16 February, Verona, Stadio Bentagotti

When the referee blew the final whistle, the live TV camera focused on Chiellini in the stands.

The 18-year-old Italian sat next to Fachetti, holding his head, as if he wanted to find a hole to get into, because it was his two mistakes that caused Inter's defeat directly.

The last defeat was back in 2 years, which is really unaccustomed to Inter Milan who haven't felt what it is like to lose for a long, long time.

It's not that they haven't lost, it's just that when you've been used to winning for a long time, when the loss comes again, you find that it's so hard to accept, so every Inter player looks sad and frustrated.

The winning streak is over, and so is the unbeaten streak!

Chievo of luck, Delneri of luck, they finally achieved a record to be proud of, I believe that many, many years later, they will still be proud of their game today, proud, and people will talk about it, it was we back then, ending Inter Milan's winning streak and unbeaten record.

Yang Cheng was also very uncomfortable in his heart, but he knew that this day would come sooner or later.

Strictly speaking, he has been waiting for this day since the team broke AC Milan's unbeaten record, because he is well aware that there must be setbacks to get the team out of the maze of winning streaks and unbeaten and not letting the players get bogged down in it, because winning streaks and unbeaten will frustrate the players' fighting spirit and desire to win.

It's a good thing to lose one!

"Lift your head up for me!" Yang Cheng greeted the player and stopped the player in front of the player's tunnel.

They all took a deep breath, barely raised their heads, looked at their head coach, and then walked over to him one by one and hugged him.

Frankly speaking, the team's performance was not too bad, and the second half forced Chievo to put on an iron bucket formation, defend with all his strength, and Ronaldo's goal was blown offside, otherwise, Inter Milan would have been at least a draw.

"It's a good thing to lose!"

In the locker room, Yang Cheng gathered all the players and before heading to the press conference, he decided to sober them up and see the current situation clearly.

"I've always said that we can afford to lose, but the question is, we need to know, why are we losing?"

"Why?" Yang Cheng asked again.

His eyes swept over every player present, and they all pulled their heads, obviously feeling ashamed.

"Was it because of Chiellini's mistake?" Yang Cheng pointed at Chiellini, and the Italian guy lowered his head, he was so guilty that he almost jumped off the stands.

"I don't think so!" Yang Cheng said conclusively.

"I think one of the very important reasons why we lost this game is that we are used to winning, when we take winning a game as a habit and even become numb because of it, we will lose sooner or later, and I even want to thank Chiellini for not losing badly!"

Everyone sat in front of the closet, their heads down, but listening attentively.

"What if our opponent is not Chievo? What if it were Manchester United? What about Bayern Munich? Real Madrid, or Barcelona? If we continue to approach the game with this blind, careless mentality, what will we lose to? ”

"I like to win, but what I like is to win with passion and pursuit, not just to win for the sake of winning, I want everyone to think about it, don't blame your teammates, don't blame anyone, we lost, we did lose, but we can't be sluggish because of this, because we have to keep going."

"I just want you to think about it, why are we losing? Also, why did we win in the first place? After thinking about these two things, victory will naturally come back! ”

After a pause, Yang Cheng said again, "Tomorrow the team will have a holiday, give everyone a day to think about it, I hope that before going to Barcelona, I can see a different Inter Milan than now!" ”,

…………

…………

"It's just a loss, there's no need to look at this loss as if it's the end of the world!"

At the post-match press conference, Yang Cheng continued to monopolize the position of the protagonist, after all, Delneri could not be compared with him in any way, so he could only reluctantly play a supporting role, shouting in his heart that this was the reward after losing.

'Today's game, Chievo did cause us a lot of problems, the turf at the Bentegorti Stadium is also terrible, I didn't come last time, I'm not trying to make excuses, but it's really bad, of course, that doesn't make a reason or an excuse for us to lose.

'It's not about anybody, my players have done everything they can to get a win, but unfortunately we made some mistakes in the first half, which I overlooked before the game, I'll take all the blame and I hope the outside world doesn't dwell on that.'

A reporter stood up, "Mr. Yang Cheng, when you are about to go to Barcelona to challenge Barcelona away, do you think that the trip to Spain is very dangerous?" Is there confidence? ”

After Yang Cheng listened, he smiled and asked, "Why don't you have confidence?" Could it be that Barcelona eats people? ”

"But Louis van Gaal's side have won 10 consecutive Champions League games, breaking the record set by AC Milan that year, and the morale is high, and it is a home game......

Yang Cheng directly stretched out his hand to interrupt his words, and asked rhetorically: "You mean that you can continue to win if you win in a row?" Aren't we now a real example of that? ”

The reporter was suddenly speechless, Inter Milan has won 20 consecutive games this season, hasn't it still lost one?

"At present, Barcelona and Van Gaal are on the cusp, and many Spanish media even speculate that they will either win the game against Inter Milan, and the Dutchman will keep their position or lose, and the Dutchman will be sacked, do you think this will affect the line-up of the two sides?"

Yang Cheng shook his head, "I know Barcelona very well, I know how to deal with them, and it has nothing to do with whether Van Gaal is out of class or not!" ”

"But the Barcelona fans are hell-bent on killing you!" There was a journalist who said with a smile.

Yang Cheng smiled, "They have hated me for many years, but you see, they haven't succeeded!" ”

"They're going to be at the Camp Nou and they're going to make you feel like hell!" A Spanish media gloated and said.

Yang Cheng sneered, "Then I'll send them to hell first!" ”

…………

…………

Yang Cheng's words soon spread throughout Europe, and for a while, the upcoming battle between Inter Milan and Barcelona became extraordinarily eye-catching, especially recently Yang Cheng has become very active.

After the match against Chievo, Inter Milan returned to Milan on the same day, and Yang Cheng immediately gave an interview to the Milan city newspaper, in which he expressed his doubts about Barcelona's 10-game winning streak.

"I always say the same thing, this Barcelona team is not as strong as it seems on the surface, their 10-game winning streak has a lot of water, 2 are from the Champions League qualifiers, what is the strength of the opponent, everyone knows it, the group was lucky to draw a good draw, at best, the opponents in the second round of the group stage are very strong, but you can also see that they won very hard."

'We just lost in Serie A, but I'm confident we'll get a win at Camp Nou!'

Yang Cheng's words immediately sparked a war of words before the game, and Barcelona's defender, team captain Puyol, stepped up and fought back against Yang Cheng's words.

'If he doesn't think we're good enough, then we'll let him feel it for himself at Camp Nou, just hopefully he and his team will be as tough as his mouth is!'

means that he is laughing at Yang Cheng, and he will die with only one mouth.

After Yang Cheng got Puyol's match, he immediately laughed, "I think Puyol's words are very problematic, because I have had countless glorious records at the Camp Nou, I hope to continue this record, I will tell my players to continue to attack them by 5 goals!" After saying that, he deliberately laughed proudly. ,

This time even Harvey stepped up.

'He's the least gracious manager I've ever seen, and he's constantly talking about his results, which just proves his weakness and shows that he is afraid of Camp Nou, and we will prove that in the game!'

Pep Guardiola also stepped up, "Yang Cheng's team is indeed strong, but it is undeniable that they have just suffered their first defeat in two years, and the team's morale will definitely suffer a serious setback, but it is Barcelona, they have performed very well in the Champions League, although the league performance is sluggish, but it is not a bad thing to give up the league and keep the Champions League." ”

'I believe in Louis van Gaal, I think he's going to be a great manager and the key is to give him confidence!'

After hearing the comments of Pep Guardiola and Xavi, Yang Cheng chose to appear on TV this time.

"Failure makes us look at ourselves more clearly, I don't think that's a bad thing, as for Pep Guardiola's feeling that Barcelona are giving up the league to guarantee the Champions League, this is definitely the funniest joke I've ever heard, what team would not hesitate to let themselves be relegated from La Liga for the sake of the Champions League?"

Speaking of this, Yang Cheng shook his head, "I'm sure no one will be so stupid, right?" ”

Yang Cheng is now deliberately directing all public opinion to himself, so he took the opportunity to fight a war of words with Barcelona, so as not to be overly concerned about his team's defeat.

Sure enough, after many war of words between him and Barcelona's stars, all public opinion stopped paying attention to Inter Milan's loss from the next day, but instead focused on the upcoming battle between Inter Milan and Barcelona.

In the words of the newspaper La Vista, "Barcelona, you also lost, what is there to be proud of?" ”

Different from the previous front-page headlines, this time the front page is an article written by Yang Cheng himself, which is also the first time he has written a football commentary, analyzing Barcelona's 0:2 away loss to Celta from a professional point of view, and commenting on Barcelona's current flaws and loopholes.

"If I were Celta's head coach Lotina, Van Gaal would have to take away at least one 5:0 in this game!"

Yang Cheng's last sentence once again ridiculed his achievements at Camp Nou, and sure enough, it also attracted the attack of Barcelona again, especially the media and players on Barcelona's side, who suddenly attacked one after another, and the artillery fire was focused on Yang Cheng alone, and the media also paid attention to Yang Cheng, and then let go of the players of Inter Milan.

…………

…………

While Yang Cheng and Barcelona were fighting a war of words, the good news was one after another.

First of all, the comeback of Deco and Lucio, Inter Milan's poor days finally came to an end, but Yang Cheng still arranged Chiellini in the squad to go to Spain, so he specially talked to Chiellini once.

"I will continue to give you another chance, unless you make me feel that you have no hope at all, so I will not hesitate to throw you into the transfer market and leave you to fend for yourself, otherwise, you are still my player!"

Yang Cheng's words dispelled all Chiellini's worries and allowed him to continue to stay in the first team with peace of mind.

Lucio returned to the main line-up, plus Zanetti and Deco, and Inter Milan's main force was finally put together again.

After a day of rest, a day of tactical drills and opponent analysis meetings, Yang Cheng led the team to Spain.

When Inter Milan arrived at Barcelona's Prate Airport, hundreds of Barcelona fans gathered at the airport, and they all held all kinds of banners and slogans that humiliated Inter Milan and Yang Cheng, including members of the Libertadores League.

Who let this kid attack Barcelona in such a big formation before the game?

Yang Cheng was not timid at all, but under the escort of the police inspectors and security personnel, he also waved to this group of opponents with great interest, which immediately provoked another round of attacks from them.

Especially when Inter Milan boarded the team's bus, the Barcelona fans at the scene threw debris at the bus and almost smashed the team's bus. ,

Yang Cheng is no stranger to all this, but comforts his players with a smile.

"Calm down, calm down, every time I come, they are like this!"

There was a burst of laughter in the bus, and from their faces, there was no trace of the loss three days ago, and everyone's face was regained with confidence.

Just kidding, I haven't lost for so long, how can the self-confidence and momentum that I have accumulated with great difficulty be gone just because I lost a game?

Yang Cheng was satisfied with the state and mood of the players, but he was very dissatisfied with the next adaptation to the venue, because there were still many Barcelona fans to surround him, which made Inter Milan a little surprised.

Even in the hotel where Inter Milan stayed, Barcelona fans still spared no effort to interfere with the team outside, doing everything possible to affect their rest.

For all this, Yang Cheng looked at it very lightly.

"There's no better revenge than defeating them, is there?"

Under the continuous instigation of Yang Cheng and the agitation of Barcelona fans, the players all held their breath one by one, ready to completely explode on the day of the game.

…………

…………

The next day, the weather was sunny with low temperatures and no wind.

When Yang Cheng led the Inter Milan players out of the tunnel at Camp Nou, tens of thousands of Barcelona at the entire Camp Nou immediately booed, and their boos were even louder than the cheers that greeted the players of the team.

"I have never seen Barcelona fans hate a person so much, which can't help but remind people of Yang Cheng and Barcelona's past, and the pain and sadness he once brought to Barcelona fans in this stadium, which makes him never a welcome guest at Camp Nou, and will always be an enemy!"

The on-site commentators immediately laughed when they saw the Barcelona fans welcoming Yang Cheng.

He couldn't help but admire this Caesar a little, under the boos of tens of thousands of fans, he was able to talk and laugh, and even waved at the group of fans in the stands who threw things at him, further stabbing them, how much courage it takes!

"It's so enjoyable!" Benitez followed behind Yang Cheng with a look of excitement.

This is the first time he has come to Camp Nou in such an capacity, as a die-hard fan of Real Madrid, he hates Barcelona, so he is happy to see Yang Cheng come to Camp Nou as an enemy and confront Barcelona fans.

"Enjoyable?" Paul Byer was honest and shook his head.

If it weren't for the current situation of the team, he would never agree with Yang Cheng's current approach.

"Don't you think it's fun to beat Barcelona in this atmosphere, Paul?" Yang Cheng turned his head and asked with a smile.

Paul Byer smiled wryly, but he agreed with Yang Cheng's sense of conquest.

The more the Barcelona fans booed him, the more excited the guy became, because he felt that beating Barcelona in the midst of such boos was definitely a great reward.

The players warmed up on the field, but the fans booed Yang Cheng in the stands without stopping for a moment.

It was maintained until the end of the warm-up, Yang Cheng accompanied the players back to the locker room, and the boos eased slightly, but they were still loud.

"Did you hear those boos?" Yang Cheng asked with a smile.

The players all nodded their heads, and whoever couldn't hear was deaf.

"I'm putting my life in your hands now, and if you lose, then I have no doubt that I won't be able to get out of this Camp Nou tonight!"

Yang Cheng's words immediately made Inter Milan laugh.

"Don't worry, boss, you can't go, we'll accompany you!" Ronaldo laughed.

Who knows, this flattering words provoked Yang Cheng to scold.

"Guy with no ambition, I should say, we must kill Barcelona, and then accompany you out of the Camp Nou stadium openly, understand?" Yang Cheng finally shouted loudly.

"Understood!" The players shouted in unison.

"Kill Barcelona!". ）
