Me, Captain of China

Vol 4 Chapter 844: Since Shengyu, He Shengliang

Mourinho is certainly not satisfied with the result of the game, but his words are still gentle:

"I think our team is doing a good job. The game is raining heavily and the venue is not suitable for our characteristics. The problem is that this is not suitable for us to play sports. The Rosenborg team has a good header and it brings us every time. Threatened."

"We did our job well and tied the score through passing and cooperation. Let's not forget that Rosenborg has played 23 games this season. It is easier for them to adapt to the game. The current situation of our opponents is not easy to deal with. ," Mourinho said: "Am I satisfied? I think it's 50%. We did a good job of getting back the score after falling behind 1:2, and disrupted their pace of the game. But both sides were in the same position with 11 people. At that time we performed even better. Vieri still did not show up, but he was able to adjust regularly."

"When you control the ball, the offensive thinking can be fully revealed. We really have a very low percentage of possession today. The strange thing is that when we only had 10 people, we did better than before," Mourinho said. "I think Zheng Zhi played a beautiful game. He helped us create a lot of opportunities. I still remain optimistic. We know our difficulties. First of all, our physical conditions are very different. They play better than us. More games, easier to enter the state."

"A draw away is not a disaster, at least we now know what problems we encountered. Next we have to put our minds back into the league."

Captain Zheng Zhi also expressed his views at the press conference: "We were passive in the first 10 minutes of the game, but they only gave us a partial threat. They could score every corner kick. We knew they were The power in the air is very strong, we should at least be able to avoid a goal, but I think Inter Milan has enough counterattack ability,"

"We still have a lot of shot opportunities, but we don't grasp it. Give young people more time and they will grow up eventually."

"Our defense was not focused enough, so we lost two goals."

"But anyway, since the start of the season, we haven't lost a game yet? It's just not as good as everyone thinks. I believe that over time, our team will get better and better."

...

However, the media do not think so.

"Gazzetta dello Sport" bluntly said: Inter Milan’s offense and defense have dropped a notch compared to last year. The offense is no longer invincible, and the defense is not impenetrable. Inter Milan will not be successful in the Champions League and the league this season. Too far.

"Torino Sport"’s point of view is also very similar: Letting Ronaldo and Pirlo leave is Inter Milan’s most misguided operation this season. Mourinho wants to liberate the Chinese, push him to the position of the midfielder, and then let the newcomers Cambiasso played midfielder, but in fact proved that this idea is too naive, although they still lose the game, but sooner or later they will have to finish playing.

After the first round, AC Milan won Ligue 1's Lens 2:1, and in another match, Rome was slaughtered by Real Madrid at home 0:3. Juventus was again tied by Feyenoord in the away game.

Only AC Milan won the Serie A four games. After the game, AC Milan's general manager Galliani was quite moved.

"We finally got better in Europe."

"Milan almost forgot that AC Milan was the trump card of the European war."

"AC Milan has not won home games in the Champions League for two full years. I remember that in September 2000, we beat Besicotas beautifully 4:1 in San Siro, but since then, We did not win another victory against Leeds United, Barcelona, ​​Galatasaray and Paris Saint-Germain. So today’s victory is of great significance and I would like to share the happiness with the fans."

Speaking of the performance of the Italian team, Galliani said: "In this round of competition, AC Milan was the only one of the four Italian teams to win. From the perspective of the AC Milan fans, this is a delight. But from the perspective of the development of Italian football as a whole, I would rather all four teams advance to the next stage."

After the first round of the Champions League, the four Spanish teams were red across the board, the three German teams were wiped out, the Italian and English teams were evenly divided, and the Spanish Legion still behaved very strongly, and it seems that they have to beat others again. National club.

Real Madrid challenged Roma away, and even Ronaldo, Morientz, Solari and McMaraman did not play. It can be imagined how strong they are. Roma at home has not been able to form a confrontation.

However, Real Madrid is not a La Liga champion. The real La Liga champion Valencia beat Liverpool, who was not afraid of physical collisions, at the Mestalla Stadium and beat Liverpool 2-0.

Deportivo, with a large number of Brazilian players, defeated Bayern Munich 3:2.

Barcelona defeated Bruges in Belgium 3:2.

The four teams competing in the Champions League have won, so that the Spanish media's post-match analysis is triumphant: in the European arena, no league team can compare to La Liga in terms of technology, flexibility and creativity.

As for Serie A, Gazzetta dello Sport predicts that AC Milan will re-emerge, and Inter Milan, whose strength has declined, will be pursued by powerful players from Real Madrid, AC Milan, Barcelona, ​​Manchester United, etc. Inter Milan will be pulled this season. Under the throne, the dream of three consecutive Champions League titles is just a fantasy.

The Bundesliga’s "Kicker" is very pessimistic: Bayern, Dortmund and Leverkusen Bundesliga top three are annihilated by no accident. When the German media was praising Ballack, Bayern, who owns half of the German national team, finally Lost 2:3 at the Munich Olympic Stadium. As for the Bundesliga champion Dortmund and runner-up Leverkusen, they cannot represent the strongest Bundesliga like Bayern. Dortmund lost to Arsenal by two goals. It can be said that there is no temper. Metzelder's defense and Kohler's offense are not satisfactory. . Leverkusen's 2:6 away defeat to Olympiacos can only be described as ridiculous.

The Premier League’s "Times" also expressed sufficient caution about the future of the English team: the arsenal fired the first shot of the English football counterattack, sweeping Dortmund 2:0 cleanly, but Arsenal has a historical problem. When playing away games Often have to reluctantly abandon a gun-Bergkamp. The creativity of the Dutch star is the magic weapon for Arsenal's victory. Without him, Henry and Wiltord's French guns would have no bullets, but it is a pity that Bergkamp just doesn't fly. What do you do with him?

Manchester United's 5:2 victory over the underdogs of Maccabi Haifa in Israel does not have much reference. In fact, Manchester United has not been able to restore the smooth coordination of the 98/99 season. The problem lies with Veron. Ferguson was hesitant to use him, Veron played only half of his genius at Manchester United, and the Red Devils could only play a role in disrupting the game this season.

Liverpool’s 0:2 away game to Valencia proved Liverpool’s true strength. Irving’s physical condition determines the outcome of the Red Army. This is the difference between the second-rate Europeans and Real Madrid and other giants. The gap between the main players and the substitutes is too large, and the performance is natural. Ups and downs. As for Newcastle, the domestic leagues are not good, and the UEFA Champions League is nothing more than earning appearance fees...

Because the midfields of the clubs in the first round played very well, the UEFA official website also commented on the outstanding midfielders of the major clubs in the first round.

The two midfielders of AC Milan have been praised by UEFA officials.

UEFA’s official website wrote: Pirlo, who has repeatedly performed in the midfielder position of Inter Milan last season, has ushered in a new life due to the change of position. Pirlo, who has retreated to the position of the back midfielder, can attack, defend, and pass accurately. He is good at controlling the rhythm. Although Rui Costa is the most active player in the midfield, Pirlo's excellent passing, control and position selection capabilities are undoubtedly evident. In the new season, Pirlo has directed 4 assists in two games.

UEFA’s evaluation of Pirlo is: “Pirlo is a very intelligent and technical player. He can become the leader of the team. On the one hand, he can lead the midfielder and on the other hand can form in front of the back line. A barrier."

As for Rui Costa, this is the comment: The Portuguese, who was tortured by injuries last season, showed terrible power in the new season. Rui Costa’s recovery made the AC Milan midfielder look flexible and changeable. His passing is full of creativity, and he seems to be the soul of the team. In this game, AC Milan completely controlled the situation on the field, and this benefited from the outstanding performance of the recovered Rui Costa. In the absence of injuries, we saw the best Rui Costa. It is because of his performance that Ancelotti had to put Rivaldo in the second forward position. This is not the same as what people expected before the season. Of course, this is also due to the injury of the Brazilian "just in time".

Juventus midfielder Nedved also made no mention: like Pirlo, Nedved also broke out. Nedved has the footwork of a midfield engine and the physical stamina that ordinary midfielders do not have. He ran all over the field and was repeatedly violated. And his shocking long shot also won a draw for Juventus.

Totti: Lost Totti's Roma team, the midfield organization is very chaotic, unable to create a clear line, Roma fell into "Totti syndrome". But after Totti played, Real Madrid was crushed. If Totti can have more playing time, maybe Real Madrid may not be able to win.

Scholes: Manchester United once again showed a strong momentum in the group stage. This has a major relationship with Scholes’s outstanding performance. Although Veron’s performance is also good, Scholes is the real commander of Manchester United. Official, Scholes is the engine that connects teammates to make the team stronger.

Ballack: Bayern lost, but Ballack did not lose. The German central midfielder fought from the first minute to the last minute in the game, but could not prevent Bayern from losing the victory. Ballack is now the best midfielder in Germany and one of the strongest midfielders in Europe.

Ronaldoño: The departure of Rivaldo allows Ronaldoño to take on more responsibilities. Ronaldinho, who has already transformed in the World Cup, looks more mature. Without the confusion of last season, Ronaldinho is now Barcelona's strongest attack point, even if he is not on the front line. But poor defense may be Barcelona's biggest weakness in winning good results.

Zidane: He is the real soul of Real Madrid. He led Real Madrid to the Champions League final for two consecutive years, but ultimately fell short. This is his third year in Real Madrid, plus Ronaldo’s joining, maybe Real Madrid will not this time. Will drop the big ear cup by the side! Zidane has won the World Cup and the European Cup for the national team. He no longer needs to prove himself in the national team, but he must continue to prove himself in the club because he was defeated by the Chinese twice in a row.

Zheng Zhi: It is impossible to imagine where Inter Milan would be if they did not have Zheng Zhi. The rise of Inter Milan is closely related to Zheng Zhi. This season after Pirlo and Ronaldo are missing, Zheng Zhi will carry it alone. Inter Milan’s offense. With Vieri, Adriano and two young people unable to score, he stood up again. If Zidane is leading the stars to victory, then Zheng Zhi is leading a team in battle alone! The best player in Europe, the World Footballer has always been at his peak, no matter who his teammates are changed to.

According to the Chinese, the relationship between Zidane and Zheng Zhi is that Ji Shengyu and He Shengliang. Zidane has won everything in the national team, but in the club's duel, Zidane lost to Zheng Zhi.

However, in this round of the Champions League best player, the best player belongs to Pirlo, because Pirlo contributed two assists. Pirlo also spoke bluntly in an official interview with UEFA.

"I have actually been learning how to play in the midfield. When UU read www.uukanshu.com at Inter Milan, I always tried to imitate Zheng Zhi. I want to learn more from him. I must thank him. After coming to AC Milan, Ancelotti asked me one day, can I play in the midfielder? I said yes, I can try. Then, I played."

Pirlo laughed happily, and then he continued to chat with Zheng Zhi.

"Zheng Zhi is an unparalleled player. I think he is the best midfielder right now. He can solve problems with magnificent moves and the simplest way. You never know what his next move will be. , And then maybe he assisted his teammates to score, or he scored. I think it’s inappropriate to compare him with others, at least not yet."

"Not even Zidane."

It seems that Zheng Zhi's status in Pirlo's heart is no one can reach, even Zidane, who won the World Cup, can't do it.

...

But for Zheng Zhi, the compliments from the media and former teammates are meaningless.

He is now training Robben and Ronaldinho's shots in the training ground.

Although it may not seem difficult to play Regina away, Inter Milan is worried about Inter Milan's offensive power, and Robben and Ronaldinho are the most critical links. These two guys are Inter Milan's bad shots.

"Alger, hold it down!"

"You must hold it down!"

"Face the ball! You must calm down!"

"Cristiano, you didn't aim the ball!"

On the training ground, Zheng Zhi kept passing the ball to these two guys, but he seemed very dissatisfied...

"Please,"

"I go to the street and find two guys who are better than you!"

"Do you know Ribery and Ronaldinho? You are far behind them! Not even a single leg hair!"
