Chapter 115 The Old Club Among the Top 4 of the Champions League
As of May 2, the quarter-finals of the Champions League are all over, and the top four of the Champions League are hotly contested.
This time the Champions League semi-finals were a surprise.
Paris Saint-Germain made a comeback from adversity, kicked Barcelona out of the Champions League stage again, and continued to move forward with its head held high.
Liverpool played steadily, showing strong dominance and crushing Porto.
The most shocking thing is that Ajax defeated Juventus forcefully, causing the Bianconeri led by Cristiano Ronaldo to end with hatred.
In this game, Ajax's youth army completely tore apart Juventus' defense with their tireless running.
Juventus still uses various styles of play in the league, but it turns out that Serie A's tactics are too old-fashioned and outdated and are no longer suitable for modern, fast-paced games.
Although in the first round, Ronaldo used an incredible cross-position to score a goal, he was still unable to turn the tide.
This was like trying to extend their life, and ultimately lost their ticket to the Champions League semi-finals at their home court.
Ajax successfully advanced to the semi-finals and became a new topic in Europe.
The Ajax club is even more confident that they will replicate Tottenham Hotspur's legend of being at the top of the Champions League.
Of course, this is just talk. After all, no one thinks Ajax can shake Liverpool.
Liverpool this season has been a little too scary. Throughout the Champions League, they didn't have a very eye-catching performance, but they didn't make too many mistakes either. They played steadily and kept moving forward.
This kind of stability makes many people feel that Liverpool has not yet exerted its full strength and they are still hiding something.
Of course, there is also the factor of Klopp as the head coach. As a meritorious coach who has led Dortmund to two Champions League finals, he is very aware of the strengths and weaknesses of the youth army.
Although Klopp had suffered losses at the hands of Tottenham, strictly speaking, Klopp had just taken over as Liverpool head coach at the time and the team had not yet been formed.
If the current Liverpool team competes with the Tottenham team of that year, it is really impossible to determine who will lose and who will win.
...
The last spot in the Champions League was taken by Tottenham Hotspur.
In the Premier League civil war,
Tottenham Hotspur defeated Guardiola's Manchester City and advanced to the semi-finals of the Champions League.
In this game, Sun Xingmin fully utilized his thigh attributes and scored two goals in a row, completely defeating the Blue Moon.
The Korean star shines in Europe, and this time, he does not rely on anyone, but uses his own strength to completely dominate a game.
However, after scoring the goal, Son Heung-min's celebration became a hot topic.
When Son Heung-min first came to Tottenham, although he was shy, his celebrations were full of tricks. However, today's Son Heung-min's celebrations are very simple.
Pointing to the sky with both hands, he ran with a smile, without any arrogance.
This change made Tottenham fans feel familiar. They seemed to see the shadow of that person in Sun Xingmin.
Some bored Tottenham fans even replayed past games and finally saw something special.
For example, when Son Heung-min is on the bench, he is always in a daze.
His physical fitness has made him the best player in the team. He trains extremely hard and can often be seen staying on the team for additional training.
It all looks too much like someone.
To this end, a Tottenham fan sent out a tweet.
‘After Yi left, Sun Huo became like Yi! ’
Many fans left likes and comments below, full of emotions.
But they are not too frustrated because the person they have been thinking about will return to White Hart Lane in the Champions League semi-finals.
But this time, he was an opponent.
...
The Champions League semi-finals in the first half, Paris Saint-Germain VS Tottenham Hotspur.
For the English media, they naturally hope that Tottenham Hotspur will win and recreate the beautiful scene of the Champions League and Premier League civil war.
But in fact, Tottenham Hotspur must resist the pressure from Paris Saint-Germain if they want to advance to the final.
Although Paris Saint-Germain's current situation is very bad, Tottenham Hotspur will not underestimate them because of this.
As long as Yi Le is present, they will devote themselves to it with 100% attitude.
No one knows better than them how terrifying this man who once brought the highest honor to White Hart Lane is.
Moreover, when the "Paris is sinking" theory was popular, the English media were the first to stand up and remind them to be wary of Paris.
England is the base camp of "Yi Le". Led by De Bruyne, a large number of stars are touting and promoting Yi Le.
In this case, the media also followed suit and promoted Yile.
Of course, Yile's own performance is also very important. Whether in the Premier League or Ligue 1, Yile has never disappointed.
As an Englishman, this player who once brought them glory has now become their opponent. This is the saddest thing.
No matter what, this is something they don't want to face, but they have to face it.
In another interview, current Tottenham coach Pochettino highly praised Yi Le.
"Yi's performance will be the key to whether Paris can win. It is undeniable that Yi is already at the same level as Cristiano Ronaldo, Messi and others."
"Every move he makes affects a team. Although he does not have the domineering power of Cristiano Ronaldo, he can still give his teammates confidence with his solid actions. He is always influencing everything around him, allowing outstanding people to gather together. Beside us, let’s strive towards the top together!”
"For the next game, to be honest, I don't know how to deal with the PSG midfield."
"Two seasons ago, this shouldn't have been an issue that Tottenham needed to consider, but in fact, Yi is standing opposite us!"
"I think this is something that is very difficult for Tottenham fans to accept, but it is something we have to face up to."
"Of course, we will not give in easily. Today's Tottenham are no longer the team they once were. Our playing style has undergone tremendous changes. Our strikers are sharper. If Paris wants to limit Tottenham through the midfield, Stinging the performance of the forward line, believe me, this will be a very difficult thing. After all, Yi needs to fight against his once close teammates!"
Pochettino smiled happily and said: "They understand Yi's playing style very well, and they also know how to restrict him. Okay, I'll stop here. Next, we will prove it with the game!"
...
Snapped! !
Boas threw the newspaper on the desk, looked at Michelle and said coldly: "Man, help me burn it!"
Michelle grinned and looked at Boas helplessly.
At this time, Boas was like a child having a tantrum.
‘You bastard, you didn’t even mention me once in the whole article, who are you looking down on? ’
‘Don’t forget, I am your ex! ’
Of course, a tantrum is a tantrum, but at this time Boas has a headache.
If it were Paris Saint-Germain in the past, he would not be afraid of Pochettino's Tottenham at all, but now this Paris team is injured and tired, and it is a disabled team.
This gave Boas a headache, and he also extremely regretted his previous four-front battle.
Now he is praying that Cavani, Mbappe and Di Maria will not be injured. If they are injured, he will be useless as a forward.
