Chapter 634

On the morning of April 20, the Italian city of Milan once again became the focus of attention of the world's fans.

In order to witness Inter's challenge against Barcelona, fans of inter gathered from all over the world to the fashion capital of Milan three days ago. By April 20, more than 60000 foreign fans had come to Milan.

The meacha stadium can only accommodate 85000 people. If the local fans in Italy are included, at least more than 10000 of the 60000 foreign fans do not have tickets. However, this does not hinder the enthusiasm of the fans. Many fans hope to be closer to the players even if they can not enter the stadium.

With the revival of Inter Milan, in recent seasons, the great inter era heroes such as Suarez, Corso and others will come to watch Inter's Champions League knockout match, but whether it is against the strong team or the weak team, inter are defeated, which makes Inter's elders very disappointed.

After defeating Rubin Kazan in the last round of the group stage of this season, Inter Milan's Champions League record has equalled the European record in the international era. The original record was set from September 1963 to March 1964. After that, they equalled the record three times from April 1964 to February 1965, from March 1998 to August 1998, and from October to December 2007, but they still can't surpass it.

As the saying goes, there is no more than three things. Although Inter's opponent is the powerful Barcelona this time, Inter's famous players think that Inter can break the record of winning the Champions League in 46 years.

Luis Suarez, the team captain of the era of Inter Milan, told Inter Channel: "the victory of Jose's team over Chelsea and the central army is convincing. Compared with the performance of the teams in the past few seasons, people obviously believe that Inter will create a better era this season. Of course, the semi-finals will be more difficult for the team, but I believe the boys are ready. It's always like this in the Champions League. When you can beat many strong teams, you will be able to win the Champions League

"I will go to the scene to support the team. The match against Barcelona needs to focus on Gao Xiaodong and Eto'o. if Gao Xiaodong gets enough support and gives full play to his ability, he can completely defeat Messi. There is no doubt that Gao Xiaodong is the source of Inter's victory

Nicknamed "pin" legendary striker Alto Bailey also believes that Messi is not so terrible. "Barcelona's squad is really strong, Messi's recent performance is also quite brilliant, but Inter don't have to be afraid of him, Cambiasso and Lucio, there will be enough ways to limit his penetration. As far as the overall strength is concerned, inter are better than Barcelona in a few links. Therefore, when Barcelona play Inter, each side has half the chance to win. It is not necessarily that Barcelona will win more

"It's not easy for Inter to return to the semi-finals seven years later, which shows that the team's work has finally achieved results," said Sandro Mazzola, a witness of the brilliant era of big international and now commentator of sky sports. I think the match with Barcelona will start 5-5. Inter is not without worries. Now inter and the beginning of the season have changed a lot. Especially after inter double killed Barcelona's nemesis, Chelsea, they will be the opponents that Barcelona fear most. In addition, the confrontation in the group match also enables him to fully understand Barcelona. For a coach of his level, he will have sufficient Countermeasures after understanding the opponent. He will bring us the most ideal results

The last four great international stars all said they would go to the meacha stadium to support Inter Milan in making new history.

When the fans poured into Milan City, Jose and Guardiola attended the pre match press conference held by UEFA.

Because the two sides tore their faces in front of the battle of words, they were expressionless when they met. They just shook hands symbolically, and neither of them looked at each other more.

"We are ready to change the history of the Champions League," he told reporters. This is a different team in spirit, with confidence and strength. Now we are inter in the Champions League. No matter what the result of the semi-final, inter will be confident to welcome next season's Champions League. Even if we don't win this year, inter will win the Champions League in the next few years

"We are the only team in Europe that still has a chance to win the league, the cup and the Champions League treble. It's a different inter than before, but now we want to win more. All my players deserve applause

"I never think about winning streak. It's not interesting. We have only two dreams now: one is to reach the Champions League final and the other is to win the Champions League. Personally, this is the fourth time I've led the team to the semi-final of the Champions League. I've won once, lost once on penalties, and lost once on a goal that wasn't a goal. Now let's wait and see this one. "

Guardiola said little and directly provoked Jose.

"It's a tough game, the opponents are very strong, they have excellent players in every position, especially the defense is very solid, the counterattack is very sharp, we want to beat them must show the best form, but we believe that as long as inter don't play the iron barrel, we will winBut Jose is not deceived, he just sneered sarcastically said: "some coaches have great power, they not only interfere in UEFA referee candidates, but also guide the opponent's play, I think such a coach should not be a coach, they should run for UEFA president."

Guardiola was speechless by Jose. He felt that he could not compare with him verbally. He simply kept his mouth shut and left him to sing a monologue.

After the pre match press conference, inter had their last training at the pinetina training base in the afternoon, and then the team went to the meacha stadium by bus.

At the moment, the meacha stadium has become a sea of blue and black. In the Nerazzurri group with blue and Black Jerseys and scarves everywhere, Barcelona's red and blue are just like waves in the sea, and the meacha stadium has become an island in the blue sea.

There are too many fans. The stadium was opened three hours ago, allowing the fans to enter ahead of time.

An hour before the game, the stands were full, but fans were still pouring in on the roads leading to the meacha stadium.

"The last ticket! Last ticket! Hold on

"Do you want tickets? I have tickets here! "

"Tickets, tickets! The price is cheap! One thousand euro! The game will start soon! If you don't buy any more, there won't be any more! "

……

Swindlers, scalpers are holding tickets hoarse yelling, hoping to rub the heat of the game to make a small fortune, and some from afar in the Nerazzurri group, although skeptical, but the crazy love of Inter Milan or hoodwinked their brains, many people or out of the money to buy sky high price tickets, some really into the stadium, but also some fans bought a cheat to sell fake The swindlers go around and yell at the tickets, and look for them.

30 minutes before the game, the stadium is almost full, few ordinary fans enter, only some football stars and celebrities enter the stadium sporadically, and their arrival also causes the fans' commotion and cheers from time to time.

At 8:30 p.m., the warm-up players went back to the dressing room, leaving only the substitutes playing on the sidelines. Ten minutes later, 22 main players came out of the dressing room again under the leadership of Portuguese referee benrenca. The third game of this season between Inter Milan and Barcelona also opened.
