Chapter 652: Life and Death Battle at Camp Nou
The next day, Inter Milan gave up training in the morning and asked the players to catch up on their sleep in the hotel.
This was unplanned, but Mourinho had no choice. He couldn't let the players come to training with sleepy faces.
At the pre-match press conference, Mourinho angrily complained to reporters about the harassment of Inter Milan by Barcelona fans.
"Barcelona is a top team with top coaches and top players. They have been adhering to the same football philosophy for many years and holding high the banner of artistic football, but some of the things I experienced with the team yesterday made me feel that Barcelona was sorry for itself. According to tradition, the police took away our players, and the fans sang, danced and set off firecrackers in front of our hotel. I don’t know how many goals such low-level actions can help Barcelona win, but I know that even the most utilitarian Italian fans can’t do it. Such shameless behavior.”
"The score is now 4-0 and there are still 90 minutes to play. The second leg will be completely different from the first leg because everything will come to light after today's game. It is more important than the first leg and from now on When we start, we forget about the first leg and start from scratch."
"Someone asked me if I owed a debt to Barcelona. I clearly said that I owed a debt to Bobby Robson because he gave me the opportunity to work in Barcelona. I owed a debt to the then president of Barcelona, and I owed a debt to the then president of Barcelona. A debt of gratitude to everyone who works at this club because they have given me a lot of help, but I do not owe it to anyone now."
Gao Xiaodong, who attended the press conference with Mourinho, spoke more directly, "Yesterday's incident was simply a scandal. I think it is really meaningless for Barcelona to do this. There is no way the result will change. This can only result in losing again and again." people."
Guardiola, on the other hand, calmly used Tai Chi push hands to resolve Mourinho's face-to-face questioning.
"I watched the semi-final between Manchester United and Lyon yesterday, and I went to bed after watching it. I don't know what happened at night. Maybe everything that coach Mourinho said really happened, but the fans are always full of passion, passion. God will forgive the mistakes made by fans, Inter Milan might as well treat him as a piece of volcanic ash."
"We made mistakes in Milan, and we have to do more this time. We have 90 minutes to succeed. Tomorrow, both Messi and other players will do their best to invest in the game."
"Last time I talked about referees. This time I don't want it to bother us. I'm not worried because I think there will be a good referee officiating tomorrow's game."
"What we need to win is ourselves. We are excited about the game because this is the semi-final of the Champions League. Inter Milan is a great team and we respect our opponents. We have to stay calm during the game, Play the game with humility,
We hope to beat the best team in Europe and reach the final. We have the best team in the world and no matter what happens, we will have an unforgettable game tomorrow. But what I need the players to remember now is that tomorrow we will face only a football match. "
Guardiola was relatively polite in his words, but Pique, who attended the press conference with Guardiola, was very arrogant. He said boldly: "Inter Milan can win 4 games against us at home, and we can win against them 5 games. We want to It made Inter Milan players hate professional football."
Mourinho and Guardiola exchanged words at the press conference, and Inter Milan president Moratti did not stand idly by this time.
Although Moratti has a gentle temperament, he was also angered by Barcelona this time. He first condemned the Barcelona fans and then expressed that he did not want to watch the game with Barcelona Chairman Laporta.
"I am very sorry for the behavior of Barcelona fans. I don't believe it was instigated by the club. Laporta and I are friends, and Barcelona and Inter Milan have a very good relationship. But this time Barcelona did lack restraint on the fans."
"Although La Liga has the custom of two top clubs sitting together to watch the game, this time I don't want to watch the game with Laporta. Of course, this is not my anger against Laporta. He is my friend and this will never change. , I just hope to be among the 5,000 Nerazzurri fans on the expedition and cheer for the team with them."
"Mourinho doesn't like to talk about referees before games, but I want to say that the referee for this game is the Belgian De Bricklay. This referee refereed the game between Inter Milan and Liverpool in 2008. Two yellows were given and Inter Milan's Materazzi was sent off. The Italian media are very worried about the referee selection. But I won't be as worried as Guardiola. I think Debrikre is an excellent referee and he has rich experience. , knows how to officiate this game, and he will do a good job."
Finally, Moratti publicly talked about Gao Xiaodong, "Just like Barcelona has Messi, we have Gao Xiaodong at Inter Milan. They are both the best players in the world. Gao Xiaodong is now the vice-captain of Inter Milan. I believe he will become an international player." The leader of Milan will lead Inter Milan back to the glorious era of the International."
Due to the Inter Milan general's continuous condemnation in the morning, there were no fans to interrupt Inter Milan's training at Camp Nou in the afternoon. However, the game was very close, and Inter Milan could not do any decent training. It was just to train on set pieces and warm up. Then we went back to the hotel.
At 6:30 in the evening, Inter Milan players took the bus from the hotel and rushed to Camp Nou, the European dream theater, to compete with six-time champion Barcelona for the last ticket to the Bernabeu.
At this moment, the whole of Barcelona has become a city of red and blue. The streets and alleys are full of Barcelona fans wearing red and blue jerseys. They passionately chanted the slogan "Reverse Inter Milan and march to the Bernabeu" and marched towards the Nou Camp, hoping to help. The team created a shocking reversal that had never been seen before in the history of the Champions League.
On the Internet, Barcelona fans all over the world are also supporting Barcelona on forums, live broadcasts, Facebook, Twitter, Weibo and other social media, and attacking Inter Milan fans, whether in the real world or the virtual world. Almost everywhere is talking about this upcoming peak showdown.
Barcelona's on-site commentator came to the commentary box half an hour in advance. He first introduced the lineups of both sides: Barcelona (4-3-3): 1-Valdes/2-Alves, 3-Pique, 5 -Puyol, 18-Gabby Milito/6-Xavi, 15-Keita, 16-Busquets/10-Messi, 9-Ibrahimovic, 17-Pedro International Milan (4-3-1-2): 12-Cesar/13-Maicon, 25-Samuel, 6-Lucio, 4-Zanetti/20-Sneijder, 8-Mo Tower, 19-Cambiaso/10-Gao Xiaodong/9-Eto'o, 22-Diego Milito
After introducing the lineups of both sides, the on-site commentator began to use inflammatory language to cheer up the 90,000 Barcelona fans, asking them to put pressure on the Inter Milan people.
"The enemy is here. They have half a century's desire for the Big Ear Cup. Under the leadership of Mourinho, the former Barcelona translator, they came to the Nou Camp!
This is war! The final battle, life or death, there is no middle option!
They are now 4 goals ahead of us. Their morale is at its highest now. They have not been so close to the Big Ear Cup for a long time. They are extremely hungry. They want to kill us completely and win the Big Ear Cup.
But we have no retreat now, with Camp Nou behind us and the Bernabeu in front!
At the beginning of the season, there were countless voices lingering in my ears. Going to the Bernabeu to complete a Champions League final, for us, the happiness of winning the Champions League at the Bernabeu is by no means inferior to six crowns.
We know what kind of difficulties we face, but difficulties are not a problem. As long as we are united, as long as we are united, as long as we fight hard, any enemy will fall at our feet!
go ahead! Alsugna! Crush the enemy in front of you!
go ahead! Alsugna! Every inch of Camp Nou will be reminded of the horn of charge! "
