Chapter 610: Host and Guest Change Places
At the end of the game, Mourinho walked out of the locker room and stood in the mixed tunnel waiting for the players to arrive.
The players of Inter Milan celebrated on the court, and Mourinho first waited for his former disciples.
Chelsea, the toughest team in Europe, was eliminated by Inter Milan, the biggest softie among the European giants. Not only was their four-year unbeaten streak at home broken, but it also broke the Premier League team's 45-year unbeaten record against Inter Milan in the knockout rounds. , the most embarrassing thing is that they lost five goals, which made Chelsea players very frustrated. The players drooped their heads and said nothing when they came in.
"Hello, Lampard, don't be disappointed. You performed well, but you were unlucky. Ballack, don't be sad. You tried your best. Terry, in fact, you did what a defender should do today... but this is football. ,this is life."
Mourinho greeted every player he coached warmly and comforted them.
Although Chelsea players have a deep relationship with Mourinho, most of them reacted coldly now. They hugged Mourinho and hurried back to the locker room.
If the game results like 1:0 or 2:0, although the Chelsea players are sad and disappointed, they will not fail to reminisce with Mourinho. But now, their mood is really bad, and everyone is thinking Holding back his anger, he probably wouldn't want to say anything to his biological parents, let alone Mourinho.
However, after Ancelotti experienced the great reversal in Istabul, his mental endurance was much stronger than that of the players. He congratulated Mourinho generously and invited Mourinho to go after the press conference. Sit down in his office and drink a glass of Italian red wine he brought.
Mourinho also changed his tit-for-tat hostile attitude towards Ancelotti before the game and enthusiastically agreed to Ancelotti's invitation.
At this time, the Inter Milan players came back from the field after celebrating. Ancelotti shook hands with Mourinho and turned back to his dressing room.
Mourinho had complicated emotions because he was playing against his old club, but Inter Milan's players did not have this kind of relationship. They were all extremely excited and came over to hug and high-five Mourinho, praising his clever tactical arrangements. .
At this time, Mourinho certainly couldn't dampen the joy of the players. He hugged all the players and praised their performance in the game. Returning to the locker room, Mourinho even started talking with the players. We drank champagne to celebrate this victory.
However, when attending the post-match press conference, Mourinho did not bring Gao Xiaodong, but captain Zanetti. This is normal. Although Gao Xiaodong was the best performer in the game, with two goals and three assists, completely dominating the game, on this occasion, Mourinho did not want to irritate the Chelsea players. Those are his friends, even if Although the boss, Abramovich, fired him, he also gave him a limited edition Ferrari after the dismissal. Mourinho only wanted to prove his worth and had no intention of retaliating against Abramovich.
Arriving at the familiar news studio hall, Mourinho picked up the cream biscuits on the table, chewed them and said to the staff: "I have been here for three years and you have always let me eat this. Now I am leaving quickly." It’s been three years and it hasn’t changed yet.”
The stadium staff who was responsible for placing the biscuits laughed out loud and said, "This shows that these biscuits are delicious."
Ancelotti, who came in later, couldn't help but feel a little sad when he saw Mourinho's invisible appearance. He came to Chelsea for almost a year, and he still has not integrated into the team. Here, he is more like It's a visiting team coach.
Mourinho and Ancelotti shook hands, sat down, and then the press officer asked Mourinho to comment on the game.
Mourinho said: "At this moment I am the happiest coach in the world. This is a great moment for our team and for Inter Milan. These players have struggled to cross the Champions League 16 year after year. Now they have finally achieved the obstacle of strong knockout. We did not rely on luck to advance to the quarter-finals.
It’s not that our opponents performed poorly, we relied on our own strength. Thanks to the whole team for their perfect performance, and thanks to the players for their perfect performance from beginning to end today. After overcoming Chelsea’s setback, we have a bright future. "
"We beat Chelsea twice. They are also a strong team and the second favorite after Barcelona. They were not very lucky today, but we deserved to advance to the quarter-finals. I said I understand this The stadium, the atmosphere here and the players of Chelsea, so I think it is impossible to score a 0-0 by defending here, we have to attack. Today we are faster and more mobile on the court, Gao Xiaodong perfectly achieved my goal After we scored two goals in the first half, the game was actually over."
"I didn't celebrate like I usually do after the win, it's really not the way I used to be. It was a fantastic win for my team, now my team is Inter Milan, as now my fans are Inter Milan fans. This victory proves that Stamford Bridge is my blessed place. I can always win here, whether I am at Chelsea or not. For example, tonight, we eliminated here the team that has not been eliminated in the previous 45 years. Premier League team.”
Finally, Mourinho also talked about his relationship with Chelsea coach Ancelotti: "Ancelotti and I sometimes have some excessive words with each other, but these wars of words do not affect our respect for each other. Today he invited me to sit in his office and is going to give me some Italian wine, and I will also give him some Portuguese wine. This proves that we have a good relationship. I wish him to win the Premier League, I don’t He became the only manager in Chelsea's history to win the Premier League title."
After suffering such a heavy blow, Ancelotti's mood was relatively low. He said, "Inter Milan's starting lineup surprised me at all. I didn't expect Sneijder to be placed on the bench. Gao Xiaodong returned to the front line again. His organization and scheduling caused us a lot of trouble. We failed to restrain him. His two passes killed our promotion dream. But what surprised me most was Inter Milan’s full-backs Maicon and Sasha Nettie, both of them worked very hard with Pandev Eto'o to suppress our two wings throughout the game. Inter Milan played a very good game and they put a lot of pressure on us. We The midfield was not functioning properly, which made it impossible for us to play our rhythm. Inter Milan found a way to win, but we couldn't really control the game. There was only a certain part of the time that belonged to us, but we should have To do better, especially up front, if we had scored quickly when Inter scored the first and second goals, the result might have been completely different, but that's football."
"I don't want to make excuses for the failure, but I must say that we were unlucky. Maybe we should have had two penalties, but the referee said there were none, so I don't want to mention it. It's a pity, but we have to focus our energy now. Concentrate on the following games. Now we only have two important championships left to fight for, both of which are important. Now we need to pay more attention to how to be stronger in the game and be better at reasonableness. We have to control the game and improve efficiency at the same time - maybe in a sense, today's loss will be a good boost."
"Roman Abramovich did not ask me to win the Champions League. Obviously he will be disappointed, which is the same for me and the fans. I know how much Roman wants the Champions League, but There are at least seven or eight teams across Europe that are capable of winning the championship, and the one who ultimately wins the championship must not only be strong, but must also be lucky.”
Then the two world-famous coaches answered some questions raised by reporters and left the news studio hand in hand.
