After a week of intensive training, Inter Milan flew to Istanbul, the capital of Turkey, the day before the game.

Istanbul is the largest city and port in Turkey, the cultural, economic and financial center of Turkey, one of the largest metropolitan areas in Europe, and the only metropolis in the world that spans two continents.Because it is located in the Bosporus Strait and controls the entry and exit of the Black Sea, it has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times.

Today Istanbul Airport welcomed a group of important guests. For this reason, the airport added 20 security guards to maintain order and prevent some accidents. Because this group of guests is very special, they are the enemies of Galatasaray. As we all know, Turkish fans are very rude to their team's enemies, and if they say something bad, a group incident will occur.

There were a lot of people who came to pick up the plane, about 5000 people, and most of them were Turkish fans. Only a small number of foreign fans accounted for it. This surprised Inter Milan. Supporting their own team, even though many Turkish fans like some of Inter Milan's main players, but on such occasions, I am afraid they dare not express their favor for Inter Milan.

However, after getting off the plane in Istanbul, Inter Milan began to feel the taste of hell. It turns out that among the thousands of fans, the Turkish fans did not come to pick up the plane at all, they came to make trouble. Fanatic fans yelled at the Inter Milan players when they got off the plane, and some fans even tried to beat Jiang Mu and his disciples, but Jiang Mu now has eight bodyguards around him , four personal bodyguards, four bodyguards assigned to him by the club, he does not have to worry about safety when he travels now, under the protection of the airport security and bodyguards, the Inter Milan players left the airport quickly, neither signing autographs with fans , and did not accept interviews with reporters, but when they left, Turkish fans threw things at the Inter Milan bus.

After arriving at the big hotel that Jiang Mu had booked in advance, Jiang Mu asked his players to sign autographs and take photos for the fans who followed him. He also answered several questions raised by the reporters.

The Turkish fans are most concerned about whether Hakan Suk will play. The fans are most concerned about what the reporter is most concerned about. They asked Jiang Mu this question, and Jiang Mu told the reporter very frankly, "Hakan Suk Ke will play in the game, but I can't guarantee whether he will start. Hakansuke has played for Galatasaray before. He should have a way to deal with Galatasaray. But even if it is not against Galatasaray Ray, Hakan Suk also has the opportunity to play, he plays an outstanding role in the team, and we will definitely be able to use it in our third-line battle."

The second question that the reporters were concerned about was Inter Milan’s style of play in this game, to which Jiang Mu also gave a positive answer, “We must play our own style, and offense must be an important choice and means for us. , But even the most attacking team does not attack at the same rhythm in a game, so our general direction is offense, but in fact, we may make appropriate adjustments to adapt to the opponent's style of play.

The third question is naturally how the game will be won or lost. Regarding this, Jiang Mu said: "We are not here for tourism, nor for friendship. We are here for victory, but there are always exceptions on the court. If the final result does not match our ideas, we will take it seriously."

In the past, when Jiang Mu came to the place where the game was played, he would give the players a few hours off, let them go out to play freely, relax, and get familiar with the familiar environment, so that the players would become more passionate and fighting spirit.But today Jiang Mu didn't dare to give the players a holiday. Everyone knows that Istanbul is a hell. If something happens because of the holidays given to the players, Jiang Mu must bear certain responsibilities.

The players also expressed their understanding. Last season, the Leeds United team in the Premier League fought here because of the conflict between the fans. Two people were stabbed to death, which shocked the whole world. The players of Inter Milan did not want to have This kind of thing will happen, in the middle of the body.

However, during the break, the Turkish fans did not let Inter Milan be quiet. These fans quickly found the place where Inter Milan was staying, gathered outside the hotel where Inter Milan was staying, and sang all night, not letting Inter Milan Players rested and slept, and someone called the hotel room phone, all kinds of tricks.Moratti and Oliary protested angrily to the chairman of Galatasaray, but this was of no avail, let alone Galatasaray club, even if they could manage it, they would not.

After resting for two hours in the chaos, Jiang Mu called the players and coaches to hold an important meeting in the conference room on the second floor. This meeting mainly discussed tomorrow's game.

Some things cannot be said in front of reporters and fans, but within his own team, Jiang Mu has no scruples when speaking.

"We must be cautious and don't go out casually. Turkish fans are very brutal. Maybe they will hurt you. It's okay for everyone to bear with it. It's just two days. I believe you can hold back. So scary, because their fans are too scary and paranoid, but we don't have to be afraid, evil can prevail, this is not a jungle after all, Chairman Moratti has negotiated with the chairman of the Turkish Football Association, we must protect the number of games, so that everyone will not You will suffer. I believe that you are all men, and you should have a bit of a man's responsibility. I hope you can overcome many external difficulties and win the game."

Then Jiang Mu and the coaches and players watched Galatasaray's home game together, analyzed the pros and cons, and talked about how to defend each player on an individual basis, and how to defend in different time periods. How to fight, how to deal with possible accidents.

The meeting lasted for nearly two hours. After the meeting, Jiang Mu led the players to drink and brag together, and then each went back to his room to rest.

On the first day of the game, four games were played in the first round of the qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League group stage. Lokomotiv Moscow in Group A drew the Belgian powerhouse Anderlecht 1:1 at home. In the focus battle, the home game The Roma team lost 1:2 to Real Madrid, which surprised the fans. With the strength of Real Madrid, it is also close to the Roma team. Because Rome is playing at home, Rome has the advantage between the two teams, but Roma The team's experience in the Champions League is not rich enough, and they finally got angry at their home court. The score of 1:2 made it difficult for them to think about the first place in the group.

In Group B of the Champions League group stage, the wind was blowing. Dynamo Kiev was tied by Dortmund at their home court. Liverpool and Boavista, whose level was much lower than theirs, shook hands 1:1, which was considered a burst. Little upset.

Three draws in four games, and Roma lost at home, which made both Inter Milan and Galatasaray very cautious. At the press conference before the game the next day, Jiang Mu said that the UEFA Champions League It is the most difficult league. Every team participating in the Champions League is one of the best teams in the major leagues. It is normal for such teams to play against each other.But with the strength of Inter Milan, if they cannot qualify for the group stage, then it must be the failure of the coach.

Lucescu believes that judging from the previous four games, the gap between strong teams and weak teams is narrowing, but the advantage of the home team is not obvious. If you want to win the game, you must play at a high level. Only by serving your teammates can you increase your chances of winning.But Lucescu added: "I don't need to tell you what a great team Inter Milan is. We respect them, but we are not afraid of them. We hope to get a good result at home. We played against big clubs. History has been made in this game and I hope Galatasaray can replicate that success."

Perhaps out of scruples about their opponents, neither Jiang Mu nor Lucescu revealed their team's starting lineup. Faced with repeated questions from reporters, Jiang Mu only mentioned half of the players who would start, while Lucescu Ku didn't reveal anything except the goalkeeper, leaving Jiang Mu and the fans to guess.

Three hours before the start of the game, Jiang Mu led the Inter Milan players to Ali.The Samyan Stadium adapts to the venue, in fact, it mainly adapts to the atmosphere of the stadium, because Jiang Mu learned about Ali through Inter Milan's scouts.Samyan Stadium opened an hour ago, and many fans came in.

When Jiang Mu led the players to the stadium, he found that at least one-third of the fans were already seated in the stadium. These fans immediately started making noise when they saw the arrival of the Inter Milan players, as if seeing a sworn enemy. , yelling in Turkish, which Inter Milan doesn’t understand. Although they don’t understand, the Inter Milan players also know that it is not a good word.

Jiang Mu led the team to practice in the stadium for less than half an hour before they had to leave, because the security guards were not in place yet, and the Turkish fans were even more unscrupulous, throwing debris down one after another, and some fans tried to jump down to attack Inter Milan Jiang Mu was worried that the players would be injured, so he had to rush back to the hotel after training. Although there was not enough training time, the players didn't even achieve the effect of warming up, but what Jiang Mu needed was this kind of atmosphere, and only the players got used to it. This kind of atmosphere, so that you won't be intimidated during the official competition.

But having said that, the players of Inter Milan were still quite stimulated. Now, they have finally begun to realize what the Hell Stadium is. The original game is a game, and personal safety does not need to be considered, but now not only The victory or defeat of the game also has to worry about being attacked by the opponent's fans, which greatly increases the psychological burden on the Inter Milan players.
