Chapter 617: Farewell with a Champion
No matter how the reporters asked, Mancini insisted on one statement - he negotiated the termination of the contract with Inter, and did not fire the squid.
But where would the reporters believe it, obviously there are many secrets that no one knows.
There is no problem with Inter's lineup, and there is no problem with the strength, but Inter Milan has been fighting in the Champions League for two consecutive seasons, and there is obviously a problem here.
Not to mention anything else, is Mancini's lax management to blame?
If he has more control over the dressing room, the players will have to think before they make a move.
So, in any case, even if Mancini seems to have nothing to do with the gang fight, he still has to take the leadership responsibility.
Moratti is good to the players, but the old man never shows mercy to the coach, and you can count how many managers he has fired over the years he has been in charge of Inter.
Maybe Inter said that they broke up with Mancini peacefully, which is to save face for Mancini!
Whatever the reason, Mancini didn't bring the coveted Champions League title to the heavily invested Inter anyway, and there was nothing wrong with firing him.
At least that's what many journalists think.
Mancini is gone, so where does Inter go next?
Which super-famous coach will Moratti bring back?
At least the coffee is bigger than Mancini!
This news not only shocked reporters and fans, but even the players who didn't get any news in advance were stunned, they didn't expect that Mancini was actually out of class!
Let's call it a dismissal, but the end result is that at the end of the season, Mancini will leave the team.
Zanetti, as the captain and soul of the team, also did not get any news.
Immediately after the club's press conference, Zanetti pushed open the door to Moratti's office, where the two talked for almost an hour.
The players are all concerned about the outcome of the captain's conversation with Moratti, what is going on?
Zanetti returned to the training ground and stopped everyone in the dressing room.
"As the press officer said, Mr. Mancini will leave after the season, and there is not as much as rumored in the outside world, which is the peaceful termination of the contract between the coach and the club, so you don't have to worry about that!"
"In addition, Mr. Moratti promised to hire a world-class coach to coach the team in the new season, and our goal will not change, still to compete for the Champions League and the great honor of the treble."
"Now, all we need to do is play seriously and win the Serie A and Coppa Italia double, which is also a send-off for Mr. Mancini!"
Zanetti's words naturally did not disagree with the players, which means that Mancini really parted peacefully with the club.
Well, there are so many twists and turns, let's focus on playing.
Soon, Mancini came to the training ground, and from his expression, no one could tell that he was any different from usual, he was still so personable and dashing like a male model.
It's just that after leaving Inter, is Mancini sad or regretful, and may even feel a little relieved?
Vardy doesn't know.
"I think everyone already knows, forgive me for not greeting everyone in advance, because I made this decision very suddenly, I hope you can forgive me!"
"Not being able to win the Champions League with you will be a regret for the rest of my life."
'We'll be together for more than two months and I hope to leave the double at the club before I leave.'
"Then, please work with me!"
After Mancini said this, his eyes were blazing and he looked at everyone, as if he wanted to see everyone through.
The players, including Jamie Vardy, made a big splash, and that's what they all aim for.
Mancini has done a lot for Inter in four seasons, and although he didn't take Inter to the top, there is no denying that he is still a good coach.
He deserves respect, flowers, and applause for his departure!
So, as the captain said, use the glory of the Coppa Italia and the double as a gift to Mancini!
So, in the next training, the Inter players were as serious as ever, and did not slack off because of the Serie A championship or the Champions League is about to be eliminated, their goals are clear, and once a person has a clear goal, there is a motivation to move forward.
......
When the outside world is hyping up Mancini's departure, Inter is unusually low-key, low-key training, and low-key games.
In the 32nd round of the league, Inter Milan challenged Atalanta away.
Inter fielded the full squad for this game, and even though the players may have been a little tired, Mancini actually had no one to replace.
There is no way, the main players are banned in the Champions League, and the second leg against Arsenal will definitely not be available in three days, and the substitutes will be needed to play at that time.
So there is a very interesting but actually very bitter picture, Inter Milan have to send their main players in the Serie A that they have already won, but they can only let the substitutes play in the Champions League, which is not yet out.
Such an upside-down approach has never been done before, and no one has come since.
Atalanta is not a particularly strong opponent, but in the first half of the season, it was Atrata who drew with Inter at home, breaking Inter's winning streak, which is a revenge battle.
Of course, in fact, it is not that complicated, Inter and Atalanta have a good relationship, and there is no talk of revenge or revenge.
Inter's first appearance in a game since the mass assault and Mancini's departure did not fall apart as rumours had predicted, but instead showed the same level as ever before, if not more aggressive.
Jamie Gundy scored twice in the first half to give his side the lead, Ibrahimovic scored a hat-trick in the second half, and goals from Cambiasso and Samuel gave Inter a seven-goal win away from home.
Looking at such a strong Inter Milan, many people can't help but regret that this super starting lineup can only abuse vegetables in the league, which is simply a tyrannical thing!
If there are no mass brawls, then who can stop Inter from winning the Champions League?
Chelsea?
Manchester United?
In front of Inter, no one is their opponent, their team-mates are only themselves.
After this game, Inter returned to their home stadium and welcomed Arsenal again.
Speaking of which, this may be the most watery game in the history of the Champions League quarter-finals.
Inter's bench lineup is barely at the mid-table level of Serie A;
Arsenal's substitute lineup is not even at the middle level of the Premier League, at most it has not entered the relegation zone.
Imagine what it would be like if Reggina in the middle of the Premier League and Wigan Athletic in the bottom of the Premier League got together to play the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
In fact, this game is no different from the above, it is nothing more than the name of the giants, but the second-rate players on the field.
Such a game has caused everyone to lose interest and pay little attention.
What if they make it to the last four of the Champions League?
Suffering a heavy blow, no matter which opponent they face with this lineup, they have only a dead end, and they can't make a little wave.
Of course, some people's focus is not on the game itself, but on seeing if the substitutes of the two teams will learn from the main players and do a big job, and if they do fight again, it will be really interesting.
It's just that their desire to watch the excitement has not been satisfied, and although the substitute players of the two teams played fiercely, they were limited to the field and did not exceed the rules.
In the end, it was Inter's bench that came out on top, winning 2-0 at home to Arsenal.
Inter eliminated Arsenal 4-0 on aggregate to advance to the last four of this season's Champions League.
This result is better than last year's Champions League quarter-finals, and even Inter's best result in the Champions League in recent years.
But everyone knows that this is the end of the story, Inter Milan meet Chelsea in the semi-finals, even if the main team plays, there is no guarantee that it will be nine out of ten, let alone these substitutes.
Inter's Champions League is over!
Perhaps the only point of the two-legged semi-finals is to help the main players consume two more suspensions, and that's it.
Chelsea were overjoyed as they faced Inter Milan in the semi-finals.
If it is against a strong Inter Milan team with the invincible Dardy Vardy, then Grant's team, no matter how strong, still has a small chance of winning.
But now it's different, in the face of an Inter second-tier lineup, if Chelsea can't win again, then without Abu firing, Grant himself will get out!
Many people joked that Chelsea originally only had the last four lives, but now they were escorted to the final by Inter Milan, they should be grateful to Arsenal, otherwise the next time they meet Arsenal in the league, don't always abuse them!
You should have some respect for your benefactor, shouldn't you?
......
At this time, in Italy, everyone pays more attention to which world-famous coach Inter Milan will invite to coach!
In this regard, the media expressed their opinions, and it seems that they are more enthusiastic than Inter Milan.
First of all, the most favored to become the Nerazzurri manager is Jose Mourinho, who is currently at home.
The coaching ability of the magic bird is obvious to all, and the real world's top coach is fully capable of leading Inter Milan forward.
On top of that, Mourinho's love for Jamie Vardy has reached a point of madness, and he has said on more than one occasion that the player he would most like to coach is Vardy.
Now Vardy is at Inter Milan, Inter Milan still lacks a famous coach, Mourinho, why don't you come to the pot soon?
Even if Inter Milan does not have such a luxurious lineup, with only one Vardy present, it is estimated that Mourinho will not have any hesitation.
Of course, there are not no problems, after all, some things still have to be paid attention to.
The strong Mourinho is as arrogant as God, is Moratti really willing to let him come to Inter Milan?
If Mourinho comes, then who will speak in the future?
And there is another question, Mourinho, who has an extremely bad relationship with the English media, doesn't he have to fight with the more shameless Italian media every day in Italy?
Many people feel that with these two points alone, Mourinho will not be able to come to Inter Milan.
