Lord of Greenery

Chapter 314 The end of the first half of the season
Before the winter break, Inter Milan still has two league games to play.

Because of his injury, Li Ze was destined not to be able to participate in these two games.

There is good news too, Sneijder is almost recovering from his injury.

In an away game against Atlanta, Sneijder is almost ready to return.

At Atlanta's home court, Inter Milan scored a goal from Milito in the 15th minute.

Even without Li Ze, the overall strength of Inter Milan should not be underestimated.

However, after taking the lead, Inter Milan's performance was not very good.

On the one hand, it is because Mourinho habitually gave up the ball after taking the lead, which gradually slowed down the Atlanta players from falling behind.

On the other hand, the status of many Inter Milan players on the field is also very problematic.

Sneijder has just recovered from injury, Stankovic is not used to the position of the midfielder, and the most important thing is Balotelli.

Balotelli's talent is visible to the naked eye. Before he had any performance in Inter Milan, he was already favored by many people.

However, Balotelli is not a very stable player, and he usually does not train very seriously.

Without a lot of training, Balotelli's body has no muscle memory, and his reaction speed is not so fast at certain times.

In defense, Inter Milan got a lot of opportunities to counterattack.

It is because of the status of the players that they have been unable to score another goal for a long time.

On the contrary, Atlanta saw the right time and seized the loopholes in Inter Milan's defense to equalize the score.

1: 1!

Inter Milan scored a draw away.

This score is certainly acceptable for Atlanta.

They are now 18th in the table and in the relegation zone.

For them, even a point is worth a lot.

For Inter Milan, this score is completely unacceptable.

Some people may think that Inter Milan has performed so well before, so what happened to the occasional draw?
But the fact is that after the team performs well, everyone's expectations of the team will be higher.

Many football clubs will fall into a vicious circle——

The more you win, the more you can't afford to lose.

Inter Milan also has this problem now, and it is not serious.

This time it was tied by the relegation team, even if it was an away game, the outside world was full of criticism of Inter Milan.

Fortunately, Inter Milan's previous lead was huge enough that a draw would not affect the overall situation.

Mourinho didn't think so, and directly reprimanded the players again.

Of course, always reprimanding is not a reasonable locker room management method. Mourinho wants to reprimand, but it can't make the players feel rebellious.

"You can do better. Are you satisfied with your current achievements?"

Half encouragement and half stimulation, this is Mourinho's words.

However, player morale is not something that can be easily raised.

In the 17th round of the league, which is also the last round of the league before the winter break of Serie A, Inter Milan's performance is still struggling.

In this game, Inter Milan will face Lazio at home.

Lazio's state this season is even worse than last season.

Last season's Blue Eagles, at least for a period of time, are still eligible to compete for a Champions League seat.

But this season, the winter break is coming, and Lazio is still ranked 15th in the league and needs to work hard to avoid relegation.

The only thing that can give them a little relief may be that the performance of their rivals in the same city, Rome, is equally bad.

Like the previous game, this one was also in the 15th minute, with Inter Milan scoring the lead.

This time it was Maicon who scored the goal. When the Brazilian full-back's condition did not decline, he was really the king of Inter Milan.

The problem is after this.

After scoring a goal, Inter Milan seemed to be unable to play again.

It is normal for the ball possession rate to fall into a disadvantage, and Mourinho's tactics are such a style.

But while the ball possession rate was behind, Inter Milan also gave the opponent a lot of shooting opportunities.

This is very wrong.

There are too many shots, and it is always easy to get caught.

Mourinho looked stinky, and he couldn't help worrying.

Fortunately, both Cesar and Samuel were in very good condition in this game, and they saved the team from fire and water many times.

When the final whistle sounded, all Inter Milan players breathed a sigh of relief.

This game was really much more difficult than imagined.

Fortunately, the end result is beautiful.

At the end of the last league game before the winter break, Inter Milan scored 17 points with a record of 14 games, 3 wins and 45 draws, ranking first in the standings without any suspense.

According to Inter Milan's current performance, it can be said that it has thrown off all competitors by one position.

More fans began to look forward to the undefeated season.

If possible, the fans even want to hit the unbeaten record of the five major leagues.

The current unbeaten record is maintained by AC Milan, which is also a Serie A team and even in the same city as Inter Milan.

That was the Milan of the dynastic period. Milan, which had the Dutch Three Musketeers, had completed 58 unbeaten games in Serie A.

And followed by Arsenal's 49 unbeaten games in the Premier League.

With Inter Milan's current performance, there is still a long way to go from the record.

However, according to Inter Milan's current strength and state, many fans really think that they have this strength and ability.

Unlike the optimistic fans, the reporters think that Inter Milan's current situation is very bad.

"Hua Guoli is not here, and the entire Inter Milan team seems to be unable to attack."

"Inter Milan faced the underdogs in the Champions League and Serie A in these rounds, but it was very difficult for them to win."

"Inter Milan relies too much on Li Ze, it doesn't look like a giant."

Some of these media really think so, while others just want to add some trouble to Inter Milan.

If the Inter Milan players read their reports, cared about their reports, and even had conflicts with Li Ze because of this, then they really couldn't make more money.

It's not impossible for this kind of thing to happen. After all, people's hearts grow on themselves, and it's impossible for others to see it.

Maybe the conflict in the locker room is caused by the accumulation of these small problems.

The Serie A champion has always been Inter Milan, which has caused aesthetic fatigue to many people.

If possible, they really don't mind adding a little congestion to Inter Milan.

On the other side, Li Ze, who was still recovering, breathed a sigh of relief.

When he was injured, Inter Milan did not encounter too many problems.

A tie in the league is no big deal, the league title will still be theirs.

If the team's performance had problems due to his injury, then Li Ze would be ashamed.

The winter break of Serie A is not too long, just half a month.

Even with such a short vacation time, some team training time has to be removed.

To be honest, the rest time is only ten days.

And even in this short period of time, Mendes arranged a commercial endorsement for Li Ze.

But it's not all bad news, Claire called——

"I want to spend Christmas with you."
