Chapter 255: I have longed for the Champions League for a long time

Maybe the chance to fight again soon.

In another spacetime, Inter Milan will meet AC Milan in the quarter-finals of the Champions League after eliminating Porto.

Of course, you cannot think that the same thing will happen in this time and space, but it is always possible, isn't it?

The Champions League also likes to arrange some enemies to meet each other. Since Inter Milan and AC Milan met in the semi-finals of the 02-03 season and hit their heads, it is normal to meet again this season.

It's like Barcelona and Chelsea, Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich, Real Madrid and Juventus ... Where can the Champions League gimmicks not be made?

Although in another time and space, Inter Milan was eventually eliminated by AC Milan in the Champions League, and AC Milan finally completed Liverpool's Miracle Night in Istanbul, but Ricardo believes that with his own arrival, all this will get To reverse.

He desperately wants revenge on AC Milan in the Champions League. Revenge for a single arrow two seasons ago.

的 Two encounters in the league, Inter Milan 1: 1 at home and 0: 0 away, if the UEFA Champions League still plays such a score, Inter Milan will be eliminated due to the disadvantage of away goals.

So if they meet in the Champions League next time, Inter Milan will have to strengthen their strength if they want to win.

It is unrealistic to expect the entire team to improve in a short time, and Mancini has done everything.

But you can improve a little bit more and cooperate with Ronaldo and Adriano a little bit. This can always be achieved.

At the press conference after the match, Mancini expressed satisfaction with the team's performance, and Ancelotti was also satisfied with the performance of the disciples. It seemed that both sides were very happy.

But then in the locker room, Mancini criticized the players.

In fact, the players of Inter Milan also felt wronged. They didn't play badly in this game. They just had a bit of luck. The opponent's shot was obviously off the course. As a result, they hit Kaka's leg and rolled into the goal. Make people vain.

In addition, the team did not make obvious mistakes, and AC Milan did not get enough opportunities.

Coincidentally, in the visiting team's locker room, AC Milan coach Ancelotti also sharply criticized his disciples, thinking that they did not devote 100% of their efforts in such a crucial Milan derby. , The 3 points reached became 1 point.

If AC Milan wins this game, they can still think about the defending league champion, but this draw almost completely shattered their dream.

The media the following day evaluated the game as "another Milanese Derby."

Both sides failed to reach the goal, both defeated and hurt, making Juventus laugh with pee.

后 After this battle, Inter Milan scored 54 points, 2 points behind Juventus, gave way to the throne and let Juventus lead again.

I also focused on Ricardo's performance: "... After experiencing the madness of the beginning of the season, his performance was very struggling, but he adjusted quickly. We can notice that in recent games, he They are working hard to create opportunities for teammates and rarely try to solve the battle themselves. In 19 league appearances this season, he has only scored 7 goals, most of which have been obtained at the beginning of the season; but he contributed 16 Assists, which is close to Inter Milan's best history. "

"Ricardo's reactivation has boosted the creativity of Inter Milan's midfield and frontcourt, and also allowed Ronaldo and Adriano more opportunities. As an 18-year-old teenager, we cannot demand that he do better. "Although he did not receive the Golden Boy Award last year, as long as he continues his current performance, this year's Golden Boy Award must be in his pocket."

Said proudly: "The collision between the first league and the third league made Juventus reach the summit smoothly. Juventus has rich experience in how to lead, they will not easily give up the first place, international If Milan wants to challenge Juventus again, they have to come up with real skills. "

The game has passed and the league will continue. Not only the league, Inter Milan, Juventus and AC Milan all need third-line combat.

Only turbulent Rome has been out in the Champions League group stage, they can focus on the league, but they have lost their hope of competing for the championship, the points gap has been pulled too large, not even the theoretical hope.

On March 6, Inter Milan defeated Lecce with a 2-1 reversal. Ricardo made his debut. Although he did not contribute goals and assists, he performed well.

But Juventus and AC Milan also defeated their opponents.

Originally they expected that Rome could cause a little trouble for Juventus, but the referee dominated the game. He blew away two good goals from Rome. In the end, Juventus defeated Rome 2-1 away and continued to lead the standings.

March 12 Inter Milan challenged the Blue Eagles, and Ricardo sat on the bench. Lazio veteran Favalli's mistake gave Lazio a 1-0 lead in the first half.

In the second half, Ricardo played. He first attracted Lazio's three defensive players to pass the ball to Ronaldo. Ronaldo passed it to Adriano to help the latter score. Before the end of the game, Ricardo used Dribbling created a free-kick opportunity in front of the penalty area. Another old Lazio veteran Mikhailovich took the free kick. The Inter Milan staged a reversal, and Juventus did not open the score again.

On the evening of March 15th, Ronaldo scored twice, Ricardo staged an assisted hat-trick, Inter Milan defeated visiting defending champion Porto 4-1 at home, ending the latter's defending dream.

After the game, Ricardo and Ronaldo brothers were interviewed by reporters on the sidelines. Ricardo said very simply: "The opponents are very hard, but we are a better team, and we deserve to win. Now that we have come here, no matter who our next opponent is, we will continue to continue firmly until the final. "

Ronaldo put it more simply: "I have longed for the Champions League for a long time."

Inter Milan's excellent condition exclaimed the mainstream European media: the snake is here!

Inter Milan, who owns Ronaldo, has always been the Champions League champion, but in recent years Inter Milan has always been in a poor state in the Champions League games. Their closest match to the championship, the 2002-2003 season, was eliminated by AC Milan in the semi-finals due to fewer away goals. It's not bad luck, it can only be said to be luck, and Cooper's tactics also make Inter Milan unsuitable for playoffs.
