Chapter 821: Learn to defend to survive
There's nothing happier than winning away from home, and in front of 100,000 Camp Nou fans, Dong Fangzhuo walked off the pitch straight, leaving Barcelona with another humiliation.
The many pre-match war of words also became meaningless.
"It turns out that we are the strongest in Europe."
In the mixed area, Dong Fangzhuo almost grabbed the microphone of the reporter to say this.
"A lot of people think we won last season by luck and how stupid it is to say that we played against second-rate opponents before we reached the final. Could it be that today we have won another second-rate opponent? ”
Keep a low profile before the game, and you have to be high-profile after the game. The underlying meaning of his sentence is to say, is Barcelona, which is expensive as the Cosmos team, also a second-rate team?
If so, then there is nothing to say......
At the press conference after the game, only Mourinho attended with a spring breeze, which was naturally similar to Dong Fangzhuo's rhetoric.
'It was a good game, we defended our honour, I'm immensely proud of the players on the pitch, for 90 minutes we didn't give the opposition a chance, we were ahead, we were ahead until the end of the game, that's what I needed Inter.
"The combination of Wesley and Dong is fantastic, I have never seen two players in the world who have such a tacit understanding, until today."
Mourinho gave praise to Sneijder and Mourinho.
"Real Madrid have Cristiano Ronaldo and Kaka,"
"Barcelona have Messi, Xavi, Iniesta, Eto'o, Ibrahimovic and Thierry Henry,"
'Chelsea have Arjen Robben, Drogba,'
"And we have Wesley and Dong."
"And they're the strongest."
"So Inter Milan is the strongest!"
"Now, we can go back and prepare for the Milan derby."

Guardiola held his right cheek with his right hand at the press conference, and his bare head seemed to be more likely to steal the camera than his face.
'We made a lot of mistakes, we had the advantage at the start of the game but didn't convert it into goals, and in defence we couldn't keep up with the rhythm of the opposition, so it was a bit painful for us and the result was disappointing.
"Everybody was angry, I know that. We need to pick ourselves up, take stock of what is going on, and start with ourselves. There is still a lot to work out and we will work harder from tomorrow. ”
"Of course, we are not out of contention, we still have a lot of games to play. We haven't deviated from the goals we set at the start of the season and now all we have to do is play well in every game and prepare for the Champions League one game at a time. ”
Captain Puyol stepped up to help share the pressure: "We are not happy with the result, this defeat has made us realise that there is a serious problem. It's a tough time and we're going to stick together, work hard and focus on every game we have this season. We all have a responsibility, not just coaches, to learn from our failures and turn things around as soon as possible. We know the fans are frustrated at the moment, morale is important and we know how they are feeling right now. I've never been satisfied with winning championships, and I'm just as hungry to win them all the time. Every year is a new beginning, and it's certainly easy to say something when things aren't going well. We don't blame others, we analyse our mistakes so that we can play better in the Champions League. ”
Barcelona President Joan Laporta also came out for public relations and was interviewed by the Spanish media. He began by congratulating Inter: "Our opponents played a fantastic game and I want to congratulate them, from their point of view they really did something of great value. However, it was a bad night for us. ”
Laporta then commented on Real Madrid's performance: "We didn't play well this night and we don't want that to happen. We had chances to equalise and it was in our favour but the opposition was good. The team has done its best. I want to say sorry to the fans, you have always loved Barcelona and supported us, but this time you were disappointed. That's what sports are. ”
Barcelona president Joan Laporta's "again" is the point, if Barcelona is only the first time to lose to Inter Milan, it is understandable, after all, which team has not lost a game? The key is that they first lost the Champions League final last season, and then lost the group stage this season, and Barcelona was ravaged and never won.
So Cruyff, the godfather of Barcelona, did not agree with Laporta's views, and he ruthlessly criticized in his column: "Barcelona have lost again. ”
"But now I'm shocked to know because everybody doesn't realise how we lost the game."
"In my eyes, this Barcelona team should be the strongest Barcelona in history, but why is it difficult to win the glory? Could it be that they can't beat Inter Milan, the players are not good enough, and the technical and tactical play is backward? No, no, no, none of these are the causes. The real reason is our attitude and mentality, but also the spirit of the team! ”
Cruyff likes to pour cold water on him, using his usual unexpected point of view to elaborate: "We don't see the real desire to win, we can't see the belief in winning, we don't have the spirit of fighting, and we don't have a really strong team, everyone seems to have their own thoughts." ”
Then he unceremoniously named the individual.
"Xiao Luo is gone, this should be Messi's team, but Messi didn't show a dominant performance, he only thinks about solving the problem by himself, thinking about next year's Ballon d'Or, so he can't see his teammates at all in this game. Think about it, if the core of the team can't see the existence of his teammates at all, then how can this team win, and how can his teammates help him win the Ballon d'Or? ”
"I don't see Barcelona, I see more like Argentina."
Cruyff even mocked a discouraged Argentina, as we all know, Argentina's squad over the years can be called the most luxurious in the world, but the results are not good, and the performance is miserable when it comes to key games, and Messi has become the core of the national team at this time......
"The ace is like this, the other important players are also calculating, although the Swedes and the French work well together, they are almost separated from Messi's side, it's like there are two Barcelona teams playing at the same time......"
"How can such a team win the Spanish derby at the weekend?"
※※※※
"In Europe, you still have to watch Real Madrid!" The text of the newspaper "As" is full of cynicism, "Barcelona once again set a humiliating record in the Champions League, they thought it was really the Cosmos team, able to beat all the teams in the world, but they were humiliated by Inter Milan in a row." Only Real Madrid has Champions League genes. And in the Spanish derby at the weekend, Real Madrid also saw hope of beating Barcelona. ”
"Marca" also bluntly said, "Real Madrid can completely copy the model of Inter Milan and rely on the play of Ronaldo and Kaka to beat Barcelona, as long as the skills, tactics and spirit can be the same as Inter Milan, but is there a lack of a coach like Mourinho?" ”
Italy's Sport Roma newspaper is starting to build momentum for the Milan derby over the weekend.
"What's next, Milan?"
"After the bloody massacre of Barcelona, Inter Milan are back on the domestic stage, they have defended the glory of Serie A in Europe, and at home they have proved that they are the bosses of Italy, and the Milan derby has been bloody again."
And "Milan Sport" gave AC Milan new coach Leonardo more advice, "In the face of such a strong Inter Milan, Leonardo should think about how to defend, instead of thinking about attacking." Otherwise, you may die a miserable death......"
"Learn to defend to survive." Torino Sport also thinks so......
