Chapter 346 Quarterfinals
Although Italy was crying, but in the Champions League, the Italian media became arrogant, because Serie A swept the four teams in the quarterfinals.
Yes, all four Serie A teams have advanced. The day before Cagliari defeated Liverpool, the Milan duo had already secured promotion, while Cagliari advanced with Juventus.
Unlike all four Serie A teams that have advanced, La Liga has been wiped out this season. The remaining four teams in the top eight are Chelsea, Bayern Munich, Lyon and PSV Eindhoven.
Occupying half of the country also allowed the Italians to immerse themselves in the illusion that Serie A is still the world's number one league. However, this has nothing to do with Li Yi, a Chinese. What Li Yi cares about now is the next draw.
Speaking of which, before the draw, the Italian media still wanted to win the semi-finals. It has to be said that all four teams entered the quarter-finals and almost blinded them. How could UEFA allow such a thing to happen.
Therefore, when the results of the quarter-final draw came out, the Italians shouted shady and cursed UEFA, because the four teams in Serie A will have the most direct collision.
Cagliari drew Juventus, which can be said to be a continuation of the league battle. In the league, Cagliari was the best, and Juventus was behind him, and he couldn't even breathe.
Now, Juventus have a new opportunity, a chance to take revenge on Cagliari, and what better chance of revenge than knocking out the opponent in the Champions League?
So most Italians are scolding UEFA, but a small number of Juventus fans are very satisfied with the result of the draw.
However, Juventus fans seem a little too optimistic. Although they have only played against each other this season, it can be seen from this match that Juventus does not have any advantage when facing Cagliari.
"I really think this result is very good." When Li Yi and the coaching staff watched the result of the draw, others were scolding UEFA's secret manipulation, but Li Yi was very happy.
Although Li Yi has no sense of belonging to Serie A, and the fall of Serie A is inevitable, he still doesn't like Juventus. Coupled with the current grievances, Li Yi feels that it is a good thing to be in the Champions League.
"Isn't it something to be happy to sprinkle salt on the wounds of a deadly enemy?" Li Yicai continued when all eyes were on him.
In fact, Cagliari's coaching staff is not disgusted with being drawn to Juventus, and is even a little happy. Compared with several other teams, Cagliari is too familiar with Juventus.
Therefore, for this draw, the two teams readily accepted it, and even thought it was the best arrangement. Juventus is determined to complete revenge in the Champions League, and Cagliari wants to continue to step on Juventus.
For the rest of the draw, AC Milan and Inter Milan ushered in the Champions League derby after the end of the league derby. Chelsea drew the Bundesliga giants.
Of course, this means that in the eyes of ordinary fans, teams that can break into the quarter-finals should not be underestimated, especially in the knockout rounds of the Champions League.
Some are happy and some are sad, but after the lottery, everyone's attention will definitely shift to the league. The quarter-finals will have to wait until April. At this time, everyone's attention will definitely return to the league.
The No.20 eight-round league will welcome the Roma team at home. Well, this is another team with a deep grudge against Cagliari, and it can even be said to be a deadly enemy.
But now Cagliari obviously looks down on Rome. At the beginning of last season, Rome still needs the existence that Cagliari looks up to, but this season, Cagliari has already looked down on Rome.
In the last seven rounds, Rome has only won two victories, two wins, two draws and three losses. After 27 league rounds, Rome has only accumulated 35 points.
If a survey were done now, Li Yi would definitely become the most hated person by the Romans, not one of them.
Because in the eyes of the Romans, their downfall started with the game against Cagliari last season. Since that game last season, the team captain’s reputation has become bad, and the league team itself has also been bad. After that game, Rome’s record began to decline in an all-round way.
Even the Romans have always felt that Cagliari took Rome's Champions League place last season. If the Roma team entered the Champions League, then Rome can invest more in the transfer market this summer.
Well, these are all nonsense, anyway, the summary is one sentence, it's all Li Yi's fault, if there is one more thing to add, it is that the Romans hate Li Yi.
In fact, apart from the Cagliari people, other Italian teams hated Li Yi and Cagliari. It is not an exaggeration to say that the current Cagliari is like a big devil besides the Cagliari people.
No, before the game, almost everyone in the media was encouraging and supporting Rome, hoping that Rome could take revenge and end Cagliari's winning streak and undefeated.
However, as the big devil, Cagliari will definitely not let the Italians get what they want. When the game started 6 minutes, when Milito scored his No.20 goal in the league, there is no suspense about the outcome of this game.
Milito, who was replaced early in the last game, vented all his energy on the Roma team. After half a season of training, although Mex has improved, he is still like a log in front of Milito.
Judging from Max's career trajectory, it is true that he came to Rome by mistake, but he chose the path himself, and he has never regretted it in his life.
Mex once again became a loophole in Roma's defense. Before the end of the first half, Milito scored 22 goals in the league. The score of 2:0 was also the final score of the first half.
In the second half, Rome wanted to counterattack, but in fact the Romans did not do so. Instead, Cagliari scored another goal, which completely lost the suspense of the game.
No, it should be said that the suspense has been lost by the end of the first half, because in the first half of the game, Roma was overwhelmed by Cagliari and had almost no ability to return.
So when Cagliari led 3:0, the Romans became a little annoyed, and the next thing was predictable, and a series of fouls almost ruined the game.
Fortunately, the referee had a good control of the situation, three yellow cards and one red card. Although one of the yellow cards belonged to Cagliari, two yellow cards and one red card were enough to calm the Romans down.
In the end, the score of 3:0 was maintained until the end of the game. Although the Cagliari players still wanted to score, they were pressed down by Li Yi.
Now is a critical period. Since the game has already been won, there is no need to entangle it. If there is any accident because of this, it will really be worth the candle.
Of course, after the match, Li Yi wouldn't show mercy, anyway, they won't meet again, no, it's not like there's no chance, both teams in the Coppa Italia are still there.
