The Prince of Inter Milan starts with Brother Xiaosa

Chapter 134

After the game, Ibrahimovic left with the team and returned to Catalonia without saying anything to his old teammates who were waiting to ridicule him.

Leo could tell that the Swede was in no mood, so he didn't let him have a meal.

The game is over, but the impact of this game goes beyond that.

The next day, the front pages of all major sports newspapers rushed to report the result of Inter Milan's game.

The local media in Italy even tried their best to praise it.

They dared to shout things like "the new king is crowned" and "the strongest in Europe".

The Italian media "Slow Motion" even scored the team's lowest 5 points for "Judas" who turned against Inter Milan after the game, and ruthlessly ridiculed Ibrahimovic.

"Next time, you might be lucky enough to get one, although history shows that you have never been trustworthy on this battlefield."

However, the Swedes themselves disagree.

“I had a lot of chances to score tonight and with a little more luck I would have scored.

We can only accept this result, but I really think we played better than Inter Milan. "

In addition, the outside world generally believes that Eto'o's performance in the game overwhelmed Ibrahimovic.

In a poll conducted by Corriere dello Sport, 63% of fans believed the "Cheetah" was stronger than Ibrahimovic.

The Spanish media's post-match ratings generally gave the Cameroonian a higher score than Ibrahimovic.

The reason is also very simple, because in addition to scoring goals, Eto'o has comprehensively surpassed Ibrahimovic in terms of his enthusiasm for fighting, the number and success rate of one-on-one confrontations, and the opportunities he created for the team.

However, Barcelona's smooth and tacit offensive cooperation in the midfield and frontcourt made Ibrahimovic, who stood alone in the frontcourt and failed to score even though he had a chance, look particularly awkward.

Ibrahimovic failed to reflect the 46 million euro worth gap between him and Eto'o in this direct dialogue.

Barcelona fans were so happy when they praised him when he joined, now they are scolding him so fiercely.

This can only be blamed on his own choices.

Three days later, before the excitement of defeating Barcelona had completely passed, Inter Milan ushered in the fourth round of Serie A.

The Nerazzurri, who have played their previous three league games at San Siro, will travel to Cagliari for an away game against Cagliari on Sunday afternoon.

Mourinho attended the press conference before the game, and the Inter Milan coach hinted at the unfair treatment suffered by the team.

“Up to now we have played three Serie A games in a month and now we will play the same number of games in a week.

Fortunately, it's still early in the season, so we don't need to rotate many players yet.

But I will have to control the physical condition of the players who have played continuously for the national team and the Champions League.

Now they face three games in a row with only two days between each game!
  I think every team competing in European competitions should be protected so that they can be at their best.

Unfortunately, we were a bit unlucky and the schedule didn't go as we had hoped.

We will play Napoli next Wednesday, they play the fourth round today and we play tomorrow.

For teams like Juventus, which have the same goals as ours, their two league games are on Saturday and next Thursday, while we are on Sunday and next Wednesday.

I don’t know what the reason is, we can only accept this schedule. "

On September 2009, 9, in the sunny Sardinia, Mourinho's team began their three-game journey in seven days.

Inter Milan made adjustments to the starting lineup. Samuel and Chiwu, who performed well in the Champions League, got a chance to rest, and Cordoba and Thornton got a chance to start.

Cambiasso, who suffered a knee injury in mid-August, finally returned from injury. He took Motta's place, and the front trident is still immovable.

A minute's silence was observed before kick-off to commemorate the six Italian soldiers killed in a suicide car bombing in Kabul on the 17th.

Facing the underdog Cagliari, which had suffered two consecutive defeats, Inter Milan certainly hopes to win away from home and usher in four consecutive league wins in the new season.

In the first half of the game, Inter Milan, wearing a white away jersey, took the lead.

Against Cagliari today, the Nerazzurri obviously did not have the same outstanding form as they did against Barcelona three days ago.

Just a few minutes into the game, Cambiasso, who had been out of action for a long time, received a yellow card after uprooting Desena.

In the ninth minute, Leo and Eto'o made a one-two match, and then were tripped by Mazzorati in the penalty area, but the referee refused to award a penalty kick.

Forget it, but five minutes later, Jada passed from the right into the penalty area, and Maicon pushed Matri during the scramble!
  Not only was he awarded a penalty kick, the Inter Milan full-back also received a yellow card.

Referee Daniele Osato's double-standard penalty caused great dissatisfaction with Inter Milan.

However, he had no intention of changing the sentence, but his attitude was very tough.

Then Jada took the penalty. He deceived Cesar and shot the ball into the lower left corner. Cagliari led Inter Milan 1-0 at home.

They had just won the Triple Crown champion Barcelona at home, how come they couldn't even beat a relegation team in the away game?
  This will not work!

The Nerazzurri quickly organized a counterattack, and Leo drove the ball forward.

Continuously breaking through the defenses of Biondini and Conte, Leo sent a through ball at the front of the penalty area!

Milito broke into the right side of the penalty area and shot into the lower left corner of the goal with his right foot!
  One to one! Inter Milan equalized the score!
  This is also Milito's third consecutive Serie A game in which he has scored.

However, with all members of the home team retreating, Leo's subsequent attacks failed to produce very good results.

With nine defensive players standing in Cagliari's penalty area, there was no room to shoot or pass.

At the end of the first half, the score was still one to one.

Mourinho naturally cannot accept such a score.

"Strengthen the offense in the second half, and any result other than victory will be unacceptable!"

At the beginning of the second half, Thiago Motta and Balotelli replaced Cambiaso and Thornton.

Zanetti appeared at the left back position, and Inter Milan changed to 4-2-4!

The Madmen want to use the attacking lineup of four forwards to quickly score goals to end the game!
  As a result, the home team seized the opportunity and almost took the lead again. Desena's long shot from outside the penalty area hit the right post.

In the 49th minute, Leo made a long pass, and Inter Milan's four forwards lined up and moved forward quickly!
  Cagliari's defense was facing a formidable enemy, and the defensive players also tried their best to defend the penalty area.

With the cooperation of Eto'o and Milito, Balotelli pushed his right foot into the net from the sideline of the penalty area!

Two to one!

Inter Milan overtook the score!
  Bashen scored with his first touch of the ball after coming off the bench!
  "Oh, this kid!"

Mourinho also loves and hates Balotelli as a player. Everyone can see the talent in Balotelli.

But as long as he has been with him for a while in a crucial game, it will be difficult to maintain trust in him.

As expected, it is impossible for Bashen to remain normal all the time.

Just three minutes later, Leo ripped apart Cagliari's defense with a scalpel-like through pass!
  Then there is no more then.

Balotelli caught the ball in the penalty area and turned 180 degrees, knocking his heel and knocking the ball out of the baseline.

Leo:? ? ?
  Mourinho: ? ? ?
  What is this kid thinking?
  Cagliari counterattacked from the left, Cosu quickly broke through and passed in. Canini's header missed the mark.

Leo passed the ball into the penalty area from the frontcourt, and Diego Milito succeeded in countering offside. Then he shot a shot from the front of the small penalty area slightly higher than the crossbar.

"Milito seems to be in good condition today. I can pass more passes to him later."

In the 57th minute, Balotelli was tackled by Astori while dribbling the ball, and the referee only gave him a yellow card.

Mourinho was very dissatisfied with the penalty. As a result, Orsa showed him a red card and the Inter Milan coach was sent to the stands.

The madman came to the stands that he was no stranger to after "a long absence".

Cagliari took advantage of the absence of Inter Milan players and launched another threatening counterattack.

Canini made a pass from the right, Maicon almost scored an own goal with a header, and the ball flew out of the baseline.

The home team also made substitution adjustments in the 65th minute, Allegri replaced Biondini with Lazzari.

Kosu knocked back from the middle, and De Sena followed up with a long shot and missed.

Cagliari is still constantly looking for scoring opportunities, hoping to equalize the score with the advantage of home court and the opportunity of Inter Milan's head coach being sent off.

However, the Nerazzurri did not give them such a chance.

In the 72nd minute, Leo stole the ball from substitute Lazari in the frontcourt and then took advantage of the situation and passed the high ball into the penalty area!
  It's Milito again, he blasts the goal with his right foot just before the penalty spot!
  Cagliari goalkeeper Marchetti had nothing to do with this powerful shot from close at hand!
  Three to one!

Inter Milan extended their lead to two points!
  Cagliari made another substitution, Allegri replaced Matri with Nene in order to strengthen the attack.

For Inter Milan, Leo was replaced by Vieira. Next, they only need to defend the two-goal advantage until the end of the game.

Leo was replaced early because they still had a game to play in only two days.

Anyway, this game is basically won, so let him get off the field early and rest.

After Leo left the field, Inter Milan basically had no good scoring opportunities.

In the 87th minute, Lazari's shot from the edge of the penalty area was scored by Cesar.

Inter counterattacked, Milito passed the ball, and Balotelli's low shot with his right foot from a small angle missed the far post.

Two minutes later, Kosu's push shot in the penalty area missed.

Although the tenacious Cagliari attacked until the last second, they still failed to break through the Nerazzurri's door again.

In the end, Inter Milan came back to win 3-1 in the away game and successfully scored three league points!
  After the game, Mourinho didn't want to say much about the referee's penalty. He focused on praising the players.

"Leo and Milito's cooperation has become more and more tacit, and their connection has threatened the opponent's goal many times, and finally scored two goals.

This is something I'm very happy to see.

This game is over, and I don’t want to say anything more about the process of the game.

Next we will start preparing for the game against Napoli three days later. "
