However, on the day of the game, there were quite a few fans from Meazza, because the day of the game was the 20th birthday of Inter Milan's superstar Gao Xiaodong.
Mourinho looks rebellious, but he is actually very humane. Almost all the main players in the UEFA Champions League in this game sat on the sidelines to rest, but Gao Xiaodong still came on the stage and played with a group of substitutes.
Gao Xiaodong hopes to use a hat-trick as his birthday present, but Katani doesn't give face. They stalk Gao Xiaodong and foul, just to prevent Gao Xiaodong from scoring.
It's normal for the opponent not to give face, who the hell wants to be the background wall. But what frustrates Gao Xiaodong the most is that his teammates are not strong enough. The substitutes are conscious, but their bodies can't keep up, and everyone's cooperation is relatively unfamiliar, which doesn't help Gao Xiaodong much, let alone put on a hat Juggled.
Gao Xiaodong is very popular now, the stands are full of happy birthday banners, seeing that Gao Xiaodong has been unable to score, the fans in the stands all cheered for Gao Xiaodong, shouting "Gao Xiaodong scored one!"
Gao Xiaodong's ability to go it alone is very strong. Even if his teammates didn't help him much, Gao Xiaodong found the feeling in the second half. He blasted through Cattani's gate with a long-range heavy artillery, which also helped Inter Milan open the situation.
Then Inter Milan's Cordoba and Balotelli each scored another goal. In the end, Inter Milan defeated Catani 3:0 and continued to lead the standings with an unbeaten record.
After the game,
Moratti came to the locker room with a birthday cake to celebrate Gao Xiaodong's birthday, and gave Gao Xiaodong a watch worth 50,000 euros as a birthday present.
Although Moratti is a generous and kind boss, he always gives presents to players on their birthdays, but he seldom celebrates players’ birthdays in person, that is, Ronaldo, Adriano, Recoba and others Son, he was able to come to celebrate Gao Xiaodong's birthday today completely beyond everyone's expectations. From Moratti's attitude, everyone vaguely felt that Moratti's attitude towards Gao Xiaodong had undergone a fundamental change.
After celebrating in the locker room, Gao Xiaodong hurried to take a shower and go home, because Xiao Le, Hou Zi, Chen Qiang, Qin Ning and others had arranged a birthday dinner for him to go home.
When Gao Xiaodong drove home, he found that the sumptuous dinner had been set up, and there was a big two-tiered cake in the middle of the dining table.
Seeing Gao Xiaodong's return, everyone gave Gao Xiaodong birthday presents one after another. Although Yang Fan and Yu Debao didn't have time to celebrate Gao Xiaodong's birthday, they asked the monkey to bring Gao Xiaodong a birthday present.
Xiao Le's gift was still a mobile phone, the latest model of iCrazy mobile phone, while Qin Ning's gift to Gao Xiaodong was a Hermes belt.
While blowing out the candles, Gao Xiaodong used QQ to send a video chat to his parents.
Gao's father and Gao's mother have been waiting in front of the computer, waiting for Gao Xiaodong to come back from the game.
Gao's mother burst into tears when she saw Gao Xiaodong, and she was speechless. Although Gao's father acted nonchalantly, he was much gentler than usual when speaking.
"Xiaodong, he's 20 years old, he's not a child anymore, he's a man now. In the club, you have to listen to the leaders, get along well with your colleagues, train hard, compete well, and be careful not to get hurt. The body is the capital of the revolution. Only with a good body can you better football"
Gao's father seldom nagged like his mother, Gao Xiaodong felt a little sad when he heard these words, he felt that his father was really old, but he couldn't stay by his parents' side, so he felt very guilty.
"Dad, don't worry, I get along very well with the coach chairman and my teammates, and I have never been injured, but you should pay attention to your health, it's cold, put on more clothes, today is my birthday, have you bought cake yet?"
Gao's mother recovered a little, and said: "I bought it, we buy it every year, and my mother bought you a gift and cooked a table of dishes."
Hearing this, Gao Xiaodong couldn't hold it back any longer, tears flowed down his cheeks, and he was choked up speechless. At this moment, he suddenly felt that no matter how much money he made or how famous he was, there seemed to be no way to make up for the inability to accompany him. The lack of being around parents.
Seeing Gao Xiaodong's tears, Gao's father hurriedly said to Gao's mother: "Forget it, don't talk about it, and the cake and everything will be wasted, Xiaodong, you still have a lot of guests over there, just hang up and talk later. "
Father Gao took the initiative to turn off the camera and interrupted the chat with his son.
Everyone here saw that Gao Xiaodong was sad, and they all came to comfort him.
Chen Qiang said: "Xiaodong, don't cry. Your parents will be very happy that you have made such a great achievement outside. No one can stay by their parents' side forever."
The monkey said: "That's right, so I stayed at home after graduating from high school, and my parents were bored to death."
Xiao Le said: "Your parents are in good health now, you just worked hard for a few years, and when your parents are old, you will go back to accompany them."
Qin Ning said: "No one will stay with their parents all their lives. If you want to open up, Xiaodong, they hope that you can break out your own sky outside, compared to you staying by their side all your life."
Gao Xiaodong sighed, and said: "My parents are only one child, seeing them alone, I feel very sad."
Xiao Le said: "Xiaodong, your parents are two people, you are the one alone, okay?
Qin Ning also said: "That's right, you're a single dog, and you actually feel lonely as a loving couple like your parents."
But Chen Qiang said: "Xiaodong is right. Without children, even a husband and wife will feel lonely when they are together. You young people, I don't understand."
The monkey smiled and said, "Mr. Chen, you are only in your thirties, don't pretend you are in your fifties or sixties."
Chen Qiang said with a smile: "I'm married and have children. Let me tell you, those who are not married and have children are boys, and those who are married and have children are real men."
Gao Xiaodong said: "Stop discussing whether a man is a man or not. If we continue to discuss it, we will probably starve to death. I will blow out the candles and let everyone eat."
Gao Xiaodong made a wish and blew out candles to cut the cake. Everyone sang birthday songs and wished him a happy birthday. Then Monkey and Qin Ning took the cake and wiped it on Gao Xiaodong's face. Xiao Le took pictures of them while Chen Qiang just smiled and ate cake.
After some squabbling, Gao Xiaodong's mood improved a lot, and he marched towards food and wine together with everyone. Gao Xiaodong usually drank a few glasses, but this time he drank a few more glasses. It wasn't until after twelve o'clock that everyone returned to their respective rooms. room to rest.
Gao Xiaodong just fell asleep when suddenly there was a message on the phone, Gao Xiaodong opened it and saw that it was from Qin Ning.
"have you slept?"
"No, what's the matter?" Gao Xiaodong was a little puzzled.
"It's okay, I can't sleep, I'm homesick, and I want to talk to someone." Qin Ning's text message was sent quickly.
"Okay, I'll talk to you on the phone." Gao Xiaodong said.
"You don't need money for the phone call." Qin Ning said.
"Then use QQ to chat." Gao Xiaodong said.
"QQ chat, the signal is not good, can you come to my place?" Qin Ning said.
"You're not trying to play tricks on me again, are you?" Gao Xiaodong twitched when he heard it, but he was used to being teased by Qin Ning, so he still asked very vigilantly.
"I hate it, love will come or not." Qin Ning stopped sending text messages.
Gao Xiaodong couldn't fall asleep anymore, and put on a thin quilt for five minutes of ideological struggle on the bed. In the end, the cerebellum decided the brain. He got dressed, got out of bed secretly, and walked to Qin Ning's bedroom. (.)
