The Day I Played with Ronaldo

On the evening of February 2, Inter Milan beat Lazio 2:0 at Meazza and won tickets to the top four of the Coppa Italia.

Ricciardo provided an assist in the game but was substituted in the 65th minute with a sprained ankle.

After the diagnosis after the game, his deltoid ligament was contused and he would miss 7-10 days of the game.

If he recovers well, he should be able to catch up with the Italian national derby against Juventus.

On February 5th, without Ricardo, Inter Milan played at home and beat Chievo 1-0. But in the away game against Fiorentina on February 9, they unexpectedly lost 1:2 to their opponents.

"This is not a typical Inter Milan," Gazzetta dello Sport commented, "Unknowingly, Ricardo has become the core of Inter Milan's attack. When he is not on the field, Inter Milan is very chaotic. Adriano The state is good and bad, Figo has passed his playing years, Martins is too young and lacks the ability to make a final decision, Cruz is always better than ever as a substitute, and the new aid Rico is not yet capable of changing the situation...less Without Ricciardo, this Inter Milan team can't run well."

The Turin Sports News said: "In the absence of Ricardo, Inter Milan finally lost the chain. But Juventus did not seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. They were tied 1:1 by Parma in the away game and currently have 61 points. Points, still 1 point behind Inter Milan."

"In the next game, Juventus will have a direct dialogue with Inter Milan. This game is likely to determine the Serie A championship this season. Juventus is facing a disadvantageous situation, and neither Zebina nor Zambrotta can play in the defense. .And whether Ricardo can recover from injury in time may be the key to this game."

In addition to discussing the upcoming Italian national derby, there are also some discordant voices in the newspapers. An article questioned some of Juventus' game results and believed that there was suspicion of match-fixing.

Moratti and others also said in an interview, "Juventus can always encounter judgments in their favor in the game."

in another time and space,

The explosion of the phone door was in May. Ricardo didn't know if he would change this incident, he could only try his best to help the team score more points and avoid this incident.

Calciopoli did not complete Inter Milan. Although Inter Milan won consecutive championships after Calciopoli and even won the Triple Crown in 2010, it appeared against the background of the overall decline of Serie A.

After 2010, Inter Milan also suffered from the decline of Serie A.

There are no beneficiaries in the Calciopoli incident, all Italian teams are victims.

...

Ricardo's injury has almost recovered, and he has already participated in the team's joint training.

The morale of the team is high this time, and they will have a showdown with Juventus at home.

At the press conference before the game, Mancini made a fuss and said: "Ricardo's injury is not optimistic, and it will be difficult for him to play in tomorrow's game. We have a plan for this. Even without Ricardo, we can still play. A great game."

"Ibrahimovic will bring us a huge threat in the game. He is a talented player. I admire him very much. I hope to have the opportunity to coach him."

"Vieira is a player who can influence the game. He can make a great contribution defensively and offensively. Tomorrow we will do everything possible to cut him off from other Juventus players."

"Moratti's words? I agree. Not only this season, but for a long time, Juventus has always been the party that benefits from the penalty. Every season they get more than a dozen points because of it. I don't know why. , Maybe their luck is better. I hope that in tomorrow's game, I can get a fair environment." Mancini wanted to put pressure on the Italian Football Association, tomorrow's referee Papa Lesta is considered to be One of the referees who likes to make judgments in favor of Juventus. In the last Italian national derby, he also made some unfavorable judgments against Inter Milan.

Capello replied: "Every point of Juventus is the result of the hard work of the boys. Robert is a good man. He was a great player in his player days. Now he is an excellent head coach. Respect him, but he shouldn't say such baseless things. If he can't show evidence, he shouldn't speak out."

"Whether Ricardo plays or not, we are ready. Although Ricardo is very young, he is already a great player who can change the situation of the game. I will not take him lightly. Even if he is not at his best , can also pose a huge threat to us."

"The away game will be very difficult, but we have enough mental preparation. This Inter Milan is no better than last season. They lack Ronaldo. Everyone knows how great Ronaldo is. Inter Milan without Ronaldo is nothing to fear."

"We will play our own football and will not deliberately make any adjustments to Inter Milan. I believe in the quality of the team and our ability to win the championship."

Amidst the noise, the game time is approaching. By around 2 o'clock in the evening on February 12, more than 70,000 fans had poured into the Meazza Stadium, and the number was still increasing.

On the square outside the stadium, there are still a large number of fans who have not bought tickets. They hold placards and wave blue and black scarves in the cold wind, hoping to convey their support for the team to the stadium.

In the home team locker room.

"How important this game is, I don't think I need to say more, gentlemen," Mancini looked around the players, "Whether you can defend the title this season depends on this battle."

The locker room was dead silent. Ricardo felt a little uneasy. The players are already nervous enough, but Mancini is still increasing everyone's tension, which seems inappropriate.

Excessive tension is not a good thing for competitive sports. It will narrow people's attention, affect judgment, and deform people's movements.

Mancini also seemed to realize that something was wrong, and added: "Our fight against Juventus in the past two seasons has generally been dominant. As long as we can play at a true level, they are not our opponents."

"Yes," Captain Zanetti said, "we're going to beat them today!"

Mancini nodded with satisfaction and continued: "But everyone should be careful of the referee on the field today. Although it is our home court, Papa Lesta often made judgments biased towards Juventus in past games. This is a Fact. I hope everyone stay calm on the field, don’t make too much action, especially in the penalty area, don’t argue with the referee, and keep calm even if there is a penalty that is not good for us.”

He raised his wrist and looked at his watch, and said, "Let them taste our strength. Tonight, tell them who is the master of this stadium!"
