On March 3, after hiding most of their main players, Inter Milan still defeated Livorno 3-1 in the away game, extending their winning streak to 19 games. In this game, Inter Milan's strong substitute lineup Showing their outstanding abilities, Yaya Toure, Pandev and Cruz each scored a goal in the game, helping Inter Milan win the game. Their performance also allowed Inter Milan's main players to improve their status. Let's put it in the Champions League. Their advantage in the league is too great now. In this round of the league, Roma was tied one to one by Ascoli. Inter Milan's points lead over Roma has reached 18 points. points, there are still twelve rounds left in the league, and Roma can only get thirty-six points even if they play full games. In other words, if Inter Milan can get another eighteen points, they will be able to securely win the league championship this season. In other words, even if Roma continues to win consecutively, as long as Inter Milan can continue to win six more games, that is, after defeating Roma in a face-to-face confrontation, they will be able to win the league championship six rounds in advance!
In fact, even if their next results have some ups and downs, they can still win the league championship without any danger. After all, Roma's current results are not very stable. They have drawn six games and lost four so far. What about Inter Milan? There have only been three draws. If they continue to play in this state, their points this season may reach three digits.
This is what Dick wants. The greater the advantage in the league, the more he can focus on the Champions League. The performance of the substitutes this season is also quite outstanding. In many league games, he has been beaten. Even with all substitutes on the bench, Inter Milan still won the longest winning streak of the season. Inter Milan is now almost overwhelmingly powerful in Serie A.
In the middle of the week, Inter Milan, with all their main players, went to an away game to challenge Valencia. The two previous goal difference advantages allowed Inter Milan to play with ease in the away game. Dick naturally launched a hands-off counterattack tactic in the away game. Like this The tactics left Valencia with no chance throughout the first half. Shortly after the start of the second half, Inter Milan made a beautiful counterattack. Ibrahimovic received the ball at the front of the penalty area and passed the ball to Stankovic who came in from the back row. Stankovic broke into the penalty area and pushed into the far corner to score. Inter Milan scored a key goal in the away game. In the end, they won the knockout round with a total score of 5 to 2 in the two rounds and successfully entered the quarterfinals of the Champions League!
You must know that before Dick, there were so many head coaches under Moratti, and none of them could lead the team to the quarterfinals of the Champions League for two consecutive years. Dick was still the first
Cooper led his team to the semi-finals of the Champions League, which was the best result of Inter Milan in the Champions League during the Moratti era. However, he failed to break through even the Champions League group stage. It is no wonder that Inter Milan fans are extremely I really like Dick as the head coach - a head coach who can bring victory to the team is always loved by fans.
Despite the impact of Calciopoli, the Serie A teams are still relatively competitive this season. AC Milan defeated the Celtics of Scotland with difficulty in overtime, while Roma also entered the competition after defeating Lyon with two goals in an away game. There are three Serie A teams in the quarterfinals, which is relatively rare in the Champions League in recent years.
Among other teams, Liverpool unexpectedly defeated Barcelona in two rounds, while Bayern eliminated Real Madrid by relying on the advantage of more away goals. La Liga has been completely defeated this season, which also makes Serie A fans a little gloating - although they are now The points were pulled a bit further by La Liga, but seeing that no team from this once troublesome opponent entered the quarterfinals made them extremely happy.
There are also three teams in the Premier League that have entered the quarter-finals. Except for Arsenal who lost to PSV Eindhoven in the quarter-finals, Manchester United and Chelsea have also entered the quarter-finals. This also brings excitement to the draw ceremony of the quarter-finals. There came a great sense of anticipation.
Everyone hopes that they can draw PSV. After all, in the quarterfinals this time, PSV is probably even worse. In the end, Liverpool became the lucky one, and they met PSV. , and in the other three matches, they can be regarded as strong dialogues.
AC Milan met Bayern, Roma met Manchester United, and Inter Milan met Chelsea - Dick and Mourinho met again this season after last season!
Inter Milan, which is extremely strong this season, meets Chelsea, whose lineup is even better than them. Such a competition is enough to arouse the greatest interest of everyone!
The battle between Dick and Mourinho, the battle between the two most popular and best-performing young coaches, what will happen to Adriano who is not having a particularly good time at Chelsea when he faces his old club? Feeling? Inter Milan has the strongest offensive line, and Chelsea has so many powerful offensive players such as Adriano, Shevchenko, Drogba, Robben, Lampard, etc., which cannot be ignored.Such a confrontation between two teams is indeed very attractive!
Although the match between AC Milan and Bayern is also anticipated, it is obvious that from a topical point of view, there are not as many topics as the match between Inter Milan and Chelsea. The two sides have almost no record of playing against each other in previous games, and in After Dick and Mourinho took over Inter Milan and Chelsea successively, they only met last season. In the end, both sides won one game in the group stage. Inter Milan qualified as the first in the group and finally After winning the Champions League, Chelsea was eliminated by Barcelona in the first round of the knockout rounds. Unfortunately, they failed in the Champions League again.
Now, they meet again in the Champions League. Can Chelsea avenge last season this time? Can Mourinho prove himself to be a better manager than Dick? This is still a problem. Everyone is looking forward to the start of these two games. The games are on April 5th and April 12th. This day is still good for Inter Milan, because at that time the international Milan's advantage in the league may become even greater.
After the draw results came out, Inter Milan soon ushered in the Milan Derby - Inter Milan won the first round with a score of 5 to 3. Now the state of the two sides is very different. Inter Milan is far ahead in the league and the Champions League. China also eliminated Valencia cleanly, but what about AC Milan? Now they are only ranked sixth in points, and have not even been able to enter the Champions League area. They have completely lost hope of winning the league championship. In the Champions League, they encountered a relatively weak team like Celtic, but Or did he have to go back to the home court and score a goal in overtime to eliminate his opponent with great difficulty? How can such a performance not make people lose confidence?
However, before this game, one of the more controversial things was that Ronaldo, who was once the representative of Inter Milan, joined AC Milan at a low price in the winter. When this news came out, Inter Milan fans were quite dissatisfied. However, as Inter Milan's results become more and more outstanding, they don't seem to care too much about this. Who makes Inter Milan not have Ronaldo's position now?
But as the Milan derby approaches, when Ronaldo will wear an AC Milan jersey to face Inter Milan, Inter Milan fans begin to become angry. They avoided this issue before, but now they start to face it, they will It feels even more difficult to accept.
This used to be their Holy Infant, used to be their pride, used to be their symbol, but now he is wearing the jersey of his rival in the same city to deal with them!
However, this mood calmed down after Dick¡¯s words at the press conference.
"Any player has the right to choose Wherever he goes or where he doesn't go, that's his freedom. We have no reason to resent Ronaldo unless we lose. I don't think we will lose this game. Yes, and we will continue to win, and we will move towards the longest winning streak, so in fact, we don¡¯t need to care about it so much. The winner should be generous.¡±
Dick's words made all Inter Milan fans feel better - yes, they are now a strong team that is about to complete three consecutive Serie A championships, and this season is heading towards the Triple Crown. That's a thing of the past It's over, and the opponent is in a miserable state - AC Milan is no longer a match for Inter Milan, and Ronaldo has also been kicked out by Real Madrid. Why not show some generosity?
Seeing that the atmosphere before the game began to become normal, Dick also breathed a sigh of relief. He knew how this game ended up in history. From the beginning of the game, the Inter Milan fans in the entire stadium were going crazy. He booed Ronaldo so much that Ronaldo made provocative moves after scoring a goal. Although Inter Milan won the game in the end, they also completely broke with Ronaldo - this is a situation Dick did not want to see. In his opinion, At that time, Ronaldo's departure from Inter Milan was due to the fact that he was ruthless, and it was also related to Cooper's attitude at the time. Although there was nothing wrong with his equal attitude in training, for a seriously ill patient like Ronaldo who had just recovered from injury, it was simply It was just like getting rid of him, and Cooper was not a good communicator coach, which directly led to a break between important players and the coach. At that time, Moratti, who saw the hope of winning the championship, chose to believe in Cooper, and Ronaldo's departure also It became a necessity.
¡°It¡¯s impossible to say who is right or wrong about this kind of thing. After all, Ronaldo has been the symbol of Inter Milan for a long time. Dick doesn¡¯t really want to think about it if it turns out like that
Because of such efforts, the game ended up being very peaceful. After Ronaldo opened the scoring with a beautiful volley from outside the penalty area in the first half, he did not celebrate. The Inter Milan fans just treated this with silence. scored, and when Dick made adjustments in the second half, Inter MilanWhen he scored three goals to overtake the score, all the Inter Milan fans gave a huge cheer!
Three to one! Inter Milan successfully double defeated AC Milan in the Milan Derby. This is the first time since entering the 21st century. After Moratti took over, Inter Milan has never doubled AC Milan in a league season. , including the first two seasons, both sides were evenly matched! This double play not only increased Inter Milan's winning streak to 20 games, but also allowed Inter Milan to complete a double play against AC Milan in a single season for the first time in the Moratti era!
"Now no one in the league can stop Inter Milan. We can only see whether Inter Milan can pass AC Milan in the next Champions League" The commentator commented helplessly on this game.
