Chapter 126: Inter's dressing room

Inter's surprise defeat away to Palermo was even more shocking than Lazio's sudden rise at home to a four-goal win over Roma.

The pre-game state was so good, and an unbeaten Inter Milan ushered in its first defeat of the season.

The vast majority of people didn't expect it.

In the press conference after the game, Mancini's face was very unpleasant.

What does he have to say about the loss to Palermo?

"We didn't have a lot of luck in this game...... That's the way football is, sometimes you try hard and you don't win, but anyway I'm not worried [Lazio] because we're the leaders, even if it's just one point, we're the leaders. ”

Mancini's inner weakness is actually something that everyone can see.

Before, the media ridiculed Chang Sheng's dead duck's hard mouth, but now it is Mancini's turn to die with a hard duck's mouth.

Chang Sheng saw Mancini's post-match press conference on TV and laughed.

The psychological warfare has begun, mancini dude, it's too late for you to run even if you want to!

That night, Chang Sheng left a message for Mancini on his personal website.

"Dear Mancho, you're already starting to worry because you're only one point ahead of us and you know what the outcome will be. I'm sure no one else knows in your heart that you just don't want to admit it. ”

The advantage of having his own personal website is that he doesn't have to call reporters for a press conference, and he doesn't have to wait until tomorrow after they go to work to be interviewed, and he can publish his views and opinions as soon as possible. As long as you bookmark his personal website, you can see his spicy comments on various times in international football for the first time.

Of course, most of it is related to himself.

Therefore, the next morning, the newspapers that went on the market could see reporters reprinting Chang Sheng's comments on Mancini.

That's what you want to do with your winnings.

Psychological warfare has to come in waves, so that Mancini has no respite at all.

It created a posture of mountain rain coming and the wind was full of buildings, which made him nervous and panicked.

His goal has been achieved.

※※※

The next day. Sure enough, many media reprinted Chang Sheng's words on his personal website.

Linked to Inter's performance against Palermo, Mancini really seems to be starting to worry.

If it was just Chang Sheng who said this, Mancini could naturally laugh it off.

But when everyone starts saying that, Mancini, a manager with average psychological qualities, naturally starts to have self-doubt.

That's what we want to achieve.

All the Italian media commented on Inter's defeat to Palermo.

Most of these media wanted Inter to win, but Inter Milan lost, and the gap between them and their expectations was a bit big, and they were angry and disappointed to criticize Mancini and Inter Milan in their own positions.

But they seem to have forgotten that Mancini is not always winning. It's not that strong in heart. Will Mancini be able to remain calm in the face of such overwhelming criticism?

※※※

In fact, Mancini was able to endure the criticism of the media, but when Chang Sheng spoke, Mancini really began to worry.

He had the feeling of being targeted from behind by a tiger. He didn't dare to make any movements, not even to run. So there were layers of sweat on my back.

The clothes and panties are soaking wet.

Chang Sheng was as confident as ever, and his confidence was convincing after the big win over Roma.

And Inter Milan has just lost, everyone's morale has been hit, and Mancini will naturally lose confidence.

As the odds went on, Mancini was nervous.

What he is most worried about now is that Chang Sheng suddenly exerts his strength......

Moreover, those who swore that Lazio did not have an advantage over Inter Milan, so the media, who were more optimistic about Inter Milan, were also a little relaxed at this time.

A sworn enemy who has just won a big victory over the city. One loses to a mid-stream team away from home, and the momentum is completely different, so it's really hard to say who wins and who loses against these two teams......

Looking at these comments, Mancini suddenly had a feeling that the whole world had abandoned me - you had lifted me up to the clouds before. Now that Lazio is showing a slight hint of upward momentum, you're all going to pick up Lazio's stinky feet!

Poor Mancini was still in the air, helpless. There wasn't even a thing around him to grab onto, and then he began to fall rapidly. Weightlessness made him dizzy and terrified......

※※※

Chang Sheng's psychological warfare against Inter Milan was not over, and he began to fan the flames in Inter's dressing room.

The Inter dressing room is perhaps the most interesting of the Italian team.

If Lazio is the team that most resembles Spain in Serie A, then Inter Milan is the team with the most Argentine imprint in Serie A.

Moratti is obviously Italian, but he has a special preference for Argentinians.

As a result, there are many Argentine players in the Inter Milan team, which also bought the foreshadowing and created conditions for the rise of Inter Milan's largest gang "Barbecue Gang" in the future.

In fact, there are not many factions in Inter's dressing room, but the relationship is intricate enough.

To put it simply, Inter Milan's dressing room has undergone a transition from a "multi-party system" to a "two-party system" to a "one-party system".

The era of the "multi-party system" was a time of turmoil for Inter Milan, and there was no desire to form cliques in the dressing room, so although there were many small groups, they were all scattered and could not form a climate. This is the so-called "multi-party system".

Then Mancini came to Inter Milan and he changed the landscape in the Inter dressing room. Because of the introduction of Veron, since then, the Argentine players of Inter Milan, under the guidance of Veron, a player who is deeply loved by Mancini, have gradually become a gang organization from the dressing room.

The gang of Argentine players is known as the "barbecue gang" among Chinese fans. Because the Argentine players had nothing to do, they gathered at the home of captain Zanetti to hold an open-air barbecue party. However, the leader of the "barbecue gang" is not Zanetti, but Veron.

In addition to the rising "barbecue gang", the Lazio gang, with Mancini as the spiritual leader and Mikhailovic as the party leader, also began to surface and participate in the regime. The Lazio gang is small. But there are not many expensive soldiers, one is the head coach of the team, and the other is a veteran who is loved by the head coach, and their status is very important.

Here we must interject a word about Mancini as a person.

Mancini is notoriously cronyistic, he only uses people he knows and likes, and he never uses people he doesn't like. So Mikhailovich, including Stankovic, received a lot of reuse from Mancini.

Vieri was the only superstar in the Inter Milan team at the time. There is also Beijing, Italy, and he is unconsciously the leader of the Italian gang.

Adriano was still a newcomer at that time, and his roots were forward, so he was non-partisan.

At this time, although there were many gangs in Inter Milan, all forces were in the stage of finding out. So there's not much friction. However, due to Vieri's declining form and departure from the team at the end of the 2004-2005 season, the Italian gang gradually declined. Adriano succeeded in taking the position, replacing Vieri as the only superstar in the team, and was given the privilege of meeting Moratti in person after Ronaldo and Vieri.

As a result, Inter Milan's dressing room evolved into Adriano, Grill and Lazio.

The Grill Gang grew after the influx of various Argentine players, but the Lazio Gang was because of Roberto Mancini. Still the most influential gang in Inter Milan.

In addition, as Adriano became famous, the Brazilian gang was slowly forming. However, because of Adriano's unreliable leader, the Brazilian gang has never really taken shape......

As the leader of the barbecue gang, Veron is very unaccustomed to the loose Brazilians.

So he and Adriano have always had conflicts. Later, this contradiction finally broke out in the love song stadium. Inter Milan were eliminated from the Champions League after losing to Villarreal. The media broke the news that Veron and Adriano had a big fight in the locker room, and Mancinila couldn't hold it.

As a consequence of this, Veron left Inter Milan at the end of the 2005-2006 season. Returned to Argentina.

The implications of this incident are far-reaching for Inter's dressing room politics.

Because in the past, Veron because of his background as a Lazio player. So he is the leader of the Rotisserie Gang and a key member of the Lazio Gang. Under his mediation, the Rotisserie Gang unconditionally supported the Lazio Gang, which made the Lazio Gang the most influential gang in the Italian dressing room at that time.

But Veron left Inter Milan, and the Lazio gang was blamed by the media for the failure of the Love Song Stadium, and gradually declined.

Under such circumstances, how could the Barbecue Gang be willing to live under others?

But after Veron is gone, who will be the rookie leader of the Inter Milan Barbecue Gang?

At that time, Inter Milan had several Argentine players in the team: captain Zanetti, forwards Cruz and Crespo, central defender Samuel, and midfielder Cambiaso.

Cruise was born with a good life, and he has been mixed in small and medium-sized teams for a long time, so he is naturally not qualified to be a helper.

Crespo used to play for Lazio, and because of this relationship, he was not qualified to be a helper.

Samuel is an honest man, and he can't be a helper.

Actually, captain Zanetti is a suitable person, but why didn't he do it? Because he is the captain, the leader of the first team, it is better to remain neutral, at least nominally......

In this way, it is natural that only Cambiaso is eligible......

As a result, Cambiaso was pushed onto the stage of history by the situation.

The young player who was satisfied with just playing a rotation under the winning team now has his own ambitions.

Not only is he the main core on the pitch, but he also has to be the core in the dressing room.

However, Perón and Adriano fought, and in the end, Veron did leave in disgrace, and the brutal political struggle taught Cambiaso two things.

First, it's okay not to tear your face with the superstar that Moratti values.

Second, the gun shoots the first bird, and the muffled voice seeks development. Look at the Lazio gang, who are calling for wind and rain at Inter Milan and have a huge influence, and the result? As soon as he lost, he was hacked out of the media and is now in jeopardy.

So in the 2006-2007 season, Cambiaso and his barbecue gang stepped onto the stage of history, but it was not conspicuous, and no one even knew that the Argentine players in the Inter dressing room had changed a little.

Then, this summer, another person came to the dressing room, and this man in a sense surpassed Ronaldo, Vieri, Adriano and other predecessors. Because he alone, without party affiliation, has established an absolute position in the locker room in one season.

This person is called Gelatan. Ibrahimovic.

After the phone gate, he moved from Juventus to Inter Milan.

It's less than a season yet, but it's already half a season.

Adriano's slump at the World Cup was carried over by him to Inter Milan. As a result, he gradually lost his position, and he also lost his former privileges in front of Moratti.

However, Ibrahimovic was pleasantly pampered by Mancini's surprise and played better and better. immediately captured the "heart" of Moratti, a heavy forward control. The position of King Meaza was thus passed to Ibrahimovic. Ibrahimovic thus received the privilege of detachment in the dressing room.

……

Chang Sheng is familiar with this set of things.

He knows that now Ibrahimovic is establishing his dressing room status, not yet successful, but close to it.

All he has to do now is add chaos to Inter's dressing room.

Tsukami took the initiative against Ibrahimovic on his website: "If Roberto Mancini wants to win the league title, I think buying Ibrahimovic might be the right choice. But if they want to pursue the Champions League, they'd better sell the Swedes. Look at my Valencia, that's the role model! ”
