Inter Milan is in good shape, but Wang Xiaodong and Balotelli have led to a period of negative news.
What worries fans the most is that so far, Wang Xiaodong has not made an appearance in Serie A on behalf of Inter Milan.
Although Mourinho has been speaking frankly to the outside world, saying that Wang Xiaodong is in good condition and has quickly integrated into the team.
But after not seeing Wang Xiaodong for a long time, fans will inevitably talk about it.
In addition, Wang Xiaodong returned to China to participate in the World Cup preliminaries some time ago. If there is any slight disturbance, fans who are not determined will be led astray by some gossip media.
In the past, fans at White Hart Lane would not believe whatever the media said.
During Wang Xiaodong's red card suspension, everyone thought that as long as Wang Xiaodong came back, he would immediately bring results to the team.
But now, Inter fans are on tenterhooks.
The slogans made one's voice hoarse, but Wang Xiaodong's Serie A debut was delayed, which made the fans feel that they had bought a fake.
"Could it be that DONG is really acclimated?"
"Alas! If this is the case, it would be better to sell him back to the Premier League in the winter."
"Like Henry back then?"
After seeing such public opinion, Wang Xiaodong's nose almost became crooked with anger.
I'm already annoyed enough being teammates with Vieira, but now you still think I'm not as good as Henry?
Well!
Come and see who scores the most goals in the Premier League in a single season!
Ever since, Wang Xiaodong, who worked hard to improve himself, felt that it was necessary to let these Inter Milan players have a good look at his own strength.
...
On September 24, Inter Milan faced Lecce at home. This game was regarded by most people as the prelude to the Milan Derby before the game.
Since it was the prologue, this should have been a dull game.
But before the game even started, the appearance of one person made the whole game different.
Before the game started, vice-captain Cordoba, on behalf of the entire Inter Milan team, presented captain Zanetti with a commemorative silver plate engraved with the "600 games" logo to show his gratitude.
In the history of Inter Milan, only Bergomi (758) and Facchetti (634) have played more games than Zanetti.
Looking at the commemorative silver plate that resembled a "dinner plate" on TV, Balotelli counted on his fingers for a long time before he roughly figured it out.
Unknowingly, the son of a bricklayer who played football on the streets of Buenos Aires had been playing for the Nerazzurri for fourteen years.
At the same time, a huge armband was also displayed in the north stand of Meazza, which read: "600 games, a great heart, thank you captain."
I don't know if it was to make way for the captain, but Maicon, the right back who performed well in the first two games, did not start. Zanetti started his 600th Inter Milan game in the position he was most familiar with.
The full-back is the most inconspicuous position on the football field, but the most difficult to play.
What this position requires is tireless running, as well as the ability to sprint and chase frequently.
When fans see a veteran who is over 35 years old and is still running on the court, everyone has already foreseen that: if there are no major surprises, then Zanetti's number of appearances will surpass Facchetti by the end of this season.
In the 58th minute of the second half, Inter Milan, which was leading 1-0, finally made its first substitution adjustment.
Mourinho, who had two painful experiences, played the first substitution card and replaced Wang Xiaodong.
Seeing Wang Xiaodong wearing the No. 19 jersey on the field, Huang Jianxiang, who jumped to Jiulang, was so excited that he almost screamed.
Familiar China, familiar Serie A, familiar Wang Xiaodong!
All this is simply too dreamy for Huang Jianxiang!
His partner Zhan Jun also adjusted his glasses. His relationship with Peng Jiuyang has been developing rapidly these days.
Zhan Jun likes the opponent's proud figure and love for football, while Peng Jiuyang also appreciates Zhan Jun's knowledge of football and his understanding of Wang Xiaodong.
Even if he was just a "incidental" partner who switched jobs at Huang Jianxiang's request, in the sweet love, Zhan Jun soon forgot that he had lost 20% of his salary.
"oh!"
"Mourinho has made a substitution!"
"It's Wang Xiaodong!"
"The replacement is No. 14 Vieira."
"This is Wang Xiaodong's second appearance for Inter Milan after his transfer, and it is also Wang Xiaodong's first appearance in a Serie A match."
"I think most of the fans in the live broadcast room are like me, hoping for the stars and the moon and finally waiting for this day."
"Let us guess how many goals Wang Xiaodong can score in his Serie A debut."
"Netizens please post your answers on the public screen. Later we will randomly select a lucky netizen to give you a gift from our live broadcast room..."
As soon as Huang Jianxiang finished speaking, all numbers were refreshed on the public screen.
Some said Wang Xiaodong could score 2, some said he could score 3, and some said he could score 10,086.
Netizens were also very excited about this issue. Zhan Jun took a few glances and found that netizens who posted "0" and "1" were in the minority.
In other words, most netizens expect Wang Xiaodong to score more than two goals.
In the 64th minute, Zanetti cut in from the right and passed the ball, and Adriano responded to his captain.
But Zanetti's inward cut was too powerful and Esposito intercepted the ball.
Just when the Lecce players were preparing to counterattack, Wang Xiaodong rushed to the ball at some point.
There was a muffled sound of "bang".
He got in front of Esposito and kicked the broken ball back.
Whoosh!
The ball was like a sharp arrow that pierced the clouds and hit the dead center of the goal.
At the critical moment, Lecce's goalkeeper Benusi flew into position, held the ball with one palm, and pushed the ball to the post.
The ball bounced back into the field with a bang. Ibrahimovic, who followed up, got ahead of others and easily pushed the ball into the net.
After Ibrahimovic scored, the camera focused on him for a few seconds, and then focused on Wang Xiaodong who rushed forward to hug Ibrahimovic.
"Wang Xiaodong's shot is so exciting!"
"Surprise!"
"Leche didn't react except for the goalkeeper."
"If it weren't for Wang Xiaodong's sneak shot, Ibrahimovic wouldn't have scored the goal..."
Although Huang Jianxiang's praise does not represent most people, at least in Mourinho's eyes, this goal is still half of Wang Xiaodong's credit.
2 to 0.
Even if Wang Xiaodong doesn't score, fans will feel that it will always be easier for a team with Wang Xiaodong to score.
After the game restarted, Lecce's counterattack couldn't come out at all.
In Meazza, this is Inter Milan's home ground!
Wang Xiaodong's goal after coming out is very clear, which is to support his teammates while stabilizing the defense.
It's very different to playing at Tottenham.
Mourinho's team pays attention to the overall situation, especially when setting up the bus.
Wang Xiaodong is the core of the team, and his primary role in the team is defense.
At Tottenham, when the team is lagging behind, Wang Xiaodong may rely on his ability to advance forward many times and try to score a few goals with long shots; but under Mourinho, if the Magic Bird does not ask for this, Wang Xiaodong must Defense is still the core. Even if he really loses the game in the end, the responsibility does not lie with him.
This is the biggest difference between Wang Xiaodong and Tottenham after coming to Inter Milan.
Mourinho has emphasized more than once that football is a sport of 11 people, and one person alone cannot make any waves by showing off his strength and courage.
To stay at the top for a long time, players must fit into the team.
You can play alone for one or two years; after you are bruised and bruised, can you still achieve your previous results by playing this way?
It has to be said that Mourinho's coaching level is at least one level higher than that of Martin Joel; coupled with the madman's charisma and extraordinary eloquence, he can always gather a group of loyal believers in a new team.
Ten minutes after Wang Xiaodong came on the field, Adriano and Ibrahimovic in front had already wasted three opportunities.
Seeing Ade shoot the ball away again, Balotelli in front of the TV and Quaresma on the bench both looked regretful.
If it were me, I would have killed the game long ago!
In the 79th minute of the game, Maicon, who came on as a substitute, passed a long diagonal pass from the right. Wang Xiaodong nodded the ball back. Cruz fired a semi-volley with his right foot from the penalty area line, helping the team expand the score to 3-3. 0.
"The ball went in!!!"
"Wang Xiaodong's assist!"
Huang Jianxiang shouted excitedly.
"Wang Xiaodong opened his assist account in Serie A in the 80th minute of the game."
"I already have the assists, so I'm not far away from scoring a goal, right?"
Seeing Cruz scoring, the madman suddenly waved his right arm on the sidelines.
pretty!
Just kick like that!
Before the end of the game, the score on the field had become 4-0.
Although Wang Xiaodong did not score a goal, his second assist of the game helped Zanetti score a goal.
Zanetti was ecstatic after scoring the goal. He never thought that Wang Xiaodong, who was trapped in a tight siege, would use a heel to pass the ball from the gap to his feet.
Although the hasty shot was saved by the opponent's goalkeeper, the ball still bounced into the net with the remaining strength.
After seeing the referee's finger in the circle, Zanetti, who was wearing the "600 Games" team logo, immediately rushed to his opponent and hugged Wang Xiaodong in the crowd.
"Oh, my god!"
"DONG, thank you!"
"Your delivery is so beautiful!"
"This feels so wonderful!"
"DONG, thank you..."
Zanetti was so excited that he was incoherent. This was his 13th goal in his 14th season with Inter Milan.
In the past five seasons, Zanetti has only scored twice.
This goal also made Zanetti score goals for three consecutive seasons for the first time while playing for Inter Milan.
In the end, Inter Milan used a big victory at home to play the prelude to the derby with enthusiasm.
After the game, Wang Xiaodong, who scored twice with assists, won the MVP of the game.
And he was surrounded by his teammates who rushed over excitedly, spinning around in circles with joy.
The fans couldn't help but sigh: "Ha, it turns out that with DONG on the court, it will be so easy for us to score goals!"
