Chapter 424 Fire Dragon Stadium (big chapter)
The fans are excited. They feel very European and satisfied to be able to equalize the score at the last minute. In the hearts of the fans, they also tied Manchester United 2:2 at home. Didn't they also advance?Porto is weaker than Manchester United, so it is no problem to advance.

The media is rational. The home draw and two away goals were conceded. It seems that the scene is the same as the previous game, but it is actually quite different.

Manchester United is a giant that will never park a bus at home, but Porto is definitely different, holding two away goals?Still fighting?Head watts?

Can Inter Milan win at the Fire Dragon Stadium under Porto's strict defense?That's the notoriously difficult devil's home court.

Under the description and analysis of many media, sad emotions spread in the city of Milan.

Milano Vogue, a non-sports newspaper, published an open letter from Inter Milan's wives group "Forward!"Not afraid of difficulties!Inter Milan, our eternal love. "

In the letter, the Chinese Mi wives expressed their love for their husbands and boyfriends, their love for Inter Milan, and expressed their never-ending feelings. They believed that the great Inter Milan would definitely overcome the ugly defensive football and continue to move forward.

As for why such a sports statement is not published in the sports newspaper, it is not for outsiders, and Ibrahimovic's new girlfriend is a reporter for the newspaper.

In Europe, football is traffic and topic.

In order to support their husbands and support Inter Milan, the wives went to Portugal, which inspired many Inter Milan fans to watch away games.

However, things are not simple. Porto is only willing to provide 1 tickets. Under normal circumstances, 20.00% of the tickets are enough, but they were encouraged by the wives and Inter Milan’s record this season is really good. Milan City is relatively rich The place, the tickets are at least five or six thousand short...

Before the game started, the two clubs had a war of words over the ticketing issue. In fact, if you think about it calmly, you can’t blame Porto. How could the visiting team’s fans flood the home team’s stadium in a life-and-death battle? They would rather let him sit empty than sell it to Inter Milan. people.

Factors outside the field affect the field. Inter Milan still needs to play a Serie A game before the expedition to Portugal.

On April 2009, 4, in the 11st round of Serie A, Inter Milan played against Palermo at home.

This is a game that uses the strong to bully the weak to reduce dimensionality, but Inter Milan only performed a half-time strike.

Balotelli and Ibrahimovic each scored a goal in the first half. Inter Milan led 2:0. In the second half, the situation changed suddenly. Edinson Cavani, who was still bald and had no long hair, blew the horn of counterattack. The visiting team scored a goal, and then his teammate Beato scored another goal, and the two teams finally tied 2:2.

The people in Inter Milan and the media did not know that the short-haired Cavani, who was only three years older than Xia Qi, grew his hair long after he transferred to the Naples team, and started his career as a striker.

At the moment, Inter Milan and the media are interested in caring about the rookies who are still young. They are all worried about the leaky defense.

The teams in the relegation zone can score two goals in a row. Can this paper-backed defense stand the test of the fire dragon?
Inter Milan, whose defense is still full of wounded soldiers, arrived in the northern Portuguese city of Porto two days in advance with a sense of tragedy and no hesitation.

This beautiful seaside city is a famous wine capital, and the famous wave wine is produced here.

What is as famous as wave wine is not the football we are familiar with, but the mass and baptism of the church. Many people come here from far away to baptize their children.

Porto Cathedral is the birthplace of Christianity in the entire north of Portugal and the center of church activities.Almost all Europeans believe in religion, so the influence of the church is wider than football in Europe.

Of course, during the UEFA Champions League, football is still the topic of discussion on the streets and on the TV media. After all, football has been integrated into the blood of Europeans.

"We drew 2:2 in the away game and got two away goals. Our hope of advancing to the semi-finals is a little bit bigger."

"Of course I like attacking football, but in order to eliminate Inter Milan, I don't mind Mr. Pereira playing ugly football."

Topics like this are also quietly affecting the Inter Milan generals. They must first guarantee that Porto will not score goals at the Fire Dragon Stadium, and then score goals... This seems not difficult, but it seems difficult, which makes it difficult for the Inter Milan generals all night sleep…

Portugal's domestic reports on the Champions League are unanimously optimistic about the Porto team, and the Porto team is also full of confidence in advancing to the semi-finals.

In an interview with reporters, Porto's core player Lu Qiao said: "Inter Milan is indeed very strong, but we scored two away goals, which made us extremely active."

"Will you play conservative football at home?"

"What kind of tactics to play is the head coach's business, but what I want to say is, if you can qualify, why not?"

Compared with the confident Porto people, Inter Milan will be locked in a small dark room by Mourinho.

"Let's not train first, let's watch the game video first, let's analyze it together, the last game against Porto."

Mourinho didn't mention Thursday's game against Porto at all. Only by letting the players familiarize themselves with their opponents can they arrange new tactics.

On the evening of the next day, Inter Milan applied to Porto to go to the Fire Dragon Stadium to adapt to the field training.

Why choose night?Because tomorrow's game time is eight o'clock in the evening.

In order for the players to have the feeling of the game, all warm-up training is also arranged in the evening, which is conducive to regulating the players' body memory, and can adjust the best physical functions to burst out during the game time.

In the Huolong stadium with shadowless lights on, I encountered a lot of media, most of them were Italian media. Inter Milan is now the only seedling in the European competition, and it is especially favored by Italian media.

What makes Xia Qi happy is that three or four Chinese media are applying to interview Xia Qi.

However, there is nothing new in the interviews of these people, just those few questions repeated over and over again.

"I conceded two goals at home, and it will be difficult to play away. What countermeasures do you have?"

Xia Qi murmured in his heart, if there is a countermeasure, he can't say it at this time, otherwise he will be an enemy.What's more, Mourinho routinely announces his main force and tactics before the game. To be honest, he doesn't know what Mourinho sells in his gourd. He only knows that he will definitely play.

"Do you have the confidence to advance?"

Such an idiotic question must have been asked by the domestic media, and the answer must be "yes", who would answer "no"?Pure waste of opportunity to ask questions.

"What is the team's personnel structure?" This must be a question from a senior reporter. He is not only asking about Inter Milan's defense, but also testing Inter Milan's preparations for several forwards, thus inferring Mourinho's tactics.

"Mr. Mourinho, is tomorrow's tactic offensive?"

Mourinho thought for a while and felt that there was no need to hide anything, and he was eliminated if he didn't attack.He replied: "Yes."

"We press out to attack, what about the defense? Wouldn't it be in the hands of the Portuguese?"

Attacking will definitely cause problems for one's own defense, not to mention that Inter Milan's defense personnel are not complete, but does Inter Milan have a choice?
Mourinho smiled bitterly and said: "We only need to score one more than our opponent."

At the end of the interview, the Inter Milan team took the bus back to the hotel. There was no nightlife, and all players were asked to go to bed.

"Good night, Xia Qi, I'm sure you can happily go shopping with your girlfriend tomorrow night, right?"

"Of course Zlatan, no one can interrupt your date."

"So you're going to pass the ball to me, right?"

"That's a must."

"And me, Xia," Balotelli called from the door of another room.

"Got it! Go to sleep! Good night, Mario."

Tomorrow night's match is not the final, and the atmosphere of the whole team is a little strange and uneasy, which is why there will be the above "nonsense" conversations.

When eating breakfast the next day, the atmosphere was even more dull.

It would be a lie to say that there is no pressure, that there is no pre-match anxiety.

"This is unbearable!" Balotelli jumped on the chair and said to everyone: "Hey, buddy, this is not the last breakfast, be happy, OK?"

"Let's talk about women, talk about music, talk about life..."

After being disturbed by him, the atmosphere of the restaurant, which was still dull just now, became much more lively.

After breakfast, rest for a while, the team will arrange strength and endurance training, but the intensity is not high, mainly to prevent the players from cooling down.

After the lunch break, eat dinner early and leave on time at [-] pm.

"Let's kick the Portuguese's ass!" Balotelli started to liven up the atmosphere on the bus.

"Hey! Heitan! Can you kick the Porto man's ass instead?" Figo protested, causing everyone to laugh.

Quaresma pushed Balotelli to the seat, punched him lightly, and said with a smile, "Boss, I taught him a lesson for you."

---
The afterglow of the sun sets from the seaside, and the night is coming. When the street lamps on the street are lit one by one, you can see the whole city from a high altitude.

The goddess of victory seemed to feel the enthusiasm of the Porto people, and also the melancholy of the Inter Milan people. The sky was cloudy and drizzled.

Many Porto fans excitedly threw away their rain gear and shouted to the sky: "Even God is helping us."

The rain fight is even more unfavorable to the offensive side. The muddy lawn can't play Tiki-Taka. In this case, the defensive side has an advantage.

There are many details in European football that China can learn from. The Porto club distributes one-time ponchos and warm stickers to fans at the entrance for free. The money is not much but it is heart-warming.

Even God is helping, what else can stop Porto from advancing?
The Porto fans sang songs early, led the ponchos, put warm babies on their stomachs and thighs, and lined up in an orderly manner to enter the stadium slowly.

Gossip, fans of the visiting team don’t have free rain capes and warm collars, they need to go to the store at the stadium to buy them. European football clubs have distinct loves and dislikes. If everyone in China spends the same money but can’t enjoy the same service, it’s sure. There will be trouble.

Reasonable?On the high-speed rail, there are very "reasonable" domineering men who snatch other people's seats. Can reasoning make sense?Is the ticket price for the visiting team one point less?
No gossip, let's go back to the Fire Dragon Stadium.

When Ibrahimovic was warming up, a long shot slipped and fell.

When he got up again, his buttocks and arms were covered with mud, and he looked at Xia Qi anxiously.

"In a while, we will put on the studs. It is not easy for us to play in the rain, but they are not easy to defend, especially the goalkeeper will drop the ball. Zlatan, you have a sniff like a dog, right?"

Xia Qi knew why Ibrahimovic was uneasy, and comforted him.

Using a dog as a metaphor in Europe is not a curse. Ibrahimovic thinks about it too. Although the offensive side will suffer a little bit more, the defensive side will also be affected.

Rain battle, the rest are affected.

Assistant coach Franco shouted to every player who was warming up on the field at the tunnel entrance: "Hurry up and trot to the locker room, be careful not to catch a cold."

Xia Qi glanced at the visiting team stand when he was running back. Those fans wearing blue and black jerseys were all standing and singing to cheer for the visiting team, but they seemed so small in front of more than 4 home team fans. Xia Qi Standing far away but still feel their enthusiasm.

Then he looked at the VIP room of the home team. The tickets for Inter Milan's wives were presented by the chairman of Porto. They were not in the second-floor box of the away team stand, but in the home team stand with Chairman Moratti.

The chairman of Porto generously gave Inter Milan two large private rooms that can accommodate ten people.

Of course Xia Qi couldn't see anything, but he knew that Li Xin could definitely see him, so he waved to the home team stands, and was booed by the home fans as a provocation.

Back in the locker room, Xia Qi and his teammates took off their clothes, wiped off the water stains on their bodies, and changed into their competition uniforms.With the help of an assistant coach, replace the short studs on your sneakers with longer studs designed for slippery and muddy surfaces.

Last Mourinho pre-match mobilization

"Many people thought that we would lose. They thought that the Porto people had a big advantage, didn't they just score two away goals? In fact, we only need 1:0 to make them cry from laughing.

I won't say much about the importance of this game. If we lose, we can only make a comeback next season, but why do we have to do it again next season?
1:0, is it difficult, gentlemen?
I don't care what Porto's tactics are, we can only attack and only attack to score. We need a goal, or we need to score one more goal than our opponent.

Children, if you work hard tonight, you will find that there is no hurdle in the world that you cannot overcome. Don't let Ibrahimovic's goal in the last game be in vain. "

After Mourinho finished speaking, he looked around and clapped his palms: "Go to fight! Just like Mario said, go kick the ass of the Porto people."

"Yes, Mr. Manager, I like their asses. How about you? Xia." Balotelli screamed loudly.Mourinho is using his "famous quotes", how wise he is, who else would say that his head is not smart?
"I'm different from you, I like women's butts." Xia Qi thought about Balotelli's aesthetics and added: "Beauty's butt."

A group of wolf friends in the locker room howled: "We are too." Then they quickly distanced themselves from Balotelli.

Balotelli looked at Mourinho aggrievedly, and Mourinho was startled: "I'm the same as Xia Qi..."

The audience burst into laughter...

... During the fight, the uneasiness disappeared, and the Inter Milan people are ready...

Mourinho is mobilizing, and Pereira of the home team is also encouraging the players.

"90 minutes, we stick to 90 minutes, we are the winners. This game, I need your concentration.

In the rain, Inter Milan's dribbling and ball control will be affected. Their pass control will be as simple as possible, but the slippery ball and muddy lawn will increase their mistakes. This is our opportunity.

Also, this is our home court, the referee's penalty will be a little looser, we can use some foul methods appropriately but don't ask for a red card, we can't lose one person.

It will also make our defense difficult in the rain, and one less person will be a fatal weakness.

Remember, Warriors, first make sure we don't lose the ball, and then consider offense. The defense must be decisive when playing the ball. Don't let the opponent stay in our penalty area, pay attention to their long shots, and actively grab the ball for the second place.

understand?Warriors! "

The two sides led the caddies out of the tunnel, and the fans burst into cheers like a tsunami, and the drizzle could not quench their enthusiasm.

The two sides guessed coins, picked sides, shook hands, and took photos.

"Let's attack first," Xia Qi said to Ibrahimovic, Balotelli and Stankovic: "How about giving them a little surprise?"

"I like it, Xiaqi." Balotelli stared at the opponent's goal and said, "I will kick their goal like a butt."

"Beep!" The referee blew the opening whistle.
