Chapter 126 Inter Milan's locker room (seeking the moon)
Inter Milan unexpectedly lost to Palermo in an away game. This news was even more shocking than Lazio's sudden rise at home and a four-goal victory over Roma.
In such good condition before the game, Inter Milan, who had not lost a game, unexpectedly suffered its first defeat of the season.
Most people don't think of it.
At the press conference after the game, Mancini looked very unhappy.
What did he have to say about the loss to Palermo?
"We were not very lucky in this game... Football is like this, sometimes you try hard but fail to win the ball, but anyway I am not worried about (Lazio) because we are the leaders, even if it is only one point ahead
, we are also leaders.”
Mancini's inner weakness is actually visible to everyone.
Previously, the media ridiculed Chang Sheng for being a tough talker, but now it was Mancini's turn to be a tough talker.
Chang Sheng saw the recording of Mancini's post-match press conference on TV and laughed.
The psychological warfare has begun, brother Mancini, even if you want to run away, it's too late!
That night Chang Sheng left a message to Mancini on his personal website.
"Dear Manqiao, actually you are already worried, because you are only one point ahead when facing us, and you know what the result will be. I believe that everyone else knows it in your heart, you just don't want to admit it."
The advantage of having his own personal website is that he does not need to call reporters for a press conference, nor does he need to wait until they go to work tomorrow to accept interviews. He can publish his views and opinions as soon as possible. As long as he saves his personal
website, you can see his spicy comments about international football at various times for the first time.
Of course, most of them are related to himself.
Therefore, in the newspapers published the next morning, you could see reporters reprinting Chang Sheng's comments about Mancini.
This is the effect Chang Sheng wants.
The psychological warfare was carried out one after another, leaving Mancini unable to breathe at all.
It created a situation in him that a storm was about to come, making him nervous and terrified all day long.
Your goal will be achieved.
※※※
The next day, as expected, many media reprinted Chang Sheng's words on his personal website.
Looking back at Inter Milan's performance against Palermo, Mancini seems to have really started to worry.
If only Chang Sheng had said this, Mancini would have laughed it off.
But when everyone starts saying this, Mancini, a head coach with a very average psychological quality, will naturally start to have self-doubt.
This is the effect Chang Sheng wants to achieve.
All the Italian media were commenting on Inter Milan's loss to Palermo.
Most of these media hoped that Inter Milan would win, but Inter Milan lost, which was a bit far behind their expectations. Angry and disappointed, they verbally criticized Mancini and Inter Milan on their own ground.
But they seem to have forgotten that Mancini does not always win, but he does not have such a strong heart. In the face of such overwhelming criticism, can Mancini still remain calm?
※※※
In fact, Mancini could tolerate the criticism from the media, but after Chang Sheng spoke, Mancini really started to worry.
He felt like he was being stared at by a tiger from behind. He didn't dare to make any moves, not even run, so layers of sweat broke out on his back.
My clothes and underwear were completely soaked.
Chang Sheng is as confident as ever. After defeating Roma with a big score, his confidence became very convincing.
Inter Milan had just lost, and everyone's morale had been hit. Mancini would naturally lose confidence.
If the situation continues, Mancini will become very nervous.
What he is most worried about now is Chang Sheng's sudden strength...
Moreover, the media who had previously vowed that Lazio did not have an advantage over Inter Milan, and therefore were more optimistic about Inter Milan, now became a little more relaxed.
One has just defeated its rival in the same city, and the other has lost to a mid-level team in an away game. The momentum is completely different. So it is hard to say who will win and who will lose in the match between these two teams...
Looking at these comments, Mancini suddenly felt like he had been abandoned by the whole world - before you put me in the clouds, now that Lazio has shown a slight momentum of rise, you all left in a hurry.
, to praise Lazio’s stinky feet instead!
Poor Mancini was still in the air, helpless, with nothing to hold onto. Then he began to fall rapidly, and the weightlessness made him dizzy and frightened...
※※※
Chang Sheng's psychological war against Inter Milan was not over yet, he began to stir up trouble in the Inter Milan dressing room.
The Inter Milan dressing room is perhaps the most interesting in the Italian team.
If Lazio is the most Spanish team in Serie A, then Inter Milan is the most Argentinian team in Serie A.
Moratti is obviously an Italian, but he particularly prefers Argentines.
As a result, there were many Argentine players in the Inter Milan team, which also paved the way for the rise of the "Barbecue Gang", the largest gang in Inter Milan, and created conditions.
In fact, there are not many factions in Inter Milan's locker room, but the relationships are complicated enough.
To put it simply, Inter Milan's locker room has experienced changes from a "multi-party system" to a "two-party system" and then to a "one-party system".
The era of "multi-party system" was the turbulent era of Inter Milan. At that time, no one was in the mood to form cliques in the locker room, so although there were many small groups, they were all scattered and could not form a climate. This is what is called
"Multi-party system".
Later, Mancini came to Inter Milan, and he changed the situation in the Inter Milan locker room. Because he introduced Veron, Inter Milan's Argentinian players gradually became more mature under the guidance of Veron, a player who was deeply loved by Mancini.
Locker room vigilantes became gangs.
The gang formed by Argentine players is known as the "Barbecue Gang" among Chinese fans. Because the Argentine players gather at captain Zanetti's house to hold an open-air barbecue party when they have nothing to do. However, the leader of the "Barbecue Gang" is not
Zanetti, but Veron.
In addition to the rise of the "Barbeque Gang", the Lazio Gang, with Mancini as its spiritual leader and Mihajlovic as its party leader, has also begun to surface and participate in the political power. The Lazio Gang has fewer people, but it has more soldiers and more elites.
, one is the head coach of the team, and the other is a veteran who is deeply loved by the head coach, both have important status.
I must add another word here and talk about Mancini.
Mancini is famous for his nepotism. He only hires people he is familiar with and likes, and never uses people he doesn't like. Therefore, Mihajlovic, including Stankovic, all received advice from Mancini.
Reuse.
Vieri was the only superstar in the Inter Milan team at the time, and with Italy in Beijing, he was unknowingly the leader of the Italian gang.
Adriano was still a newcomer at that time and was basically a step forward, so he was a nonpartisan person.
Although there were many gangs in Inter Milan at this time, all the forces were in the bottom-out stage, so there was not much friction. However, due to Vieri's declining condition and leaving the team at the end of the 2004-2005 season, the Italian gang gradually declined. Adria
Nuo succeeded in taking over, replacing Vieri as the only superstar in the team, and gained the privilege of interviewing Moratti in person after Ronaldo and Vieri.
As a result, the powerful factions in Inter Milan's dressing room evolved into the Adriano faction, the Barbeque gang and the Lazio gang.
The Barbeque Gang has gradually grown after the influx of various Argentine players, but the Lazio Gang is still the most influential gang in Inter Milan because of Mancini.
In addition, as Adriano's reputation grew, the Brazilian Gang was slowly formed. However, because of Adriano's unreliable leader, the Brazilian Gang never really took shape...
As the leader of the barbecue gang, Veron couldn't stand the undisciplined Brazilians.
So he and Adriano have always had conflicts. Later, this conflict finally broke out at the Ballad Stadium. Inter Milan lost to Villarreal in the Champions League and was eliminated. The media broke the news that Veron and Adri
Jarno got into a fight in the locker room and Mancinilla couldn't hold him back.
The consequence of this incident was that after the 2005-2006 season, Veron left Inter Milan and returned to Argentina.
The impact of this incident on Inter Milan's locker room politics is far-reaching.
In the past, because of his background as a Lazio player, Veron was both the leader of the Barbecue Gang and a major member of the Lazio Gang. With his help, the Barbeque Gang gave unconditional support to the Lazio Gang, which made the Lazio Gang the leader of Italy at that time.
The most influential gang in the locker room.
But Veron left Inter Milan, and the Lazio gang was constantly criticized by the media for the failure of the Estadio Estadio, and gradually declined.
Under such circumstances, how could the Barbecue Gang be willing to be inferior to others?
But after Veron leaves, who will be the new leader of the Inter Milan Barbeque Gang?
At that time, Inter Milan had several Argentine players in the team: captain Zanetti, forwards Cruz and Crespo, center back Samuel, and midfielder Cambiasso.
Cruise was born with a poor life and has been involved in small and medium-sized teams for a long time. Naturally, he is not qualified to be the leader.
Crespo once played for Lazio, and because of this relationship, he is not qualified to be the leader.
Samuel is an honest man, let alone a gang leader.
In fact, captain Zanetti is a suitable candidate, but why doesn't he do it? Because he is the captain and the leader of the team, it is better to remain neutral, at least in name...
In this way, naturally only Cambiaso is left qualified...
As a result, Cambiaso was pushed onto the stage of history by the situation.
The young player who was satisfied with just being a rotation player under Chang Sheng now has his own ambitions.
Not only does he have to be the main core on the court, he also has to be the core in the locker room.
However, Veron and Adriano got into a fight, and Veron finally left sadly. The brutal political struggle taught Cambiaso two things.
First, don't quarrel with the superstar Moratti values for nothing.
Second, they make the first move and seek development in silence. Look at the Lazio gang, which controls Inter Milan and has great influence. What is the result? As soon as they lose, they are blackmailed by the media and are now in danger.
So in the 2006-2007 season, Cambiaso and his Barbeque Gang stepped onto the stage of history, but they were inconspicuous and low-key. No one even knew that some changes had taken place among these Argentine players in the Inter Milan locker room.
Then, this summer, another person came to the locker room. In a sense, he surpassed Ronaldo, Vieri, Adriano and other seniors. Because he alone can do anything without party or party.
Damn it, he established his absolute status in the locker room in just one season.
This person’s name is Zeratan Ibrahimovic.
After Calciopoli, he moved from Juventus to Inter Milan.
Although it is less than a season now, it has already shown such momentum in half a season.
Adriano's performance in the World Cup was sluggish, and this sluggishness was brought to Inter Milan. As a result, he gradually lost his position and lost his previous privileges in front of Moratti.
On the other hand, Ibrahimovic was protected by Mancini's surprise and his performance became better and better. He immediately captured the "heart" of Moratti, a heavy forward control. The position of King of Meazza was also passed on.
In the hands of Ibrahimovic. Ibrahimovic thus gained a transcendent privilege in the dressing room.
…
Chang Sheng is very familiar with this set of things.
He knows that now Ibrahimovic is establishing his locker room status, not yet successful, but close to success.
What he has to do now is to cause chaos in the Inter Milan dressing room.
Chang Sheng took the initiative to attack Ibrahimovic on his website: "If Mancini hopes to win the league championship, I think buying Ibrahimovic may be the right choice. But
If they want to pursue the Champions League, they'd better sell the Swedes. Look at my Valencia team, that's an example!"
