Chapter 623: Advance to the Champions League Semi-Finals
After the game, the Inter Milan players had no intention of celebrating and went to the sidelines to inquire about Gao Xiaodong's injury.
The Inter Milan fans in the stands were unwilling to leave, and they all waited in the stands for the results of Gao Xiaodong's hospital examination.
The commentators and staff at the scene were also very anxious, but they still patiently comforted and persuaded the fans to go home and wait for the news, "No need to wait here. Xiaodong goes to the hospital for a check-up, which will take at least two or three hours. Xiaodong is at the stadium. I'm awake now, so it shouldn't be a big problem. You can go back and wait to watch the news, or check Inter Milan's official website. As soon as Xiaodong gets the results, they will be announced immediately."
The fans left the stadium under the persuasion of the on-site staff and went home to sit in front of computers and TVs to wait for Gao Xiaodong's test results.
Inter Milan's players returned to the locker room to take a shower and wait for Mourinho's post-match press conference. They all drove together to the Milan hospital to visit Gao Xiaodong.
When Mourinho and the players rushed to the hospital, they found that team doctors Kombi and Xiao Le had helped Gao Xiaodong out of the hospital. Gao Xiaodong was still talking and laughing with Moratti.
Mourinho was surprised and happy, "Xiaodong, how are you?"
Gao Xiaodong said: "I'm fine, coach. Thank you for coming to see me."
Team doctor Kong Bi said: "It's okay. I had a slight concussion. My neck was twisted when I fell. I'll be fine after a few days of rest."
Moratti said with a lingering fear: "Fortunately, Xiaodong is in good physical condition. If it had been someone else, I'm afraid it would have been very dangerous."
What Moratti said is true. Chivu collided with his opponent and suffered a fractured skull. He has not yet recovered from the injury. Gao Xiaodong was punched in the face by Akinfeev with both fists. He only had a slight concussion and was not injured. Fortunately.
Mourinho made the sign of the cross and said: "God bless."
"God bless." Gao Xiaodong also pretended to make a cross, but he knew in his heart that this was not God's blessing, but the system's blessing. The super headband he bought played a protective role at critical moments. He was not seriously injured.
Moratti's driver drove the car out of the parking lot, and everyone helped Gao Xiaodong get into the car. When they arrived at the door, everyone found hundreds of fans gathered around the entrance of the hospital. They didn't know where they got Gao Xiaodong in this hospital. When the news came about the examination, people gathered at the hospital entrance late at night waiting for the news.
Moratti was very moved. He pressed down the car window and said to the fans, "Xiaodong is fine. Thank you for your concern. Please go back and rest."
When they heard that Gao Xiaodong was fine, the fans cheered thunderously. They did not disturb Gao Xiaodong and lined up on both sides of the road to watch Moratti and the players leave in their cars.
Seeing so many fans coming to the hospital to visit Gao Xiaodong's injury, Moratti realized how important Gao Xiaodong was in the hearts of the fans. After sending Gao Xiaodong home, Moratti immediately asked Blanca to be on the official website. Gao Xiaodong's test results were announced online to reassure fans who stayed up late waiting.
The next day, although the headlines were the news of Arsenal's 2:2 draw with Barcelona at home, what Inter Milan fans were most concerned about was Gao Xiaodong's injury.
Inter Milan fans finally felt relieved after learning that Gao Xiaodong's injury was fine, with just a slight concussion and sprain.
For Inter Milan, without Gao Xiaodong, defeating CSKA Moscow is a high probability. If Gao Xiaodong is injured in the game against CSKA Moscow and delays the quarter-finals, it will really be more than worth the gain.
Now that Inter Milan has won by 2 goals and kept a clean sheet, Gao Xiaodong is unharmed from his injury. Inter Milan is simply overjoyed. In the Italian newspapers the next day, reporters have already skipped the second match with CSKA Moscow. After the round of competition, we begin to look forward to the semi-finals.
In another game, although Arsenal scored two goals in the last 20 minutes and tied Barcelona 2:2 at home, injuries to Arshavin and Gallas made it increasingly difficult for them to advance to the next game.
This score is equivalent to a small victory for Barcelona, but the yellow card suspension of main center back Pique and Puyol also cast a shadow over Barcelona's advancement.
After all, the gunman's attack power is extraordinary.
Italy's "Gazzetta dello Sport" hopes that Arsenal can upset Barcelona in the next round. In this case, Inter Milan's hope of advancing to the final is very high.
Reporter Condo even drew a path for Inter Milan to win the championship, "If Arsenal defeats Barcelona in an upset, and the madman Mourinho has not lost against Professor Wenger, the probability of Inter Milan knocking out Arsenal is at least 70%. Since Bayern defeated Manchester United 2:1 at home in the other half, and Lyon defeated Bordeaux 3:1, it is likely that Bayern will advance in the end. In this way, Inter Milan will face the average Bayern in the final. If Inter Milan perfectly avoids With the strong teams of Barcelona and Manchester United, the hope of winning the first Champions League in 45 years is very high."
Of course, Condo also pointed out that if Inter Milan encounters Barcelona after advancing, based on the strength displayed by Barcelona in the game against Arsenal, Inter Milan's hope of advancing may be less than 50%.
Coincidentally, the German media is also imagining that Arsenal and Inter Milan can upset and block Barcelona from the final, so that they can hope to win the Champions League trophy again in 10 years.
However, YY is just YY after all. Even CSKA Moscow fantasizes about being able to reverse Inter Milan at home, but in competitive football, strength plays a decisive role.
A week later, the Champions League quarter-finals started again. With a two-goal lead, Mourinho did not let Gao Xiaodong play and formed a defensive counterattack formation to deal with CSKA Moscow.
CSKA Moscow took advantage of the home court and attacked desperately, but Inter Milan's defense was very strong. No matter how hard CSKA Moscow tried, they were still unable to break through Inter Milan's door. In the end, Inter Milan relied on Sneijder's goal to win 1:1 in the away game. 0 narrow victory over CSKA Moscow and easily advanced to the finals with a total score of 3:0.
In the other three quarter-finals, Arsenal failed to create a miracle. Although Bendtner took the lead, Messi scored four goals and defeated Arsenal 4:1, advancing to the semifinals with a total score of 6:3.
After Gao Xiaodong scored twice against CSKA Moscow in the last round, his number of goals in the Champions League reached 9, which is 3 more than the second-placed Messi. Many people think that Gao Xiaodong, the top scorer, is stable. Unexpectedly, Messi actually scored four goals in this round, directly surpassing Gao Xiaodong by one goal. The media all exclaimed that Messi was cheating and that he was possessed by the world champion.
In the other two games in the first half, although Lyon narrowly lost to Bordeaux 0:1, they still narrowly eliminated Bordeaux 3:2 and reached the semi-finals.
In another game, Manchester United defeated Bayern 3:1 at home without any danger, reversed the Bundesliga hegemon Bayern Munich with a total score of 5:4, and met the French Ligue 1 class leader Lyon in the semi-finals.
After the emergence of the semi-finals, the situation has become very clear. Lyon is basically a soy sauce. Inter Milan has little chance of winning against Barcelona. The media is optimistic that Barcelona and Manchester United will meet at the Bernabeu to stage a dream match between Mars and Earth.
