Chapter 743 You have cancer, right?
Vardy is very concerned about this draw. Although Inter Milan is very strong and has a clear championship appearance, you should know that football is round and you will never know what will happen on the court in the next second.
UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland, representatives of various clubs and major media gathered together. Although they were chatting and laughing, the tension on their faces could not be covered up.
There is no more principle of the same country avoiding the same group avoiding the same group, and this draw will also determine the opponent and schedule of the semi-finals, which is an important abnormality.
The top three Premier League teams, La Liga and the two teams, and the Serie A, Bundesliga and Portuguese Super League have their own representatives. This has been considered a season with relatively even distribution of the top eight in recent years.
A few seasons ago, the Champions League was a three-man transfer in the Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, and other leagues were just a role of accompanying the prince to study, so at most it was fun to watch.
Which Premier League semifinals does not have the strength to be the Champions League quarterfinals?
Which of the top three in the northern Serie A is not strong?
In addition to the two champions of Real Madrid and Barcelona, Valencia and Villarreal are also obvious to all.
It is already very difficult for the three leagues to compete for the quarterfinals.
But this season has changed a little.
Juventus has not recovered its vitality, AC Milan has not entered the Champions League at all, and Roma has always been incompetent, so Inter Milan is the only one left in the Champions League quarter-finals.
Real Madrid's chaos in La Liga made them lose their competitiveness, and Valencia gradually fell, leaving only Barcelona and Villarreal to carry the banner of La Liga.
The Premier League is still always strong, but unfortunately Manchester United met the stronger Inter Milan and was unfortunately eliminated.
However, no matter what, the value of the quarterfinals is here. No matter what the result is, there will be four death-like duels.
The exciting moment finally came. Even Vardy, who was sitting on the sofa at home watching the live broadcast, felt a little nervous. This tension seemed to be the nervousness when he was about to step onto the highest podium, which made him unable to control himself.
Ilena might have seen Vardy's strange emotions, held Vardy's hand, and gave Vardy more warmth. This is what she could do for Vardy silently.
In fact, Vardy feels that according to UEFA's usual urinary nature in the Champions League, Inter Milan is destined to meet a strong opponent.
Everyone knows that Inter Milan is the strongest. So, instead of letting Inter Milan win the championship smoothly, it is better to arrange the strongest opponents for Inter Milan all the way and let them embark on a real kingly path. Such a Champions League champion has the highest value and is simply unimaginable.
Of course, as for whether Inter Milan can withstand this pressure, it is probably not something that UEFA needs to consider. They only have the topic and attention.
However, when the lottery guest took out the Inter Milan ball, there was an uproar. Vardy clearly saw the lottery guest's expression stagnated, and Platini also looked like he was seeing a ghost?
Inter Milan actually encountered Porto, the weakest in the quarterfinals!
This result is probably not what UEFA wants, that is, there is a mistake in drawing lots!
Vardy didn't know which link had a problem, but the accident was an accident, otherwise Platini would not be unable to control his expression.
I smiled contemptuously and let you show off, let's mess it up this time!
What's even more funny is that Vardy clearly saw a subtle move by the lottery guest, and he seemed to want to stuff Inter Milan's small ball back as soon as possible.
Of course, it was just a subtle action, and then he reacted, showed an ugly smile, and no extra action.
Vardy estimated that this guy must have wanted to cry, and UEFA will definitely not let him be a lottery guest in the future.
The result was really beyond expectations. It was already a consensus among Inter Milan to meet a strong team, but unexpectedly, the opponent turned into the weakest Porto in the end. What routine was this?
Of course, the representatives of other teams were relieved. Finally, they did not meet Inter Milan in the peak of their lives. Only Porto representatives were sad. Who would be unlucky?
Soon, all the lottery results were announced and the lottery ceremony officially ended.
Inter Milan plays Porto first and then away, Villarreal faces Arsenal, and the winners of the two sets of matches will advance to the semi-finals;
The remaining two sets of matches are Barcelona's match against Bayern and the Premier League civil war Chelsea against Liverpool.
It's really that I'm talking about whether there is any trick in this result, but at least every showdown is very valuable and enough to attract the attention of fans.
The TV was turned off with a snap, and Vardy and Ilena looked at each other and laughed. Whether it was Villarreal or Arsenal in the semi-finals, at least playing Porto, Inter Milan had no problem reaching the semi-finals. With Porto's strength, even if Inter Milan hides some of its main players, they will probably easily defeat this Portuguese super giant.
The only thing that is interesting is whether Mourinho, who once led Porto to the Champions League, will save face for his old club and try to win as few as possible on Porto!
As for whether the lottery result is a conspiracy theory, there are many different opinions
Inter Milan was very happy to draw a relatively weak team like Porto, so the atmosphere on the training ground was relaxed, and even Mourinho was full of smiles.
With this luck, Inter Milan achieved two wins and one draw in the next three rounds of Serie A, and continued to remain unbeaten and remained far ahead in the standings.
In other words, as long as Inter Milan does not lose to Palermo at home in the next round of Serie A, Inter Milan will be able to defend the Serie A championship seven rounds ahead of schedule.
However, before this, Inter Milan had to fight Porto first, strive to solve the opponent at home and not leave any trouble for away games.
Based on this principle, Inter Milan played all his main players at Meacha Stadium and vowed to fight a beautiful battle.
However, even Vardy did not expect that Inter Milan, who was used to being arrogant this season, was caught off guard by Porto at home.
Porto's current lineup is no longer the team that Mourinho won the Champions League, but what Mourinho left to this Porto team has not changed, tenacious, unyielding, and persistent.
In the first half, Porto defended tenaciously in his half. Everyone seemed to have tried their best. Even though the whole world was not optimistic about them, they still looked forward to themselves. They would never think they were here for vacation in Italy!
Perhaps it was because of underestimating the enemy, or perhaps because the opponent's defense put too much pressure on them, Inter Milan's fierce attack in the first half did not get a goal. Instead, when the first half was approaching the end, Porto seized an opportunity and broke Inter Milan's goal with a quick counterattack.
The whole world football world was shocked. No one would have thought that Inter Milan would actually fall behind Porto, whose strength was far inferior to Inter Milan at home.
When Inter Milan players walked off the stadium at the end of the first half, their faces revealed disbelief and even a little confused. They hadn't seen this kind of defense for a long time, so they all felt a little at a loss.
Mourinho's face looked ugly. He would never have thought that Inter Milan would actually fall behind at home, and his opponent was his old club Porto.
Inter Milan performed poorly in the first half?
Not necessarily!
Even if you underestimate the enemy, you can fight all the tactics you should play. If you change it to ordinary opponents, even the powerful teams, you may not be able to withstand Inter Milan's fierce attack.
But the problem is that this Porto is too tenacious. Just like the tenaciousness of his coaching period, they defended the goal and waited for the opportunity to clear the clouds and see the blue sky.
After all, Inter Milan is a bit too smooth. Why do they need to play against the wind?
In other words, since Vardy came to Inter Milan, Inter Milan has always maintained a stance of dominating the world at any time. Usually, the results of one attack have been achieved, so there is no chance to let the opponent lead.
It is precisely because of this strength that once the team has a headwind, they are at a loss and don’t know how to play!
However, Porto is different. In the Champions League range, which opponent is not better than them? So they can only fight to the death and have no other choice!
Since it is not a technical and tactical issue, it can only be attributed to the mentality issue. How can we adjust the team's mentality and defeat Porto in one fell swoop in the second half? This is the question Mourinho is thinking now.
However, before entering the player passage, Vardy chased after him and said something to him that made him confused.
"You're cancer!"
