2:2。

Inter Milan was ridiculed by the Italian sports media. Almost all the Italian media unanimously criticized Inter's poor performance, and almost all newspapers used one word - "ugly".

"Milan Sports Newspaper" used extremely spicy words, although it was only a draw, but it was no different from defeat, "Titanic sank in Austria, this night Inter Milan lost everything, the game, the championship, the face...... Lose everything! I can't imagine a team with Vieri and Ronaldo like this! "The newspaper article said pessimistically, don't lie to us anymore, we won't continue to expect, Inter Milan is never worth looking forward to, have they given us even a little bit of confidence?

"Milan Sport" is very unfriendly to Mourinho, and this time it seized the opportunity to criticize Mourinho and Moratti - Moratti quickly paid a huge price for his adventure, how can a rookie manager with no Champions League experience lead this Inter Milan team? Even the weakest opponents in the qualifying rounds were unable to win, and even if they did qualify for the main round, they would have to stop at the group stage of the Champions League. Jose Mourinho's tactics are even more ugly, what does he bring to this team? There was no sign of a strong team who defended in Austria for 90 minutes and if Vieri hadn't taken two chances, Inter might have lost the game outright. The Portuguese did not know the art of defense at all.

Other Italian media also believe that Mourinho's line-up and on-the-spot command for this game are problematic, and "La Repubblica" echoes the news of "Milan Sport", which predicts that Mourinho is likely to be unable to continue coaching, at most there is one game left - if he can't win Graz at home, Mourinho is likely to become the shortest-lived manager in the history of Inter Milan, Moratti absolutely can't tolerate the team not being able to participate in this season's Champions Cup, and dismissal has become the only option, but it is already too late, Moratti could lose $50 million a season.

Sky Italia analyzed after the game that although Mourinho admitted in his post-match press conference that he must take responsibility for the draw, in fact, Mourinho did not admit his mistake. Moratti's mood cannot be described as "sad" alone, what decision will the Inter boss make under the complex emotions of disappointment, resentment, feeling cheated and so on? Trust the current team or another purge?

A draw put Inter Milan on the cusp in an instant.

Rookie Mourinho faced the verbal criticism of media reporters, but he was extremely determined.

Speaking to Sky Sports, Mourinho said: "We were good, we were two goals ahead, we played a good 45 minutes, but we didn't concentrate enough in the second half. I don't think we're used to winning right now, and we have to focus on winning and at Meazza it won't happen again. ”

'We're going to qualify for the Champions League, there's no doubt about that, and those who want to see our jokes won't get their way.'

"We'll see."

Mourinho's strong response was once again ridiculed by the news media, and "Roma Sport" even thought that Moratti invited a person who did not know the height of the sky, maybe this is really a match for Moratti?

"Torino Sport" also said: Juventus's competitors are AC Milan and Lazio, as well as Roma, there is no need to consider Inter Milan at all, and the choice of Mourinho already means that Inter Milan has chosen to withdraw.

It's all red fruit that is not optimistic about Mourinho!

None of that was enough to crush a determined Mourinho, but when he drove through the street and many Inter fans yelled at him, it tasted a little different.

"Hey, please go back to Portugal,"

"You liar,"

"You don't understand anything,"

"You're going to disqualify us from the Champions Cup!"

"Get out of here, get your pay!"

……

……

It's unsightly, it's unpleasant.

Mourinho returned home with a blank face, locked the door of the house and closed all the curtains. He didn't come to Italy for a long time, but he learned the level of the paparazzi here, and he liked to peep into the private lives of celebrities, even at home, there might be paparazzi doing something sneaky outside, so he quickly learned how to protect himself.

He grabbed the phone and called Zheng Zhi.

Zheng Zhi was surprised.

Because it was the first time I received a call from Mourinho, it was the first 'intimate contact' between the two people. ’

"When you're done, fly back to Milan as soon as you finish."

"The team needs you."

Just two simple explanations.

He needs Zheng Zhi, but he can't say he needs it, but Inter Milan needs him.

"Protect yourself and don't get hurt."

……

……

After hanging up the phone, Mourinho went to the refrigerator and took a bottle of drink and took two sips, then complained to himself.

"Ah, damn it."

"I thought the Chinese team would be eliminated in the group stage."

"As a result, I won the first place in the group, miscalculated, miscalculated, ah, ah~"

This time he finally exposed his true emotions inside.

yes

He thought that after three rounds of the group stage, the Chinese team would be eliminated by Spain and Chile, and then Zheng Zhi would be able to fly back to Milan to prepare for the second leg of the knockout round. Paralyzed, even Spain can be killed, the strength of the Chinese team is too strong, Mourinho originally wanted to rely on Zheng Zhi, but depending on this situation, the Chinese Olympic Games may continue to play......

The joke is too big, and now he even thinks that China may reach the final round?

I don't know...... Can you hold out until Zheng Zhi comes back......

Although he is a rather conceited, confident guy! But there are also ups and downs in the heart......

-------------------------------------

-------------------------------------

Allianz Stadium, Sydney.

China VS Nigeria.

The first quarter-final was played first.

The main force of the Chinese team is exhausted, and there is no difference between the main lineup of Horton today and the third game.

Goalkeeper Chen Xi.

Defenders Sun Jihai, Li Weifeng, Fan Zhiyi, Tao Wei.

Midfielders Zhao Junzhe, Zheng Zhi, Li Yin, Shao Jiayi.

Forwards Li Yi and Qu Peng.

"There are a lot of newcomers on the Nigerian side, such as Joseph Yabo, Dan Hittu, Rabiu, Seyi, Daniel, Olofenhana and so on."

"These players were all born in 1980, and if they play in the Olympics, they are still a little young, like the Chinese National Olympics, many players are already 23 years old, and Zheng Zhi is still very young."

"There are even smaller, several born in 1981, and this team is the youngest in the Olympics."

"Nigeria was the champion of the last Atlanta Olympics, but it is clearly not as strong as the last one. I feel that the Chinese team has no problem winning them. ”

Before the opening, Huang Jianxiang was still very optimistic about the Chinese Olympic Games.

"If we can win against Nigeria, China will be able to reach the semi-finals, and then the opponents will be Italy or Chile. Most likely to Italy. ”

Huang Jianxiang is already thinking about the semi-finals......

"Zhao Junzhe started today, thinking about defense, Zhao Junzhe's defensive ability is much stronger than Li Ming, I feel that the position of Tao Committee is a bit weak, and the other positions are very good, and I don't suffer from Nigeria's physical confrontation."

"If we can withstand the onslaught of Nigeria......"

……

……

As soon as the game began, Nigeria came up and launched a fierce attack on the Chinese team.

The double strikers composed of Odenmwini and Amobi played very actively, and the two used their speed to impact the back line of the Chinese team, while Nigeria's attacking tactics were very simple, that is, side crosses and long passes, British style of play!

They did think of the Chinese team too simply.

After the game was played for more than ten minutes, the Nigerian fans who watched the sky were stunned.

"It's not that the players of the Chinese team are not in good shape?"

"God?"

"Those two central defenders overwhelmed Odenmwingi and Am'Obi?"

"It's not confrontational at all."

"Am I looking at the embossing? The right-back is also very good, and he is very fast, Daniel is like Big Ben. ”

Nigerian fans couldn't believe their eyes.

Although it seemed that the team suppressed the Chinese team in the half, all the attacks did not pose any threat in the end, and were defused by the Chinese team's backline.

The performances of Fan Zhiyi, Li Weifeng and Sun Jihai are too outstanding, and all the highs have been resolved by Fan Zhiyi and Li Weifeng, while Sun Jihai is more reflected in the individual defense. Two Premier League players and a Bundesliga player have given Nigeria what it means to be a top-tier defence.

During this time, the Chinese team's offense was relatively flat, except for Zheng Zhi who gave Qu Peng a two-foot overhead pass, there was no substantial attack on both sides. Shao Jiayi and Zhao Junzhe have no advantage in speed, they are more about pulling the side and cooperating with the feint attack in the middle.

However, the defense is worry-free, and the Chinese team is playing very steadily.

In the 21st minute, Huang Jianxiang's most worried Tao Wei instigated the attack of the Chinese team, when he took the ball on the left side, he boldly knocked the ball to Zheng Zhi with a heel action, Zheng Zhi was sent out of a through ball by Qu Peng after taking the ball for the first time!

Qu Peng took the ball outside the penalty area and took a step forward, just in time to rush into the Nigerian penalty area, but the opposing central defender Joseph couldn't help but pull down Qu Pin.

"Penalty!"

"The ball must have been fouled, the pulling action was so obvious."

"Qu Peng's clothes are about to be torn apart, and there is no problem with the penalty."

Zheng Zhi stood on the penalty spot, and it was done in one fell swoop, there was no suspense at all, and the upper right corner was his favorite position to shoot, and the goalkeeper just couldn't save it.

Huang Jianxiang sighed: "I feel that Zheng Zhi's penalty is quite stable. ”

'I've seen him take so many penalties and he's shot into the top right corner of the goal except for the spoon. Every shot is missed, and the goalkeeper can't do anything. I don't know how long he practiced. ”

"The goalkeeper has probably studied it, but there is no way, you can't touch the ball."

"Baggio should learn from Zheng Zhi."

……

……

With this penalty, the Chinese team took the lead.

Then, the Chinese team continued to put most of their experience on defense, allowing Nigeria to go on a rampage.

At halftime, the score was still 1:0, and Nigeria grabbed the half, but got nothing.

The Chinese team had 1 shot and 1 goal, Nigeria completed 6 shots, 1 hit the woodwork, and 10 crosses, all of which were cleared by Fan Zhiyi and Li Weifeng.

Steady!

"It's scary."

"I don't think they're any different from us, huh?"

In the dressing room, Pirlo marveled at the defensive ability of the Chinese team.

"Those guards are too steady."

"The Nigerian striker couldn't touch the ball at all, except for a long-range shot that didn't go wide."

"Hmm," Ambrosini nodded approvingly.

"Their defense is not inferior to ours."

"It's a really tough opponent and I found that no, they didn't give it their all in attack, Zheng Zhi kept the tempo in control and was draining Nigeria's energy and energy."

"That's the scariest thing."

"Nigeria is lost." Ambrosini is such an old club, and the problem is very sharp.

"Not doing your best?"

Pirlo was slightly startled, "You mean they can actually fight a little harder?" ”

"Yes, it's not the strongest of them, they're hiding their strength."

'The African players are fit, they have to do it and they will continue to play like that in the second half.

Ambrosini was right, the Chinese team just didn't use their best, they did put more energy on defense and didn't put too much into attack. Horton's tactical thinking is very clear, which is to play defensive counter-attacks, and he is full of confidence in the backline led by Fan Zhiyi.

Liverpool's main central defenders, Arsenal's right-backs and Eintracht Frankfurt's central defenders can't deal with two rookies? No way. In the middle of the midfield composed of Li Yin and Zheng Zhi, as long as there is enough patience, there is no problem at all.

Yibian fought again, the Chinese team did not make substitutions, while Nigeria directly replaced the two forwards, and the two forwards in the first half were simply sleepwalking, and the confrontation was completely inferior.

But substitutions didn't work either.

The new striker is still difficult to use under Fan Zhiyi's domineering defense.

After 20 minutes, Nigeria finally slowed down the tempo of their attack. Although the physical fitness is very good, it will decline after all.

The Chinese team has been playing Tai Chi with them, which has consumed their vitality. And Horton also began to make substitution adjustments, Sui Xiliang came on the field to replace Shao Jiayi, Hao Haixi came up to replace Li Yi, and Nigeria had another striker and adjusted the formation to 343, which was going to be the last to play fate.

However, this did not help Nigeria to score, and the Nigerian backline was repeatedly attacked by the Chinese team, Hao Haixi got the first chance to hit the goal just two minutes later, but his shot was weak.

Qu Peng then got a chance to hit the goal, Sui Xiliang sent the ball to the right side of the Nigerian penalty area on the left side, Qu Pinyu jumped to the top and failed to get the ball right.

At the last moment, Zheng Zhi also had a chance.

His lob from the middle almost made the Nigerian goalkeeper hate the pitch.

In the end, the Chinese Olympic team won Nigeria 1:0 and advanced to the semifinals of the Olympic Games in a low-key manner.

After the game, the Nigerian coach said at a press conference.

'There was no problem with the penalty.

"It's not that penalty that's upset for me,"

'It was the whole game where we barely created a decent shot on goal.

"The Chinese team is too strong,"

'They have a world-class backline.

"You know, I basically didn't see Zheng Zhi play any way today. Or is it not yet necessary for him to play? ”

"They're going to be the strongest contenders."

"I think their next opponent will be tragic too."
