Volume One: Heroes Appear, People Pay Attention Chapter 135: The Unforgettable Opponent (Guaranteed Second Update)

Chapter 135: A memorable opponent (Second update guaranteed)

The media called on the old guys of Inter Milan to fight for their dignity and honor. It can be seen that the media actually know the bad things inside Inter Milan.

Although many reporters feel that it is these old guys who have become the biggest obstacle to Inter Milan's continued progress, but at this juncture, these old guys are the only ones they can rely on... It is really ironic.

I usually scold them a lot, but now I have to coax them like babies and serve them carefully. During this period, the media in Milan City did not dare to report on the various strange phenomena in the Inter Milan locker room.

But they were actually overthinking it. For these Inter Milan players, Chen Yingxiong was a lingering problem. They beat them many times during their time in Naples. In the season when Inter Milan became the Triple Crown champion, the only one who double-killed them during the season was Napoli and Chen Yingxiong. So if the Inter Milan players have any regrets, it must be this.

The Triple Crown winner's crown is stained with a trace of dirt, and it can't be wiped off...

In addition to the Triple Crown season, Chen Yingxiong's Napoli also won more and lost less when facing Inter Milan, which made the Inter Milan players very unhappy.

They have always wanted to reverse the winning-loss ratio in the battle between the two sides, but Chen Yingxiong transferred and left.

Now, wanting revenge is out of the question.

Unexpectedly, fate gave them an excellent opportunity

Defeated Chen Yingxiong and his Liverpool in the Europa League final, snatched their championship, and spit out the bad breath that had been held in their xiong for a long time.

Therefore, in this Europa League final, Inter Milan's old guys are very motivated.

This makes Inter Milan's head coach Villas-Boas feel strange - these old guys usually don't give him any trouble, so he is thankful to God. How come they can cooperate with his preparation plan this time? Working so hard in training...

Villas-Boas has not coached Inter Milan before and knows very little about the grievances between Inter Milan and Chen Yingxiong, so it is normal to have such doubts.

But he knew very well that Chen Yingxiong was very powerful.

He also coached Chelsea in the Premier League for a period of time last season. During that period, his team played against Liverpool once. Although Liverpool lost that game, Villas-Boas did not think it was Chen Yingxiong's responsibility. On the contrary In a very unfavorable situation, Chen Yingxiong scored a goal, which saved a little face for a giant like Liverpool.

Liverpool's performance this season also confirms Chen Yingxiong's strength. The biggest difference between Liverpool's outstanding performance and last season is actually the arrival of a new head coach. And this new head coach has given full play to Chen Yingxiong's energy, so Liverpool will naturally have such results...

So Boas dare not underestimate this opponent.

He takes his opponents seriously and his players are full of fighting spirit, which gives Villas-Boas hope of defeating Liverpool in the Europa League final.

This season he replaced the previous interim coach Stramaccioni and became the coach of Chelsea. The performance in the first half of the season was not very good. The team was eliminated from the Champions League group stage and the performance in the league was also very average.

Villas-Boas kept emphasizing to the media that he had just arrived at Inter Milan and could not lead the team to an earth-shaking performance immediately. He asked the media and players to give him time. In fact, he was also shouting to Chairman Moratti through the media, hoping that Don't fire this notoriously impatient chairman in a hurry, as that would fail all his transformation plans.

Fortunately, Moratti really gave Boas enough patience this time. When the team was eliminated from the Champions League group stage, Boas was at the forefront, and almost everyone believed that he must be dismissed. Unexpectedly, Moratti withstood the huge pressure and did not let him leave early.

He gave Boas trust, and Boas did not let him down. In a two-front battle, he led Inter Milan to catch up and qualify for the Champions League next season. At the same time, in the Europa League, his Inter Milan also reached the final. There is no repeat of the mistakes of the two brothers Manchester United and Manchester City last season.

This kind of performance has saved him from worrying about being fired after the season. He will have more time to implement his "reforms."

Of course, if he can lead the team to win a Europa League championship, it can be called a success.

It can definitely be recorded in the club history of Inter Milan for future generations to worship and admire.

Inter Milan is actively preparing for the game, as is Liverpool.

As the game approaches, the confrontation between the two sides in the media also begins to emerge.

The Liverpool media began to dig through the pile of old papers and found out the confrontation between Chen Yingxiong and Inter Milan when he was still in Naples, and then excitedly announced that they were invincible. Because Chen Yingxiong's victory against Inter Milan is quite high, Liverpool has Chen Yingxiong, which is actually equivalent to having the key to defeat Inter Milan.

As a result, this kind of behavior just aroused the fighting spirit and anger of Inter Milan, and those old guys trained even more vigorously.

This may be their last chance, a chance to make up for the disappointment of the Triple Crown season.

I missed it. The next time the two teams want to meet, who knows when it will be...

So Boas was actually very happy when he saw the current situation.

He even wished that Liverpool would be more aggressive in their publicity and belittle Inter Milan even more, so that Inter Milan could be made to share the same hatred and arouse their fighting spirit and competitiveness.

Villas-Boas is already very aware of the strength of this team. In fact, if they are serious about it, Inter Milan will still be one of the top three in Italy. It is not impossible to compete for the league championship. He feels that in the Champions League, at least Also able to reach the quarterfinals.

The problem is that this team never takes it seriously and is completely drained.

As long as they can concentrate their minds on one thing and become a god, Villas-Boas believes that the power they unleash will be enough to defeat their opponents in the Champions League final, let alone the Europa League. .

※ ※ ※

Being so ridiculed by the Liverpool media, the Milan media was naturally not to be outdone. They didn't dare to refute the history of fighting between Chen Yingxiong and Inter Milan. They were Italian media, and they knew best how powerful Chen Yingxiong was.

But they can also give their team confidence.

For example, it would be a good idea to start with the head coach.

They believe that Inter Milan is actually the side with the real advantage because their head coach Villas-Boas is a head coach with rich experience, especially in the Europa League.

How did Boas become famous?

It was because he led FC Porto to the Triple Crown that year, the domestic league championship, domestic cup championship and Europa League championship.

That's why he became an instant hit because he was regarded as Mourinho's successor.

After all, he also has the experience of winning the Europa League. Doesn’t his resume look better than that of Liverpool’s head coach Martin O’Neill?

So if we talk about the Champions League final, it's hard to say, but since it is the Europa League final, everyone thinks that Villas-Boas has the advantage. After all, they have championship experience, and football is all about experience. Head coaches with championship experience and head coaches without championship experience are completely different in temperament. Experienced people will be more confident, while inexperienced people are always hesitant. These small differences may lead to different final results.

The war of words between the two sides continued, but it was just a battle between the media, and neither players nor coaches participated.

It was not until the day before the start of the game that Chen Yingxiong finally said something, which was immediately spread and hyped by the media.

Chen Yingxiong said this: "Playing against Inter Milan in the final is really nostalgic..."

Just such a sentence was interpreted by the media as "Hero is humiliating Inter Milan", "Hero hinted that he has defeated Inter Milan many times and has a psychological advantage", "Hero Gale and Inter Milan are his losers"...

Of course, the media based their analysis on Chen Yingxiong's consistent performance. After all, with Chen Yingxiong's character, if he doesn't stir up trouble before the game, he is simply not Chen Yingxiong.

And he is indeed good at sarcasm. So much so that when everyone sees him talking like this now, they have to turn around in their minds to see if there is a deeper meaning, so as not to be scolded by him without even realizing it.

But this time, the media really wronged Chen Yingxiong. He just sighed with emotion, because playing against Inter Milan reminded him of his time in Naples.

Those years are indeed memorable.

Before the game, Chen Yingxiong’s teammates in Naples also expressed their support for Liverpool and hoped that Liverpool would win the championship. This was called by the Milan media as a behavior of turning the elbow outward. But Naples doesn’t care about that much. They support their former teammates and good friends, and it’s only natural that they support them.

No matter what Chen Yingxiong himself meant, when this sentence was interpreted by the media, it immediately became that Chen Yingxiong was provoking Inter Milan.

This makes the Inter Milan players even more unhappy - it's okay if you don't mention the past, but if you mention it, I'll be very angry. In this final, I have to fight to defeat you. I definitely can't let people like you continue to be rampant. Got down

Of course, Chen Yingxiong knew how the media was hyping up his words, but since it had already been misunderstood, he didn't bother to explain anything. This made him appear weak, and might be understood by others as being easy to bully. Chen Yingxiong didn't want to be thought of as that kind of person, otherwise where would he put his face?

Anyway, the media used him to ridicule Inter Milan, so he had no objection - he was not worried at all that this would cause dissatisfaction among Inter Milan fans and players. He already had enough mortal enemies, and he didn't care about a few more enemies. Moreover, is it possible that when he was in Naples, he made little noise when he double defeated Inter Milan? When he was in Naples, Inter Milan fans were already unhappy with him, so there was no need to wait until now to worry about this issue.

In this way, the Europa League final began under such undercurrents...
