Midfielder.

Chapter 477

Kenyon, who was worried about being shady again, was still praying to God before the draw ceremony for the Champions League quarter-finals. After all, no one would like to be shady twice in a row, but there are not a few people who pray like him.

Kenyon was afraid of being stabbed in the back by the grandchildren of UEFA again, but the managers of other teams were worried that they would be unlucky to meet Chelsea, and no one wanted to be eliminated.

Everyone is a discerning person, and everyone can see how cruel and terrifying the current Chelsea team is.

Hitting Chelsea in advance of the quarter-finals is equivalent to getting a ticket home, which is still a one-way ticket. Regarding this issue, no one will avoid it, and no one wants to go further and just fall like this.

Among the top eight, Chelsea must be the most difficult to deal with. From the lineup to the players, there is no one. Facing a group of animals, you really need enough courage. After all, not everyone can be a beast.

But after all, someone has to be that unlucky ghost, such as Benfica, this very sad team.

It is needless to say too many times what Lin Yi and Mourinho had with the Benfica team. Anyway, everyone knows that Lin Yi raised the middle finger to the chairman of his club at the Stadium of Light.

And after moving to Porto, when Mourinho and Lin Yi led Porto to ravage Benfica, they absolutely spared no effort, especially Lin Yi, who became the biggest sufferer of the Stadium of Light.

Lin Yi has not scored many goals in the Portuguese Super League, but every time he meets Benfica, he will look very murderous.

Even if he can't score the goal himself, this kid will make himself a confidant of the opponent. This situation lasted until he left Portugal. It can be said that the grievances between them have never been resolved. After seeing Chelsea draw During the Benfica team, Lin Yi bared his teeth and laughed wildly.

Although Villarinho, who had trouble with Mourinho and Lin Yi, had already left the Benfica team long ago, the debt he left behind is enough to make the current chairman jump on his feet and scold the street.

"Villariño, that idiot! Idiot!" It is estimated that there will not be only one person in the top management of the Benfica club scolding this predecessor who is famous for wasting money, and he can be regarded as a public enemy.

But jumping around and scolding the street can't change the already drawn matchup draw. Benfica was so unlucky to bump into Chelsea, who is in the limelight. It doesn't work for them to pray to anyone now.

Lin Yi's small figure with white teeth exposed, in Brito's view, looks like a vampire.

"That kid must be thinking about how to score goals at the Stadium of Light right now. I bet you can bet as much as you want." Brito said to Faria, but Faria would definitely not pay attention to him.

Because even Faria knew that there must be no good intentions behind that boy Lin Yi's weird smile.

It is not so easy for Benfica. Everyone knows who is the most terrifying opponent in the quarter-finals of the Champions League. Originally, it has no confidence to attack the semi-finals.
Don't talk about praying to God now, even if you worship all the family, you may not be able to win the game!
What is Chelsea, that is a group of lunatics who can play against Barcelona, ​​a standard cattle team!

How does this kick?It is estimated that Benfica fans have already begun to lament when they saw this scene.

It was hard to break into the top eight, but now it's good, it's a stick in the head, and it's a fucking mace!

When the draw ended, the current head coach of Benfica, Koeman, looked sad. He didn't know if he was going to follow Rijkaard's footsteps and had to go home in the eight-to-four game.

Anyway, no matter how you look at it now, Chelsea and Benfica are not on the same level. There is no fair confrontation at all. As a fellow who also played for the Dutch team, Koeman is now looking melancholy.

It's really a depressing ending, but compared with Koeman's sad face at the moment and Kenyon's maniacal laughter, there is really a very sharp contrast. Chelsea this time can be regarded as a top lottery.

The weakest opponent in the quarterfinals, and Portugal is where Lin Yi and Mourinho made their fortunes. Facing this old enemy, these two animals have no idea of ​​waterproofing. They only think about how to win this game , away?Sorry, when they were raging at the Stadium of Light, there was no Koman. Compared with the foreign monk, Lin Yi and the others were no different from returning to the home game.

What's more, there are still a large number of Lin Yi's diehard fans in Portugal. Those loyal supporters of the Porto team will definitely wear Lin Yi's original team uniform in Porto to the Stadium of Light, away?Should be home!
The fact is true, when it was learned that Chelsea was going to meet Benfica, the local newspaper in Porto had nakedly posted an assembly order for Lin Yi fans the next day, calling on those loyal supporters of Lin Yi to definitely Go to the Stadium of Light to cheer for your idol, the more people the better.

The Benfica team has no time to take care of these bullshit things now. They don't have the heart to fight with the fans of their old enemies. For them, the quarterfinals may be their final stop.

Regardless of what Koeman said after the draw, everyone knows how difficult it is for Benfica to win Chelsea.

"We will do our best to play these two games well. We are both the top eight teams. Benfica will not bow to anyone easily." When many people copied it down, they still automatically classified it as the Benfica team's stubbornness.

After all, it is obvious to all how brutal Chelsea was after killing Barcelona. Not to mention their already strong defensive counterattacks, the offense of these guys is also very fierce now.

This may be the only matchup in the quarter-finals where the outcome has already been determined after the draw. Even if Benfica thinks they have the ability to fight, others don't think so.

Even the gaming companies have ignored the unpopularity in football matches this time. Unless they can buy off all of Chelsea's main players, otherwise, even if they are on the bench, Benfica will not be able to bear it.

This is the gap between the Premier League and the Portuguese Super League. The leader of the Portuguese Super League is in the Premier League, and it is difficult to enter the top six.

The Benfica team, which had finally reached the quarter-finals, has already been nailed to the eliminated list this time.

However, compared with their clear-cut confrontation between strong and weak, the remaining three groups may have more interesting fights. Arsenal hit Juventus this time, and Vieira can return to Highbury Stadium.

But this time he will return as an opponent. I really don't know if there will be more boos or more applause at Highbury. After all, the old captain was also one of the most supported players at Arsenal.

However, it is really hard to say who will win the battle between Arsenal and Juventus. If Wenger becomes utilitarian, he may know how to control the game better than the old lady in Serie A. Juventus' two-lane battle The disadvantages will also be shown at the end of the season, and Arsenal can now be regarded as having nothing else to do.

After all, there is nothing to look forward to in the league. In addition to fighting for the top four in the league, Arsenal can concentrate on preparing for the Champions League, but Juventus now has to consider the results of the league.

They still have a chance to win the championship, although Juventus is a bit of a sign of trouble now, and Capello's non-rotational energy has kept them exhausted, which is not good news.

And recently Juventus' number one center, Comrade Zlatan Ibramovich, hasn't had a tie in the Champions League for a long time. This guy was very strong in the first three games of the group stage, but he began to weaken in the later stages.

Especially after entering the knockout rounds, in the two rounds of the top [-], this guy didn't accomplish anything.

It's no wonder that some people criticize this guy's psychological quality, saying that he is invincible in the league and helpless in the cup.

Although this is a bit biased, Ibramovich's performance in the Champions League has indeed always been a bit weak.

Especially when confronting strong teams, this guy often behaves tepidly, but once in the league, he can always score earth-shattering goals. Who knows why!
Anyway, no matter how neat the Juventus lineup is, it depends on this lineup and Arsenal's young guards. Their physical fitness is definitely a serious problem. If they are not careful, they will capsize in the gutter, and Wenger And Capello can also be regarded as a series of coaches, and they are also very cunning.

It is not easy for any of them to calculate each other, at least in the eyes of outsiders.

Perhaps the only thing Juventus can rely on is their order of away first, but Highbury's away game is not so easy to play. Even Vieira said that Highbury rarely loses. Of course, this premise It's Arsenal not running into Manchester United or Chelsea, especially Chelsea's livestock.

It's hard to say which of these two teams will win, at least no one can give an accurate prediction.

This is a half-pound versus eight-two match, and whoever performs better will have the last laugh.

AC Milan's luck this time is not bad, Chelsea picked Benfica, and they picked Lyon.

Although Lyon has been performing well in the Champions League in recent years, after selling their main players for three consecutive years, their strength has been declining, and they are no longer so difficult.

At least after the Italian media saw that AC Milan had selected Lyon, many people believed that they would definitely cross the opponent's interception, advance smoothly to the semi-finals, and wait for the semi-finals with Chelsea.

But Mourinho's hurtful person is always thinking about making his opponent suffer, especially after he has chosen a weak opponent. He expects the Lyon team to make the Italians suffer a little bit.

Although the Lyon team has been selling the main force in the past few years, it is not so easy for AC Milan to gnaw it down based on their personnel mix, not to mention that Mourinho also fanned the flames intentionally or unintentionally.

"The Lyon team has the ability to enter the semi-finals. Just like the previous two seasons, after they have won the Ligue [-] championship, they will definitely put all their energy into these two confrontations with AC Milan."

This is a typical representative of fearing that the world will not be chaotic. There are many harms that Mourinho has tripped people up.

Ancelotti is about to hate the beast that took away his championship last season. It's not counting that he took away the Champions League trophy last season. Now he even misses this season's championship!And he's so fucking blatantly playing tricks on his opponents!This grandson's methods are too ruthless!

However, Mourinho will not pay attention to the opponent's counterattack or abuse. For him, making trouble for the opponent is the most important task. As for whether the opponent is harmed by him, he will not care.

In the deadlock between AC Milan and Lyon, what Mourinho hopes most is a situation where both losers. Even if they can't prevent AC Milan from joining him in the semi-finals, they will have to pay the price.

Either there will be more red and yellow cards, or a few injuries will be dragged down for the opponent. Mourinho will be very satisfied with this result. At least he thinks that the Lyon team has this strength and can stumbling the opponent.

Inter Milan may have better luck than their rivals in the same city. They have won the Champions League first-timer Villarreal, but this rookie does not seem to be so easy to deal with, especially the opponent's state recently. Has been good, with the premise of the Champions League, it can still rank among the top three in La Liga.

Two-lane combat is also capable of overpowering Real Madrid. This kind of strength should not be underestimated. In addition to Riquelme, the core of the midfield, strong players like Forlan and Jose Mari are also very vigorous.

This iron triangle shape in the frontcourt has pierced the gates of many teams in La Liga. I don't know if Toldo can defend Inter Milan's city this time. It is not easy to judge such a matchup.

But overall, Chelsea's matchup is the easiest, but Benfica suffered.

Although he got a good lottery, it seems that Mourinho's preparations here are not less, but more detailed. He even regards Benfica's recent usual tactics as research objects. Man, he also took the time to study it, especially his habits when changing players.

"According to our strength, it is not a problem to win them." Brito couldn't help reminding his old partner in such a tone when he watched Mourinho prepare so carefully for the game against Benfica.

"Strength does not represent the final result. Don't forget that in Porto, if we ranked by strength, no matter how we calculate, it will not be our turn to lift the final trophy." Mourinho is not the kind of cautious person , but this does not mean that he will not be guarded against being attacked by his opponent at some point.

Benfica's hard power is definitely not as good as Chelsea, but they have to guard against any tricks they will use for themselves. Mourinho always tricks others, so he also has to be on guard against others using their own methods to fight back against others It would be a disgrace to Chelsea if it stumbled against such an opponent.

Be careful in everything and always pay attention. This is the key to Mourinho's success in the position of head coach. He will not ignore any opponent, just like now, he will pay attention to every opponent.

Moreover, Mourinho is also very careful to adjust the state of his players. After all, after a peak game, the players will inevitably be a little lax. Maybe he is too used to his winning streak.

When they face opponents whose strength is not as good as their own, they cannot concentrate immediately.

Although superhuman ability can ensure that they will not panic when they are behind, Mourinho does not intend to catch up when they are behind every game. This kind of game is not fun.

Especially in the Champions League, this kind of slow behavior will make them lose their strategic initiative.

When playing against a weak team, there may still be time to reverse the disadvantage, but if they are playing against an opponent like AC Milan, an unnecessary mistake or carelessness may bring them into ruin.

And when the season began to enter the final stage, Mourinho was also carefully adjusting the physical condition of the main players. Although they have been rotating this season, the physical consumption is still very large in multi-line battles. At the end of the season, the main players like Lampard and Lin Yi will always feel that their muscles are fatigued, which is hard to avoid.

The league has now almost evolved into a battlefield for Chelsea to adjust their status. Mourinho has the patience and ability to engage in such rotations and experiments, although their strength will still cause headaches for opponents.

Just like when Mourinho met Tottenham Hotspur, who he was about to meet in the League Cup final in the league, he only played Drogba and Lampard as the main players. If the two guys want to score goals, Mourinho may not even need to let them enter the starting lineup, but it is such a lineup with most of the substitute players that they beat Tottenham [-]-[-].

Before the start of the game, all Chelsea came out to commemorate the passing of Osgood, the legendary striker in the history of Chelsea.

Now it can only be said that he was the former King of Stamford Bridge, and the current guy is a little madman.

However, after the silence, the Chelsea team, even if it was not the main force, started a massacre.

There is no fancy attack, just the standard simple effect, Drogba's rush to the goal, Lampard's heavy bombardment in the middle, and Cassano's astute leak detection in front of the goal.

Although before the end of the game, Dawson overwhelmed Huth with a header in the penalty area, and Janus faced the attacking Cudicini from the outside of his right foot ten meters in the middle, but this was only in the It's just to save a little face for Tottenham, the game has lost suspense as early as six 10 minutes later.

Tottenham also continue to maintain a very embarrassing record. They have never defeated Chelsea since 1990. I don’t know how long this record will last. Can it end in the League Cup?

It is estimated that even Tottenham fans will not have this kind of fantasy. To lose in the final with dignity is already considered a good treatment. Do you still want to win?Did you not wake up last night?Let's dream!
It can't be said that Chelsea has won the League Cup, but the lack of half of the main force has already defeated the opponent. There is really no suspense for this championship. . .
