Chapter 315 Injury Frenzy
"Do you know how long I've been waiting for you?!"

Rosie's furious voice came through the microphone, and the unlucky Caesar was about to comfort her when he heard "beep beep" from the microphone.

As soon as he landed, Caesar quickly took out his mobile phone to make a call, but the phone was dead.When he got home, recharged the battery and called again, it was already 2 o'clock in the morning.

"Shit" Caesar threw the phone aside and fell asleep depressed.

Benitez also came home, but he couldn't sleep.

The team's loss to Tottenham is not the end of the world. After all, there are still two games left, and Inter Milan has little problem.

It's just that Muntari's injury made Benitez's bad mood even more irritated. The team has suffered a wave of injuries recently. Except for Muntari today, Cambiasso, Stankovic, Cesar and Mariga are all injured.

What's more troubling is that most of these people are candidates for Inter Milan's midfielder position. Once they are injured, only Zanetti can be used.

If it weren't for the stretched formation, Benitez would not have sent a 4-1-4-1 adventurous formation.

Moreover, Milito complained that he was too tired after the Tottenham game, and the team doctor also informed Benitez after the examination that Now Milito needs to rest.

"Damn, damn Moratti, if you didn't buy someone." Benitez rubbed his temple worriedly, I'm afraid today will be another sleepless night.

Inter Milan's age structure is inherently unreasonable. Whether it is the main force or the substitute, they are all too old.Moreover, after leaving Eto'o, Milito and Sneijder's condition declined, and the offense was constipated. The situation that Benitez took over is really a mess.

If Benitez thinks this is the darkest moment, then he is wrong, Inter Milan's injury wave is not over yet.

In the 10th round of the league, Inter Milan played against Brescia at home.

The team hopes to get out of the shadow of the Champions League defeat. Brescia, which has lost 5 consecutive league games, is the ideal target to score points.

To win the league championship, three points like this must be firmly won.

Because of the injuries of Muntari and Stankovic, Benitez only has Zanetti available.But he did not let Chivu move forward to fill the vacancy, but continued to adopt a 4-1-4-1 formation.

Caesar, Sneijder, Coutinho and Pandev started together, with Biabiani as the striker.

Cesar was also unable to play, and Castellazzi, who replaced him, represented Inter Milan in the league for the first time.

Coincidentally, in 2004, he helped Brescia beat Inter Milan 3-1 away, which was also the last time Brescia won at Meazza.

Whether it is Benitez or other players, they all want to vent on Brescia and get back the momentum of the championship.

As a result, after 90 minutes, the score of 1:1 caused great boos from the Meazza fans.

Benitez's face was livid. In addition to the team's offensive laxity and Biabiani's consecutive missed opportunities, the injuries of Maicon and Samuel made the team worse.

There are only three substitutions in a game. When one substitution is used for injured players, it is nothing. If there are two substitutions, it is a bit annoying.

As a result, Benitez's three substitutions were all used to replace the injured players. In addition to Maicon and Samuel, Sneijder was also recruited, because his condition seemed a bit strange.

At the beginning of the second half, Meazza fans were surprised to find that midfielder Sneijder did not appear on the field, and was replaced by teenager Obi.

Sneijder showed no signs of injury in the first half, so the fans were a little puzzled for a while. What happened in the locker room during the intermission became the question everyone wanted to figure out most.

Caesar stood on the center line and scratched his head. What happened in the locker room just now was scary enough.

Just as Benitez was laying out his tactics, Sneijder, who was sitting in his narration, suddenly turned upside down.

Caesar pushed him with his shoulder, jokingly said, "Extort people? I don't have money to blackmail you."

Benitez frowned, he played shit like shit in the first half, how dare Sneijder pretend to be crazy here? !
However, Caesar sensed something was wrong, and Sneijder's head slumped, and his whole body was pressed against him, as if he had lost consciousness.

The team doctor, who was checking Maicon's injury, pushed Caesar away, quickly put Sneijder on the same position, and told everyone to step back to make room.

Caesar and the others huddled in the corner, watching the fainted Sneijder lying there, everyone was at a loss.

Moments later, the Dutchman woke up.

"Wesley?!" Zanetti, who had a good relationship with him, breathed a sigh of relief, but the team doctor stretched out his hand to signal the players not to come over.

Caesar watched as Sneijder and the doctor whispered something, and then the doctor turned around, shrugged at Benitez, and said: "He needs to rest, he can't play anymore."

Benitez let out a long sigh and had to let the teenager Obi go out to warm up.

Caesar and the others slowly surrounded him, and Zanetti asked, "How is it?"

Sneijder shook his head, and said a few words in a low voice, which Caesar could barely hear clearly by tilting his ears.

It turned out that when Ned returned to the lounge, he suddenly felt a strong headache.He quickly sat down and applied cold compresses with ice packs, but soon after, he felt weak all over his body and his limbs were weak, and then he lost consciousness.

"It's not a big problem, is it?" Caesar asked the team doctor, who shook his head: "It's hard to say, it needs to be checked carefully."

Maybe this incident affected the mood of all the players, and they played absent-mindedly in the second half.If it weren't for Caesar to take advantage of the opponent's mistake to score a goal before the end of the game, Inter Milan might not even score a point in this game.

Players were injured and the home court was barely tied. Benitez only felt like he was cursed, and nothing went well.

The home fans are already very dissatisfied with him. Inter Milan's previous indomitable momentum in the league has disappeared, leaving Meazza fans with no hope of defending their title.

In fact, fans don't have to be pessimistic. This season's Serie A is quite tangled.Even AC Milan, which is temporarily at the top, is only 3 points ahead of Inter Milan.

Outshining the competition has turned into a crowd of heroes. No matter which team it is, it seems that it is possible to win the championship now.

In the 11th round of the league, Inter Milan drew away with Lecce and dropped to 4th in the standings, but AC Milan also failed to win this round. They tied with Lazio for the first place in the standings.

"Gazzetta dello Sport" reporter Leonardo joked that this year's Serie A league is like a mess, and it is impossible to see who is the biggest favorite to win the championship.

Caesar failed to score in this game, and Pandev helped the team open the scoring, but unfortunately the victory did not last until the end of the game.

In an interview after the game, Benitez was also asked by reporters whether he could win the championship this season.

The cunning Rafa replied: "That will not be known until the end of the next round."

"Next round?" The reporter didn't understand what he meant.

"That's right, the next round is the Milan Derby. Whoever wins will be the champion."
