The Prince of Inter Milan starts with Brother Xiaosa

Chapter 76 Oolong
  At the end of the game, the three little ones got together again.

The excitement of Thornton, who played the entire game in his first start for Inter Milan, has not completely subsided.

"This feels so great! I can't even imagine how great it would be to go back to play at home!"

"Then you are too timid."

Thornton:?
  Leo smiled as he watched Bashen and Thornton having fun, shook his head and said nothing.

Thornton's performance today was quite satisfactory. He worked hard defensively and did not make any particularly serious mistakes. He was basically qualified.

But at the same time, Thornton's performance was mediocre on the offensive end.

After being reminded by Leo before the game, Thornton would rather reduce the number of assists he provided rather than press too far forward and lose his defensive position.

Do not seek success, but seek no fault.

Thornton succeeded in doing just that in this game.

I dare not say too much. As long as he can maintain this performance in the next period of time, he will definitely get a lot of playing time in the hands of Mourinho.

At the post-match press conference, Mourinho's speech seemed much more modest and low-key than before.

“It’s certainly something to be happy about when we beat our opponent 4-0 away from home.

I'm also pleased with the performance of the boys.

But what I want to say is that the Roma team was not in shape today, and their uneven lineup was also one of the reasons.

That's why we were able to achieve such a big victory by luck. "

Mourinho said this not only for the media, but mainly for the players in the team.

He does not want the Inter Milan players to develop a bad mentality of complacency because of this victory, nor does he want the Nerazzurri supporters to have blind confidence.

"Although we are top of the table, it's too early to talk about the title.

I've been in first place by 7 points at this point in the past, and I've been in first place by 5 points at this point, but I ended up winning the championship. "

For Leo, who scored one goal and assisted three goals in this game, Mourinho did not hesitate to praise him.

"Leo is already the best! He can adapt to any tactical system!
  He has a genius imagination, magical passing, and excellent breakthrough and scoring abilities.

He can deliver dangerous passes to his teammates from anywhere in the midfield.

On the defensive end, Leo will always help the team at critical moments. He contains energy beyond his age!

He is a real team player and very important for Inter Milan. "

The league has only played seven rounds, and Li Aoguang has already received nine assists.

According to this efficiency, by the end of the season, the single-season assist record in Serie A will not be broken!

The outside world was discussing it heatedly, but Leo didn't care, and he didn't relax at all in his daily training.

Mourinho saw this and became more and more fond of Leo.

"This is a truly promising player!"

In order to celebrate his first first-team appearance, David Thornton decided to spend his own money to invite Leo and Balotelli to the bar to have fun.

Leo didn't refuse this. This was a very normal social activity. With him, at least the two brats wouldn't go too far.

"Boss, I heard that the management of this bar is very lax, don't worry!"

Italian law does not care about minors drinking, but bars generally refuse entry to minors.

Probably because he was afraid that something messy would happen.

Pretending to be familiar with the road, David Thornton led the way. After entering the bar, someone recognized Leo and Balotelli.

They are now considered celebrities in the city of Milan.

However, Leo quickly noticed something was wrong. If he was an Inter Milan fan, he shouldn't have this weird atmosphere.

Then he saw the AC Milan team flag and red and black striped shirt hanging on the wall of the bar.

"David! Are you crazy? This is a bar for Milan fans!" Smiling kindly at the customers (drunkards) who were looking over, Leo pulled Thornton and Balotelli and ran out.

Ronaldinho just happened to lead Pato out to fool around, and passed by Leo and the others.

"Those people just now seemed familiar?"

"Are they those boys from Inter Milan?"

"Impossible, this is the bar of our Rossoneri. Are they here looking for death?"

It seemed that he was right, Ronaldinho smiled and shrugged.

"Let's go, we won't come back until we get drunk tonight!"

On October 2008, 10, the third round of Group B of the European Champions Cup group stage began.

Inter Milan faced Anorthosis, the dark horse of their group, at home.

The Cypriot team drew with Werder Bremen and defeated Panathinaikos in the first two rounds, ranking second in the group behind the Nerazzurri with four points.

Therefore, even Mourinho did not dare to be careless about this game.

In a double match in a week, the Madmen still made considerable adjustments to the starting lineup.

Quaresma and Adriano returned to the starting lineup, and Toldo also replaced the rested Cesar.

Well, Inter Milan returned to 433 at home today.

Otherwise, the Quaresma they spent more than 20 million plus one player on would have been wasted.

But after the game started, Leo felt the pressure.

First of all, compared to the two forwards of Ibrahimovic and Balotelli, there is not a good chemical reaction between Ibrahimovic, Quaresma, and Adriano.

In other words, the three forwards basically have no cooperation and each plays his own role.

At the same time, although Inter Milan's three midfielders are all very strong, their control of the midfield will definitely be much weaker without one person.

Leo also had to be distracted and retreat to assist in defense, otherwise it would be really uncomfortable for the visiting team to launch a counterattack unexpectedly.

Near the end of the first half, Leo sent a long pass to the left. Ibrahimovic moved in a wide range. Maicon stopped the ball on the right side of the penalty area and kicked back to avoid the defense and pass into the penalty area.

Ade's header in front of the goal missed the goal post slightly.

Sighing slightly, Mourinho had long expected this to be the case.

However, he still had a glimmer of hope. As long as the people on the field could score a goal and win the game 1-0, that would be enough.

It's a pity that it doesn't seem to be possible.

At the end of the first half, Inter Milan and Anorthosis were tied 0-0 at home.

This score is difficult to satisfy the Nerazzurri. The Inter Milan supporters in the stands are eager to see the home team score as soon as possible.

The madman did not rush back to the locker room. After a moment of hesitation, he asked Balotelli and Muntari to warm up in the second half and prepare to play as substitutes.

There is not much to say. In the second half, it finally returned to the familiar four-three-one-two. The Nerazzurri's offense was obviously much smoother than in the first half.

After the Portuguese who likes to shoot wildly and the Brazilian whose legs are weak go down, Leo's passing finally becomes more meaningful.

In the 46th minute, the second half has just begun.

Leo made a diagonal pass from the center circle directly into the penalty area, and Balotelli's diving header went into the goal!
  Not long after, Maicon made a breakthrough pass from the right, and Ibrahimovic half-turned against the defender and shot a clever shot!
  Two to zero!
  Mourinho's substitutions had an immediate effect, scoring two goals within a few minutes of the start of the second half.

"Tonight went really well."

Despite some twists and turns, the Portuguese team finally won the game.

"I'm happy with the team's performance, the players were tired and the opponent was in great form, but we still beat them.

Winning streak? I don't really care about this kind of thing. I just give my best in every game and win every opponent. It's that simple. "
