On the morning of the Milan derby, there was a lot of good news for Inter. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

First, coach Jose Mourinho finished third in the 2009 World Coach of the Year poll by the International Federation of Football History and Data (IFFHS). Just behind Barcelona boss Pep Guardiola and Manchester United boss Alex Ferguson.

Mourinho had previously won first place in the award in 2004 and 2005, as well as a second place on one occasion.

Mourinho is ranked fifth in the rankings based on the performance and results of 130 managers at club and national team level around the world between 1996 and 2009.

Considering that the top four are Ferguson, Lippi, Arsene Wenger and Guus Hiddink, who have only been in charge since 2000, this ranking is a huge honour for Mourinho.

Subsequently, in the UEFA Best Team of the Year selection, Gao Xiaodong was selected with a high vote, and he was also the only player selected for the best team of Inter Milan, but he was selected for the position of not a striker, but a striker, which can obviously be seen to be mainly to commend Gao Xiaodong's great success in Porto, rather than his performance in Inter Milan.

Of course, Inter Milan's 20-game unbeaten run in Serie A has also brought them great honours.

Inter Milan emerged as the top winner at the 13th edition of the annual Oscars of Italian football, organized by the Italian Football Federation, Media Project and Sportitalia, with five awards for best team, best coach, best goalkeeper, best scorer and most fan-favorite player.

Jose Mourinho is the best coach, Cesar is the best goalkeeper, Milito is the top scorer and Gao Xiaodong is the most popular player among the fans.

As Inter Milan were preparing for the Milan derby, President Massimo Moratti received the prize on behalf of the team and the players.

After receiving the award, Moratti praised his coach and players: "I am very satisfied with the personality of the team and the high level of professionalism.

Jose. Jose Mourinho is the most professional coach I've ever had, not just in the world of football. I wish him continued victories. It was a real pleasure to work with him.

I'm delighted that Milito has won the grand prize and hope he will be re-elected next year. We all love him and respect him.

Gao Xiaodong is an amazing player, he surprises us every minute and I hope he can stay at Inter for many years.

Cesar is our anchor, in my mind, he's better than Buffon, and of course I think our whole team is the best player in the world and they all deserve to win awards. ”

Moratti then spoke about the Milan derby, which will start in the evening: "It will be very interesting to see the battle between two coaches with great intelligence and seriousness, but with very different personalities and understanding of football. Milan's most dangerous player is Ronaldinho, he's a player who can create football, he's unpredictable, he's in great form and he's having a good time, so he's probably the player we should worry about the most, but I think Mourinho has already made a lot of arrangements, tomorrow is Mourinho's birthday, he will take the victory as his birthday present, and of course, I will prepare a gift for him. ”

……

While Moratti was accepting the award for the players facing the country, the Inter Milan players were in their final training session before the game.

The training was closed, there were no journalists and no fans.

Sneijder participated in the team's joint training, his position is the forward midfielder, and Gao Xiaodong's position is the right winger, the left winger is Pandev, the formation is still 4231, and the single arrow is Milito, who has scored 16 goals.

However, the effect of the training did not satisfy Mourinho, because no matter whether Gao Xiaodong's position was on the side or in the middle, the players were still willing to pass the ball to Gao Xiaodong, and this trust was tempered by half a season's cooperation.

Sneijder felt that Pandev had just transferred to Inter Milan and should not have been integrated into the team, and Pandev was also a European player, so he wanted to cooperate with Pandev, but after Sneijder passed the ball to Pandev, he didn't expect Pandev to immediately pass it to Gao Xiaodong, which made Sneijder stunned, could it be that in such a short time, Gao Xiaodong and Pandev got along so well?

Although his teammates did not cooperate with Sneijder, but in the little time to get the ball, Sneijder still showed his super passing ability and getting rid of skills, which is not possessed by any other player in Inter Milan, even Gao Xiaodong is not as good as it, which makes Mourinho very satisfied, he believes that giving Sneijder time, Sneijder's strength can completely gain the trust of his teammates, but today's Milan derby must not let Sneijder start, that is, let him go up in the final stage to feel the atmosphere and familiarize himself with the rhythm.

After training, Mourinho held a pre-match tactical meeting to analyse the current situation and the style of play adopted in the game.

Mourinho has said it more than once, but he has to repeat it, not only to make the players remember it, but also to get them to pay attention to it.

"You can't look at AC Milan with the same old eyes, after half a season, they are much stronger than before, AC Milan just beat Juventus 3-0 in the last round, they are in very good shape, don't expect too much about the scoreline in this game, just win. ”

"The referee of this game is Rocchi, I have watched him officiate our game, he is not friendly to us, plus we are currently leading too many points, if we win, the suspense of the Serie A title will disappear, which is not expected by everyone except us, so we have to prevent the referee from blowing the whistle off, crooked whistle, and control our emotions. ”

When it came to this, Mourinho did not look at Balotelli, but the players of Inter Milan looked at Balotelli intentionally or unintentionally, obviously, they thought that Mourinho's words were meant for Balotelli.

And Balotelli actually went to see Sneijder, as if Mourinho said Sneijder again, and his teammates saw him wrong.

In order to appease Gao Xiaodong, Mourinho emphasized the importance of Gao Xiaodong in the team, "Xiaodong, your position is still the forward midfield, but you can run freely, you don't have to stick to one position, other teammates must support Xiaodong, fill in for him, receive his passes, tear away the defense, instead of standing there and watching."

It's not a privilege, it's a matter of what Xiao Dong's ability is, he can play from a striker to a defender, he can help the team in any position, and we have to try to get the most out of him. ”

After finishing the tactical issues, Mourinho gave up the freedom to discuss it and left the room himself.

As soon as Mourinho left, Materazzi said: "Brothers, there is something I want to tell you, tomorrow is the coach's birthday, we must win today's Milan derby, we must use a hearty victory as a birthday gift to the coach, the coach is not thin on us, we can't add to him." ”

Zanetti said: "It's a must, from every point of view, we have to win this game and win it beautifully. "After the Milan derby win in the first leg, captain Zanetti was also a little flustered.

With the captain and vice-captain all said and done, it should be Córdoba's turn to speak, but Córdoba has been a bit conflicted with Mourinho lately, and he sat there without saying a word.

Gao Xiaodong saw that Cordoba didn't speak, he stood up and said, "Listen to the coach, the game is estimated to be difficult to play, let's not be careless, win first and then talk about beauty." ”

Quaresma said: "Xiao Dong is right, don't be careless. ”

Balotelli's IQ also nodded again and again, "Although I don't understand it, I'm too right." ”

Milito and Pandev also agreed with Gao Xiaodong's words.

Materazzi and Zanettid are highly respected, and they both say that they want to win the beautiful one, but Gao Xiaodong is different from them, and he has the approval of several teammates, which makes Sneijder even more uneasy, and for the first time he doubts whether he can compete with Gao Xiaodong.
