Chapter 295: Bear my anger!

Dadic was sent off by the referee's red card, but Chen Chao's expression did not improve. Even though the "Prince" Milito, who came on the bench, received Juan Mata's wonderful pass scored the sixth goal for Inter Milan, his face was still gloomy.

The result of the team doctor's examination was that Balotelli had a bone fracture on his upper limb, which would leave Balotelli absent for at least one month!

Today's "Super Mario" is no longer the young boy when Chen Chao took over the team two years ago. After Selsillon's training and Milito's careful teaching, he has become the most reliable and efficient center under Chen Chao. Last season, he scored 52 goals in 52 games and has scored 8 goals in four games this season. Balotelli has become the most reliable scoring point in Inter Milan, and in Chen Chao's tactics, there is an important position that no one can replace. However, such an important super center was "reimbursed" by the unknown Dadic in Dynamo Croatia. How can Chen Chao not be angry?

At the post-match press conference, Chen Chao expressed his dissatisfaction without any concealment: "I don't know what changes in the player's mentality during the game, but his approach is obviously beyond the sports competition itself. I think UEFA should conduct a more detailed investigation on this matter."

Chen Chao said it was very rude, but he still controlled his anger in front of the reporters. When he returned to the home team's locker room and waited for the players to change their clothes with a gloomy face, he began to get angry without any concealment: "Young men, you can only hear what I say next. If anyone dares to spread this, I will definitely make that person regret it! Do you understand?"

Inter Milan players looked at each other one after another. Although they were curious about what their head coach would say next, they still nodded immediately.

"You all saw that our Mario was bullied! No, it should be said that he was bitten by a mad dog!"

Chen Chao's face became very fierce, and he waved his fists and said, "I have been leading Inter Milan for two years. I am very happy to see that we are always a whole. This is what I am most proud of! But now, one of us has been bullied. You guys say, can we just forget it? Can we?"

"No!"

"cannot!"

"Absolutely, you can't let them go!"

Inter Milan players were moved one by one, and they seemed to have forgotten that they had just slaughtered Dynamo Croatia with a score of 6:0 in this game. Moreover, they did not give their opponents a chance to shoot even if they had a shot. This game seemed to be a cruel revenge on Dynamo Croatia.

"Yes! We can't let them go!" Chen Chao sneered and gritted his teeth and said, "I have thought about it. Among our four teams in Group B, Schalke 04 has the greatest chance to qualify, but Dynamo Croatia does not have a chance to qualify. If we defeat them while also defeating Schalke 04, then Dynamo Croatia can compete with Schalke 04 for the right to qualify in the group! If their luck is better, maybe they can qualify as well! Do you... want to see such a situation?"

Inter Milan players didn't say anything. They had realized what their head coach wanted to do, but they felt that they had no reason to oppose the head coach, even if it was an arrangement that violated the principle of fair play.

Seeing that his players showed a clear look, Chen Chao sneered, then pretended to be in a very strange tone and said: "Aha, we all know that cup matches like the Champions League require good luck to win the championship, but the domestic leagues are different, and our opponents AC Milan, Juventus, Rome, Fiorentina, Naples... By the way, Lazio is also very strong, so we still have to devote our energy to the domestic leagues next!"

At this time, even those who had a meal understood what Chen Chao meant, that is, Inter Milan wanted to qualify with Schalke 04, even if they might lose the first place in the group, and they also found sufficient reasons, the opponents in the domestic league are very strong!

Yes, AC Milan, Juventus, Roma, Fiorentina, and Napoli are not the same teams, but Lazio, who was just defeated by Inter Milan 2-0 away, should also consider it?

Inter Milan players all showed knowing smiles. They already knew what to do next, that is, to do their best in the league and wait until the next round of the Champions League group stage lost to Schalke 04 away.

In the fourth round of the Serie A, Inter Milan defeated Turin 3:0 at home and 3:1 away in the fifth round. Then they ushered in the second round of the Champions League group stage.

After leading the team to Dortmund Airport, Chen Chao told local German reporters: "I am very familiar with German football. I know Schalke 04 is a very combat-ready team. Even if there are no so-called superstars in this team, I know that it is very difficult for us to defeat this opponent! Especially here is Schalke 04's home court, and we just put all our energy into the domestic league. After winning five consecutive victories, my team is a little tired... Well, I want to take my players to hurry up and rest."

Chen Chao's words were originally just to lay the groundwork for his team's "loss". Although he was not afraid, he did not want to be accused of being deliberately lost by the media, nor did he want to be investigated by UEFA because it was too troublesome.

But what Chen Chao said was not the case with Schalke 04's new head coach Ralph Rangnik. He led Hoffenheim to perform a rural miracle. Ralph Rangnik returned to Schalke 04 coach this season in order to prove himself again. The best coach who once led Schalke 04 to score 88 points in the 44th round of the league has returned this time with ambitions. He defeated Turkey's Besquetas 2-0 away in the first round of the Champions League group stage, and is now just behind Inter Milan because of his goal difference.

Chen Chao doesn't want to win Schalke 04, but Ralph Rangnick really wants to win Inter Milan, so he thinks that what Chen Chao said should be to confuse himself. After all, every round of the six-round group stage in the Champions League can be said to be crucial. A point, even a goal difference, will likely determine who will qualify in the end. Schalke 04 is not a team like Inter Milan with super strength. Ralph Rangnick is also worried that Besquetas or Dynamo Croatia will catch up with the points, so he attaches great importance to every game of the three home games. In his opinion, if he can get three points from Inter Milan, it would be the most ideal.

It is precisely because of this idea that the tactics arranged by Ralph Rangnick for Schalke 04 seem very conservative, so a scene that made Chen Chao feel amused and laughed was staged at the Offschalke Athletic Stadium.

In the 45 minutes of the first half, Inter Milan, who did not send all the main players, actually completed 7 shots. This number is relatively normal, but they failed to score even a goal. Even the two shots in the goal frame were completed by Sneijder with the opportunity of a set piece. It can be said that Inter Milan players really showed mercy.

But Schalke 04 only completed a shot by their Turkish striker Altentop, and his shot was missed. At other times, the team basically huddled in their own stadium to defend.

Seeing this scene, Chen Chao and Celsillon looked at each other, their eyes full of helplessness, Schalke 04 seemed to have played too carefully. Even if Inter Milan wanted to give the ball, it would be impossible. You have to hit the goal within the frame. I can only get you to score a goal, right?

In order to make the game follow his own script, Chen Chao simply replaced the starting Desilvestre with Thornton in the second half, and also replaced Razwan Lat with Jakpa. He used two full-backs with worse defensive abilities to give you a chance to play on the wing. You are not afraid of being timid, right?

Chen Chao's arrangement was pretty good, but Ralph Rangnick didn't act according to his script at all. Ralph Rangnick even felt that leaving a gap on the wing should be Inter Milan's conspiracy, and Schalke 04 still implemented the defensive counterattack tactics.

Until the 59th minute of the game, Schalke 04 finally "lost the top" with Lucio and Fiorilo's frigid attack, Altentop headed the ball and scored a goal.

Seeing this goal in, Chen Chao breathed a sigh of relief. Inter Milan finally lost this game!

At the same time, Balotelli, who was watching TV at home in Milan City, also yelled excitedly, as if the goal was his teammate at this time, but in fact, the goal was Inter Milan's opponent Schalke 04!

However, Balotelli already knew the boss's arrangement. In order to "aggressively" him, Inter Milan planned to squeeze out Dynamo Croatia and Schalke 04 to qualify. Although Dadic was suspended by UEFA for two games after the game, Chen Chao still would not change his decision to teach Dynamo Croatia a lesson.

After a lucky goal, Ralph Rangnick's Schalke 04 retracted again. In the end, they only completed 3 shots in the whole game, and they were very lucky to defeat Inter Milan, who completed 11 shots but only three shots within the goal frame, and after winning all two games, they took the lead in Group B.

Leading the team back to Milan City, Chen Chao learned a piece of news that he was grateful for as soon as he got off the plane. Dynamo Croatia actually defeated Besquetas 4-0 at home, and currently ranked third with Inter Milan for the same three-pointer due to the goal difference.

"Tsk tsk! Chen, it seems that it is wise for us to lose to Schalke 04 away! Otherwise, it would be possible that Dynamo Croatia would be qualified!"

"Luckily I lost!"

Chen Chao shouted gladly, and then laughed with Selsillon...

Like Chen Chao, Celsilon doesn't think losing to Schalke 04 away will affect Inter Milan's right to qualify for Group B. Now Inter Milan is really capable of deciding which team in the same group can qualify with him. They can even calmly decide whether they want to qualify as the first or second in the group, because they have no difficulties in defeating Schalke 04, Dynamo Croatia, and Besquetas!
