Chapter 372 - Sino-Italian Football Friendly Match!!
While Chelsea beat Juventus 3-0, 2-1 and 5-1 on aggregate against the visitors, the other three pairs were also decided.
Bayern Munich has achieved a big comeback at home! In the 14th minute of the game, Thiago opened the scoring for Bayern, and this also opened the prelude to this goal battle.
It was a beautiful team combination, Raphinha crossed the penalty area at 45 degrees on the right, Gotze took the ball at the back point and handed it to Bernat on the left, Bernat crossed the bottom, and Thiago shook his head in front of the lion to score the ball!
Bayern 1-0 Porto! In the 22nd minute, Bayern scored again. Bayern took a corner kick from the right side, Bad Stuber's header was ferried to Boateng in front of the goal, and Boateng broke the net with a header in the air relay!
Bayern 2-0 Porto! In the 27th minute, Bayern extended the score! Lahm crosses from the right, Muller cushions the ball to Laiwan in front of the goal, Laiwan flicks his header and scores!
Bayern 3-0 Porto! In the 36th minute, Bayern made a steal in the midfield, and Muller took a long shot in front of the penalty area after receiving the ball from his teammates, and the ball hit Indy's leg and changed the line and refracted into the net!
Bayern 4-0 Porto! In the 40th minute, Bayern scored again! Muller inverted triangle pass near the bottom line on the right side of the penalty area, and easily scored the ball near the penalty spot!
Bayern 5-0 Porto! After the rematch, it was not until the 73rd minute that Porto pulled a goal back.
HΓ©ctor Herrera sends in a cross from the right and Jackma flanks it in front of goal! Bayern 5-1 Porto!
In the 88th minute, Marcano tackled Thiago in front of the penalty area and received his second yellow card of the game, so two yellows turned into one red and he was sent off.
Bayern won a free-kick at the edge of the penalty area, Alonso took the penalty straight at goal, and the ball flew through the colorful night sky of Allianz and flew into the door!
Bayern 6-1 Porto! In the end, Bayern defeated Porto 6-1 at home, thus reversing the overall score of 7-4 to advance!
It was also the first time in Bayern's history that Bayern had come back from 3-1 down in the first leg of the Champions League.
Barcelona, who won the first leg, had an easier path to qualify. After they returned to their home stadium, they beat Monaco 2-0 with Neymar's brace and entered the semi-finals.
The final semi-final spot will be decided between the Madrid giants. In the first half, both sides were scoreless at the Bernabeu Stadium, and in the second half, Alda Turan was sent off for accumulating two yellow cards.
In the 88th minute of the game, Real Madrid finally broke the deadlock. Ronaldo took the ball on the right side and crossed to J Ronaldo, J Ronaldo then went straight to Ronaldo, Ronaldo relied on Miranda to cross-cut, and at the moment of falling to the ground, he crossed to Little Pea Hernandez, who pushed the empty goal and scored, 1-0!
In the end, Real Madrid defeated Atletico Madrid 1-0 at home, and eliminated Atletico Madrid with an aggregate score of 1-0 over two legs to advance to the semi-finals.
This is the fifth consecutive season for Real Madrid to break into the Champions League semi-finals, and it is also the first victory against Atletico Madrid in the last 8 same-city derbies!
Therefore, the last teams to enter the last four of this season's Champions League are Chelsea, Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Bayern Munich!
These are the four strongest club teams in the world at the moment, as they are called
"Samaranch"! This is really a rare event in the Champions League in recent years. It is for this reason that the draw for the semi-finals, which will be held on February 24, is particularly interesting.
What kind of two-to-two matchup will these four teams form? Will it be Pan Yi and Pep Guardiola meeting as promised, and Barcelona and Real Madrid staging a national derby?
Or will Pep Guardiola return to his home at Camp Nou to face his old master, and Pan Yi will fight Real Madrid again? Even if Chelsea plays Barcelona and Real Madrid plays Bayern, it is also very interesting!
In a word, the four teams are all the top teams, and they are indeed eye-catching enough no matter how they are arranged! In this regard, the newspaper Marca also conducted a poll.
The attitude of the Spanish fans is very clear that the last thing they want is a national derby. Real Madrid fans are most interested in drawing Chelsea, with 60.4% hoping to meet Pan Yi again to avenge last season's Champions League final defeat β even though Pan Yi was with Hamburg last season.
20.2% of the fans chose to draw Bayern, and 19.4% chose to draw Barcelona.
54.5 per cent of Barcelona fans want to draw Bayern, 27 per cent want Chelsea and 18.5 per cent want Real Madrid.
It seems that the national derby has been staged too many times in recent years, so Real Madrid and Barcelona fans want to draw foreign teams.
Barcelona fans want to draw Bayern the most, but Guardiola said in an interview with Daily Sport that he doesn't want to draw Barcelona the most.
Daily Sport also pointed out on the front page that Barcelona players also generally want to draw Bayern.
Because Barcelona doesn't like to play the team led by Pan Yi, because they sometimes play very sharp anti-counter-attacking tactics, which is what Barcelona hates the most.
Real Madrid have also been tough in the national derby. Bayern are now plagued by some injuries and Barcelona are hoping to get back to the past
The enmity of "Seven Joys"! But what the final result will be depends on the results of the actual draw. On April 24, ----------------- at 12 o'clock in Nyon, Switzerland, the draw for the semi-finals of the 2014-2015 UEFA Champions League was held as scheduled at UEFA headquarters.
On the table in the middle, the Big Ear Cup has been placed, and the introduction of the top four teams is playing on the big screen.
A short film on the big screen called The Road to Berlin was shown, and the highlights of the four teams were impressive.
The four finalists are all former champions except Chelsea, and have won the Big Ears Cup a total of 19 times.
La Liga, which occupies half of the country, once again showed the advantage of the top spot in the UEFA standings, and it is not clear whether La Liga would have occupied three places in the last four if it were not for the Madrid duo meeting too early.
Bayern Munich and Chelsea represent the Bundesliga and the Premier League respectively. Then, UEFA Secretary-General Gianni Infantino came to the stage to greet all the club representatives and guests present.
The special guest drawn at today's draw ceremony is still former Borussia Dortmund striker and Germany international Riddle.
Riddle drew Barcelona first. His opponents are...... Bayern! This pair of old enemies reunited again.
Then, another pair naturally came out, and that was Chelsea vs. Real Madrid! Pan Yi will also face Carlo Ancelotti again.
In last season's Champions League final, Pan Yi's Hamburg defeated Real Madrid led by Carlo Ancelotti to win the Champions League!
Now, they're going to meet again. At this time, in front of the stage, representatives of the four teams were invited.
All four teams are represented by former greats, Barcelona's Giuli, Chelsea's Zola, Bayern's Brittner and Real Madrid's Butragueno.
All four agreed that the semi-final clash would be a very balanced and evenly contested contest, with Zola ending with a humor: "Our four teams have won 19 Champions League titles in total, which is really good. β
"I hope that after this tournament, this number will increase to 20 and a new champion team will be added!" Then, the draw ceremony ended.
The teams undoubtedly have their own agendas, but one thing they have in common is that they are all ready to beat two strong opponents in quick succession and finally reach the top of Europe!
----------------- Pan Yi also completed an important personal game before ushering in the Champions League
"Match". That's between him and Valentina
"Sino-Italian Football Friendly Match". How to say it, the words have already been spread out that day, and it would be too rude if the two sides did not further carry out a live gun drill.
So, after Valentina returned to England, she did not go back to Yorkshire first, but went to Pan Yi's home in London.
The two sides had a friendly exchange in simple terms and learned from each other to grow together. This is the process of learning...... Say what it is
"Sino-Italian Football Friendly Match", but everyone who understands it, after all, this has little to do with real football, presumably no one wants to watch it, so I will skip it first.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦ Forget it, considering that some people will say, "Am I the one who lacks this bit of traffic?" β
"Is there an extra charge? Can I v you 50? β
"It's all skipped, it's too much to see the outside brother...... "Let's describe the whole process in detail."
FBIWARNING: The following content is too exciting, please watch it with children over the age of 18.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
"The match between the Dragons and Italy is about to start."
"The head coach of the Dragon Country team is Pan Yi, and the head coach of the Italian team is Valentina."
"The Dragon Nation team took the lead in attacking. The attack went very well, they first broke through the Italian team's front defense, then the midfield defense, and finally the Italian back line was directly torn apart! β
"Ah, what's going on with the Italian team, they took the initiative to withdraw all the defenders in front of the penalty area, and now the goal is completely exposed in front of the Dragons! It's a bit of a match-fixing. β
"The striker of the Dragon Country team is a little excited to face such an opportunity, but also a little nervous."
"But he still burst through with the ball! He's ready to go in! Get ready to enter the restricted area! β
"However, at this time, the Italian defenders appeared again! He gave the Dragons a hug! Isn't that a foul? The dragon country forwards are ready to shoot! β
"Obviously, the Italian defense is very fragile at this time, and even if you use the cuddle foul tactic, you can't stop the advance of the dragon forward!"
"The Dragon Country striker is very tough, strong, and has high morale, and he is brave and forward! As soon as he rushed forward, he shook off the Italian defense, went straight into the penalty area, and shot! β
"The ball is in!! The Dragons opened the scoring! This is the first time in the history of this Italian team that the goal has been breached, and the whole team looks a little painful and bitter! β
"But the Dragons were clearly reasonable, and they immediately slowed down their offensive and started to work together in small areas of the pitch."
"The Italian players were clearly paralyzed, and they were no longer nervous, but instead catered to the Dragons' attack, putting up a feeble and futile resistance."
"The Dragon Nation team sees that the time has come to launch an attack on the hinterland of Italy again! Keep shooting! β
"The Italian team looks like they can't resist! They were even ready to give up resistance, offering to give up the game! What an act of surrender? β
"But the Dragons decisively rejected the surrender of the Italian team! They are now ready to fly, and it is impossible to stop! β
"The Dragon Nation continues to attack! And the offensive firepower is getting more and more intense! β
"The Italian team has offered to surrender again!"
Once again, the Dragons brutally rejected this inexplicable request. The people of the dragon country know that the Italian team is now saying that they are going to surrender, but in fact they just want to lose a few more goals! Italians, everyone who understands understands. β
"The Dragons have shot in a row, scored in a row!"
"Italy has been completely routed and defenseless."
In the end, the Italian coach let out a scream, and the Dragons also ended all the attacks with a powerful world wave. It also marked the end of the 20-minute match. β
"What, don't football games, you ask, all 90 minutes? Today's friendly is a special rule and the referee can terminate the game at any time as long as both sides allow it. β
"Of course, the two sides can rest for a while and play the next friendly match immediately, but this mainly depends on the physical recovery of the players of the Dragon Country."
"Congratulations, the Dragon Country team has won this friendly match between China and Italy!"
"Ah, I don't know when it started raining, and now the Italian team is flooded with water in front of the goal...... "-----------------The two legs of the Champions League semi-final will be played on May 6 and May 13 respectively, and Chelsea will have a number of Premier League games before that.
On 26 April, Chelsea travelled to Queens Park Rangers. QPR has been hovering back in the relegation zone this season, sitting second from bottom with only 25 points after 32 rounds, and there is a big risk of relegation.
So even against Premier League champions Chelsea, they were still full of fighting spirit and played very aggressive football.
Chelsea, who are relaxed in their mentality, are not so comfortable. However, after all, there is still a certain gap between the two sides in terms of strength, and QPR has failed to knock on Chelsea's door despite all its might.
Instead, in the 75th minute, Chelsea took advantage of a quick counter-attack to break through Gnabry and cross down the middle, where Bamford headed home to make it 1-0.
And that scoreline remained until the end of the game, when Chelsea once again took all three points! β¦β¦ On April 30, in the 34th round of the Premier League, Chelsea challenged Lyicester City away at the King Power Stadium.
Pan Yi also fought against his former disciple Vardy again. However, Lyicester City are not in good shape lately, and they are also a team in the relegation zone.
They are just two points clear of Queens Park Rangers and sit third from bottom in the table. Chelsea's all-time record against Lyicester City is also superior, with 103 all-time meetings between the two sides, with Chelsea holding the advantage of 50 wins, 29 draws and 24 defeats.
And Chelsea have won their last seven meetings against Lyicester City, with Lyicester last beating Chelsea in 2001.
However, today's game was also played in a heavy rain, which also limited the performance of the technical players in the Chelsea squad.
The league leaders failed to create chances in the first 15 minutes, but Lyicester City's counter-attack was quite threatening, Cambiaso's through ball and Ulloa's successful anti-offside volley was slightly missed.
However, the slippery pitch dealt a blow to Lyicester City, with Andy King and Hout going off injured within five minutes.
However, despite the loss of two big players, Lyrcester broke the deadlock in stoppage time of the first half. Matthew James crossed from the left side of the box from Jamie Dardy's cross from the left side of the box, Azpilicueta, who was on the fence of Ulloa, slipped and Albrighton slotted home from 10 yards.
1-0, Lyicester City led Chelsea at half-time. However, Chelsea, who played more aggressively in the second half, equalised in the 48th minute.
Hazard picked up a pass, Yin Wanovic cut into the right side of the penalty area and returned the pass, and Lukaku swept into the far corner from 8 yards out, 1:1.
Chelsea took the lead in the 79th minute. Eden Hazard took a corner, Cahill flicked his header from the edge of the six-yard box and Schmeichel was barely saved, and Terry stabbed into the net from close range before Cambiaso, and the score became 1:2!
The Chelsea captain also equalled the Premier League defender's record for goals with 38 league goals, held by Unsworth!
Chelsea doubled the lead in the 83rd minute when Eden Hazard crossed back from the right side of the box and Ramires fired a left-footed shot into the top left corner from the edge of the box to make it 3-1.
The visiting Chelsea fans even sang the ballad: "Boring, boring, Chelsea. It's so easy to win the championship, it's boring...... "...... On 3 May, Chelsea returned to Stamford Bridge to host Crystal Palace.
In the history of the meetings between the two teams, Chelsea also have the absolute advantage. Chelsea have lost just one of their last 14 league games against Crystal Palace, and have won seven and drawn four of their last 11 home games against Crystal Palace, whose last league win was in the second division in 1982.
The two sides have met 41 times in history, with Chelsea holding the upper hand with 18 wins, 15 draws and 8 defeats. And this game is not as tense as the first two games.
Crystal Palace is now ranked 12th, which is in a state where there is no hope of fighting for Europe and no worries about relegation; Chelsea, on the other hand, have won the title early and head to the Santiago Bernabeu for the first leg of their Champions League semi-final in three days' time, so we don't want any surprises.
As this game was Chelsea's first home game since winning the title early, there were plenty of championship merchandise for sale outside Stamford Bridge, with Chelsea fans waving trophy models and the game in a celebratory atmosphere.
The opening game was not too intense and neither side was able to create too many scoring chances. In the 15th minute, Chelsea's tactical free-kick combination lacked threat and Mikel fired high from distance.
In the 19th minute, Chelsea pressed from a set-piece, Cancelo had his shot from a tight angle saved, and Cahill's header was denied by Speroni.
In the 28th minute, Jesse Lingard's free-kick from the edge of the box on the left was saved by Speroni and Kurt Zouma missed a follow-up shot.
In the 31st minute, Crystal Palace's shot from 12 yards was also blocked by Zouma, and the Palace player complained about a handball foul by Zouma, but the referee refused to award a penalty.
In the 40th minute, Jesse Lingard combined with Bamford to kick the wall and then fired a left-footed volley from inside the penalty area, and Cesar Azpilicueta followed up and shot wide.
Chelsea break the deadlock in the 45th minute! Jesse Lingard burst into the left side of the box and was tripped by Macarthur and his own penalty was saved by Speroni before he headed into the back of the net.
The score was 1-0 and Chelsea led at half-time. Crystal Palace began to lose their rhythm in the second half, with Chelsea in control.
First Yovanovic fired narrowly wide from 30 yards, then Mikel linked up with Bamford to kick the wall and fired a low shot from the edge of the box.
Palace also had a chance when Wilfried Zaha delivered a through ball but the unguarded Sanogo missed it on the right side of the box.
In the 67th minute, Cahill's free-kick scuffle was blocked by Ward, and Yovanovic fired a left-footed volley wide from 12 yards on the right side of the box.
In the 74th minute, Willian crossed from the right and Bamford fired wide of the right post from 14 yards. Then, Zaha's shot from a tight angle on the right side of the box was also blocked by Courtois.
In the closing stages of the game, Chelsea slowed down the tempo and Palace seemed to have no intention of fighting, with the Palace fans singing the ballad again: "Boredom, boredom, Chelsea. It's boring to win slowly......" Jesse Lingard was substituted in stoppage time and the crowd stood up and applauded the scorer.
At the same time as the final whistle sounded, Stamford Bridge was boiling and the whole stadium sounded
The hymn to "We are the champions"! At the same time, they also ended the pre-Champions League competition with a wave of three consecutive wins.
At the end of 35 rounds, Chelsea is unbeaten with 32 wins and 3 draws, and the points have reached an astonishing 99 points!
This result has also allowed Chelsea to break a number of records with three rounds of league games to go.
The first is that the points have been confirmed to be the highest in the history of the Premier League. Prior to this season, the highest number of Premier League titles was won by Chelsea in 2004/05, when they won the title by 95 points.
Chelsea's 32 wins in a single season today also set a new record in the English top flight, following Tottenham's record of 31 in the 1960s.
In addition, 17 wins at home is the highest in the history of the Premier League, and 15 wins and 3 draws away from home with 48 points are also the highest in history!
And the league isn't over yet...... In other words, Chelsea can push these records even higher!
While Chelsea set these records, the big-six behind them were fighting for a Champions League spot.
The first to go ashore was Arsenal! I didn't expect that. Their recent form has been excellent, with a 3-0 win over West Ham United, 2-1 Newcastle United and a 4-1 thrashing of Liverpool, bringing them to 71 points, one point above Manchester City.
Manchester City, on the other hand, lost 4-2 to Manchester United in the Manchester derby and are now third with 70 points.
Manchester United are fourth with 65 points. With fifth-placed Liverpool on just 61 points, with only three league games to go, it is impossible for them to catch up with Arsenal, who are 10 points ahead of them.
As a result, Arsenal have secured qualification for next season's Champions League. Manchester City, on the other hand, have the potential to be pulled out of the Champions League next season due to their goal difference, but in fact they can also qualify for next season's Champions League.
The final Champions League will then be between Manchester United with 65 points, Liverpool with 61 points, Tottenham Hotspur with 58 points and Southampton with 57 points.
However, considering that Manchester United's opponents in the last three rounds are Crystal Palace and Hull City, two weak teams, as well as Arsenal, an opponent who has already landed, it is estimated that it is unlikely to overturn.
At most, Liverpool still have a glimmer of hope, while Tottenham and Southampton should be comfortable in their fight for Europa League qualification.
In the relegation zone, although Lyicester City lost to Chelsea, they won 3-0 against Newcastle United in the next round, which gave them the initiative to relegation.
Burnley, who are currently in the bottom of the table, have 26 points, and Queens Park Rangers are in the bottom of the table with 27 points, and it looks like they should be doomed to relegation.
In front of them, Leicester City, Hull City, and Sunderland have 34 points, and it is theoretically necessary to pick one of them
The "lucky one" went to the Championship to settle down. Of course, this kind of joys and sorrows that will be staged in every league and at the end of every season have nothing to do with the current Chelsea and Pan Yi.
The title has been won, the record has been broken, and their eyes have long since stopped looking at the Premier League. They now have only one goal, and that is an away match in the first leg of the Champions League semi-final on 6 May!
