However, in the eyes of the English media, Newcastle are hopeful of winning the first round of the second stage at home.

Analysing the upcoming fixtures, The Times says that youth and inconsistency are Inter's biggest problems, and while Inter Milan have done well in the league, they have stumbled in the Champions League this season, and even Ajax and Lyon have been able to make them suffer, as can Newcastle. Youngsters Arjen Robben, Ronaldo, Adriano and Cambiaso are likely to get lost in the rough defence. Counting on a few youngsters to triumph in England? They're not Leeds United.

Daily Mail – All Newcastle have to do is get the ball over Shearer's head and let Shearer solve the problem. And to treat the opponent? Let them experience what it feels like to break their legs! They will surely be moved by fear.

The Manchester Evening News said that if even Inter Milan can't beat at home, then Newcastle's Champions League journey this season is over. Barcelona and Bayer Leverkusen are both difficult to play against, and picking up points at home is the only option.

The Guardian believes that Robson and Mourinho will win the game, and the tactical battle between master and apprentice is the biggest attraction.

The two also praised each other at the press conference.

Mourinho said: "Bobby Robson is a real footballer. Real footballers are very rare in our lives, and their names and faces, along with countless glory, remain forever in the glorious history of football. True footballers are legends in the world of football, and they have not only left an indelible mark on the world of football, but also left a standard by which future generations will be judged. ”

"I remember when my son was a month old and we were all watching a football game, Robson held my son in his arms. I never invited him to dinner, and he told me, 'I have more money than you, and I have less time left in my life than you.' With me, you'll never have to pay. I've never had any losses either......'"

"One day when I started training, he said to me: 'What are your thoughts on training today?' Because my attention is on the golf game later, you'll be in charge of the training. ’”

"After one of my failures, he came to me and said, 'Don't be sad. Think of the people from the other team, and those guys will jump for joy. Try to be happy for them. ”

"So, he's a great mentor to me, he's made me stronger, more resilient," Mourinho said in front of the media to give Robson plenty of respect and respect.

'Look at what he's achieved at Newcastle, other coaches can't do that, he can turn the ordinary into great, Newcastle are playing in the Champions League now, what were they doing before?'

Robson was also full of praise for Mourinho.

"Jose is a tireless, lean coach who has tried to get everything perfect since I knew him, so it's no surprise that he's achieving extraordinary results now. When he said he was going to be an assistant coach, I told him, why not just become a head coach? ”

"Then he became the manager of Inter Milan and we all saw that he was so good that he won almost all the titles! Now arguably one of the best coaches in the world. ”

The two of them never mentioned the upcoming game, but talked about each other's past, the warmth between master and apprentice, which is completely different from other press conferences, it is all a feeling of saber rattling, and they can't wait to fight at the press conference......

However, just because you have a good time before a game doesn't mean it's fun.

In this game, Mourinho used a central defensive combination of Stam and Materacci, the left-back was Grosso and Panucci respectively, Zanetti was promoted to the midfield, partnered with Cambiasso and Di Biagio, and the forward line was still Robben, Adriano and Ronaldo.

Gianluigi Buffon returned to the squad but did not start the game.

Newcastle, goalkeeper Given; defenders Griffin, Dabisas, O'Brien, Aaron Hughes; midfielders Solano, Dier, Speed, Viana; Forwards Bellamy, Shearer.

Newcastle have no shortage of stars in the squad, such as Solano, Dier, Bellamy and Shearer.

But just 66 seconds into the game, Newcastle were struck.

Zanetti accelerated to break down the right and fired a low cross that Adriano didn't touch the ball in front of him, while Robben at the back post followed up and easily slotted the ball into the ball from three yards out, and Newcastle United goalkeeper Givens couldn't save the ball to give Inter a one-goal lead.

But things went in a worse direction, and in the 5th minute, Bellamy got into an altercation with Materazzi, Bellamy knocked Materazzi down, and French referee Bray sent Vela off for a red card.

It looked like everything was going our way Mourinho had hoped, and it was a tactical focus to get Bellamy off once the game started. But it didn't get any easier.

Ten minutes into the first half, Stam brought down Shearer from behind his back and also received a yellow card, as he already had a yellow card in the first stage and he will miss the next Champions League game. The devastated Magpies immediately started a counter-attack on the 11th minute, but Dabisas' header was deflected.

Despite the difficulties they faced, the 10-man Newcastle team posed a considerable threat to Inter Milan, with Solano combining with Viana and Dier to close to equalising.

If it weren't for Bellamy's stupidity, Newcastle would have really held Inter Milan at home to play, and luck was not on Newcastle's side.

In the 26th minute, referee Bray gave Zanetti, who deliberately blocked the ball, another yellow card.

However, Inter then began to gain a footing, with Newcastle goalkeeper Givens the busiest man, first saving a must-score shot from Ronaldo and then denying Adriano's header.

Three minutes later, Solano delivered a beautiful cross, but Shearer deflected it wide.

On 35 minutes of the first half, Adriano met team-mate Ronaldo's corner volley at the far post of the goal, which was blocked by Given, but Cambiaso rushed up and volleyed the ball into the top corner of the net from 20 yards. Inter Milan led 2-0.

Newcastle did not give up after falling behind by two goals, and in the 39th minute, Shearer broke through Stam and fired a right-footed shot that was deflected wide of the left.

After missing the goal again, in first-half stoppage time, Robben broke through on the left and sent a brilliant pass to Adriano, who pushed the ball five meters in front of the goal to give Inter a three-goal lead in the first half!

At the start of the second half, Newcastle began to counterattack aggressively, but Inter Milan began to shrink the formation and played a defensive counterattack, and the two sides did not achieve anything in the first 20 minutes.

It wasn't until the 72nd minute that Shearer's run drew Inter's Stam out of the box, and substitute Robert took the opportunity to pass to an unguarded Solano, who fired a left-footed shot into the net from under Fontana.

Gianluigi Buffon then came on as a substitute for Fontana, who had been away for more than two months and immediately saved Shearer's header.

Recoba also replaced Robben shortly after, and shortly after Recoba came up, he received a cross from Ronaldo on the right and volleyed directly sideways into the far corner of Newcastle's penalty area, and goalkeeper Givens did not react at all.

In the end, Inter Milan beat Newcastle 4-1 away.

Zheng Zhi did not go with the team, and he was surprised after watching the whole game in front of the TV at home.

It was really said by Mourinho, and Newcastle became a point boy.

Little Ronaldo and Robben didn't break their promises, and their performances were quite good. And what Zheng Zhi has to do now is to pack his luggage and wait for the club's charter flight to come back to pick him up at Milan Airport, and the next stop is naturally Yokohama, Japan......

The three points on the road are quite important, after all, they are taken from relatively weak opponents, and there is no gutter capsizing.

And then the result of the other game also came out, Bayer Leverkusen lost 1-2 at home to the mighty Barcelona, after the first round, Inter Milan ranked first with a goal difference, Barcelona was second, Bayer Leverkusen was third with zero points, and Newcastle conceded so many goals to be at the bottom.

The second round also has an advantage over Inter Milan and Barcelona as they return to home and may be able to pick up all six points from the first two rounds......

The Serie A team's results in the first round can only be described as mediocre, AC Milan are in good form, beating the title favourites Real Madrid 1-0 at home, while Juventus drew 2-2 away at Deportivo La Coruna and Roma lost 1-3 at home to Arsenal, which was a big surprise.

……

Three hours later, Zheng Zhi successfully joined the team at Milan Airport and flew directly to Yokohama.

Meanwhile, Inter Milan's opponents, Paraguay Olimpia, have just boarded the plane.

Three days later, fans around the world will be on Yokohama International Stadium, where Olympia, who eliminated countless big-name clubs such as River Plate and Gremio, will compete with Inter Milan for the Toyota Cup.

It was a club with only $3 million a year in operating expenses (which is equivalent to China's A-B level), which was only enough to feed the miscellaneous workers who washed the clothes of the Inter Milan players and cleaned the pitch......

The dedicated reporter of China's "Sports Weekly" flew to the South American country to obtain information about the Olympia team, just in time for the Olympia team to go to Japan.

In the eyes of the reporter of the "Sports Weekly", Paraguay's largest international airport is surprisingly small, and there are few people waiting for planes in the airport. But at 3 p.m., there were hundreds of people in the middle of the crowd, and among them were a group of people in black suits and black sunglasses, these were the Olympia players, and the people who were holding children, holding old-fashioned cameras, clapping their hands, and talking loudly, hoping to take pictures with these players were their fans. They climbed onto the roof of the airport's departure hall and waited until the players boarded the plane to São Paulo, Brazil, and waved goodbye to the sky after takeoff.

For Paraguayan fans, the cost of going to Japan is simply unimaginable. Therefore, after meeting the reporter of "Sports Weekly", countless Paraguayan media flocked to him, hoping to cooperate with him and get photos of the Olympia team training and playing in Japan.

According to the Toyota Cup Organizing Committee in Japan, only one Paraguayan media outlet sent a reporter to Japan on the day of the race to cover the event, and it was only a photographer.

In order to get to Japan, the Olympia team had to travel to São Paulo, Brazil, then transfer to a plane to Los Angeles in the United States, and wait another six hours before boarding a flight to Japan. It is said that the reason for waiting for 6 hours is that there are cheap air tickets, although the Japanese organizing committee has already paid for their budget.

The toss-up journey meant they had at least one less day off than Inter.

This year, because of the loss of the domestic league title, the Olympia team has not been very smooth, but fortunately they won the cup and still have the opportunity to participate in the South American club cup, for the Paraguayan team, if they cannot participate in the South American club competition, they will lose a lot of income, and it is likely that the team will run a deficit.

The gap between the rich and the poor is indeed very serious.

There is only one Toyota Cup, and if the Paraguayans win, each starter will receive 30,000 euros, and the substitutes will be halved;

And if Inter Milan can win the cup, all players can get 100,000 euros. As one of the most prestigious clubs in Europe, Inter Milan has a budget of $253 million this year, compared to the South American rivals standing in front of them with a budget of only $20 million.

Olympia Paraguay did not have a single fan with the team, while Inter Milan fans came with a full 400, not counting the 3,000 Chinese fans from China. In addition, everyone knows that most of the 50,000 live spectators will cheer for Inter Milan. In terms of accompanying journalists, only one Paraguayan journalist arrived in Tokyo, while the Italian side arrived on the same plane as Inter Milan with 30 journalists, and more than 50 journalists flew in to Tokyo......

At present, Inter Milan's most influential star is Zheng Zhi, who is now paid a whopping $7.5 million a year, while Paraguay's chief star is former Espanyol striker Rafael Benitez, who has an annual salary of only 204,400 euros......

Win or lose, Olympia can certainly get a decent income, but the champion? Perhaps only Paraguayans would think there are miracles. Almost all the media thought that Inter Milan would defend the Toyota Cup.

Spinach Company even opened the handicap of Inter Milan with two and a half goals, and the game has not yet started, and it seems that Inter Milan has put the Toyota Cup championship in the bag.

And Chinese fans are more concerned about whether Zheng Zhi can play in the game. They still hope that Zheng Zhi can add points to the upcoming Ballon d'Or and World Footballer of the Year through his excellent performance, although they know that Brazil's Ronaldo is the most promising......

On the first day of training, Zheng Zhi did not appear on the training ground, but stayed alone in the hotel's gym.

On the second day of training, Zheng Zhi finally appeared, but he did not train with the team, but only jogged on the side of the court.

On the day of the game, Mourinho said in his pre-match press conference that "Zheng's injury is gone, he will definitely be on the bench, but he will not start. ”

To be on the safe side, Mourinho will not let Zheng Zhi start for the time being, although the medical report shows that there is no problem with his body. And this opponent of the Toyota Cup, it doesn't look like an opponent?
