With Chen Xi's hat trick, Inter Milan completed a double reversal against Juventus in the score and standings in what can be called the most important league game of the season!
At the same time, although in the other league game, Tony also scored a goal, he was still closed by two goals by Chen Xi, who completed a hat-trick. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Chen Xi's goals have reached nineteen, while Tony's is twenty-two!
After this hat trick, Chen Xi also successfully climbed to the second place on the scorer list, topping Tony's chrysanthemum!
Obviously, the next battle for the shooter king has also entered the white-hot stage!
…… From falling behind by seven points to surpassing Juventus with the advantage of scoring a winning goal!
Inter Milan's miraculous performance also made the Italian media sing their praises.
In the process of catching up with Juventus, Inter Milan also "inadvertently" surpassed the record of 58 league games unbeaten in 10 seasons by their rivals AC Milan.
With the addition of last season, Inter Milan's unbeaten record in the league has extended to 63 games.
If you take into account other competitions, Inter Milan's unbeaten record is even more terrifying!
During the period when Chen Xi was banned, when the results of the Inter Milan team were unstable, the media who jumped out to ridicule Inter Milan obediently closed their mouths at this time. Or simply turn the pen and start singing praises for Inter.
Of course, people with surnames like Mourinho and Chen Xi will never pay attention to the attitude of the media.
Juventus coach Capello, who lost the national derby, also reluctantly declared that it is undoubtedly very difficult to come back after being surpassed by Inter Milan.
However, the Bianconeri have also said that they will still go all out in the coming season and wait for Inter Milan to make mistakes! ――
After playing the 25th round of the league with Juventus, Inter Milan ushered in the 26th round of matches non-stop!
Away to Livorno, Inter Milan may have been affected by the hard national derby and played a little hard.
In the end, with Chen Xi's golden goal, the Inter Milan team won by one goal!
However, the Juventus team seems to have been affected more. Facing Messina, last season's big dark horse, Juventus was twice tied by their opponents while leading twice. In the end, the score was also 2-2!
In this way, Inter Milan opened up a two-point gap to Juventus in the standings. It's time to get the leader's seat for yourself!
However, on the scorer list, Chen Xi was pulled away by Tony, who scored twice in this round. It became twenty to twenty!
For Tony's brave state, Chen Xi not only did not feel too much pressure, but felt full of fighting spirit!
That's what makes it interesting!
…… After playing this league, the Champions League game is also rekindled!
In the draw for the round of 16 of the Champions League, there were several strong conversations, Bayern met AC Milan and Arsenal met Real Madrid. Chelsea and Barcelona are rivals again!
Aside from these three matchups, the rest of the matches didn't get much attention. Inter Milan's opponent Ajax is also a good sign.
Ajax is also nominally a traditional European giant.
However, since the famous Bosman Act, Ajax and even the entire Dutch league have become the "player processing factory" of the giants.
There are several strong teams in the Netherlands, and every year there is an opportunity for a group of young talents to take to the stage, and then they will quickly leave the Eredivisie and land in the big four leagues.
Therefore, it is difficult for a team like Ajax to play consistently in the European arena.
In the face of such an opponent, Inter Milan also showed their momentum as the European hegemon last season.
In the first leg of the away game, Inter Milan won a 3-1 game and took the lead!
In this game, Chen Xi scored twice and announced to the people. Even after missing five group games, he still doesn't plan to give up the top scorer in the Champions League!
…… Back in Milan, Inter Milan welcomed Udinese at home.
Another 3-1 and Inter Milan continued their winning streak.
Juventus also seems to have come out of the haze of three consecutive winless games, and quickly and neatly defeated Lecce 3-0 in this game!
On the scorer list, Chen Xi scored another goal, but Tony, who was at the top of the list, also scored a goal, 21 to 25, and the gap was still four goals!
…… In the 28th round of the league, Inter Milan ushered in a strong opponent Roma!
Juventus is facing Sampdoria, and it is widely believed that this is a great opportunity for Juventus to close the points gap between Inter Milan!
Inter Milan was indeed blocked by the eyes of the Red Wolves at the Olympic Stadium in Rome.
Halfway through the first half, it was Prince Totti of Rome who scored a goal. The Roma team began to defend shamelessly!
Spalletti's tactics of three backs and four defenders today are indeed very effective in restraining the attack of the Inter Milan team!
The score was 1-0 until the seventy-fifth minute!
That's when Inter Milan got a corner kick from the left!
When Figo was about to run over to take the penalty, he found that Chen Xi was already standing near the corner flagpole.
And after the referee blew the whistle, he gave the ball to nearby Figo. Then reach out to him for the ball.
So, Figo acted as a wall and made the ball back!
Facing the ball made by Figo, Chen Xi directly kicked the ball in front of the goal with the inside of his right foot!
The ball looks like a cross, but if you look at the speed and arc of the ball, you can see that it is actually a shot!
Roma goalkeeper Doni obviously didn't expect Chen Xi to shoot in such a situation.
When he reacted, the ball fell into the goal behind him like a cannonball!
This goal plunged most of Rome's Olympic Stadium into a dead silence.
Only a few thousand Inter Milan fans who came with the team erupted in a wild cheer!
Chen Xi didn't celebrate, because it was just a draw, and if they wanted to hold on to the edge of the standings, what they needed was a win!
As a result, in the next ten minutes, the Inter Milan team continued to launch ferocious attacks!
The Roma team seems to have made up their minds to stop Inter Milan. Therefore, even in the face of a draw, they are still defending hard!
Dangerous figures like Chen Xi and Figo are closely guarded by the Roma team!
Adriano is also like a caged beast in the box.
Before you know it, the game has reached stoppage time.
Chen Xi appeared at the front of the Roma penalty area, surrounded by almost three or four players.
Figo on the right is also caught in the defensive.
Chen Xi protected the ball and looked for a gap.
That's when he spotted Zambrotta on the left.
As they pulled to the middle, Roma defended a little loosely on the left side of Inter Milan.
Faced with this situation, Chen Xi made a breakthrough, but in fact, after shaking off a gap, he hoisted the ball into the left rib of the Roma team's penalty area!
And Zambrotta appeared quietly in that position!
Zambrotta, as a wide corridor player, has a good sense of attack.
It's just that Chen Xi can often take over the heavy responsibility of attacking alone on the left side, which also makes Zambrotta more often feel at ease to stay in the backfield to defend.
This time his insertion obviously caught Roma off guard!
Chen Xi's kick legend is also very ingenious, just sent to the empty space on the left side of the penalty area, and gave Zambrotta space to sprint!
Zambrotta got in and had a chance to adjust the ball, and then used his better right foot to push it out!
Roma goalkeeper Doni had just hastily shifted his focus to block the angle, but he was still a little helpless in the face of Zambrotta's calm shot from such a close range!
2 to 1!
In this way, the Inter Milan team once again completed the stunner and reversal!
But this time the protagonist is Zambrotta, the iron guard on the left!
Of course, there are still many media who credit this goal to Chen Xi, who assisted Zambrotta.
They believe that players who can solve problems on their own and create opportunities for their teammates when they are in the middle of a siege are the core of the team.
Chen Xi obviously did this very well!
Inter Milan once again sealed the win in the last minute, much to the disappointment of the Juventus, who had finished the game earlier on the other pitch.
Because they have already won Sampdoria, as long as Inter Milan don't win this game, they can tie the points. It's a pity that they were disappointed again!
At the same time, in the scorer list, Toney finally stopped his streak of goals. Fiorentina and Siena played a dull game in this match. The two sides exchanged blank papers!
In this way, Chen Xi also narrowed the gap between the two to three goals again on the scorer list, twenty-two to twenty-five!
…… In midweek, they faced Ajax, who had lost 3-1 in the first leg.
Mourinho also made some adjustments to the lineup, but Chen Xi continued to start.
In this game, Inter Milan won the game with a clean 2-0, and advanced to the quarterfinals with an aggregate score of 5-1 over the two legs!
Chen Xi also scored a goal in this game, plus Valencia's goal in the first game of the group stage, Chen Xi's goal in the Champions League also reached four. Shevchenko, who is the top scorer, is also only three goals away.
Back in the league, Inter Milan also met Sampdoria!
In the penultimate round of last season, Inter Milan and Sampdoria were at odds over whether to postpone the match. In the end, Inter Milan won the championship early, but still went all out to win the Sampdoria team. It also completely shattered Sampdoria's Champions League dreams.
It can be said that there is a certain amount of hatred between the two teams!
Therefore, in this game, the Sampdoria team also tried their best to stop Inter Milan and avenge last season's arrow!
This time, in the face of the Sampdoria team, which was defending with all its might, Chen Xi once again stood up as a storming player.
His long-range shot from outside the box blasted Sampdoria open and scored the only goal of the game!
At the same time, in the focus of this round, Inter Milan's city rival AC Milan did Inter Milan a big favor, they drew 0-0 with Juventus in Alpi!
This also allowed Inter Milan to stretch the points gap to four points!
In the scorer list, Toni found his scoring form again, and the gap between him and Chen Xi, who scored one goal, remained at three goals. He also scored 26 goals. It is very expected to become another person who has broken the curse of Serie A strikers who have not been able to break through 30 goals in Serie A for nearly 40 years after Chen Xi last season!
…… A week later, the thirtieth round of the league began.
Inter Milan won 3-0 at home against Lazio Blue Eagles.
Juventus, on the other hand, won 3-1 against Livorno.
The point gap is still four points, but Chen Xi and Tony on the scorer list are each scoring one goal each.
In midweek, the Coppa Italia was also renewed.
Inter Milan's opponent is Udinese.
Inter Milan, who came off the bench, only managed to beat Udinese 1-0 at home thanks to a goal from Recoba. This also makes the second leg of the away game a little suspenseful!
Three days later, in the 31st round of the league, Inter Milan defeated Parma 1-0 to continue the winning streak.
Juventus was forced to draw at home by Roma, and the gap was stretched to six points!
After this game, it also made the media think that the competition for the league championship began to lose suspense!
…… The gap with Juventus in the league has widened, and Inter Milan can also put their energy into the Champions League for the time being!
In the quarterfinals, Inter Milan continued their previous good luck and met La Liga's submarine Villarreal!
Barcelona and AC Milan were also lucky, as they met Benfica and Lyon respectively.
Arsenal and Juventus met together and became the only strong dialogue in the quarter-finals!
In the quarter-finals, Inter Milan faced a home-and-away fixture.
In the first leg of the home game, Inter Milan won the game, but the score of 2-1 was obviously not satisfactory. Moreover, Riquelme's away goal was also crucial.
This also makes the second round of the Battle of Love Song Stadium full of suspense!
Back in the league, Jose Mourinho may be thinking about the second leg of the Champions League next week. So he rotated most of the main forces!
Of course, Chen Xi, who is aiming for the league's golden boot, has not truce!
Facts have proved that when Chen Xi is on the field, the gap between Inter Milan sending the main team or sending substitutes to play does not seem to be very big.
Because, in the home game against Messina, Inter Milan played a powerful 4-0!
Chen Xi also scored twice in this game.
Although Toney also scored another goal in this round, the gap between the two was narrowed to two goals. Toney's goal tally reached 28, while Chen Xi followed with 26 goals!
Meanwhile, second-placed Juventus seem to be fully focused on the Champions League. In the league, they were forced to draw by promoted Mattreviso, which widened the gap between the two teams to eight points!
At this time, almost no one would doubt that Inter Milan will defend the league title!
…… Of course, the league did not attract much attention, because the following midweek, the Serie A top three all ushered in the second leg of the crucial Champions League quarter-finals!
Among them, the situation at Juventus is the most dire. In the first leg of the away game, they were beaten 2-0 by Arsenal. In this game, they must beat the Gunners with a score of more than 3-0 to advance to the last four.
Facing the Arsenal team in this period, it is obviously difficult for Juventus to get a big win.
In addition, the situation of the Milan duo is not good. Inter Milan won just one 2-1 at home in the first leg and could not be taken lightly in the second leg.
AC Milan drew 0-0 away to Lyon in the first leg, but without an away goal, they also need a win to secure progress!
…… On the evening of April 5th, the Milan duo took the lead in the game!
At the Love Song Stadium, the submarine Villarreal at home showed the same characteristics as their nickname!
In the sixteenth minute of the game, they took advantage of a free kick in front of the goal, and Riquelme scored a goal from their absolute core!
It helped Villarreal equalise the aggregate score and, thanks to the away goal advantage, would have reached the last four of the Champions League for the first time in their history if they had maintained that scoreline until the end!
Riquelme is undoubtedly another player in European football this season, in addition to Chen Xi, who has taken his personal heroism to the extreme!
After being swept away by Barcelona's half-sold and half-given away, he seemed to vent his frustration on the field.
He has a crazy double-double of goals and assists in the league this year, even compared to Barcelona's King Ronaldo.
Under his leadership, the submarine not only remained in the top four of the league, but also reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League for the first time in history.
His goal in this game gave Villarreal the initiative to advance to the semi-finals!
After taking a one-goal lead, Chilean engineer Manuel Pellegrini decisively asked his team to shrink and play a defensive counter-attack.
Under the leadership of captain Senna, the submarine dived into the water steadily, and no matter how the Inter Milan team disturbed, it just didn't come out!
In the first half, they managed to hold a 1-0 lead.
At the beginning of the second half, Mourinho replaced Stankovic with Vieri and sent the legendary four-striker tactic!
After Stankovic left the game, Figo and Chen Xi began to take turns to withdraw the organization.
Inter Milan's attacking firepower has increased significantly, and it is not yet a rule.
Although Villarreal's midfielders worked very hard, they finally showed their flaws in the 68th minute in the face of the onslaught of the world-class stars of the Inter Milan team!
After receiving the ball in the middle, Figo got rid of the defense of two people in a row, and sent a through ball as accurate as a scalpel!
Chen Xi, who was originally active on the left side, also inserted into the penalty area with a clear understanding. Due to the cover of the two central forwards, Vieri and Adriano, Chen Xi was almost unguarded after inserting into the penalty area.
Facing Barbosa, who abandoned the goal, Chen Xi sent the ball into the goal with a light shot!
At this moment, the love song stadium, which was as frenzied as fire before, fell into an icy silence!
Although Chen Xi's goal only helped Inter Milan equalize, it allowed Inter Milan to regain the lead in the aggregate score.
Moreover, Inter Milan did not suffer in terms of away goals.
Villarreal need to score at least two goals if they want to advance!
So, after the game resumed, the submarine finally emerged from the bottom of the water and launched a crazy attack!
In all fairness, Villarreal's attacking line consisting of Forlan, Figueroa and Riquelme is still luxurious.
Therefore, when they attacked with all their might, the Inter Milan team still withstood a huge test!
However, all these efforts came to naught in the 77th minute of the game!
This was a counterattack, Chen Xi, who took the ball on the left side of the midfield, returned the favor and sent a wonderful long pass to Figo on the right side, helping Figo win a single chance to break into the penalty area!
Figo, who returned to the Spanish arena, was in good shape, and he naturally did not let go of this one-on-one opportunity, and after he easily pushed the ball into the goal, the Love Song Stadium was completely quiet!
The score of this game became 2-1, the aggregate score became 4-2, and Inter Milan also had the advantage of scoring more away goals!
That means Villarreal needs to score three goals in the last ten minutes. Against Inter Milan's luxurious backline, it was clearly an impossible task!
In the face of a huge lead, Mourinho also made two midfielders in a row without blocking to strengthen the defense.
In the end, the score remained 2-1 until the end.
Inter Milan successfully sank the submarine and advanced to the last four of the Champions League!
After the game, Chen Xi obviously saw a trace of unwillingness in Riquelme's eyes.
The Argentine has struggled this season to prove how wrong Barcelona were to give up on him. So he worked extra hard. But his efforts have come to naught in the face of the gap in strength between Villarreal and Inter Milan!
What's more, this is also the second time he has placed at Chen Xi's feet after the Federation Cup!
Chen Xi, like in the last Confederations Cup final, took the initiative to exchange jerseys with Riquelme.
For this guy, who is known as the last "classical striker" in European football, Chen Xi still admires it very much.
Of course, appreciation is appreciation, as an opponent, Chen Xi will not have any softness, just like today......
