Chapter 651: Excessive

After winning the championship, Inter Milan took a day off and left Milan for Barcelona on the third day to challenge six-time champion Barcelona away.

Inter Milan is lucky. By the time they go to Barcelona, ​​the impact of volcanic ash on aviation has been very small, and they can travel by plane. This is definitely a very lucky thing for Inter Milan.

Inter Milan has missed the Champions League final for 38 years and the Champions League trophy for 45 years. This number is older than the majority of Inter Milan fans! Now, Inter Milan sees the best opportunity to break through the embarrassing 38-year history. As long as they do not lose 5 goals on the road, Inter Milan will advance to the finals with their heads held high.

In order to witness history and cheer for the team, at the same time as Inter Milan set off, 4,500 die-hard Inter fans took hundreds of buses from Milan and traveled thousands of miles to Spain to watch the game.

Two hours later, the Inter Milan fans had not yet left the Italian border, and the Inter Milan players had arrived at Barcelona Airport, the second largest airport in Spain.

Before getting off the plane, Barcelona's most famous "traitor" Figo reminded Mourinho to be careful of Barcelona fans coming to cause trouble. They had clamored to give us a good look, but Mourinho said not to care.

But when they took their luggage and went out, Mourinho and the Inter Milan players were a little dumbfounded. They didn't expect that there were so many "fans" wearing Barcelona jerseys outside to pick them up.

Most of the three to four thousand people were wearing Barcelona jerseys, and there were only a handful of Inter Milan fans.

Barcelona fans' jerseys read "Fight to the Death" on the front and "Create Miracles" on the back. They held banners that read "The Camp Nou on April 28th is Inter Milan's Hell" and "Mourinho, you Just a little translation.”

Seeing the Inter Milan players and coaches coming out, Barcelona fans immediately booed loudly and yelled at the Inter Milan players.

Inter Milan did not expect the Catalan fans to be so fanatical, but airport security knew very well. They increased security personnel in advance and advised Inter Milan's players to use the VIP channel and not to come into contact with the fanatical Barcelona fans.

After Figo moved to Real Madrid, he was thrown a pig's head at the Camp Nou. Knowing how crazy Barcelona fans were, he said: "Jose, I think it's better to go through the VIP channel."

Mourinho's eyes were stern. He looked at Figo, then at the frightened players, and said: "This is a battle. We can't hide. Everyone follow me and walk out. I don't believe they can kill." killed us."

After speaking, Mourinho strode out of the airport.

The Inter Milan players secretly admired them.

The courage that a coach can achieve such a great achievement is definitely not something that ordinary people can achieve.

When the Barcelona fans saw the Inter Milan players coming out, they crowded around, pointed at Mourinho and Figo and shouted, "Judas! Little translator! You are going to lose! You ungrateful guys! You are finished! Wait for Barcelona Let’s tear you apart at home!”

Barcelona fans not only cursed, but also threw tomatoes and rotten eggs at Mourinho and Figo.

Although there were more than a hundred security guards and policemen protecting him, a tomato still hit Mourinho. After it split open, the red juice looked like blood.

Mourinho was unafraid, with his head raised and chest high, and he strode towards the luxury bus that picked them up.

The distance of just a few hundred meters, because of the obstruction of Barcelona fans, took Inter Milan players a full 20 minutes. Even if Inter Milan boarded the bus, Barcelona fans still chased the bus and threw debris.

Mourinho did not want to irritate Barcelona fans. After arriving at the hotel, he did not hold a press conference. After holding a team affairs meeting, he let the players rest and then went to Camp Nou for adaptive training in the afternoon.

But while the Inter Milan players were resting, Barcelona police came to their hotel and asked to take Eto'o back to the police station to cooperate with the investigation.

Mourinho and the Inter Milan players were stunned because they had just arrived in Barcelona and arrived at the hotel as soon as they got off the plane. Eto'o could not and did not have time to do bad things.

Mourinho made a strong protest to the Barcelona police and refused to allow them to take away Eto'o, but the Barcelona police ignored Mourinho and forcibly took away Eto'o.

Mourinho was very angry and immediately called Chairman Moratti and asked him to coordinate and resolve the matter as soon as possible.

Moratti did not expect such a thing to happen, so he immediately communicated with Barcelona's senior management and used his personal connections to consult the Barcelona police on the reason for taking away Eto'o.

Moratti is a rich man in Europe, and he can be regarded as a master of the universe. He quickly found out the news. It turned out that the Barcelona police took Eto'o away to investigate Eto'o's tax evasion case in 2005.

Five years later, Eto'o's tax evasion case was investigated again, and it was still on the eve of the Champions League game. This was definitely a conspiracy. Moratti flew to Barcelona urgently, found a local lawyer to protest to the Barcelona Police Station, and asked for Eto'o's bail. .

Eto'o will not be able to come out of the police station for a while, and Inter Milan is still preparing for the game according to the original plan.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Inter Milan came to the Camp Nou stadium from the hotel for adaptive training. At this time, thousands of Barcelona fans came to the stands. They still "entertained" Inter Milan players with boos and insults, disturbing Inter Milan. training.

Mourinho was very dissatisfied. He immediately asked club manager Blanca to call Barcelona and ask fans to leave the stadium and Inter Milan to conduct closed training.

However, Barcelona manager Begiristain said that Barcelona's training has always been open to the public. It is normal for fans to come to the stands to watch training. They cannot drive away fans just for Inter Milan's training. Barcelona is a membership club and they will not do anything to harm the rights of fans. matter.

Inter Milan was leading by a huge margin and promotion was already a sure thing, so Mourinho was uncharacteristically not stimulating Barcelona before the game, nor did he start a war of words with Barcelona. But he didn't expect Barcelona to go so far and bring their main striker Eto'o for no reason. The investigation did not allow Inter Milan to train with peace of mind. Mourinho was very angry. Immediately after the training, he held a press conference and angrily told Barcelona executives and fans, "Barcelona should not try to make a comeback. You are obsessed with winning the championship at the Bernabeu." , this is not a normal dream, Inter Milan is not afraid of any dirty tricks from you, at the end of the game tomorrow, we will eliminate Barcelona."

It wasn't until the evening that Eto'o was released by the Barcelona police. The African cheetah who returned to the hotel was in a very bad mood. He ignored anyone and went directly to his room.

Interfering with training, insulting players, and off-the-catch tactics during critical matches are common, but asking the police to take away the main players for investigation is too much.

Moratti said angrily: "It's so shameless. We took the person away for five hours and found nothing, and then released him and that's it."

Mourinho sneered and said: "President, don't be angry. The more this happens, the more it shows that they are timid. Don't worry, they can't even out the 4-goal gap with any dirty tricks."

Gao Xiaodong was also very annoyed and said: "If we score one, they will be finished. I don't believe they can score six."

Moratti patted Gao Xiaodong on the shoulder, "Xiaodong, it's up to you."

Mourinho also said: "Barcelona will definitely fight hard in this game in order to win the championship at Real Madrid's home court. We must defend with all our strength, and goals can only rely on two or three players in the frontcourt."

Gao Xiaodong had just been promoted to S-level player. He was full of confidence and said: "Don't worry, coach, they will definitely lose."

Moratti looked at Gao Xiaodong's confident look and felt a lot more at ease. He said, "You should rest quickly. Tomorrow night will be a fierce battle."

Moratti and Mourinho arranged for the players to rest. They thought that Barcelona fans had done so many excessive things and nothing would happen again. However, they did not expect that when they slept until midnight, firecrackers suddenly sounded outside the hotel. , and the fans were beating gongs and drums and singing, which woke up all the Inter Milan players.

Mourinho was almost furious. He immediately called the police and asked the police to come over and drive these troublemaking Barcelona fans out.

However, Mourinho called the police at one o'clock in the morning, and the Barcelona police arrived late at three o'clock. However, seeing the fans just playing and singing on the street outside the hotel, the Barcelona police said that if Barcelona fans rushed into the hotel, they would He must arrest them all, but he can't control Barcelona fans singing in the streets, because Barcelona fans have not broken the law.

Mourinho and Moratti almost went crazy, but the police didn't do anything and they had no choice but to ask the players to close the doors and windows and go back to sleep.

After this commotion, it was almost impossible for the players of Inter Milan to fall asleep again, but this also inspired everyone in Inter Milan to have a strong fighting spirit. Originally, they wanted to maintain a draw in the away game, but now they have vowed to double defeat Barcelona in the away game. , breaking their dream of going to the Bernabeu to humiliate Real Madrid. 8)
