Volume 6 Crimson Chapter 119 Jose and Tony
Milan, Italy, is a city famous all over the world for its fashion. But in the minds of football fans, the city has nothing to do with fashion, and there is only one reason why the city's name can spread all over the world - football.
The word "derby" was first used in horse racing, but it was football that spread it all over the world. There are many classic derbies in world football, but none of them are more eye-catching than the city derby.
In Spain, the "national derby" between Real Madrid and Barcelona may be star-studded, but in the minds of players and fans, the real derby is the Madrid derby between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, and the Barcelona derby between Barcelona and Espanyol. The city derby is always the most eye-catching game, such as the "old brand" in Glasgow, Scotland, which is probably the most competitive city derby in the world.
It is not an exaggeration to say that "derby created football". If it weren't for a football like Derby, which is dominated by antagonistic and hateful sentiments, it wouldn't have developed where it is today – and that sentiment is like a catalyst.
Milan in Italy is also such a city derby city, and the fame of Milan and Inter Milan has long spread all over the world with their respective brilliant results.
AC Milan has the Three Musketeers era, Inter Milan has the Big International era. Neither side is weaker than the other, and sometimes the east wind overpowers the west wind, and sometimes the west wind overpowers the east wind. The war of words between the fans of both sides, Tang En, has long been tired of watching when he was still a Chinese.
In fact, there is a possibility that no matter how hostile the fans of the two teams in the city may be, at least when they face Nottingham Forest, they may be in the same position.
Because both teams have had the hard lesson of being beaten by Nottingham Forest in important matches. AC Milan fans have been hurt even more, not only have Donn repeatedly verbally spoken out against their Rossoneri and had a terrible personal relationship with Carlo Ancelotti, but they also beat AC Milan on the night of the 2007 UEFA Champions League final in Athens to reach the final for the second season in a row and come home empty-handed.
The feud between Inter Milan and Nottingham Forest was limited to the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League in 05-06, when Nottingham Forest eliminated Inter Milan and reached the final, but unfortunately lost to Barcelona. It was just an ordinary game, and it didn't involve too many grudges. And then Inter Milan eliminated Nottingham Forest, from the point of view of Inter Milan fans, it was just an equally ordinary game, the better side won, it was as simple as that.
It's a pity that they are all wrong, who let Nottingham Forest have a mad dog? Some media in England once said this about Tony. Donne's surname - "He is the kind of person who must lean down and bite back like a dog if he is bitten by a dog".
Tony. Don and Mourinho have had old grievances when they were in the Premier League, and now that Mourinho has arrived at Inter Milan, the old grievances between the two sides have naturally been passed on to Inter Milan. What's more, Inter Milan once slaughtered Nottingham Forest? The personal grievances and the stumbling blocks of the team have all been mixed together...... There's Tony. Don is here, can you not mix it up? He's the best at blending.
Now, Inter Milan will have the privilege of continuing their feud with Nottingham Forest until ...... One day Tony. Done has left Nottingham Forest as head coach.
"I think this kind of thing is incomprehensible and incomprehensible." and Pierce. The intern reporter who came with Bruce frowned and disagreed. "If Nottingham Forest accidentally loses again, it makes sense for the two teams to continue to entangle. But what if Nottingham Forest win? Is Inter Milan unrelenting? Even if Mourinho is that kind of person, Moratti is not a chairman who likes to provoke trouble with his opponents, and he will definitely strictly control Mourinho's mouth in this regard. In fact, when it comes to Italy, Mourinho is much more restrained than in England......"
Bruce laughed and shook his head, "You really don't understand, because you don't really understand Tony at all." What kind of person is Donn. If he loses, he will naturally be furious, but if he wins......" he smiled, "he will definitely humiliate Inter Milan at the press conference and show off." Dress yourself up as the kind of person who wants to pounce on him when others see him and beat him up. ”
His partner really couldn't figure this out. "But why did he do that? Is it any good for him to offend so many people? ”
"You can understand that his surname is the reason for it, or you can understand that he is playing psychological warfare with his opponent."
When Pierce. When Bruce said this sentence with a deep face, the intern reporter was immediately impressed by Bruce: "It's really worthy of being a reporter who has been with Don for so many years." Mr. Bruce, you have a good deal with Tony. Don really understands! ”
Bruce shrugged his shoulders and laughed a little self-deprecatingly, "When you thought you knew Tony well. Don, you must be wrong again. I don't think even he knows himself......"
The two of them stopped talking about this unnutritious and unpleasant topic, and looked at Inter Milan manager Jose Mourinho, who walked to the interview table and took his seat.
Having just finished interviewing Donne, reporters flocked to hear what Mourinho would say about his opponents, and the efficiency of this group was really fast.
"Just ask any questions, gentlemen." Mourinho, who had just come down from training, was still wearing an Inter sports jacket, which made his figure look a little bloated, maybe he was doing well in Italy. He crossed his legs in a chair and chose the most comfortable position for himself to face the reporter.
"Tony. Donn has just commented that Nottingham Forest came to Milan to seek revenge, what do you think about this, Mr Mourinho? The first reporter to ask the question was the reporter of the newspaper Sport.
"Only losers think about revenge. I don't care about this because I'm not a loser. Mourinho grinned. He seemed to have an angry Tony in his head. What should Done look like...... That must be impressive.
The taste of-for-tat came out of the first question, which made the reporters present secretly happy. When Jose Mourinho and Toney. When Don meets, don't ever waste precious time at a press conference asking questions about tactical staffing, that will only lead to the excitement slipping away.
Jose Mourinho was clearly proud of his past in leading his side to a 5-0 thrashing of Nottingham Forest, smiling as he looked at the reporters and waited for a second question.
The next one to stand up stirred his mood.
Pierce. Bruce raised his hand and asked, "Mr. Mourinho, Tony." Donn asked me to bring you a message. ”
Mourinho snorted with his nose and did not stop the journalist from speaking.
"He said - you can't win Tony. Donn is here again. Do you have any thoughts on this? ”
One of the reporters burst out laughing, and Mourinho's face turned a little ugly.
"I don't care about boring records, I'd rather care about winning championships than I can't win anyone."
If Donn was around, he would have been the first to say: "I won't win any fewer titles than you, Mr. Mourinho." ”
Unfortunately, it didn't, so Mourinho could continue without being disturbed: "I never take the initiative to talk about who I am undefeated against, it's very disrespectful......
If Donn is around: "That's because you haven't had such a result." ”
"Some people only see the past, but what I care about is the future, the game in two days......"
If Don is around: "I'm going to win against you in two days' time, so that this 'thing in the past' continues." ”
If Don is on the side...... It is estimated that the two of them have already pounced together for a live PK.
Mourinho didn't want to answer Bruce's question anymore because he finally recognized who the man in front of him was. is a reporter for the Nottingham Evening Post, known as "Tony." Donne's mouthpiece", became famous for reporting on Donn, and he always wore a pair of pants with Don for Tony. Donn spoke. It is said that Don once asked this person not to write a bad word about him, which shows how far Tang En has read the dictatorship of the talent, and even interferes with the freedom of the press...... The crimes he has committed are simply too numerous to mention!
"Can you talk about your relationship with Mr. Donn? After you were sacked by Chelsea Football Club, Donn used to insult Mr Abramovich in an interview with the TV media......" the ESPN reporter asked.
"I have to correct your mistake. It wasn't that I was sacked by Chelsea FC, it was that I resigned voluntarily and it was an amicable breakup. Mourinho emphasized, holding up his index finger. As for my relationship with Donne......" Mourinho paused at this point, as if he was really thinking seriously about what kind of relationship he had with Donne. "Definitely not friends anyway."
He didn't even say, "We are enemies." "It's amazing.
Mourinho didn't give the reporters a chance to keep asking questions, he was tired of asking "Tony" when he saw him. How's Don going, what's going on", making it seem like he's having a leg with that guy. How is he, you go and ask him himself, come and ask me what I am!
"If you don't care about how Inter prepares, I think that's the end of the press conference." Mourinho got up and left, without giving any of the reporters present time to react, and disappeared into the stunned eyes of everyone.
Although Mourinho walked away, the reporters present did not show surprise and anger, but excitedly discussed the press conference that had just ended.
The intern reporter was obviously in such a situation for the first time, and he was a little dumbfounded. Pierce. Bruce said to him with a calm expression: "Who would ask him how Inter Milan prepares? That's how there is news. Let's go, go back to the manuscript. ”
※※※
When Donn led the team to Meazza to acclimatize to the venue, he met an old friend. This time it's a real old friend, no quotes.
The person who came to see him specifically was the former captain of Nottingham Forest, the retired Italian Demitrio. Albertini.
In addition to catching up with old friends like Donn, he is also here to cheer up the Forest.
"Of course I'm going to cheer you on, I'm a Milan fan." Albertini, who hadn't seen him for a long time, smiled heartily.
Now that he is the vice president of the Italian Football Federation, he is considered a high-ranking official, and the appearance of his suit and leather shoes is very different from when he was a player.
Albertini came to the pitch in the middle of training, and Donn called George off from the training ground. Wood.
Seeing the young juniors who had been pinned on by him again, Albertini did not hug him very affectionately, but stared at Wood with a smile on his face and looked at him for a while.
"You've got seven assists so far this season, George, right?"
Wood nodded. When he saw his teacher, he didn't know what to say - he wasn't the kind of person who was very good at expressing his inner feelings, and taking the initiative to embrace such a sensual thing and asking him to do it would kill him.
"Well done, George. But keep trying. It was Albertini's insistence that Wood's offensive talent led Donn to focus on training him in the first place. Now Donn benefits with Forest.
There is a bit of a fatalistic smack of life in it when it comes to the away game against Inter Milan when Wood suddenly sends a beautiful through ball that Albertini ghostly appears on the path of the ball, scores after receiving the ball, helps the team to draw the home team, and also gets two valuable away goals.
It was the first time Wood's offensive talent had been revealed, and he was spotted by Albertini.
"You're not a natural leader, George. But you're doing a good job as captain of Nottingham Forest. Tell me, do you usually talk a lot in the locker room? ”
"Not too much." Wood shook his head.
"And how do you lead your teammates?"
Don helped him answer, "Action." He leads the team with action. He never speaks nonsense, and his actions are more powerful than any words. ”
The hardest on the training ground, the first to come and the last to go, the most active in running on the competition field, never give up, always full of fighting spirit and passion. It seems that football is regarded as life, and it is difficult for such a person to disobey the public.
Albertini nodded approvingly, "That's your style, George." ”
Wood disagreed: "But I don't help as well as you with the new players. "Aaron. When Mitchel joined the first team, Wood welcomed him as captain with a somewhat overly serious look on his face. For this reason, he has been haunted until now.
Albertini glanced at Donn, turned his face to Wood and smiled: "Nottingham Forest is a very good atmosphere, there are some things that you don't need to take care of, someone else can do it. Freddie and Bell are both warm-hearted people. You don't want to take everything on yourself. Just like you are on the field, trust your teammates and you will gain more. ”
Wood nodded to listen to the teachings, and every word Albertini said was a valuable experience for him.
Don didn't let the two talk for too long, after all, the team was still training. As captain, Wood is even less qualified to engage in privileges.
Looking at Wood's back running back onto the field, Albertini sighed: "What a good player. It's a pity he didn't come to Milan last summer. ”
Donn smiled: "As long as I'm at Nottingham Forest for a day, he won't leave the City Stadium." ”
When it comes to Donne's work, Albertini has to care about his body.
"It's fine, it's working fine now." Don gently patted his left chest, which contained a pacemaker, so he couldn't beat it hard. "I'm lucky that I didn't die the first time, and I won't die in the future." Now when it comes to life and death, Don En is already very calm. People who have died once have a different ideological consciousness.
Albertini laughed: "I said I would invite you to have a drink after the game." Later, I remembered that you had quit a long time ago, and I could have saved money. ”
Don winked slyly, "You can exchange it for cash for me, Demi." ”
The two laughed together. It's like going back to the good old days when we worked together.
Albertini shook Donne's hand as he said goodbye: "When we were together, we didn't lose to Mourinho, right, boss?" ”
He suddenly called that, but it didn't surprise Donn, he smiled, "That's right, I've never lost." ”
The two of them didn't say anything more, they only felt the strength of the hand they were holding.
