Chinese champion

Chapter 371 Blue Black Empire Who Says We Can't Do It
When the referee's whistle sounded, there was a huge cheer from above Meazza at the same time, and Mancini also rushed into the field excitedly, hugging the players on the field one by one, no wonder he would be like this Excited, during the four years he has been in charge of Inter Milan, in the first three years he led the team to the quarter-finals in the Champions League, so that some people think that his coaching ability is simply not on the table in Europe, and now Inter Milan Successfully eliminated Chelsea, which no team wanted to meet in the Champions League, let's see who dares to underestimate his coaching level!

The elimination of Chelsea is a proof for Mancini and Inter Milan, proof that they have the ability to ascend to the top of Europe.

After eliminating Chelsea, Inter Milan's opponent in the semi-finals was the French overlord Lyon - this made Pei Wei a little unhappy. He was going to compete with Wu Qi in the semi-finals, but unfortunately Manchester United was eliminated by Lyon. And they were eliminated very wrongly. They drew 0:0 with their opponents in the away game. After returning home, they relied on Adelaide's goal to lead for nearly 10 minutes, but they were pierced by Juninho's free kick. , This free kick was played at an extremely sharp angle, and even Wu Qi could only do nothing.

In the other half area is the La Liga duo. Barcelona eliminated AC Milan in two rounds. AC Milan has been eliminated by Barcelona for three consecutive years in the Champions League. It wasn't Ronaldinho, Eto'o, or Messi who won the goal, but Zhu Jun who came off the bench. He broke through Odo's defense on the left and scored a beautiful world wave, which made Ah Melia surrendered.

Hu Yong was very depressed. In the two rounds of the game, he successfully froze Ronaldinho, but he couldn't prevent Zhu's surprise attack.

Hu Yong is also out of luck. Among the Chinese players in Europe, his strength is definitely one of the best. Even compared to Pei Wei, he is not much inferior, but both Zhu Jun, Zhang Qi and Du Wei and Wu Qi have achieved considerable results. Good honor, everyone has at least one championship title, like Wu Qi won the Premier League title, Du Wei won the Bundesliga title, Zhu Jun won the UEFA Cup title, only Hu Yong has not yet won a professional title The first decent champion of his career.

Maybe it's really like what Pei Wei joked when he transferred to AC Milan: "You are like Malone, you always meet Jordan! Although you are one of the greatest stars in history, you can't get a championship ring!"

But even without the ring, it doesn't detract from Malone's greatness.

****************************************
Just after Chelsea was eliminated, Inter Milan players didn't even have time to take a break, and immediately took the opportunity to rush to Turin, where they will welcome their No.30 opponent in the second round: Juventus.

Before this game, Inter Milan led the league by four points, and among the remaining seven opponents, the Italian derby opponent Juventus is the most likely to pose a threat to Inter Milan. The hope of winning the league has been lost, but Juventus has never been afraid of Inter Milan in terms of historical record. When the two teams met for the first time this season, Juventus drew 1:1 in the away game. Winning Juventus.

"As long as we cross this hurdle, we will be the league champions!" Mancini vowed to reporters before leaving for Turin.

And AC Milan's head coach Carlo Ancenotti is subtly putting pressure on Inter Milan: "Yeah, the schedule is not good for us. Inter Milan will not be able to threaten them in the next league except Juventus." opponents, and we still have to face Fiorentina, Juventus and Palermo. But Inter Milan is now at the end of its battle, and they are almost exhausted in the third line. Although their bench depth is very strong...we are drawn Eliminated from the Champions League, but from the perspective of the league championship, this is a good thing. We can concentrate on showing all our strength in the league, but Inter Milan dare not do this... I am not saying that we were eliminated Looking for excuses out of the Champions League, I believe that in the remaining seven rounds, we will put more pressure on Inter Milan, and I am happy to let Inter Milan's centenary celebration come to an end."

When the Inter Milan players heard Ancenotti's remarks, they almost fainted, but Ancenotti was right about one thing. After two fierce battles with Chelsea, the physical strength of Inter Milan's main players is indeed Almost empty.

Originally, according to Mancini's usual practice, the main players should be replaced and replaced by substitute players. With the strength of Inter Milan's substitute players, he has the confidence to do so, but the opponent in this game is the old rival Juventus. Si, just to be on the safe side, Mancini can only send all the main lineup to fight.

But he overlooked one point. After such an intensive and cruel game, the physical strength of Inter Milan's main players is indeed almost exhausted, and the effect of the Chinese decoction brought by Marco has not yet been revealed so quickly. The tenacious will defeated Chelsea, but it had exhausted the last physical strength of the main players. Even Pei Wei, who was physically fit, felt a little powerless at the last moment of the game. This in itself was a dangerous signal.

The condition of the substitute players was much better, so much so that Mancini regretted it at the end of the game. If he knew this, he might as well have sent all the substitutes on the field. At least they have good physical strength, and the effect may be even better than that of the main lineup. better.

In this game, the performance of the entire Inter Milan team was quite poor. Even the captain Zanetti with the best physical strength and the core midfielder Pei Wei were almost completely out of shape. It is also difficult for him to save the entire team from the siege of several opponents.

Klose scored his No. 607 goals this season in No. 18 minutes of the game. He received a free kick from Del Piero and scored with a header. Cesar could only cry in vain. .After that, although Mancini sent several substitutes with better physical strength to try to get back the score, the team was still powerless due to the team's powerlessness. Juventus defeated this old opponent at home 1:0 , Inter Milan lost to the opponent they were least willing to lose in the away game. At the same time, their unbeaten record in the league was also fixed at No.60 games. More importantly, in the simultaneous games, AC Milan and Roma were at the same time. They defeated Chievo and Siena respectively at home, and Inter Milan's lead was only one point and two points.

Immediately after Inter Milan lost the game, the newspapers began to declare: "Inter Milan's bench thickness cannot be said to be insufficient, nor can it be said that they have a small number of people. No team can claim to be strong - but right now they seem to be suffering from their pre-season ambitions, playing on three fronts while their opponents are all focused on one game. Maybe Mancini will now consider Giving up a certain championship, such as the Coppa Italia three days later, Palermo is not a persimmon that is easy to pinch, and in the first leg they also drew Inter Milan 0:0 away, Mancini wants to play in the league If he can do something with the Champions League, then he may have to consider giving up the three consecutive Coppa Italia championships, I believe Inter Milan's executives and fans can understand this."

I have to admit that there is some truth in these words. Italy has never had a team that won the Triple Crown. Even if there are teams that win the league championship and the European Champions Cup in the same season, they basically gave up early. The Coppa Italia is like a chicken rib, without him, compared with other European leagues, the competition for Serie A is too fierce.

Originally last season, the consensus was that Inter Milan could accomplish this feat, because their advantage in the league is too obvious. At the end of the schedule, they can completely give up the league and make a big fuss in the Champions League. Unfortunately, people's wishes do not come true , They lost to the thriving Barcelona early, and finally won the league and the Coppa Italia easily, with no strength to use.

This season, Inter Milan no longer has the same advantage as last season. Although they have been leading the league standings, their advantage has always been small, which also makes Mancini use the main players to participate in the game. The opponents on the three fronts, whether it is AC Milan and Roma in the league, Palermo in the Coppa Italia, and Udinese, the possible final opponent, are all opponents who can compete with Inter Milan wholeheartedly. They have no other However, although the opponents in the Champions League have to be distracted by the league just like Inter Milan, the Champions Cup is the most difficult and unpredictable game in the world. Who can be sure that Inter Milan will win the championship?

Therefore, although Inter Milan is still advancing on all three fronts, including most of the Inter Milan fans, they are not very optimistic about the prospects of Inter Milan.

Leverkusen's lessons from the past are there. From a possible triple crown to a ridiculous "Sanya King", isn't it caused by the intensive schedule?

In the last week of April, they will play three games in a row, away to Palermo in the semi-final of the Coppa Italia, away to Messina in the league, and away to Lyon in the semi-final of the Champions League.In just one week, he played three consecutive away games without even a break, and he couldn't lose a single one.

Professional football is very cruel, and reality is equally cruel.If Inter Milan can't survive the remaining three games, then this April will make them completely collapsed.It is even possible that there are three fronts, three championships, and the last one is not won.No matter how good they were in the early stage, sitting at the top of the league rankings for [-] consecutive weeks, and staying unbeaten for how many consecutive rounds, in the end they can only be reduced to a foil for others.Make someone else's great season, not create your own great season.

At the same time, Rome's head coach Spalletti also began to take advantage of the fire: "I have always believed that we will have the last laugh in Serie A this season. We are now invincible. Inter Milan has the task of the Champions League and the Coppa Italia. They will definitely be distracted in the league. Among the remaining six opponents of AC Milan, there are strong players like Juventus and Fiorentina. Only our schedule is the most favorable. Let's wait until the end of the league and stand on the top to receive the award It must be our Rome!"

Spalletti has enough confidence to say this. The remaining six games in Rome are not too difficult except the 36th round of the Rome derby against Lazio, and he also gave up the Champions League and Coppa Italia early. , Now the whole Roma team is strong and strong, and they are focused on attacking the league championship. As long as the Milan duo in front make a slight mistake, they will be able to come from behind and reap the benefits.

"Maybe everyone thinks I'm crazy, maybe everyone thinks I've been blinded by utilitarianism, no matter what you think, but I still want to express my own point of view."

After a day of training, Mancini called all the players in the locker room: "Those outside newspapers are very pessimistic about our prospects. They have some truth in what they say, but what I want to tell you now is that, Let those laymen die! League champions, Champions League champions, Italian Cup champions, I will not give up any of them! What a great opportunity? We are ranked first in the league, the Champions League has entered the semi-finals, and the Italian Cup has also entered the semi-finals The final...why should we give up? This year is our centenary celebration, do we want to leave regrets on this great day?"

"No!" the players answered in unison.

"Very good." Mancini looked at the players with satisfaction. At least these players, like himself, have not lost confidence: "Physical fitness is indeed a big problem, but just like a marathon, now we are very tired and our opponents are also very tired. Tired, although AC Milan and Roma do not have the task of the Champions League, their opponents in the last six rounds are much stronger than ours! Now we are one point ahead, and this advantage will still be valid after the end of the season! Do you think it is like Reggie? Will opponents like Nairobi and Siena steal points from us? Impossible! We are Inter Milan, we are the snake spirits, we are the queens of Europe! Nobody can stop us from having a great season, let's use The brilliant record makes those outside shut up! Whether it is Palermo, AC Milan, Rome, Lyon, Barcelona, ​​or Real Madrid, they can only look up to us this season and watch us create an unprecedented Italian myth!"
