In the following game, although Real Madrid struggled to get a goal back as much as possible, they were unable to do so. In the case of recovering the defense, Chiellini's frontal defensive ability showed quite well.
Excellent, he made two clearances in just a few minutes, protecting Inter Milan's defense very well. When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, the Real Madrid fans sat down in despair!
One to three at home... For the two-round knockout round, this score can almost be a death sentence for the home team. Even if they win 2-0 in the away game, they will not be able to qualify. If they want to advance, they have to win three goals or score.
It is not that Real Madrid does not have the ability to win by two goals with more than four goals, but judging from the performance of both sides in this game, I am afraid that even the most optimistic Real Madrid fans do not think Real Madrid has the ability to do this.
"Every time I return to Madrid, it's like returning to my own home. Thank you to Atletico Madrid fans for still supporting me. I also believe that Atletico Madrid will get out of the trough next. The temporary downturn cannot defeat Atletico Madrid.
, tenacious rise is the spirit of Atletico Madrid."
At the press conference, Dick just expressed his gratitude to Atletico Madrid. As for the game, he only said one sentence: "The Champions League is not over yet, will it qualify? It will not happen until after the second round.
result."
However, although Dick said it lightly at the press conference, the game eventually caused considerable consequences. Florentino took the blame and resigned. The decline in Real Madrid's performance in the past few years has put a lot of pressure on him.
Carlo also submitted his resignation, but it was rejected by Real Madrid - not because they would support Carlo, but because they don't have any good choices now. Instead of changing coaches now, it is better to wait until the end of the season.
Hire a top coach. The change of three coaches last season severely damaged Real Madrid's vitality. Naturally, Real Madrid does not want another turmoil.
Dick doesn't care about this. The more chaotic Real Madrid is, the greater their chances of promotion will be.
Inter Milan, who returned to Milan, received a warm welcome from the fans - they were the best performer among the three Serie A teams participating in the Champions League this time. AC Milan drew with Bayern one to one in the away game.
Juventus unexpectedly lost 3-2 to Werder Bremen on the road. Because the Milan duo played at home in the second leg, after negotiation, Inter Milan’s home game against Real Madrid will be
Postponing the game for a week is no problem for Dick. Postponing the game for a week will allow Inter Milan to better concentrate on the league.
Inter Milan fans began to mock Juventus mercilessly - How can you still defend the honor of Serie A in the Champions League like this? How can you perform so well in the league like you did against Werder Bremen?
, and said that the referee did not pay attention to you!
Amid such back and forth, Serie A ushered in the twenty-seventh round of the game. Although Dick was still suspended for this game, and although Inter Milan rotated many main players, they still performed well in this game.
Very outstanding!
Facing the strong Udinese, Inter Milan finally defeated their opponent with a score of 4 to 1. Toni scored twice, Yaya Toure and Perrotta also scored. Udinese only
Iaquinta got a point back in the second half.
Juventus, who had failed in the European competition, performed well after returning to China. Facing Lecce, which was deep in the relegation zone, they won with a score of 3 to 1 and continued to lead Inter Milan by one point.
In other games, Roma began to come into people's sight-when Inter Milan and Juventus were having an earth-shaking war of words, Roma had quietly won ten consecutive victories. In this round of the league
, they defeated Lazio with two goals away in the Rome Derby and achieved 11 consecutive victories, only one game left from Inter Milan's previous record of 12 consecutive victories!
"Is this a record-breaking season? It's unbelievable..." The media began to exclaim after discovering this. This season's Serie A is extremely lively, with big news emerging one after another, which makes them a little bit unbearable...
"Since we have the opportunity to break the record, we will try our best to do it. Our performance at the beginning of this season was not very good, but in the current game we have returned to the top four positions. This makes us
"Perform even better. It's always difficult to get back on track quickly after a chaotic season. Fortunately we did it and I'm proud of the performance of the players." Spalletti said.
He replied during the interview.
"Your opponent in the next round happens to be Inter Milan, the record holder..." the reporter reminded him.
"Since Inter Milan can create a new record after defeating the record holder AC Milan, then I think we can do the same." Spalletti's words still showed his edge.
“Have they won eleven in a row?”
Dick asked a rhetorical question during the interview. After getting the exact answer, he nodded thoughtfully: "There are still two games left. Even if we lose this one, they have to win again."
It takes one game to create a new record, otherwise it will just be a tie."
Dick seemed to have brought this topic up in an understatement, but on the training ground, he responded to the matter with a fierce attitude: "Roma will not be our competitor this season, but you know, we created
His record cannot be coveted by others! This game is an away game against Roma. We can win or draw, but we must not lose!"
It makes sense for Dick to yell such a slogan. Roma is in really good shape now. Their winning streak has brought their state to a peak. Moreover, they are not involved in European competitions and can focus all their attention on
In the league, even a draw in this game is acceptable. A point is a point. Even if Juventus wins, it is only three points ahead of Inter Milan. There is no need to worry too much, and there is no need to force it.
Attack to win. In this league, any point will be very important.
The postponement of the Champions League has given Inter Milan a chance to breathe. Inter Milan was in good form before, but has experienced ups and downs recently. Now that they can rest more, it is also a way to accumulate strength before the final sprint.
On March 5, at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome, Dick led his team to take a point away from home as he wished - goals from Tony and Sneijder gave Inter Milan a 2-1 lead, but Totti and De Rossi
The goal gave Roma the lead again, and they maintained the score until the 89th minute. Just when the Roma fans were preparing to celebrate their 12th consecutive victory, Figo, who came on the bench, sent a beautiful goal
The corner kick was passed, and Materazzi, who assisted, beat Mexes and scored with a header, bringing the score back!
The ending of a three-to-three draw allowed Inter Milan to struggle to grab a point from the away game, and also put an end to Roma's hopes of tying and setting a new record!
"It's a good idea to set a record, but unfortunately the schedule is not very good for Roma." Dick said proudly at the post-match press conference, which made the Roma fans hate it -
Isn't it just a draw? Juventus defeated Sampdoria 1-0 away from home in this round, leading you by three points again...
"Juventus is already three points ahead of Inter Milan, aren't you worried?" A reporter stood up and asked.
"What do I have to worry about? Their state has declined, but ours is gradually improving! There are still ten rounds of the league, only three points, and we can get it back in one game!"
Dick seemed nonchalant, and Inter Milan returned to Milan after playing this game - they have no tasks this midweek, and Juventus and AC Milan will play in the Champions League.
Juventus and AC Milan did not disappoint Serie A fans. They both eliminated two teams from the Bundesliga. Juventus defeated Werder Bremen 2-1 at home and entered the eighth round with the advantage of more away goals.
Strong, and AC Milan played a beautiful game at home. They swept Bayern 4-1 and also entered the quarterfinals!
In other games, Arsenal defeated Ajax, but Liverpool failed. After losing 0-2 at home to Benfica, they were eliminated with a score of 0-3 in two rounds, while Chelsea lost in the away game.
They were held to a 1-1 draw by Barcelona, and because they lost 1-2 at home to their opponents, they could only unfortunately stop in the first round.
"I'm sorry that Liverpool were eliminated... because I really wanted to tell Benitez in the Champions League that winning us in the Super Cup is nothing. Chelsea was eliminated? Isn't it strange? I wasn't early.
Have you said it before, the first place in that group is us, and we will win the Champions League, and the second team, Chelsea, will lose in the first round of the knockout rounds - when will I
Is there anything wrong with what I say?"
Dick's words left everyone speechless. It was so lucky that he encountered such a result, and he could actually say that he had already judged that this Dick was really not that thick-skinned...
After two consecutive weeks of no games in the middle of the week, Inter Milan's players have completely regained their vitality on the training ground. This is why Dick is confident in the next game, although next week
They will play in the Champions League and Juventus and AC Milan will get some rest time, but before that, Inter Milan's main players have almost recovered. In the next more than two months, they are completely
Able to give full play to it!
On March 12, in the 29th round of Serie A, Inter Milan will face Sampdoria at home, which is about to gradually leave the European theater, while Juventus will have a face-to-face contest with AC Milan.
Inter Milan, who was at home, did not give Sampdoria too many opportunities. Toni scored his 25th league goal of the season, Adriano expanded the score, and Inter Milan defeated Sampdoria 2-0.
, temporarily tied Juventus' score.
In this focus game three hours later, Juventus and AC Milan played a 0-0 draw at home. This outcome will undoubtedly make Inter Milan happy, which makes Inter Milan once again lead AC Milan by six points.
, and at the same time, the gap with Juventus has narrowed to one point!
"Before going to the Champions League game, there is nothing more exciting than this. In the next nine rounds of the league, we still have more opportunities to take the lead." Dick said with a smile during an interview.
