Chapter 278: It's Excitement, Not Nervousness (Alliance Leader [Tang Da Hammer Hammer Hammer] Plus 4/11)

Meanwhile, in the dressing room at Inter Milan, Leon was saying the same thing.

"This game, I've been looking forward to it for a long time, guys. I'm sure you're just as excited as I am! After passing Barcelona, we will once again step on the stage of the Champions League final!"

"Since a year ago, when we were out in the quarters, I was looking forward to making a comeback! because I was upset, because last year's exit, there were constant arguments in the media: 'Inter Milan is not good', 'Inter Milan are eliminated, look, this is their real strength'...... I bet many of you have heard that, right?"

One of the players couldn't help but nod.

After last season's Champions League exit, it was all the same in the media, no one was going to talk about Inter's glory at the top of Europe in the 2005/2006 season, they would only say that Inter were now losers, outs.

A smile appeared on Leon's face: "I've been waiting, waiting for this day, we are going to reach the Champions League final again, on that highest final stage, use the championship to silence those bastards who question us for no reason! Now, this is the semi-final! Our opponent is Barcelona, our defeated opponent back then, and now, this defeated player actually wants to step on us to pass, who do they think they are?! They were delusional, they could only watch us on the podium with their eyes, and now we can beat them too!"

"Beat Barcelona!"

"Get a ticket to the finals!" Li Ang raised his arms, his expression was a little excited, and shouted.

"Victory!"

"Finals!"

He was met with roars of excitement from the players.

"So I trust you. I've been looking forward to this game for a long time, right?!"

He asked aloud.

"Yes!!" the players replied loudly.

"Very well then, guys, go ahead, use your feet to show them that we can step on them for the championship, and we can step on them again and take away the victory!" Leon roared loudly as he raised his arms sharply.

Then, the dressing room was violently pushed away, and the Inter players gasped and rushed out, not like they were going to the stadium, but more like they were entering the battlefield!

***********

"According to the information we have received, Juan Carlos came to Barcelona overnight, and it is clear that after the mental torment and joy experienced by the father of a child, as well as physical exhaustion, it is obvious that Carlos cannot be in a good state now, but now we see Carlos' name in the starting list!"

"Coach Leon insisted on sending Juan Carlos, but was his insistence right this time?"

Before the start of the game, when introducing the starting lists of the two sides, Carlos appeared in the starting list, which became the biggest surprise, and the commentators analyzed it for everyone.

"We all know that Leon is a very individual, with a tough personality, and a self-centered person. Of course, this may be the reason why he became a top champion coach at such a young age, but this time, choosing to trust Carlos, who is clearly not in the best physical condition, will he be right to insist this time? His opponent this time is Barcelona, who are determined to take revenge, you know, this is the Camp Nou!"

The players got up and walked out.

Banderas looked at the players' backs and said to Leon, "Juan looks a little nervous. Carlos was a little silent today.

"Nervous?" Leon shook his head, he had a different opinion, "To be exact, it should be excited." ”

Excited? Why?

Banderas was puzzled.

Leon didn't explain anything, and if he had to say who knew Carlos best, he had to say.

He remembered the first time he met this kid, when he was the manager of Real Madrid's under-17 team, Carlos was still a player of the Getafe youth team, and Carlos left a very deep impression on him in that game.

When the whole team has given up, this kid is still holding on.

This is a kid with a very strong personality, and as long as Carlos is on the court, he will fight to the end.

Since the team doctor Lucatelli thinks that Carlos's physical condition meets the requirements for playing, Leon will not be too worried, besides, he also observed that although Carlos still looks a little tired, the whole person is in good spirits, which is like a steel bar, which looks inconspicuous, but is very resistant to pressure.

"This kid is now the father of a child. Leon said suddenly.

Banderas was stunned for a moment, and then, he understood what Leon meant, and he nodded and left.

***********

Juan Carlos was in the starting line-up. We don't deny Carlos's quality, this young man is undoubtedly the best defensive midfielder in world football today, but we all know what the two days have been through for this player, mental pressure or fatigue after exuberance, fatigue from the journey, I don't think Carlos should start now, but obviously, Coach Leon chose to trust Carlos, just as he has always trusted this player, so in this important game, will Leon's trust be rewarded?"

In the press gallery, reporters were also talking.

There was a smile on the faces of some of the reporters, they were all waiting to see Leon and Inter Milan's jokes, and if Carlos didn't perform well and Inter Milan lost, they would definitely scream and start a storm of criticism.

When Leon was at Sporting Gijón, he had a bad relationship with many Spanish media, and now, the head coach of the Serie A giants is rightfully called the enemy of Spanish journalists, and they can't wait to 'beat the water dogs'.

Barcelona's starting goalkeeper today is still Valdés, at the back, Zambrotta at right-back, Abidal at left-back, Gabriel Milito and Marcos at centre-back, their captain Puyol is still injured and unavailable, in midfield, Xavi and Yaya Toure as well as Messi and Iniesta, and up front with Thierry Henry and Samuel Eto'o. ”

Leon saw Barcelona's starting lineup, and he was also happy, unlike Inter Milan's midfielder and Muntari, a strong player, Barcelona's midfielder only has Yaya Toure, a player with defensive ability, and, in Leon's view, Yaya Toure can attack and defend well, but this also shows that Yaya Toure is not a pure defensive player, such a midfield configuration, Rijkaard's idea is obvious, that is, he doesn't think about defense at all, and wants to eat Inter Milan in one bite.
