Chapter 161

plague!Terrible plague!This is an irresistible plague that has swept across the entire European league and destroyed all previous order!

Just like what Mourinho muttered on the sidelines of the Gerland Stadium, the world has indeed gone crazy, and it is so crazy that everyone is at a loss.

In the past 24 hours, I am afraid that the whole of Europe has been immersed in an atmosphere of skepticism that cannot be extricated, and everything has become unpredictable.

what is the truthWhat is an illusion?What should be?What should not be?What is a standard?What is absurdity?It's all messed up.

Any fucking so-called professionalism and discussion under normal reason have become meaningless after these 24 hours. A plague beyond everyone's greatest imagination has completely wiped out the order of European football. Destroyed the night banquet of wealthy families that had been going on for decades.

The four teams of non-traditional giants have completely degraded the European Champions Cup, which was once known as a five-star game, into a Uefa Cup game like a food stall.

Even UEFA officials complained privately that this damn team lineup is not as luxurious as last year's UEFA Cup. Is this still the European Champions Cup?
It is estimated that the TV station that bought the rights to broadcast the UEFA Champions League match must be the most popular now. They really don’t know if there are still people who will spend money to buy out the advertising time of the semi-finals and finals. After all, the ratings will be very worrying. It may be something that no one thought of before the start of the Champions League.

April 4th is the traditional and ancient Easter in Europe, but since it came, all traditions and orders have been dead.

All the followers of the giants, when Easter comes, can only helplessly sing "Requiem" for the team they regard as their lives.

The bustling traditional giants of European football, because of these two obscure match days, have become coquettish and ethereal, with vague arias floating in the air.

Arsenal, representing elegance, Real Madrid, representing luxury, and Milan, representing stability, were all thrown into a huge funeral ceremony.

Half a month ago, if someone dared to say that he could predict the future, the best way would be to let him write the final list of the Champions League semi-finals.

If his writing is correct, then this guy is either a prophet or a time traveler, because this may be the weirdest competition in the past half century.

None of the semi-finals of the Champions League can be considered a wealthy team, and even the quasi-rich teams seem very reluctant, purely for a long-term soy sauce.

Among the teams that did not lose in the first round, only the Porto team kept their undefeated golden stature in the away game, and all the remaining teams fell.

Especially the giant teams like Real Madrid and AC Milan who killed their opponents by a big score in the first round, the loser is called a splash.

It is estimated that if someone bets on this game, I don't know how many people will lose their fortunes and lose their bones, because this game is too weird.

Just like Brito's expression of surprise when he heard the result of AC Milan, the whole of Italy was so dazed that night. The team that could solve it in only 10 minutes at San Siro, 4:1 The point difference, the ultra-luxurious lineup, and the rock-solid defense.

Everything seemed to indicate before the start of the game that this was just a meaningless away trip, and the result was already doomed.

But God told the Italians with facts that the Iberian Peninsula will always be a world that you can't see through, and it seems like there is magic here.

Spanish ancient books tell us that the Galicia region in the northern part of the Iberian Peninsula has always been a land full of witchcraft and spells.

This time, Deportivo showed their mysterious magic in front of fans all over Europe. This was a 90-minute magic feast.

Some teams just like to break out in desperation. This poor team, which has always emphasized overall combat and has a low transfer budget, can not fear any opponent when it is crazy. There have been too many classics of the weak defeating the strong in the Asian pair.

Only this time, AC Milan became their souls under the knife. Before the opening, Deportivo needed to score three goals to advance.

Faced with an AC Milan team with a quasi-Italian national team defense, this is basically an impossible task. Deportivo has proved this in the away game. They lost the last game very badly. Three goals, that's the gift the Italians gave them.

But everyone forgets that Deportivo is the craziest knife in Spain. When they fight, they can destroy everything.

In the fifth round of the league match, Real Madrid was kicked on the Bernabeu turf by Deportivo, who had a draw and a loss.

In that game, Real Madrid had no chance to fight back from the beginning to the end. It was at the Bernabeu, and it was the first time Queiroz heard the sound of getting out of class.

This is the Deportivo team. They dared to lose 0:2 at home to the bottom team in the league, and they dared to pretend to be a master on Real Madrid's territory!
You can never predict what kind of bear this group of guys can play in the next game, but when they are on the verge of desperation, they will suddenly explode.

Just like this game, from the moment the whistle blew, they were all for it, and Irueta looked like a conqueror when he stood on the sidelines.

He is urging the team's offense with his crazy shouts. Even if the defender fails to press in time, this guy will reprimand him hoarsely.

Under the impetus of Irueta, the 11 players of the Deportivo team launched an impact on AC Milan's concrete defense.

Compared with Ancelotti, Irueta brought this kind of neurotic temperament to the entire Deportivo team, and they went crazy collectively.

Pandiani, Belleron, Luke and Forlan who came off the bench, it is estimated that in the next few months, Italians will remember these names.

Deportivo de La Coruña returned to AC Milan everything they encountered at San Siro two weeks ago, and the score at the end of the first half was already 3:0.

Forlan's goal in the second half completely nailed AC Milan to the pillar of shame. This bad night can be regarded as the worst defeat of the Rossoneri.

The last time AC Milan lost so embarrassingly was 46 years ago, but this night, they once again experienced the bitterness of losing that year.

There is no savior in the ultra-luxury lineup, Kaka, Shevchenko, Inzaghi, Nesta, no one can really save AC Milan.

A luxurious lineup does not mean victory. This truth was repeated twice in the Champions League's eight-to-four competition. The first time was AC Milan, and the second time was Real Madrid.

Like the unlucky Italians, Real Madrid was an old player who was abandoned by them this time, and was stabbed twice at home in Monaco.

Leading 4:2 in the first round, and leading by another goal in the away game, Real Madrid had even half-stepped into the semi-finals before the end of the first half, but Morientes used his own With his head, he pushed back this group of proud white-clothed warriors abruptly.

The Monaco team did not have any subtle coordination. Deschamps, a pragmatist, pursued a simple and direct offensive method, breaking through from the wing and crossing.

Giuly and Roten's breakthroughs, and Morientes' grabbing points, relying on this routine, they once defeated the Deportivo team 8:3 in the group stage.

This time they still relied on this simple offensive method to overthrow Real Madrid, with a strong header and a goal in front of the goal, which is enough.

With one pass and one shot, the former center forward of the Spanish national team, who was regarded by Florentino as a tasteless one, retaliated mercilessly once.

Although Morientes and Raul, his old partner, could hug each other affectionately before the start of the game, he became an avenger during the game.

Morientes never said anything about revenge to Florentino, but this guy's actual actions came very quickly.

Throughout the game, the abandoned general of the Real Madrid team used his powerful performance to overshadow all the superstars on the entire Galacticos.

The only light sources left on the Real Madrid team are probably the shiny bald heads of Carlos, Zidane and Ronaldo.

A lineup worth more than 1 million euros stacked together, just lost in front of the French, Queiroz can't even find a solution.

This tragic guy tried to find the reason for his failure after the game, but the media has already begun to predict the day when he will be laid off.

The management of the entire Real Madrid team will not give this guy any more chances, even if he pays a huge liquidated damages, he will not hesitate.

Anyway, the people of Madrid now wish this bad guy can get out of the team as soon as possible. He has brought a disastrous season to Real Madrid.

Not only can they only rank third in the league now, but in the UEFA Champions League, which they value most, they can't even make it to the top four. What a stick!
Real Madrid's most proud offense was gone this time. Only Raul's goal in the game was considered a threat.

Neither Zidane nor Ronaldo could frighten the Monaco team in the game. The French can even say that they have no pressure.

Even in the No.80 minute of the game, Deschamps dared to replace Morientes from the field and accept the worship of the whole Monaco alone.

This is simply slapping Florentino, who is sitting in the stands at the moment, with a big mouth. This is the first time in five years that Real Madrid missed the semi-finals.

And the knife that stabbed them to death was given to Deschamps by Florentino himself. This is probably the most ironic joke in this Champions League.

Compared with these two tragic guys, Arsenal's death is not too unjust, at least they have not been reversed by their opponents, one draw and one loss, at least it looks good.

But Arsenal has been able to maintain an unbeaten record in the Premier League, but Wenger fell at the feet of the Chelsea team he hated the most, which made the professor very angry.

If it is said that Ferguson was Wenger's sworn enemy before, then starting from this season, Chelsea has successfully replaced Sir Alex Ferguson.

Especially Peter Kenyon's way of waving checks to attract Arsenal players openly made the professor even more disgusted with them.

The Chelsea team is such a gangster, they don't care about the rules, they just put the check under the opponent's nose so blatantly.

Ashley Cole, Vieira, Henry, these are the targets of Chelsea's acquisitions, and they have even made high salary promises to the players.

Sometimes the London derby is not only on the field, but also on the negotiating table, where a lot of money is the master of everything.

Wenger was forced to adjust his salary structure because of such a fierce acquisition trend by the Chelsea people. It is no wonder that he hates Chelsea so much.

But the reality is so ruthless. In the league, the professor can suppress Chelsea's rising momentum, but he lost to his opponent in the Champions League.

In the two rounds of the match, the Arsenal team had never taken advantage of it. Compared with their opponents, they obviously lacked a brave temperament.

The "King of Highbury" Henry also lost his sharp attacking edge, completely submerged in Chelsea's muscular defense.

"Only the national league is the mirror that truly reflects the strength of a team. Even if any team can really win the Champions League, it does not prove that their strength is the strongest in Europe, it only shows that they are lucky enough ’” That’s what Wenger told reporters after his elimination.

Perhaps when he said these words, Wenger was still holding back his anger. He could only use the fact that he led Chelsea by eight points in the league to cover up the depression of defeat.

Within a week, he was knocked out of the FA Cup by Manchester United with a score of 1-0, and then he was knocked out by Chelsea in the quarter-finals of the Champions League. I really can't blame Wenger for being so resentful when he spoke. The morale of the Arsenal team can be said to have dropped to the bottom at this moment.

Originally, the unbeaten record of a season in the third-line battlefield went hand in hand, but within a week, it was overthrown by two main opponents consecutively.

No matter who it is, it probably won't be in a good mood. Wenger is already good-tempered if he doesn't scold in front of the media. With only sneakers, the exit from the Champions League cost Arsenal a lot.

Originally, the construction of the new stadium made Wenger's pocketbook not very rich. Now that Arsenal has been eliminated again, he has lost a large amount of income.

I really don't know where the French will find some money to continue to contribute to the team when the summer comes, which is a lot of money.

Especially Lin Yi, whom he was fancying. When Chelsea and Manchester United were eyeing each other, Wenger already had a premonition that this would be a big deal.

Not many people care about the mood of these losers now, although the newspapers still analyze the various reasons for the elimination of the giants at length.

Those few teams that successfully broke into the semi-finals will be the focus in the future, especially between Monaco, Chelsea and Porto, and there are many other factors mixed in. Ranieri, Mourinho and Deschamps The wrestling of the three may be the biggest highlight of the Champions League semi-finals.

On one side is Peter Kenyon and the Italian coach who are not satisfied with the Russian boss, and the other two are coaching candidates that Chelsea wants to recruit.

The result of this kind of duel may be to decide who can win the Chelsea team. This kind of suspense is the topic of interest to those media reporters.

Chelsea not only set off a bloodbath in the transfer market, they even refused to let go of the head coach's circle, rich people are so confident.

But what is very funny is that in the past, the worse the club's record, the more attention the media will pay to the fate of the team's head coach.

Now Chelsea is on the contrary. When they are fighting on two fronts, the better the team's record, the more suspenseful whether Ranieri will be dismissed from get out of class.

If Chelsea's performance is not good, it is natural for Ranieri to leave, but Chelsea have reached the semi-finals of the Champions League, which is a record in their team history, and they are also chasing Arsenal in the Premier League. With the current momentum, both champions have some hope.

But with such excellent results, news about Ranieri's departure next season is still heard, and even the candidates have been selected.

Both Mourinho and Deschamps are on the list, and Mendes can testify to this, so no matter whether Ranieri wins or loses, he is a tragic figure.

I just don't know if Peter Kenyon and Abramovich will change their minds if he can bring Chelsea to the top of Europe.

Anyway, the competition between these three people will become the hottest topic in the semi-finals, especially the first confrontation between Didier Deschamps and Ranieri.

Different from those hot topics in the media, after the final four list was finalized, the Porto team seemed very quiet and did not celebrate too wildly.

If after defeating Manchester United, Mourinho's biggest wish is to take the team to the Schalke Stadium, then now he is already coveting the final championship, which may be the pinnacle of the Champions League for him to lead the team The best opportunity, if missed, may be his greatest regret.

If Real Madrid, AC Milan and Arsenal occupied the other three seats, Mourinho would not be so arrogant to fantasize about the feeling of being a champion.

But now compared with Porto, the other three teams are also on the same starting line, which does not allow Mourinho not to consider the issue of the final.

Deportivo, the nerve knife of La Liga, is sharp, but Mourinho is confident that in the two rounds of the game, he will successfully end the opponent.

The Porto team was able to successfully pass so many checkpoints, relying on their stable performance, and they did not have too many loopholes in offense and defense.

This is very different from Deportivo's frantic performance. Even if the opponent is in high spirits now, Mourinho is sure to kill the opponent.

It doesn't matter who is the final winner between the other two teams. Porto has won both Ligue [-] and the Premier League.

Especially against the French team, the record of winning all four games can make the Porto team full of confidence. The victory over Manchester United will make the Porto people no longer afraid of the British's toughness. Perhaps, to lift the final trophy, really It's not a dream, the glory of 1986 may really reappear. . .

(Recently, Emperor Yi's performance, I'm so sad...)
