Restricted Superstar

After reaching the top 16, Inter Milan only rested for three days, and then sent Bergamo to challenge the deputy squad leader Atlanta.

Although Atlanta gave Mourinho the biggest loss last season, they performed poorly this season. Even if Mourinho can't direct on the spot, the Inter Milanese don't believe they can cause trouble for themselves.

Just promoted to captain, Gao Xiaodong is full of ambition and looks forward to winning his first victory as captain at the Blue Italy Stadium.

However, after the start of the game, Gao Xiaodong soon felt that the situation was not right. The opponent was not as weak as he thought, and his teammates were obviously out of shape, not running actively, not excited, and always not in the same rhythm when cooperating with him.

At this time, the captain Zanetti should come out and shout, but Zanetti is more restrained, likes to work silently in the game, does not like to command teammates, at this moment Gao Xiaodong as a team deputy, of course also has the power to boost the morale of his teammates.

"Brothers! This can't work! Work harder!"

"We can't lose to the deputy squad leader."

"Run! Get the ball! How can I pass the ball without running!"

...

Gao Xiaodong yelled to his teammates dancing and dancing, but the effect was mediocre. He just experienced the fierce battle of the Champions League, and after exhausting his efforts to reach the top 16, the players' spirit and body were relaxed. Think about it. It is difficult to mention.

Atlanta has a terrible record this season, but they played Inter Milan very well. Last season they played Inter Milan 3:1 at home and 3:4 away. They played Inter Milan in embarrassment. The task of relegation this season is arduous. There is no game in the middle of the week. They have good physical fitness and fighting spirit. Wang, it will not be easy for Inter Milan to win them.

Mourinho, who was sitting in the stands, didn't look good. He kept talking on the phone with Baresi, who was directing the game for him, telling him what to do.

Today’s game was very strange. Not only Mourinho was banned, but also Atlanta’s head coach Conte was also banned. He also sat in the stands to command remotely, but compared to Mourinho, Conte was much calmer. The team performed well, he didn't need to give too much instructions, just let the players play freely.

Under the mad dog of Atlanta players, Inter Milan made a lot of mistakes in passing and receiving the ball and couldn't play offensively. After Samuel was injured, Cordoba, who replaced him, was poor in air defense. This was also exploited by the Atlanta players. Constantly putting pressure on Inter Milan's penalty area, offense and defense are not good, Inter Milan players are a little impatient.

In the 20th minute of the game, Cambiasso almost made an own goal when he made a clearance. Fortunately, goalkeeper Cesar blocked the ball with his toes.

In the 30th minute, Balotelli vented his dissatisfaction to the referee Rizzoli after being brought down by De Asentis and was warned by a yellow card instead.

Inter Milan was slightly dominant in the first half, but failed to score. During the intermission, Mourinho made detailed tactical arrangements for the players in the locker room. In order to reduce the burden of Gao Xiaodong's return to defense, Mourini Ao also replaced Córdoba with Materazzi to strengthen the air defense in the center.

Obviously Inter Milan's problem is not a problem of one or two positions. They are mental slack and physical exhaustion after the fierce battle. After Mourinho finished tactical deployment and adjustments in the midfield, Inter Milan did not improve much. They played ten in the second half. In a few minutes, Inter Milan still failed to break the deadlock, which made Mourinho anxious.

When Mourinho was talking on the phone with Baresi, he suddenly found that a reporter was holding a camera close to him and eavesdropping on his call. Mourinho knew him, and he was Ramazzotti of "Roma Sport". , The relationship with Mourinho is not good, which makes Mourinho very angry. He took off his mobile phone and said to Ramazzotti: "Mr Ramazzotti, please stay away from me."

Ramazzotti said: "Coach Jose, I have an interview certificate."

Mourinho said sternly: "You are not allowed to stay by my side, go back to your sidelines."

"Well, you are such a stingy fellow." Ramazzotti left angrily, Mourinho ignored him and continued to direct the game.

When the situation on the court was at a stalemate, Gao Xiaodong and Milito finally called. In 75 minutes of the game, he found Milito in the penalty area with an exquisite through pass. Milito took the ball on the left side of the penalty area and faced the three people. Surrounded, he waded across Bianco extremely calmly, then took him away from Manfredini, and volleyed his right foot into the near corner at 12 meters in front of the goal, rewriting the score to 1 to 0!

Originally, this goal could give Inter Milan a peace of mind to fight Atlanta's counterattack, but less than three minutes after Milito scored, Gao Xiaodong almost gave Balotelli a pass in the same position.

Balotelli stopped and swayed a defender. The other defender shoveled at Balotelli's feet when he cleared the siege. Balotelli fell and the ball was destroyed and broke the baseline.

Seeing that the referee Rizzoli did not penalize his opponent, Balotelli became angry and got up and knocked down the Atlanta defender. The referee Rizzoli took out a yellow card to warn Balotelli. See if Balotelli has another one. With a yellow card, Balotelli sent a red card out of the field.

Balotelli's red card made Mourinho very angry. He yelled at the stadium and scolded Balotelli.

Originally, Inter Milan’s physical fitness and form were problematic, and now they have one less player. This game is difficult. Inter Milan was crushed by Atalanta in his own half. At the end, in the 88th minute, Atlanta equalized the score. Inter Milan played one less and was in poor form. He was never able to overtake the score again, and was tied 1:1 by Atlantis in the away game.

However, because Juventus and AC Milan, who played in the Champions League, all lost, Inter Milan drew and expanded their lead.

After the game, Mourinho accepted an interview with Inter Milan TV. In the interview, Mourinho discovered that the reporter of "Roma Sport" Ramazzotti didn't know when he went to eavesdrop not far from him.

Mourinho, who was upset by the draw, broke out. He yelled at Ramazzotti: "Asshole, you get out of here!"

Ramazzotti didn't expect Mourinho to be so rude, he became angry too, and said: "Sir, you can't do this to me, I am a reporter, I have the right to interview!"

Mourinho walked over quickly, pushing Ramazzotti with his chest, "Get away! You thief!"

Ramazzotti was caught off guard and was pushed back by Mourinho. The cameras fell to the ground. Ramazzotti was so angry that he wanted to go over and argue with Mourinho, but was pulled away by reporters and security guards.

Due to the loss of the title rivals Juventus and AC Milan, the away match by Atlantis was nothing. The conflict between Mourinho and reporter Ramazzotti became the focus of the match.

The League of Italian Journalists issued a statement condemning Mourinho's actions. League President Luigi Ferraiolo said: “The physical and verbal attack by Inter Milan’s coach Jose Mourinho on our colleague Andrea Ramazzotti is a harmonious relationship between football and the media. The lowest point and the most daunting moment. We ask the sports court to act in accordance with the principle of the club’s attack on the responsibility of journalists, review Mourinho’s actions and impose possible sanctions. Mourinho is already in contact with Kazan The Ruby’s Champions League game showed rudeness and lack of respect to some of our colleagues. This attack is an irresponsible and unacceptable deterioration of that behavior. The league must not only show our indignation, but also This behavior designed to increase tension and confrontation shows serious concern."

The Italian Football Association also stated that it will investigate the matter and if it is true, it will increase the penalty for Mourinho's suspension.

Mourinho saw that the incident was a bit loud, and he had to explain it to the public. "I told Mr. Ramazzotti before three or four games that I don’t want him to enter our team bus and eavesdrop on us. Interview. After that, I kept repeating this to him. I reiterated it to him when I was in Barcelona, ​​and then in Bergamo, for the first and last time, I didn’t use the term “sir” to call him, but used another One way to call him. The above is my version. It is a pity that Mr. Ramazzotti is not here, but he can prove that what I am saying is the truth. This is the result of a situation I don’t like. Why am I Can’t apologize to the reporters publicly? Because our argument didn’t happen in public. At that time, there was no one but me, Roberto Scarpini, and the reporter. Any problems between men can be resolved. But I hope that’s it. The best way to settle this matter is to use humor and tell him that I am looking forward to his Christmas gift, because the most famous Ramazzotti to this day is Heros Ramazzotti (Italian national treasure singer) , And for a few days Andre Ramazzotti became a celebrity."

However, Ramazzotti does not appreciate Mourinho’s humor. He thinks Mourinho is sarcastic that he wants to be famous. He said that if Mourinho didn’t apologize to him, he would not give Mourinho Christmas. Gift.

Seeing that there is a growing trend in this matter, Inter Milan President Moratti had to be well-known to mediate and explain to reporters. He said: "I have talked with Mourinho, and I hope he and the team are both More calm. His current anxious mood has affected the mood of Inter Milan players. If this continues, it is likely to affect the team's performance. The team is now the leader of Serie A and has already rushed to 16 in the Champions League. Strong, the war with the media is meaningless and harmful. In the near future, Jose will go to the Italian Football Association with the club’s deputy general manager, Ferrucci, to submit his statement to the prosecutor. Jose is not an impolite or rude person. People, Ramazzotti is an educated, polite, and professional journalist. I believe they will understand each other."

Under the mediation of Moratti, Mendes, Inter Milan star Altobelli and others, Ramazzotti and Mourinho finally settled in private, but because Mourinho did not apologize in public, he and the Italian media The relationship has not been eased...
