Chapter 380: The Hidden Truth Behind the Draw!
Milan were held to a draw away from Roma, and Inter took the opportunity to overtake the points and regain the top spot in the table. On the one hand, it dealt a blow to Milan's morale, and on the other hand, exposed the problems of Milan's defense. There is little hope for Milan's future.
It's not that Milan can't win at San Siro, it's that Bayern will get away goals at San Siro. As long as they get away goals and return to the Allianz Arena, they will surely break down Milan's weak backline amid the roar of the home fans. And can the horror trio save Milan at the Allianz Arena?
On the evening of March 3, the other two quarter-finals began. After 90 minutes of fierce battle, the Dutch powerhouse PSV Eindhoven was won by Liverpool with a score of 3-0 at home. The British media praised Liverpool, saying that they would achieve the glory of the 04-05 season, reach the Champions League final again, and win the Champions League.
Compared with Liverpool's big victory, Premier League giants Chelsea were forced to draw by Valencia, the only remaining member of La Liga, with a score of 1-1 at home. Could Inter's fate be repeating itself at Chelsea?
After the game, Mourinho was reprimanded by the British media, who told the media: "The fate of Inter will not repeat itself in us. I have a lot of experience in the Champions League and I know how to deal with it. ”
On the fourth day, the focus of the world will be on Italy, because the remaining two Champions League matches will be played tonight at the San Siro and the Olympic Stadium in Rome. What will Italy's two teams achieve?
Can Roma carry the momentum of a draw against Milan and beat Cristiano Ronaldo's Manchester United at home?
How many more away goals will Milan give Bayern?
……
At half past five in the evening of the 4th. Tang Jue sat on the sofa in the living room after dinner, and Alice made him a cup of green tea.
"Honey, they all say you have a problem at the back, you really can't keep Bayern from scoring at home?" Alice asked, leaning her head on Tang Jue's shoulder.
Tang Jue thought for a while and said, "Yes, our guard line does have a problem. ”
Alice said with some concern: "Then, your away game will be difficult. ”
Tang Jue shook his head and said: "I really didn't expect a draw, the outside world actually thinks that we can't get past Bayern." We beat them last year, and we can still win this year. ”
"They didn't do a good job of analysing the circumstances under which we were forced to draw by Rome. If either of me and Ronnie are on the pitch all the time. Do they still dare to go on a rampage? Compared to the two of us. Inzaghi is not a master of counter-attacking, he is not as fast as us. ”
Tang Jue said confidently. He never said this in front of the dressing room and the media, because it would cause turmoil in the Milan dressing room. Don was by no means a stupid man.
Tang Jue told a truth that was not paid attention to. He is extremely confident in beating Bayern. Didn't the media see this? Certainly not. A major Milan win is no longer news. Someone stopped their winning streak. That's the biggest news. So the media didn't pay attention to this truth at all.
……
At this time, Magath was discussing tonight's game with his assistant at the hotel. Magath has a worried look on his face: "Roma draw at home to Milan if they miss the season. At no time is this news. What does it mean that it has become the biggest news now? ”
"It shows that Milan is so strong that a draw has become big news."
Assistant Linora nodded and said, "That's true, we have a lot of luck tonight." ”
Magath nodded and said, "And they didn't pay attention to the circumstances under which Roma got this draw." Ronnie and Don came off on the field before Spalletti dared to let Roma attack. What does this mean? It shows that he knows the strength of these two people. ”
"At the beginning of the second half, Ronnie went off the field, Don was on the field, Spalletti did not let Roma attack with all his strength, but waited for Don to go off the field before directing the team to attack with all his strength. If Carlo Ancelotti keeps Don on the pitch for another ten minutes, will Roma have a chance of equalising? ”
Magath sighed: "Real Madrid sold Rooney was the biggest mistake, and Gagliari has had the best luck in the past two years. Buying a Don doesn't count, but also buying Ronnie. Ay...... Although there are problems in the backline, the current Milan attack is too strong......"
Linora asked worriedly, "Aren't you optimistic about us making the cut?" ”
Magath shook his head and said: "Emphasizing the strength of the opponent is not to say that we have no hope of qualifying, but to make us sober and not to be misled by the media." Only with a clear understanding of the opponent can we qualify. ”
The Germans were pragmatic, and Magath was just as pragmatic.
Linora nodded and said, "I see!" ”
Magath said: "Prepare for the game, since it is said that Milan have a weak backline, it is our chance. We cannot afford to pass up such an opportunity. ”
'It's not about who is strong at the back, it's about who scores the most goals. We couldn't stop the horror trio, and their defenders couldn't stop us from scoring! ”
Linora nodded, rehashing her plan for the pre-match preparations.
If Tang Jue heard Magath's remarks, he would definitely give him a thumbs up.
……
At half past seven in the evening, the media got the starting lists of both sides. Carlo Ancelotti used a centre-back combination of Maldini and Nesta, retaining the two full-backs against Roma. The midfield four are Milan's strongest at the moment, with Andrea Pirlo, Gattuso, Ambrosini and Kaka. Tang Jue and Ronnie played as strikers.
This list, which did not surprise the media, did not perform well in the match against Roma three days ago. Sitting on the bench is a matter of course, and they also see it as a form of protection for Ancelotti from Thuram.
Bayern's roster also did not surprise the media, with Kahn injured and Rensing as the starting goalkeeper. The four defenders are Sagnol, Lucio, Van Bitten, and Lahm; The midfield four are Salihamidzic, Otter, Hargreaves, Schweinsteiger; The two strikers are Mackay and Podolski.
This is Bayern's strongest squad at the moment.
At this time, the home team dressing room. Ancelotti began to boost the morale of his players after arranging his tactics: "We have to get out of the game against Roma, that is a thing of the past. ”
"There is no room for mistakes in the Champions League, you have to be up to 12 points."
"This is the San Siro and the fans want you to give them a win!"
The draw with Roma and Milan's morale is low and Milan really need encouragement. Maldini exclaimed: "We are aiming for a double and tonight is a test. Brothers, we are the best team, no one can beat us! ”
Gattuso yelled, "Raise your head." We are Milan. For the sake of the robes on the body. We should be proud to beat our opponents in the game! ”
Tang Jue said: "Bayern is not our opponent, our goal has always been firm. Brothers, twenty-nine wins in a row, many people think it was a miracle. That's what we created! ”
"A man who can do miracles. It's not human anymore. We are God. The gods on the field, only gods can create miracles! ”
Gattuso shouted, "Don is right, we are the gods on the court. No one can stop us! ”
The air in the Milan dressing room began to change. The battle intent slowly crawled out of his eyes. Yes, twenty-nine consecutive wins, that's a miracle, creating such a miracle, who else can stop Milan from moving forward?
……
Away team locker room.
Magath said: "This season, no team has won at the San Siro and tonight we are aiming to score away goals. You have to score away goals, the more the better. ”
"I trust you, you will not disappoint the Bayern fans!"
……
The starters of both sides walked out of the locker room, and Ancelotti patted Tang Jue on the shoulder and said: "Don, I will watch you score from the sidelines!" ”
Tang Jue showed his white teeth and said with a smile: "I think so too." Coach, don't replace me early today, let me play a good game. ”
Carlo Ancelotti shook his head and said: "If you haven't scored in the fifteenth minute of the second half, I'll let you off." ”
When Tang Jue heard this, he was happy and said, "Okay, let's make a decision!" ”
Ancelotti looked at Tang Jue, patted him on the shoulder and nodded, he really likes this kind of confident player. What's more, this kind of self-confidence is based on merit.
Podolsky looked excited, he was looking for Tang Jue. In the selection of the best newcomer in the World Cup, he lost to Tang Jue. At that time, Podolsky was not unconvinced, after all, Tang Jue's performance was better than his. It turned out to be true later, Tang Jue defeated Italy in the final and helped France win the Hercules Cup for the second time in history.
Podolski sees tonight as an opportunity to clash with Tang Jue at the San Siro to see who is the best striker tonight.
When Tang Jue came out of the locker room, Podolsky's eyes lit up, there was excitement, expectation, and worry, but he didn't step forward to greet Tang Jue. Tang Jue has always been strong and proud in front of the media, and Podolsky is afraid that Tang Jue will embarrass him. What he didn't expect was that Tang Jue actually walked towards him.
"Hey! You okay? Tang Jue and Podolsky hugged gently.
As soon as Tang Jue came out of the locker room, he saw that Podolsky was looking at him, and similarly, he saw the mixed emotions in his eyes. They are all young people, it is good to get to know each other, this is the first time Tang Jue has met Podolsky.
"Good. Don, do you know the truth, I'm excited tonight, and the thought of playing against you makes me excited. Podolsky said quickly in Tang Jue's ear. He really didn't expect Tang Jue to take the initiative to come up, which was different from what the media described.
Podolski was really excited to hug the youngest world footballer in the world today.
Don chuckled, patted Podolski, and returned to Milan's team. Kaka asked strangely, "Don, what did you tell him?" He was so excited, like a woman seeing her lover! ”
Tang Jue glanced at Kaka angrily, and slowly told Kaka what the two said. Kaka smiled and said in Tang Jue's ear: "Listen, 'Tang, do you know the truth, I'm very excited tonight, and I will be excited when I think of competing with you." If the word 'competition' in this sentence is replaced by 'go to bed', it is not what I said. ”
Then Kaka said solemnly: "Don, play with Inter, you said that Inter is a peerless beauty, you have to conquer her." Now, there is someone waiting for you to conquer! ”
After saying that, Kaka Dalu laughed!
Kaka's laughter attracted the attention of the players on both sides, and the Bayern players looked at him unkindly, the big battle was imminent, and he laughed so loudly, then, you didn't look at us at all. Damn, I'm going to give you a little bit of color!
Tang Jue looked at Kaka viciously, and then Podolsky looked at it again, his eyes still excited. Kaka leaned on Tang Jue's shoulder and said, "See, he's looking at you excitedly again." Don, are you ready? ”
Kaka laughed again, and the Bayern players looked even more unkindly. (To be continued......)
