Chapter 720 Famous Scholar
In the first round of the Champions League quarter-finals, they beat Schalke 04 1-0 at home. It was very difficult for Inter Milan to win. If it hadn't been for Diego Milito's header at the last minute, it would not be clear that Inter Milan's winning streak would have ended in Temple Meacha after the winter break.
What is more worrying than the final score is the state of the players in the game. After all, the blue and black warriors are flesh and blood. At the end of the long season, the series of fierce battles have made them feel physically and mentally exhausted. In the game of Schalke 04, the [Nerazzurri] did not There is the kind of suppression momentum that has been shown in the past games. The whole game can only be regarded as equal to the gestures, which is similar. The most popular goal can only be regarded as good luck.
In fact, Inter Milan is not a special case.
The five top leagues of Europa have entered April. Any rich team with the hope of winning the championship, no matter how awesome the bench is, it will be the end of the crossbow at this time. In the long season, the competition is perseverance and spirit. Every final champion has experienced the test of blood and fire before it was finally born. Raw. .
This is also the value and charm of the championship trophy.
After the game, Milan Sport commented worriedly in the relevant reports: "At the end of the season, it still maintains the ability to compete for the championship in the third-tier events of the league, the UEFA Champions League and the Coppa Italia. This is something that Inter Milan is proud of, but it is also a place where they must be careful. The close schedule of the two-week is very It may make them a tired army, and the competitor AC Milan has said goodbye to the Champions League. They scored 2 points in the team of the leader madman Li, but relatively speaking, they are much more relaxed..."
The worries of La Gazzetta dello Sport are justified.
On the third day after defeating Schalke 04 1-0, Inter Milan did not have time to catch a breath, and the 32nd round of Serie A officially kicked off.
The match between AC Milan and Inter Milan starts at the same time.
AC Milan challenged the powerful opponent [Purple Lily] Fiorentina away from home, while Inter Milan played against Serie A's relegation team Civo. Originally, many people regarded this round as a great opportunity for [League] to overtake AC Milan to return to the first place in the Serie A table. After all, Ale Gerry's opponent is much stronger than that of the madman Li.
However, Inter Milan did not seize the opportunity.After 90 minutes, AC Milan scored twice at the French Stadium, relying on [Brazilian Golden Boy] Pato and [Skin Prince] Robinho, 4:1 to sweep [Purple Lily], while Inter Milan fought hard at home, and finally relied on Diego Milito's goal to defeat the weak team Chievo. .
After 32 rounds, the gap between Milan's two in the table remained at 2 points.
Such a result disappointed many Inter Milan supporters for a while, but they soon threw their negative emotions to Java. There is nothing to worry about. You know, the man standing in front of the team's command bench and fighting for the team is called madman Li. What can't be done by [God on the edge of the football field]. Of? When did he let his supporters down? What's more, in the more important Champions League, the sworn enemy AC Milan has been eliminated, and we still maintain the hope of entering the finals!
April 13th.
Inter Milan flew to Germany.
Since there is no international airport in Gelsen Kirchen, where Schalke 04 is located, the team can only go to Dortmund first, land at Dortmund Airport, which is closer to Gelsen Kirchen, and then take the train to Gelsen Kirchen.
After tossing all the way, it was already evening when I came to the hotel I had booked before. It was impossible to adapt to the playing field in advance to the Feltings Arena, the home court of Schalke 04. Li Tong Fan Soo asked the players to go back to their rooms to rest and recover their physical strength.
During this period of time, the week of double games, coupled with the journey, the hammers' physical strength is thrown, assistant coach Batistuta is worried and full of all kinds of worries about the upcoming game.
"Hey, Gabriel, if you keep frowning like this, you will soon be abandoned by those female fans who are obsessed with you, because you are too fast!" Seeing that the players all returned to the room to rest, Li Tongfan patted Batistuta on the shoulder with a smile and suggested, "Why don't we go out and see the night scene of Gelsen Kirchen? You know, this is the famous [City of Qianyang] in Europe... Let's go!"
Without waiting for Batistuta to refuse, Li Tongfan packed up his equipment, buttoned a deep-brimmed baseball cap on the head of [God of War], pulled it out of the hotel.
In an instant - the quiet environment with soothing music in the hotel lobby changed, and a kind of noise and prosperity came towards me.
Gelsen Kischen in the night has her own unique taste, just like a woman who has experienced the wind and snow, revealing the temperament and gentleness that only she has.
In 1840, when the probe for trial drilling found the coal mine for the first time, Gelsen Kirshing was just a village with less than 600 named households, but the discovery of 'black gold' made the village grow explosively. When the coal mining industry was at its peak, there were more than 60 At the same time, the coal mine started construction, and the forest of blast furnaces, coking furnaces and steel mills brought a beautiful alias to this industrial city - [City of Fires], which means that the city burns thousands of flames every night because of steelmaking.
At that time, a large number of farmers and workers came here to make a living. Gelsen Kirchen was once the most important industrial and energy city in Germany, but the fireworks were difficult to last. With the import of cheap coal and the adoption of environmentally friendly energy, Gelsen Kirchen's coal enterprises collapsed as quickly as cut leeks. Closed, a large number of workers are unemployed... In these difficult years, it was football that supported the lives of the city's miners.
"Whether I become iron or chalk, I will go to Schalke..."
This song, which brought hope to a generation at that time, is still sung in Gelsen Kirching. When the mining industry can no longer become the life and identity of the city, football becomes particularly important to people's common feelings. For the citizens of the city, Schalke is not only limited to football, but also football. An association is a concept of life.
Walking through a street in Gelsen Kirch in which you don't know the name, you can see signs related to football and Schalke 04 everywhere. Photos of the team's coach Magaert, the team's number one star [Lord of the Rings] Raul, goalkeeper Neuer and striker Falfan appear in a glass with more than 50 floors opposite. The advertising space of the shop on the ground floor of the building is accompanied by a German propaganda slogan - "Defeat the madman Li, we can do it!"
click-!
The shutter of Sony's SLR camera made a crisp sound. Batistuta was unlucky to become Li Tongfan's portable cameraman, constantly recording the POSE placed in the stuffy man's silver laughter... "Li, I remember you didn't like photography so much before..." Batistuta smiled bitterly and pressed it. The shutter, fixed the V-shaped posture of Lao Li's hands on the film: "And today is photographed, which makes you infatuated with the modeling industry?"
" Gabriel, you haven't been so gossipy before!" Li Tongfan rolled his eyes and leaned on an urban bronze statue shaped by a coal miner behind him. He put an idiot POSE, and the flashed light shone before he continued to say, "My son is about to be born. I decided to record all the places I have visited with photos from now on, so that I can tell him about my old age every day. Dad's heroic past..."
"OK! This is a great explanation, Li, you will be a good father!" The two people, wearing sunglasses and baseball caps, were photographed all the way. There were pedestrians on the road, but no one recognized the two leisurely tourists on the street, who would be the enemies of life and death in the whole city.
When passing by a bar, several German men in Schalke 04 emperor's blue uniforms came out of it. They were full of alcohol, and some people were holding wine bottles in their hands and waiting for taxis at the door of the bar... "Tomorrow, if you go to Ovsk to watch the ball, you must boo the crazy Li, the damn guy... ...”
"Let's go back and make a more conspicuous slogan. What does it say?"
"Why don't you write 'Get back to your mother's stomach and eat shit, crazy Li...' What do you think?"
"Oh, Shaw, your topic is really fucking shit. Crazy Li is super handsome. Such provocation won't have any effect at all..."
"Yes, it's a pity. If it hadn't been for the fact that he brought a group of Italian bastards from Inter Milan to play on the field, I really wanted to ask for his autograph. You know, I've been a fan of him since three years ago..."
Several drunks chattered. They chattered.
Li Tongfan turned his eyes and went straight to the drunks and said a few words in German - after having enough [port character points], Lao Li has already learned German, Portuguese, Dutch and other mainstream football languages through the FM system, so there is no problem in communicating with these drunks at all. .
Batistuta looked at Li Tongfan, who was talking and laughing with the drunks with a little worry. He was afraid that the drunks would recognize the person in front of him as the enemy of the life and death of Schalke 04, so he gave Lao Li on the spot.
Who knew that several people actually had a very happy conversation. They didn't know what Li Tongfan said. The drunks laughed. One of them was a strong man who was 1.9 meters tall like [Terminator] Schwarzenegger, and even more like an old friend, he hooked up with Li Tongfan and laughed... Batistuta looked at him. Tongue.
"Hey, Gabriel, come and take a picture for us!" Li Tongfan waved in the distance and greeted loudly in English.
click--!
The shutter sounded, and a meaningful photo was fixed in the night of Gelsen Kirchung. What made Batistuta's soul fly away was that at the moment of taking pictures, Li Tongfan actually took off his baseball cap and sunglasses... Before advancing to the battle of life and death, a group of fanatical Schalke 04 fans were flashing. In front of the football-themed bar with the logo of the Imperial Blue Team, he laughed and took a photo with the opponent's coach madman Li... Batistuta felt that his head was almost not enough.
"Hey, rice bucket, remember your promise, you must come to the Ovschalk Stadium to watch the game tomorrow..."
"You are a funny guy. You can sit among us at that time..."
"Rice bucket, we will let you feel the enthusiasm of Schalke fans at that time. We can buy you a drink after the game, haha..."
The drunks waved their hands and the taxi left.
"Ha, this is a group of enthusiastic guys..." Li Tongfan took a baseball cap and sunglasses in his spare time, turned around and shrugged at the [God of War], who was still a little confused. The black line on Batistuta's forehead said, "Li, if they recognized you just now, you would be in trouble..." Li Tongfan smiled, turned around and left: "Didn't you recognize it? Gabriel, don't you think these fans are cute? Think about it, you can become friends with a group of strangers you don't know at any time... Ah, praise God..." Li Tongfan put his hands together, raised his jaw slightly and prayed. He closed his eyes and praised, "This is the power of football!"
" By the way, did you take this POSE just now?" Li Tongfan suddenly asked.
"Uh...no!"
"What a waste of my expression, do it again!" The stuffy man is very disappointed.
click--!!
The flash rang and the shutter rang.
"Li, which fans will know who you are tomorrow. Guess how they will react?" Batistuta suddenly asked with a smile.
Li Tongfan also laughed with Hahaha.
............Li Tongfan didn't know how the drunk who took a photo with him in front of the bar in the night would react after meeting him again. But Lao Li now clearly knows that Schalke 04 fans will never cheer for their arrival like the Nera group.
Middle finger, and boo!
Around Inter Milan's bus, it is less than 200 meters away from the Feltings Arena, but surrounded by fanatical Schalke 04 fans, the bus will feel ashamed of the slow speed when even the snail looks at it, and climbs to the player channel outside the court little by little... It is said that Schalke 04 Fans once set the largest record for the noise of decibels in the Europa League. Originally, many Inter Milan players sneered at it. You should know that Meazza's atmosphere is also quite fanatical, but at this moment, despite his knowledge, many hammers are still suppressed by everything in front of them!
Looking out of the window, there is only one color in front of me - blue!
Imperial Blue!
The whole bus is like a canoe that is involved in the vast ocean, waiting for a wave to hit, and there is a danger of destruction at any time... Schalke's fans, like defending their children, defending their club and football, have risen here into a quiet life. In the absence of culture, the Bundesliga Blues have reached the top 8 as a dark horse in the Champions League this season, and their excellent record has stimulated the fans. In the case that the league championship is hopeless, it can be said that the Champions League has become the only emotional sustenance of the citizens of Gelsenkichen, although they do not expect that the team can eventually Hold the big ear cup, but every step forward is a miracle, which is enough to make this football city boil!
In such a situation, you can understand the expectation of shaker04 fans for the upcoming game. Every man has an inexplicable natural hobby of miracles, and a natural hostility to those who kill miracles!
Today, Inter Milan and the madman Li are the people who are hostile to the whole city.
............"The game has started for 10 minutes, and the current score is still 0:0..."
Forty minutes later, Feltings Arena.
The German commentator is explaining the ongoing game with a sad face.
The second round of the 2010-2011 UEFA Champions League knockout quarter-finals [Nerazzurions] Inter Milan vs. [Imperial Blue] Schalke 04 has begun for 12 minutes.
In the past twelve minutes, Schalke 04 used the power of the home court to burst out a strong attack power, just like a sudden mountain torrent on a night of rainstorm. With the uncontrollable momentum of ten thousand horses, carrying rolling stones and muddy water pouring down from the top of the mountain, the owner has the power of extinction.
[Iron Marshal] Magath obviously wanted to use a fierce offensive to give the madman Li a surprise.
However, the situation has made many senior supporters of [Imperial Blue] feel a little worried. The current defense of Inter Milan created by the madman Li is not a strong point, but even so, they still persisted for 12 minutes under the stormy offensive of Schalke 04 without revealing it. The slightest flaw!
If you can't attack for a long time, you will be eaten back!
As long as you think about the [Blue and Black Storm], which is still fierce in Serie A, and the tragic situation encountered by Bayern Munich, the eldest brother of the Bundesliga, at the Allian Stadium, the supporters of [Imperial Blue] have no doubt that as long as their offensive is stopped for a moment, they will suffer a terrible counterattack from the madman Li!
Time passes.
Shalk 04 has almost played the most gorgeous offensive since this season. The cooperation in the front court is like the passage of clouds and mercury. Even the Schalke fans in the stands are shouting wonderful. However, such a wonderful offensive, once it advances to Inter Milan's half-time penalty area, it is like The snow, which was splashed by the boiling water, dissipated in an instant.
[Tie Shuai] Magat, who likes to play with centralized power, frowned on the sidelines.
He never thought that the madman Li would play this song for him in the away game - this attack-loving madman actually played defensive counterattack honestly, and also played well, which made his tactical intention to rely on life-and-death attack at home before the game, which completely became a bubble. !
"Unfortunately, physical fitness is the weakness of Inter Milan. If they attack hard, we will not have no chance... But..." Magart turned his head and looked at the young man in front of the visiting team's coach less than ten meters away, and he was still a little difficult to let go: "Although he had already commented on this guy before the game. The price is very high, but it is still not enough. Is this the strength of the creator of the myth?
