286 Fight Juventus again
If you have to use one sentence to describe the situation in Milan in the past period, it must be overwhelming. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
In the next 31 rounds of Serie A, there will be a key matchup, Milan at the San Siro Stadium to play Juventus again this season.
The first leg between the two teams was played at Juventus' home stadium, when Milan, who were short of young players, lost 0-1 at Juventus' home stadium due to the Champions League. Therefore, this upcoming game is, to a certain extent, a revenge battle for Milan.
In addition, in the standings, although Juventus is twelve points behind Milan, but as the defending champion, Juventus is now very strong, and during this time, not only Milan is winning in a row, but Juventus is also winning in a row.
In addition to the strong performance of the defending champion Juventus in the league, their results in the Champions League are also impressive, in the just-concluded quarter-finals, Juventus defeated the Premier League hegemon Manchester United 3-1 on aggregate, and advanced to the Champions League semi-finals this season, and is the only team in Serie A to successfully qualify for the Champions League semi-finals this season.
So for Milan, the home game against Juventus, on the one hand, is indeed a battle of revenge, and on the other hand, it is also to break the barrier to winning the final title this season. To win the title this season, Juventus must overcome a hurdle.
The same is true for Juventus, who have faced their toughest form in recent seasons and face the toughest challenge on their way to winning the title.
The reality is that with only eight league games remaining, Juventus are likely not to win the league title this season, as Milan, who are at the top of the table and the main opponents of this battle, are already 12 points ahead of Juventus in the standings.
What does 12 mean? Many people know in their hearts that for Juventus, if they want to win the league title, this match with Milan has become particularly important, and they must win Milan away from home, seize every opportunity to shorten the points with Milan. In this way, we may be able to finally reverse and win the championship. Of course, the difficulty of this can be imagined, if you want to win Milan at Milan's home, this season, it seems that no Serie A team has done it, Milan has played all the home games so far this season, there is no defeat, and it can be called the first devil's home stadium in Serie A.
Because this game means too much, it naturally received a lot of attention before the game, and everyone is looking forward to it, paying attention to the pre-game dynamics of these two teams, looking forward to the start of the focus battle.
At the Melo training base, in the past few days, the whole Milan team has been training behind closed doors, and it can be seen that despite the team's recent hot form, the head coach Mourinho has not slackened at all, as a top coach, Mourinho knows very well what the two strong teams should do before the start of the game.
The day before the game, on the Melo training ground, all the Milan players were divided into two teams and were playing a group match.
The regular starting eleven, led by Jackie Chan, was training with another team of substitutes, and the team of substitutes looked very similar to Juventus in their movements and style of play, yes, because they were making a pre-match tactical set-up.
For Milan, in the upcoming match with Juventus, there are two players in the Juventus team who need to be marked the most, they are striker Dybala and midfielder Stefano ~ Sturalo.
Striker Argentine Dybala, in recent seasons, has been Juventus' leading scorer, this season, he also continued the hot form of previous seasons, whether in Serie A or the Champions League, has a good goal rate, and as of now, he is also ranked fifth in the scorer list, for Milan, this game, Dybala will test Milan's backline.
Stefano ~ Sturaro is the result of Juventus's youth training, and has gradually grown into Juventus's midfielder in recent years, and he is also the core of the Italian national team's midfield.
Therefore, against Juventus, Milan's midfield will face a severe test.
On April 23, 2024, Beijing time, in the thirtieth round of the 2023~2024 season of the Serie A League, Milan sat at the home stadium of San Siro to face Juventus, and the key match started on time at 7 pm.
In the morning, after Milan finished the final tactical training before the game, at the Melo training base, a popular basketball player was interviewed by media reporters.
Romelu Lukaku: There is no doubt that Juventus is a strong team for Milan, we lost to Juventus away from home, although Milan had an incomplete squad at the time, but it is enough to show that Juventus are very strong, it is not an easy game, of course, we will definitely win Juventus at home.
Chen Long: Did you score a goal? Of course, you know as a striker, his first priority on the pitch is to help the team score goals, I want to score, I want to help Milan win, Juventus is a respectable team, they have been in the Champions League this season as well, very good, this game, it will be very tough.
……………
Jose Mourinho: I believe my players, we've been in the Champions League this season and we're out, so the league is something we can't give up on, Milan have a very good prospect at the moment, but you know it's football, so anything can happen and we have to give it our all.
From the mouth of the Milan general, I learned about the same point of view, that is, this match with Juventus, Milan attaches great importance to it, and there is no contempt.
On the Juventus side, after coming to Milan a day ago, some of their players were also interviewed by the media, and they were also very cautious about this game.
Dybala: Milan this season, very strong, they have overstayed the top of the table, which was unimaginable before, for Juventus we have to win this game, again, I believe that this season we will still win the league and I will give it my all.
Sturaro: It's going to be a tough game, no matter what the final result is, it has to be so, it's going to be the biggest challenge for Juventus or Milan this season.
Allegri: Milan coach Jose Mourinho is a top coach in football, and this season's Milan is also one of the strongest teams, so this game is fully worthy of the four words of strong dialogue.
Perhaps both sides knew the importance of this game, so they had a tacit understanding before the game, showing respect and caution towards each other. (To be continued.) )
