not much smaller than Mourinho.

Barcelona made Eto'o, but because of Eto'o's big mouth and competing with Messi for the boss, Barcelona kicked Eto'o out in a very disgraceful way. A player who has entered the top three of the Ballon d'Or was regarded as Ibrahimovic's transfer to Inter Milan was unbearable for the arrogant Eto'o, who was eager to prove himself in front of Barcelona every day.

Motta, who came from Barcelona's youth training, did not gain a foothold in Barcelona and was sold to Serie A. Of course, he was eager to slap his old club in the face and tell them that they sold him wrong.

Another person who has a grievance with Barcelona is Inter Milan's midfielder Gao Xiaodong.

After Gao Xiaodong made his debut, it was almost smooth sailing, but he stumbled against Barcelona in the Champions League final. The Porto he led was not only swept by Barcelona with 4 goals, but he also received a yellow card. This revenge, Gao Xiaodong will definitely take it Revenge back.

In terms of Barcelona, ​​Ibrahimovic has changed from the king of Inter Milan to the main force of Barcelona and returned to the Meazza Stadium. Of course, Ibrahimovic has to prove his loyalty to his new club and prove that he is worthy of more than 6,000. million worth and an annual salary of tens of millions.

Although Inter Milan's coaches and core players are holding back their energy to defeat Barcelona and prove themselves, no media and fans are optimistic about Inter Milan.

Barça is currently the best team in the world since the rise of the o4o5 season. In three years, they have won the Champions League twice. They are known as the European dream team, the universe team, and Inter Milan has been for 44 years. Haven't won the Champions League, haven't been to the quarter-finals in four years, haven't been to the semi-finals in 7 years, and haven't been to the final in 38 years.

Settled against Cosmos, even with Mourinho coaching, who can be optimistic about Inter Milan, which is a bunch of old and weak soldiers.
