Jose and Ferguson have known each other for many years. They are both opponents and appreciate each other. They know Ferguson's character and fighting style very well. They know how much water there is in the words reported in the media. But now it is the eve of the Champions League final. Even if they know what the media said is all lies, they can't ignore it. Otherwise, it will affect the morale of inter players and fans.
Teams like Manchester United and Inter Milan have basically no difference in strength, and their tactics are well-informed. The final decision is to play on the spot. In the on-the-spot game, the seemingly illusory morale will play an important role, so Jose and Gao Xiaodong must make a strong response.
Gao Xiaodong responded to the provocations of Ferguson, Rooney and park Zhixing four times in a row on his twitter, Facebook and microblog.
"I'm a knife. I've killed Manchester United and Arsenal last season, and I've killed Chelsea and Barcelona this season. I hope Manchester United can stop me this time."
"Rooney is a great player, but I have never compared with him. I want to surpass Messi and Ronaldo all the time
"I don't care about the title of the first person in Asia, but I don't think it needs to be measured by the champion. The champion is the medal of the strong, not the shield of the weak."
"The final is just around the corner. I don't like the war of words. Let's talk with our feet on the court."
Almost at the same time, Jose also held a press conference to his old opponent Ferguson launched a counterattack.
"Manchester United are a great team. It's normal for them to make it to the final. I'm very happy to play the final game of the European league with Manchester United
"I have met Sir Alex Ferguson's team twice in the Champions League, my Porto has knocked out Manchester United once, and Ferguson has knocked out my Inter Milan once last season. We can only count as a draw. I don't know why Sir Alex can say that he can beat me?"
"I don't know why Sir Alex Ferguson has to compare me with Gao Xiaodong. The coach and the players are a whole. The coach can't play in person. Only the players can complete the coach's tactical vision. If I'm a brain, Xiao Dong is just hands and feet. He is my favorite player."
"I don't want to compare Rooney with Gao Xiaodong. Rooney is good enough at Manchester United, but Gao Xiaodong is the player that any team dreams of. He can be the best player in the world."
Inevitably, he was asked by reporters about leaving Inter to coach Real Madrid. However, this time, the reporter of "La Gazzetta dello Sport" came up with solid evidence: his original house in Lake Como has expired, the Portuguese family does not intend to renew it, and his wife is looking for a new residence in Madrid.
For this, he said, "the Champions League final is about to start. I don't want to discuss anything related to coaching Real Madrid. Inter is a special team. After many years of difficulties, both the club and the fans are looking forward to the Champions League. We beat Chelsea and eliminated Barcelona, and we are the only one who has stopped Barcelona in recent years. In addition, we have won the league title and the Coppa Italia. The final game on Saturday is just around the corner. What I want to say is that I am satisfied that I have taken this team to another level, that is, inter already know how to win. So even if I leave, I believe this team will continue to be the best team in Europe to pursue victory
Then the reporter asked him to compare Moratti and Florentino. He certainly ignored such a sensitive topic. He said: "president Moratti is a very special person for me. I want to thank him for bringing me to inter two years ago. I hope to see his smile and happy tears after he won the cup tomorrow. I'd like to see a picture of him with the Champions League at the Inter Milan base and the picture of his father when he won the cup
However, more and more evidences prove that there is a great possibility for him to leave Inter Milan, and what he said in the interview is more ambiguous, even if he might stay at Inter Milan.
Now, Jose is the hottest coach in Europe, and the top management of Inter Milan have nothing to do with it. Inter Milan Technical Manager Blanca said, "our minds are all about this final now. We can't waste our brain cells and energy to think about the future. We'll win the cup first, and we'll talk about the rest of the future
Inter's image ambassador FIGO said: "Jose has a heart for winning, so if he wins the Champions League, he is likely to coach Real Madrid. Of course, I don't know what the final result will be, but I think Jose will have a good communication with president Moratti
The Champions League is of great significance to Moratti. Inter won the Champions League in 1964 and 1965. At that time, Moratti was less than 20 years old. He went to school in Milan. He rode his bicycle through most of Milan city to see the semi-finals of the Champions League. 38 years later, inter entered the Champions League final again. Moratti could not allow anything to affect his dream of winning the Champions League.In an interview, Moratti took the lead in refuting Manchester United's prejudice against Gao Xiaodong.
"If any other player is perfect, then in my mind, Xiaodong is the perfect player. He can break through like Messi, score like Vieri, defend like Samuel, and even guard like Cesar. Even if he takes two Rooney, I will not agree with him."
Then Moratti talked about Jose and tomorrow's Champions League final.
"I don't think Jose is going to leave Inter. I still think he is the manager of Inter. I don't believe in the rumors from the outside world. I won't give up trying to keep Jose. Moreover, I don't think the rumours surrounding him will affect his preparations. He is a serious professional coach and I am sure that no matter what happens, he will work 100% with the greatest enthusiasm. The rumor about Jose will not affect the mentality of inter players. I am not afraid. I believe that he can take off the great pressure of the team
"These days, I don't think about the result of the game, and I don't think about what will happen if I win or lose. As an ordinary person, I think we are lucky to get such an opportunity to give the fans who have been waiting for 45 years in return. When I stand in front of the players, I really feel that they are aware of it, so I don't say anything encouraging to them
"Who decides the game? Gao Xiaodong is the most likely one, but he is still young and has plenty of opportunities. In fact, I prefer Zanetti. He deserves to be the protagonist of the final because he has been helping the team with his professional work for 15 years
Ferguson did not pay attention to any of the most important words in the Champions League final between Manchester United and Benitez Beat your opponent in the game.
