Restricted Superstar

In the morning of the Milan Derby, Inter Milan continued to have good news.

First, the coach Jose Mourinho won the third place in the 2009 World's Best Coaches Selection of the International League of Football History and Statistics (iffhs). Just behind Barcelona coach Guardiola and Manchester United coach Ferguson.

Mourinho had previously won first place in this award in 2004 and 2005, and once again won second place.

According to the performance and record of 130 club and national team coaches from 1996 to 2009, Mourinho ranked fifth.

Considering that the top four are Ferguson, Lippi, Wenger and Hiddink who have coached for many years, and Mourinho only started coaching in 2000, this ranking is a huge honor for Mourinho.

Subsequently, in UEFA's best team selection this year, Gao Xiaodong was selected with high votes. He is also the only Inter Milan player to be selected for the best team. However, his position was not selected as a midfielder, but a striker. Obviously, he can see This is mainly in recognition of Gao Xiaodong's great success in Porto, not his performance in Inter Milan.

Of course, Inter Milan's 20-round unbeaten performance in Serie A also brought them a huge honor.

In the 13th annual Oscar selection of Italian football hosted by the Italian Football League, mediaprojet and sportitalia, Inter Milan became the number one winner, sweeping the best team, best coach, best goalkeeper, best scorer and most fan favorite player Five awards.

Mourinho is the best coach, Cesar was elected the best goalkeeper, Milito is the best scorer, and Gao Xiaodong is the most fan favorite player.

As Inter Milan is preparing for the Milan Derby, Chairman Massimo Moratti received the award on behalf of the team and the players.

After receiving the award, Moratti praised his coach and players fiercely: "I am very satisfied with the personality displayed by the team and such a high level of professionalism.

Jose. Mourinho is the most professional coach I have ever met, not just in the football world. I wish him continued victory. It is a pleasure to work with him.

I am very happy that Milito won the grand prize and hope he will be re-elected next year. We all like him and respect him very much.

Gao Xiaodong is an amazing player. He surprises us every minute. I hope he can stay in Inter Milan for many years.

Cesar is our pinnacle. In my mind, he is better than Buffon. Of course, I think our team is the best player in the world and they should all win the prize. "

Then Moratti also talked about the Milan Derby, which will go to war in the evening. "It is very interesting to see the contest between these two coaches who are extremely intelligent and rigorous, but whose personalities and understanding of football are completely different. Milan has the most. The threatening player is Ronaldinho. He is a player who can create football. He is unpredictable. He is in good shape and has a great time. So he may be the player we should worry about the most, but I I think coach Mourinho should have made adequate arrangements. Tomorrow is Mourinho’s birthday. He will regard the victory as his birthday gift. Of course, I will also prepare a gift for him."

...

When Moratti accepted the award for the players facing the country, the players of Inter Milan were in the last training session before the game.

The training is closed, there are no reporters and no fans.

Sneijder participated in the team's joint training, his position is the forward midfielder, while Gao Xiaodong's position is the right winger, the left winger is Pandev, the formation is still 4231, the single arrow is Milito who scored 16 goals.

However, the effect of the training did not satisfy Mourinho, because regardless of whether Gao Xiaodong’s position is on the wing or in the center, the players are still willing to pass the ball to Gao Xiaodong. This trust is tempered by the cooperation of half a season, Snee Germany first arrived, even if Mourinho gave him the position of midfielder, the players did not approve it.

Sneijder felt that Pandev had just moved to Inter Milan, and he should not have been integrated into the team, and Pandev was also a European player. He wanted to cooperate with Pandev, but after Sneijder passed the ball to Pandev, he didn't expect Pandev to pass the ball. It was given to Gao Xiaodong, and Sneijder was so shocked. Could it be that Gao Xiaodong and Pandev got along so well in such a short time?

Although his teammates did not cooperate with Sneijder, Sneijder still showed his super passing ability and ridging skills in the few time he took the ball. This is something that no other Inter Milan player has, even if it is high. Xiaodong has nothing to do, which makes Mourinho very satisfied. He believes that given Sneijder time, the strength of Sneijder can completely win the trust of his teammates, but today's Milan derby certainly cannot let Sneijder, In the final stage, let him go up and feel the atmosphere and get familiar with the rhythm.

After the training, Mourinho held a pre-match tactical meeting to analyze the current situation and the style of play adopted in the game for the players.

About these Mourinho actually said more than once, but he must repeat, this is not only for the players to remember, but also to attract their attention.

"You can't look at AC Milan with old eyes. After half a season, they are much stronger than before. In the last round, AC Milan just beat Juventus 3-0. They are in a very good state. Don't compare the scores in this game. Too many extravagant hopes, just win."

"The referee in this game is Rocky. I have seen him enforce our game. He is not friendly to us. In addition, we are currently leading too many points. If we win, the suspense of the Serie A championship will disappear. This is Everyone except us wants to see it, so we have to prevent the referee from blowing the whistle, and control our emotions."

Speaking of this, Mourinho did not look at Balotelli, but the players of Inter Milan watched Balotelli consciously or unconsciously. Obviously, they think Mourinho’s remarks are meant to Balotelli listened.

Balotelli went to see Sneijder, as if Mourinho talked about Sneijder, and his teammates saw him wrong.

In order to appease Gao Xiaodong, Mourinho emphasized the importance of Gao Xiaodong in the team, "Xiaodong, your position is still the front midfielder, but you can move freely. You don't have to stay in one position. Other teammates must support. Xiaodong, fill him up, accept his pass, pull off the defense instead of standing there and watching.

Free movement is not a privilege. It is determined by Xiaodong's ability. He can play from forward to defender. He can help the team in any position. We must try our best to tap his potential. "

After finishing the tactical issues, Mourinho allowed a free discussion and left the conference room.

Just after Mourinho left, Materazzi said: "Brothers, I want to tell you something. Tomorrow is the coach’s birthday. Today’s Milan derby must be won. The big victory is a birthday gift for the coach. The coach treats us not badly, and we can’t add to him.”

Zanetti said: "This is necessary, no matter from which point of view, we have to win this game, but also to win beautifully." After the first round of Milan's derby victory, the captain Zanetti also Some are floating.

The captain and the deputy captain have finished talking, and it should be Cordoba's turn to speak, but Cordoba had a bit of a contradiction with Mourinho recently, and he did not sit silently.

When Gao Xiaodong saw Cordoba not speaking, he stood up and said: "Listening to the coach, the game is not likely to be played well. Let's not be careless. Win first and then say beautiful."

Quaresma said: "Xiaodong is right, don't be careless."

Balotelli's IQ even nodded again and again, "Although I don't understand well, I am too right."

Milito and Pandev also agreed with Gao Xiaodong.

Materazzi and Zanettid are highly respected. They both say they want to win beautifully, but Gao Xiaodong is different from them. He also got the approval of several teammates, which makes Sneijder even more uneasy. At this time, he doubted whether he could compete with Gao Xiaodong...
