Chapter 427 Magic or Good Luck?

After the game, the whole audience was cheering, but the Nera Zuri did not forget to leave a path to the court for Jiang Mu, who was punished for the stand.

Jiang Mu walked calmly, smiling at the flashing magnesium lights. From time to time, he shook hands with the fans around him and said a few words, as if he had walked down from the podium.

Alaves' players have already left quickly. The Inter Milan players on the court are waiting for Jiang Mu to come over, raising him high, celebrating the hard-won victory with the fans around the stadium, and thanking the fans for their unremitting support to the team in times of trouble.

In an interview with the on-site reporter, the main striker Vieri said such emotional words, "The game is very difficult. I feel like playing a final."

Pirlo, the core of the midfield, told reporters: "When Blanco was sent off, I felt a chill and felt the danger of being eliminated, but later we played very well. This was the most beautiful game I played in Inter Milan.

And captain Zanetti pays more attention to the team's unity and cooperation and the temperament shown when it is lagging behind. "We have won an important victory, but I am more happy about the team's performance in difficulties than victory. In the case of one less person, I played even better than usual. Under the leadership of coach Jiang Mu, We have a kind of toughness and self-confidence similar to that of the Germans, which can make us go further in the tough Serie A and European games.

In the game, Inter Milan's players received a lot of unfair treatment. There are some problems with the opponent's two goals. Blanco's penalty is also debatable. Many reporters expect Jiang Mu to lose his temper at the post-match press conference, but Jiang Mu unexpectedly did not attack the referee on duty, and even said Understanding the referee's judgment, the referee is also a person, and he will definitely make mistakes. The important thing is that the team wins.

"The game is very difficult. It is no less than a final. Even the League Cup final is not necessarily more exciting and difficult than such a game. No one can underestimate Alaves. They have performed very well. Thank them. It is they who let us and the fans know how excellent we are, and also thank the referee and the linesman. They have maximized our potential. If there are a few more victories like this, I don't have to come to the court."

Jiang Mu also laughed and teased the referee when praising his opponent, and then talked about the game. "Football is an overall sport. Even if the stars' inspiration helps the team win, his foundation is the team as a whole, otherwise he will not even have a chance to shine. In this game, I saw the team spirit and perseverance in Inter Milan for the first time. The substitutes Robi Kean, Recoba and Simic all showed a very high competitive state, which made me very happy. Only when the substitute players don't put themselves out of the court can they be so short. They play such a high-level game in time, and their professionalism is what every player sitting on the bench must learn.

After Jiang Mu's speech, Alaves head coach Mane also talked about his views on the game. In the game, Mane was very excited, and now he is much calmer.

"We lost, but we are proud to lose, because we are facing a better team. Such a game makes us realize ourselves more clearly. If we have a little extravagant hope before, now this extravagant does not exist, we can I'm playing in the league with all my heart. I hope the players can get out of the loss and strive to enter the Champions League next season.

After Alaves head coach Mane expressed his feelings, he made an explanation to reporters question his substitution after the game. "There is no doubt about that kind of substitution. We have one more person and are one goal behind. Goal is our only choice. In order to score, we can only change the striker. If I had changed at that time. More midfielders than strikers, your criticism may be more. Football is also a hero based on victory or defeat. Since the game is lost, all behaviors are wrong. If we win the final victory, then all my actions are magical. This is competitive sports.

Jiang Mu, who said Ma's words, also felt a little embarrassed. When asked by reporters, Jiang Mu reinterpreted the statement about the magic coach. "The so-called magic is actually because of victory. The previous unreasonable tactics and substitutions have become reasonable. In fact, those unreasonable substitutions and tactics have become reasonable. The platoon is still unreasonable, but I bet right, so I'm not so much a magic coach, not to mention that I'm a lucky coach.

Then Jiang Mu continued to make fun of himself. He said, "Actually, I'm really lucky. In the next quarter-finals, our opponent is La Liga club Barecano. I believe that many media will definitely say that we will be recommended to the final after the game, just like what they said before the eighth final. Well, in reality, as you can see, we haven't tried so hard to beat Lazio or Parma.

Although Jiang Mu said it in a joke tone, the next day when the media reported the results of the eighth final of the UEFA Cup, they also thought that Inter Milan was lucky. When they met Bareccano, there was basically no suspense in the semi-finals.

The reason why the media said this is that after the quarterfinals came out, Inter Milan's opponent is the worst, and if Inter Milan, who is in the second half, eliminates Balleca, the opponent in the semi-finals is the winner between Kaiserslautern and Eindhoven. For Inter Milan, it is really much easier to reach the finals.

In the other half, Liverpool and Portuguese Super Champion Porto fought hard, and Barcelona and Celta played the Spanish derby. After that, it is likely that Liverpool and Barcelona will have a strong dialogue. Compared with them, Inter Milan is really a great fortune.

However, Ballecano does not want to appear only as the background of Inter Milan. They are also trying to make their voices heard. After the end of the eighth final, Barecano, who defeated the strong team of Ligue 1 Bordeaux with a score of 6:2 in two rounds, was high morale. Head coach Ramos watched the match between Inter Milan and Alaves. After the game, I believe they still have a chance to qualify.

"Inter Milan's defense is unstable. Alaves scored their six goals in two games. This is what we must grasp when we want to qualify, but their attack power is very strong. These two characteristics are combined. Inter Milan doesn't look like a Serie A team. I believe we still have a chance, because our attack The strike power is not bad."

Although Jiang Mu's head coach Ramos of Balecano later became a famous coach and coached in Seville and Real Madrid, he raised the offensive flag and won a lot of honors, Jiang Mu did not disdain to refute Ramos's statement. He was willing to admit For the poor defense of Inter Milan, Jiang Mu didn't bother to join hands with him to hype up. Attack and defense are originally a pair of contradictions. If the attack is strong, the defense will be relatively weak. At the beginning of coaching, in order to attract popularity, Jiang Mu faced some pseudo-strong teams in civil strife, and the level was much worse than himself. Inter Milan fought offensive football and sacrificed some defense, but in fact, Inter Milan's defense was not bad, just now No team has been able to force Inter Milan to defend fully.

Because the Champions League has attracted too much attention, the League Cup has increasingly become a chicken rib game. In order to attract popularity and attract more fans, those old teams with a long history but have gradually lost their reputation. In order to save their reputation, the teams of the League Cup have almost without exception have taken offense. The goal is far from comparable to the conservative Champions League.

In addition to Inter Milan and Alaves teamed up to score 15 goals, Ballecano and Bordeaux, Eindhoven and Parma, both scored 8 goals. Barecano, who participated in the UEFA Cup for the first time, and Eindhoven, the veteran strong team of the Dutch league, advanced first. Porto and Nantes also scored a total of 7 goals, and finally the Portuguese giants. Porto laughed to the end. Barcelona considered the league in the first round and scored only one goal, and slaughtered Athens AEK with 5 goals in the second round.

Only Kaiserslauten and Bragg Slavia, Stuttgart and Celta scored less than three goals, while the battle between Rome and Liverpool has exceeded the strength and influence of the UEFA Cup, and they played much more cautiously. In the end, Liverpool's steady away 2:0 victory, 0:1 home loss, net victory The advantage eliminated the leader of Serie A.

After the 16 games of the eighth final, the match situation has also come out, Porto VS Liverpool, Inter Milan VS Barecano, Barcelona VS Celta, Kaiserslautern VS Eindhoven. However, after two weeks of the game, now everyone still returns to their own countries to play the league. Whether it is the UEFA Cup or the UEFA Champions League, although the rewards are rich, it is just a big meal. In the end, the foundation still depends on the league, because whether you can have a big meal or not depends on your league results.

In the 20th round of Serie A, Inter Milan played against Udinese at home. Udinese has played well so far this season and has a good chance to win the Champions League, but their match with Inter Milan has not become the focus, and the leading match between Roma and Bologna has not attracted much media attention, because he Their attention was attracted by Juventus and AC Milan.

Juventus and AC Milan are the most successful teams in Serie A. They are also enemies and friends. They are privately regarded as the sacred allies of Serie A, but their success in the Champions League shows that they do not all rely on referees.

Although AC Milan's state is a little worse this season, and this game is not the top of the list, but the game with Juventus cannot be compared with ordinary games. AC Milan will definitely show the best form. Whether Juventus will be held back by AC Milan has become the biggest attraction of this game, and even Even the fans of Roma and Inter Milan have paid some attention to the Italian derby.
