Chapter 558 The Battle of the UEFA Champions League

After the second round of the league, Inter Milan spent all their energy on preparing for the group stage of the Champions League. For Inter Milan, who has won the UEFA Cup and the league championship, the Champions League, which has not won in 37 years, has become their biggest goal.

Although it is only the qualifying round of the group stage of the UEFA Champions League, the 32 shortlisted teams are all the best in major leagues, each of which is easy. In the Champions League, the carelessness of any game may lead to a desperate situation.

Inter Milan's first opponent in the group stage is the Turkish giant Galatasaray, and it is not a trip for Inter Milan to play at the home of hell in Istanbul.

Some fans may not know about Ali Miyang Stadium, but they must have heard of "Hell Stadium". IN 1993, WHEN THE "RED DevilS" MAN MAN UNITED CAME HERE TO PLAY THE CHAMPION'S CUP away GAME, THE GALATARA FANS ON THE PERHANT HELL PLAYED A HUGE S slogan "WELCOMETOHELL (WELCOME TO HELL)," WHICH SHOCKED THE WORLD; THE FOLLOWING YEAR, TWO BRITISH FANS WHO FOLLOWED LEAID UNITED CAME HERE. He was stabbed to death by the "hell fans" here with a dagger. Therefore, Ali Miyang Stadium is not only the "devil's home", but also the "hell's stadium".

In addition to the horrible stadium, Luzescu, the Romanian head coach of Galatasaray, is also the target of Inter Milan. Lucescu served as the head coach of Inter Milan in 1999. After losing 0:4 to Sampdoria at home, Lucescu resigned as head coach. Lucescu against the country. Milan is very familiar with it and has a strong ability to command combat. Last season, he led Galatasaray to the quarter-finals of the Champions League, and was later eliminated by the defending champion Real Madrid, but because he reversed Real Madrid 3:2 behind 0:2 in the first round, Barcelona also considered replacing firefighting coach Ferre. It can be seen that Lucescu's coaching level can be seen.

In addition to the high coaching level and the horror of the stadium, the team's own strength is also very strong. The No. 1 goalkeeper Tafarel has been the regular goalkeeper of the Brazilian team since the 1990 World Cup.

TAFarrell had a good performance in the 1994 World Cup, especially in the final match with Italy. His amazing performance was that Brazil won the championship for the fourth time and made a first contribution. In Galatasaray, TAFarrell is also the team's last barrier. With him, his teammates can attack at ease.

No. 10 Haji is 36 years old, but his left foot still fascinates his fans. There are two nicknames, one is "Maradona of the Carpathian Mountains" and the other is "the midfield conspirators". As the saying goes, the name may be wrong, but the nickname will never be wrong. These two nicknames show the greatness of Haji. With such an experienced organizer, Inter Milan's defense will always be shrouded in terror.

In addition to Haji, midfielder Emre is also very strong. Tardelli considered introducing him last season, but this acquisition plan was rejected by Jiang Mu, but this also proves Emre's strength from the side.

On the front line, Hassansas is one of Turkey's most dangerous killers. He is a player who can really change the course of the game. He has a keen sense in front of the goal. In addition to scoring goals, Hassansas can also act as a shadow killer and deliver shells for his companions.

In the face of such a team, how dare Inter Milan be careless? It can be said that even if they go all out, they dare not say that they can take away three points at Hell Stadium.

However, Inter Milan also has its own advantages, that is, they have striker Hakansuk who once played for Galatasaray. Through Hakansuk, Jiang Mu and Inter Milan's players will definitely get Galatasaray's first-hand information, which is very helpful for pre-match preparation.

The focus of this round of the Champions League group stage is the battle between Real Madrid and Rome. The media and fans around the world have almost focused on these two teams, but the Turks are paranoid and **, and their fans and media still keep their eyes on their teams and opponents.

In this round, Galatasaray and Fenerbahce have encountered strong opponents. Galatasaray's opponent is the world's most terrible team, Inter Milan, while Fenerbahce's opponent is La Liga giant Barcelona, which is the same as a holiday for Turkish fans, especially Galatasaray and Fenerbahce. Fans, like playing chicken blood, look forward to the arrival of the game every day. They can watch the battle between their beloved team and the rich family on the spot.

The Turkish media also reports on the pre-match trends of the four teams every day. Some speeches and interviews between the generals of the two sides have not spread Jiang Mu's reputation to the Middle East, but now because they are going to play against Galatasaray, Turkish fans have become familiar with Jiang Mu.

Before the game, Lucescu said that he knew Inter Milan well and had enough confidence in Galatasaray's ability. Although Inter Milan is a team with strong aggressiveness, Galatasaray will limit their possession, speed and technology. This game will certainly be very fierce and exciting, but the final Victory must belong to us.

Emre, the general of Galatasaray, also challenged Inter Milan: "We will not set up an iron barrel at home, and we will not change our style of play for victory. Although Inter Milan is very strong, this is Ali. Samyan Stadium, we fight under the protection of God. Here, no team can easily take away three points.

Romanian veteran Haji is more cautious. He said in an interview: Inter Milan is a very strong team. They created a miracle last season, but it can be seen from their record that it is not appropriate to call it a miracle, because they have that strength, we must prepare carefully. Fight and go all out, so that we can get the results we expect."

When the opponent challenges, of course, Inter Milan's players will not show weakness. Even outside the stadium, Jiang Mu deliberately took out Emre's words to joke in order to eliminate the fear of players and fans of Hell Stadium. He said, "No team can get from Ali. Samyan Stadium easily takes away three points. Of course, Galatasaray can't. I believe that there is no real hell court, only a demon-like team. Inter Milan is not a coward, so scared by a name. We will try the fun of escaping from hell.

Inter Milan's main striker Vieri said: "Although there are six games in the group stage, we can't be careless in every game. Galatasaray is not a weak team. They are the champions of the League Cup and the Super Cup last season. They have the strength to compete with us for the first place in the group, so we are competing with them. Never lose, so that you can take the initiative.

Hakansuk, known as the "Bull of Bosphorus", will return to his motherland to fight. When he is about to face the old master, Hakansuk's mood is very complicated. Last season, he was the main rotation of Inter Milan, but he rarely had a chance to start in the later stage. This game Ji can only sit on the bench most of the time, so he can't talk about returning home to wealth, because Galatasaray has also considered buying him back, so in this game, Hakansuk spoke very carefully and expressed his wish to fight.

Galatasaray is a great team, and so is Inter Milan. The meeting of two great teams will often create a classic. This game is the first game of Inter Milan's Champions League. We definitely hope to make a good start, but in Ali. Samyan Stadium is very difficult to play. The visiting team has to bear great pressure here. If we can withstand the pressure, there may be hope to win a victory. I hope to play, because I am very familiar with Galatasaray. I hope to score in the place where I have fought. Of course, if I can score, I won't celebrate."

Before the game, the Turkish and Italian media also expressed their views on the game, and both sides were confident that their team would win.

Turkey's largest newspaper, the Turkish Morning Post, predicts that Galatasaray will win 1:0. "There is no doubt that Inter Milan is stronger, but the stronger side can win the football game. There are many factors that determine the outcome of a game. In Istanbul, Galatasa Ray is like a team with magic. Other teams will be cursed here and can't exert their strength. In the end, Galatasaray will beat the Italian championship with one goal and win the Champions League.

Turkey's newspaper Freedom also said, "Inter Milan and Galatasaray are popular in Group D, and they are both League Cup champions and have won the Super Cup. The battle between them will never be easier than a knockout match. Although Inter Milan is stronger, this is Galatasaray's home court. I'm afraid it depends on the details who will win the game in the end.

The Italian media are speculating about the battle between Real Madrid and Rome, but because of the influence of Inter Milan, they have to make room to report on the match between Inter Milan and Galatasaray.

La Gazzetta dello Sport believes that Inter Milan's expedition is very difficult. If you want to take away three points, you must score 12 points. "This is the first battle in the group. If Inter Milan wants to take the initiative in the later knockout matches, it must not be in Ali. Samyan lost at the stadium. From the perspective of the league, the national team's game still has a certain impact on Inter Milan. The draw by Parma, whose strength has declined, is enough to show that Inter Milan has been thoroughly studied this season and has no deterrent and destructive power of last season for other teams. Galatasaray's research on Inter Milan. It must be very thorough. Inter Milan must change to win this game.

The Republic commented: "Galatasaray can only be regarded as the champion of the second-rate league. They can cause trouble for a giant like Inter Milan, but if they want to beat Inter Milan, they must play well even at home in hell. However, Jiang Mu, the head coach of Inter Milan, has a magical coach. He said that he was used to creating miracles, and it was not difficult to perform a victory escape at the home of Galatasaray's hell.
