Three Hundred and Twenty Five 0 Year Celebration

A silver Volvo XC60 slowly drove into the Pinettina training base in the small town of Appiano Gentile.

Not a moment later, Moratti, Branca and Oriali opened the door and got off the car one after another.

The staff of Pinettina had already greeted them and invited the three of them into the training base.

The headquarters of Inter Milan is in downtown Milan, but the training base is in the outer suburbs.

The three of Moratti were very familiar with Pinettina and went straight to the rest area where the players were.

On the way, I happened to meet Mancini and the coaching staff who came after hearing the news. Moratti and his party were chatting and laughing with Mancini and others, and the atmosphere was obviously very good.

In the players' rest area, Moratti also routinely asked about the team's situation, such as the injured.

Recently, Inter Milan has suffered a lot of injuries.

This is also a problem that plagues Inter Milan most now. Samuel was injured in the game against AC Milan in December, and Cordoba was also injured not long ago. Both central defenders were seriously injured and missed the season ahead of schedule. .

Cambiasso, Maxwell and Ibrahimovic have also suffered injuries recently.

Moratti asked them with great concern, to see if they can play against Naples?

Mancini also responded one by one.

None of the three were seriously injured. Among them, Maxwell had a sprained ankle, Cambiasso was also slightly injured, and Ibrahimovic had an old knee injury. Currently, all three are training with the team, but whether they can play or not, It also depends on the specific situation.

After all, this kind of injury changes every day. .

Moratti is naturally aware of this.

The chairman of Inter Milan mobilized the players, encouraging them to work harder and try to win Naples in the weekend game. At the same time, he also called on them to show a better state in the second round of the UEFA Champions League round of sixteen in the middle of next week. Here, reverse Liverpool.

The players also responded positively to the chairman.

...

"The recent wave of injuries has come at a very bad time."

Leaving the players' dugout, Moratti, Branca and Oriali returned to his office with Mancini.

The four closed the door and discussed the current situation.

Moratti felt that the atmosphere in the Inter Milan locker room was not very good, which was affected by both injuries and achievements.

"Mancho." Moratti looked at Mancini, "You have a heavy burden now."

Mancini nodded emphatically, "Don't worry, I will try my best..."

"No, no, Mancho, you didn't understand me." Moratti interrupted him, "I don't want to hear about the best effort, what I want is the result, you should know, now is not the time to joke. "

Mancini was a little dumbfounded.

"The game against Reggina next weekend, to be honest, we are at home, I am not worried at all, I believe that even if you come on the bench, we can win, but I am worried about this weekend and next Wednesday."

This weekend, go south to Naples, and next Wednesday, host Liverpool.

"You know, after playing Reggina, we ushered in the club's centenary celebration, and we invited many guests from the world of football, from FIFA President Sepp Blatter to UEFA President Michel Platini, Then to Pele, Maradona, Cruyff, etc., there are two or three hundred players and coaches who have played for this team."

The centennial celebration is definitely an important moment for any giant team.

Back then, why did Florentino make up his mind to fire Bosque? Even repeatedly belittle Bosque, thinking he is not a qualified head coach?

Because Del Bosque messed up Real Madrid's well-prepared centenary celebration!

Now, it's Inter Milan's turn, it's Mancini's turn!

In fact, Inter Milan has already made careful arrangements. On the day of the centennial celebration, Inter Milan happens to be at home, and the opponent is Regina. The strength is not strong, and winning is a high probability event.

As Moratti said, he can kill Regina on the bench.

But what Moratti wants, or what all Inter Milan fans want, is Serie A and the Champions League.

In Serie A, Naples is chasing too hard, leaving only a three-point advantage. If the focus of this weekend loses, then Inter Milan will give up the leading position.

After experiencing the first round of the UEFA Champions League round of 16, even Moratti has to admit that the possibility of reversing Liverpool's promotion is very low, but no matter how low it is, it will have to fight at home.

But if they lose to Naples on the weekend and are eliminated from the Champions League by Liverpool next Wednesday, will Inter Milan still hold this centenary celebration?

Mancini understood what Moratti meant, and he wanted to make some strong promises, but...

Inter Milan's players suffered a wave of injuries. The most important thing was continuous combat. Coupled with the age of the players, the injuries came too fiercely.

In fact, Mancini had been prepared for a long time, so he asked to introduce Maniche during the winter break.

"Mancho." Even at this time, Moratti's tone was very gentle, without the slightest bluntness, more like a discussion, even a little request.

He's a good guy, a very, very nice guy.

"You know, this celebration has a special meaning for us, representing our 100-year history. What I originally wanted was to let the team win another Champions League at the moment of this 100-year celebration. Now it seems ..."

Moratti couldn't speak anymore.

"I only have one request for you, beat Naples and keep the leader position, isn't it too much?"

Mancini was really upset.

Tani

How well Moratti treated him, he knew in his heart that under the current situation, not to mention his duty, even if Moratti opened his mouth, he would try his best to do it.

For this weekend's game, the St. Paul Stadium is definitely a dragon's den and a tiger's den.

That damn Chinese and his damn team have been waiting for two years!

They had come close to winning earlier at San Siro, but that draw made them stronger.

No one knew how long the Chinese had been preparing for this game, and no one knew how much that damn Southerners team had done for this game.

But this game must be very, very difficult to play!

If it was when Inter Milan was at its best, Mancini had the confidence to kill the opponent away, but now...

Mancini had to admit that he and the coaching staff were indeed too big.

As early as the beginning of the season, he already knew the arrangements for the team's centennial celebration, but he still felt that there was no problem in Serie A. Even after he won the top spot in the Champions League group, he didn't pay much attention to the top sixteen .

As a result, they are now pushed to a desperate situation by Naples and Liverpool, but at this time, the team has fallen into a trough of state and body, there has been a wave of injuries, and recently it has lost points and suffered setbacks.

Internal and external troubles, Mancini is also troubled both internally and externally, suffering unspeakably.

He wanted to make a strong promise and promise, but he couldn't say it.

In the end, he could only tell Moratti, "I promise, even if I can't win, I will lead the team to retreat and keep the leader position. If not, I will take the blame and resign!"

Mancini finally spoke loudly.

Moratti heard it.

Mancini dare not promise to beat Naples away, only dare to guarantee to get one point and keep the leader position.

This proves that he really has no confidence in his heart.

Is that Chinese really so powerful?

Is the Naples he trained really so tyrannical?

Moratti is not used to embarrassing others. After listening to Mancini's words, he patted Mancini's shoulder lightly, and said lightly, "I believe in you, Mancho!" Blanca and Oriali are gone.

Mancini stood where he was, but his heart was chilling.

He knew very well that he had let Moratti down.

After investing so much and bringing in so many strong supporters, in the end, even the centennial celebration may not be able to survive, and anyone who changes it will be disappointed.

Mancini knew in his heart that the next game was not just for three points, not just for Inter Milan's centennial celebration, not just for the Serie A championship, not just for Moratti and all Inter Milan fans ...

But also for his own handsome position!

…………

…………

When Mancini saw off Moratti and his team at the Pinetina base, a tactical preparation meeting for the whole team was ushered in Gaoshen in Fort Volturno.

He needs to unify everyone's thinking before the game.

In the past period of time, Gao Shen talked with all the players, whether they were the main players or the substitutes.

Now, he must further unify his thinking.

General Manager Marino was also appointed by De Laurentiis to come to Fort Volturno and attend the meeting as a nonvoting delegate.

"Before I start, I want all of you to be clear-headed."

Gao Shen stood on the podium, facing everyone in front of him, including the coaching staff, players and employees.

Everyone looked at him intently, and the audience was silent except for deep voices.

"That is for this weekend's game, we have only one goal for Naples." Gao Shen shouted vigorously.

"win!"

"I don't want a draw, I can't accept defeat, I want to win!" Gao Shen roared with all his strength.

He wants to use this method to let everyone feel his determination and his fighting spirit.

"I have waited for two years for today. Last season, we lost 0-3 at San Siro. That was the most humiliating match since my debut!"

"On that day, at the Meazza Stadium, I swore to myself that I must return the shame of zero to three at the Meazza Stadium to Inter Milan!"

"In the first game of this season, we were 2-2 away. We could have won, but all of this has passed. Now, the right time, place and people are all on our side in Naples. This weekend, we can only win, not lose! "

Gao Shen completely exposed his murderous intent!

Everyone at the scene felt the raging flames of war in their hearts!

He has suppressed it long enough!

He has endured long enough!

Now, the time has come, he doesn't want to bear it anymore, he wants to take his Naples, at the San Paolo Stadium, and kill Inter Milan!

Reversed and topped the list again!
