Chapter 676: Beautiful Counterattack
Mourinho and Ferguson have known each other for many years, they are both opponents and appreciate each other, and they know Ferguson's character and fighting style very well, and he knows how much water there is in those words reported by the media, but it is now the eve of the Champions League final, even if he knows that what the media says is all false, he can't be regarded as invisible, otherwise it will definitely affect the morale of Inter Milan players and fans.
A team of the same level as Manchester United and Inter Milan, there is basically no difference in strength, and the tactics are also well known, and the final outcome is actually determined by the on-the-spot performance, in the game, the seemingly ethereal morale will play a major role, so Mourinho and Gao Xiaodong must make a tough response.
On his Twitter, Facebook and Weibo, Mr. Gao has repeatedly responded to provocations by Ferguson, Rooney and Park Ji-sung.
"I'm a knife, I beat Manchester United and Arsenal last season, Chelsea and Barcelona this season, and I hope Manchester United can stop me this time. ”
"Wayne Rooney is a great player, but I've never been able to compete with him, and I've always wanted to go beyond Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. ”
"I don't have the title of the first person in Asia, but I don't think the champion needs to be measured by the champion at all, the champion is a medal for the strong, not a shield for the weak. ”
"The final is just around the corner, I don't like a war of words, so let's talk with our feet on the pitch. ”
Almost at the same time, Mourinho also held a press conference to launch a counterattack against his old rival Alex Ferguson.
'Manchester United are a great team, it's normal for them to reach the final and I'm very happy to play the finale of this season's Europa League with Manchester United. ”
"I've met Sir Alex Ferguson's side twice in the Champions League, my Porto eliminated Manchester United once, Ferguson knocked out my Inter Milan once last season, so we could only draw and I don't know why Sir Alex Ferguson said he would be able to beat me?"
"I don't know why Sir Alex Ferguson has to compare me with Gao Xiaodong, the coach and the players are originally one and the same, the coach can't play in person, only the players can complete the coach's tactical vision, if I'm the brain, Xiaodong is the hands and feet, he is my favorite player. ”
"I don't intend to compare Wayne Rooney with Gao Xiaodong, Rooney is good enough at Manchester United, but Gao Xiaodong is the player that any team dreams of, he can be the best player in the world. ”
Inevitably, Mourinho was asked by reporters about leaving Inter Milan to coach Real Madrid, but this time the reporter of "Roma Sport" came up with real evidence: Mourinho's original rent in Lake Como has expired, the Portuguese family does not plan to renew the lease, and his wife is looking for a new place to live in Madrid.
"The Champions League final is just around the corner, I don't want to talk about anything related to managing Real Madrid, Inter Milan is a special team, after many years of difficulties, both the club and the fans are looking forward to the Champions League title. We beat Chelsea, we eliminated Barcelona and we are the only ones in years who can stop Barcelona's progress. We also won the league and the Coppa Italia, so the final match on Saturday is just around the corner. I would say that I'm happy that I've taken this team to another level, which means that Inter already know how to win. So even if I leave, I'm sure this team will continue to be the best team in Europe to chase wins. ”
The reporter then asked Mourinho to compare Moratti and Florentino, and of course Mourinho ignored such a sensitive topic, saying: "President Moratti is a very special person for me. I would like to thank him for bringing me to Inter two years ago. I hope to see his smile and tears of happiness tomorrow as he holds the glass. I wanted to see him at Inter Milan side by side with the European Champions League and his father when he lifted the trophy. ”
Jose Mourinho's counter-attack was very beautiful and boosted the morale of the fans and players, but there is growing evidence that Mourinho is indeed very likely to leave Inter Milan, and Mourinho's words in the interview are even more ambiguous, not even saying that he may stay at Inter Milan.
Jose Mourinho is now the hottest coach in Europe, and Inter Milan's club hierarchy is helpless, Inter Milan's technical manager Blanca said, "We have this final in our minds right now, and we can't waste brain cells and energy thinking about the future." Let's win the trophy first, and then we'll talk about the rest of the future. ”
Figo, Inter's ambassador, said: "Jose Mourinho has a relentless desire to win, so if he wins the Champions League, he could go to charge Real Madrid. Of course, I don't know what the outcome will be, but I think Mourinho will definitely communicate well with President Moratti. ”
The Champions League was of great significance to Moratti, having won the Champions Cup twice in 1964 and 1965. Moratti was not yet 20 years old at the time, he went to school in Milan, he rode his bicycle through most of Milan to Meia to check the semi-finals of the Champions League, and 38 years later, Inter Milan reached the Champions League final again, and Moratti could not allow anything to affect his dream of winning the Champions League.
In an interview, Moratti was the first to refute the United's prejudice against Gao Xiaodong.
"If there is any player who is perfect, then in my mind, Xiao Dong is the perfect player, he can break through like Messi, score goals like Vieri, defend like Samuel, and even defend like Cesar, such a player, even if he takes two Rooney in exchange, I will not agree. ”
Moratti then spoke about Jose Mourinho and the Champions League final tomorrow.
'I don't think Jose Mourinho will definitely leave Inter. I still think he's the manager of Inter Milan. I don't believe the rumours and I won't give up trying to keep Mourinho. And I don't think the rumours surrounding Mourinho will affect his preparations. He's a serious professional coach and I'm sure he's going to be 100 percent committed and with the utmost enthusiasm no matter what happens. The rumours about Jose Mourinho will not affect the mentality of the Inter players, I am not afraid, I am confident that Mourinho will be able to take a huge load off the team. ”
"I don't think about the outcome of the game these days, and I don't think about what happens if I win or if I lose. As an ordinary person, I think we are lucky to have such an opportunity to give back to the fans who have been waiting for 45 years. When I stood in front of the players, I really felt that they were aware of it, so I didn't say anything encouraging to them. ”
"Who will decide the match? Gao Xiaodong is the most likely, but he is still young and has opportunities, in fact, I would prefer Zanetti. He deserves to be the star of the final because he has been helping the team professionally for 15 years!"
Inter Milan and Manchester United have no grudges, and Ferguson and Mourinho have a good relationship, so after being cheated by the media once, Ferguson did not say anything that contained attacks and provocations, and Mourinho also tacitly stopped fighting with Ferguson, and the two world-class coaches were concentrating on preparing for the Champions League final the next day, and trying to beat their opponents in the most important game of the Champions League.
