"The draw for the knockout round of the Champions Cup for the 05-06 season is over! This draw ceremony can be described as a good show, and there are three races like Mars hitting the earth! First Inter Milan met Real Madrid, then Barcelona met Chelsea, and finally Bayern met AC Milan! The three teams that finished second in the group all met a giant, which fully proved the ruthlessness of the Champions League knockout round...... Luckily for them, Rangers and Villarreal will be the least spectacular of the two teams, but they both have chances to beat each other...... Liverpool and Arsenal are also relatively lucky, they meet Benfica and Ajax, relatively speaking, it is much easier, Juventus meets Bremen, there should not be much problem in qualifying, as for Lyon and Eindhoven, I am afraid that there will be a dragon battle......"

"In the three big talks, apart from the fact that there was probably not much to talk about between Bayern Munich and AC Milan, there was so much to say in the other two...... Inter Milan manager Dick originally debuted from Atletico Madrid, as the former head coach of Atletico Madrid, he is happy to create some trouble for his former rival, Real Madrid's results this season are very bad, more than 20 days ago they just fired Brazil coach Rosenborg, and the former youth team coach Carlo who was temporarily transferred to a team is about to meet such an opponent who makes Real Madrid feel extremely headaches, and it is indeed too cruel for Carlo...... And Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho was an assistant coach at Barcelona for four years, and last season he defeated Barcelona in a crazy back and forth attack, and now is the best time for Barcelona to get revenge! I think the broadcasters will have a headache, even though the two games are not played on the same day, but it is difficult to maximize the benefits of two consecutive matches......

In the next few days, the media was full of news about these matchups, and in the bombardment of news, Dick quietly returned to Milan, and Inter Milan also restarted their training camp. 【Fengyun Reading Network. 】

"Guys, we had a lot of luck and had a good opponent in the knockout round."

As soon as Dick said this, the players on the training ground began to laugh, they felt that the head was too thick-skinned, and they met Real Madrid, which can be said to be the strongest of the eight second-place players, and actually said that they were lucky......

"What are you laughing at, I mean really, compared to Bayern, Real Madrid is much easier to deal with! Especially the current Real Madrid, it is even easier to deal with. Don't look at the fact that they spent so much money and bought so many people in the summer, but the run-in is a big problem, and they just changed the head coach, that Carlo is not a great head coach, and it is much easier to deal with him than against Magath. Besides, don't you know me? I'm the best manager in the world against Real Madrid! ”

The players couldn't laugh at this time, because Dick's words were largely true - the years he coached Atletico Madrid were Real Madrid's bad luck days, winning two league championships and two European championships in two years, and Real Madrid couldn't raise its head until Dick left Atletico Madrid, but it was quickly suppressed by Valencia and Barcelona in turn, which was quite miserable.

And Real Madrid's turmoil in recent years is also in everyone's eyes, the 0304 season under the leadership of Queiroz lost a good game, last season changed three managers in a row, this season replaced Rosenborg, although the new Carlo is the head coach of Real Madrid's youth team, but will he be the next Dick? It seems unlikely that a monster like Dick has only produced such a monster in the past ten years, who was unknown before, became famous in one fell swoop and then became the top manager in the whole of Europe...... This is a rare occurrence in the history of football, and one of the most famous assistant coaches before was probably Paisley, who helped the Reds sweep across Europe, but until then he had been the focus of Liverpool's development, and he was not almost out of nowhere like Dick......

So Dick's self-confidence is not unreasonable.

"Alright, guys, there's still more than a month left in the Champions League knockout round, and now is not the time to think about that...... I don't think you have had this holiday, right? You're all looking forward to setting a new unbeaten record, right? Actually, what is there to worry about? It's normal to have an unbeaten record, but now that we're on a six-game winning streak, are we interested in hitting the streak again? I regretted losing the chance to break the streak at the last minute last season. Dick slapped his face and said.

As soon as these words came out, the players were a little dumbfounded, originally everyone wanted to hit the unbeaten record, but Dick said to hit the winning streak - but think about it, to hit the winning streak, you have to win at least five more games, in this way, the unbeaten record is broken, but it is more difficult, and the impact on Juventus will be more ferocious......

Immediately, the players questioned each other about the next few opponents, and before they could come up with a reason, Dick had already told them the answer.

"Siena, Cagliari, Treviso, Palermo, Lecce, Chievo...... That's our next six league opponents, how about another six wins in a row? Dick said with a laugh.

"No problem!" The players shouted one after another, these opponents, except for Siena and Cagliari, the other opponents have played in the first half, Inter Milan swept Treviso, Lecce and Chievo, only to draw with Palermo, if you are careful, there is basically no problem, as for Siena and Cagliari, one is in eleventh, the other is eighteenth, look at the rankings to know that their performance this season is average, to deal with them, it is not a particularly difficult thing.

"Then let's start training! Adjust the state to the best! The sprint of a great season is about to begin! Dick waved his hand vigorously.

Inter Milan's first game after the new year is away to Siena - for Siena, they will have to give their best, they are in a good position now, they are in a state of no hope of relegation and entering the European competition, as a small zebra and a club with a lot of Juventus loan players, they are happy to help Juventus stop Inter Milan in this game.

Generally speaking, after the winter break, it is a little difficult for the strong team to get back into form quickly, after all, they have just finished their vacation, and if the weak team can adjust their condition, they can achieve quite good results.

On January 8, Inter Milan travelled to Siena to take on Siena.

For this game, Dick clearly took it very seriously - he sent all the main players at hand, Cesar in the goal, the back four in the back, Mascherano, Sneijder, Perrotta and Figo in midfield, Adriano and Toney in the forwards.

In the days when there was no Champions Cup, Dick decided to cherish the opportunity to steal points in the league.

In this way, Siena is more pressing, although they have a good record this season, but they rely more on the whole, and there is no team, when Dick's main squad began to operate as a whole, they lost any advantage, although they were defending intensively from the beginning of the game, but Inter Milan did not lack any weapons to break the goal in suppressing the attack.

Toney's scurry, Adriano and Sneijder's long-range shots, Figo's cross, Perrotta's forward ...... Coupled with Inter Milan's complete control in the midfield, their back line began to press frequently, and Zanetti was also constantly pushing forward, and it was Zanetti's forward insertion that brought Inter Milan the first goal in the thirtieth minute!

In the thirtieth minute, Figo crossed from the side, Toni fought for the top in the penalty area, the opposing defender cleared not far away, the ball fell in front of Zanetti, the captain of Inter Milan did not have any thinking, and directly picked up his right foot to meet the falling ball and shot out, the ball flew directly over the heads of the players on both sides in the penalty area, and hung in the dead corner!

With the first ball, the rest of the game is easy to do.

Ten minutes into the second half, Adriano forced a break from outside the box, attracting most of the attention of the defense and then cleverly passing the ball into the box, and the follow-up Perrotta scored again with a low shot, 2-0.

In the 67th minute, Toney created a free kick in front, Figo and Sneijder stood in front of the ball at the same time, under the cover of Figo, Sneijder flew up, and the ball flew over the wall with a strong spin and flew straight into the corner of the goal, 3-0.

In the end, Inter Milan defeated Siena 3-0 away from home, which frustrated the little zebras' desire to stop them, and Inter Milan went 58 games unbeaten, officially tying the record set by AC Milan!

"There is only one game left before a new history!" The pro-Inter media exclaimed that they began to list Inter Milan's 58-game unbeaten streak, and in the last two rounds of the 0304 season they defeated Parma and Empoli respectively, and last season they were unbeaten in 38 games, which is 40 games, plus 18 unbeaten games since the beginning of this season, a full 58 games!

The last time they lost in the league was in the 32nd round of the 0304 season, when they lost 2-1 away to Lecce, and after that, Dick took over in the summer and Inter Milan began their unbeaten run!

"Inter Milan have a strong run in the league and what is missing now is a Champions Cup...... However, it is too early to say that they have created the era of big Inter Milan, after all, they are still three points behind Juventus this season, Juventus beat Palermo 2-1 away in this round, and continue to suppress Inter Milan, and in the Champions Cup knockout round, they also encountered a strong team like Real Madrid, if they can't continue to win the league championship and the Champions Cup, then this record is just a glorious record, and it does not show their dominance, you must know that AC Milan created an unbeaten period of time, They won two league titles and a Champions Cup...... After the end of their unbeaten run, they won another Champions Cup! It is precisely because of this result that their unbeaten record is full of gold! In this regard, Inter Milan have not proven themselves ......"

For such an evaluation, Dick thinks it is very fair, after all, although they are undefeated now, but they have encountered a Juventus with an extremely strong ability to grab points, compared with Juventus, Inter Milan is still lagging behind, which is also the reason why Dick proposed to create a winning streak, if he can create a winning streak, then the confrontation with Juventus is not far away, and at that time, Inter Milan can play against Juventus in the best condition!

Of course, in the next round against Cagliari, we must also win and set a new record!
