Chapter 625: Jersey and Volcanic Ash

After Mourinho returned from Spain, he reconciled with Inter Milan's hopeful star, Moratti's "godson" Balotelli. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

The main reason for the reconciliation is that Inter Milan's schedule is too tight, with Inter Milan having to play two league games and a Coppa Italia semi-final second leg less than two weeks after the quarter-final against CSKA Moscow.

The two league games were against Fiorentina and Juventus, and the Coppa Italia was also against Fiorentina.

In these three games, Inter Milan does not want to lose any of them, because if they lose, in the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals against Barcelona, Inter Milan may have to make a painful choice.

Balotelli is a substitute, but he is definitely the most powerful substitute, the attack is no worse than the three positive Indian strikers, his problem is that his emotional intelligence is too low, and he often does brain-dead things that affect the team's unity and reputation, and Mourinho can't do anything if he doesn't punish him.

Balotelli did not disappoint Mourinho either, scoring the winning goal in the second leg of the Coppa Italia semi-final against Fiorentina to help Inter Milan reach the Coppa Italia final.

After the game, Mourinho praised Balotelli, saying that he and Balotelli have no contradictions, Balotelli is just a little naïve and easy to be taken advantage of.

And Inter Milan President Moratti had mediated the relationship between Mourinho and Balotelli before the second leg of the Coppa Italia semifinals with Fiorentina.

Balotelli's new agent, Raiola, took the reconciliation between Balotelli and Mourinho as his own credit, and he boasted to the media that without his own hard mediation and his own pressure on Inter Milan, Mourinho would not have been able to let Balotelli play.

At the same time, Raiola also told reporters that Balotelli is an extraordinary talent, and if he meets a good coach, he has the ability to become Mr. Black after Ronaldo, Kaka and Messi.

Mourinho is a complete utilitarian, doing things regardless of right or wrong, only asking about the stakes, although the contradiction between him and Balotelli has not been resolved, but for the sake of victory and championship, he easily forgave Balotelli.

In the face of Balotelli's agent Raiola's dirty and obscene remarks, Mourinho ignored it and continued to start Balotelli in place of Milito in the upcoming league game with Fiorentina.

In this game, Balotelli continued his bravery, he and Gao Xiaodong and Samuel Eto'o each scored a goal, and finally Inter Milan beat Fiorentina 3-2 to maintain a seven-point lead over Liverpool.

Even if he doesn't like Balotelli anymore and exchanges one forbearance for two wins, Mourinho is still very happy.

In the last game before the match against Barcelona, that is, in the second leg of the Italian national derby against Juventus, Mourinho wanted to continue to start Balotelli, but at this time Balotelli suddenly had an accident.

Inter Milan has not reached the Champions League final for 45 years, and at the crucial moment when Inter Milan reached the final, Balotelli once again caused a shocking scandal.

Before the match against Juventus, Stafini, the host of Berlusconi's MediaSet "News Fragments", approached Balotelli in a bar in Milan to present him with a Golden Tapir Award and wanted to interview him.

Balotelli first accepted the Golden Tapir Award presented by the program, and then half-pushed and half-handed over a Milan shirt with No. 45 Balotelli written on it. Outside of the camera, Balotelli also put on the AC Milan shirt.

Balotelli originally thought that she was just wearing it in private, nothing, but she didn't expect that when she was wearing a Milan jersey, she happened to be caught by a reporter who was doing good things, and then reported it.

And AC Milan owner Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi also took the opportunity to fan the flames at this time, she first said that she did not know about the matter, but then he said: "I don't know what happened to this matter, so don't ask me." However, he has a handsome face, an Ac Milan D face. ”

Balotelli's agent Raiola also knew that Balotelli was in trouble, he was angry and annoyed, and hurriedly came out to publicize, saying that Balotelli was joking, and he had always been loyal to Inter Milan.

Apparently Raiola's justification was feeble, and no one believed his words.

An Inter Milan talented player donning an AC Milan shirt is clearly something that the Inter Milan club and Nerazzurri fans are absolutely unacceptable to, and it goes beyond their bottom line.

Moratti, who has always been tolerant of his players, is very angry. 'I think Balotelli has to apologize, otherwise it won't end well. ”

Fans scolded Balotelli as a rotten apple, a brain-dead, and a black sheep, hoping that Moratti would sell Balotelli as soon as possible.

And Mourinho was so angry that his nose was about to crooked, during the critical period of the team's employment, I didn't expect Balotelli to be able to do such a ridiculous thing, even if Balotelli was not late, Mourinho could pretend not to see, but he couldn't pretend not to know about this matter, Mourinho immediately said that Balotelli was not suitable to appear at the Meazza Stadium, and at the end of the season, he would not send Balotelli to play Inter Milan again.

Before the two big games, Balotelli suddenly did something like this, which disappointed Inter Milan fans, who felt that it was not a good sign and were full of worries about the match against Barcelona.

However, just when Inter Milan fans were worried, an incident that had nothing to do with football gave Inter Milan fans hope.

Starting on April 14, the volcano under the glacier of Iceland's Eyjafjallajökull glacier began to erupt. With the spread of volcanic ash, since August 17, the airspace of many European countries has been closed, tens of thousands of flights have been suspended, and about 6.8 million passengers have been stranded in other countries, which has brought great difficulties to the tourism industry in Europe.

Of course, this incident also brought huge trouble to Barcelona playing away, if the volcanic ash does not dissipate within three days, Barcelona must take a bus, drive more than ten hours and a thousand kilometers, from Barcelona to Milan.

For Barcelona, who are also playing a double game a week and playing a city derby, only three points ahead of second-placed Real Madrid, this is a huge test of their fitness.

Barcelona wanted to postpone the match, but UEFA refused, as the World Cup ended the season and all club competitions had to end early.

In response, Barça's sporting manager, Begiristain, said: "We know there is no time to postpone the game this year, but now the situation is in favour of the home team. Playing away games in a car is not the thing to do in this era. ”

Pep Guardiola also expressed his displeasure, quipping: "It's a good thing Inter Milan eliminated CSKA Moscow, otherwise we would have to go to Moscow for a game and have to leave on Saturday." ”

Mourinho was very happy, he felt that this was the opportunity, but he sarcastically said, "Is it only Barcelona who takes the bus? Lyon doesn't take the bus, I think Barcelona is afraid of us." ”

Pique retorted: "We're afraid of Inter, even if we walk to Milan, we can beat them." ”

Pique's words stirred up a thousand waves, and then the players and fans of Inter Milan and Barcelona started a fierce war of words, until the league between the two teams started, and the war of words did not stop.
