Super Marshal

Entering May, the European professional leagues are also coming to an end.

But Inter Milan's schedule is more intensive than before.

After playing the Champions League semi-finals, the Nerazzurri will not only continue to cope with the weekly Serie A match, but also play two Italian Cup finals in midweek, against Roma away and at home.

The Champions League final is scheduled for May 23, which happens to be between the 37th and 38th rounds of Serie A.

After winning the Serie A title early, Gao Han began to increase efforts to promote young players in the league. Bonucci, Hamsik, Marchisio, Pandev and other players almost started every game, which allowed the main players to go out with better physical fitness. Cope with the Champions League and Coppa Italia matches.

After defeating Liverpool at home and Messina in the league at the weekend, Inter Milan went south to Rome.

In the first leg of the Italian Cup final, Roma successfully froze Inter Milan's offense in the first half, but at the beginning of the second half, the Nerazzurri relied on Adriano and Ibrahimovic to score in the 50th. And a goal in the fifty-sixth minute, leading 2-0.

But in the 71st minute, Cordoba made an unnecessary foul and was sent off by the referee with a red card.

Roma then launched a counterattack, and Perrotta equalized the score in the 81st minute.

But perhaps for the sake of finding balance, the referee decisively showed a red card when Panucci fouled Cristiano Ronaldo on a sliding tackle before the end of the game. The reason was that Panucci moved too much.

Both sides played fifty boards each, and the referee's law enforcement was quite satisfactory.

After defeating Lazio 4-1 at home over the weekend, Inter Milan returned to home for the second leg.

Sitting at the Meazza Stadium, Inter Milan launched a lightning-fast offensive from the beginning, and in the 11th minute, Veron took the lead in breaking through the Roma goal.

After that, the Nerazzurri launched a wave of offensive. Ibrahimovic and Adriano scored two goals in the 17th and 19th minutes respectively, taking an early 3-0 lead.

But what really caused Roma to collapse was the second half. Just at the beginning, Figo scored two goals in the 45th and 49th minutes, helping Inter Milan further expand the score to 5-0.

Roma was defeated, while Inter Milan's morale was high. Veron and Evra scored goals successively, further rewriting the score to 7-0. Roma only scored a goal just before the end of the game. De Rossi pulled a goal back.

The final score was seven to one.

Inter Milan won the Italian Cup with a total score of 9 to 2!

This is also the second heavyweight championship trophy won by Inter Milan after the Serie A championship.

At this point, the eyes of fans all over the world have turned to the Olympic Stadium in Greece a week later.

"Hello, who are you?"

The next morning, on the way to the Pinetina training base in Lake Como, Gao Han received a call and pressed the earphone to answer it.

"Gao Han, it's me." The voice of club president Facchetti came from the earphones.

"Oh, Giacinto, it's you, why so early?" Gao Han asked with a smile.

The person on the phone laughed twice, "I have something to discuss with you. Have you arrived in Pinetina?"

Gao Han looked around and said, "We'll be there in ten minutes."

He travels on this road almost every day, and his time estimation is quite accurate.

"Well, let's go directly to Pinetina and wait for you."

"Well, okay, see you later."

After hanging up the phone, Gao Han couldn't help but wonder, what happened?

But as the club's head coach, he also knows that there are too many things involved in managing a professional club, especially now that the Champions League final is approaching, and the club management has even more things to negotiate with him.

As for what happened, we will know when the time comes.

Gao Han suppressed his curiosity and concentrated on driving. He arrived at the Pinetina training base eight minutes on time.

"Good morning, Mr. Gao Han." The security guard on duty at the door greeted him warmly and opened the door.

Gao Han nodded politely, "Good morning."

"Mr. Facchetti and Blanca have already arrived and should be waiting for you in the office."

"Okay, thank you." Gao Han thanked him, but he couldn't help but murmur in his heart that it came so quickly.

It is estimated that when they made the call, they were already at the Pinetina training base.

After parking the car, carrying his things, Gao Han went straight to the training building.

As soon as he got closer, he heard the familiar sound of kicking a ball from the direction of the training ground.

This immediately made Gao Han's hurried pace slow down a bit, especially when he walked to the training building and simply stopped to watch.

On the training ground, Cristiano Ronaldo came to the team early as usual and practiced free kicks on his own. Judging from the scattered balls in the half, he should have been here for a while.

Free kicks are a skill that makes perfect with practice, and require free kickers to insist on training every day. However, since free kicks are generally not included in the usual training items, free kicks can only be practiced by the free kickers themselves, which requires free kickers to practice self-discipline.

Therefore, generally speaking, players who take free kicks well usually have better self-discipline.

Cristiano Ronaldo has been practicing free kicks for a long time, but Inter Milan has many free kick experts. Veron, Figo, Adriano and Recoba are all good players in this area. , so for a long time, the Portuguese did not get many free throw opportunities.

Judging from the free throw efficiency in the past period, it still needs to be improved.

At the very least, this kid has never scored a direct free kick so far.

However, it can be seen that he is very determined, so he has been working hard and practicing without interruption.

But Gao Han saw more from the expression on the Portuguese's face.

In the past two years, Cristiano Ronaldo has been one of Inter Milan's most stable scorers, which has also allowed the Portuguese to rank with Kaká and Messi as the three most promising superstars of the new generation at a young age. one.

But since the knockout rounds of the Champions League quarter-finals, his status has been ups and downs. Whether it was against Liverpool in the two legs of the semi-finals or Roma in the two legs of the Coppa Italia final, he failed to score for the team.

Needless to say, the two rounds against Liverpool were frozen by Arbeloa in the first round and Finnan in the second round. Cristiano Ronaldo was criticized by fans and the media after the game.

When he played against Roma in the Coppa Italia final, his situation became even more embarrassing, especially in the 7-1 home game against Roma. Among the seven goals, not one was scored by Cristiano Ronaldo, not even an assist.

This further pushed the Portuguese to the forefront.

How big your fame is and how much attention you receive, how uncomfortable the controversy that comes with it will be.

As the media dug deep into reports, Cristiano Ronaldo's love life was also dug up. Many people began to suspect that his sluggish state was related to his frequent changes of girlfriends, so many people began to bombard him. .

Gao Han also came forward to defend him many times, but it was difficult to stop the rumors from the outside world.

But Gao Han is very sure that Cristiano Ronaldo's condition is not bad.

Arbeloa was given a red card against Liverpool, and Finnan was almost tortured to death by him. Panucci was also given a red card against Roma, which caused the massacre in the second round of Inter Milan.

It can be said that Cristiano Ronaldo's performance was not too bad, but he became the target of the opponent's focus during the game, so his performance was naturally not very good. After all, his opponent was not a fuel-efficient lamp.

But precisely because of this, Ibrahimovic and Adriano received less defensive pressure.

As a head coach, Gao Han will not ignore Cristiano Ronaldo's contributions like fans and media do.

"Hey, Cristiano." Gao Han walked over and shouted through the barbed wire fence.

On the training ground, Cristiano Ronaldo took a high-quality free kick, but it hit the crossbar and bounced back. His expression looked very depressed.

Hearing Gao Han's shout, the Portuguese immediately looked over and waved to say hello, "Boss, you are here."

"It's almost time, let's take a rest." Gao Han suggested.

Cristiano Ronaldo smiled and said, "Twenty more."

It is estimated that he has arranged a fixed amount for himself every day, and he will not stop until this amount is reached.

"Well, remember to clean up the place later. We will train here this morning."

"Understood." The Portuguese nodded.

"Oh, by the way, there's more." Gao Han suddenly remembered, "You have a rest for the weekend game."

The Portuguese was stunned for a moment and could not recover for the time being.

"Recharge your batteries, I'm looking forward to your performance in the Champions League final midweek."

Cristiano Ronaldo stared at Gao Han, not knowing what he should say.

He understood what Gao Han meant, and he also knew that the head coach had complete trust in him.

Not to mention outsiders, even he himself is not very satisfied with the recent state.

Psychologist Dr. Steve Peters told him that this was caused by his too impatient mentality. It is normal for players to have ups and downs in their status, and they should not put too much psychological pressure on themselves.

However, he still felt anxious.

"Boss, I..."

Gao Han didn't let him go on and interrupted him with a wave of his hand, "There are some things that don't need to be said. Your task is to prepare well. It is the Champions League final. You failed to be the protagonist last time. I hope you can get your wish this time."

Cristiano Ronaldo nodded vigorously.

He has been waiting for this day for four years.

He has never forgotten the scene when he won the Champions League with Atletico Madrid.

He also told himself countless times in his heart that he must work hard to step onto the championship throne again.

Moreover, you must be the protagonist.

Watching the head coach Gao Han turn around and leave, Cristiano Ronaldo suddenly felt something in the corners of his eyes. He didn't know if he was sweating, but he felt like crying.

Gao Han understands him, and he is willing to die for Gao Han.

But he quickly turned away and continued his free kick training.

There were still twenty more, and he had to finish them before everyone arrived, and he had to clean up the place.

When the banging sound of kicking was heard again on the training ground, Gao Han was already on the second floor.

When he saw Cristiano Ronaldo starting training again, he smiled slightly. He never doubted the Portuguese's determination and fighting spirit, just as he firmly believed that with Cristiano Ronaldo's talent and unremitting efforts, The Portuguese is not destined to be a loser.

He will definitely become a superstar that attracts worldwide attention, Gao Han thought with great certainty.

When he walked into the head coach's office, he saw Facchetti and Blanca already waiting for him inside.
