585 Quadruple Crown?
readx;
After the loss of the first leg, Inter Milan has been under a lot of pressure, and in recent times, they have indeed been too smooth in the league, so smooth that they almost mistakenly think that they are strong, especially Mancini, who was touted by the media as a little fluttering. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
But after this defeat, Mancini and Inter Milan are fully aware of the team's shortcomings, especially Mancini, who clearly sees the gap between Inter Milan and the real powerhouses in Europe, such as the Red Rebels.
Visiting the Red Rebels Stadium, Mancini played an uncharacteristically attacking tactics, and he had only one way to go.
With a heavy defeat at home, Inter Milan must win away from home to advance, and also score more than 2 goals against the Red Rebels, which is not insignificant, but Mancini has no way out and can only go all out.
Jose Mourinho, who has a wealth of experience in the knockout stages of the Champions League, was well aware of Mancini's intentions, so he stood on the defensive after the opening kick-off, and after defending the first 20 minutes of Inter Milan's opening game, the Red Rebels fought back completely.
It can be said that the first 20 minutes were Inter Milan's show time, but the double striker composed of Cruz and Recoba still couldn't break through the Red Rebels' goal in the end, which also made Mancini very depressed.
But soon, the revenge of the Red rebels came.
In the 34th minute, Cesc Fabregas's corner kick was smashed into the goal guarded by Cesar by Curtis, although Materazzi pulled desperately in the penalty area, and even tore Curtis's jersey, but after all, it was still unable to prevent the England international from scoring, 1:0!
The Red Rebels Stadium resounded with the loud Red Rebel anthem, and the Red Rebels fans proudly called this song the victory song of the Red Rebels, and whenever this song sounded at the Red Rebels Stadium, the Red Rebels seemed to be filled with endless power, which allowed the Red Rebels to completely control the rest of the game.
Inter Milan from the opening attack, slowly suppressed back to stalemate, and then forced to turn to defense, the difference in strength is particularly obvious, especially to see that this team is currently 22 points ahead of second-place Roma in Serie A, it is not difficult to imagine how big the impact of the phone door on Serie A is.
Although Mancini tried to save the game in the second half, he could not change the outcome of the game, especially when Didier Drogba assisted Ronaldo to score another goal, and Inter Milan completely lost hope.
The match ended with the Red Rebels defeating Inter Milan with an aggregate score of 4:0 and successfully advancing to the semi-finals of the Champions Cup.
In other matches, Manchester United drew 0-0 away at Bayern Munich and eventually eliminated the German squad with an aggregate score of 0-1 and successfully advanced to the last four.
Liverpool won 1-0 at home against Real Madrid with Trezeguet's goal, which also made the first half of the Champions Cup semi-finals, and there was an English derby between Liverpool and Manchester United.
At Stamford Bridge, although Tassotti defeated Ancelotti at home to justify his team, but after Ancelotti returned to Stamford Bridge, he used more fluid attacking football to defeat AC Milan, with Deco's long-range shot, Chelsea defeated AC Milan 1:0 at home, and chased the aggregate score to a 2:2 draw, but Chelsea eliminated AC Milan by virtue of the advantage of away goals.
Although Tassotti failed to defeat Ancelotti in the end, he relied on the overall strength of the team in these two matchups to create a lot of trouble for Chelsea.
As a result, the Champions Cup semi-finals were completely monopolized by the Premier League teams, which also surprised the world football, and all fans were surprised that the Premier League unknowingly dominated European football.
In addition, just look at Liverpool, who is currently in the semi-finals of the Champions League, this team is currently only 6th in the Premier League standings, behind Droysden, who is soaring in the League Cup, and behind Everton, the dark horse of the Premier League this season, it can't help but make people marvel at the fierce competition in the Premier League.
As things stand, Liverpool are ambitious and UEFA has made it clear that Chelsea are allowed to play in the Champions Cup, so if Liverpool are to play in the Champions League next season if they want to finish in the top four, they will have to do so this season.
An official UEFA spokesperson said the defending champions could consider special treatment!
This made Benitez shout the slogan of winning the Champions Cup in an interview with the media after the round of 8 knockout rounds, saying that he is very familiar with Manchester United and is fully capable of beating Manchester United.
…………………… Immediately after returning to the league from the Champions League, the Red Rebels welcomed Newcastle.
This traditional Premier League powerhouse, which has invested a lot this season and even brought in speed-oriented striker Martins from Inter Milan, has suffered a painful blow in the league this season and is currently reduced to fighting for relegation, and it is not the Champions Cup qualification at the beginning of the season, which is indeed a bit embarrassing.
But the Red Rebels are not open-minded, facing Newcastle at home, the Red Rebels can not be merciful at all, especially in another major game in this round, Chelsea at home to Manchester United, if the two sides win or lose, it will be good for the Red Rebels.
So after Mourinho played the Champions Cup, he did not celebrate the team's entry into the top 4 at all, but immediately devoted himself to the preparation of Newcastle, and arranged the main players to play as much as possible.
Although Newcastle visited the Red Rebels Stadium to try to get points and relegation, the Red Rebels still relied on their strong strength to win the opponent 2:0, but the game process was not easy at all, Essien and McCone were injured in the game, but fortunately they were only minor injuries and there was no major problem.
In a match at the same time as the Red Rebels, Manchester City drew 0-0 at home with Liverpool, and although Benitez had just finished the Champions League, he refused to relax at all against Manchester City, and Van Gaal's side had the advantage, but in the end they could not break the goal guarded by Reina.
Arsenal's 2-1 reversal of Bolton Wanderers immediately caused another dispute among the top seven teams in the Premier League, especially after Droysden was held to a 3-3 draw at home by Tottenham Hotspur, and Everton won 2-0 at home to Charlton Athletic.
The Red Rebels' win over Newcastle also made Chelsea's home game against Manchester United a little later a day into particular attention, given that they were already 12 points ahead.
With four rounds of the league remaining, either Chelsea or Manchester United can shorten the score against the Red Rebels back to nine points by winning this game, and theoretically there is still hope of reversing the Red Rebels to win the title.
Of course, this is only theoretical, because for this big comeback to happen, the Red Rebels would have to lose the remaining four rounds, or only get one point, and everyone knows that this possibility is very small.
Conversely, if Chelsea and Manchester United were to lose, they would have been largely eliminated from the title race, even if they had won the title theoretically.
With the Champions League suspended, both Manchester United and Chelsea are doing their best to get a win and keep the pressure on the Red Rebels alive, which makes this game at Stamford Bridge all the more important.
However, it is a pity that neither Chelsea at home nor Manchester United could score in the end, and the 0-0 score did not change in 90 minutes of play.
This is not to say that the game was dull, on the contrary, the game was very intense, but both sides restrained each other from the beginning with strong tactics, resulting in the opponent failing to score.
0:0, 1 point each for both sides, which puts them 11 points behind the Red Rebels.
It's an interesting margin, with four games left in the league and 11 points behind, everyone knows that the Red Rebels are so strong that they may be able to turn it around, but they all want to give it a try.
After the Stamford Bridge game, Alex Ferguson said for the first time that Manchester United had not given up hope, although the possibility of reversing the Red Rebels was very slim, but the Red Devils would not give up, and Manchester United would try to get a win in the next round of the Red Rebels Stadium.
And perhaps there is a coincidence in the dark that in the 35th round, if the Red Rebels win at home to Manchester United, they will win the Premier League again, which will make the remaining three games meaningless.
However, if the Red Rebels are defeated by Manchester United at home, then the next three games of the Red Rebels, at home against Liverpool, away against Everton, and at home against Arsenal, these three teams may become the last straw that crushes the Red Rebels, and don't forget, there are also Champions League and FA Cup, and the Red Rebels are fighting on three fronts.
It was precisely because of the devilish schedule of the Red Rebels at the end of the league that Ferguson dared to say that Manchester United would do their best to beat the Red Rebels away from home to further narrow the gap between them and the Red Rebels.
Not to be outdone, Mourinho was not to be outdone in the face of Ferguson's provocations, saying in an interview with the media that the Red Rebels always have a special psychological advantage at home.
"Manchester United want a win at the Red Rebels Stadium?" Mourinho sneered, "They have never beaten us away from home in the history of Manchester United, the Red Rebels Stadium has always been their nightmare, and now I want to make it a curse for Manchester United!" ”
"Yes, just now, Mr. Xiao Yu, the owner of our club, told me so." Speaking of which, Mourinho imitated Xiao Yu's tone a little funny.
"Jose, if we can beat Manchester United at the Red Rebels Stadium and win the second league title in the club's history, it must be very interesting, it will be a blow to Manchester United and an honour, is there anything more exciting and celebratory in this day?"
The reporters burst into laughter after Mourinho finished speaking.
"Didn't you, Mr Mourinho, never think that the unbeaten home record would be broken one day?" A reporter couldn't help but ask.
Mourinho smiled, but just when everyone thought he would be angry, he burst into laughter.
"Of course, the so-called record is actually something that was born for someone else to break, so I don't think the Red Rebels' unbeaten home run can last forever, there is no team in the world that is unbeaten forever, but I can guarantee that it will never happen this season, it will happen to Manchester United."
"As we all know, this season's Champions League final is played at the Red Rebels Stadium, does that mean that if Mr Mourinho leads the Red Rebels to the final, he will once again set a surprising record and win the Champions League for the third year in a row?"
Mourinho was stunned for a moment, obviously he didn't realize it, but he quickly changed his face to arrogance and nodded: "Why not?" I think my team could have dreamed bigger, we got the Carabao Cup, we got to the last four of the FA Cup, we were 11 points clear of the Premier League and we got to the last four of the Champions League. ”
Speaking of which, Mourinho himself felt emotionally stirred.
'If we can play a little bit better, if every one of our players can work harder and be more tenacious, we can win the FA Cup, we can win the Premier League, we can win the Champions Cup!'
The reporter was in an immediate uproar, and everyone was surprised, because the strength of the Red Rebels this season is indeed palpitating, but no one dares to guarantee that Mourinho's goal will not be achieved, because the FA Cup is a single meeting game, and the surname is very big by chance, even if the Red Rebels eliminate Watford and reach the final, whether it is Blackburn or Chelsea, it is not easy to mess with.
The same is true for the Champions League, the Red Rebels face Chelsea in the semi-finals, it is difficult to say who will win and who will lose, both teams are equally star-studded and both are equally strong, but at the moment the Red Rebels have more momentum and look like they have a better chance of winning, but it is impossible to deny that Chelsea also have the strength to beat the Red Rebels.
The only thing that has a better chance of winning is the league, but who can guarantee that the Red Rebels will not lose to Manchester United?
Once defeated by Manchester United, followed by a defeat in the Champions Cup, and then facing Liverpool, Everton and Arsenal and other fierce opponents in the league, the Red Rebels are demoralized, and the possibility of consecutive defeats is also very large.
But when journalists threw that concern at Mourinho, the latter looked confident.
"I know that anything can happen on the football field, but I want to say that as long as our Red Rebels players are united, we can beat any opponent, I will not allow what you want to see, I will not give you a chance, I can even guarantee now that this year, we Red Rebels will win an unprecedented 4 crowns!"
Jose Mourinho's bold remarks provoked a response from many reporters present, and at the same time, it also made this strong conversation with Manchester United a few days later became particularly eye-catching, and fans around the world are watching this game because it is the first game of the Red Rebels' journey to the quadruple!
