Chapter 587

From the morning, Milan City has become a football city.

Inter Milan fans wearing blue and black jerseys and Chelsea fans wearing blue jerseys are everywhere on the streets.

The bar and shop are equipped with Inter Milan's team flags and banners supporting Inter Milan's victory, and the songs of Inter Milan are placed. Even the homeless people on the street have adapted songs praising Inter Milan to attract the attention of fans.

The radical Inter Milan met with English football hooligans, which was a headache for the Milan police. On the day of the game, the Milan police increased their vigilance and the fans could see Mounted Police appearing from time to time.

After all, there are a few fans who come to watch the game live, and more fans watch the live broadcast of the Champions League knockout match on TV and the Internet.

According to incomplete statistics, more than 200 million fans around the world will watch the live broadcast of the Champions League knockout match through TV and the Internet. In addition, 40 TV stations will broadcast live and interview 300 reporters from all over the world.

In the morning, Gao Xiaodong posted a message on his Twitter and Weibo, "No one can stop us from moving forward." This news was retweeted 100,000 times and more than 50,000 comments within an hour.

In the afternoon, Inter Milan held its last training session at the Pinetina training base, but Mourinho did not disclose it to the fans as usual, which made Inter Milan fans who came from afar very dissatisfied. Many people accused Mourinho of being mysterious and inhumane on the forum, and some even cursed Mourinho.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Meacha Stadium opened for ticket checks and allowed fans to enter.

An hour later, Inter Milan's bus drove from Pinetina into the Meazza Stadium.

When they came out of the bus, the players looked very serious. No one spoke, and they hurried to the locker room with their equipment bags on their backs.

Inter Milan's big-name stars are over 29 years old and have experienced countless battles, but apart from Etoo, these have one common feature: they are all losers in the Champions League.

Especially the old players of Inter Milan, who have never won a Champions League knockout in four years, have never won a Premier League team in the Champions League in seven years, and are now facing the challenge of Chelsea, the toughest European style of play, everyone feels nervous and fearful.

Entering the locker room, Etoo seemed to feel the atmosphere was too tense and depressed, and said, "Let's guess who scores first?"

It was very awkward, no one responded, and everyone changed their jerseys and sneakers with their heads in their hands.

Mourinho said: "Don't be nervous, we have done everything we should do, no surprises, victory will belong to us."

There was still no one in the locker room.

Mourinho said: "Don't be afraid of those dead data. Records are always used to break. I have been in the Premier League for three years and beat all Premier League teams, except Chelsea. Because it is my team, I know Chelsea's strength better than anyone else, but I know its weaknesses better than anyone else. If you do what I deploy, we can get three points from Chelsea."

Mourinho's words played a little role, and Inter Milan players' expressions relaxed a little, but they lost their main goalkeeper Cesar before the game. This bad omen made Inter Milan players still not confident at all.

Mourinho understood the players' thoughts. He patted Tordo on the shoulder and said: "Tordo has been in good shape recently. For Juventus and Fiorentina, he is our most reliable last line of defense. How terrible he is when he gets crazy, I think the Dutch players know the best."

A smile appeared on Sneider's face and said, "I didn't have a chance to participate in that game, but I heard from my seniors that Toldo defeated us in that game."

Tordo knew what he should do at this time, and he said confidently: "Yes, so don't think Tordo will become a burden to you. Just leave your back to me, and I will guard the door for you."

Mourinho continued: "Etoo, I think you should have experience playing in Premier League teams, tell me about it."

Etoo said relaxedly: "Don't be afraid of them. I think Inter Milan can play against any team. The Premier League team is very rough in skills and tactics. If you block their impact, you can break through their defense with patience in the frontcourt."

Mourinho patted Gao Xiaodong on the shoulder again and said: "Chelsea's biggest weakness is their left back. Their main left back and substitute left back were injured. Beletti is not only old, but also in a very poor state. I believe Ancelotti will not let him go. The only possibility is Maluda. Whether it is Maluda or not, the left back is their Achilles heel. Gao Xiaodong, today you play the right winger, the task is to break through the opponent's left side, assist or score, and whether you can win or not, your role is crucial."

Gao Xiaodong clenched his fists and said, "Don't worry, coach, I will definitely beat Chelsea's left-back to doubt my life."

If everyone listened to the high point, they would definitely laugh out loud, but now no one can laugh at the enemy.

Mourinho looked at Sneijder again and said: "Xiao Dong wants to attack the opponent's left back on the right, and the task of organizing and dispatching in the midfield will be left to you. Can we win the game? Your role is as important as Xiao Dong."

"The mission must be completed!"

Sneijder was very excited. He has been joining Inter Milan for almost a month. He only performed in the Italian Cup and played a mess in the league. Now, he has finally waited for the opportunity he has always dreamed of. Whether he can get on the position smoothly depends on the match against Chelsea today.

Although Mourinho knew Chelsea and had prepared enough before, Inter Milan's Champions League record was too bad and had a psychological shadow. He had to give each player some instructions and encouragement before he began to reiterate the skills and tactics of today's game.

While Mourinho was teaching the players, Chelsea coaches and players also took a bus to Meazza Stadium. Their locker room is Ancelotti's most familiar dressing room in Milan.

Standing in the familiar speech position, Ancelotti, who was slightly paralyzed, seemed to have returned home and showed a relaxed smile. He stroked the red and black seats, "I have played 18 games with Inter Milan here, and I have only lost 5 of them. In the Champions League, I have never lost to Inter Milan. I hope this locker room will bring us good luck."

Chelsea players are also very relaxed. They rank first in the league and are likely to win back the league championship that has been lost for three years from Manchester United. The Champions League encounters the Champions League soft-legged crab, and has never won the Premier League team Inter Milan. As long as they do not lose in this game, it is best to get a away goal, and then it will be almost certain to advance.

Drogba reminded: "Mr. Mourinho is not an easy person to deal with."

Ancelotti smiled slightly and said, "I know Inter Milan too much. They lack the temperament of a strong team and have no Champions League tradition. In just one and a half years, Mourinho can change their technical and tactical styles, but change Inter Milan's temperament and traditions. Don't worry, as long as we don't lose in this game, they will definitely collapse when they return to Stamford Bridge."

Terry, the protagonist of the Iron Blood Captain and the protagonist of the thief's wife, said: "Mr. Mourinho's counterattack is very good. Is it a bit of a risk to send three forwards?"

Ancelotti said proudly: "When it comes to defensive counterattacks, no one does better than Italy. This is a away game. What we need is goals. Believe me, as long as we score the goal first, they will panic. When we score two goals, they will collapse."
