A high-speed train into the suburbs of Bologna.

In one compartment, the coaching staff of Inter players sits.



a dedicated carriage

is more comfortable than a plane.

Players gathered in pairs to play poker and watch videos with grin.

Others sleep with their heads covered.

After the elimination of Manchester City, the Inter players were in a good mood and the atmosphere in the team was great.

Even in the car, I played selfies.

Brozovic compared his thumb and forefinger to a figure of eight, rested it on his chin, looked grim, and took a selfie to upload on social media.

[I like Bologna, it's a beautiful city]

After a while, Brozovic's national team teammate, Real Madrid midfielder Modric, liked it and left a message: "Good luck, my dear brother!"

Brozovic replied with a big OK gesture from Modric.

In the 31st round of Serie A, Inter will travel away to Bologna.

The current situation in the standings is as follows:

1. Inter Milan 24 wins 5 draws 1 loss 77

points 2.AC Milan 23

wins 3 draws 4 losses 72 points 3. Juventus 19 wins 4 draws 7 losses 61 points

....

17. Sampdoria

7 win(s) 9 draw(s) 14 lose(s) 30 points 18. Bologna 6 win(s) 10 draw(s) 14 lose(s) 28 points 19. Genoa 5 win(s) 9 draw(s) 17 lose(s) 24 points 20

. Cagliari 2 win(s) 10 draw(s) 18 loses 16 points

In terms of standings, Inter are temporarily in first place.

However, due to the close pursuit of arch-rivals AC Milan behind him, Inter's advantage is only 5 points, less than two games.

Therefore, if Inter want to win the Serie A championship smoothly, they must seriously play the remaining 8 rounds, and they cannot relax a single game!

In terms of the relegation zone, Inter's opponent Bologna this time is in the quagmire of relegation.

They are third from the bottom and one step away from coming ashore, with less than a game of points.

On the high-speed train to Bologna, Ye Chen sat next to the third goalkeeper Berni.

Although Berni was a goalkeeper trained by Inter's own academy, he did not establish himself in the Nerazzurri and started a wandering career very early.

The 37-year-old Italian goalkeeper, who spent most of his career in Serie B, did not return to the Nerazzurri from Turin in the summer of 2014 as the team's third goalkeeper.

Ye Chen liked this uncle who was even bigger than Handa.

The reason why Berney is known as a rock uncle is because he loves rock music and likes to put some songs in the locker room, which shocks people's brains.

He often jokes with his teammates: "Boys, uncle, I will retire after this season, whether you can mix a championship trophy before retirement, it's up to you!" "

Joke aside, Uncle Bay's status in the Inter team is still very high, after all, he is Inter's youth academy, his roots are red, when he played in the Inter youth team, many players did not come to Inter.

Bernie took off his large Sony headphones, placed them on the table, and poked Ye Chen.

"Young man, play Bologna, do you think it's a big deal to win?"

Ye Chen was reading a travel magazine about the city of Bologna in the seat basket.

He did not look away from the flowery book, and said disapprovingly:

"Bologna is just a relegation team, I specifically checked the data, they have won only 6 games in 30 rounds, and these 6 games are all against the bottom 10 teams in the standings; And they face the top ten teams in the standings, regardless of home or away, all lost, this team is very average, there is a high probability of relegation next season.

Bernie showed a surprised expression and gave Ye Chen a thumbs up.

"Yo, you can quite clearly understand the opponent's record!"

"But I want to remind you, Ye Chen, the league has played 30 rounds, and there are still 8 rounds to finish, it can be said that it has now reached the final closing stage, at this stage, the relegation team is more difficult to play than strong teams such as AC Milan and Juventus!" You have to be mentally prepared.

Ye Chen was startled and put down the travel magazine.

Uncle Bei has been in Italian football for many years, has played in all levels of the league, and has rich experience, Ye Chen knows that he will not talk nonsense.

"What do you say?"

Uncle Bei smiled and made a one-handed gesture to him.

The first time Ye Chen saw Uncle Bei make this cute gesture, he immediately smiled.

"Uncle Bei, you are all old, what do you do with a little boy's heart, disgusting?"

Bernie looked down at his hand, and then looked at Ye Chen like a fool.

"Heart than your size, this is counting money!"



count money?

Ye Chen's face changed!

He remembered something bad.

In 2006, Telephone, match-fixing....

"You mean, there are match-fixing!"

Bernie was stunned, then smiled, and raised his eyebrows high.

"Fart match-fixing, you make a little noise, don't talk nonsense."

"It's 2020, it's been 14 years since the phone door, who dares to play match-fixing? Although, there are still a lot of rotten referees!

Ye Chen scratched his head a little puzzled.

Since it's not match-fixing, then Bernie's heart ... Oh no, what does the gesture of counting money mean?

Uncle Bei brought the gesture of counting money to Ye Chen's nose and continued: "

Little star, you have a salary of millions every year, and you don't know the hard work of the players of those small teams."

Berney sighed and looked out the window.

In the fields on the outskirts of Bologna, green apple trees converge into apple orchards, flashing in front of the car window, and the projection of plants adds a bit of life to the carriage.

"I've been mixed in small teams for many years, and relegation teams like Bologna are always subject to relegation, so their players sign contracts with a relegation clause, that is, once relegated, as ticket revenue and TV revenue decrease, the player's salary will drop significantly, maybe half of what it is now, to even less."

"And once relegated, the relegation bonus is also a big head!"

"So, the current Bologna players, can they not fight? There was originally a salary of hundreds of thousands of euros, half of the discount, and there was not much left, so I just made a gesture to count the money for you.

Ye Chen suddenly realized.

"I know that staying in Serie A is the only way to stabilize their income, so in order not to drop their salary, they will definitely use all their strength to relegate!"

Thinking of this, Ye Chen couldn't help but frown.

There is an old saying in the Huaxia state.

Dogs jump off walls when they are in a hurry, and rabbits bite when they are in a hurry.

Bologna are now deep in the relegation zone, but are two points away from bottom four.

In this round Sampdoria away to Juventus, the probability of losing is not small.

If Bologna seizes this opportunity to take points from Inter, whether it is three points or one, it will be as precious as manna in the drought for them!

Whoever demotes them is equivalent to pulling their wallets open and throwing money out in a hurry!

Can they not fight?

Therefore, this away game against the relegation team must not be taken lightly.

Once the enemy is underestimated, the possibility of capsizing still exists!

That's the beauty of the league.

One season, 20 teams, a total of 38 games.

Unlike a single tiebreaker, the league is equivalent to a marathon, and a momentary lead or a trail cannot represent victory or defeat.

Only the one who laughs last is the winner!

PS: There is not enough time today, only one more chapter, cry! It's almost the New Year, there are a lot of things in the unit, I work overtime every day, I have to take care of my children when I go home, and I am a part-time writer who is physically and mentally exhausted these days, sitting in front of the computer and fighting under my eyes. To add insult to injury, the hemorrhoids recurred, and it hurts while sitting. Alas, I went to lie on my stomach....
