Chapter 225 UEFA Champions League Semifinal

I didn't expect to be transferred again!

And the object is always a club, Real Madrid!

Li Yu is not in the mood to deal with the rumors about the transfer now. The Champions League has entered the semi-finals, and the league is about to end. Now she only wants to play, and there is nothing else, including much less contact with Jenny recently, and her mind is full of what the game is!

In the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals, Manchester United will play against Lyon at home.

There are still two veteran wounded soldiers in Lyon, Bumson and Bodmer, and there are hidden dangers in the central defender position. The midfielder Marcon failed to recover from his injury last weekend, and it is doubtful that he will return in the middle of the week. In addition, the main striker L. Lopez appeared as a substitute in the league last weekend but was shoveled by Bordeaux defender Enrique. It is also doubtful that he will make a comeback in the middle of the week. According to preliminary information, L. Lopez still has a certain chance to wear armor. It is expected that defensive midfielder Tulalang may make a guest appearance in the backbone position. Due to the first round of away games, I believe that Lyon will carry out the anti-counter tactics to the end.

In order to better prepare for the game against Manchester United, Lyon came up with a good move: the team was supposed to play a league with Monaco on the 23rd (Saturday) between the two rounds of the semi-finals, but now the league has been postponed to May 12. Very satisfied Lyon coach Pierre thanked the Ligue 1 managers and Monaco for their support, but Manchester United was quite angry about it. Ferdinand, the core of defense, said: "This is unfair. The schedule is the schedule, which cannot be changed."

Manchester United does have reason to be angry. They have played seven games in the past three weeks, and most of their opponents are quite strong. After playing the home game with Bayern Munich, Manchester United wanted to apply to postpone the away game with Blackburn by one day, but it was rejected by the English professional league.

In the end, Manchester United had to drag their tired bodies and bring back one point away from home. Fortunately, they regained their form in the next Manchester derby. Otherwise, the Premier League champion was also likely to have an accident. These are all schedule problems. Only Manchester United in the Premier League Championship Group is still fighting for the Champions League.

Manchester United coach Ferguson stressed that this is by no means a fair play, and urged the club's sports director Peterson to contact UEFA, "UEF must be careful about such things in the future." Although Manchester United did not formally protest to UEFA, press officer Holvik made it clear that he was dissatisfied with the unilateral decision of Ligue 1.

Monaco coach La Compu said that he agreed with Lyon's application because the two semi-finals were related to the interests of French football. In the quarter-finals of this season, when Inter Milan played against CSKA Moscow, Mourinho was dissatisfied with the postponement of the Russians and Zenit St. Petersburg's league. Russians are veterans in this regard.

In the 07-08 season, Bayern and Zenit met in the semi-final of the UEFA Cup. Zenit postponed five rounds of the league. As a result, he beat Bayern 4-0 at home and finally won the championship in the final. Zenit did not play in the league at that time, and he also played a warm-up match with Alkmaar in the Dutch League. At that time, Van Gaal was the coach of Alkmaar. Zenit's five-round league was postponed until the end of the European Cup in the summer of 2008.

No matter how dissatisfied they are with Lyon's postponement of the league against Monaco on April 24, one thing is certain, that is, Manchester United has a clear physical advantage in the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals on the evening of the 21st. Lyon experienced a 2-2 away draw with Bordeaux on the 17th, and then had to drive 865 kilometers to reach Manchester on the 20th. Although the opponent is not as loud as Bayern in name, Manchester United's number one forward Li Yu stressed: "We will never despise Lyon. This is a game between teams of the same level."

Lyon's trip to Manchester was really hard, and it took about seven and a half hours on the road. Manchester United will wait for the arrival of the French team at home. Lyon is recognized as the weakest team in the top four. When people focus most of their attention on Inter against Barcelona, Ferguson also expressed a different view: "We have no reason not to join the team that can enter the Champions League semi-finals. Pay attention, this will be a two-round fierce game!"

The only dialogue between the two teams in the Champions League was in the 0708 season of the UEFA Champions League. Manchester United defeated their opponents, but the score was not very different. In fact, Lyon, the French champion, is not a newcomer in the Champions League. In the face of the overlord Manchester United, their posture is very low, while Manchester United, which has always been favored, is On the contrary, everyone thinks that Manchester United's final admission ticket has actually arrived, which is what kind of numbers will be written on it, that is, how many goals Manchester United will get.

What Ferguson needs to do now is to keep his posture as low as possible so that the players can maintain a clear mind to face the game. Anyway, this is the semi-final of the Champions League, and there is no room for careless.

Suddenly, the European football circle entered an absurd and dreamlike scene. In the sky, the ash has not yet dissipated, and many flights cannot travel. On the highway from France to Germany, eight MPVs (multi-purpose commercial vehicles) carry Lyon players to Stuttgart. Only Stuttgart in France and Germany now have the conditions to send Lyon's players to Manchester by plane. It is a strange present. Like, Lyon's opponent is more like Bayern Munich than Manchester United.

The first round of the UEFA Champions League semi-finals between Lyon and Manchester United is imminent; and Govu in the team is even more upset because he is involved in the ** media case being investigated by the French police, suspected of prostitution, and even child prostitutes. And Ribery has admitted to having sex with a prostitute, but argues that he did not know she was a minor. In addition to them, there are other French internationals involved...

The key figure in this "prostitute" is Abu: a pimp, in his 30s, of Moroccan descent, who has participated in a talent show and tried to become famous. Now he has finally made the headlines of major French media, but the reason is that his ** media career has been exposed, which has caused an earthquake in French football - at least four French internationals and one agent are involved in the "pros whoring door".

According to media reports, Ribery and Govu have been summoned by the police as witnesses, or "customers" and entered into the judicial investigation; the remaining two French internationals are Ben Alpha and Benzema.

Abu is an excellent nightlife agent. There are many important people in his phone book, including Govu, Ben Alpha, Benzema and other stars.

Abu is a Lyon fan. In his online album, there are photos of him holding his Lyon jersey. His childhood, like Benzema, grew up in the suburbs of Lyon. Abu has participated in four TV drafts and recorded a single "I like to watch girls". Later, he hosted a TV show of a second-rate star in Paris and started a part-time job of pimping, which was based on a cafe on the Avenue of the Champs-Elysees.

A few months ago, Abu began to be eavesdropped by the police. Now, more than a dozen people, including the owner and waiter of the cafe, have been arrested or summoned. Most of the prostitutes are of Moroccan descent, and at least one of them is a minor when selling **. The French media described it as follows: she has a good figure, her hair dyed golden, and an angel face. She once sold her to Ribery and three other players. The police joked, "The players assist each other." If the prostitute is a minor, the prostitute can be sentenced to up to three years in prison and fined 45,000 euros.

The direct parties, Govu and Ribery, have been silent so far, only appointing lawyers to speak.

"Gowu said that he had never met with the ** Group and had never been to that cafe. This matter deeply hurt him, affected his relatives, and damaged his honor. He will not make any comments. Gowu's lawyer said so. Ribery's lawyer admitted that Ribery was summoned by the police. Ben Alpha denied his suspicion in an interview with Team News. "I didn't do it. Cristiano Ronaldo and Beckham have also been associated with similar stories, but so far we don't know whether they have done it or not.

The French public has a heated debate about the "prospering" of the national football international. They are frank that the problem of selling ** is an inherent social phenomenon in France, especially when a large number of foreign prostitutes are resident in France, and it is also known that players like to spend the night, but this incident involves child prostitutes, and Ribery is married, which violates the traditional family values of Westerners... People hope to "go to idolize" players. "The evaluation of his achievements is limited to the sports field.

Bayern has protected Ribery with the highest level of security. On the night of April 19, the reporter squatting in front of the Bayern club finally failed to block Ribery's car. He may have slipped away in his teammate's car.

However, someone saw him go to the office of Nelinger, the general manager of Bayern Sports, and the two talked for more than 20 minutes.

This kind of funny thing often happens in the French football circle, but this is indeed a reminder to Ferguson. British journalists and friends are not without standing up at the critical moment, so all Manchester United club players are severely warned to manage themselves in the final stage. The lower body.

Li Yu was fine, but Rooney complained about it. Of course, he did not dare to express his complaints in public. When chatting with Li Yu, he said that he was like an ascetic now, which was much less fun.

This fat man is really dishonest. In the past, when Ronaldo was still alive, Rooney played fiercely. Now he is much better, but if he doesn't let him go out for a month, he has to drive him crazy. In fact, the reason is also very simple. After all the events are over, the next is the South African World Cup, and he has to participate in the training. In that What happens at that time is simply an international joke on your career, so now is the time to relieve your lusciousness in the early stage, but the Manchester United club also issued a restraining order.

"You are a person with a wife!" Li Yu's meaning is also very straightforward. She can't go out to look for it. Doesn't she still have a wife at home?

Rooney looked at Li Yu disdainfully, "Wife, my God! You are the most innocent professional player I have ever seen. If you have a wife, you won't fool around. Those gossip reporters are going home!"

Although Li Yu doesn't agree with the fat man's point of view, she has been in Europe for a long time and still knows that they don't take this kind of thing seriously. Entertainment is a kind of entertainment and relaxation!

As long as it's not like Terry who seduces his teammate's wife with moral problems, it's not a big deal at all, and his wife won't care too much.

If you are in China, you have to make a fuss. The seven aunts and eight aunts have to ask for an explanation, but the playing method of Huaxia is also different. Raising a mistress is equivalent to a lover in Europe. There are fixed people. It is also a taboo in Europe, and it will also be a problem.

But in any case, the Manchester United club's move has effectively curbed many unnecessary troubles.

Comforting Rooney, the two came to the training ground together.

Manchester United's training today is basically based on recovery. There is no high-intensity training. The key to the recent field, Ferguson has not arranged too much training volume. Although it is only such training content, many players are also sweating. The training volume of the Premier League has always been very high, compared with La Liga. The loose training method is still much higher in terms of training.

When Ronaldo C comes to Real Madrid, he not only has to practice various skills after training, but also exercises himself. This is the gap in the amount of training. In order to maintain his physical state, C Ronaldo must do this.

Rooney still had some minor injuries and did not stay to practice with Li Yu. Li Yu completed the training alone, which has become a unique scene on the Manchester United training ground. No matter what kind of weather it is, after the team's training, it will definitely see Manchester United's No. 9th training.

Everyone is sighing that Li Yu's success is not only a talent, but also enough to support his success.

Ferguson used to ask about Li Yu's training content, but now he has allowed Li Yu to toss around by himself.

In another Champions League semi-final, Inter Milan defeated the invincible Barcelona 3-1 at home! The score that many people couldn't think of before this game made Barcelona taste a lot of "firsts" in more than a year. This is the first time that Barcelona lost three goals in a game after Barcelona's 3-3 draw with Villarreal on May 10 last year. This is Barcelona lost 1-2 at home on February 21, 2007. After Pu, it was reversed in the Champions League knockout for the first time in more than three years. This is also the first time that Barcelona lost three goals in the Champions League knockout stage after losing 2-4 to Chelsea on March 8, 2005, and the maker of the Stamford Bridge tragedy was Mourinho...

Although the points are currently lower than Roma in the league, before this game, in the stands of the Meacha Stadium, Inter Milan fans still played a slogan in support of Mourinho. This creative slogan synthesized Mourinho and Harry Potter, the name is "Harry Mu", which means that Mourinho Obi is a magician, and the last one known as the "witcher" is Herrera, who led Inter Milan into the "Great International Era".

Will Mourinho become the second Herrera? Maybe we will have an answer soon. While giving Barcelona a heavy blow, Inter Milan is creating one history after another: they have reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League after three years and reached the semi-finals of the Champions League after seven years. If Nou Camp can really keep the results of this round and advance to the finals, it will be a full 38 years! Of course, to get to this point, Mourinho has achieved what Mancini, Zach, and even Cooper have not done, and you should know that Inter Milan has met Barcelona twice in the Champions League this season, met Chelsea, and has met the strongest opponents all the way!

When it comes to this game, this is indeed a passive battle that Barcelona has not encountered in recent years. It is even more difficult to consider that Inter Milan is still losing a goal and then losing a goal because of a mistake in defense (Cambiasso and Lucio gave way to each other). Throughout the game, Inter Milan's defense can be described as "suffocating". Barcelona's space in the front court is very small, and Messi is limited to the maximum extent. Ibrahimoving was even replaced shortly after the beginning of the second half. There was no shot before being replaced. After 1-3 behind, Barcelona's attack There was some progress, creating several good opportunities, but before Inter Milan scored three goals, Inter Milan completely took the initiative on the scene. Milito was mistakenly judged to be offside with a single knife, and the other close-range shot was slightly deflected. Lucio's unmarked header was also slightly deflected. In 17 minutes, Eto'o The long-range shot made Valdes get out of his hand. Milito made up for the goal and passed the goal, which was a better opportunity. Inter Milan's subsequent reversal was just a process of quantitative change to qualitative change.

It should be said that compared with the confrontation between Barcelona in the first half, the transformation of Inter Milan is huge. In fact, we should be grateful to UEFA for giving Inter Milan such a difficult schedule, which can allow them to advance step by step. It can be said that they can defeat Chelsea and advance to the top four for the ball. The team's psychological state and temperament in Europe have a fundamental impact. In this confrontation, there is only one Pandef in the personnel, but there has been an essential change in the scene. In the attack and defense, Inter Milan seems to be more confident. The players dare to take the ball, fall down, and dare to steal when the Barcelona players take the ball. Inter Milan's third goal came from a successful steal between Mota and Busquets. In the two matches in the group stage, Inter Milan's two games together created less than 1/5 of the opportunities of this game!

And the victory of this game is believed to be a greater incentive for Inter Milan's self-confidence. At present, Inter Milan has won six consecutive victories in the Champions League, as Mourinho said: "We have changed from a small club in the Champions League to a well-deserved team that can beat Barcelona and challenge the championship."

Overview of Europe, the teams that have made Barcelona so uncomfortable in recent years are Liverpool, Manchester United, Chelsea and Inter Milan, but now Liverpool is facing restructuring. Chelsea's personnel aging problem cannot be solved in a summer. Although Manchester United's team is developing healthily, the club's debt is always a problem. In addition, the consumption of domestic championship competition caused by the strong Premier League teams and Platini's exclusion of the Premier League are all unfavorable factors in their struggle for hegemony in the Champions League.

Relatively speaking, like Barcelona, Inter Milan's development trend is upward. After this season, Inter Milan will also make a number of introductions in the defender line and midfield. Lanochia's joining has become a fact. Brazilian rookie central defender Mario Fernández, Lazio's Serbian international left-back Kolarov Negotiations for Portugal's young international midfielder Veroso are already in progress. The players introduced by Inter Milan are all players with potential for development. The future of this team can only get better and better. Mourinho once claimed to be the "best psychologist". Indeed, he helped Inter Milan cross the heart of Europe. Regardless of this hurdle, whether he stays in office or leaves in the future, Inter Milan's re-emergence in Europe is inseparable from his contribution.
