11 The Road to Famous Generals

11 The Road to Famous Generals

It has been more than a hundred years since the birth of football, but why are there so few players whose names can be remembered in football history?

There are many players playing football all over the world, but after all, only those who stand at the top of the pyramid can really get high salaries and become the focus of attention.

The reason is that it should be said that one's character really determines one's destiny.

... The draw ceremony for the UEFA Champions League group stage of the 2005-06 season was held in Zurich, Switzerland in early September. Unfortunately, the expected top five in England to meet in the knockout stage at the same time did not happen.

Liverpool, which people are not optimistic about, made it all the way from the first round to the group stage, while Everton, who played from the third qualifying round, fell into the sand.

I have to say that UEFA made a very good move. Liverpool is the defending champion after all. If Liverpool is not recommended to the group stage, the ratings will definitely drop. And Everton? Nature became a victim.

Of course, some people may say that Everton is not strong enough. Indeed, among the top five in the Premier League, Everton is considered the weakest team, but the Premier League during this period has begun to lead other major leagues, even if Everton is not good. , The strength to reach the group stage is absolutely there.

Therefore, in order to avoid the dominance of one league, UEFA carefully prepared Udinese from Serie A for Everton in the top 16.

Moyes had a tragic round. Everton, who worked so hard to qualify for the Champions League last season, was particularly targeted by the referee in both games.

What? Udinese this insurance is not enough? It's okay, UEFA has their big killer-the referee. Anyway, the referee was sent by us. In the situation where Everton and Udinese are equal in strength, a small penalty may affect the progress of the game.

As for Everton's protest? Thank you, the Champions League is always a game for the giants. It is too difficult for small teams to counterattack, and UEFA has to take care of the small teams while taking care of the feelings of the giants. So Everton is out and Liverpool has advanced. Looking at Liverpool's opponents from the first qualifying round to the third qualifying round, you will find that no real opponent can pose a threat to Liverpool.

In Zurich, Switzerland, UEFA carefully directed another good show. Is the Champions League true? That's impossible, the Champions League is all fake? That's also impossible.

For UEFA, what they want to manipulate is the ratings, not the final champion. No one dares to manipulate the final champion. In the Champions League, you still have to rely on your own strength to play. Of course, in the Under the rules set by UEFA.

Last season's UEFA Champions League round of 16 knockout rounds, people said that Chelsea and Inter Milan did not play well enough, it's okay, this year UEFA has drawn Chelsea and Inter Milan into a group.

What, isn't that exciting enough? So how about another Liverpool?

Because Liverpool participates with a wild card, which is what we usually call a special account, Liverpool is not counted among the national teams. Therefore, the death group of this season's Champions League group stage is freshly released. Chelsea, Liverpool, International Add a Betis with soy sauce to Milan.

In fact, Betis, who won the Champions League with its gorgeous offensive cooperation last season, is not weak at all, but compared with Champions League champions Liverpool, Premier League champions Chelsea and Serie A champions Inter Milan, Betis is really weak.

Because Inter Milan was only in the top 16 last year, they are the second tier team. Chelsea, which reached the semi-finals, is the first tier seeded team. The third gear, so this year's Champions League has such a wonderful team.

"It seems that UEFA intends to let Inter Milan join the Premier League?" After knowing that Inter Milan's group was separated, Leon, who is far away in Milan, Italy, also said this with emotion in an interview.

It is said that Mourinho, who sent his assistant Boas to draw the lottery, just hoo hooed after learning the result of the Champions League draw, and stopped answering reporters' questions.

What's the answer? Instead of taking this time to answer the reporters' questions one after another, it is better to prepare for the games against Inter Milan, Liverpool and Betis.

... On the second day after the results of the Champions League draw came out, Inter Milan continued to start their league journey. Much more cautious.

The one who has always had the last laugh in the league is definitely not the most unrestrained, but the most stable.

"It seems that Inter Milan did not lose to Palermo in vain." Italian Sky TV, commentator Palmer Terry also sighed.

Indeed, Inter Milan did not lose in vain. In the Barbera battle, both Lionwell and Mancini have accumulated a lot of experience.

Especially Mancini, you must know that after the away loss to Palermo, Zhuge Guidolin mocked Mancini: "If you give me 50 million pounds, I can completely abuse Inter Milan."

This kind of speech with hindsight made Mancini sleepless for three whole nights.

As an excellent coach, Mancini still needs a long, long time to become a famous player.

Two to zero, the increasingly stable Inter Milan did not give the visiting team Lecce a chance at home. They made very few mistakes throughout the game, and when Lecce wanted to deal with Inter Milan like Palermo First, their players are not capable enough, and second, Leon has already learned the lessons of the previous game. As long as the opponent ignores him, he will frantically start the mocking mode.

Today, Inter Milan's two goals were scored by Leon, the first was his long shot after he plugged in, and the second was his header after he plugged in.

After winning this game, Inter Milan has greatly eased the pressure of public opinion after the Barbera battle, and Mancini can also have time to study Chelsea, Inter Milan's first opponent in the Champions League group stage this season .

This time again as a guest at Stamford Bridge, Mancini does not want to lose to Mourinho again.

Not being decisive enough is a major weakness that Mancini must improve. As the coach of a giant like Inter Milan, Mancini still lacks a lot.

Fortunately, however, Mancini is young enough that he has time to create his own era.

... In the fourth round of Serie A, Inter Milan challenged Chievo in an away game. Because this was the last game before Inter Milan went to London, Mancini also mobilized the whole team before the game.

Things like we want to take the victory to the decisive battle against Chelsea, what we want to let the opponent know that we are Inter Milan in the away game, although the players of Inter Milan may hear these words, but these words are still very useful .

In short, when Inter Milan appeared at the Antonio Stadium with high morale, the Chievo team had already lost half of the game before the game started.

The Chievo team tragically became the target of Inter Milan. In fact, Mancini still understands psychology very well. After Inter Milan was eliminated by Chelsea last season, the players of Inter Milan basically held their breath this summer and wanted to play again. It was a showdown with Chelsea, so when the UEFA draw came out, the revenge anger of the Inter Milan players had been ignited.

Of course, you might say, why should new players from Inter Milan such as Toni, Maicon, Figo and Samuel have no major grudge against Chelsea? How could Mancini's agitation encourage them?

This is definitely a wrong concept, because under the continuous influence of teammates, Inter Milan's new players will have hatred even if there is no hatred at this time.

Unfortunately, Chievo became the flag ceremony before Inter Milan's expedition to London. In the battle of Antonio, Inter Milan established a three-goal lead in the first 30 minutes of the first half with a strong momentum.

Toni, Adriano and Carlos Tevez scored these three goals, and Mancini also removed Leonwell and Luis Figo early. Now, Mancini can carry this Inter Milan's expedition to Stamford Bridge.

At this time, Jose Mourinho and his Blues Chelsea had already laid a net for Inter Milan.

As a result, the Battle of Stamford Bridge became the second classic battle of Inter Milan in the 05-06 season. This battle was later entered into the compulsory subject of the German coaching school by the Germans. After countless replays by later generations, people I have come to a conclusion that the factors that determine the battle at Stamford Bridge are no longer artificial.

Let's not mention the upcoming battle at Stamford Bridge. After defeating Chievo, Inter Milan returned to the top three in the standings. They are now three points behind Juventus and one point behind AC Milan.

With the top three in Serie A taking charge one after another, the curtain of the UEFA Champions League in the 05-06 season was completely opened.

The morale of the Red Army Liverpool was overwhelmed after the night in Istanbul, and it seemed that they were about to restart the Liverpool dynasty under the leadership of Gerrard and Benitez. The Blue Army Chelsea continued to advance in England under the leadership of the madman Mourinho. The reconstruction of Manchester United is nearing completion. Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney plus the 92 golden generation, the old man chewing gum peeked at the throne of the king of Europe from the beginning again. Although Arsenal sold Vieira, but also Usher in their new core, the Spanish genius Cesc Fabregas! The Galaxy Battleship looks close to collapse, but no one dares to underestimate this star-studded team. Barcelona with Ronaldinho and Eto'o and La Masia natives are sweeping the Iberian peninsula with their gorgeous attacking football, Rijkaard and his dream two need a throne of European kings to secure their place in history. After the night in Istanbul last season, the Rossoneri AC Milan seems to have matured a lot, especially Kaka, who is infinitely close to his peak period. As for Juventus, Capello seems to really focus on In the league, but with half of the four major defensive midfielders in the new century, will Juventus, known as the strongest in the past decade, really do nothing?

The suspense is about to unfold.

And what kicked off this season must of course be the Battle of Stamford Bridge!
