Chapter 621: Florence
When it comes to this kind of chicken soup for the soul, Han Sen is certainly not unfamiliar with it, so he asked Mourinho tentatively: "What he means is that I want to take a long-term view, not to stare at the gains and losses of a game, but to see the gains and losses of a season!" ”
Mendez laughed on the side: "Handsome, your confidence is still not enough!" Do you know who was competing with Suarez for European Footballer of the Year? ”
Han Sen said stupidly, "Who? ”
"Puskas!" Mendez snapped his fingers, "Stefano, Yasin, I don't need to introduce these characters!" ”
Han Sen quickly shook his head.
Mendes said meaningfully to Han Sen: "I think what Mr. Su means is that you not only have to play every game for the team, but also break through the encirclement of other outstanding players in terms of personal honors and become one of the greatest players of this era!" ”
Han Sen sat there and his heart moved, yes, since he won the best in the Champions League as a dark horse, because of the events one after another, he has not thought about other personal honors. Things are really like what Suarez said, in fact, I don't need to worry about the empty things such as playing places and main players now, what I want is to slowly lay the foundation for my path to the greatest player of this era through each game!
But can you really be one in a million? Han Sen's heartbeat sped up a few points!
Mendes seemed to see through what Han Sen was thinking: "There is still more than one month left for FIFA's World Footballer of the Year selection, and the 50-man squad will come out in two days." Don't worry, with me here, these 50 people will definitely be able to enter. But whether I can get into the top three in the poll, I'm still working on it. ”
Han Sen thought to himself that Mendes was also a big fool, he was the best in the Champions League last season, and he couldn't get into 50 people, and the word "working hard" is not the same as not saying it?
Mourinho looked at Han Sen from the side, and said with a somewhat disdainful expression: "Something. It doesn't mean that your hard work will definitely pay off, and every year, even the top scorers and best players in the five major leagues can't get into the FIFA Golden Ball 50-man squad. ”
Han Sen looked at Mendes in some surprise. Mendes shrugged his shoulders, meaning that this matter was indeed not as easy as imagined, so Han Sen was also silent. Although this year I have seen the impact of Chinese football's anti-gambling and anti-crime on myself and the people around me. In the real world, the so-called unspoken rules are everywhere?
The weekend's home league game against Fiorentina, based in the Tuscany region of Italy, attracted a lot of attention. Founded on August 26, 1926. In the 50s and 60s, he won the league twice. In the 90s, the club was in the spotlight due to the emergence of superstars such as Batistuta, but in mid-2002 the club declared bankruptcy due to financial deficits, and then fortunately it was supported by businessmen to form a new team and start playing in the Italian Group C2. In the summer of 2003, the team bought back the name of Fiorentina and in 2004 they beat Perugia in the promotion play-offs to return to the first division. In the 2007-2008 and 2008-2009 seasons, Fiorentina ranked fourth in Serie A and qualified for the Champions League for two consecutive years.
Both teams went through a Champions League clash in midweek. But the sad and the happy thing is that Fiorentina qualified ahead of schedule. Inter lost to Barcelona, so Mourinho was under a lot of pressure. At the same time, since the next round of the league is the Italian derby against Juventus, Inter cannot afford to lose.
Against Jose Mourinho, who did not have a noticeable effect by moving Hansen forward to the front for Barcelona, some changes were made to the starting line-up for this game, with McCone suspended and Zanetti switching to right-back. In midfield, Sneijder continued to miss due to injury, Mourinho used the long-absent Quaresma, and the Portuguese formed a front three with Samuel Eto'o and Milito. And Han Sen still returned to the center position of the three backs, and used a slightly back position to dispatch the whole field!
Inter Milan and Fiorentina have played 142 games in the history of Serie A, with Inter Milan having the advantage of 56 wins, 48 draws and 38 losses, scoring 213 goals and conceding 176 goals; Among them, the home team has an absolute advantage of 40 wins, 18 draws and 13 losses, scoring 136 goals and conceding 74 goals.
Maybe it's because the attitude and rhythm of the crazy scramble with Barcelona in midweek have not subsided, Inter Milan fought actively after the opening, and it was not at all like the midweek Champions Cup, the scramble was quite in place, and Fiorentina was in a hurry. In the 5th minute, Quaresma crossed two people on the right flank, and Milito's header was blocked by a defender. In the seventh minute, Samuel Eto'o split the flanks and Muntari's left-footed shot from the edge of the box went wide. In the 11th minute, Samuel Eto'o took the ball in the box and faced the goal, but was intercepted by Dainelli from diagonally behind. In the 13th minute, Inter missed a great chance when Militose cut into the box and Muntari cut into the box to break through, but his shot from a tight angle hit the side-netting.
In the last game against Barcelona, Han Sen almost did not retreat to the defense, but in the attack, because he could not get the ball, he did not show his advantage. It's different now, after Han Sen retreats to the midfield, there are more people in front of him to command, and at the same time, there is more cover, which makes Han Sen's movement more free. Coupled with the fact that Fiorentina's defense and pressing intensity were far inferior to Barcelona's, the entire first half almost turned into a stormy offensive performance of Inter Milan with a breath of resentment in his heart, and Fiorentina could only find some counterattack opportunities through set-pieces. It wasn't until near the end of the first half that it began to rain off the pitch that Inter's offensive eased.
In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again, and the rain became heavier and heavier. In the 49th minute, Hansen went straight through, Milito covered the air, and Muntari burst into the penalty area, but his shot was shoveled out by the opposing defender Dainelli. Immediately after the 50th minute, Inter took a corner kick from the left, and Samuel dived in the penalty spot to bombard the header, and the ball flew into the left corner of the goal. However, the referee ruled that the goal was disallowed on the grounds that Samuel was tugging at the opponent's shirt as he jumped. The slow-motion footage on the big screen showed Samuel and Dainelli both pulling each other's jerseys, a controversial decision that booed tens of thousands of fans at the Meazza Stadium.
The two sides continued to go back and forth, and in the 52nd minute, the opponent's No. 18 Montolivo shot with his right foot from the right side of the field, which was obtained by goalkeeper Cesar. In the 56th minute, Quaresma went straight to the goal, Milito deducted the defender's left-footed shot in the penalty area, and the opposing goalkeeper Frei saved the ball, but Muntari's left-footed shot on the left side of the penalty area was not kicked! In the 65th minute, Inter missed the stunner, Han Sen flashed the opponent's C?Zanetti straight behind him, Milito formed a single knife against offside, but his shot to the far corner was slightly off!
Seeing that the advantage of the whole game only blossomed but did not bear fruit, Inter made a series of substitutions, Motta replaced Muntari, who wasted a chance, and Mancini Jr. replaced Quaresma, who performed mediocrely. In the 80th minute, the opposing striker Gilardino formed a single knife after picking up the ball between Lucio and Samuel, but his shot hit the post and popped up! In the 84th minute, the chance to break the deadlock finally came, Milito smashed the ball in the box, and the opposing defender Comoto arrived and brought him down, a clear foul, and the referee awarded an indisputable penalty.
Han Sen, who is about to play the whole game, but is not particularly good, stood before the penalty spot as a penalty taker, Han Sen has stood on the penalty spot for the third time this season, and in the past 8 games, 2 of the 5 goals have been penalty kicks, this time Han Sen did not hesitate too much, and pumped the ball into the upper right corner of the goal! 1-0, Han Sen ushered in his sixth league goal of the season. After the goal, Han Sen did not choose to kiss the wristband as before, but turned around and hugged Milito behind him, thanking him for the penalty he created.
In the 87th minute, Hansen and Motta shifted several times in the center circle and suddenly sent the ball out, Eto'o formed a single knife from the center circle, he ran 30 meters into the box to face Frei, made a feint but failed to deceive the goalkeeper, and finally his shot was blocked by Frei, missing the chance to seal the win. However, then the big screen in the stadium showed Juve falling behind 0-2 on another field, which made the fans at the Meazza Stadium cheer. The morale of the players on the field was also boosted, and in the end Inter won 1-0, taking all three points. Combined with Juventus' defeat in this round, Inter temporarily extended their lead to seven points. Head high for the upcoming Italian derby!
