Chapter Five Hundred and Sixty Seventh Honors Come
In the morning of the Milan derby, good news from Inter Milan continued.
First, coach Jose Mourinho won the third place in the 2009 World Coach of the Year selection by the International Federation of Football History and Statistics (IFFHS). Only after Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola and Manchester United coach Ferguson.
Mourinho had previously won the award in 2004 and 2005, and once he finished second.
According to the ranking based on the performance and record of 130 club and national team coaches around the world from 1996 to 2009, Mourinho ranked fifth.
Considering that the top four are Ferguson, Lippi, Wenger and Hiddink who have coached for many years, while Mourinho only started coaching in 2000, this ranking is a great honor for Mourinho.
Later, in UEFA's selection of the best team of the year, Gao Xiaodong was selected with a high number of votes. He is also the only Inter Milan player selected for the best team, but his position is not a midfielder, but a striker. This is mainly in recognition of Gao Xiaodong's great success in Porto, not his performance in Inter Milan.
Of course, Inter Milan's 20-round unbeaten performance in Serie A also brought them great honor.
In the 13th annual Oscars of Italian football organized by the Italian Football Federation, MediaProject and Sportitalia, Inter Milan was the top winner, sweeping the best team, best coach, best goalkeeper, top scorer and favorite player Five awards.
Mourinho is the best coach, Cesar was elected the best goalkeeper, Milito is the top scorer, and Gao Xiaodong is the player most loved by fans.
As Inter Milan is preparing for the Milan derby, the chairman Massimo Moratti received the award on behalf of the team and the players.
After receiving the award, Moratti highly praised his coach and players: "I am very satisfied with the personality shown by the team and such a high level of professionalism.
Jose. Mourinho is the most professional manager I have ever met, not just in football. I wish him continued success. What a joy to work with him.
I'm happy for Milito to win the big prize and hope he gets re-elected next year. We all liked him and respected him a lot.
Gao Xiaodong is an amazing player, he surprises us every minute, I hope he can stay at Inter Milan for many years.
Cesar is our anchor. In my opinion, he is better than Buffon. Of course, I think our team is the best player in the world and they should all win awards. "
Then Moratti also talked about the Milan Derby that will start at night, "It is very interesting to watch the contest between these two coaches who are extremely intelligent and rigorous, but have completely different personalities and understandings of football. Milan has the most The threat is Ronaldinho, he is a player who creates football, he is unpredictable, he is in form and having a good time, so he is probably the player we should worry about the most, but I I think coach Mourinho should have already made sufficient arrangements, tomorrow is Mourinho’s birthday, he will regard the victory as his birthday present, of course, I will also prepare a gift for him.”
...
When Moratti accepted the award for the players facing the country, Inter Milan's players were in the last training session before the game.
Training is closed, with no reporters or fans.
Sneijder participated in the team's joint training. His position is the front midfielder, while Gao Xiaodong's position is the right winger, and Pandev's left winger. The formation is still 4231, and the single arrow is Milito, who scored 16 goals.
However, the effect of the training did not satisfy Mourinho, because no matter whether Gao Xiaodong was on the wing or in the middle, the players were still willing to pass the ball to Gao Xiaodong. This kind of trust was tempered by half a season of cooperation. De is a newcomer, even if Mourinho gave him the position of the midfielder,
The players didn't agree.
Sneijder felt that Pandev had just transferred to Inter Milan, so he should not have integrated into the team, and Pandev was also a European player. He wanted to play with Pandev, but after Sneijder passed the ball to Pandev, he did not expect that Pandev would pass it on immediately. Giving it to Gao Xiaodong made Sneijder extremely astonished. Could it be that Gao Xiaodong and Pandev got along so well in such a short period of time?
Although his teammates did not cooperate with Sneijder, Sneijder still showed his super passing ability and get rid of skills in the few time he got the ball. This is something that no other player in Inter Milan has. Xiaodong is not as good as it is, which makes Mourinho very satisfied. He believes that given Sneijder time, Sneijder's strength can completely win the trust of his teammates, but today's Milan derby will definitely not let Sneijder start. , That is to say, in the final stage, let him go up to feel the atmosphere and get familiar with the rhythm.
After the training, Mourinho held a pre-match tactical meeting to analyze the current situation and the style of play for the players.
Mourinho actually said more than once about these things, but he had to repeat them, not only for the players to remember, but also for their attention.
"You can't look at AC Milan with old eyes. After half a season, they are much stronger than before. In the last round, AC Milan just defeated Juventus 3-0. They are in very good form. Don't hold on to the score in this game. Too many extravagant expectations, just win."
"The referee for this game is Rocchi. I have seen him refereeing our games. He is not friendly to us. In addition, we are leading too many points. If we win, the suspense of the Serie A championship will disappear. This is No one wants to see it except us, so we have to prevent the referee from blowing the wrong whistle, and control our emotions."
Speaking of this, Mourinho didn't look at Balotelli, but the Inter Milan players looked at Balotelli intentionally or unintentionally. Obviously, they thought that Mourinho's words were meant for Balotelli listened.
And Balotelli actually went to see Sneijder, as if Mourinho said Sneijder again, and his teammates saw him as wrong.
In order to appease Gao Xiaodong, Mourinho emphasized the importance of Gao Xiaodong in the team, "Xiaodong, your position is still the midfielder, but you can move freely, you don't have to stick to one position, other teammates must support Xiaodong, fill him up, respond to his passes, tear apart the defense, instead of standing there and watching.
Freedom of movement is not a privilege. It is determined by Xiaodong's ability. He can play from forward to defender, and can help the team in any position. We must try our best to tap his potential. "
After finishing talking about the tactical issues, Mourinho allowed free discussion and left the conference room by himself.
As soon as Mourinho left, Materazzi said: "Brothers, I have something to tell you. Tomorrow is the coach's birthday. We must win today's Milan Derby. We will use a hearty The big victory is a birthday present for the coach, the coach treats us well, we can't make things difficult for him."
Zanetti said: "This is a must. No matter from which point of view, we have to win this game, and we must win beautifully." After the Milan derby victory in the first round, captain Zanetti also Some fluttering.
Both the captain and the vice-captain have finished speaking, and it should be Cordoba's turn to speak, but Cordoba has had some conflicts with Mourinho recently, and he sat there without being silent.
Seeing that Cordoba was silent, Gao Xiaodong stood up and said, "According to the coach, the game may not be easy to play. Let's not be careless, win first and then be beautiful."
Quaresma said: "Xiaodong is right, don't be careless."
Balotelli's IQ even nodded repeatedly, "Although I don't quite understand, what I said is so right."
Milito and Pandev also agreed with Gao Xiaodong's words.
Materazzi and Zanetti had high prestige, they both said they wanted to win the beautiful one, but Gao Xiaodong was different from them, and he also got the approval of several teammates, which made Sneijder even more uneasy, the first This time he doubted whether he could compete with Gao Xiaodong.
