The next day, the Chinese media published articles criticizing Mourinho's arrogant attitude towards the head coach of the Chinese team, Gao Bo. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Ball" believes that Gao Bo is sincere to ask for advice, and he went three times, but Mourinho only gave Gao Bo three minutes, at most enough to say hello, for a national team manager, this approach is simply humiliating, as a world-class coach, humiliating the coach of a weak football country will not have no impact on Gao Bo, but will only damage his reputation.

"Sports Weekly" reporter Li Xiang broke the news that in fact, Mourinho was not ready to give Gao Bo for three minutes, and it was only because Gao Xiaodong gave Gao Bo a word in front of Mourinho that Mourinho gave Gao Bo three minutes of face.

Li Xiang got Gao Xiaodong's help when he was in Portugal, and now is the time to return, Li Xiang praised Gao Xiaodong in the report for Gao Xiaodong's behavior of speaking for Gao Bo regardless of his previous suspicions, thinking that European and American societies respect the strong, and if they want to gain their respect, they must come up with strong strength and absolute results, just like Gao Xiaodong, when he first arrived in Portugal, he was also looked down upon by all kinds, but now, as strong as Da Costa, Mendes, Ferguson, and Mourinho also have to respectfully come to the door to invite, Gao Bo wants Mourinho, A figure like Alex Ferguson is so impressive that it's useless to be courteous and he has to do something at the World Cup.

The media hyped it, and many Chinese fans on the Internet also expressed their indignation at Mourinho's behavior, believing that it was an insult to Chinese football, and they condemned Mourinho on the Internet.

Mourinho's fans tried their best to defend Mourinho, believing that Mourinho did not humiliate Gao Bo, let alone humiliate Chinese football, Inter Milan's visit to China this time is not a warm-up match, this is a Super Cup game, it is an official championship, Mourinho is so busy every day, it is good to meet Gao Bo, how can I have time to communicate with Gao Bo.

Mourinho's humiliation of the head coach of the Chinese team has been publicized online and offline, and Inter Milan President Moratti was shocked, and he was worried that Chinese fans would turn to support Lazio because of this incident, so he suggested that Mourinho explain it at the press conference to give Gao Bo and Chinese fans a step down.

Although the match with Lazio is about to start, Mourinho is not afraid that Chinese fans will defect because of his humiliation of Gao Bo, because Inter Milan has Gao Xiaodong, a star with huge popularity in China, no matter what he Mourinho says, Chinese fans will definitely support Inter Milan.

In his pre-match press conference, Mourinho only talked about the Super Cup and Inter Milan, and never talked about Bo.

"From now on, we will go all out to win the Super Cup, now we have four Super Cups, one more title will overtake Juventus and tie with AC Milan, and what is more meaningful than the stats is that this title will make us more relaxed about the league that starts in a week's time.

I don't know who the Super Cup favourites are, I just know that Inter Milan and Lazio both want this title, no one will give up, our players are more famous and more valuable, but that doesn't mean that the title is yours, otherwise Real Madrid would have booked all the titles this season.

Don't talk to me about Pandev, Schneider, Van der Vaart, I don't want to talk about all the players who can't play in the Super Cup, Inter Milan has all three lines and the players I want are in place. ”

When asked by a Chinese reporter about the status of Gao Xiaodong, Eto'o and Lucio, and who will start, Mourinho replied: " They are obviously not in the best condition yet, because they have been with the team for a short time, but they are all very good players, even if they come to Inter Milan on the first day, they will definitely be able to bring important contributions to the team, because when we bought them, we took into account their characteristics and the consistency of the tactics we wanted, first of all, I can tell you that Gao Xiaodong will definitely start, if I don't let him start, it is estimated that the 90,000 fans on the scene will not agree, this is his home stadium, he will definitely have an excellent performance. ”

When a Chinese reporter asked if Mourinho could not win the Champions League trophy with Inter Milan this season, Mourinho was very unhappy: "I finally know why Chinese football is not good, your football reporters ask too amateurish questions, and you don't seem to know much about football." You Chinese people have won a lot of projects, but football is not good, and your problems are too far from the problems of high-level journalists. In the Champions League, there are five or six teams that have the quality to win the title, but the key to winning the Champions League is the details and luck, and you have to have all the favourable conditions on your side to win the title. ”

Gao Xiaodong also accompanied Mourinho to the pre-match press conference, and at the Olympic Sports Center, he was more popular with reporters than Mourinho.

Gao Xiaodong first talked about the feeling of returning to China to play, "I am very happy and proud to be able to play in the Bird's Nest, the Olympic Games held here last year, our country has achieved great success, and brought great joy to the people of the whole country, and this time it will definitely not add to everyone's blockage." ”

Then he thanked the fans for their warm welcome to him, "I am flattered by everyone's enthusiasm these days, in fact, I just did a little insignificant thing, and I really don't deserve such courtesy." ”

When the reporter asked Gao Xiaodong when he would be able to play for the Chinese team, Gao Xiaodong chose to avoid, "Now I just want to talk about the Super Cup, and other things will be talked about later, what can bring happiness to fans now is not those distant topics, but I bring them a Super Cup championship." Lazio are not underdogs and we are not the best Inter Milan and we should focus on the game. ”

Another Chinese reporter asked: "You have now become a role model for Chinese players, and Chinese young players want to succeed in Europe like you, do you have any good advice for them?"

Gao Xiaodong said: "Europe represents the highest level of professional football, and young people who aspire to become professional players should go to Europe to exercise, whether they succeed or not, it is a valuable asset." European football is very competitive, and if you want to establish yourself here, you have to work harder and harder than at home. ”

……

After attending the pre-match press conference and returning to the hotel, Mourinho held a tactical meeting to announce tomorrow's starting line-up and arrange the tactical style of play against Lazio tomorrow.

The tactical style of play has been the continuation of last season's 4312 formation, and the new players have been training these days, and the players have long been very familiar with it, Mourinho mainly pointed out some details that need to be paid attention to in the game.

The main topic of this meeting is the determination of the starting position.

Inter Milan has gone a lot of players this season, and there are also a lot of players, and many players are all-rounders, and after more than two weeks of warm-up games, Mourinho has not confirmed a stable starting lineup.

Up front, the long-established Samuel Eto'o and Milito, who scored 24 goals in Serie A last season, often start together, and no one disagrees with this except Balotelli, who has largely ignored the dissent of his coach and team-mates.

In the forward position, Gao Xiaodong's competitor is only Stankovic, but Stankovic's speed is not as good as Gao Xiaodong's, his long-range shooting is not as good as Gao Xiaodong's, and his organizational skills are about the same, and Gao Xiaodong's creativity and ability to pass the last pass are slightly stronger than Stankovic, plus Gao Xiaodong's warm-up game played well, and Mourinho fought hard to snatch it from Ferguson, so no one dared to say anything about Gao Xiaodong's starter.

In the three back positions, the strong Argentine gang boss Cambiaso has always been the starter, Stankovic can't compete with Gao Xiaodong in the front midfield, but he can compete for Muntari in the back position, he has no problem getting a starting position, and there are many players who can play in the back position, Muntari and Zivo and Zanetti can play, and they often rotate to play

In the defender and goalkeeper positions, Cesar's starting goalkeeper position has no rivals, among the four defenders, McCain's right-back is thunderous, Lucio's central defender is not much suspense, and the rest is that the starting role of another central defender and left-back is not easy to determine.

Zanetti is the captain, the meritorious player, definitely going to start, the only thing that is uncertain is which position Zanetti will play.

If Zanetti goes to play left-back, then Muntari has no rivals, and there is no suspense as the third starting midfielder, but if Zanetti goes to play left-back, then the youngster Thornton can only be substituted, so there is only one central defender in the Italian local gang who can compete for the position.

But in this position, the 36-year-old Materazzi is basically no match for Samuel and Zivo, who are several years younger than him, which means that if Zanetti plays at left-back, the Italian gang will not be able to get a starting place in this Super Cup.

If Zanetti goes to play in the back, then Santon can only compete with Zivo for the starting position at left-back, because Zivo has been playing central defender in Roma, and Thornton has always been a full-back, and the hope of starting is still not small.

This is the first time Inter Milan has played in Asia, and it is to open up the market, if an Italian player can't play, the Italian gang will be too embarrassed, so seeing Mourinho to announce the starting lineup, all the Italian players are a little nervous.

Mourinho glanced at the 30 players in the conference room, and felt a little irritable, there were too many players, he always thought that the first team could only have 25 players at most, 23 people were the best, but now there are five players who are not in his plan, but these five players have been reluctant to leave, like these players who are not in his plan, if they are not given the opportunity to play, they may become a landmine in the dressing room and affect the unity of the team.

In addition to the players who are not in the plan, the starting of the remaining players is also a headache for Mourinho.

Boss Moratti just talked to him, although Moratti said that he would not interfere with his arrangement, but the meaning of the words was that the Super Cup held in China this time should give Italian local players, especially Balotelli and Thornton, some opportunities, and young people will not be given a chance to grow.

The South American gang is very powerful, Mourinho does not want to let them control all the starting positions, once a gang grows bigger, the authority of the coach will be hurt, and he will not be able to do what he wants in terms of lineup and tactical play, as a senior coach who has followed Robson, Van Gaal and other famous coaches for many years, and has coached Porto and Chelsea, Mourinho is very sensitive to this.

Mourinho thought about the start for a long time and didn't make a decision until the morning of the day before the game.

“…… Let me announce the starting line-up for tomorrow, goalkeeper No. 12 Cesar, right-back No. 13 McConn, centre-back No. 6 Lucio, No. 26 Zivo, left-back No. 39 Thornton......

Hearing Zivo starting the central defender and Thornton starting the left back, the players in the conference room were shocked, except for Gao Xiaodong, almost everyone was talking in a low voice.

Mourinho was unmoved, and continued to read the starting list: "...... Zanetti No. 4 at the back, No. 19 Cambiasso, No. 5 Stankovic, No. 10 Gao Xiaodong in the front, No. 9 Eto'o and No. 22 Milito ...... in the forwards"

After Mourinho announced the starting line-up, he left the conference room with the sentence "If you have any questions, you can go to my room, my room will be open until tomorrow before going to the Bird's Nest".

Mourinho left the conference room, and there was chaos in the room.

Argentina gang boss Cambiaso slapped the table and said angrily: "Why can't Samuel start, who is stronger than him in the Inter team." “

"I don't see the rationale for this arrangement. “

Cruise said: "The captain played well at left-back, why did he play at the back. “

The Argentine gang is overwhelming, you say a word to me, the spearhead is directed at Ziwo, although Zivo has fire in his heart, but he dares to be angry and dare not speak, stands up and turns around and leaves the conference room.

Although Eto'o has just transferred to Inter Milan, he feels that he is a two-time Champions League winner, and his fame and strength are above the stars of Inter Milan, so he has already seen himself as the boss of the African gang in his heart, and when he saw that Muntari did not start, he hugged Muntari in the past, and said loudly: "Don't feel sorry for Muntari, I don't think you are worse than anyone, you go to the coach in a while, or I will accompany you." “

Muntari was grateful and said to Eto'o: "Thank you, I don't need you to accompany me, I'll go to the coach." “

Cambiaso pulled up Samuel, who was bored and didn't speak, and said: "Don't be stuffy like a stone, let's go and ask the coach together, what kind of arrangement is he based on, I see, he thinks that there is a cronie who can play multiple positions, and this is to attack us old people." “

Cambiaso has something to say, and the spearhead is pointed at Gao Xiaodong.

Others are afraid that the Argentine gang is overwhelming, but Gao Xiaodong is not afraid, but this is Yanjing, he is a Chinese, how can he be afraid of the South American gang, Gao Xiaodong took the case, and said: "There is something to say, there is no special hiding of the head and tail, I don't have the ability to get the starter, and I am to blame, is it easy to bully when Lao Tzu?"

Gao Xiaodong slapped Cambiaso directly in the face, the players of the Argentine gang were furious, and Burdisso also took the case, saying: "Boy, you speak cleanly, otherwise be careful that I will beat you." “

Gao Xiaodong saw that Cruise and Cambiaso were walking towards him, he laughed and said, "If you go it alone, I will let you come one by one, relying on the strength of the crowd? Believe it or not, I will open the door and say hello, I can come over and beat you up, don't forget where you are." “

Balotelli fell in love with Gao Xiaodong, seeing that Gao Xiaodong and the Argentine Gang were going to fight, he happily ran to Gao Xiaodong's side: "Fight, fight, count me in." “

Quaresma is still counting on Gao Xiaodong to help him rise in Inter Milan, and he also stood up and said, "I really want to bully people." “

Zanetti saw that Gao Xiaodong was not afraid, Quaresma and Balotelli both stood up directly to help Gao Xiaodong, Materazzi looked unkind, and hurriedly came over to act as a peacemaker, and said: "What is this for, there is no game yet, but the coach announced the starting list, shall we fight first? The coach said, find him if you have a problem." What are you arguing about here. ”

Materazzi saw Zanetti's words of dissuasion, and came over to persuade Gao Xiaodong, Balotelli, and Quaresma, saying: "Before the game, should there be civil strife first? ”

Team deputy Córdoba went over to advise Cambiaso and the others, "Say a few words, this matter has nothing to do with Xiao Donggao." The coach is only on a preliminary list, so if you have any objections, talk to the coach. ”

The Argentine Gang's original intention was to threaten Gao Xiaodong, and he had no intention of fighting, and Gao Xiaodong didn't want to get into trouble with the Argentine Gang before the Super Cup, so the two sides left the conference room under the advice of Materazzi and Córdoba, Gao Xiaodong went back to the room to rest, and Cambiaso went directly to Mourinho.

Saying that, Materazzi came over to Gao Xiaodong and Cambiaso and others,
