“…… 2-0!Shevchenko's goal helped AC Milan take a two-goal lead in the game, and Tottenham are really in danger now!" Looking at the AC Milan players who were frantically celebrating the goal on the field, Andy Gray's tone showed a little helplessness and despair, "Ronaldo was too uncalm tonight. In the face of the joint encirclement of Maldini and Gattuso, even a top right midfielder like Figo was not sure that he would succeed in breaking through, and he dared to rush over alone to fight alone, I really don't know whether to say that he was bold or ignorant and fearless. ”

"I don't think it's all about Cristiano Ronaldo. Martin Taylor is obviously more thorough on this issue than Andy Gray, who has a bit of a hatred for Ronaldo, "To be honest, most of Tottenham's players on the pitch today are too young and too inexperienced. Of the starting eleven, only Cech, Robben, Cristiano Ronaldo and Davies played in last year's European Championship in Portugal, and only Davies and Alonso had experience in the knockout stages of the Champions Cup. Such a situation has caused Tottenham players to be a little helpless on key occasions such as the Champions League final, and they have not played at their normal level at all. For example, the goal just conceded seemed to be due to Ronaldo's disconnection in the front court and AC Milan's quick counterattack, but Mascherano and Ledley King also had a problematic response - the former did not take a tactical foul in time, allowing Kaka to get a direct chance to attack the Tottenham backline, and the latter was attracted by Kaka and Vidic and did not notice Shevchenko's movements, which eventually led to the success of the Ukrainian nuclear warhead against offside. ”

"That's right, this conceded goal is indeed not all Ronaldo's pot. Andy Gray nodded, agreeing with his partner's opinion, "And, I don't know if Martin has noticed, I think Alonso's performance today was also very problematic." Although judging from the game statistics, his pass success rate has not decreased significantly compared to usual, but in the two items of forward passing and threatening ball, the Spaniard's pass success rate has dropped significantly!

"It can only be said that these players of AC Milan are very accurate in judging the way of the ball, and Alonso's passing intentions are too obvious to hide from their eyes. Martin Taylor took a look at the stats and saw that things were exactly as Andy Gray said, "So it seems that Coach Ancelotti must have made specific arrangements in advance about how to limit Alonso." Otherwise, AC Milan would never have limited Alonso to such an extent!"

"Hopefully, Coach Nelson will come up with a solution as soon as possible to get Tottenham out of the current predicament. Andy Grey can only pray now that George Nelson, who has the title of "Premier League's No. 1 Coach", can lead Tottenham to another miracle, instead of allowing Barcelona to repeat the miserable scene in the 93-94 Champions League final!

Andy Gray and Martin Taylor saw the same problems that George could see. He knew that in order to curb AC Milan's momentum, he would have to strangle two of the Rossoneri's most threatening points - Andrea Pirlo as the heart of the organization and Kaka as the attacker up front!

Andrea Pirlo's excellent big-picture vision and organisational skills allow AC Milan to target the weaknesses of the Tottenham defence with every counter-attack, while the presence of Kaka brings the necessary vitality and momentum to AC Milan, whose first team is showing signs of aging, and organically connects the midfield. It can be said that it is the existence of these two people, coupled with an old and strong backline, that AC Milan was able to beat Tottenham Hotspur into such a miserable picture in this Champions League final!

However, while the midfield combination of Andrea Pirlo and Kaka has bolstered AC Milan's backbone, that doesn't mean Tottenham don't have a chance of turning the tables around. Otherwise, Liverpool in the previous life would not have staged the Istanbul miracle that fans talked about on this field.

AC Milan's biggest weakness is undoubtedly the generally high age of first-team players and the serious decline in physical fitness and recovery due to too many veterans. In addition, Carlo Ancelotti is not good at rotating for a long time to overdraft the physical strength of the main players, so as long as Tottenham can consume AC Milan's energy as much as possible, then over time, Tottenham, which is stronger than Liverpool in the previous life, will not be without the power to fight!

However, before George could make tactical adjustments, the Rossoneri's attack came again - just ten minutes after Shevchenko's goal, Alonso's through ball from midfield was broken, and AC Milan once again took the opportunity to launch a quick counter-attack!

Kaka, who retreated to the back to get the ball, used a beautiful turn to get rid of his own marker Mascherano, and then ran all the way to the center circle of the pitch and sent a scalpel-like through ball with his right foot!

Although Vidic, who was chasing back, tried to make a sliding tackle and tried to disrupt Kaka's pass, the attempt of the Serbian and Montenegro central defender ended in failure, and Shevchenko, who received the pass, took the ball into the penalty area and stabbed it alone!

Faced with Petr Cech, who was forced to abandon the goal, Shevchenko feigned a shot, but in fact slotted the ball with his right foot towards the back post. The ball slipped in front of Ledley King, and Crespo, who had flanked him, pushed the empty goal from five meters in front of the goal, 3-0!

"No play......" If when Tottenham were two goals behind on the field before, Andy Gray and Martin Taylor still had a little expectation for Tottenham's next successful comeback, then now they have completely given up this hope after being beaten 3-0 by AC Milan in the first half - in Andy Gray's eyes, it is almost impossible for Tottenham to equalize the score in the next 45 minutes!

With the form shown by the AC Milan players in the first half and the sharpness of the quick counterattack, if Tottenham Hotspur dares to attack aggressively in the second half, then the Rossoneri will continue to teach themselves with counterattacks!

So, no matter how you look at it, the 2004-05 UEFA Champions League is already destined to be in the bag of AC Milan!

"Although the game will not end until 45 minutes away, the current situation should show that the outcome of this Champions Cup final should be a foregone conclusion. Seeing this situation, Andy Gray was really not optimistic, so he had to congratulate AC Milan in advance against his will in the live broadcast room, and at the same time did not forget to comfort Tottenham Hotspur, who was already doomed in his opinion, "Let's congratulate AC Milan in advance on winning the seventh Champions Cup in the club's history." However, Tottenham's lads need not be discouraged. You've been impressive enough in the Champions League this season and you lost to AC Milan in the final, not because you didn't have the skills, but because of experience and experience. Keep going, learn from the lessons in the future competitions and strengthen yourself, and sooner or later you will have a very bright future!"
