639 Nightmare at Highbury Field!

readx;

After Inter Milan passed the AC Milan hurdle, there was no suspense in their league title this season. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

However, in the next day's game, Juventus almost pushed Inter Milan directly to the throne with a draw!

With Juventus' draw again, Inter's lead has been extended to 12 points, leaving only four league games remaining.

Even if Inter Milan lose all four of their last four games and Juventus win, the two teams will be evenly scored. But considering that the two teams have met twice in the league, Inter Milan have the advantage of one win and one draw, then they are still the champions!

Therefore, after the 34th round, the Inter Milan team has actually won the championship four rounds in advance!

In the next round of home games, they will be able to lift the trophy!

The suspense of the championship has completely ended, and the next thing people pay attention to is the shooter battle between Chen Xi and Tony.

In this round of Milan derby, Chen Xi's brave brace increased his goal tally to 29.

Although Toney also scored a goal in this round and broke through the 30-goal mark, his lead was narrowed to one!

To use an uncivilized analogy, Chen Xi can already smell Tony's chrysanthemum!

There is no doubt that all the pressure has been transferred to Tony!

This late-blooming Italian local shooter is no longer just competing for the top scorer with Chen Xi on behalf of himself at this time. Rather, it represents all the native shooters!

As the first homegrown goalscorer in more than 40 years to break the 30 mark in a single season in the league, Tony is obviously a heavy blow to the Italian scorer if he can't get the top scorer!

Of course, if it weren't for Chen Xi's three-month ban, Tony might have lost the opportunity to compete for the top scorer. However, since God gave him this opportunity, he naturally would not give up easily!

Tony made his determination clear in an interview with the media: "Yes, I know Edison has caught up. It is undoubtedly very difficult to compete with him for the top scorer. But I persevered until this time, and naturally I couldn't give up. And, I have my strengths as well. We only have four league games left in the season and I can give it my all. Unlike Inter Milan, they still have the Champions League semi-finals and Coppa Italia final to play. This inevitably involved Edison's energy. This is also my chance......"

In response to Tony's statement, Chen Xi also responded: "Tony is an excellent shooter. His performances this season have been nothing short of perfect. I think whether or not he gets the top scorer in the end should be respected. Of course, I'm not going to slow down in the last four rounds of the league. Too tight a schedule? I don't think that's a problem, but I've been resting for three months, and the last thing I need now is energy! ”

The battle declaration of the two major scorers also made fans look forward to the last four rounds of the game, which had not had much suspense!

As for the media, it is like a chicken blood, looking forward to a passionate battle for the shooter king!

…… Ahead of the next round of the league, the Italian media turned their attention to the Champions League semi-final in midweek. Because the Milan duo will play one after the other!

On the 19th, the battle between Milan and Barcelona was the first to start at San Siro!

Perhaps because of the consumption of too much in the Milan game at the weekend, the AC Milan team playing at home in this game was not in good shape.

In the end, the Barcelona team won away from home thanks to a key goal from Ronaldo!

This result is nothing short of a disaster for AC Milan!

The Italian media also began to condemn Carlo Ancelotti's practice of playing the main team in the Milan derby too much, which led to the poor performance of AC Milan in the more crucial Champions League semi-finals!

After the game, Ancelotti could only express helplessness. The team will give it their all at the Camp Nou in the second leg. Fight for victory and reach the finals!

After the defeat of AC Milan, people could not help but start to worry about the next day's Inter Milan match.

After all, in the Milan derby four days ago, the Inter Milan team also played with its main force!

Of course, the advantage of Inter Milan over AC Milan is that they play a day later than AC Milan, which means that they have an extra day of rest.

However, Inter Milan spent the rest of the day in London. Because their first leg was away!

The team came to Chen Xi's territory, and Chen Xi naturally had to be a guest in the east.

However, Chen Xi and his teammates were very measured, and they arranged the activities they went out after the game, not before the game.

However, Chen Xi himself, taking the opportunity to go to London a day earlier, met with Eva and warmed up.

Eva and Yi, who tasted the forbidden fruit for the first time, were provoked by Chen Xi. Fortunately, Eva is still more subtle in this regard. Otherwise, if Chen Xi is squeezed dry, the next day's game will not be good.

…… Chen Xi is also very familiar with Arsenal's Highbury Stadium.

When he played in the Premier League, and especially at Tottenham, he was definitely the least popular person in this stadium!

Because he's a veritable arsenal nemesis!

After getting to know Chen Xi, he also knew that this would be Arsenal's last season at Highbury, and they will move into the new Emirates Stadium next season.

Then, the glory that Chen Xi once created here may also be sealed in the memory of fans like this stadium.

Of course, this semi-final away game may also be Chen Xi's last chance to face the Gunners Arsenal in Highbury.

…… Although this game is Arsenal's home stadium, considering that Tottenham Hotspur, who are also in north London, also have a large number of loyal fans of Chen Xi. One can't help but wonder if there will be a large number of Tottenham fans in the stands at Highbury Stadium tomorrow to cheer for Chen Xi, thus depriving Arsenal of their home advantage?

A television station made a special trip to interview some Tottenham fans on the streets of north London. After investigation, it was found that three out of ten fans said that if they could buy tickets, they would not mind going to Highbury to cheer for Inter Milan!

Their reason is simple, Arsenal is their eternal enemy, and the enemy of their enemy is their friend!

What's more, Inter Milan also has Edison, the eternal friend of Tottenham fans!

Yes, although Chen Xi is only 21 years old, there are already many anxious Tottenham fans who call Chen Xi the greatest star in Tottenham history.

…… April 20 night, 20:45!

The first leg of Arsenal and Inter Milan's Champions League semi-finals has officially kicked off in Highbury!

In this game, the home team Arsenal lined up a four-five-one formation.

The formation seems to be conservative, but after seeing the configuration of the midfield, you will find that this lineup is actually very attacking.

Up front is Thierry Henry, the king of Highbury, while in midfield are Belarusian Magician Hleb, Swede Ljungberg, Spanish young talent Cesc Fabregas, Frenchman Pires and Brazilian veteran Gilberto Silva.

Of the five midfield players, only Gilberto Silva is a purely defensive player.

Cesc Fabregas may claim to be the successor to Patrick Vieira, but in fact it is his playmaking and attacking strength that he is strong in.

For Arsenal, the absence of their left wing-back, Ashley Cole, through injury, is clearly a big blow for them.

For this, midfielder Flamini had to make a cameo in this position.

Inter Milan, even after a red-hot Milan derby at the weekend. But this time, Mourinho still played with all the main forces.

Obviously, Mourinho wants to be able to establish enough of an advantage in Highbury!

…… At the beginning of the game, Arsenal's signature ground coordination at home was like a drop of mercury into Inter Milan's half.

Even if Mourinho has three muscular men in midfield, Essien, Stankovic and Van Bommel.

However, in the face of Arsenal's skilful ground coordination, Inter Milan was still a little difficult to handle.

Just five minutes into the game, Henry received a pass at the edge of the penalty area, shook off the gap and shot straight away!

Fortunately, Cesar reacted quickly and rejected the ball with a flying pounce!

Three minutes later, Arsenal played again at the edge of the penalty area, and Thierry Henry, who retreated to receive the ball, made a turret for Cesc Fabregas, who was inserted behind, and the Spaniard met the ball with a furious shot!

It was Cesar again, and he reached out in time to scoop the ball out of the bottom line.

As soon as the opening game was played, the Arsenal team played so many waves of threatening attacks.

Chen Xi and his teammates in the front court of Inter Milan obviously held their breath.

Finally, in the twelfth minute, Inter Milan also made their own counterattack.

Figo faced Flamini, who was a cameo at left-back, easily shook off the gap and passed the ball to the penalty spot!

Adriano retreated and fired a sideways shot!

The power of this shot was very strong, but unfortunately the angle was right and was blocked by the German goalkeeper Lehmann with his body!

After discovering Flamini's discomfort at left-back, Inter Milan also consciously focused on Figo's right side.

Even, even Chen Xi will switch to the right side from time to time to bully the French.

In fact, Flamini has performed very well in the central midfield position this season. It's just that left-back is really not a position he's good at.

What's more, he is facing top wing players in world football like Figo and Chen Xi. Even, even Zanetti, who was inserted in the back, was able to break through in front of him!

Finally, in the twenty-eighth minute of the game, Inter Milan once again used the right side to tear apart the Arsenal defense and took the lead!

Figo won the ball on the right and after catching Flamini's attention with Zanetti on the back of the pitch, he came straight to the spot with a kick-up cross!

This time, Chen Xi, as a left winger, unexpectedly came to the front before Adriano!

Arsenal's centre-back duo of Toure and Sendros clearly didn't expect that.

Therefore, Chen Xi almost completed a head-shaking attack without being defended!

“egooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal,egoal,égolégolégol,égolégolégol,égolégolégol!!! Edison! Edison! Edison!!! Edison showed great talent as a center forward. He was the first to outflank the front post and headed Figo's cross into the Arsenal goal! 1-0, Inter Milan took the lead! The Italian commentator Karachi also shouted excitedly.

Most of the stands at Highbury Field were also silent.

They are all too familiar with the guy who scored the goal.

It was this guy who led Arsenal's local rivals Tottenham Hotspur to turn around the decline in the north London derby. Again and again it has stabbed the hearts of Arsenal fans.

Even after going to Liverpool, Chen Xi is still very energetic every time he plays Arsenal.

It can be said that Chen Xi is simply a nightmare in Highbury!

Compared with the silence of the Arsenal fans, the Inter Milan fans who came with the team and some Tottenham fans who entered the stadium erupted in huge cheers!

On the sidelines!

Mourinho also waved his hand excitedly.

The previous threatening attacks by the Arsenal team also made him a little worried. Now after this goal, he is also a little relieved.

On the field!

After scoring the goal, Chen Xi seems to have returned to the state he was in when he played in the Premier League. He rushed straight to the North Stand at Highbury. A silent gesture was made at those Arsenal fans in the stands!

Yes, when he was at Tottenham, Chen Xi did no less such thing!

The group of Arsenal fans in the stands also responded with huge boos after being stunned for a moment.

Seeing the performance of this group of fans, Chen Xi was also very satisfied.

…… The game continued.

The backward Arsenal team also launched a tidal counterattack.

Arsenal's wave after wave of attacks has left Inter's backline tired.

Finally, before the end of the first half, the Arsenal team also completed the fatal blow!

It was a counter-attacking opportunity, and the Swede Ljungberg won the ball and told him to advance along the right side of the middle.

After taking to the edge of the box, he slowed down a little and immediately tucked the ball into the box after seeing Hleb cut in next to him!

After Hleb caught up with the ball, it was a rare fact that he didn't stick to the ball, but instead passed it back to the penalty spot before Zambrotta could get past the wind.

Henry was in that position, and he shot straight at the ball!

However, Cesar once again showed his incredible reflexes and made a flying pounce to keep the ball out.

It's just that the ball bounced in front of Henry again, and as a world-class shooter, Henry's reaction speed was also very fast, and he directly followed up with a clever shot with his left foot, sending the ball to the bottom right corner of the goal!

No matter how quick Cesar was to react, he struggled to make a second save in the face of Henry's two shots in quick succession.

And Inter Milan's defenders didn't have time to make a block.

The ball bounced almost into the snare on the inside of the post!

“gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal!!! Henry! Henry! Henry!!! The King of Highbury stepped up once again when Highbury was in trouble! His goal helped Arsenal equalise just before half-time!! "This time it was the turn of the commentator on the English side to get excited!

The Arsenal fans in the stands also cheered for their king with the highest decibels!

After the goal, Henry rushed to the side of the stands and showed his signature surname, which was later used as a statue of the kneeling celebration!

Arsene Wenger on the sidelines also waved his fist excitedly!

Reaching the semi-finals this time is the closest the professor has come to winning the Champions League, and he can't be calm!

In the end, Arsenal and Inter Milan entered the dressing room with a 1-1 draw in the first half.

…… The 1-1 scoreline away from home was clearly not unacceptable for Inter Milan.

Therefore, Mourinho also praised the performance of the players in the first half at half-time.

At the same time, he also made some tactical adjustments to the situation of the Arsenal team in the first half.

The fifteen minutes of the intermission passed quickly.

In the second half, when returning to the stadium, Chen Xi, who provoked the Arsenal fans in the first half, inevitably ushered in bursts of boos from the Arsenal fans.

The fans are like this, at this time, Chen Xi is Arsenal's opponent, and the Gunners fans will give him boos without hesitation. When Chen Xi put on the Three Lions shirt, most of them would not hesitate to cheer for Chen Xi's goal!

After kick-off in the second half, Inter Milan continued to attack on the right flank.

Due to the lack of personnel at the back, Wenger was unable to make substitutions even if he found that Flamini was not playing well in this position. He could only ask the other players to strengthen their defense on the left side.

So, when Figo took the ball on the right side again and was about to break through, he found himself surrounded by two or three players.

At this time, Figo did not continue to break through, but directly raised his right foot...... Shifted the ball to the left!

Yes, Chen Xi has already plugged in at high speed on the left road. And because Arsenal's defense is left-leaning, their right side, which is Inter's left, looks a bit empty.

The ball crossed a pitch and was pulled to the feet of Chen Xi on the left.

Chen Xi rushed into the penalty area from the left side!

Facing the Ivorian Kolo Toure who came over to make up for the defense, Chen Xi took the ball sideways with his right foot, as if he was going to cut inside and shoot!

However, after attracting Toure's center of gravity, Chen Xi immediately turned his ankle.

The ball was like glue stuck to Chen Xi's feet, and he wiped it to the bottom line.

Without waiting for Toure to react, Chen Xi's left foot immediately met the ball with an outside instep volley!

Perhaps in pursuit of the nearest distance, Chen Xi's volley hit the near corner directly.

Lehmann in front of the goal was obviously a little unprepared for Chen Xi's pass, so he didn't have time to seal the near corner. By the time he tried to save again, it was obviously too late!

The ball whizzed straight into the net from the gap between Lehmann and the near post!

“egooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal,egoal,égolégolégol,égolégolégol,égolégolégol!!! Edison! Edison! Edison!!! Edison again!! This was Edison's second goal of the game! He helped Inter Milan to take the lead away from home again! Returning to England again, facing Arsenal, an old rival, Chen Xi's state is too good to be true! At this time, the second half has just begun! Chen Xi's goal obviously caught the Arsenal team off guard! Karachi's roar rang out again.

At the same time, the cheers of the Inter Milan fans in the stands and some Tottenham Hotspur fans who came to Chen Xi once again resounded throughout Highbury!

On the sidelines!

Mourinho waved his fist excitedly again!

A direct cooperation between Chen Xi and Figo, the two wide players, just now, is exactly the tactic he mentioned at halftime.

Given Inter's high success rate on the right flank in the first half, Arsene Wenger will certainly make adjustments to that at half-time.

If Arsenal strengthen their defence on the left, there will naturally be some gaps in the middle and on the right.

Figo, as a wide player with strong playmaking skills, is perfectly capable of getting the ball over those gaps after attracting the defence.

No, they did that with the first threatening attack at the start of the second half, and they converted chances into goals!

Except, of course, this cooperation. Chen Xi's magician-like breakthrough is also the key point of this goal!

On the field!

After scoring the goal, Chen Xi rushed directly to the stands of fans wearing the old Tottenham No. 7 jersey this time!

Yes, the name behind the jerseys worn by these fans is still Chen Xi's English name Edison.

It is their arrival that gives Inter Milan supporters the strength to compete with the home fans!

This time, Chen Xi rushed directly to the billboard, and then opened his arms to make himself in a big zigzag shape, and fell directly to the group of fans!

For Chen Xi's crazy way of celebrating, that group of Tottenham fans is obviously no stranger.

In fact, Chen Xi's celebration reminded them of Tottenham Hotspur's No. 7 in the Premier League as the king of White Hart Lane!

Therefore, these fans also responded enthusiastically.

Chen Xi only felt all kinds of cheers ringing in his ears.

…… Until Chen Xi was pulled out by his teammates and returned to the stadium, he could still hear this group of adorable Tottenham fans singing the original version of Edison's song!

This made Chen Xi can't help but have a sour nose, and he was very reluctant to restrain his tears.

As soon as the second half started, Inter Milan scored another goal, and the Arsenal players were obviously very depressed. So they launched wave after wave of onslaught.

Mourinho, on the sidelines, was very straightforward in signaling the players to shrink their formation...... Fight back on defense!

Arsenal's attack is indeed spectacular, but when Jose Mourinho's side want to defend at full strength, it will be difficult for them to tear down Inter's defence.

Wenger, who has been unable to attack for a long time, can only frequently deploy troops.

Van Persie and Bergkamp, two attackers from the Netherlands, were deployed one after another.

Among them, the young Dutch winger Robin van Persie once cut inside on the right and fired a high-quality shot from a tight angle.

It's a pity that Cesar saved the ball again bravely!

Since then, Thierry Henry, Bergkamp and Cesc Fabregas have all had some good chances.

But these opportunities were either squandered by themselves or bravely resolved by Cesar.

As the minutes ticked by, the Arsenal team was getting more and more anxious.

Seeing that the team's counterattack had no effect, Mourinho simply replaced Figo with Cambiasso and continued to strengthen the defense.

Inter Milan, who have four defensive midfielders, form a strong protective shield at the edge of the penalty area and on the wings.

No matter how strong the Arsenal team is on the ground, they are no longer comfortable with this situation.

In the end, until the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game, the score of 2-1 remained unchanged!

Inter Milan got their wish with an away win at Highbury Stadium to take the lead in the two-legged semi-finals!

Chen Xi, who scored twice in this game and became the absolute hero of Inter Milan's victory, also continued his play as an "arsenal nemesis" when he played in the Premier League, and once again became a nightmare at Highbury Stadium!

…… The first leg of the Champions League semi-finals ended with both matches.

AC Milan lost at home to Barcelona, but Inter Milan got a win on the road!

The two teams, who were also at full play in last weekend's Milan derby, showed completely different forms in midweek.

This also made the media feel very puzzled.

Some people believe that AC Milan's opponent Barcelona is stronger than Inter Milan's opponent Arsenal.

There are also people who believe that Inter Milan itself is stronger than AC Milan.

However, a report in The Telegraph suggests a more plausible explanation.

Johansson, the Telegraph's sports editor-in-chief, said in his column: "The reasons for the difference between Milan's performances in the Champions League semi-finals are simple. Because the Inter Milan team has Edison...... And AC Milan doesn't!

Considering that the Telegraph is known as Chen Xi's royal media, this sentence seems to be somewhat unfair.

But the truth is that fans and even his media colleagues will have a deep feeling of approval after seeing this report!

Because Chen Xi, who scored twice in this round, almost single-handedly defeated the Arsenal team. And when he missed five Champions League group games, the number of goals in the Champions League has reached eight, and he has already caught up with Shevchenko, who is the top scorer in the Champions League.

Although it is also eight goals, Chen Xi's goals were not scored in the group stage against weak teams, but in the knockout round against strong opponents.

Considering that Shevchenko's AC Milan are highly likely to be eliminated, Inter Milan have a better chance of qualifying.

It is widely believed that Chen Xi is close to completing his three-in-a-row dominance in the Champions League scorer list......
