Mourinho was certainly unhappy with the result, but his words were gentle:

"I think we did a good job, it was raining heavily and the venue wasn't suitable for our characteristics, the problem was that it wasn't for us to play athletically. Rosenborg have good headers and threaten us every time. ”

'We did our job and made the equaliser with passes and combinations. Let's not forget that Rosenborg have played 23 games this season and it is easier for them to adapt to the game, which is not easy for our opponents to deal with right now," Mourinho said: "Am I satisfied? I think it's 50%. We did a good job of rallying the score after being 2-1 down and disrupted their tempo. But we were better with 11 men. Vieri is still not in form, but he can adjust regularly. ”

'When you have the ball, the attacking thinking comes full into play, we really had a low percentage of possession today and it's strange that when we had 10 men we did better than before,' Mourinho said, 'I think Zheng Zhi played a beautiful game and he helped us create a lot of chances. I'm still optimistic, we know our difficulties, first of all we have a big difference in physicality, they played more games than us, it's easier to get into shape. ”

'A draw away from home is not a disaster and at least we know what the problem we have now. Now we have to put our mind back to the league. ”

Captain Zheng Zhi also expressed his opinion at the press conference: "In the first 10 minutes of the game we were passive, but they only gave us a local threat, they could score from every corner, we know they have a lot of power in the air, we should at least be able to avoid a goal, but I think Inter Milan have enough counter-attacking ability,"

"We still have a lot of shots, but we don't take them, give them more time, and the young people will grow up eventually."

'We weren't focused enough defensively, so we conceded two goals.

"But anyway, we haven't lost a game since the start of the season, haven't we? It's just not as good as everyone thinks. I believe that as time goes by, our team will get better and better. ”

……

That's not what the media thinks, though.

"Milan Sports Daily" bluntly said: Inter Milan's offense and defense compared to last year, down a notch, the offense is no longer invincible, the defense is not impregnable, Inter Milan will not go too far in the Champions League and the league this season.

The view of Torino Sport is similar: letting Ronaldo and Andrea Pirlo go is Inter's most blundered operation of the season, Mourinho wants to free up the Chinese, push them to the position of the midfielder, and then let the new Cambiaso play in the back, but in fact it turns out that such an idea is too naïve, although they still have to lose the game, but sooner or later they will have to play it.

At the end of the first round, AC Milan won 2:1 against Ligue 1 side Lens, and in the other game, Roma was slaughtered 0:3 at home by Real Madrid. Juventus were held to a draw away from Feyenoord again.

Of the four teams in Serie A, only AC Milan won the victory, and AC Milan's general manager Galliani was quite emotional after the game.

"We're finally getting better in Europe."

"Milan almost forgot that AC Milan is the ace of European competition."

'AC Milan haven't won at home in the Champions League for two years, remembering when we beat Besikotas beautifully 4-1 at the San Siro in September 2000, but we haven't been able to win again against Leeds United, Barcelona, Galatasaray and Paris Saint-Germain since then. So today's victory is a big win and I want to share the joy with the fans. ”

Speaking about the performance of the Italian team, Galliani said: "AC Milan were the only four Italian teams to win in this round, which is a joy from the point of view of AC Milan fans, but in terms of the development of Italian football as a whole, I would like all four teams to reach the next stage. ”

※※※※

After the first round of the Champions League, all four Spanish teams were red, three German teams were wiped out, Italy and England were evenly matched, and the Spanish team was still very strong, and it looked like they were going to beat other clubs again.

Real Madrid challenged Roma away, and even Ronaldo, Morientes, Solari and McMaraman did not play, you can imagine how strong they are, and Roma playing at home has not been able to form a confrontation at all.

However, Real Madrid is not the champion of La Liga, the real La Liga champion Valencia beat Liverpool, who are not afraid of physical collision, to the bottom of the Messia Stadium and defeated Liverpool 2:0.

Deportivo La Coruna, who has a large number of Brazilian players, beat Bayern Munich 3-2.

Barcelona beat Club Brugge 3-2.

All four teams in the Champions League have triumphed, so much so that the post-match analysis in the Spanish press triumphantly said: on the European stage, no league team can match La Liga in terms of technique, flexibility and creativity.

In Serie A, "Milan Sports News" predicts that AC Milan will rise again, and Inter Milan, which has declined in strength, will be pursued by giants such as Real Madrid, AC Milan, Barcelona, Manchester United, etc., and Inter Milan will be pulled off the throne this season, and the dream of three consecutive Champions League titles is just a fantasy.

The Bundesliga's "Kicker" is very pessimistic: Bayern, Dortmund and Bayer Leverkusen Bundesliga top three are all wiped out, when the German media frantically praised Ballack, Bayern, which has half of the German national team, finally lost 2:3 at the Olympic Stadium in Munich. As for the Bundesliga champion Borussia Dortmund and runner-up Bayer Leverkusen, they do not represent the strongest strength in the Bundesliga like Bayern, Dortmund's two-goal loss to Arsenal can be said to have no temper, Metzeld's defense and Kohler's attack are not satisfactory. Bayer Leverkusen's 2-6 defeat away to Olympiacos can only be described as ridiculous.

The Premier League's The Times has also expressed caution about the future of English teams: Arsenal fired the first shot of English football's counter-attack, sweeping Borussia Dortmund 2-0, but Arsenal have a historical problem of often having to give up a gun when playing away from home - Bergkamp. The Dutch star's creativity is the magic weapon of Arsenal's victory, without him, Henry and Wiltord French double guns will have no bullets, but unfortunately Bergkamp just don't fly, what do you do with him?

Manchester United's 5-2 home win over Maccabi Haifa didn't make much sense, and in fact, Manchester United has not been able to return to the smooth coordination of the 98/99 season, and the problem lies with Veron. Alex Ferguson has been hesitant to use him, Veron has only shown half the talent at Manchester United and the Red Devils have only been able to disrupt the game this season.

Liverpool's 0:2 away defeat to Valencia verified Liverpool's true strength, Owen's physical condition determines the victory or defeat of the Reds, this is the difference between Europe's second-rate and Real Madrid and other giants, the gap between the main force and the substitute is too big, and the performance naturally fluctuates. As for Newcastle, they don't play well in the domestic league, and the European Champions Cup is nothing more than earning some appearance fees......

Because the midfielders of each club played quite well in the first round, the official UEFA website also commented on the outstanding midfielders of the major clubs in the first round.

AC Milan's two midfielders have received official praise from UEFA.

The official website of UEFA wrote: Pirlo, who repeatedly performed in the forward position of Inter Milan last season, ushered in a new life due to the change of position, Pirlo, who retreated to the back position, can attack and defend, accurate long passes, and is good at controlling the rhythm, although the most active and active in the midfield is Rui Costa, but Pirlo's excellent passing, control and position selection ability is undoubted. The new season Andrea Pirlo has already directed four assists in two games.

UEFA said of Pirlo: "Pirlo is a very clever and skilled player, he can be the leader of the team, he can lead the midfield on the one hand, and on the other hand he can form a barrier in front of the back line. ”

As for Rui Costa, this is the comment: The Portuguese, who suffered from injuries last season, has shown formidable strength in the new season, and Rui Costa's resurgence has made the AC Milan midfield look flexible, his passing is full of creativity, and he is like the soul of the team. In this match, AC Milan were in complete control of the situation on the field, and this was helped by the outstanding performance of the resurgent Rui Costa. In the absence of injuries, we saw one of the best Rui Costa again, and it was because of his performance that Carlo Ancelotti had to put Rivaldo in the second striker position, which arguably did not quite look out of what was expected before the season, and of course, thanks to the Brazilian's "well-timed" injury.

Juventus midfielder Nedved also did not name names: like Pirlo, Nedved also exploded in full force. Nedved has the footwork of a midfield engine and the physicality that the average midfielder does not have, and he has been repeatedly violated when he runs all over the field. And his stunning long-range strike also earned Juventus a draw.

Totti: Roma team without Totti, the midfield organization was very chaotic, unable to create a clear line, and Roma fell into "Totti syndrome". But after Totti came on the pitch, Real Madrid were pressed and beaten, and if Totti could have played more minutes, maybe Real Madrid might not have been able to win.

Paul Scholes: Manchester United have once again shown strong momentum in the group stage, which has a lot to do with Scholes's excellent performance, although Veron's performance is also good, but Scholes is the real commander of Manchester United, Scholes is the engine that connects his teammates to make the team stronger.

Ballack: Bayern lost, but Ballack didn't, and the core of the German midfield fought from the first minute to the last minute of the game, but could not prevent Bayern from losing the victory. Ballack is now the best midfielder in Germany and one of the strongest in Europe.

Ronaldonho: Rivaldo's departure has allowed Ronaldonho to take on more responsibilities, and Ronaldinho, who has been transformed at the World Cup, looks more mature. Without last season's confusion, Ronaldinho is now Barcelona's strongest point of attack, even if he is not on the front line. However, poor defense is probably Barcelona's biggest weakness in winning good results.

Zidane: He is the real soul of Real Madrid, he led Real Madrid to the Champions League final for two consecutive years, but in the end it fell short, this year is his third year at Real Madrid, plus Ronaldo's joining, maybe Real Madrid will not fall in the Big Ears Cup this time! Zidane has already won the World Cup and the European Championship for his national team, and he no longer needs to prove himself in the national team, but he must continue to prove himself in the club because he has been beaten twice in a row by the Chinese.

Zheng Zhi: I can't imagine what position Inter Milan would be in if there was no Zheng Zhi, the rise of Inter Milan is closely related to Zheng Zhi, this season after missing Pirlo and Ronaldo, Zheng Zhi carried Inter Milan's attack alone. With Vieri, Adriano and two youngsters unable to score, he stepped up again. If Zidane is leading the stars to victory, then Zheng Zhi is leading a team to fight alone! Europe's best player, World Footballer of the Year has always been at his peak, no matter who his team-mates are around.

According to the Chinese, the relationship between Zidane and Zheng Zhi is that he is both born and bright. Zidane has won everything in the national team, but in the club duel, Zidane lost to Zheng Zhi.

However, in this round of Champions League player of the year, the best player belongs to Pirlo, because Pirlo contributed two more assists. Pirlo also said bluntly in an official interview with UEFA.

"I've actually been learning how to play as a central midfielder and at Inter I always try to emulate Zheng Zhi and learn more from him and I have to thank him. After arriving at AC Milan, Carlo Ancelotti asked me one day, can I play in the back? I said yes, I can try. Then, I kicked it. ”

Pirlo smiled heartily, and then he continued to talk about Zheng Zhi.

"Zheng Zhi is an unbeatable player and I think he is the best midfielder at the moment. He can solve problems in flashy moves, or he can solve problems in the simplest way, you never know what his next move will be, and then maybe he assists his teammate to score, or he scores. I don't think it's appropriate to compare anyone else to him, at least not yet. ”

"Not even Zidane."

It seems that Zheng Zhi's status in Pirlo's heart is unmatched, even Zidane, who won the World Cup.

……

But for Zheng Zhi, neither the media nor the compliments of his former teammates mean anything.

He is now training Robben and Ronaldo on the training ground.

Although it doesn't seem difficult to play Reggina away, Inter Milan is worried about Inter Milan's attacking power, and Robben and Xiao Luo are the most critical links, these two guys are Inter Milan's bad shooting kings.

"Alger, hold on!"

"You have to hold it down!"

"Face the incoming ball! You have to calm down! ”

"Cristiano, you didn't aim at the ball!"

On the training ground, Zheng Zhi kept passing the ball to these two guys, but he looked very dissatisfied......

"Please,"

"I'll go to the street and find two guys who are better than you!"

"Know Ribery and Ronaldinho? You are far worse than them! Not even a leg hair! ”
