Chapter 650: The Most Loved and the Most Hated
Aston Villa and Inter Milan's Champions League group stage match is considered the highlight of the day.
There's a lot to see about this game.
Ronaldo's return to the Meazza Stadium was a big attraction, and the match was highly anticipated by the media and fans as early as the group draw.
Shevchenko's visit to the Stadio Meaza is also a highlight, as the former AC Milan striker is widely regarded as an Inter Milan killer, even when he returned to Dynamo Kiev last season, Shevchenko also scored against Inter Milan in the Champions League group stage.
In addition, this game is also the first big team Aston Villa have actually encountered in the Champions League, and it was also last season's treble, which is also seen as a litmus test for this new team in the Premier League.
The next day was the game against Milan.
Fang Jue and the coaching staff were very relaxed, they didn't stay up late to study the opponent.
As last season's treble winning team and the overlord of Serie A, Inter Milan, after the group draw results came out, Fang Jue and his assistants began to study Inter Milan, and it can be said that they have studied this team thoroughly.
In fact, among the opponents in this group, Fang Jue and the coaching staff had the biggest headache for Twente, and the data collection and research of these lesser-known teams needed the most attention.
For a giant team like Inter Milan, it is best to collect information and research.
And, don't forget who the head coach of Inter Milan is, Fang Jue is very familiar with Benitez.
On 21 October, the 2010/2011 UEFA Champions League Group A match was played by defending champions Inter Milan at home against Aston Villa.
Players from both sides have already played and are lining up to shake hands with each other.
Inter Milan captain Zanetti and Aston Villa captain Deisler shook hands, and the two exchanged pleasantries.
The names of the visiting players were also being broadcast on the radio at the scene.
Inter Milan fans have had a relatively muted reaction to the names of most of the Aston Villa players, with the exception of two.
When Ronaldo's name was read out on the radio, there was some confusion, with some Inter fans applauding and others booing.
The camera also immediately gave Ronaldo a close-up, and the Brazilian had a solemn expression.
Subsequently, the camera gave a close-up in the stands, and the Inter fans used a banner to express their grievances against Ronaldo: "The real Inter people will not change their jerseys." ”
In the eyes of many Inter fans, May 5, 2002 is an eternal pain in their eyes.
Some people choose to hold on, others succeed in escaping, they think Ronaldo's best time was at Barcelona at Real Madrid, but not at Inter Milan, who always regarded him as God.
Fans' judgment of players is basically based on contributions. However, among Inter fans, what they remember most about Ronaldo is that he has been recovering from injuries.
Of course, injuries are inevitable and everyone understands that. However, Inter fans believe that Ronaldo's dedication cannot be equated with the club's dedication to him.
Take his first serious injury at Inter as an example, Moratti raised him like his own son, and his salary was not a lot, hoping that he would come back and lead the team to the top. As a result, he jumped ship to Real Madrid as soon as he recovered from his injury, and Ronaldo's transfer was quite controversial among Inter fans.
After winning the World Cup, Ronaldo himself won the top scorer, but he turned around and transferred.
However, to be honest, Ronaldo left Inter Milan and joined Real Madrid, in fact, the background is very complicated.
One of the important reasons why Ronaldo left Inter Milan that year was the conflict with coach Cooper.
How serious was the contradiction at that time? One of the two of them must go!
Coopa was one of the best coaches in football at the time.
Moratti was conflicted at the time, with the potential to lead Inter's resurgence on the one hand, and his godson Ronaldo on the other.
In the end, between the two men, Moratti had no choice but to stay with Cooper.
For Ronaldo himself, he feels that he has been injured too much in Serie A's strong defensive system, and he wants to change "feng shui" to La Liga, which focuses on technical flow, may be able to avoid the risk of injury.
Ronaldo's transfer fee of tens of millions of euros left to Inter Milan is the last reward he left to Inter.
This transfer that shocked the football world, which is right and wrong, outsiders can't say at all.
Of course, later Ronaldo left Real Madrid and did not choose to return to Inter Milan, but joined Inter Milan's city rival AC Milan, which is also considered to have broken the hearts of Inter Milan fans again.
The resentment that Inter Milan fans now have towards Ronaldo also shows how much they loved the Brazilian in the first place.
If Inter Milan fans' feelings for Ronaldo are mixed, some applaud and some boo him.
Well, when Shevchenko's name was broadcast live, the audience erupted in frantic and shrill boos.
The boos were not only directed at Shevchenko, who was hailed as the 'killer of Inter', but also because of the red and black years that Shevchenko represented.
During his seven years at AC Milan, Shevchenko was the Rossoneri's forward banner and one of the symbols of AC Milan, a hatred in the bones of both clubs, which will not fade with time or be erased by Shevchenko's change to Aston Villa's burgundy shirt.
Shevchenko in the camera looked very calm, and even had a hint of excitement, visiting Meacha again, listening to the boos of the Inter fans, he even had a deep nostalgic excitement.
This boo does not scare him, but rather makes him feel comfortable.
'Ronaldo and Shevchenko up front, and the two of them returned to the Meaza stadium as rivals, and this scene alone will become a classic image in the history of the Champions League.' He Wei said.
"One is the player that Inter Milan fans used to love the most, and the other is the player that Inter Milan fans hate the most." Zhang Lu shook his head and smiled, "These two veterans are in very good shape now, and this game is interesting." ”
……
"Let's take a look at the starting line-ups for both sides."
"On the Inter side, Milito continues to recuperate from injury, and Cambiaso, Pandev and Córdoba return to the bench."
'Rafael Benitez sent Samuel Eto'o as a lone arrow, Sneijder, Biabiani, Stankovic, Zanetti and Coutinho as the team.
'At the back there are Zivo, Samuel, Lucio and McConn, which was the best defence of last season in the Champions League.
"Inter Milan's goalkeeper was Cesar, the best goalkeeper in the Champions League last season."
'For Aston Villa, Ronaldo and Shevchenko are up front.
"Bale, Deisler, Ballack and Clement's four midfielders."
'At the back are Milner, Davies, Senderos and Cuellar.
"Aston Villa's goalkeeper is Roberto, the No. 2 national player in the German national team. Enke. ”
'Sadio Mane and Costa are on the bench.
"Both sides fielded the best line-ups they could."
"If the strength of the two teams is compared, if Villa can still fight with Inter Milan in midfield, in the backline, Aston Villa is obviously weaker than Inter Milan."
Before the start of the match, Fang Jue shook hands with Benitez.
"Can you please not always say I'm a winner." Benitez said to Fang Jue.
"That's a sincere compliment." Fang Jue blinked and said.
Benitez snorted, turned around and left, not that he suspected that Fang Jue was making fun of people, but every time Fang Jue said this, Benitez's team was a loser, which made Benitez have a conditioned reflex to feel bad.
Fang Jue has a certain confidence and expectation for the team to score points in the Meazza team, and even win away from home.
However, after the start of the game, he was depressed to find that the script was not in his hands.
In the second minute of the game, Inter Milan got off to a dream start.
Inter Milan's front court is exquisitely coordinated, Eto'o splits the side, and Inter Milan's veteran captain Zanetti, who appeared in the midfield position today, inserts a push and shoots into the far corner!
aaaaaaaaaaal! ”
"Javier. Zanetti! Our captain scored, 1-0, and Inter took the lead! ”
!
Fang Jue smacked his seat on the sidelines, this start was too bad.
What he didn't expect, though, was that worse was yet to come.
Just five minutes later.
Sneijder, the best midfielder in the Champions League last season, picked up the ball in midfield and delivered an impressive long diagonal stop.
The incredibly fast Biabiani successfully countered offside and slotted into the Aston Villa penalty area.
In the box, Aston Villa goalkeeper Roberto. Nke pounced on the ball at Biabiani's feet, sending Biabiani to the ground.
Referee Skomeina's whistle blew and he pointed to the penalty spot and awarded a penalty.
Then, everyone saw, Scomina pulled out a card from his pocket, the red one!
"Penalty, Scomina sent off Enke with a red card and blew for a penalty, only seven minutes into the game, Aston Villa fell behind 0-1, the goalkeeper was sent off again, and a penalty was blown, and Villa suffered the worst start!" He Wei said loudly.
! !! !!
Fang Jue almost ran out on the sidelines, he yelled angrily, wanting to vent his frustration, but in the end he didn't know who to target with this fire, and finally helplessly wrapped his hands around and looked at the field coldly.
There was nothing to say about this penalty.
Nke went out to save the ball, but instead of the football, he pounced on Biabiani.
There was no problem with the penalty and the red card, which made him even more depressed.
It was only seven minutes into the game, the score was behind, and he was whistled for a penalty, and the goalkeeper was sent off, and Fang Jue had never encountered such a bad situation in his entire coaching career.
Worst of all, they are still up against defending champions and mighty Inter Milan.
Fang Jue was so angry that the old American goalkeeper Friedel on the bench quickly got up to warm up, and he himself stood on the sidelines with a gloomy face and thought, such a bad situation, he must use the shortest time to find a strategy to deal with it.
