Inter won three consecutive league wins with a 3-0 win over Parma.
In the match with Parma, although Balotelli didn't score on the bench, the last two goals of Inter are related to Balotelli. Balotelli's breakthrough is a useful supplement to Inter's tactics.
After the game, Italian journalists and fans all clamored that Balotelli should be allowed to start the Champions League game in the middle of the week. They thought Balotelli could play as a winger and form a trident with Milito and Eto'o.
But he didn't think Balotelli was qualified, and he criticized Balotelli impolitely in front of reporters. "Mario did well in some times, but at the same time, he forgot tactics, defense and discipline. If he wants to start, he has to improve in many ways! "
Then he gave several examples of Balotelli's poor performance on the pitch.
In the 75th minute, Balotelli was robbed by biabiani in front of the ball, but Balotelli didn't fight back. Instead, he stood in the same place and complained to the referee, letting the opponent's biabiani run 30 meters and instigate a counterattack.
In the 80th minute, Balotelli made a detour back to the left to form a breakthrough. Under the premise of many teammates' outflanking, he chose to force himself to play alone and shoot aimlessly.
In the 87th minute, Balotelli made a breakthrough on the right side to form a 2-2 fast break. On the premise that Milito's middle had run empty to face the empty goal, Balotelli chose to hit the goal from a small angle
In the final stoppage time of the game, Gao Xiaodong's straight ball Let Balotelli form a chance to face the goalkeeper. Balotelli didn't have any opponents around him. There was also a problem with goalkeeper Mirant's position. Most of the empty goals were left to Balotelli.
However, Balotelli did not shoot, but had to use the "bicycle" to cross the goalkeeper. In the end, he swayed a few times in the same place, but did not shake the goalkeeper Mirante. Mirante saved the ball and missed the chance to score.
"It's not about Balotelli's ability, it's all about his attitude," he told reporters. Today's opponent is only Parma, which will not affect the situation. But what if it's Barcelona? If he doesn't want to fight back, which leads Messi to rush to fight back; if he had a chance to break the goal with a single shot, but was saved by the Barcelona goalkeeper What are the consequences? "
what he said silenced reporters and fans. Even the most determined fans of Balotelli have to admit that Balotelli can't start in the match with the defending champion.
After criticizing Balotelli, he told reporters not to hype the match with Barcelona. It's just an ordinary Champions League group match, not a knockout match. Whether Inter can qualify from the group does not depend on the match with Barcelona, but on the matches with Dynamo Kiev and Rubin Kazan.
Obviously, this is insincere. The match between Barcelona and Inter Milan will never be an ordinary match. In addition to the collision between the two giants, this game also involves inter coach Jose, the main forward Gao Xiaodong, the main striker Eto'o, new midfield player Motta and Barcelona. In Barcelona, Ibrahimovic will return to meiacha to face his old club. With such resentment, the game is obviously not ordinary.
After the match, the defeat of Parma by Inter Milan was completely ignored by the Italian media. What everyone commented and talked about was the Champions League opponent Barcelona.
"La Gazzetta dello Sport" reviewed the history of the battle between inter and Barcelona in detail. The two sides met twice in the Champions League. In the 2002-03 season, Barcelona drew 0-0 at home and 3-0 at home; Barcelona met four times in the UEFA Cup, two wins, one draw and one loss; in the knockout of the 58th season, Barcelona were 4-0 at home and 4-2 at home Inter Milan: in the 69-70 season, Barcelona met Inter Milan again in the knockout match, with Barcelona 1-2 at home and 1-1 at away. Barcelona beat inter 5-0 at home in the 42nd gamber cup on August 29, 2007.
From the historical record point of view, Barcelona has an absolute advantage over Inter Milan, and also played a few big score games, but there is no grudge between the two clubs, the grudge between the two clubs still comes from the players and the coach.
Internazionale coach Jose Mourinho has the deepest grudge with Barcelona. He thinks he is the assistant of Barcelona, but Barca people don't admit it. They think he is just a small translator of Barcelona.
After taking charge of Chelsea, he finally had a dialogue with Barcelona. In the three dialogues, Chelsea and Barcelona eliminated their opponents once respectively, and their achievements were equal. However, after Chelsea eliminated Barcelona, they got nothing, while Barcelona eliminated cersi and won the championship.
In addition, because of the accusation of Messi's diving, Barcelona coach Rijkaard contacted with referee Haug, resulting in the retirement of Haug, which made Barcelona fans hate him even more.
Inter's striker Eto'o and Barcelona's grudge is no less than that of Jose.
Barcelona made Eto'o, but because of Eto'o's big mouth and competing with Messi for the top spot, Barcelona swept Eto'o out of the door in a very shameful way. A player who has been in the top three of the Golden Globe Award has been transferred to Inter Milan as an addition to Ibrahimovic. This is unbearable for the arrogant Eto'o, who is eager to prove himself in front of Barcelona every day.Motta, who came from the youth training team of Barcelona, didn't have a foothold in Barcelona and was sold to Serie A. of course, he is eager to hit his old club in the face and tell them that he sold himself wrong.
Another one who has a grudge with Barcelona is Inter's high midfield player.
After Gao Xiaodong's debut, it was almost plain sailing, but in the Champions League final, he fell on Barcelona. Porto, led by him, was not only swept by Barcelona with four goals, but also got a red card. Gao Xiaodong is sure to take revenge for his revenge.
In terms of Barcelona, Ibrahimovic has become the main force of Barcelona from the king of Inter Milan. When he returns to the meacha stadium, Ibrahimovic of course has to prove his loyalty to his new club and that he is worthy of more than 60 million worth and tens of millions of annual salary.
Although the coach and key players of Inter Milan are holding their breath to beat Barcelona and prove themselves, no media or fans are optimistic about Inter Milan.
Since the rise of the 0405 season, Barcelona is the best team in the world. In three years, they have won the Champions League twice and are known as the European dream team and cosmos team. However, Inter Milan have not won the Champions League for 44 years. They have not been in the last eight in four years, the last four in seven years and the final in 38 years. It is a complete failure.
Even if there is a madman who is in charge against cosmos, who can be optimistic about a group of old and weak Inter Milan.
