magic coach

If it is said that winning the Triple Crown requires a lot of luck, then breaking AC Milan's 54-match unbeaten record requires even greater luck, because there are more chances to decide a game, but Jiang Mu dared to release such a Big talk, and Inter Milan did not feel arrogance in the next game, and still played very steadily. In the 27th round, they beat Lecce 2:1 away, and in the 28th round, they drew 1:1. Competitor Roma, although the point gap with No.2 Juventus has narrowed to 9 points, but now there are only 6 rounds left in the league. As long as Inter Milan wins three more games, they will be able to successfully defend their title.

In the UEFA Champions League, because Inter Milan had already qualified ahead of schedule, Jiang Mu sent substitute players in the last two rounds, but even as a substitute, they drew with Arsenal and lost to Leverkusen with only 1 goal. This also indirectly caused Deportivo and Arsenal to be out, and Leverkusen and Inter Milan, who ultimately benefited, joined hands to qualify from Group D.

After the last two rounds of melee, the qualifying teams in the other groups have also been decided. Bayern and Manchester United in Group A finally lived up to expectations and rushed out from the siege of Rome and Porto. The Serie A runner-up Roma has a strong strength. When it comes to the stronger Bayern and Manchester United, there is nothing they can do if they cannot qualify.

Juventus in Group B is just as tragic as Roma. It's not that they don't have the strength to qualify, but that their opponents are too strong. The old lady didn't seize the opportunity in front of Liverpool and Barcelona, ​​and in the end they could only rank third with a goal difference disadvantage. , and Alkmaar was originally a soy sauce player, and it is not easy to be able to tie a few victories.

There is no suspense in Real Madrid in Group C. Panathinaikos is purely a lame general. Fortunately, the teams he met were all at the same level. Boasta and Sparta Prague also had the same chance. But they didn't grasp it, and finally achieved Panathinakos.

In the draw ceremony for the Champions League 14 finals and semi-finals held at the UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland on Friday, Inter Milan met the 99 Champions League winner Manchester United, and Bayer Leverkusen, who qualified in the same group as Inter Milan, met another Premier League team. The giants Liverpool met, and they were divided into one and a half zones. If Inter Milan can advance to the semi-finals, they will know each other no matter whether they meet Liverpool or Leverkusen.

The old enemies of Real Madrid and Bayern meet again. Of course, the grievances between them are much more exciting than Barcelona playing Panathinaikos in the same half. The semi-finals are equally exciting, Bayern advances, Bayern and Barcelona are refreshing, and Real Madrid advances, the fight between him and Barcelona is even more like sparks hitting the earth.

So after the draw for the quarter-finals, the media believed that the biggest winners were Barcelona and UEFA.

Jiang Mu is basically satisfied with the result of the draw. There are only Leverkusen and Panathinaikos in the quarterfinals. If Inter Milan can overcome Manchester United, they may encounter Leverkusen again. , if history still goes like this, then Inter Milan's signing is already very good, if the requirements are too high, it is too greedy, and the Champions League is not opened by Moratti's family.

From the perspective of historical records, Manchester United and Inter Milan have played against each other very rarely. They only met once in the quarter-finals of the 1999-2000 season. That time Manchester United played 2:0 at home and 1:1 away, with one win and one draw. The undefeated record advanced.

However, time has passed and the current Inter Milan is no longer the same team as the Inter Milan two years ago. They are completely different in terms of mentality, personnel composition and tactical play. It may be difficult for Manchester United to have any psychological advantage. A team is not much different from an encounter.

After the draw, Jiang Mu told the reporter of The Sun who interviewed him: "I hope to play against Manchester United, because I want the strongest opponent. They were the European champions and world champions in 99, and they are now the strongest players in the world." They have Beckham, they have Giggs, they have Keane, and they have super coach Ferguson, and it will be the most memorable moment in my career to challenge a giant like Manchester United at Old Trafford in the Theater of Dreams."

As for who will be the winner of this battle between giants, Jiang Mu said: "The outcome is hard to predict. Both teams are top teams in the world. Both teams have stars who can change the situation in an instant. We know their Sir Alex Ferguson will also study our weaknesses. No team is perfect. Whoever can protect their weaknesses and make use of their strengths will take the lead in such a big battle .”

Jiang Mu admired Manchester United so much, which made Manchester United's head coach Ferguson both happy and frightened. Everyone knows that Inter Milan is not easy to mess with, and no one wants to touch Inter Milan, but Inter Milan let Manchester United meet. After passing Inter Milan, they are likely to face the challenge of Liverpool. For Sir Alex Ferguson, this is a signing.

But the lottery result has come out, the opponent is smiling, Sir Alex Ferguson can not lose the demeanor of England gentleman, he said: "Jiang Mu is an amazing coach, he is very young, not even as old as my players, but he But he has achieved a brilliant record that many coaches can't achieve in their lifetime. Many people think he is very proud, but I think it is the vitality of young people. I don't think a young coach who is less than 30 years old should be as depressed as us. I admire him very much, and if possible, I hope to have a glass of red wine with him after the game, regardless of the outcome."

When it comes to the peak duel with giant teams, Ferguson said frankly that he must keep enough attention: "The contest with super strong teams is always the focus of attention. In such a peak duel, the most critical Concentration, and we have always been very focused in such games in the past. Inter Milan has a lot of South American players, and the team has a lot of experience. South American players are very adaptable, and their offense and defense are very balanced. It will be an extremely difficult game for sure, but I believe we will have the last laugh.”

The Champions League is very important to Inter Milan, but it will not start until two weeks later. For Inter Milan, it is better to play the league first, and it is best to lock the championship first, and fight Manchester United without any worries.

The lead in the league is huge, but Roma and Juventus are in full form in the final stage. Except for losing in the direct dialogue with Inter Milan, the other games are all victorious. With a 9-point lead, there are only 6 games left. Generally speaking, the championship is almost like a cooked duck, but there is an old saying in China that even a cooked duck can fly. Jiang Mu still dare not be careless about the next game against Atlanta, and is still two-thirds of the main players. The top third of the bench came to play.

Atalanta had a good record last season. Their performance in the first half of this season was mediocre. They almost fell into the relegation zone in the standings. However, they recovered in the second half and have now reached seventh place, only one step away from the UEFA Cup. Yao, they will not let Inter Milan win this game easily.

The game was indeed more difficult than Inter Milan imagined before the game. Atalanta's players were young and full of physical fitness. In the final stage of the league, physical fitness has been upgraded to an important factor in determining the outcome of the game. Their active fighting made them want to win the game at the lowest cost. The Inter Milan was very passive. After conceding a goal, the Inter Milan players woke up like a dream. They realized that if they didn't go all out, not only would it be impossible to score three points, they might not even get one point. Once they are caught up by Roma and Juventus, they will face more pressure later.

Inter Milan is not weaker than Atlanta in terms of physical fitness, and stronger in technique and tactics. Once they pay more attention to their psychology, the situation of the game will be reversed immediately. Robben far shed the score in the first 10 minutes of the second half. This season's goals also reached 10, but just when Inter Milan was trying to seal the victory, their steel defender Cannavaro was injured and left the field. At this time, Inter Milan had used up three substitutions. Inter Milan's defense delivered a major blow.

In fact, it’s nothing for Inter Milan to lose this game. There are only a few minutes left, and other players can make it through. This blow is mainly due to the quarter-finals of the Champions League against Manchester United a week later.

Although Inter Milan still has defenders available, Cannavaro and Materazzi have cooperated for most of the season, and they are teammates in the Italian national team. The cooperation between the two of them is very tacit. Their characteristics just complement each other, and it is difficult for other players to achieve such a perfect cooperation between them. Facing a world-class team like Manchester United, an unstable defense is a big problem. hidden dangers.

Seeing that Inter Milan lost a player, Atlanta took the opportunity to launch a fierce attack. Inter Milan's army was in disarray. Jiang Mu thought he was also a little angry. Can shake hands with Atlanta 2:2.

After the examination in the hospital after the game, Cannavaro had a muscle strain and had to rest for at least two weeks. After Pirlo, Inter Milan had another muscle strain. Diseases also began to increase gradually.

This round of Inter Milan has not only suffered a loss in personnel, because both Roma and Juventus have won this round, the points gap between Juventus and Inter Milan has narrowed to 7 points, while Roma and Inter Milan The score difference is 9 points. With 5 rounds left, they still have a chance to win the championship in theory.
