Chapter 723 Supporting Fan Zhiyi and Offering a Bounty to Rome

Milan City has never been quieter, as both teams have lost. They have to go on a Champions League next.

And this week is clearly not supposed to be a quiet day.

Valentine's Day is coming.

There are no players showing affection this year.

The game is a piece of, who dares to provoke the manager at this time?

No

Even Zheng Zhi didn't dare to ......

These three days have been overwhelmingly criticized, the fans of Milan City, no one can laugh at anyone, everyone is a loser.

Journalists, on the other hand, are lonely because there is no news to write about. For a few days, it was all the news of the players working the training ground, which was really boring.

Everyone is pretending to be forced, and they don't even want a girlfriend.

thought that it would be so peaceful and quiet to the Champions League on Valentine's Day, but Zheng Zhi's family still leaked the news.

The reporter finally crouched on his doorstep and found newsworthy news.

Some paparazzi photographed Shen Bing who came out of Zheng Zhi's house to take out the garbage!

A Chinese beauty, can you let it go?

For a while, on Valentine's Day, before Inter Milan was ready to leave for away to challenge Panathinaikos of Greece, the paparazzi frantically surrounded the airport gate.

"God?"

"Crazy, isn't it?"

Inter Milan and his party were stopped.

"What the hell is going on?"

Mourinho was clearly quite tired of the paparazzi's sudden arrival.

"No one is allowed to be interviewed!"

Although Mourinho issued a gag order, this did not prevent the paparazzi from asking questions.

"Zheng,"

"Is that woman living in your house your girlfriend?"

Zheng Zhi: ......

Why was it discovered?

That's not a good response.

I can't say it's a girlfriend, if I admit it, I won't be able to mix it up in the future......

But today is Valentine's Day, these paparazzi are really looking for trouble.

But anyway, the media didn't grasp anything, isn't it, well, ignore it for the time being.

He didn't send a message to Shen Bing, so he shouldn't know for the time being......

Zheng Zhi, you can't play anymore, you can't play like this anymore, otherwise something will happen! The child may be gone in the future......

What about not messing around?

After that, don't mess around......

It's so floating......

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

Greece, Athens, Nicholas Faithful Arena.

Inter Milan's main force has come out of the nest, vowing to win Panathinaikos, and must not repeat the mistakes of the league. Moreover, Panessionekos lost all the first two rounds, losing to Manchester United and Valencia in a row, and Inter Milan will definitely win it.

According to Mourinho's assumption, it is to win Panathinaikos home and away, which means 12 points, isn't this a proper qualification? At that time, Manchester United and Valencia will have a place, and they will have nothing to do with Inter Milan, and as for advancing to the quarterfinals, who knows what teams they will meet, there is really no difference between first and second.

The Nikolai Believers Arena was full, but I didn't expect that there were also a lot of Inter Milan fans here, to be precise, there were a lot of Ronaldo fans, and fans wearing Inter Milan jerseys were printed with Inter Milan No. 9.

Ronaldo didn't disappoint the local fans either, scoring his 11th Champions League goal in the 12th minute.

In the 31st minute, Adriano rewrote the score to 2:0.

In the second half, Mourinho confidently replaced Vieri and continued to let Vieri find form, but unfortunately Vieri still did not find the target for the shot, but Toney, who also came on as a substitute, scored his first goal in the Champions League.

But the scoreline didn't end there, as Andrea Pirlo and Di Biagio added a late goal each to make it 5-0.

In the end, Inter Milan won 5:0 away from home, ranking first in the Group A standings with 9 points, while Valencia lost to Manchester United away from home, the situation in Group A is, Inter Milan 9 points, Manchester United 6 points, Valencia 3 points, Panathinaikos 0 points, which also means that the next round back to home, Inter Milan only needs to get 1 point, it can qualify two rounds in advance.

In the next round, Inter Milan will face Valencia at home, Valencia's schedule is undoubtedly the worst, but Manchester United will benefit, if Valencia is killed by Inter Milan, it is the result that Manchester United only wants, you must know that Manchester United's next game is Panesinekos......

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

Inter Milan are in sight of qualifying, but Italy's other two teams are miserable.

First of all, Lazio.

The tournament at the Bernabeu was dubbed the Golden Fight by the media before the game.

Figo, Raul, Crespo, Veron... Lazio and Real Madrid have a number of exciting and high-priced players in the world. The game was exciting, with five goals, two hits on the post, and three one-on-one shots, with both sides playing a good half of the game, but unfortunately the battle of the century was blown away by several controversial decisions by the French referee.

A penalty ruined Lazio.

Lazio, who lost 2:3, was very dissatisfied with the referee, and Gotadi "pulled down" Munitis in the penalty area one minute before the end, Lazio not only lost the whole game, but also Nesta and Veron, the two absolute main players were inexplicably given yellow cards, and will miss the next home revenge battle against Real Madrid, and Lazio, who lost three games and three losses, will almost certainly miss the promotion.

After the game, Zoff, the head coach who has always been a humble gentleman, couldn't help but fire at the referee: "It's sad to lose in this way, and the referee's decision is too subjective and really unacceptable." โ€

Captain Nesta's criticism was the most intense: "I thought that the Italian referee was bad, but who knew that the referee was even more stinky in the European arena--- this French referee is simply a nightmare!" โ€

Crespo also thought the referee's decision before the end of the game was "stupid", and Pancaro was even more saddened, saying: "Even the Real Madrid players admit that it shouldn't be a penalty, the referee ruined a classic game!" โ€

As for AC Milan? AC Milan were sent off before half-time to draw 1-1 at home to Paris Saint-Germain, who were overtaken by Galatasaray who won the round, and dropped to second place in Group B.

The star-studded AC Milan team is in inconsistent form and has not played at the same level as the players, as has always been the case this season, and Zaccheroni's position looks shaky, and he may be out of class one day soon......

Only Inter Milan has regained the praise of the Italian press.

Inter Milan secured a valuable three points in Greece to lay a solid foundation for the team's quarter-finals, and the Italian media cheered. Here are the comments from several Italian media outlets:

Milan Sport: Inter Milan will lift the trophy.

It is clear that it will be a while before Europe is conquered, but it is even more obvious that Inter Milan will undoubtedly lift the trophy again and Mourinho should be content with his team yesterday. Inter Milan have been as consistent as ever on the European stage, with no opponents threatening them so far and it is only a matter of time before they reach the quarter-finals.

Roma Sport: Great victory.

Although the opponent is not strong, Inter Milan's ability to quickly regain form is impressive, and compared to AC Milan and Lazio, Inter Milan clearly delivered a convincing answer.

Torino Sport published Mourinho's words:

Our performance was outstanding, and I was pleased with both the results and the process. We were lucky in the first half and we took control very quickly. It looks like we're never going to concede a goal, I even think we can score 10 goals.

Inter Milan's days are back in good times, the players have won back respect with big wins, but the journey continues, and this is not the end.

Inter Milan host Udinese this week, then Valencia at home next week and Roma away at the weekend.

Inter Milan will have a wave of the most crucial games.

After that turmoil, Inter Milan are now very united, and on Saturday afternoon, Mourinho hosted a barbecue at the training ground, attended by the entire first-team team, after a day of recuperation. Inter Milan did not give the black chicken another chance in Meazza and easily won the black chicken 2:0.

Roma did not fall behind either, winning 4-0 against Vicenza. Regardless of the pursuers behind, Roma and Inter Milan were once again on winning tracks.

Manchester United's Alex Ferguson has been keeping an eye on Inter Milan's movements, and it stands to reason that Inter Milan's consecutive wins are a good thing, but on Wednesday afternoon, he scolded directly in front of the media.

"Inter Milan have no work ethic!"

Why?

Because Mourinho did not put out the main lineup to play Valencia! He was on the bench for half of the time. This means that Valencia is likely to win in Meazza.

'It's not fair to Manchester United.

"It's a clear way to release water to Valencia."

The lord is also in a hurry, originally if Mourinho shot the main lineup, then Valencia is very likely to lose, isn't it? And if Manchester United wins the opponent at the same time, then Manchester United is also in sight.

But not now, even Zheng Zhi and Pirlo didn't start, and they still fart! Ferguson was full of distrust of Inter Milan and thought that Inter Milan was going to be cold.

But they ignored the ambition of Inter Milan's substitution, and although Mourinho wanted to keep the main team to play Roma away, the substitute did not want to really lose the game.

As a result, Farinos they held on to the draw. With a 0-0 draw with Valencia, Inter Milan managed to get 10 points and advance two rounds earlier.

For Inter, that's the perfect result. It doesn't get much better than winning the game with a substitute, preserving the strength and advancing to the quarterfinals two rounds early.

Ferguson finally stopped jumping because Valencia only got four points, while Manchester United won and got nine points, and they also only need one point to qualify. However, United will not be able to say they will qualify because they will play Inter Milan at home in the next round and then face Valencia away. If they lose two in a row, there is also a possibility of elimination.

Lazio is completely cold.

Back at home against Real Madrid, they didn't take their chances. Last time they could have put the blame on the referee, but this time they really couldn't find an excuse.

Real Madrid fell behind twice on the road, and finally drew 2-2 with Lazio thanks to Raul's rare header, thus qualifying two rounds ahead of schedule with 10 points, and Lazio with only one point were eliminated.

AC Milan had a good fate, they drew again, 1-1 draw again with Paris Saint-Germain, 1 win and 3 draws in the first four rounds, and only 6 points can also be ranked second in the group. First-placed Galatasaray also have just seven points to their name, and the group looks like they won't know who will advance to the knockout rounds until the final round.

After this round, there have been four Champions League quarterfinals, namely Inter Milan, Bayern Munich, Real Madrid and Leeds United.

"Milan Sport" praised Inter Milan: Super Inter! Inter Milan can continue to dream of her European Cup.

Recently, the focus of the Sport newspaper has shifted significantly to Inter Milan rather than AC Milan.

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

Inter Milan were rested in the Champions League, but Roma did not have such a chance, losing 2-0 to Liverpool in the first leg in the UEFA Cup, and they were back-to-back in the second leg.

So the day before, when Mourinho played Valencia as a substitute, Capello only had envy, jealousy and hatred. Although he wanted to give up the League Cup, the boss Sensi didn't agree, so he could only play with all his strength.

If you want to blame Capello himself, he actually lost 0:2 at home last week, and now it will be even more difficult to go to Anfield?

At Anfield, Roma almost did it.

1:0ใ€‚

But it was still eliminated with an aggregate score of 2:1.

They were lucky, though, as Liverpool could have taken the lead, but Owen missed the penalty before Roma scored the only goal of the campaign through substitute Gigu.

It's just that the game process is also full of controversy, which is also related to the Chinese captain Fan Zhiyi. Spanish referee Aranda's decision 13 minutes before the end of the game caused controversy, Montella's pass hit Fan Zhiyi's arm, Aranda pointed to the penalty spot twice, signaling that it was a penalty, the Roma players rejoiced, if the penalty was scored, the aggregate score would be equalised, but strangely, Aranda then changed the corner, and three Roma players received yellow cards for protesting.

Fan Zhiyi thus became the hottest figure in England and Italy on that day. Because his handball changed the fortunes of Liverpool and Roma. The referee's decision also changed the fate of the two teams very differently.

In Italy, Fan Zhiyi was scolded miserably.

Capello said after the game: "It was one of the best games played by an Italian team in England and it was a shame to be eliminated like this, it was certainly a penalty, the referee pointed to the penalty spot twice, even the Liverpool dugout thought it was a penalty, Batistuta's action was suggestive and the referee changed his mind when he saw Batty running over to take a corner. Fan Zhiyi's movements are the worst handball I've ever seen in my coaching career, he is almost playing volleyball, and the referee actually turns a blind eye? โ€

Montella also scolded Fan Zhiyi directly, "That guy knew that he couldn't prevent it, so he directly reached out and slapped the racket off, he didn't have any work ethic!" โ€

Frenchman Candela also came to show his support: "Quite bad behavior, if I were the referee, I would have expelled him immediately, or even suspended him for at least five games after the game!" โ€

Italy international Tomasi shared a similar opinion, "I felt unfairness, I felt cheating, it was a shameless handball, a shameless ending. The Chinese should be ashamed of his actions! โ€

Liverpool manager Houllier also had to speak: "From my position, it's hard to see what happened, but obviously the referee and the assistant referee exchanged views and finally thought it was a corner, which has happened and is irreparable. Of course, Fan Zhiyi didn't handball on purpose, this kind of thing happened very quickly, the players couldn't react at all, you can't make a preconceived judgment. โ€

'But I have to admit that we are very lucky, Roma are a very good team and I know they are going to attack big from the start. Roma are stronger than us, we know that, but it's a two-legged game and the first leg is very important and Owen's two goals for Roma played a decisive role. โ€

As for the party Fan Zhiyi?

He also accepted an interview with the media, and General Fan said solemnly to reporters: "I can guarantee with my personality that I definitely did not deliberately go to handball, I couldn't react at that time, when the ball came, I just opened my arms to keep my body balanced, and I didn't know that the ball was flying towards my hand." It was an accident. โ€

"I don't deny that I did handball, but it's not the referee's job, it's my job, I can't just run to the referee and say, oh, referee, I'm handballing, can you please give Roma a penalty? The referee decided, we wouldn't have an opinion, he didn't decide, that's not our problem. โ€

"I'm not stupid."

"But I didn't do anything either, sorry for the place in Rome, wasn't it?"

"I can only say that Rome is a little bad."

In the face of the Italians' abuse, Fan Zhiyi was not very excited, but explained the situation very objectively.

It is understandable that Roma is in the mood, the League Cup is trying its best to be eliminated in this way, and the league has to face the fierce Inter Milan, of course, the pressure is great.

But it's too much to scold Fan Zhiyi like this, whether to award a penalty or not is the referee's business, why do you want to viciously attack Fan Zhiyi for deliberately handballing?

He is the captain of the Chinese national team and the captain that Zheng Zhi respects very much.

After hearing the scolding from the Italian media and the Romans, Zheng Zhi was still interviewed at the door of his home.

"Capello is a stupid X!"

"He should have changed his reading glasses, or he wouldn't be able to see clearly, but I think it's useless because he's having a problem with his brain. He attacked the Chinese captain so much, just to divert the attention of the team from being eliminated, in fact it is Capello incompetence, his players are incompetent, they are not capable of eliminating Liverpool. โ€

"The weak like to make excuses, and that's the case with Rome. The words of Candela, Montella and Tomasi sound like a piece of shit! I don't know how they judged how Fan Zhiyi deliberately handballed, could it be that he read Fan Zhiyi's heart? I believe what Fan Zhiyi said more, and he personally told me that he didn't think about doing it without him. โ€

"So, you!"

Zheng Zhi's sudden opening just intensified the atmosphere of the upcoming battle for the top spot this weekend. Originally, Inter Milan was going to the Italian capital to challenge Roma, isn't this just heating up?

Mourinho is not a big deal and also fanned the flames in front of the media.

"I support Zheng Zhi's point of view, the Romans are too idealistic to lose. How can one player be blamed for the loss? Why don't we look for reasons in ourselves, when we lost to Reggina we made excuses for each other? We just think we're playing badly and we're good for nothing. And Rome is disgusting now. โ€

"If I were Capello, I wouldn't be embarrassed to say it myself. Besides, I watched the game, Liverpool played very well, and if Owen had scored a penalty, they would have shut up a long time ago. โ€

In China, fans also fell to the ground and scolded Capello.

"SB Capello,"

"If he loses to Inter Milan this weekend, see who he can blame, I guess Zheng Zhi will be blamed."

"The character is all lost, wait for the loss to Inter Milan, and then Zheng Zhi will shoot directly into his mouth."

โ€ฆโ€ฆ

โ€ฆโ€ฆ

Fan Zhiyi called Zheng Zhi and was grateful for his support in the media. After that, Fan Zhiyi flew back to Asia to participate in the World Cup qualifiers.

In the second game, the Chinese team will challenge the Maldives in Male, which is estimated to be another massacre.

And Zheng Zhi still hasn't been called by the national team......

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

This weekend is destined to belong to the stage of Rome and Inter Milan. The top two teams are tied on points again, with Juventus, Lazio and AC Milan all eyeing each other. If it is a draw, it is estimated that they would like to see it the most.

But Mourinho didn't want a draw, and before the trip to Roma, he once again expressed optimism about victory: "With the right tactics, we can beat any opponent and Roma is no exception. It had to be tough, but we were in good shape physically and mentally and I'm pretty optimistic about the result. I told my players that even Liverpool could win two goals at their home stadium, can't we do that? โ€

'We didn't fight back at home and I hope it will be the same tonight.'

Similarly, the Inter Milan players are not afraid to travel to the Stadio Olimpico in Rome.

Recoba said: "Roma are still strong without Barty, but if we play smarter than our opponents, we can beat them. I've always been good at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome and scored a beautiful goal against Lazio last season. โ€

"We won against Udinese last week, the fear of the team disappeared after that victory and we are confident that we will be able to discharge again against Roma, so an away win over Roma is not out of the question," Cรณrdoba noted. โ€

Gresco was not as polite as the two people in front of him: "The captain said, take the Roman sacrificial flag!" โ€

Grosso was even more desperate, "The captain said that whoever can score in the game will be rewarded with 100,000 US dollars!" โ€

"As long as the team wins, he will personally take out 300,000 US dollars, and everyone will divide it together!"

Grosso's words were devastating. The reporter quickly contacted Zheng Zhi to confirm the authenticity of the incident.

Zheng Zhi replied bluntly: "Yes,"

"In order to win Roma, I am willing to contribute a little bit to the club!"

Very excessive!

For the first time in football, players reward their teammates.

Japanese fans are very worried about Hidetoshi Nakata. Finally, Hidetoshi Nakata became a starter, and he always felt that he was going to be more auspicious again.

It's really sad to be in the same league as Zheng Zhi, and lose in momentum......

Rome, on the other hand, has a hard time. The UEFA Cup was eliminated and the players in the team had problems again. AS Roma are determined to be unable to retain Brazilian players Cafu and Emerson, who will travel to Miami this weekend with the Brazilian national team for a friendly against the United States.

Roma had hoped to keep the two players in Italy for this week's Serie A fixture, but their request to keep Cafu and Emerson was rejected after they applied to the Brazilian Football Federation to keep them.

The general manager of the club as Roma, Fabirizio Lucesi, said angrily: "The Brazilian Football Federation asked Cafu and Emerson to return to the national team, and despite our own reasons, in the end there was no way to keep them. Unfortunately, the Brazilian Football Federation did not think our reasons were convincing enough. โ€

At the same time, it is not just this week's game that worries the club, as Emerson has been notified by the Brazilian government that he is returning to serve in the military, so once he has passed the medical examination, the midfielder will return to Brazil and will not be able to play for Roma for at least a long time.

To make matters worse, the ace of the team, the god of war, Barty, continues to be unable to play. He had previously picked up an injury against Vicenza and although the injury was not severe, he was certain to be out of action for the next month or so. Captain Totti is also miserable and did not train with the team, and it seems that the situation is not optimistic.

There really aren't many players Capello can rely on.

Although it is the battle for the top of the table, Roma is actually on the underdog.

Capello made an emergency mobilization in front of the station:

"We've stopped at the UEFA Cup,"

"I can't fall down again in the league!"

'Liverpool humiliated us and we can't be humiliated by Inter again.'

"They must not be defeated!"

"Look at what the Chinese have said about us, look at the reward he has offered, it is so rude to us!"

"If we can't defend Rome today, then we will lose Rome too!"

"Rome will lose everything because of a Chinese!"

Zheng Zhi became a thorn in Capello's side and a thorn in his flesh.

"You can't let the Chinese stand up and walk out of here today!"

"Even if it's at the cost of a red card!"

"Victory will be ours! Victory belongs to Rome! โ€

Tomasi, Candela, Montella, each with murderous intent in their eyes and a desire for revenge.

Only Hidetoshi Nakata fell into misery alone.

Because, he was tricked by Capello again.

I thought I could start, but Capello actually let Totti play with an injury, how distrustful is this?
