Chapter 442: Magical Ajax
PS: This is the 71000 recommended addition, the next addition is recommended at 73000, I hope you will support more.
After the 7-0 win over AC Milan, not to mention how Sacchi will face the media and fans, the Fiorentina team rushed back to Fiorentina in the team bus immediately after the post-match press conference.
The players back in Fiorentina were given a day of free time before they were ready to dive into intense preparations for the game as Fiorentina host Milan veteran Carlo Ancelotti at home to a Parma side led by Milan veteran Carlo Ancelotti.
If Fiorentina has a grudge against Saki so much to play the game, then Ancelotti, who has an old grudge against Capello, will naturally not easily give Fiorentina the road to winning the championship, although the current Parma almost has no hope of winning the league at all, but Ancelotti is full of energy to give Capello a good look.
Therefore, the match against Parma is absolutely careless.
While the Fiorentina players were sweating on the training pitch in preparation for the match against Parma, the two teams that had reached the last four of the Champions League were finally announced, with Borussia Dortmund from the Bundesliga and Dutch giants Ajax as the winners.
Facing Monaco, who have reached the semi-finals of the Champions League twice in the past three years, Heathfield, who suffered a big loss at the hands of Fiorentina last season, was very cautious this time, first leading Borussia Dortmund to a counter-attack at Monaco's home stadium, luring Arsene Wenger's side to press the attack at the Louis II Stadium, and then relying on two Italian-style defensive counter-attacks to win 2-1.
Then, in the second leg at the Westphalia Stadium, the Monegasque players were completely stunned by the cheers of the Dortmund fans, with Riedel and Chap Issat scoring a goal each to lead Dortmund to the semi-finals of the Champions League.
Bayern Munich, the other team from the Bundesliga, was more sad in the quarter-finals, although Trapattoni's side beat Ajax 3-0 in the first leg and could be said to have one foot in the semi-finals.
However, the hard-nosed Louis van Gaal did not give in and the Dutch coach pulled off a stunning comeback at the Olympic Stadium in Munich with a vote from the Ajax players.
Ajax played one of the best games of the season, with Inzaghi Jr. showing no less goalscoring talent than his brother, scoring a hat-trick with just 25 minutes to put the two teams back on the same page.
Bayern was stunned by Ajax's three stunted sticks, although then they came back to their senses in Trapattoni's anxious roar and launched a tidal counterattack, but Ajax, who has never been good at defense, also played at a super level this time, and the back line led by the veteran Blind and Frank de Boer blocked Bayern's tidal wave of attacks countless times, and Van der Sar's steady play on the goal line made the Bayern players who finally broke through the defense of Blind can only look at the door and sigh.
The biggest turning point of the game came in the 62nd minute, when Bayern won a corner kick opportunity, and Mateus, who had been staying in the backline, also ran into the Ajax penalty area to participate in the attack, and Materazzi, who had defended Mateusz in the past, did not know what to say next to the German, which made Mateus angry and punched the latter.
As a result, Materazzi fell to the ground immediately after being hit with a fist, and the referee, who noticed that there was an unusual situation on the court, quickly ran to the scene of the incident.
After watching the slow-motion replay, the referee did not hesitate to impose capital punishment on the perpetrator Mateus - a red card!
After Mateus was sent off, the situation on the field reversed, and Ajax, who had been almost out of breath by Bayern's counterattack, began to gradually take the initiative of the game.
Although Bayern later set up Helmer to pull one back in the 86th minute with a free-kick in front of Helmer by Basler, the Bayern players were not happy about this - Bayern Munich, who were missing the needle, had already been beaten for the fourth time by Inzaghi Jr., who was in great form ten minutes earlier, with a corner kick opportunity.
After that, in only a few minutes remaining, although the Germans did not give up the game because of the three-goal difference, Bayern Munich, who fought with ten men, failed to break through the door of Ajax again, and the Dutchman, who has always been criticized for their ability to play tough battles, showed defensive intensity comparable to the Italian level in Van Gaal's roar, and stubbornly withstood the madness of the German Zuihou and dragged the game to the final whistle.
In the end, the united Ajax beat Bayern four to one in Munich, and advanced to the Champions League semi-finals with more away goals in the case of a draw on aggregate!
At the post-match press conference, Mateus was asked what Materazzi had said at the time, but the German made it clear that he refused to answer the question, saying only that he would never forgive Materazzi......
Materazzi was also silent on the issue, with the Italian centre-back stating that he is Rodman on the pitch: "I think I'm a bit like Rodman, he's two people on and off the pitch. Being fierce on the field doesn't mean you're necessarily a heinous villain off the field, and anyone who knows me knows that I'm a good guy off the field. ”
However, fans who like Mateus and Bayern Munich will obviously not change their opinion of Materazzi because of his words, and UEFA will not let this make a fool of him: a day after Bayern's elimination, the UEFA Disciplinary Committee suspended Materazzi for one match in the Champions League for "insulting words".
Materazzi certainly didn't have a chance to appeal, after all, Bayern's boss Beckenbauer's influence in UEFA is not something that a young player like him can compete with.
In any case, Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich ultimately failed to achieve their dream of a Bundesliga civil war in the Champions League semi-finals, much to the regret of many fans.
When Zhuang Mingge learned that Materazzi had succeeded in angering Mateus with just his sharp mouth and led to the Bayern captain and spiritual leader being sent off with a red card, the whole person was Spartan.
It turns out that Materazzi has such skills at this time! It's no wonder that in the previous life, Zidane, Del Vecchio and other stars were able to fall one after another.
Of course, the consequences of not leaving a moral point of mouth are also very serious, and Materazzi later provoked Ibrahimovic with the same move in the match, only to be beaten into shock by the Swedish Divine Tower with a taekwondo-like volley during a head-on collision between the two.
Therefore, provocation also depends on the object, if it is an artistic master like Figo and Zidane, their revenge is at most a punch or a head hammer to you; But if it's players like Keane, Patrick Vieira, Ibrahimovic, it's your luck if you don't get kicked......
