Chapter 117 Good News and Bad News

On May 5, the Olympic Stadium in Rome.Inter Milan, who didn't want to lose all four, gambled everything and faced Palermo for the last bit of glory.

Palermo had only entered the Coppa Italia final in two seasons, 1974 and 1979, but never won the trophy.So in this game, they also have high morale and strive to achieve a zero breakthrough.

In the just-concluded Serie A, Palermo ranked 8th, only 2 points behind Juventus.To achieve such a record, their head coach Rossi contributed a lot, and Palermo's team is also full of strong players, including Cassani, Balzaretti, Riverani, Nocerino, and Miccoli. There are also stars of hope such as Pastore, Sirigu, Ezequiel Munoz, and Abel Hernandez.

Although judging from the strength on paper, they are far behind the defending champion Inter Milan, but the major media feel that Palermo can bring a lot of trouble to Inter Milan in the game.

that's the truth.

Shi Hao, who was sitting on the bench, watched the stalemate situation on the court, and tried his best not to yawn.

Sneijder suffered a slight injury in the last league game. Although the problem was not serious, it can be seen that he was not running smoothly on the field today, frowning and pausing from time to time.

Sneijder's misfire made the entire Inter Milan midfield a little out of control. Motta, Stankovic and Cambiasso all have certain organizational skills, but they are not as good as Sneijder, and the last pass is also far away. Far worse, the double forwards Milito and Eto'o have little to do in the frontcourt.So the game played for 10 minutes, and Inter Milan has not opened up the situation.

On the contrary, the defense led by Lucio and Chivu made several mistakes in cooperation today, and Palermo was almost defeated by Palermo.

Nagatomo Yudo, who scored a goal in the last game, continued to start and appeared in the left back position, while captain Zanetti returned to the familiar right back position.

With the passage of time, the powerful Inter Milan finally gradually gained the upper hand, and the immature Pastore was still unable to get cheap from Cambiasso's feet for the time being.

On the contrary, Miccoli, who has passed his thirties, has repeatedly found gaps between Lucio and Chivu, who have begun to decline, with his dexterity and excellent foot skills, threatening Inter Milan's goal several times.

身高1米88的卢西奥和身高1米84的齐沃却频频被身高1米68的米科利戏耍，也是尴尬得不行。

In the 34th minute of the game, Sneijder finally shined. His assist allowed Eto'o to open the scoring, and the game began to enter the rhythm of Inter Milan.

In the second half, Inter Milan deliberately slowed down the pace. With their strong midfield control, Palermo was exhausted.

In the 58th minute, Eto'o made another victory and Inter Milan led 2:0.

But then Miccoli took advantage of Chivu's mistake and fell to the ground in the small penalty area to get back a point.

The house leak happened to rain overnight, and Sneijder was seriously injured in a fight and applied for a substitution.Leonardo's eyes slowly swept across the bench, and finally stopped on Shi Hao: "Shi, warm up now."

I'm sorry, Mistress, I didn't curse you... Shi Hao got up silently and began to warm up, trying not to let a smile appear on his face.

In the 64th minute, Shi Hao came off the bench and brought Leonardo's latest instructions: the change was 4231, Milito stepped forward, Eto'o changed to the left winger position, Shi Hao changed to the right winger position, Stankovic position move forward.

Due to injuries, Stankovic, who played very few games this season, was eager to show that he was still alive in front of the coaches and fans, so he played a little impatiently, which made Inter Milan's midfielder show signs of weakness after Sneijder left the field. some confusion.

But Stankovic quickly used two high-quality long-range shots to make people forget his poor performance in offensive organization. Although he didn't score a goal, he made Sirigu break out in cold sweat.

But Shi Hao ran into trouble after playing.Opposing him is Balzaretti, a 28-year-old Italian player who has been selected for the Italian U20 youth team, but has never been selected for the adult national team.But this season his performance is excellent, and he is very hopeful to represent the Azzurri in next year's European Cup.

The characteristic of this player is that he has no characteristics.The speed is average, a bit slower than Shi Hao, but not too slow.It's not bad to be strong, at least stronger than Shi Hao.His skills are so-so, and his steals are so-so, but he, a player with no characteristics, defends against Shi Hao so much that he has nothing to say.

Whenever Shi Hao takes the ball, he sticks to it like brown sugar, uses both hands and feet, but always walks on the edge of fouling and not fouling, and the referee is not very easy to judge.

Although Shi Hao was able to get past him, he still couldn't get rid of him. After a while, he pounced on him again and continued to cause trouble for Shi Hao.

Shi Hao was pushed into a hurry by him, once he was kicked out by him, he couldn't help but raised his elbow.

"Di!"

No matter what innocent look Shi Hao made, the referee who ran over showed him a yellow card mercilessly.

Shi Hao had no choice but to walk back dejectedly, while telling himself not to be impulsive again, now there are more than 10, [-], [-] minutes before the end of the game, don't get another yellow card.

But Shi Hao is a new force after all, and Balzaretti has been running for seven to ten minutes, and his physical strength is gradually exhausted.

In the ensuing confrontation, Shi Hao, who was gradually familiar with Balzaretti's routine, began to gain the upper hand.

In the 79th minute, Shi Hao took the ball from the side and stepped on several bicycles in a row. Balzaretti just lowered his waist and slowly backed away, unmoved at all.

At this moment, Stankovic stepped forward to respond, and Shi Hao gently pushed with the arch of his right foot... Balzaretti hurriedly raised his leg to block Shi Hao's passing path, but Shi Hao's swinging leg was on top of the football Swept over, hooked the ball back with the instep, and broke through him.

Balzaretti rushed to catch up, but his speed was a little slower than Shi Hao's, and his physical strength had dropped a lot, so he was thrown further and further away by Shi Hao.

While running, Shi Hao found that Eto'o was rushing into the penalty area, and there was no one guarding him, so he quickly made a cross.

After Beckham's guidance during this period, his cross has improved again, at least the arc looks like it, and it accurately found the top of Eto'o's head.

Eto'o headed a little bit, and I don't know if he wanted to shoot or pass the ball. Anyway, the football fell a little ahead of Milito.

The new generation of the king of the small penalty area, Milito will naturally not miss this opportunity. With a slight push of the arch of his foot, the football hits the net.

In the remaining time, the two teams had no achievements. Inter Milan defeated Palermo with a score of 3:1 and successfully defended the Coppa Italia.

But because Inter Milan is going to participate in the European Cup, the cup runner-up Palermo still got a place in the Europa League.Although it is still a pity for them to fail to achieve a zero breakthrough, at least they can talk about it.

On the way back to Milan, Shi Hao received a call from Luo Yunhui.

"Dangdang, good news or bad news, which one do you want to hear first?"

Shi Hao smiled and said, "Listen first."

"The club has agreed to exchange a contract with you, with a weekly salary of 8870 euros after tax."

"Ah, it has increased by nearly ten times, amazing, big sister!" Shi Hao was very surprised, "My contract has not yet started to be implemented, so you agree to change it?"

"That's earned by your own performance," Luo Yunhui smiled, "There's also bad news."

"With this good news as a base, I can bear it, let's talk." Starting next season, his annual salary will be almost 50 euros?Do you want to swipe your credit card to buy some Hermès bags for Xi Yu?

"The bad news is..."
