Chapter 517: Five Thunderbolts
For Villarreal, they got off to a good start in this game, but unfortunately, the scene after the opening was sung by them, and in the following time, it all became the stage for Inter Milan's performance!
After two assists, Figo continued his performances and seemed to be better against La Liga side as he was more familiar with his opponents......
Chapter 527 More energy in them, and what about their opponent Juventus? After losing the first leg by two goals away from home, they have to focus on the Champions League, but what about the league? They are already a point ahead of Inter Milan!
With only seven rounds left in the league, can they afford to drop points? And Inter Milan can do their best in this round of the league!
"If I were the manager of Juventus, I would give up the Champions Cup, after all, for Juventus, the league is the game they care about the most......
Dick began to continue to stimulate Juventus, and the meaning of this is obvious, which is to ridicule Juventus as a nest, only winning the championship in the league, but not competing at all in the Champions Cup......
This annoys Juventus fans, you know, we are also two-time Champions Cup winners, okay? The same number of times you have won the Champions Cup with Inter Milan! And we've reached the Champions Cup final seven times in total! If it weren't for my bad luck, I would have thrown you far away!
It's just that even if they are dissatisfied, they can't change their predicament in the future, in fact, in this round, Juventus is only challenging the weak Treviso away from home, even if they are on the bench, they should be able to win......
Inter Milan played against Messina, and these two opponents should not be the opponents of Inter Milan and Juventus, and they will not cause them any problems. [Full text reading. 】
Inter Milan did crush their opponents at home, with Toney, who had recently returned to goalscoring form, opening the scoring in the game, Adriano scoring twice, and a goal from substitute Cruz, Inter swept Messina 4-1 at home to claim their 24th win of the season.
Juventus, who took the risk of coming on as a substitute, suffered a heavy blow, and the substitutes who had rarely played before were completely unable to show their strength, and they were forced to draw 0-0 by Treviso away from home! This result is completely unacceptable to Juventus fans, you must know that although they are all substitutes, they still have famous players like Piero, Appia, Montero, Ferrara, Billindeli, Pesoto, and Blassi, these players used to be the main force of Juventus, but now they have become substitutes because of their age!
Capello's mistake is that he used the main force too many times before, so that the substitutes have almost no chance to play, such a risk, naturally can not achieve the same effect as Inter Milan, Dick has been consciously rotating since the beginning of the season, so that the players can maintain their condition while the tacit understanding of the substitute lineup continues to improve, so that such results can be achieved!
This draw allowed Inter Milan to extend their lead to three points!
'As I said, once we're at the top of the table, it's hard for others to catch up with us, especially since we're getting better and better and Juventus are constantly overdrawing their fitness...... I think there seems to be no suspense in the battle for the league title. ”
Dick's words at the post-match press conference were extremely arrogant, with six rounds of league games to go, and a three-point lead was out of suspense...... However, judging from his consistent record in the past, his words are still really reasonable, and the team he led has not lost the championship after the end of the season!
In fact, it was only at this time that reporters realized that Dick had won the league title every season since his debut, except for the months when he was fighting fires at Atletico Madrid.
He coached two seasons at Atletico Madrid, two La Liga titles, two seasons at Borussia Dortmund, two Bundesliga titles, and had won a league title at Inter Milan before, and now he is ready to win the second such title, and he is a well-deserved gold medal coach! While the likes of Capello, Trapattoni, Heathfield and Alex Ferguson have won the league title a lot more than Dick, how long have those managers been in charge? How many years has Dick been coaching? If this continues, Dick may really have to rule the whole of Europe for a long time, because he is now less than twenty-eight years old, and it is conservatively estimated that there will be no problem in teaching for another thirty years!
"Do you win the league every year? Wow, this is the first time I've noticed this, and now I think I'm really amazing! Dick sighed in an interview.
"Amazing your sister!" Countless reporters complained frantically in their hearts, but with Dick's characteristics, it was really normal to react like this, isn't this the reaction he should make?
"I sincerely hope that Juventus can complete the comeback in the Champions League and beat Arsenal."
But then Dick's words lifted the spirits of all the reporters, and then Dick said what they wanted to hear: "So I can beat Juventus at least three times in a season...... In the two years I have been in charge of Inter Milan, I have not completed a double against Juventus, which is really my biggest regret! ”
At that moment, Dick became the most hated person by Juventus fans, but Dick didn't care, and proudly led the team to Spain, which was his second visit to Spain in a month, but this time it was not all Madrid, but the small city of Villarreal.
At the Love Song Stadium, Villarreal stubbornly put up the last resistance, but unfortunately, the three-goal gap in the first leg was too big, so big that they couldn't get it back no matter how hard they tried, and Inter Milan was slowly entangled with the opponent in the midfield, and finally Villarreal failed to stop Inter Milan despite relying on defender Arua Barrena to receive Riquelme's free kick in the second half and let Inter Milan fail to score any goals throughout the game!
Four to two over two legs, Inter Milan enters the semi-finals!
In the other match played at the same time, thanks to Shepchenko's brace and Inzaghi's goal, A Milan defeated Lyon 3-1 at home, 0-0 in the first leg, relying on this victory, A Milan entered the last four at the same time.
Unfortunately, Juventus were not able to pull off a miracle in the second day's game, as they were held to a 0-0 draw at home by Arsenal and exited 0-2 on aggregate.
Failed to qualify, but the main players in this game also fought fiercely, and the next game is at home against Fiorentina, because the three French internationals Vieira, Thuram and Trezeguet, who were injured in the scramble, cannot play, can Juventus really beat Fiorentina and save their confidence?
And what about Inter Milan? Dick only fielded half of their main team away from home in this game, the rest of the main team were resting, and their opponents in this round were the underdogs in the middle of the table, Ascoli...... Inter Milan has a great winning rate even if it is away, and if Inter Milan continues to extend its lead, Juventus has almost lost hope of winning the championship!
"Juventus don't have as much bench thickness as ours, it's normal to have such performances, forget it, why do you keep asking me questions about Juventus? I'm interested in judging the close opponents, and I'm more interested in talking about Milan now, and I'm already looking forward to the title of Milan in both the league and the Champions League. ”
Dick continued his vitriolic style, while Inter Milan did not stop moving forward, and on the road, although Ascoli scored a goal, they were still slaughtered by Inter Milan with a large number of goals, Toney scored twice, scored his 28th and 29th goals of the season, and was only one step away from the record of 30 goals!
Sneijder and Córdoba also scored a goal each in the game, and Inter Milan swept away 4-1 away from their opponents, and their season goals reached 113, only 12 away from Torino's record, and five league games remaining!
What makes Juventus fans thunder is that in this round, Juventus, who consumed too much energy in the Champions Cup and were absent from three big players, suffered a draw again, they drew 1-1 with Fiorentina at home, and with five rounds left in the league, they were already five points behind Inter Milan! After three consecutive draws, Juventus, which was originally one point ahead of Inter Milan, was instantly thrown off by Inter Milan by five points, and when the Champions Cup knockout round began, it was Juventus who collapsed first, not Inter Milan!
"Five points? Well, it's good, even if we lose to A Milan, it's no problem, as long as we get enough points in the remaining games. Dick continued to irritate Juventus. :)
