Football irons are burning

Chapter 204 Full of Controversy
In the middle of the week, Inter Milan went to Germany to play the second match of Group C of the UEFA Champions League round of [-] against Kaiserslautern.

Careful fans will find that Li Tie and Djorkaeff did not appear in the team's roster.

Fortunately, Li Tie said that he himself said that he would not play against Kaiserslautern again in the future, but Djorkaf is not there. Thinking of his previous revelations, many people will have ideas.

At the press conference before the game, a reporter mentioned this.

Mourinho said: "He is injured and will not play in this game. But we have other strikers and we will remain unbeaten away."

A reporter immediately asked if he was thrown into the sidelines by the club, Mourinho sneered and said nothing.

When the match day came, Inter Milan formed a 3-6-1 formation, leaving only Eto'o in front.

Stankovic came to the midfielder's position, and he replaced Li Tie's position.

Obviously, Mourinho has tried the 3-6-1 formation before, and it still has good results, so this formation is arranged again this time.

After the start of the game, the two sides fought hard in the midfield, and the scene was a little dull.

Everyone is too familiar with each other's routines.

After playing for 20 minutes, the two sides only took 3 shots, and the fans were drowsy.

Mourinho squinted his eyes on the sidelines, not in a hurry. In his opinion, whether the game was played well or not is not important, it depends on whether the opponent wants to press up and attack.

If the opponent dares to press out and attack, then Inter Milan's counterattack will work quickly.

On the other side, Magath is not in a hurry, he obviously knows the wishful thinking of his opponent.

Let's grind slowly at home. It's good to be able to get one, but it's fine if you can't. Anyway, in this group, the other two opponents are average.

In the 26th minute, Klose received a long pass from Zheng Zhi with a header, and Pantic stabbed a shot, but Lucio blocked the bottom line by defending.

After the corner kick was taken, it was Klose who actually grabbed the spot in front of Materazzi, shook his head and hit the goal, and the ball was slightly higher.

When Mourinho saw it, he immediately jumped up and yelled at the back line to make them concentrate.

Materazzi and Lucio didn't dare to be careless, and since then they have been inseparable from Klose and Pantic.

The halftime score was 0:0.
After the start of the second half, the two sides still played very ugly, similar to rugby.

The two sides are in the midfield, and they are on their backs. It is really too difficult to pass the midfield.

And the long pass, of course, has no effect.

In the end, the game was tied 0:0, with both sides scoring one point.

In the post-match press conference, the topics asked by reporters were all questions about the aggressiveness of both sides.

"Football results are the most important thing. We can play this way in an away game. We are very satisfied if we can score a point." Mourinho said shamelessly.

Magath also said: "We know very well how strong Inter Milan's defense is, so it is difficult to invest more troops. We need to prevent the opponent's counterattack. Eto'o is a very powerful killer. We have limited his speed very well."

In another game of the group, Porto also drew 0:0 with Mallorca in the away game. This group is the only group that did not score this round.

Manchester United and Barcelona in Group A defeated Lazio and Bordeaux 1-0 respectively. Sure enough, the two teams still have more background.

Facing Manchester United, Lazio had an advantage in the whole game, but Yang Cheng scored a lob from a midfielder, and the away game did not have a good result.

And Manchester United's midfielder Essien defended Veron very well. This powerful African buffalo is considered by Manchester United fans to be the best candidate to replace Keane.

Keane, who has been injured for a long time, is likely to fade out of Manchester United after this season.

Group B Real Madrid returned home and drew again with Ajax 1:1.

With only 1 point in two rounds, Real Madrid is a bit difficult to handle.

And Hertha Berlin also drew 1:1 with Arsenal in the away game. The draw seems to be very popular, and the wind is blowing.

Bayern in Group D continued to be extremely strong. After sweeping Leeds United in the last round, they originally defeated Juventus 1-0 at home, leading the standings of this group with two consecutive victories.

Valencia defeated Leeds United 2:0, Mendieta performed well, and the team also ranked second in the group.

After this round of the Champions League group stage, the media will naturally have more topics.

For example, discussions about Inter Milan's Li Tie and Djorkaeff have been raging, and Li Tie has also become a controversial figure.

In fact, he can't be regarded as a ball bully at all, and on the field, he is the core of the team, naturally he has the most balls, and the rhythm of offense and defense is also under his control.

Try another person, it will definitely not work.

This game is proof that there is still a clear gap between Stankovic and Li Tie.

Gazzetta dello Sport still defended Li Tie. The newspaper believed that Djorkaeff's remarks were an unfavorable factor that undermined the unity of the team's locker room. French players should not speak out and bring uncertainty to the team's battle.

"Li Tie is not like the kind of person that Djorkaeff said. He bears a lot of responsibility on the court and is a man of love and righteousness. He can carry the entire team, but Djorkaeff obviously cannot."

The Turin Sports Daily has some ambiguous emotions in it: Inter Milan's internal strife proves that Mourinho's control over the team is obviously very poor. Players question the team captain and coach. This is a terrible thing.

Corriere dello Sport: Djorkaf may be telling the truth, but Li Tie's ability is obvious to all. He is a key figure in the strong rise of Inter Milan this season.

The French newspaper L'Equipe defended Djorkaeff, believing that he has the right to speak and should not be treated like this by Inter Milan.

"We all know that Li Tie reprimanded Djorkaeff on the field. This is not a reasonable approach. According to Djorkaeff's recollection, Li Tie used the Chinese national curse to call him a mountain cannon. This is obviously a bit of a personal attack!"

Djorkaeff himself has returned to France, and it is estimated that he must have accepted an interview with the L'Equipe newspaper.

For a while, Li Tie was repeatedly mentioned by the media, and his image also became somewhat flickering.

On Friday night, the European Footballer of the Year awards ceremony took place in Paris.

Li Tie was also invited to go, and he had a high voice to win the championship before.

Before entering the venue, the media interviewed Li Tie one after another, but Li Tie did not say a word.

Obviously, it's not suitable to be interviewed now. Even if the words are reasonable, they will be played up by the media, and it will be even more detrimental to me.

This time, Rivaldo and Beckham also came to Paris, and the three are candidates for the award.

Seeing Li Tie, Beckham comforted him, but Rivaldo said nothing.

After the award presentation began, the host Sophie Marceau introduced the situation of the three of them. This female star looked quite seductive, and Li Tie admired her very much.

After the introduction, the prize draw will begin.

"This year's European Footballer of the Year selection No.3 is David Beckham!"

After Sophie Marceau finished speaking, Beckham smiled and went to the stage to receive the award. He was obviously mentally prepared. He was defeated in front of Li Tie. Although he won the league and FA Cup double, he was still incomparable with Li Tie.

"It is a great pleasure to come to Paris to participate in this ceremony. This is my affirmation. In the past season, we have experienced a lot. The most important thing is to regain the Premier League championship. Next, I would like to congratulate my friend Li Tie. His achievements are obvious to all. He is very young and has extraordinary achievements in the future."

Beckham's speech was sunny, and he mentioned Li Tie at the end, obviously very optimistic about Li Tie.

Sophie Marceau said with a smile: "It seems that the relationship between David and Li is very good, then we will wait and see."

After finishing speaking, he opened the second envelope, showed a surprised expression, and let out an oh.

Beckham on the side also opened his mouth in surprise.

"This year's European Footballer of the Year selection No.2 is Li Tie!"

As soon as Sophie finished reading, the audience began to discuss.

No one expected this result.

Li Tie was also taken aback, but he quickly stood up and walked onto the stage.

"Li, please give your acceptance speech." Sophie Marceau shook hands with Li Tie, but unexpectedly, Li Tie hugged her suddenly and kissed her on the cheek.

This made Sophie Marceau laugh at herself: "It seems that our oriental hero also has a tender side."

Li Tie naturally relieved the disappointment in his heart. Damn it, he let himself come to Paris to make himself ugly.

There has long been an uproar outside, thinking that he is the favorite of this year's double footballer, who knows that he will be humiliated today.

"Thank you to the organizing committee, thank you to the judges, I have nothing to say about this, congratulations Rivaldo!"

Li Tie said a few words briefly, and immediately stepped back.

Beckham wanted to say something but couldn't.

Seeing Rivaldo who was arranging his suit under the stage, Li Tie almost went down and kicked him.

My own Triple Crown is not as good as someone else's La Liga champion, how can I justify this?
