Chapter 496: First Appearance

Gao Xiaodong was sent off with a red card in the Champions League final last season, according to the regulations, Gao Xiaodong will be suspended for one game, and he will not be able to play in the game with Barcelona, but on the day of the game with Barcelona, Inter Milan suddenly appealed to the UEFA referee committee, saying that Gao Xiaodong's red card in the Champions League final last season was a misjudgment, Gao Xiaodong was an unintentional handball when the header was cleared, and I hope that the referee committee will cancel Gao Xiaodong's red card and ban punishment.

UEFA believes that the appeal of the red card has exceeded the statute of limitations and does not allow Inter Milan to appeal, but Inter Milan is confident, they said that after Gao Xiaodong received the red card, Porto has appealed to the referee committee and handed over the materials to the staff of the UEFA referee committee, Chris, but UEFA did not make a trial, because Gao Xiaodong then asked for a transfer, and Porto did not ask about the matter.

The UEFA referee committee immediately investigated Chris, and they found out that there was really such a thing, but when Porto submitted the materials to Chris, Chris was suddenly hospitalized in a car accident the next day, and Porto did not ask about it again, so the matter was closed.

Obviously, this was a mistake made by the UEFA referees committee itself, and they could only accept Inter's appeal and prepare for a hearing to study the red card penalty for Gao Xiaodong in last season's final.

Obviously, Gao Xiaodong's handball at that time, whether intentional or not, could not cancel the red card, because he affected a goal of Barcelona, but Inter Milan had no intention of canceling the red card at all, they just used the loopholes in the rules to allow Gao Xiaodong to participate in the game with Barcelona during the referee committee trial, as for Gao Xiaodong's ban later, Inter Milan played against Kazan Rubin and Dynamo Kiev, even if there is no Gao Xiaodong, Inter Milan can completely win.

Although Barcelona was unhappy with this, they could not do anything because Inter Milan did not break the rules, they just took advantage of the loopholes in the rules.

Gao Xiaodong's participation was a complete surprise to Barcelona, but it was premeditated in Inter Milan, as early as learning that the first round of the Champions League group stage played Barcelona, Inter Milan began to look for a way to let Gao Xiaodong play, and finally through Porto, Inter Milan finally set this beautiful trick.

However, Inter vs. Barcelona, whether Gao Xiaodong can participate in the game or not, is the focus of the first round of the group stage, two days before the game, the tickets have been sold out, two hours before the start of the game, the stands of the Meazza Stadium are full of blue-black fans, the north stand is covered with banners and huge portraits, looking from afar, just like the opening celebration of a Chinese company.

At this time, the players of Inter Milan came out of the locker room to train, Gao Xiaodong was among them, and the nera group in the stands, which was originally slightly boring, immediately expressed their excitement for Gao Xiaodong to play this game with a burst of warm applause and cheers.

The extreme fan leaders in the north stand were all pleasantly surprised to see Gao Xiaodong appear on the court, Simon said: "It turns out that this is the surprise that Xiaodong gave us." ”

Calavita said: "Judging from yesterday's conversation, Xiao Dong should know that he can play. ”

Barcelona Rotta said: "Samuel Eto'o vs. Ibrahimovic, Gao Xiaodong vs. Messi, Pep Guardiola vs. Mourinho, this duel is perfect, how can UEFA suspend Gao Xiaodong." ”

Simon said: "Not to mention, UEFA probably turned a blind eye and deliberately gave Xiaodong a chance to play." ”

Calavita said: "UEFA's shamelessness cannot be underestimated. ”

"Sky Sports" commentator Mazzola saw Gao Xiaodong appear on the field for training, he sighed: "This must be Mourinho's conspiracy, but even if Gao Xiaodong can play, it will be very difficult for Inter Milan to beat Barcelona, if Inter Milan puts out a defensive counterattack lineup, maybe it is possible to get a draw." ”

He Hui, the commentator of Huaguo CCTV, said in surprise: " Gao Xiaodong was able to play, this is really unexpected, Gao Xiaodong's play will make this highlight more exciting, if the duel between Ibrahimovic and Eto'o is more dramatic, then the duel between Messi in 87 and Gao Xiaodong in 89 is even more gorgeous, Messi is the favorite of this year's World Footballer and the Golden Ball Award, and Gao Xiaodong is the favorite of the European Golden Boy Award, Messi is now a superstar, and Gao Xiaodong is also a potential newcomer, a future superstar, the two of them and the 85-year-old Ronaldo will be very likely to dominate the future football pattern。

Now that I've got the starting line-up for both sides, there should be no change in this lineup, let's take a look at Barcelona's starting 11 first, 1-Valdés/2-Alves, 5-Puyol, 3-Pique, 22-Abidal/6-Xavi, 24-Toure, 15-Keita/10- Messi, 9-Ibrahimovic, 14-Henry, this is a typical 433 formation, but Iniesta in the midfield has just recovered from injury, so he is not in the starter, but such a starter, the control and creativity of the midfielder are slightly worse, but the hardness of the defense and the ability to run and intercept have definitely improved a lot.

Let's take a look at Inter Milan's starting line-up, 12-Cesar/13-McConn, 6-Lucio, 25-Samuel, 26-Zivu/No.5-Stankovic, 4-Zanetti, 8-Thiago Mota/10-Gao Xiaodong/22-Milito, 9-Eto'o. This is a lineup with no surprises, or the people everyone thinks of, or the 4312 formation, but in the face of Barcelona, such a formation seems to be more symptomatic, Barcelona's strongest is their midfield control, and Inter Milan's strongest point is their midfield's destructive ability, it seems that the focus of the game is whether Barcelona can control the ball. ”

The Inter players came out to train for almost 20 minutes, sweating a little, and then went back to the dressing room and waited for the game to start.

In the dressing room of Inter Milan, Villas-Boas and Mourinho were talking, and when they saw the players walking in, Mourinho stood up and said: "The game is about to start, this is our first Champions League game of the new season, I hope everyone will play our spirit, no matter what the victory or defeat, we must not be afraid, we have also seen the starting lineup of Barcelona, Xavi, Keita, Toure, these three people, Keita and Toure's ability to handle the ball is average, as long as we can watch Xavi and press the two sides of Barcelona, Barcelona's front trident is useless, of course, Lucio and Samuel also have a heavy task, the two of you must keep an eye on Ibrahimovic, as well as the opponent's front goalkeeper, Zanetti, you have to watch Messi on the right side, everyone else, once you see Messi with the ball, everyone must give priority to defending Messi......"

After a brief review of the tactical arrangement, Mourinho added: " The time to test our strength is coming, our opponent is the defending champions, and against Barcelona, we know our position in European football, don't think that we are the champion of Serie A, that is, the top five or even the top three teams in Europe, don't forget, we haven't been in the Champions League semi-finals for many years, but I believe everyone, we will definitely show a new face to the fans of Inter Milan, we want to let them know that Inter Milan is not the soft foot crab of the Champions League, we are here to win the Champions League trophy ......"

At this time, the referees' whistle was heard in the mixed tunnel, Mourinho stopped speaking, and said gently to the players: "Go out, don't care too much about winning or losing, just show your skills, fighting spirit and confidence to the fans." ”
