After playing the Italian Super Cup, Jose Mourinho gave his team a day off. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The UEFA Super Cup will be played in Monaco in a week's time. Before that, the draw ceremony for the group stage of the UEFA Champions League and the award ceremony for last season's Champions League were also held there!

As the winners of this award, Mourinho and Chen Xi left for Monaco ahead of schedule, and then the team will meet them the following day to prepare for the UEFA Super Cup!

The draw ceremony award ceremony will be held on the afternoon of August 25th!

In the awards, Chen Xi was elected the best striker and the best player without any suspense. Jose Mourinho won the "Champion Coach" award along with UEFA Cup champion coach Gazaev!

In the awards, Chelsea, who rose to prominence last season, were also winners. Their captain John Terry and goalkeeper Petr Cech were named the best defender and best goalkeeper respectively!

The best midfielder was won by last season's Champions League runner-up, Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard!

In fact, people pay more attention to the results of the draw for the groups than the awards.

As usual, the 32 teams in the Champions League this time have also been divided into four pots.

Defending champions Inter Milan are in Pot 1 with Real Madrid, AC Milan, Barcelona, Manchester United, Bayern Munich, Arsenal and Juventus.

It is worth mentioning that Liverpool, the runner-up of last season's Champions League, failed to enter this season's Champions League due to its poor performance in the league, so Gerrard, as the winner, can only sit in the audience with the mentality of a spectator.

The teams in Pot 2 are Porto, PSV Eindhoven, Lyon, Valencia, Chelsea, Villarreal, Panathinaikos and Ajax in order of points.

The third and fourth pots also include Bundesliga teams Bremen and Schalke 04, Serie A's Udinese and other teams that are on the radar!

In the sorting of the first pot, Inter Milan were drawn to Group H.

The draw for the second pot will undoubtedly be the most watched, as it will basically be the main highlight of each group.

After the teams in the second pot were drawn out one after another, it can be said that some people are happy and some are worried.

However, Mourinho and Chen Xi saw a hint of helplessness in each other's eyes, because they drew the second-tier team...... It's Valencia again!

This is not because of how strong Valencia is, but because this is the third time in the past four seasons that Inter Milan have met Valencia.

Among them, in the 02-03 season, they met Valencia in the knockout round. Last season and this season were placed in the same group as Valencia for the second year in a row.

Of course, Valencia coach Flores was not much better at this time.

Although he only took over from Claudio Ranieri this season, he also knows that the team suffered two heavy defeats to Inter Milan in the Champions League group stage last season!

This season, although Valencia's strength has been strengthened to a certain extent. But isn't Inter Milan getting more and more terrifying?

Now, he can only hope to draw two weaker teams in the third and fourth pots, so that he can at least have a chance to finish second in the group.

However, Glasgow Rangers, drawn from Pot 3, are clearly not an underdog.

Fortunately, in the fourth pot is the little-known Slovak champion Bratislava!

All in all, although this sign is not a rare group of death, it is not easy.

In terms of the other groups, there was no traditional group of death.

…… After participating in the draw ceremony, Chen Xi and Mourinho also gathered with the club, and then began to make final preparations for the Super Cup!

On August 26, the Louis II Stadium in Monaco!

The 2005 UEFA Super Cup between Inter Milan and CSKA Moscow will be played here!

For this game, the outside world is almost one-sided on the side of the Inter Milan team!

Because in their opinion, even if CSKA Moscow performed a miracle in the UEFA Cup last season, there is still a clear gap between them and Inter Milan in terms of strength!

Of course, this can also be understood as the ignorance of the "remote" league of Russia in the mainstream European football circles.

In fact, if you look at CSKA's squad from a perspective on the future, you will find that they have a number of outstanding young players in their squad.

Goalkeeper Akinfeev needless to say, he played for the Russian national team at the age of 18 and is the youngest international in the history of the Russian national team. Now in 19 he is known as "Yashin II" in Russia!

In addition to Akinfeev, CSKA Moscow also has 21-year-old Krasic, 22-year-old Zerkov, and two young rookies from Brazil, 22-year-old striker Carvalho and 21-year-old striker Wagner Love!

These names are still unknown on the European continent, but their strength was proven in last year's UEFA Cup, and these youngsters have become the focus of Europe's biggest clubs!

It's not hard to imagine that in time they all have the chance to play in a higher level of football in Europe!

Compared with the contempt of CSKA from the outside world, Mourinho has shown a calm appearance.

He spent a lot of time collecting footage of CSKA last season's performances in his home country and in Europe. And summed up their tactics, so as to make a tactical arrangement for the surname!

After summing up, Mourinho found. Gazaev is very good at exploiting the outstanding abilities of several of his midfielders.

When facing teams that are stronger than them, they tend to line up in a four-five-one formation. Put Love up front alone, mess up the opposition's backline, and then let the midfielder behind him plug in to create chances!

Of course, Love himself has a good impact, both physically and with good speed. It has the ability to fight alone.

Therefore, CSKA's offensive is also very difficult to defend.

…… Soon, the time was half past eight in the evening, and it was only fifteen minutes before the start of the game.

At this time, the Louis II Stadium, which could only accommodate less than 20,000 fans, was already packed. In fact, due to the limited capacity of the stadium, many fans of both teams who came to Monaco did not have the opportunity to attend the game.

Because of the capacity of the Louis II Stadium, many people have questioned UEFA's practice of putting the Super Cup here for a long time!

However, the tradition has continued for seven seasons and will continue if nothing else!

Although it is the first time to participate in the European Super Cup, Chen Xi is no stranger to the Louis II Stadium.

Because in the 03-04 season, he once came here with Liverpool to face the Monaco team, the owner of this stadium.

…… Fifteen minutes later, to the cheers of more than 18,000 fans, players from last season's Champions League winners Inter Milan and UEFA Cup winners CSKA Moscow walked out of the tunnel side by side!

The big screen at the Stade Louis II also showed the starting line-ups of both sides:

Inter starting line-up (4-3-3):

Goalkeeper: ToldoDefenders: Zanetti, Materazzi, Carvalho, ZambrottaMidfielders: Essien, Stankovic, CambiasoForwards: Figo, Adriano, Edison-Chan Inter Milan team, this season's new signings except for Figo's starters, other positions are basically the absolute main force of last season.

CSKA Moscow starting line-up (4-5-1):

Goalkeepers: Akinfeev Defenders: Ignasievic, A-Berezzoski, Odiach, V-BerezzoskiMidfielders: Krasic, Carvalho, Adonin, Remaker, ZerkovForwards: SV CSKA Moscow also really lined up in a four-one-five formation.

…… Soon, the game officially began after the whistle of referee Nelson!

As soon as the game began, the Inter Milan team launched a ferocious offensive in the stadium of Louis II, and the cheers of the Inter Milan fans, who were obviously outnumbered.

In the eighth minute of the game, Inter Milan created a near-final chance!

Figo on the right side took the ball and pushed in the direction of the baseline, and he accelerated as if to force the bottom. In fact, it was a sudden sudden brake and a kick back of the ball!

Then before the opposing left-back reacts, he directly crosses with his left foot!

The two tall centre-backs in the box focused their attention on Adriano, but they didn't expect the ball to reach the back post!

Chen Xi appeared in the penalty area again, and facing Figo's pass was a head-shaking attack!

The Inter fans in the stands were ready to get up and celebrate...... "Oh my God! Incredibly, Akinfeev made an incredible save to deny Edison's close-range header! Karachi, who was in charge of broadcasting the game, exclaimed.

The Inter fans in the stands also let out a sigh of regret!

Chen Xi originally thought that his header was already nine out of ten, who knew that the opponent's goalkeeper reacted so quickly!

…… The game continued, and four minutes later, Inter Milan's attack came again.

This time it was Chen Xi on the left who launched the attack!

He dribbled the ball along the flank, and after shaking off a gap, he passed straight into the grass and flew into the box!

The ball was almost delivered to Adriano who was running, so all Adriano had to do was to shoot directly with his left foot against the ball!

This shot was powerful and heavy, but unfortunately the angle was too positive, and it flew directly into the arms of Akinfeev, who was in an excellent position!

From the start, Inter Milan threatened CSKA Moscow's goal on a number of occasions.

This also made the Inter fans in the stands very excited, as if after this game, they were about to see the team lift the fifth trophy of 2005!

However, in the sixteenth minute of the game. CSKA Moscow was almost the first threatening attack since the opening kick-off, and it actually led to a goal!

After receiving Carvalho's ball in the middle, Zhrkov advanced along the left side!

When brought to the level of the penalty line, Love, who was a single arrow, suddenly pulled out of the penalty area and ran towards Zerkov, ready to receive the ball.

Zerkov also quickly crossed the ball to Love.

In the face of Zerkov's pass, Love made a gesture to receive the ball, but in fact, his legs were opened, and the ball passed between his legs and came to the middle of the edge of the penalty area!

At this time, his compatriot Carvalho appeared in that position!

Moreover, there was no one around him at this time!

In the face of the ball, Carvalho didn't even need to stop the ball, and directly got up with his right foot and volleyed!

The ball flies straight into the bottom left corner of the goal!

Although Toldo made a save, he didn't even touch the shadow of the ball, and could only watch the ball fly into the goal behind him!

"Oh, the ball is in! The CSKA in Moscow played a brilliant match. It was Brazilian midfielder Daniel Carvalho who scored the goal...... "Karachi said with regret.

CSKA fans in the stands erupted in surprise cheers!

On the field!

Love, Carvalho and Erkov, who had just played a wonderful match, were also celebrating excitedly.

On the sidelines!

Mourinho waved his hand depressedly, obviously unhappy with the team's leakage in front of the penalty area.

…… After the game restarted, the Inter Milan team, which was behind the score, naturally had to continue to attack.

Their attack is still dangerous, but they are always a little bit away from scoring!

It wasn't until more than half an hour into the game that Inter Milan finally equalized!

In a counterattack, Stankovic directly sent a long pass to the back of CSKA Moscow's right back, and Chen Xi was like a group of cheetahs, plugging in at high speed, overtaking the opponent's right back to catch up with the ball!

As soon as he caught up with the ball, Chen Xi found that the opponent's back Adoning had already chased over. So Chen Xi went directly to the middle from the direction of the bottom line, and he cut in from the other side of Adonin!

"A beautiful ball pass!"

Adonin barely reacted to what was happening, and Chen Xi had already caught up with the ball again and entered the penalty area.

After attracting A-Berezzoski's supplementary defense, Chen Xi did not continue to break through, but directly knocked the ball to the goal!

At this time, Adriano has already outflanked the goal, and all he has to do is to push the ball directly into the empty goal in front of him!

There was no suspense, Adriano scored a simple goal!

“egooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal，egoal，égolégolégol，égolégolégol，égolégolégol！！！ Ade! Ade! Adriano!!! After Edison used his speed and skill to tear through CSKA Moscow's left defence, he sent the ball into the deadliest position in the CSKA penalty area with a pinpoint cross-pass. Gave Adriano the chance to finish the fatal blow with ease! Inter Milan equalised! Karachi shouted excitedly.

The Inter fans in the stands cheered excitedly...... Mourinho and the substitutes on the sidelines also rushed to the sidelines excitedly...... Adriano, who scored on the field, rushed directly to Chen Xi, and the two hugged each other............ After Inter Milan celebrated, the game resumed.

Towards the end of the first half, Inter Milan had a corner on the right.

After Figo joined, Chen Xi also gave the main penalty power of the corner kick to the big brother, and he could run to the penalty area to grab points!

Russia has no shortage of big men, and so does their football team. Moscow vs CSKA has a number of tall players in their squad. Like the twin Berezowski brothers in their team, they are all big men about 1.9 meters tall. So against Inter Milan, who also have a number of big players, they won't be as stressed as other teams!

Figo's corner went straight to Materazzi, the team's highest point!

However, under the defense of V-Berezzoski, who is also more than 1.9 meters tall, Materazzi only rubbed the ball slightly and failed to form a header!

However, after the ball was rubbed by him, it just fell in front of Chen Xi, and in the face of this half-high ball, Chen Xi made a very difficult flying sideways volley!

The defenders around him risked being kicked by Chen Xi to block it, but they still couldn't stop Chen Xi's shot from flying towards the far corner!

Akinfeev obviously didn't expect that Chen Xi would be able to complete such a difficult shot in such a short time, so he couldn't react and could only watch the ball go into the net!

“egooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal，egoal，égolégolégol，égolégolégol，égolégolégol！！！ Edison! Edison! Edison!!! It's a kick in the world wave! Edison's ball not only showed us his great physicality, but also gave us a taste of his quick reactions! Edison's pass and shot helped Inter Milan overtake the score before half-time! Karachi roared excitedly again.

After the goal, Chen Xi also rushed to the stands where the Inter Milan fans were, enjoying their cheers!

…… The score remained 2-1 until halftime.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again, but neither made personnel adjustments.

The backward CSKA also had to strengthen the attack, and Krasic and Zerkov on the two flanks also continued to attack the flanks of the Inter Milan team.

With long blond hair and attacking on the wing, Krasic has a bit of the style of Nedved, the core of Juventus.

With an hour to go, he came close to breaking the door of Inter Milan with a powerful long-range shot in the style of Nedved.

Fortunately, this time Toldo reacted in time to keep the ball out!

Six minutes later, they played another great frontcourt combination!

Zerkov's 45-degree cross from the left into the box.

Love was still the first to get to the ball under Materazzi's marking, but instead of heading it towards goal, he made it to his compatriot Carvalho, who had inserted it into the box!

Brazilian Carvalho did not give Portugal Carvalho a chance to make up for it, and it was a furious shot to meet the ball directly!

It's a pity that this time his shot angle was a little positive, and he was directly knocked out of the penalty area by Toldo's double fists.

CSKA Moscow created so many threatening attacks from the start, which really scared the Inter fans in the stands. And CSKA fans are excited again and again, disappointed again and again!

Inter Milan were given a chance to seal the win just as the game was about to enter the final 20 minutes.

It was a counterattack, Chen Xi advanced at high speed with the ball on the left side, and did not break through the opponent's right back, but directly got up and sent the ball to the middle!

The ball was still flying on the grass, and after drawing a wonderful arc in the air, it did not fall at the feet of Adriano, but went around him to the feet of Figo at the back post!

Figo took advantage of the situation to take the ball into the penalty area, and then directly volleyed with his right foot into the far corner!

The ball almost went straight to the corner, but Akinfeev made another incredible save, and with a touch of his fingertips, the ball changed direction slightly, and it went straight off the line!

"Wow~~~ Akinfeev has made another meritorious service. Today, the age gap between the goalkeepers of both sides is huge, and Toldo is almost twice as old as Akinfeev. But the performance of the two people is comparable, and they both have many wonderful saves! Karachi couldn't help but admire.

In a subsequent attack by CSKA Moscow, their striker Love won the ball at the edge of the penalty area, forced a turn to get rid of it, and then fired a long-range shot directly from 30 meters away!

The goal made no save for Toldo, but the ball eventually went wide of the goal!

After getting up from the turf, Toldo asked for the ball directly from the caddie behind the goal, and then quickly sent a goal kick!

He kicked the ball to Zanetti on the right, and Zanetti stuffed the ball directly to Figo in front!

Figo received the ball and turned around in one go, and after shaking off the chasing Zerkov, Figo hoisted the ball directly to the edge of the penalty area!

Adriano, who was up front, had two defenders around him, but he showed unstoppable momentum. Stand up between the two and lead the ball with your chest!

The ball appeared in front of his right side, he accelerated, and he didn't care that his right foot was not his usual foot, so he directly volleyed into the far corner with his right foot!

Although he is better at using his left foot, when Adriano finishes this shot, it feels great!

Sure enough, the ball was like a torpedo, and it quickly drilled into the far corner of the goal!

Although Akinfeev made a save, he was helpless!

"Ball...... Entered again!!! Adriano again!! The prolific goalscorer for Inter Milan has shown his excellent form at the start of the new season. Scored a brace in this game! Of course, the goal is also thanks to Figo's excellent assist. With two wingers by his side, Thomas Edison and Figo, Adriano is undoubtedly the happiest centre-forward in world football!! "The roar of Karachi once again rang out in the stands of the Louis II Stadium!

Almost at the same moment, the stands where the Inter Milan fans were in the stands were also in a frenzied celebration!

With only a dozen minutes left in the game, Inter Milan still have a two-goal lead and they clearly think their fifth title of 2005 is on the way!

On the sidelines!

Mourinho also waved his fist excitedly.

On the field!

Adriano also rushed to the stands where the Inter Milan fans were excited, enjoying the shouts of the fans!

At this time, CSKA Moscow fans were in despair.

The CSKA players on the field were also demoralized.

As the coach of the team, Gazzakov decisively called another Brazilian striker, De Sousa, from the bench. He was then replaced by midfielder Remaker, so that CSKA had five attackers in midfield, which was clearly a way to strengthen the offensive and give it a go.

However, it is also very dangerous, as they are left with only Adonin as a defensive player in the midfield.

The new Brazilian striker De Sousa was very positive, taking the ball for the first time and struck a powerful long-range shot from 30 meters away, forcing Toldo to make a save!

Here, the attack of the Central Army Army in Moscow, which gave it a go, was indeed impressive. But the counterattacks of the Inter Milan team are almost fatal!

In the 83rd minute of the game, Adonen had no choice but to bring down Stankovic at the edge of the penalty area, giving Inter Milan a free-kick opportunity in a good position!

Seeing this scene, the Inter Milan fans in the stands were already standing up and ready to cheer for the goal.

Because in their opinion, Chen Xi's direct free kick in such a position has a hit rate not much worse than a penalty!

Akinfeev was obviously also very jealous of Chen Xi's free kick, so he discharged an exaggerated six-man wall in front of him!

Chen Xi was very puzzled by what he did, because in his opinion, it was useless to put a wall of ten people out of them, because most of his free kicks were around the wall above!

Finally, after Chen Xidu, who had set the ball and exited a certain distance, waited impatiently, the human wall of CSKA Moscow was discharged!

Honk!

After the referee's whistle, Chen Xi directly started his dashing run, and the inside of his right foot was pumped into the bottom of the ball.

The ball arced around the wall and crashed headlong into the goal behind them!

Akinfeev made a flying save, but it only served as a backdrop for such a perfect free-kick!

“egooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal，egoal，égolégolégol，égolégolégol，égolégolégol！！！ Edison! Edison! Edison!!! An impeccable free-kick to score! Whether it's speed, angle or curvature, this free kick is perfect! 4 to 1, Edison completely killed the suspense of this game! We can already announce the winner of this UEFA Super Cup in advance, they are Inter Milan, and they will also be the first five-time champions in European football! Karachi exclaimed excitedly.

The fans in the stands began to cheer as the ball went around the wall.

After the goal, Chen Xi stood directly in place, holding his hands high. There was no passionate celebration, but he was still the center of attention, the heart of the stadium!

…… After Chen Xi's goal, the next time has completely become garbage time.

When the 90 minutes of the game were up, Nelson didn't even give a second of stoppage time, and just blew the whistle for the end of the game!

In the subsequent award ceremony, Inter Milan also successfully lifted their fifth championship trophy of 2005, becoming an unprecedented five-time champion!

Of course, if you count the Club World Cup at the end of the year, they have the hope of becoming even crazier six-time champions!
