It was the darkest day in the history of Roma football.

In what they thought was their greatest season, they suffered one of the most horrific defeats.

They were slaughtered directly by their championship rivals.

On one’s last legs.

Although they sit second in the table, the champion's heart could be shattered.

Maybe

I can't stitch it up anymore.

-------------------------------------

After the game, Capello attended the post-match press conference with a stiff face.

Frustrated, he said: "This game is not a real reflection of our quality. The six goals conceded were unreal and it showed that we weren't focused enough. Maybe we're still going to lose, but we shouldn't lose so much, I did it with the players before the game, but it didn't show in the game. We were overwhelmed by them from the start, Inter were more determined than we were in their belief in victory, and Jose Mourinho's players were the best in Italy this season. ”

The proud Capello finally bowed his head. Back-to-back defeats in the UEFA Cup and the league made him realise that his Roma were not the strongest. Losing again against Inter Milan has already made him doubt his life. You can be unconvinced by the loss to Liverpool in the UEFA Cup, but how to explain this 2:6?

Of course, there is an explanation, so he continued, "The absence of Batistuta, Emerson and Cafu has reduced our attack by at least half, and in terms of strength, we are the underdogs, so the defeat is actually expected, but the score is a bit exaggerated. ”

"But it's just a league defeat, it doesn't have a decisive impact on the title, any team can lose, we lost with Inter Milan last week. The two sides are now only three points apart, and with so many rounds left in the league, anything is possible. What we have to do now is to get back in our mood and focus on playing in the league. Inter also have to be distracted from the Champions League, which is a good opportunity for us as well. ”

What else is there to say, the commander of the defeated army.

Jose Mourinho walked into the press conference majestically, today's victory is of great significance, Inter Milan finally leads Roma by 3 points, and occupies the top spot, can he not be fluttering.

"Roma have the quality of a championship and Totti and Montella can decide the outcome of any match at any time, but today it didn't belong to them. They didn't play very well in the first half, they lost too much possession because Inter were faster than them and when we took control of it was easy. I always say it's important to have 25 players in reserve so that we still have a strong squad for the second half of the league. ”

'We know that other teams are not going to slow down, so we have one goal in every game, which is to get all three points. I'm very happy with the result today, every player played really well and every big game they didn't let me down. ”

'Both Lazio and Juventus had convincing victories this weekend and we did the same, and we will continue to play the same games as if we were in the Champions League final.

The gap of three points has been widened, now it is necessary to maintain the advantage, and open the advantage, Inter Milan has the capital to make mistakes, Roma does not, as long as Rome makes another mistake, the advantage will be further expanded. The pressure was on the side of Rome.

For this defeat of Rome, the Italian media also unceremoniously humiliated Rome.

Roma Sport – Business as usual

No surprises, almost the same result of the game. Roma lost to Inter Milan again, and even in the same way. The goals of Zheng Zhi and Ronaldo gave Inter Milan the advantage, proving once again that Inter Milan is still above Roma.

Fabio Capello didn't make too many adjustments for this game, and although he was right to stick to his football philosophy, he still opted for a back three in the absence of Cafu, Barty and Emerson, which doomed them to a big defeat. In the forward position, he chose to believe in Totti, who was not in good shape, did not want to believe in Hidetoshi Nakata, and did not dare to risk Cassano, which was also a big failure for Capello.

Milan Sport: Capello, it doesn't work that way.

This battle once again proved the superiority of Inter Milan and also proved that Roma could not find a way to face Inter Milan. Fabio Capello believes too much in his players, in his home turf. But they don't want to admit that Inter Milan is already a terrible team in Serie A and even in Europe. If Capello chooses to play in a back four, if he chooses Hidetoshi Nakata, it may not be the case. Throughout the game, Inter Milan were far superior to Roma in terms of belief and determination to win. For 90 minutes, Inter Milan were on the attack and never stopped attacking at all, and they directly destroyed Roma.

Torino Sport: Inter Milan cannot be imitated, cannot be conquered.

This is Inter Milan, who don't even need their stars to be at their best, to win again with a football that cannot be replicated or conquered. It looks like Roma are in danger this season.

……

-------------------------------------

Maldives, Male.

The Chinese team, which defeated the Maldives 10-0 in the first leg, actually suffered Waterloo in Male. The score of 3:1 surprised all Chinese fans. The diametrically opposed home and away performances did not look like the same team playing the scoreline at all, but the results were real.

Why?

How weak is the away game?

Everyone seems to be working hard. This score was immediately bombarded by the domestic media, and everyone thought that the national football team was not working hard in this game, just seeking a victory. Some fans even believe that the team may have played match-fixing, but there is no evidence.

Not only that, but even the backline led by Fan Zhiyi can score a goal by the likes of the Maldives?

It's even more incredible.

Of course, the point of losing the ball is not whether Fan Zhiyi is standing on the back line, but the angle of this shot is not tricky, Jiang Jun actually got rid of his hand and let the ball fly into the goal.

The media didn't dare to say it, but the fans on the Internet were talking about it.

"Jiang Jun has a problem,"

"There's definitely a problem,"

"Even if I was standing in front of the goal, I would be able to save the ball."

"Did you see the handicap that the spinach company opened before? The Chinese team only conceded three goals away from home. If the Chinese team ends the game with three goals, the spinach company will earn less, so the score will simply become 3:1, and there will be no one left! ”

"It's too ruthless."

This kind of news is extremely negative, and after all, there are bold media outlets who report it indiscriminately.

Jiang Jun is very wronged.

As a goalkeeper, can't there be times when you make mistakes? Even Brother Ou Chuliang has also made a lot of mistakes, in the 97th World Preliminaries, playing against Iran and Saudi Arabia, didn't he have several balls that he couldn't save?

To me, the nature is so bad?

alas

And the team also won.

Jiang Jun is really disgusting to some fans.

It's very congested.

Back in Tianjin, he stayed at home alone and didn't go anywhere. But the news about him is getting more and more and more crooked. I finally wanted to go out for a run, but I was blocked by reporters at the door of my house.

"What do you want to know?"

"It's just a common mistake."

"Are you going to make a mess of something?"

"Who hasn't made a mistake?"

"Do you want to put the hat on my head, it's my fault that the score of 1:3 is 1:3? Why not a problem with other players? ”

As soon as he was in a hurry, Jiang Jun sprayed.

"If Zheng Zhi also plays this result in the team, does Zheng Zhi also have a problem?"

"Inter Milan lost 0:1 at home to Reggina last week, is Zheng Zhi also a problem?"

Jiang Jun is crazy, no, pull Zheng Zhi out as a shield.

But there seems to be a little bit of truth, even Zheng Zhi can lose, as a goalkeeper, what is it to lose a goal? Why make a fuss about him.

"Everyone is not playing well, and I can't take the blame alone."

Jiang Jun is also upright and dares to say anything......

……

Zheng Zhi, who was thousands of miles away, lay down his gun. He saw the news about Jiang Jun in China.

Is this all right?

All right......

Indicates understandable.

Players, when they are wronged, who is not angry, some time ago "Roma Sports Newspaper" also said that he was the leading brother of prostitution, and finally he sent them a lawyer's letter in a fit of anger, and finally it was not strange to publish an apology in the newspaper?

It's a pity that Jiang Jun can't get such rights in China, and the media can write it as much as they want, and they can erase it as much as they want.

It's just that Zheng Zhi has reservations about the general's words.

How to say it, the main reason is that Jiang Jun really had an accident later, and he was arrested in 2012, just because it was something related to football. Of course, he committed the last thing in the first A in 03......

On the training ground, Yan Qiang of "Sports Weekly" also interviewed Zheng Zhi about Jiang Jun's incident.

Zheng Zhi is not easy to answer.

"It's boring."

"I will not express my opinion on such a blind guess, and my comments should be based on objective facts."

"It's a huge honour in itself to represent the national team, at least I'm going to give it my all and have no reservations."

He doesn't want to get caught up in the strife of the national team, which needs a united national team, not a national team that is consumed at will.

"Everyone says that you are deliberately lazy and will not return to the national team until you play the top 10 matches, is there such a statement?"

Zheng Zhi smiled.

"No, how could I think that. However, not playing for the national team does help the club. Of course, I also firmly believe that my teammates can easily reach the top 10, and I hope that everyone has full trust in the national team and the players, and this World Cup will not be like 1997. I could feel that every teammate was desperate to participate in the 2002 World Cup in Korea and Japan. Including me, I'd rather trade a golden ball for a place in the World Cup. ”

This ......

But a day later, Jiang Jun's name disappeared. It may be that the pressure of public opinion from the media fans has caused the state not to recruit for the time being, or it may be that Jiang Jun's personal remarks have caused problems.

In short, his name did not appear on the new national team list for the time being, and he was replaced by a 20-year-old young man - Anqi. Jiang Jun was not there, and only another veteran, Ou Chuliang, came up.

In the next round, Phnom Penh will play Cambodia, and there will be no problem. However, with this experience in the Maldives, there are still people calling for Zheng Zhi to be summoned back and be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years. Away against Maldives can have 3; 1, Cambodia is at least better than the Maldives, right?

It still hasn't happened. If you really want to force a move, Zheng Zhi may politely refuse. There is really no need to kill chickens with knives, the national football team will definitely enter the top 10 and help Inter Milan win this season's championship wholeheartedly.

Zheng Zhi flew to England with his team to prepare for the match at Old Trafford.

Inter Milan 10 points, Manchester United 9 points, Valencia 4 points, Panathinaikos 0 points. The qualification situation of this group is actually relatively clear, unless Manchester United loses two in a row, or Inter Milan and Manchester United will advance.

Inter Milan have already qualified from the group, and they can't afford to fight Manchester United, unless they are fighting for the top spot in the group, but there is no need. Inter Milan should be more important now on the domestic stage, the first place in the group and the second place in the group are not important, but the domestic game must be won.

This is what Valencia is most worried about, exactly the same situation that Manchester United feared in the last round, afraid of Inter Milan releasing water.

I don't know if Inter Milan will release the water or not, but Mourinho has long said that they will not use the main force to play this game, so it is Valencia's turn to cry. As long as Inter Milan can't win this game, it means that the current La Liga leaders will be eliminated.

Manchester United must be attacking with all the troops, they don't dare to put the decisive battle on the Spanish side, lose to Inter Milan today, and may lose in Spain next week, so it is them who will be cold in the end! So today at least at home to press a point, with Inter Milan to advance to the quarterfinals, isn't it fragrant?

Since Zheng Zhi will not play, Manchester United will put 10,000 hearts at ease.

Originally, Manchester United fans planned to use a lot of means to welcome Zheng Zhi at home, but it turned out that everything was useless?

However, Zheng Zhi has still become Manchester's hottest person.

English media reporters of all sizes still did not let Zheng Zhi go.

"Zheng, did you beat Keane's nose?"

Zheng Zhi faced the enthusiastic English paparazzi, "Why don't you ask him?" ”

"Will you join Manchester United one day?"

"It's even more unreliable, I still have four and a half years left on my contract with Inter Milan."

On March 6, there was no smoke of the imaginary war.

Inter Milan, who came off the bench, lost 3-1 to Manchester United, but no one was unhappy, although United were top of the group and Inter Milan were second in the group. And this is not the end of the group stage, there is also the final round of home to Panathinaikos, and the face is still going to face Valencia away, who knows the final points?

At the weekend, Inter Milan came out on top, winning 3-0 against Verona and then beating Lecce 5-0. In the first half of the season, Lecce beat Inter Milan 1-0 in Meazza, and this time they didn't have a chance.

It's just that Roma also won two in a row, and they didn't have the will to get down, so they fell out of the championship queue.

Another Wednesday, Inter Milan won at home to Panathinaikos, but Valencia, who had already been knocked out of the competition, lost 1-2 at home to Manchester United, who eventually won the group and Inter Milan finished second.

Other groups have also decided their places.

In Group B of the final round of the second group stage of the UEFA Champions League, AC Milan were held to a 1-1 draw at home by Deportivo La Coruna, with both sides scoring a penalty in the final stages of the game. AC Milan finished third in the group and were knocked out. Group B was advanced by Deportivo La Coruna and Galatasaray.

In Serie A, only Inter Milan is left, and Lazio and AC Milan have both left the battlefield. Inter Milan carries the glory of Serie A, in the past, basically it was not their turn, and more often it was AC Milan who represented Serie A.

Bayern Munich defeated Arsenal 1:0 at home to win the top spot in Group C, Lyon failed to control their fate and was forced to draw by Spartak away from home, so they accumulated 8 points with Arsenal, comparing their records, Arsenal won 1 and drew 1 and qualified. Group C was met by Bayern Munich and Arsenal.

The final round of Group D had no impact on the qualification standings, as Real Madrid had no intention of falling in love with the competition, having been beaten by two substitutes in the last five minutes and suffering their first defeat of the second stage in a 2-0 defeat away to Anderlecht. Group D was finalized by Real Madrid and Leeds United.

In the end, the quarterfinals are Inter Milan, Manchester United, Deportivo La Coruna, Galatasaray, Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Arsenal and Leeds United.

The top three in the Premier League, Spain in the top two, Germany, Italy and Turkey each have one spot.

Manchester United, Deportivo La Coruna, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid are the group winners, while Inter Milan, Arsenal, Leeds United and Galatasaray are second in the group. This means that, apart from Manchester United, the other three group winners are likely to be opponents of Inter Milan.

After the second group stage of the Champions Cup, UEFA also launched a team of the best selection campaign. Inter Milan's Zheng Zhi and Ronaldo were selected respectively, with Ronaldo being hailed as the Brazilian attack helicopter and Zheng Zhi being called the Chinese heavyweight cruiser.

Eleven players were named in the UEFA Team of the Year.

Forward: Raul (Real Madrid) – Spanish fighter

Although there were as many as seven or eight strikers who scored five goals in the group stage, only Raul's performance was impeccable from start to finish, of course, it also had something to do with the fact that he was born in Real Madrid, and the most ironic thing is that Raul repeated the long-lost hand of God in the game against Leeds United.

Forward: Cristiano Ronaldo (Inter Milan) – Brazilian attack helicopter

Eleven goals put Ronaldo at the top of the scorers' charts, well ahead of the rest of his rivals. With Zheng Zhi and Andrea Pirlo behind him, he is Inter's most feared killer.

Striker: Paul Scholes (Manchester United) - British stealth fighter

Although he is not really a striker, he is better than a striker. He is also one of the longest-playing players in the Champions League this season, and without him, Cole would not have been the club's all-time top scorer in the Champions Cup, with Eriksen saying: "A genius who prepares dinner for Manchester United!" ”

Left midfield: Effenberg (Bayern Munich) - German main battle tank

Bayern's "barometer", all the tactics of the whole team are designed around him, his vision on the field, his ability to assist, his strong physique and his never-ending running have all contributed to Bayern's breakthrough in the quarterfinals, although he spent yesterday's crucial game against Arsenal sitting in the stands.

Right midfield: Figo (Real Madrid) - Portuguese attack transport tank

Figo has shown the world's No. 1 value in every game of the group stage, with tireless high-quality assists, accurate 3 penalties and steady form making him the most mainstream name in the Champions League.

Defender: Zheng Zhi (Inter Milan) - Chinese heavyweight cruiser

Zheng Zhi's form has been very stable this season, and UEFA's official statistics show that Zheng Zhi ranks first among midfielders in the group stage in various technical indicators such as ball breaks, assists, and tackle success rate.

Defender: Boyll (Leeds United) - British transport armoured

Leeds United were able to break into the quarter-finals first thanks to his six crucial goals, and he is one of the few players in the Leeds United team who has a very small foot on his feet, which is also his capital to be the source of attack, and it was he who saved the whole team when Viduka and Smith were up and down, and it all happened during his interrogation......

Left-back: Maldini (AC Milan) - Italian nuclear submarine

It would be inaccurate to classify him as a left-back, and at a time when AC Milan were in a serious crisis with their players, he made a cameo appearance in any position at the back except the goalkeeper, which is truly a "top player"! In the player ratings of "Milan Sport" and "Roma Sport" after each game, he ranked first in the team, although AC Milan was eliminated, he got the opportunity to fight side by side with his father, which can be regarded as a bitter romance!

Central defender: Donato (Deportivo La Coruna) - Brazilian aircraft carrier

At the age of 38, his slightly bloated size did not prevent him from making a perfect storm at the back of the Deportivo La Coruna, and Irueta publicly praised his "remarkable and great contribution" to the team after the draw with Milan to reach the quarter-finals, and in him we saw the resourcefulness and solidity that most Spanish defenders lacked.

Right-back: Angeloma (Valencia) - Argentine Classic-class frigate

Valencia conceded the fewest goals in the group stage, while the 35-year-old was the most impeccable, providing Mendieta with plenty of firepower down the right flank, having won the trophy with Marseille once in 1993, but his desire to relive his old dream was dashed.

Mengue: Barthez (Manchester United) - French anti-aircraft missile system

Manchester United's backline was very mediocre due to the addition of new blood, and it was thanks to Barthez's super performance that he was able to concede the second fewest goals in the entire group stage (5 goals, 3 of which were conceded by Inter Milan), especially in the two games against Pannesenaikos, Barthez proved that he was no worse than Schmeichel.

-------------------------------------

On the 16th, the draw for the knockout stage of the UEFA Champions League was held at the UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland, and the quarter-finals and semi-finals will be drawn together.

The four principles for the draw for the quarter-finals of the Champions Cup are: the first and second in the same group in the second stage of the group stage cannot play against each other; The winners of each group cannot play each other; The runners-up in each group cannot play against each other; The second place in each group plays at home in the first leg. There are no seeded teams in the semi-finals and finals draws, and the team drawn first will play at home, and the team drawn first will be considered as the "home team" due to the winner of the final.

The point is, by not evading!

Therefore, there is a possibility that the phenomenon of roomwork in England will occur.

The results of the Champions Cup draw are as follows (the former plays at home first):

Quarterfinal:

Inter Milan - Bayern

Galatasaray - Real Madrid

Leeds United - Deportivo La Coruna

Arsenal - Manchester United

Semifinal:

Leeds United/Deportivo La Coruna-Inter Milan/Bayern Munich.

Galatasaray/Real Madrid-Arsenal/Manchester United.

The first leg of the quarterfinals took place on April 3 and 4, and the second leg took place two weeks later on the 17th and 18th. The first leg of the semi-finals is scheduled for May 1 and 2, and the second leg will be held a week later on the 8th and 9th. The final took place on May 23 at the San Siro Stadium in Milan.

After the results of the Champions Cup draw were announced, the famous British bookmaker William Hill immediately opened the odds to win the championship, Real Madrid became the biggest favorite to win this year's European Champions Cup with 2 to 5, Manchester United, the winner of the 1999 Champions Cup, became the second favorite to win the championship with 1 to 4, and Inter Milan became the third favorite with 2 to 11.

They are last year's Champions Cup runners-up Deportivo La Coruna (6 to 1), Bayern Munich (13 to 2), Arsenal (7 to 1), Leeds United (12 to 1) and Galatasaray (25 to 1).

-------------------------------------

"God, how did you meet Inter?"

As soon as the draw results came out, the Bayern crowd on the training ground looked confused.

Former Bayer Leverkusen veterans Ballack and Lucio couldn't believe it. Whoever is not good, meets Zheng Zhi's Inter Milan. Even if it's against Arsenal, Leeds or Deportivo La Coruna.

Inter

No one wants to touch it.

"I have a premonition that I don't feel good......" Lucio said bluntly.

Barak: "Don't talk nonsense. ”

"Where there is a sense of foreboding, if we want to win the championship, we have to win all the opponents."

Lucio: "But ......"

Inter Milan's views are actually somewhat similar.

"Ah~"

"How can it be Bayern?"

"Can't you draw a Coruña?"

"Bayern have been very strong this year. There's Barak and Lucio. ”

Gresco expressed concern.

"It's good, we have experience in playing Bayern, and besides, it's good to meet old friends again. It's good to meet in the quarterfinals, it's better than meeting in the finals, the later you meet, the sadder you are, there will always be one who will be eliminated. ”

"But don't worry, it's definitely them who are crying, and we'll lend their shoulders to lean on when the time comes."

……

If you want to say that you are not satisfied with the draw, there is one more team, and that is Arsenal. Arsenal must not have been happy to draw Manchester United, and it always feels too early for two of their most familiar opponents to meet early. Wenger is still reluctant to meet Ferguson, who has been fighting in the Premier League for several years, although he can wrestle with Manchester United, but overall Arsenal still suffers a lot.

Ferguson is also a little cautious, preferring to draw an unfamiliar opponent rather than the most familiar opponent, who knows what will happen? Of course, in fact, Manchester United does not have many options, is it possible to draw Leeds United? It doesn't make much difference either. The semi-finals are not scary, but the opponents in the semi-finals and finals should be scary......

In fact, Mourinho also thinks the same, he also looks backwards, looks farther, there is nothing wrong, anyway, he has a champion heart.

After the hurdle of eight into four has passed, the semi-final matchup has also been decided. If Inter Milan survive this hurdle, they will face the winner of Leeds United and Deportivo La Coruna, and whoever it is, it seems that they can be guaranteed to reach the final.

Inter Milan's luck is actually good, of course, provided that they survive the mighty Bayern Munich.

In the other half, Real Madrid and Manchester United look more likely to meet in the semi-finals.

"As" newspaper has even predicted this year's Champions League final - Real Madrid VS Inter Milan, and then Real Madrid won the championship in Meazza and took revenge on Zheng Zhi!

Can the Spanish media not remember that last year, because of Zheng Zhi, Real Madrid lost their ninth Champions League trophy?

Marca's view is similar - although Manchester United also have a good chance, Real Madrid after losing in the final last year, they are most eager to reach the final again, and the opponent is likely to be Inter Milan, led by the Chinese.

England's predictions are the opposite, with the final supposed to be Manchester United vs Inter Milan, with Manchester United also seeking revenge.

The Times – As far as the knockout rounds are concerned, Manchester United have little problem beating Arsenal, and in the semi-finals, they should knock out Real Madrid with consistency and finally meet Inter Milan in the final, and Ferguson will now start looking at how to beat Inter Milan. Manchester United's Champions League defeats in the past two years are related to Chinese Zheng Zhi, and if Zheng Zhi could have been allowed to join Old Trafford last summer, Manchester United would not have suffered so much this season.

Of course, the Italian media "Milan Sport" is also a good prediction - the final Inter Milan vs Real Madrid, Real Madrid won the Champions League final for two consecutive years, and Inter Milan lifted the trophy at the San Siro Stadium, while AC Milan was secretly crying.

"Roma Sport" also said that after Lazio and AC Milan left the Champions Cup together, only Inter Milan carried Italy's hopes, maybe they can go all the way to the end and lift the Champions Cup? The last time Inter won the Champions League was in 1964-65, 36 years ago.

German "Kicker" - Bayern Munich will win the championship! This will be the best time for Bayern Munich to win the championship! Ballack, Effenberg, Ze Roberto, Elber, Sauer, Lucio, Salihamidzic, Santa Cruz...... This is the strongest Bayern Munich in history, and it's time to win the title!
