Chapter 569 Waiting to be slaughtered!

On May 1, 2007, at the Calderon Stadium in Madrid, Spain.

When he drew with Chelsea from zero to zero in the first leg, after returning to his home court, Heinx once again made a strong attack formation, and also made targeted arrangements for Chelsea's weak points on the right defense, and also played its due role in the game.

The left side composed of Villa, David Silva and Yankulovsky became the most powerful side of Atletico Madrid's offense, frequently creating murderous intent and threatening Chelsea's right-side defense.

But Mourinho obviously also made sufficient preparations for this side, arranging John Terry and Marklele to focus on assisting Paul Ferreira in guarding the right and let Andrade block the Torres point.

Just like the first leg of the game, Atletico Madrid had the advantage and repeatedly created murderous intent on the left, but it never turned offensive opportunities into goals. Especially when the game was in the second half, the players of the Bedding Legion began to have the disadvantage of young players lacking experience, and were a little too frivolous and impatient.

Heinx also realized the problem and frequently called on the sidelines to keep calm and cool the players' minds through substitutions, but in the end he could not stop the players' fanaticism.

When the game reached the 83rd minute, Atletico Madrid could not defeat for a long time and revealed a flaw. Chelsea seized the opportunity to counterattack. After receiving the pass from Barack, Lampard passed the ball diagonally to the right.

After Anelka, who came on the bench, received the ball from the right side of the penalty area, he passed Yankulovsky who rushed back to defense. After entering the penalty area, he suddenly shot before Carvalho.

Anelka's powerful shot was saved by goalkeeper Cech, but Drogba, who was inserted behind, blocked Ramos with his body and shot into the net from close range twelve meters in front of the goal.

The entire Calderon Stadium fell into a dead silence!

No one expected that Chelsea would suddenly seize such an opportunity when the game was coming to an end, hit a counterattack, and scored a key goal, which was completely beyond everyone's expectations.

Atletico Madrid has been forced into a desperate situation at zero to one.

Heinx made a quick decision and made the last substitution adjustment, decisively strengthening the attack.

Atletico Madrid players on the court also rushed to Chelsea's defense wildly, but they never broke through the Blues' defense.

In the end, the game ended at zero to one.

Chelsea eliminated Atletico Madrid with a total score of 1-0 and successfully advanced to the final.

Pinetina training base, Milan, Italy.

According to the Champions League schedule, Inter Milan will be one day earlier than Chelsea in the first leg, but the second leg will be one day later.

Although it means they will face Liverpool tomorrow, Gao Han and the coaching staff still stay in the training base to watch this focus game.

When they saw that until the end of the game, Atletico Madrid failed to break through Chelsea's goal. When they saw the scene of Torres, Villa, David Silva and Ramos crawling on the grass and crying, they were all filled with sighs.

They all came from Atletico Madrid and had a deep relationship with the bed sheet army. They were hesitating before whether they could make the move if they met Atletico Madrid in the finals. Unexpectedly, Chelsea took the initiative to get this kind of illness for Inter Milan, but they felt very uncomfortable.

"You guessed it right." Guardiola turned his head and looked at Gao Han, with admiration in his eyes, but he couldn't be happy.

"Anelka is indeed his surprise. He didn't play in the first round, but after he came on the bench in this round, his performance was too eye-catching. Almost every time he took the ball, he could cause a counterattack. Mourinho probably had planned all this a long time ago."

Although he guessed correctly, Gao Han couldn't be happy at all.

Atletico Madrid is indeed stronger, but he feels not feeling bad when he is eliminated. Moreover, judging from the current situation, Chelsea is even more difficult to deal with than Atletico Madrid.

As for why Mourinho did not use Anelka at home, Gao Han had no idea. Perhaps it was because he felt that letting him play as a substitute in the first leg might not have the chance to attack Atletico Madrid, so he might as well leave it for the away game.

But there is no doubt that Mourinho's arrangement and on-site command in these two rounds are classic.

I believe that even as an opponent, Heinx would probably have to lose with confidence.

"From the performance of this game, Chelsea's defense is still the weakness of Chelsea's defense." Cantalero pointed out the problem.

Paul Ferreira was brought to Chelsea by Gao Han himself. He knows this Portuguese player very well. He is well-behaved, hardworking and has high tactical execution. However, he has always been mediocre, so Mourinho is not particularly satisfied with him, so he wants to introduce Ivanovic and Micah Richards.

But in the Champions League, Mourinho obviously did not dare to promote new players casually, so he still reused Paul Ferreira.

"The offensive direction of Atletico Madrid in this game is right, but it failed to convert the opportunity into a goal. If you can't catch it for a long time, you will lose your position. This gives Chelsea the opportunity to sneak attack. So, I think we should study this point carefully next."

As the chief assistant coach around Gao Han, Cantalero is very clear about the analysis and makes sense.

"Our left offense is not a big problem. I believe Cristiano Ronaldo will not disappoint us. With Evra, I believe our left off attack will not lose to Atletico Madrid."

Gao Han has a strong sense of confidence in the ability of his team.

In terms of left-wing attack, Inter Milan will not lose to any team.

"As for the middle lane, we have Ibrahimovic and Adriano, as well as the second-tier attack formed by Yaya Toure's rear insertion. No matter from which perspective, we are more aggressive and sharper than Atletico Madrid."

What shocked Inter Milan the most about European football is the team's outstanding attack power.

The trident composed of Cristiano Ronaldo, Ibrahimovic and Adriano has the best offensive ability. Looking at the entire European football world, no team can match Inter Milan.

So far, no team's defense can stand Inter Milan's offense.

"Just..." Gao Han closed his eyes and sighed softly, "I'm a little worried, what targeted defensive tactics will Mourinho use to freeze us?"

As the saying goes, know yourself and your enemy, you will never be defeated in a hundred battles.

Speculating on the opponent's targeted tactics is also one of the lessons the head coach prepares before the game.

The different characteristics of the players lead to different offensive characteristics of Atletico Madrid and Inter Milan, and the offensive areas that the two teams are good at are also different, so Mourinho's targeted tactics will definitely be different.

Gao Han and his assistants also had no idea what he would arrange specifically.

It can only be said that soldiers come to block the enemy, and water comes to cover the enemy's body.

With Inter Milan's current strength, there is no need to guess too much of the opponent, but should think about how to play to your own level. As long as you can perform normally, no team can stop Inter Milan.

On May 2, 2007, at the Milan Meach Stadium.

When the whistle sounded at the end of the game, the entire Meacha Stadium was completely boiling.

More than 60,000 fans stood up from their seats and sang loudly the outstanding performance of the players on the stadium.

2-0, Inter Milan defeated Liverpool without any danger.

Interestingly, like the first leg game, it was the goals of Ibrahimovic and Adriano.

Although Liverpool's right-back Avelloa was absent in this game, Finnan still did not give Cristiano Ronaldo too many opportunities to perform. The Portuguese was once again frozen on the left and was replaced by Gao Han early.

But this did not hurt the excitement of Inter Milan fans.

Two to zero, with a total score of four to one, Inter Milan successfully advanced to the final.

This is also the fifth time in the history of the Champions League, the Nerazzurri reached the finals. The first four times were from the 63 to the **** season, and from the 65 season. Inter Milan defeated Real Madrid and Benfica three-to-one and one-to-zero respectively, and won the Champions League championship for two consecutive seasons.

Among them, the second time was at the Meazza Stadium in Milan, where he won the cup at home.

Afterwards, Inter Milan entered the Champions League finals twice in the 66 to 67 seasons and 71 to 72 seasons respectively, but lost to the Celtics one-to-two, and lost to Ajax zero to two, and missed the championship both times.

After more than 30 years of separation, Inter Milan once again reached the Champions League final, and this time it advanced as the number one favorite, which undoubtedly made the fans of Meacha Stadium full of expectations for the team to win the cup.

Even in the stands, some fans could not wait to shout the slogan to regain the third St. Berede Cup.

Standing in front of the home coach's seat at the Meacha Stadium, Gao Han heard the sound of fans shouting at him, which made him feel very proud and made him swear in his heart that he must lead the team from Greece to bring the championship trophy back from Greece anyway.

But this is not easy.

In the past few years, with strong financial support, Premier League teams have continuously introduced high-level players, and their overall level has improved greatly. Mourinho's Chelsea is one of the best.

Especially during the winter break, it spent more than 70 million euros to invest in powerful stars such as Anelka and Andrade.

Although Quaresma's performance is not satisfactory, Anelka and Andrade's performance is still worthy of recognition, and these two players have also helped Chelsea's European game a lot.

Among them, Anelka used a sudden shot to cause Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Cech to escape in the key match of the semi-finals, which made Drogba successfully get a shot.

Gao Han himself did not expect that the first duel between him and Mourinho would be in the Champions League final.

He said in front of the media that he wanted to wait for Mourinho in the Champions League final. This was originally just a joke, but he didn't expect it to become a reality.

When Gao Han thought of this, he found it funny. It was really fate that made people beat him up.

However, Gao Han is not Heinquez, and Inter Milan will not be Atletico Madrid, and he will not give Mourinho any chance.

"How is it? Do you have anything to say? I want me to convey it for you?" Benitez walked to Gao Han for some time, and looked in a good mood and was not affected by the loss.

Perhaps it should be said that this loss was long before he expected.

This weekend, Liverpool will face Chelsea at Anfield Stadium, so Benitez is happy to be a communicator.

Gao Han knew that this fat Spanish man just wanted to sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight, but he didn't mind satisfying his interest.
