Chapter 255 The Glory Road War of Words

Before the start of the Italian derby, Inter Milan lost a game that they should not have lost. They still lost the game with 70.00% possession time. If so many shots in the first half can score one, If Pei Wei hadn't been sent off unjustly, with the state of Inter Milan in this game, there is a great possibility that they will turn defeat into victory.

It is foolish to regret what has happened. The Inter Milan club did not worry too much about the loss of this game. Instead, the focus of the next work is to appeal to the referee committee and revoke Pei Wei's red card. requirements.

The final result disappointed Inter Milan and Pei Wei. The referee De Santis mentioned in the report after the game that Pei Wei had spat on the ground before leaving the field. He insisted that Pei Wei was in the game. To vent his dissatisfaction with the referee, he applied for an additional two-game suspension for Pei Wei.

After the referee committee's research, they announced that because Inter Milan's No. [-] player Pei Wei had insulted the referee when he was sent off, he was fined two games and suspended. The red card will not be cancelled. A total of three games were suspended. A fine of two thousand euros.

The Inter Milan club filed an appeal immediately. They pointed out that Pei Wei's foul was completely unintentional, and the red card itself was inappropriate, and Pei Wei's saliva was spit on the ground after he was off the field. In terms of people, it is inappropriate to make such a reckless judgment that Pei Wei insulted the referee.

Although the club moved quickly, it was obviously too late. The No.20 match against Juventus in the fifth round was only four days away from the match against Fiorentina. What is the result? Pei Wei's absence from the game against Juventus is already a certainty, and this red card, as Pei Wei's first and only red card in his career, is bound to go down in history.

Before the start of the game, captain Zanetti on behalf of the team warned Paparesta to be careful in the enforcement of Inter Milan and Juventus. In recent rounds of Serie A, there have been many referee misjudgments. Del Piero scored a 20cm offside goal in the game, and against Parma, they won another penalty that shouldn't have been. With Wei's inexplicable red card, Juventus opened up Inter Milan by nine points.

"I hope nothing strange will happen," Zanetti said in the afternoon. "The fans are waiting for a great and good game, but first they need a victory. Controversy is part of the game, but it is Strange, in the past, a lot of things can happen between Inter and Juventus, but in the end it's always us."

Zanetti's words were right, Inter Milan without Pei Wei still showed a very high fighting spirit and technical level. In the first half, Adriano even used a free kick to score a goal, but the referee ruled that it was An indirect free kick and the goal was invalid. Shortly after the start of the second half, Figo, who was Inter Milan's best performer, was stared at by Chiellini's sole on his right calf and fell to the ground in pain. He went to the sidelines for treatment. His calf was scratched Bloodstains, but the referee only showed a yellow card.

Juventus took the lead in the 62nd minute when Ibrahimovic hit the net after receiving a pass from Camoranesi, but Inter stubbornly equalized 10 minutes later and Samuel took the charge. Go's corner beat Vieira's header to equalize the score.

At this time, another controversial scene appeared on the court. Cordoba steals Nedved's ball beautifully from behind, but the referee calls Cordoba for a foul, which also arouses strong dissatisfaction among Inter Milan players. , And taking advantage of this opportunity, Del Piero, who was replaced in the second half, scored a beautiful free kick to overtake the score.

Inter Milan, which fell behind again, launched a fierce offensive in the little time left. Unfortunately, Recoba's free kick was blocked by the goal post. The final whistle sounded, and Inter Milan lost to Juventus at home. After losing two games in a row, Juventus extended the points to 2 points, and the No.[-] position was also taken away by AC Milan with a one-point advantage.

After the game, Mancini kept protesting to the referee, and angrily cursed Juventus general manager Moggi in the player tunnel. He also paid the price for the next game against Lilwo. Can only sit in the stands.

The coach was angry, and the players were also angry. After the game, Stankovic picked up a chair and smashed the door of the referee's lounge. Figo asked Moggi: "What did you do in the referee's lounge before the game started?" Ji Ze immediately countered: "Figo is a player who has signed too many contracts in his career. I just went to the referee lounge after the game. As a club leader, I greeted the referees according to the usual etiquette."

The war of words between the two clubs became more and more intense. Moratti said: "Who else can be taken care of more than Juventus?" Moggi shot back: "Don't try to use this method to influence the referee. Endless." Facchetti was furious: "If Moggi wants to talk about the refereeing problem, well, I have a file here, and I am willing to open it in front of him and check it out." There are 17 opponents of Juventus this season Penalties were not awarded, Juventus had 16 fouls that should have been given a red card, two penalties should not have been given, and there were three small actions that should be punished with TV replays. The chairman of Inter Milan can remember everything.

In the midst of the chaotic war of words, one piece of news was drowned out. Inter Milan's No. 11 defender and famous free-kick specialist Mihajnovic announced that he will announce his retirement after the end of this season. Inter Milan's coaching staff became Mancini's assistant.

This season is the No. 19 year of the old Miha in Serie A, but due to injuries, he has not appeared on the court for a long time. The figure who performed a free kick hat-trick in a game has left us It's getting farther and farther away.

Against Lirvo, Mancini and Pei Wei sat in the stands, accompanied by Cambiasso and Samuel, both of whom were unable to play due to accumulating yellow cards. After the on-site command of the main force and the head coach, Inter Milan was tied 0:0 by Livorno in the away game. Due to the unexpected 2:2 tie between Juventus and Messina, Inter Milan is still 12 points away from the top of the list. At the same time, it was also three points away from AC Milan, which won this round.

Inter Milan, who suffered a heavy setback in the league, was hit again in the Champions League quarter-finals three days later. In the away game against Ajax, Mancini sent the Brazilian winger who had just transferred in the winter. Sarr played as a left midfielder and let Pei Wei and Cambiasso play in the middle, but this formation showed the shortcomings of Inter Milan's lack of defense in the midfield. In the first half, Ajax's center Huntelaar and The winger Rosales scored a goal each, leading Inter Milan into the second half with two goals.

During the intermission, Mancini decisively replaced the mediocre Cesar with Pizarro. Pei Wei stepped forward, and Pizarro organized behind him. This substitution immediately had an immediate impact. Only 3 minutes into the second half, Figo made a cross from the right, Cruise stopped the ball to Pei Wei in front of the penalty area, Pei Wei and Cambiasso made a two-for-one cooperation, then broke into the penalty area and volleyed with his left foot , the ball flew into the upper left corner of the gate after encountering two Ajax defenders, 1 to 2.

Mancini used Martins to replace Alder, who had no performance, and Inter Milan's offense began to appear smooth, while Ajax's inexperienced shortcomings were exposed. Under Inter Milan's sophisticated scheduling, their physical strength gradually No support.

In the 84th minute, Figo shifted to the left and poked the ball between the two guards to the left side of the small penalty area. After receiving the ball, Pei Wei immediately passed it to the goal. Cruise, who followed, easily pushed the ball forward. empty door.

2:2, Inter Milan achieved a difficult draw in the away game. This score is very favorable for them in the second round of home games.

On February 2th, Inter Milan finally ushered in a victory after three games without a major general. They defeated Udinese 26:3 at home. Hu Yong was unable to play because of accumulating three yellow cards. He and Pei Wei When the two suffering brothers met in the stands, they smiled wryly.

"It seems that the two of us have no chance to meet on the court." Pei Wei said with a wry smile: "Although I have been in Serie A for two years, I have never competed with you in a game."

"Yeah, I always didn't meet each other for one reason or another, but I think we should be able to have a good fight on March 3." Hu Yong said with a smile.

Of course Pei Wei knew what date was March 3nd. It was the first leg of the Coppa Italia semi-final, and Inter Milan's opponent was Udinese.

"Not necessarily..." Pei Wei shook his head: "We will have a league game after that game, and if we eliminate Ajax, we will have a Champions League quarter-final... The coach will definitely Send a substitute to compete."

Hu Yong thought for a while and said dejectedly: "Yes... At that time, it was also a critical moment for our relegation. The coach will definitely send some substitutes. Alas, it is really a pity."

Pei Wei smiled: "No regrets, it would be too unfair to you if we met now, because...my teammates are much stronger than yours, and I don't want to defeat you under such circumstances. "

Hu Yong is speechless. What Pei Wei said is absolutely reasonable. Udinese and Inter Milan are not at the same level this season. Hu Yong really has no chance of winning against Pei Wei under such circumstances.

On the field, Cruz made up for Martins' shot and scored twice, giving Inter Milan a 2-0 lead.

"We are going to win this game." Pei Wei said with a smile, while Hu Yong pursed his mouth full of displeasure.

"You should transfer to a strong team." Pei Wei said: "It's not a problem to stay in Udinese all the time. They can't keep good players, just like last year. If your midfield partners If you are still alive, I don’t think you will be reduced to this level today, right? Talk to Uncle Liu and let him help you run it. It’s best to come to our Inter Milan. Anyway, Veron will leave next year. At that time, you will definitely be the main force, and we two brothers will compete for the championship cup, haha!"

Hu Yong is really tempted. He has been in Serie A for five years, and he hasn't even won a decent honor. It's not because of his own strength, but because the strength of his team is too poor.

"Let's talk about it later." The two chatted, and the game ended quickly. Martins scored another goal in the second half, and Udinese only pulled a point back from Iaquinta at the end of the game. , Inter Milan finally got out of the shadow of three rounds of invincibility.

In the next round, Inter Milan's opponent is Rome, which has been in excellent form recently and has won 1 consecutive victories. This game is also the last game of Pei Wei's suspension. The shot snatched a point away from Roma, while in the other two games, Juventus and AC Milan both won against their respective opponents, leading Inter Milan by 14 points and 5 points respectively.

There are only ten rounds left in the league, and Inter Milan's hope of winning the league championship is already very slim. For them, it seems more practical to focus on the Champions League and Coppa Italia.

In the second round of the Champions League, due to the fan riots in the first Champions League match against AC Milan last season, fans were not allowed to enter the stadium for three games at home in the Champions League of Inter Milan. It was the first time that the game was played amidst the cheers of the home fans. Inter Milan did not disappoint the fans. Relying on the goals of Pei Wei and Stankovic, they defeated Ajax 2:0 and successfully entered the Champions League. Quarterfinals.

In the 31st round of Serie A, Inter Milan defeated Sampdoria 1-0 at home. Pei Wei, whose suspension expired, became the main force again. It was his assist that helped Adriano score the only goal, but Manci Ni is more concerned about another game that will be played later, the highlight of this round, Juventus' home game against AC Milan.

In his heart, Mancini hopes that Juventus can win, because the opponents behind Juventus are only Roma, Fiorentina and Lazio who are relatively strong, and the others are like Livorno, Cagliari, and Treviso. Weak teams, with Juventus' stability, they can't make mistakes, not to mention that there are Juventus second teams like Siena, it is too difficult to catch up with them, and if AC Milan loses, then Inter Milan and them Only 2 points away, there is still hope for the second place in the league.

The final result disappointed Mancini. The two sides fought 0:0. Juventus still leads the Milan duo by 12 points and 9 points. With only nine rounds left in the league, it has almost secured the league championship. The gap between Milan and AC Milan is still 3 points.
