Chapter 197 Tribute to Baggio
After a brief return to China, Li Tie returned to Italy.

But this time, Liu Fei will take the child with her no matter what she says.

Long-term separation between the two places is a torment for her, and she lacks fatherly love for her children, so she has to go with her.

And Li Jiao is also full moon and in good health, she should be able to withstand the fatigue of the journey.

Therefore, when I came back, I was alone, but when I got there, there were three people.

The children's things are checked in, so as not to buy new ones.

When we arrived in Milan, jet lag would be a problem for the little guy. Of course, the grown-ups would be even more tired, so they had to watch her.

Fortunately, two days later, the jet lag was reversed.

The conditions of the villa here are of course good. Moreover, there are many star neighbors around, and there are many family members of them. This provides Liu Fei with a reason not to be lonely in her future life.

After making arrangements for his wife and children, Li Tie went to the team to report.

Seeing Li Tie return intact, Facchetti and Mourinho finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Inter Milan injured Ronaldo and their offensive power was greatly reduced. Li Tie's return can effectively make up for this.

Not to mention a healthy Li Tie, the club will of course breathe a sigh of relief.

In the fifth round of the Champions League group in the middle of the week, Inter Milan played away as a substitute and drew 0:0 with Chelsea.

Li Tie and other main players did not go to London, and took turns to rest.

Anyway, they have already qualified ahead of time, so what kind of fair competition are they going to engage in?
And Kaiserslautern defeated Lokomotiv Moscow 2-0 at home, and also won another seat in the top 16. In the last round, it became tasteless.

As for who is first in the group, does it matter?

In the round of 16, there are still groups, and the first place is meaningless.

Instead, Chelsea and Lokomotiv Moscow are going to compete for the UEFA Cup seat, and it is estimated that there will be sparks at that time.

However, it has to be said that after the expansion of the Champions League this year, the competitiveness of the group is indeed a bit weak.

Quite a number of teams had secured the places that appeared early. Manchester United, Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid, Bayern, Valencia and other teams all qualified early.

The difference between strength and weakness is very obvious.

If this weak team wants to be upset, the chances are not very high.

Of the 8 groups, Hertha Berlin is probably the coldest at the moment. Surrounded by AC Milan and Arsenal, it has already reached the round of 16 ahead of schedule, leaving AC Milan and Arsenal in ambush.

You know, Hertha Berlin is the third team in the group.

Deisler continues to be very popular. Many clubs want him this season, but he just won't leave. It's really strange. Is he really waiting for Li Tie's call?

If this really gets Inter Milan, then the strength of Inter Milan can be upgraded to another level. Both the side and the center can be extremely powerful, and the technical level needs to be improved a lot.

Now with the gradual formation of the top [-], the second stage group stage grouping has become even more eye-catching.

In the ninth round of the league, Inter Milan challenged Bologna away.

The Bologna team had a period of glory in the 40s, and they were frequent visitors to the league championship.

However, in recent years, they have basically been mixed in the middle and lower reaches of the league.

At present, they have reached the third position in the league. Bologna fans think, is the team about to recover?

This has also been hailed as Baggio's revenge battle by the outside world. In fact, where is such an exaggeration?

There are many teams that Baggio has stayed in, so they all want revenge, why don't they kill people?

At the press conference before the game, Li Tie shook hands with Baggio and expressed his respect to him.

However, Baggio did respond indifferently. Being kicked out by Inter Milan did affect Baggio's mentality. Although he is a very devout believer, everything is bearish, but people are still unavoidable.

The match day is approaching, and all the main players of Inter Milan are also in battle.

Eto'o partnered with Didier Drogba, and Li Tie continued to serve as the attacking midfielder.

Stankovic was moved to the right to play right midfielder, while Pirlo also rested this time, Zanetti played as a midfielder, Di Biagio ran to the wing, and the back four Materazzi, Blanc, Zanetti and Panucci.

In the away game, Mourinho still changed to 4-4-2, paying more attention to the defense of the back line.

This change has indeed made the team's defense more balanced.

After the game started, the home team was unambiguous and directly launched an attack.

The frontcourt trident Baggio, Ventola and Signori were active, threatening the goal guarded by Cech many times.

However, Inter Milan's defense is not for nothing. It is not only very strong, but also very aggressive.

In the 5th minute, Baggio broke through and was brought down by Zanetti at the front of the penalty area, and he didn't get up for a long time.

This made the fans of the home team quite worried. However, after simple treatment, Baggio stood up and took the free kick himself.

However, the free kick he took was judged correct by Cech and he took it off directly.

Two minutes later, Baggio broke through and was knocked to the ground again by Zanetti. The home fans couldn't help but yell at Zanetti, thinking that he played too rough, and that the referee didn't play a card for such a series of bad fouls against Baggio, which made them very dissatisfied.

Of course, Zanetti will not be affected. He received Mourinho's order to keep a close eye on Baggio and destroy Baggio's performance. Therefore, he will use his physical advantage to fight against Baggio.

Of course, Zanetti naturally still likes Baggio in his heart, but it's a pity that now everyone is in charge, so the bayonet can only be popular.

In the 15th minute, Baggio broke through again, and Zanetti wanted to use his body to carry Baggio again. As a result, Baggio suddenly made a Marseille maneuver, and Zanetti was thrown away.

Before he fouled, Baggio suddenly kicked a pass.

Signori threw off Blanc, volleyed, and the ball hit the net, 1:0!

Bologna is leading at home!
The home fans roared wildly, so what about the leaders?We still want to kill you today!

Signori also proudly rushed to the sidelines to celebrate, and the Bologna players surrounded him.

The old coach Mazzoni was also very satisfied. He walked to the sidelines to applaud, and glanced at Inter Milan's coaching bench. It is estimated that he was still a little dissatisfied with Mourinho in his heart. This personality coach has offended many people in Serie A. Mazzoni probably thought to himself that you are still a little tender.

Li Tie saw it from a distance, and felt that the ball was really beautiful. Baggio's extraordinary skills, nothing to say, and a good grasp of the rhythm.

If he came to defend, it is estimated that Baggio would not be so easy to pass himself.

Although Zanetti is strong, the work on his feet is obviously rough and lacks adaptability.

He took advantage before, thinking that there would be no changes in the future, but who knew that Baggio had changed, but he didn't keep up.

However, it was still early in the game, so Li Tie was not worried. He called his teammates over and said, "Let our offense shine like moonlight!"

Re-kick-off, Inter Milan began to counterattack.

There were not many opportunities to attack before, and there were not many opportunities for Li Tie to get the ball. Bologna's defense in the backcourt was also very tough. Serie A teams have no soft persimmons.

Li Tie took the ball and beat Ze Elias. The Brazilian also knew Li Tie's strength, so he didn't take it lightly, but kept running with Li Tie, and Nervo was ready to help defend at any time.

Li Tie saw it, and if you still don't set your feet, then I will not be polite.

He suddenly jumped out of the gap and kicked up!
The ball slipped between Ze Elias' legs and flew straight to the goal.

Another former member of Inter Milan, Pagliuca, slapped the ball with a flying palm and knocked out the ball.

After getting up, Pagliuca let out a long cry. Obviously, he was also dissatisfied with Inter Milan's cleanup. He couldn't win the championship, so he didn't blame him, but Inter Milan didn't give him a chance, but directly gave it to Bologna.

However, when he learned of Peruzzi's current situation, Pagliuca was grateful again. Peruzzi began to take his place, but who would have thought that the goalkeeper on the opposite side is a 17-year-old kid?
Pagliuca then lashed out at Zeelias. Although he threw the ball, he still had lingering fears. Li Tie's long-range shots have always been very reliable. Who would dare not press close?

Ze Elias hurriedly raised his hand, admitting that it was his own negligence.

After Li Tie took the corner kick, Materazzi overwhelmed Falconi with a header and the ball was saved by Pagliuca to the baseline.

Two consecutive wonderful saves also made Pagliuca warmly cheered by the home fans.

Many fans are thanking Inter Milan, which has sent them a lot of good players, otherwise, how could they stay in the third position in the league now?
In the box in the stands, Moratti also looked a little embarrassed.

If I had known this, I would not have sold these players to Bologna together, and sold them to other teams separately, so as not to be hit back now.

For the second corner kick, Li Tie chose the back point again. Drogba also overpowered Worm, but his header did not have the strength to go up and was directly taken by Pagliuca.

Subsequently, Pagliuca immediately threw the ball to attack, and the ball was thrown to Baggio by him.

Baggio started quickly with the ball and passed the middle circle very quickly. At this time, there were only Zanetti and Panucci in the backcourt of Inter Milan, and they quickly chased after them.

Baggio turned and poked, and passed Panucci's defense again. Facing Zanetti, Baggio swung sideways. Zanetti followed this time, and Baggio pulled back again.

It was too late for Zanetti to react. After the center of gravity shifted, it was difficult for him to make better defensive moves. He could only watch Baggio go in, and after passing Cech who was attacking, he pushed the empty goal and succeeded, 2:0!

"Damn it, Baggio really deserves his reputation. It seems that it will be a little difficult today!"

A thought flashed through Li Tie's mind. This was the first time he felt powerless. Veteran Baggio is indeed worthy of respect!
