Section 36 Captain
Losing 0:1 to Cagliari, Inter Milan lost valuable 3 points, and the gap with leading Juventus has widened to 7 points. So far, after 15 rounds of the Italian League One, Juventus won this round and continued to have an amazing record of 11 wins, 2 draws, 2 losses, and 35 points. Parma has 9 wins, 4 draws, 2 losses, and 31 points. Inter Milan has 8 wins, 4 draws, 3 losses and 3 losses. 28 points. Lacio and Roma have ranked 4 and 5 respectively. AC Milan has also slowly climbed to 6th place.
At the same time, in the Italian Cup, Inter Milan, who has been on the bench, successfully eliminated several teams in the low-level league and reached the top 16. After entering the top 16, the opponent's strength will be significantly enhanced. Inter Milan's opponent is the first-class team Barry, and the game will be held in early February. Since the number of people who signed up for Serie A team was 24, Vieira, Buffon, Zanbrotta and others from Xiao Hua's team before the season signed up. This kind of game in the Italian Cup is the opportunity for these young players and substitutes to perform. In the first few rounds of the game, these young players performed well.
Inter Milan also successfully reached the quarterfinals in the UEFA Cup. The opponent in the quarterfinals was France's Lyon team. The game was home and away elimination system, and the first leg will be held on February 25, 1995.
The next 2 or 3 months will basically be the most critical period of the season, and the game tasks are also extremely heavy. Inter Milan will face the situation of fighting on the third line.
The defeat in the last game caused Inter Milan's defense to be criticized by the media. The most embarrassing thing is that when Milan's newspapers commented on Inter Milan's last game, they used a photo of the old captain Bergomi being easily knocked down by the opponent's forward in the game as the title. This made several young players in that game very blame themselves. Because of their impulse, the old captain was pulled out as a typical example. This has been pressing on several young players like a stone in recent days, which makes them dare not look at the old captain's eyes during training!
"Damn! What newspaper? Isn't it just a loss? Is it necessary to publish such a photo?" Xiao Hua slammed the newspaper in his hand on the table. A huge photo on the newspaper made Xiao Hua very annoyed. In the photo, Bergomi fell to the ground and watched Oliveira go away! Uncle Beer is still at his age and you newspapers don't give him any face. Didn't you just be past? Which guard has never been bullied by the forward? Didn't you make such a photo mean to make Bergomi ugly?
"Jacinto, is the captain's reaction now?" Xiao Hua asked Facheti, who was sitting opposite the table.
"The captain has no big reaction. He is used to strong storms and waves. He will not take this kind of thing seriously." Fachetti talked to Bergomi for these reports, and the result of the conversation made him feel relieved.
"That's good. The captain is indeed the current wealth of our team. Our team now has more young players, and there will be more next year. Without him in the team, I can't think of anyone who can convince these players." Xiao Hua was very satisfied with Bergomi, especially now that the team is undergoing transformation, and he needs to stabilize the morale of the army even more.
"Well, I agree with your point of view, but the captain has nothing to do with this matter. The other young players are not very stable recently. I guess they are a little bit self-blame. Maybe we should enlighten them." Fachetti is with the team every day, so he can basically know any changes in the team.
Xiao Hua thought for a while and said, "It is a good thing for young people to recognize their mistakes and blame themselves. As for enlightenment, I think we don't have to come forward. You go and talk to the captain and let him talk to these young men! I believe that their self-blame should be because they feel that they have implicated the captain."
Bergomi, a tough guy who has been playing for Inter Milan for 14 years since the age of 17, actually doesn't care about the media reports in the past few days. However, as the captain of the team, he must set an example in front of so many young people on the team. If he is emotional all day long, other players will probably be affected.
"Fabio, Robert, don't rush to leave. Let's go there and sit there. I want to talk to you." Bergomi decided to talk to Cannavaro and Carlos, because Fachetti asked him to do this yesterday, and as the captain, he was also going to talk to these two young people who were too guilty.
Cannavaro and Carlos, who were looking down and preparing to go home, were of course very busy and agreed when they heard the captain's invitation.
The three of them walked to a stand next to the training ground. After sitting down, Bergomi smiled and patted Cannavaro and Carlos on the shoulders and said, "Why are you two kids trying to talk to me recently? You guys don't dare to talk to me anymore. Is there anything that can't stand me?"
"No! No!" The two of them shook their heads quickly.
"Then why do you become like a woman? You have to blush and avoid it when you see me!" Bergomi quipped.
"Don't you blame us? Captain! We are making you laugh at the media now, and we feel so sorry for you." Cannavaro said with a sad face.
"So it's this! Look at me, do I look angry? I'm at this age and have never experienced any storms? Don't hold it in your words in the future. You are still young and have a long road. You can't see such a small matter!"
"Captain, you are so good! You feel relieved when you say this today. We have been worried that you will blame us in your heart." Cannavaro and Carlos finally smiled.
Bergomi also smiled, and then said with a strict face: "Although I don't blame you, you must also recognize your mistakes. This time our team lost 3 points in vain. I think the club and the coach are both very angry. You must remember this lesson. You both are so young and so outstanding, and you will definitely achieve great success in the future. But remembering that success is not enough by talent alone, it also requires your own efforts. Now Inter Milan has provided you with the best conditions, the head coach is also very outstanding, and Chairman Musco also has lofty goals. You can train and compete here with peace of mind, and you will definitely get what you want in the end."
"Yeah!" The two young men nodded quickly to agree.
"Also! You two young people, sometimes spend more energy on football, don't always go out to play at night. Although playing is the right of your young people, you should stop at the right time. Now you have not achieved any results yet. I think you should focus more energy on training and competitions. Do you think? There are many newcomers in the football circle every year. This year is you, and next year may be someone else, so you have to work hard on your own! Don't be overtaken by others at that time, it will be troublesome!" Bergomi taught the two young people ideological and political classes.
"Well! Captain, you are right!" Carlos and Cannavaro agreed together.
"I am very optimistic about you! Come on, it's still growing in the future! Also, come to my house for a meal in the evening. You can call all the players now! Anyway, my family is big enough, and our team has never had a party together. Let me take the lead in a party now, and you can also try my wife and I skills." Bergomi said with a smile.
"Okay, captain, let's go and notify them immediately." After saying that, the two young men turned around and ran to inform their teammates.
Chapter completed!
