Chapter 85: Before the game

Chu Zhongtian has no friends in Milan City, but Kaka does. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žfo

This time, Chu Zhongtian and Kaka were assigned to a room. At night, Kaka didn't go anywhere, just texting and surfing the Internet on his mobile phone in his room, and connecting with his old friends in Milan.

Chu Zhongtian went to other rooms and came back to see that Kaka was still chatting with people about text messages and playing Twitter.

"Who are you talking to?" Chu Zhongtian asked.

Kaka looked up and saw that it was Chu Zhongtian, and smiled: "Reno." ”

Chu Zhongtian suddenly realized: "Oh-who is that?" ”

Kaka laughed, "It's Gattuso!" ”

"Oh, it's him!" Chu Zhongtian nodded to indicate that he understood.

The 34-year-old Gattuso has lost his place as an absolute mainstay at AC Milan and is now only getting a chance to play in a few inconsequential games, with Boateng having replaced him in the team. Chu Zhongtian rarely sees his name in European football news now.

But the prestige is still there, and he has fought him three times, and each time he has left a very deep impression on himself. The first time Gattuso was at his peak, he defended Chu Zhongtian almost unable to move an inch, and when Gattuso was injured and went down for treatment, Chu Zhongtian was very clever to seize this opportunity to suddenly break out and assist his teammates to score. The last two encounters were in the Champions League group stage last season, Chu Zhongtian was at his peak, and Gattuso was already in decline, and his career was going downhill. Despite this, Gattuso still caused a lot of trouble for Chu Zhongtian.

For such a difficult opponent, Chu Zhongtian always had admiration.

"Speak to him on my behalf." He said to Kaka.

Kaka low hair text messages.

After a while, the SMS prompt sounded.

Kaka looked down for a moment, then burst out laughing. "He said: 'Avenge Milan!' It was that kid who knocked us out! 'Hahahaha! ”

Chu Zhongtian touched his head.

Kaka finished laughing, sat on the bed and looked up at Chu Zhongtian: "Speaking of which, there are grievances between us, Chu." ”

"Huh?" Chu Zhongtian didn't react, he had a good relationship with Kaka, what grievances did he have?

"In the summer of 2007, Milan were supposed to win the UEFA Super Cup, and the result was ...... To be honest, before that game, I didn't have any idea of Mace. I still remember the moment when you chased back to the goal and blocked my shot......"

Chu Zhongtian remembered that Kaka was talking about the 2007 UEFA Super Cup, the new UEFA League Cup champion Metz against the Champions League champion AC Milan. Before that game, everyone was not optimistic about Mace, and Chu Zhongtian had been recuperating from an injury before that, so I don't know if he can play.

As a result, Chu Zhongtian came off the bench to help the team complete the reversal, and finally defeated AC Milan and became the king of European kings that season.

The most memorable classic shot of this race is, of course, a 100-meter sprint race between Chu Zhongtian and Kaka. Kaka dribbled the ball in front, and Chu Zhongtian chased persistently in the back. In the final moments, Kaka's shot was blocked.

The camera captured Kaka's incredulous look in his eyes, and it was clear that he had no idea that someone would be able to stop his shot at this time.

Chu Zhongtian smiled: "Do you know what my mood was after blocking your shot?" ”

Kaka had a questioning look on his face.

"I clenched my fists with both hands and told myself that I had defeated Kaka, who was invincible in the world! Ha! ”

At that time, Kaka single-handedly led AC Milan to the Champions League final, and eventually helped the team win the Champions League, and was elected the world footballer of the year and the first person in world football with the European Ballon d'Or Award.

What about Chu Zhongtian at that time? In addition to leading Metz to win the League Cup, he is not well known by most people due to his presence in Ligue 1, and compared to Kaka, Chu Zhongtian is simply a nobody.

But now, there has been a replacement in the status of the two people, Chu Zhongtian is still at the peak of his career, and Kaka is already inevitably going downhill, and after he has been injured a few times, his physical fitness is not as good as before. If it weren't for Chu Zhongtian, today's Kaka might have been abandoned by Real Madrid long ago...... The invincible Kaka ...... in the world Kaka smiled wryly.

Chu Zhongtian noticed the change in his expression.

"You're still invincible."

Kaka shrugged, he knew that he was no longer the number one player in world football, for example, it was Barcelona's Messi who was invincible today.

But what is Chu who can freeze Messi?

Ruling the world is invincible, right?

Kaka remembered that he and Messi had been planted at Chu Zhongtian's feet, and he thought this idea was very interesting, and he couldn't help laughing again.

Kaka is a very cheerful person, and the bad mood is quickly dispelled by his laughter.

Chu Zhongtian didn't know what kind of nickname Kaka had given himself in his heart, but seeing Kaka smiling so happily, he thought that his mood should not be depressed now, so he put a little bit of refreshment.

'It's really amazing because I never thought I'd be able to play with you when we were opponents. Chu Zhongtian spread his hands.

Kaka said with a reverent expression on his face, "All this is arranged by the Lord's land. ”

Chu Zhongtian is not religious, and he is not interested in God Jesus, Allah, Allah, and Shakyamuni, but in front of a devout believer, he still understands the proper posture and politeness.

After Kaka finished praising the Lord, he continued to send low messages and tweets. He would love to meet his old friends in Milan, but due to time constraints, he will not have free time before the game, after which Real Madrid will have to rush back to Spain overnight to prepare for the league and the next leg of the semi-finals. I don't know what the result will be, and whether I will be in the mood to meet my old friends.

In fact, his friends at AC Milan until now believe that he should not move to Real Madrid, and if he continues at AC Milan, he must achieve more than he has achieved now. And if he is here, AC Milan will not experience such turmoil, at least the backbone of the body.

Although they did not approve of Kaka's move to Real Madrid, they still agreed that they would go to the San Siro Stadium tomorrow to watch the game.

AC Milan have already been knocked out of the quarter-finals and Allegri's Milan are struggling to rebuild. Although he won the league championship, considering that the level of Serie A is not even comparable to the Bundesliga, the Serie A championship does not mean anything. A team like AC Milan will not be satisfied with just dominating Serie A, they still value the Champions League more, and when they can return to glory in the Champions League is the most happy thing for them.

Now in terms of the number of Champions League titles, Real Madrid has nine times, AC Milan has seven, only two, if AC Milan can close this gap, even if it is overtaken to become the club with the most Champions League wins in history, it is not impossible.

Chu Zhongtian chatted with Kaka Suibiao for a few words, and then went to sleep. Before the competition, it is important to get enough sleep, which is the main reason why physical strength is not affected, and a person who is not well rested will not be able to play at the full strength in the key matches.

The reason why Chu Zhongtian was able to behave so steadily, with almost no ups and downs in his state, was related to his scientific and regular living habits. He seldom, or even never hangs in nightclubs, used to play in Metz and Hoffenheim are small places, such places do not have so many bright places and lively red light districts, naturally can not lure Chu Zhongtian, now in Madrid, Chu Zhongtian is still in a simple place, like a hermit, every day in addition to going to the sports city to train, is to go home, unless there is an event, will make an appointment with friends to get together.

His success is justified.

β€»β€»β€»When Chu Zhongtian opened his eyes again, it was already half past seven in the morning of the next day.

He rolled over and got up, and when he saw that Kaka was still asleep, he didn't wake him up, but opened the door and went out for breakfast after washing up by himself.

There weren't many people in the restaurant yet, and most of the Real Madrid players were still lying in bed or washing. However, Chu Zhongtian saw Mourinho in the restaurant.

He made a very large table and was eating.

When he saw Chu Zhongtian, he beckoned him to come over.

Chu Zhongtian noticed that Mourinho's eyes were bloodshot, and it was estimated that the manager didn't have much rest last night.

I don't know if I stayed up all night studying the video of the game, or if I didn't have a good rest because of the pressure.

"How did you sleep yesterday, Chu?" Mourinho asked.

"It's good." Chu Zhongtian replied.

"Well, that's good."

Chu Zhongtian is the player Mourinho relies on the most now, and Mourinho certainly has to care about his form.

Since that TV interview, the relationship between the two has warmed up rapidly, and now there is no trace of their previous contradictions.

"And Inter Milan, do you have any ideas, Chu?" Mourinho asked.

Chu Zhongtian is actually used to the head coach asking him such questions, and when he was at Hoffenheim, Rangnick often took the opportunity to be alone with him before training began.

Chu Zhongtian is the brain of the team, and his ideas sometimes bring some new ideas to the head coach, which may have a very important role, and it may not be ...... to play against them. Chu Zhongtian's answer was very simple.

Mourinho smiled.

The two of them were on the same page again.

Jose Mourinho is also looking to play against Inter Milan away from home. First of all, this is the home of Inter Milan, in the two-legged home-and-away game, the home game is a very important advantage, if you want to eliminate the opponent, you must try to beat the opponent in the home game, especially the home and away team, you must play the home game. If you can finish the two-legged match at home, the suspense will be completely killed.

Therefore, Inter Milan will definitely attack, and Leonardo is not Mourinho, so it is impossible to shrink back in defense and give up possession at his home stadium.

What Real Madrid has to do is very simple. First of all, they are away from home and there is much less pressure on the road than at home, so it doesn't matter if they lose the game in the end, as long as there are away goals. It's the away goals that matter, and the more the better.

So Inter Milan is the best option for Real Madrid. In terms of attacking strength, Real Madrid has such qualifications. From a tactical point of view, when the opponent gives a goal, there will inevitably be holes in the backline, and to seize such holes is to attack. In addition, Real Madrid is characterized by being fast and direct, and if the game can be brought to such a rhythm, I believe Inter Milan will not be able to stop it.

Jose Mourinho knows too well the teams he has coached.

But Chu Zhongtian was able to think of this, which was already remarkable.

"If you fight against each other...... We have to score goals and I don't care about losing, but it's worth losing 2:3. Mourinho said.

'Then the midfielder has to keep creating scoring opportunities for the front.' Chu Zhongtian said, and then he thought for a while: "I think it's okay." ”

Very confident.

β€»β€»β€»When the teammates came to the restaurant one after another to eat, Mourinho had already left, and the table where Chu Zhongtian was sitting kept having new teammates joining it, and it was soon filled. Everyone ate and chatted, and the upcoming quarter-finals of the Champions League in the evening did not put much pressure on them.

Real Madrid's unbelievable form this season has also boosted the self-confidence of many Real Madrid players. For them, there are only two kinds of enemies in this world, one is Barcelona and the other is the other.

Barcelona is a special one, and everyone will never be so leisurely until they deal with Barcelona.

Towards the end of breakfast, assistant coach Karanka appeared in the dining room, and he had come to inform him of today's day arrangement.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Lunch at 12 o'clock. Lunch break from 1 to 2 p.m. I went to the gym at half past two for physical recovery training. Dinner at half past four in the afternoon. Departure at half past five! ”

This is Mourinho's timetable, accurate to the hour, telling everyone what to do and what not to do.

With such a reasonable distribution and execution, it is not surprising that Real Madrid are in excellent form.

No one disputed this schedule, they were all used to it.

β€»β€»β€» Meazza Stadium, also known as the San Siro Stadium. It is the home of two rivals of the city of Milan, and Inter fans call it Meazza and claim that it is the official name, and this stadium can only be called Meazza. AC Milan fans don't care about that, they call the stadium "San Siro".

The story about the stadium can be said for three days and three nights, but today the stadium is not the protagonist.

Fans have been gathering around the stadium since around 5 p.m. and have been moving in one after another.

The television station did a live broadcast from the afternoon and some media found and Jose. Mourinho banners related to slogans.

There was a group of Inter Milan fans who did pull a pair that said "Jose, we are forever grateful!" The slogan appears in the shot.

However, there are always a minority, and most of the Inter Milan balls just walk past the camera camera with the Inter anthem singing.

Even if Mourinho brings more titles to this team, he is now an opponent of this team, and there is no need to cheer for his opponents.

As the fans were entering, both teams arrived at the stadium separately.

After resting in the locker room for dozens of minutes, I went out to warm up. At that time, the stands at the Meazza Stadium were almost full.

Kaka looked up at the stands as he warmed up.

He was no stranger to the course, having been the owner of the course for six years, and he was familiar with every inch of turf.

However, he didn't express any emotion, he once represented Real Madrid at the San Siro last season, playing against his former club AC Milan, if he wanted to feel emotional, he would have already sighed.

He was just looking for his old friends to see if they were in the VIP box.

He couldn't find it, so he had to go back into the warm-up.

Chu Zhongtian tried a long-range shot in the warm-up. The ball he shot was so powerful that it flew straight into the goal, and Casillas didn't even make a move to save the ball, and let the ball fly in.

After shooting the ball, Chu Zhongtian evaluated it himself, and he felt that it felt good to shoot today. It seems that he is going to shoot far in the game. Even if you can't score, you can help other teammates open up the situation.

He remembers how he played Inter Milan at home when he was at Hoffenheim.

A succession of threatening long-range shots scared the Inter defenders, and in the end he scored a goal with a long-range shot.

To play against Inter Milan, long-range shooting is an indispensable heavy weapon.

He made a gesture to Kaka, motioning for Kaka to cross the ball to him. Kaka did so.

When the football rolled over, Chu Zhongtian did not stop the ball, but directly volleyed with his foot, and the football once again roared and flew into the goal.

Casillas waved his hand: "Hey, Chu! ”

Chu Zhongtian stomped his feet and found that feeling.

The warm-up was over quickly. The players from both sides retreated into the dressing room, and the scene that had just been noisy because of the warm-up was a little quieter, and everyone continued to strengthen, waiting for the game to begin.

At this time, the locker room is the main thing. The managers of both sides will be here for the last pre-war mobilization, and any previous mistakes will have to be made up for here. Once the game starts, there's really only so much the manager can do, and not everyone is like Tony. Don is so good at commanding on the spot...... So they tell the players everything they can think of before the game and tell them to pay attention on the pitch.

For Leonardo, this is an opportunity to erase the traces of Mourinho in this team once and for all. As long as he wins against Jose Mourinho, no one will miss Mourinho after losing the Milan derby, and he will miss Mourinho after being eliminated from the Champions League...... He's done a lot of preparation for this fight, and now it's finally here.
