On the evening of May 1, 2007, at the Calderon stadium in Madrid, Spain.
In the first leg of the 0-0 draw with Chelsea away from home, heinks once again put forward a strong attack formation, at the same time, he also made targeted arrangements for the weakness of Chelsea''s right defensive, and also played a due role in the game.
Villa, David Silva and Jankulovski''s left side has become the most powerful side of Atletico Madrid''s attack, frequently creating murders, threatening the right side of Chelsea''s defense.
However, it is clear that he has also made preparations for this side, arranging John Terry and Makelele to help Paulo Ferreira guard the right side and ask Andrade to block Torres.
Just like the first leg, Atletico Madrid had the advantage and made many murders on the left side, but it failed to turn the attack opportunity into goals. Especially when the second half of the game came, the players of the bedspread team began to have the disadvantages of inexperienced young players, some of them were too rash and impatient.
Heinks also realized the problem, frequently appealed to the players on the court to keep calm, and through the substitution to cool the players'' mind, but in the end, it failed to stop the enthusiasm of the players on the court.
In the 83rd minute of the match, Atletico Madrid couldn''t attack for a long time, showing a flaw. Chelsea seized the opportunity to fight back. After receiving Ballack''s pass, Lampard crossed to the right.
Anelka, who came on as a substitute, got the ball on the right side of the penalty area, crossed jankulovsky, who was in a hurry to return to the defence. After entering the penalty area, Anelka grabbed before Carvalho and suddenly started to hit the goal.
Anelka''s powerful shot was saved by goalkeeper Cech, but Drogba blocked Ramos with his body and shot into the net from close range 12 meters in front of the goal.
The whole Calderon stadium is in a dead silence!
No one thought that at the end of the game, Chelsea would suddenly seize such an opportunity to fight back and score a key goal, which was completely beyond everyone''s expectation.
Zero to one, Atletico Madrid has been driven to the end.
Heinks made a quick decision and made the last substitution adjustment to strengthen the attack decisively.
Atletico Madrid players on the pitch are also frantically attacking the defence of Chelsea, but they have never been able to break the defence of the blues.
In the end, the game ended zero to one.
Chelsea knocked out Atletico Madrid 1-0 to advance to the final.

Italy, Milan, pinetina training base.
According to the schedule of the Champions League, inter are one day ahead of Chelsea in the first leg, but one day later in the second.
Although tomorrow will be against Liverpool, but alpine and the coaching staff still stay in the training base to watch the focus of the game.
When they saw, until the end of the game, Atletico Madrid failed to break the goal of Chelsea, and saw Torres, villa, David Silva, Ramos and other players crawling on the grass and crying, they were all filled with regret.
They are all from Atletico Madrid. They have deep feelings for the bedspread team. Before, they were still hesitating about whether they would be able to win if they met Atletico Madrid in the final. They didn''t expect that Chelsea took the initiative to go for Inter Milan, but it made them feel very sad.
"You guessed right." Guardiola turned his head to look at the cold, eyes are admire, but not happy.
"Anelka is really his surprise. He didn''t play in the first leg, but after coming on the bench in this leg, his performance is too eye-catching. Almost every time he takes the ball, he can cause a counterattack. I''m afraid that Jose has planned all this for a long time."
Although I guessed right, I was not happy at all.
Atletico Madrid is really stronger, but it''s hard for him to be eliminated, and from the current situation, Chelsea is even more difficult than Atletico Madrid.
As for why he didn''t use Anelka at home, Gao Han didn''t know. Maybe it was because he thought that if he was substituted in the first leg, he might not have a chance to attack Atletico Madrid, so he might as well stay away.
But there is no doubt that the layout and on-the-spot command of the two rounds of the match are classic.
I believe that even as an opponent, heinks will have to be convinced.
"From the performance of this game, the right side is still the weakness of Chelsea''s defense Cantarero pointed out the problem.
Paulo Ferreira was brought into Chelsea by Gao Han himself. He knows the Portuguese player very well. He is regular, hardworking and has high tactical execution. However, he is mediocre all the time. Therefore, Jose is not particularly satisfied with him. That''s why he wants to bring in Ivanovic and Micah Richards.
However, in the Champions League, obviously, he did not dare to promote any new players, so he still used Paulo Ferreira.
"Atletico Madrid''s attack direction in this game was right, but it failed to turn the opportunity into a goal. After a long attack, it gave Chelsea the chance to sneak attack. Therefore, I think we should study it carefully next."
As the chief assistant coach around alpine, cantarello is very reasonable.
"Our attack on the left is not a big problem, I believe Cristiano Ronaldo will not let us down, plus Evra, I believe our attack on the left will not lose to Atletico Madrid
For his team''s ability, Gao has a strong confidence.
On the left attack, inter will not lose to any team.
"As for the middle, we have Ibrahimovic and Adriano, as well as Yaya Toure''s second echelon attack, no matter from which point of view, we are more aggressive and sharper than Atletico Madrid."
The most shocking thing about Inter in European football is the team''s outstanding attacking power.
Cristiano Ronaldo, Ibrahimovic and Adriano made up of Trident, the offensive ability is superior to others, looking at the whole European football, no team can compare with Inter Milan.
So far, no team''s defense can stop Inter''s attack.
"It''s just..." Gao Han closed his eyes and sighed, "I''m a little worried. What kind of targeted defensive tactics will Jose use to freeze us?"
As the saying goes, if you know yourself and the enemy, you can win a hundred battles.
Guess the opponent''s targeted tactics, which is also one of the homework prepared by the coach before the game.
The different characteristics of the players lead to the different Offensive Characteristics of Atletico Madrid and Inter Milan. The two teams are good at attacking in different areas, so the targeted tactics of Mourinho will certainly be different.
Exactly how he will arrange, alpine and assistants are also unknown.
It can only be said that soldiers come to block, water comes to cover.
With the current strength of Inter Milan, we don''t need to guess the opponent, but we should think about how to play our own level. As long as we can play normally, no team can stop Inter.

On the evening of May 2, 2007, at the meacha stadium in Milan.
When the whistle sounded at the end of the game, the whole meacha stadium was boiling.
More than 60000 fans stood up from their seats and sang praises for the excellent performance of the players in the stadium.
Inter beat Liverpool 2-0.
Interestingly, as in the first leg, it was Ibrahimovic and Adriano who scored.
Although Liverpool''s right back alveloa was absent in this game, Finnan still didn''t give Cristiano Ronaldo too many performance opportunities in the first round. The Portuguese was frozen on the left again and was replaced early by the cold.
But it doesn''t hurt the excitement of Inter fans.
With 2-0 and a total score of 4-1, inter made it to the final.
This is also the fifth time that the Nerazzurri have reached the final in the history of the Champions League. The first four seasons were 63-64 and 64-65. Inter defeated Real Madrid and Benfica 3-1 and 1-0 respectively, winning the Champions League for two consecutive seasons.
Among them, the second time or in Milan''s meacha stadium, home cup.
After that, inter entered the Champions League finals twice in the 66-67 season and the 71-72 season respectively, but lost to Celtic 1-2 and Ajax 0-2 respectively, and failed to win the championship twice.
After more than 30 years of absence, inter reached the final of the Champions League once again, and this time it was promoted as the number one favorite, which undoubtedly made the fans of the meacha stadium full of expectations for the team to win the cup.
Even in the stands, some fans can''t wait to shout the slogan of taking back the third St. Brad cup.
Standing in front of the coach of the home team at the meacha stadium, Gao Han heard the voice of the fans calling for him, which made him feel very proud and made him swear in his heart that he would lead the team back to the championship trophy from Greece in any case.
But it''s not easy.
In the past few years, with strong financial support, Premier League teams have continuously introduced high-level players, which has greatly improved their overall level. Among them, Jose''s Chelsea is the best.
Especially in the winter break period, it spent more than 70 million euros, smashed into Anelka and Andrade and other powerful stars.
Although Quaresma''s performance is not satisfactory, Anelka''s and Andrade''s performances are still worthy of recognition. These two players are also of great help to Chelsea in Europe.
Among them, Anelka in the semi-final key game, with a sudden shot caused the Madrid goalkeeper Cech''s off hand, which let Drogba pick up the leak to make up a successful shot.
Gao did not expect that his first match with Jose would be in the Champions League final.
At the beginning, he said in front of the media that he would wait for Jose in the Champions League final. It was just a joke, but it turned out to be a reality.
It''s funny to think of this. It''s fate.
However, alpine is not heinx, inter will not be Atletico Madrid, he will not give any chance to Jose.
"How''s it going? Is there anything I want to convey for you? " Benitez didn''t know when he came to the cold side, looking in a good mood, not affected by the loss.
Perhaps it should be said that this defeat was in his expectation.
Liverpool will face Chelsea at Anfield this weekend, so Benitez is happy to be a communicator.
Gao Han knew that the fat Spanish wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, but he didn''t mind satisfying his interest.
"Then tell Jose to wash his neck and wait to be slaughtered for me."
