Chapter 135 The Positive Significance of Group Fights
Mancini, who had made a decision, was relieved, and he seemed to feel relieved. M
Of course, this is just an illusion.
In fact, as long as he is still sitting in the head coach of Inter Milan, it is impossible to get rid of it.
No one suffered more than the Inter Milan manager.
Inter Milan fans are always nostalgic for the big international era, which makes their current dilemma even more prominent.
In fact, Mancini's selection of the league champion also has a background in Inter Milan, which shows that he understands the history of his coaching team and the demands of fans.
The Champions League is certainly the highest-level club competition on the planet, and it is also the highest honor in club competition.
But for Inter Milan fans, this is not indispensable.
In fact, at this time, Inter Milan fans want a league championship more.
The last time they won the league championship dates back to the 1988-1989 season in the 1980s of the last century. At that time, Inter Milan was still the era of the German troika. The troika composed of Klinsmann, Matthaus and Bremer confronted the Dutch trio of Musketeers consisting of Rijkaard, Gullit and Van Basten.
At that time, the stars of Italian football were shining, and it was a real little World Cup.
Such a powerful Inter Milan can't monopolize the championship, even Milan with the Dutch Three Musketeers.
Because in addition to them, there is also Naples, which has the three South American heroes of Maradona, Careca and Alemão.
Juventus has the "three swords of Europe" held by France Platini, Polish star Boniek and Danish rookie Michel Laudrup.
The era when Inter Milan won the championship was still the most glorious period in Serie A.
They never won the league title again.
Moratti's Inter Milan later bought many stars, even superstars, from the Troika to Djorkaeff, Roberto Carlos, Kanu, Paul Ince, Robbie Keane, Ronaldo, Reco Ba, Vieri, Roberto Baggio, Zamorano, Crespo... none of these shining names helped Inter Milan win a league championship.
Many stars come with great fame,
In the end, he either left sadly or was completely buried. Therefore, Inter Milan also has the title of "star black hole".
Juventus fans, rivals Milan and Clasico in the same city, used this to make fun of Inter Milan.
As a traditional giant. But it's too embarrassing to say that he hasn't won a league championship in 18 years.
Inter Milan's pursuit of the league championship has become an obsession, a nightmare, and a knot in the heart.
Inter Milan fans don't need to care about the Champions League, but the league title must be won.
And as long as Mancini can bring the team a league championship, he can definitely reverse his incompetent image in the eyes of Inter Milan fans and stabilize his position in the club. From then on, no one questioned him again...
So Mancini chose the league title and gave up the Champions League.

Decided to wait until the end of the game with Valencia before making a trade-off. Before this game, the purpose was relatively simple. Naturally, Lazio should not be allowed to widen the gap.
So even if he is going to Mestalla and Valencia in the middle of next week, Mancini also sent all the main players in the weekend league to challenge Livorno away.
It turns out he was right to do so.
Because Inter Milan, who played with all the main players, almost capsized in the gutter. It fell on Livorno.
In the end, Ibrahimovic's goal in the 66th minute was reversed and won Livorno.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored his twelfth league goal to save Inter Milan's multi-connected network, but no one knows if he will save the team in the Champions League in the middle of next week.
Mancini didn't want to think about this issue anymore, it was futile and there was no suspense...

A day later, Lazio, who was only on the bench for the first team, beat Sampdoria 1-0 at home. Team captain Rocky scored the only goal of the game for Lazio.
Then, both teams ushered in their Champions League matches.
The Inter Milan game will be played a day earlier than the Lazio game.
Chang Sheng watched this game live in front of the TV.
He didn't care about whether Inter Milan could get past Valencia - he already knew the result of the game. with no doubt. Inter Milan will definitely be eliminated.
As far as Inter Milan's level and state, even if they have their own butterfly team that travels through time and space, they can't change their fate of being eliminated.
He watched the live broadcast of the game for only one purpose. He wanted to see with his own eyes whether a major event in the world would happen as scheduled.
This major event is not the elimination of Inter Milan. Inter Milan has performed very weakly in the Champions League in the past two years. Being eliminated is not a rare event, and it is far from being a major event that can be recorded in history.
His so-called big event was the gang fight in Mestalla.
It turns out. Some things really cannot be changed.
Including Inter Milan being eliminated, and the gang fight. And the brightest star in the gang fight...Navarro.
Because the opponent scored two away goals, the situation is very unfavorable for Inter Milan. During the game, the fans of Valencia kept insulting the players of Inter Milan, and the atmosphere of the stadium was also very hot.
The dull draw lasted until the end, and the players of Inter Milan became more and more active after seeing no hope of promotion.
Valencia's central defender Ayala was knocked down by Inter Milan players Cruz and Materazzi when he was fighting for a header. Cruz even elbowed Ayala. This elbow sparked a commotion behind.
When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, Valencia's captain Marchena kicked the ball out of bounds and made verbal provocations to the Inter Milan player Burdisso. Such a move angered the Argentines. The two had a fierce quarrel at first, and then they started pushing each other with their hands. The fighting between many players from the two teams still did not stop the two from punching each other. After Burdisso kicked Marchena, he was pulled away by Valencia defender Miguel hooking his neck; on the other side, Marchena had been hugged by his teammates.
Originally, if the matter ended here, it was just a general conflict. It will not develop to the later stage.
Just when everyone thought the conflict was over, Navarro, a substitute player rushing up from the Valencia bench, hit Burdy, who was held back by Valencia players and had no ability to fight back, with a right swing. search. The unlucky Burdisso couldn't get up immediately, and the Argentine's nose was broken after inspection.
This angered all the Inter Milan players, Cruz and Cordoba rushed towards Navarro together, and the Spaniard turned around and ran away when he saw that the situation was not good.
At this moment, Navarro, who usually looks very ordinary, seems to be possessed by Bolt.
Under the siege and interception of Cruise, Cordoba and Maicon, he still managed to escape from the center of the court and rushed back to the locker room. And the only price he paid was being tripped by Cordoba and kicked by Maicon...
Then the riots kicked off completely.
Enraged by Navarro's punch and his hit-and-run cowardice, the Inter players took the fight from the pitch to the home dressing room.
Toldo rushed into the locker room of the home team to single out the Valencia team.
Until finally the Spanish police intervened. This is the end of the matter.
Chang Sheng waited for 90 minutes and watched an extremely dull 0:0, just to witness this good show with his own eyes.
When Navarro rushed into the channel and Inter Milan's substitute goalkeeper Toldo chased him in for the first time, the TV broadcast could not be filmed.
And Chang Sheng turned off the TV contentedly. I'm going to bed.
Tomorrow, it's his team's turn to play...

The next day, major European media were discussing the fierce battle that took place in Mestalla.
The media have shown the public how vicious they are.
"A 90-minute football game is not as good as a 10-minute conflict after the game. Whether it is Valencia or Inter Milan who advances, it is a shame!"
"Thank you for watching the live broadcast of the European Boxing Championship, Navarro's right swing is really beautiful!"
"I think there is no future for Navarro to continue playing football. He should practice sprinting. Start practicing now. Maybe he can bring Spain a 100-meter medal in the 2008 Beijing Olympics..."
Some media PS photos of Navarro holding up the gold belt of the boxing champion to satirize Navarro.
Because one of them is Valencia that Chang Sheng once brought. Navarro was even transferred from the reserve team to the first team by Chang Sheng, so many reporters came to interview Chang Sheng, wanting to hear his views on this matter.
At this time, Chang Sheng naturally couldn't tell the truth: I promoted him at the beginning because I thought he had such a fast speed and that he had a future...
He could only say: "To be honest. I didn't expect him to run so fast..."
The reporter had a black line: "I'm not asking this, I'm asking how you feel about the team you coached participating in such a fight..."
Chang Sheng rolled his eyes: "You should ask Flores, now he is the head coach of Valencia. I am not responsible for wiping his ass."
※ ※ ※
Because everyone is paying attention to the brawl that shocked European football, so the game between Lazio and Celtic. It received much less attention.
For Lazio, this is a good thing.
Because it allows them to play with less pressure.
At least it can function a little bit normally.
So from this point of view, Chang Sheng's hope that the fight will be staged as scheduled is not entirely because of the mentality of "watching the fun".
The fight between Inter Milan and Valencia is still very positive for the victorious Lazio.
If Lazio finally eliminated the Celtics and advanced to the quarterfinals, he should really thank Flores and Mancini...
