Chapter 603 "We Must Win"
When Inter Milan and his entourage arrived in London, they were the most popular. The one who attracted the most attention from reporters and fans was undoubtedly former Chelsea coach Mourinho.
While at the airport, Mourinho was surrounded by Chelsea fans. Many young people handed over jerseys and scarves and asked him to autograph.
Many fans said: Come back. Someone directly said: Go back to Chelsea. Others said: If you don’t return to Chelsea, at least come back to the Premier League.
Players such as Gao Xiaodong were also welcomed by Inter Milan fans who came to pick them up, but they still could not compare with Mourinho, who was also supported by Chelsea fans and Inter Milan fans.
Mourinho accepted a live interview with reporters at the airport. The madman said affectionately: "I have been away from here for a long time. In fact, I have always wanted to come back, but I don't want to disturb Chelsea. This team now has to change a team every three months." Head coach. I don't like this and don't want to be involved. I stayed away because it always felt uncomfortable to come back. I had a good life in London and I couldn’t bear to leave. When I said goodbye, my heart ached. After that, it has been difficult to face Chelsea again. Now Whether I dare to face it or not, I have to come back. "
"I don't hide my feelings for Chelsea. This is my home, but I am a professional football coach. I must be responsible for Inter Milan and President Moratti. In this game, we will go all out to defeat Chelsea."
But just as Mourinho was recalling it warmly, an Italian reporter asked Mourinho why Balotelli didn't come to London?
Mourinho turned his back at that time, "Why should you pay attention to a player who will not participate in this Champions League game? There are many important players here. They will determine the fate of Inter Milan this season. Is Balotelli important? "
After saying that, Mourinho got on the bus angrily and asked the players to go back to the hotel together.
After having something to eat and resting for two hours at the hotel, Inter Milan's players headed to Stamford Bridge to acclimate to the pitch.
There were also many Chelsea fans at Stamford Bridge waiting for Mourinho's arrival. When Mourinho walked into the stadium, Chelsea fans welcomed the former Blues coach with warm applause and cheers.
The fans are still the same fans, the stadium is still the same, and the unbeaten record at home still exists. Unfortunately, he has become the coach of Inter Milan. Seeing this situation, Mourinho's eyes couldn't help but moisten.
Inter Milan's adaptive training was not disturbed by Chelsea fans. When the players performed brilliantly, Chelsea fans also applauded and encouraged them.
Of course, this is not only because of Mourinho's bond, but also because Chelsea fans believe that their team can eliminate Inter Milan.
Inter Milan's record in the Champions League is very poor. It has not reached the quarter-finals in four years. Even with Mourinho, it did not improve last season. Chelsea is unbeaten in 21 home games in the Champions League and only needs 1:0 to eliminate them in the second round. Inter Milan, with Chelsea's attacking power, Chelsea fans think this can be done easily.
After returning from Stamford Bridge, it was getting late. After dinner, Mourinho called Gao Xiaodong to his room.
"Xiaodong, what do you think of tomorrow's game?"
Mourinho handed Gao Xiaodong a glass of water and motioned for Gao Xiaodong to sit down and talk.
Gao Xiaodong said: "I think it's a 50-50 split. Chelsea is stronger, but the goalkeeper is a weak point. In addition, we are leading and there is still a chance to keep the tie."
Mourinho shook his head and said: "No! We can't have a 50-50 draw. Maybe other players can make a 50-50 draw, but the two of us have to win, because this game is very important to the two of us. If I lose Game, at the end of this season, I will definitely be fired. You are the one I want to come to. The highest price in history and the highest salary in the team. If you can't even reach the quarterfinals of the Champions League, your life will not be the same after I am fired. It will be better, so for both of us, this game is an absolute life and death battle and we have to win."
Gao Xiaodong's complexion changed slightly,
He understands that what Mourinho said is not an exaggeration at all. Mourinho has the highest annual salary among coaches. If it takes two seasons to reach the top 16 of the Champions League, Moratti, no matter how good his temper, cannot accept it. It is inevitable for Rinho to get out, and he may not leave, but his reputation as a parallel importer cannot go away, and a new coach will never trust him so much. This game is indeed more important to him and Mourinho.
"I have confidence, and I will definitely go all out, but our strength is indeed not as good as our opponents. They have not lost at home in the Champions League in four years." Gao Xiaodong said.
Mourinho smiled coldly and said domineeringly: "I started Chelsea's unbeaten home game, and I should end it now. There is no undefeated Blues at Stamford Bridge, only undefeated Mourinho. "
Gao Xiaodong listened silently to Mourinho's pretentiousness without saying a word, thinking that the cannon alone was not enough. If he wanted to defeat the strong with the weak, he had to find a way.
Although Mourinho is called a madman, he is by no means a talker. He is a man of action. He continued: "Although Chelsea has changed coaches, their style of play is still basically the same as mine, and the only personnel changes have been Ivanovic and Ivanovic. Anelka, their offense still relies on long passes from the two wings and the center to find Drogba. As long as we keep an eye on Drogba and suppress Chelsea's two sides, their offense will be useless."
When Gao Xiaodong heard this, he understood, "Coach, you mean that I continue to play on the wing."
Mourinho shook his head and said: "No, Eto'o and Pandev are suppressing Chelsea's two sides on the wing. You play as an attacking midfielder, move behind Milito, and return to the edge of your own penalty area when there is no ball. .”
Gao Xiaodong was a little stunned and said, "What about Sneijder?"
Mourinho said: "Didn't Sneijder have a fever these past two days? He can just be a substitute."
"Oh, no problem, I can play any position." Gao Xiaodong doesn't care which position he plays, but the attacking midfielder is better, and this position is closer to the opponent's goal.
Mourinho said: "Your burden is not small. You are needed in both offense and defense. Pay attention to the reasonable distribution of physical energy."
Gao Xiaodong said: "Don't worry, coach, my physical fitness is fine."
Mourinho nodded, he still trusts Gao Xiaodong's physical strength. Inter Milan's age is generally older. Without Gao Xiaodong and Muntari's large-scale running in the midfield, Inter Milan's midfielder would be very weak. It's hard to compete with Chelsea.
After talking about the game, Mourinho said again: "Xiaodong, what do you think about me not bringing Balotelli to London?"
Gao Xiaodong believed that Mourinho must know that Balotelli has a good relationship with him, and he said without hesitation: "Actually, Mario has the ability to play against Chelsea."
Mourinho said seriously: "Of course Mario has this ability, but he destroyed the unity of the team. This is something that no coach can tolerate. The same is true for Cordoba. For one day in Inter Milan, players must He considers Inter Milan wholeheartedly. No matter which team he is a fan of or which coach he likes, he cannot be emotional and say or do things that are not conducive to his own team. Just like I have more feelings for Chelsea, but in the game, I will definitely beat Chelsea by any means possible because I am the coach of Inter Milan, do you understand?"
Gao Xiaodong said: "I understand, this is a professional attitude."
Mourinho said: "Yes, this is a professional attitude. Okay, you go back, have a good rest and be prepared for a fierce battle tomorrow."
"Okay, bye coach."
Gao Xiaodong came out of Mourinho's room and had just returned to his own room when Monkey called, "Xiaodong, Balotelli rejected Mendes and has now signed a contract with Raiola."
"Ah, hold the grass."
Gao Xiaodong figured out the cause and effect in an instant. It turned out that Mourinho did not bring Balotelli to put pressure on Balotelli and asked Balotelli to sign with Mendes. Unexpectedly, Balotelli had such a personality that he refused directly. Mendes signed with Raiola.
After talking to Monkey on the phone, Gao Xiaodong sighed and thought to himself, Mourinho, Mourinho, you have all the tricks, but you don't understand the world of Bashen.
