Chapter 587 The Troops Are Approaching the City

Since the morning, the city of Milan has become a football city.

The streets are full of Inter Milan fans wearing blue and black jerseys and Chelsea fans wearing blue jerseys.

Inter Milan team flags and banners supporting Inter Milan's victory were hung outside bars and shops. Inter Milan's team anthem was played. Even homeless people on the streets adapted songs praising Inter Milan to attract the attention of fans.

The encounter between the radical Inter Milan and English football hooligans was a headache for the Milan police. On the day of the match, the Milan police stepped up their vigilance, and mounted police could be seen among the fans from time to time.

After all, there are only a few fans who come to watch the game live. More fans watch the live broadcast of this Champions League knockout match on TV and the Internet.

According to incomplete statistics, more than 200 million fans around the world will watch the live broadcast of this Champions League knockout match on TV and the Internet. In addition, there will be live broadcast on 40 TV stations and 300 reporters from all over the world.

In the morning, Gao Xiaodong posted a message on his Twitter and Weibo, "No one can stop us from moving forward." This message was retweeted 100,000 times within an hour, with more than 50,000 comments.

In the afternoon, Inter Milan held its last training session at the Pinetina training base, but Mourinho did not open it to the fans as usual. This made the Inter Milan fans who came from afar very dissatisfied. Many people expressed their dissatisfaction on the forum. Accusing Mourinho of being hypocritical and unkind, some people even yelled at Mourinho.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the Meazza Stadium opened its doors to check tickets and let fans enter.

An hour later, Inter Milan's bus drove into the Meazza Stadium from Pinetina.

When they came out of the bus, the players looked very serious. No one spoke, and they all hurried to the locker room carrying their equipment bags.

The average age of Inter Milan's big-name stars is over 29 years old and they have experienced countless battles. But except for Eto'o, these have one thing in common. They are all losers in the Champions League.

Especially the old players of Inter Milan. They have never won a Champions League knockout victory in Inter Milan for four years. They have never defeated a Premier League team in the Champions League for seven years. Now they have to face Chelsea, the toughest player in Europe. Challenge, everyone feels nervous and scared.

Entering the locker room, Eto'o seemed to find the atmosphere too tense and depressing, saying: "Let's guess who scores first?"

It was embarrassing, no one answered, everyone just kept their heads down and changed their jerseys and shoes.

Mourinho said: "Don't be nervous, everyone. We have done everything we need to do. There are no surprises. The victory will belong to us."

Still no one spoke in the locker room.

Mourinho said: "Don't be afraid of those dead statistics. Records are always meant to be broken. I have been in the Premier League for three years and have defeated all Premier League teams except Chelsea. Because it is my team and I am better than Everyone knows how strong Chelsea is, but I also know its weaknesses better than anyone else. If I do what I plan, we can get three points from Chelsea."

Mourinho's words had some effect, and the Inter Milan players looked a little more relaxed. However, the loss of main goalkeeper Cesar before the game was a bad omen that made the Inter Milan players still not confident at all. stand up.

Mourinho understood what the players were thinking. He patted Toldo on the shoulder and said: "Toldo has been in good form recently. He is our most reliable last line of defense against Juventus and Fiorentina. , how scary it is when he goes crazy, I think the players in the Netherlands know best."

An unnatural smile appeared on Sneijder's face and he said: "I didn't have the chance to participate in that game, but I heard from the seniors that Toldo defeated us in that game."

Toldo knew what he should do at this time. He said confidently: "Yes, so don't think that Toldo will be a burden to you. Just leave your back to me and I will hold the door for you."

Mourinho continued: "Eto'o,

I think you should also have experience in playing against Premier League teams. You can tell your teammates about it. "

Eto'o said relaxedly: "Don't be afraid of them. I think Inter Milan can fight with any team. The Premier League teams are very rough in technique and tactics. If we block their impact and cooperate patiently in the frontcourt, we can break through." Their defense.”

Mourinho patted Gao Xiaodong on the shoulder again and said: "Chelsea's biggest weakness is their left back. Their main left back and substitute left back are both injured. Belletti is not only older, but also in poor condition." Extremely poor. I believe Ancelotti will not let him start. The only one who may start is Malouda. Whether it is Malouda or not, the left back is their Achilles heel. Gao Xiaodong, today you play As a right winger, your task is to penetrate the opponent's left wing, assist or score goals, and your role is crucial to victory."

Gao Xiaodong clenched his fists and said: "Don't worry, coach, I will beat Chelsea's left back until he doubts his life."

Normally, if everyone heard Gao Xiaodong say this, they would definitely laugh out loud, but now, no one in the enemy could laugh.

Mourinho looked at Sneijder again and said: "Xiaodong is going to attack the opponent's left back on the right. The task of organizing and dispatching in the midfield is left to you. Whether we can win the game, your role is the same as Xiaodong's. major."

"The mission must be completed!"

Sneijder is very excited. It has been almost a month since he joined Inter Milan. He has only performed in the Italian Cup and the league has been a mess. Now, he has finally waited for the opportunity he has dreamed of. Whether he can successfully take over depends on today's battle with Chelsea. .

Although Mourinho understands Chelsea and has been well prepared before, Inter Milan's Champions League record is so bad that it has a psychological shadow. He had to give each player instructions and encouragement before he reiterated what he said today. The techniques and tactics of the game.

While Mourinho was giving instructions to the players, Chelsea's coaches and players also took the bus to the Meazza Stadium. Their locker room was the Ac Milan locker room that Ancelotti was most familiar with.

Standing in a familiar speaking position, the slightly paralyzed Ancelotti seemed to have returned home, and actually showed a relaxed smile. He stroked the red and black seats, "I have played 18 games with Inter Milan here, and I only I have lost five of them, and I have never lost to Inter Milan in the Champions League. I hope this locker room brings us good luck."

Chelsea's players are also very relaxed. They are at the top of the league and are very likely to regain the league title that they have lost for three years from Manchester United. The Champions League encounters are the Champions League soft-legged crabs. Inter Milan, which has never beaten a Premier League team, as long as If they don't lose this game, they'd better get an away goal, then promotion is almost guaranteed.

Drogba reminded: "Mourinho is not an easy person to deal with."

Ancelotti smiled slightly and said: "I know Inter Milan very well. They lack the temperament of a strong team and have no Champions League tradition. In just one and a half years, Mourinho was able to change their technical and tactical play, but To change the temperament and tradition of Inter Milan, rest assured, as long as we don’t lose this game, they will definitely collapse when we return to Stamford Bridge.”

Terry, the Iron-Blooded Captain and the protagonist of The Sister-in-Law, said: "Mourinho's counterattack is very good. Isn't it a bit risky for us to send three forwards?"

Ancelotti said proudly: "When it comes to defensive counterattacks, no one can do better than Italy. This is an away game. What we need is to score goals. Believe me, as long as we score first, they will panic. We scored two goals." One ball and they collapse."

Chelsea players have been with Mourinho for three years. They don't believe that Mourinho's team will collapse easily. But seeing that Ancelotti was not very happy about someone praising Mourinho, no one said anything about Mourinho. Neo, all silently listened to Ancelotti's arrangements.
