Chapter 485 Ban Punishment
Although Inter Milan continued to maintain the momentum of winning streak and did not equal the points by Roma, it barely reversed Atlanta in the last second, and the victory seemed very reluctant. It did not have the same momentum as before. In addition, Inter Milan met a strong opponent in the next three rounds in a row, A C Milan, Parma and Lazio are all super-strong teams, and there is also a UEFA Cup final in the middle, which also gives the chasing Roma two heroes hope to catch up. Because their opponents are weaker than Inter Milan.
Rome's last three rounds of opponents are Atlanta, Bari and AC Milan. After one less match, only AC Milan has a strong opponent. Lazio is farther away from Inter Milan, but their last three rounds of opponents are also very weak. There is also an opportunity to have a direct dialogue with Inter Milan. Once you can After defeating Inter Milan away from home, Lazio and Roma have almost equal opportunities to compete with Inter Milan.
Roma Sport said that although Inter Milan has broken through the barrier of Atlanta, there are more dangerous passes behind it, with 90 and a half a hundred. Under the pressure of Rome, Inter Milan can't go wrong every step, otherwise they may be surpassed by Rome and repeat the scene of the collapse of the 9798 season. .
Milan Sport also warned that Inter Milan must not be complacent about winning Atlanta by chance. The difficulties are yet to come. If they don't play a twelve-point spirit, their double champion dream may become the double Asian champion.
Inter Milan certainly knows more than anyone else the pressure they are facing. Although the previous 16-game winning streak is extremely brilliant, there are not many really excellent opponents. At the beginning, they took advantage of the opportunity of the new coach to take office and successively defeated Parma and Lazio in the locker room crisis. The subsequent opponents were not strong, only Rome. He is a real opponent with Juventus, and Inter Milan has never encountered a strong dialogue before, which is a powerful test for their spirit and physical fitness.
There is another thing that makes Inter Milan feel worse, because their fans threw a motorcycle of Atlanta fans off the stands in the game with Atlanta. On Thursday, after research and discussion, the Italian Football Association severely punished Inter Milan and was banned from four games at home, which means that the international Milan has been unable to play at the Meacha Stadium this season, and the game will have to be moved to a neutral venue, because Inter Milan has only three home games this season, namely, against AC Milan on May 12, against Lazio on May 27 and Bologna on June 17.
Inter Milan said that he could not accept this. After receiving the notice from the Italian Football Association, Jiang Mu immediately became furious with the reporter who came to interview him. He almost knocked on the table and shouted, "What kind of bastard logic is this. The fans make trouble and ask the club to take responsibility. Are we the police? Is there a responsibility to teach and punish every fan? Even if this is a tradition and a rule, the Italian Football Association will not forget that we are the leader, and will not forget that we are the favorites to win the championship. Four home bans also means that we can't fight in Meacha this season. If we win the league championship, then we can't celebrate at home. Is it? Is this how the Italian Football Association treats a team that has been with it since the establishment of Serie A? Inter Milan has not won the championship for 11 years. When tens of millions of fans around the world finally look forward to the day to win the championship, they find that they can't celebrate at their doorstep. Is this an international joke? I can't accept this. I protest. If our chairman, Mr. Moratti, doesn't fight or protest, I will leave this damn place next season.
Jiang Mu hardly paid attention to the reporter's questions. After venting, he left.
After Jiang Mu expressed his dissatisfaction, Inter Milan's chairman Moratti also expressed his inability to accept the severe punishment of the Italian Football Association. He believes that according to the rules, Inter Milan must accept the punishment of the Italian Football Association, but this punishment is obviously too heavy, especially in the last game in Mea. It is not only a harm to the feelings of Inter Milan players and clubs, but also a harm to Inter fans around the world, which will even affect the reputation of the Italian League.
Finally, Inter Milan President Moratti said that he would negotiate with the Football Association, hoping that the Football Association could mitigate the punishment and allow the last match between Inter Milan and Bologna to be held at the Meacha Stadium. In this way, if Inter Milan can finally win the championship, they can celebrate their 12 years at home court. A league champion.
Inter Milan suffered such a heavy penalty. The loss is not only considerable ticket revenue, but also the popularity that has been soaring. Especially when thinking that Inter Milan can't celebrate at home even if it wins the championship, AC Milan is very happy.
Berlusconi, Prime Minister of Italy and chairman of AC Milan, said: "We must resolutely stop the violence on the stadium. Football is the label of Italy. We can't let extreme fans, or football hooligans, harm football. I think the decision of the Italian Football Association is wise and decisive. If we can't stop this kind of behavior, The following must be effective imitators, which ultimately harms the interests of the whole Italian football.
AC Milan's acting head coach and meritorious defender Maldini joked: "The next game is our city derby with Inter Milan. If we can't play in San Siro, it will be a disaster for both sides, because we also have to adapt to a new piece of turf."
Rome is naturally happy to see Inter Milan being punished. Rome's president Sensi originally had a good relationship with Inter Milan, but now the two clubs are competitors to win the championship, and no matter how good the relationship is, it is not as important as the championship. At this time, old Sensi can't help but fall into the pit. He openly supports the Italian football team. The association's decision, Sensi said: "This is a wise and correct decision. Football hooligans must be hit. There are also some extreme fans in Rome. In the near future, we must also find a way to control their ** and prevent them from doing anything excessive. I think that as long as the club is willing, it can prevent this kind of thing from happening. After all, the motorcycle is not a small thing. It can be brought into the court. I think everyone understands what it means.
Although Rome's head coach Capello is happy, he does not say anything about it. He repeatedly emphasizes Rome itself. "No matter where Inter Milan plays, they are still the same Inter Milan. They are as strong. We can't expect to surpass our opponents with this. We must ensure that we can win all. The game. The schedule is an advantage for us, but the schedule is not absolute. It is the strength that determines the winner.
Although the punishment of the Italian Football Association decided to have a large number of supporters, the influence of the Moratti family in Italy is not small. It doesn't matter if Inter Milan is punished, but if they finally win the championship, they can't celebrate it at home. This is a shameless thing for the Moratti family. For this reason, Moratti The leader of the family, Massimo. Moratti's brother Gianmarco Moratti personally called Cararo, president of the Italian Football Association, and expressed concern about this matter. Moratti also complained to the Italian Football Association that he hoped to get a light penalty because they did not support the behavior of extreme fans. The addition of security and riot police before the game proved that the four home suspensions were too severe.
Under the intervention of the rich Moratti family, the media also started to agitate and grievance for Inter Milan, confronted the media under AC Milan Chairman Berlusconi, arguing whether the punishment for Inter Milan was light or heavy, and whether it should be light.
Italian Football Association President Carraro prefers to punish Inter Milan lightly so that Inter Milan can play the last home game, but the vice chairman of the Football Association Mazni, who is close to Juventus manager Mogi, insists that the original judgment must be maintained to give an example.
At a time when both sides couldn't hold on, a reporter from La Gazzetta dello Sport and a loyal fan of Inter Milan quickly turned public opinion to Inter Milan with a sensationalistic report.
Milan Sport reporter Mela recalled: "In the early 1990s, Inter Milan fell into darkness and could not see any hope. I sent Mr. Moratti a 10,000 lire note (about 40 yuan) and attached a note: "Dear Moratti, this is An Inter Milan that is close to collapse, because we have not won anything. For this reason, I donate this money to you to contribute my strength. I hope you can buy our beloved team and win a league championship for us.
A few days later, I received a big heavy envelope. I opened it and saw a gold coin with a note: "Dear friend, thank you for your good wishes. Now you can see that giving money to Moratti is always a good investment."
For this dialogue, Mr. Moratti spent tens of billions of lira. He could have stayed outside the circle and honestly been a fan, because no one in the idea family who took over Inter Milan agreed. Almost everyone said to him, 'Don't do that, it's a mess, and you will suffer from it.' But he still did that. Later, when I interviewed Mr. Moratti, I asked him why he bought Inter Milan. He said, 'This is also a use of wealth: to buy love.'"
After five or six years of hard work, Inter Milan finally ushered in his savior, Jiang Mu. Inter Milan fans are finally going to win the first league championship in 12 years, but neither we nor Mr. Moratti can celebrate at our doorstep. What a pity in life. I hope all Nera Zuri We united and asked the Italian Football Association for a statement. Our requirements are not high. It's just the last chance at home. Why can't we agree?"
The power of language is small, but it is also great, as long as it can become action.
At Mera's call, Inter Milan fans quickly took action and came to the office building of the Italian Football Association to protest, demanding a light sentence for Inter Milan.
The Italian Football Association was under great pressure and finally made a compromise. Inter Milan was banned from four games, but it included away games, and the fans could watch the last home game at home and Bologna normally.
This compromise did not lose face to the Italian Football Association, but also gave Inter Milan an opportunity to celebrate the championship at home. Both sides were overjoyed because the controversy caused by motorcycles and finally came to an end.
