Chapter 227 A Different Final Opponent

Li Yu is writing a great season in his own way.

Before the game against Tottenham, Rooney had some slight strains during training. In the game against Tottenham, Li Yu will start alone. Recently, the little fat man is also unlucky and will always be attacked by some injuries , Ferguson also said that the biggest problem causing these reasons is that the Premier League does not have a winter break, and the fatigue of a season will break out in March and April.

This issue is the consensus of all Premier League coaches, but the British tradition is like this. During the Christmas period, players have to offer Christmas dinners to the fans to entertain the public, but they pay the price of a potential physical crisis.

Players like Li Yu who are heavily marked every game but rarely get injured are simply too few in world football.

Ferguson should be thankful for his decision at the time. Otherwise, in the game against Tottenham, Manchester United did not have a reassuring striker, and the game would only increase the variables.

Facts have proved that Li Yu is already the undisputed king at Old Trafford. He used 2 goals to basically end the suspense of this season's championship. After the game, Old Trafford is still full of people. There was a lot of noise, and none of the more than 7 fans left. They were waiting for the result of the Chelsea game on the other side. If something happened to Chelsea, Manchester United would win the game two rounds in advance at their home stadium, Old Trafford. The final championship trophy, the great four consecutive championships was born.

The Tottenham players are not interested in celebrating the championship after the game. After the 3:1 loss to Manchester United, they also hope that there will be some good news from the match between Arsenal and Manchester City, but not on the pitch. But on the return bus.

Chelsea played against Stoke City at home this round, and the result of the game disappointed all Manchester United fans. Chelsea beat Stoke City 7-0 at home, setting back the suspense of the championship for another round. In provoking Manchester United, although you are leading in points, but in terms of goal difference, Chelsea are leading!

In the next round, Manchester United will play away against Sunderland. If Manchester United wins, they will definitely win the championship trophy this season. Then Stoke City, who is sadly in the final round, can only play at Old Trafford before the start of the game. Line up waiting for the champion Manchester United players to enter the field.

In fact, in everyone's eyes, judging from the opponents in the last two rounds, the Premier League champion this season has long lost suspense. With Sunderland and Stoke City, Manchester United can win the championship with one more point. No one will believe that there will be no more accidents.

More people began to turn their attention to the UEFA Champions League. In the second round of the semi-finals, the home game between Barcelona and Inter Milan was still in advance. This game is related to the final admission ticket. In the first round, Inter Milan 3:1 Big victory, Barcelona want to advance to the final, if the opponent has no away goals, at least they must win 2:0 at their home Camp Nou!

The battle between Barcelona and Inter Milan will be staged.Can Sneijder play?How will Inter Milan mark Messi?How will Mourinho attack Barcelona?At the pre-match press conference, Mourinho gave the answers one by one.He announced the starting lineup, and ridiculed Barcelona, ​​they are not fighting for a dream, but for the "anti-Real Madrid" (adrid) fight.

"We will fight for dreams, but Barcelona is fighting for a subtle complex, which is the difference between us." Mourinho said: "Dreams are always simpler than complexes. Anywhere in the world is a matter of pride. For Barcelona, ​​last year they fought for the Champions League final in Rome, they were fighting for a dream. But this year, fighting for the final at the Bernabeu is a complex."

What do you mean by this?Mourinho specifically said in an interview with "Aspen": "I worked as an interpreter in Barcelona in 1997. At that time, we went to the Bernabéu Stadium to participate in the King's Cup final. The opponent was Real Betis. We won. At that time, it was as if we had won the World Cup. In that stadium, we heard the praises of Barcelona, ​​and that made us feel so happy that we forgot everything. This is what I call a complex. An anti-adrid complex. If this time, it happened in the Champions League, imagine what it would be like... This is the dynamic of Barcelona, ​​as if, we It's like fighting to go to Turin for the Champions League final."

However, Mourinho dismissed such so-called feelings: "But what I want to say is that this is a football game. This is not a war. If Barcelona only thinks about football, it will be perfect. Anyway, All I focus on is football."

Will Sneijder play?Mourinho said: "Sneijder is very good, he will play. We will see if he plays the full 90 minutes according to the game. He still has a little problem, but he performed well in the training session. That reassures him. He's hungry for games. So, although we still have a series of important games in the league and the Coppa Italia final, I'm going to take a little risk."

Mourinho also announced the 10 people in the starting lineup: "I can tell you some starters, because these are not difficult to guess. Cesar, Maicon, Lucio, Samuel, Zanetti, Cambiasso, Motta, Sneijder, Eto'o, Milito... and one more? I can't tell you all."

The Catalan media attacked Mourinho at the press conference: "Don't you think you should be grateful to Barcelona for bringing you into the football circle?" Mourinho replied: "I am grateful to Bobby Robson, give me The opportunity; I am grateful to the Barcelona president at the time; I am grateful to all the people who worked at the club at the time, they helped me a lot.”

Sky Italy asked Mourinho, why did he bring Balotelli?Why are Thornton (injured) and Stankovic (suspended) who are definitely unable to play included in the big list?Mourinho smiled and said: "It's Dejan (Stankovic)'s fault! He's suspended and when I told him you can't come with the team, he started crying. So I had to take him .but I bring him, and everyone has to bring..."

How will Inter Milan mark Messi?Mourinho replied: "As always, put pressure on his area. It won't be man-to-man, I'll just rely on team organization. Of course, also need good luck."

The Spanish media recently disclosed that the referee of Inter Milan's first match against Barcelona opened a restaurant with Mourinho.In this regard, Mourinho sneered: "I have never opened a restaurant with anyone. Maybe Guardiola has a restaurant in Oslo (Note: Herning, the controversial referee when Barcelona eliminated Chelsea last year, is Norwegian. Oslo is Norwegian capital.)".

The reason why Mourinho is so careful may be that he has found a way to deal with Barcelona's core Messi.

Messi has played 43 Champions League games and scored 25 goals. For non-center players, his scoring rate is surprisingly high.Among these 25 goals, 5 scored the goal of the Premier League team, 6 scored the goal of the Bundesliga team, and 3 scored the goal of the Ligue 25 champion. The gold content is not low.But to Messi's embarrassment, none of the [-] goals scored in the Serie A team's gate!

"Gazzetta dello Sport" pointed out: "Messi may have conquered the world, but in front of the Serie A team, he still needs to prove himself."

In addition, Messi has played against teams coached by Madman 4 times in 6 years (4 times against Chelsea and 2 times against Inter Milan), but nothing has been achieved.This record also made Messi very embarrassed.In today's football, it is rare to find a coach who has played against Messi but has not scored a goal.For Barcelona, ​​which desperately needs a big victory in order to reverse, Messi has full motivation to break these two curses!

Ibrahimovic and Maxwell of the Barcelona team will stage a final battle with their old club after this war.For the former Barcelona players Eto'o and Thiago Motta in the Inter Milan team, this visit to the Nou Camp is bound to be a fierce battle with mixed flavors.

Can Eto'o and Motta kill their former owners after being abandoned by Barcelona?Can Ibrahimovic and Maxwell be amazing again against their former club?How will the Nou Camp welcome back their former idol?And the teammates who worked together in the past, this time they meet each other in a decisive battle, how do they choose between positions, feelings, warmth and violence?

The eye-catching war of the century is about to take place.

The focus of the second round of the UEFA Champions League semi-finals kicked off at the Nou Camp. The defending champion Barcelona played against Inter Milan at home. Barcelona, ​​​​who lost 1-3 in the first game, had to win by more than two goals to hope to advance.

They met in the past 9 times in the history of the European war. Barcelona has the upper hand with 4 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses. This season, the two teams have 1 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss.Barcelona captain Puyol accumulated yellow cards and suspended, Iniesta was absent due to injury, Guardiola formed a formation between 343 and 433, Milito played left back, Toure played central defender and midfielder, defending champion Barcelona Home against Inter Milan, and strive to onslaught, Inter Milan general Stankovic also accumulated a yellow card suspension, Sneijder returned from injury in time, Ibuetto Omota started against the former owner.

Barcelona launched a fierce attack throughout the game, but they were facing the Italian team and Mourinho's team.

Facing the iron barrel formation set up by the Italians, the Barcelona team is far ahead of Inter Milan in possession of the ball. Mourinho's team has never won the game by controlling the football under their feet. Facing Barcelona's possession In terms of ball tactics, Inter Milan responded calmly, and never let the Barcelona people find a good chance to score.

It was not until the final stoppage time that Barcelona defender Pique scored a face-saving goal single-handedly.

1:0!当终场的时候,大屏幕的上的比分就是1:0,国际米兰时隔38年晋级决赛。

After Inter Milan entered the Champions League final, Moratti was so excited that he almost shed tears: "I think of the memories of my youth." When he was young, Moratti rode a bicycle to the stadium and witnessed the era of the big international, so he is here today. Become a "person who loves Inter more than his money".But Moratti overlooked one point: If Inter Milan can win the last 5 games of the season, it will surpass the era of big international.Because once this happens, Inter Milan will become the only Triple Crown in Serie A history!

Of course, first of all, it is necessary to give the title of "Triple Crown" the most accurate definition.The mainstream European media call the three championships of "League Championship + Champions Cup Championship + Top Domestic Cup Championship" the Triple Crown.Some other cups, such as the domestic Super Cup, European Super Cup, Europa League, etc. are not included.Looking at the whole of Europe, there are only a few teams that can achieve this.

In the 1998-99 season, Manchester United won three championships in the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League, which are still remembered by the world.Last season, it was also Manchester United who won the Premier League, the League Cup, the FA Cup and the Champions League, and was praised all over the world.In addition, Eindhoven (1988) and Ajax (1972) in the Netherlands, and Celtic in Scotland (1967) have also achieved this honor, but after all, the domestic competition pressure of the Dutch and Scottish leagues Relatively small.

In the history of Serie A, there has never been a history in which a team has won the league, Coppa Italia, and Champions League.Even in the "big international era", Inter Milan did not do this. In the 1964-65 season, Inter Milan won the Champions League and the league, but lost to Juventus in the cup and only won the runner-up.Among other Serie A teams, the closest to this honor is AC Milan. The Rossoneri won the league and the Champions League in the 1993-94 season, but missed the final in the Coppa Italia.

For Inter Milan, it is only 5 games away from the first triple crown in Serie A history.Currently in the league, Inter Milan ranks first with only 3 rounds left, 2 points ahead of Rome.In the cup, Inter Milan has reached the final.In the final battle of the season, Inter Milan will challenge Bayern Munich in the Champions League final at the Bernabéu Stadium.Winning the last 5 battles will create an unprecedented record.

Of course, these 5 battles are not easy to fight.In the league, Inter Milan is facing the pursuit of Roma, who is in excellent condition, and cannot make mistakes in the last three rounds. On the weekend, Inter Milan will drag their tired body away to challenge the relegation Lazio. This is a hard battle.In the final of the Coppa Italia, Inter Milan will challenge Rome away, and there are many variables in this battle.

In the Champions League final, Inter Milan is likely to face the Premier League giants Manchester United. This battle will also be extremely difficult and full of variables.Moratti pointed out: "We can't be happy too early. Indeed, we will work hard to win everything, but we can't ignore that we haven't landed yet. We are like diving, although we are very close to the shore. But if you don’t swim the last part of the road well, you may lose all four things!”

For Inter Milan, to hit the Champions League that has not been won in 45 years, and hit the only Triple Crown in Serie A in a century, the team still needs to play the last 5 games well.Mourinho said it well: "Next, every game is a final!"

With the Belgian referee De Brickley's three whistles, Inter Milan returned to the Champions League final after 38 years.Hundreds of millions of Nerazzurri are therefore happy.But obviously, the happiness of one of them is exceptionally different.This person is Ned.This is not only because Sneijder is the biggest contributor to Inter Milan's entry into the Champions League final; it is also because he has an opportunity to go to the Bernabeu to prove to the world that he is not a waste, but also a hero!

Before the game, the major media revealed that Sneijder was injured and may not be able to play.Inter Milan team doctor also pointed out that Sneijder is a muscle strain.As we all know, a muscle strain is a kind of injury that is not a big problem, but it is very painful during the injury.But only 3-4 days, Sneijder returned to the team.He obviously didn't recover, but he played anyway.This makes Sneijder look extremely great this night.

Former Mourinho said: "Sneijder has a little problem, but he is eager to play. What can I do? Faced with such a player who is dedicated to fighting, I can only let him take risks." Sneijder The reason for wanting to play, the whole world can understand.Last summer, he was forced away by Real Madrid and suffered humiliation and neglect.It is difficult for outsiders to understand what happened during that time.If this kind of blow were to be replaced by a cowardly person, perhaps this life would be completely devastated.But Sneijder is a hero. He found the best way to fight back against Real Madrid and prove himself to the world.This is, go to the Bernabeu to play the Champions League final!

For this dream, Sneijder played the best performance in his life.He scored 3 goals, each of which was priceless.In the group stage, without his goal, Inter Milan would have been out in Kiev; in the knockout round, with his two goals, one helped Inter Milan win the 3-finals, and the other scored the goal of Barcelona.In addition, he has 14 assists and is the assist leader in the Champions League. "Gazzetta dello Sport" said it well: "From Sneijder, we saw the shadow of Suarez, the core of the Inter Milan era!"

Today, Sneijder didn't show much.Because, the entire Inter Milan team has been defending.However, a set of data is enough to prove Sneijder's greatness.He played 67 minutes and ran 8420 meters, averaging 126 meters per minute.This number is higher than Keita, Harvey, Butzkes, Cambiasso and other midfielders, higher than Maicon, Alves and other full-backs, and is the highest in the game!He completed two steals.Considering all this, he played with his injured leg and deserved the respect. "Digital Sports" said after the game: "He is fighting with injuries, not in the best condition. But everything he has done is enough!"

After the game, Sky Italy went to interview Sneijder for the first time.

Last summer, while Real Madrid cheered Kaka's arrival, they brutally forced Sneijder away.But now, mainstream European media have pointed out that, at least this season, Sneijder's performance is better than Kaka.isn't it?Today, Real Madrid fans are questioning Kaka's "fraudulent injury" while watching Sneijder dragging his injured leg to lead Inter Milan to the Champions League final-and this final is held at the Bernabeu!Of course, there is no disrespect to Kaka here.However, it must be pointed out that for Sneijder, this is a kind of success, a kind of greatness, a kind of legend that should be remembered for a lifetime!

Of course, the saga continues. At the Bernabeu on May 5, Sneijder will return to Real Madrid's home court. This scene will inevitably make Real Madrid fans have mixed feelings.It's time to ask that question: Now, who else has the right to call Sneijder useless?
