Chapter 922

The second focus game of the first leg of the Champions League eighth final ended with a 2-1 away win for Inter.

After the game, "genius" coach Leonardo is to be calm.

In an interview, Leonardo believes that the team's defeat is not the responsibility of a player, the game is not over, the 1-2 result does not mean anything.

"Defeat is always unpleasant. I have to admit that today's defeat makes me feel disappointed. But the game is over and the result of defeat can't be changed. Fortunately, we still have one more game to recover the defeat. It's not over yet. The door to promotion is open to everyone. I think we should forget what happened today as soon as possible

When asked if the team had any tactical mistakes or deviations in today's game, Leonardo said: "even if it's a 0-0 game, it's still very difficult for us to play away in the next round. Today, our guiding ideology before the game is very clear. We try our best to find the opponent's flaws without losing the ball. The players perform very well. Our first goal is to make up a missed shot and the second one is a world wave. We can't blame the goalkeeper for these. We can only say that our luck is a bit bad. "

"We have never been afraid of Manchester United. Even if we are not in the best condition, we still create obvious scoring opportunities. It is a big problem for us not to score at home. But as long as we are calm and calm, we have a chance to turn over. 2-0 away is not an impossible task."

Compared with Leonardo's enigmatic self-confidence, Manchester United manager Ferguson is much more modest. He said that his opponent is the defending champion and also the home game. It's very difficult to get a good result here. Fortunately, we have Gao Xiaodong, who decides the direction and result of the game. The 1-2 score is better than I expected, but it doesn't mean that I am happy If we want to go back to Old Trafford, we have to forget the score and start from 0-0.

Obviously, Ferguson is too cautious and Leonardo is too ignorant.

The first leg away 2-1 score in the whole history of the Champions League, the home team promotion probability is only 20%, the visiting team promotion probability is as high as 80%.

This also means that the defending champion Inter Milan promotion probability is quite low, want to promote almost rely on a miracle to achieve.

After the first leg of the eighth finals, Barcelona lost to Arsenal 1-2 away from home, with a promotion probability of only 51.8%. Real Madrid, the second favorite, drew Lyon 1-1 away from home, with a promotion probability of only 59%, while Manchester United's promotion probability was as high as more than 80%. Therefore, the lottery company adjusted the winning odds immediately after the game.

Libo gambling company regards Manchester United as the most popular team to win the championship, followed by Barcelona, and then Real Madrid. After the home defeat of Inter Milan, their odds of winning the championship dropped to the seventh place of all 16 teams, with the odds of 40-1.

moreover, William Hill gambling company still thinks that Barcelona is the most popular team to win the Champions League. Barcelona's odds are 2.75-1, Manchester United's are 1-3, while Real Madrid's are far behind Inter Milan and Manchester United, and galaxy's odds are 5-1.

After the match, major European media commented on the first leg of the eighth finals.

Bild, the largest circulation media in Europe, commented after the match: "the strong team is not strong, the weak team is not weak. This is the deepest impression of the first leg. The five teams with the highest odds to win the championship are only Manchester United and Chelsea. Considering that the opponents of Chelsea are too unconvincing, it is no accident that Manchester United will become the favorite to win the championship."

British "times" commented: "after the first leg, in fact, Manchester United have been basically promoted, Leonardo's speech after the game is arrogant to the extreme, he thought he was Jose

Italy's "La Gazzetta dello Sport" on the Inter Milan match into such a heartache, "AC Milan lost to Tottenham, inter lost to Manchester United, the Milan duo overnight into a Milan double bear, Rome also lost to the Donetsk miners, the promotion road is almost blocked, for Inter, last season has won the treble, maybe this season stop The top 16 doesn't matter, but for Serie A, in fact, it has reached the critical moment of life and death. In the current European points, the Bundesliga is nearly 8 points ahead of Serie A, which also means that only three teams will be directly promoted to the group stage of the Champions League next season, and the increasingly strong Bundesliga will increase from three to four

"La Gazzetta dello Sport" said: whether you want to or not, you must accept the fact that Serie A is completely defeated, today's Serie A is helpless, still paying for yesterday's telephone door. A thin camel is bigger than a horse, but where is Serie A like a camel? I'm going to be a donkey In the future, each of the three teams has 90 minutes to save themselves. Milan must overcome the speed of Tottenham, Roma must overcome the temperature of Ukraine and inter must overcome the hardness of Manchester United

Spanish "Marca" commented: "La Liga's three teams, two draws and one loss, are standing on the edge of the cliff, the most powerful Barcelona away lost to Arsenal, Messi has not been able to become the Savior, although back home Barcelona still have a lot of promotion hope, but arsenna is not a fuel-efficient light, Real Madrid away to get the 1-1 result is not bad, but in the future Ang has always been the bitter master of Real Madrid. Most of Real Madrid's title of Champions League 16 is brought by Lyon. If Real Madrid want to advance to the final eight in the Bernabeu, I'm afraid they have to rely on the magic of coach Jose. As for Valencia, after the 1-1 draw at home by Schalke, they have nothing to say, now they can wash and sleepAlthough the French league is ranked at the end of the five leagues, Lyon and Marseille remain unbeaten in the first round. Marseille's 0-0 draw with Bayern Munich also has a promotion probability of more than 30%. Lyon's 1-1 draw with powerful Real Madrid has given Real Madrid an away goal, but Lyon have a psychological advantage against Real Madrid and may not be able to make a surprise.

After the match, France's "L'Equipe" also commented on the first leg, saying that the Champions League was basically born in four teams: Manchester United, Barcelona, Real Madrid and Chelsea. If one of the two teams in the French first division can play in the last eight, it will be a victory.

"L'Equipe" predicted in advance the best shooter in the Champions League and the golden ball award next year. French reporters believe that Messi, Ronaldo and Gao Xiaodong are still strong contenders for the best shooter. Whether their team can win the Champions League is the key to their winning the golden ball award.
