Chapter 107 Top 8
Florence and Rome, which were not favored by people before the game, eliminated the La Liga two players through two rounds of competition, which was unexpected by everyone. Some Italian fans began to look forward to the grand occasion of four Italian teams gathering in the quarterfinals of the Champions League, but on the second match day, Milan's two heroes made all Italy The fans tasted what a cold water pouring head.
The away 0:0 draw with Arsenal, and AC Milan returned to San Siro at home seemed confident, but at the end of the game, the blood-red 0:2 on the scoreboard looked so dazzling. AC Milan at home finally lost to Arsenal. In this game, AC Milan players The old man has still become a drag on the team. The age of each grandfather directly leads to the decline of the running ability of AC Milan players, which is in sharp contrast to the young Arsenal.
The most active one to run in AC Milan is the butcher Gatuso, but the functions of running are all placed on one person, which will obviously drag down this person. You know, Gattuso also fought all the way through the fatigue battle. When the game lasted 75 minutes, people saw the "unlucky" Gattuso inserted. The waist gasped, and in 83 minutes, when Fabregas got rid of the acceleration before the goal, Gattuso couldn't keep up even if he wanted to foul. The gap in running ability was the biggest gap between AC Milan and Arsenal.
Poor running ability also affected the attack. Kaka publicly complained in an interview after the game: "The attack alone is not enough for me, Girardino and Inzaghi."
In the game, Kaka and Gilardino had a unique and successful attack, but due to the lack of response points, they had to choose to shoot by themselves and failed to form a better opportunity. The team's running ability is weak, and two full-backs and three defensive midfields can't beat in the attack, which is also the reason why AC Milan lacks a connection point in attack and is not efficient.
When it comes to AC Milan's blood exchange, people will more mention strikers and defenders. AC Milan does have some problems with the front line this season, which has dragged the team's back. On the defender line, Maldini is about to retire and many player contracts will expire. It is true that fresh blood should be added, but if you think AC Milan's midfielder The age structure is relatively reasonable, and it is a big mistake to have top players like Kaka and Pirlo without supplementing.
Although AC Milan's midfield combination has not changed for 6 years since Ancelotti came to the lead, modern football tactics and times have advanced. From AC Milan's predicament, it can be seen that a Cambiaso-style all-round player who can insert the opponent's penalty area and defend can return to the arc of his own penalty area, for AC Milan How necessary, AC Milan needs the support of midfielders in the back of the attack, and this kind of support is without affecting the defense.
Pirlo's defensive ability has improved significantly compared with when he first arrived at Milan five years ago. Now, compared with a defensive player like Gatso, he needs more offensive and defensive all-round players, which is also good for the team's ball control. In fact, Ancelotti has mentioned "need" in the past two years. A player who combines Pirlo and Gattuso, AC Milan got Emerson last summer, but his age and state are not completely satisfactory.
Including the goalkeeper, if the four lines need to be introduced, it will be a big change that has not been held for many years. How to reasonably arrange funds, including making full use of Bosman's rules to introduce free players, will be the key to the success or failure of the change.
This time in San Siro, the miracle did not happen again, and Kaka did not become the savior of Milan again. AC Milan lost. They died in San Siro. AC Milan, who broke into the top 8 of the European Champions League five times in a row and reached the top 4 of the European Champions League four times in a row, is known as the grave of a European giant. The tomb San Siro Stadium fell magnificently.
Looking at Milan's "final resistance" against Arsenal, there is really nothing to defend. Milan is indeed old. Family management has indeed brought glory to Milan, but things always have two sides. The reason why sports is "body" is compared with the body. The main contradiction is the body. Without the body, even if Pirlo's pass is accurate to nanometer, it is useless to catch the ball by an old man.
Football focuses on the whole. Why?
With the largest number of participants, the largest venue and the longest time in a game.
Kaka is indeed fast, and there is no substitute. Not to mention the "five crowns" that Berlusconi shouted loudly before the season, it is difficult to get "one crown".
Pirlo's mind and foot are good, but he is not a machine chip. What do you let him do? He will help you calculate the most efficient way in the most accurate way.
Karachi reacts quickly, but he is not software. After designing the program, he will follow it. There will always be times when he is in a low state, although losing is not entirely Karachi's responsibility.
Milan's playing style is really good and powerful, and Milan does combine football and art. But in the final analysis, football still has to fight for the body. Otherwise, it's better to play live.
Score 0:2!
As long as Milan fans see such a scene, they can't help but be sad. Milan, which has supported nearly ten years, will be eliminated.
Milan is really old. It's really time to rest. In the face of the young gunner's door, he seems to be unable to do it. Kaka's game today is obviously not in a state. What can he do if he comes back after his injury? Girardino is obviously not good enough to take up his position. Although Maldini has the ambition to ambush the doth, the years are unforgiving years, coupled with the high-frequency and dense ratio In the game, the players are overworked and generally older. It is lucky for Milan to reach the last 16. Although this is what Milan fans don't want to mention and face, this is indeed a fact that cannot be changed. The reality is so cruel.
Young Fabregas bid farewell to the horse team 18 years older than him, and no Milan fan wants to see the end of the legend, although this is the law of any competitive sports.
Arsenal's 90-minute performance was worthy of the final result. After Sedorf's absence, AC Milan had no ability to compete with the opponent's midfield. After Kaka's last ten minutes of the ball, the failure was written on Milanese's face.
There is nothing to summarize in the game, just eight words, not as good as others, and lost thoroughly.
It can wake up the management and fans who are still immersed in the dream of winning the Champions League last season. Milan is no longer a first-class team. Although he can still release great ability on some occasions, he is too old. Although the fans can still proudly say that "the cold arrow in pippo's hands still radiates cold Light, the cracked shield on the arm of the horse team is still shining with the brilliance of the knight. There is no pain and no reconstruction. It may be easier to push it all over again!
Anyway, although Milan lost, Kaka has tried his best, Inzaghi has done well enough, and Maldini can't fight any more. All the players have performed well, but it's a pity that the opponent has performed better than Milan.
But even with this result, people should still thank the horse team for his excellent 20 years. At least in the last few minutes, he was still smiling calmly and running fast.
Maldini is really fighting in this game, but a strong heart can't beat the old body. His body is sinking, his feet are out of control, and his old lungs are struggling to find deadly oxygen. Everything is suffocating and everything is still. San Siro could only hear the breathing of the Gatusos, and then a breeze. Young Fabregas stopped the ball, got rid of it, and shot with brisk steps.
I thought this would be the red devil version of the dog tail of San Siro on a cold and rainy night last year, but I didn't know that a year was enough to soften a bunch of old bones in Milan. The same Milan gradually became its own piracy in the aging of the lungs. Blurred, tape, and even swaying, like an endless medical record.
Gattuso, 30 years old, Inzaghi, 34 years old, Karachi, 35 years old, Maldini 39 years old. He was old enough to see the fishtail that climbed up the top of his eyebrows in an instant, so that the young man of Arsenal was more like a boy next door who came to worship the old hero.
A city can overlook the starry satellite city with its old history, but a team can only shake its head and sigh in the face of the yellowed directory, which only belongs to a thick wall of the Milan Museum.
Athens, this Milan blew out Liverpool's fierce fire with the last breath, and this time, they could only choose to watch the young shooter rise and fall with the last breath, and Fabregas's youth hurricane swept San Siro's old arms and legs.
It's not so much a sweep as a more accurate transmission.
This is an almost "shameless" war of attrition, which is the repetition of the 20-year-old heart against the 30-year-old body**. Therefore, people saw Inzaghi buried the bulge muscle curve of Gala and Senderos with the aura of the savior, and saw the butcher Gattuso holding a pig-killing knife and chasing from the left side line to the right side line blankly. The knife was not out of its sheath and his arm was numb.
Arsenal's victory in control, strength and Milan lacks youth**, but more importantly, the determination of Wenger and the Gunners. No choice is the best choice. Wenger found the only lineup that can be taken out in the ruins of the broken wall. The flood generally hit the Milan dam one after another. The appearance of the little tiger Walkot is Wenger's 10-meter sprint whistle, which is very fierce, and Milan's expired canned pineapple has long been unable to withstand the high temperature. The high pressure is tossed.
Martini and Gatuso are not only "overdue", but also the bad words of the Ancelotti Christmas tree. The so-called 4312 is just a disguised sale of the Christmas tree. Milan's mechanized work is like a wild "brain platinum".
Of course, this is a way to save physical strength for a team with an age structure at the master level, but once it encounters a gunner with better control and physical strength, the Ancelotti Christmas tree will become a Xiaomi and rifle in the era of nuclear war and is useless.
These veterans are now enough. They don't convey hunger everywhere like young people. In other words, the pain of the Champions League seems to be more beneficial for Milan to start a new generation.
We must pay tribute to the veterans, but when the pace can't keep up with the experience, only Leonardo can tell you that this will be the classic reproduction of the Santa Maria Church in Milan, the last Champions League for veterans.
It's time for Maldini to rest on the legacy of the Baresi era.
Before the away game against AC Milan, Wenger often mentioned a game: "We beat Inter Milan 5:1 in San Siro, which is a psychological excitement. At that time, we were in a desperate situation and had to play a big score. We did it. This time, our spirit is once again highly concentrated and full of confidence."
In November 2003, Arsenal swept Inter Milan 5:1 away, and Henry's two-yuan single shot brilliantly. As in those years, before visiting San Siro this time, celebrities and public opinion were more optimistic about AC Milan. Lippi and others have stated that Milan is different from Inter Milan, and they always seem to have changed a team in Europe.
San Siro fought again, and at the end of 94 minutes, Arsenal left with a smile with a 2:0 result. In terms of technical statistics, Milan's shot more than the Gunner, and the corner kick and other data are also dominated by the home team, but this does not actually reflect the actual situation on the field. If the opportunities created are relatively, Arsenal may really repeat the 5:1 of that year.
Fabregas' long-range shot is not an absolute opportunity, but Milan will never complain about the accident of losing after the game, because Arsenal had too many opportunities to break the deadlock.
In the 28th minute, Adebayor's shot was held out of the crossbar by Karachi and blew the horn of the gunner's counterattack.
In the 34th minute, Xiaofa shot the crossbar.
In the 47th minute, Sendros blocked the shot in front of the penalty area line and was unlucky to kick the goalkeeper's arms.
In the 51st minute, Pirlo made a mistake, Adebayor scored a ball, and Eb shot one-on-one in the middle net.
In the 74th minute, Walkot entered the gap on the right side, but chose the cross instead of the direct shot in the one-on-one situation.
In contrast, AC Milan has few opportunities, and it basically comes from the positioning ball, and they are completely passive in the sports battle.
The shooting statistics of both sides masked the truth of the opportunity comparison. AC Milan's shots were mostly rushed and had more long-range shots after tearing the defense line, while Arsenal had much more opportunities to play with the cooperation.
After the game, the title of the British news agency competition said: "The era of Milan was ended by Arsenal."
Arsenal has the overall advantage in ball control, running, physical confrontation and one-on-one struggle. Young has become their biggest magic weapon at this moment. In most cases, my speed is faster than you, my explosive power is better than yours, my physical advantage, my physical confrontation is the upper hand, and my technical performance is naturally more vivid. . Milanese were led by the nose most of the time, and it is not surprising that they were dragged down after entering the second half.
In the first game, Adebayor was unable to enter the top empty goal and "leashed" Milan at home, but Wenger seemed to be full of confidence. Through the first round of the game, he seemed to have touched the bottom of AC Milan.
"We completely dominated the game in the first round, which made us full of confidence." Wenger looked very proud.
After two 90 minutes, whether at home or away, Arsenal did completely suppress AC Milan and played 180 minutes against the former European defending champion. The Gunners showed advantages in the content and strength of the game, which actually far exceeded the total score of 2:0. "Ex appearance".
Compared with 5:1 that year, Arsenal's "shortcoming" in this game is the grasp of opportunities.
In that game in 2003, the Gunner's scene advantage was actually not big. In the first half, he was deadlocked with his opponent. In the second half, he took the lead and then counterattacked sharply. Almost every hit was hit. Henry and Pirrey's goals were all a fleeting opportunity under the counterattack. If today's shooter faced the opportunity to calm down and repeat the past year. A great victory is not impossible.
However, from the perspective of the team's overall ability, Wenger has reason to feel more happy. Compared with that year, Arsenal now has fewer giants like Henry's outstanding solo ability, but it has established a set of offensive system around Fabregas, relying on one-foot pass to build an advantage, drag down and disintegrate the opponent. If 5:1 in those years is more a manifestation of Henry and other personal abilities, today's 2:0 is an overall condescending victory, even a higher level.
In this peak competition positioned as the highest level between Serie A and the Premier League, Milan's last trace of surplus value is squeezed to an end. At the last moment of the game, Maldini fell in a personal competition with Walkot, causing Walkot's bottom line to easily push Adebayo into the empty goal and completely ring Milan's death knell, representing the momentum and status of two stars, two teams and two leagues in the world football trend.
For the losers of this gambling, although they have won enough gambling methods in the past five years, now that they are at the gambling table, there will be a day when they will lose all their chips.
The experienced and resourceful representative of the Serie A technical flow, against the representative of the rising Premier League technology flow, the oldest team of the Champions League average age against the youngest team, ended in a complete defeat.
Laocheng is only a piece of paper away from the twilight. In addition to the 20 minutes before the opening, there is still a little home momentum, because it can still run, Milan has had to give up the midfielder since the second half.
If you don't do it, you can't do it. It's not that Milan is taking the initiative to retreat and lure the enemy deep to fight back. This is completely suppressed.
The opportunity created by Arsenal to effectively control the ball is more than Milan, which was obtained under Arsenal's excessive hesitation as soon as it arrived at the front.
Wenger said before the game that Arsenal would ignore their opponents and play in their own way, and they did it.
Arsenal are one of the few teams that dare to challenge the world's main offensive and offensive and defensive principles. They are not afraid of Pirlo's long passes, Kaka's galloping long drive, Inzaghi's sprint behind the offside line, and are not afraid of the possible counterattack space of the Serie A team. They are just ready to attack and capture San Siro.
What can Ancelotti complain about?
Ronaldo is far away, and Sedorf is close in front of him. He can't use any of the two trump cards that are enough to change the game on his own.
Kaka's comeback is far short, and his state is far worse than last year's semi-finals.
Martini, who said goodbye to the European game, is already four times away. Inzaghi, Ancelotti's most trusted goal weapon, was replaced by Ancelotti himself in the end.
Gattuso, the fiercest in the past, has become the first target to be cut in An Shuai's modified formation this season. When he saw Fabregas' long-range shot, did Gattuso follow all the way without any interference?
Survive under the sword and die under the sword.
Milan has begun to give up league accumulation in the past few years. They only want to make up for the top four and lack of physical experience. Important players save energy for the Champions League and refuse to make substantial changes to the team. A single underage Pato is not enough to change anything. They refuse to supplement the substitute lineup and rely on player experience to support them bit by bit. The last remaining energy of the sunset players is now too late to hold on.
Milan lost not only one game, but also the club's operating philosophy. Maldini is going to retire. Cafo, Favali and Serginho, these players who are definitely unusable must be cleared. Milan has half a lineup of players to buy.
In contrast, it is not urgent for players such as Inzaghi, Nesta and Sedorf who will definitely support for another year or two.
The title of the Premier League nemesis, European war experience, is gone forever.
No matter how old you are, you will always become old, old and immortal, and the oil of old bones will always be squeezed out.
When the oil is exhausted, of course, it is when the lamp dries.
The old Milan finally stopped entering Moscow, and there is no regrets, because Arsenal, which competes with them, has enviable youth.
If there is really any regret to stay at the San Siro Stadium, it may not be possible to see the legendary horse team holding the cup again.
With the result of 0:0 away, Milan returned to the home court and was infinitely close to scoring after the start of the game. When Milan's rush of attack at the beginning of the game, people may think that Arsenal will repeat the mistakes of Manchester United last season, and the memories of fans have been hooked back to the last season, but there are not too many such scenes. For a long time, with a crossbar of Fabregas, Milan fans were really awakened.
Since then, San Siro has become a replica of the Emirates Stadium more than ten days ago: disorder in the midfield, defense loopholes, attacks are mostly individual combat, etc.
In fact, all this is normal. When Kaka made Flamini more and more "Gatoso", and when Pirlo connected the ball and turned around, Milan's attack had become a luxury under the opponent's attention.
For many times before, Seedorf would be born, because when the other side guarded Kaka Pirlo, the Dutchman was also free.
But this time, the injury made Sidoff only be tied to the stands. At this time, Milan was in a dilemma, and Ancelotti could choose to be as safe as the away game. But at this time, perhaps the conservative Italian was also infected by youth, and the congestion of the brain made him choose to replace Inzaghi with Gilardino instead of Emerson to strengthen the defense in the middle.
Maybe Milan, who replaced the striker, is still willing to accept the result of 0:0 in 90 minutes, because in the final stage of the game, they have to be tired of defense and unable to attack.
But Milanese's mature psychology can only think like this. They don't know that the young gunner will not let go of any opportunity. Therefore, people saw that at the end of the game, the young gunner only erupted once, and the Milan giant suddenly fell down. Fabregas did not look up to the sky and sigh this time, but replaced it with the smiling face of youth.
Youth, this is the greatest charm of the gunman. Without Ferguson's golden generation and Abu's endless rubles, the arsenal has to be down-to-earth and constantly cultivate and dig. Maybe the process of cultivation will be very painful, and maybe the cost of growth will be great, but one day, the dream will gradually approach reality.
For Milan, there is a Chinese saying that if it breaks, it will be equal. Perhaps this time, stopping in the top 16 will make the club re-examine the current situation of the team. After all, Milan is the time to change. Last season's Champions League champion was somewhat blinded, and this time, after being knocked over by youth, Milan or Permission to face the team's problems.
It is not a good phenomenon that even the horse team has to play 90 minutes again and again. Despite owning Kaka and Pato, there are also Cafu Serggio. It can't be said that they are cumbersome, but they do leave Milan behind. Without a suitable substitute, Milan can only make a choice between the league and the Champions Cup, but not every time there will be the blessing of the goddess of luck, and not every youth is a loser.
AC Milan fell on the doorstep, and Inter Milan fell on Meacha, who had just celebrated the 100th anniversary.
For Inter, which has not tasted the taste of the championship for more than 10 years, it often shows people a melancholy temperament.
When the league won last season, people thought that the era of Inter Milan had begun and the melancholy would become domineering. When the season began, the league was suppressed by Florence and the Champions League staggered. When the whistle at the end of the Meacha game sounded, people found that Inter Milan could only continue to be melancholy.
The telephone door has completed the re-emergence of Inter Milan in Serie A. This is an insurgable history. Inter Milan seized the opportunity to become the master of Serie A, changing the embarrassment of many years of ambitions, but the embarrasment has never stopped. An ambitious rich family will not let go of the opportunity to show itself in the world. The Champions League is a dance that must be conquered. Taiwan.
For Inter, which coincides with its centenary, this is not only a hope, but also a necessity.
Because other teams in Serie A are watching it, are Inter really just a foreign strong player?
Other teams in Europe are watching it. Is the leader of Serie A so vulnerable?
Blue and black fans are watching it. Is Inter really lacking in temperament?
Moratti is watching it. Can Inter only prove over and over again that he is really a football fanatic without deliberately pursuing the championship?
Now, these answers are very clear.
A layman, this is all the impression left by Inter Milan in Europe last season. In the battle with Valencia, which has already fallen in La Liga, many players are out of control and banned.
In the two rounds against Liverpool, which has only been sonorous in the Champions League in recent years, Materazzi and Brdiso are humiliating, and Inter are very sad.
Inter Milan, which was double killed, can't even find a trace of dignity in Meacha. This is the place where they just commemorated their centenary. Dignity and glory were trampled on the ground at such a moment.
Ibrasimovic was once worried about the selection of the World Footballer of the Year last season, and Inter fans are also very upset about this, but it is difficult to make a performance in the Champions League. How can he be wrapped in the shadow of the league?
Ibrahimovic and Inter can only play their defending champions in Serie A, and can only continue to be silent in Europe.
When Torres left Atletico, which had only ambition but only lost the chain, Liverpool ushered in the most powerful striker of Benitez's era. He let Materazzi eat turtles at Anfield and ended all his struggles in Meacha.
Torres, who became famous earlier, adapted to the stage of the UEFA Champions League faster than Ibrasimovic. After all, in Atletico, Torres can only play the UEFA Cup, but Ibrasimovic has long been a regular player in the Champions League.
Benitez, who was driven crazy by the bad in the league, once again defended his reputation as the "king of the cup". A Champions League can make him live for many years, which also applies to Mancini, who can only be eliminated at the fastest speed in the Champions League, but unfortunately, he can't do it. Therefore, he can only resign at the end of the season when he is overwhelmed by failure.
Inter Milan's performance in this game?
To borrow Ferguson's mantra: What the fuck is this?
After watching the 2007/2008 UEFA Champions League 1/8 final second leg of Inter Milan 0:1 Liverpool, I can fully understand Ferguson's mood.
This season is another knockout match. In the past, there were various reasons to find excuses for Inter Milan's exit, from the UEFA Champions League Milan derby, which was once forced to stop the fan riots, to the defeat of the love song stadium due to the internal friction between Adriano and Perón, until last year's group fight in Mestaria. Aldiso's straight nose has not been replaced with a big ear cup, but today's defeat can't find any excuse for a complete failure.
The reality of 0:2 away in the first round is in front of us. Although the situation is not optimistic, Inter Milan, which occupies all the time, location and people, still sees the hope of a reversal at home, but unexpectedly lost to Liverpool again.
In the first half of the game, although Inter Milan controlled the situation on the field, there were not many highlights, and the occasional opportunities were also squandered by the impatient strikers, while Liverpool organized a counterattack in an orderly manner. Although several threatening counterattacks were resolved by goalkeeper Cesar, the loopholes in the defense were also knocked by Inter Milan. The alarm bell rang.
In the second half, terrible things happened, and Anfield's scene was staged again. Except for Rivas, Inter Milan had no central defender, and the blows came one after another. Torres' goal made Meacha Stadium a sea of joy for Liverpool fans. At this moment, no one believes that Inter Milan will reverse their opponents. Entered the top eight.
25 minutes, 10 hits 11, 4 goals, is it possible?
Inter Milan had no power to counteract, and the players began to be impatient. Stankovic's flying tackle after losing the ball and Qi Wu's stamp of Gerrard got a yellow card.
Finally, the Blue and Black Corps lowered their noble head in front of the Red Army. A day ago, Arsenal fans sang GoodOldArsenal and returned to London. Today, Liverpool fans can also proudly sing Youwill Neverwalkalone. Returning to Liverpool with their heroes is a complete Premier League victory over Serie A.
After the game, Mancini announced his future plans. He will leave Inter Milan: "I will leave here at the end of the season, and I will resign as the head coach of Inter Milan. I have always had this idea and has nothing to do with losing to Liverpool in this game. Inter and I only have two and a half months left, and I hope we can work together to win the Italian League again.
At this moment, it is undoubtedly painful for Inter Milan fans. Meacha's applause is the best birthday gift for the team. However, the cake used by Inter Milan to celebrate its centenary was robbed by the Liverpool people!
Incompared loss! It's extremely desolate!!
Inter Milan really won't play such a game, or now Inter Milan won't play such a game. Inter Milan does not have the spirit of killing two poles.
When the Champions League reaches the knockout stage, you have to go up and see the red with a bayonet, and the brave will win when you meet on the narrow road. What's more, in the first round has fallen behind by 0:2, and there is no way back. It's not a bankrupt business. It's still there to calculate the lineup, calculate opportunities, calculate the referee, and look forward and backward.
At the beginning of the first half, Inter Milan did not die, but Babel knocked down Maicon and got the yellow card first.
20 minutes later, Inter Milan began to grasp the situation, but only a few opportunities, especially the continuous attack before the end of the first half without scoring, which is very regrettable.
After Burdiso was sent off in the second half, Inter Milan was forced to a dead end and had the momentum to win the game. The continuous attack during this period was also relatively good, which was once very threatening.
But one goal from the other side caused Inter Milan to need four goals to turn the table. Time is running out, and Mancini has also given up. Bailey and Jimenez's appearance is a signal: let the new players have more experience in the last moment. See you next year in the Champions Cup.
This is the truth. Everything has disappeared. When a hundred years of fireworks are still looming in the night sky of Meazza, Inter Milan's dream of this year's Champions League is shattered again.
Applause gave to the captain Sanetti, who kept sprinting to the last minute, and he brought the morale that the whole team would never give up. Applause gave Qiwo, who persisted in the fight without recovering from his shoulder injury and risked being injured again from the defender line to the front of the opponent's penalty area and won a free kick. He was very confident in both defense and attack. Applause gave Rivas, who made his debut in such an important event, and he did not give Liverpool more opportunities. Applause is given to the whole team. As long as it is a human team, there will be ups and downs. After all, four main defenders can't play, and the defenders who came out are sent off, so that the game does not become one-sided. They have done well enough.
But even so, it is difficult to hide the disappointment of Inter Milan. Three days ago, Inter Milan ushered in its 100th birthday. In this game, Mea looked at the fans of the Nerazzurri on the stage. They expected their team to repeat the 1:3 loss in the first leg of 1965, but in Meacha 3-0 reversed the history of the Red Army and presented it for his birthday.
But the reality is often different from his dream. The Nerazzurri still failed to reverse Liverpool, and the centennial celebration could not save him.
Inter Milan's centennial celebration was given such a "gift" by Liverpool. I don't know when he will return this "human favor" like his brother AC Milan two years later?
The smoke of the 1/8 final of the UEFA Champions League dissipated, and Milan, who had high expectations, fell tragically and naturally. Florence and Rome continued to move forward unexpectedly and rationally.
In other airport matches, Schalke 04 preserved the final dignity for the Bundesliga. Turkic iron horse Fenerbahce killed last season's League Cup champion Sevilla and broke through. In the remaining two games, Manchester United and Chelsea also defeated their respective opponents and entered the quarterfinals.
With eight seats, the Premier League accounts for half of the time. In the former small World Cup Serie A, at least Florence and Rome have saved their face. There is even a Schalke 04 as the signboard in the already declining Bundesliga, but the most popular Spanish league in recent years has been 1/ 8 After the finals, all of them returned home.
The strong rise of the Premier League seems inevitable. It occupies half of the seats in the top eight, and the glory once had only by Italy has now been transferred to the Premier League.
When the smoke of the 1/8 final dissipated, the next round of the match table was created, and Florence's next opponent was Chelsea from the Ruble from the Premier League.
Rome met last season's bitter owner Manchester United, Fenerbahce collided with Benitez' Liverpool, and Arsenal collided fiercely with Halk 04.
It's England's fans' turn to be excited, because they are likely to see the civil war of four English teams for the first time in the semifinals, as long as they can eliminate their opponents.
Manchester United has an advantage in the face of Rome, and when they reach the top eight, Rome's energy is basically exhausted. If they want to move on, Lafayette will not agree.
Liver's game against Fenerbahce. If nothing unexpected happens, Benitez's team will advance smoothly. Although the Turkish team's hell home is troublesome, Liverpool has a big heart since the day the team was born.
In the collision between Arsenal and Schalke 04, Professor Wenger will definitely not allow unexpected selection in such a competition. Schalke 04's elimination of Porto was an accident, and now their good luck is almost exhausted.
The end is the match between Chelsea and Fiorentina. The two teams have never met before, but people are obviously more optimistic about Abramovich's ruble Army before the game. Although Florence eliminated Barcelona, it compares the strength of Chelsea and Florence, it seems that no matter which side Chelsea has an absolute advantage.
Now that the quarter-finals have not yet started, the British media have made a high-profile call to turn this season's Champions League semi-final into an English civil war.
Digan just sneered in the interview and said, "I don't feel angry. It's humane to let the other party keep a trace of fantasy before despair!"
