Chapter 602: Conflicts Intensify

On Monday morning, Inter Milan held their last training session at the Pinetina training base. In the afternoon, they will take a special plane to London to start their Champions League quarter-final second leg match.

Although they won 2:1 at home in the first round, the Inter Milan players on the training ground were not relaxed or happy at all, and the atmosphere seemed very solemn.

Today's training is open to fans, and there are many fans watching on the sidelines. Some of them are aware of Inter Milan's recent problems, and some are new fans who do not understand the atmosphere on the training ground.

"What's going on? Why does everyone look so nervous?"

"Don't you know? Three days ago, AC Milan was swept by Manchester United 4:0, and Fiorentina was also eliminated by Bayern due to few away goals. Inter Milan is now the only one in Serie A. Can the pressure not be too great?"

"It's not a big deal. After all, Chelsea lost to us in the away game. In addition, their main and backup goalkeepers were injured."

"Are we okay? Cesar is back after a car accident, and his condition is uncertain. I heard that Sneijder has a fever again, and I heard that Balotelli and Mourinho have conflicts. I don't know if he will go to London. "

…

The fans on the sidelines were talking a lot, but the players on the training ground rarely spoke. Everyone was training hard. Even Balotelli was much more serious than usual, because after the training, head coach Mourinho Austria is about to announce the 18-man squad for London.

Naturally, the main players don’t have to worry about not being able to go to London, but it’s hard to say about the substitutes. Even veterans like Materazzi and Cordoba may be left in Milan. When the victory or defeat of the team is related, Murry Neo has never shown mercy to anyone.

"Gao, do you think Mourinho will take me there?"

Balotelli is the most worried. He has been causing a lot of drama recently, and Mourinho is very disgusted with him.

"I don't know about this either. The coach is very tight-lipped this time and won't tell anyone."

Although Gao Xiaodong is the person closest to Mourinho, he really doesn't know who Mourinho will take to London this time and who may start.

Thornton said: "Captain Gao, I don't believe you don't know? Tell me, is there me and Mario?"

Gao Xiaodong said: "I'm not going to lie to you. The coach doesn't reveal anything about it."

Thornton was a little disappointed and said: "What is the coach afraid of? Is there an undercover agent?"

Gao Xiaodong said: "According to common sense, we should lead. We are short of left backs and forwards, but don't ask me, just train hard. As long as you train well, the coach will notice it."

After the morning training, the players did not go home. They stayed at the base to eat together, have meetings, rest, and wait for the coach to announce the 18-man roster.

After the meal, a tactical meeting was held in the conference room. Mourinho analyzed the current situation and then asked assistant coach Faria to announce the 18-man roster for London.

"Goalkeepers: 12-Cesar, 21-Orlandi..."

There is no Toldo, which is normal. Toldo received a red card in the last game and was suspended for one game. Naturally, there is no need to take up a quota and take him to London.

Toldo had already expected it, and he sat there with his face as usual.

"... Defenders: 2-Cordoba, 4-Zanetti, 6-Lucio, 13-Macon, 23-Materazzi, 25-Samuel, 39-Thornton..."

Cordoba's face suddenly became dull. Since he publicly expressed his desire to go to Manchester City to play for Mancini, Mourinho has never let him play again. However, as the vice-captain, the bench is still very stable. Unexpectedly In this crucial battle with Chelsea, Mourinho still excluded him from the squad. At this moment, Cordoba has a deeper understanding of Mourinho's retaliatory character, but for the sake of team unity, Cordoba At this critical moment, Cordoba sat there without saying a word.

Thornton clenched his fists in excitement and wanted to applaud Balotelli, but Balotelli lowered his head and ignored him.

Faria continued to announce the 18-man roster: "... Midfielder: 5- Stankovic, 7- Quaresma, 8- Thiago Motta, 10- Gao Xiaodong, 11- Muntari, 20 -Sneijder, 19-Cambiaso...Forwards: 9-Eto'o, 22-Milito, 27-Pandev,

Please get these players ready. At 1:30 in the afternoon, we will take the bus to the airport. "

There was no Balotelli's name, and until the end, Balotelli did not hear his own name. After Faria's announcement, Balotelli stood up suddenly and glared at Mourinho, " Why?"

Mourinho looked at Balotelli coldly, "I don't need to explain to you, this is a tactical need."

"Asshole! You're just avenging yourself, it's a bullshit tactical necessity. Of all the people here, except Gao, who is stronger than me!" Balotelli roared. Eto'o, Milito, and Pandev's expressions all changed. They were all famous figures. They were embarrassed to be told this by a stupid kid in front of their faces.

Gao Xiaodong was so praised by Balotelli that he felt like he had a cactus sitting under his butt, which was so uncomfortable.

"This is a tactical necessity." Mourinho repeated it coldly.

"I don't believe it, you have to give me an explanation." Balotelli said and rushed towards Mourinho.

Materazzi's role in staying in the team was to help Mourinho deal with the thorns, but he did not expect Mourinho to exclude Balotelli from the squad. He was too shocked for a moment. Forgot to stop Balotelli.

Now Balotelli rushed towards Mourinho. He quickly stood up and grabbed Balotelli, "You are crazy, what do you want to do?"

At this time, Gao Xiaodong, Zanetti and others also hurried over and grabbed Balotelli, "Mario, what do you want to do?" "Go back quickly!" "This is the coach."

After Balotelli was furious, he also gained some sense. He roared at Mourinho: "I don't accept it!" After saying that, he turned around and rushed out of the conference room, driving away from the training base.

Mourinho watched Balotelli leave the conference room coldly, and then announced to everyone: "Everyone go back and have a rest. Set off on time at 1:30, no lateness is allowed, the meeting is dismissed."

Everyone left the conference room and went back to their dormitories to rest. Mourinho went to the studio hall alone to hold a press conference and announced to the media the list of 18 people going to London.

Moratti sat in front of the TV and watched the press conference. When he saw that Mourinho's 18-man roster did not include Balotelli, Moratti was very surprised. He took out his mobile phone and wanted to call Mourinho. , but after pondering for a while, he gave up.

Balotelli's brother was very angry after seeing the press conference. After contacting Balotelli, he immediately held a press conference to express regret and shock for Balotelli's defeat, and believed that this would be detrimental to Balotelli. Lotley is unfair.

…

London, Stamford Bridge Stadium, Studio Hall

Ancelotti is holding a pre-match press conference with captain Terry.

Ancelotti said: "Inter Milan has always been and has always been a respectable opponent. Their defense is very strong, but we have Drogba. He is in very good shape now and is an important weapon for us to advance, but we cannot I will rely on Drogba, we are a whole, a team.

Mourinho is a great coach and I have no conflicts with him. Although we are not friends, his return to Stamford Bridge will be warmly welcomed by the fans because he and Abramovich have built a world-class team here. I hope that in the future When I return to Chelsea, I will be welcomed by the fans.

Facing the Italian champions, returning to Stamford Bridge with a 1-goal deficit and 1 away goal is a starting point that most teams hope to get. We believe we can complete the reversal. Chelsea still have the opportunity to compete for the Premier League, Champions League and FA Cup this season. Every game is very crucial. We can only succeed if we win. "

The referee of this game will not be the focus. Although Stark referees Inter Milan's games, Inter Milan has not won a game, but this is not a problem. Stark is an international-level referee and he has the ability to referee a game well. . "

After saying good things about Mourinho, Ancelotti finally used Balotelli to tease Mourinho, "I am happy to coach Balotelli, I don't believe there is any problem in getting along with him." ."

Captain Terry also expressed his belief in defeating Inter Milan and advancing, "Jose is a great coach. It will definitely feel strange to play against Jose's team at Stamford Bridge, but I believe we will win because we are stronger." It’s really a pity to be without Cech and Hilario, but I believe it won’t affect our win.”

…

Three hours later, Inter Milan arrived in London from Milan, and the life-and-death battle in the second round of the Champions League between Inter Milan and Chelsea, Mourinho and Ancelotti slowly began.
