Ricken's red card seemed to have become the last straw that crushed Dortmund. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

After Dario Srna opened the scoring for Atletico Madrid with a direct free-kick, the Sheets went from strength to strength, and combined with the numerical advantage on the field, they almost fell to Dortmund.

Summerer did not make any changes at the first time, but changed the team's style of play, hoping to stabilize the situation.

But it's a pity that Atletico Madrid didn't give him that opportunity.

After opening the scoring, the Sheets soon found the back of the net again.

This time it was a corner kick that Lehmann slotted the ball out and there was a scuffle in the box, the ball fell to the edge of the box, and the unguarded Xavi Alonso followed up with a direct volley to find the back of the net for Borussia Dortmund.

With a two-goal lead and one more person than the opposition, Atletico Madrid is already on the cards.

But the Sheets did not seem to be satisfied and continued to chase Dortmund.

The Hornets were completely disrupted and could only choose to hold on to half the court.

In the 44th minute of the first half, Atletico Madrid again organized an effective attack, and Jankulovski received a pass from Villa on the left and crossed the bottom.

Torres stepped in and scored with a header from 10 meters in front of the goal to rewrite the score to 3-0!

This goal completely made Dortmund desperate.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides again, and Summerr had to adjust his team's tactics, replacing Everton and strengthening the team's midfield defense.

In the frontcourt, the two forwards of Jan Kohler and Amoruso were left to roam, playing a four-three-two formation.

It's clear that Summerer still won't give up and wants an away goal.

Gao Han had a very thorough understanding of Summer's thoughts, and Atletico Madrid played more steadily, firmly controlling the possession advantage on the field and not giving Dortmund the slightest chance.

In the 76th minute, Kaka made a clever pass in the middle, Torres received the ball in front of the bottom line and crossed in front of the goal, Villa stepped in to follow up, and easily pushed the ball into the goal guarded by Lehmann.

Four to zero!

No one could have imagined that the first leg of the League Cup semi-finals would turn into a one-sided massacre!

At this point in the game, Summerer also completely lost hope and could only choose to strengthen the defense in despair.

The League Cup has already been lost, and he can only hope to lose less and keep the team's morale alive.

Only then will his team be able to continue to hold on to Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga.

The score was set at 4-0 and Atletico Madrid beat Borussia Dortmund at home.

This also greatly surprised all the fans of the Bed Legion, so the entire Calderón stadium turned into a sea of celebration at the moment of the whistle.

And Gao Han was also very fortunate that Kaka was only a skin injury and there was no major problem, so after a hasty bandage, he returned to the field, and re-examined after the game, and confirmed that there was no problem.

In addition, after Ricken calmed down, accompanied by head coach Summer, he personally came to the dressing room of Atletico Madrid, apologized to Kaka in person, and was forgiven by the Brazilian.

Therefore, at the post-match press conference, Gao Han expressed his understanding of Ricken's red card.

'It's normal to be hot-headed in the moment of change on the football pitch and he's already paid for it and apologized to Kaka personally, so I don't think there's any need to dwell on this foul. ”

At the same time, Gao Han also said that Ricken is a very powerful star and a very rare technical player in German football, and he believes that Ricken can quickly come out of the shadows and regain his form.

Borussia Dortmund coach Summerr also did not criticize Ricken's foul, but he apologized to Kaka in public on behalf of Ricken.

'We all know that Lars is a very nice guy, but when a professional player walks on the football pitch, it's easy to get emotionally out of control and he feels guilty, so I don't think we should blame that. ”

For the League Cup, the head coach of the Hornets bit the second leg and refused to let go.

'It's a desperate 0-4 scoreline, but I don't think we've lost it, we have the second leg and back at home, it's not like we can't beat Atletico Madrid. ”

"Of course, we won't think about that right now, we're just going to focus on playing well. ”

Summer's statement is also very much in line with his character, and he refuses to admit defeat.

Not only is Samer very tolerant of Ricken, but even the German media have expressed their understanding of Ricken and regret the Dortmund fiasco.

The kicker believes that Ricken's red card has changed the course of the game, but Summer's line-up is also debatable, especially when the backline should not have used man-to-man tactics against such individual stars as Villa, Torres and Kaka.

Bild also believes that Dortmund have done their best, but Atletico Madrid is better.

Germany's Der Spiegel quoted Dortmund general manager Zorko as defending Ricken.

"We can't put the blame for all the failures on Ricken. ”

"The defeat was painful, but we gave it our all and I'm sure all the Dortmund fans will still be proud of this season. ”

Zolko's remarks were quickly echoed by the fans.

A week later, Atletico Madrid visited the Stade Wess **, and the Hornets fans made terrifying noises and unparalleled noise throughout the game.

But in the end, after 90 minutes of fierce duel between the two sides, Atletico Madrid took away a victory 1-0 with Kaka's stunner, and then successfully advanced to the final with an aggregate score of 5-0.

In the other matchup, in the two Milan derby, AC Milan first narrowly defeated Cooper's Inter Milan 1-0 away with Cordoba's own goal, and then in the second leg, with goals from Inzaghi and Shevchenko, they took an early lead 2-0.

Although Inter Milan regrouped in the second half, with goals from Zanetti and Cuarón to help Inter equalise, in the end, Cooper's side were unable to reverse their rivals.

AC Milan finally eliminated Inter Milan with an aggregate score of 3-2 and entered the final.

The UEFA Cup final is scheduled for May 8 at Feyenoord's De Kuyp Stadium in Rotterdam, the Netherlands.

…………

…………

The conference room on the second floor of the small two-story building at the Milanello Sports Center was silent.

Just now, head coach Carol Ancelotti asked the members of the coaching staff who were present a question.

How to beat Atletico Madrid?

This is not only a common problem for all La Liga teams this season, but it is also the biggest obstacle facing AC Milan today.

As the most prestigious team in Serie A, AC Milan is full of championship trophies in the honor room.

There are 16 Serie A titles, five Champions League titles, two European Cup Winners' Cups, three UEFA Super Cups, and countless other domestic and continental cup titles.

But in the huge honor room, there is a lack of a League Cup!

In the more than 100-year history of AC Milan, AC Milan has won all the championships, but only one League Cup is missing.

The Rossoneri fans were disappointed by their poor results in recent seasons and were forced to play in the UEFA Cup, but the team's ability to knock out their local rivals and reach the final of the League Cup reignited their hopes again.

Perhaps, in this sluggish season, it is not a bad thing to make up for one of the major shortcomings in the club's 100-year history.

Club president Silvio Berlusconi and general manager Galliani both called Ancelotti respectively, hoping that the team can continue to work hard to win the League Cup and make up for the team's poor performance this season.

As for the league, AC Milan are currently in sixth place, and the results required by the club are the top four, Champions League qualification.

That's not a lot of work for AC Milan.

It's just that the opponent in the final of the League Cup is Atletico Madrid, which is tricky.

"Atletico Madrid is really strong this season, this team is not only excellent in possession, but also in high pressing, very threatening in positional battles, and sharp in quick counter-attacks. ”

Head assistant coach Mauro Tassotti said this, glanced at several members of the coaching staff in the conference room, and sighed helplessly, "This team is not easy to deal with. ”

"Mauro is right, but I think the scariest thing about this team is their fitness. ”

Giovanni Mauri, the team's chief fitness coach, also said, "I have a statistic that Atletico Madrid has run an average of more than 100 kilometers per game this season, and there are eight players who have run more than 10 kilometers per game. ”

Giovanni Mauri's words made many people in the room gasp.

If it is singled out, 10km is really not outrageous, and even David Beckham once ran an astonishing record of 16.1km in the World Cup qualifier against Greece last year.

But it's simply not possible to reach that number every game.

Even in the AC Milan team, in a season, the average running of 10 kilometers per game, I am afraid that Gattuso may not be able to do it, but in Atletico Madrid, there are as many as eight players with this kind of running ability.

The average distance traveled by the team is more than 100 kilometers per game, which is a staggering statistic!

Cruyff said that only smooth movement can lead to mastery of the ball, and this is best cited in Atletico Madrid. Mauro Tassotti said with a frown.

Distance doesn't mean you win, but it's a good illustration of how terrible this team is.

Stars can defend, tactics can be targeted, but no team can stop the opposition from running, and as soon as they run, gaps, passing opportunities, and even threats will follow.

Carlo Ancelotti used to be the best professional footballer, having coached Serie A for many years, so he naturally knows the key to this.

Looking at the assistants in front of him, the fat man who began to get rich after retiring took a deep breath.

"And what do you mean?"

Mauro Tasotti also looked at the crowd and found that he was not willing to take the initiative to uncover the mystery, and sighed in his heart.

"I think that when you play Atletico Madrid, you can only rely on defense!"

These words made the corners of Ancelotti's eyes twitch, but they did not surprise everyone present.

They all know it, they just can't say it.

The dignified AC Milan, facing a promoted horse in La Liga, can only rely on defense?

If this word spreads, Ancelotti, who has been criticized by fans for being conservative this season, may have to be drowned by fans' saliva.

But, this is a big truth!

Ancelotti himself understands it, but ...... (To be continued.) )
