The Day I Played with Ronaldo

Mancini ruthlessly kicked away a mineral water bottle on the sidelines, venting his depression.

This conceded goal really hit the morale of the Inter Milan players. Some people are still at a loss. How could they be equalized suddenly when they were leading by two goals?

What did I do wrong? What did the team do wrong?

After the re-kick-off, Inter Milan's players were still in a daze and failed to organize an effective attack.

The Juventus players seemed content to equalize the score, they became cautious and stopped aggressively attacking.

Moreover, after fighting for more than 80 minutes, everyone was tired, and both sides slowed down the rhythm in unison.

Mancini watched anxiously on the sidelines as the players under his command were advancing like headless chickens. At this time, he regretted that Adriano was replaced. Although Adriano is in poor condition, he can act as a bridgehead in the frontcourt.

And Recoba? His body is too thin to hold the ball stably in the frontcourt.

However, Recoba almost contributed to the team in his own way.

In stoppage time, Samoel assisted to the frontcourt, and when he was about to take a long shot with the ball, Nedved fouled him.

Recoba took the free kick, and the football he kicked with his left foot had a beautiful arc, hit the goalpost at one end, and bounced back into the field. Maicon dived to the top, but his header from close at hand missed.

In the end, Inter Milan had to accept the result of the draw.

When Papalesta blew his whistle three times to announce the end of the game, the players on both sides slowly walked into the locker room with unsatisfied but barely acceptable expressions.

No one is interested in swapping jerseys.

But after the Inter Milan players returned to the locker room, Emerson ran over to visit and said to Ricardo: "Piero wants your jersey."

Ricardo was a little surprised, but Emerson was a senior in his national team, so there was no need to embarrass the opponent for such a trivial matter, so he nodded and took off the jersey and handed it to Emerson.

"You played very well, keep this state, we need you in the World Cup." After saying this, Emerson didn't stay in the enemy's locker room, and hurried back to the visiting team's locker room.

After Emerson left, Mancini unceremoniously criticized the players before rushing to the press conference.

"I am satisfied with the performance of the players." Facing the media, Mancini began to defend his disciples. "A series of accidents disrupted our deployment. I don't blame them for the two conceded goals."

"Today's game, it can be seen how Juventus was taken care of by the referee in Italy." He changed the subject and began to criticize the referee on duty. Turned a blind eye. Walter's strike was blown away again. In this situation, to be able to play a draw, I think the boys have done their best."

The reporters became excited like sharks smelling blood.

"Do you think it is implied that today's referee Paparesta was bought by Juventus?"

"I didn't say that," Mancini didn't dare to admit it, otherwise he would be banned and fined by the Football Association. "I just think he has some judgments that are questionable, and Juventus has indeed benefited from these misjudgments."

"So you think Paparesta made a deliberate miscalculation?"

"I'm not him, how would I know," Mancini shrugged.

The reporter asked some more questions, hoping that Mancini would continue to speak loudly. Unfortunately, Mancini also knew that he had made a slip of the tongue before and became cautious. From the left and right, he just didn’t want to admit that he thought the referee was beaten by Juventus. Sri Lanka bought.

The reporters turned to Capello for questions.

"We deserved a draw," said Capello, scowling. "We even deserved a win. Samoel should have received a red card for his foul on Zlatan Ibrahimovic. "

"Chiellini's defense was normal. I don't think it was an action that deserved a card and a penalty. I'm not accusing Ricardo of diving, I just think it was a beautiful defense. Samoel's goal The ball process? I didn’t see it clearly, but I believe the referee made the right call.”

"Juventus' results are the result of the hard work of the boys. Those who accuse us of bribing the referees please show evidence, otherwise it is slander. I will protest to the Football Association."

On the major sports media on the second day, the peak duel between Inter Milan and Juventus undoubtedly occupied the front page.

The media also discussed several controversial shots in the game.

Everyone basically agreed that Ricardo should be given a penalty when he was tackled by Chiellini in the penalty area, and Chiellini should also receive a yellow card.

And Samoel's foul on Ibrahimovic, it is indeed not an exaggeration to give a red card.

As for Samoel's goal, it is a bit controversial, but more people think that the goal is effective.

The injuries of Ricardo and Ibrahimovic also attracted the attention of various media.

Fortunately for Ricardo, his injury was a strained deltoid ligament, and he only needed to rest for one to two weeks. Zlatan Ibrahimovic was more unlucky. He injured his Achilles tendon and had to recuperate for more than a month.

In the standings, Inter Milan has 63 points and Juventus has 62 points. The Serie A championship is still full of suspense.

On the evening of February 18th, Inter Milan challenged Livorno in an away game, and the consequences of Ricardo's absence emerged. Keely Gonzalez, who replaced Ricardo, couldn't come up with an offensive efficiency close to Ricardo's. Facing Livorno's intensive defense, Inter Milan couldn't come up with a good solution. Adriano's state Still depressed. In the end they o:o tied their opponents.

This was a good opportunity for Juventus to reverse in the standings, but Juventus also lost the chain. Without Ibrahimovic, they were tied 2:2 by Messina in the away game.

On February 23, the first round of the UEFA Champions League quarter-final match started, and Inter Milan challenged Ajax away.

Inter Milan formed a 442 formation. Before the end of the first half, they relied on Martins' goal to lead 1:0.

But after entering the second half, Ajax scored two goals in a row, putting Inter Milan at a disadvantage. At the critical moment, Ricardo and Rico came off the bench, and the team played 433 instead. In the 81st minute, Rico made a pass from the bottom, Adriano made a feint, and Ricardo shot back with an arch. Scored the goal and helped the team equalize the score.

In the end, Inter Milan and Ajax shook hands 2:2, and Inter Milan scored two valuable away goals.

In the same round, Juventus continued their poor form, losing 2:3 away to Werder Bremen, AC Milan drew 1:1 away to Bayern Munich, Arsenal lost 1:2 away to Real Madrid, Barcelona beat Chelsea 2:1 away.
