ball magic

Sending John away, before Juan's bald head grew a layer of hair, Inter Milan ushered in the fourth round of Serie A and successfully advanced to the top 8 of the Europa League. So far, Inter Milan has ushered in its [-] consecutive victories since the new season !

Under the brilliance of the "double R", the Nerazzurri made a fantastic start to the season, ranking first in the league with 15 points.

But becoming the league leader is not the happiest thing for the fans. What makes the fans the happiest is their city sister AC Milan.

Milan's record is very bad, how bad is it?

In the past 4 rounds of the league, Milan has only won 1 game, and even lost to Lecce.Lecce was defeated by Inter Milan 5:1.

This comparison is unbearable for many Milan fans. They think that if the team continues like this, "the face will be lost!"

Some Milan fans chanted "Fabio OUT", but no one expected that it was Milan's chairman, Silvio Berlusconi, who endured it.

In fact, between Capello and Berlusconi has long been a little discord.

The reason is simple, Berlusconi thinks Capello is too proud, he is not the founder of the Milan dynasty, he is the chairman of the club!

Any head coach who sees Milan can reap success, commonly known as a dog crown.

Since Berlusconi is Milan's idea of ​​"leash the crown", Capello's response is to take command and leave.

But last season, Real Madrid lost the league championship and did not win in the Champions League. Deportivo won the league championship and the Copa del Rey, while Barcelona both had the UEFA Cup.

What about Real Madrid?

Nothing.

Coupled with tactical reasons, Real Madrid chairman Sanz fired Capello simply and neatly.

And Milan, which lost Capello last season, is even more horrible. There is no Milan's name in the top ten!

Berlusconi learned from the painful experience, fired Ali Gorsaki, welcomed Capello back again, and continued his relationship with him.

Originally thought that Milan and Capello could be reunited, but what happened?

A series of losing streaks and the worst start since 1959 did not allow Berlusconi to fire Capello!

Many fans were amazed, but Berlusconi was actually more tolerant than Moratti. He fired two coaches last season, but he also gave them half a season to prove themselves.Now that Capello has such a record, he can continue to endure.

Raphael is not interested in who the coach of Milan is. The only news that makes him take a closer look is actually the news that Sampidoria's coach Menotti has dismissed get out of class.

This "thin man" is the champion coach who led Argentina to win the World Cup in 78, and later had an ideological dispute with "Big Nose" Bilardo.

Raphael took a cold look and stopped paying attention to the news, although this dismissal meant Menotti bid farewell to the mainstream league.

The era of Menotti and Bilardo is over.

For Inter Milan, a new round of test comes from October 10th, and their opponent is Lazio.

After this game, the international match day will be ushered in. The Argentine BBQ Gang and Ronaldo have all been called up. They will return to South America together to fight for the World Cup South American qualifiers.

For the club coach, it is hard to predict whether the main player will participate in the national team competition and whether he will be able to return in full health.In addition, after the end of the national team match day, the Coppa Italia will be added to the schedule. After thinking about it, Robson still sent Rafael and Ronaldo to the starting list.

He's English and he's hungry for the league title.

He also knew that his boss, Moratti, was equally eager.

But for all Inter Milan players, this home game is a bit different, because the Pinetina training base has been remodeled, and they will live in the base the day before the game.

This is actually the tradition of Inter Milan, but when it comes to a veteran like Bergomi who is about to retire, and then to a young man like Zanetti who has come to Inter Milan for two or three years, after seeing the new hotel-style "dormitory", gymnasium, swimming pool And massage rooms, game rooms, and restaurants all chant, celebrate the moment!

They bid farewell to the small dormitory, which is cold in winter and hot in summer, and finally have a comfortable bed, a clean bathroom, and enough space!This means they can finally sleep comfortably before the game!

Moratti, who made a special trip to Pinettina today, also smiled contentedly at this moment. Isn't he spending so much money to renovate the base for the purpose that these players can live happily?

Players like Rafael and Ronaldo who joined Inter Milan this season and have never lived here naturally cannot understand their feelings, but who would not be happy if they can live better?

It's just that unlike Rafael, who is a bachelor, Ronaldo is dissatisfied with spending time at the base on the day before the game-he has a hot girlfriend!Emotions are honest!

But the dissatisfaction is nothing more than murmurs and grievances, and he waits for the allocation of the room honestly.

It was captain Bergomi who allocated the room, and the old captain had his own majesty.

Juan was a little bit disappointed when he found out that there was actually one room for each person, so he saw Bergomi look at Rafael first, and jokingly said, "Rafa, I heard that you are difficult to deal with, which room do you want? Let me tell you first, the one in the middle on the second floor is mine."

Amidst the laughter of most of his teammates, Raphael first glanced at Zanetti and then at Simeone. He was sure that one of the two bastards must be talking.

Zanetti blinked innocently, and Simeone blew him a kiss, which caused another round of laughter.

"Anything, but I have Pupi and Juan on my left and right," Rafael said.

Everyone suddenly showed a bewildered face. This is the first time they have seen "picking neighbors" before seeing roommates!

Raphael didn't want to explain, Zanetti laughed, "Maybe it's because we all go to bed early and get up early, and we know how to do morning exercises."

Bergomi said without hesitation: "Then you three will live together, from east to west on the second floor, Juan, Rafa, and Pupi."

Everyone has no objection to such a distribution, such as West and Ronaldo, wishing to stay far away from Rafael and the others, so as not to be disturbed by these early morning birds.

Because they don't need the so-called luggage, they checked in on the same day.

Juan also regretted to find that in addition to underwear, the staff even cleaned their sneakers, which made him lose another job.

Raphael woke up at five o'clock the next morning.

He was no longer like the days when he was just reborn, waking up on alert every day, habitually touching under the pillow, and feeling lost as if he had lost his sense of security after feeling that there was nothing there.

After waking up, he looked at the ceiling quietly for a while before getting up.

He didn't turn on the night light or desk lamp, but walked to the bathroom precisely in the dark, solved his physical problems first, and then took a simple wash before returning to the room and opening the curtains.

The scenery of Pinettina is not outstanding, but the morning here is extremely quiet, and the ubiquitous greenery makes Raphael feel refreshed.

He opened the closet, found the training clothes in the almost empty closet, put them on, and went downstairs for morning exercises.

It took about 10 minutes for Juan to join in.

Raphael glanced at his dark circles and confirmed that the guy didn’t sleep well last night.

Zanetti was a few minutes later than Juan, but he looked relaxed and greeted them with a smile, obviously sleeping well.

Raphael gave him a deep look.

Being a player is actually very hard work.

On the previous home game day, they did not need to be closed and trained before the game, which means that they can still spend time with their families.But as the Pinetina training base has been rebuilt, the terrifying schedule of double or even triple matches a week has arrived, and they may only be able to go home for one or two days a week, or even no time for one or two days.

So a lot of players don't like the pre-game training camp, but that's their job.

But Zanetti is obviously different, although he has a childhood sweetheart girlfriend, the two are currently living together.

They returned to their room after morning exercise and made an appointment to go to the restaurant together.

Raphael went back to the room to take a shower again, let's take his face seriously, and honestly dried his hair out of impatience.

After he finished tidying up and tied up his long hair, he walked out of the room and saw Zanetti and Juan standing in front of the stairs waiting for him.

Because Raphael usually doesn't talk much, so Juan and Zanetti chatted casually on the road, and talked about today's opponent - Lazio.

Rafael was not surprised by this kind of "gossip" between men, listening to the two of them casually commenting on today's opponents, until he heard them commenting on Nedved.

"This guy is actually a bit tricky," Zanetti said. "The last time they played against Milan, they were still trailing after 93 minutes. His performance in the penalty area was amazing."

Juan was also impressed by this scene, because it only happened last month, Nedved's "performance" won a penalty for Lazio, and Maldini, who wore the captain's armband after Baresi retired, protested For a long time, but as a midfielder, Juan's evaluation is, "He is a bit like Mendieta-Valencia's Mendieta."

Raphael gave Juan an approving look.

There is a reason why Juan commented on Nedved in this way, the future Mr. Golden Ball.Because Nedved, like Mendieta, is also one of the few "side midfielders" in this era, but the two are active in different positions.

It’s just that it’s different from Mendieta’s style of play, which is more elegant and more inclined towards organizers. Nedved from Eastern Europe is balanced on both feet and can work on both sides, which also leads to him being able to pass with his left foot and cut inside with his right foot. Shooting, not only is it impossible to run on the field, but also has a large coverage area, excellent mid-range and long-range passes, and has strong mental attributes.

Saying that he is a man of steel, few people may be qualified to object.

But Raphael just gave Juan a look and didn't say much.

Because the time is fair, just as the Mendieta he played against in Deportivo is not the peak version of Mendieta, the current Nedved is not the best Nedved.

But it doesn't matter, Raphael will not belittle his opponent, or reduce his interest and excitement in the game——

Because he knows very well that the current Raphael is not the strongest Raphael!
