The quarter-finals of the Champions League are no longer like the final, with two weeks in between, with the first and second legs of the quarter-finals next to each other, with only one national league in between. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

There is less time to rest and adjust than in the finals.

The physical demands on the players to play continuously are also higher.

At this point, rotation is necessary.

If Milan insists on not rotating, then by this time, the team will basically collapse.

From the very beginning of the season, Mourinho insisted on rotation, and even if the team's results were inconsistent in the early stages of the league, he did not change his plan, so that by the end of the season, the team would have room to sprint on both fronts.

Back in Milan, Mourinho adopted a rotation policy against League rivals Lazio at the weekend. Rest the vast majority of the players who played in the Champions League in midweek, but there are a few who can't, such as goalkeeper Steggen, centre-back Carvajal, Chen Long and Gross.

The reason why they can't rest is not because they are all particularly fit, but just because the team's victory is guaranteed.

Stegen and Carvajal have ensured the solidity of the team's backline, Chen Long is an important figure in the future, and Gross is the arrowhead of the team's attack, and the team relies on him to score.

Milan, who took a rotation, ended up beating Lazio 4-2 at their home stadium. Lazio led Milan 2-1 at one point and kept it until half-time.

In the second half, Milan fought back with all its might, won three times in a row, and finally won 4:2.

Maintained the lead over Juventus.

As for Juventus, they beat Cesena 1:O away from home, and although the win was not very convincing, they still won, and they got three points.

They are in a slightly better position than Milan, having beaten Atletico Madrid 2-O in the quarter-final leg of the Champions League, and even if the second leg is an away game, Juventus have a much better chance of progressing than Atletico Madrid.

…………

With the Lazio game in the air, all eyes were on the second leg of the Champions League quarter-final in midweek.

As their opponents, Bayern Munich played Hamburg in the Bundesliga at the weekend with an O:O, and Guo Haoran did not concede a goal. This game can clearly see the fatigue of Bayern Munich in dealing with the two-line battle, most of the players are not in shape, of course, it can also be said that the whole team of Bayern Munich is not in this league, but in the next Champions League. Facing Hamburg, which is obviously weaker than them, Bayern Munich was not able to win it, and it was only by Guo Haoran's excellent swing that they were able to retreat from the opponent's stadium.

After finishing the league, Bayern Munich flew directly to Milan after a day of rest at their training base, three days before the start of the game.

Over the course of three days, they will borrow Inter's training base to carry out special training sessions specifically for Milan.

Acclimatize to the weather, venues, and food in Milan in advance.

Guo Haoran can still talk to Feng Jun about the old relationship, and they have dinner together. Of course, Chen Long was not invited to this meal, mainly to avoid suspicion.

Everyone is now a public figure, and their every move will be the focus of media attention before such an important game, so getting together for a meal in private will definitely be photographed by the media. Although everyone is friends off the field, and hostility on the field does not hinder friendship off the field, it is better not to make extraneous things when it is so sensitive.

We're all friends, so I don't want to get into trouble for my friends.

…………

In the first leg of the quarter-finals, Milan were the first team to appear, and in the second leg, they were the last team to appear, giving them an extra day of rest than the team who started the first leg.

At 2:45 a.m. Beijing time on April 10, the second leg of the Champions League quarterfinals began, with Milan hosting Bayern Munich.

Domestically, the match between Milan and Bayern Munich is rightfully listed as a match that will be broadcast live on a free-to-air channel.

There are many excited Chinese fans who didn't sleep at all, and stayed up until half past two and turned on the TV.

Others set an alarm clock and get up to watch the game.

Before the start of the game, everyone discussed how the game would play out, and what kind of performance Chen Long and Guo Haoran would have in their respective teams......

Fans who support Chen Long and Guo Haoran are fighting each other online, and it is very lively.

It wasn't until the TV came out of the scene that the network was a little quieter.

…………

Chen Long and Guo Haoran met again in the player's tunnel, this time Guo Haoran did not sneak attack Chen Long, but walked directly in front of Chen Long and said to him: "This time, I still won't let you score!" ”

Long Chen smiled: "Hehe, Haoran, do you remember what I said before?" If you don't score one goal, then score two or three goals. ”

Guo Haoran also smiled: ", everyone has seen your performance in the last game, let alone two or three, if you can get into one, even if you can do it." ”

"Then bet, Haoran."

"Bet on it!

"If we score three of your goals, you have to fill 140 words of 'Wang' on Weibo!" Chen Long said with a smile.

"Damn, you're not naïve! Learn to bark online? Guo Haoran rolled his eyes.

"You just say you don't call it, do you?" Long Chen looked at Guo Haoran with a smile.

"Damn, what's not to dare? But if you don't score three goals...... No, if you don't score a goal, you're going to have to learn how to bark online! Guo Haoran said.

"I don't bully you, Haoran, as long as we don't score three goals, even if we score two goals, I'll call one hundred and forty more words." Long Chen waved his hand and said.

"Well, that's what you said! I didn't force you! Guo Haoran pointed at Chen Long and said. Don't be cowardly when the time comes! ”

Chen Long said with a smile: "A gentleman is hard to chase, and besides, I may not lose." ”

"Then we'll see!" Guo Haoran clenched his fists, his knuckles crackling. "This game is more interesting, hey!"

With that, he shook his head and walked away.

As soon as he left, Niang, who had been beside him, came over: "Hey, Chen, what are you talking to him about?" ”

Chen Long and Guo Haoran communicated in Chinese, which Niang did not understand at all.

Chen Long smiled and told Niang about the bet he and Guo Haoran had just made, and explained to him what "Weibo" was by the way.

Niang's mouth opened wide: "Score him three goals? This ......"

He thought of the scene when he was directly saved by Guo Haoran from his feet in the last game, could Chen Long be a little overconfident?

It is difficult to score one goal against Guo Haoran, let alone three goals...... And even if it wasn't Guo Haoran goalkeeper, it would not be easy to score three goals against any team. Now that it comes out of Long Chen's mouth, why does it feel so relaxed?

However, Niang didn't tell Chen Long his worries, but secretly cheered himself up in his heart - he must not let Chen Long learn to bark in front of so many people, what a shameful thing it must be! I can't afford to miss another chance in this game! Not to mention the three yuan in Duzhong, at least one goal has to be scored, and scoring one goal can be regarded as helping Chen Long fulfill one-third of his commitment......

………

On the other side, Guo Haoran had been greeting Long Chen for a little longer this time, so when he came back, everyone was curious about what he said to Long Chen. Usually everyone knows that Guo Haoran and Chen Long are friends.

"Nothing, he made a bet with me."

"Bet?" Everyone was excited when they heard about the bet, and they wanted to hear what kind of bet they made.

'Well, he said they could score three goals in this game and if he couldn't he would learn to bark online. Guo Haoran said briefly.

"Three balls?!" Turan was surprised, thinking he had misheard.

"God, he's crazy, isn't he?" Thiago's eyes widened as well.

Although the team's captain and central defender Barton did not say anything, it could be seen from his expression that Chen Long's "wild words" made him not very happy.

Bayern Munich's backline is excellent in the whole of European football, which is not only due to goalkeeper Guo Haoran, but also all defensive players, including Barton.

Chen Long actually said that he wanted to score three of them?

Isn't this a naked contempt?

Another central defender, Fischer, patted Guo Haoran on the shoulder: "Don't worry, Guo, we will definitely help you win this gamble!" ”

Clearly, it wasn't just Barton who was enraged. All Bayern Munich defenders have a sense of common hatred.

Of course, there are also Bayern Munich players who are surprised. For example, defender Secker, he was puzzled: "Is it any good for Chen Long to say this?" Will angering opponents before the game benefit Milan? ”

He couldn't figure it out, and his teammates probably couldn't, but he didn't need to figure it out at all.

"Whatever his purpose, I'm happy to deflate the arrogant Milan!" Young Bayern Munich midfielder Walker said that his words were echoed by most Bayern Munich players, and everyone was thinking that no matter what Chen Long was for making this bet with their goalkeeper Guo Haoran, since he dared to say that he wanted to score three goals for Bayern Munich, then he had to be prepared to bear the wrath of Bayern Munich.

The pre-match hiccup is over.

When the players from both sides took to the pitch, the eyes of the Bayern Munich players could almost burst into flames.

But not everyone is acutely aware of this, and in their opinion, it's no different from any Champions League game.

It was only when Chen Long shook hands with every Bayern Munich player that he could feel the hostility of these Bayern Munich players.

Of course he knew why, but it didn't have any effect on his heart.

Just kidding, now he is a person who has seen strong winds and waves, can the hostility of his opponent make his feet weak?

Hehe.

………

After all the pre-match cutscenes have been completed, the players of both sides are in their respective positions, and the battle of the spotlight is about to begin.

Bayern Munich got the kick-off for the game, with Thiago and Muller standing in the centre circle, waiting for kick-off.

When the referee, Thomson, blew the whistle for the start of the game, they kicked the ball out and passed it back, and the game began.

Bayern Munich, who had the advantage of kick-off, vented their anger at being provoked by Chen Long to the Milan penalty area from the first second of the game.

In the second minute, Thiago had a high-quality shot that forced Stegen to make a thrilling save to keep the ball off the line, and Bayern Munich won a corner just two minutes into the game.

In this corner, Bayern Munich's captain Barton jumped high and headed the ball towards the goal before Carvajal, but the header was slightly higher...... But it also shocked the Milan fans in the stands to let out an exclamation.

"Oooh! Bayern Munich's players are scrappy and enter the game early! The Bayern Munich commentator excitedly said that he was happy to see it, but he didn't understand why it was happening.

I'm afraid that no one except the Bayern Munich players and Chen Long will know why Bayern Munich is so aggressive after the start of the game......

Oh no, Niang understands.

Niang frowned as Bayern Munich saw two dangerous shots on goal less than three minutes into the game.

The bet between Chen Long and Guo Haoran seems to have provoked a backlash from Bayern Munich......

Subsequently, although Milan won the ball, the Bayern Munich players on the pitch were like mad dogs, surrounding Milan in the midfield and causing great problems for Milan.

This pleased Carlo Ancelotti, who was directing the game from the sidelines, but he repeatedly told his players in the pre-match set-up to launch a fierce attack on the Milan goal at the beginning of the game.

Because the kick-off and the end of the game are the time when the team is least focused, if you can get into the groove earlier than the opponent, it is possible to score.

He didn't plan to keep 0:0 away from home, and finally drag the game into a penalty shootout, relying on Guo Haoran to eliminate the opponent alone. To be a shrunken turtle for one hundred and twenty minutes before that was not quite in line with his personal aesthetic.

So on the road, of course, you have to attack, you have to get away goals, you have to score first, and then you have to defend solidly.

Now Bayern Munich's performance is very much in line with Carlo Ancelotti's expectations, and their team is really getting into the groove very quickly.

Of course, he felt that it was his own credit.

Ancelotti certainly didn't know that the little episode that took place in the tunnel before the game started might be the reason why the Bayern Munich players got into the game so quickly......

…………

Bayern Munich's fierce attack finally resulted in the goal they had coveted in the 11th minute.

Muller's shot resulted in a break from Stegen's hands, and Thiago's clever follow-up shot in the box sent the ball into the back of the net.

"Tiago!! Thiago!! The Munich TV announcer shouted excitedly. He opened the scoring for Bayern Munich! It was a very important goal! Bayern Munich got the away goal!! ”

After the goal, Thiago ran to the corner flag area, where his team-mates followed him and hugged him, celebrating the goal under the south stand at the San Siro, oblivious to the loud boos that sounded above their heads.

"They conceded the first goal on their home turf...... Milan is in trouble......" Peta said regretfully.

"The Milan defenders leaked when they were defending in the box, and Thiago didn't even look at them?" Li Yang asked. "But before that, Bayern Munich's attack was already fierce, and their series of attacks made the Milan backline a little busy, and Thiago got a chance... Milan probably didn't expect Bayern Munich to get into the groove so quickly in this game...... I was in the groove almost right after kick-off, and there was no warm-up at all......

……………

While the Bayern Munich players were celebrating their goals, Chen Long was pulling a few people for a small meeting.

He was looking for Niang, Rodriguez and Gross, who made up Milan's attacking line-up for the game.

'It doesn't matter, we have chances, when they press and attack, there are a lot of gaps behind them. That's the opportunity we can take advantage of and fight them back. ”

Chen Long said to the three teammates.

"But Chen Long, they already have a goal, there is no need to continue to attack, if they shrink the defense, how can we still have a chance to counterattack?" Niang expressed confusion.

Long Chen smiled slightly: "I don't think they will recycle it so quickly." Think about it, how good their momentum is now. If I were them, I wouldn't have chosen to shrink my defense after scoring a goal, of course, I would have to continue to attack and try to get closer in a short period of time! ”

As soon as Long Chen said this, several others also felt that it made sense.

That's the case, when the team is in the right momentum, why shrink the defense? Keep attacking, of course! At this time, if you let the team shrink back and play defensive counterattacks, it is estimated that few players will be able to listen.

So Long Chen's analysis makes sense.

'As long as they keep attacking, it's our chances, but we don't have too many chances. If it is wasted, it will arouse their alarm, and they will take it back immediately, and then they will not be able to fight back if they really want to. Chen Long continued to analyze.

Niang knew what Long Chen meant, so without waiting for Long Chen to continue, he said, "Don't worry, Long Chen. It's not going to be a wasted opportunity. ”

Rodriguez and Gross also nodded in promise.

So when Bayern Munich was still celebrating the goal, and the other Milan players were still regretting the goal, Chen Long had already pulled a few people to briefly explain how to play after losing the goal.

…………

When the game restarted, sure enough, as Chen Long said, after Milan completed an attack, Bayern Munich continued to bombard Milan's goal, which was completely no different from before. The attack was even more intense - which is understandable, the whole Bayern Munich team that had just scored was in a very high period, with high morale and confidence on everyone.

If Milan can't withstand their attack, conceding another goal in a short period of time is really not a Bayern Munich pipe dream.

Stegen had just saved a very dangerous shot from Robert Lewandowski, but the ball did not fly directly off the line and was blocked back into the box, and Thiago wanted to repeat his old trick, this time his follow-up shot was blocked by Desiglio and flew off the line.

Although the goal was not scored, it made the Milan fans in the stands and in front of the TV beat their hearts wildly and were scared enough.

Because Bayern Munich's attack is too fierce, the idea of wanting Niang or Gross to stay in front and play counterattacks is very real-Milan is under a lot of pressure in defense, and how can it be done if two people are left in front and not come back?

Not to mention Niang, even Gross has to retreat to the center circle to participate in the defense.

Even if Chen Long had the ball at his feet, he couldn't go straight with a big foot.

Milan is right to fight back, but not this simple and crude counterattack.

But if you have to wait all the time, it will be too negative, what if you let the opponent score before you get the chance?

Although the game only started for more than ten minutes, there was not much time left for Chen Long and Milan.

So instead of passively waiting for opportunities, it is better to be proactive in creating opportunities.
