Chapter 359 The Struggle Between Italy and South Korea

"Share 58 unbeaten games? NoNoNo I believe that we will not share this record with AC Milan next week." Li Yi said proudly after the match.

"Damn it!" Seeing Li Yi's hideous face, the Milanese felt resentful in their hearts.

But soon, they had no choice but to face Cagliari's undefeated AC Milan and there was nothing they could do. Maybe AC ​​Milan had a chance to end Cagliari, but they couldn't grasp it at that time.

The people of Cagliari ushered in the celebration again. Three days ago, Cagliari was still celebrating the successful defending of the league title. Three days later, Cagliari had already celebrated the longest unbeaten record in the five major leagues of the Pig Run.

With the passage of time and the development of football, it has become very difficult to achieve such an unbeaten game, let alone a non-rich team that created this miracle now.

But not everyone is celebrating. For example, Cagliari's players and coaching staff, because the first round of the semi-final will be a few days later, so the coaches and players don't have the time to relax and celebrate.

Although Eindhoven is recognized as a persimmon, no one really regards Eindhoven as a persimmon after reaching the semi-finals.

Eindhoven's head coach is Hiddink, a head coach who often creates miracles. Since the 02 World Cup, the Dutch coach has returned to the Netherlands and picked up Eindhoven's coach. He also has two Korean players.

Park Ji-sung and Lee Young-pyo, in addition, PSV also has many good origins, such as Alex, Oyer, Cocu, Van Bommel, Park Ji-sung, Vogel and so on.

To be honest, seeing the two Korean players in the PSV Eindhoven team, Li Yi really felt that he hated iron and steel. It's not that he didn't give him a chance, but what about those people in China?Even the players themselves are not sure, each of them looks like the boss of my second child.

Time passed quickly, and the Cagliari hadn't come out of the joy of being unbeaten in 58 games and defending the champions before Hiddink took PSV's players out.

"Asian Derby? What's the comparison? I'm the head coach, and they're just players." Li Yi said disdainfully to the Korean media.

Park Ji-sung and Lee Young-pyo are indeed top players in Asia, and they are already the absolute main players in Eindhoven, but this is Serie A. The Eredivisie was indeed full of stars, but that was only in the past.

Besides, Li Yi is the head coach, the Serie A champion coach, and a young coach well-known throughout Europe, while Park Ji-sung and Lee Young-pyo are just players, two players who have not proven themselves in the five major leagues, there is no comparison at all.

Therefore, the Chinese media did not mention the so-called derby at all, but the Koreans seized on this point and even boasted that Eindhoven led by Park Ji-sung and Lee Young-pyo will defeat Li Yi and lead Cagliari to enter the final, creating glory that belongs to Korea and the entire Asia.

Well, Han Guo's exaggeration is sometimes hard to compliment. Although Li Yi himself has no bad opinion of Han Guo, some of Han Guo's behaviors are really hard to like.

In fact, Li Yi didn't need to do anything, because the Italians had already started. You know, the hatred of the 02 World Cup had been deeply buried in the Italians' hearts. Now that they met their former enemies, how could the Italians let go of this opportunity.

Just when Eindhoven arrived in Cagliari, countless Italians flocked to Cagliari, and the following tragic reminders can be foreseen.

Not to mention the poor attitude of the hotel staff, everything is perfunctory, and I can't sleep peacefully at night, because there have been fans harassing outside the hotel, and even hotel staff secretly let fans into the hotel.

"Mr. Hiddink You have to be careful, this has nothing to do with Cagliari." In the pre-match interview the next day, facing Hiddink's complaint, Li Yi turned back.

"This is the conflict between Italy and Han Guo, and the aftermath of the 02 World Cup." What else could Hiddink say when Li Yi pointed out his grievances so straightforwardly?
In the 02 World Cup, Hiddink was the head coach of the South Korean team. Although he resigned after the World Cup, he also brought back two Koreans, Park Ji-sung and Lee Young-pyo.

In the face of the Italians pointing at Guus Hiddink, Park Ji-sung and Lee Young-pyo unabashedly, what can PSV say?
Although the 02 World Cup had nothing to do with the Netherlands, as the world's largest event, it is hard for Dutch fans not to pay attention, so naturally they have heard about the 02 World Cup.

As for the condemnation by the Korean media, the Italian media directly dug up the things about the World Cup two years ago, and then the media of the two countries were very happy.

However, Han Guo is only a small country after all, with limited influence. Besides, based on the behavior of the Koreans in the World Cup, it is estimated that the whole world will stand by Italy.

If the Sant'Elia Stadium can accommodate 10 people, then the game against Eindhoven will definitely be full. You must know that nearly [-] Italian fans have flocked to Cagliari in the past two days alone, so you can also know how much Italians hate Koreans.

But it is a pity that only a few people can enter the stadium. The stadium that can only accommodate 5000 people can't even satisfy Cagliari's own fans. How can it be possible to allocate more tickets to neutral fans.

"GuysAs I have always emphasized, Eindhoven's strength is not weak. If not, they would not be able to reach the semi-finals." Li Yi has always been cautious, and the semi-finals should not be taken lightly.

"Think about it As long as we beat Eindhoven, then we will enter the final of the Champions League, the final of the Champions League? Do you know what this means? It means that you have the opportunity to stand on top of Europe." The Champions League champion is the highest honor that the major European leagues can pursue.

"Maybe, this will be the only chance in your career to stand on the final stage." Even if you transfer to a giant, there is no guarantee that you will have a chance to stand on the final stage.

"FinalFinal" Li Yi's words successfully mobilized the enthusiasm of the Cagliari players.

"Very good Now go out beat Eindhoven, let's go to the final together." In this match, Li Yi did not arrange for a veteran player to appear, and even Poboski was replaced by Valbuena.

In the last match, in order to pursue an unbeaten record of 58 games, Li Yi sent all the veterans to the field. Under such a dense schedule, the veterans' physical fitness was obviously a little bit unbearable.

Apart from Li Yi's buff, the reason why Cagliari has so few injuries is that the rotation is reasonable, especially the veterans, and they can't be used too much.

Soon, players from both sides walked out of the Sant'Elia Stadium under the leadership of the German referee, followed by bursts of cheers from the stands.

In the semi-finals of the Champions League, the Cagliari people dare not even dream about it. When the results of the group draw came out at the beginning, the Cagliari people's greatest hope was to qualify for the group as the second, or to get the third place to go to the UEFA Cup.
