Chapter 625 Jersey and Volcanic Ash

After Mourinho returned from Spain, he reconciled with Inter Milan's star of hope and Moratti's "godson" Balotelli.

The main reason for the settlement is that Inter Milan's schedule is too tight. In less than two weeks after the quarter-finals with CSKA Moscow, Inter Milan needs to play two league games and the second leg of the Italian Cup semi-finals. the match of.

The two league matches were against Fiorentina and Juventus, and the Italian Cup was also against Fiorentina.

In these three games, Inter Milan does not want to lose any of them, because if they lose, Inter Milan may have to make a painful choice in the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals against Barcelona.

Balotelli is a substitute, but he is definitely the most powerful substitute. His offensive power is no worse than the three regular strikers. His problem is that his emotional intelligence is too low and he often does stupid things that affect the unity and reputation of the team. Mourini There is nothing Ao can do without punishing him.

Balotelli did not disappoint Mourinho. Against Fiorentina in the second round of the Coppa Italia semi-finals, Balotelli scored the winning goal to help Inter Milan successfully reach the Coppa Italia final.

After the game, Mourinho praised Balotelli, saying that he had no conflict with Balotelli and that Balotelli was just a little naive and easily taken advantage of.

Inter Milan president Moratti had mediated the relationship between Mourinho and Balotelli before the second leg of the Italian Cup semi-final against Fiorentina. After the game, Moratti said that Balotelli was He expressed his loyalty to Inter Milan with his actions. He hopes that Balotelli can change his past and grow as solidly as Gao Xiaodong.

Balotelli's new agent Raiola took the reconciliation between Balotelli and Mourinho as his own credit. He boasted to the media that without his own hard work in mediating and putting pressure on Inter Milan, Mourinho would have lost the relationship. Rinho is yet to let Balotelli play.

At the same time, Raiola also told reporters that Balotelli is an extraordinary talent. If he meets a good coach, he has the ability to become Mr. Black after Ronaldo, Kaká and Messi.

Mourinho is a complete utilitarian, doing things regardless of right or wrong, only asking about the benefits. Although the conflict between him and Balotelli has not been resolved, for the sake of victory and championship, he easily forgives Balotelli. .

Faced with the dirty and obscene remarks made by Balotelli's agent Raiola, Mourinho ignored them and continued to let Balotelli start instead of Milito in the next league game with Florence.

In this game, Balotelli continued his bravery. He, Gao Xiaodong and Eto'o each scored a goal. In the end, Inter Milan defeated Fiorentina 3:2 and continued to maintain a 7-point lead over Liverpool.

Even if he doesn't like Balotelli anymore, Mourinho is still very happy to have two wins in exchange for his patience.

In the last game before the game against Barcelona, ​​which was the second round of the Italian national derby against Juventus, Mourinho wanted to continue to let Balotelli start, but at this time Balotelli suddenly had an accident. .

Inter Milan has not reached the Champions League final in 45 years. At the critical moment when Inter Milan was entering the final, Balotelli once again caused a shocking scandal.

Before the game against Juventus, Stalfini, the host of the "News Fragments" program of Berlusconi's mediaset, found Balotelli in a bar in Milan, presented him with the Golden Tapir Award, and hoped to interview him. he.

Balotelli first accepted the Golden Tapir Award presented by the program, and then half-heartedly took over a Milan jersey with the number 45 Balotelli written on it from the reporter. Off camera, Balotelli also wore this Ac Milan jersey.

Balotelli originally thought she was just wearing it in private, nothing more, but she didn't expect that when she was wearing a Milan jersey, she was caught by a reporter who was interested in it, and then reported it.

Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, the owner of AC Milan, also took the opportunity to fan the flames.

She first said she had no knowledge of the matter, but then he added: "I don't know what happened, so don't ask me. However, he has a handsome face, an Ac Milan D face."

Balotelli's agent Raiola also knew that Balotelli had gotten into a big trouble. He was angry and angry, and he quickly came out to public relations and said that Balotelli was joking and that he had always been loyal to Inter Milan.

Obviously Raiola's defense was weak and no one believed him.

A talented player from Inter Milan puts on the AC Milan jersey. This is obviously absolutely unacceptable to the Inter Milan club and the Nerazzurri fans. This exceeds their bottom line.

Moratti, who has always been tolerant of players, was very angry. "I think Balotelli must apologize, otherwise this matter will not end well."

Fans called Balotelli a rotten apple, a brainless and a black sheep, and hoped that Moratti would sell Balotelli as soon as possible.

And Mourinho was so angry that his nose was almost crooked. During the critical period of the team's recruitment, he did not expect Balotelli to do such a ridiculous thing. Even if Balotelli was not late, Mourinho could Pretending not to see it, but he couldn't pretend not to know about this matter. Mourinho immediately stated that Balotelli was not suitable to appear at the Meazza Stadium. By the end of this season, he would not send Balotelli again. Turley plays against Inter Milan.

Before the two games, Balotelli suddenly did something like this, which made the Inter Milan fans very disappointed. They felt that this was not a good sign and were full of worries about the game against Barcelona.

But just when Inter Milan fans were worried, an incident that had nothing to do with football brought hope to Inter Milan fans.

Starting on April 14, the volcano under the Eyjafjallajökull glacier in Iceland began erupting. With the spread of volcanic ash, the airspace of many European countries has been closed since August 17, tens of thousands of flights have been grounded, and approximately 6.8 million tourists have been stranded in other countries, which has brought great difficulties to the European tourism industry.

Of course, this incident also brought huge trouble to Barcelona, ​​who were playing away games. If the volcanic ash did not dissipate within three days, Barcelona would have to take a bus and drive more than ten hours and more than 1,000 kilometers from Barcelona to Milan.

For Barcelona, ​​which is also playing a double match in the same week and is also playing a local derby, only 3 points ahead of second-place Real Madrid, this is a huge test for their physical fitness.

Barcelona hoped to postpone the game, but was rejected by UEFA because there are World Cup games at the end of this season and all club competitions must end early.

In this regard, Barcelona's sports manager Begiristain said: "We know that we don't have time to arrange postponed games this year, but now this situation is beneficial to the home team. Playing away games by car is not what we should do in this era."

Guardiola also expressed his dissatisfaction. He joked: "Fortunately, Inter Milan eliminated CSKA Moscow, otherwise we would have to go to Moscow to compete on Saturday."

Mourinho was very happy. He felt that this was an opportunity, but he sarcastically said, "Is Barcelona the only one who takes the bus? Don't Lyon take the bus? I think Barcelona is just afraid of us."

Pique retorted: "Are we afraid of Inter Milan? Even if we walk to Milan, we can beat them."

Pique's words stirred up waves, and then the players, fans and celebrities of Inter Milan and Barcelona started a fierce war of words. The war of words did not stop until the league match between the two teams started.
