Midfielder

When winning becomes a habit, the team's self-confidence will be extremely high, which is the case with Chelsea now. However, these guys have an unusually calm head coach around them. He will not let these beasts feel proud. They are not the owners of the Champions League yet.

But this kind of continuous victory over opponents does have many advantages. At least now Chelsea fans will no longer worry about the team making mistakes due to nervousness. Their nerves have long been forged to be very strong, and no one can disrupt their tactical arrangements.

However, Chelsea's game at the Allianz Arena did not attract much attention, including the number of fans from England, which was much less than when they went to Camp Nou. Maybe in the eyes of those people, Chelsea's unscathed away from the away game was just a matter of course.

Including those English media, they summarized the process of the game in a simple sentence after the game, "Chelsea relied on two goals in the first and second half to eliminate Bayern Munich and enter the Champions League semi-finals for the second consecutive year." In addition, many media did not describe the game in more detail.

"We seem to be almost forgotten by those reporters. God, what kind of crazy world is this? Is our entry into the semi-finals so insignificant to many people?" Brito complained to Mourinho after the game.

In fact, this guy just cares about why he finally became the temporary coach for two games, but at the moment when Chelsea advanced, he tragically found himself being ignored by those reporters. This guy's psychology is quite unbalanced now. After all, he is also a winner.

But there is no way, because those reporters will only focus on those explosive news to report. After all, readers' preferences can determine everything. Compared with Chelsea's habitual victory, those readers may prefer those explosive news, such as the second round of Milan's two giants.

No one can predict the outcome before a football game starts, not even God. This unpredictability is one of the charms of football, but Milan's two giants have brought this unpredictability to an extreme. It is estimated that no one at the scene would have thought that it would be such a situation.

It is estimated that many reporters at the scene will not forget this day, because they witnessed a standard farce at the Giuseppe Meazza Stadium. I really don’t know if Meazza, who has been dead for more than 20 years, will feel a little helpless for this farce.

Like the situation of Bayern Munich, at the same time as the second round of Chelsea and Bayern started, Inter Milan also hoped to complete the reversal of the city’s rivals at home, but the task of scoring three goals to eliminate the opponent is indeed very difficult.

And many people exclaimed that this guy was crazy after seeing Mancini’s starting lineup, because he actually hid Martins in a game that urgently needed forward offensive power. You know, in the last game, only Martins could cause some trouble to AC Milan’s defense.

Even compared with Adriano, this guy is not inferior, especially in terms of impact, Martins can be said to have played to the fullest, but such a sharp knife was pressed on the team bench by Mancini, which made many people unable to understand.

"I think Inter Milan will make some changes in this game." This is Ancelotti's estimate of the game, but even he did not expect Mancini to make such adjustments at home. Van der Meyde and Kili became the starters, while Cruz and Martins were hidden.

And Adriano had just returned from injury. Many media have said that the Brazilian striker's physical strength and competitive state are not enough to support the whole game. Instead of letting him start and compete with the opponent, it is better to let him play in the second half.

But Mancini does not seem to follow the route planned by others. He completely abandoned the 4-4-2 formation he used in the first round. When he let Veron move forward, he resolutely changed the formation to 4-2-3-1 at home, leaving only Adriano as a single striker.

Maybe AC ​​Milan's control of the midfield in the last game really made Mancini too deeply influenced, so this guy would rather withdraw a striker and strengthen the control of the midfield, and Veron is undoubtedly a killer he ambushed behind Adriano.

But Mancini seemed to have overlooked Veron's age. That guy is no longer the omnipotent wizard. Since he returned to Serie A from the Premier League, his offensive organization ability and shooting accuracy have been gradually declining.

This season, he has only scored two penalties in Inter Milan. It is a gamble to let him ambush behind Adriano, and the cost of this gamble is very high. In order to create scoring opportunities for him, even Martins and Cruz have to return to the bench.

Mancini also soon realized how wrong his gamble was in the game. Although his change of formation was a bit beyond Ancelotti's expectations, AC Milan was indeed a little uncomfortable in the opening stage, especially Kili and Zanetti strengthened the breakthrough on both sides.

Just one minute into the game, Veron's free kick almost allowed Cordoba to successfully shoot from the front point. In the following minutes, the attack formed from the side did put some pressure on AC Milan's defense, but the guys of the Rossoneri were too experienced.

After a brief panic, they quickly came to their senses. AC Milan's offensive efficiency also began to cause trouble for Inter Milan's back. Mancini was looking forward to controlling the midfield, but with Pirlo and Ambrosini running in and out, such simple interception and confrontation did not work at all. Even if Inter Milan had two defensive midfielders, it would be difficult to suppress AC Milan's layered penetration attack.

"If that is our opponent in the final, I can only say that even our current defense will be very difficult. The tactical dispatch and personnel arrangement of those guys are simply specially prepared for the cup competition. Their offensive success rate may be even more terrible than ours."

When Mourinho was watching the replay of this game, he stared at AC Milan's offense. It can be said that this combination of long and short and completely integrating personal skills into the team's tactical system is really a headache. The most fatal thing is not AC Milan's offense, but the execution ability of each of them, which is also perfectly combined with the team's tactics, and there are not many loopholes at all.

Mourinho rarely gives such high evaluation to his opponents, but now it seems that Chelsea and AC Milan are both strong in defense, but Ancelotti's team has been running-in for several seasons, and the tacit understanding between their players makes Mourinho very melancholy.

If they really have to face AC Milan in the final, even Mourinho, who is always confident, doesn't know how much chance they have of winning, but that is a problem to be considered in the future. After all, they have not yet made it through the semi-finals, and now they don't even know who their opponent is.

Mourinho doesn't need to think too much about the problem, but Manic must think of a countermeasure at the time, and the most fatal thing is the stalemate between the two teams. Ancelotti doesn't seem to want to speed up the game at all. In the first fifteen minutes, the two teams committed as many as fourteen fouls. Too many interruptions made the game fragmented, which is not good news for Inter Milan, who is eager to equalize the score.

The more patient AC Milan is, the more frustrating Pirlo and others' reading ability will be. This time is no exception. After the two sides were deadlocked for 30 minutes, it was Pirlo who shook off Cambiasso's defense on the wing and sent Shevchenko a precise ground pass.

The Ukrainian once again showed his derby killer qualities. Twenty meters away from the goal, he suddenly kicked and shot. The football drew a perfect arc in the air. Toldo did not let himself become the savior of the team. The shot passed his fingertips and fell into the net.

Such a goal made AC Milan fans crazy. They even raised the signs they had prepared long ago, which read "GAME OVER!" in very large fonts. They also shouted loudly to the fans of their city's mortal enemies, goodbye, damn Inter Milan!

Perhaps they were irritated by such roars, or perhaps because Inter Milan's header in the 75th minute of the second half was cancelled by referee Merck, so when the team was getting further and further away from the semi-finals, Inter Milan's fans almost collectively exploded.

Inter Milan's fans began to throw debris from the stands behind AC Milan's goal, and mineral water bottles rained down into AC Milan's penalty area. And this was not the worst thing. When Dida bent down to throw these mineral water bottles, a long cylindrical firework suddenly flew down from the sky and hit Dida's shoulder heavily. Such a sudden attack made the Brazilian fall directly on the grass, and his expression was also extremely painful.

You can't say that this is the Brazilian's acting talent exaggerating the facts, because this guy was indeed replaced by Abbiati because of this attack. If it was an accident, then in the next few minutes, such fireworks began to be thrown down from the stands in large quantities.

The entire Meazza Stadium began to be filled with a strong smell of gunpowder. In the end, the referee Merk had to announce that the game was stopped immediately. It should have been a fierce game, but under the threat of fireworks, it only lasted 75 minutes and had to accept the fate of being cut short.

A violent accident, a shameful incident for Inter Milan, whose future fate is still unknown. No matter what kind of punishment Inter Milan will accept from UEFA, this season's Champions League is over for them anyway.

Perhaps this farce will eventually be written into the history of the Champions League. A duel of only 75 minutes will nail Inter Milan to the pillar of shame again.

A giant has fallen, but the latecomer has replaced it, and Chelsea is still moving forward silently. . .

(Kobe's 36 points today were in vain, and Gasol was not strong at the last moment. This is really melancholy...)
