Inter Milan defeated Lazio 2-0 at home and successfully reached the Italian Cup final of the 2007/2008 season with a total score of 8-2 over two rounds.
However, after the game, Li Ang did not praise the team's performance. Instead, he got angry in the locker room and cursed the entire team.
"How do you think you played?"
"Speak, why don't you speak?"
"There were nineteen shots in the game. Only four of you kicked within the goal frame!" Li Ang was furious, "Well, four shots were on target and we scored two goals!!! Don't you feel quite proud?
?”
"...Gentlemen! Do you really think you are invincible? Lazio is unlucky today, otherwise, you would have cried in the end."
"Wake up! Watch out! The season is not over yet, and it is not time to reward your merits and enjoy the holiday and drink while lying on your merits!!!"
A group of players were silenced by Li Ang's words. They also knew that their performance in this game was average, and the coach's words were also good, because when they faced Lazio, they underestimated the opponent a bit, thinking that they had won the away game 6-2.
It was not easy to defeat the opponent at home, so they obviously did not cheer up.
Li Ang looked at this group of players. He also knew that given the big score of 6-2 in the away game in the first round and Inter Milan's current dominance in Italy, the players would inevitably feel underestimated. After all, the players are living people.
, people will have thoughts, or be alert, or be proud, or be complacent, or desert. There is no way around it. The players are adults with flesh and blood, not puppets in his hands.
However, he still hopes that his words will have an effect. The principle that arrogant soldiers will be defeated does not just appear in textbooks and story books. This is worthy of everyone's vigilance!!!
"I don't want to see a situation like today again." Li Ang said with a serious face, "Two finals, there is no room for error in the finals. If we win, our merits will be complete and we will become part of the great history. If we lose, everything is over.
Become a laughing stock!!!”
Li Ang dropped these words and left the locker room.
***********
A group of players looked at each other in confusion, still not quite understanding that even though they underestimated their opponent, they won the game after all and successfully advanced to the Italian Cup finals. There seems to be no need for the head coach to be so angry, right? So far in the season, everyone can be said to have been performing very well.
It’s okay to perform substandard in one or two games occasionally, right?!!!
Of course, there are still some players who have a certain understanding and knowledge of this. They know that what Li Ang values most is the team’s spiritual and will quality. The team can lose, but it must have the guts to fight to the end. The same
, he also hates the lax attitude of underestimating the enemy, because the lax attitude towards the game is a chronic poison. Once this kind of game attitude is developed, a team will have great hidden dangers. Once this hidden danger breaks out in a key game,
But it's very deadly.
Later, as the captain and flag of the team, Javier Zanetti called a meeting with the whole team, and he communicated his understanding of this matter to everyone.
"The season has entered the most critical final stage. We still have two finals to play. Needless to say, the importance of these two games, we all know." Zanetti looked serious, "The coach's strict requirements are for us.
Well, I don’t think anyone wants us to lose the important championship trophy because of our own reasons!!!”
"That's right. We need to understand that the coach has good intentions." Materazzi immediately stood up and spoke. The old Italian international was very convinced of Li Ang. At the same time, after Li Ang wiped out the Argentine Barbeque Gang in its embryonic form,
It also deliberately enhanced Materazzi's status in Inter Milan, which also made Materazzi's status in Inter Milan's dressing room higher than in history.
Subsequently, there was a meeting and communication in the Inter Milan dressing room. The whole team also integrated their thoughts and expressed their intention to go all out to prepare for the remaining games of the season.
As the captain, Javier Zanetti also fed back the players' determination and attitude to Li Ang, reassuring the head coach.
In fact, only Zanetti in the team understood an important reason behind Li Ang's rage. Li Ang hopes to lead the team to win a Grand Slam and does not want to leave any regrets in his coaching career at Inter Milan. He hopes to be with everyone
People create a great history together.
As the captain of Inter Milan, Zanetti, the Argentine veteran, also intends to do his best to help Li Ang and bring a successful conclusion to this mentor-disciple relationship.

Three days later, the thirty-seventh round of the 2007/2008 Italian Football League Serie A was also the penultimate round of the season.
Inter Milan vs Siena.
When the referee Rizzoli blew the whistle for the end of the game, the entire San Siro stadium burst into thunderous applause and cheers.
Because Inter Milan will visit Parma in the last round of the league, this game with Siena is Inter Milan's last home game of the season, and the fans will release all their enthusiasm.
What's more, Inter Milan also won a big victory in this game. The electronic scoreboard at the Meazza Stadium clearly showed the final score, Inter Milan 6:0 Siena.
Inter Milan, which had undergone a certain degree of rotation, defeated Siena with six goals at home. Diego Milito scored a hat trick, Adriano also scored a goal, veteran Javier Zanetti scored a penalty kick, and the opponent also scored.
An own goal was scored, and the Inter Milan team had a hearty victory, bringing an unusually successful end to the last home game of the 2007/2008 season.
After the game, team captain Javier Zanetti took the initiative to come over and hug head coach Li Ang. He was the only one in the team who knew best the special significance of this game to the coach. This will be the coach's last game at San Siro.
game. It's a pity that there was no grand farewell ceremony for this great coach.
Zanetti also knew that previously, club owner Moratti specifically approached Li Ang for communication. They proposed to announce in advance that Li Ang would be leaving after the end of the season, and to hold a grand farewell and thank you ceremony for Li Ang in this game.
Although Li Ang was moved, he still declined Moratti's kindness. He did not want to affect the team's psychology and preparations. Moratti is a very emotional boss, and sometimes he is a little willful because of his sensibility, but Li Ang
After being moved by Moratti's kindness, he was relatively rational at the critical moment.
"The trophy I won with everyone's hard work at Inter Milan is the best farewell gift and commemoration!" Li Ang said to Moratti, who was very moved by this and was filled with emotion.
At this moment, amid the cheers and applause in the stands of the Meazza Stadium, Li Ang, wearing a windbreaker, stood on the sidelines and waved to the stands...
