43 The strong London Tower Bridge
For Leonwell, 2004 was a very meaningful year. Relying on winning the Champions League with Bayern, and winning the Copa America and the Olympics with Argentina, he was well-deservedly named the 2004 Player of the Year by "French Football" European Footballer of the Year, and this is the second time the 21-year-old Leon has won such an honor.
"French Football" praised Leon's performance in the past year with the title "Your Son Conquers the World Again", "He has shown extremely terrifying dominance in the midfield, whether it is goals or assists, it is important for him. A piece of cake, as the first player in the history of the Champions League to win the top scorer as a midfielder, this 21-year-old young man, as Sir Alex Ferguson said, his legend has just begun. "
It is not surprising that Leon became the European Footballer of the Year again. After all, the public opinion has completely guided him before the result came out. In terms of level, Leon has overshadowed these two great forwards.
As "French Football" said in the conclusion of Leon's evaluation: "As long as he appears on the field, the victory will always belong to his side."
After the award of European Footballer of the Year, at the FIFA year-end meeting in January, fifa once again named Leon the World Player of the Year Award, he is also the youngest twice Mr. Double.
"Oh, I'm Lionwell, and my legend has just begun." Martin Taylor, a famous England commentator, published an article in the most popular "Lyon style" after Leon won the award.
There is no surprise or suspense in such an award. Compared with when he won Mr. Double in 2002, Leon's election this time is even less suspenseful.
"He can do better, I expect him to win a World Cup of his own!" Diego Maradona has already regarded Leon as the third football king on the planet in public, of course, The premise is that Leon must win a World Cup of his own.
After all, Argentina in 2002 was called the most powerful Argentina in history by the media, and Argentina could do without anyone in that year.
As the most expensive player in the world, when Inter Milan arrived in North London, Leon also saw his popularity in the UK.
All of Europe has a large number of fans of its own, as a UEFA official wrote in the investigation report: "I am curious, assuming that there is no Lionwell, will the Champions League this season drop by n ratings?" ?"
On the court, fans are divided into team fans and human fans. Oxford Encyclopedia's interpretation of fake fans is this. Players or teams who do not have a fixed support, such fans are likely to know more about football than real fans, but They will support the side that performs better.
And Oxford Encyclopedia's interpretation of a true fan is that no matter whether he understands football or not, as long as he has a favorite player or team, then he can be called a true fan.
It's like a fan, it doesn't matter if you sing well or not, if you have an idol, you are a fan.
…At the end of February, the temperature in London is already very warm, but the weather in London has not been very good. This is indeed a city that is not suitable for people to live in. London, the capital of fog, always gives people a very depressing feeling.
It seems that the weather in England is not going well, but on February 25th, England's Meteorological Bureau's forecast was obviously wrong, because the original cloudy day was replaced by a sunny day, and the temperature at Stamford Bridge was about 12, Around three degrees is a temperature that is very suitable for football games.
The turf of the Stamford Bridge Stadium is obviously far better than that of Meazza. After Mourinho sent scouts to investigate the situation of Meazza's turf, he also decisively did not use any tricks before the game.
In the words Mourinho told his assistant: "My God, Meazza itself is a vegetable field. If we mess up our stadium, doesn't that mean letting Inter Milan play at home?"
So on the day of the game, the condition of the Stamford Bridge turf was as good as it could be.
"I haven't seen you for two months. You have won Mr. Double again. Congratulations, Leon." , this place has become one of the most devilish home stadiums in England!

The Blues, Chelsea, are undefeated here this season, having kept seven consecutive clean sheets at Stamford Bridge. St. Peter Cech is challenging Buffon's throne as the world's number one goalkeeper. Didier Drogba, the Ivorian monster, is wreaking havoc on the defense lines of the Premier League under the guidance of Mourinho. Peter Pan Robben is Chelsea One of the fans' favorite players, fans love his windy speed and the way he skims across the turf.
The magic lamp Lampard is at the peak of his career, the morale of the whole Chelsea team is high, and they are approaching the St. Blair Cup.
Of course, if they want to win the St. Blair Cup, they must beat Inter Milan, which has the "defending champion" Lionwell, in today's game.
Glancing at Mourinho, Leon smiled: "I haven't seen you in two months, Chelsea have already left Manchester United by 13 points, should I congratulate you in advance for winning the Premier League championship this season, Jose ?"
Mourinho did not answer, but smiled at Leon and walked to Chelsea's bench.
Because of Vieri's absence, Recoba will start today, exactly as the outside world expected. Mancini formed a three-four-three lineup that has been practiced for a long time in this game.
As for Chelsea, Mourinho, who has rotated a large number of main players in the last round, is obviously ready for this game. On the front line, Drogba forms a single arrow, with Robben and Duff on the left and right, and the Dutch flying Mourinho's counter-attacking trump cards are Xia and Irishman, and the three midfielders, Lampard, Joe Cole and Makelele are all absolutely practical. On the defense line, Bridge and Ferreira are separated. The left and right backs, Terry and Carvalho formed a double-tower bridge tactic.
The goalkeeper, of course, is the most trusted by Chelsea fans. The Czech gibbon who has scored zero opponents many times this season-St. Peter Cech.
Obviously, Peter Cech has successfully practiced the holy script, and the most important thing for Chelsea's counterattack tactics to be carried out smoothly is the existence of Peter Cech.
"It's really a gathering of stars." The game between Chelsea and Inter Milan is simply a star parade. Almost every player on the court has a background, and absolutely no one is an ordinary person.
After Jose Mourinho came to Chelsea, he also brought his old players Carvalho and Ferreira. After half a season, Carvalho has already become one of the best central defenders in the Premier League. Although Ferreira doesn't have the domineeringness he had in Porto, his defense is quite unspeakable.
If Terry and Carvalho form the London Twin Towers, then Ferreira and Bridge are the most critical part of Mourinho's twin-tower bridge tactics.
Makelele has already slapped Florentino in the face severely after he came to Chelsea. The French sports car told the world with his actual actions that he is one of the best midfielders on the planet.
Mourinho knew the value of Makelele. At Chelsea, Makelele really reached the pinnacle of his career.
When Makelele was in Real Madrid, Claude once competed with Leon. Now more than two years have passed since the duel between the two, and Leonwell has joined with a value of 100 million pounds. Inter Milan, and Makelele has also become the core of Chelsea's defense.
Let's turn our attention back to the Stamford Bridge Stadium. After the players of the two teams have finished choosing sides and have taken their positions, the referee Dane Wilson has already started to look at his watch.
b——————————————————————!
Along with the whistle, the Blues Chelsea fans turned Stamford Bridge into a hell on earth, and the horrible cheers stimulated the eardrums of all the players on the pitch.
"Ferreira sprints to Leonville, beautiful! Clean tackle!"
As soon as the game started, Leon felt the horror of Chelsea's twin-tower bridge tactics-constantly compressing the space of the ball holder, constantly pressing, making it difficult for you to even organize the offense... I remember the previous life Many fans have made comparisons, and many people think that the Chelsea team led by Mourinho is one of the most memorable teams in history, because this Chelsea team is too hard.
At that time, Chelsea kept a record, that is, they were unbeaten at home!
Under Chelsea's terrifying press, Inter Milan's players seemed extremely difficult to hold the ball. Chelsea did not take special care of Leonwell. Everything seemed to return to the Champions League final last summer. Porto vs. Bayern, just Now the team led by Mourinho is stronger.
In the Premier League, Chelsea's confidence has been completely played out. After they defeated Liverpool, Manchester United and Arsenal in the Premier League, this team now feels completely different.
They are no longer the ruble army in people's eyes, but a real iron army.
"The defensive tactics of the twin-tower bridge... It's abominable. If Vieri is still there, we can also support the twin towers in the frontcourt. In this way, Chelsea may not dare to rush forward like this unscrupulously. Although Recoba has a strong ability to hold the ball , but in terms of air supremacy, it is completely out of reach. Although Adriano is strong, Terry and Carvalho are two top central defenders. Adriano may be barely able to deal with one, but Once the twin-tower bridge is connected..." Leon also frowned and watched Chelsea's line of defense.
What a twin-tower bridge!
