Chapter 670: Get the Top Scorer

After the Coppa Italia final, Inter Milan players celebrated even more enthusiastically than when they defended their league title.

This is not because Inter Milan is tired of winning the league championship, nor is it because Inter Milan failed to win the Italian Cup last season. The main reason is that they have more time.

After the Coppa Italia final, Inter Milan still has two league games. However, because Inter Milan has already won the league championship in advance, these two league games have no meaning for Inter Milan, and naturally there is no need to prepare for the game.

The celebrations lasted for three days, and the home game against Chievo became a theater of celebration.

Although the last two games have no meaning for Inter Milan, they still mean something to Gao Xiaodong. Now Gao Xiaodong has scored 25 league goals, only 1 less than Udinese's Di Natale. If Gao Xiaodong plays in the last two rounds, he still hopes to compete with Di Natale for the top scorer.

Inter Milan has no performance requirements, just training, but Inter Milan players are willing to help Gao Xiaodong win this personal honor.

Veterans like Materazzi and Zanetti have said that Gao Xiaodong may help them realize their dream of winning the Champions League. How can they not try their best to help Gao Xiaodong win the honor of being the top scorer.

Mourinho has no objection to this, but he said that he will go to England to watch Manchester United's battle. Assistant coach Baresi will direct the game, but no matter who directs, Inter Milan will not send all the main players.

The main players come on the field to warm up. As long as the main players are not injured, they can play however they want on the field. It doesn't matter whether they win or lose, as long as they don't suffer a humiliating defeat. .

Head coach Mourinho made this statement, and Inter Milan's players knew it well. In the game against Chievo, Inter Milan adopted extreme offensive football, preferring to lose two goals to score one.

Chievo basically succeeded in avoiding relegation, and the possibility of being relegated was extremely slim. Therefore, although they adopted a defensive counterattack, they were not conservative. The two sides went back and forth, and the fight was inextricable.

In another league game, Udinese and Chievo had the same points, and they basically succeeded in avoiding relegation. Their biggest wish was for their core Di Natale to be the top scorer, so Udinese and Bari In the game, Udinese played equally open.

Although Inter Milan only played some of the main players, they were still stronger than Chievo. In the bayonet match between the two sides, Inter Milan quickly gained the upper hand. They constantly created opportunities for Gao Xiaodong, and Gao Xiaodong also transformed into a shot. The player kept trying to shoot, and finally scored a goal in the 30th minute, tying Di Natale for the number of goals scored.

But in another game,

Di Natale, the core of Udinese, showed no mercy. After Gao Xiaodong scored, he scored two goals in 20 minutes and once again overtook Gao Xiaodong by one goal.

Di Natale's two goals angered Gao Xiaodong. In the second half, Gao Xiaodong first scored twice with a free kick, and then used a volley in stoppage time to complete the reversal, helping Inter Milan defeat 4:3. Flying Donkey Chievo, Gao Xiaodong also scored 28 goals to tie Di Natale.

When Gao Xiaodong and Di Natale competed for the top scorer, the league title battle between Manchester United and Chelsea also came to an end. In the last round of the Premier League, Manchester United was one point behind Chelsea. If Chelsea wins, they will win the Premier League championship. , once Chelsea cannot win, Manchester United's opportunity will come.

In such a game, Ferguson and his Red Devils army will definitely not hide anything. For Mourinho, this is the best opportunity to spy before the Champions League final.

With Ferguson around, Manchester United has a strong ability to withstand pressure and is very stable in beating opponents. When Chelsea took the lead in the first 6 minutes, Manchester United did not panic. In the 30th minute, Rooney's shot hit the opponent's defender and bounced out. Fletcher got the ball and pushed the ball home.

However, Ancelotti's Chelsea were also very stable. In the 32nd minute, the score was expanded. Wigan Athletic's Cardwell pulled Lampard in the penalty area and was sent off with a red card. Drogbaso's penalty kick opportunity was rejected. Lampard personally The penalty kick was successful and the score was rewritten to 2:0.

At this time, Chelsea had a two-goal lead and one more player, almost sealing the victory, but Manchester United still did not give up. Giggs and Park Ji-sung scored consecutively, rewriting the score to 3:0, completing the task they should complete, and then waiting for a miracle. 's appearance.

However, Chelsea is not the Bayern of 1999. Their morale was high in the second half, scoring 6 goals in a row, beating Wigan Athletic 8-0, ending all hopes of Manchester United and winning the Premier League championship.

Mourinho watched the entire 90 minutes of the game in a corner of the stadium, noted down the performance of all Manchester United players after Chelsea sealed the victory, and then quietly left Manchester as if he had never been here.

On the second day after returning to Milan, Mourinho held a tactical meeting and presented the results of his and his assistants' recent research on Manchester United to the players in the form of video highlights.

After the players watched the highlights of Manchester United and each player's performance and strengths and weaknesses in offense and defense, Mourinho's first words left everyone stunned.

"Manchester United's strength has dropped compared to last season! Our hope of winning the championship is over 70%!"

"Without Ronaldo, Manchester United lacks the strongest point to break the balance on the field; without Tevez, neither Owen nor Berbatov can replace Tevez, while Giggs, Scholes and Fletcher is another year older, and Manchester United still has the ability to stably beat opponents, but the strong dialogue has lacked dominance. If we had encountered Manchester United last season this season, we would have great hopes of advancing."

"I said that our hope of winning the championship is more than 70%. This is to tell everyone a fact, but don't be too happy too early. Hope, possibility, probability, these things have little impact on the result, just like Manchester United and Bayern in 1999. In the last three minutes of the Champions League final, the probability of Manchester United winning was not even 1%, but it was the Manchester United people who won the championship in the end. This is football."

"So we must do targeted training carefully so that we can perform at our normal level under any circumstances, so that we can show greater possibilities."

"Everyone will take the information back and study it. From now on, we will officially enter the intensive training stage for the Champions League final. Everyone will put aside everything and spend all their energy on preparing for the game. Whether it is a transfer or a salary increase, as long as you win the Champions League, All the initiative is in your own hands."

Inter Milan has entered the intensive training phase, which is more beneficial to Gao Xiaodong's competition for the top scorer, because the last round of the game against Siena became Inter Milan's tactical training match.

Siena, who was relegated early, had no intention of competing, and the game with Inter Milan was just like coping, allowing Inter Milan to practice various offensive and defensive tactics at their home court.

Gao Xiaodong and Di Natale have both scored 28 goals now. He doesn't know how many goals Di Natale will score in the end. All he can do is score as many goals as possible.

From the tenth minute of the game, Gao Xiaodong entered the state. He first broke through Siena's goal with a free kick, and then scored a goal almost every ten minutes. At the end of the game, Gao Xiaodong scored consecutively. 5 goals, expanding the total number of goals to 33 goals, ranking third in the century-old Serie A history, second only to AC Milan's Nordahl.

When Gao Xiaodong scored the first goal, Di Natale also scored a goal soon after. When Gao Xiaodong scored the second goal, Di Natale scored another goal half an hour later.

At this moment, Di Natale's number of goals has reached 30 goals. This number of goals is second only to Tony's 31 goals in the 2005-06 season among the top scorers in the past sixty years. Di Natale feels that he should be stable. But immediately after Di Natale scored, he got the news that Gao Xiaodong had scored another goal.

Di Natale was going crazy. He didn't know what kind of monster he was facing. Was he playing football like basketball?

As Gao Xiaodong scored another goal, Di Natale completely gave up the hope of catching up. In the end, he could only finish behind Gao Xiaodong with an ultra-high score of 30 goals. He watched helplessly as Gao Xiaodong came up from behind and snatched it away from him. won the honor of top scorer.
