Chapter 347

When they arrived in North London, the players were very tired, and the club also arranged a special car to send the players home one by one.

Shao Bo, who returned home, could not fall asleep at this time. Lying on the bed, he got up and walked to the study to write down his experience today.

Emma had already fallen asleep at this time, and only the slight sound of keyboard tapping could be heard echoing in the study.

……

The night of the game was so exhausting that Shao Bo didn't even notice the scores between the other teams.

The "Sixteen to Eight" knockout round of the UEFA Champions League has ended, and now the latest quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League have all been decided.

Fortunately, the last few Premier League teams except Arsenal were all unbeaten.But in this round, three of the four Premier League teams that qualified for the group stage broke through.

Manchester United and Barcelona had one win and one loss. Finally, with a corner kick in the final stoppage time of the game, Manchester United overwhelmed Barcelona in total score and successfully advanced.

Liverpool, on the other hand, relied on the advantage of one draw and one win to qualify calmly. With Liverpool, according to the rules summed up by good people, this year's Champions League champion should be a popular strong team.

Judging from the current situation, the quarterfinals of the Champions League are all well-known teams. It is not surprising who among them wins the championship.

As one of the favorites, Bayern Munich knocked Chelsea out.

It is rumored that the furious Abramovich has decided to terminate the contract with Eriksson after the end of this season.As for who the next head coach of the Blues is, it is still unknown.

Maybe Abramovich just made an impulsive decision, and he didn't think about which head coach to choose.

The quarterfinals took three seats!

The current heyday of the Premier League is not much worse than the "Four Finals in the Champions League, La Liga has three" in La Liga back then.

After Barcelona was eliminated by Manchester United, Real Madrid and Deportivo saved face for Spanish football, becoming the only league with two clubs to advance to the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

Deportivo and AC Milan once again staged a classic reversal, which also reflects the current decline of Serie A.

As for Inter Milan and Bayern Munich, they both outshone others and discovered that there are no compatriots in their country's league in the Champions League.

Juventus, who led the way in Serie A, beat Arsenal to become the No. [-] Juventus in the Champions League group stage, but unexpectedly lost to the little-known Porto in the first knockout round.

As Lippi who has won the Champions League and as the head coach who has played against him many times, Shao Bo knows him quite well.

Based on the traditional Italian style of defense, slowly grinding the opponent to death, this is Juventus' current style.

But Porto did better, their defense was more tenacious, and their counterattack was faster and sharper.

After two games, only one goal was scored.

And this goal belongs to the winning Porto.

Juventus coached by Lippi didn't even survive the first round of the knockout round?

In the eyes of outsiders, this is simply impossible. Is their opponent Real Madrid or Bayern Munich?
Porto, which won the Europa League last season, really received the attention of the major giants at this time.

Although they won the Triple Crown last season, the Portuguese League where Porto is located is not influential enough after all.

Now judging from the points in the European war, they have surpassed the Eredivisie and are closely following the declining Ligue [-].

The problem is that the audience is too small. Porto won the Champions League in 1987, but which team really regards Porto as a strong opponent?

Even if it is Arsenal, they have never been in contact with the Big Ears Cup of the Champions League, but which club dares to stay a little bit stronger in the game against Arsenal?

Mourinho's current qualifications are still too young. Without the Champions League champion as a foundation, he dare not be so arrogant to future generations.

After defeating Juventus, he even said "lucky" and "lucky" at the press conference.

I just don't know how long such a humble state can be maintained.

The opponents that Porto faced when they won the championship final in 1987 met Porto again in this knockout round.

I don't know if Bayern Munich can get away with it, and I don't know if Mourinho can break through the siege.

Among the quarter-finals, there are currently three teams that have advanced to the quarter-finals, but they cannot replicate the grand occasion when the three clubs in La Liga ranked in the semi-finals and surrounded the Big Ears Cup.

Because, there will be a civil war between the next three teams in the Premier League!
According to the lottery selection, Arsenal's opponent after qualifying will be the winner between Inter Milan and Kip Dynamo.After Manchester United and Liverpool win, the opponent is the other side.

Two teams with red jerseys, two teams that have monopolized and dominated the Premier League for a period of time, will meet again in the Champions League this time!

This is a good thing for Arsenal.

If the two teams want to go further in the Champions League, they must not be able to stay strong.

In this way, they will definitely slow down in the Premier League, leaving Arsenal with a chance to catch up.

It's easy for Liverpool to say, but Manchester United is still four points ahead of Arsenal, and these four points must be won!
Arsenal's opponent is Inter Milan.

Now in Serie A, only AC Milan can catch up with Juventus.The rest of the teams were left far behind by them, even Inter Milan, which is also the top three in the north.

Serie A has once again become the plaything of many strong teams in the north, and they firmly occupy the position at the front of the standings.Because the north of Italy is more industrial, and the south is more agricultural.

With the overall economic environment in Italy declining, only the northern teams can survive.

Even the capital Rome, which happens to be in the middle, they can't do it.Lazio fell from its peak early because of the bankruptcy case.

Now that the court has closed the case, Lazio was lucky to stay in Serie A, and the huge debt was allowed to be repaid over a period of nearly 30 years.

It's just that Lazio is destined not to receive huge investment in these years.

It can be said that Lazio has taken the initiative to announce that it will withdraw from the championship team in the foreseeable years.

The rivals in the same city who fell in love and killed each other, Rome will soon be unable to hold on.Most of the big names in the team have been sold to the rest of the strong teams. The goal of Roma every year is to strive to qualify for the Champions League.

Not to mention the rest of the teams.

However, as one of the top three in the north, with the most fans in Milan, Inter Milan's recent record is not satisfactory.

It can be said to be insane.

Today's Inter Milan can proudly say: "When I lose, I am even afraid of myself".

Eleven games in a row!
This directly dragged Inter Milan from the original championship team to the mid-range. If this continues, it is hard to say whether they will be able to participate in the Europa League next season.

The current gloomy situation in Inter Milan can be said to be inseparable from the violent turmoil in the club.

After the end of last season, Cooper's coaching ability was questioned, and then the head coach who led Valencia to glory was fired.

After that, Inter Milan's top management started a fierce battle again.Moratti has faint signs of losing control of the team. He has resigned from the club's chairmanship, and a new chairman has not yet been elected.

During this period of time, Inter Milan has replaced another head coach after Kupa.

Zaccheroni was finally dismissed because he has not been trusted. Now Zaccheroni is replaced by Verdelli, who was originally Cooper's assistant coach at Inter Milan.

Verdelli's coaching ability is not as good as that of Zaccheroni. His only credit for coaching so many games is to make Moratti regret dismissing Zaccheroni.

Let him be more cautious when choosing the next head coach.

It's not just a high-level issue, there are also rumors that players want to leave Inter Milan in the media.

Inter Milan's main goalkeeper Toldo, who has performed poorly in recent games, is rumored to want to leave.Before Buffon, he was the most famous local goalkeeper in Italy. He had guarded the goal for Inter Milan for many years and worked hard.

However, judging from the current performance, Toldo's state has indeed declined rapidly.There are rumors that Moratti intends to exchange Toldo plus cash with Arsenal for their main goalkeeper Petr Cech.

During the interview, Shao Bo said to the media that this was a conspiracy that Inter Milan intended to instigate, and they wanted to disturb Arsenal's morale.

There has never been such a transaction request!

In fact, Shao Bo did receive a fax from Inter Milan, and it was indeed Moratti's quotation that Cech was interested in.

But Shao Bo didn't hesitate, and directly threw it into the wastebasket.

There are not many goalkeepers who can be compared with Cech now, because they will be sold for 2000 or [-] million pounds?
Shao Bo is not that stupid.

Besides, Toldo is also old now, and his career has not been two years.But because of years of experience, Toldo's salary is not low, Shao Bo does not want to raise an idler after exchanging with Inter Milan.

Not to mention Cech's current level is very high, his salary is also much lower than Toldo's!
If it weren't for the limited conditions, the current Shao Bo really wants to snatch Van der Sar, who is currently playing for Fulham.

But using Van der Sar as a substitute goalkeeper is too extravagant, even Shao Bo can't imagine it.

And if he and Cech are replaced, he still makes occasional low-level mistakes, I am afraid he really can't compare with Cech, a young junior.

It's just that Shao Bo wouldn't recommend Van der Sar to Inter Milan. Would they still give Shao Bo a scouting bonus?
And they have a lot of problems now, even if the goalkeeper problem is solved, today's Inter Milan is not Arsenal's opponent.
