Chapter 175 Red Devils Manchester United
After the Milan Derby, the chairman Moratti, who came to watch the game, also came to the locker room with an unconcealable joy after the game.

Mr. Chairman said to the players of Inter Milan that the team has successfully qualified for the group stage in the Champions League and is also ranked first in the league. The situation is very good, but we must not relax.

Hearing the chairman talking about bonuses, all the players of the Nerazzurri beamed with joy, but why did they mention these, because just next week, nine days later, Inter Milan will usher in the first round of the UEFA Champions League knockout round.

Home game against the Premier League overlord, last season's Premier League champion, Champions League double crown, the Red Devils Manchester United led by Sir Alex Ferguson.

So Moratti was a little uneasy, and took advantage of the momentum of the Milan Derby to come to cheer for the players. At the same time, he did not forget to mention the bonuses. Money rewards are actually the most motivating players.

The chairman of Inter Milan wholeheartedly hopes that Inter Milan can achieve a breakthrough in the Champions League in his own hands. This is why Moratti invited Mourinho. Now everything seems to be developing in the direction he expected. It depends on whether he can pass the test of Manchester United.

In the subsequent daily training, many players who were not usually so serious changed their usual training attitudes, as if they had changed their personalities. Even Bashen felt the tense atmosphere in the team. The silly boy quietly asked Zhu Hantao, "What's going on? Why is everyone different from usual?"

"Don't worry about it, just train hard."

After the training, Zhu Hantao did a long time of mental construction, and decided to talk to the head coach Mourinho. He definitely wants to play in the game against Manchester United. If not, he can accept the substitute for the league game against Bologna on the weekend.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Hantao had just knocked on the door of the head coach's office and entered. Mourinho looked up and saw that it was Zhu Hantao, and said calmly, "What's the matter?"

Alas, Zhu Hantao was a little flustered by the head coach's attitude, but he still expressed his thoughts, "Boss, I want to play in the Champions League match against Manchester United. Can you stop me from playing in the Champions League as before?"

After a pause, seeing that Mourinho did not answer, Zhu Hantao went on to say, "If the coach is worried about my physical fitness, then in the league this weekend, I can let other teammates play to show off, and also give Mario and Cruise some opportunities to play."

"Do you think you can express your opinion on the team's tactical arrangement now?" Mourinho said with a cold face, Zhu Hantao was a little confused, no, it wouldn't make the head coach angry, shouldn't he come, but I really want to play in the Champions League.

Seeing Zhu Hantao flustered and not knowing how to answer, Mourinho let out a chuckle, "Okay, I won't tease you anymore, I really don't, don't worry, I will let you play against Manchester United if you don't tell me, this is different from the previous group stage."

"Oh!?" Zhu Hantao finally realized that he had been tricked by Mourinho, so he was worried for nothing. Besides, he had never been tricked by the head coach before, and he fell for him again. "The boss... I'm going to leave now if I don't have anything to do."

"Don't leave in a hurry, wait for the coaching staff to have a meeting, do you want to join us to discuss the arrangements for the next game?" Mourinho said to Zhu Hantao with a half-smile.

"What? I can't hear you, take your leave!" Zhu Hantao hurriedly turned around and left, closing the office door for him.

Before I went far, I heard the loud laughter of "Hahahaha!" coming from the room.

At 2009:2 pm on February 21, 20, the first match of the fifth round of Italian Football League No.[-], Inter Milan's away game started on time.

Blessed are the domestic audiences, eleven o'clock is already a very acceptable game time for them, at least they can sleep soundly until the next morning after watching the game.

Despite the upcoming fierce battles with Manchester United and Roma, Mourinho basically played the main force. Stankovic got a rest, Muntari switched to attacking midfielder, Maxwell was left on the left, and Cordoba replaced the suspended Chivu.

Central defender Samuel, who was about to represent Inter Milan for the 100th time, accidentally injured his left calf during the warm-up before the game. He had to let Rivas temporarily fill in the vacancy. Mancini, who had not been included in the squad for several consecutive games, took over as a substitute.

The head coach of Bologna was Mancini's assistant Mihajlovic when he coached Inter Milan before, and today he can be regarded as facing his old club.

Mihajlovic followed the 4-5-1 formation used in the last round of Bologna's match against Naples. Divayo, who is now second only to Zhu Hantao in the scorer list, advanced alone.

What's interesting is that Mancini, the former coach of the Nerazzurri, came to watch the game wearing sunglasses. Before the game, the Inter Milan players shook hands and hugged Miha.

The Bologna players wrapped their arms in black yarn to mourn the former Italian international Brallelli. Brallelli played 486 games for Bologna and won a league championship. The two sides observed a minute of silence before kick-off. A huge portrait of Brallelli and the No. 1 jersey were displayed in the stands.

The situation in the first half was tense, and both sides had good scoring opportunities, but unfortunately they failed to seize them.

Because Zhu Hantao wanted to stay in the game against Manchester United three days later, he held back his kicks, and his performance in this game was relatively mediocre.

After the break, with the score still zero to zero, Ibrahimovic remained on the field and Mourinho replaced Muntari with Stankovic.

Inter Milan finally took the lead in the 57th minute of the game. Maicon took a corner kick from the right. Ibrahimovic nodded and headed forward. Cambiasso stopped the ball with his left thigh 3 meters in front of the goal and volleyed with his right foot to the top of the goal, [-]-[-].

After Inter Milan took the lead, Mourinho replaced Zhu Hantao with Vieira and asked him to rest early.

Unexpectedly, shortly after replacing Zhu Hantao, Mikhailovich's Bologna equalized the score.Divayo picked a pass to Maracina, Rivas volleyed from behind and put the ball out of the bottom line. Bologna took a corner kick from the right. Britos bounced the ball 8 meters away from the goal and the ball bounced into the far corner of the goal. The score was tied at 1-1.

Mourinho immediately replaced Maxwell with Balotelli after conceding the goal.

In the 82nd minute, Zenoni pulled down Balotelli in defense and was warned by the referee. At the same time, he gave Inter Milan a free kick 35 meters away from the goal.

Balotelli's free kick from a small angle on the left bounced over the wall and hit the inside of the far post and bounced into the net. Inter Milan took the lead again.

In the end, Mourinho's Inter Milan defeated Bologna with a score of [-] to [-] in the away game, and continued to maintain a [-]-point lead over Juventus, which is ranked second in the league.

The league has passed through dangers and continues to ride the dust, and the Champions League is imminent.

So there were still problems in the group stage before. If Mourinho's Inter Milan can qualify first in the group, then they don't have to face a strong opponent like Manchester United in the first knockout round. Explain to friends who watched the game late. Manchester United at this time is not the Manchester United in the future.

There is no need for too much introduction. No one does not know Manchester United. Even if someone who has never watched football tells him that he may know a little about Manchester United, at least it is unlikely that he has never heard of it. Manchester United is definitely one of the most famous teams in the world.

Sir Alex Ferguson has coached Manchester United for more than [-] years, and the Red Devils in his hands are undoubtedly still one of the most powerful teams in Europe. Cristiano Ronaldo, one of the double prides who have ruled football for more than ten years, is also playing for Manchester United at this time.

On the evening of February 2th, local time in Italy, the first round of the European Champions Cup quarter-finals is about to begin. Inter Milan sits at home and ushers in a match against the defending champions of the Premier League, the Red Devils Manchester United.

The Nerazzurri were full of enthusiasm, and even though it was a midweek game, nearly [-] spectators came to San Siro, looking forward to Inter Milan's further progress in the Champions League.

国际米兰近22个主场取胜21场，主场对阵英格兰球队战绩6胜2负，但仅有的2场败绩就出现在最近，分别是上赛季欧冠八分之一决赛中零比一负于利物浦和2003-04赛季小组赛上以一比五的比分惨败给伦敦球队阿森纳。

At the same time, the Nerazzurri only won one game in the last four Champions League home games, scoring a total of only two goals.

Looking back at the 2004 Champions League, Mourinho led Porto to eliminate Ferguson's Manchester United and finally won the championship.

Since then, when the Portuguese coached the Blues Chelsea, he had an overwhelming record of five wins, four draws and one loss against Ferguson.

Samuel and Materazzi were absent due to injury, Burdisso and Cordoba served as substitutes, and Chivu and Rivas started as central defenders.

This game is Stankovic's 62nd UEFA Champions League appearance, tying the Serbian player record created by Djojjevic.

This is also Manchester United's 200th Champions League game. The Red Devils have won 17 of the last 16 official games. However, Ferguson's team's defense is in a hurry.

Ferguson was more cautious in the frontcourt, and Berbatov had a single arrow. Rooney, who had scored six goals in eight encounters with Serie A teams, sat on the bench.

Before winning the Champions League in 1999, Manchester United eliminated Inter Milan in the quarter-finals. Now Gary Neville, Scholes, Giggs, Zanetti and other players in the two teams are still playing for the two teams.

曼联做客意大利战绩为3胜2平10负，在1999年3比2击败尤文图斯前，曼联在意大利的比赛连续7场不胜。

Today, these two giant teams from two European football powerhouses with a long history met in the Champions League. There are too many stories to tell between them, but at this moment, if they want to enter the next round, they must first defeat their opponents in front of them.

Mourinho led the team to face old acquaintances, the Portuguese was a little apprehensive, and he was not sure whether the current Inter Milan team was Manchester United's opponent.

If he can be given a season to prepare and build a team according to his wishes in the next transfer period, then Mourinho will have greater confidence and will not be afraid to face any opponent.

But at this moment, the coach of the Nerazzurri can only do his best and obey the destiny.

Huaguo TV's sports channel did not have the right to broadcast the much-anticipated heavyweight game. Fortunately, the Internet has entered thousands of households. Sina Sports invited the famous commentator Huang Jianxiang to explain the match between Inter Milan and Manchester United for fans watching the game online.

"The game has already started. I am very happy to explain this game to the audience friends on Sina Sports. Let me first introduce to you the starting players of both sides in this game.

For Inter Milan, Mourinho uses a 4-3-1-2 formation. The starting goalkeeper is No. 12 Cesar, and the right back is No. 13 player, also from Brazil, Maicon.

On the left is a teenager from Inter Milan's own youth training, No. 39 Thornton, and the central defender is partnered by No. 26 Chivu and No. 24 Rivas.

Nerazzurri captain Zanetti wore the No. 4 jersey and sat in the midfield, beside him were No. 19 Cambiasso and No. 20 Muntari, No. 5, and Serbian Stankovic in front of them.

On the front line, we are still familiar with No. 8 Ibrahimovic and Zhu Hantao, who inherited the No. 10 jersey after Adriano left the team.

然后是今天的客队曼联，老爵爷弗格森排出的是一个4-2-3-1的阵型，门将是1号荷兰人范德萨。

The left back is No. 3 Evra, the center back is No. 5 Ferdinand and No. 23 Evans. Vidic's suspension may have some impact on Manchester United's defense. I don't know if Mourinho's team can grasp this.

The right back is No. 22 O'Shea, who is also a veteran of Manchester United.

No. 24 Fletcher and No. 16 Carrick dragged behind. No. 11 Giggs officially gave the position of the midfielder today, and then on the left is No. 13, Korean Park Ji-sung, who got the chance to start today.

On the right is Manchester United's No. 7, last year's European Ballon d'Or winner, and the best player in the Premier League last season, Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo.

In the end, with the single arrow, No. 9 Berbatov stood in front alone. "

Standing at the Meazza Stadium and looking at the opponent wearing the red jersey today, Zhu Hantao had an indescribable special mood. Isn't this kind of game and this kind of opponent exactly what he was looking forward to.

There was excitement, excitement, and the joy of finally standing on the European stage to compete with the top teams. At this moment, Zhu Hantao had no other distracting thoughts in his mind, but only thought of being able to fully demonstrate his strength, make a difference in this game, and do his best for Inter Milan to win the game.

"The referee who enforced this game is Luis Cantalejo from Spain. With the whistle of the referee, the first round of the Champions League quarter-finals, the Serie A leader Inter Milan's home game against the Premier League leader Manchester United officially begins!"
