Chapter 755 The last battle! The whole army strikes! (Ask for a monthly ticket)(1/2)
It is only 90 minutes away from the final at San Siro Stadium in Milan on May 23, and this game will also be the last 90 minutes that determines whose life can eventually continue.
The result a week ago made the British very proud, and the Youth Guards had a great hope of entering the final. After arriving in Milan City, although hundreds of Inter Milan fans gathered at the entrance of the hotel, and the insults were all over the place, Leeds United coach O'Reilly didn't take it seriously at all. It seemed that this would make him more useful. He liked the anger of the opponent's fans.
In the hotel lobby, he also accepted an interview with Italian media and expressed optimistically:
"In important games like the Champions League, it is often enough to score a goal. We have the strength to score away goals. There are only 90 minutes left before the final of the Champions League. We will never give in at this moment."
"If it's a fear of leading two goals, then there's no point in coming here. I tell my players that nothing is happier than playing on the Meacha Stadium twice, we won the game here this week, and then we can win here on the 23rd."
“That’s our clearest goal.”
"I heard Inter Milan yelling outside the door, but we would have an unforgettable evening in Meazza, but we were full of hope and they were only hopeless."
O'Reilly chose to continue the confrontation rather than ease the atmosphere between the two sides.
Even at the press conference, O'Reilly responded to his remarks a week ago, he was very determined.
“I don’t think there is anything wrong with what I say.”
"It is not easy to win in the Premier League. Any rookie may encounter unprecedented difficulties in the Premier League. Is it rare to relegate?"
"As for my table tennis, everyone misunderstood what I mean. What I mean is that there is no confrontation in table tennis, but there must be football. These are two different sports. If you are afraid of confrontation, don't play football. Go and play table tennis. What's the problem?"
O'Reilly shrugged and spread his hands, and he looked like a hooligan who deserves to be beaten.
Anyway, the people from the FiLeeds United who saw the press conference in front of the TV wanted to punch him in the nose. Such people were born to deserve a beating.
...
Facing Oliley who continues to be arrogant, Mourinho refused to talk about him at a press conference. At this time, he will definitely suffer a loss. Only after winning can he have the capital to swear.
So he now talks about the game in a low profile and acts cautiously.
"Tonight is the worst game of Inter this season and the most test of Inter. My players are fully prepared."
"We developed the most detailed tactics and found the best way to play."
"This is not as terrible as I imagined. We were two goals behind at the Olympic Stadium before, and it was still away. The situation was actually even worse at that time."
"So I tell my disciples, let's relax, we've experienced it."
...
...
Mourinho looks quite calm, but the head coaches of other Italian clubs are giving him advice.
Even AC Milan coach Maldini stood up to give Mourinho a tip:
"The British are concise in tactics. Once they intercept the ball in the frontcourt, they will pose a threat within a few seconds. In order not to allow the British to use long passes and destroy their passing quality, Inter Milan should start pressing from the midfield and appropriately press the defense line. Leeds United is not used to low balls. After Vieri uses his body to control the ball outside the penalty area, he should quickly lower the ball and create opportunities for Ronaldo. In the first leg of last week's match against Leeds United, three threats posed by Inter Milan to his opponent originated from the passes in the lower three lines. The stability of the defense and Mourinho's calmness may be the prerequisite for victory in this game."
Juventus coach Ancelotti also made suggestions:
"Inter Milan should use their expertise to play low and fast balls to avoid physical balls and physical collisions. Their skills are enough to cope with, but they should dribble less and pass more, and use faster speed to deal with their opponents. In terms of ball control rhythm, I think Inter Milan is far better than them."
Roma coach Capello also said: "Inter Milan has the ability to complete the reversal as long as they play at their own level. I don't believe that tonight will be an exciting night. It is not that exaggerating for Inter Milan to fall behind two goals."
...
Of course, England is not to be outdone. Leeds United has the opportunity to reach the Champions League finals historic, and most British people are still on their side.
Many coaches also came out to give advice to O'Reilly, but they didn't expect that Chelsea coach Ranieri would stand on the side of the UK this time.
"Inter Milan is a Serie A team after all. From Bayern's game, we can see that they like to use static and brake. Although they are behind in the score, they will try to seduce their opponents to attack first, and then calmly look for loopholes in counterattack. I think Leeds United must not be too anxious at the beginning of the away game. They must have enough patience to deal with Inter Milan."
"I know Mourinho, he will definitely wait for the opponent to make a mistake like before. Once Inter Milan recovers a goal, they will play more calmly, and Leeds United may have a lot of ideas."
"So, Leeds United maintains aggressive confrontation while always defending and patiently seeking opportunities for a quick counterattack. Another point is that once Mourinho continues to use Cordoba, Cordoba is the weakest defense point, that guy is a time bomb, he may sleepwalking at any time..."
Ranieri is not afraid of being torn by the Italians...
...
The game started at 8 o'clock in the evening. Many Inter Milan fans arrived at Meacha Stadium at 6 o'clock in the afternoon. Nearly half of them could not wait to support the team. Half an hour before the game started, all the fans had already entered the court. More than 90,000 fans were pouring into the stadium, and more than 10,000 people were standing in the aisle.
However, the number of Leeds United fans is not to be underestimated. Nearly 10,000 people arrived at the South Stand, with a huge momentum. Many people looked drunk and had their upper body naked. They were not afraid in front of more than 80,000 Inter Milan fans, and even provoked Inter Milan fans in the South Stand, making them desperate.
"Arrogant British,"
"I hope it will be their doomsday after the game!"
Commentary guest Bergomi was also stimulated, "What has English football won over the years?"
"Except for that Manchester United championship."
"Before, it was Liverpool in the 1983-84 season. At that time, they only won Roma in the penalty shootout. What gave them courage? Although England clubs were not allowed to participate in European competitions for five years, they also did not win anything in the next ten years."
"Now, after Leeds United reached the semifinals, they thought the world was theirs."
...
※※※※
Mourinho delivered a passionate speech in the home team's locker room:
“35 years,”
"Inter Milan has not won the Champions League for 35 years,"
“29 years,”
"I haven't reached the Champions League final in 29 years!"
"And now, the final is on the field we are standing on!"
"Leeds United tells us that they are going to play the finals at our doorstep! They are going to eliminate us, they are going to win the Champions League!"
"Boys,"
"Do you know how this feels?"
"What they mean is that they have a stomach, they have to have a free dinner at your house, and after they are full, they have to sleep with your women, and take away all your money!"
"They are bare, savage, rude robbers!"
Bang!
Mourinho, who became more and more excited, slapped him on the table.
"Now,"
"Or the robbers eat your rice, the women who sleep with you, and they are robbed."
"Or, just pick up your weapons, fight back, and kill them!"
"Kill them!"
"Kill them!"

"The starting lineup of both sides has come out,"
"That kid Robbie Keane is indeed in the starting lineup,"
"This guy did a good job in the first round, but he had no respect for Inter. It is understandable that he was full of resentment towards Inter. However, his words after the game were not cultivated."
When he saw Robbie Keane's name, Bergomi immediately started squirting.
"Excellent stars are always accompanied by excellent cultivation. Robbie Keane obviously does not have this one. Mourinho is right to not keep him. Now, which player in Inter Milan's forward is not better than him. As far as goals are concerned, he can't find a position here. Why? Because he is the worst one, why should he keep the worst one?"
Leeds United's starting lineup is: goalkeeper: Martin
Defenders: Miles, Ferdinand, Matteo, Hart
Midfielder: Bowyer, Dakot, Barty, Kowell
Forward: Smith, Robbie Keane
"The starting lineup exactly the same as the last game."
"Bowyer, Ferdinand and Matteo are all in the starting lineup."
"Look at Inter Milan."
"Goal Frey,"
"Defender Panucci, Matrazi, Simici, Grosso;"
"Midfielder Zheng Zhi, Dalma, Grasco?"
"Gresco? Not Vampetta or Farinos? This is a bit of an accident."
"The front line is Ronaldo, Vieri, Adriano."
"Ah, it's obvious that Mourinho is going to play 433 formation today! This is going to attack his opponent. It's a surprise. I thought he would choose a conservative and steady way of playing, but now it seems that everyone is wrong in judgment."
storm!
burn one's boats!
The whole army attacked!
The game began with boos. When Robbie Keane just drove the ball, the Inter Milan fans in the North stands immediately gave boos.
