Football irons are burning

Chapter 225 Crazy Li Tie
In the 12th round of the league, Inter Milan played away against Atlanta.

Originally, Roma and Juventus were going to stage a strong dialogue, which was a good opportunity for Inter Milan.

However, you have to play your own game well first.

Although the Atlanta team is not a big team, this club has produced many stars. Vieri and Inzaghi, who are now in the limelight, are all from this team. It is a pity that they can't keep their talents and run away.

This is the tragedy of small clubs. They may be able to make some money, but they don't have any long-term prospects.

If Vieri and Inzaghi were still in this team, they would definitely be a Champions League team.

This season, the Atlanta team has performed well and is currently ranked 8th in the standings.

The result of the game, 0:6, Atlanta scored 6 goals at home.

Only 9 minutes into the game, Li Tie made a straight pass, Eto'o knocked back a penalty, and Drogba made it overnight.

After 5 minutes, Drogba reciprocated, received a pass from Deisler with a header, Eto'o grabbed a point in the penalty area and scored first, 0:2!

In the 20th minute, Li Tie received a pass from the backcourt and stopped directly to Franck Ribery who was on the wing.

After Ribery quickly waded through Benelli, he suddenly swept in front of the goal. Eto'o touched it lightly, 0:3!

This score was scored in 20 minutes, and the home team was beaten.

The home fans were also silent, no one said a word.

This is the gap with the strong teams. Atalanta played pretty well at home before, but today they met Inter Milan and were soon overwhelmed.

After that, Atlanta did not slow down, and Inter Milan seized the opportunity to score three more goals, killing the home team.

Li Tie once again played the whole game and participated in almost all the goals. His running and interception in the midfield are still very good, his attack is very sharp, and his breakthrough still makes the opponent hard to defend.

With such physical fitness, the media who questioned him before shut up this round.

Now some people even nicknamed Li Tie "crazy".

Even the opponents praised Li Tie as irreplaceable. After Li Tie came back, the sorrow of other teams came.

"Everyone has seen the existence of Li Tie. He made the whole game his exhibition game. Driven by Li Tie, Inter Milan's offensive and defensive transitions are very fast. It is difficult for ordinary teams to support their rhythm. Once they lose the ball, they collapse faster. Our goal is to avoid relegation and we don't care about winning the championship, but Roma and Juventus should care. I personally think that Inter Milan has basically no suspense in defending the title this season."

Atalanta coach Lotito said.

Lippi said: "Our offensive power is very sharp, which is the result of training. Li Tie is in good shape now. He is our core. We will not give up in the third-line battle. Of course, Eto'o is in a very hot state now. He is a very good guy and can fully grasp the opportunity. When Ronaldo left, many people questioned our scoring ability. Now they should all shut up."

In another focus game, Roma and Juventus played 0:0. Now, Inter Milan took advantage of it, only 3 points away from the top of the list.

This is the snipe and clam fighting for the fisherman's gain. The two teams fought to the death and did not score a single goal.

Roma captain Totti was also injured and left the field midway, suffering heavy losses.

It is said that Totti will be injured for at least one month, which means that the Roma team is likely to fall behind.

Without Totti's Roma team, it will definitely be lowered a notch.

现在三个球队的积分差距很有意思，罗马队9胜3平30分，尤文图斯9胜2平1负29分，国米8胜3平1负27分。

The gap of one goal can settle the Roma team.

With the opponent like this, Inter Milan is of course full of stronger self-confidence.

Li Tie is also very powerful now. He said in an interview with reporters on Monday: "We are only 3 points behind the top of the list, but the Roma team has lost their core Totti, which gives us all hope. Of course, I hope Totti can recover as soon as possible, so that our defense will be more valuable."

This is a typical arrogant behavior, and Li Tie is becoming more and more arrogant when he speaks now.

In the second round of the Coppa Italia quarter-finals in the middle of the week, Inter Milan once again swept the Chievo team 6:0, scoring a big score of 15:0 in the two rounds, which is also a rare score in the knockout round.

Li Tie still performed crazy, scoring 5 goals with overhead kicks, almost becoming the team's third striker.

Of course, some people said that Li Tie was collecting data, but Li Tie was really exhausted, so his desire to attack was very strong.

How can a team like Chievo stop Li Tie's crazy attack?
It is estimated that Chievo will have a psychological shadow when he meets Inter Milan in the future.

After this round, the winter break has also come, and this year the winter break has also been brought forward a little bit.

Inter Milan ended the journey in 3 as No.2000 during the winter break.

The team disbanded, and everyone began to take vacations.

Li Tie stayed in Milan, and Liu Fei became pregnant again, so she had to stay in Milan to raise her baby.

Li Tie didn't go anywhere else.

This winter is still very cold, and the villa is also equipped with heating.

Living quietly at home, Li Tie feels that this year seems to be a bit good, and his mood is relatively quiet, and he is no longer so impetuous.

Entering 2001, the winter transfer also came.

Inter Milan has not made a deal, and now the team is stable, there is no need to move at all.

Other teams also occasionally make small moves. Under the influence of Chelsea's Jinyuan football, the value of players is now rising.

Therefore, this year's winter transfer is relatively quiet. Winter is a minor operation. Who would be willing to spend a lot of money to introduce players?

Instead, Chelsea spent another £2800 million to poach Robbie Keane from Manchester City.

Robbie Keane himself also wanted to go to a wealthy club. Chelsea also paid a high salary, directly giving him a weekly salary of 13 pounds, while he didn't have half of it in Manchester City.

This season's Premier League has become a four-nation war. At present, the Premier League has played 17 rounds. Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea have the same points, all with 44 points, while Manchester City ranks fourth with 43 points, which is surprising. It is only 1 point away from the top of the list.

Robbie Keane is currently playing very well, scoring 17 goals in 21 rounds, with an average of 1.23 per game. In one and a half seasons in Manchester City, he scored a total of 51 goals, and his scoring efficiency is also quite high.

Therefore, they were directly spotted by Chelsea. They wanted to directly copy Manchester City's striker combination.

At present, Ibrahimovic plays an obvious role in Chelsea, but it is a pity that Crespo is a bit unacceptable and has few goals. Now that Robbie Keane has passed, it is estimated that Crespo's life will be even more difficult.

Naturally, Manchester City will not refuse this price. In fact, if Robbie Keane is gone, there are still several shooters who can step up. The key is that Chen Tao has not left. Chen Tao currently has 19 assists in the Premier League and is currently the Premier League assist leader.

Compared with the 300 million pounds that Robbie Keane brought in that year, this is a huge profit.

Selling Robbie Keane, Viduka, Gudjohnsen, etc. can all be in the top position, and the team's offensive power will still not be weak.

Other than that, there are no decent transfers.

Among them, Roy Keane announced a free transfer to China's Jinmen Tigers. Although he has recovered a lot from his injuries, he has no place in Manchester United. Essien's performance made him feel disheartened and decided to leave Manchester United.

Ferguson treated this disciple with the utmost benevolence, and did not ask for a penny of transfer fees. He can also play a certain role in the Super League retirement.

Now the Chinese Super League has also gained a solid reputation as a nursing home, but any star who has passed away will choose the Chinese Super League as the last stop.

At this time, UEFA held a meeting. After the meeting, it announced further reforms to the UEFA Champions League next season and officially canceled the second round of the group stage.

After the first round of 32 teams in the group stage, the top 16 will be directly determined for a two-round knockout round.

It seems that Platini urgently needs to make some reforms of his own.

The lack of one round of group matches increases the chances of an upset for a weaker team. After all, compared with six group matches in a two-round knockout match, everyone knows which one has a higher probability of being upset.

In addition, the UEFA Cup will be officially renamed the Europa League, and the participating teams will continue to expand.

UEFA's current two major competitions, the Champions League and the Europa League, are enough to allow clubs from various countries to get sufficient training opportunities every season.

On January 1, the AFC also held a meeting.

After the three-day meeting, the AFC also announced a series of reforms.

Since 2001, the AFC has officially launched the Asian Football Champions League. The first AFC Champions League has a total of 32 participating teams, the same as the UEFA Champions League.

Among them, the top three teams in AFC points, a total of four teams participated, three teams from 4-6 participated, and two teams from 7-10 participated.

The general competition system is similar to the Champions League.

The 32 teams are divided into 8 groups, adopting the group home and away game round-robin system, the top two in each group enter the top 16, and then draw lots to catch the home and away two-round elimination system, and so on.

This year's final will be held in Kuala Lumpur, and the champion will be determined in a single match.

Each subsequent final will be submitted by each country.

The competition system of the AFC Champions League is almost exactly the same as that of the Champions League, but the influence must not be compared.

At the same time, the AFC formally issued an invitation to the Australian and New Zealand Football Associations to invite them to join the AFC.

As soon as this news came out, it made people feel that the AFC still had intentions.

It is estimated that other football associations did not agree, but these two countries agreed.

The Australian and New Zealand teams are unlucky. In fact, they are not weak, but because Oceania only has 0.5 places each time, it is basically Australia who competes with the unsuccessful teams from other continents for the World Cup.

They are either competing with Europe or South America, but they can't always compete.

Joining the AFC now will definitely make it easier to compete.

This time, they also joined the AFC ahead of schedule.

It is estimated that some variables will also occur in this year's world preliminaries.

Sure enough, two days later, the AFC announced that the Australian and New Zealand Football Associations would join the AFC. FIFA also agreed to this. The merger of the Asian and Oceanian regions will have three World Cup places.

2.5+0.5=3, which is also reasonable.

At the same time, officially revise this year's World Preliminary Asian competition.

The Australian team and the New Zealand team joined the first round of the group stage, so the first round of the group stage was re-drawn.

The draw of the national football team has not changed much. It is still in a group with Indonesia, Singapore and Guam.

However, the Australian team entered the UAE group. It seems that the competition in this group will be very fierce.

New Zealand entered the group of Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan, and several Central Asian teams may also have certain variables. In terms of strength, this is the death group in Asia.

The first place in each group enters the top ten, and this competition system remains unchanged for the time being.

However, the next World Cup cycle may change.

Seeing such news, Li Tie felt that it was a bit interesting. He said that at the beginning, but he didn't expect that the AFC would do it right away.

It seems that the competitiveness of Asian football in the future should become stronger and stronger.

Playing in a more competitive environment is also good for the Chinese team, and the province's competitiveness will decline in the future.

Li Tie has no idea how far this matter will develop in the future, but it is always a good thing that football develops in a good direction.

In fact, if Russia, Ukraine, and Turkey can come in, it will be even more powerful. Unfortunately, these countries must have become accustomed to European football.

In addition to their geographical aspect, they have been in Europe for a long time. It is really not an ordinary difficulty to achieve this goal.
