Spain, Alawi.

At 1,131 meters above sea level, Ávila is the highest city in Spain. It is an ancient city that retains its medieval appearance. The ancient city walls are the symbol of the city, and the city's cathedral is the oldest Gothic church in Spain. There are also a large number of Renaissance and Gothic churches, monasteries and so on. The Alcázar Castle, built in the 15th century, is also a highlight of the city. The city still retains its Christian heritage, with the walls of Avila being the oldest, built by Christians in the 11th century to defend against Muslims.

The early morning sun shone on this beautiful old city, and a middle-aged man sat on a sofa in the park, looking at the church in the distance, frowning, he felt like he was about to rust.

Not far away, his wife and children were walking their dogs, and there was a burst of laughter, and he felt that he really did not fit in with this wonderful scene.

"Mr. Mourinho, can you sign my name?" said a little boy timidly running over, holding a notebook and a pen in his hand.

"It's a great honor. Mourinho shrugged his shoulders and, after signing the paper, ignored the little boy who ran away excitedly and left himself in a daze.

That's right, this middle-aged man is Portugal's famous coach and former Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho.

Since leaving class in September last year, the whereabouts of the famous coach have been in the spotlight. Barcelona, Real Madrid, the Portuguese national team and even a return to Chelsea are all in the media speculation, but Mourinho seems to have disappeared from the media's sight.

At this point, it has been seven months since Jose Mourinho was sacked from Chelsea.

The Guardian once used the word "forced" to describe the nature of Mourinho's dismissal, and indeed, as far as Mourinho himself is concerned, he may be reluctant to give up on a team that has been deeply imprinted on his tactical thinking. Under his tutelage, Chelsea have become a scrupulous iron army that is difficult to find the slightest mistake. But on the other hand: Chelsea are becoming one of the most boring teams in Europe. Abu is tired of too many narrow victories, and last year's FA Cup alone could not satisfy the appetite of the Russians.

The BBC's commentary at the time also said that the relationship between Mourinho and Abou was reduced to an all-time low last season, and all the friendship and peace were only superficial. When Chelsea's performance is unsatisfactory, Mourinho automatically submits his resignation. Generally speaking, changing a manager just a month into the new season is not something a mature club should do, and having so-called "crisis talk" in the context of an unbeaten first Champions League game is a bit of a fuss. Mourinho's dismissal only shows that Abu no longer tolerates living with him.

In the eyes of the media, this departure is a failed decision for both parties, and the British media claim that Mourinho has no other benefit than to receive a high liquidated damages, while Abou has to face the pain of a huge change in the team. Chelsea are likely to pay the price for this easy change of manager with a season's worth of results. But no matter what, it can't change the fact that the wood is already in the boat, and the only way to lead the Blues is to move forward in groping!

However, now, at this moment, Mourinho has a newspaper in his hands, the latest Marca, which reports that Chelsea have eliminated Fenerbahce to reach the semi-finals of the 2007/2008 Champions League. Interim manager Grant looks to be doing a better job than Jose Mourinho, at least, from this Chelsea team, there is no such panic as everyone predicted after Mourinho's departure, and Chelsea seem to be closer than ever to the top of Europe......

***********

Hum!

Annoyed, Mourinho crumpled the newspaper and threw it at his feet.

Just then, his cell phone rang.

Jose Mourinho picked up his phone and looked at the caller ID, and his eyebrows furrowed: it was a call from his friend and agent, Jorge Mendes.

Jose Mourinho answered the phone.

"Hi Jose. Mendes' voice came, "Your vacation looks like it's coming to an end." ”

"Jorge, I said, I don't want to work in the short term. "Mourinho frowned, the 'divorce' from Chelsea is a big blow to him, he has injected a lot of heart and soul into this team.

"Don't rush to say no just yet. "There's an offer you didn't expect." I think you might be interested. ”

"Come on, old man, you said the same from the previous Portugal national team and Barcelona. Mourinho said with a smile that in a short period of time, he did not want to coach the national team, and as for Barcelona, after the initial contact with the side, the two sides terminated the talks because of the big differences, and then Mourinho learned that Barcelona had not actually made up its mind to invite him to coach, and Barcelona wanted to directly promote Guardiola to the position. This makes Mourinho very unhappy, he is Mourinho, but he is not a spare tire, let alone a spare tire for a rookie like Guardiola.

"It was indeed an unexpected invitation. "A name you can't think of." ”

"Okay, you can talk about it. "I'll see if I'll be surprised." ”

Mendes then said the name of the club, and Mourinho's expression changed, and he had to admit that it was indeed an unexpected name and an offer.

"I didn't hear that guy had a stiff relationship with Inter Milan. Mourinho wondered, "That guy just led Inter Milan to the last four with Arsenal." ”

"Who knows. "But, José, I suggest you think about it...... It was a good invitation. ”

Mourinho on the other end of the phone was silent, his expression changing again and again, and his eyes flickering......

“Gooooooooooooooooooooaaaaal！”

"Diego Milito, this is his 19th goal of the season in Serie A!" shouted the commentator Ferrari, "a brilliant volley! Inter Milan 2-0 at home to Fiorentina!

On the turf of the Meazza Stadium, Diego Milito ran with open arms in celebration, and behind him was a tidal wave of his teammates.

It was the 33rd round of the 2007/2008 Serie A season, where Inter Milan played Fiorentina at home.

In the first half, McCone's long-range shot gave Inter Milan the lead.

Not long into the second half, Diego Milito received a pass from Juan Mata and fired home to make it 2-0 for Inter Milan!

"If we can win this game, it will be Inter Milan's 32nd match in Serie A this season, and in the 33rd round of the league, they have won the other 32 games except for the draw with Lazio!" Rossi exclaimed, "This is a great achievement!

That's right, as the commentator said, Leon has once again rotated a certain amount of time in the league against Fiorentina because the team is preparing for the semi-finals of the Coppa Italia in the middle of next week.

Although the Serie A giants generally do not attach importance to the Italian Cup, but in the case that the league has won the championship in advance, since the Italian Cup has reached the semi-finals, Inter Milan is naturally unwilling to let go of such a championship trophy.

The league has already been won, the Coppa Italia can also win the final title, and the Champions League they are aiming for, if these titles can be achieved, they will win the treble again after a season, which is a great feat that no team in the history of Italian football has ever achieved!

In the end, thanks to goals from McCone and Diego Milito, Inter Milan beat Fiorentina 2-0 at home and won the 33rd round of Serie A.

***********

At the post-match press conference, the media mentioned the topic of the 'treble' to the Inter Milan manager, and Leon did not respond positively to this, nor did he directly deny it, but said ambiguously, "Of course we want to keep winning, and come back to see what we have achieved after the season, and then everything will be clear." ”

Although Li Ang's words can be said to be more euphemistic, in the subsequent description of the media, they unified their voices.

"Leon says Inter Milan are aiming for the treble!" – Roma Sport

"Leon is arrogant again, the Triple Crown?" - Torino Sports Newspaper

"With three consecutive Serie A titles, the Coppa Italia semi-finals and the UEFA Champions League semi-finals, it looks like Inter Milan coach Leon is confident that he can hold all three trophies in his hands......" – Sport Milan.

Not only the Italian media, but also other European media paid attention to the Italian side of the report, which even caused some waves.

The pro-Barcelona Catalan media "Daily Sport" criticized Leon for being too arrogant and lacking respect for his opponents, and strongly called on Barcelona to teach Leon a good lesson in the game, this time to settle the old and new accounts together.

Obviously, as Inter Milan's opponent in the semi-finals of the Champions League, the Barcelona people are extremely dissatisfied with Leon actually crossing the Barcelona level directly and aiming directly for the final and the championship trophy.

***********

In fact, the situation in Barcelona can be said to be relatively bad right now.

It is Florentino's policy to have a superstar a year, Calderón did not inherit the legacy of his predecessors, but Laporta learned defeat from his sworn enemy, it should be said that Begilistan and Soliano were successful in recruiting last summer, and Toure-Yaya, Milito and Abidal have all become indispensable mainstays for Barcelona this season, but Henry's introduction is really debatable. The fourth superstar has become an unstable factor in the Barcelona dressing room, and the Frenchman has not performed too well on the pitch anymore, most of the time, Barcelona still rely on Messi, Eto'o and even Bojan to play the world.

In the summer of 2006, Barcelona let go of the veteran Larsson, and then purged Van Bommel to Bayern Munich, and in the summer of 2007, Barcelona let go of the Parisian hero Belletti, attacking defender Van Bronckhorst, and the only pure winger Gyuli, so in fact, Barcelona's squad that has performed well in the last two seasons has gone halfway in the two summers, and when these pragmatic players have left, the run-in pain brought by the addition of newcomers has made Barcelona suffer。

In addition, to add insult to injury, for Barcelona, injuries within the team also came unexpectedly.

Puyol's injury at the end of the 2006/07 season was just the beginning of a massive injury run at Barca, with Samuel Eto'o injured in the Jamber Cup, Messi injured at the Mestalla, Toure injured in the Africa Cup of Nations, Ronaldinho, Deco and Thierry Henry all the same, and towards the end of the season, Dos Santos and Milito went down again. Injuries are tormenting Barca's modest squad, and Rijkaard is often stretched thin when it comes to the formation of his squad, knowing that the likes of Ascuello, Gudjohnson and Edmilson are simply overwhelmed.

If Barcelona also suffered from injuries when it was brilliant, then this season's more serious disaster than injuries is internal friction, in fact, this tradition has a long history at Camp Nou, Eto'o broke out at the end of last season The bombardment of the goal completely opened the contradictions in the Barcelona dressing room, although Laporta had sworn to announce a so-called Ten Commandments, but the new season's locker room consumption has increased unabated, Rijkaard's weak character has contributed to the arrogance of the players to a certain extent, Edmilson's black sheep goal, Deco's nightclub goal, Ronaldinho's fake injury goal, Eto'o's strike goalHow can such a chaotic locker room have the so-called cohesion?

Barca's dressing room was already far from peaceful, and to make matters worse, the Camp Nou fans and the Catalan media had long since run out of patience, and the boos that Deco, Samuel Eto'o and Thierry Henry were just a special case in the final game at Camp Nou, which was just a concentrated outburst of frustration from the fans, including the white handkerchiefs that flew all over the sky before, and the Camp Nou fans were already extremely disappointed in this team. The Catalan media has not played a good role either, Cruyff's role as the conductor behind the scenes is becoming more and more disgusting, the frequent transfer rumours and dressing room scandals have also caused the club quite a headache, and Laporta has repeatedly made stupid moves at critical moments, without a good external environment, it is difficult for Barcelona to recover. It was in this context that Leon would get Deco from Barcelona at a small price.

***********

Of course, in the eyes of the Barcelona media, the biggest problem for the entire Barcelona team is the overwhelm of head coach Rijkaard.

Since 2005/ In the eyes of the Barcelona media, Barcelona's 4-3-3 or Rijkaard's tactical weakness was broken by Leon, and the black swan forgot a very important thing, the team's tactics are built around the players, and after the large-scale personnel changes, many people are not suitable for 4-3-3, Henry is the best example of this, and at critical moments, Rijkaard obviously lacks flexibility, maybe it's because of poor donkey skills or maybe it's a lack of courage, anyway, the Barcelona media don't look down on Rijkaard now, and rumors about Rijkaard's departure from class will be heated up almost every few weeks.

It's no wonder that Barcelona people are dissatisfied, La Liga has been played for thirty-two rounds, Barcelona has six rounds left in the league, 9 points behind the leader Real Madrid, and now, they are all their hopes for the season on the Champions League title, in this case, Leon actually 'crazy' and 'locked' the UEFA Champions League title, which makes the Barcelona people who have long been angry with Leon.

"Want the championship, ask us if we say yes!" Barcelona media angrily denounced Leon.

In this regard, some enthusiastic media reporters 'conveyed' the angry denunciations from Barcelona to Li Ang, Li Ang was stunned, he was thinking now about the Italian Cup semi-finals with Lazio, and the Champions League semi-finals with Barcelona There is still a week left, he didn't expect Barcelona to make a fuss at this time.

'I'm thinking about the game against Lazio now. Leon frowned and said, "Barcelona? ”

The conscience of heaven and earth, Li Ang really didn't mean to look down on Barcelona this time, he was just telling the truth.

However, in the description of the Catalan media, Leon's words completely changed and became 'Leon is so arrogant that there is no Barcelona in his eyes'......
