2:2.

Inter Milan was indeed ridiculed by Italian sports media. Almost all Italian media criticized Inter Milan's poor performance with one word, and almost all newspapers used one word - "ugly".

The Milan Sports Daily uses extremely spicy words. Although it is just a draw, it thinks there is no difference between failure. "Titanic sunk in Austria. Inter Milan lost everything this night, the game, the champion, the face... everything is lost! It is impossible to imagine that Ronaldo's team with Vieri would be like this!" The newspaper's article said pessimistically, don't deceive us anymore, we will not continue to look forward to it. Inter Milan is never worth looking forward to it. Have they given us even a little confidence?

"Milan Sports" is very unfriendly to Mourinho, and this time he seized the opportunity to criticize Mourinho and Morati. Morati quickly paid a huge price for his adventures. How could a rookie coach with no experience in the Champions League lead this Inter Milan? Even the weakest opponent in the qualifying round cannot win. Even if they finally advanced to the main game, they can only stop in the Champions League group stage. Mourinho's tactics are extremely ugly. What did he bring to this team? He could not see the style of a strong team. They defended in Austria for 90 minutes. If Vieri had not seized two opportunities, Inter Milan might have lost the game directly. The Portuguese did not understand the art of defense at all.

Other Italian media also believe that Mourinho's arrangement and on-site command in this game are problematic. The Republic echoed the news from Milan Sports. The newspaper predicted that Mourinho would likely not be able to continue coaching, and at most there would be one game - if Graz was not able to win at home, Mourinho would likely become the shortest-lived head coach in Inter Milan's history. Morati would definitely not tolerate the team being unable to participate in the Champions League this season, and dismissal became the only option, but it was too late. What Morati lost might be $50 million in revenue in a season.

Italy Sky TV analyzed after the game that although Mourinho admitted at the post-match press conference that he had to bear the responsibility for the draw, Mourinho did not admit his mistake in fact. Moratti's mood cannot be described as "sad". What decisions will the Inter Milan boss make in various complex emotions such as disappointment, resentment, and feeling deceived? Is it another major cleanup for trusting the current team?

A draw put Inter Milan at the forefront in an instant.

Rookie Mourinho seemed extremely firm in the face of media reporters' criticism.

Facing an interview with Sky Sports, Mourinho said: "We are very good, we lead two goals, we played a good 45 minutes, but we didn't concentrate enough in the second half. I think we are not used to winning now, and we have to focus on winning, and at the Meazza Stadium, something like this won't happen again."

"We will definitely advance to the Champions League, there will be no doubts. Those who want to see our jokes will not succeed."

"Wait and see."

Mourinho's strong response was once again ridiculed by the news media. The Roman Sports even believed that Moratti hired an unknown person. Maybe this really matched Moratti?

Turin Sports also stated: Juventus' competitors are AC Milan and Lazio, and Rome, and there is no need to consider Inter Milan at all. Choosing Mourinho means Inter Milan has chosen to withdraw.

They are all naked and unfavorable Mourinho!

But none of these things can be defeated by Mourinho, who is determined, but when he drives through the streets and many Inter Milan fans yell at him, the taste is a little different.

"Hey, please get back to Portugal,"

"You liar,"

"You don't know anything,"

"You'll make us lose the Champions League qualification!"

"Get out of here and take your salary!"

...

...

It's unbearable and extremely unpleasant.

Mourinho returned home expressionlessly, locked the doorstep tightly, and pulled all the curtains on it. He came to Italy not long ago, but he learned the paparazzi level here and liked to peek at the private lives of celebrities. Even at home, there might be paparazzi doing some sneaky things outside, so he quickly learned how to protect himself.

He grabbed the phone and called Zheng Zhi.

Zheng Zhi was very surprised.

Because it was the first time I received a call from Mourinho, this was the first time that the two of them had a "close contact."

"After you finish the game, you must fly back to Milan immediately."

"The team needs you."

Just a few simple explanations.

He needs Zheng Zhi, but he can't say he needs it, but Inter Milan needs him.

"Protect yourself and don't get hurt."

...

...

After hanging up the phone, Mourinho walked to the refrigerator, took a bottle of drink, took a few sips, and then started to complain to himself.

"Ah, damn it."

"I thought the Chinese team would be eliminated in the group stage."

"As a result, I won the first place in the group, miscalculated, miscalculated, ah, ahhhh~"

This time he finally revealed his true emotions.

Yes,

He thought that after the three-round group stage, the Chinese team would be eliminated by Spain and Chile, and then Zheng Zhi could fly back to Milan to prepare for the knockout round in the second round. Who knew that the Chinese team advanced and entered the quarterfinals. It was paralyzed that even Spain could kill it. The Chinese team is too strong. Mourinho originally wanted to rely on Zheng Zhi, but judging by this situation, the Chinese Olympic team might have to continue playing...

Having been a big joke, he even thinks that China may reach the final?

I don't know if I can hold on until Zheng Zhi comes back...

Although he is a very conceited and confident guy! But his heart also has ups and downs...

Sydney, Allianz Stadium.

Chinese team vs Nigeria.

The first quarterfinals started first.

The Chinese team has all the main players, and the main team that Horton has arranged today is no different from the third game.

Goalkeeper Chen Xi.

Defenders Sun Jihai, Li Weifeng, Fan Zhiyi, and Tao Wei.

Midfielder Zhao Junzhe, Zheng Zhi, Li Yin, and Shao Jiayi.

Forward Li Yi and Qu Bo.

"There are many newcomers in Nigeria, such as Joseph Yabo, Dan Shitu, Rabiu, Sey, Daniel, Olofenhana, etc."

"These players were all born in 1980. If they play in the Olympics, they are still a little younger. For example, the Chinese National Olympic Team, many players are already 23 years old, and Zheng Zhi is still very young."

"There are even younger ones, and several were born in 1981. This team is the youngest in the Olympics."

"Nigeria was the champion of the last Atlanta Olympics, but its strength is obviously not as good as the previous one. I feel that there is no problem for the Chinese team to win them."

Before the opening, Huang Jianxiang was still optimistic about the Chinese Olympic Games.

"If we can win Nigeria, the Chinese team can reach the semi-finals, and then the opponent will be Italy or Chile. It is very likely to be against Italy."

Huang Jianxiang has already started to consider the semi-finals...

"Today, Zhao Junzhe started the game, and he was considering defense. Zhao Junzhe's defensive ability is much stronger than Li Ming. I feel that only Tao Wen is a bit weak in this position, and other positions are very good. He is not at a disadvantage in the physical confrontation of Nigeria."

“If we can withstand the impact of Nigeria…”

...

...

At the beginning of the game, Nigeria launched a fierce attack on the Chinese team when it came up.

The two forwards composed of Odenm Wenji and Amobi played very actively. The two used their speed to attack the Chinese team's defense line. Nigeria's attack tactics are very simple, namely crossing from the wing and long passes and rushing, and British style of playing!

They did think too easily about the Chinese team.

After more than ten minutes of the game, the Nigerian fans in the sky were stunned.

"Didn't it mean that the Chinese players are not good at figure?"

"God?"

"Those two central defenders are so overwhelming that Odemwinji and Am Obi?"

“It’s totally unconfrontation.”

"Did I look at the embossing? That right back is also very good, and it's very fast. Daniel is like Big Ben."

Nigerian fans can't believe their eyes.

Although it seems that the team suppressed the Chinese team in half, all the attacks did not pose any threat in the end and were resolved by the Chinese team's defense line.

Fan Zhiyi, Li Weifeng and Sun Jihai's performances were really outstanding. All the high points were resolved by Fan Zhiyi and Li Weifeng, and Sun Jihai was more reflected in individual defense. Two Premier League players and a Bundesliga player performed what top defense meant for Nigeria.

During this period, the Chinese team's offense was relatively dull. Except for Zheng Zhi gave Qu Bo two-foot pass, there was no substantial attack on both sides. Shao Jiayi and Zhao Junzhe had no advantage in speed, but more of a pull-and-fight and cooperating with the feint attack in the middle.

However, the defense is worry-free, and the Chinese team plays very steadily.

In the 21st minute, Huang Jianxiang's most worried Taoist, instead instigated the Chinese team's attack. When he got the ball on the left, he boldly knocked the ball to Zheng Zhi with a heel movement. Zheng Zhi got the ball as soon as possible and was sent out by Qu Bo!

Qu Bo took the ball outside the penalty area and took a step forward, and rushed into Nigeria's penalty area. As a result, the opponent's central defender Joseph couldn't help but pull Qu Bo over.

"Punishment!"

"This ball must have been a foul, and the pulling action is so obvious."

"Qu Bo's clothes were almost torn to pieces, and there was no problem with the penalty kick."

Zheng Zhi stood at the penalty spot and scored in one go, without any suspense. The upper right corner is his favorite shot position, and the goalkeeper just can't save.

Huang Jianxiang sighed: "I feel that Zheng Zhi's penalty kick is quite stable."

"I saw that he had played so many penalties. Apart from the spoon, he shot the upper right corner of the goal. He made every shot and the goalkeeper was helpless. I don't know how long he had been practicing."

"The goalkeeper probably has also studied it, but there is no way, you can't touch the ball."
