Bird's Nest Stadium.
A place that carries the best memories of countless Chinese people.
The morning of August 7th.
When Su Qin drove into this magnificent stadium on the Inter Milan bus, the memories of the past flashed back like movie scenes.
In my memory, it seems that I also spent half a semester's living expenses on that hot summer to get a scalper ticket in a remote corner.
At that time, he stood at the far end, staring at everything on the green field.
At that time, he had no money, no future, and no hope.
But.
Who would have thought that one day, he would come here again as a witness.
"Hey Sue, did I snore last night?"
Maicon touched his bald forehead and followed Su Qin and asked.
"What do you think?"
"Haha, it's my first time living with you. To be honest, I restrained myself for a long time."
"It's okay. I'm actually quite used to snoring."
Well, this guy Maicon is completely dependent on himself.
Field training.
This is a necessary step before every game.
But unlike usual times, the organizers of the event opened all the more than 10,000 seats in the North Stand to Chinese fans by selling them.
Don't ask why Mourinho didn't refuse.
Sometimes, a madman can’t always make the decision.
Especially this kind of competition with a commercial nature.
Ever since!
What was supposed to be an ordinary passing and receiving game seemed to have turned into a fan meeting.
In Inter Milan's formation, Eto'o, the dream third-placed player who dominated the world last season, became the center of cheers.
Whenever Eto'o catches the ball, there will always be loud cheers!
Because it was open, Mourinho did not deploy any tactics at all.
Last night in the hotel conference room, Mourinho made it very clear.
Su Qin heard everything, but it seemed that after listening, Su Qin felt that he had listened in vain.
Because, the madman's tactical arrangement did not mention any information related to him at all.
Forehead....
Yes, poor Su Qin, he will once again watch this century's game in the Bird's Nest as a spectator on the bench.
However, the training session that should have ended smoothly was terminated because an excited fan rushed into the stadium and caused a commotion.
That excited fan seemed to be a Barcelona fanatic.
Suddenly, he rushed to Eto'o wearing his Barcelona team uniform and asked Eto'o to take a photo with him.
Tell me, if you wear Inter Milan, Cheetah will reluctantly agree.
But wearing the Barcelona uniform that the cheetah has dreamed of spitting out during this period, can the cheetah agree?
By the way, the security staff gave him a push, and the poor Barcelona fan was dragged out of the stadium.
However, this Barcelona fan seemed to ignite the passion of the fans in the stadium. Those fans who had paid to come in to watch the Inter Milan superstar's training began to bypass the railings one by one and rush into the stadium.
There is no other way, the official can only end the on-field training.
On the way back to the hotel, Mourinho's mouth looked like a fish caught in a wild fishing net.
............
August 8, 2009!
One year after the successful opening of the Kyoto Olympic Games.
It's the same time at eight o'clock.
Amid roaring cheers, the Italian Super Cup began.
On the bench.
Su Qin was sitting next to Inter Milan veteran Vieira.
Yes, the person sitting next to Su Qin is the iron waist Vieira who once served as the captain of the Gunners for three years and helped Arsenal win three Premier League championships.
However, the iron waist that once made forwards all over the world tremble has to sit next to a young man who is 15 years younger than him due to the erosion of time.
Su Qin and Vieira had no communication.
The two of them were not familiar with each other, and both of them didn't like to take the initiative to talk.
Su Qin just kept watching everything on the court silently.
Not to mention, watching the game from the bench is much more clear than what you can see from the stands.
............
"Zhuang Mater Terrace!"
"Zhuang Mater Terrace!"
"This is the 2009 Italian Super Cup final being broadcast live for you!"
"Last season's Serie A champion Inter Milan VS Italian Cup champion Lazio!"
"In the two Serie A matches between the two teams last season, they both won one and lost one."
"Mourinho's Inter Milan lost to Lazio at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome, and Lazio lost to Inter Milan at San Siro."
"Judging from the league record, the two teams are evenly matched!"
"The captains of both teams have completed the edge-guessing ceremony under the command of the referee."
"Lazio chose the ball, Inter Milan chose the venue!"
"Before the game officially starts, if you support Inter Milan, please edit text message A and send it to 1088564512. If you support Lazio, please edit text message B and send it to 1088564512."
"If the team you support wins, you will hopefully get a Super Bowl gift package specially sponsored by Lining Sports."
Not far from Su Qin.
The commentary box of the sports channel stood there.
Su Qin saw the sports channel hosts Duan Xuan and Liu Jianhong that he had only seen on TV.
He could clearly hear the two people's explanations.
It seems to be exactly the same as in the memory, especially the texting part.
At that time, he foolishly used his mobile phone to send messages many times, but the winning prize never appeared once.
All right!
With explanations that only you can understand.
This game looks really interesting.
"Beep!!!"
"With the referee's whistle."
"The game has officially begun!"
"First is the starting lineup of both sides!"
"Inter Milan's starting goalkeeper wearing the traditional blue and black jersey attacking from left to right: No. 12 Cesar!"
"Right back: No. 13 Maicon, center back: No. 6 Lucio and No. 25 Samuel partner! Left back: Inter Milan legendary captain No. 4 Zanetti!"
"Three central midfielders: No. 11 Muntari, No. 19 Cambiasso, and No. 8 Motta!"
"Attacking midfielder: No. 5 Stankovic."
"Dual forwards: No. 9 Eto'o and No. 22 Diego Milito."
"the other side!"
"Wearing the traditional light blue away jersey and attacking from right to left, Lazio's starting goalkeeper: No. 1 Muslera!"
"Right back: No. 2 Lichtsteiner! Double central defender: No. 13 Silviglia and No. 24 Diakite partner. Left back: No. 11 Alexander Kolarov."
"Midfield position: No. 32 Brocchi is on the right, No. 33 Baronho is in the center, No. 5 Mauri is on the left, and No. 8 Matusalem is forward!"
"The same two forwards: No. 9 Rocky and No. 10 Zarate."
"First of all, Lazio's possession of the ball!"
............
A dull start.
A dull process!
Su Qin just stared blankly at the game on the court, which was almost exactly the same as in his memory.
Mourinho's 4-3-1-2 really wants to rely on the midfielder to carry out an effective attack.
However, not far away, Lazio coach Barartini, who is about the same age as Mourinho, seemed to have guessed the madman's thoughts.
Today, he formed a formation that was almost exactly the same as Madman's.
He wants to use Lazio's tacit understanding of the midfield combination to compete with Mourinho.
Barartini was bold.
And, his audacity did work wonders.
At this time, Inter Milan is in the formation.
Including double forwards, Motta in the midfield and Lucio in the back line.
It was the first time for all four of them to participate in an Inter Milan game.
Although during this period, they have been working hard on the training ground.
However, there is still no tacit understanding between them.
Motta couldn't find Eto'o who was always looking for space on the front line.
And Stankovic didn't know how to hand the ball to the standing Milito.
They can only try again and again to seek opportunities using the fixed tactics Mourinho taught them.
It's just a pity!
Without tacit understanding, they can only waste opportunities again and again.
During halftime.
It seems that the situation has been unable to open up for a long time.
Mourinho can only anxiously simplify the previously complex tactical arrangements.
He began to let Maicon, who had always been steady in the backcourt, frequently intervene to provide Milito with high-altitude balls.
Eto'o serves as the receiving point to seek opportunities outside the penalty area.
A very effective tactical arrangement.
The first ten minutes of the second half.
Eto'o's cold shot from outside the penalty area and Maicon's cross did cause a lot of trouble for Lazio.
However!
All they really cause is trouble.
It was Lazio who scored first.
The 62nd minute of the game.
Lazio took advantage of a random opportunity that was not much of a threat, and broke the deadlock with a cold shot from No. 10 team forward Zarate in a melee in the penalty area.
Mourinho on the sidelines looked at Inter Milan's loss of the ball and started to complain angrily.
Not far away in front of the Lazio bench.
Lazio coach Barartini excitedly raised his arms and cheered.
Goal!
It was really exactly the same as what Su Qin remembered.
Seeing Sarath celebrating passionately, Su Qin subconsciously muttered that he had to watch the number 33.
As soon as this sentence came out.
Vieira, who was watching the court quietly at first, immediately turned his head curiously.
"Su, did you see it too?"
"Uh? What did you see, Patrick?"
"Oh, nothing!"
Vieira said no more.
As a top defensive midfielder, Vieira had already seen No. 33 Baronho, the core of Lazio's midfield, unable to restrain Motta and Stankovic on the court.
Just now, Vieira was curious that the 18-year-old young man next to him could actually see Inter Milan's biggest problem now.
However, after thinking about it carefully, Vieira gave up on this idea.
How could an eighteen-year-old child see this?
However!
Just under two minutes after play restarted.
The No. 33 Baronio that Su Qin was still complaining about actually sent a scalpel-like pass between Motta and Stankovic.
The football passed between Lucio and Samuel.
Lazio's No. 9 forward Rocchi ran out like a cheetah hiding in the grass.
Without stopping the ball, just as Sasser struck out, Rocky used the outside instep of his right foot to bump the ball.
The football just bypassed the attacking Cesar and got into Inter Milan's goal.
Just five minutes!
Lazio scored two goals.
now!
The entire Bird's Nest Stadium also fell silent.
Among the more than 80,000 fans at the scene, at least 70,000 were Inter fans who came to witness Inter Milan win the cup.
They never expected that Inter Milan, with a group of top stars, could lose to the less famous Lazio in front of them.
"Oops! This ball was lost!"
"Stankovic and Motta have no tacit understanding at all, and Lucio just lost his position because he wanted to participate in the attack!"
"Lazio took advantage of the chaos and struck Inter Milan twice."
"The game has reached the 67th minute. With a two-goal lead, Lazio will definitely start to defend with a bus formation."
"Now the problem is on Mourinho's side."
Just as Duan Xuan said.
At this time, in front of the Inter Milan bench, the unruly look on the madman's face had long since disappeared.
He frowned and looked at the Lazio players who were celebrating wildly on the court.
Why can't he see the problem that Vieira can see?
However, he originally thought about adjusting, but he didn't expect Lazio's goal to come so quickly.
Suddenly, Mourinho turned to look at Su Qin, who had been sitting on the bench.
Looking at Su Qin, Mourinho remembered what he had said to Su Qin in the office that day.
At that time, I said that one day, Su Qin would definitely appear in a blue and black jersey when Inter Milan needed him most.
And this moment!
like...........
Not far away, watching his team score two goals in a row and stupefying Inter Milan, Barartini was naturally so excited that he almost knelt down and screamed.
They have arrived so far away in China.
Who wants to leave empty-handed?
.............
"Hey, Su, did you really see that just now?"
Everything that happened on the court was clearly visible to Vieira.
I have to say that this time, Vieira, who had never paid any attention to Su Qin on weekdays, really looked at Su Qin with admiration.
Previously, Vieira believed that Su Qin was only good at heading the ball and physically. If he wanted to integrate into Inter Milan, it would probably take at least one season.
but now!
Vieira doesn’t think so anymore.
Just can see the fatal hole on the court just now.
Vieira knew that the kid in front of him would never stay silent on the bench for long.
At least!
He has one and a half more brains than his competitor.
"Su! Su! Su!"
Just when Su Qin was thinking about how to answer Vieira.
Assistant coach Rui Faria in front of the bench suddenly called out to him.
"Here! Mr. Rui!"
"What are you waiting for! Go warm up!!!"
Su Qin was a little confused.
What?
warm up?
Ruy Faria's cry attracted more than just Su Qin.
The reporters just behind the Inter Milan bench also heard Rui Faria's shouts clearly.
A moment!
All the cameras were focused on the young Chinese player that no one had noticed before.
Includes live footage from the event.
Su Qin didn't dare to delay, and quickly took off his training shirt and ran out of the bench.
"boom!!!"
And right now.
The Bird's Nest Stadium, which was still silent because Inter Milan conceded another goal, suddenly seemed to explode.
-[Digging holes, that Su Qin is about to come on stage! Damn, are we really going to play? 】
-[Here, it’s true, doesn’t this mean that Su Qinlai is the mascot? Why did Inter Milan fall behind and still let Su Qin come on? 】
-[That's right, there are still more than 20 minutes left in the game, and Inter Milan still has hope of equalizing. When it comes to Su Qin, has Mourinho given up? 】
-[Fart, didn’t you see that Lazio has started recycling across the board? It was clear that the bus was about to be set up. Milito's header was really not good. At this time, Su Qin, a player with excellent header, was replaced. It was clear that this madman wanted to give it a final try! 】
-[Hiss...You mean, Su Qin seems to be still in Mourinho's season plan? 】
The Chinese fans in the stands were a little confused.
Why would Mourinho replace an unknown young player like Su Qin at this time?
It’s not just Chinese fans.
Lazio coach Barartini, who had finished his celebration not far away, also had a curious look on his face.
Before preparing for this game, he carefully studied all the players on the Inter Milan roster.
He knew that Mourinho would make substitutions immediately after leading by two goals, but he did not expect that Mourinho would actually place his hopes on an 18-year-old youngster.
yes!
This guy does head the ball well.
But can his body, which can't even adapt to La Liga, withstand the two Lazio towers in his penalty area?
.....................
August 8, 2009.
A black-haired boy wearing Inter Milan's No. 39 jersey stood silently on the sidelines of the Bird's Nest Stadium under the gaze of more than 70,000 fans.
In front of him was No. 22 Inter Milan center Diego Milito, who was already sweating profusely.
After finishing the high five.
Boy No. 39 just took a deep breath and stepped onto the court.
There are no turbulent visions!
Everything seemed so normal.
But, what everyone doesn’t know!
This is the moment.
The original time and space trajectory completely changed its direction with Su Qin's appearance.
