Chapter 379 Empty Handsome Position
It's not impossible to be out of the Champions League. Moratti has been in the team for five years and hasn't even won a league championship. Naturally, the Champions League is not in Moratti's plan, but it is unacceptable for Moratti to be out in such a shameful way.
Imagine that the whole team in Helsingborg can't catch up with Ronaldo or Vieri's thigh, and Inter Milan was eliminated in two rounds. All the Inter Milan fans, including Moratti, were so angry that they wanted to vomit blood.
At this time, almost everyone thinks that Moratti will fire Lippi immediately, because in the previous five seasons, Moratti has fired eight coaches, including a famous coach like Bianchi. Lippi lost in the Champions League, not to mention Moratti, who has a temper several times better than Moratti. People may also fire Lippi.
But Moratti still did not fire Lippi, and it is strange that Moratti has not appeared in front of reporters since the game with Helsingborg. He did not support and encourage Lippi nor accused Lippi of playing badly, as if he had changed from a chairman who was more popular than the head coach to a hidden Shaped person.
However, at this time, a rumor from the player's mouth made the outside world vaguely know Lippi's attitude.
It is said that after losing the away game against Helsingborg, Lippi asked Moratti to go to the locker room to talk to the players, but after Moratti arrived in the locker room, he only left a sentence, "If I disturb you, please forgive me." Then he left the locker room and made Lippi angrily refuse to attend the post-match press conference.
Although Moratti did not vent his anger, everyone knows that Lippi's days at Inter Milan have entered the countdown. Moratti is only one straw that overwhelms the camel, and this straw is likely to be the Serie A that will soon kick off.
No matter what the Champions League looks like, no matter what Moratti wants, the Europa League has started as scheduled.
First, it starts with non-mainstream leagues, and then the five major leagues.
In addition to domestic fans and lottery speculators, few people pay attention to the non-mainstream league, but the first round of the Dutch League has won the attention of many domestic and foreign fans, especially the game between Alkmaar and Feyenoord.
Alkmaar's strength has declined this season, but the outside world is still optimistic that Alkmaar will continue to dominate the Dutch League, and Feyenoord added several players during the summer transfer. Although these players are very famous, Fiernod's strength has improved compared with last season.
The opening game of the new season is often more cautious. The European Cup has just passed, the players' physical strength and spirit have not returned to their best, and the players are unlikely to put all their body and mind in the first round of the league. The defending champion Alkmaar boldly sent a mixed lineup of main players and substitutes to play against Feyenoord.
Although Alkmaar sent a mixed lineup, Jiang Mu, a magical coach, and Feyenoord, who played at home, did not take advantage of it. In the first half, Alkmaar counterattacked and broke the goal twice.
In the second half, Feyenoord was eager to equalize the score and became more anxious. The calm Alkmaar firmly defended the backcourt counterattack, expanding the score just three minutes in the second half, and then their counterattacks repeatedly made contributions, turning Feyenoord's back line into a sieve, and finally Alkmaar in the away game. FĂ©yenoord scored 7 goals, becoming the team with the most goals after the start of the game, giving other teams who want to win the championship.
Three days later, the Serie A League also kicked off. There was no strong dialogue in the first round, and the first appearance of the rich team became the focus of fans and the media.
Juventus, who took the lead in the game, defeated Naples 2:1 away and won the league's opening.
AC Milan played at home and easily defeated Vicenza 2:0, which also defended the dignity of the giant team.
Roma and Lazio, which have invested heavily this season, have met strong rivals. Roma defeated Bologna 2-0 under Capello's leadership, while the defending champion Lazio was tied by Atlanta 2:2.
However, although Lazio was forced to draw, head coach Eriksson did not have to worry about being bombarded by reporters, because there is more unfortunate than him, that is Inter Milan's head coach Lippi.
Because Inter Milan was eliminated by Helsingborg in the Champions League qualifiers, they had to play the same League Cup, so the league championship is what Inter Milan wants most this season, and because of rumors from the outside world, many reporters went to Regina's home court to watch the match between Regina and Inter Milan. Quantity.
Inter Milan started smoothly and scored in the third minute. It was Zamorano, who was insulted in the Champions League, which made Lippi feel much better.
However, Inter Milan's nightmare also began. After taking the lead, Inter Milan doesn't seem to play. They want to win and are afraid of losing, because they are too afraid of fans' attacks and reporters' accusations.
But the more afraid it is, the more it will come. At the last minute of the first half, Reggina equalized the score, making Inter Milan stay in the locker room for 15 minutes with a belly of regret. Fifteen minutes later, the Inter Milan player who was scolded by Lippi came on the stage with a lot of anger. They wanted to overtake the score as soon as possible, but they were greeted by a first blow. Reggina scored in the fiftieth second of the second half and took the lead in overtaking the score.
This blow is fatal to Inter Milan. This team cost Morati more than 100 million euros. Because of Lippi's mentally retarded locker room management level, it is not synthetic, so it does not have any combat effectiveness. After the score was overtaken by Reggina, they were disreate and fought separately. They all wanted to score goals and be the savior of the club, but no one was willing to come back to defend. Of course, such a mentality will not win. In the end, Reggina used the counterattack to score another goal to lock the victory of the game. After Inter Milan was eliminated in the Champions League, they wanted to get a little comfort in the league, but in the end, the old injury did not heal and added a new injury.
After the game, Silver Fox Lippi continued to defend himself, attributed the failure to luck, the referee and the players, and once again declared that Inter Milan will make a qualitative leap below. Please wait patiently.
But now, whether the fans are patient or not, Moratti has completely lost patience. The day after the game, Moratti held a press conference to announce Lippi's dismissal.
However, a reporter from La Gazzetta dello Sport, who has been interviewed by Inter Milan for many years, revealed that Lippi had actually been announced to have been dismissed after the game. At that time, Moratti called Lippi directly and asked him, "Mr. Lippi, can you please explain the current situation of the team?"
"I'm sorry, Mr. Chairman, I didn't lead the team well, but it's not my problem. The players have no fighting spirit at all. They are weak and lax. I can't wait to kick their ass!"
"Enough! You got enough freedom in the transfer market, but you didn't succeed! You lost the Champions League qualification before, and now you have lost to Reggina. It's time to end all this!"
Although Moratti preferred to pay three million yuan in breach of contract at that time and did not directly fire Lippi, the gentlemanly Moratti did not directly hold a press conference to announce the matter, but waited until the next day to explain to the media that he gave Lippi a little face.
Lippi's class has brought a great shock to European football, because the handsome position of Inter Milan is empty. Who will be the helm of this luxury warship is not only a hot topic, but also will definitely affect the power pattern of Italian football and European football.
The media believes that there are three candidates who are most likely to replace Lippi. One is the current AC Milan head coach Alberto Zacheroni, the other is Valencia head coach Cooper, and the other is Alkmaar head coach Jiang Mu.
poaching AC Milan can not only hit the sworn enemy in the same city, but also get a coach with the same weight as Lippi. Moratti must want to do this kind of thing, but now Zacheroni is doing well in AC Milan, and it is very difficult for Moratti to dig him.
Moratti also had the idea of Valencia coach Cooper, but after entering the quarterfinals of the Champions League, Cooper became the treasure of Valencia fans. Hearing Moratti's idea, the enthusiastic Spanish fans launched the Battle of Cooper's defense, so that Cooper could not leave.
As for Jiang Mu, it seems to be less difficult. Alkmaar's influence and strength are completely impossible to compare with Inter Milan. After winning the Triple Crown of the Champions League and the League Cup, it seems that Jiang Mu does not have any motivation to fight, but after Moratti and Jiang Mu contacted him, he found that this Chinese young man The conditions are so harsh that Moratti, who has always used the coach as a scapegoat and a pout, can't accept it. So it has been put on hold. After firing Lippi, Moratti must make a choice. No matter who he chooses, he must make a decision immediately. Inter Milan can't be without a head coach, otherwise he will have to be reimbursed this season.
After a short thought, Moratti called Jiang Mu.
Jiang Mu was not surprised at all when he received Moratti's call. It seemed that he had expected that Moratti would call him.
"Jiang, there are no obstacles between us. Lippi has left, and Inter Milan's handsome position is empty."
"Mr. Moratti, thank you for calling me this. This is the best compliment to me. But this is just a prerequisite.
Moratti pondered for a while and said, "I agree to all the conditions you said. As long as you can coach Inter Milan, before the next league, Inter Milan must have a head coach, Jiang, come on, the transfer window is not closed yet. I can give you 100 million yuan. You can buy your favorite players. Of course, you can also sell it.
Jiang Mu shook his head and said, "Sorry, Mr. Moratti, I can't coach Inter Milan right now..."
"What? Are you kidding me?" Moratti was anxious. He dared to fire Lippi at this time because of Jiang Mu's backing. Jiang Mu said that he could not coach Inter Milan. How could he not be in a hurry?
"Mr. Moratti, please pay attention to your words. First, I didn't say that I will definitely coach Inter Milan if you promised my terms, so I can't play with you. Second, what I said is that you can't coach Inter Milan immediately. You have to wait until the winter break, because you have done all this too late. If you do it a month in advance, maybe I I can resign immediately. Now it is irresponsible for the club to resign immediately.
"But what should I do now? What about Inter Milan? You can't live without a head coach, can you?
"If you really want to wait for me until the winter break, you can find a firefighting coach. If you don't want to wait, I have nothing to say. Goodbye."
