Chapter 585: Goalkeeper Crisis

On Tuesday morning, Gao Xiaodong arrived at the training base half an hour early, but he came relatively late. The Champions League knockout rounds are approaching. In a focus game like Chelsea, if you play well, you can become famous with one goal. Inter Milan players this time The time came very early, hoping to leave a good impression on the coach and get a chance to play.

It turns out that when Gao Xiaodong arrived, his teammates had already started to practice extra in advance, but today was a bit special. Instead of practicing extra, his teammates were chatting there.

Not training, but getting together to chat is what the head coach Mourinho dislikes the most. Are these people too brave?

Gao Xiaodong was wondering when Quaresma walked up to him and said with a wry smile: "What bad luck, Cesar had a car accident last night."

Gao Xiaodong's mind was buzzing. Cesar was Inter Milan's unbeatable main force. If he couldn't play, Inter Milan would have to send out the 38-year-old veteran Toldo.

Toldo is very poor now and his reactions are slow. He can only play in the Italian Cup. Let him face Chelsea's group of long-range shot and header experts, and the goal will be good.

"How's the injury?" Gao Xiaodong asked urgently.

"I don't know, I'm in the hospital for a checkup." Quaresma sighed: "Facing a strong opponent, if you hurt the goalkeeper first, how can you still win this game?"

"Fight as you should." Gao Xiaodong walked towards Maicon. Maicon had a good relationship with Cesar. He might know more precise information, "Maicon, how is Cesar's injury?"

Maicon shook his head and sighed: "It's not a big problem, but I may not be able to participate in this game."

Materazzi also came over, "I heard that Cesar's Lamborghini was smashed? I hope he is okay."

Zanetti said with a wry smile, "Why are we so unlucky? Is it possible that Inter Milan was born with no hope of winning the championship? This year they have a strong team, but they were unlucky in the draw and Cesar had another car accident..."

Materazzi interrupted Zanetti, "What's the point of complaining about luck? The game has to be played. Mourinho also won the championship with Porto."

While he was talking, Mourinho came back from the hospital, and the players hurriedly gathered around to ask about Cesar's condition.

Mourinho's face was gloomy, "There are a few bruises on the face, a slight concussion, and a hit to the leg. I will definitely not be able to play in the first round. It's hard to say about the second round."

The players were all silent. Since Cesar's Lamborghini was smashed, it would be lucky if he didn't die. How could Cesar be unscathed?

Toldo saw that the morale of his teammates was low and said: "Don't worry, everyone, there is still me. I will just defend for one game. I think I can still cope with it."

Materazzi said: "Even Toldo performed well against Juventus and Fiorentina in the Italian Cup. How much better can Chelsea be than Juventus?"

"That's right, Toldo used to be called Saint Toldo."

"Brother Toldo, work harder, I believe you."

…

At this point, it was useless to be disappointed and helpless. The teammates all absent-mindedly expressed their encouragement and trust to Toldo.

Although Gao Xiaodong also has professional A-level goalkeeping skills, but there is substitute goalkeeper Toldo, of course nothing will happen without him, and speaking out will only make Toldo unhappy, so Gao Xiaodong did not say anything.

Cesar's car accident had a great impact on the morale of the Inter Milan players. However, under the huge pressure, the players trained more seriously and paid more attention to cooperation with each other. Even the passing cooperation between competing opponents was Much more than before.

In the afternoon, Premier League leader Chelsea arrived in Milan.

Ac Milan coach Leonardo and Juventus coach Ferrara both welcomed Ancelotti's arrival and expressed their support for Ancelotti to regain glory at Chelsea.

Although many Italian media pretend to be impartial, they all believe that Ancelotti is more experienced and successful in the Champions League. Inter Milan goalkeeper Cesar suffered another car accident and thought about Chelsea. It is very difficult to pass.

"Torino Sport" even broke the news at this time that Mourinho may coach Real Madrid or return to the Premier League at the end of this season.

Although rumors of Mourinho coaching Real Madrid existed during the winter break, Tuttosport broke the news at this time, which is obviously suspected of cheating.

As soon as he returned to his motherland, Ancelotti changed his acrimony in England and spoke well of Mourinho like a master.

"It feels good to be back in Italy. Except for the Inter Milan fans, everyone here supports me. I don't feel any hostility here. I sympathize with Mourinho's experience. He is a little acclimatized here. Italy I prefer people who are low-key and humble. In fact, Mourinho is a great coach and I have high respect for him. I know what he has brought to Inter Milan and Serie A, and I also know what he has left for Chelsea. What, especially the coat that is left in the club museum. But the protagonist of this game is not us, but the players on both sides. This is a 50 vs. 50 game. It is a pity that the two teams met too early. . But in the league I was jealous of Inter Milan and I wanted to have as many leads as they did."

Chelsea players also expressed their gratitude to Mourinho and praised Mourinho's coaching talent, especially Chelsea striker Drogba. He said that Mourinho is a great coach, just like his father, as long as he Mourinho wants him to play, even if he breaks his leg, he will climb onto the pitch.

Obviously this was a sugar-coated shell from Chelsea. Of course Mourinho would not accept it. He immediately launched a counterattack. He told a reporter from the "Daily Mirror": "It is useless to say anything. Ancelotti and I have never been the same." Friend, I don’t want to change our relationship at all. He said that everyone in Italy supports Chelsea, whatever he says, there are only 11 people playing football on the pitch, and I don’t believe Ancelotti can surpass me at Chelsea achievements.”

Mourinho did not appreciate the praise and gratitude of Chelsea generals. He said: "I have a very good relationship with the Chelsea players and we still keep in touch. After the game, I will invite them to my home to sit and have a drink." A cup of coffee, but in the game, I didn’t know any of them. They were all my opponents. Even though Drogba said it nicely, he would never show mercy to Inter Milan during the game. .”

Although he said he didn't care, Mourinho once again criticized the Italian football environment. "In England, clubs and fans are very tolerant of foreign teachers. There you can calmly make long-term plans for the team without being asked. Get results in the short term. But in Italy, only points and rankings are considered. If you are hired to lead the team to win the championship, you must win the championship; if you are asked to avoid relegation, you must avoid relegation, otherwise you can only pack up and leave. People. They are very harsh on foreign coaches. It is very difficult for foreigners like me to succeed, which is why I prefer the Premier League."

Entering the Champions League cycle, there is constant bad news for Inter Milan. The only good news is that football king Pele is optimistic about Chelsea.

When interviewing Pele, an Italian TV station asked the football king to make some predictions for the current Champions League knockout rounds.

When talking about whether Inter Milan will defeat Chelsea at home in the focus game, Pele said without hesitation: "In fact, there is no suspense in the game at San Siro. Inter Milan is not in good condition, even if they are at home and have a strong team. attack combination, but Chelsea is stronger than them in every aspect. Superstitiously speaking, Cesar’s injury in a car accident before the game was a signal from God to Inter Milan to lose early.”

As we all know, Pele's predictions have always been contrary to actual game results. Therefore, many teams are very taboo about being "hatted" by Pele before the game. Because it has been proven through countless fact tests that teams that are favored by Bailey will always be unlucky in the end and even be eliminated early. Those teams that are not favored by Bailey can actually have a good record.

Therefore, upon hearing that Pele predicted that Inter Milan would lose before the game, Inter Milan fans felt at ease. Even Inter Milan boss Moratti joked that if Inter Milan wins at home, he will pay Pele a reward.
