Valencia defeated Chelsea 3-2 in an away game, which did not attract much attention in European football.
After defeating Chelsea 2-0 in the first round with ten men, everyone knew that the Blues' reversal in the second round was unlikely, and the final result did not surprise outsiders.
What really attracted the attention of the outside world was Chelsea coach Ranieri's attack on the management, especially owner Abramovich, after the game, accusing the Russian rich man of not understanding football at all.
"In fact, all of us know that since he took over the team, he wanted to fire me. This is no secret!"
After the honest man Ranieri lost the Champions League, he obviously knew his future clearly, so he simply took the risk and started the bombardment mode, venting the grievances he had suffered in the past year.
"Abramovich doesn't understand football at all, this is a shame!"
"If he and his team were aware of my work at Chelsea in the past few years, they would give me higher praise and respect. A year ago, we were still very poor, but we reached the Champions League of the Premier League.
Everything I did was based on no money, and it was not easy to put these players together."
"But, obviously, they didn't see all that."
Ranieri also mentioned his future, and he has obviously always been very aware of his situation.
"There is a saying circulating among our Italian coaching circles: be ready for everything at any time!"
"I have always been clear and prepared. He nailed me to the gallows very early. I have no doubt about it. Even if I finally win the Champions League and the Premier League, they will still win."
Fire me, we all know it."
Talking about his coaching situation at Chelsea this season, Ranieri said that he has not had time to prepare.
"Everything happened so fast. After Abramovich came, he went crazy to buy players, including players who were in our plan and players who were not in our plan. This is crazy, isn't it?"
"What's even crazier is that he didn't leave enough time for me to adjust and digest this lineup. Instead, he asked me to determine the main players within a month and perform well. He believed that there was a group of outstanding players.
You can play beautiful football, but professional football is not a game!"
"Since October we have been working, working, working and the players have been playing, playing, playing! They have met Eriksen and have even identified him, and everyone at that time, including
I thought I was going to be doomed, but after Ericsson refused, they found me and asked me to continue, and then made unrealistic demands on my grades."
Ranieri said that it is not easy for Chelsea to advance to the quarter-finals of the Champions League, because starting from the summer, he simply did not have enough time to run into the team, and the Premier League does not have a winter break like other leagues.
"I just want to say that I have a clear conscience!"
Obviously, the Italian tinker couldn't bear it anymore and was about to leave anyway, so he simply chose to blow himself up!
…
Comments from the outside world vary on Ranieri's remarks.
Many people agree, after all, the bitterness he vomited does exist.
But there are also many people who question Ranieri, believing that the biggest problem with his condition is his unfavorable performance in the two rounds of the Champions League quarter-finals.
Especially in the first round, we lost 2-0 away from home with one more player than our opponent. This was simply unbearable.
Many people say that the incompetence of one general exhausts the three armies.
It was Ranieri's incompetence that led to Chelsea's elimination. The tinker was responsible for this, and it was natural for him to be dismissed.
Before the news about Ranieri's attack on Abramovich had yet to ferment, another earthquake-level upset broke out in European football.
After Real Madrid won 4-2 at home, they actually lost 1-3 in an away game against Monaco.
The total score was 5 to 5, but Monaco had two away goals and finally eliminated Real Madrid.
The number one favorite in the Champions League, Real Madrid, fell to the quarterfinals of the Champions League and was defeated by the "little-known" Monaco. This shocked everyone.
Real Madrid's center Morientes, who is on loan at Monaco, performed well and proved his strength by killing his old club.
This is definitely a big upset!
What's even more chilling is that after Valencia and Monaco advanced, there was not even one traditional giant among the four teams in the Champions League semifinals.
After losing to AC Milan 1-4 away from home, Super Deportivo defeated the Rossoneri 4-0 at home and met Porto in the Champions League semi-finals.
When faced with the disastrous defeat, AC Milan general manager Galliani said, "This defeat will last three years for AC Milan!"
In this way, the Champions League semi-finals will be Valencia vs. Monaco and Deportivo vs. Porto.
All the traditional giants failed in the quarterfinals.
I have to say that this is also a major upset in this Champions League.

In a villa area on the outskirts of Valencia, Mendes looked at the Chinese boy in front of him with interest.
Every time he sees Su Dong, he will be surprised and happy.
The surprise is that Su Dong is always changing, becoming stronger and performing better and better.
And he was lucky because he felt that he had made an extremely wise choice back then.
That is to become Su Dong's agent.
Today, almost all agents around the world are envious of him, thinking that he has fallen into a big tree early.
As long as Su Dong maintains the current momentum and develops steadily, he will become a world-class star sooner or later. As an agent, Mendes will also benefit a lot from this.
Mendes is very confident about this.
Because of this, he was more cautious than anyone else when considering Su Dong's future.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!...
"Abramovich is very proud. He said he wanted to sign you and asked me to give you a price!"
Mendes was still filled with excitement when he thought of what happened at Stamford Bridge last night.
At that time, he almost couldn't help but want to offer a sky-high annual salary, so he directly agreed.
"How did you answer?" Su Dong asked curiously.
Mendes smiled and said, "You are so majestic on the court. As your agent, I naturally cannot give in at the negotiation table."
After a pause, the Portuguese smiled and pointed his right index finger, "I told him that your termination fee is 100 million euros!"
After Su Dong heard this, he laughed out loud.
"Then what?"
"Then?" Mendes laughed heartily, "You didn't see Abramovich's expression at that time. I guess he didn't know how badly he wanted to scold me."
"Who told you not to accommodate him and let him finish filling this pen?" Su Dong said with a smile.
"I don't owe him anything!" Mendes shrugged nonchalantly.
In this situation, Abramovich and Chelsea need him to lead the way, not that he needs Chelsea.
Guarding the gold and silver treasury of Sudong, Mendes has unprecedented confidence.
"Kenyon said that this summer, Chelsea's forward line will be reorganized. Whether it is Crespo, Good Johnson, or Hasselbaink, they will all feel embarrassed. Mutu, not to mention the Romanian forward
It’s basically on the edge.”
Su Dong listened silently, feeling somewhat sad about Chelsea's wealth.
Not to mention anything else, if you put these few stars among other teams in the four major European leagues, except for the top giants, which one is not a reliable main force? Even in the top giants, these players are very talented.
Competitiveness.
But in Chelsea, they can only take turns, and some even become full-time water fountain managers.
There is no way, this is the current situation of capitalism.
The drought will kill you, the flood will kill you!
"Kenyon said they want to bring in Shevchenko."
"Shevchenko?" Su Dong was really moved now.
Mendes nodded, "As a Russian, Abramovich has an inexplicable attachment to Ukrainian nuclear warheads. He wants to introduce Shevchenko and partner with a powerful forward to form a dream striker."
When he said this, Mendes looked at Su Dong deeply and said, "They want you to partner with Shevchenko."
If Su Dong wants to say that he is not moved, it must be a lie.
That's Shevchenko!
The star he once dreamed of catching up with!
"What else?" Su Dong was still somewhat rational.
"As for the left wing, they are basically sure to bring in Robben from PSV Eindhoven. You should be familiar with him. He is the winner of the Bronze Boy Award."
The Golden Boy Award, Silver Boy Award and Bronze Boy Award are actually the names of the top three European Golden Boy Awards.
Robben is a left winger who has performed very well in the Eredivisie. Although he has not proven himself in the four major leagues, his ability and potential are beyond doubt.
Robben is equivalent to Valencia's left winger Vicente, and Chelsea also has Duff, who can play as a right winger. In this way, both left and right wings are lined up.
His striker partner is Shevchenko, and his midfielders are world-famous players such as Makelele, Lampard and Veron.
I have to say that as long as this configuration is well-tuned, it will be very competitive even in the Champions League.
But the risks are also very high.
Su Dong has been playing in the Iberian Peninsula. Will he be able to adapt when he suddenly goes to the Premier League?
Needless to say, Hugo Viana's failure, even Sudong's good friend Ronnie did not fully realize his potential in the Premier League, and his development speed could not keep up with Sudong in La Liga.
Su Dong's explosion this season is largely due to his rapid integration into La Liga.
Can I go to the Premier League?
The next transfer step is of extraordinary significance to Sudong, even more critical than the transfer from Sporting Lisbon to Valencia last year.
If he plays it safe, he will directly join the ranks of Europe's first-tier stars, and he is fully qualified to play the main role in a wealthy team.
But if he misses the mark, he will fall from the clouds.
Whether he is the little God of War or the most talented young player after Ronaldo, these auras and titles will all leave him.
Professional football is so realistic and cruel!
This also forced both Su Dong and Mendes to be cautious about Chelsea's olive branch.
