No. 65 Real Madrid is tempted

Even at the feared Allianz Arena, AC Milan, who have been struggling to qualify for next season's Champions League in Serie A, are Bayern's nemesis.

The quarter-finals of the Champions League ended the last two matches, AC Milan defeated Bayern Munich, who had never been defeated in Allianz in Europe, 2:0, to advance to the semi-finals with an aggregate score of 5:2 and will face Manchester United in the semi-finals; Liverpool, on the other hand, defeated Sun Xiang's PSV Eindhoven 1-0 at home to advance to the semi-finals with an aggregate score of 4-0 and will face old rivals Chelsea in the semi-finals.

How much magic is Allianz's home stadium? Just ask the giants who have played in Europe here before, and you will know that Bayern have maintained an 11-game unbeaten record here since 2004, but the nemesis is the nemesis, and Milan, who were forced to the edge of the cliff, broke history and successfully eliminated Bayern at the Allianz Arena.

Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti has always been considered a conservative, but that means when he is ahead, once cornered, he shows extraordinary wisdom. Milan had a difficult battle, the striker used Inzaghi, and the shape was also extremely unfavorable, just when everyone was not optimistic about them, Milan's veterans burst out with amazing energy: Seedorf shot and passed, becoming the number one hero, and since this season, he has been the object of criticism from the outside world; Inzaghi scored the crucial second goal, and although it was a bit offside, "Super Pippo" showed his keen sense of goal again; There are also the veterans of the backline, Nesta, Dida and Maldini, who let Bayern's powerful offensive take advantage of nothing.

After winning 2-0, even their opponent Bayern admitted that they had nothing to say about their loss. After being "double-killed" by the city rival Inter in the league, in the Champions League, Milan taught Inter a lesson: what is a strong foreign player. It's not like some teams are in the nest.

As for Bayern, this time there is no goal performance from the defenders, and the shortcomings of the lack of strikers are exposed, but fortunately, Heathfield has already announced that they will stay, and Bayern's hopes are placed on next season.

Other opponents, if we say, Manchester United's big win against Roma the day before was a massacre. So yesterday's Liverpool win over PSV Eindhoven was a small test, there was no suspense of promotion, and the two sides really turned the game into a training ground.

PSV Eindhoven only made a couple of efforts in the opening period. After failing to score a goal, they chose to give up early, after all, their league title form is not optimistic, Koeman has to focus on winning the league title. The Reds, on the other hand, used a large number of substitutions. to prepare for the semi-finals. Fortunately, Liverpool also had Crouch, who has scored a lot of goals recently, so that the game was not too boring, and his goal not only gave the Reds the victory, but also put him in second place in the Champions League scorer list this season.

Like the previous game, Chinese player Sun Xiang came off the bench again, but the table still lacked bright spots, not only did he not block Crouch's shot on the goal line, but he almost gave a big gift before the end. Fortunately, the opponent did not score the ball, and Sun Xiang, who became a hero in the quarterfinals. A return to mediocrity in the quarterfinals.

So far, as the first real player in the Champions League, Sun Xiang's road to the Champions League this season has also come to an end.

Look forward to the showdown to form a three-English pinching Milan!

In ancient times, there were three English vs. Lu Bu, and now the Champions League semifinals happen to be three English vs. Milan, but this time the three English refer to the three English teams, which is already a Premier League scene that has not been seen in the Champions League for many years.

If the Premier League wants to win the title and runner-up, it will be Manchester United who will be responsible for stopping Milan, who will meet Milan again in the semi-finals after the 2004-2005 season. Last time out, Milan were Manchester United's nemesis, winning 1-0 home and away in the quarter-finals, sending Alex Ferguson's United into the doldrums. Now, after Manchester United's bloodbath in Roma, the Red Devils have found a way to deal with Serie A teams, but if Milan can continue to play Bayern's nemesis, why can't they play Manchester United's nemesis?

As for the other semi-final, it is the red and blue battle that has been repeated in recent years to write a new chapter. Liverpool and Chelsea have met again in a narrow way, although in the league, Chelsea has repeatedly embarrassed Liverpool, but in the cup, the Reds are the Blues' bitter master, the first two seasons, the two teams met four times in the cup, Liverpool in addition to the League Cup, two Champions League and one FA Cup are over Chelsea. Looking at the recent appearance, the Reds are no less competitive than the Blues, and they also have an advantage in this fixture, first away and then home, which is the strength of Reds boss Rafael Benitez.

Speaking of Milan, despite being a bit disgraced in the league, you have to admit Milan's domineering and luck in the Champions League: when more than 80% of the people thought they would be difficult to qualify for the last four of the Champions League, they beat Bayern Munich with a clean 2-0 scorer. In the last five seasons, Milan has always been the best representative of the Apennines, repeatedly saving the face of the former "small World Cup".

In 2002, the Serie A team was wiped out in the semi-finals of the Champions League, and the following year they won three places in the semi-finals, and it was Milan who finally won the championship; In the following 2004, the Serie A team missed the Champions League semi-finals, but in 2005 Milan reached the final alone, if it were not for the most treacherous reversal in the history of the Champions League final, Milan would have won the seventh Champions League trophy in the club's history; Last year, there was still only one Serie A team in the top four, still Milan, but they stopped in front of the best Barcelona; This season, Milan, who are almost the worst, have once again reached the semi-finals, and the team's heritage and determination in the Champions League are unconvincing.

From the "five to three" in the quarterfinals to the current "one-on-three", the Rossoneri have become the only remaining seedling to resist the Premier League, which makes the commander of the Milan expeditionary force, Carlo Ancelotti, very excited, but also a sense of responsibility. "Now our goal is to maintain the leading position of Italian football in Europe and I am very happy that we can continue to be the representative of Italian football in the last four of the Champions League."

As the commander of the team, Carlo Ancelotti is well aware of the truth of the speed of the army. Seedorf's 25th-minute goal yesterday opened the door for them to win. Just five minutes later, another veteran, Inzaghi, also stepped up to make it 2-0 and completely shattered the Germans' dreams of qualifying.

"It's not just Seedorf and Inzaghi to be thankful. Every player was very good, especially our two centre-backs. Carlo Ancelotti has led the Italian team to play in Europe for many years, and he believes that the experience of his disciples is the team's greatest asset. We have a lot of experienced players who are aware of the challenge and know how to win in this kind of game. ”

In fact, Milan's victory also had a bit of a lucky component. In the first leg at the San Siro, Milan were awarded a penalty that they should not have received. And last night's goal by Inzaghi was actually offside, according to the video footage. If neither of those goals counts, it will be the Germans who advance. It's no wonder Bayern Munich head coach Heathfeld's post-match comments were a little sour: "Even though we played well in the first 20 minutes of the game. But conceded first...... We have to accept this outcome. ”

Although he saw his opponent advance to the last four, he also expressed his best wishes for the last team to challenge the Englishman: "AC Milan are very good at taking advantage of the opponent's small weaknesses and mistakes. Hopefully they can put Manchester United to the test. ”

Just one day earlier, Milan's allies had landed in the port of Manchester, only to be slaughtered by the Red Devils with seven goals. "The heavy defeat at Roma was a shock to everyone, who could have predicted the outcome before the game," said An, who believes his team will be tasked with challenging England's monopoly across Europe. "It's not easy to get this far in this championship. I really feel it. This time was harder than ever. But I am sure that we can do better and go further. ”

"Milan's time is not yet right," Ancelotti said confidently, "and today we were just one step on the way to the final. I'm sure Manchester United have been very familiar with us and have been very jealous of us for so many years. ”

AC Milan and the "Red Devils" Manchester United will meet in the semi-finals of the Champions League.

AC Milan, who have reached the semi-finals of Europe's top club competition for the fourth time in five years, will first visit Old Trafford, Manchester United's home stadium, on 24 April. He then returned to Italy to await his opponent on May 5.

'Manchester United are a bit scary but we're happy to play against them. "Old Trafford doesn't intimidate us, we're familiar with it. And let's not forget that the second leg will be played at the San Siro. ”

AC Milan have beaten Manchester United on a number of previous occasions and have won the city of Manchester on a number of occasions. In 2003, it was at Old Trafford that they lifted the UEFA Champions League (previously known as the UEFA Champions Cup) for the sixth time.

"Since Silvio Berlusconi became president of the club in 1986, we have always pursued the goal of making AC Milan the number one team in Europe," said Galliani. ”

The other semi-final will be between Premier League giants Chelsea and Liverpool, with Galliani saying he hopes Chelsea, who have former Milan striker Andriy Shevchenko, win, as "we have an appointment [with Shevchenko] to see you in the final".

In addition, AC Milan are the only non-Premier League side in the last four, so Galliani said: "It's England versus the rest of the world, and we are the only representatives of the rest of the world. Our goal is to keep the flag of Italian football flying high in Europe. ”

Just when Milan was in high spirits, Real Madrid launched an action at the moment, this time not against Kaka, but against Jonker, who was in the limelight in Milan.

Just three days after the match against Bayern Munich, Mendes, as Jonker's agent, received a call from Real Madrid's president, Mr. Calderón.

The current head of the Galactic Battleship has proposed a very tempting plan to Mr. 'Super Broker' - to bring Jonk to Real Madrid.

The purpose of the agent is to pursue the maximization of interests, of course, agents with professional ethics strive to maximize the interests of themselves and their players, while those black-hearted agents will only drink the blood of players, sacrificing the interests of players to meet his own selfish interests, which is commonplace.

Objectively speaking, Mendes is still a more professional agent, and he knows that becoming friends with Jondes is far more beneficial than a cold employment relationship, and Jonk is also the most special of all Mendes' contractors.

Mendes certainly knows how much profit Jonk will bring to him and Jonk himself if he moves to Real Madrid. In addition to the high transfer fees and signing fees. Joining the 'No. 1 giant' in world football today can in itself maximize Jonker's prestige in the shortest possible time.

But that premise is that he first has to convince Jonk to agree to the transfer. In addition, Mendes still knows Jonk very well now, this is an unpredictable young man, Jonk has just arrived in Milan, if he doesn't get any honors, so he transfers and leaves? It's too unlikely, and this lad can't wait to make the fans of the team he plays for grateful to him for 10,000 years!

He knew Jonker's character well. The interests of money are by no means the driving force behind Jonker's transfer, he is not the kind of person who will change his principles for the sake of money and fame, and the things he pursues are still a little unclear to Mendes. So Mendes doesn't think Jonker will agree to stay at AC Milan for just one year. Just leave the club.

But Mendes didn't want to reject Calderón so simply, after all, in Mendes's heart, he was still inclined to Calderon's mention. No one can refuse Real Madrid's invitation without hesitation.

Mendez sue sù Calderón. He needed to tell Jonk what he thought. Mendes also wanted to hold out a glimmer of hope to convince Jonk. In fact, after Jonk and Berlusconi's 'bad relationship' was confirmed, Mendes was considering whether to help Jonk find a new owner, of course, this is all Mendes's thoughts in private now, and he has not communicated with Jonk. However, as a broker you must not consider comprehensive, right. In addition, Mendes knows that Jonk is already one of the best young stars in world football, and now he is AC Milan's top scorer.

In addition, there is also the fact that in Mendes's heart, he still hopes to leave a way back, even if it doesn't work now, he won't necessarily say it in the future. Who knows what the future holds?

What's more, with Mendes' connections in football and his clear support, Calderon's introduction of Jonk was by no means a temporary idea, let alone watching the match between AC Milan and Inter Milan.

It's not a small determination, Calderón is not having a good time at Real Madrid.

Just last week, on a football show called "Catapult" on Radio Madrid in Spain, the host José . Antonio. In his show, Abelan made no secret of his dissatisfaction and distrust of Calderón, and he listed the big and small lies that Calderón has told in front of the media since he took office.

"There is no doubt that the lawyer-turned-president has completely transferred the trick of spitting in court to the management of the team, and in his mouth, the value of the TV broadcast contract signed by the club can go from 800 million to 1.1 billion in a matter of days, and as for the failure to win Kaka and Cristiano Ronaldo, the biggest lie has been exposed." This is how the moderator criticized Calderón.

It's a strange situation, Real Madrid are likely to win the league this season, but Real Madrid fans seem to be growing dissatisfied with Calderón.

The trigger was Calderón's promise when he ran for president, "If I were president, Kaka would come to Madrid".

After the failure to acquire Kaka last summer, Calderón did not admit that he did not get Kaka, but said that "70% of the members voted to tell me that they don't want Kaka", which made Real Madrid fans angry and further intensified the conflict.

On the website of the newspaper As, fans left a message saying: "I think the best thing for Real Madrid right now is for Calderón and Mijatovic to leave as soon as possible, and the province to stay here and tarnish our sacred whiteness"; And on the Real Madrid forum called "White Heart", people can find angry scoldings similar to the following: "They are two hooligans who have discredited Real Madrid." We have now become the laughing stock of the world. I said, rascals, resign and get out of Madrid! ”

It is true that Calderón has been under great external pressure from the fans, but in reality, the most fatal blow has been the questioning of him within Real Madrid. For a long time, there have been people in Calderón when he was running for the presidency of Real Madrid, suspected of fraud, and some people have never stopped investigating the case of cheating in mail ballots, and the biggest development is that since the Madrid court intervened in this matter until now, hundreds of voting members have been questioned and collected evidence in half a year, and according to the analysis of legal professionals. If the cheating is true, the target of the prosecution will bypass the club and point directly at Calderón himself. And in fact. According to internal sources, in order to avoid being implicated, several members of the management have submitted their resignations to the chairman and will leave as soon as their replacements are in place.

As a result of the voting fraud, many of the club's external business partners, who were not implicated in their company's reputation, announced the termination of their partnership with Real Madrid and the president of Real Madrid. Among them, the famous local businessman Alfonso. Calaxa is even more rebellious, claiming to have formed an anti-Calderón coalition. It also revealed a lot of inside stories about the chairman's team using their power to make big moves. Especially in terms of ticket allocation, Calderón's former staff member in the club exposed: "Many tickets that should have been allocated to booking members were allocated to related households by the directors for no reason. ”

Obviously, Calderón knows it. In the current situation, although Real Madrid have a good table in the league this season, they can make a good name for themselves as a league champion in the club's history. But if you don't make a difference. It's definitely going to be out of the season too.

He had to save himself.

His act of self-help. It's about bringing in Jonker and bringing the most popular goalscorer in football to the Bernabeu Stadium.

Calderon believes that if he is able to bring Jonker to the Bernabeu, then the accusations and investigations against him will disappear, and the suspicion of him will no longer be there.

The fans will welcome the young lad with the most enthusiastic cheers, at the same time. His chairmanship will also be secure.

Just as Calderón announced last summer that he would bring Kaka to the Bernabeu, this time. He played the card Junk.

Moreover, after Calderón and Mijatovic met secretly, they came to the conclusion that now is the best time to introduce Jonker, Berlusconi does not like this super goal-scoring Chinese, as long as Real Madrid can show the sincerity that Berlusconi cannot refuse, then the introduction of Jonk is by no means impossible.

When Mendes told Sù Jonk the news, Jonk's mouth opened wide, he was indeed very surprised, stunned, on the one hand, he didn't expect Real Madrid to send an invitation to himself, and on the other hand, he didn't expect Real Madrid to send an invitation to himself at this time, didn't Real Madrid know that he had just joined Milan for less than a season?

"Hey, Jonker, what's wrong with you?" Mendes didn't respond to the phone and joked with a smile, "It's not going to be happy, of course, I can understand that no one can refuse Real Madrid's invitation." ”

'No one can refuse an invitation from Real Madrid? 'Really? Jonk reacted from surprise and smiled. "Jorge, I think it's funny. I just arrived at AC Milan, how could I have moved away so soon? Well, let's not talk about how long I've been here, but the important thing is that I'm doing well at AC Milan, so why should I leave? You can help me dismiss them, just say I'm honored, but I'm happy in Milan right now and haven't thought about leaving. ”

"Is it really good to be here?" Mendez muttered.

"What did you say?" Jonk asked.

"Well, it's nothing, I said you thought it through?" Mendez said.

Jonk naturally heard Mendes' muttering, but he didn't say anything, after all, it was really difficult to deal with, and it was also his own reasons, but it was not good to blame Mendes for anything.

"Well, I've thought it through, Jorge." Jonk nodded, "I just came here, and I haven't achieved any honors yet, so how can I leave?" I wouldn't be thinking about a move until I conquered here. Hehe. Jonk said with a smile.

Mendez sighed inwardly, he knew that this would be the result, and it would be a superfluous move to call Jonk. "Alright then, I'll turn that gentleman down for you." Although he was a little unwilling in his heart. However, Mendes knows Jonker's personality, there is nothing to talk about, the player himself does not want to transfer, the agent has no choice, unless they can fool the player, and it is clear that Jonk is not the kind of person who will be fooled by the agent and change his decision.

"Well, thank you, Jorge. Ha ha! Jonk laughed and hung up.

"I'll take care of it." Mendez. (To be continued......)
