Chapter 115: The Beginning of Blue and Black
When He Xu made his second appearance in two months, it was already after the first matchday of the second round of the Serie A league. AC Milan, which suffered He Xu's escape from this blow, actually lost to the relegation team Livorno in a home upset.
This kind of blow does not refer to the competitive level, a small substitute who can't make it to the squad, and leaving naturally will not cause any damage to the muscles and bones. The blow comes from the psychological and momentum level. Being poached by a sworn enemy, this kind of thing makes people feel crazy when they think about it. However, this kind of thing happened.
In fact, Van Basten didn't know anything about this matter before He Xu announced his decision, and although he was very sorry for the departure of his disciple, he also secretly felt a little happy. The team's future was pushed to a dead end by a group of people who thought more about other things than football, and he couldn't understand the unilateral intrigue between Allegri and Barbara. As for He Xu, who suffered from the pond fish because of himself, he could only apologize and secretly applaud his beautiful transfer.
He Xu obviously didn't have the heart to blame his mentor, because his heart was full of joy to wear his favorite jersey number. He Xu stood beside Benitez, holding the blue and black No. 9 jersey in his hand. Previously, this was Samuel Eto'o's number, but the African cheetah chose to leave Russia this summer in search of the highest salary in football today. Therefore, He Xu also successfully picked up a leak, arrived on the last day, and put on this dress.
Going back further, this number once belonged to "Ivan the Horror" Zamorano, and it also belonged to "Alien" Ronaldo. Today, it belongs to He Xu......
Inter Milan, who lost in the first round of the league, is facing a serious weakness in the front, and Argentine prince Diego Milito has been plagued by injuries after the glory of the 2009~2010 season, and his form has not been very good. Pazzini's performance is remarkable, but he can't stand alone after all, so after He Xu appeared, he simply underwent a physical examination and devoted himself to training.
Speaking of which, Inter also has to thank the Milan laboratory. It is precisely because of the physical examination made for He Xu there that Inter dared to simplify the indispensable item of physical examination so confidently and boldly. As the most authoritative medical organization, the test results of the Milan laboratory are always infallible, right?
After He Xu appeared, he came to Inter's training ground the next day. I am actively engaged in the preparation of the new season. Yes, the new season, for He Xu, has just begun.
There are also many big-name stars in the Inter Milan team, and He Xu still clearly remembers that in the season of 2009~2010, Inter Milan defeated his favorite team Barcelona and became the European champion. At that time, I was still uncomfortable for several days.
Most of the main players at the time of winning the Champions League were still in the team at this time, goalkeeper Julio Cesar, defenders Lucio, Samuel and McConn, midfield core Sneijder, Cambiasso and Thiago Motta, and the biggest contributor to the attack, Diego Milito. And, of course, there's the eternal youngster, Javier Zanetti, Inter Milan's meritorious captain.
The veteran captain, who has played for Inter Milan all his life, came to the new players as usual. This all-round player, who has been playing for Inter since He Xu was one year old, has even more authority in the team than the head coach. Looking at He Xu, he stretched out his hand to He Xu with his usual friendly smile, "Welcome here, young man!" ”
He Xu shook Zanetti's hand, not knowing what to say. He looked around the dressing room, which was different from the red and black of Milan, where it was all blue and black, and the cool tones made people feel very oppressive, but it was the color of glory and victory in the hearts of the players here.
He Xu knows that the snake spirit is the symbol of this team, and he feels that this symbol is actually very suitable for him, as a striker, he can also be like a snake, killing with one blow.
The opponent in the second round of the league is Fiorentina, Inter Milan hosts the proud Purple Lily, and to everyone's surprise, Benitez announced that He Xu, who has just joined, has entered the 23-man squad. However, he will not play as a starter. Although he didn't start, he brought He Xu with him as soon as he joined, which was enough to shock the Italian media. Many Milan media outlets arrogantly said: "This is completely a symptom of the weakness of Inter, who have started to use the players we have abandoned. You can see how weak their forward line is! ”
Benitez said nothing about this claim, and did not refute or ridicule it. He Xu, who was caught by the media during the training, also remained silent, and He Xu chose not to say anything about many ill-intentioned questions.
This also made the media feel a little unusual, when did this Chinese kid become so mature and forbearing? It's not in his usual style.
In fact, He Xu knows more about the media than anyone else, this is such a strange existence, it will make you unhappy, but you don't need to care about it at all.
In the locker room at the end of the last training session before the game, the veteran captain Zanetti deliberately found He Xu, who was about to drink saliva and continue to practice, was pulled aside by the Argentine.
He Xu looked at this senior who was nineteen years older than himself in puzzlement, "Javier, do you have something?" ”
Perhaps it is a common problem of older people, Zanetti said a little nervously: "He, I have seen those reports from the outside world that are not favorable to you, you don't pay attention to these, the media, that's it, you don't need to care too much about what they say......"
He Xu looked at Zanetti, who was quite worried about himself in front of him, and smiled, "Don't worry!" Javier, I understand, the media, if you take them too seriously, you lose. I'm going to do it for them! I want them to know that losing me is a loss next door! ”
"Next door, next door?"
"Oh, that's AC Milan."
Sneijder, who was packing up his things next to He Xu, listened and patted He Xu's shoulder, "Don't worry!" I'll pass you the ball, boy, and let's go beat them together. ”
He Xu shrugged his shoulders, he was satisfied with the atmosphere. Here, all the people are very direct, unlike AC Milan, where people seem intimate but are separated by an invisible film.
Xiao Luo, who had just lost, lay in a seat in a nightclub and said to Robinho, who was drinking: "It's a pity! He that kid just left, my biggest regret is that I didn't take him to the nightclub to play. When he said this, he didn't look at Pato, who was pale.
The match against Fiorentina took place on Sunday evening local time, and He Xu took a deep breath as he first stood on the turf of Meaza to warm up.
In the past, several matches were played at Milanello's stadium, so this is the first time he has come to the stadium that has carried so much history. Because when he joined Inter, the league had already begun, so He Xu did not appear on the field, but simply carried out a ceremony to display the jersey.
Zanetti passed a ball to He Xu, "Hey! Ho, say hello to the fans! Let everyone know you! ”
He Xu naturally understood what Zanetti meant, and he sent the ball to the stands with a big foot, causing a scramble among the fans. In the stands, many Inter fans pointed to He Xu under the field and laughed, in their opinion, even if their current No. 9 can't play, it can make Milan disgusting enough, right?
However, this idea only appeared in the first half, and at halftime, He Xu was told by Benitez to warm up well and wait for the opportunity to play in the second half. And this opportunity came quickly, before the start of the second half, Benitez directly replaced the in-form Diego Milito with He Xu, and let him partner Pazzini in the attack. He Xu's blue-black career began.
He Xu was a little surprised, happiness always came so suddenly, and when he walked into the venue at the end of the team, he even had a sense of unreality. A week ago, he was struggling for a chance to play at AC Milan. And today, I have already played in the shirt of Inter Milan, and life is really impermanent. He Xu sighed with emotion and seemed to forget that he was an internationally renowned superstar more than a year ago.
It was Inter Milan who kicked off in the second half, He Xu and Pazzini stood face to face in the center circle, and He Xu took a breath gently. Pazzini looked at him, and He Xu was smiling at him, "Come on, Gian-Paul." ”
Pazzini struggled against his former club as Diego Milito was not in good form, so he took on most of the defensive pressure alone. He often had to face two or three people in the sandwich, which also made Pazzini very uncomfortable.
The fans in the stands sang the team song to cheer up the team, looking at He Xu on the field, they thought: This kid actually played? It's a surprise, he shouldn't be able to score, after all, he doesn't know how he is in shape. Ajax's top scorer last season, don't be kidding, how does the Dutch defense compare with our Italy? Even if he doesn't score, he should be able to make the Milan crowd uncomfortable on the field, haha.
As sworn enemies in the same city, the relationship between the two teams is naturally not good. Although hatred is a bit exaggerated, as long as they can do something to make their opponents unhappy, they will be happy.
Just as they were thinking so, He Xu received his first pass at Inter Milan, and the person who passed the ball was Sneijder, the core of the midfield.
After Mourinho's departure, Sneijder's form has declined very seriously, which also makes Benitez very unhappy, but as the world's silver ball man, it is not easy to be so abandoned.
Sneijder's pass was comfortable, and with his trademark over-the-top pick-and-roll pass, He Xu relied on his speed to accelerate and get rid of the Fiorentina defender who was close to him, stretched out his foot and stopped the ball forward......
