The afternoon team meeting was mainly about how to play the Serie A match with Parma and the Champions League group stage against Barcelona. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Parma are no longer the seven sisters of Serie A in the mini-World Cup, they have just risen from Serie B and are completely unthreatening to Inter Milan, and the focus of this team meeting is still on the Champions League group stage with Barcelona.

The draw for the Champions League group stage took place before the Milan derby, when Inter Milan were all focused on the derby and no one was thinking about the Champions League, and now they can finally shift most of their energy to the Champions League.

There are three opponents in the group stage of Inter Milan, Barcelona, Rubin Kazan, and Dynamo Kyiv, in such a group, normal play, there should be no problem in qualifying, the key is to compete with Barcelona for the first place in the group.

Mourinho used to be Barcelona's little translator, this background makes Mourinho always want to beat Barcelona to prove himself, and if he can beat the defending champion in the group stage and beat the defending champion to qualify, it can greatly improve Inter Milan's self-confidence and play an important role in Inter Milan's competition for the Champions League.

In addition to the grudge with Barcelona, the key to Mourinho's success or failure this season is not actually in the league, but in the Champions League, Mancini won the league three times in a row because the Champions League results are too poor, if Mourinho does nothing in the Champions League, then even if he wins the Serie A title again, he can only leave at the end of the season.

Therefore, in Mourinho's mind, the Champions League is far more important than the league, but Mourinho did not say it, but asked the players and assistant coaches to discuss how to play these two games.

Samuel Eto'o was the first to stand up and say that the Champions League should not be ignored because of the Champions League next week, and if something goes wrong with the league, it will also have an impact on the Champions League in midweek.

Muntari, Motta and other African players and newcomers felt justified and expressed their support, while the Argentine gang and a few veteran players were there to sneer secretly.

In the Champions League final last season, Gao Xiaodong led Porto to challenge Barcelona, and was beaten to the ground, Gao Xiaodong also received a red card, Gao Xiaodong was worried about this, and he had long been thinking about revenge, and now Barcelona has drawn a group with Inter Milan, Gao Xiaodong hopes that the team will beat Barcelona with the best state and physical fitness, of course, he doesn't want to be dragged down by the league.

Gao Xiaodong stood up and said that Parma is just a promoted horse, and his strength is not enough to threaten Inter Milan, so he can send a substitute to prepare for the Champions League group stage with Barcelona in midweek.

Eto'o immediately objected, saying that it was also a promoted horse, and the Bari team caused a lot of trouble for Inter Milan.

Gao Xiaodong went on to say that although the Bari team caused a little trouble, they were defeated by Inter Milan 3:1 in the end, and the problems caused by the promoted horses were limited.

Led by Gao Xiaodong and Samuel Eto'o, the Inter Milan players debated what to think of the game against Parma, but of course no one could convince anyone.

Jose Mourinho watched from the sidelines, got a clear idea of the players' minds and psychology, and then gave his own decision.

"Parma are a promoted team, but they are not weak, with one win and one draw in the first two rounds, but we don't need to exaggerate their quality, compared to us, they are still far behind.

Against Parma, I will send most of the main players, maybe do some experiments in some positions, you need to go all out at the beginning, play Parma as Barcelona, play our own characteristics, after locking the win, control the situation, play a counterattack, and then I will talk about specific tactical ......"

Mourinho's meaning is obvious, that is, to play the league with Parma as a warm-up game, focus on me, play my own characteristics, lock in the win, control the rhythm to play counterattacks, and save energy.

Materazzi, Zanetti, Eto'o and other old players feel that something is wrong, although Parma is a promoted horse, but I am afraid that they will not easily give up resistance, but the team has just experienced a round of purge, and the historic slaughter of AC Milan, Mourinho's authority is at its peak, and no one dares to stand up directly to express doubts.

Jose Mourinho set up his tactics and prepared to break up and give his players a break, with a training session in the afternoon.

At this time, Balotelli stood up and said, "Coach, I have something to say. ”

Mourinho let out an "oh" in surprise and said, "Mario, just say whatever you want." ”

Balotelli said impassionedly: "Our team now has a captain and two vice-captains, and I think we should add another vice-captain." ”

"Oh, then tell me who is suitable to be the deputy of this team. ”

Mourinho did have the idea of adding a captain, and he also told the assistant coaches, but he didn't find a suitable candidate for a while, and wanted to wait for the new players to run in, but he didn't expect Balotelli to take the initiative to mention it, which made Mourinho very surprised, he secretly speculated that who taught Balotelli to say it, he didn't believe that Balotelli would suddenly care about the team's captaincy.

The Inter Milan players in the conference room also looked at Balotelli in amazement like looking at a giant panda, and they didn't know which one this living treasure was playing today.

Balotelli said: "I think Gao Xiaodong is the most suitable, he is very good, and he scored a hat-trick in the Milan derby. ”

As soon as Balotelli finished speaking, there was an uproar in the conference room, except for Zanetti and Quaresma, who looked sluggish, and everyone else laughed.

"I'll rub it, let Gao Xiaodong be the deputy of the team!"

"How old is Gao Xiaodong, 19 years old, are there any captains under 20 years old in our history?"

"Why didn't Balotelli nominate himself as captain? ”

"What kind of nerve is this thing doing today?"

……

Gao Xiaodong saw that Zanetti was silent, and quickly kicked Zanetti's chair behind.

Zanetti couldn't pretend to be blind anymore, he smiled bitterly, stood up and said: "Actually, what Mario said is right, Gao Xiaodong is also good as the vice captain, he is the main force of the team, and he is very young, so he can be trained as a captain." ”

Zanetti didn't say it loudly, but the content was so amazing that the entire conference room was silent in an instant, including Mourinho, everyone was stunned, and no one thought that Zanetti would support Gao Xiaodong as the vice captain.

But just when everyone was surprised, Quaresma also stood up and said: "I also support Gao Xiaodong as the vice captain, he has the ability to take responsibility and courage, although he is a little younger, but he is only the vice captain, I think he is completely competent." ”

Mourinho looked at Zanetti, Quaresma and Balotelli who stood up, and immediately determined that this was Gao Xiaodong's ghost, but what he didn't understand was that Gao Xiaodong said that it was normal to move Balotelli and Quaresma, but how could he say that Zanetti supported him.

Just when everyone was shocked and speechless by the scene in front of them, Gao Xiaodong also stood up, waved his hand again and again, and said, "Why do you all hold me up like this, I think Mario." Balotelli is better suited to be the vice-captain than I am. ”

"Poof!"

"Haha!"

After listening to Gao Xiaodong's words, except for Balotelli, almost everyone in the conference room couldn't help laughing.

Balotelli as the vice president of the team? This is simply a big joke in the world, even if you lead a dog to be the vice president of Inter Milan, it is better than Balotelli, at least the dog doesn't make trouble, Gao Xiaodong is here to be funny?

Mourinho's smile flashed away, he forced a smile, and said to Gao Xiaodong with a calm face: "Nonsense, what do you think of here, this is the conference room." ”

Gao Xiaodong fulfilled his promise to Balotelli, of course, he didn't say more, and sat down pretending to be sneering.

Naturally, no one took Gao Xiaodong's words seriously, and everyone was considering whether Gao Xiaodong was suitable to be the captain.

At this time, Lucio took the lead in standing up and said: "I object, Gao Xiaodong is too young, only 19 years old, not to mention that there is no such precedent in the history of Inter Milan, and there is no such precedent in the five major leagues." ”

Lucio also wanted to be the vice president of the team, and thought that this vice president of the team belonged to him, but he didn't expect that someone proposed Gao Xiaodong to be the vice president of the team, and Zanetti actually supported it.

Eto'o also wanted to be the team's vice-president, he stood up with Lucio, and strongly objected: "I firmly object, is this captain casual? In addition to ability, he must also have prestige and qualifications." ”

Materazzi said: "I think Captain Zanetti is not considerate, Gao Xiaodong is too young, too young, he really made him the captain, what do the fans think, what the media say." ”

Cordoba said: "Yes, we are a giant, not an ordinary team, let a 19-year-old young man be the captain, and no one will laugh off his big teeth." ”

Toldo said unceremoniously: "Choosing a captain is not a child's house." ”

……

Just when there was a voice of opposition in the conference room, Assistant Coach Boas stood up unexpectedly and said, "I don't think there's anything wrong with Gao Xiaodong being the vice president of the team." ”
