The Champions League battle against Chelsea has a great impact on Inter Milan.

After this game, Inter Milan players consumed severe physical fitness, and after the battle, their spirits suddenly relaxed. In addition, goalkeeper Toldo was old and old. Inter Milan performed poorly in the away game against Udinese on the weekend. In the end, they barely relied on the goals of Pandev and Gao Xiaodong to tie Wuji 2:2.

After this battle, the strong-willed Roma team quietly caught up. They were only 8 points away from Inter Milan, and the suspense of the league championship arose again.

However, in the scorer list, Gao Xiaodong scored 21 goals, leading second place Milito by 3 goals, continuing to expand his advantage.

After this game, the national team competition started. Although it was just a warm-up match, in order to prepare for the South African World Cup, major national teams were very serious. In order to get a chance to play in the summer World Cup, no one dared to miss it, let alone slacken.

In total, 13 international players from Inter Milan's first and second teams returned to China to participate in the competition. Gao Xiaodong, the most famous and most popular, is the only player in Inter Milan's main lineup who does not have a national team competition task.

Gao Xiaodong is still not a member of the national team. Of course, this is not that Gao Xiaodong is not strong enough. Now Gao Xiaodong is a star as famous as Park Ji-sung in Asia. He is still better than Park Ji-sung in terms of strength and popularity, but he just lacks a Champions League title than Park Ji-sung.

Gao Xiaodong was not selected for the national team mainly because the Chinese domestic football team is now carrying out a vigorous anti-counterfeiting and anti-gang campaign. The two chairman and two vice chairmen have been arrested. The former chairman has been investigated. More than a dozen senior officials of the Football Association, football bosses, several well-known referees, including the Chinese Golden Whistle Army, seven or eight international players, and all of them have been arrested. Even the national team head coach Gao Bo is under investigation. The Chinese football world is in a mess. No one in the Chinese team that has not reached the South African World Cup has organized a warm-up match.

It is good for Gao Xiaodong and Inter Milan to participate in the national team. Inter Milan is now in a tense match. Gao Xiaodong avoids the IA virus and maintains physical fitness. Inter Milan's mid-week league is guaranteed. Gao Xiaodong, who is popular and has a step-by-step rise in commercial value, does not need to go to the muddy waters of domestic football at this time, which is not a bad thing.

After returning from the national team, Inter Milan will immediately face the eighth place Genoa at home. In this game, Inter Milan was in no state. Gao Xiaodong alone could not support her. In the end, she was tied by Genoa 0:0.

This is also Inter Milan's first 0-0 score this season. Fortunately, Roma and Milan tied in this round, and Inter Milan was able to maintain an 8-point lead.

The team draws two consecutive times, although it is mixed between the Champions League and the national team matches, but it has a great impact on morale. Inter Milan's senior management and coaching staff are racking their brains to figure out how to play the league well and prepare for a life-and-death battle with Chelsea. At this time, Ba Shen, who had just been quiet for a few days, has caused trouble again.

It turned out that after being tied by Genoa, Balotelli, who was banned by Mourinho, actually sang Milan's team song during an interview with reporters, and cheered for Milan on his Twitter, which was fighting against Rome. However, Balotelli soon deleted the cheering words.

This was like a stone stirring up a thousand waves. Inter Milan fans accused Balotelli of the same, and Inter Milan players also believed that Balotelli's actions at this time were like betrayal.

On the eve of Chelsea's battle, Balotelli did such a thing. Inter Milan's chairman Moratti was very annoyed. He told reporters, "This (singing Milan team songs and cheering for Milan) is intolerable. Mario must return to the right track. It is dangerous for him to do this."

How to get back on track? How to avoid danger? In fact, Moratti hopes that Balotelli can apologize and correct his attitude. Moratti still attaches great importance to Balotelli and Thornton, hoping to give Balotelli a chance to remedy it.

But at the critical moment of the team's sprint, Balotelli did this, and Mourinho's attitude was very harsh. He said: "If Balotelli cannot make fundamental changes, Inter Milan will not have his place anymore."

Seeing that the matter was a bit big, Balotelli's brother and agent Corrado explained: This was the reporter misled Bassin's team song again. As for cheering Milan on Twitter, it was because Milan had fewer points than Rome, and Balotelli actually cheered Inter Milan on the side.

However, Corrado's words were not too convincing, nor could they get forgiven by fans and Mourinho. On the forum, some racist Inter Milan fans began to attack Balotelli crazy, believing that Balotelli was a black sheep, a rotten apple, and a rat shit. Inter Milan has no shortage of people on the front line now, and Mourinho should immediately throw Balotelli into the reserve team.

When Balotelli was about to change agents, Gao Xiaodong and his team were preparing to get Balotelli to their own agency. However, after this incident, Gao Xiaodong and others also retreated. It is definitely not easy to wipe the butt of a brainless man like Balotelli. Not to mention their influence and power, even Raiola and Mendes would probably be useless. Who knows what kind of thing Balotelli can do later?

Moratti does not want such a situation to happen. In his mind, Balotelli and Thornton are the future of Inter Milan and Mourinho is the present of Inter Milan. He still hopes that Balotelli can continue to play for the team, especially in the sprint stage of the season. So Moratti and technical manager Blanca personally mediated between Balotelli and Mourinho, but in the face of the two protagonists who are extremely stubborn in their temper, Moratti's mediation did not play a role.

In the weekend's match against Catania, Mourinho still excluded Balotelli from the 18-man roster. This game was the last game before the life-and-death battle with Chelsea in the middle of the week. Inter Milan has been unable to win recently, and there is still a lot of off-court news. He has to keep his strength for the mid-week Champions League. The game was very bad, and the final result was a 1-1 draw for Catania.

With three consecutive draws in the league, Inter Milan was in a state of worry. After the game, Mourinho personally admitted that the best team did not win the game and Catania should score three points, but Mourinho said that Inter Milan must not perform like the league in the Champions League, otherwise Inter Milan might waste Gao Xiaodong's efforts in the first leg.

Compared with Inter Milan, Chelsea has been in much better form in the last three games. Although Chelsea did not recover after returning to the league after the Champions League match Inter Milan, and lost to Manchester City 2:4. But then Chelsea swept Portsmouth 5:0 and hit the Axe to help West Ham United 4:1, with a very scary attack.

However, what makes Chelsea people a headache is that their substitute left-back Jirkov is back, but substitute goalkeeper Hilario is injured again. In the battle with Inter Milan, Chelsea can only send their third goalkeeper, 24-year-old Turnbull.
