Andy Townsend, former captain of the Irish national team and Aston Villa, has said this in his autobiography.

In the 95U season, in the first round of the Premier League, Aston Villa led Manchester United 0 in the first half, Alan Hansen, who was in charge of the commentary, sarcastically ridiculed Ferguson, "With a group of children, you will never win the championship", when I was on my way to the home team's dressing room, I passed by the door of the away team's dressing room, the door was open, and Ferguson stood less than 15 centimeters away from Steve Bruce.

Both gasped for breath and flushed, but don't get me wrong, they weren't the couple kissing, but because Ferguson was turning on his hair dryer, but the two gave me the impression of two roosters in a fight

If you think that Ferguson and Steve the Bruce had a bad relationship just from Andy Towngson's autobiography, then sorry, you were wrong, and an interview with The Times will prove it.

When the reporter asked Birmingham manager Steve Bruce about the news that Ferguson was retiring, Steve Bruce put on his signature expression of disdain and scorn that was almost exactly the same as Ferguson, and replied with a sneer, "Nonsense, the dead old man can still be a long time, and he may not retire if you retire"

Some people say that Steve Bruce is regarded by Ferguson as a protégé, and Ferguson has said many times that Steve Bruce is the person who is most like him, not only because of his personality, but also because of the irreversible master-apprentice relationship between the two.

So, when Manchester United was in an embarrassment and Chelsea was riding the dust, far ahead, a reporter asked Steve Bruce, what did you think most about Birmingham when you met Chelsea?

Steve Bruce put on the same confident expression as Ferguson, "What a dead old man can't do, I'll do it for him"

As a result, his side held Chelsea to an incredible draw in the game, again on the road.

This is definitely something that no one expected, Chelsea have been in hot form recently, the Champions League, FA Cup and the league are all on the rise, but now they have been forced to draw by Birmingham, which has to be said to be a big blow.

So after this game, when the reporter told Ye Qiu that Ferguson called Steve Bruce before the game, Ye Qiu jokingly scolded, "I hate that damn Ferguson the most"

But soon, Ye Qiu returned to seriousness, shook his head and said: "It's nothing to be forced to draw by Birmingham, to be honest, we can't maintain a high level of performance and form forever, there will definitely be ups and downs, and we just played Bayern Munich in midweek, which more or less affected our state." ”

When asked by reporters if he was worried that this draw would interrupt Chelsea's excellent form, Ye Qiu said that he was not worried at all, "If we would have been affected by a draw, then we would not have been able to get to where we are today." ”

When a reporter asked Ye Qiu about Ferguson's support for Steve Bruce, Ye Qiu did not forget to fight an old opponent.

'I think it's ridiculous, if Ferguson really has a way to beat me and Chelsea, then he doesn't need to borrow Steve Bruce's hand at all, he's going to get revenge himself'

Ye Qiu's words made all the reporters present laugh, and they must have been thinking that if these words were conveyed to Ferguson, Ferguson's character would be another round of indiscriminate war of words, which must be very lively, especially when the FA Cup semi-finals and the 33rd round of the league between Manchester United and Chelsea are coming.

In fact, everyone knows that this draw will not affect Chelsea's title plans, at best it can only be said to delay Chelsea's title date, and it can even be said that this season's Premier League title already belongs to Chelsea, and it will be difficult for others to compete for it, even if Chelsea then focus all their energy on the Champions League and FA Cup.

But what Steve Bruce's team adopted when they met Chelsea was, in Steve Bruce's words, brave, or savage and brutal tactics in Ye Qiu's words, and Bayern Munich followed suit.

Speaking to the media ahead of the second leg of the Champions League knockout round, Magath and Kahn expressed their confidence in the second leg of their home game against Chelsea, but also said that Bayern Munich must use more aggressive tactics to suppress Chelsea.

What is aggressiveness?

In the first minute of the game, Robert Kovac did a good job of illustrating this with his performance, he still stepped on Drogba's ankle after Drogba had already passed the ball, and the Ivorian was carried off the field for a few minutes for treatment, and then limped back on the pitch.

But less than 10 minutes later, Robert Kovac brought down Drogba again, and this time the referee finally couldn't take it and gave the Croatian a yellow card.

Robert Kovac's brutality was just one part of Bayern Munich's ferocious tactics, with other players following the same tactics to restrain Chelsea, which resulted in Chelsea being constantly violated during the game, unable to show their form, and sluggish throughout the first half.

Chelsea are not doing well, and Bayern Munich, who are only thinking about fouls, are also doing badly.

At halftime, Ye Qiu repeatedly cheered for the players, and kept calling on the players to unite and unite as one.

"I firmly believe that as long as all of us try to unite and all of us work together, we will have nothing to fear no matter how brutal our opponents are, because we will be able to defeat them."

"Aren't they going to fight harder? Well, how brave they are, then we are more brave than them, they kick us, and we kick them back, but not on them, but on the ball under our feet, into their goal, so that the vote who only knows how to foul can taste our strength."

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, for we are the strongest"

Schweinsteiger is still playing his right wing-back and is tasked with helping Sagnol to keep Chelsea down the left.

The young German is a bit afraid of Ronaldinho, because he never guesses what the Brazilian will do next, he guesses incorrectly almost every time, and many times, guessing the opponent's intentions wrongly often represents a fatal mistake.

However, you should never doubt the willpower and execution of the German players.

Therefore, every time Ronaldinho gets the ball, Sagnol must be able to see Schweinsteiger around him, and his arrival rate even exceeds that of Demichelis, the defender who was entrusted with the task of this game, the Argentine exists to liberate Ballack, but in fact he does not do it well.

At the very least, every time Ronaldinho gets the ball, Schweinsteiger can form a bag with Sagnor for the first time.

But the Brazilians are so slippery, like a non-sticky loach, so slippery that you can't even catch them.

When Schweinsteiger thought about catching it, Ronaldinho had successfully dribbled through the gap between him and Sagnol, and cut inside horizontally against the line of the penalty area, straight to Demichelis.

Because Schweinsteiger's grab, although he didn't grasp it firmly, he grabbed Ronaldinho's jersey, causing the Brazilian's body balance to be broken, and he stumbled a little with the ball, which looked a little big under one trip.

Argentinian Demichaeliston was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to steal the ball at the feet of Ronaldinho, the world's footballer of the year, which is not an opportunity that any player has, and it will surely make him famous.

But when Demichelis stretched out his leg to break the ball, and even when he was still concerned about lewdness, he should use inertia to knock down the Brazilian, so that he can be well restrained and not so ostentatious, Ronaldinho suddenly increased his pace and pushed the ball to his right side, which allowed the ball to avoid Demichelis's kick.

The ball went to the right side, Ronaldinho poked forward with his right foot, and the ball rolled forward gently like a straight line.

Frank Lampard rushed up from behind, and he didn't know how many times he had worked with Ronaldinho in the same combination, and the two had already worked together so well that he hardly needed any consideration when he came up, because he knew very well that Ronaldinho's passes could always reach his step, allowing him to volley more easily.

Standing firm, slamming his feet and exerting all his strength, Lampard unleashed a powerful volley before Lucio could get up.

The sound of the air popping from the shoes against the ball could be heard throughout the Olympic Stadium, and the shot seemed to hit everyone's heart, and the ball seemed to be mixed with a thunderous force, like a cannonball, straight into Kahn's goal.

The moment the whistle blew for the goal, all eyes were on Frank Lampard, who made a fist with his left hand and raised it high above his head, making a winning gesture, and they knew very well that the Blues' vice-captain was retaliating against Bayern Munich's brutal style of tactics and telling them with the facts that we don't need to be brutal, because that's what the underdog does

Chelsea's players also rushed to Frank Lampard's side, surrounded by this kind of goal celebration, and through this celebration of the goal, everyone felt that Chelsea was united and that they were fearless.

Aren't you going to be rude? Not to foul? Isn't it going to attack our body?

Come on, come on, we're not afraid at all

Because, we will destroy you with goals

It wasn't just a goal, the aggregate score was also a big psychological blow to the Bayern Munich players, especially when they collapsed and found that their so-called brave tactical style did not frighten the Chelsea players at all, but instead angered the Blue Lions from England, they didn't know what else they could do

yes, what do you do when you face a team like this?

But Chelsea are clearly not deflated, Deco found Ronaldinho with a diagonal pass, and after the Brazilian superstar quickly shook off Sagnol on the left, he crossed diagonally into the penalty area, Drogba grabbed ahead of Robert Kovac, shook his head and hit the goal, and blasted the ball into the top left corner of Kahn's handle, Kahn could do nothing about it, 0

After Drogba scored the goal, he slowly stood up from in front of Robert Kovac, clenched his hands into fists, let out a roar like a giant elephant, and glared at Robert Kovac angrily.

With less than 30 minutes left in the game from 4:I, it was clear to everyone at Bayern Munich that they could not turn the tide and could only choose to accept defeat in the end.

The scoreline was kept to its worst as Chelsea beat Bayern Munich on aggregate over two legs.

At the post-match press conference after this game, Ye Qiu was dissatisfied with Bayern Munich's brutal style.

'I'm happy with the performance of the team, we had difficulties in the game, but I and my players took the pressure very well, we were very united, like a family, and we played together in any problem, which is very good, and I firmly believe that if we stick to our beliefs and confidence, we can have the best laugh.'

As for Bayern Munich's head coach Magath, Ye Qiu also gave a rare sour evaluation.

"I finally know why Mr. Magath will never win even a championship trophy in his life, because as someone who can win at least one championship trophy every season, at least I will not focus all my energy on how to infringe on the body of the opposing player like he did, I will think about how to play my football well."

Magat, who was sitting next to Ye Qiu, had a pale face, but with an embarrassed face, he didn't dare to refute it, because he was not qualified to refute.

As a loser, you are not in any position to refute the words of the winner

And Ye Qiu didn't leave him the slightest face, and after complaining, he turned around and left the press conference.

It is understandable that he is in a bad mood, because in the final stage of the league, every player has more or less injuries, and now with Bayern Munich, the injuries on the Chelsea players will worsen, Ye Qiu is not sure, but Peter Brandt is not optimistic about Drogba's injury.

The Ivorians could hold on in the first half, but after scoring in the second half, in the 73rd minute, they finally couldn't hold on, raised their hands to ask Ye Qiu to replace, and limped off the field.

It's not that Ye Qiu didn't want to make a substitution in the first half, but Drogba said that he had nothing to do and could continue, and the team doctor felt that there was no problem, out of the needs of the team, Ye Qiu finally did not make the decision to make a substitution in the first half, and continued to let Drogba play after halftime, but he went off the field due to injury in the second half, which was definitely not expected by Ye Qiu.

Because of this, Ye Qiu was so bitter and mean to Magat, and even teased and ridiculed him for not winning a championship trophy in more than ten years of coaching, in other words, Ye Qiu would definitely not do this.

In fact, even Beckenbauer, when he was a guest commentator on the live TV broadcast, believed that Magath's tactics in this game were indeed very clumsy, while Chelsea showed the world's best level.

'Our players were very relaxed and not alert at all when defending, maybe they were thinking more about how to foul than defending, especially Robert Kovac, who was teased by Didier Drogba a lot during the game, which is definitely not what a Bayern Munich centre-back should be.

'Chelsea, on the other hand, are definitely one of the best teams in the world and I doubt even who else in football today can stop them from continuing to push towards the European throne?'

However, Beckenbauer supported Magath in the end, and he also defended Magath.

"Heathfield's U-year at Bayern Munich, with four league titles, a cup title and a Champions League title l, will certainly put some pressure on Magath, and Magath's highest achievement before taking charge of Bayern Munich was the league runner-up, and he is the first manager in almost two decades to use without winning any titles."

"At this point, Magath is under tremendous psychological pressure, and with the strength of Bayern Munich, the performance of the Bundesliga has been unable to meet the requirements of fans and management, what they want is the Champions League, to prove their strength in the European arena, to defend the dignity of the giants, and the first leg away defeat, undoubtedly made Magath almost collapsed."

"Therefore, in this situation, any decision he makes, he should be forgiven, and I also believe that Magath should continue to stay at Bayern Munich and we should continue to have trust and support for him"

For Chelsea to eliminate Bayern Munich again and successfully advance to the semi-finals, the European and world media generally gave a very high evaluation, believing that Chelsea is definitely the number one favorite in the Champions League this season, and even the odds of Chelsea winning the championship of bookmakers such as William Hill are constantly decreasing.

Almost the whole world believes that this season's Champions League will become Chelsea's bag, and Ye Qiu will lead Chelsea to become the first European hegemon to successfully defend the title since the Champions League restructuring, completely establishing Chelsea's status as a giant.

At the same time that Chelsea eliminated Bayern Munich, Porto and AC Milan also played very badly, and the two sides played a miserable score of 00 in both legs, but in the end, Mourinho's Porto was obviously more lucky, relying on a penalty shootout to defeat Carlo Ancelotti's AC Milan and successfully advance to the semi-finals.

Last season's Champions League champions and runners-up gathered in the semi-finals, which undoubtedly greatly increased the attention and influence of the semi-finals, although Mourinho's team has a rough style of play and an unbreakable defense, it is called the Champions League Greek team by the media, but the fighting power and willpower of this team should not be underestimated.

At the very least, after reaching the semi-finals of the Champions League for two consecutive seasons, Porto's performance is worthy of recognition, and even many people feel that Mourinho's Porto may not be as likely to be as upset as the Greek team to win the championship.

In the other semi-final, Liverpool eliminated Fabio Capello's Juventus on aggregate over two legs, and met Ajax who eliminated Lyon in the semi-finals.

Chelsea, Porto, Liverpool and Ajax are the undisputed favourites in every aspect of the four semi-final teams.

But when the outside world was more optimistic and touted, the more uneasy Ye Qiu's heart became.
