Chapter 148: Mario Balotelli, Who's That?

The next day.

The match between Inter Milan and Napoli was the last match of the league round and was a late game.

Since Mario Balotelli joined Inter Milan's youth team, it is natural that the Balotelli family has been known as Inter Milan supporters.

And as Inter Milan has achieved more and more outstanding results under Leon in recent seasons, the Balotelli family has also become a die-hard supporter of Inter Milan.

The Balotelli family had also left the house, and they used to just watch the game at home, but now that Balotelli had given them tickets, they naturally had to go to the game.

"Is there any hope for Mario to come off the bench today?" Sylvia asked her husband.

"Maybe there's a chance!" said Francis Balotelli uncertainly, knowing that Balotelli was promoted to the first team and included in the squad for this game because of the first-team striker crisis, but it is not so easy for a seventeen-year-old player to get a chance to play, and the manager will not easily send Balotelli.

In this match, the Italian Football Federation forbade Napoli fans to come to the stadium to cheer for Napoli due to security reasons, but there were still about 3,000 Napoli fans who came to Milan and gathered outside the Meazza stadium, without tickets, they could not enter.

Instead, this has created a safety hazard, with fans from both sides gathering outside the stadium to greet each other's female relatives and riot police maintaining order.

When the Balotelli family arrived outside the stadium, they saw a Napoli fan with a bloody face being dragged into a police car by security guards.

"Kids, keep up. Francis Balotelli shouted at his family.

"Hey, man, don't be afraid, this is Meacha! it's our territory!" shouted a shirtless, fat, trembling fan.

"I know, we're Inter fans!" said Francis Balotelli, pointing to the blue-and-black scarf around his neck.

"We saw it!" shouted the other man.

"Daddy, I'm a little scared. The daughter said worriedly.

"Don't be afraid!" said Francis Balotelli, "and they're all friendly. ”

At this time, in the distance, a Napoli fan rushed past the human shield of the security guards, ran over and punched the Inter Milan fan, and then turned to run, but was caught, and then was punched and kicked.

***********

Inter Milan's buses arrived at the stadium.

The players streamed out of the car, and some were in the mood to wave and smile confidently at the reporters and fans around them.

Leon has been in charge of Inter Milan for three seasons and the changes he has brought to this team are from the surface to the inside, this Inter Milan team is now quite confident and mature, and each of their players is proud and proud to be part of this championship team.

Leon was wearing a dark gray Armani trench coat with an Inter scarf around his neck, and he looked quite stylish.

As soon as he got out of the car, he was surrounded by reporters.

"Hey. Mr. Leon: Can you give me an interview?"

"Coach Leon. I have a problem......"

Leon saw that Banderas was already walking towards the locker room with the players, and he stopped, "Three questions!" and he held up three fingers.

There are so many reporters, and there are too few three questions, but the reporters dare not speak out, if they make a fuss again, this person will not be able to turn around and leave.

"There is only one striker in the team now, Diego Milito, will it have a big impact on Inter Milan!"

'Injuries and suspensions are part of the football game and there are players who are absent and it's a shame it's a loss for the team, however, we have other players who are just as important. Leon said.

'Rea said in his pre-match interview that he was happy that his opponent was in a personnel crisis and he thought it was an opportunity for Napoli, what do you think about that?

"If he thinks it's an opportunity for Napoli, then I think after the game he'll find out it's a big mistake!" said Leon, who is Napoli's manager.

"It looks like you're confident that you're going to win this fight, but where does that confidence come from, Mr. Leon?"

"My players. Leon replied with a look of pride on his face. "My team has the best players in the world, this is a top team!" said Li Ang raised a finger, "Four questions, I have answered one more question! Goodbye, journalists!"

After saying that, he ignored the reporter's 'retention' and turned to leave.

"How could he do that?"

"Do I have any questions?" complained one young journalist.

"It's his right! the right of a champion coach!" someone said as he looked at the back of the departing figure and said in a tone that taught a rookie.

***********

The Balotellis found their seat and had just taken their seats.

"That's a lot of people. Abigail Balotelli looked at the crowd around him and said that he was the eldest daughter of the Balotelli family and the sister of Balotelli.

"The family came to see the game?" asked a fan sitting next to Francis Balotelli.

"yes. "My son plays at Inter Milan. ”

"Really?" the fan was surprised, "which one?"

"Mario Balotelli!"

This fan should have paid little attention to the youth team's games, and when he heard the unfamiliar name Mario Balotelli, he thought about it and made sure he hadn't heard it.

"Mario Balotelli, who is that? This player, have any of you heard of it?" the fan asked his companion.

The companions shook their heads.

"Youth team?" someone asked uncertainly, as he seemed to remember hearing the name in the youth team news when he was browsing the club's website.

'I used to be in the youth team, now I'm in the first team. Francis Balotelli said with a serious expression.

"Uh, uh, good!" the fan nodded.

Hearing this man's perfunctory, Francis Balotelli lost the enthusiasm to continue chatting with this man.

***********

"Friends and spectators, welcome to the final match of the seventh round of the 200/2008 Serie A season, where Inter Milan host Napoli. Sky TV's gold medal commentator Ferrari's voice rang out on the TV.

"Napoli's return to the first division this season has been met with great expectations, after a 2-0 defeat to Cagliari in the first round, they announced their strong comeback in the second round with a 5-0 massacre against Udinese, and they are currently in fifth place in the league with three wins, one draw and two defeats, and are in fifth place in the league, only one point less than Roma in fourth place, and they are doing well!" said commentator Rossi.

"If Napoli's performance was a surprise, Inter's performance was too boring. Rossi continued.

"Rossi, you say that, beware of Inter Milan fans complaining about you. Ferrari joked.

"I'm not saying this derogatory, Inter Milan have won six in a row since the start of the season, and it's boring to have a consistent performance, and people are already worried that the suspense of this season's Serie A title will be lost soon. Rossi laughed and said, "There may be an accident in this round of the league, Inter Milan has suffered a serious striker crisis, and it will be interesting to see if the Napolitans can cause problems for Inter Milan." ”
