Football irons are burning

Chapter 272 Advance to the Finals
But at this time, Deisler stood up. After Li Tie's special transformation, his physical fitness has been greatly strengthened. Although the ball was kicked to the ankle by Ashley Cole, it was intact after a few minutes of rest!
Even Deisler himself was a little surprised by this.

The game continues.

In contrast, Inter Milan did not have too much loss. Li Tie started to do the work of two people alone in the position of the midfielder, which was his strong point in the first place.

On the contrary, after Chelsea lost Ashley Cole, just like a lame person, only one side can come up to assist.

Coupled with the mentality of the Chelsea players, there is also some imbalance.

Before the end of halftime, Alan Smith kicked Li Tie in the back again, received a second yellow card and was sent off. Chelsea can only play 9 vs 10!
In this way, Chelsea is gone!
After the intermission, Lippi's adjustments were also timely. Drogba came down and Esposito went up to the front.Obviously, this is to let the team fight back. It is easier to get a fast horse in front.

However, Mourinho's adjustment was also very timely. He removed the two forwards Ibrahimovic and Robbie Keane, replaced them with Lebouf and Petrescu, and transferred Wu Chengying to the left.

Wu Chengying was originally a left back, but because of what happened to Arnold, he can play on both sides.

Now, Chelsea's lineup is also stable.

1:3 is not bad, if you lose the ball, you can only wash and sleep.

Now also count on luck.

However, Inter Milan obviously will not give Chelsea such luck. Since the opponent's attack power has declined, Inter Milan will naturally not take risks.

The second half was almost lethargic, with neither side making any waves.

In the end, Inter Milan beat Chelsea 1:3 away and took the lead in the semi-finals.

At the post-match press conference, Lippi accused Chelsea players of being too dirty, especially Ashley Cole and Alan Smith, who were all rushing to useless people.

"Football shouldn't be so barbaric. This is still the semi-final of the Champions League. I hope UEFA can seriously read the game report. My players can't spend the rest of their lives in wheelchairs!"

It was scary for Lippi to get angry, and the media at the scene were quite satisfied, so their press release would be easy to write.

Li Tie also said: "Ashley Cole kicked Sebastian's ankle at that time. I heard it clearly and the sound was very loud. Fortunately, Sebastian's physical fitness is good, otherwise, he would have gone to the hospital early. Alan Smith also made great moves. They were behind in the game. This is understandable. At that time, I jumped at least a little bit, otherwise I would be easily injured. Jose disappointed me. gone."

Chelsea assistant coach Boas has nothing to say. He actually has a very good relationship with Li Tie. If he wants to refute at this moment, Boas can't say it.

Zheng Zhi also has nothing to say, after losing, what else can he do?

So, the press conference was over quickly.

With three away goals and two goal difference, there is no doubt that Inter Milan has entered the final with most of their feet.

In another game, Leverkusen also played away and also defeated Manchester City 1:3.

This is an unexpected result. Manchester City's two new strikers, Irving and Kluivert, turned into cake-spitting masters. They missed at least 4 scoring opportunities in the game.

This also made Tony and Di Natale on the bench look gloomy.

Since these two came, Tony and Di Natale have basically spent time on the bench. Now that they have lost, Hiddink should have woken up, right?

However, the two are not dissatisfied. Now Nottingham Forest is contacting them. If they succeed in the Super League, Nottingham Forest will package and purchase them.

The rich Manchester City naturally look down on their lesser-known forwards, so Nottingham Forest can pick up the leak at that time.

The two also generally know that this is a team run by Li Tie's friend, so they are also willing to go.

It is estimated that Nottingham Forest will be able to re-create some news by then, which may surprise people again.

After these two teams lost, Liverpool fans and Arsenal fans were also very happy. Many people mocked Owen and Ashley Cole in interviews, thinking that they thought they had hugged their thighs, but they were still humiliated to the point of humiliation!
The media reports on the second day also denied the two losing teams, believing that their Champions League trip this season is over.

Gazzetta dello Sport: With one goal and two assists, Li Tie is still the most reliable player in Inter Milan. The prospect of Inter Milan defending the title this year is very optimistic!Although Chelsea's rude tactics caused Inter Milan to lose Pirlo and Di Biagio, but with Li Tie, everything is not a problem, he is the best one!

Bild: Leverkusen has defended the honor of the Bundesliga, Ballack's performance is becoming more and more perfect, he will become the commander of the German team in the World Cup!

The Sun: Mourinho's tactics failed completely. The three strikers did not play any role. Scoring is also a player's personal ability. If he can't make changes in the second round, the team's Champions League journey will also end.Manchester City's experience in major competitions is not rich enough. If they want to compete with Manchester United's reputation, it seems that they still have a long way to go. Jinyuan football did not achieve the effect we expected!Congratulations to Inter Milan, congratulations to Leverkusen, they can celebrate entering the final in advance!

Back in Milan, Pirlo checked the injury further, and after consideration, his season ended directly.

The team doesn't dare to take risks now, and besides, if it gets injured again, it may affect this year's World Cup. Lippi still understands this very well, and simply let Pirlo directly recover from his injury.

And Di Biagio was also suspended for three additional games, and he will not have his share in the Champions League this season.

The Champions League journey of Inter Milan's two midfielders is also over.

Fortunately, the team still has an Assuncao. This reserve is indeed very luxurious, so there is no need to worry about the lineup being incomplete.

In the 30th round of the league on the weekend, Inter Milan drew with Roma 1:1 and continued to remain unbeaten.

In the 31st round of the league, a 0:0 draw with Lecce.

In the second round of the Coppa Italia, Lazio also drew 0:0, but eliminated the opponent 3:1 in the two rounds and reached the final.

The consecutive draws, the outsiders did not mean to criticize them at all. The league has already won the championship in advance, and now it must be to accumulate strength to deal with Chelsea's second round of the game. The result of three consecutive draws will not affect the overall situation.

In the past few games, the team has been experimenting with lineups. Assuncao is a single defensive midfielder, which is quite good. The defense is not bad, but the team's offense is a bit monotonous. It is still a bit difficult to rely on two sides.

Of course, although Assuncao's passing is not as good as Pirlo's, he can still create some threats. It is still possible to dispatch the ball in the middle.

Li Tie also came back occasionally to play the midfielder, doing his old job. Once he came back, the control of the midfielder naturally became much stronger again.

It's just that the previous attack was a bit misfired, so let's adjust slowly.

The second leg of the Champions League semi-final continues.

The two leading teams returned to their home courts.

In the game between Inter Milan and Chelsea, although Mourinho did not admit defeat before the game, the process of the game explained everything.

Inter Milan lined up with iron barrels. Now, Mourinho couldn't laugh at all in the stands.

Li Tie and Assuncao form a double defensive midfielder, while Materazzi, Lucio, Barzagli, Zanetti, and Panucci form a back five, and the two full-backs Maicon and Grosso are also full-backs.

This is a defensive lineup of 9 people. It is estimated that Mourinho must be scolding his mother in his heart, thinking that Inter Milan does not want Bilian!

But Inter Milan leads by two goals and has three away goals, why should they play against you?
Even if it is not afraid of attacking, Inter Milan will not waste energy and just piss you off like this!

After the start of the game, Chelsea, who were attacking on the away field, were directly overwhelmed by Inter Milan's defense. Whether it was the wing or the center, they had no chance to create a chance to kill.

The three central defenders also strangled the opponent's three forwards, and Ibrahimovic was completely lost.

In the 20th minute, Ibrahimovic caught the ball and was firmly leaned on by Materazzi. He shook his hand and directly elbowed Materazzi. Materazzi also immediately bled!

Ibrahimovic is also a villain, this guy has a very bad temper.

Li Tie went up immediately, pointed at Ibrahimovic and cursed: "Zlatan, do you want to learn my Chinese Kung Fu?"

Seeing Li Tie's eyes, Ibrahimovic trembled in fright and ran away quickly.

However, the referee still caught up and gave him a red card!
Chelsea 10 against 11!

As long as this kind of foul action is caught by the referee, it must be a red card. Intentional injury is a very serious foul in the football rules, and the penalty is very severe.

After Materazzi went down to stitch his wound, he still came up to continue the game. This is a tough guy, which is really extraordinary.

Originally, Inter Milan’s central defender still had reserves, but Materazzi still insisted on playing. He is likely to become Inter Milan’s first captain after Li Tie leaves. This kind of tough guy is the favorite type of Inter Milan’s management, and he is also a local player.

Not only that, Materazzi is also expected to become the first captain of the Italian national team. In the past few seasons, everyone has seen his growth. It is no exaggeration to say that he is definitely the number one central defender in Italy.

With one less player, Chelsea's offense is naturally weaker. Mutu and Robbie Keane are trapped in Inter Milan's long defensive formation, and it is difficult to get shots from the front.

Instead, Inter Milan scored the first goal. In the 39th minute, Li Tie intercepted the ball and went straight. Di Canio swayed Ferdinand and then scored with a long shot from the front of the penalty area, 1:0!

Di Canio slid and knelt in celebration in excitement, and then made a throat-cutting action. This is his style, and he might be punished after the game.

Fortunately, this is Inter Milan's home court, so it is difficult to provoke the fans of the visiting team.

His shot was well grasped, the strength and angle were very good, and Buffon was helpless.

Sometimes shooting doesn't have to be powerful, and Di Canio's angle-seeking shooting is also a characteristic of an excellent striker.

This goal was also the only goal in the game.

Now, the total score of the two rounds is already 4:1!
After conceding the ball, Chelsea played more and more chaotically, and Inter Milan was naturally handy in defense, and they no longer had to stimulate their opponents in offense.

In the second half, the two sides still did not have any good performances. In the end, Inter Milan eliminated Chelsea with a total score of 4:1 in the two rounds and reached the final again!
At the end of the game, the Inter Milan fans also cheered for a long time, and refused to leave for a long time.

In this round of the series, Inter Milan is actually a tactical victory.

Round tactics, Lippi is also a master of tactics, Mourinho still has a place to learn.

When Inter Milan wants to defend, their defensive skills are much more sophisticated than Chelsea.

In the game, Inter Milan's defense made the opponent feel suffocated.

The role of Li Tie in the middle is too obvious. Through active running, all teammates are mobilized by him to cut off Chelsea's passing route.

The protection between players is done very well, basically with a distance of about 3 meters. This system is the result of several seasons of cooperation. With just one look from Li Tie, teammates know how to move.

In the whole game, Chelsea only took 4 shots, which was really stared too deadly.

At the press conference after the game, Chelsea assistant coach Villas-Boas was also amazed by Inter Milan's defense, thinking that Inter Milan's goal was clear, while Chelsea's offense fell short of standards.

"I think it's reasonable for Inter Milan to enter the final. We can't start the situation at all. The opponent's defense is quite tough, and Li Tie's running and interception in the midfield fully demonstrated his world-class midfielder strength. I congratulate Inter Milan!"

Lippi believes that it is very important for the team to take the lead in the first round, which allows the team to perform with ease in the second round.

Although the excitement of the game has certain limitations, the team's goal has been fully achieved.

In another game, Leverkusen also defeated Manchester City 1:0, and the two rounds were also 4:1, reaching the final.

The two teams with gold dollar footballs piled up both stopped, and the Premier League was completely wiped out.

The next day, the media felt that there was nothing unreasonable about this.

Gazzetta dello Sport: Inter Milan used strong control to advance to the Champions League final again. The team used different tactics in different games. Their overall strength is currently the best in Europe. No one can shake their position. As for the final, Bayer Leverkusen obviously cannot stop Inter Milan. It is already the best result for them to enter the final.

The Times: Two Premier League teams have been eliminated one after another, and the Premier League once again missed the Champions League. Except for Manchester United, it is difficult for us to see other Premier League teams have the strength to compete with European teams.

Daily Sports Daily: Inter Milan is one step closer to defending the title. Lippi's team's tactical ability is very strong, and he is an excellent coach.

The Champions League final will be played at Hampden Park Stadium in Glasgow on May 5.
