Chapter 243 We Can Win
On October 10st, there were home fans in green jerseys outside the Volkswagen Athletic Stadium. Several media interview cars were parked at the entrance. The reporters were randomly interviewing the fans who entered the stadium one after another. Although there were still two full hours before the start of the game, players from both sides Haven't even started warming up yet.

Most of the reporters who appeared here were from tabloid offices and media. They came here to collect materials because they didn’t get the interview card for the pre-match press conference. Among them, a small reporter with black hair and yellow skin was very conspicuous. Fans stopped by specifically to be interviewed.

"Chinese?"

"Yes, I'm from..."

Before Qian Yu finished speaking, the fans on the opposite side suddenly applauded, and the applause was accompanied by loud whistles.

"Best starts today, we will beat Inter Milan!"

"That's right, Best can surprise us every time, that old idiot Amin Fei!"

"Facing a strong enemy, Best will exert all its energy..."

Qian Yu was stunned for a while, knowing that Wolfsburg has lost five games in a row, and the fans still have such confidence.

……

Compared with the harmonious atmosphere in the square outside the stadium, the press conference seemed a bit tense.

One is Amin Fei, who has suffered a five-game losing streak, and may also lose a six-game losing streak.

One is Mourinho, who has three consecutive draws in the domestic league and suffered extensive injuries to his main players.

Speaking of which, Mourinho is indeed a bit unlucky. Motta, the core of the team, the excellent striker Milito who just transferred, and Eto'o, who opened the scoring in the Champions League final last year, were all injured and exempted from the game. Mourinho O had to let Balotelli serve as the single arrow.

Faced with the reporter's question about Sun Wu's starting game, Amin Fei looked a bit ugly, and reluctantly said: "Best is an excellent player, but his defense is a bit weak, so during this period of time, he will practice extra on the training ground..."

"But Best is an attacking midfielder, isn't he?" a reporter asked suddenly.

"Attacking players also need to defend." Amin Fei turned to look at the press officer. Why isn't it over yet?

"Ahem, I agree." Mourinho coughed twice expressionlessly, and suddenly said: "Best is indeed an excellent player, but his talent is more for praise."

After a moment of silence, the reporters below began to whisper. In the past two years, Mourinho's image in Serie A is... he has been pissed off by everyone except Inter Milan. All the coaches have quarreled with him, and most of them were Mourinho who took the initiative and provoked troubles for no reason.

But Mourinho went on to say: "I was very impressed with Best, especially his first game in his career."

The reporters all realized that this time Mourinho was really not provocative for no reason. The first game of Best’s career was the FA Cup semi-final against Mourinho’s Chelsea, which eventually led to Mourinho’s first Nothing in one season indirectly led to Mourinho's early resignation in the second season, and it was after Best led Blackburn to beat Chelsea.

Speaking of it, it is really a hot news topic. The reporters have scolded themselves for not being detailed enough to check the information before. Fortunately, Mourinho provided the material on his own initiative.

"I didn't understand it at first, but I found out later." Mourinho spread his hands, "The coach who brought Best to professional football was from Barcelona, ​​and Best also stayed in La Masia's youth training camp later. La Masia was born, well, he should have a good relationship with Messi and Iniesta, they are all excellent actors."

Although leaving Chelsea, the battle between Mourinho and Barcelona has continued, and there seems to be no end in sight.

……

After the warm-up, Sun Wu sat on the stool and thought silently. The other teammates were chatting about trivial matters. It seemed that the previous five-game losing streak did not affect them too much, only Dzeko beside him did not participate.

Sun Wu deeply felt the huge gap between the giants and ordinary teams. This gap does not lie in the background, the strength of the team, or the history, but in the mentality, ambition, and relentless pursuit of honor and victory.

After winning the double championship last season, Sun Wu found that the mentality of his teammates was slowly changing. This change happened in every detail. A decent reputation and annual salary.

"It's quite clear what they are talking about?" Dzeko looked at Sun Wu with a wry smile.

Sun Wu nodded slightly but did not speak. The group of people were having a heated discussion on a new song that a singer had just released.

You don't need to maintain a serious and regretful expression all the time when you lose, but you need to do some reflection and consider what changes to make in the next game. Sun Wu remembers that he was at Blackburn before, under Magath last season, in the dressing room before the game There has never been such a thing in Li, and Amin Fei's style of leading the team is really arbitrary.

Amin Fei walked into the locker room and began to emphasize various tactical details again. Sun Wu stared at the tactical board unfocused, but thought, at least Amin Fei was still ambitious.

"Christian, you have to take care of the left side a little bit defensively, and Zvezdan will come in."

Amin Fei told Gentner's words to his ears, and Sun Wu frowned slightly. In fact, Gentner is not a very good defensive midfielder, and his ability to sweep laterally is not strong, and his organizational skills are average. Khedira will not take away the main position.

However, Gentner's excellent long-range shooting, grabbing points, and strong round-trip running ability have the possibility of becoming an excellent B2B midfielder.

It's about to play, and the players all stand up and make final preparations.

"I have already applied to the club council. If I qualify from the group stage, the club will issue a bonus."

Amin Fei's trump card achieved good results, and the eyes of several players below were brightened.

After the five-game losing streak, Amin Fei keenly felt that his control over the team was declining. This was the most likely means of boosting morale he could think of.

Accompanied by the shouts of the broadcaster, along with the shouts and applause from the stands, Sun Wu was the last one to walk out of the player channel.

"Listen to me!" Sun Wu gathered his teammates together, "We can beat this Inter Milan team, at least in this game."

"Zvezdan, don't send the ball too hastily into the penalty area. You also need to be cautious when shooting from the outside. The Portuguese are very good at defensive training and won't give you and Edin too much space."

"Edin, your range of activities should be wider. I think there is a tacit understanding between us?"

"Obafimi, your speed is very important, but you need to widen the width when counterattacking, try to start from the two sides, and I will give you enough advance!"

The Wolfsburg players felt a familiar yet unfamiliar feeling. A few months ago, before every game, Sun Wu would tell his teammates the details that need to be paid attention to in the locker room, and then put them in the game. Every detail finally becomes the behind-the-scenes factor of victory.
