During the international break, most of the players in Inter Milan's first team returned home to play, and only a few players such as Zheng Zhi stayed in the training base. Mourinho's training requirements for the players who stay in the team are not too high, it is a simple basic training to ensure that the body is healthy and healthy, waiting for the upcoming Italian national derby.

Of course, Mourinho is more worried about those players who return to play, not only in form, but also in the possibility of new injuries, which will be bad for the upcoming national derby.

Zheng Zhi was relaxed, he simply ran to the youth team to see Dong Fangzhuo and them, after all, the future Chinese national team is here.

As soon as he was interested, he simply joined the team and formed the Chinese team with Dong Fangzhuo to play against the Inter Milan youth team. Originally, it was just a game of tickets, but I didn't expect the game to have an amazing result.

The Chinese team actually defeated the Inter Milan youth team 5:3.

With Zheng Zhi sitting in the midfield, although the Chinese team was not at a disadvantage in the game, it played quite steadily, Dong Fangzhuo scored a hat trick in the game, Zheng Zhi sent a scalpel to Dong Fangzhuo three times, and Dong Fangzhuo smiled and accepted it one by one.

There were not many people watching the game, but many of them were scouts from various European giants, including scouts from the Premier League giants Manchester United, who met Dong Fangzhuo again.

"This Dong,"

"It seems stronger than we thought."

"If there is a midfielder behind him who is dedicated to feeding him the ball, the goal is like a probe?"

The two United scouts spoke privately.

"But it's Zheng standing behind him, is it someone else?"

"Why can't Scholes? He can certainly feed beautiful balls as well. ”

After the game, Zheng Zhi invited all the players of the Chinese team to a local Chinese restaurant for dinner, which can be regarded as a reward for these young guys. During the meal, Zheng Zhi once again inspired everyone, hoping that everyone can work hard, train hard, and strive to sign a professional contract with a European club as soon as possible.

In China, the appointment of the coach of the Chinese team has also caused great repercussions.

The news that the Football Association wants to appoint Crawford as the coach of the Chinese national team has spread, but many so-called experts have jumped out to express their opinions, believing that Crawford is too old, and his tactical concept is definitely not as good as Zhu Guanghu, who has been following Houghton.

Shenma's "Sports Weekly", "Football News", and Sohu.com are all on Zhu Guanghu's side. This came as a big surprise to the leaders of the Football Association.

The pressure of public opinion has to be considered.

In the end, the Football Association bigwig betrayed Zheng Zhi......

He confessed the whole process of chatting with Zheng Zhi in front of the media......

Zheng Zhi was embarrassed.

Zhu Guanghu was also embarrassed.

Zhu Guanghu naturally knew that the reason why he couldn't serve as the coach of the national team was precisely because of Zheng Zhi's words......

Zheng Zhi doesn't know, he hasn't read the domestic news, he has already started to prepare for the Italian national derby, and Zhu Guanghu will not be stupid enough to call Zheng Zhi to question him......

※※※※

Italy's defeat to Wales has been a big blow to the Apennines' self-esteem this week, but the Italians, who have always focused on the domestic league, are soon finding a new thrill, and this Saturday the national derby kicks off with the Nerazzurri Inter Milan and the black and white division Juventus for the first Serie A game of the season.

This may have been the result that was expected when the season's fixtures were handed down, or perhaps it was the current results of the two teams that had stimulated their respective fans, and the tickets for the Meazza game had already been snapped up.

Although the ticket window has long been tightly closed, many fans who did not wait for tickets are still standing there and unwilling to leave.

Of the total number of tickets, about 50,000 have already been delivered to Inter fans who have booked season tickets, and about 25,000 have been sold through the club's ticket windows, the Banco Massacre di Milano, which has long represented some of Inter's tickets, and Milan's agencies that specialize in all types of ticketing.

Juventus fans from afar were treated very well, and more than 5,000 tickets were still reserved for them despite the popularity of the tickets. There could have been 3,000 more spare seats, but due to the importance of the game, fans on both sides were excited early, and the on-site security personnel left a quarantine area of more than 3,000 seats between the fans of both sides in order to prevent accidents.

The fans who can't get into the stadium to watch the game are still not giving up, and many people have chosen scalpers, and there is really no way but to act early and hope for the next meeting between the two sides in Turin.

In this big game, Inter Milan is still full of injuries, Vieri is still plagued by muscle strains and ankle sprains, Materazzi is still not in the squad, Buffon may return, and after returning from the national competition, Zanetti has muscle fatigue, Gresco and Carvalho seem to need rest. Mourinho couldn't make many adjustments, but luckily Arjen Robben, Ronaldo Jr. and Adriano were still alive and kicking......

Although Adriano was revealed to have spent the night with his two girls after the game when he was back to play, Mourinho, who was far away in Italy, did not hear it, and he now needs the fighting power of his young lover......

Juventus are not doing much either, with French centre-forward Trezeguet also suffering from a knee injury, Di Vaio also likely to be sidelined, and Uruguayan defender Montero has just undergone surgery to repair the meniscus in his left knee and will miss at least nine games even according to the most optimistic estimates. Without such a defensive giant, Lippi's lineup at the back became overstretched.

Juventus boss Lippi was relieved at his press conference on Friday for the first watershed game of the season: "We admit there is pressure, but will we be prepared for more than 10 minutes. We all know the significance of this game, but the result is not decisive for the whole season, we are only in the fifth round and even if we are seven points behind Inter, we will not cut the championship logo off our clothes and give it to them. ”

Lippi believes that a win at Meazza will naturally boost morale and confidence, although Juventus are not serious about the result. This is also to reduce the pressure on the players. Speaking about the situation of the team, Lippi showed his fox nature again, "The doctor has agreed that Di Vaio can play, but Trezeguet's injury is not yet healed, and he will not be able to play until next Wednesday's Champions Cup." ”

When asked by a reporter whether the performance of the Italian national team would affect the mood of the main players, Lippi replied: "Even if they are only 50 per cent, it is enough for us, and they are all recovering quite well. ”

In the end, Lippi did not forget to continue to put pressure on the opponent, he said: "According to Inter's recent performances, after they win one game, they will definitely not win the next game, so this game, they will probably lose, the last time they lost to Lyon in Meazza, this time it will be the same, home is nothing for them." ”

Mourinho was much more low-key than Lippi's smug press conference, but Mourinho also said that Inter Milan had never been afraid of losing against Juventus. Mourinho said: "The match against Juventus is one of the most important games and the whole of Italy is watching this fierce battle in different ways and I am sure it will be a good game. ”

"I'm going to play with the attacking three of Ronaldo, Adriano and Robben, Gianluigi Buffon is ready to play, Zanetti and they're recovering well, I think two days will be enough for them to come back to their senses......"

Well, it's just Mourinho's self-comfort, how can the situation at Inter Milan be so optimistic?

The next morning, when he announced the squad for the game, Vieri, Materazzi, Zanetti and Buffon were not in the squad, and Inter Milan was almost missing more than half of the main players.

But even so, Inter Milan waited for Juventus' arrival in Meazza. At home, the two opponents that Inter Milan is most reluctant to lose are AC Milan in the same city and Juventus.

The atmosphere in the dressing room was supposed to be tense, but there were two guys who had been loudly discussing an unrelated game.

"Damn,"

"That guy is definitely blindsided,"

"Good luck!"

"I don't think it's luck, you look at his physical confrontation, his movement and his passing, he definitely has been trained a long time ago, Arsenal didn't lose at all, they were too underestimated, I thought the young players were not enough threat."

"What are you guys discussing? Looks like you just watched a great game? Zheng Zhi stood behind them, very relieved that these two guys didn't take the Italian national derby to heart. It stands to reason that young people will be quite nervous when they appear on the national derby for the first time, but they don't, and they seem to be arguing about something.

"We were talking about the Premier League game just now, Everton at home to Arsenal, Arsenal's 30-game unbeaten run was dried. ”

"Ah, yes, why did I forget this game, poor Ou Chuliang......" He couldn't help but mourn in silence for Ou Chuliang. Standing on the Arsenal goalline is no longer Seaman, but Ou Chuliang, Arsenal's 30-game unbeaten home game is the creation of Ou Chuliang.

It's just that the one who killed them should be the young Rooney, right? His memory is still quite deep.

Rooney is also going to fight to become famous.

Time is really fast, these guys are gradually emerging on the field, maybe, there is still a Messi missing?

'The goal was scored by a guy who's his age with us, Wayne Rooney. A shot from 30 meters out took Arsenal, that guy is amazing! Robben was full of admiration for Wayne Rooney.

"I said it was blind, that guy wasn't that good." Xiao Xiao Luo still sticks to his point of view.

Zheng Zhi smiled, "Luck is also part of strength, after all, they scored a goal and beat Arsenal, if you can do it, you will become a hero of Meacha today." This is a national derby, what are you paying attention to? Think about how you can take out Juventus and become a hero in the game! ”

"yes, that guy has shit luck, why can't we do it?" Ronaldo's eyes lit up, he only played 15 minutes for Portugal in midweek, he didn't play well at all, and he had to vent today no matter what.

"I'm going to open the scoring!" Robben's gaze also became hot.

……

……

Juventus had drawn 2 in a row and were 4 points away from Inter Milan. However, Inter Milan's biggest opponent is AC Milan, AC Milan is only 2 points behind them, once Inter Milan cannot win this game, and AC Milan win against Atalanta, then they will be overtaken to the top of the table because of goal difference.

Bald referee Colina officiated the Italian derby for the third time. The previous two were Inter Milan's 2-0 win at Juventus in 1992-93 and a goalless draw at home to Juventus in 1996-97.

Juventus' starting lineup is 4312: goalkeeper Toldo; defenders Thuram, Ferrara, Lanavaro, Billindeli; midfielders Camoranesi, Tudor, Davies, Nedved; Forwards Salas, Piero.

Inter Milan's starting facelift is 433: goalkeeper Fontana, defenders Panucci, Córdoba, Stam, Gresco; midfielders Di Biagio, Cambiasso, Zheng Zhi; Forwards Ronaldo, Adriano, Robben.

Zheng Zhi and Pierrot respectively wore the captain's armband and walked in the front, and the two had exchanged two words before, but after walking out of the court, the expressions of the two became solemn. Inter Milan fans were able to silence the Juventus fans with their numerical superiority at home, and when the names of the Juventus players were announced, they sent huge boos.

Juventus coach Lippi was not immune, as he was abused and ridiculed by Inter fans behind the dugout. Lippi's experience at Inter Milan was a failure, and fans have always believed that he forced Roberto Baggio away......

The game had just started, and Juventus was unusual, and actually dominated the guest and suppressed Inter Milan! Taking advantage of Inter's unstable footing, Thuram on the right rushed up to assist, and Ramoranesi hit the wall in succession, and then Camoranesi knocked the ball across the middle, Tudor volleyed a right-footed volley from the edge of the box, and the ball went just wide of the goal.

Inter Milan tried to organize an attack, but the old and strong Davies stuck to Zheng Zhi's side, Zheng Zhi gave the ball to Cambiaso, Cambiaso wanted to find Robben after taking the ball, but he didn't expect Nedved to suddenly come out from behind him and stab the ball at his feet, and then he immediately handed the ball to Pierrot, and Pierrot hit the wall to cooperate, ran behind Zheng Zhi and suddenly shot from a distance!

Boom –

Nedved's toe was too hard and the ball went straight to the bottom right corner of the goal! Fontana's concentration was quite focused, he fell to the ground and saved the ball off the line, but Nedved's long-range sneak attack was not successful!

Corner kick.

"Alger, Ronaldo, focus, marking!"
