曼城问鼎欧冠，车迷的一些内心所想
我前往雷丁当地的酒吧的时候，心里还想着，虽然希望渺茫，但是国米还是有机会在伊斯坦布尔击败曼城的。我满怀期待，而且自认为是有理由这么想的，毕竟在决赛这种场合，任何事情都是有可能的，特别是欧冠这种超大型场面。曼城派出的球员，包括了德布劳内和京多安这两名30+的老将，这可能是他们最后一次争取欧冠的机会了。然后，他们也把握住了这个机会！罗德里的制胜进球，让瓜迪奥拉梦想成真。真是全力以赴带来的胜利！虽然曼城的发挥不能说达到了火力全开的水准，但还是顺利击败了国米，拿到了队史首座欧冠奖杯。
如果我们看看切尔西的阵容，距离曼城还差得远。坎特是我们为数不多的精英球员之一，但他已经远赴沙特淘金，所以，我们亟需找到替代者并且清理队内的众多冗员！说到冗员，卡库绝对是辣鸡中的辣鸡！从来没有哪个球员能够让球迷这么讨厌的！真是集众多缺点于一身的男人。身在伦敦而心在米兰，此不忠也；替补出场而楚庄王，此不智也；薪资奇高而无所作为，此不仁也！此不忠不智不仁之人，当逐出首发，以绝后患。面对俱乐部近10年来最重要的比赛，西蒙尼选择押宝37岁的老将哲科，这就已经说明了很多问题了。如果卢卡库不能在国际米兰首发，那么他在切尔西，就已经没有了未来。卢卡库替补上场以后，一如既往地脚软，自己射门miss了，而且把迪马尔科的头球拒之门外，堪称曼城第12人。虽然有人替他辩护，说卡库上场后，国米攻势有起色，但是我依然觉得，正是卢卡库的“出色”表现，才让曼城最终拿到了冠军。
下次我们去伊蒂哈德的客场时候，体验就完全不同了。我们再也没机会唱“你们没拿过欧冠”的chant了。真是大无语了！当他们上赛季4-0击败我们时，我们嘲讽他们没拿过欧冠冠军，勉强安慰下自己。当然，我们可以继续吹嘘，曼城只有1个欧冠，而我们有2个，但是，这种优势又能够维持多久呢？在瓜迪奥拉的带领下，曼城展现出了超强的稳定性和统治力，短期内，我看不到他们衰败的任何迹象。

I went to my local sports bar in Reading with the idea that even though it was unlikely, Inter Milan could still beat Man City in Istanbul. I was hopeful and had good reason to be. Anything can happen in a final. Especially on such a big occasion like the Champions League. There were players on that pitch like De Bruyne and Gündoğan who are in their 30s now and it could be their last chance to win European silverware. They took that chance! Rodri scoring the winner optimizes what Guardiola’s teams are all about. Win at all cost! Even though they didn’t play their best they still managed to find a way through Inter.
If we look at our Chelsea squad man for man we are nowhere near where we need to be to compete against the likes of City. Kante was one of the few elite players we had but he’s off to Saudi so we need to find a suitable replacement and get rid of our dead wood as well! Which brings me to my next point LUKAKU… absolutely useless! I swear I have never hated a footballer so much. I mean, what is there to like about him? He is disloyal, unreliable, poor in big games, and his wages are completely unjustifiable! 325k per week for what!? It was no surprise to see the Belgian striker failed to make the starting 11. Inter Milan boss Simone Inzaghi decided to put faith in Eden Dzeko instead. He chose to start a 37-year-old in the biggest game of the club’s history this decade. That tells you everything you need to know. If Lukaku can’t start at Inter then he has no place at Chelsea. When the 30-year-old striker was eventually brought on not only did he miss the biggest chance of the game, he blocked a shot from Di Marco which was heading towards goal. Although people have told me Inter looked better when Lukaku came on. There is no doubt in my mind that he is the reason they lost on Saturday!
It’s going to be a completely different experience next time we go up to the Etihad. No longer can we sing “You’ll never sing that, you’ll never sing that, Champions of Europe, you’ll never sing that!” I am gutted! When they beat us last season 4-0 the only thing we could do was laugh at the fact they didn’t have European silverware. Now we can brag that they only have 1 Champions League title compared to our 2. But how long before that changes? Man City are on a role under Pep, and I can’t see them slowing down anytime soon.
