It was an eye-catching battle that ended with no winner and no defeat, with the final score 2-2 and the first leg to a draw.

Such a draw is a very good situation for Inter Milan, but for Chelsea, it is not a very easy thing to do, and in the post-match press conference, Dick enthusiastically thanked his players for bringing back an excellent result from the away game, with such an advantage, Dick firmly believes that his team will be able to win at home and finally enter the last four!

He praised his team so much, Mourinho naturally knew what Dick was playing, the advantage of two goals away was not so big, not to mention that it was only a draw, but in the eyes of many people, such a result is already a very good situation......

Originally, even if public opinion was unfavorable to Chelsea, Mourinho could use his influence to keep the team from being affected by this, but at such a critical moment, there was a problem within them.

Abou expressed his dissatisfaction with Mourinho's choice to be conservative in this game when he was leading in this game, although Mourinho strongly said that there was no problem with his approach, but when the pressure from the top began to favor Mourinho's dissatisfaction, it also affected the contradictions in the dressing room to a large extent.

Even if Mourinho has almost run the entire Chelsea dressing room into a monolith in the past two years, it is impossible for everyone to follow Chelsea's lead, after all, Mourinho is only the head coach, and the players are paid by the club, to a certain extent, the relationship between the manager and the players is not a relationship between superiors and subordinates, but a colleague relationship......

Even if the manager has the right to manage the players, when the higher management begins to show dissatisfaction with the manager, the players have the ability to fight against the manager, which has always been the case, even if Mourinho, in this situation, it is difficult for him to completely control the dressing room again.

In such a situation, it has become very difficult for Mourinho to make the public opinion within the team become confident, not to mention that he does not have much time, only a week.

In the weekend league, the high-spirited Inter Milan defeated Regina who was fighting for relegation 2-0 away despite sending a large number of substitutes in this game, while Chelsea encountered a strong rival Tottenham Hotspur in the league, Mourinho sent a large number of main players in the game, and finally relied on Carvalho's goal to barely beat the opponent 1-0, after this game, Mourinho barely controlled the team's morale - which is one of the reasons why he preferred to risk the main players to play most of the time, If there is a problem in the league at this time, then the impact will be even greater, and only by continuing to win in the league can the team be in the best shape for the next game!

Through various ways and internal problems of the opponent, Dick finally achieved an absolute advantage in the "momentum" against Chelsea before his home game, public opinion, strength, form, physical fitness ...... Inter Milan has an advantage, and under such an advantage, although it cannot be said that it will be able to win absolutely, it has given Inter Milan the greatest possible hope of victory!

Public opinion, everyone believes that Inter Milan now has a great advantage; Strength and reality, Inter Milan only needs to win a 0-0 game at home to qualify, and from the first leg of the game, as long as one side defends with all its might, then it is very difficult for the opponent to score; Strength, the strength of the two sides is comparable, but Inter Milan is not affected by injuries now, while Chelsea is full of injuries; Form, Dick has been consciously adapting his players to be better in midweek since a long time ago, and Chelsea can't do that because they still have a lot to do in the league; Physically, Inter Milan's main players had a comfortable week of rest at the weekend, while Chelsea's main players played with Tottenham......

These are not the most important factors in determining the outcome of the victory, but they are very crucial factors, and after gaining the upper hand in these factors, Dick believes that as long as he is not unlucky enough to be a certain point of loss, he will definitely be able to beat this big trouble and take a solid step in the Champions Cup!

This season, Inter Milan has not received any favor in the schedule, but this season is also the time when the European giants themselves begin to gradually have problems.

On Tuesday evening, April 11, at half past eight o'clock in the evening of Meazza Stadium, Inter Milan welcomed Chelsea!

Jose Mourinho tweaked the starting line-up for this game, with Essien being put on the right-back position to strengthen the defence, while Mikel appeared in midfield to form a midfield with Ballack, Frank Lampard and Claude Makelele, and in the attack, Ukrainian nuclear warhead Shepchenko appeared in the starting line-up to partner Drogba, and Adriano appeared on the bench.

Dick did not make much changes to the starters, goalkeeper Cesar, defenders McConn, Zanetti, Cannavaro, Materazzi, the only change appeared in the midfield, Yaya Toure and Figo did not play in this game, and Mascherano and Sneijder formed the midfield Perrotta and Stankovic, and the forward line is still a combination of Ibrahimovic and Morientes.

The two sides were close from the start, with Inter Milan slightly more defensive, while Chelsea wanted to play the game a little quicker from the start, at least they didn't want it to end 0-0.

Inter Milan actually didn't want to end this game 0-0, bias defense is just a strategy in this game, not something that must be done, in the final analysis, Dick does not expect to be able to make Chelsea not score a goal in the whole game, this is unrealistic and unscientific, the main reason is that now Mourinho although he barely controls the team's emotions, but at this time the mentality of the whole Chelsea team is radical, Mourinho's supporters want to restore the team's confidence in Mourinho through victory as soon as possible, and those who have doubts about Mourinho are suspicious, and it is not too easy for such a team to work together.

After a difficult back-and-forth tug-of-war, Inter Milan took the lead in the 30th minute, Sneijder won the ball in the middle and made a beautiful long pass to the right, Ibrahimovic received the ball and forced a breakthrough, broke through Ashley Cole's defense and passed the ball into the box, Toni fell to the ground before Carvalho and Terry blocked, and broke Cech's ten fingers!

As the cheers and shouts of the Inter fans rang out in the stands, Dick stood up and slapped the inside of the stadium.

Despite the high level of Inter Milan's players, there were also some problems in Chelsea's defence, and there were some problems with the coordination between Carvalho and John Terry, so that no one could stop Toney's shot - it was clear that Carvalho was a descendant of Mourinho and Terry ...... But it was one of the factors that made Mourinho sack a year later, and it was normal for the combination of these two to have some problems.

"It's boring, such a brilliant opponent, but there is a problem inside...... Dick thought as if he had a bargain.

In fact, if it weren't for the problems of several opponents who can pose the biggest threat to Inter Milan in this season's Champions Cup, Dick would not be too sure that he would be able to defend the title successfully - because this aspect can be said to be where UEFA cannot concede, the Champions League has not been successfully defended since the restructuring, and the defending champions will inevitably encounter more difficulties in the next games, although they will not control the outcome of the game seriously, but in the case of almost close strength, The difficulty of the schedule will determine the probability of winning the championship to a large extent, just like Brazil in '02, no matter how good they played, if they didn't just meet England and a former world champion in the knockout round, Brazil would probably be in a bad situation.

This season's experience for Inter Milan was obvious, with Valencia in the first round and Chelsea in the second, and Dick had the confidence to win the defending title, with a lot of external favourable circumstances.

However, Chelsea had excellent quality, and although they were underdogs in the first half and conceded a goal, they kept Inter Milan's attack under control and did not allow Inter to extend their lead, and they stubbornly equalised shortly after the start of the second half!

Essien crossed from the right, Drogba grabbed a shot in the penalty area and was saved by Cesar, and substitute Adriano shot into the net in front of the goal! Jose Mourinho replaced Mikel with Adriano at half-time, and his risky stacking of attacking players has finally paid off!

Unfortunately, this equaliser goal was not enough to allow Chelsea to qualify, and in the following time they could only risk attacking, and the gap in the back began to get bigger and bigger, Dick adjusted his tactics in time, Inter Milan began to play a defensive counterattack, and in the 83rd minute, Ibrahimovic shared the ball, Perrotta inserted on the side of the side directly and vigorously volleyed into the near corner at a small angle, the ball flew quickly from Cech into the corner, Inter Milan took the lead again!

This goal was also the last goal in this game, relying on such a goal, Inter Milan defeated Chelsea with an aggregate score of 4-3 and entered the semi-finals of the Champions Cup!

When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, Dick breathed a sigh of relief - finally won, you must know that he was also under a lot of pressure before the end of the game, although Chelsea was chaotic internally, they also stubbornly attacked until the last minute, if one is not good, it is very likely that the opponent will equalize the score and drag it into extra time - in all kinds of chaotic situations, Inter Milan can still be forced to this position, Chelsea is worthy of being managed by Mourinho for three years!

Dick felt that he owed Abu a debt of gratitude, and it was because of him that the Iron Legion had all sorts of problems that could be exploited, but Dick didn't feel that it was wrong to do so—he didn't let Abu have to......

Tidying up his clothes, Dick walked over to Mourinho.

Despite the defeat, Mourinho kept his head high, and during his three years at Chelsea, his side were competitive in the Champions League, but they were always able to meet the most difficult schedules......

"Sometimes, something is lost before it is found." Dick said to Mourinho without a clue, looking at Mourinho who was a little puzzled, he didn't explain, because he knew that Mourinho would always understand the meaning of this sentence in the future.

It wasn't until a few years later, when Jose Mourinho returned to Chelsea as a savior, that he really understood what it meant.
