The Prince of Inter Milan starts with Brother Xiaosa

Chapter 307 Three consecutive Champions League games!

The UEFA Champions League final of the 2011-2012 season is not only the last game of the season, but also the most important club event of the season.

Three days in advance, the entire Inter Milan team and their opponent Chelsea arrived at the venue of this Champions League final, Munich, Germany.

The final will also be held at the Allianz Arena, home of Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich.

Inter Milan has won the Champions League four times in history. If they can defeat Chelsea this time, the Nerazzurri will win the Champions League trophy for the fifth time!

And they will complete three consecutive Champions League feats that have never been achieved since the Champions League was restructured!

In the 1970s, Ajax and Bayern Munich achieved the great feat of winning the Champions League for three consecutive years.

Real Madrid, which has the most Champions League trophies, even staged the miracle of winning five consecutive Champions League titles in the 1950s!

But after the restructuring and expansion of the Champions League, it seems that no one has done it again.

This year, Ancelotti led the Nerazzurri to reach the Champions League final for the third consecutive year. Whether they can achieve the great feat of three consecutive Champions Leagues is highly anticipated by everyone.

Looking back at Chelsea, this is the second time in the history of the Blues that they have reached the Champions League final.

On a night in Moscow in 2008, they lost to Manchester United led by Sir Alex Ferguson in a penalty shootout and finished second.

Four years later, Chelsea reached the final again, hoping to get their hands on the Big Ear Cup for the first time.

However, judging from the paper strength and basic situation of the two teams, the outside world is generally more optimistic about Inter Milan.

After all, it is a bit too magical for a temporary worker who has only been on the job for two months to lead the team to win the Champions League.

If Inter Milan wins the championship, Ancelotti will win the third trophy of his coaching career in Germany and the fifth Champions League trophy including his playing days.

And if Chelsea really creates a miracle, then Di Matteo will become the seventh Italian coach in the history of the Champions League to lead his team to win the championship.

He will also become the first Italian coach to lead a non-Italian team to win the Champions League.

"No wonder Bayern fought so hard at that time, playing the Champions League final at their home court!

The temptation is too great. "

Setting foot at the Allianz Arena again, Leo couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

Fortunately, Inter Milan eliminated Bayern in advance, avoiding the tragic result of Bayern's original Sanya king this season.

From this perspective, Bayern should also say thank you to Inter Milan.

On May 5, the 26-2011 Champions League final, the match between defending champion Inter Milan and Premier League powerhouse Chelsea kicked off under the spotlight!

The local temperature in Munich today is around 20 degrees Celsius, which is quite suitable for a hearty game.

This year's Champions League ambassador Breitner appeared with the Big Ears Cup.

After a brief opening ceremony, this ultimate battle is finally about to begin!

Playing in the Champions League final again, Inter Milan's starting lineup has undergone earth-shaking changes from last season.

However, the lineup is almost the same as the last time they visited the Allianz Arena not long ago.

Balotelli's single arrow, Bale and Neymar flew together on both wings.

Leo is the attacking midfielder, and veterans Pirlo and De Rossi, who have returned from injury, are in the midfield.

Left back Kolarov, right back Zanetti, Bonucci and Ranocchia partnered as central defender and goalkeeper Handanovic.

Chelsea also had a 4231, with Di Matteo putting Drogba in a forward position.

Youngster Bertrand came on the stage and Kalu moved on the wings, Mata served as the core of the offense, and Mikel and Lampard sat in the midfield.

Gary Cahill and David Luiz both returned to partner as central defenders. The left and right defenders are Ashley Cole and Bosingwa respectively. The goalkeeper is still Cech.

After a side challenge, the game started, with Chelsea taking the lead in the first half.

"It's the Champions League final, but it's just a game.

Believe me, only by treating things with a normal mind can you perform better. "

Before the game started, Leo, who started in the Champions League final for the third consecutive year, began to impart experience to several teammates in the team who had never experienced such a big scene.

Well, actually they are just a few friends in the frontcourt.

Not long after the game started, De Rossi committed an intentional handball foul while defending in the backcourt. Portugal referee Proenza showed the first yellow card.

Leo just focused on reminding Neymar and the others, but he really didn't expect that De Rossi would be the first one to fall off.

After all, he is almost thirty years old, so why is he so unstable?

De Rossi also had a sad face. After playing for Roma for so many years, he never thought that one day he would start in the Champions League final.

It's not that he has no confidence in his own strength, he always believes that he is no worse than any midfielder.

Well, Leo is an exception. No one in the Inter Milan team can compare with the "monster" Leo.

It's just that while in Rome, not to mention the Champions League, even the league championship was a luxury.

So today, De Rossi is not actually nervous or flustered, but too excited!

The Italy international quickly calmed down after being booked.

Proenza, the referee of this game, has some connection with Chelsea. He has refereed Chelsea's seven European games before, and the Blues remained undefeated.

As for Inter Milan... they have won three consecutive Champions League titles soon, and they have lost several times.

Mata passed the ball from the middle, and Drogba ignored Ranocchia's personal interference in the penalty area and turned around to hit the goal!

The ball missed the far post.

Leo made a clever pass and Balotelli tried to shoot at the top of the arc, but the ball was blocked by Gary Cahill with his legs.

Then Leo's corner kick accurately found his teammate. Balotelli knocked back in the penalty area, and Neymar followed up with a powerful volley that missed the left goal post.

Bell's breakthrough on the left was quite threatening, and Di Matteo had already shouted at Bosingwa twice in a hurry from the sidelines.

But shouting was of no use. Leo passed the ball straight. After receiving the ball, Bell accelerated and changed direction and easily passed Bosingwa who was marking him.

Bell hit a low shot with his left foot on the left side of the penalty area!

Cech, who was guarding the goal, was very focused. He flew to the ground and dived sideways to block the ball from the baseline!

The Czech raised his arms and roared to cheer for himself and his teammates. It is not easy for Chelsea to go all the way to the Champions League final this season.

And this is likely to be Cech's only chance to win the Champions League trophy in his career.

So needless to say, no matter who the opponent is, he will do his best to keep the goal!

Afterwards, Leo took another corner kick. Bonucci failed to grab the header. Chelsea goalkeeper Cech had already taken the lead and hit the ball with both fists!

De Rossi's long shot from outside the penalty area did not hit the goal frame.

Neymar broke into the right side of the penalty area after a one-two with Zanetti on the right.

The Brazilian was also able to show off in the Champions League final. Neymar stepped on his bicycle and suddenly swung the ball sideways past Ashley Cole's shot.

"All the bells and whistles are of no use."

Seeing his teammates wasting an opportunity, Leo pouted and shook his head.

In the ninth minute, Leo avoided Mikel's pressing in the frontcourt and sent a diagonal ball.

Bell broke through to the gap on the left and passed diagonally into the penalty area at a 45-degree angle. Balotelli grabbed the point in the middle and dived over the crossbar!

The first half of the game has only lasted ten minutes. Generally speaking, the defending champion Inter Milan has the upper hand.

During this period, the Nerazzurri's ball possession rate reached 66%, and Chelsea could only parry.

Then Neymar and Leo tried to kick the wall at the front of the penalty area on the right side and were blocked by the Chelsea defender.

Neymar raised his hand to complain to the referee about David Luiz's handball, but Proenza ignored it.

Kolarov made a pass from the left, and Neymar's left-footed half-volley from the back was blocked by Bertrand, who was back on defense and blocked the far post!

Leo took another corner kick, and Cech took advantage of his height and long arms to pick the ball off before Balotelli could reach it!

Because of the heroic performance of Chelsea's goalkeeper, Inter Milan continued to attack but found it difficult to score.

In the 18th minute, Neymar used his personal ability to continuously break through two Blues defenders with the ball on the right and then went straight into the penalty area!

Bell leaned against Bosingwa in front of the small penalty area and missed the ball. Neymar's left-footed shot was blocked by Cech's right leg and hit the outside of the right post!

Inter Milan almost scored a goal to break the deadlock. When Neymar saw that the ball failed to score, he put his head in his hands in disbelief.

Then the Nerazzurri made a comeback. In the counterattack, Leo's sharp pass made Bell easily get rid of Bosingwa's defense again.

This time the Chelsea full-back was so angry that he was still angry. Who could bear to be treated like a wooden stake again and again?

So Bosingwa grew angry and fearful, and kicked the Welsh winger who was dribbling the ball at high speed with a shovel from behind.

Bell rolled on the turf for many times before stopping. This was not an act, but an offensive player's subconscious self-protection when encountering a vicious foul.

At least Bell managed to remove all the force and his leg was not seriously injured.

After going to the sidelines and being treated by the team doctor, the Welshman returned to the field.

But Bosingwa, who committed a flagrant foul against him, did not receive the punishment he deserved.

The referee Proenza hesitated for a while, but still collected the red card and only showed a yellow card to Bosingwa.

This made the Inter Milan players very dissatisfied.

The serving position was too far from the goal, and Leo chose to hoist the ball into the penalty area.

Neymar unloaded the ball lightly on the right side of the penalty area and knocked back. Balotelli's shot was blocked by David Luiz. Bell followed up with a left-foot volley and hit the near corner, but Cech bravely confiscated it.

Chelsea then played exquisite coordination.

Ashley Cole made a breakthrough pass from the left, and Drogba hit back with his heel in the penalty area. Lampard received the ball in the middle but he did not shoot directly but distributed it to the right side. The unmarked Kalu shot diagonally with his right foot and was saved by Inter goalkeeper Handanovic!

Zanetti made a diagonal pass from the right, and Balotelli stopped the ball in the middle of the penalty area and his overhead kick was hit by Cech!

Leo controlled the two-point kick outside the penalty area, observed the situation, and then distributed it to the left side of the penalty area. Bell's left-foot volley was blocked and turned into a pass.

But Bashen's push at the back post was not powerful and Cech threw him into his arms!

Two minutes later, Chelsea got another free kick opportunity, but Mata's free kick went directly over the crossbar.

In the 40th minute, Kolarov made a pass from the left, and Balotelli outflanked him in the middle and volleyed with his left foot and missed the left post.

Then Chelsea quickly counterattacked and hit the frontcourt. Mata scored the ball in the middle. Lampard's long shot from the front of the penalty area flew off the top of the crossbar!

Neymar cut inside and broke into the penalty area, turned around and deflected Gary Cahill's powerful shot!

Unfortunately, the ball flew directly out of the baseline.

The first half entered stoppage time, and it was Leo's direct pass. Bell dribbled the ball from the left at high speed into the left side of the penalty area!

Bosingwa knocked Bell to the ground from behind again!

Everyone looked at the referee, and Proenza shook his head and refused to give a penalty!

"Damn, that's a no-brainer! Escaped from the red dot package."

"Is this referee here with a mission? UEFA doesn't want to see us win the championship for the third consecutive year!"

"That's right, they would rather send the champion to London than let our family become the only one!"

At the end of the first half, neither side scored a goal, and it was a goalless draw.

However, Inter Milan has an absolute advantage in all statistics.

Whether it is the number of shots, number of corner kicks or ball possession rate, the defending champion is far ahead.

It seems that we are close to winning the Champions League for the third time in a row?

“Although it’s still zero-to-zero now, the situation is not good for us.

You should also feel the scale of the referee's penalty. I hope everyone will not be disturbed and stay calm as much as possible.

After the start of the second half, we must strengthen our offense and score goals as soon as possible!

Determined not to give Chelsea any chance! "

At the beginning of the second half of the game, the two sides changed sides and fought again!

Neymar cut into the penalty area from the right and was blocked by Ashley Cole. He then passed the ball back. Pirlo's powerful volley from outside the penalty area was pushed over the crossbar by David Luiz.

Then Leo's corner kick was passed to the back point, and Ranocchia's header went slightly wide of the goal.

Drogba turned around on the left and hit the goal with a heavy shot from a long distance and missed the near post.

In the 52nd minute, Lampard went straight to the right side of the penalty area and was blocked by the defensive player, and Drogba's volley from outside the penalty area was blocked by Bonucci.

One minute later, Inter Milan played an excellent passing and receiving cooperation in the frontcourt.

Leo intercepted the ball and passed it straight. Balotelli made a pass from the left side of the penalty area. Neymar's low shot with his left foot hit Ashley Cole and the line changed!

Bell tipped the ball into the empty goal!

Just as the Welshman started running to celebrate, the assistant referee raised the flag for offside.

The referee Proenza did not hesitate to call for offside and the first goal was invalid.

Leo sighed, this game is too difficult to play. He is not afraid of eleven versus eleven on the field, but now it is very troublesome when eleven versus twelve.

There is no choice but to continue to strengthen the attack.

Leo didn't believe it. This referee could blow off their goals every time.

Bell's long shot from outside the penalty area flew directly into the stands.

Chelsea seized the opportunity to launch a counterattack, Mata passed a diagonal pass, Drogba turned his back, and Lampard's long shot from the edge of the penalty area was blocked by Handanovic!

The Nerazzurri's offensive became more and more fierce, but the Blues didn't seem to be in a hurry at all.

This is indeed the case. Di Matteo was ready to drag the score into overtime or even a penalty shootout before the game.

Compared to defeating the powerful Inter Milan in a head-to-head battle, perhaps this is indeed the best way for Chelsea to win.

Of course, the premise of all this is that they have a goalkeeper like Cech. If it weren't for the Czech's high and low block in front of the goal, they would have been scored by Inter Milan.

Bell crossed the ball from the left side and cut in to the edge of the penalty area. His left-footed shot missed the left goal post slightly.

In the 68th minute, Neymar passed the defensive player on the right and broke through to the bottom line and passed back.

Zanetti assisted and also took a long shot, but Ashley Cole sacrificed himself to block it!

It was another Inter Milan corner kick. David Luiz took the lead to clear the ball with a header. Balotelli's shot from outside the arc of the penalty area was still confiscated by Cech.

In the 73rd minute, Chelsea made the first substitution, Di Matteo replaced Bertrand with Malouda.

However, this substitution did not produce any immediate effect, and the Nerazzurri still took the initiative.

Leo passed the ball into the penalty area, and Balotelli's shovel shot that fell to the ground in front of the goal rolled out of the bottom line against the left goal post.

Bell made a cross from the left, and Neymar followed up with a header that was easily saved by Cech.

Pirlo stuffed the ball with his outside instep from the left, and Balotelli's left-footed shot from the right side of the penalty area was blocked by Ashley Cole who fell to the ground.

Chelsea's soldiers are united as one, but it seems as if Inter Milan has become an evil devil.

Drogba received the pass on the edge of the penalty area, but this time he chose to hit the goal himself instead of passing it to his teammates.

"Warcraft" fired a powerful and heavy long-range shot!

Handanovic didn't dare to be careless and hit the ball hard!

Inter Milan counterattacks quickly!

Ashley Cole brought down Neymar for a tactical foul and was given a yellow card by the referee.

Then Leo's free kick went directly to the goal and bypassed the wall but was confiscated by Cech.

In the 85th minute, Leo continued to patiently organize the attack in the frontcourt.

Facing the double-teaming of Mikel and Lampard, Leo steadily controlled the ball at his feet, and suddenly broke through the defense with a "fried ball"!

After breaking through the defense, Leo quickly distributed the ball to the left!

Bell made a pass from the left side of the penalty area, and Balotelli, who followed him in the middle, jumped up high and shook his head unmarked to attack the goal!

After the ball bounced off the ground, it passed past Cech's fingertips and hit the inside of the post!

One to zero!

Inter Milan finally broke the deadlock on the field!

It's not easy!

Balotelli ran all the way to the corner flag and knelt passionately to celebrate the goal!

All the Nerazzurri fans stood up and cheered!

Chelsea made another substitution at this time, Di Matteo replaced Kalou with Torres.

Falling behind, they have no choice but to give it a try!

Ancelotti also made adjustments accordingly, and Thiago Motta came off the bench to replace the goal hero Balotelli.

This is not a conservative approach, or "one-to-zeroism" or anything like that.

The current situation is that Inter Milan is one goal ahead. If they maintain the current game until the end of the game, they will be the Champions League champions this season.

There is definitely nothing wrong with strengthening defense at this time.

In the 91st minute, Leo made a direct pass, and Bell turned around and broke through from the left side of the penalty area!

The Welshman was kicked by Drogba who returned to the penalty area and fell to the ground!

A penalty for sure! The referee Proenza could not sit idly by and took out the yellow card and warned Drogba.

Leo stood on the penalty spot and faced Czech goalkeeper Petr Cech.

As long as this goal is scored, the game will completely lose suspense.

Taking a deep breath, Leo eliminated all distracting thoughts, completely uninterrupted by the outside world, and hit the ball hard with his right foot!

Cech moved ahead and made the save!

But when he took off, he unexpectedly found that he was jumping in the wrong direction!

"How can it be!"

As I said before, Di Matteo has long been prepared to take penalty kicks, so how could Chelsea not study Inter Milan's top penalty kicker Leo.

Leo's favorite penalty kick is the top right corner of the goal.

Because of his outstanding footwork and strong mental quality, every penalty kick is fast, fast and tricky.

Even a goalkeeper of Cech's level would never have time to make a save if he didn't take off early.

So this time Leo unexpectedly hit the lower left corner with his right foot, which shocked Cech.

When the ball crossed the goal line and set off a burst of white waves, the desperate Cech fell in front of the goal.

The ball went in!

Two to zero!

Inter Milan expands its lead!

Ancelotti made another substitution, and Pirlo was shown a yellow card by the referee for delaying the game when he came off the field.

In the fourth minute of stoppage time, it should have been almost time to end the game, but Proenza was still giving time.

Mata made a cross from the right, and Drogba knocked the Inter Milan defender away with a header!

Although Handanovic tried hard to save the ball, the ball still went into the net.

Two to one!

Chelsea gets a goal back!

However, the goal came too late. Even if the Blues soldiers wanted to make persistent efforts to tie the score, it was too late.

As Leo sent a long kick to the frontcourt, the referee Proenza finally blew the whistle to end the game.

At the end of the game, Inter Milan defeated the Blues Chelsea 2-1 at the Allianz Arena and won the Champions League for the third consecutive season!
