Football: I carry forward Shaolin Kungfu

Before you know it, it is mid-April 2020.

In order to prepare for the second round of the home game against Manchester City, Conte made a substitute lineup in the 30th round of Serie A against Cagliari at home.

A large number of main players such as Ye Chen, Barrera, Devlai, and Brozovic did not play, and were replaced by substitute players such as Candreva, Sanchez, and D'Ambrosio.

Conte thought that with a pretty good substitute lineup, Inter Milan could easily win the relegation team Cagliari at home.

But what I didn't expect was that Inter Milan drew with their opponents 1-1 at home!

It was the first time that Inter Milan, which has been going smoothly this season, has encountered such a result after two consecutive rounds.

The morale of the whole team is getting lower and lower.

Conte is also facing a crisis of confidence for the first time since coaching Inter Milan.

When Inter Milan star Milito was interviewed by Gazzetta dello Sport, he was quite unhappy.

"Conte's rotation?"

"Rotation is very necessary, every coach will rotate, but Lindsay only has 8 rounds left, AC Milan is only 7 points behind us-oh no, after this round, it will be 5 points, they have no European missions To keep chasing is to wait for our chance to make mistakes.”

"Is the Serie A championship stable?"

"No, no, as I said before, it is far from the time to talk about the championship. The first thing we need to do is to focus on every game, especially not to lose points on weak teams. The last round against Cali Yari, is a typical negative example, we lost two points at home!"

"Champions League against Manchester City?"

"I won't say we're out of the game, it's not the spirit of the Inter Milan people, but, compared to the Champions League champion, maybe Conte should understand that a visible and tangible Serie A champion is more realistic. I don't want to What we saw was that in the end we got nothing!"

"Ye Chen's role?"

"Ye Chen is a phenomenal player. However, football is a team sport. Just like being defeated by Manchester City in the away game, Ye Chen, like the whole team, was lost in the high pressure of Guardiola. The difficulties I had to go through when I was growing up, I also encountered when I was young."

The Argentine Milito was an important contributor to Inter Milan's only Triple Crown in Serie A in 2010. He scored two goals in the final against Bayern, for which he was selected into Inter Milan's Historical Hall of Fame.

His voice this time has had an impact on many Inter Milan players.

Local Italian players such as Candreva, D'Ambrosio and Gagliardini all agree with Milito's views, believing that winning the Serie A championship at the current stage is the top priority for players.

As for the second round of the Champions League against Manchester City, there is a high probability that they will not be able to play!

It is a wise move to preserve strength, not to get injured in the final stage of the league, and to maintain the 5-point advantage until the end of the 38th round, rather than expending a lot of physical strength to fight against Manchester City.

On the evening of April 4th, at the Meazza Stadium in Milan.

Although the Inter Milan team had disagreements about the choice of this Champions League match, the fans were still enthusiastic. In this game, [-] Inter Milan fans poured in, and it was another game that was almost full of fans!

In the locker room, everyone is changing shoes and clothes, preparing to go on stage.

In this game, Conte played all the cards he could play and played against Manchester City with the strongest lineup.

Ye Chen was surprised to find that he could see the morale value on everyone's head.

Morale values ​​are indicated by arrows.

Except for Lautaro, Shik and Brozovic, a few people are light red raised arrows.

For others, either a straight yellow arrow or a downward gray arrow.

Players like Candreva, Barrera, Gagliardini, and even a vertical black arrow!

These people sat blankly in their seats, staring at the shoes under their feet in a daze.

Inter Milan's Italian local gang has no morale to play this game at all. Their minds are all on the next away game against Bologna.

Conte came in and he gave a passionate speech first.

As the head coach, he has won three Serie A titles and one Premier League title, full of honors.

But, never won the Champions League!

So from the perspective of Conte's selfishness, he is not very concerned about whether Inter Milan can win Serie A, anyway, there are still five points of advantage to squander;

He expects that Inter Milan can go further in the Champions League, even win the championship, and realize his dream of the Champions League.

"Boys, lift your heads up for me!"

Conte clapped for a while, trying to attract the players' attention.

However, many players still hang their heads.

Conte started his pre-match speech:

"Wake up, everyone, what you are about to face is not a simple Serie A or Champions League knockout match! We are at home, facing Manchester City from England. I know this is not a small challenge for us. !"

"But don't forget, you are wearing the Inter Milan jersey, you have no way out, you have to face the challenge like a man and defeat your opponent, and this is how you are worthy of the [-] spectators who are cheering for you!"

"The Serie A championship is very important, but the Champions League is more important than Serie A! Think about it, what kind of wonderful feeling is it to stand on top of Europe? We are only one goal behind them now, and this is still home. The chance of a comeback is very great! Let I see your passion, lads!"

After Conte's speech, Ye Chen observed the change in team morale.

In addition to Lautaro, Shik and Brozovic, the morale arrows of Handanovic, Bastoni and Lukaku also changed from yellow to slightly raised light red.

As for the players of the Italian local gang, except for the fact that Barrera's arrow turned into a straight yellow, Candreva and Gagliardini are still lifeless downward black.

"This is not okay, everyone's morale must be raised, otherwise there will be no fight with Manchester City!"

Ye Chen stood up, walked to the middle of the locker room, and said to Conte:

"Coach, can you please go out first, I have something to say, I want to talk to my brothers alone."

Conte froze for a moment, hesitated for a while, then nodded, and took the assistant out.

He had finished his speech, and it was time to go to the coach's bench.

The teammates looked at Ye Chen a little strangely.

What would Ye Chen want to tell them?

In the past, when the team members spoke before the game, the old captain Handanovic was at most a few words of encouragement.

Ye Chen never said anything.

In the eyes of everyone, Ye Chen cleared his throat.

"Brothers, there is a fruit shop downstairs where I live. The owner is a 70-year-old white-haired old lady. She never watches football and doesn't know that I am an Inter player. But every time I pass by, even if I don't buy it Apple, the old lady will call me to stop."

"She would come up to me with a smile, look me in the eyes and say to me, Asian boy, I will give you an apple, corai! As long as I pass by and she sees her, she will do it every day."

This word is pronounced coraggio in Italian, but the grandmother is from Genoa in the south, so she has an accent and pronounces it like corai. "

Ye Chen paused for a moment, everyone's eyes were like spotlights on him alone.

"Of all character traits, the most important is courage!"

"On the court, whether you lose, win or draw, the most fundamental requirement is to be brave! Be brave to make mistakes, no matter what happens! Be brave to do things well until the end! Be brave enough to persist for nine or 10 minutes and do our best able!"

"The last game at the Etihad, we lost our bravery and played very poorly, when you go to the supermarket to shop, the woman who collects the money maybe thinks, 'This is an Inter Milan who is afraid to come out'. , this feeling is not good."

"Today, I don't want to see this situation anymore. This is my first season of the Champions League, but whenever the Champions League song is played, I feel heavy, solemn and proud of the blue and black. I feel Thousands of eyes are looking forward to my glorious mission - let Inter Milan's name be engraved on the base of the Champions League trophy!"

……

Three minutes later, Ye Chen finished his speech.

All Inter Milan players stand up.

Their eyes were blazing.

The previous colorful arrows were light red, yellow, and black.

just now.

All of them turned into big red arrows that soared into the sky like a rocket, shining with the light of an explosion!

Inter players, all raised up!

"Okay, well said!"

"The words of Milito are not worth mentioning, brothers, I just like listening to Ye Chen talk!"

"Ye Chen, what you said is amazing, unlike Conte, who repeats those few words over and over again."

"Serie A and Champions League, I want them both!"

"Damn, is Manchester City hanging? How many Champions Leagues have they won? None, we Inter Milan have three, we have a long history, we are not afraid of anyone!"

Lautaro made a high jump on the spot, pumping his fist into the air.

"I want to make the fan who lost my jersey regret, I want to score, I want to hit him in the face!"

Lukaku threw an iron fist at the locker room cabinet, causing a burst of dust to fall from the roof. He shouted:

"I was going to attack in the last game, but it wasn't Conte. I asked all of us to replay it, otherwise I would have killed Manchester City!"

Barrera slammed the extra shin guard onto the ground, then stomped on it, breaking it with a snap!

"Listen to my Brother Ye, big guy, let's fight for courage together, let's fight Manchester City to death!!!"

The locker room is filled with the smell of male hormones!
