46. Football? Crazy Daddy (23)
The second pinnacle coaching derby between Gerrard and Dino ended with a final score of 0:2.
Inter lost by two goals!
On the pitch, the Barcelona players, who were the winners, ran wild on the Meaza stadium to celebrate, and their fans cheered with them as they ran.
Even Dino couldn't sit still and stood up and applauded the players, with a relieved expression on his face.
On the bench on the other side of the pitch, Gerrard was expressionless.
This time, the media reporters were no longer lucky enough to enjoy the scene of the two coaches in the same frame.
Compared with the situation of the Barcelona team, all the players of Inter Milan knew that this time they were embarrassed and embarrassed, and they all stood together silently.
At midnight, Gerald came home tired, and as soon as he entered the living room, he saw that Legato was still waiting for him after his bedtime.
Gerald was stunned for a moment and asked, "It's so late." Why don't you sleep yet? You have to go to school early tomorrow morning, don't you? β
Lian Yin hummed and got up to greet him, "I want to say goodnight to you before going to sleep." β
Gerald smiled helplessly, approached her, reached out and stroked the top of her head, and said, "Good night, my daughter." β
Lien said, "Good night, my dad." β
Gerald nudged her and told her to go back to her room.
Lian Yin took two steps, then turned to him and said, "Dad, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, don't care too much." β
This time Gerald didn't agree with her words as much as he used to, and didn't even give more expressions.
Lian Yin looked at him like this and knew that his state of mind was all messed up by tonight's game.
After looking at each other and being silent for a while, Lian Yin continued to persuade him: "One game, two goals, this is not a final conclusion. You've got a chance to get out of the group, you've got knockouts, you've got semi-finals, you've got finals. You still have so many opportunities to prove that you are good. β
Gerald finally showed his expression, he smiled helplessly, and said, "I know, my legato. I wasn't knocked down by a little game tonight. Tonight is my problem, it's that I don't have a good strategy. β
Lian Yin did not answer him immediately, but looked at him again and again, and after making sure that his words were not just used to deal with her, she answered: "Tonight is just a test that God has set for you. The test is for the greater success of tomorrow. β
Gerald couldn't help but laugh, he thought his daughter was so good at cheering people up. He also likes this kind of legato very much, which can give him a lot of courage to keep going.
He also knew that if he didn't regain hope, Lian Yin would definitely continue to worry about him. So Gerald reached out again and patted the top of her head in order to reassure Lianyin, reassuring, "Don't worry." I'm not going to be so angry about this little game. Just like yours, there are knockouts, there are semi-finals, there are finals, and he and I can always meet again. It always proves that my existence is better than his. "I want to say this last thing to the Barcelona club management.
"I believe in you." Lian Yin smiled.
Early the next morning, various newspapers and magazines reported the result of the match between Inter and Barcelona, and the words used in the report were extremely unfriendly to Gerrard, which was unprecedented in the past.
Gerald didn't say anything, silently read all the reports, and then went back to work as usual. He is fine, but on the contrary, the Inter players are worried, and they always feel that it is the calm before the storm.
Also because of the fear that Gerrard may say that he will explode into a hot temperament, it is rare for Inter players to no longer need Gerrard's urging to become serious.
The Serie A league continues, as does the Champions League group stage.
As the year approached the end of the year, Inter Milan behaved more and more bravely as they did last year. Unlike last year, where Steven Girard spurred them on, this year it was the players who worked on their own.
In the next matches, Inter were undefeated. Even if they meet AC Milan, the fierce rival of the city derby, or Juventus, which has always been strong, they will no longer be able to take a single benefit from Inter.
In the Champions League group stage, the two goals that Inter Milan lost against Barcelona got a lot of points back from the Russian team.
By the end of the Champions League group stage, Inter and Barcelona were both in the knockout squad. Originally, only 16 teams were retained according to the final score, and these 16 teams were divided into two groups.
The knockout rounds were drawn by UEFA in Nyon, Switzerland. At the draw ceremony, Inter did not face Barcelona, but met Chelsea in the Premier League.
After the draw ceremony, the Champions League went into a short break, and it was not until February of the following year that the first leg was played in February, the second leg in March, and the two legs to determine the quarter-finals. The teams that reach the quarterfinals will be drawn again to determine their final opponents.
In the quarterfinals, both Inter and Barcelona were indomitable, and soon both entered the final four again, becoming a member of the potential to compete for the title.
After the top 8 list is released, the eight teams will be greeted by the semi-final grouping. All eyes were on the final grouping, and when the draw announced that Inter and Barcelona had split into one group, many could not tell how to describe the mood at the moment.
But Gerald laughed.
Just like Lienyin said to him, and like he said to Lienin. There were times when he and Barcelona met, either in the knockout rounds, semi-finals, or finals.
In this way, God still favored him, and he misplaced all the way to the semi-finals before rearranging their meeting.
In the first game of the semi-finals, Inter Milan once again faced Barcelona at the Meazza Stadium. Just where we lost the game last time, we will fight Barcelona again.
Not to mention such an important match, as long as Gerrard participated, Lian Yin never missed a game. When the game was about to start, Gerrard unusually did not stick to the bench, but walked to the audience and asked the legato sitting in the front row, "My daughter, do you think your dad will win this game?" β
Lian Yin replied without thinking: "Of course I will win." After answering, she thought that Gerald today was different from the past, she thought that she was keen to ask her that the only system was to win or lose the game, why did Gerald ask her that.
Gerald smiled when he heard the answer, made an OK gesture at Lianyin, and walked back to the bench with the old god pacing.
The game officially began five minutes later.
After the Barcelona team took over as its own coach Dino, he always took the route of both offensive and gorgeous, adhering to Barcelona's game tactics in the past few decades.
Originally, this style of play was also the best chance of winning against GΓ©rald's defensive counterattack, but at the beginning of today, Gerrard surprised everyone.
