Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    After passing AC Milan, Inter Milan's victory seemed irresistible - in the next two rounds, they defeated Ascoli and Parma again, especially in the Champions League.  This weekend before the start of the knockout round, even with all the substitutes, he still defeated the powerful Parma 4-0, increasing his winning streak to 22 games, which is only one step away from the winning streak in the entire Europe.  Three games left!

    In the standings, although Roma has been winning consecutive games recently and is clinging to Inter Milan, they are still 18 points behind Inter Milan. With nine rounds left in the league, their hope of winning the championship has begun to fade.  It¡¯s getting slimmer and slimmer¡­

    With such a winning streak, Inter Milan went to an away game to challenge Chelsea.

    Before this game, the last time Inter Milan failed to win in an official game was back in the final round of the Champions League group stage against Bayern. In that game, they tied Bayern one to one.  Since then, they have won fifteen league games, two World Club Cups, four Italian Cups, and two Champions Leagues in all competitions for four consecutive months, winning a total of twenty-three games.  During this period, they also encountered strong opponents like AC Milan, Fiorentina, and Valencia, but no team could stop their progress!

    Compared with Inter Milan, which has extremely strong momentum, Chelsea, which also won two consecutive league championships after Mourinho took over, has begun to decline in momentum this season. Although they entered the quarterfinals in the Champions League, they were in the league.  The situation is not particularly good, especially during the New Year and Christmas period. They only won one game in the five league rounds and were directly distanced by Manchester United. Although they had been in the league after losing to Liverpool.  After seven wins, Manchester United's performance is not worse than theirs. Now they are still six points behind Manchester United in the Premier League standings. With such a gap, with only six rounds left in the Premier League, it may be difficult for Chelsea to catch up.  The dream of three consecutive championships has encountered a huge challenge.

    Meeting Inter Milan at this time will obviously make them more distracted in the league, but Mourinho is also a bold head coach. In the league before the start of this game, he was equally bold in sending out  All substitutes were used, and in the end, Watford was defeated by teenager Kalou's goal in the 90th minute. While maintaining the gap with Manchester United, it also allowed the main players to be in better condition to face Inter Milan.

    In fact, from a paper point of view, Chelsea this season is unreasonably strong. The three superstars Drogba, Shevchenko, and Adriano are on the front line, and Robben, Duff, and Joe Coe are on the wing.  There are four wingers such as Erl and Wright-Phillips, four strong midfielders such as Lampard, Ballack, Makelele and Essien in the midfield, and Terry Carvalho, Gremy and Ashley Cole are also included in the defense.  Ferreira and other strong players, coupled with the double insurance at the goalkeeper position, the main Cech and the substitute Cudicini, whether it is the starting lineup or the thickness of the bench, they can compete with Inter Milan, and even far behind in some places.  beyond

    It¡¯s just that Mourinho is a little unlucky. Although he has a good hand, it is not as good as it seems

    Of the three forwards, on the surface, Drogba is in the middle, Shevchenko and Adriano are on both sides, which is a perfect combination. However, in fact, except for Drogba, who has had an explosive season  In addition, neither Shevchenko nor Adriano was able to show the form in Italy at Chelsea. Shevchenko's form began to gradually decline last season, but it is not yet.  Obviously, Adriano also fell into a low ebb after the World Cup, but he is younger than Shevchenko and has more expectations.  In terms of wingers, Robben has been tackled hard by Premier League defenders in the past two years. He has played very little this season and spent most of his time recuperating from injuries. Duff is not in the same state as in the previous two seasons. As he gets older, his speed begins to decline.  , and speed is his most powerful weapon. Joe Cole has never met people's expectations for him. Wright's performance after joining Chelsea was a disaster

    Several superstars in the midfield have performed quite well, but Makelele is not young. Essien has suffered some injuries since the beginning of this season. Ballack needs to slowly adapt to the Premier League. Only Lampard is the most reliable.  , on the defense line, they have never been able to find the most suitable right back, but the left back began to become stable after Cole joined.

    The current Chelsea is not as strong as it looks on paper, otherwise it would not be so far behind Manchester United in the league. Not only because Manchester United has begun to rise this season, Chelsea's own competitiveness has begun to decline.  It is also an indisputable fact.

    Before the start of this season, Mourinho faced the same problem as Dick.The joining of new players will bring some almost subversive changes to the team. Inter Milan is because the joining of Ibrahimovic and Maicon will make Inter Milan's frontcourt offensive core conversion and the existence of the defense line richer.  Attack, what about Chelsea?  The joining of two top centers made Mourinho abandon the previous 433 and adopt more 442. However, the difference between the two is that Inter Milan's signing was advocated by Dick, while Chelsea  Among the signings, neither Ballack nor Shevchenko was what Mourinho wanted. Although Mourinho also adjusted new tactics in a timely manner based on the personnel on hand, this adjustment was not proactive.  , but passively, which directly led to Chelsea's decline in performance this season.

    Now Inter Milan's new tactics have been fully formed, while Chelsea is still swinging between 442 and 433. Although the collective poor condition and decline of the wingers have led Mourinho to use this group of centers more,  But it also had a certain impact on their tactics.

    "Meeting Chelsea again? No, meeting Chelsea this time is different from last season. Last season it was in the group stage, and the pressure on both sides was not too great, but this time it is the knockout round. Under Mourinho  After two years of operation, Chelsea has become the most difficult team to beat. Even we cannot easily defeat them. However, we play away from home first, which is more beneficial to us if we want to win the Champions League.  To win the championship, you have to face the challenge of a strong team. Chelsea is a good opponent. I can¡¯t wait for the game on the 5th.¡±

    After leading the team to London, Dick said in an interview - Although this Chelsea team is not as good as the previous two seasons, it is still very strong. Historically, this season they are actually closer to the league championship and Champions League championship.  It¡¯s not too far away. In the league, they lost to Manchester United in the end, and in the Champions League, they were once again defeated by Benitez, who led Liverpool with a penalty kick. In fact, the goal that Liverpool equalized in the second round was offside.  Suspicious, it is not easy to beat Chelsea.

    "Chelsea and Inter Milan are the strongest teams in Europe right now. When such teams meet now, it has to be said that it is a loss for the European Champions Cup. But now that we have met, we have to deal with our opponents well. The physical fitness of our current players  Very good and in good condition. We will try to beat Inter Milan at home. We don't need to beat the opponent in one round. This will be a 180-minute or even longer contest.  Will Rai play? I think he will, he is still an important member of our team. Adriano? He had some troubles before, but now he has found his form and he will be good against Inter Milan.  important members.¡±

    Mourinho also accepted the interview. Although the current results are not very good, Chelsea still has the opportunity to win the double crown. For Mourinho, of course he is not willing to admit defeat now. In his opinion,  Chelsea's biggest opponent in the quarterfinals is now Inter Milan. If Inter Milan can be eliminated, Chelsea's winning rate will be much higher no matter who they face next!

    This is also the reason why he took the risk of using all the substitutes in the last round of the league. He knew that Inter Milan¡¯s biggest advantage was that they could devote their full efforts to the Champions League, and his previous risks were successful to a large extent.  Offsetting the advantage of Inter Milan, Chelsea is now at home again. If they can beat Inter Milan, they will perform better on the road.

    To say that Chelsea is unlucky enough, they have performed well in the past two years, so they have never had an easy time in the Champions League - in fact, the same is true for Inter Milan. In order to balance the situation, UEFA will often take measures against teams that perform well.  Some targeted moves, Inter Milan continued to encounter strong teams in the Champions League knockout rounds for two consecutive years, and Chelsea had no luck in the Champions League for three consecutive years. This factor all played a role in it.

    In the two Champions League quarter-finals played in advance on April 4, AC Milan was beaten 2-2 by Bayern at home, while Liverpool easily defeated PSV Eindhoven with three goals in the away game.  Already entered the semi-finals one round ahead of schedule - they have met the most teams in the quarter-finals. Liverpool is lucky, but this also has a lot to do with the fact that they met Barcelona in the quarter-finals. If the  If you encounter a strong team in the first round, the possibility of encountering a weak team in the second round is very high.

    Liverpool was praised, while AC Milan was criticized by the media. Although they played well at home, they were given two away goals by Bayern. This situation will not be good for AC Milan in the next game.  , their performance in the league this season is average, and if their performance in the Champions League is no longer good, then Inter Milan will be a complete failure this season.

    After these two games, it was finally the turn??Inter Milan's game - at this point on April 5th, Inter Milan will challenge Chelsea away from home, and in another game, Manchester United will challenge Roma away from home. These two games are considered the Premier League and Serie A.  Confrontation, as a league with three teams entering the quarterfinals, La Liga is completely wiped out, the Bundesliga is not very competitive, and the Eredivisie is even more soy sauce, these two leagues will compete for the Champions League this season!

    Which league will this Champions League belong to?  In the past two seasons, Liverpool won the 0405 season and Inter Milan won the 0506 season. What about this season?  Who will have the last laugh?

    Everyone is looking forward to the start of these two games.  The collision between the Premier League and Serie A is the biggest counterattack made by Serie A after the Premier League surpassed Serie A.
