Chapter 624: I'm Going to Play
The season has come to an end, and compared to many aspiring teams, Inter's current form is really a bit unwanted.
In the 25th round of the league, Inter Milan hosted Cagliari, because there was sufficient rest time, so most of the main lineup sent by Inter Milan won the game cleanly.
After all, it's not good to always lose, and you always have to give the fans an explanation.
In midweek, Inter host Chelsea.
Still coming off the bench against a menacing Chelsea, this time, Chelsea were careless.
The game was in control at full time, leaving not much chance for second-tier Inter, and while a narrow 1-0 win was not enough to illustrate Chelsea's advantage, it was enough to see Chelsea advance to the Champions League final.
Watching their opponents celebrate promotion at their home stadium, the Inter players were all extremely uncomfortable, and thoughts of regret came to their hearts again, even if Vardy was in the stands, they all clasped their hands, eager to play Chelsea.
Inter's Champions League is over, but it ended in this way that Vardy is powerless, and he has no strength but can't exert it, this feeling is really unbearable for Vardy.
It's better to fight the court and lose the game!
At the end of the day, it's yourself and your teammates who are too impulsive, and that's the punishment for impulsiveness.
Chelsea left Meazza but the Inter fans did not, standing in the stands and singing the Inter anthem, encouraging Inter and themselves in this way.
We didn't lose and we will always be champions!
The Inter players once again walked to the sidelines, bowed deeply to the fans, thanked them for their unwavering support, and everyone's eyes were filled with tears.
They all felt guilty for not being able to bring the Champions League title to the fans, and at this moment, Vardy vowed in his heart that he would bring the Champions League back to Meazza next season.
......
The end of Inter's European competition can be said to be a loss for the entire world football, without Inter's Champions League final, can it be said to be a real peak matchup?
It's like Usain Bolt doesn't go to the 100-meter final, who dares to say that this 100-meter champion is the fastest runner?
Similarly, while Chelsea and Manchester United are equally good, they still feel a head short in front of Inter.
At this time, someone suddenly thought of a question.
Inter and Vardy were eliminated, so is there still Vardy for today's European Ballon d'Or and World Footballer of the Year?
Although Inter Milan won the Serie A championship early and is very likely to win the Coppa Italia next, the competitiveness of Serie A has declined significantly, and it is no longer the world's No. 1 league.
And as Vardy's biggest rival, Ronaldo has performed no worse this season.
After Vardy left Manchester United, Cristiano Ronaldo took over Vardy's grab and led Manchester United forward.
He has scored 30 goals in the league and won the Premier League Golden Boot, while Manchester United are also ahead of Chelsea in the table, the title is close at hand, and more importantly, Ronaldo has the opportunity to lead Manchester United to the Champions League and complete the Champions League three times in a row.
Among them, the biggest contributor should be said to be Alex Ferguson, who made a decisive comeback to replace Queiroz at the beginning of the season when the situation was in crisis at Manchester United, quickly stabilized the situation, and then shot out of control.
And then, it is Ronaldo's credit, and his all-round performance is an important contributor to Manchester United's outstanding results.
If you only look at the current results, it is entirely possible for Ronaldo to surpass his good friend and get Mr. Double.
However, today is a big year, and the European Championship will ignite the passion after the end of the season, and compared to the Champions League and their respective leagues, it is clear that the European Cup has more weight!
06 was the peak of Xiao Luo, leading Barcelona to win the Champions League, and his performance was also dominant, but because Italy won the World Cup, Xiao Luo lost to Cannavaro in the selection.
Although the European Championship is slightly less important than the World Cup, there is no essential difference.
In other words, whoever performs better at the European Championship will be the double footballer of the year.
It's just that Vardy doesn't see it that way, unless he leads LinkedIn Gran to the championship, it doesn't make much sense.
In the previous life, Spain won the championship, but Mr. Double still didn't have their share, doesn't this explain the problem!
This is a change in everyone's thinking, from the previous more emphasis on team honor to the current more attention to the individual performance of players, otherwise how could there be so many "FIFA owes XXX a Golden Ball Award"!
......
After exiting the Champions League, Inter Milan have regrouped and returned to the league, this time against local rivals AC Milan.
There's something interesting about this game!
Let's not talk about the grievances between the two teams, their recent situation and fighting spirit are worth hype.
Inter defended their Serie A title and were eliminated from the Champions League, and this game was followed by the second leg of the Coppa Italia semi-final against Lazio.
AC Milan, who are now fifth in the table, are struggling to catch up and try to finish in the top four for a Champions League spot, which was the pot that was not competitive at the beginning of the season, and now they are going to fill the hole.
If there weren't so many stories between the two teams, and there wasn't a relationship between the two teams, then maybe Inter would have let AC Milan go.
But now, in the face of an Inter Milan team that is ready to kick itself off the cliff, AC Milan really wants to cry and has no place to cry.
The sworn enemy is happy when he loses, and he will never help the sworn enemy.
Doesn't AC Milan want to finish in the top four?
Did you ask us?
Even if Inter Milan is facing the urgent situation of three-front operations, I am afraid that they will fight to the end in the face of mortal enemies, not to mention that now Inter Milan has no other pursuit except the Italian Cup.
Therefore, in San Siro, AC Milan ushered in a sharpening Inter Milan, and Inter Milan really planned to vent the frustration of the Champions League elimination on the sworn enemies in the same city.
Don't look at AC Milan's momentum, they have a clear goal and they are doing their best, but Inter's desire to fight is not inferior at all, coupled with its own strength is stronger than its sworn enemy, in this two teams' shared home stadium, Inter Milan has no mercy at all.
In the 14th minute of the first half, Jamie Vardy opened the scoring with a counter-attacking opportunity;
Three minutes later, Vardy set up Materazzi for another corner to extend the score;
Although Milan pulled one back from a long-range shot from Andrea Pirlo near the end of the first half, Ibrahimovic scored twice in the second half, which directly killed the suspense of the game.
In the end, Inter Milan won 4-1 away against AC Milan and kicked their sworn enemies into the abyss.
With the last two rounds of the league remaining, AC Milan is already four points away from fourth-place Fiorentina, as long as Fiorentina wins one of the last two rounds, AC Milan has no chance of finishing in the top four and winning the Champions League.
All Milan fans were desperate, especially when Inter had already won the Serie A title and still kicked them out of the top four, and this anger enveloped the whole city in an atmosphere of terror.
Fiorentina should really be grateful to Inter, otherwise with only one point of difference, it is really difficult to say that they can hold on.
Presumably, there will be countless Milan fans in tears on this night!
But they have no way to say anything, because if it were them, they would not show mercy, which is determined by the positions of both sides.
......
In the second leg of the Coppa Italia semifinals, Inter Milan challenged Lazio away.
The match was just a cut-off, as no one believed that Lazio would beat Inter with a score of 5-0 or more.
Inter came on as a substitute, and several main players sat on the bench to press the lineup, which was enough for the opponent to see the reality clearly and not to make unnecessary resistance.
Inter's bench didn't beat Chelsea, but compared to Lazio, it was not much worse, if not better, and the final result of this game proved it.
Even if they played away from home, even if they came off the bench, Inter still beat Lazio by one goal and advanced to the Italian Cup final with an aggregate score of 7:1.
Mancini is also relieved, for him, in his coaching career at Inter, the only thing left is a Coppa Italia final.
Just let yourself say goodbye to everyone with a championship.
In the 37th round of the league, Inter Milan challenged Siena away, and the young players of the reserve team lost the game cleanly.
In the 38th round of the league, Inter Milan will host Parma, which will be the final game of this season's Serie A, and the championship trophy will also be officially presented to Inter Milan after the game.
I thought that Inter would send all the main squad to bid farewell to this season's Serie A with a big win, and also welcome the championship trophy with a big win.
But what everyone didn't expect was that Mancini actually put most of the main players on the bench, but gave the substitute players a chance.
In Vardy's view, it could be that Mancini is compensating Inter substitutes in this way.
Sitting on the bench with Ibrahimovic's good friends and staring at each other, this feeling of being able to play but only looking at it is really not good.
The first half was uneventful, with Jamie Vardy almost asleep on Ibrahimovic's shoulder.
At half-time, Mancini still had no intention of replacing Jamie Vardy, which made Vardy a little unable to sit still.
"Boss, let me play in the second half, my ass is almost rusty!" Vardy couldn't help but complain.
Of course, Vardy's attitude towards Mancini has not changed since he is gone, and he has always been like that in front of Mancini.
Mancini looked at Vardy with amusement and smiled slightly: "Yes, as long as someone is willing to play, I have no opinion!" ”
That means it's up to Vardy to convince the players on the pitch.
Vardy couldn't help but be discouraged, the substitutes had less playing time, and it was such a meaningful game, who would want to play!
No, why don't you fool one, anyway, I'm going to play football!
