After winning the opening game of the league, Milan as the defending champion, once again showed a very strong strength, coupled with the devil's home cheering, for a while, people are no longer only concerned about the victory of Milan in the current game, people are more concerned about the future game, or rather, fans are more concerned about the performance of Milan in the Champions League this season, "comeback" can definitely describe the current situation of Milan, especially in the Champions League, then, This means that Milan's performance in the Champions League must be interesting and something that all Milan fans are looking forward to. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Milan won two wins and one draw in the next three rounds of the league, and in the fifth round of the league, Chen Long was not put into the league squad at all, because in such a short period of time, Chen Long was seriously injured and just recovered, although he was in good shape, he was not suitable for too high-intensity operations, and if he still had to play high-intensity games, it was too reluctant. Not to mention that this round of the league will be followed by the Champions League group stage. What is a league compared to the group stage of the Group of Death?

However, Milan, without Chen Long, still easily defeated Napoli 3-0 at home.

………

In the fifth round of Serie A, Chen Long didn't play a minute of the game and got a full rest.

He will now be ready to prepare for the Champions League group stage.

Milan's opponents in the first round of the Champions League group stage were Ajax, the weakest in the group - the weakest in comparison.

And Milan are playing at home, so they have to beat Ajax.

How many balls you win is only about face, and it doesn't mean much. Because in the case of the same number of points in the Champions League group stage, the relationship between the two teams with the same points is first compared, and then the goal difference when they meet each other, if it is still the same, it is the side with the most away goals in the match. If everything is still the same at this step, the total goal difference in the group stage and the total number of goals scored in the group stage are compared.

The probability of Milan and Ajax being tied is a bit low. At least Milan are very confident.

But Ajax manager Frank de Boer has a different view. Before coming to Italy, he gave an interview to the local media in the Netherlands and expressed full confidence.

"The group of death means that every team in this group is very close in strength, and whoever wins and loses is possible and normal. So why can't we beat Milan away from home? If Milan underestimates us because of this, then we don't mind making them suffer. I would like to remind Mourinho that he had better get his team up for 120,000 points! ”

How did Jose Mourinho respond?

"We don't take any opponent lightly, but we also don't take it lightly. It's Milan's home stadium and we deserved a win. ”

There are still three days left in the game, and the war of words between the two sides has started in advance.

At the same time, on the side of Real Madrid and Manchester City, there is also tension and the smell of gunpowder is very strong.

This has to make the media sigh - it really deserves to be a real group of death!

I haven't played a single game, and the atmosphere is a little hot, if you play two rounds, what should everyone tear into...... It's just exciting!

…………

On paper, Milan's opponents in this game are not as good as last season's Ajax, who won the league title

In the transfer market, captain Mantels moved to Tottenham Hotspur, veteran Oye retired and experience at the back has declined. At the same time, the departure of the versatile midfield Lodeirou, the striker who played the firefighter last season, and even the savior of Aisati, who won the championship at the key stop, has also reduced the thickness of the team's squad a lot. Other loan players such as Sneijder Jr., Castillion, Svetanic and others have completely transferred, and the depth of the bench has not been strengthened.

In terms of recruitment, Ajax seems to lack enough sincerity to attract excellent players in the Netherlands, and last season's Eredivisie assist king, the new international Naxin, who was once very close to the club, was finally snatched away by PSV Eindhoven, and the rival only spent more than 4 million euros, which is a very failed case for Ajax, which once spent 16 million euros to buy Soleimani.

In terms of strength, Ajax is indeed the weakest team in this group, and it is not the weakest, among the 32 teams in the entire Champions League, Ajax's strength can only be ranked in the middle of the middle, and they may not be able to qualify for other groups.

That's right, they were last season's Eredivisie champions. However, the gold content of this Eredivisie championship is not very high.

They defended their league title last season but did not reach more than 80 points in total, and after the team collapsed in the middle of the league, they were able to win the league title because they were able to pull off their main rivals prematurely, in addition to a fourteen-game winning streak with almost 10 points behind in the league points. Today's Eredivisie is much less attractive and less competitive, which is the status quo of many second-tier leagues in Europe.

However, the lack of convincing performance in the domestic league does not mean that they have not performed well in the Champions League.

Last season's Ajax would have progressed to the round of 16 had it not been for Zagreb's release of Lyon in the group stage. After going to the Europa League, there were also highlights of the away win over Manchester United.

Therefore, if Ajax is weak on paper and its performance in the league is not convincing, I am afraid it will be unlucky to underestimate this team.

After all, Ajax has won the Champions League four times in history, and they have Champions League genes in their bones. It's tradition, and tradition often plays a vital role at some critical moments.

…………

At 7.45pm on October 8, Milan's Champions League group stage at home to Ajax began, while Real Madrid's home match against Manchester City kicked off at the same time.

People are actually paying more attention to Real Madrid's home game against Manchester City, after all, it is the strongest conversation in this group. Manchester City won the Premier League title last season and won the Premier League title with the help of petrodollars, and now they want to become Champions League upstarts. Real Madrid, on the other hand, is the representative of the traditional forces of the Champions League, and its record of winning the Champions League 12 times is the highest in Europe.

The clash of these two teams is clearly more interesting.

Domestically, however, Milan's home game against Ajax was broadcast live on the free CCTV5 sports channel, while the match between Real Madrid and Manchester City was broadcast on the pay-per-view Fengyun Football channel.

Obviously, CCTV knows which game is the most attractive in China, Real Madrid and Manchester City's Champions League matchup between the old and new strengths, although it is full of gimmicks, but there is no Chen Long in this gimmicky matchup

Chen Long, who didn't even enter the squad for the last round of the league, appeared in the starting list this time.

After the start of the game, Ajax's tenacity was a bit of a surprise.

Frank de Boer's side did not opt to play against Milan, opting for a more pragmatic approach on the road.

They didn't bother to defend Chen Long, the core of Milan, but withdrew all their players to the 30-meter area and put the bus, no matter how Milan passed the ball outside, their defense was like a wall, standing still.

This is really what Milan didn't expect before the game, whether it is the head coach Mourinho or the players, they all think that Ajax will not be so thorough in defending and counterattacking, right?

Generally speaking, this desperate stubborn tactic is either a numerical disadvantage in the game, or the difference in strength is really large. But this game has just begun, Ajax has not been sent off, and with the strength of Ajax, it will not be weak to that extent, after all, it is also the champion of a national league, and it is a traditional giant in Europe.

So who would have thought that Frank de Boer would do it so thoroughly?

Mourinho did make some preparations after De Boer's bold words before, but he never imagined that Frank De Boer's so-called "bitterness" turned out to be to make Milan face a wall to play the game......

Chen Long was outside the 30-meter area of Ajax, constantly passing the football while observing the changes in the Ajax defence.

No matter how he passes, Ajax's defence is very intact and there are no dead ends.

Chen Long occasionally chooses to take a risky straight stop, but it doesn't work well, Ajax's penalty area is full of people, whether it is Gross, Rodriguez, Sanchez, it is difficult to get any good shots in the case of people.

And Ajax put too much thought into defense, so they have no achievements in attack, and they can't even threaten Milan.

So until the end of the first half, the score was 0:0.

Not to mention the lack of goals, the field is really not exciting enough, which makes it very difficult for those Chinese fans who stay up late to watch the game.

Li Yang and Zhan Jun also mentioned this when discussing the first half in the studio at halftime: "Every game in the Group of Death is very crucial and important, and you can't drop points easily, so it's right to focus so much on the result from the start of the group stage. Looking at Ajax's stance, they must be hoping to draw against Milan on the road. This is a very pragmatic result. So the scene doesn't look intense enough, and it's not much to watch. But that's the norm in the group of death, and you can't simply think that a strong conversation means a good game, but in fact it can be the complete opposite......"

Zhan Jun also agreed: "Yes, for example, the final of any major competition is a strong matchup, but it is often not beautiful. Since ancient times, there has been no name in the finals. ”

"That's right. In the other match in this group, Real Madrid also played 0-0 at home to Manchester City. The Group of Death didn't score in two games and looked evenly matched, which I think says a lot about how dead this group is......"

The TV broadcast entered the advertising time, Li Yang and Zhan Jun turned off the microphone, and Li Yang got up: "Go to the toilet." ”

With that, he yawned.

Zhan Jun also got up: "I'll go too." ”

In fact, the commentator is very hard, staying up late to explain the game is very harmful to the body, even if the commentator can sleep during the day and get up to work at night, this kind of life of day and night will still be very harmful to the body.

In fact, the World Cup and the European Cup are all right. Because of such a game, the broadcast agency on the Chinese side must directly let the commentator go to the front to explain the game on the spot, without staying up late.

In the toilet, two people stood in front of the urinal, side by side, and chatted about the first half that had just ended, which was different from what they said in front of the camera lens, and the private communication was a bit personal and complaining.

"I feel like this game is going to be 0:0, Ajax is guarding too thoroughly, I really don't want to attack at all!" Li Yang said. "I don't know how many people will watch the ...... fall asleep"

"There's no way, there's still a gap in strength. It's also 0:0 next door, and this group of death is a very difficult game. ”

…………

The time of the break passed quickly, and the players on both sides changed sides again, and neither made any personnel changes.

The game was not much different from the first half, with Milan only stepping up their long-range shots.

It's clear that the players have more shots from distance.

Long-range shots are indeed a way to deal with dense defences.

But it's not necessarily the most effective approach.

By the 70th minute, the score had not changed at all. Milan's number of shots has increased to thirteen, while Ajax's are just a pitiful four. The number of shots on target was also completely different for both sides. Eight of Milan's thirteen shots were on target, while Ajax had just one.

The gap is very stark.

However, Milan, who had eight shots in the woodwork, failed to score, which means that Ajax's goalkeeper Vermeer performed very well in this game.

In the 73rd minute, Jose Mourinho made his first half-time substitution, bringing on Ventura for Rugani.

Ten minutes passed quickly, with Milan's number of shots rising to 19 and Ajax's one more. But the score was still 0-0, and Milan's indiscriminate bombardment around the Ajax goal could not change the score.

Eighty minutes into the game, it was not far from the end of the game, and the mentality of the players also changed a bit.

Milan are getting a little impatient, while Ajax see hope of a draw away from Milan.

Frank de Boer made his substitution just 80 minutes into the game, replacing striker Babbel with a young defender, Joel Feltman. This was to further strengthen the defense and repair the wall that had withstood Milan's artillery fire for 80 minutes, so as to prevent it from collapsing at the last moment. I have to say that Frank de Boer was very well prepared and was going to stay the course in this game.

Peta didn't expect Milan to fail to win Ajax on his home turf, and he had to sigh that this was the group of death. In the true Group of Death, no team can be taken lightly.

"Ajax are the weakest team in this group, but looking at their performance in this game, who would dare to think that they are the ones to be scored?

…………

In the 83rd minute, Chen Long suddenly threw a cold arrow outside the penalty area, and his kick was not strong, but the angle was very tricky, allowing Ajax's goalkeeper Vermeer to get rid of it when he saved, which caused a wave of chaos in front of the Ajax goal.

Eventually, Feltman, who had just been on the pitch for a short time, kicked the football out and defused the crisis. The young man is not stage frightened, so it's no wonder that so many of Ajax's biggest names are optimistic about his future......

"Oops! What a pity! Li Yang regretted that Chen Long's long-range shot did not bring Milan a goal.

However, the Milan players didn't expect that Vermeer, who had performed well throughout the game, would get out of the ball when he pounced, after all, when Chen Long shot from a distance, whether it was the angle or the distance, it was actually not very good, and he didn't have any time to prepare, he suddenly shot in the middle of the run, and this kick looked not fast, the power was not great, and it didn't look like there was any threat.

As a result, Vermeer got out of the way.

After seeing Vermeer get rid of it, the Milan players were half a beat late in stoppage time, and were finally cleared by Feltman.

"This may be Milan's last good chance for this game!" Peta is more regretful than Li Yang.

…………

In the 85th minute of the game, the score was still not rewritten, and everyone in Ajax retreated into their 30-meter zone. Milan had all but goalkeeper Stegen in his own half, and everyone else had pressed past the halfway line.

Milan certainly weren't content to be held to a draw by Ajax on their home turf.

If you want to stand out in the Group of Death, every home game is crucial, and any one point is indispensable.

This made them more and more anxious.

The impatience made it easier for Milan to attack, with more long-range shots and crosses from the wings.

But such an attack is not able to break through the Ajax goal, and it is relatively easy to defend.

With time running out, Ajax are just three minutes away from the away draw they want.

In the 87th minute, Chen Long picked up the ball outside the Ajax penalty area, and he adjusted his direction and turned sideways towards the goal.

He was not very far from the penalty line, and Ajax's player Eriksen immediately stepped out, defending Chen Long, and not allowing him any chance to shoot with his feet - Chen Long's long-range shot almost created a chance for the rest of Milan to score, Ajax didn't want to do it all over again, and it would be too miserable to let Chen Longmeng go in.

Seeing Eriksen rushing towards him, Chen Long made a move with his right foot to pass the football to the back of the penalty area.

Eriksen, who pounced on him, did not dare to slack off, and immediately jumped up, and at the same time turned around, intending to block Chen Long's cross with his body.

Who thought that Chen Long was a feint!

His right foot slammed the ball into the box and shook off Eriksen, who was jumping.

Chen Long, who broke through Eriksen, immediately dribbled the ball into the Ajax penalty area, and his action scared everyone at Ajax very nervous. Suddenly, two players wearing Ajax jerseys rushed out of the penalty area and pounced on Chen Long.

But as soon as they came out, there was a gap in the already overcrowded Ajax penalty area.

Chen Long keenly caught this gap, and in the process of breaking through, with a shake of his right foot, he passed the football between the two Ajax players who came out, and his goal was to appear in that empty Gross!

"Long Chen, wonderful biography!" Peta shouted.

When Gross saw Chen Long passing the football, he immediately leaned on the Ajax defender behind him, and he didn't have time to see who it was, anyway, he just blocked everyone behind him.

But this time, Ajax defender Van Rijn, who was carried behind him, did not give up so easily, he blocked behind Gross and did not give an inch.

When the ball rolled over, Gross didn't stop the ball, but chose to turn around and play!

"Gross shoots!"

But instead of being shot at goal, the ball was blocked by Van Rijn.

The ball hit Van Rijne's calf and bounced out.

But the football did not pop directly out of the penalty area, but flew high, Ajax defender Feltman in the penalty area jumped up and wanted to push the football out, but Rodriguez next to him also jumped up to fight for the top, interfering with him, so that he did not hit the football, the football flew out sideways, flying to the left rib of the penalty area.

At this time, Chen Long, who was ignored after passing the ball to Gross, suddenly appeared near the landing point of the football, he stopped his steps, raised his foot and unloaded the flying football from mid-air.

"Long Chen!"

In Li Yang's shouting, Chen Long's first stop action was very stable, directly nailing the football firmly to the turf, without extra bounce or extra adjustment.

At the same time, the Ajax defenders followed the football and pounced on Chen Long.

Chen Long, who was looking down at the football, didn't seem to notice this at all.

Because there are too many people in the penalty area, there is not much space for him, and if he has a little unclear brain, or extra procrastination, he may be surrounded by the other party.

Chen Long, who lowered his head, raised his left leg, this was about to shoot, although the angle was a little off, but it was indeed within the range.

Ajax's goalkeeper Vermeer quickly moved to the near corner to block Chen's angle.

Two Ajax players sped up, with Moisander kicking out with both legs and making a flying tackle.

Of course, he didn't want to shovel Chen Long, he wanted to fly out and use his body to block Chen Long's shot.

But football didn't come!

Chen Long, he didn't shoot!

Pull the ball down with your left foot and push it to the right.

Moisander and his teammates just slid past Chen Long and the football......

"Oh, good shot!" Li Yang shouted in surprise.

After deducting the two Ajax defenders, it was as if a crack had been torn in Ajax's originally airtight defensive line, and there was suddenly a gap in the originally dense penalty area!

Chen Long changed his foot on the spot and replaced it with his right leg to kick the football again!

This time it wasn't a feint, he hit the soccer ball with the inside of his right foot, sending it flying and making a distinct arc in the air.

The inverted arc was so big that it even went straight behind Gross and went straight to the back corner of the goal!

And goalkeeper Vermeer even if he tried hard to save, but he couldn't reach it, and he could only watch the football...... Flew into the goal by grazing the goalpost!

"Long Chen! Long Chen! The ball is in!! Peta shouted, and the San Siro Stadium, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly turned into a volcanic crater and erupted violently. Milan took the lead in the 87th minute! 1：0！ ”

…………

Chen Long was also very excited after the goal, he turned and ran to the south stand behind the Ajax goal, waving his fist at the excited Milan fans above, and the fans in the stands responded to him with the wildest cheers and jumps!

A draw at home to Ajax is something that no one wants to see.

Now that Chen Long's goal has put everyone's hearts back in their stomachs, they can cheer to their heart's content.

The Milan players also rushed up, hugged Chen Long from behind, and then joined him in waving their fists and shouting loudly at the fans in the south stands.

Milan's manager, Jose Mourinho, also rushed out of the dugout with excitement and ran all the way to the Milan players celebrating the goal under the south stand, where he wanted to celebrate the goal with his own players.

Now at the San Siro Stadium, it's like being at the epicenter of an earthquake!

"Long Chen! Mr. Key! Li Yang also shouted excitedly. He struck Ajax at the last minute! When passing the ball didn't solve the problem, he chose to do it himself! It reminds us of his performance before he was injured, which is too powerful......"

When the Milan players and fans were frantically celebrating the goal, the TV broadcast broadcast the slow motion of Chen Long's goal just now, and when he saw Chen Long pretending to shoot with his left foot, but the football was buckled to the right side, Li Yang exclaimed: "This buckle is really a stroke of genius!" Looking at a very ordinary smash, pouring out at the right time but with no less power than a nuclear bomb, Chen Long is really calm and terrible when he holds the ball in a small way! ”

Peta was also full of praise for Chen's approach and choices in the penalty area, and when it came to Chen's final shot, he said: "Most players will choose to pump hard when facing this last kick, and leave the rest to God. But Zhou Chenlong calmly chose to shoot at this time, and he also controlled the arc of the football, so that the football just bypassed Gross, and also let the dense crowd in front of the goal block the sight of Ajax goalkeeper Vermeer, and when he saw where the football was flying, it was actually too late......"

Frank de Boer's carefully constructed defence, which lasted for 87 minutes, eventually crumbled under Chen Long's deft blow. Ajax have done well throughout the 87 minutes and they deserved a draw. But that's football, no one knows what's going to happen in the next second, Ajax may take a point from here, but it may not take a point at all! ”
