After the game, Mourinho quickly left the stadium after shaking hands with Leonardo. At this moment, he was unwilling to be the focus of attention. He knew that the media would rediscover the old things about him and Inter Milan after the game, but this was no longer important to him, and he would rather everyone pay attention to the game itself.

At the post-match press conference, Mourinho was asked about his feelings for Inter Milan, and his answer was unspoken, which not only expressed his respect for his old club, but also reiterated his loyalty to Real Madrid.

Chu Zhongtian's outstanding performance in this game has also become the focus of everyone's discussion after the game. A Chinese reporter asked Mourinho to evaluate Chu Zhongtian's performance in most of the season with Real Madrid. Although everyone knows that Chu Zhongtian's performance is very good, they just want to hear the praise of Chu Zhongtian from the mouth of the world's number one head coach to satisfy the vanity of the Chinese.

Mourinho did not disappoint them, and praised Chu Zhongtian's performance.

In fact, Chu Zhongtian's performance in this game was indeed very outstanding, and he deserved such praise and the media's pursuit.

If he hadn't scored the first record in the game, no one would know where the game would have developed. Perhaps Inter Milan, which had the home advantage, gradually took the initiative, and it might not be certain that he won the game in the end.

Because Chu Zhongtian, even if there is a draw now, Real Madrid can return to home to meet Inter Milan with a away goal.

Real Madrid has taken the lead in the two-round knockout round.

Chu Zhongtian was also surrounded by reporters in the mixed zone. He wanted to be outstanding in this game. Judging from Real Madrid's current state, Real Madrid has high hopes for another Champions League final, because after passing the quarter-finals, their opponents in the semi-finals are not too strong. Another quarter-final in this region is a battle between two weak teams. They are Moscow Sparta from Russia and Celtics from Scotland. No matter who wins and loses these two teams, with Real Madrid's strength, it is easy to suppress them to advance to the finals. Therefore, the difficulty lies in the quarter-finals against Inter Milan.

Real Madrid now has a good start on the road.

If Real Madrid can really reach the final, Chu Zhongtian has the hope of becoming a player who will win the Champions League championships on behalf of two teams in a row, and this is also the most important purpose of his transfer from Hoffenheim to Real Madrid.

※※After the game in Meazza, Real Madrid flew directly back to the Spanish capital Madrid.

Where will they play another domestic league game, and then the second round of the two sides will be played.

In order to prepare for the second leg match with Inter Milan next Wednesday, Mourinho will use a rotation lineup in the weekend against Santander Athletics, and Chu Zhongtian and others will get a chance to rest.

Especially Chu Zhongtian, although the end of the season is approaching, whether it is a championship or a relegation, the competition is becoming more and more fierce and has become increasingly fierce. Santander Athletics is currently only five points away from the relegation zone. In order to relegate, even on the away game, Santander Athletics will do its best to win.

So Mourinho is worried that in this way, the chances of players who are injured will increase greatly. In fact, no core players in Real Madrid have been injured so far, and Mourinho already feels that he is lucky. But his luck cannot keep going.

In order to protect his important players, Mourinho decided to let Chu Zhongtian, C. Ronaldo and Kaka, and Alonso take a rest in the match against Santander.

In the Athletics of Santander, he basically sent rotation players, Garez Bale replaced Marcelo, Aveloa made a substitute Ramos, the two central defenders were Albiol and Gare, the two midfielders were Khedira and Granero, the front front were Di Maria and Ozil, and the starting strikers were Benzema and Adebayo.

Mourinho plays 4231 most of the time, but he plays 442 during rotation because he cannot provide enough people in the midfield, so the forwards have plenty of money... Mourinho doesn't think that he will lose to Santander at home by using such a large-scale rotation. After all, the desire to win and fight in this lineup is very strong.

In fact, the same is true. Real Madrid swept Athletic Santander 4:1 at its home court, pushing them directly to the edge of the relegation zone.

However, Barcelona also won, and the gap between the two sides was still one point.

Such a battle has reached a heightened level.

At the same time, it will make the nerves of both sides become stronger and stronger. Real Madrid and Barcelona currently have the opportunity to compete for the championship in the Champions League and domestic leagues. In addition, Real Madrid will also play in the final of the Copa del Rey. It can be said that three fronts are fighting at the same time.

Such a high-intensity game and the intensity of the championship are constantly stimulating the players of the two teams. It depends on who is now nervous and defeated under such high pressure.

Real Madrid players now deeply understand how much pressure the leader is.

If Mourinho hadn't been good at regulating the psychological emotions of the players, he would have collapsed on the former Real Madrid... Chu Zhongtian also felt that pressure. Whether at Metz or Hoffenheim, Chu Zhongtian had never experienced the feeling of being a leader. Metz and Hoffenheim were catching up most of the time. Occasionally, he had the chance to take the top spot in the league and would soon come down. At least he was always in the process of alternating league rankings.

Real Madrid's condition this season is really good. So far, they have never lost in the thirty-two rounds of the league... Since the 16th round of the league, they have been sitting in the top seat of the league since they defeated Barcelona 2-0 at home.

He has led the lead for 16 rounds, and such a long leading process has become increasingly a torment for all Real Madrid players.

Be careful in every game, whether they play first or Barcelona play first. If Barcelona wins, they are under a lot of pressure and must win; they are as stressed as they play first, because they don’t know whether Barcelona can win, so winning first is the safest way.

In short, no matter what, there is a lot of pressure.

Chu Zhongtian is a person who is not afraid of pressure. Now facing Barcelona's aggressive pressing, he is also a little nervous.

In his opinion, this pressure is greater than the pressure of participating in a Champions League final, because the Champions League final is just a game, ninety minutes, or one hundred and twenty minutes, or even longer - if you want to play a penalty final.

What about the current league? Every round of league is like a Champions League final for Real Madrid players, and the pressure accumulated after game is amazing.

Moreover, this kind of pressure cannot be released by losing, because once you lose, the pressure will be more - who is not under much pressure if you lose the championship?

So I can only grit my teeth and hold on to see who can't hold on first and fall behind.

In fact, Barcelona is not feeling well. Their opponents in the Champions League are not weaker than Real Madrid's opponents. Barcelona's opponent in the quarter-finals was Manchester United. They played at the Camp Nou first. Barcelona won Manchester United by 2:1, which is not considered an insurance score, because Manchester United scored a away goal. Moreover, their second leg was to go to Old Trafford, which was more dangerous than Real Madrid.

Even so, Guardiola still did not give up on the league. He sent the strongest lineup he could, defeating Real Sociedad 2-1 away and continued to maintain pressure on Real Madrid.

But what made Barcelona coach Guardiola more happy than the victory was that he played against Real Sociedad, and no one of his players was injured.

This means that he can also send the strongest lineup to deal with Manchester United.

Even if Barcelona passes Manchester United, he still faces a winner between Chelsea and Bayern Munich in the quarter-finals. No matter which of these two teams is much better than the Celtics and Sparta Moscow.

Under such circumstances, Barcelona can still hold on to Real Madrid tightly, and the pressure on Real Madrid can be imagined.

※※ Mourinho has no time to consider how huge pressure Barcelona has put on his players, and the second leg game against Inter Milan is imminent.

On the second day after the match against Santander, Mourinho asked the players who participated in the match against Santander to conduct restorative training, mainly to train physical fitness to prevent excessive fatigue from being injured in training. Those players who did not play increased the amount of training. At the end of the training, Mourinho also specially arranged an in-team confrontation game to help the players maintain their game state in this way so as not to lose their form because they did not play in a game.

Chu Zhongtian, c. Ronaldo and Kaka are both people who have not won a minute of the game in this game.

As the league is coming to an end, Mourinho gives more opportunities to players who don’t usually get time for the game and young people who are drawn from the second team.

During the training, Chu Zhongtian showed his good condition, which reassuring Mourinho.

Now the core of Real Madrid is Chu Zhongtian. Chu Zhongtian is in good condition, so Real Madrid's condition will not be bad. If others are in good condition, they can look forward to a big victory.

Chu Zhongtian is Mourinho's favorite player - he is serious in training, has professional ethics, does his best on the court, does everything he wants to win, works low-key and diligent in life, and maintains good living habits, so as to ensure that his good condition can continue.

※※Inter Milan's plane arrived at Madrid Airport on Tuesday, and about 10,000 Inter Milan fans were also following them.

In fact, Real Madrid's home court, Bernabeu, did not provide so many tickets to the away team. There are only 3,000 lucky people who can enter the stadium to watch the game. At that time, such a small number of people will not cause any storm in front of 70,000 Real Madrid fans.

As for the others, they can only watch the game live on the outside of the stadium, bars, or hotels.

Logically speaking, since they are all watching TV, it is the same when they watch in Madrid and Milan. But these people still choose to come to Madrid to express their support to their team.

Inter Milan fans are very clear about the situation their team is facing now. This expedition to Madrid is a disaster. It is precisely because of this that they have to give them the maximum support. They cannot go to the stadium to watch the game, but they can follow the team to come to Madrid to strengthen their momentum and let Inter Milan players know that they will always be with the team.

For a time, there were many patrolmen on the streets of Madrid, and their security forces were strengthened. The atmosphere of the competition became stronger and stronger.

At this time, in the sports city, Real Madrid still trained as usual. Mourinho ordered Pepe, who was sent off with a red card in the last game, attended the press conference with him.

After the game, Spanish media once protested that the referee was sentenced too heavily and just give a penalty kick. At most, he would give a yellow card. There is no need to give Pepe a red card directly.

Real Madrid did not protest, they obviously accepted it. Mourinho did not comment on it.

Barcelona and Real Madrid played very hot in the Champions League semi-finals last season. There were also many debates about red cards and fake falls on the field after the game. Mourinho and Real Madrid were named and warned by UEFA to ask them to be quiet.

So now Real Madrid's performance has become much more well-behaved.

Of course, Pepe's penalty kick is undoubtedly not very tenable, and the debate on red cards is not very strong. So everyone has handled this matter in a low-key manner. This season, Florentino's request for Mourinho is to have less debate off the court and put more experience on the court to win a convincing championship. He really can't stand Barcelona's monopoly of Spanish football and plans to monopolize European football.

The Spanish Super Cup at the beginning of the season could not satisfy Florentino. It was a useless championship trophy. It was a shame to be proud of that trophy - since when will Real Madrid cheer for winning a useless championship?

At the press conference, Mourinho answered questions about Real Madrid's goals for this season. Mourinho has never said in public what his goals for this season are. But everyone can guess it - for a club like Real Madrid, is there anything else that can satisfy them except the championship trophy?

But everyone wants to get confirmation from the head coach.

A final answer.

"It's currently reaching the semi-finals - I know what you want to hear, but I'm sorry, it's not fair to our opponents to discuss the championship now. Inter Milan is a very strong opponent and we have to go all out to beat them."

Mourinho did not look arrogant at all at this time, and he was even low-key and humble.

Everyone speculated that this was related to his opponent was Inter Milan. He obviously did not want to use those arrogant words to destroy his image in the minds of Inter Milan fans. He is a person who cares very much about how others view him, and he cares about those evaluations. At Chelsea, he is still the object of favorites and support for many Chelsea fans, and the same is true in Inter Milan, and he is proud of it.

If you change your opponent, I'm afraid Mourinho will start the psychological warfare he is best at again.

Leonardo is lucky. With Inter Milan, he was not teased by Mourinho. There are too many reasons and excuses for Mourinho to tease Leonardo.

Pepe was asked about the red card. Many people were worried that Pepe would not be able to play, which would lay hidden dangers on Real Madrid's defense line. Although his mind would suddenly short circuit sometimes, his defensive ability is still quite strong. With him, Real Madrid's defense line would be much more stable. Inter Milan played very badly in the first round, but if there was any gain, it might be Pepe's red card. If Inter Milan wants to win back in the second round, he has to take advantage of this point that Pepe cannot play.

Pepe refused to discuss the red card. He didn't even shout for justice for himself, but said that he would cheer for his teammates on the spot, hoping that they could beat Inter Milan to advance to the semi-finals.

Even if Real Madrid can advance to the semi-finals, he will not be able to play in the first leg semi-finals, but he will always be able to play in the second game.

※※※ Unlike Real Madrid's low-key side, Leonardo performed very confidently after coming to Madrid.

When he was interviewed by reporters, he said that he came to Madrid to take away a victory.

"This thing is very simple. We have no other way to go except victory, so we can only pursue victory. My players and I are ready. ... It is of course a very difficult game to play at the Bernabeu and Real Madrid, but we have to win. We will try our best!"

Sneijder also expressed his support for the head coach.

The opponent beat him 1:1 at home. This result is not good, but it has not reached the end of the world. Inter Milan is now united and very united.

"I think it's great to be able to return to Madrid. The last time we won the Champions League here, I think this is a stadium that can bring us good luck!"

Sneijder is not unfamiliar with the Bernabeu Stadium. He used to play for Real Madrid. He had no time to revisit his former teammates when he was revisiting the old place. The most important thing is to prepare without distraction. He can talk to his former teammates after winning the game and advancing to the semi-finals to comfort the opponent's injured heart, but it is not possible now.

In fact, what he thought more was not about finding old friends to reminisce about the past, but about eliminating Real Madrid at the Bernabeu and slapping Florentino hard in the face.

He still remembers his feelings when he was abandoned by Real Madrid. He has a deep affection for Mourinho, but this does not mean that he has a deep affection for Real Madrid.

In the first round, he was restricted by Chu Zhongtian. In the second half, Cambiaso came up to help, which improved slightly. But he still failed to help the team win. In the second round, he would not allow himself to perform like the first game again.

Whether it is Chu Zhongtian or Real Madrid, he will defeat him!
