After passing the AC Milan hurdle, Inter Milan's victory seemed to be irresistible - in the next two rounds, they beat Ascoli and Parma again in succession, especially in the weekend before the start of the Champions League knockout round, with all the substitutes still defeated the strong Parma 4-0, increasing their winning streak to 22 games, and only three games away from the winning streak in all of Europe!

In the standings, although Roma have recently won consecutive games and bitten Inter Milan, they are still 18 points behind Inter Milan, and now with nine rounds left in the league, their hopes of winning the title are starting to become more and more slim......

With such a winning streak, Inter Milan travelled to take on Chelsea.

Prior to this match, the last time Inter Milan did not win in an official competition was back in the final round of the Champions League group stage against Bayern, when they drew 1-1 with Bayern, and since then, they have won 15 league games, two Club World Cups, four Coppa Italia and two Champions Cups, and they have won all competitions for four consecutive months, winning a full 23 matches, during which they have also faced the likes of AC Milan, Fiorentina, Valencia are such a strong opponent, but no team can stop them!

Compared with the fierce momentum of Inter Milan, Chelsea, who also won two league titles in a row after Mourinho took over, has begun to decline in momentum this season, although they entered the quarterfinals in the Champions Cup, the situation in the league is not particularly good, especially during the New Year and Christmas period, they only won one game in five league rounds, and they were directly distanced by Manchester United, although they have won seven consecutive league games after losing to Liverpool, Manchester United is no worse than them, They are still six points behind Manchester United in the Premier League table, a gap that may be difficult to catch up with with only six games left in the Premier League, and Chelsea's dream of a third consecutive title has been greatly challenged.

Meeting Inter Milan at this time will obviously make them more distracted in the league, but Mourinho is also a bold manager, in the league before the start of this game, he was equally bold to send all the substitutes, and finally relied on the teenager Kalou's goal in the 90th minute to defeat Watford, while keeping the gap with Manchester United, but also allowing the main players to be in better shape to face Inter Milan.

In fact, on paper, this season's Chelsea is a little unreasonable, the three superstars on the front line, Drogba, Shepchenko, Adriano, Robben, Duff, Joe Cole and Wright Phillips four wingers on the wing, Frank Lampard, Ballack, Makelele, Essien and other four strong midfielders in the midfield, there are also Tricarvalho, Graremy, Ashley Corferrera and other strong players in the backline, plus the double insurance in the goalkeeper position, the main Petr Cech and the substitute Cudicini, whether it is the starting or the thickness of the bench, they can all compete with Inter Milan, and even far beyond the ...... in some places

It's just that Mourinho is a little unfortunate that although he has a good hand, it is not as good as it seems......

Three strikers, on the surface, Drogba in the middle, Shepchenko and Adriano on both sides is a perfect combination, but in fact, in addition to Drogba ushered in an explosion this season, whether it is Shepchenko or Adriano, Chelsea has not been able to show the state in Italy, Shepchenko's form has begun to decline gradually last season, but it is not obvious, and Adriano has also fallen into a low ebb after the World Cup, It's just that he is younger than Shepchenko and has a greater sense of antiquity. In terms of wingers, Robben has been shoveled enough by Premier League defenders in the last two years, he has played very little this season, most of the time he is recovering from injuries, Duff has not been in the form of the previous two seasons, his speed began to decline as he got older, and speed is his most powerful weapon, Joe Cole has never lived up to people's expectations of him, and Wright Jr.'s performance after joining Chelsea has been a disaster......

Several superstars in midfield have performed quite well, but Makelele is not young, Essien has suffered some injuries since the start of the season, Ballack needs to slowly adapt to the Premier League, only Frank Lampard is the most reliable, at the back, they have not been able to find the most suitable right-back, but the left-back has begun to become solid after Cole's arrival.

The current Chelsea is not as strong as it seems on paper, otherwise it would not have been left behind by Manchester United in the league so many points difference, not only because Manchester United began to rise this season, but it is also an indisputable fact that Chelsea's own competitiveness began to decline.

Before the start of this season, Mourinho faced the same problem as Dick, that is, the arrival of new players will bring some almost subversive changes to the team, Inter Milan because of the addition of Ibrahimovic and McConn, will make Inter Milan's attacking core change and the presence of the back line more aggressive, what about Chelsea? The addition of two top center forwards made Mourinho begin to give up the previous four-three-three and use more four-four-two, but the difference between the two is that Inter Milan's recruitment is advocated by Dick, and Chelsea's recruitment, Ballack and Shepchenko are not the people Mourinho wants, although Mourinho also adjusted the new tactics in time according to the personnel situation at hand, but this adjustment is not active, but passive, which directly led to the decline of Chelsea's results this season.

Now that Inter's new tactics are fully formed, Chelsea are still oscillating between four-four-twos and four-three-threes, and although the collective poor form and decline of the winger group has led Mourinho to use more of this group of central strikers, it has also had a certain impact on their tactics.

'Chelsea again? No, this time against Chelsea is not the same as last season. Last season was in the group stage, and the pressure on both sides was not too great, but this time it was a knockout round. After two years in Jose Mourinho's stewardship, Chelsea have become the most difficult team to beat, even we can't beat them easily. But we play away first, which is a good thing for us, and if we want to win the Champions Cup, we have to face a strong team, Chelsea are a good opponent and I can't wait for the number five game. ”

After leading the team to London, Dick said in an interview - although the results of this Chelsea team are not as good as the previous two seasons, but they are also very strong, in history this season they are not too far away from the league championship and the Champions Cup, the league finally lost to Manchester United, and the Champions Cup was once again led by Benitez, who was a man of character, led Liverpool to be defeated by penalty shootouts, in fact, the goal that Liverpool equalized in the second leg was suspected of offside, and wanted to beat Chelsea, It's not an easy task.

'Chelsea and Inter Milan are the strongest teams in Europe right now, and it has to be said that it is a loss for the Champions League to meet such a team now. But now that we've met, we'll have to deal with our opponents well. We're in good fitness and form and we're going to try to beat Inter at home. We don't need to beat the opponent in one leg of the two-legged match, it will be 180 minutes or more. Will Makelele play? I think he would, he's still an important part of our squad. Adriano? He's had some trouble before, but now he's back in form and he'll be a big part of the game against Inter. ”

Mourinho was also interviewed, although the current results are not very good, but Chelsea still has a chance to win the double, for Mourinho, now of course he is not willing to admit defeat, in his opinion, now Chelsea's biggest opponent in the quarterfinals is nothing more than Inter Milan, if you can eliminate Inter Milan, no matter who you face next, Chelsea's winning rate will be much higher!

That's why he took the risk of using all the substitutes in the last round of the league, he knows that Inter Milan's biggest advantage is that they can give it their all in the Champions League, and his previous adventure success has largely offset this advantage for Inter Milan, and now Chelsea are at home, and if they can beat Inter, they will perform better on the road.

To say that Chelsea is also unlucky, they have achieved good results in the past two years, so it has never been easy in the Champions Cup - in fact, Inter Milan is the same, UEFA in order to balance, often will make some targeted moves on the outstanding team, Inter Milan in the Champions Cup knockout round for two consecutive years, Chelsea has not been lucky in the Champions Cup for three consecutive years, this factor plays a role in it.

AC Milan were held 2-2 at home to Bayern Munich in the two Champions League quarter-finals on April 4, while Liverpool beat PSV Eindhoven by three goals comfortably away from home and entered the semi-finals almost one round ahead of schedule - they have met the most teams in the quarter-finals, Liverpool are lucky, but this also has a lot to do with the fact that they met Barcelona in the quarter-finals.

Liverpool were praised and AC Milan were criticised by the media, although they played well at home, but Bayern Munich scored two away goals, which is not good for AC Milan's next games, they have a mediocre performance in the league this season, and if they do not perform well in the Champions League, then Inter Milan will be a complete failure this season.

After these two games, it is finally the turn of Inter Milan - on April 5, Inter Milan will challenge Chelsea away, and in the other game, Manchester United will challenge Roma away, these two games are considered to be the confrontation between the Premier League and Serie A, as a league with three teams entering the quarterfinals, in La Liga is completely wiped out, the Bundesliga is not very competitive, and the Eredivisie is playing soy sauce, these two leagues will compete for this season's Champions Cup!

Which league will the Champions Cup belong to? In the last two seasons, Liverpool have won the 0405 season and Inter Milan have won the 0506 season, what about this season? Who's going to have the last laugh?

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