Chapter 860 They are just former champions
Finally, Blue and Black No. 7 jumped to Blue and Black No. 10 and enjoyed the cheers of Blue and Black fans.
Maya Cha may have to start to adapt and no longer only No. 10 shines, No. 7, No. 9, and No. 11 are growing, and they can also become the heroes of Meacha.
Although the game was just a draw in the end, this hard-earned draw still made the Blue and Black fans breathe a sigh of relief, which is better than losing the game.
After the game, Ronaldo was surrounded by the media. The reporters only remembered Ronaldo's final kill and temporarily forgot Zheng Zhi's coquettish assist. Without Zheng Zhi's heel pass, no matter how beautiful Ronaldo's running position was, the ball would not have rolled to his feet...
Ronaldo did not forget himself. When talking about the goal, he said excitedly, "When the captain got the ball, he thought that he had to firmly penetrate the penalty area. The captain would pass the ball, ha, and then he really passed it. Facing Toldo, I thought if I shot directly, it would be a high probability that he would be saved, so I played a clever trick, cheated him first, and then pushed the ball to the far corner. Thank God, the ball entered and could equalize the score for the team."
"You weren't so calm when you shot before. Now you've made obvious progress. Are you practicing more recently?"
Little Ronaldo stuck out his tongue, "Yes, I have been intensifying shooting practice for more than a month. The captain has been by his side to catch our shots. Alger and I will practice for an hour every day, and sometimes we will go to the captain's house to practice. At present, we have only made a little progress."
"The captain personally supervises you?"
"No, the captain practiced with us. He was training as well while we were training and demonstrated and guided himself."
"Arger doesn't seem to have made any progress?"
"Haha, the captain said, he is stupid..."
Robben happened to pass by, so he quickly pretended not to hear it and left with his head down. Today he had many shots, but he still failed to score. Compared to Robben, his shooting level was much worse.
But he was dissatisfied.
While walking, I muttered in my heart, waiting, it's my turn to the Champions League! I'll go back and practice more now!
...

However, Ronaldo's goal still caused controversy after the game, because the referee's stoppage time was too long, with a full five minutes, and in the 90-minute regular time, it didn't take so much time at all.
Juventus felt like losing after the lead. In order to gain a psychological balance, Juventus general manager Moji tried his best to belittle Inter Milan after the game: "I saw a great Juventus in the game, and I didn't see anything. 5 minutes of stoppage time is quite shameful. I really couldn't think of what happened during the game, and it took 5 minutes to make up. Of course, this is their home court."
Coach Lippi is much less prominent than Moji: "The result is correct, the game has been very exciting, not only in the last 10 minutes."
"Everyone thinks that Juventus, who lacks many main players, will be at a disadvantage, but the facts are the opposite. We played very well and we were on the right track. Although we are still 4 points from the top, it is not that far."
Almost no one denies the fact that Juventus plays better. Like the previous rounds, Inter Milan played a bit chaotic. If Juventus relies on the cooperation of the whole team, Inter Milan mainly relies on personal improvisation and tenacious fighting. Although he plays inferior, Inter Milan has no chance of scoring goals than his opponents. Therefore, Mourinho also believes that the draw is a reasonable result, "This is a key point, and Inter Milan will continue to have a psychological advantage."
"The road to winning the championship is still long, but Inter Milan will never fall behind."
Of course, he also wants to fight back against Moji.
"Moji said that the 5-minute stoppage time was too long, but have they ever thought that it was not a penalty kick at all, the foul was on the penalty area line, not in the penalty area, and I think they should laugh, not make a big fuss after the game."
"The league is slow, who smiled and said that it was unknown at the end, but I think Inter Milan will not let other teams taste the taste of the championship easily, wait and see!"
Having said that, AC Milan then defeated Atalanta 4-1 away, surpassing Inter Milan with a goal difference, and jumped to the top of the standings. Rivaldo, Thomason and Pirlo scored twice for AC Milan.
Although the points are the same, Inter Milan can only rank second.
AC Milan once again received praise from Serie A media, believing that AC Milan will be the true destiny of this year's Serie A, and they have the greatest probability of winning the league championship.
The exciting Italian derby, AC Milan and Roma won a away game, and the four giants spent another extraordinary weekend. The Republic commented on the performance of the four giants as usual, and the one that received the highest review was of course AC Milan.
The Republic gave AC Milan, who beat Atlanta 4-1 away, and specifically mentioned Pirlo and Rivaldo. The Republic said that at the beginning of this game, Pirlo was the only one in the team who was not very open and seemed to have not yet emerged from the shadow of the national team losing to Wales. However, as the game progressed, the core AC Milan player gradually regained himself and won two dollars alone.
The Republic said that it seems that Ancelotti knows better how to use Pirlo than Trapatoni. I wonder if Inter Milan misses Pirlo very much?
"Republic" scored a high score of 9 points for AC Milan in this round.
For Inter Milan and Juventus, the Republic gave 6 points and 6.5 pass points respectively, but the referee of this game Corina only scored 5 points. Speaking of the bald referee, the Republic said fiercely: if he didn't look at the last few minutes, his performance was competent, but at the last moment, the best referee in the world acted like a beginner. He first awarded Juventus a controversial penalty, and then gave a very long 5-minute stoppage time in order to find the balance. Of course, the newspaper believes that Juventus' performance is better than Inter Milan.
Inter Milan has long been used to being criticized, but Inter Milan has no time to think about the league, because the Champions League battle has rekindled again. Currently, they have 4 points in three games, and their qualifying situation in the Champions League is not optimistic. In the fourth round, they will go to France to challenge Lyon, who unexpectedly defeated Inter Milan at the Meazza Stadium two weeks ago.
And this time, Lyon's strength will be even stronger because Brazilian star Juninho returns to the starting lineup!
Although there are still three days left before the game starts, the French "League" believes that with Inter Milan's current perspective, Lyon can double defeat Inter Milan. As long as Lyon's first leg level was at the beginning, Inter Milan would undoubtedly lose.
At the same time, the "Team News" also focused on Juninho's younger, believing that Juninho's efforts not only greatly enhance the strength of Lyon's team, but also may determine the direction of the game.
The "Team News" believes that Juninho's strength is underestimated. His strength is actually of the same level as Zheng Zhi, and he is not inferior to Zheng Zhi in terms of set-piece style. Everyone has a beautiful elevator ball and may decide the outcome in the game.
Italy's "Milan Sports" is also not optimistic about Inter Milan when looking forward to the future of Inter Milan.
Special commentator Adani wrote an article that this Inter Milan is too young and has a very unstable performance. The away game against Lyon is not safe, and Lyon has been in good shape recently. Lyon's attacking line is daunting. Three attacking midfielders Carrier, Doraso and Juninho, the youngest, and two first-class forwards Sony Anderson and Govu are all extremely lethal. It is particularly worth noting that Juninho, who temporarily ranked first in the Ligue 1 scorer with 7 goals.
——The current situation of Inter Milan is not very good, mainly due to the injury of the players. The injuries of the three main players Buffon, Matrazi and Vieri have greatly affected the team's offense and defense. In the case of disorganized lineup, Mourinho has to rely on young players again. Robben, Ronaldo and Adriano are his first choices.
——With Lyon's attacking power at home, Inter Milan will face severe tests in this game. Inter Milan fans hope that goalkeeper Fontana can be as brave as he did in the "Italy Derby" last weekend and strive to ensure that the team's goal is not lost.
※※※※
As the sun sets, there are still four guys in the Pinetina training base sweating profusely.
Usually, there are three people, Zheng Zhi, Ronaldo and Robben. Today, there is an additional goalkeeper, that is Inter Milan's substitute goalkeeper Fontana. This is Zheng Zhi who took the initiative to call Fontana and asked him to participate in training.
The reason is very simple, Zheng Zhi is worried about Juninho.
From the news, Juninho will become the first choice for this game. Zheng Zhi knew Juninho's elevator ball strength well, so he thought about practicing Fontana.
Usually, Buffon accompanied them to practice shooting, but Buffon was injured. Fontana couldn't do anything to practice. This time he got what he wanted.
But Zheng Zhi is a devil in training, and it is difficult for Fontana to defend the goal.
Ronaldinho and Ronaldinho stood beside him and shook their heads, muttering in a low voice, "That little Juninho is really that strong too?"
“It’s so perverted.”
"I don't think it's possible?"
Robben didn't believe it.
Little Ronaldo also nodded, "I think so, I think that guy's elevator ball is not as good as mine..."
"you?"
"Haha, during training, you didn't score a few ten feet. If you were to play in the game, you would be laughed at. You'd better put away your thoughts. Just your free kicking method and you're also embarrassed to kick the elevator ball. I advise you, it's better to play the arc ball, which is easy to learn..."
Robben directly attacked Robben.
"Pooh!"
"Do you think everyone is like you and can only shoot with your left foot? This is why you scored less than me. I am more comprehensive. You left foot monster." Ronaldo was not willing to be outdone and immediately hit him back.
"Yo, yo, yo, you scored a lot. Did you score one more goal soon than I did? And your goal last week also scored with your right foot. Have you scored the goal with your left foot?"
Little Ronaldo blinked, "That's no chance to use his left foot. I will definitely score a goal with my left foot, and I can still score a header. Can you?"
Robben:...

On Tuesday night, Inter Milan arrived in Lyon a day early and went to Lyon's Olympic Stadium to get used to the stadium. At the scene, Zheng Zhi was interviewed by French media and he also talked about Juninho.
"I've heard of Juninho's name. He has a very good free kick. Our style is similar. Everyone can do elevator balls. I've told Fontana that we must be careful of his elevator balls. We are also conducting targeted training for this."
"But most people think that you won't win here, or even suffer a defeat. If you lose this game, you may have to look at the faces of other teams."
"You are no longer Inter Milan in the past two years."
Zheng Zhi licked his shriveled lips, "The game has not started yet, and we don't know what the result is."
"You may be seeing a team that is not as strong as before, but I see an team that is rising, and time will prove that we will become stronger and stronger. I never worry that this team will become worse, on the contrary, we have always been full of confidence."
"Sometimes, not being favored is actually a good thing, at least the pressure is not that great."
"Even if you are eliminated from the Champions League?"
"No, we will not be eliminated, it will not be Inter Milan." Zheng Zhi answered firmly.
...
...
Inter Milan announced its starting lineup on Wednesday morning.
Zanetti returned to the starting lineup, and other than that, there is no difference from the lineup that played against Juventus last week.
Goalkeeper: Fontana
Defenders: Panucci, Cordoba, Stam, Grosso
Midfielder: Zanetti, Zheng Zhi, Cambiaso
Forward: Ronaldo, Adriano, Robben
At noon, the coach of the Lyon team first attended the press conference and talked about his opponent Inter Milan, and he was also full of confidence.
“In the Olympic Stadium, there is no reason not to win.”
"Inter Milan is the European champion, but that was before, they were just the champions. We wouldn't be afraid of this. Just like Marseille, are we afraid of Marseille? My players beat them in Meacha, and today they will be the same. My players have long been eager to play this game."
"We will beat them again. I looked at the Italian derby last week and I now find new tactics to deal with them."
Gewu, who attended the press conference with the coach Lyon, was even more arrogant. "The last time we could have beaten them was just my bad luck. I could easily break through their defense line. They couldn't keep an eye on me. This time my luck wouldn't be so bad. I would beat them with more goals!"
“This is Olympic Park Stadium, everything is our final say!”
Arrogant!
