After the restart, Real Madrid, who had just equalised, were demoralized and performed much better than before, and they even dominated the field for a while, suppressing Milan and forming a siege, while Milan had to retreat to defend. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Fortunately, until the end of the first half, Milan did not concede any more goals.

However, the Spanish commentator was quite unconvinced: "If it weren't for the lack of time left in the first half, I believe that Real Madrid would have scored another goal before the end of the first half and turned defeat into victory!" This half-time break saved Milan and Real Madrid's rapid momentum was interrupted...... But I think for Real Madrid, who are back in form, the fifteen-minute interval is not a problem, as long as the momentum is maintained, there will definitely be goals in the second half! ”

The Spanish commentator finally expressed his confidence, which also made the Real Madrid fans in front of the TV feel confident and full of anticipation for the second half.

Things do look a little bad on Milan's side.

Just take the lead and concede the goal, the lead turns into a draw, and the good situation has a tendency to "come to naught" at any time.

Sometimes no tactical arrangement on the pitch is used, a goal, a conceded goal can change the situation, and this is perhaps the charm of football......

At half-time, despite the pressure in front of goal at the end of the day, Mourinho praised his team's performance in the first half and asked his players to continue to play like that in the second half. Tactics are no problem, even if they are equalized and still pressed, it is not a tactical problem.

In the back studio of Spanish television, the host and guests commented on the first half of the match between the two sides. The guest said Milan's tactics were more successful in the first half: "...... In fact, to be fair, the first half should not be a draw, but Milan should take the lead. After all, it was Milan who played better in the first half, their tactics were more targeted and effective, and the players executed better. ”

This guest is quite objective.

The host's position is more obvious: "Of course, but there are always a lot of unexpected situations in football games. Real Madrid did have a bit of better luck and were able to equalise immediately after conceding a goal. But from the start of the second half, I think the balance of victory will be in the side of Real Madrid because Milan's fitness will be an issue. ”

"It's true that this run-and-grab tactic is physically demanding. Therefore, Real Madrid should be more patient, withstand the siege of Dortmund in the second half, and wait until 70 minutes later, the initiative will gradually return to Real Madrid's hands. ”

After all, the guests are also from Spain, so of course they have to support the Spanish team.

…………

At the start of the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again.

Milan's tactics were the same as in the first half, with tireless running and managing.

In the face of Milan's tactics, Real Madrid can only shrink the defense and then counterattack.

Fifteen minutes of half-time did interrupt Real Madrid's very good momentum, and it was difficult for them to lay siege to Milan's goal again at the start of the second half.

It's back to the way it was in the first half.

But the difference is that the mentality of Real Madrid fans has changed subtly from the first half.

The score is a draw, which means that everyone is evenly matched, and whoever can score a goal in the end may win the game.

As the second half wore on, Milan's fitness was bound to go wrong and they couldn't have been able to use this tactic all the time, either collapse or abandon that style of play, and whatever they did, it would be good news for Real Madrid. As long as Real Madrid has enough patience and defensive toughness to keep Milan's offensive during this period, the next game will be their world.

As soon as they thought of this, the fans of Real Madrid were much calmer than in the first half, they were watching Milan's kind of rush, and they were laughing at Milan in their hearts, playing like mad dogs, and in the end, they still couldn't escape death?

Run, keep running, and spend all your remaining energy on this pointless run!

……………

So under the curse of the Real Madrid fans, Milan continued to run hard to contain Real Madrid.

People are waiting for the time when Milan will be forced to abandon this style of play due to physical exhaustion, or collapse.

But what we were waiting for was Milan's goal in the 64th minute.

In the corner kick, Cai Heng jumped high, overwhelmed all Real Madrid defenders, and put the football into the goal.

The corner kick that led to Shi Caiheng's goal came from a shot from Niang, which was saved by Navas.

Before Niang could shoot, he had just received a ball from Long Chen.

The ball passed by Chen Long came from the ball grabbed by Milan in the front court. So in the end, it was Milan's high pressing tactics that played a role.

Real Madrid still haven't been able to withstand Milan's tactics.

"Cai Heng! Milan leads Real Madrid 2:1! ”

The San Siro Stadium erupted in loud cheers again.

At this time, the commentator of Spanish TV was comforting the fans of Real Madrid: "It's a pity that this goal is a pity, but it's okay...... It's just one goal behind! Milan's fitness will soon run out, and then the game will be in the rhythm of Real Madrid! ”

He made sense, so many Real Madrid fans did not have the feeling of "this game is going to lose" after conceding the goal, but looked forward to Real Madrid's counterattack in the future.

………

Everyone was waiting for the time when Milan ran out of energy and had to give up their high pressing.

But that moment was long delayed.

In the 67th minute, Mourinho replaced Rodriguez with Boli, giving Rodriguez, who is physically exhausted, a chance to rest. Poli, who is full of energy, has just come on the pitch and certainly has an advantage in terms of physical strength.

And apart from the substitutions, the rest of Milan's players did not show any obvious signs of physical exhaustion.

The Spaniards who are wishful thinking and wait for Milan's fitness to collapse really don't know Milan, which in Serie A are known for their physical fitness and running ability. If you look at their pre-season training schedule, it is not surprising to see this result, as physical training and running are a very important part of Milan's pre-season training.

Jose Mourinho is known for his emphasis on fitness and the team's ability to run, something that every Milan player feels acutely. Every year in pre-season training, they practice like dogs, and they may hang up at any time. But now, the sweat and hard work they put into physical training finally reflect its value and brilliance.

Against Real Madrid, Milan's incessant high pressing showed no signs of abating, and each of them was still running tirelessly on the pitch as if their physical strength was inexhaustible.

Such a performance was a bit of a surprise to those who knew that Milan was physically promising. Because just four days ago, they had just played a fierce Milan derby......

Before this Milan derby, it was the national team match day, and many international players in the Milan team had national team competition tasks and flew back to the country to compete, such as Chen Long and Cai Heng, who flew more than 10,000 kilometers back and forth.

Such a back and forth will definitely affect physical fitness.

But what the players showed in this game was as if they had been off for a month. The fitness is surprisingly good.

The non-stop pressing tactics of the Milan players have caused some panic among Real Madrid fans who are planning to wait for Milan's fitness to collapse and fight back - what will Real Madrid do if the Milan players continue to run like this?

As time went on, the score did not change, and the players of Real Madrid became more and more anxious.

They started out with the idea of holding on until Milan's physical exhaustion collapsed, but now they find that this goal is likely to be unattainable......

The fitness of the Milan players is not exhausted at all, and if they wait, the game will be over!

So you can't defend anymore, you have to attack.

But as soon as the attack, the Real Madrid players were forced by Milan in the high position, and there were frequent mistakes, and it was not easy for this attack to be pushed up......

Jose Mourinho replaced the starting Bale with striker Unseld in the 73rd minute, and this substitution was of course hoped to strengthen the team's attacking firepower.

A minute later, he replaced Morata with Kroos, and with all three cards in his hand, the rest was beyond his control. He can only be a spectator from the sidelines, watching the players on the pitch play on their own, and if they play well, it is still possible to equalize......

It's a pity that his substitutions and adjustments didn't make any difference.

The score has still not been rewritten.

In the 89th minute, Mourinho made a substitution, he replaced Gross with striker Ganso, which actually had little tactical significance, mainly to delay time.

In the ninetieth minute, Chen Long was also replaced, and it was Ventura who replaced him.

Both this substitution and the previous one serve the same purpose, to stall for time.

Real Madrid had less than two minutes left to equalise.

Real Madrid almost came out of the nest in the final moments, and everyone except goalkeeper Keylor Navas pressed through the half.

But it still couldn't bring even a single goal to the team.

When the referee Kaushoi blew the whistle at the end of the match, the score was fixed at 2:1 and Milan emerged victorious!

At this time, the first thought that pops into the minds of many people is nothing else, but "Murphy's Law".

Unfortunately, Chen Long said that he was right!

When something bad is going to happen, it's going to happen.

When Real Madrid are likely to lose to Milan, then they will definitely lose to Milan.

And the more people care about this probability, the greater the probability!

The telecast gave Chen Long a shot of him being substituted and returning to the pitch with the rest of the substitutes to celebrate the victory with his teammates.

Peta did not comment on Chen's performance in this game from this shot, although he performed well, completing an assist, in addition to an indirect and indirect assist. But that's not the point, it's what he said before the game.

"If it was a psychological battle, then his pre-match performance was a perfect example of psychological warfare. Real Madrid seemed very impatient when they were pressed by Milan in this game, and there must have been a role in Chen Long's words, and they were stimulated. ”

In the end, Peta said: Chen Long once again showed his strong midfield ability, and, even more unbelievable, he 'killed' Real Madrid with just one sentence, ha! ”

……………

After the game, Chen Long was also the focus of media reporters, and what he said before the game caused quite a lot of controversy, and now the result of the game is really what he "predicted", and everyone certainly wants to hear what he has to say.

Chen Long, who stood in front of the microphone, looked very innocent: "I really don't mean to provoke, nor am I arrogant and arrogant, I just told everyone a scientific term, but I didn't expect it to be over-interpreted by the media." I originally thought that a slang term that was ubiquitous in the Western world and had nothing to say, but now it seems that I didn't think it through. If you ask me what I think about this, I'll just have one opinion -- there are some things that make scientific sense, and it doesn't depend on personal emotions, whether you like it or not, it's there. Murphy's Law is not a good thing, but it does exist, it's just a psychological phenomenon, don't over-read it. This game is a good proof of that. ”

A reporter asked: "Is it understandable that no matter how hard the Real Madrid players work, Real Madrid will definitely lose to Milan?" ”

Zhou Yi hurriedly shook his head, pointed to the reporter who asked the question, and said: "I didn't say that, if there is a deviation in the report at that time, you will be responsible." ”

He pointed to the reporters present and said: "There are so many fellow reporters here to testify, I have never said anything like that!" ”

A group of reporters rolled their eyes in their hearts......

Or a Chinese journalist came out and changed the subject: "So after beating Real Madrid at home, does it mean that Milan will win the first place in this group?" ”

Long Chen waved his hand: "This is the group of death, and everything happens normally." Not only can we not say that we are top of the group, but it is too early to say whether we can get out of the group, who knows what will happen next, Manchester City are also a strong team......

Before he finished speaking, the Chinese reporter who asked the question looked at him with a mysterious smile and said: "Manchester City just lost 1-3 away to Ajax. ”

"Uh......" Chen Long couldn't go on......

"In this game, it can be seen that many Real Madrid fans, and even Real Madrid players, are expecting that there will be a physical problem with the Milan players in the second half, so, in fact, what is the physical condition of the Milan players?" A reporter asked.

"Haha, that's a good question, but I think everyone who follows Milan should understand that this Milan team is a young Milan team, Milan that has always had a reasonable age structure, it is the result of the joint efforts of the manager and the club, and we have also experienced hard physical training before the start of the season, so how can we have a problem with fitness?"

Long Chen's answer made the scene silent for a while.

Yes, unconsciously, today's Milan team is already a Nerazzurri team with great hopes of creating a new dynasty, how can such a young Milan have physical problems easily?

After speaking, he waved his hand and forcibly said goodbye to the reporters.

Looking at his departing back, some of the reporters laughed.

"Eh, you said that two seasons ago, he swore in advance that Milan would definitely be able to qualify for the Champions League group stage at that time, why is he so low-key and humble this time?"

"This is modesty, this is obviously wilting!" Someone next to him immediately said. "I feel like he's talking back all the time......"

"Wouldn't it be too sensitive?"

"Insensitive, we just have to take a deeper look at Long Chen's words, we can't just look at the surface meaning, we have to fully tap his heart, the ghost knows what subtext he has?"

"Do you know who I sympathize with the most right now? It's Manchester City! Chen Long said that it would be okay to kill Real Madrid, Real Madrid is their opponent in this game. People were shot thousands of miles away in Manchester City, and he was stunned to death......"

"What do you mean by that?"

"After the last match between Milan and Manchester City, didn't Chen Long say that everything is possible when he was interviewed by us? What did he say at the time......" The speaker looked up and thought for a moment, then continued. "'Even though Jax is in last place right now, if you underestimate them, you'll suffer.'" Yes, that's what I said. You see, is this Manchester City planted on Ajax? A dignified Premier League champion, three consecutive defeats in the Champions League group stage! Is...... Shame on you, tsk. ”

A group of people also remembered that Chen Long had said such things before. At that time, everyone didn't think much about it, just a normal and ordinary scene.

Unexpectedly, he was really predicted by Long Chen.

…………

The two Champions League group games that kicked off at the same time in one night came to an end, with Milan beating Real Madrid 2-1 at home, extending Real Madrid's embarrassing record of years without a win in Italy. But this result is not too surprising, many people after knowing this result, even if they didn't watch the game at all, will think that this result is normal, if Real Madrid win, they will be surprised.

But the result of the other game really scared a lot of people.

Manchester City actually lost to Ajax away from home! The team considered the weakest in the group beat Manchester City 3-1 at home!

In fact, in the first half, Manchester City was able to reach a draw with Ajax away from home, and the score between the two sides was 1:1.

But in the second half, Ajax scored twice in ten minutes to kill the suspense of the game.

Sampaoli's side suffered an embarrassing three-game losing streak in the Champions League group stage.

This was something that many people did not expect before the game, when the draw results were just out, everyone thought that Ajax were the target of all the teams in the group to get points, and the two places in the race will be between Real Madrid, Manchester City and Milan.

Unexpectedly, halfway through the group stage, Manchester City fell first. Now after three games, Milan is at the top of the table with nine points with three wins and three wins, Real Madrid is second with two wins and one loss, and Ajax is in third place, with one win and two losses and three points. Manchester City, who have won all three games, have zero points and are in the bottom of the table.

With three group games remaining, if City are to make it out of the Group of Death, they will have to win all three of their last three games, and they will have to hope that none of the teams ahead of them will win, otherwise their chances of qualifying will be very, very, very low......

But even if this is the case, there is only a theoretical possibility for Manchester City to qualify......

After the game, the Manchester press said: "It turns out that the 'Group of Death' is just a ...... for Manchester City"

"The 'Group of Death' has become the Group of Disappointment, and the devil knows what City have been through!"

…………

Manchester City are naturally disappointed, while Milan are in a good situation.

They have nine points from three games and have yet to lose, and are six points ahead of third-placed Ajax. And in terms of mutual victory and defeat, they also have an advantage. In the next three games, Milan only need to meet two conditions to secure a place in the qualifying places.

The first one is to win one of the three games left, and you only need to win one.

The second condition is not to lose to Ajax by two goals or more.

As long as these two points are met, basically this right to qualify will not run.

And the reality is much more optimistic than this theoretical scenario.

Because the theory is based on the fact that Milan won just one and then lost two, while Ajax won all three of their remaining games.

Leaving aside the two rivals Manchester City and Milan, it is basically impossible for Ajax to beat Real Madrid on the road, so this theoretical limit situation is unlikely.

It can already be asserted that Milan will not be in suspense to qualify from this group of death. The only suspense may be who is first and second between them and Real Madrid.

After losing to Milan, Real Madrid changed from the first group to the second in the group, they will definitely not be willing to touch the first place in other groups, nor will they be willing to let Milan win themselves, so in the next Champions League group stage, after returning to their home stadium, Real Madrid will definitely do everything possible to beat Milan.

The contest between these two teams is the biggest attraction of this group.

As for the term "group of deaths...... Everyone now finds that the original Champions League Group D in 1999 is a classic that cannot be surpassed and replicated, and this year's Group D is just a bluffing 'Group of Death', which is actually a paper tiger, and Manchester City's lack of strength has made this group lose a lot of suspense. It's hard to call a group with such a big difference a 'group of death'.

……………

After the match against Real Madrid, Milan played Lazio away in the twelfth round of the league.

In this game, Mourinho used a large rotation. Although the whole Milan team showed amazing physical fitness in the match against Real Madrid, they are not robots after all, and they still need to rest, and the players are tired both physically and mentally after two consecutive high-intensity fierce confrontations.

So after the match against Real Madrid, Mourinho gave all the players who participated in the match a full day off, even if it was actually a league game against Lazio three days later.

Jose Mourinho had no intention of letting some of those players play in that game at all.

In the away game against Lazio, Chen Long didn't go, Cai Heng didn't go, Gross didn't go, Sanchez didn't go, Rodriguez didn't go, and the above people were not in the 18-man squad.

But even so, Milan, who played in the second team, defeated Lazio 2-0 on the road, and the Champions League was fought on two fronts, with no one on either side delayed. This also shows that Milan have accumulated some experience in dealing with both domestic and European competitions after playing in the Champions League for three consecutive seasons.

For Milan, the good news doesn't come alone. In the same league round, Juventus suffered a somewhat unexpected 2-1 defeat at home to Atalanta, their first league defeat of the season.

And this defeat also stuck their points at twenty-four.

Milan remain top of the table with 28th and took the opportunity to widen the gap on Juventus.

This season's Milan, unlike what analysts think, is not considering giving up their domestic league in exchange for a full-fledged qualification for the Champions League.
