Ferguson summed up United's season by mentioning an unfortunate start to the 1-0 defeat to Chelsea in the first round of the league.

Chelsea didn't play well in that game, with Jose Mourinho's side almost always being held down at home by a goalless Manchester United, but Chelsea withstood and started a 1-0 'boring victory'. Being able to withstand United's stormy attack has cemented Chelsea's defensive confidence. In their first 10 league games, they conceded just two goals, which is an impressive defensive record!

What about the competitors? Without Rio Ferdinand, Manchester United continued their slow streak, with a lack of defence and the absence of Wayne Rooney and Ruud van Nistelrooy almost making their worst start to the season in history. Arsenal continued their attacking rampage, scoring 30 goals in nine games.

That gave Arsene Wenger confidence, but he further overlooked the hidden dangers left by the eight goals conceded and the difficulties that could be faced if things were to go smoothly. At the same time, the cunning Mourinho mobilizes the rest of the Premier League: it's not that you can't beat Arsenal, it's that you make defeat a habit.

As it turned out, the 10th round ended Arsenal's unbeaten run and was a turning point in the race to win the title all season.

Manchester United's on-field and off-field altercations with Arsenal left both sides battered by the battered side, and Chelsea's embarrassing eight goals in nine games at the start of the season began to take a leap forward with the return of Arjen Robben. If the last 30 minutes of the three games at the beginning of the season were due to luck, Chelsea were already growing their wings and began to conquer with strength.

Mourinho's defensive ——— stability——— confidence ——— philosophy of victory began to rise to the third stage. Chelsea embarked on a stormy attack over the next nine rounds, scoring 29 goals. Chelsea are starting to overtake Arsenal in the league and in attack, they are gradually finding their feel and confidence.

At this time. Chelsea, who focus on attack, have neglected the defence a bit. The six goals conceded made Mourinho more vigilant, and what made him even more vigilant was that Christmas was here. It was at this point that Chelsea lost their lead last season, and Chelsea have fallen here for several seasons in a row.

Jose Mourinho re-emphasised the defence in a timely manner and no longer demanded a goal, and Cech's goal began a curse of 1,031 minutes without conceding.

Chelsea's tough games against Manchester United, Arsenal and Newcastle are all at the end of the season. Until then, Mourinho has used rigorous tactics to ensure that his team does not enter the decisive period with uncertainty. Prior to our trip to Arsenal in April, Chelsea had drawn just two of our 15 league games. The rest won.

After the 1-1 draw with Arsenal, Arsene Wenger could only lament that perhaps only a bomb could stop Chelsea from winning the title now. Manchester United and Arsenal haven't been bad going into '05, but Ferguson's theory of a guaranteed six-game season has been completely overturned.

Jose Mourinho famously said: the team is always bigger than the stars. Petr Cech, John Terry, Claude Makelele and Frank Lampard's consistent performances were the biggest heroes of victory.

Even Jonker's performance has in a sense determined the title of the most detached champion, and this season is a season for Chelsea.

There is no denying it. Chelsea's success over the past season has not only been due to attack. It's more about their rock-solid defense. Of the 15 goals conceded, only five times the opponent scored first and only one defeat, 29 wins.

The Portuguese set his primary goal at the start of the season to win the league title, not because he didn't want to defend his European title, but because he knew that luck was not decisive in the league.

Of course, the fact that Gerrard, Cole and Ferdinand were seduced by Chelsea is one of the flaws.

"They always sway the opponent's army by seducing the main force before the game." Dudek blamed Chelsea. But in the face of these negative presses, the coaches of the other top three did not protect their teams. Chelsea, on the other hand, are the only manager involved in Jose Mourinho, whose players only have the title in their eyes.

Right now. People are asking, will Chelsea start building a dynasty?

Mourinho responded: Next season will be much tougher than this one. Arsenal have been in the process of transitioning this season, suffering from the absence of Campbell, Patrick Vieira and Silva, but eventually accomplishing Fabricegas, Alexis Sandros, Flamini, Robin van Persie and even Thierry Henry and Ljung Bailey in the final stages of the league.

Ferguson praised Chelsea for running the marathon at sprint pace, admitting that United were too slow to get into the groove and that they would return early in the summer to treat the ailment.

It must not be forgotten that Liverpool, who have just changed managers this season, are also improving. The Premier League is not going to be Chelsea's world this season, even in the days of Liverpool, Manchester United and Arsenal. But it's certain that whatever happens next season, the champions will still need to be as consistent as Chelsea have been this season.

It's been a season of ups and downs without much suspense, with a new rise to challenge the established giants, and next season the giants will surely be sharp in their comeback, with more to go for the Chelsea man.

Don't ignore the fact that the former hegemon seems to have gradually regained its former glory, with Liverpool reaching the Champions League final, and the old and new forces must show a more magnificent Premier League in the coming year.

Before that, the suspense of the season is about to be revealed, the European Champions Cup.

Jonker naturally will not let go of the opportunity to observe, return home early to prepare to watch the Champions League final, watch the lively will eat and drink with a group of friends, if you want to watch the doorway, you still have to be alone to calm down and observe, there is nothing to do with Chelsea, Jonk can also be treated with a normal heart, in the eyes of outsiders this is a Champions League showdown, in Jonk's view, this is an opportunity to learn.

It used to be almost a mess, but now Jonk really feels like a football practitioner, studying the game.

The final of the 50th European Champions Cup was held at the Ataturk Stadium in Istanbul and AC Milan started without surprises, and between Crespo and Inzaghi Grandio, Ancelotti chose the Argentine.

Liverpool's squad was up to all pre-match predictions, with Rafael Benitez not using a back three, but instead adding an attacking player, Colwill, who has been hampered by injuries this season, and this is only his eighth game of the year. In the selection of strikers. Benitez used Baroshe, with Cisse as the substitute after two goals in the league's last round.

At the start of the game, Kaka broke down the right and was brought down by Traore. Pirlo took the free-kick, he did not look for the high point in the box, but drove a low flat ball, Maldini, who was ambushed on the periphery, swept a right-footed half-volley from 12 meters in front of the goal, and hit a bounce into the net, AC Milan led 1-0! It was just 52 seconds before kick-off, and it also set the record for the fastest goal in a Champions League final.

Milan's upward momentum is fierce. Jonk is also taking on the burden of his Premier League fellow, and compared to the Milanese, Liverpool have not played in the European final for many years. I was a little nervous, which affected the performance.

Sure enough, Kaka advanced 30 meters with the ball in front of the field and faced the blocking of three defenders at the front of the penalty area. Gently lift the outside of the right foot on the right side of the instep. Shevchenko burst into the penalty area and pretended to shoot, but in fact he sent a powerful low cross with his right foot to the back post, the ball slipped in front of Carragher, and Crespo pushed the empty goal with his right foot from 5 meters in front of the goal, 2-0!

Everyone knows what 2:0 means, and Milan has already pulled the trophy into the ring with one hand.

And that's not all, in the 44th minute, Gerrard's through pass from midfield was broken. AC Milan counter-attacked again, with Kaka taking the ball with his back to the back. A beautiful turn to get rid of the markers, a straight pass with his right foot near the halfway line behind the defensive line, Carragher slid in the chase and did not touch the ball, Crespo faced the attacking Dudek and fired a right-footed shot into the bottom right corner from 16 meters in front of the goal, 3-0!

Jonk had to sigh that if he met this Liverpool team in the semi-finals, maybe he could still play in the Champions League final, and Liverpool was not good today.

In other words, Milan is a very powerful, very mature team, Jonk has also met Milan in the Champions League, compared to AC Milan last season, Kaka is more sharp, that to the Brazilian who chases the wind, is the most dangerous person in the first half, and the goals are almost directly related to him.

The chic action of dribbling the ball, the flexible disguise, the person and the ball are like one, and the speed is a must.

Yes, that's right! Kaka's rhythm is worth learning, he doesn't have the flashy brilliance that the Brazilian requires, it's just a combination of man and ball, through rhythm and speed.

That's awesome! Definitely a star to learn from.

In the second half, Jonker still wanted to observe Kaka's every move more, but who would have thought that Liverpool would make the situation on the field abrupt, and the sleeping Firebird in the first half regained nirvana and took the initiative in the game.

In the 53rd minute, Reese crossed from the left, Cafu jumped up and blocked it with his back, Reese got the ball and then hoisted into the penalty area, Gerrard headed the ball 10 meters from the goal in front of the goal, the ball crossed Dida and fell into the far corner, and Liverpool pulled the score to 1-3!

In the 56th minute, Reese threw the ball into the sideline on the left side, Alonso and Hamann knocked in succession, Smitchell shot low with his right foot 25 meters in front of the goal, Barosh next to Stam gave up the ball, Dida flew to save, his fingertips touched the ball, but the ball still drilled into the bottom left corner, 2-3!

It's going against the sky, the Liverpudlians are definitely going against the rhythm of the sky, Jonk can't calm down if he wants to, he's like this as an observer, not to mention the fans, he can't be like a madman!

This is also a life-threatening Champions League final! If the Liverpudlians can still score, it will definitely be more thrilling than Manchester United's treble win in the Champions League.

People with unsound hearts, stay away from football!

But for those who really love football, there are a few people who can give it up.

The Liverpool man that Jonk is familiar with is back and in control of the game, and watching the Champions League final for the first time has made his whole body boiling, and at the same time he really has some desire, this is the stage that the players dream of!

Champions League final, I will definitely go!

At this moment, Jonk didn't observe at all, staring nervously at the TV, hoping for a miracle, of course, he still supported Liverpool more, how can he be regarded as a Premier League person, and he should support his own people at this moment.

The Liverpool miracle isn't over yet. In the 60th minute, Hamann broke through the middle and passed through, Garcia knocked his right heel in the penalty area, Gerrard took the ball and was pushed down by Gattuso behind him, Gonzalez was sentenced to death, Alonso took a penalty kick with his right foot and pushed it into the lower left corner, Dida saved it sideways, but Alonso followed in time to grab before Nesta destroys, and his left-footed follow-up shot 7 meters from the left post hit the top of the near corner, and Liverpool chased it to 3-3! AC Milan have conceded three goals in two consecutive Champions League games, compared to a total of three goals in their previous 11 Champions League games.

Jonk even stood up and kicked Alonso's shot, which was too enjoyable. It's so emotional!

It's exciting to think about, if only he played this kick!

At the same time, the goal in my heart is becoming more and more determined, next season's Champions League!

After 75 minutes. AC Milan's physical strength has dropped significantly, perhaps because the heavy blow to morale has affected the body, and after all, their recuperation time is far less than that of their opponents, anyway, Milan really looks like they are going to hang, and it is somewhat regrettable to lose a good game.

In the 76th minute, Carragher raised his leg too high. Gonzalez showed his first yellow card. In the 80th minute, Gerrard made a 60-meter long pass to the penalty area on the left side, and Garcia successfully countered offside. But he chested the ball too far and missed a good chance before AC Milan got a chance to go beyond him and Shevchenko cut through Hamann and Hyypia down the middle. Distribute the ball to the right side of the penalty area. Crespo knocked back from the bottom line, Kaka made a follow-up shot from 7 meters in front of the goal, Dudek was powerless, but Carragher chased back and struggled to block the bottom line.

Baros was replaced by Cisse and Benitez ran out of substitutions. Carlo Ancelotti made two substitutions in a row, with Tomasson coming on for Crespo and Serginho coming on for Seedorf.

In the 88th minute, Shevchenko started in the middle and forced a breakthrough through Hyypia. But just before he could get to his feet, Carragher once again played a key role. Poking the ball out of the line with his right foot, Pirlo whipped in a corner from the right and Stam headed in from seven yards out that grazed Kaka's scalp and went wide of the far post.

The game went into an extended period after a 90-minute draw, with Serginho, who was full of energy, becoming AC Milan's main attacking point, and Gerrard returning to the right from time to time.

In the 92nd minute, Pirlo's right-footed shot from long range went high. In the 95th minute, Hyypia was fouled, and Pirlo took a right-footed free kick from 32 meters in front of the goal.

In the 101st minute, Serginho crossed diagonally from the left, and Traore's header cleared the ball slightly, so that Tomasson, who was outflanked at the back post, could not hit the target. In the 105th minute, Smitchell suffered a cramp in his right leg and went to the sidelines for emergency treatment, and Liverpool temporarily responded with 10 men. In the first half of extra time, AC Milan made a long diagonal pass from the right, and Shevchenko's hook shot from a small angle on the left was collected by Dudek, and after that, Garcia also had cramps.

Extra time went into the second half. In the 108th minute, Smitchell's corner kick from the right was blocked, he got the ball back to the edge of the box, and Hamann's right-footed volley from 25 meters in front of the goal was blocked.

In the 110th minute, Hamann counterattacked with a direct pass, Cisse did not give it to Garcia on the left, but barely got a long-range shot by Dida, and then, Serginho made a low cross from the left, Carragher struggled to destroy the bottom line, and fell to the ground with cramps and pain. Costa replaces Gattuso. In the 113th minute, Carragher dragged his injured leg and cleared the siege again in front of the goal.

In the 118th minute, Serginho crossed diagonally from the left, Shevchenko's header from 7 meters in front of the goal was blocked by Dudek, and he stabbed with his right foot from 3 meters in front of the goal, and was blocked by Dudek with his chest when he fell to the ground.

Jonk hasn't been staring at the live broadcast, penalty shootout, who of the two teams will win the most!

At this time, no one can say well, the Milanese are really tenacious, and they dragged on to the penalty shootout after the most luke, England and Italy, who has not suffered in the penalty shootout, at this moment the clubs of the two countries are going to have a penalty shootout, who will laugh at the last of the most?

At the end of the 120 minutes, the two sides could only take penalties to decide life and death. In the first round, Serginho pushed a left-footed shot into the upper left corner but it was high above the crossbar, and Hamann made a right-footed run and shot into the left side of the goal with his right foot, 0-1; In the second round, Pirlo pushed the lower left corner with his right foot, Dudek made a side pounce and sealed it with his right hand, Cisse deceived Dida and pushed the right-footed shot into the right side of the gate, 0-2; In the 3rd round, Tomasson also deceived Dudek, pushed the left side of the gate with his right foot, Reeser pushed the lower left corner with his left foot, and Dida made a side pounce and sealed it with his right hand, 1-2; In the 4th round, Kaka scored with his right foot to the top of the goal, and Smitchell pushed his right foot into the bottom right corner, 2-3; In the fifth round, Shevchenko's right-footed shot was blocked by Dudek, and Liverpool won 3-2, becoming the second team in the history of the Champions Cup to enter and win the championship as the fourth place in the league.

After the thrilling final, Jonk did not watch the award ceremony again, and like the Milanese, the Chelsea represented by Jonk was not the loser in the Champions League, watching the winner celebrate? He doesn't have this habit, it's one thing to support Liverpool, it's another thing to watch Liverpool people show off.

Can a 3-goal advantage decide a match? No, how much time does it take to change a game? In the first half, AC Milan scored a lightning goal in 51 seconds and a fierce offensive to take a 3-0 advantage, except for the Liverpool fans who chanted "Youllneverwalkalone" in the stands.

That's the opinion of fans who don't know Liverpool and AC Milan, with 45 minutes to go, and the game is far from over.

Even the first seven minutes of the second half belonged to AC Milan, and Shevchenko's tricky free-kick almost changed the score to 4-0, and if that were the case, the game could have ended early.

But Dudek's save gave the game a suspense to continue – even if it didn't seem to be a suspense to the more many. From 54 minutes to 60 minutes, Gerrard's header, Smitchell's long-range shot, and Alonso's supplementary penalty instantly brought both sides back to the same starting point!

It's incredible, but it just happens. Carlo Ancelotti said after the game: "It was an incredible six minutes for us to give everything back to our opponents. But he refused to admit that he had compared the game to last season's away games against Deportivo La Coruna and this season's away games against PSV Eindhoven: "It's not comparable, we just didn't play well for six minutes and we didn't get into the groove from start to finish in those two games.
