Chapter 487 Off-site Home

The Milan derby in the second round of this season is obviously a little special. In the past, a week before the start of the game, the whole Milan City was full of Derby atmosphere. Due to the influx of fans from other places, Milan City is red except for blue. People talk about Derby or Derby, but because Inter Milan was by Italy. The Football Association was banned at home, and they had to play the world-famous Milan derby at the San Nicola Stadium in Bari, so the fans of the two teams had to move their positions to Bari.

The city of Bari is located in the southeastern part of Italy, on the fertile plains bordering the Adriatic Sea. It is Italy's main port leading to the Balkans and the eastern Mediterranean. The city of Bari is the capital of Apulia, Italy, the capital of the province of Bari, and the economic and cultural center of Apulia, with a population of 320,000.

Bari Club was founded in 1908. Most of the seasons they have been wandering between the Italian First and Second Division. It can only be regarded as the middle and lower reaches of Serie A. But even so, they are the most successful club in Apulia. There are a large number of loyal loyal people here, and their home stadium, St. Nicholas, are in attendance. It has always been very high, and the St. Nicholas Stadium can accommodate 58,248 spectators, which is already considerable for a small team like Barry.

St. Nicholas Stadium is the venue for the final of the 1990-91 UEFA Champions League. In this game, Red Star Belgrade Football Club won the European Champions Cup that season. St. Nicholas Stadium was also one of the venues for the 1990 World Cup, where a total of five games were played.

After Inter Milan's suspension, they repeatedly studied where to play at home. Finally, considering the distance, the stadium facilities, the advantages and disadvantages of the turf and the number of people, they finally rented the St. Nicholas Stadium in Bari as the home court. Although there are more than 30,000 fewer seats than Meacha, it is barely enough. For those fans who have already bought tickets, Inter Milan can only increase the price to compensate and make up for the loss of the fans.

In order to make it feel like having a home court, Inter Milan came to Bari three days in advance. It is a five-star hotel here to eat and live, train at the St. Nicholas Stadium, and deeply adapt to the stadium for a long time.

Although many Inter Milan people feel that they are making a big deal about this, some media even think that Jiang Mu is pretending to help others, because Jiang Mu is responsible for finalizing the team's itinerary. Some erratic young people suspect that Jiang Mu has accepted bribes from this five-star hotel. In the current state of Inter Milan, it is completely Don't worry so much about AC Milan.

Italy is not the best environment for coaches to survive. The coach is here in Alexandria. Unlike in the Premier League, although the media is very gossipy, it is indeed very tolerant of the head coach, not as narrow and mean as the Italian media.

Of course, Jiang Mu will not consider these rumors from the outside world at all. What he wants to consider is to take all the details into account and be sure to win AC Milan. After 16 consecutive victories, Jiang Mu is now in power at Inter Milan. His authority is unparalleled. There is a shadow on the original coaches, that is, Moratti. Many players directly cross the head coach to talk to Chairman Moratti, making the head coach unable to control the locker room, but with Jiang Mu, Mora Ti has almost no influence on the team, and no player has gone to Moratti to complain. Even Ronaldo and Recoba, they are Moratti's favorite players. The media say that they are Moratti's godson. But when these two people were pressed on the bench by Jiang Mu, they didn't even dare to say a complaint to Moratti. They knew that it was useless to say it. They could only increase Jiang Mu's boredom.

After coming to Bari, Inter Milan has basically determined the main lineup of the Grand Milan derby, but it remains to be elaborated in individual positions.

Although the current state and strength of AC Milan are not on the same level as that of Inter Milan, Jiang Mu found that there are not many rules to follow in Derby through the collection and research of all previous records and videos (mainly the research of Chang'e I), as the world's first golden head Bierhoff said. "Usually, the undominant party will win", so Jiang Mu must think about all kinds of possible accidents in advance.

After a week of careful preparation, the day of the Derby final came. Barry, the owner of St. Nicholas Stadium, also went to Vicenza to play, and the whole city of Bari became the world of Inter Milan and AC Milan fans.

In the morning, Inter Milan and AC Milan attended the pre-match press conference organized by the Football Association. Jiang Mu brought his beloved Pirlo to attend, while Maldini came to the lobby of the press conference alone.

Compared with the high-spirited Jiang Mu, the 69-year-old Maldini is obviously old and depressing.

After the two sides shook hands and sat down, the host announced the start of the press conference, with old Maldini speaking first.

"Our performance this season is not ideal. However, I believe that we will definitely rebound. I know the strength of AC Milan, and we still need to improve our performance. In today's game, AC Milan will make as few mistakes as possible and continue to work hard. I believe we can do better. Our players were seriously injured before, but now the situation is slightly better. The opponent's physical fitness is very good. We must control the rhythm of the game by controlling the ball, so that the opponent has to be exhausted. In the second half of the game, the opponent's physical fitness declines, and there will definitely be loopholes, so that we can get a chance to win.

"The opponent is very strong, but this is not enough to scare the red and black warriors. We have experienced a greater test. We are not afraid of any opponent. This is our spirit. We stepped on the court to fight for victory. We are not satisfied with winning the game. If we can score three or four goals, we will strive to score three goals and four goals, and we will never show mercy.

"There must be a difference between the away game and the home game. However, for players, the away game is also an ordinary game. Once you step on the court, players should no longer be disturbed by off-court factors. They should focus on how to play the game well. Only in this way can we create miracles.

"There is no secret about our starting lineup. I will still use the relatively mature lineup instead of sending many strange soldiers. In the face of a team like Inter Milan, the strange soldiers are of little significance. It mainly depends on perseverance and hard work, so that it is possible to break their undefeated golden body."

Although old Maldini is a rookie coach, he is not stupid enough to reveal his starting lineup to Jiang Mu before the game. He also played tricks in his speech, saying that he would not use any strange soldiers to disrupt Jiang Mu's thinking.

However, Jiang Mu did not give up stimulating old Maldini on the front of the word, although old Maldini was not as good as his son Paul in Jiang Mu's eyes. Maldini's threat is even greater. After all, old Maldini is just a scout, not a coach. He can't be longer with Jiang Muyi on this, and his son Paul. The defensive line led by Maldini is extremely strong. With a nuclear warhead like Shevchenko in front of him, it is difficult for Jiang Mu not to have a headache.

When it comes to playing against AC Milan, Jiang Mu said, "We are about to play against a team that hopes to end Inter Milan's unbeaten record. Although we are Avengers, AC Milan must be more eager to win, because they are destined to be empty this season. All, now the Milan derby has become their last remaining fig leaf..."

Jiang Mu's words were simply ** provocation, which was completely different from their previous speeches on TV and newspapers, which made the old Maldini's face red like congestion at the scene. He really didn't expect Jiang Mu to disgrace him so much.

Jiang Mu pretended not to see it. He continued, "... But I will never give them this opportunity. I'm going to tear off their last fig leaf and let President Berlusconi and AC Milan's fans understand that they want to catch up with the gap between us and can't go on like this. Serie A is now the world of Inter Milan. In the last round, we lost miserably, but it doesn't matter. In the slow history of the Milan Derby, this is just one of the bigger waves. We won't worry. Although we want to revenge, this revenge is rational and planned.

"In the past, I often paid attention to the Milan derby. This is the best game in the world and the most intense game. I am very happy to have the opportunity to lead the team to this important game. Of course, the frenetic game will not make me lose my clear mind. We have performed well this season, but there is no unbeaten team. If we don't do our best, we may lose the title of unbeaten immediately. Many people say that we play well because we have a large number of stars, but with such a large number of stars, we only got the first place in the first half. 1st place, so the role of the star has always been magnified by the fans and the media, but as the head coach, we must not put the key to victory on the stars. We should always maintain concentration, fighting spirit and enthusiasm, which is the key to our success in the second half.

In the next reporter's questioning session, old Maldini was so angry that his face was blue by Jiang Mu. When he answered the reporter's questions, he was almost incoherent and did not consider the content of the reporter's questions at all, but directly responded to Jiang Mu's provocation.

"AC Milan is one of the greatest teams in world football. No team or coach dares to despise AC Milan. Barcelona, known as the dream team, was also beaten by Milan, who was short of major generals. I want to warn some descendants not to be too arrogant. You have just won more than a dozen games in a row. AC Milan has a great legend of 58 unbeaten games. When will your unbeaten record exceed 58 games and you will be arrogant? Maybe for a descendant, this requirement is a little difficult. If you have the ability to return a 6:0 to Milan, I also congratulate you and say admiration.

Jiang Mu was so angry that the old Maldini was born and the two Buddhas ascended to heaven. Then he answered the reporter's questions as if nothing had happened, completely ignored the old Maldini's counterattack, so that the reporters at the scene couldn't help praising Jiang Mu's thick face and the depth of the city.
