130. Incredible first round
After all the matches of the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, "Milan Sports Newspaper" used such a headline -
"Incredible! Incredible! Incredible! Incredible! ”
Four unbelievable matches in a row were enough to justify the surprise result of the first leg.
"Prior to the AC Milan encounter, Deportivo La Coruna knocked down Juventus, who were also Apennine giants, and it was not only Luque's two goals that were commendable, but also the Spaniard's insurmountable backline. Andrade's arrival gave Irueta the confidence to compete with any of the best attacking teams in Europe, but the score of the first leg of the quarter-finals shattered all the confidence he had built up! ”
“5:0! This seemingly unlikely score in a key knockout match such as the Champions League eight-in-four, but it was really displayed on the scoreboard of the San Siro, leaving everyone jaw-dropping, just like Deportivo coach Irueta said after the game, 'From 1:0 at the end of the first half to 5:0 at the end of the second half, I didn't even have time to figure out what happened in those 45 minutes, and things got out of hand. And the only thing that remains in my memory is that there was a lady in the sky above San Siro shouting a name repeatedly: Shevchenko! Actually, I think it's not just the feeling of the Spaniards, but also the feeling of all the viewers who have watched the game live......"
"Three impressive goals, and an incredible assist, this is Shevchenko's performance in the second half, and it couldn't be more perfect, no wonder Milan manager Chiang would say after the game, 'This is the best Sheva', not a compliment but a description according to the facts."
"All the big bookmakers in Europe adjusted AC Milan's odds to win the tournament at the same time, and now not only is there no team on the odds table that shares the top spot with AC Milan, but Milan is now far ahead of the rest of their rivals. However, Deportivo has quickly slipped to the bottom of the odds charts, as few people in Europe would now think that Deportivo would be able to turn the tables on Riazo. ”
"We spoke to a Deportivo supporter outside the San Siro and he told us pessimistically, 'Three goals will disappoint him, four goals will make him desperate, five goals will ...... He needs a week to kill this nightmare'. ”
Miss Anne read the newspaper seriously, and from time to time glanced at Jiang Qi, who was sitting on the sofa seriously dealing with the honey cake, and finally threw the newspaper away after reading the entire comment on AC Milan's game, and then walked to Lao Jiang and squatted down to look him up and down with a scrutinizing gaze.
"Hey! I said, Mr. Coach, why can't I find the slightest pride or pride in your face? ”
"Yes, there were a lot of them yesterday, but I forgot them all after I slept and I could pretend to show you if you wanted to see them, but I had to pay for them."
The eldest lady was speechless, and simply turned around and walked away.
Mr. Coach, who missed breakfast because he was sleeping, packed a plate of honey cake and sent it to his stomach, and then picked up the "Milan Sports Newspaper" that Anne had discarded on the sofa and flipped through it.
Recuperating from the spirit of this game, he began to be in the mood to care about the scores of other games, but after seeing the four consecutive "incredible" titles, someone watched it more interestingly.
"Even though it's an away game, to share the top spot with AC Milan at the top of the odds to win the title, I'm sure no one would think Monaco could cause Arsenal much trouble and trouble, but in the end, we were all wrong."
"It's not just the attacking trident of Gyuli, Roten and Morientes that erects a barrier for the Gunners, but even the two Monaco full-backs can't help but be amazed. It suddenly became clear that the Frenchman named Patrice Evra was no worse than Ashley Cole, and it was his two crosses that allowed Morientes to get past Lehmann twice in seven minutes. ”
"No one would have thought that the unscrupulous Gunners in the Premier League would be so embarrassed when they arrived at the Louis II Stadium, they were at the bottom of almost the whole game, and if it wasn't for Lehmann's excellent performance in this game, the final score would probably be as suspenseful as AC Milan and Deportivo La Coruna, and even the rare sight of Mr. Professor standing on the sidelines roaring angrily."
"Of course, the professor also needs to thank another member of the team, Seedorf, who helped Wenger to score a valuable away goal with his long-range shot before the end, and they have plenty of chances to turn the tables back when they return to Highbury, hopefully their sluggish form in France is just a surprise, and we hope that the semi-finals will see the Gunners and Milan in the strongest showdown of the season!"
Rubbing his chicken-coop-like hair, Jiang Qi, who had finished reading this comment, grabbed the nearest phone.
"Is there a multi-camera footage of the Arsenal and Monaco matches? Hmm, I need one, please get it to my office as soon as possible, that's all, thank you! ”
Next, the third incredible......
"To be fair, Real Madrid's 1-1 draw at home to Lyon was not a surprise, and while Queiroz brought David Beckham with him, leaving the Galacticos stockpiled a number of formidable attackers in midfield, but Cambiaso's tinkering alone will not make Real Madrid's backline reassuring."
"The Lyonnais are smart, they shrink the space and leave most of the midfield to Real Madrid's players to pass the ball, and then rely on the numerical advantage to deal with the opponent, and Elber is enough to threaten the opponent's vulnerable defence at all times, so the final score of 1:1 was disappointing for the Meilingers, but it was undeniably a fair enough score."
"Next week's away game is undoubtedly a tough one for Queiroz, at least the bookmakers' odds don't favour him......"
This incredibleness did not surprise Jiang Qi too much, and in the years that the Galaxy Battleship gradually fell silent, Lyon, who completely dominated the French Ligue 1, completely became the bitter master of Real Madrid.
'Of course, what was more surprising than the 5-0 win over Deportivo La Coruna was Chelsea's loss at Stamford Bridge.
'After Chelsea's first leg at home to Porto, all commentators described Porto's victory as a 'tactical victory', with Porto's defensive system not only effectively containing Chelsea's heavily invested attackers, but also the holes in the Blues' defence that were clearly spotted by Mr Jose Mourinho, with two goals telling the story.
"Roman Abramovich should be the most disappointed person after this game, Chelsea in the Premier League has done their best, but their opponent is Arsenal who are too strong to look at directly, the Gunners with a terrible stable form are still unbeaten this season, and after the Champions League schedule came out, Chelsea was favored by many people to be able to go all the way to Schalke Stadium, but they didn't expect the first opponent to be so difficult after tearing off their coats."
