Midfielder

Arsenal's away victory over Real Madrid was not the only fierce battle after the first day of the knockout stage. Bayern Munich, who was also defending at home, failed to get the desired three points at home.

The ferocious German tanks were defeated by the concrete walls of the Italians this time, although Bayern Munich successfully knocked on the gates of AC Milan in just fifteen minutes at the Allianz Arena.

But they did not maintain such a leading advantage in the second half. The excessive retreat after the lead made them lose control of the midfield, and AC Milan took advantage of this gap to successfully equalize the score on the field.

Shevchenko's penalty kick was not very beautiful, but it was enough to ensure that AC Milan took away an away goal from Munich, which also forced Bayern to risk their lives to attack crazily at the San Siro Stadium.

At the same time, Bayern Munich's record of 15 wins in new home games this season was also ended by AC Milan.

If you fail to win the opponent at home, it is often the most difficult to play away. After all, Bayern will face AC Milan. The performance of those guys in the Champions League has always been a headache, and it is definitely not easy to play away.

However, Mourinho is not concerned about these things. He is more concerned about AC Milan's current striker combination. After getting Gilardino from Parma, the Rossoneri's striker is more sharp.

With Gilardino's cover, Shevchenko can move freely, which gives him a wider range of activities in the frontcourt. The penalty kick was caused by this guy's sudden forward breakthrough.

At that time, both of Bayern Munich's central defenders were dragged to the edge of the penalty area by Gilardino.

This guy who just transferred from Parma is obviously a very dangerous striker.

It is not too dangerous to cover Shevchenko alone, but this guy's two headers and one front-point sweep in the penalty area show that he has a keen sense of smell and is strong enough.

He may not be able to reach the offensive efficiency of Shevchenko and Inzaghi for the time being, but with his joining, AC Milan will have more options on the forward line, not to mention that there is Kaka behind them.

Maybe it was because of the loss of the Champions League final last season that made this Brazilian guy a little depressed. At the beginning of this season, Kaka's performance was amazingly crazy, especially after veterans such as Rui Costa left the team. He almost immediately took over and stabilized the main position of the midfield organizer. Moreover, the cooperation between him and Seedorf and others began to become more fluent. His offensive ability has even reached a new level. Halfway through the Serie A, Kaka has scored nine goals, which is very fierce.

Seeing Kaka's state, Lampard and the group of animals around him consciously stared at Lin Yi, "Look, this is another sin you made. Now those guys are crazy."

"Uh, can you not put all the responsibility on me? You also called people!" Lin Yi found a very sad thing. Anyone who played against him would blame him if he went crazy.

What the hell! What does their madness have to do with me! I didn't make these guys insane!

But one thing cannot be denied. Under Lin Yi's stimulation, many people were holding their breath in their hearts.

It's not shameful to lose, everyone has lost, but being ravaged by one person all the time, I guess no one can stand it!

I can only say that the failures that Lin Yi made these guys suffer were too unforgettable, so they all went crazy.

"If we meet AC Milan next time, pay attention to Gilardino's activity area in the penalty area, and try to cut off his connection with others, otherwise, the opponent's attack will be more three-dimensional."

Mourinho asked Brito to write down these things while watching the game, but his old partner is really speechless now. He hasn't even passed the Barcelona team, and he has already thought about his future opponents. God, if we have to meet AC Milan, we must at least make it to the semi-finals!

Moreover, even if we can make it all the way, you have to ensure that AC Milan can also pass it smoothly!

You really think this is your own vegetable garden, and you can arrange it however you want! Just like whether we can pass Barcelona, ​​those Italians may not be able to defend their home court!

However, Mourinho responded to his old partner's helpless statement with one sentence, "I am very confident that I can beat Barcelona. As for whether the Italians can successfully advance, that is their own problem. I just have to prepare everything now. If I meet them, I will beat them."

Mourinho is used to preparing for a rainy day, and he is not talking big. He is now confident about all the tactical arrangements for Barcelona. At least he is ready to give the Catalans a head start at the Camp Nou and let them know what fear is.

The first four matches of the round of 16 knockouts were also uneventful. In addition to these two strong dialogues, Benfica won a 1-0 victory at home, leaving Everton empty-handed.

However, Moyes also said before leaving Portugal that they could maintain a small loss of 0-1 to their opponents in the absence of three main players, which was not a shame, but just bad luck.

"0-1 is not the end of the world, we still have a chance to come back at home." After a season of lineup training, Moyes is now very confident that he can beat his opponent at home. Even though they lost away, the Premier League teams that return to their home games are all very ferocious.

Luck accounted for most of the goal that Benfica scored. If it weren't for the damn refraction, the football would definitely not have rolled into the goal. However, Everton, who lacked Cahill and others, was indeed at a disadvantage offensively.

But returning home will usher in the return of his main players, and Moyes is confident of completing a comeback at home.

In the first four games, perhaps only Benfica defeated the opponent at home. The other home teams either drew or lost. Real Madrid failed, Bayern tied, and PSV failed to escape the curse.

They were also knocked to the ground by Lyon at home. Juninho's free kick from 30 meters away went straight into PSV's goal with a strange drop, giving them no chance to save it.

Losing 0-1 was the Dutch's luck. Although they sold their main players for two consecutive years, Lyon can still pat their chests and say that they are a strong team in front of Eindhoven.

Except for Juninho's free kick, the goal post of Philips Stadium saved PSV twice in the whole game. If God hadn't helped them, the result of the game would have been at least 3-0.

After watching these four games, Mourinho said half-jokingly during the last practice before the match between Chelsea and Barcelona, ​​"It seems that playing at home first is not a good thing."

"Three of the previous games were lost at home. It seems that we can continue this practice and let Barcelona experience the pressure of home at home."

Mourinho's weird smile really looks a bit penetrating. Whenever this guy smiles like this, someone will definitely suffer. When he is ready to plot someone, the guy who is plotted will definitely end up miserable.

Although Lin Yi didn't know what his teacher planned to do, but looking at the erotic smile on his face, he knew that there must be nothing good going on, and he might be holding back some bad things.

Is Mourinho a bad person? Barcelona fans absolutely agree with this. To them, this guy who went out to Barcelona is an ungrateful counterattack.

It wasn't enough to eliminate them last season, but they also poured dirty water on Barcelona for colluding with referees. Although there is no substantial evidence to prove this, the war of words alone is enough to humiliate them. , and also caused the referee Fricks to be kicked off the stage by Mourinho.

Rijkaard was also framed by this guy for colluding with referees and causing trouble for Chelsea behind his back. Because of this controversy, many teams believed that Barcelona was being taken care of by UEFA.

Although these are all things that have no trace, it can't stand up to people's words. If everyone says it, it will become true.

Just for one thing, the little affection Mourinho had in Barcelona has long since disappeared.

Not only was there no so-called friendship, this guy was immediately blacklisted by Barcelona.

This is a rebel, and that guy has always been a little dismissive of Barcelona's title of the best offensive ability in European football. According to this guy, only winning the game can be considered the first.

As for how many goals were scored and how many points were scored, it was basically a meaningless numbers game.

Barcelona had the sharpest offense in Europe last season, so what? Isn’t he still destined to be eliminated? Is there a difference? No matter how good your offense is, won't you still fall at the feet of Chelsea?

Whenever someone tells Mourinho that he won the championship by relying on defense, this guy is a bit dismissive. No one cares about the means used. What Mourinho cares about is who is the final winner.

What probably upset Barcelona fans the most was that Chelsea not only eliminated Barcelona, ​​but also advanced all the way to the final and had a peak showdown with AC Milan, which they also won.

Watching your opponent win the Champions League is probably the most depressing thing.

And when Mourinho was interviewed, looking back on the Champions League this season, this guy did not rank the confrontation with Barcelona first. AC Milan was the most difficult opponent he considered.

This is naked contempt and contempt. No matter how well-mannered Barcelona is, they can't hold back at this time. These guys really wanted to go directly to the real person to PK Mourinho.

Although Ronaldinho defeated Lin Yi in the end-of-year selection and ascended to the throne of World Footballer, Chelsea fans were left with another war of words. What shady stories and behind-the-scenes operations can earn deductions anyway? The gossip on the head, this is really left to Barcelona.

Many media outlets in Catalonia and Spain have also fought back, but compared with scoundrels like The Sun who specialize in spreading black water, they really don’t have the upper hand. You really can’t compare to scolding people.

And don’t underestimate the ability of these guys to fabricate news. They can make it look like there’s nothing wrong with it, not to mention you have photos to prove it. Do you still expect these guys not to use the topic to their advantage?

Anyway, during that week, the naughty thing about UEFA and Barcelona was gossiped about by the English people, and the whole story became more and more bizarre.

In any case, although the fact of colluding with the referee will not be recognized by either party in the end, it does not prevent it from spreading among fans. Now whenever there is a controversial penalty, Barcelona will definitely be the one who suffers greatly because some of the goals were lost. Team, always say something insinuating.

Old hatred plus new grudges, the two teams that don't like each other in the first place, when they meet again, sparks will definitely fly. Even the broadcasters of the event have spent a lot of money this time, just waiting to see a good show.

What Bremen vs. Juventus, what Ajax vs. Inter Milan, can this be as good as this one?

Who is this? Chelsea vs. Barcelona! This is a pure collision of Mars and the Earth. Just based on the gunpowder smell before the game, the atmosphere and confrontation of this game will definitely be the same, and there may even be conflicts.

I can only say that these media people have a keen sense of smell, and the two teams did not disappoint their expectations. Just the warm-up before the game of the two teams has made the stands around uneasy.

Although there are not many Chelsea fans, there are nearly 10,000 fans, which is not a small number. And with the English tradition of loud voices and showing off muscles, do you expect them to sit quietly and watch the game in a civilized manner?

It is estimated that the Spanish police department is not so naive, otherwise they would not have sent out 1,500 police officers to escort this game, and this is only inside the stadium, not including those patrolling outside the stadium.

You should know that there was a physical conflict between English fans and Spanish fans two days before the game.

And when those conflicts broke out, people were injured. This hot atmosphere made the entire Catalonia region feel a little bit like facing a great enemy, and the police department had to be on guard.

But drunk English fans are irrational, and their barbarity can be imagined.

Although the Barcelona fans in Camp Nou have an advantage in number, they are obviously a little worse than Chelsea fans in terms of tough temperament, but the verbal battles between the two sides are still endless.

The fans are already hot enough, but these Chelsea beasts don't seem to intend to let this game go on quietly. When they were warming up, they deliberately held a model of the Champions League on the field. This is not naked show-off, but desperate stimulation of opponents. They are not afraid of big things.

This behavior seems to be tacitly approved by Mourinho, because there is no expression on this guy's face.

But if someone can stand next to him, they can hear what this guy is mumbling, "This is fucking, that kid is really good at making trouble for me, I said to provoke the other party, but it's not so stimulating!"

It is estimated that Mourinho now regrets telling Lin Yi to stimulate the other party to insanity and lose his usual calmness, because the method this kid came up with is really a bit too cruel.

Originally, the other party lost last season and was unwilling to accept it. Now, this is just exposing the other party's scars.

And it was Lin Yi himself who held it up. In the eyes of Barcelona fans, this kid is the enemy second only to Mourinho. Such a naked slap in the face has long aroused the anger of those fans.

The scolding in the stands began to rise one after another. In addition to Real Madrid, the arch-rival, Chelsea is now beginning to enjoy this kind of hateful treatment.

Even the English media at the scene could feel the resentment gathering over Camp Nou. They bet that if Chelsea lost, the cheers in the stadium would be heard even in England.

The Spanish reporters around them all had unfriendly looks in their eyes. It was probably the first time that Chelsea's reporters felt such an unfriendly atmosphere. Alas, those animals.

However, Chelsea's players didn't seem to care about this hostile atmosphere. They were still talking and laughing during the warm-up. How calm they were. In fact, the most important thing was that they were really shameless.

Anyway, they had been treated like this in the Premier League before. Now it was just another time.

Lin Yi's explanation after the warm-up also made Brito and others speechless. "There is an old saying, if you scold someone, you expose their shortcomings, and if you hit someone, you hit their face. Otherwise, how could these guys lose their calm and reason?"

Well, this action is basically waving a red underwear in front of a bull.

Barcelona was completely enraged, including Rijkaard, who rarely lost his gentlemanly manners, who didn't show basic courtesy to Mourinho, and the two head coaches didn't even shake hands.

But these are all clouds. When Mourinho put out his starting lineup, Rijkaard's face was almost changing color, because he found that his opponent was really despising him, and not just despising him alone, but simply despising all Catalans!

Lin Yi, the little guy who was destined to play as a starter in Rijkaard's mind, was not in the starting list. He was arranged on the bench by Mourinho. Isn't this a kind of contempt?

Although Mourinho announced two days before the game that Lin Yi's left ankle was injured in the league.

This game may not be played, but for those Spaniards, most of them think it is a smoke bomb released by Mourinho. As Chelsea's most threatening midfielder core, Lin Yi can't miss the game. Although he didn't train for the past two days, it will not prevent Lin Yi from appearing in the game.

And in the warm-up just now, the boy's actions didn't seem to have any problems, and he didn't touch the ball much, but judging from his behavior of provoking Barcelona fans, this guy definitely didn't have any serious injuries.

But now, Mourinho didn't let Lin Yi play, and there was no expression on his face.

It seemed that all this was calculated by him, and he didn't care about the opponent's anger.

Feeling angry? Come and attack...
