Chapter 760: The Grievances of the Giants, the 207th National Derby

"Go investigate and see if that guy is really recovered?" Juventus coach Ranieri's old face trembled, he really cares about Dong Fangzhuo, the media have reported that Dong Fangzhuo has returned to the training ground, that must be not wrong, I just don't know if Dong Fangzhuo will join the team's joint training, if not, it means that his injury has not yet recovered, if there is, then it means that Dong Fangzhuo may really play......

Ranieri looked at Mourinho and got angry, just in time to take advantage of Dong Fangzhuo's absence, to repair Inter Milan in Meazza, who knew that the plot could develop like this?

The feud between Ranieri and Mourinho stems from the fact that four years ago, Russian billionaire Abramovich was dissatisfied with Ranieri's achievements under Chelsea, and invited Mourinho to replace Ranieri with a high salary. Jose Mourinho led the team to the Premier League title in his first season in charge of Chelsea, but Ranieri did not think Mourinho was very clever, he thought he had an excellent season, Chelsea basically did not spend much money, and then Mourinho came to Stamford Bridge, and also received strong financial support from Abou.

With Jose Mourinho at the helm of Chelsea, Abou has invested hundreds of millions of euros in the transfer market, and Mourinho's annual salary is much higher than that of his predecessor Claudio Ranieri. A few years later, the two coaches met again in Italy, and the media has been trying to stir up a feud between the two, and Mourinho also hit back with a very famous sentence against Ranieri - my annual salary is 12 million euros, and Ranieri's annual salary is less than 2 million euros.

Ranieri could only say that he was not jealous of Mourinho, saying: "Everyone's salary is what he deserves, it doesn't matter how much he earns, I don't value money." ”

But if he can lead Juventus to win away to Inter Milan tomorrow, Ranieri will naturally be able to take a bad breath......

Originally, it had nothing to do with Dong Fangzhuo's national derby, but Dong Fangzhuo's sudden appearance became full of expectations.

Stars are always the theme of derby battles, not long ago in the Milan derby, it was the cooperation of the two Golden Ball gentlemen Dong Fangzhuo and Ronaldinho that determined the outcome of the game, the upcoming Italian derby, who will be the arbiter of the game?

Italian national team coach Lippi made it clear: "I am very happy that the Chinese Dong has made an early comeback, I think the Chinese Dong and Piero are the leaders of the national derby, and their performance will affect the trend of the game." The score will be 1:1, with Dong and Piero scoring one goal each. ”

"Inter Milan's number one star right now is undoubtedly Dong. Although he was injured a while ago and his fitness may have declined, I don't think there will be much of an upturn in his form, and if you look at his years in England, he has hardly had a time when he was in bad form, on the contrary, I think that after a few games of rest, it will help China Dong to win again in the derby at the weekend. ”

However, as soon as Lippi changed his words, he talked about Pierrot.

"Compared to the uncertain Dong, Piero is at his best. Piero has had world-class performances in the previous two games against Real Madrid, and Piero's assist in the big win over Genoa in the last round also played a crucial role, and the Bianconeri seem to be rejuvenating the Nth spring of his career. At the moment, Piero is the core and spiritual leader of Juventus. ”

"I've always watched Pierrot grow up and age, and I know him best."

Piero has also had a good run of results against Inter Milan. Since joining Juventus, Piero has breached the Nerazzurri eight times, unmatched by Juventus' current players. The most famous goal was the penalty kick at the Stadio Alp in 1997/98, which led to Juventus' retribution against Inter and the eventual crown, and the controversy caused by the goal continued for almost a decade.

Controversy is a thing of the past, but the important thing is now. Five of Piero's seven goals this season have come from free-kicks, and his set-piece footwork is becoming a lethal weapon. Inter Milan goalkeeper Cesar's only weakness may be that he is not solid enough to defend set-pieces, which could be the winner of the game.

The president of Inter Milan also came out to join in the fun: "If I could pick a player from Juventus to Inter Milan, it would be Piero. I really didn't expect him to be in such good shape, after all, he is 34 years old. But luckily, we already have people who are indispensable. ”

As the name suggests, it is Dong Fangzhuo.

It's just that now Inter Milan's last four games are three draws and one loss, he doesn't have arrogant capital, it's better to keep a low profile, Moratti simply praises the opponent.

Although Dong Fangzhuo returned to the training ground, Mourinho was still skeptical, and he immediately called the team doctor to give Dong Fangzhuo a full body examination, and the results of the examination said that Dong Fangzhuo was indeed almost recovered, at least in line with the requirements for participating in the game, so there was nothing to worry about.

"Dong, you're such a monster." Mourinho smiled, it seemed that for most of the month, he had never been so relaxed. The lack of Dong Fangzhuo's game has indeed made it difficult for Inter Milan, and now that Dong Fangzhuo is finally back, he will definitely let Dong Fangzhuo start.

But on the day of the match, Ranieri suddenly fired again.

"Don't think about it, Dong will definitely start, this is Mourinho's lifeline, he has no choice, and even if he loses the game, he has an excuse, if Inter Milan loses the game, he will say after the game, look, it's not a problem of one person, it's the problem of the whole team, Dong also lost the game on the field, Dong became a scapegoat instead......"

Jose Mourinho is annoyed, anyway, as long as Inter Milan can't win the game, you all have a point! Mourinho will not be as low-key as the chairman, Mr. Moratti, and he immediately fought back.

"Dong will be in the squad like other healthy players, so there is no need to speculate, I fully fulfill Agnelli's wishes."

'I understand what Ranieri is thinking at the moment, but his wish will not come true and I will still talk to him. This weekend, Inter are playing at home and I will wait for Ranieri in the tunnel and hug and shake hands with him like any other coach. ”

'But my team is always the strongest, in Portugal I coached Reria, even against Benfica and Porto, we were better. Now I'm the manager of Inter, what do you want me to say? My team is always the best and the players are the best, so they can definitely play their best. After Inter Milan's low ebb, this game will bottom out. ”

Whenever he encounters a strong opponent, Inter coach Jose Mourinho will always provoke a war of words in advance before the game. Now in Serie A, the relationship between the Portuguese and the Italian media is becoming more and more stiff, and they are not polite to their peers.

The Italian derby has been a long-awaited affair for many Serie A fans, as it is the first real head-to-head clash between the two since the "phonegate scandal". Although Juventus returned last season, the whole team is still in a state of reconstruction, and it is difficult to compete with Inter Milan to match the current momentum. After a third of the league games, Inter Milan and Juventus are tied for first place with 8 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss, with 27 points.

"Oops, time flies so fast, 10 years have passed in the blink of an eye."

"There are so many stories about Juventus and Inter Milan, but the one I remember the most is the 1998 game that decided the championship."

"In the penultimate round of the 1997-1998 season, the title race between Juventus and Inter Milan has entered a white-hot stage, and the leader Juventus is only one point ahead of Inter Milan. Juventus took the lead early, but then the referee's decision became the focus of attention. Ronaldo, who was still dancing lightly, burst into the penalty area and was brought down by Iuliano, but the referee did not react. Juventus were awarded a penalty after that, but Piero failed to convert the ball. The final score was Juventus beating Inter Milan 1-0, but Inter fans were very unhappy with the referee's decision, saying that Juventus' final title was stolen......"

Huang Jianxiang's thoughts drifted far, far away, back to ten years ago.

"But thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, now Inter Milan's life is much better than Juventus, and there are no thirty years, only ten years......"

"From Ronaldo to Vieri, to Adriano, today finally ushered in Dong Fangzhuo, I didn't expect that one day, Chinese players will also be able to dominate the Italian national derby."

Dong Fangzhuo has confirmed to start in this game, Mourinho still uses the 4312 formation, Dong Fangzhuo is still standing in front of Adriano and Balotelli, and the real lineup is exactly the same as playing Manchester United at home. At the back were McConn, Materazzi, Samuel and Maxwell, in midfield were Zanetti, Cambiasso and Stankovic, and in goalkeeper Cesar. ”

"Juventus, goalkeeper Manninger; The defenders were Griguera, Chiellini, Lerotalje, Molinaro; The midfielders are Marchioni, Sissoko, Thiago, Nedved; The forwards are Amaury, Piero. This is not the strongest Juventus in history, but this year, it is already the strongest. ”

"In terms of starting line-up alone, Juventus is still a little worse than Inter Milan, and if you compare the bench, then Inter Milan players are even more incredible, but the game is not a bare wheel player fame to win the game."

However, Juventus have a clear advantage in the all-time meetings with Inter. In 177 league derbies, including the predecessor of Serie A, Juve won 79, drew 44 and lost 54. If you start counting from the official establishment of the Serie A season in 1929/30, Juve still suppressed Inter Milan with 72 wins, 39 draws and 43 defeats. Especially since the 1993/94 season, the two sides have met in Serie A nearly 30 times, and Inter Milan has only won 4 games, but lost 13 games, completely suppressed by Juventus. Inter's last league win was in April 2005. ”

"This is the 207th Italian national derby in the history of both teams!"
