Chapter 528: The Golden Boy Controversy

After losing to Barcelona in the away game, the demoralized Inter Milan ushered in a devil's schedule. They will first face Fiorentina, who has already reached the top 16 of the Champions League, at home, and then go to Turin to challenge their rivals Juventus. After that, it is The final round of the Champions League group stage is a life-and-death battle.

These three rounds of the league are crucial to Inter Milan. If they fail to win the two league games, their 7-point lead is likely to be wiped out quickly, and the Champions League must not make any mistakes, otherwise they will fall into a situation of doom.

Fiorentina performed extremely well in the Champions League, but their performance in the league was mediocre. They are now 11 points behind Inter Milan, and there is basically no hope for the championship. Their current goal is the Champions League seat.

When Fiorentina coach Prandelli arrived in Milan, he said that they must cheer up in the league, and if they don't rush to chase points, they will miss the Champions League next season.

Fiorentina's talented midfielder Jovetic also said that Fiorentina came to Milan to get three points, not to get one point.

The 19-year-old Montenegro genius Jovetic and Milan's Pato are Gao Xiaodong's biggest competitors for the European Golden Boy Award. Although Gao Xiaodong is currently hot, if Jovetic beats Gao Xiaodong in a direct dialogue, it will eventually be It's hard to say that it won't be an upset counterattack.

In addition to the golden boy battle between Gao Xiaodong and Jovetic, this game also has a battle for the top scorer between Gilardino and Milito. Today, Udinese's Di Natale scored 13 goals on the top scorer list in Serie A. Ranked first, Milito scored 12 goals, Gilardino scored 10 goals, all three may win the top scorer, scored 9 goals Gao Xiaodong also has hope, but because of the position, Gao Xiaodong won the top scorer. Top shooters are less likely than appealing to three pure shooters.

Inter Milan attaches great importance to this game. In addition to hoping to improve morale by defeating Fiorentina, they also hope to consolidate their lead in the league and avoid distraction when the Champions League knockout round begins.

It has entered the end of November, the weather has turned cold, and the game time has been advanced to 3 pm.

This is the highlight of this round of Serie A. Due to Fiorentina's excellent record in the Champions League, the Italian media regards Fiorentina as the representative of the Serie A Champions League in order to belittle Inter Milan and Mourinho. This makes Inter Milan fans very upset, almost 60,000 The Donella team came to the scene to cheer for Inter Milan, hoping that they can beat Fiorentina and defend their Serie A supremacy.

After negotiating with Gao Xiaodong, Inter Milan has started to introduce Sneijder, and Mourinho has also begun to prepare for Sneijder's arrival. The formation has changed from the original 4312 to 4231.

The goalkeeper is still No. 12 Cesar, four defenders: 4-Zanetti, 25-Samuel, 6-Lucio, 13-Maicon; double midfielders 19-Cambiaso, 8-Motta ; Three forwards: 7-Quaresma/10-Gao Xiaodong, 9-Eto'o; single forward 22- Milito.

Before the game, Mourinho made a special arrangement. He said that although Gao Xiaodong is the front midfielder, his position in the frontcourt is free. He can attack from any position at will. Switch places with Gao Xiaodong.

In training, Mourinho has already tried this, but the Inter Milan players didn't care, thinking it was training, and never thought that they would dare to do this in an official game, especially against a strong opponent like Fiorentina .

Although Gao Xiaodong is a different kind, and his skills are all-round, but other players can't do it.

Just like Gao Xiaodong can reach the center position, but Milito can't play Gao Xiaodong's attacking midfielder.

However, after the pre-season cleanup, Mourinho's power in the team is very strong. Although everyone has their own ideas, no one raises objections. After all, no one knows what will really happen in the game.

Florence's lineup is also 4231: 1-Frey/25-Comoto, 3-Dainelli, 5-Gamberini, 19-Gobi/18-Montolivo, 15-C-Zanetti/ 32- Marchionne, 8- Jovetic, 6- Vargas/11- Gilardino

This lineup is no different from Fiorentina's four-game winning streak in the Champions League. It can be seen that Prandelli really wants to get three points in Meazza.

After the start of the game, Inter Milan took advantage of the home court and took the lead in attacking Fiorentina.

Gao Xiaodong moved forward with the ball and passed the ball to Quaresma, allowing him to attack from the wing.

Quaresma finally got a chance and was eager to show himself. Facing the interception of the young player Jovetic, Quaresma made continuous fake moves, but he did not deceive Jovetic. Qi saw through the fake action and stole the ball.

Seeing that Quaresma conceded a goal at the beginning, many Inter Milan fans in the stands couldn't help booing.

It’s not that the fans of Inter Milan are impatient. The main reason is that Quaresma’s price is high and his performance is poor. Mourinho is nepotism, and he can't bear to see him make mistakes.

However, Gao Xiaodong knew it was not good after Quaresma made two fake moves. Neither of the two fake moves could pass one person, and he would definitely be intercepted by others. He immediately moved to the side to make up for Quaresma. Defend.

Jovetic quickly counterattacked with the ball after stealing, but he didn't take a few steps and met Gao Xiaodong head-on.

After changing other players, Jovetic passed the ball, but facing the competitors for the Golden Boy Award, Jovetic was not calm. He fell behind Gao Xiaodong and Pato in the selection of the Golden Boy Award. If you want to counterattack, you must defeat Gao Xiaodong in direct dialogue.

This kind of mentality made Jovetic give up the idea of ​​passing the ball, and went directly to Gao Xiaodong with the ball.

Jovetic tilted his left shoulder, as if he was going to attack from Gao Xiaodong's right side, but he quickly slammed the ball past Gao Xiaodong's left side.

Jovetic's brilliance is concise and decisive, and a small fake move is over immediately. The older the player, the easier it is to be overwhelmed, but Gao Xiaodong is fast and powerful, and is not afraid of the opponent's speed. Defense likes to strike late. Jovetic He only went up to grab it when it started, but Jovetic still couldn't get past Gao Xiaodong. When the two of them were in physical contact, Jovetic knew that Gao Xiaodong was strong and didn't dare to hit him. His body twisted like a twist , trying to escape from Gao Xiaodong.

But Gao Xiaodong got 20 years of professional experience given by the system, and he has a strong ability to adapt instantly. People can pass, but the ball must stay. Gao Xiaodong hooked his toes accurately, and Jovetic staggered past , but the ball was intercepted by Gao Xiaodong.

This was a clean steal, and the fans who had just booed Quaresma immediately gave Gao Xiaodong warm applause.

"pretty!"

"It's good!"

"They are all Mourinho's cronies, why is the gap so big!"

"That's right, Gao Xiaodong shouldn't pass it on to him."

...

Gao Xiaodong heard the applause, but he didn't want to express himself as much as Jovetic, and directly passed the ball to Motta who was in the middle.

Jovetic regards him as a competitor, but Gao Xiaodong doesn’t take Jovetic to heart. In Gao Xiaodong’s view, the Golden Boy Award belongs to him. His goals are Messi, Ronaldo and Kaka . 8)
