Chapter 225 Champions League semi-final

Unexpectedly, I was transferred again!

And the target is always one club, Real Madrid!

Li Yu has no intention to pay attention to the transfer rumors now. The Champions League has entered the semi-finals and the league is about to end. Now he only thinks about the game and nothing else at all, including the contact with Jenny has been much less recently. What kind of competition is in my mind!

In the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals, Manchester United will face Lyon at home.

Lyon still has two old injured backbones, Boumsong and Bodmeier, and there are hidden dangers in the central defender position. Midfielder Marcoon failed to recover from injury last weekend, and his return in mid-week is doubtful. In addition, the main striker l ·Lopez came on as a substitute in the league last weekend but was tackled by Bordeaux defender Enrique and injured his ankle. His return in midweek is also doubtful. According to preliminary news, L.Lopez still has a certain chance to wear armor. Defensive midfielder Tulalang is expected He may play a key role as a guest. Since the first round is away from home, I believe Lyon will implement its anti-counterattack tactics to the end.

In order to better prepare for the game against Manchester United, Lyon came up with a clever idea: the team was originally going to play a league game with Monaco on Saturday 23rd (Saturday) between the two legs of the semi-finals, but now the league has been postponed to May. It was held on the 12th. The very satisfied Lyon coach Pierre thanked the French Ligue 1 managers and Monaco for their support, but Manchester United was very angry about this. The core defense Ferdinand said: "This is not fair. The schedule is the schedule and cannot be changed."

Manchester United does have reason to be angry. They have played 7 games in the past 3 weeks, and most of their opponents are quite strong. After Manchester United played the home game against Bayern Munich, they wanted to apply to postpone the away game against Blackburn Rovers for one day. But it was rejected by the English Professional Football League.

In the end, Manchester United had to drag their tired body and bring back a point in the away game. Fortunately, they recovered their form in the following Manchester derby, otherwise the Premier League champion would probably have an accident. This is all a matter of schedule. Among the Premier League title contenders, only Manchester United is still fighting for the Champions League.

Manchester United coach Ferguson emphasized that this was by no means a fair play practice and urged the club's sporting director Petersen to contact UEFA. "UEFA must be careful about such things in the future." Although Manchester United did not lodge a formal protest with UEFA, the news Official Holvik made it clear that he was dissatisfied with Ligue 1's unilateral decision.

Monaco coach Lacombe said that the reason why he agreed to Lyon's application was because the two semi-finals were related to the interests of French football. When Inter Milan and CSKA Moscow played in the 14th final of this season, Mourinho postponed the tie with the Russians. Zenit St. Petersburg is dissatisfied with the league. The Russians are veterans in this regard.

Bayern and Zenit met in the UEFA Cup semi-finals in the 2007-08 season. Zenit postponed five rounds of the league in one breath. As a result, Bayern was beaten 4-0 at home and entered the final to win the championship. Zenit was not playing in the league at the time and was still They were interested in playing a warm-up match with AZ Alkmaar in the Eredivisie. Van Gaal was the coach of AZ Alkmaar at the time. Zenit's five league rounds were postponed until after the European Cup in the summer of 2008.

No matter how dissatisfied you are with Lyon's postponement of the league match against Monaco originally scheduled for April 24, one thing is certain, that is, Manchester United has a clear physical advantage in the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals on the evening of the 21st. Lyon experienced it on the 17th After a hard-fought 2-2 draw with Bordeaux in an away game, we had to drive 865 kilometers to reach Manchester on the 20th. Although the opponent was not as famous as Bayern in terms of name, Manchester United's top striker Li Yu still emphasized: "We will never underestimate Lyon. This is A game between teams of the same level."

Lyon's trip to Manchester was indeed hard enough, and it took a total of about 7 and a half hours on the road. Manchester United will wait for the arrival of the French team at home. Lyon is recognized as the weakest team among the semi-finals. Among people,

Focusing most of his attention on Inter Milan's match against Barcelona, ​​Ferguson also expressed a different view: "We have no reason not to pay attention to the team that can enter the Champions League semi-finals. This will be a two-legged fierce game!"

The only dialogue between the two teams in the Champions League was in the 2008 Champions League. Manchester United defeated their opponents, but the score was not very different. In fact, Lyon, the French hegemon, was no longer a newcomer to the Champions League. When facing the overlord Manchester United,

At that time, they kept a very low profile, but Manchester United, which had always been optimistic, was just the opposite. Everyone believed that Manchester United's final ticket had actually been obtained, and the difference was what kind of number would be written on it, that is,

How many goals will Manchester United score.

What Ferguson has to do now is to keep his posture as low as possible so that the players can maintain a clear mind to face the game. After all, this is the semi-finals of the Champions League and there is no room for carelessness.

Suddenly, the European football circle entered a scene that was as absurd as a dream. In the sky, the volcanic ash had not yet dispersed, and many flights could not make it; on the highway from France to Germany, 8 MPVs (multipurpose commercial vehicles) were carrying Lyon

The players sailed to Stuttgart. Only Stuttgart in France and Germany has the conditions to fly Lyon players to Manchester. It is a strange phenomenon that Lyon's opponent is more like Bayern Munich than Manchester United.

The first-leg battle between Lyon and Manchester United in the Champions League semi-finals is about to break out; and Govou in the team is even more distraught because he is involved in a prostitution case being investigated by the French police and is suspected of prostitution and even child prostitution.

Ribery has admitted to having a relationship with a prostitute, but argued that he did not know that she was underage. Apart from them, there are other French international players involved...

The key figure in this "prostitution scandal" is called Abu: a pimp, in his 30s, of Moroccan descent, who once participated in a talent show and tried to become famous. But now he has finally made the headlines of major French media, but the reason is that he

The exposure of his prostitution business caused an earthquake in the French football world - at least four French international players and an agent were involved in the "prostitution scandal".

According to media reports, Ribery and Govou have been summoned by the police as witnesses, or "customers", to enter the judicial investigation; and the remaining two French internationals are Ben Arfa and Benzema.

Abramovich is an excellent nightlife agent and has many important people on his phone book, including Govou, Ben Arfa, Benzema and other stars.

Abramovich is a Lyon fan. There is a photo of him holding a Lyon jersey in his online photo album. Like Benzema, he grew up in the suburbs of Lyon during his childhood. Abramovich has participated in 4 TV drafts and also recorded a single

The song "I Like to Watch Girls". Later, he hosted a TV show for second-rate stars in Paris and started a side business as a pimp. His base was a cafe on the Champs Elysées.

A few months ago, Abu began to be bugged by the police. Now, more than ten people including the owner and waiters of the cafe have been arrested or summoned. Most of the prostitutes are of Moroccan origin, and at least one of them was underage when prostitution. French media

This description: She has a good figure,

With dyed blonde hair and an angelic face, she once sold sex to Franck Ribery and three other players. The police joked: "The players assist each other." If the prostitute is a minor, the client can be jailed for up to 3 years.

year, with a fine of 45,000 euros.

The direct parties, Govou and Franck Ribery, have so far remained silent and have only appointed lawyers to speak out.

"Govu stated that he has never dealt with a prostitution ring, nor has he been to that cafe. This incident has deeply hurt him, affected his relatives, and damaged his honor. He will not make any remarks.

Evaluated." Govou's lawyer said. And Ribery

The lawyer admitted that Ribery was summoned by the police. Ben Arfa denied his suspicion in an interview with "L'Equipe", "That was not what I did. Cristiano Ronaldo and Beckham have also been linked to similar stories, but

We still don’t know whether they did it or not.”

The French public has launched a heated debate about the national football team's "prostitution". Most of them admit that prostitution is an inherent social phenomenon in France, especially since there are a large number of foreign prostitutes stationed in France, and it is well known that players like to live overnight, but this time

The incident involved a child prostitute, and Franck Ribery was married, which violated traditional Western family values... The public hopes to "de-idolize" players and limit comments on their achievements to the sports field.

Bayern has sealed Ribery at the highest level for security protection. On the night of April 19, reporters stationed at the entrance of the Bayern club failed to block Ribery's car. He may have escaped in a teammate's car.

However, he was seen going to the office of Bayern sporting director Nellinger, and the two talked for more than 20 minutes.

Such ridiculous things often happen in the French football circle, but this incident really reminded Ferguson. It is not that British journalist friends did not stand up to disrupt the situation at critical moments, so all Manchester United players

I was given a stern warning to take care of my lower body in the final stage.

Li Yu was okay, but Rooney complained about this. Of course, he did not dare to express his complaints in public. When chatting with Li Yu, he said that he was like an ascetic now and had lost a lot of fun.

This fat man is really dishonest. In the past, when Ronaldo was still there, Rooney was even more aggressive. Now he is much better. But if he is not allowed to go out for a month, he must be driven crazy. In fact, the reason is very simple.

After all the games are over, the next step is the World Cup in South Africa, and we have to participate in training camps. If anything happens at that time, it is simply an international joke on our career. So now is the time to satisfy our cravings in the early stage, but Manchester United also comes to ban it.

make.

"You have a wife!" Li Yu's meaning was very straightforward. He couldn't go out to look for her. Didn't he still have a wife at home?

Rooney looked at Li Yu with disdain, "Honey, my God! You are truly the most innocent professional player I have ever seen. If you have a wife and stop fooling around, those gossip reporters will go home!"

Although Li Yu didn't agree with Fatty's point of view, after staying in Europe for a long time, he still knew that they didn't take this kind of thing too seriously. Entertainment, this is a kind of entertainment, relax!

As long as it's not like Terry, seducing a teammate's wife, which involves moral issues, it's not a big deal at all, and the wife won't care too much.

If it were in China, there would have to be a fuss. Seven aunts and eight aunts would come together to ask for an explanation. However, the way of playing in China is different. Having a mistress is equivalent to a lover here in Europe. There is a fixed person, and it is also the same in Europe.

A taboo can also cause problems.

But in any case, Manchester United's move has effectively curbed many unnecessary troubles.

After comforting Rooney, the two came to the training ground together.

Manchester United's training today was basically focused on recovery, without any high-intensity training. In recent games, Ferguson did not arrange a large amount of training. Even though it was just such a training content, many players were sweating profusely.

The training volume in the Premier League has always been very high. Compared with La Liga's loose training method, the training volume is still much higher.

When Ronaldo arrived at Real Madrid, he not only had to practice various techniques after training, but also trained his body on his own. This is the difference in training volume. In order to maintain his physical condition, Ronaldo must do this.

Rooney still had some minor injuries and did not stay to practice with Li Yu. Li Yu completed the extra practice alone. This has become a unique scene on the Manchester United training ground. No matter what the weather is, the team training is over.

In the future, we will definitely see Manchester United’s No. 9 training for extra time.

Everyone is sighing that Li Yu's success is not only due to his talent, but also his hard work is enough to support his success.

Ferguson used to ask about Li Yu's additional training content, but now he has let Li Yu fiddle with it on his own.

In another Champions League semi-final, Inter Milan defeated the invincible Barcelona 3-1 at home! This score, which many people could not have imagined before the game, allowed Barcelona to experience many "firsts" in more than a year. This is after last year

After Barcelona drew 3-3 with Villarreal on May 10, it was the first time that Barcelona conceded 3 goals in a game. This was the first time Barcelona had conceded 3 goals in a game since losing 1-2 at home to Liverpool on February 21, 2007.

It was the first time in more than three years that Barcelona had been reversed in the Champions League knockout round. This was also the first time in more than five years that Barcelona had conceded 3 goals in the Champions League knockout round since losing 2-4 to Chelsea on March 8, 2005.

The creator of the Stamford Bridge tragedy was Mourinho...

Although they are currently lower in points than Roma in the league, before the game, in the stands of the Meazza Stadium, Inter Milan fans still put out slogans in support of Mourinho. This rather creative slogan brought Mourinho to

Neo and Harry Potter were combined, and the name was "Harry Mu", which meant that Mourinho was compared to a magician. The last one known as the "Wizard" was the one who led Inter Milan into the

Herrera in the "Great International Era".

Will Mourinho become the second Herrera? Perhaps we will have the answer soon. While dealing a heavy blow to Barcelona, ​​Inter Milan is creating history one after another: reaching the eighth stage of the Champions League after 3 years.

Strong, reaching the semi-finals of the Champions League after 7 years. If he can really maintain his victory in this round at Camp Nou and advance to the final, it will be 38 years later! Of course, to be able to reach this point, Murry

Neo has done what Mancini, Zach, and even Cooper have not done, and you must know that Inter Milan has met Barcelona and Chelsea twice in the Champions League this season, and they have encountered the strongest opponents along the way!

Specific to this game, this is indeed a passive battle that Barcelona has not encountered in recent years. If you consider that Inter Milan still lost due to a defensive error (Cambiaso and Lucio gave way to each other)

The reversal after conceding a goal is even more difficult. Throughout the game, Inter Milan's defense can be described as "suffocating". Barcelona got very little space in the frontcourt, and Messi was restricted to the maximum extent.

, Ibrahimovic was even replaced shortly after the start of the second half without doing much, and he didn't even take a shot before he was replaced. After falling behind 1-3, Barcelona's offense showed some improvement and created several good opportunities.

But before Inter Milan scored three goals, Inter Milan completely took the initiative on the scene. Milito was mistakenly judged to be offside once, and another close-range shot was slightly missed. Lucio's unmarked header was also the goal.

Slightly wide, Eto'o's long-range shot in the 17th minute made Valdes get rid of it. Milito's supplementary shot passed by the goal was a better opportunity. Inter Milan's subsequent reversal was just a process of quantitative change to qualitative change.

It should be said that compared with the confrontation with Barcelona in the first half, Inter Milan's transformation is huge. In fact, we should thank UEFA for giving Inter Milan such a difficult schedule, which allows them to progress step by step. It can be said that they beat Chelsea.

, advancing to the semi-finals has a fundamental impact on the team's psychological state and temperament in the European war. In this confrontation, there is only one more Pandev in personnel, but the scene has undergone essential changes. In offense and defense,

Inter Milan seems more confident. Players dare to take the ball, reverse kick, and dare to steal when Barcelona players have the ball. Inter Milan's third goal came from Motta's steal of Busquets.

Success, in the two meetings in the group stage, the chances created by Inter Milan in the two games combined were not as many as the 15 in this game!

And this victory is believed to be a greater incentive for Inter Milan's self-confidence. Currently in the Champions League, Inter Milan has achieved six consecutive victories. As Mourinho said: "We have improved from the Champions League.

The small club turned into a team that deservedly beat Barcelona and challenged for the title."

Looking at Europe, the teams that have made Barcelona so uncomfortable in recent years are Liverpool, Manchester United, Chelsea and Inter Milan. But now Liverpool is facing reorganization. Chelsea's aging staff problem cannot be solved in one summer. Even if Manchester United's team develops healthily,

, but the club's debt is always a problem. In addition, the domestic championship competition caused by the strong Premier League teams and Platini's exclusion of the Premier League are all unfavorable factors for their competition in the Champions League.

Relatively speaking, like Barcelona, ​​Inter Milan's development trend is upward. After this season, Inter Milan will also make multiple introductions in the back line and midfield. The joining of Ranocchia has become a fact, and the Brazilian rookie central defender

Negotiations with Mario Fernandez, Lazio’s Serbian international left-back Kolarov, and Portugal’s young international midfielder Veloso are already in progress. The players introduced by Inter Milan are all young players or players with potential for development.

, The future of this team can only get better and better. Mourinho once claimed to be the "best psychiatrist". Indeed, he helped Inter Milan cross the psychological barrier of the European war. No matter whether he stays in the future,

Or leave, Inter Milan's re-emergence in Europe is inseparable from his contribution.
