Chapter 62 Mourinho's Battle
Chapter 62 Mourinho's Battle
"Now the whole of Italy will be happy that we are out!"
Mourinho's cold words caused an uproar.
Nerazzurri's Champions League dreams were shattered by the goals of Vidic and Ronaldo. Although Mourinho seemed calm after the whistle blew, he walked into the field to shake hands with his players and the opponent. .But at the post-match press conference, Mourinho was still so explosive and defended his team in the first place, just as reporters from all over the world were receiving rags.
"But I don't care, I'm not angry, just sad, we've just been unlucky in this kind of game. Inter Milan did a great job tonight, but it's not easy to play at Old Trafford and it's even more unfortunate. ,Luck is not on our side. My players have never won the Champions League and are so eager for this honor, it's a pity..." Mourinho's tone of lament changed, his eyes narrowed, and a fierce warning was heard by everyone on the scene. There was a huge shock in his heart, "If you still want to criticize my team and players, please step over my dead body first..."
The violent breath made the reporters' hairs stand on end, and their livers trembled!
Inter Milan stopped in the 1/8 finals of the Champions League. So far, all three Serie A teams have been eliminated. This result is quite tragic for Italian football, but one fact that cannot be concealed is: the first time since the 3/2001 season No Serie A team has entered the top 02 of the Champions League. This is also the worst result in Serie A since the Champions League resumed the top 8 two-round knockout system.The Serie A, which has continued to decline, has fallen to the bottom.
After the game, the British "Times" wrote a special article: "The Italian national team may be a lion, but Serie A is like a toothless cat in front of the Premier League team! The difficulty of the Champions League is probably not as good as the FA Cup !"
The ridicule of the British media angered the Italian media. "Gazzetta dello Sport" pointed out: "The Britons, who have been frustrated by the failure of the national team for many years, are eager to save face with the success of the club in the past two years. The coach is an Italian." And "Corriere dello Sport" said with a smile: "Although in the eyes of many people, the success of the Premier League does not belong to the English, but to the Russians, Americans and Emiratis."
After a fight between the Italian media and the British media, Inter Milan was blamed for the decline of Serie A and the stagnation of the European war. According to the reporter, Mourinho has now stood on the opposite side of the entire Italian football circle. It doesn't matter, but would Italian fans think so?
In terms of on-the-spot command, the Italian media also raised some doubts about Mourinho's adjustment. "Corriere dello Sport" pointed out: "Inter Milan did not make partial changes under the premise of falling behind in the opening score, which resulted in Ibrahimovic being isolated and helpless in the frontcourt." This is one of Mourinho's problems; second, "Gazzetta dello Sport " pointed out that after Adelaide played in the second half, he quickly hit the goal post, which proved his power. Was it too late for him to play?Mourinho did not respond quickly after losing the ball, which is the second problem.
The Italians want to recover from Mourinho the face they lost by the British. After Inter Milan was eliminated in the Champions League, they vowed that Moratti's main goal of hiring a madman has also failed.Judging from all signs, the possibility of the Portuguese leaving Meazza after this season is very high. We don't have to wait too long. We will know the answer in three months.
In the early morning of April 4th, the night was cold and windy, and Mourinho arrived in Milan with the Inter players by plane.
There was no media exposure, and not many people greeted them. This business was almost silent.
This group of superstar players who are accustomed to being watched in Milan may have expected that after a temporary calm, there will be hysteria.
At daybreak, Inter Milan ushered in overwhelming reports and sharp criticism like a storm. Basically, the entire Inter Milan team was recruited, and Mourinho and Bi Xia were severely disabled.
Inter Milan fans couldn't hold back their dissatisfaction, and pointed the finger at Mourinho, thinking that the world's most highly paid coach failed to lead Inter Milan to success. They put up slogans and shouted "Portuguese liar, get out of Milan City" , I hope Moratti will fire Mourinho.
Mourinho became the coach of Inter Milan in the summer of 2008. In order to invite the Portuguese, Moratti did not hesitate to offer a sky-high annual salary of 900 million euros. It was for this coaching change that he took out hundreds of millions of euros from his pocket.Moratti hired Mourinho to coach Inter Milan with a very clear goal, which is to help Inter Milan return to the top of Europe after a lapse of more than 40 years.But Mourinho did not show a convincing performance, and Inter Milan was sent out by Manchester United in the quarter-finals.Although losing to the defending champion is better than losing to Liverpool last season, Inter Milan's performance in the Champions League has fallen to its lowest level in five years.Moreover, after Mourinho came to Milan, he spent almost every day surrounded by doubts, and his character also offended many people, including Inter Milan executives!
Although he has not broken through the second round of the Champions League knockout round for three consecutive years, Mourinho still believes that Inter Milan has improved under his coaching. He took the initiative to stand up and face the angry Inter fans who wanted to tear him apart.
Mourinho seemed to be wearing a helmet and armor, and the fans were going crazy with his invulnerable rogue.When the insulting guns turned to the players, Mourinho defended his territory with pride, "The players created some opportunities after conceding the ball. You can feel the fear of Manchester United and the audience towards Bixia. However, in the second half Manchester United The team scored again and it was the result of our defense not being well prepared for the high ball. Anyway, Inter played with confidence and composure and made a mistake in a set-piece, but behold, United have Six players are 6 meters tall, while Inter Milan only has one player as tall as them, and it is impossible to change this reality." Mourinho and the media desperately fought, as if they believed that Inter Milan had hoped to win. To a tie with a score, Mourinho believes that the Nerazzurri have an important gain compared to the fans shouting that the sky is about to collapse, which is temperament: "We are unlucky, but I see a team with temperament. Playing Inter Milan, that's the most important thing. Being fearless about anything and anyone, that's the most important thing."
When the team was in trouble and was criticized and questioned by the media, Mourinho stood in front of the team as a shield. Mourinho brainwashed the public over and over again. After the sharp remarks, the public's attention can be diverted by him, and the media and fans will naturally focus their firepower on Mourinho.
Bi Xia hid in the Inter Milan headquarters, opened the curtains and looked at Mourinho's tough back, his bare heart seemed to have a pillar, and with Mourinho's protection, Bi Xia felt that his whole body was full of strength. I told myself silently in my heart that I will definitely fight for the Champions League next year.
Before returning to Milan, Bixia had prepared himself mentally, and the facts were more serious than expected. After only one game, the 1-2008 Champions League came to an end, except for Mourinho Oh, Bicha is the only focus of verbal criticism in the Italian media.
The media did not stop mocking him for a moment. The Italian media fully reported that he was the sinner of Inter Milan's exit, and called him a yellow-skinned coward, a soft-footed shrimp!Many Inter fans were incited to boycott him.
In the past, the ridicule Bi Xia received mainly came from neutral and opposing fans. This is the first time he has been told to get out by his own fans. This experience is more worrying than missing a penalty kick.Frustrated, Bi Xia felt more and more lonely.
Moratti walked up to him with red wine, "Jose is trustworthy, and so are you. I trust you. I am very happy that you will continue to stay at Inter Milan."
Contrary to the expectations of the outside world, Moratti did not throw a check to let Mourinho go, but from the moment he was eliminated from the game, he ignored the opinions of high-level officials and resolutely stood on Mourinho's side.From Lippi, Cooper, to Mancini, Moratti has gradually become patient on the issue of coaching.In fact, this does not mean that Mourinho's position is safe and secure. Moura is worried that the dismissal of Mourinho will pay a heavy liquidated damages.
"If Inter Milan had Champions League phobia in the past, tonight has proved that we are cured. Now the team does lack something, but I will explain it further with the club. Anyway, I can tell you for sure that the Serie A champions are now in It's decided." Even if Inter Milan lost, Mourinho would not admit defeat, showing the heroic spirit of a man who will always strive for victory.
Mourinho shouldn't have hesitated when he took over Inter Milan, but now he will shrink back because of the boos of the fans.The Inter Milan he entered is a wealthy team with a long history and honor, but as such a giant, it has not won the Champions League for 45 years, which shows the embarrassment of Inter Milan.To bring Inter Milan back to the top of Europe after 44 years means that he must have the strength and confidence to surpass any coach.Mourinho decided that this was his challenge.
Mourinho turned around, with the corners of his clothes flying, and the protesters choked on Mourinho's victorious posture, and they didn't sleep well for several nights after returning.
For a while, the fans laughed and cursed, all because of Mourinho, negating, affirming, and negating again, Apennines have never been so restless.
It's all because Inter Milan's coach is called Mourinho.All because Bi Xia encountered the Italian media, a strange group who forgot what they said the day before and the next day.
The author has something to say: Bi Xia: Messi, please don't masturbate against the wall in the future.
Messi: Goo~~(╯﹏╰)b, what are you worried about, I can't find a child anyway.
Bi Xia: Sun Wukong's father thought so too.
