Andy Townsend, former captain of the Irish national team, General Aston Villa, has had such a passage in his autobiography.

In the first round of the Premier League, Aston Villa led Manchester United 0 in the first half. Alan Hansen, the commentator, sarcasticated Ferguson, "You will never win the championship with a group of children." When I was heading to the home team's locker room, I passed by the door of the visiting team's locker room, and the door was open. Ferguson stood less than 15 cm away from Steve Bruce.

Both of them were breathing heavily and their faces flushed, but don't get me wrong, they were not those couples who kissed passionately, but because Ferguson was driving his hair dryer, but the two gave me the impression of two roosters in a fight

If you think Ferguson and Steve Bruce have a bad relationship just from Andy Townsend's autobiography, then sorry, you were wrong, an interview in The Times will prove this.

When the reporter asked Birmingham head coach Steve Bruce about Ferguson's retirement, Steve Bruce showed his signature expression that was almost exactly the same as Ferguson, sneered, and replied with a sneer, "Nonsense, the old man can still be a long time, and he may not be able to retire even if you retire."

Some people say that Steve Bruce was regarded as a favorite student by Ferguson. Ferguson repeatedly stated that Steve Bruce is the person who looks most like him, not only because of his personality, but also because the two have a profound master-apprentice relationship.

So, when Manchester United fell into a dilemma and Chelsea was ahead of the pack, a reporter asked Steve Bruce, what did you think most when your Birmingham met Chelsea?

Steve Bruce made a confident expression exactly like Ferguson, "I will help him do what the dead old man can't do."

As a result, his team tied Chelsea with an incredible l in the game, and it was on the road.

This is definitely something that no one can imagine. Chelsea has been in a state of great success recently. The Champions League, the FA Cup and the league are all unstoppable, but now it has been forced into a draw by Birmingham. This has to be said to be a big blow.

So after the game, when the reporter told Ye Qiu that Ferguson called Steve Bruce to give advice before the game, Ye Qiu jokingly scolded, "I hate that damn Ferguson the most."

But soon, Ye Qiu returned to seriousness and shook his head and said, "It's nothing to be tied by Birmingham. To be honest, we can't always maintain a high-level performance and condition, and there will definitely be some ups and downs. Moreover, we just played with Bayern Munich in the middle of the week, which has more or less affected our condition."

When asked by reporters whether they were worried that this draw would interrupt Chelsea's excellent form, Ye Qiu said that he was not worried at all, "If we were affected by a draw, then we would not be able to get to where we are today."

When another reporter asked Ye Qiu about the topic of Ferguson's advice for Steve Bruce, Ye Qiu did not forget to attack his old opponent.

"I think this statement is ridiculous. If Ferguson really has a way to defeat me and Chelsea, then he doesn't need to borrow Steve Bruce's hand, he will definitely take revenge on his own."

Ye Qiu's words made all the reporters present laugh, and they must have been thinking that if they conveyed these words to Ferguson, they would have been another round of bombarded verbal battle with Ferguson's character, which would have been very lively, especially when the FA Cup semi-finals and the 33rd round of the league match between Manchester United and Chelsea was about to come.

In fact, everyone knows that this draw will not affect Chelsea's championship plan. At best, it can only be said to postpone Chelsea's championship date. It can even be said that this season's Premier League champion already belongs to Chelsea, and it is difficult for others to compete, even if Chelsea will focus all their energy on the Champions League and the FA Cup next time.

But what Steve Bruce's team adopted when they met Chelsea was brave in the words of Steve Bruce, and in Ye Qiu's words, it was a brutal and rough tactic, and Bayern Munich also followed suit.

Before the second leg of the Champions League knockout stage, Magat and Kahn expressed their confidence in the second leg of the home match against Chelsea, but also said that Bayern Munich must use more aggressive tactics to suppress Chelsea.

What is aggressiveness?

In the first minute of the game, Robert Kovac interpreted this with his performance. After Drogba had already passed the ball, he still stepped on Drogba's ankle. The Ivorians were carried out of the field for several minutes to treat, and later he limped after returning to the court.

But less than 10 minutes later, Robert Kovac once again brought Drogba down. This time the referee finally couldn't stand it and gave the Croatian a yellow card.

Robert Kovac's roughness is only part of Bayern Munich's fierce tactics, and other players have adopted the same type of tactics to restrain Chelsea, which has led to Chelsea being constantly violated during the game and being unable to show their own state. They performed very sluggish throughout the first half.

Chelsea performed poorly, and Bayern Munich, who only thought about fouls, also performed poorly.

During the halftime break, Ye Qiu repeatedly cheered the players and kept calling on the players to unite and unite as one.

"I firmly believe that as long as we all work hard to unite and all of us work together, no matter how savage the opponent is, we are fearless because we will definitely be able to defeat the opponent."

"Don't they want to play more bravely? Well, how brave they are, then we will be more braver than them. They kick us and we will give them a kick, but it is not a revenge on them, but the ball under our feet is knocked into their goal, so that the coward who only knows how to foul also tastes our power."

"Don't be timid, don't be afraid, because we are the strongest"

Schweinsteiger is still playing his right forward, and his mission is to help Saniel pinch Chelsea's left.

This young German man is a little afraid of Ronaldinho because he never guessed what the Brazilian would do next. He guessed wrongly almost every time, and often, guessing wrongly to his opponent's intentions often represents a fatal mistake.

But you should never doubt the willpower and game execution of German players.

Therefore, every time Ronaldinho gets the ball, Schweinsteiger can be seen around Sagnol. His performance rate is even higher than that of the midfielder Demichelis, who was entrusted with important tasks in this game. The Argentinian existed to liberate Barack, but in fact he did not do well.

At least, every time Ronaldinho gets the ball, Schweinsteiger can form double-team with Saniel as soon as possible.

But the Brazilians are so slippery, just like a non-stick loach, so slippery that you can't even catch them.

When Schweinsteiger thought of grabbing, Ronaldinho had already successfully passed through the gap between him and Saniel, and dribbled the ball horizontally against the penalty area line, reaching Demichelis.

Because Schweinsteiger's catch, although he didn't hold it tightly, he grabbed Ronaldinho's jersey, which caused the Brazilian's physical balance to be broken and he staggered a little while dribbling, which seemed a bit big after one trip.

Argentinian Demikelis suddenly had a bright eye. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Being able to steal the ball from world footballer Ronaldinho is not an opportunity that any player has, and it will definitely make him famous.

But when Demichelis stretched out his legs and was about to intercept the ball, and he was even fantasizing that he should use inertia to knock down the Brazilian, so that he could converge and not be so swaying, Ronaldinho suddenly accelerated the pace and dunked the ball to his right, barely let the ball avoid Demichelis's kick.

When the ball reached the right side, Ronaldinho poked forward with his right foot. The ball rolled forward gently like a straight line.

Lampard rushed up quickly from behind. He didn't know how many times he had cooperated with Ronaldinho for the same cooperation. The two had already cooperated very skillfully, so he almost didn't need any consideration when he got up, because he knew very well that Ronaldinho's passes could always pass to his step, allowing him to shoot more easily.

Standing firmly, swinging his feet, and exerting all his strength, Lampard made a powerful shot before Lucio snatched.

The entire Olympic stadium can clearly hear the air blasting sound of sneakers hitting the ball. This shot seemed to hit everyone's heart, and the ball seemed to be mixed with thunderous force, like a cannonball, drilling straight into Kahn's goal.

The moment the effective whistle sounded, everyone's focus was on clenching their left fists, holding them high above their heads, and Lampard, who was in a victory shape. They all knew very well that the Blues' vice captain was revengeing Bayern Munich's barbaric tactical style in this way, telling them with facts that we don't need to be rough, because that's what the weak will do.

Chelsea players also rushed to Lampard's side and surrounded him. Through this celebration of goals, everyone felt the unity of Chelsea and everyone felt that they were fearless.

Don’t you want to be rough? Don’t you want to be foul? Don’t you want to attack our bodies?

Come on, come on, we are not afraid at all

Because we will destroy you with goals

This is not just a goal, but the total score is behind Cen L, which also has a very psychological blow to Bayern Munich players, especially when they collapsed and discovered that their so-called brave tactical style could not scare the Chelsea players at all, but instead angered the Blue Lion from England. They didn't know what else they could do.

Yes, what would you do when you face such a team?

But Chelsea obviously had not yet calmed down. Deco made a diagonal pass to find Ronaldinho. After the Brazilian superstar quickly threw Sanior away from the left, he made a diagonal pass to the penalty area. Drogba rushed before Robert Kovac and headed the ball and threw the ball into the upper left corner of Kahn's handle. Kahn had no choice but to do anything about this.

After scoring the goal, Drogba slowly stood up from Robert Kovac, clenched his fists, let out a giant elephant-like roar, and glared at Robert Kovac with his expression as if he was telling the Croatians, "You know you're amazing, right?"

From 4:I With less than 30 minutes left in the game, everyone in Bayern Munich also knew clearly that it was impossible for them to reverse the situation and finally had to choose to accept failure.

This score was also maintained until the end, with Chelsea defeating Bayern Munich with a total score of 1 in two rounds.

Ye Qiu was dissatisfied with Bayern Munich's rough style at the post-match press conference after the end of this game.

"I am satisfied with the team's performance. We have encountered difficulties in the game, but my players and I have withstood the pressure very well. We are very united, just like a family. When encountering any problems, we fight side by side. This is very good. I firmly believe that as long as we stick to our beliefs and confidence, we can laugh to the end."

Ye Qiu also gave a rare sarcastic comment on Bayern Munich's head coach Magath.

"I finally know why Mr. Magath never won even be a championship trophy in his life, because as I can win at least one championship trophy every season, at least I will not focus all my energy on how to infringe on the body of the opponent's players like him. I will think about how to play my own football."

Magath, who was sitting next to Ye Qiu, had a pale face, but he looked embarrassed. He did not dare to refute it because he was not qualified to refute it.

As a loser, you have no right to refute the victor's comments

Ye Qiu did not leave him any face. After complaining, he turned around and left the press conference.

It is understandable that he is in a bad mood, because at the end of the league, every player is more or less injured. Now that he fights Bayern Munich in such a tough battle, will the injuries on Chelsea players worsen? Ye Qiu is not sure, but Peter Brandt is not optimistic about Drogba's injury.

The Ivorians could still hold on in the first half, but after scoring the goal in the second half, in 73 minutes, they finally couldn't hold on. They raised their hand and asked Ye Qiu to substitute him and limped.

It’s not that Ye Qiu didn’t want to substitution in the first half, but Drogba said he was fine and could continue, and the team doctor felt that there was no problem. Due to the needs of the team, Ye Qiu did not make the decision to substitution in the first half, and continued to let Drogba play after the break, but he ended up in the second half due to injury, which was definitely not what Ye Qiu expected.

Because of this, Ye Qiu was so sarcastic to Magath, and even used him to mock and mock him for not winning a championship trophy for more than ten years in coaching. If it weren't for normal times, Ye Qiu would definitely not do this.

In fact, even when Beckenbauer was a commentator on the live broadcast of the TV station, he believed that Magath's tactics in this game were indeed very clumsy, while Chelsea showed world-class standards.

"Our players are very relaxed when defending and have no alertness at all. Perhaps they are thinking more about how to foul rather than defense, especially Robert Kovac, who has been teased by Drogba in the game. This is definitely not a performance that a Bayern Munich central defender should have."

"In contrast, Chelsea is definitely the world's top team. I even doubt that anyone in today's football can stop them from continuing to move towards the European throne?"

However, Beckenbauer supported Magath and he also defended Magath.

"Heathfield coached Bayern Munich in U, won four league titles, cup championships and 1 Champions League titles, which will definitely put some pressure on Magath. Before coaching Bayern Munich, Magath's highest achievement was the league runner-up. He is the first time Bayern Munich has ever won any championships in nearly 20 years."

"At this point, Magath has been under tremendous psychological pressure. With Bayern Munich's strength, the performance of the Bundesliga can no longer meet the requirements of fans and management. What they want is the Champions League, to prove their strength in the European arena and defend the dignity of the giants. The away defeat in the first leg undoubtedly almost collapsed."

"So, in this case, any decision he makes should be forgiven, and I also believe that Magath should continue to stay in Bayern Munich, and we should continue to maintain trust and support for him."

European and world media generally gave high praise to Chelsea's first favorite in the Champions League this season, and even the odds of Chelsea winning the championship of William Hill have been continuously lowered.

Almost the world believes that the Champions League this season will become Chelsea’s possession, and Ye Qiu will lead Chelsea to become the first European overlord to successfully defend the title since the Champions League reform, completely establishing Chelsea’s status as a giant.

While Chelsea eliminated Bayern Munich, Porto and AC Milan also played very fiercely. Both sides played in two rounds with a tragic score of 00. However, in the end, Mourinho's Porto was obviously even more lucky. He defeated Ancelotti's AC Milan with a penalty kick and successfully advanced to the semi-finals.

The Champions League champions and runner-ups of last season gathered in the semi-finals, which undoubtedly greatly increased the attention and influence of the semi-finals. Although Mourinho's team plays wildly and has an unbreakable defense, it is called the Greek team of the Champions League by the media, but the combat effectiveness and willpower of this team cannot be underestimated.

At least, Porto's performance is worthy of recognition after reaching the Champions League semi-finals for two consecutive seasons. Many people even think that Mourinho's Porto may not be as likely to win the championship in a flash like the Greek team.

In the other half, Liverpool eliminated Capello with a total score of two rounds, and successfully met with Ajax, who eliminated Lyon.

Among the four semi-final teams, Chelsea, Porto, Liverpool and Ajax, no matter from any aspect, Chelsea is undoubtedly the number one hottest.

But the more optimistic the outside world is and the more flattering it is, the more uneasy Ye Qiu feels.
