Chapter 534 The Final Battle

In the penultimate round of Serie A, Inter Milan beat Bari in the last second to win the first league championship in 11 years, while Roma scored at the last moment with Naples and drew 2-2 in the end, but this did not make Inter Milan feel depressed. If they were also in a draw, maybe Naples and Rome will not be this score.

Although the UEFA Champions League seats and UEFA Cup seats in the league, as well as the final relegation quota have not been finalized, for Inter Milan, the league is over. The last round is an exhibition match, just take the form, and then participate in the award ceremony. Their task this week is to enjoy the championship. Bring happiness and do a good job in the celebration parade after the award.

Jiang Mu gave the team a three-day holiday, but he rarely went out, because now there are more and more fans coming to Inter Milan to attend the award ceremony next week. Jiang Mu, a foreigner, is too easy to recognize. When he goes out, he will be blocked by enthusiastic fans, and then he has to sign and take a group photo to be interviewed, and it takes eight minutes. It can't solve the problem. It often takes half an hour or even more than an hour to get rid of the fans, which makes Jiang Mu deeply troubled by celebrities and has to live a simple house or go out with makeup at night.

However, even at home, it is difficult for Jiang Mu to keep quiet. There is an endless stream of guests and reporters who come to visit him. The phone calls are almost for several hours. Some can be refused, and some cannot be refused. In the face of the congratulations of relatives and friends and interviews from relatively familiar reporters in China, Jiang Mu can only barely cope with it. .

The three days of being busy with socializing finally passed, and Jiang Mu returned to the familiar training ground again.

After winning the double crown, there have been many changes outside the Inter Milan base. On the turntable in front of the base, a large pattern of Inter Milan's two trophies was sprayed. In this way, every Inter player has to drive through two trophies in and out of the base every day. Maybe that's the intention of the fans is to use trophies to inspire each player to win more trophies. The main change is that the Inter base can finally be recognized as the territory belonging to Inter. There was nothing iconic here before. Inter, the double champion, also changed its low-key style. More than a dozen Inter Milan flags fluttered in front of the base, and the road teeth in front of the door were also painted blue and black. The theme of the small stall selling Inter Milan goods outside the base is still Ronaldo. His souvenirs account for the majority, but Jiang Mu's avatar is also printed on the T-shirt, and there are a large number of them. The shopkeeper's "Treasure of the Town" is Jiang Mu's autographed jersey.

Although the outcome of the last round of the league is no longer important, the players also dare not be late. Half an hour before the start of training, all the players have arrived.

The players' expressions were very relaxed. When they changed their clothes in the locker room, they also joked with each other and came to the training ground. When Jiang Mu was training, the amount was not large, mainly to relax. At noon, the team dined in the restaurant of the training base. After dinner, Jiang Mu held a meeting for the players. The theme is about the next game. Jiang Mu told the players that the starting players in the next game will be based on absolute substitutes. Although these substitutes don't have many opportunities to play, Inter Milan can win the double championship, and they also have credit. If it weren't for the hard training of Inter Milan's substitutes on weekdays, they would be able to change after playing. It is difficult for Inter Milan to win 20 games in a row.

The main players of Inter Milan have no objection to this. Anyway, the league championship has been won, and they are the absolute heroes. At the end of the season, the generous bonus will definitely be indispensable, and there will be a certain proportion of increase in contract renewal and annual salary. As for the next starting game, be a teammate. It's been a long time. It's okay to let them show their faces for the first time. If they care too much, they will be impersonal. What's more, Jiang Mu is in power now. He starts whoever he wants to start, and whoever he wants to make a bench has to sit on the bench. Whoever dares to have a problem. Isn't that looking for himself ugly?

In the afternoon, there was a little training, but the intensity was much lower than usual. The main reason was that the substitutes were working hard. Although the victory or defeat had no practical significance, on the day of winning the championship, the loss was not good. The players still trained seriously, especially the substitutes worked harder, which made Thousands of fans around were very happy, and they kept using applause to express their respect.

The number of fans who came to watch on the first day of training was only thousands. On the second day of training, the number of fans who came to watch had reached 10,000. It is reported that as of this Thursday, more than 50,000 fans from all over the world have come to Milan. By the weekend, this number will double to more than 100,000, and On the day of the game, there will be more blue and black fans. With such a large number of fans, they will occupy the three-sided stands of the Meacha Stadium, and the fans will set off fireworks on the stadium to celebrate. After the award ceremony, Inter Milan's players will parade around the city in floats to celebrate, and finally hold a carnival in Milan's Cathedral Square, where there will be a night-last fireworks show.

For Inter Milan, the weekend game is a happy party, but for some other teams, the last round is a life-and-death battle, winning to heaven and losing to hell.

There are four places in the UEFA Champions League in Serie A. The first and second directly participate in the Champions League, and the third and fourth will participate in the Champions League qualifiers. There are three places in the League Cup, the fifth and sixth places in the league, and the FA Cup champion Fiorentina participate in the UEFA Cup.

In addition to Inter Milan, Rome and Lazio, which have won the Champions League, the last Champions League place will be between Juventus and Parma, but Juventus is three points ahead of Parma. As long as Juventus does not lose, they will be able to get a place in the Champions League.

AC Milan will compete with Atlanta, Florence and Brescia for a place in the UEFA Cup. Among them, AC Milan's thin camel is bigger than the horse, which is in such a bad state. Now it is still one point ahead of Atlanta and two points ahead of Florence and Brescia. As long as they win, they will be able to win the League Cup. However, Atlanta has to beat Juventus and needs AC Milan not to win. It is very difficult. Fiorentina and Brescia are more difficult. It can only be said that there is hope, but there is little hope.

There are four relegation places. The 20-point team has got one in advance, and the remaining three will be generated between Udinese, Naples, Reggina, Vicenza and Lecce.

At present, Naples has 36 points, Vicenza has 33 points, and Lecce, Reggina and Verona are all 34 points. Naples has a slight advantage in points, but Naples' opponent is Florence. Florence still has the hope of winning the UEFA Cup. They will certainly not easily give points to Naples, Reggie. Na's opponent is AC Milan. They are facing the same dilemma as Naples, while Verona's opponent is relegation worry-free. Perugia, who is hopeless in Europe, their relegation situation is good.

In order to prevent cheating, the last round of the game is still held at the same time on the same day.

After two rounds of wandering, Inter Milan finally returned to Meacha after winning the championship. Now they have returned with honor. All kinds of previous problems and mistakes have been successfully covered up. From the media to the fans to the major clubs, it is a magical table of praise Inter Milan. Now.

For the final game, or for the award ceremony, the players have been fully prepared. Some have prepared slogans, some have prepared national flags, married people have brought their wives and children to the court, and unmarried people have also invited their lovers and relatives to the stands. At this historic moment, they They all want to witness the great scene of holding the championship trophy with their relatives.

However, not everyone wants to see Inter Milan win the championship. In addition to Rome, which was robbed of the championship, AC Milan must be the last to see Inter Milan win the championship. This season, they are 30 points behind Inter Milan, and it is difficult to guarantee a place in the UEFA Cup, while Inter Milan won the league. The double championship of the cup and the league, in contrast, makes AC Milan embarrassed.

And Inter Milan fans will certainly not give up this opportunity to humiliate their sworn enemies in the same city. As early as the last round of winning the championship, Inter Milan fans played: "Milan! Shit!", "30 degrees below zero, it's so cold!" Milan? All four are empty!" Wait for the slogans to humiliate AC Milan.

Although Bologna, Inter Milan's opponent in this round, has been relegated and there is no hope in Europe, they are the team of AC Milan. As a younger brother, they certainly do not want Inter Milan to win the cup smoothly. If they can add some trouble to Inter Milan, it will certainly make the boss AC Milan feel much more comfortable. So before the game, Bologna said that it would not let Inter Milan win easily. Breaking Inter Milan's winning streak is their goal in this game.

Bologna's head coach Guidolin, also known as Little Zhuge, is a coach who has been in Serie A for many years. He has coached Empoli, Vicenza, Udinese, Atlanta, Bologna and other teams. His coaching experience is somewhat similar to that of Mazoni: he has never brought any big clubs, and his best result. Vicenza, who led the promotion, has reached the top four of the European Winners' Cup, but his coaching ability has been unanimously recognized.

Although Guidolin mostly coaches small clubs, he can always dance with long sleeves between rich clubs and benefit his team. At this moment, it is the time to be loyal to AC Milan. Of course, he will not miss it. In an interview with reporters before the game, Guidolin said, "Inter Milan is very strong. They have We have won the league championship, and we have successfully relegated, and there is no hope for a European game, but it does not mean that this game will be like a friendly match. Inter Milan will not be defeated by us at the award ceremony, and we will not easily disarm and surrender, because defeating the defending champion is an honor in itself. . "
