Chapter 377 The first out of the group
In the first half, Inter Milan expanded the score to 2:0. Galatasaray also made targeted adjustments at halftime, but it did not change the situation. After consecutive goals, Inter Milan's morale and combat effectiveness improved to another level. After the beginning of the second half, they have fully controlled the game. They firmly control the right to the ball, fight back when they have a chance, infiltrate if they don't have a chance, and don't give the Turks a chance at all.
After Ronaldo, who came on as a substitute in the 55th minute of the second half, broke through the door of his compatriot Tafarel with a hanging shot, the Turks collapsed on the whole line and was finally slaughtered by Inter Milan scoring two more goals.
After the game, the news of another game also came out. Alkmaar and Nantes drew 0:0 at home, so that Inter Milan not only qualified for the group, but also locked the first place in the group, because now Alkmaar and Nantes only have 4 points. Even if they win the next two games, they will also They can only get 10 points at most, and now Inter Milan has scored 12 points after a four-game winning streak.
Jiang Mu is very happy with such a result. He told reporters at a press conference after the game, "This is the result we most want to see in our group stage. Although we are very confident in qualifying, it is also important for us to qualify early. This season, we will fight in the third line, and the season is very short. It will be a tough test for any team, and the break time of the two games is very important to us. In this way, we have enough time to prepare for the next Milan derby against AC Milan. Galatasaray is a very strong team. They are full of fighting spirit. Even at home, we are not as easy as the score. No game in the Champions League is easy, but as long as you show your best form and attitude, victory is not far away from you.
Galatasaray head coach Lucescu also lost convincingly this time. He said, "Although 5:0 is not a normal score, I admit that Inter Milan is the most powerful team in Group D. They can beat any team, and their qualifying is also what we expected. Now Inter Milan They have qualified in the group and won the first place in the group. Next, I hope they can play the spirit of fair play in the last two games.
Galatasaray's worries are not superfluous. Historically, many big teams will send all substitutes to play after losing, and even replace them with second-tier teams. However, Galatasaray has no way. Even UEFA and FIFA can do this kind of thing. It is their own freedom for people to send any team. You No matter how good the UEFA is, it can't arrange tactics for others. Even if Lucescu says now, I'm afraid Inter Milan will still go its own way, but Lucescu can only do his best to look at Inter Milan's professional ethics.
After this battle, Galatasaray has ranked last in Group D, with only 3 points. Both Nantes and Alkmaar have 4 points, and Galatasaray has the least goal difference. The last two games are a life-and-death battle for Galatasaray, but even if the last two games are won, Galatasaray is afraid It also depends on the opponent's performance, which makes Galatasaray very depressed.
After the four rounds of the game, there have been three teams that qualified. Inter Milan in Group D's four-game winning streak are well-deserved. Real Madrid in Group A is also qualified from the group with four consecutive wins, but they can't guarantee the first place in the group. Roma has also accumulated 7 points, if after If Real Madrid doesn't play well in the two games, maybe Rome will have a chance to overtake. No one has thought of the Czech team Sparta Prague. They are now 3 wins and 10 points, and they have qualified unbeaten.
Group B was originally a group of strong and weak, but now because of Liverpool's downturn, Boavista occupies the first place. Now Boavista is defeated by Borussia Dortmund. The situation in Group B is chaotic, and anyone can qualify. Even if they lose four games and are tied for three games, Dynamo Kiev, may catch up. Boa West, who ranks first in points, may be eliminated. Boa West, who ranks first, dares not say that he will definitely qualify, but has become a typical group of death.
The situation in Group C is similar to that in Group B. Panasin Neikos, who had won three games and three games, lost to Arsenal in this round. Now they have accumulated 9 points and can't qualify from this group. Schalke 04, who had lost three times in a row, was like suddenly waking up from sleep. He slaughtered Maroka 4:0 and saved the last line of the team to qualify. The hope.
The situation in Group E is more dangerous than Group B and Group C. Juventus, who has 8 points, does not have much advantage. He also has Porto and Celtics with 7 points. Even Rosenberg, who only got one point, does not have any hope of qualifying in the group. It can be said that E is composed of another of the eight groups. Death team.
The situation in Group F is relatively clear. Barcelona and Leverkusen are both expected to score 9 points, while Fenerbahce has been eliminated ahead of schedule. Ligue 1 giants Lyon has 6 points, but they have to play against Barcelona and Leverkusen in the next two games, and they have to win all. Their hope of qualifying is already very slim.
Group G has the former champion Manchester United, but the top of the list is La Liga midstream team La Coruña. La Coruña is now two wins and two draws, with 8 points. It is worth mentioning that La Coruña's two victories are won by Manchester United. Manchester United has two wins, two losses and six points. The situation is not optimistic. Behind Manchester United, Olympiacos has 4 points and Lille has 4 points. Anyone in this group can qualify, and its death index is better than Group E.
Bayern's performance in Group H can only be said to be average. They ranked second with two wins, two draws and 8 points. The first place is the Czech team Sparta Prague, who can't imagine. They are now 3 wins, one draw and 10 points, and have been undefeated. Lazio, who was expected to qualify with Bayern before the game, only drew one game, and has now been eliminated early. Feyenoord, who has 2 points, has little hope. Even if they win the last two games, they will be equal to Bayern, unless Feyenoord can kill Bayern in a direct dialogue with Bayern, but the possibility of completing this initiative at Bayern's home is almost zero.
After the four rounds of the UEFA Champions League group stage, the strongest giants are Real Madrid and Inter Milan. The biggest dark horse is Sparta Prague, and the most disappointing is Lazio.
Italy's Roma Sport said sadly, "Lazio's speed of depravity is astonishing. Not only did they fall to 10 in the league, but they were also decadent in the Champions League. Just four rounds have passed, and now they have been eliminated, which really makes people feel uncomfortable about Craniotti's gold dollar policy. Understandable, now we really want to ask, Lazio, what's wrong with you?"
Milan Sport did not gloat. In addition to congratulating Inter Milan on their promotion, the reporter also mentioned three other Italian teams participating in the Champions League. "Congratulations to Inter Milan, he has made the world realize what the Serie A champion is, four rounds in a row, and super strength. In a super good state, only Real Madrid can compare, but if you think about the money Real Madrid spent in the transfer market and the transfer of Inter Milan, you can know the strength of Inter Milan under Jiang Mu. The other three Serie A teams that participate in the Champions League, Juventus and Roma, are in average overall condition, but as long as they play the last two games well, there is still hope to advance, but Lazio is in the cup. Their performance is like a new team in the Champions League, which really doesn't match their championship-level lineup.
Spain's largest circulation Marca said after the game that the champion of this season is between Real Madrid and Inter Milan. Real Madrid should deal with Inter Milan in advance and don't repeat the big loss it suffered in Alkmaar.
Germany's Bild believes that this season's Champions League is likely to be a subversive season. In the group stage, dark horses are likely to steal the Champions League championship and break the monopoly of the giants. Bild is very optimistic about Leverkusen, Panathinaikos, Boa West, and Sparta Prague. I think they are most likely to be spoilers, but if they want to go to the finals or even win the cup, I'm afraid only Leverkusen in the five major leagues can do it. The other three teams are too shallow.
After the fourth round of the Champions League group stage, Inter Milan will soon usher in the Milan derby in the middle of the week. For Inter Milan, this is no less than the championship battle. In the field of football, the brothers in the same city will always be the biggest sworn enemy. In any way, Inter Milan cannot lose to AC Mi. Lan.
AC Milan did not participate in the Champions League this season, but they also have to play the UEFA Cup, and it is a day later than Inter Milan's game. However, AC Milan used a large number of substitutes in the first round of the two-round League Cup knockout matches. This substitute also easily defeated the weak team Sofia by 2:0. The Central Army, AC Milan has no disadvantage in terms of physical fitness, but it does not have the upper hand.
If Inter Milan wants to take the initiative in which aspect, it is the league points. Now Inter Milan is 5 points ahead of AC Milan. If Inter Milan wins this game, AC Milan will open the gap of eight points, which is difficult for AC Milan to accept, but if AC Milan wins, he The gap between the points between us can be narrowed to a game immediately.
Such a point situation also determines the flexibility of the game between the two sides. Inter Milan can attack, defend, lose or draw, but AC Milan cannot accept failure. The draw will be as difficult for them as a fly. In this way, AC Milan's tactical intention is easy to guess, and it has always been tactically flexible. Jiang Mu said that his arrangement for this game will be easier.
However, the derby is a derby. Such a game will not be played in a normal way. In such a game, both coaches, players and fans will be very excited. Their on-the-spot state is likely to be more important than the coach's tactics. Maybe a mistake will determine the outcome of a game.
