The battle for the spotlight between Inter Milan and Roma is raging. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Hua Guogao catches the ball...... Shake De Rossi!Shoot!The ball is saved by goalkeeper Sergio!It's dangerous!Sergio has made a meritorious contribution today!Without his brave play, maybe Roma would have fallen behind by now......"

It was the fifth minute of the second half, and Roma goalkeeper Sergio saved Gao Xiaodong's long-range shot! The score was still 0:0, and neither Roma nor Inter Milan could score.

Mourinho on the sidelines looked solemn, although in the Champions League quarter-finals with CSKA Moscow in midweek, he still sent all his main forces against Roma, but Ranieri's team was difficult to play, and Inter Milan tried their best to break through the door of Roma.

Roma are unbeaten and the backline is solid.

Ranieri is no more relaxed than Mourinho, although he once said that he doesn't care about the championship, but he can't care less about the victory or defeat with Mourinho's team, with the meanness of a madman, if he loses this game, he will definitely be ridiculed by Mourinho after the game.

In the VIP box, Inter Milan club president Moratti was watching and talking with Mendes, the agent of Mourinho, Quaresma and Gao Xiaodong.

After eliminating Chelsea, Moratti asked Oriali to go to Mendes and discuss with him about Gao Xiaodong's contract renewal, but Mendes repeatedly shirked, saying that there was no rush now, Gao Xiaodong still had a two-year contract, and it was not too late to wait for the end of the season to renew his contract.

But Moratti can't wait, there are many teams seeking to buy Gao Xiaodong now, Real Madrid, Manchester United, Chelsea, Manchester City, all plan to take Gao Xiaodong under his command, compared with Gao Xiaodong's current performance, his 80 million euros in liquidated damages is too little, so Moratti personally called Mendes to watch the game together, and discussed Gao Xiaodong's contract renewal by the way.

"Mr. Mendes, Inter Milan wants to keep Gao Xiaodong and let him grow up at Inter Milan with peace of mind, of course, we will not ignore Gao's wonderful performances in the league and the Champions League, I have asked Director Oriali to offer Gao a four-year contract with an annual salary of 8 million euros, I ask myself that this contract is still very sincere. ”

It has only been 9 months since the signing of the contract, and the annual salary has increased by 2 million, Moratti feels that for a 20-year-old young star, this is definitely full of sincerity, and he wants to know what is the reason for Mendes' push?

Mendes withdrew his gaze from the court, smiled and said to Moratti: "This is a very generous contract, but I think Gao Xiaodong still has two years of contract, and there is really no need to be in such a hurry to renew it." ”

Mendes's excuse is still the same as that of Oriali, which made Moratti a little unhappy, and he said directly: "Mr. Mendes, is there a team that offers you a higher price." ”

"I think you should know better. Mendes spoke without a leak.

Moratti said frankly: " Mr. Mendes, don't talk to me about diplomatic rhetoric, now there is a team asking me to buy Gao Xiaodong, but I refused, I told them, Gao Xiaodong is not for sale, I think there must be someone to contact you, but I think, a young man better not to jump ship casually, this is not good for him, Gao Xiaodong is now living very happily at Inter Milan, the coach has absolute trust in him, he and his teammates get along very harmoniously, whether in life or on the field, they are making history at Inter Milan, if he chooses to change jobs, there will be a lot of variables in the future, Anelka's lesson I believe you will not know。 ”

Mendes smiled and said: "Chairman Massimo, I think you misunderstood, the renewal is definitely a good thing, I agree with the renewal, but I think the current time is not right, I want to renew the contract at the end of the season, and you want to renew the contract now, there is no essential gap between us." ”

Moratti said disapprovingly: "I don't think there is much difference between renewing a contract now and renewing it at the end of the season. ”

Mendes smiled and said: "I think there is a difference, for example, now you offer an annual salary of 8 million euros, you and I say how to repay this price, Gao Xiaodong has not made any earth-shattering contributions to Inter Milan, but at the end of the season, if Inter Milan wins the Champions League, will you still offer such a salary? What if you really win the double, or even the treble?"

"This ......" to tell the truth, this season Moratti did not dare to hope for the Champions League title, the semi-finals can already satisfy him, Mendes's words made Moratti not know how to answer, he was not prepared for this.

On the field, Gao Xiaodong didn't know that Mendes was on the scene, and was discussing his contract renewal with Moratti, he is now racking his brains to think about how to break through Roma's defense and lock up the win early, there is a more important Champions League game in midweek, Gao Xiaodong does not want to play a war of attrition with Rome.

After 20 games of unbeaten run-in, the team is very tacit and full of confidence, today's game Roma's fighting spirit is stronger than Inter Milan, their midfield running is also more active, Inter Milan play a little sluggish, their penetration can not tear Roma's defense, wing assists are also Roma full-backs Cassetti and Reese's defense.

In the 55th minute of the game, Pizarro pulled the side to the side and forced McConn, McCone stuck the inside line and fought and retreated, Pizarro couldn't find a chance to break through, knocked the ball back to the assisted left-back Risser, Riser took two steps with the ball, and suddenly shot angrily at 27 meters.

Reese's heavy bombardment was famous all over the world, and Cesar had been prepared, he didn't dare to hold the ball, and pounced on it with both fists.

The ball slid right at the feet of Roma vice-president De Rossi, who slammed the ball on the edge of the penalty area, shook Samuel and followed up with his feet to shoot.

Cesar reacted quickly and rolled over to make another save to save the ball again.

However, on the second save, Cesar had already tried his best, and he didn't have time to choose a direction, and the ball was saved by him and bounced directly into Tony's lap and into the empty goal.

1:0

Roma took the lead unexpectedly.

Toney, who scored passively, excitedly raised his arms and rushed to the stands.

The 100,000 Roma fans in the stands couldn't believe their eyes, and after a brief pause, the 100,000 fans jumped to their feet, raised their arms and chanted in celebration of Roma's lead over leaders Inter Milan.

The on-site commentator roared: "Beautiful! Goal in! Tony! Toney opens the scoring for Roma! 1:0! 1:0! Roma leads! If we can beat Inter with this goal, we are only one point away from Inter Milan! Great Roma! Go forward!"

Ranieri shook his fist hard and his heart was half relaxed, and it definitely bodes well that Roma have not lost the first goal this season.

Jose Mourinho is a little sore, he sent out the whole main lineup, just to beat Roma early and prepare well for the midweek league, but now there is some tragedy, the main team is not only dragged by Roma, but also has a good chance of losing the game.

Moratti in the VIP box was a little nervous, if Inter Milan really lost this game, the league title would be very dangerous, Inter Milan was a three-line battle, and the energy was very distracted, and Roma basically specialized in the league.

Seeing that Moratti was nervous, Mendes looked calm and said: "It's okay, Chairman Massimo, there is still time, you have to believe Jose and Xiaodong, they have always been good at playing against the wind." ”
