The first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals beat Schalke 04 1-0 at home, and Inter Milan won very hard, and if it weren't for Diego Milito's last-minute header, Inter Milan's winning streak after the winter break would have ended at Temple Meazza. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

What is more worrying than the final score is the state shown by the players in the game, the Nerazzurri are flesh and blood after all, the long season journey has reached the end, and the repeated vicious battles have made them feel physically and mentally exhausted, in the Schalke 04 game, [Nerazzurri] did not show the kind of suppressive momentum in the previous games, the whole game can only be regarded as evenly matched with the opponent, about the same, the most red goal, can only be regarded as lucky.

Inter Milan is not a special case.

The five top leagues of Europa have entered April, but all the giants with the hope of winning the championship, no matter how strong the bench thickness is, at this time all are the end of the strong crossbow, the long season, the competition is perseverance and spirit, and every final champion has gone through the test of blood and fire before it was finally born.

This is where the value and charm of the championship trophy lies.

After the game, "Milan Sport" commented worriedly in a related report: "At the end of the season, they still maintain the ability to compete for the title in the league, the Champions League and the Coppa Italia, which is something that Inter Milan can be proud of, but it is also something they must be careful about, the tight schedule of two games a week is likely to make them a tired team, and rivals AC Milan have said goodbye to the Champions Cup, they are 2 points ahead of the team of the madman Lee, relatively speaking, it is much more calm......"

Milano Sport's fears are justified.

On the third day after beating Schalke 04 1-0, Inter Milan didn't have time to catch their breath before the 32nd round of Serie A officially kicked off.

The match between AC Milan and Inter Milan started at the same time.

AC Milan is away from the strong opponent [Purple Lily] Fiorentina, while Inter Milan is at home to Meaza to face the Serie A relegation team Chievo, originally many people saw this round of matches as a great opportunity for the [Nerazzurri] to overtake AC Milan to return to the first place in the Serie A standings, after all, Allegri's opponent is much stronger than the opponent of the madman Lee.

However, Inter did not take the chance.

At the end of the 90 minutes, AC Milan relied on the [Brazilian Golden Boy] Pato and the [Prince of Bicycles] Robinho both scored two goals at the Arena Franci Stadium to sweep the [Purple Lily] 4:1, while Inter Milan fought hard at home, and finally relied on Diego Milito's goal to defeat the weak team Chievo.

After 32 rounds, the gap between Milan and Milan in the standings remains at 2 points.

This result disappointed many Inter supporters for a while, but they quickly threw their negative emotions on the island of Java, what is there to worry about, you must know that the man standing in front of the team's command to fight for the team is called Crazy Lee, what is there that [God on the sidelines of the football field] can't do? When did he fail his supporters? What's more, in the more weighty Champions League, the arch-rival AC Milan has been eliminated, and we still maintain our hopes of reaching the final!

April 13th.

Inter Milan flew to Germany.

Since Schalke 04 does not have an international airport in Gelsenkirchen, the team had to travel to Dortmund first, landing at Dortmund Airport, which is closer to Gelsenkirchen, and then taking the train to Gelsenkirchen.

Tossing all the way, when I came to the hotel I had booked before, it was already evening, and it was impossible to go to Schalke 04's home stadium of Fertings Arena to adapt to the playing venue in advance.

With a two-game week during this period, coupled with the travel and physical throwing of the hammers, assistant coach Batistuta was worried and full of worries about the upcoming game.

"Hey, Gabriel, if you keep frowning like this, you'll soon be abandoned by the female fans who are obsessed with you, because you get old too fast!" Seeing that the players had obediently returned to their rooms to rest, Li Tongfan smiled and patted Batistuta on the shoulder and suggested: "Why don't we go out and see the night view of Gelsenkirchen?" You must know that this is the famous [City of a Thousand Suns] in Europe...... Let's go, let's go! ”

Without waiting for Batistuta to refuse, Li Tongfan packed up his equipment, buckled a deep-brimmed baseball cap on the head of [God of War], and pulled it out of the hotel.

In an instant, the tranquil environment of the hotel lobby with soothing music changed, and a kind of noise and exuberance greeted you.

Gelsenkirchen in the night has its own unique taste, like a woman who has been washed away after the wind and snow, revealing the temperament and grace that only she has.

In 1840, when the probe of the test drilling first found the coal mine, Gelsenkirchen was only a village with less than 600 named households, but the discovery of 'black gold' made the village grow explosively, and at the peak of the coal mining industry, there were more than 60 coal mines operating at the same time, and the blast furnaces, coke ovens and steel mills lined up one after another, giving this industrial city a beautiful nickname - "City of a Thousand Fires", that is, the city because of steelmaking. Thousands of flames burn every day and every night.

At that time, a large number of farmers and workers came here to make a living, and Gelsenkirchen became the most important industrial and mining energy city in Germany, but the fireworks could not last, and with the import of cheap coal and the adoption of environmentally friendly energy, the coal enterprises in Gelsenkirchen quickly closed down like leeks that had been cut, and a large number of workers lost their jobs...... During these difficult years, it was football that sustained the lives of the city's miners.

"Whether I turn into iron filings or white, I'm going to Schalke......"

This song, which gave hope to a generation at the time, is still sung in Gelsenkirchen today, and when the mining industry can no longer be the life and identity of the city, football becomes especially important for people's common feelings, and for the citizens of the city, Schalke is not only limited to football, but also a football association, but a concept of life.

Walking through an unknown street in Gelsenkirchen, you can see signs related to football and Schalke 04 everywhere, and the photos of the team's coach Magath, the team's number one star [Lord of the Rings] Raul, goalkeeper Neuer, and striker Farfan appeared on the advertising space of the ground floor shop of a glass building more than 50 stories high, accompanied by the German propaganda slogan - "Defeat the madman Lee, we can do it!" ”

Click, click!

The shutter of Sony's SLR camera made a crisp sound again and again, and Batistuta was unlucky enough to become Li Tongfan's body-worn videographer, constantly recording the pose posed by the muffled man in the midst of a silver laugh...... "Li, I remember that you didn't like photography so much before......" Batistuta pressed the shutter with a wry smile, and fixed a two-handed V-shaped scratching pose posed by Lao Li on the film: "And today is taken by someone, stumbling you are obsessed with modeling?" ”

"Gabriel, you didn't gossip like that before!" Li Tongfan rolled his eyes, and by the way, he leaned on a bronze statue of a coal miner in the shape of a coal miner behind him, posed an idiot pose, and the flash was shining, before continuing: "My son is about to be born, and I have decided to record all the places I have visited with photos from now on, so that I can tell him about my father's heroic past every day......"

“ok！ That's a great explanation, Lee, you'd be a good father! The two men wore sunglasses and baseball caps, and they were photographed all the way, and the road was full of pedestrians, but no one recognized that these two leisurely tourists on the street would be the mortal enemies of the whole city.

When passing by a bar, several German men wearing Schalke 04 imperial blue team uniforms came out of it, covered in alcohol, some people were still carrying wine bottles in their hands, and they were noisily waiting for taxis at the door of the bar...... "If you go to Aufschalke tomorrow to watch the game, you must boo the damn guy of the madman Lee......"

"Let's go back and make a slogan that stands out, what does it say?"

"Why don't you write 'Go back to your mother's belly and eat shit, madman Li ......', what do you think?"

"Oh woo, Scharf, this issue of yours is so fucking shit, Crazy Lee is super handsome, such a provocation won't do anything at all......"

"yes, it's a shame, if it weren't for the fact that he came with the Italian mongrels from Inter Milan, I would have liked to ask for his autograph then. You know, I've been a fan of him since three years ago......"

A few drunks chattered.

Li Tongfan rolled his eyes, walked straight to the drunks, and said a few words in German - after having enough [character points], Lao Li had already learned several mainstream football languages such as German, Portuguese, and Dutch through the FM system, so there was no problem communicating with this group of drunks at all.

Batistuta looked at Li Tongfan, who was talking and laughing with the drunks, a little worried, for fear that the drunks would recognize the person in front of him as the life-and-death enemy of Ming Shalk 04, and gave Lao Li a turn on the spot.

Who knew that a few people actually talked very happily, I don't know what Li Tongfan said, the drunks laughed, one of them was a strong man with a height of one meter and nine meters and was like [Terminator] Schwarzenegger, and he hooked up with Li Tongfan like an old friend and laughed...... Batistuta was dumbfounded.

"Hey, Gabriel, come and take a picture of us!" Li Tongfan waved in the distance and greeted loudly in English.

Click!

The shutter sounded, and a meaningful photo was frozen in the night in Gelsenkirchen, and what made Batistuta fly out of the sky was that at the moment of the photo, Lee Tong-beom actually took off his baseball cap and sunglasses...... Before advancing to the battle of life and death, a group of fanatical Schalke 04 fans laughed and took a photo with the opponent's coach Maniac Lee in front of a football-themed bar flashing the logo of the Imperial Blue team...... Batistuta felt that his head was running out.

"Hi Rice Bucket, remember your promise and come to the Afschalke Stadium tomorrow to watch the game......"

"You're a funny guy, you can sit among us when the time comes......"

"Rice bucket, when the time comes, we will let you feel the enthusiasm of the Schalke fans, and we can treat you to a drink after the game, haha......"

The drunks waved their hands, and the taxis departed.

"Ha, this is a group of enthusiastic guys......" Li Tongfan put on his baseball cap and sunglasses in a hurry, and turned to shrug at the [God of War] who was still a little foggy. Batistuta put a black line on his forehead and said, "Li, if they recognized you just now, you would be in trouble......" Li Tongfan laughed, turned around and left: "Didn't you recognize it?" Gabriel, don't you think these fans are cute? Think about it, you can always be friends with a group of strangers you don't know...... Ah, praise God......" Li Tongfan folded his hands, raised his chin slightly and made a prayer gesture, closed his eyes and exclaimed: "This is the power of football!" ”

"By the way, did you take this pose just now?" Li Tongfan suddenly asked.

"Uh...... No! ”

"What a waste of my expression, let's do it again!" The stuffy man was disappointed.

Click-!!

The flash went off and the shutter sounded.

"Lee, which fans will know who you are tomorrow, and how do you think they will react?" Batistuta asked with a sudden smile.

Li Tongfan also laughed out loud along with Hahaha.

………… Li Tongfan didn't know how the drunk man who took a photo with him in front of the bar in the middle of the night would react after meeting him again. But Lao Li now clearly knows that Schalke 04 fans will definitely not cheer for their arrival like the Nella group.

Middle finger, and boos!

The bus that surrounds Inter Milan is less than 200 meters away from the Battlens Arena, but surrounded by fanatical Schalke 04 fans, the bus crawls towards the players' tunnel outside the stadium little by little at a slow pace that even a snail would feel ashamed to look at...... It is said that Schalke 04 fans have set a record for the largest decibel of noise in the Europa League, and many Inter Milan players still scoffed at it, knowing that the atmosphere in Meazza is also quite fanatical, but at this moment, despite being well-informed, many hammers are still suppressed by everything in front of them!

When I looked out of the car window, there was only one color in front of me - blue!

Imperial Blue!

The whole bus is like a light boat that has been swept into the ocean, waiting for a wave to come, and it is in danger of being destroyed at any time...... Schalke fans, as if defending their children, defend their club, football, has risen to become an indispensable culture in a quiet life, the Bundesliga Blues in the Champions League this season as a dark horse in the form of a dark horse to reach the last eight, excellent results even more exciting fans, in the league title is already hopeless, it can be said that the Champions League has become the only emotional sustenance of the citizens of Gelsenkirchen, although they do not expect the team to finally win the Big Ears Cup, But every step forward is a miracle that is enough to make this football city boil!

In such a situation, you can understand what shaker04 fans are looking forward to for this upcoming match. Every man has an inexplicable natural penchant for miracles, and a natural hostility to those who stifle miracles!

Today, Inter Milan and the madman Lee are the ones who are hostile to the whole city.

............The game has started for 10 minutes, and the score is still 0:0......"

Forty minutes later, Battlens Arena.

The German commentator is commenting on the ongoing match with a gloomy face.

The second leg of the quarter-finals of the 2010-2011 UEFA Champions League knockout round between Inter Milan and Schalke 04 has already started 12 minutes.

In the past twelve minutes, Schalke 04 used the power of the home field to burst out with a powerful attack, like a sudden flash flood on a rainy night, with the unstoppable momentum of thousands of horses, carrying rolling stones and muddy water pouring down from the top of the mountain, possessing the power of destroying the world.

[Iron Shuai] Magath obviously wanted to use a fierce offensive to give the madman Lee a surprise dismount.

However, the situation has made many senior supporters of [Imperial Blue] feel a little worried, the current Inter Milan defense created by the madman Li is not a strong point, but even so, they still held on for 12 minutes under the stormy attack of Schalke 04, without showing the slightest flaw!

If you can't attack for a long time, you will be counterattacked!

As long as you think about the [Nerazzurri Storm] that is still raging in Serie A, and think about the tragic situation encountered by the big brother Bayern Munich in the Allianz Arena, the supporters of [Imperial Blue] have no doubt that as long as their offensive stops a little, they will suffer what kind of terrible counterattack the madman Lee will encounter!

Time passes.

Schalke 04 almost played the most gorgeous offensive this season, the cooperation of the midfield is like a passing cloud, mercury poured down, even the Schalke fans in the stands are watching the excitement, but it is such a wonderful attack, once advanced to the Inter Milan half-time penalty area line, but like the snow splashed by the boiling water, the ice and snow dissipated in an instant.

[Iron Marshal], who likes to play centralized power, frowned on the sidelines.

He never thought that the madman Li would actually play this song for him away from home - this madman who likes to attack actually honestly played defensive counterattacks, and he also played well, so that his tactical intention to rely on the desperate attack to win a glimmer of life at home before the game became a complete bubble!

"It's a pity, fitness is Inter's weakness, if they attack hard, we don't have a chance...... But ......" Magath turned his head to look at the young man in front of the away team's coach's bench, less than ten meters away from him, and still felt a little difficult to let go: "Although I have a high opinion of this guy before the game, it is still not enough, there is no vanity under the fame, is this the strength of the myth-maker of the victory?" ”
