138. No one can take away victory
Now that Liverpool and Inter Milan are close to the Champions League last-16 knockout round, many media reporters are hoping to interview the players and managers of both sides to see what is on their minds at this time.
The official website of Inter Milan Club also knows that there are now a lot of fans who want to know some of the situation in the Inter Milan team at this time, and at this time, the official website of Inter Milan meets the wishes of the fans, and they interviewed the stars of Inter Milan.
It's no secret how horrible Liverpool's home stadium is at Anfield, and Inter Milan's official website asked Cruise about it.
Cruise said in an interview: "Liverpool are in very bad form at the moment, they have some problems in the team, which everyone knows, and now everyone thinks that we Inter Milan will be out of the road. ”
'But the Liverpudlians aren't that easy to play against, and Anfield will be a big weight for them!' Speaking to the club's official website, Crews said: "The atmosphere at Anfield is unimaginable, the Reds have fantastic players, but we're not bad either! ”
At this time, Inter Milan's official website asked: "The home atmosphere is important, but the record is also a side that both sides must not ignore, the Reds have reached the final twice in the past three years, and Inter Milan has not reached the quarterfinals in the past two years." ”
"That's the way it is in the Champions League, there will be a lot of favourites, but there will also be teams like Liverpool who have reached the final twice in three years, and there must be a reason for that!" Cruise continued, "But the current Liverpool team is not the same Liverpool team as it was a few years ago, and I think we can qualify for the next round if we play at Inter Milan. Now that we're prepared, we're not going to let the old thing happen again. ”
Based on the current form of both teams, the Nerazzurri are more likely to come out on the road, but Cruz has not forgotten the fact that they were eliminated by Valencia last season.
In the quarterfinals of the 2006-2007 season, Inter drew 2-2 at home to Valencia in the first leg (Valencia data), and in the second leg, they were drawn 0-0 by their opponents away from home, and were eliminated because of the lack of away goals.
"We didn't play the best two games against Valencia last year, so we got two draws and were eliminated," Argentine striker Cruz said in an interview with Inter's official website, "but now we understand as a team that if we want to win, we have to keep trying to win, and that's the only way." ”
'I would like to be able to start on Tuesday night, but as usual, it will depend on Mancini's selection,' Cruz said, 'and as a team we are all ready to play at any time. ”
Speaking about the match, Cruz said: "We won't miss another opportunity like this. Liverpool have a lot of great players, but we're on the same level. And we still have the advantage because the second round will go back to Milan. ”
It is not difficult to see Cruise's confidence from the words, which makes Inter Milan fans very satisfied, and now Inter Milan wants such confidence, they are the most haode team, and this Champions League title must be theirs.
Inter Milan manager Roberto Mancini also gave an interview to Inter Milan's official website, and he said to reporters: "Liverpool have always been a very strong team, and they have proved with their performances that they are a team that is very good at the big cup competition. We can't afford to take this team lightly, we have to show our quality and I firmly believe that the victory is ours. ”
Of course, Inter Milan's official website also asked about Crespo, Mancini said: "It is very good for a player to have such a strong desire to play, there is no contradiction between me and him, he is our most important link, he will not leave Inter Milan, we Inter Milan need him." ”
However, even if Mancini says so, not too many people will want to believe it, and it is now largely known that Crespo's days at Inter Milan are numbered.
After being interviewed on Inter Milan's official website, the entire Inter Milan team immediately flew to Liverpool.
Just as Inter Milan flew to Liverpool, Liverpool's players were also being interviewed by the media.
In the course of the interview, the 23-year-old admitted that he can't wait for the big game to kick off, and the golden boy is confident that Liverpool's unique home atmosphere will give the home side a huge advantage in their quest for a sixth Champions League trophy.
'I've watched countless Liverpool Champions League games on TV and it will definitely be such a special night against Inter. "I've always dreamed of playing like this, and I certainly don't want to miss it. The Champions Cup is a major tournament and Liverpool are keen to lift their sixth Champions League trophy and continue the club's illustrious history. ”
Serie A leaders Inter Milan will undoubtedly be Liverpool's next signing, but the Golden Boy believes the Reds have a unique advantage in the first leg – Anfield's famed European home atmosphere will help them get ahead of the pack in the first leg.
"Anfield is a unique course. The moment you step onto the pitch, you hear the fans chanting 'You'll never walk alone', and it's a wonderful feeling. You'll be motivated when you step on the course, and you'll be able to run all day. Torres continued, "I believe Liverpool's home atmosphere will give us a huge advantage against Inter. ”
Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard also spoke to reporters before the game, saying: "Inter Milan may be in good form now, but we Liverpool are not vegetarians. And it's Anfield, so there's no reason for us to lose, we're going to win this game. We don't have any problems with the team at the moment, the victory must be ours. ”
However, the team's vice-captain Jamie 61 Carragher seemed to deliberately tear down Gerrard's stage, he said in an interview with media reporters: "Now the team's results are up and down, we do have some problems in the team, we are not good enough now, really not good enough." But I hope we can get the win in this game. ”
As soon as Jamie 61 Carragher's remarks came out, it immediately caused an uproar, which made Liverpool fans anxious, they didn't know what Jamie 61 Carragher was doing, could it be that Jamie 61 Carragher became someone else's undercover agent like Crespo?
Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher has bluntly stated in media interviews that the team is "not good enough", and afterwards he quickly explained his intentions to boss Rafael Benitez.
With the Reds heading into their Champions League knockout tie with Inter Milan in midweek, when Carragher celebrates his 99th European game for the club, he really shouldn't have said that.
How can such a thing be said at such an important time now? This made the Liverpudlian nervous, but at this point, Benitez stepped up to speak for Jamie 61 Carragher.
Speaking to reporters, Benitez said, "Jamie came to me and asked if I saw the newspaper headlines. I was surprised at the time. I didn't read the newspaper, so he explained to me, and he said he meant something positive. I think it's okay, I know his character and the team knows him. Jamie said we weren't good enough, we've talked about it. He found me as soon as he came this morning and explained to me the intention of his words. What I'm saying is that everybody knows we're very disappointed and the team has to try to improve and of course we were able to do that. ”
Benitez added: "The reality that we are out of the other cup competitions cannot be changed, but we still have the Champions Cup, we have to fight for the top four in the league, we still have the League Cup. Our goal remains clear and we will fight for it. Now we have to try to win the next game and not distract ourselves from other issues around the club. Was it the most difficult moment of my coaching career? I don't know, but if we beat Inter Milan and progress to the quarter-finals, then the most difficult moment will become the most comfortable one. We have to win now and that's the only way we can change the status quo. ”
Although Benitez's words did not completely reassure Liverpool fans, everyone was no longer panicked, and they thought that Benitez was right, Liverpool still have a lot of honors to pursue this season, and they Liverpool will definitely succeed this season.
And at this time, the current England national team manager Fabio Capello also stood up to speak for Liverpool.
Capello said: 'Since the news broke that the manager's position may not be secured, there have been some problems within the Liverpool squad and their level has not been fully reflected in the game. In order to become a serious contender for the Premier League title, Liverpool FC has invested heavily this season. However, they are currently far behind the top teams in the standings, and manager Rafael Benitez has also been criticised by the outside world. ”
After a pause, Capello continued: "But Liverpool at Anfield have always been a formidable team, and Rafael Benitez's side are well organised and they know how to break down their opponents. Their clash with Inter Milan will be a performance of passionate football in a game that will be of great interest. ”
At this time, Liverpool's Qiu Ze also gave an interview to media reporters, and they said this: "Now the outside world is spreading that we have problems within Liverpool. But I would say that we didn't have any problems, you were the ones who misinterpreted Jamie's words, and now we're fine and united. ”
Qiu Ze also said: "We have been preparing for the game against Inter Milan for a long time. We are well prepared and although Inter Milan are yet to lose in Serie A, we ask them not to forget that this game will be played at Anfield. The victory of this game is decided by Liverpool, and no one can take it away. ”
