In the following game, although Real Madrid struggled to get a goal back as much as possible, they were unable to do so. In the case of recovering the defense, Chiellini's frontal defensive ability showed quite well. Excellent, he made two clearances in just a few minutes, protecting Inter Milan's defense very well. When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, the Real Madrid fans sat down in despair!
One to three at home For a two-round knockout round, this score can almost be a death sentence for the home team. Even if they win 2-0 in the away game, they will not be able to qualify. If they want to advance, they have to win three goals or score. It is not that Real Madrid does not have the ability to win by two goals with more than four goals, but judging from the performance of both sides in this game, I am afraid that even the most optimistic Real Madrid fans do not think Real Madrid has the ability to do this.
"Every time I return to Madrid, it's like returning to my own home. Thank you to Atletico Madrid fans for supporting me like this. I also believe that Atletico Madrid will get out of the trough next. A temporary downturn cannot defeat Atletico Madrid. , Tenacious rise is the spirit of Atletico Madrid.¡±
At the press conference, Dick just expressed his gratitude to Atletico Madrid. As for the game, he only said: "The Champions League is not over yet, will it qualify? It will not happen until after the second round. result."
However, although Dick said it lightly at the press conference, the game eventually caused considerable consequences. Florentino took the blame and resigned. The decline in Real Madrid's performance in the past few years has put a lot of pressure on him. Carlo also submitted his resignation, but it was rejected by Real Madrid - not that they would support Carlo, but because they don't have any good choices now. Instead of changing coaches now, it is better to wait until the end of the season. Hire a top coach. The change of three coaches last season greatly damaged Real Madrid's vitality. Real Madrid naturally does not want to see further turmoil.
Dick doesn¡¯t care about this. The more chaotic Real Madrid is, the greater the chance they will advance.
Inter Milan returned to Milan and received a warm welcome from the fans - they were the best performer among the three Serie A teams participating in the Champions League this time. AC Milan drew with Bayern one to one in the away game, and Juventus unexpectedly lost 3-2 to Werder Bremen on the road. Because the Milan duo played at home in the second leg, after negotiation, Inter Milan¡¯s home game against Real Madrid will be Postponing the game for a week is no problem for Dick, and postponing the game for a week will allow Inter Milan to better concentrate on the league.
Inter Milan fans began to ridicule Juventus mercilessly - why are they still defending the honor of Serie A in the Champions League like this? Just like how you played against Werder Bremen, you were able to perform so well in the league, and you said that the referee didn't pay attention to you!
Amidst such back and forth, Serie A ushered in the twenty-seventh round of the game. Although Dick was still suspended for this game, and although Inter Milan rotated many main players, they still performed well in this game. Very outstanding!
Facing the strong Udinese, Inter Milan finally defeated their opponent with a score of 4 to 1. Toni scored twice, Yaya Toure and Perrotta also scored, and Udinese only Iaquinta got a point back in the second half.
Juventus, who had failed in the European competition, performed well after returning to China. Facing Lecce, who was deep in the relegation zone, they won with a score of three to one and continued to lead Inter Milan by one point.
In other games, Roma began to come into people's sight-when Inter Milan and Juventus were engaged in an earth-shaking war of words, Roma had quietly won ten consecutive victories. In this round of the league , they defeated Lazio with two goals away in the Rome Derby and achieved 11 consecutive victories, only one game left from Inter Milan's previous record of 12 consecutive victories!
"Is this a record-breaking season? It's incredible" The media began to exclaim after discovering this. This season's Serie A is extremely lively, with big news emerging one after another, which makes them a little bit unbearable
"Now that we have the opportunity to break the record, we will try our best to do it. Our performance at the beginning of this season was not very good, but in the current game we have returned to the top four positions. This makes us "It's always difficult to get back on track after a chaotic season. Fortunately we did it and I'm proud of the performance of the players." replied during the interview.
"Your opponent in the next round happens to be the record holder Inter Milan" the reporter reminded him.
"Since Inter Milan can create a new record after defeating the record holder AC Milan, then I think we can do it too." Spalletti said??still showed his edge.
"Have they won eleven games in a row?"
Dick asked a rhetorical question during the interview. After getting the exact answer, he nodded thoughtfully: "There are still two games left. Even if we lose this one, they have to win again." It takes one game to create a new record, otherwise it will just be a tie.¡±
Dick seemed to have brought this topic up lightly, but on the training ground, he responded to the matter with a fierce attitude: "Roma will not be our competitor this season, but you know, we created This record cannot be coveted by others! This game is an away game against Roma. We can win or draw, but we must not lose!¡±
It makes sense for Dick to yell such a slogan. Roma is in really good shape now. Their winning streak has brought their state to a peak. Moreover, they are not involved in European competitions and can devote all their attention to it. In the league, even a draw in this game is acceptable. A point is a point. Even if Juventus wins, it is only three points ahead of Inter Milan. There is no need to worry too much, and there is no need to force it. Attack to win. In this league, any point will be very important.
The postponement of the Champions League has given Inter Milan a chance to breathe. Inter Milan was in good shape before, but it has been in an ups and downs recently. Now that it can rest more, it is also a way to accumulate strength before the final sprint.
On March 5, at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome, Dick led his team to take a point away from home as he wished - goals from Tony and Sneijder gave Inter Milan a 2-1 lead, but Totti and De Rossi The goal gave Roma the lead again, and they kept the score until the 89th minute. Just when the Roma fans were preparing to celebrate their 12th consecutive victory, Figo, who came on as a substitute, sent a beautiful goal The corner kick was passed, and Materazzi, who assisted, beat Mexes with a header and scored, bringing the score back!
The ending of a three-to-three draw allowed Inter Milan to struggle to grab a point from the away game, and also put an end to Roma's hopes of tying and setting a new record!
"It's a good idea to set a record, but unfortunately the schedule is not very good for Roma." Dick said proudly at the post-match press conference, which made the Roma fans itch with hatred - Isn't it just a draw? In this round, Juventus defeated Sampdoria 1-0 away from home, once again leading you by three points
¡°Juventus is already three points ahead of Inter Milan, aren¡¯t you worried?¡± A reporter stood up and asked.
"What do I have to worry about? Their form has declined, but ours is gradually improving! There are still ten rounds in the league, and it's only three points. We can get it back in one game!"
Dick seemed nonchalant, and Inter Milan returned to Milan after playing this game - they have no tasks this week, while Juventus and AC Milan will play in the Champions League.
Juventus and AC Milan did not disappoint Serie A fans. They both eliminated two teams from the Bundesliga. Juventus defeated Werder Bremen 2-1 at home and entered the eighth round with the advantage of more away goals. Strong, and AC Milan played a beautiful game at home. They swept Bayern 4-1 and also entered the quarterfinals!
In other games, Arsenal defeated Ajax, but Liverpool failed. After losing 0-2 at home to Benfica, they were eliminated with a score of 0-3 in two rounds, while Chelsea lost 0-3 away from home. They were held to a 1-1 draw by Barcelona, ??and because they lost 1-2 at home to their opponents, they could only unfortunately stop in the first round.
"I'm sorry that Liverpool were eliminated because I wanted to tell Benitez in the Champions League that it's not a big deal to win us in the Super Cup. Chelsea was eliminated? What's so surprising about that? I wasn't early on. Have you said it before, the first place in that group is us, and we will win the Champions League, and the second place team, Chelsea, will lose in the first round of the knockout rounds - when will I Will there be any mistakes in speaking?¡±
Dick¡¯s words left everyone speechless. He was so lucky to encounter such a result, and he could actually say that he had already judged it. This Dick is really not that thick-skinned
After two consecutive weeks of no games in the middle of the week, Inter Milan's players have completely regained their vitality on the training ground. This is why Dick is confident in the next game, although next week They will play in the Champions League and Juventus and AC Milan will get time to rest, but before that, Inter Milan's main players have almost recovered. In the next more than two months, they are completely Able to give full play to it!
MarchOn the 12th, in the 29th round of Serie A, Inter Milan faced Sampdoria at home, which is about to gradually leave the European theater, while Juventus will have a face-to-face contest with AC Milan.
Inter Milan at home did not give Sampdoria too many opportunities. Toni scored his 25th league goal of the season. Adriano expanded the score. Inter Milan defeated Sampdoria 2-0. , temporarily tied Juventus' score.
In this focus game three hours later, Juventus played AC Milan 0-0 at home. This outcome will undoubtedly make Inter Milan happy, which makes Inter Milan lead AC Milan by six points again. , and at the same time, the gap with Juventus has narrowed to one point!
"Before going to the Champions League game, there is nothing more exciting than this. In the next nine rounds of the league, we still have more opportunities to take the lead." Dick said with a smile in an interview.
