Jose Mourinho is "crazy", but when he gets to work, he is clearly extremely serious and cautious, and the day after arriving in Moscow, Mourinho led the Milan squad to a closed training session, leaving the home media trying to get the latest information about Milan's preparations. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

At seven o'clock in the evening on October 1, 2023, Beijing time, the home stadium of the Russian Premier Football League club CSKA Moscow ~ CSKA Arena, the stands that can accommodate 30,000 fans, the fans have already been filled, and half an hour later, that is, half a year from the starting point, the first group stage of Group D of this season's Champions League, the match between Milan and CSKA Moscow started on time.

As early as 6:30 a.m., the players of the away team Milan and the home team CSKA Moscow had already arrived at the stadium to start the warm-up activities before the start of the official game, and both teams occupied half of the court and were actively warming up, and it seemed that the players on both sides were in a good mood, and the team-mates sometimes joked with each other.

A day ago, Mourinho announced the starting list for the game against CSKA, and as expected, Chen Long was substituted, and Mourinho sent the squad for the first round of the Serie A season at home against Atalanta, which is also the most luxurious and powerful starting lineup for Milan at present.

Milan starting line-up: Anthony Martial, Romelu Lukaku, Gross (forward), Rodriguez, Sanchez, Ventura (midfielder), Khedira, Carvajal, Raphael Varane, Gomez (defender), Steggen (goalkeeper)

In this regard, although Chen Long is a little unwilling, he can also understand the reason for this~ He does not have the ability and experience to start the Champions League now, in other words, although Mourinho has the heart, he is also powerless.

Twenty minutes before the start of the game, players from both sides left the pitch one after another and walked to the locker room, ready to play the official game immediately.

"Fans and friends, good evening, welcome to CCTV5 channel, I am the commentator Zhan Jun, next to me is the famous football commentator Mr. He Ping, this season's Champions League group stage Group D Milan away to CSKA Moscow The game is about to start."

As early as five years ago, after hard work, CCTV won the exclusive Chinese live broadcast rights of the UEFA Champions League in Chinese mainland for the next ten seasons. ESPN and Guangzhou competitions won the exclusive English live broadcast rights and exclusive Cantonese live broadcast rights in Chinese mainland, respectively.

From the 2017-2018 season to the 2027-2028 season, in addition to the original CCTV, Tencent and Sina, PPTV and LeTV have also joined the Champions League live broadcast family, and Chinese mainland will achieve live video broadcast of all Champions League matches for ten consecutive years.

In addition to the live broadcast of this game by the Chinese media, this game also attracted the attention and live broadcast of many other media.

Ten minutes before the start of the game, players from both sides lined up in two rows in the tunnel of players, and under the leadership of the referee, each player led a caddie into the court in an orderly manner, and then stood in a row.

The players from both sides stood in a row, and in the next three minutes, the Champions League theme song "Champions League" sounded in the CSKA arena -

UEFA stipulates that the UEFA Champions League theme song "Champions League" must be played live 3 minutes before the match on each match day. The song was written by the English composer Tony Briden based on Handel's "Zadokthepriest", an ode to the coronation of the King of England. Performed by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and sung by the St Martin's College Choir. The lyrics are simple, made up of repeated calls in UEFA's three official languages – French, German and English – "They're the champions" and "They're the best team".

On the bench in Milan, Chen Long also listened to the Champions League theme song very seriously, although this was his first appearance on the pitch of the Champions League game (even if it was a substitute), he also felt that all this was really dreamy!

After the singing ended, the players on both sides walked to the halfway line one after another, Rodriguez's luck was not too good today, and the tee off was actively guessed, but it was not a big deal, just a formality.

"Toot"

"Friends, the game has officially begun, CSKA has been given the right to kick off, the football has been transferred to the CSKA backfield near the halfway line, it is clear that the home team is very stable and is not in a hurry to attack immediately", the commentator of "Milan Sport" Peta and special guest Walter sounded the commentators.

On the pitch, as Peta said, as soon as the game began, CSKA shifted the football big foot to their backfield, and the players ran back and forth, obviously really adjusting their form, and did not rush to attack, although they were the home team!

On the Milan side, since the home team is not in a hurry, then they have no reason to be in a hurry.

Therefore, in the first ten minutes of the game, both sides basically did not have high-intensity active attacks, and both played very conservatively.

'Is this the Champions League? It's really different", Chen Long, who saw everything in his eyes, had to sigh, the Champions League can become the top stage of football clubs, and it really has its reasons.

On the field, it was not until the 13th minute that the first shot of the game between the two teams in the game officially arrived, and the first shot was kicked by the home team CSKA first, however, it was only the first shot on goal, which put Milan in a disadvantageous situation in an instant.

To be precise, CSKA's first shot on goal was a free-kick opportunity, however, to the surprise of many, the home side seized the free-kick opportunity and found the back of the net against Milan.

In the 12th minute, CSKA began a wave of attack, defender Waxing played a long pass from the backfield, and the football found striker Shepchen near the halfway line, Shepchen used his speed advantage to get rid of Gomez and dribble straight to the Milan penalty area, and Khedira outside the Milan penalty area had to catch up and take a tactical foul, and then, the referee's whistle blew and gave the home team a free kick opportunity.

The person in charge of taking the free-kick was still Schepchen, on the edge of the box. Across a human wall, Schepchen took a big volley, because the volley was so powerful that Milan goalkeeper Steggen judged the right direction, but he still got out of his hand, and the ball flew past his ten fingers and went directly into the net.

1：0！

Just thirteen minutes into the game, CSKA took the lead, which was a very bad start for Milan. (To be continued.) )
