Ahead of the Champions League final, the morale and confidence of the Ajax squad is high, which is the confidence they have cultivated from one win after another this season, and most of the main players in the squad are young talents in their mid-twenties, just like the rising sun, and they believe there is no opponent they cannot beat.

Also facing the Champions League final, compared with the high morale of the Ajax team, the atmosphere in the AC Milan team is a bit dull. Basten has been recuperating from an injury for a long time, and originally thought that he could come back after recovering from the injury, but he didn't expect the old injury to recur just after his comeback, and he didn't heal for a long time, and now he is going to announce his retirement directly.

And Gullit is also in poor condition due to injury this season, he did not play much in the first half of the season, and he rarely played well, and he also broke out sharp conflicts with his teammates and coaches, and once had a fierce quarrel with captain Baresi in the dressing room, and then he transferred to Sampdoria during the winter break, but he recovered his form in Sampdoria, and his performance was very good.

In this season's Serie A, AC Milan was also robbed of the title by Juventus, which forced AC Milan to win the Champions League final, and then participate in next season's Champions League as the defending champions, otherwise they will miss next season's Champions League.

But will they be able to beat Ajax? I'm afraid that AC Milan doesn't have much confidence in themselves, right? In the group stage, they were once killed by Ajax, although the media can say that the group stage reference value is not large, but they themselves know, they have done their best, but they have not been able to help Ajax, these two games can be said to be a complete defeat, AC Milan did not make up during the winter break, but Ajax has an additional reinforcement Ding Hongxing, which makes AC Milan's confidence even more insufficient.

Especially in attack, AC Milan, which lacks the Dutch trio, has also exposed the shortcomings of its lack of attacking power, and their defense is still quite solid, but in the face of opponents of Ajax's level, it is difficult for them to score a goal, as evidenced by the clean sheets in both group games.

In terms of strength, AC Milan really can't compare with a few years ago, and in terms of confidence and morale, they have been hit again and again this season.

Of course, AC Milan is also a skinny camel bigger than a horse, and they can still reach the Champions League final all the way under such circumstances, which proves that the giants are still very deep, so at the beginning of the game, the shape on the field is still evenly matched, and Ajax does not have a clear advantage.

AC Milan's defensive line is too experienced, goalkeeper Rossi, central defenders Baresi, Costacuta, full-backs Maldini, Panucci, plus a very large midfield coverage of the midfield Desailly, this line of defense is unparalleled in the world of football, if there is any shortcoming, it is that the central defender combination of Baresi and Costa Kuta is a little older, but before this game, they have been hidden for two games, and their physical support for this game is still no problem.

Ding Hongxing was arranged in the midfield position in this game, Van Gaal also saw that AC Milan's attack power was insufficient, and their two starting strikers in this game, Massaro and Savicevic, were too far behind Basten in terms of scoring ability, so Ding Hongxing in this game was mainly to give full play to his offensive ability, taking into account some midfield defense.

After the start of the game, Ding Hongxing felt the strength of AC Milan's defense, or the strength of Italy's concrete defense, AC Milan's defensive system is an upgraded version of Roda JC's defense, their defense line, the distance between each two defense players is maintained very well, and every offensive player faces them, there is a feeling that there are always more than two defenders defending them.

AC Milan's defensive players have been playing together for several years, and they have a tacit understanding in cooperation, and they are several grades higher than Roda JC in terms of personal ability, and Roda JC's defense is still difficult to break, let alone AC Milan?

Ding Hongxing tried to break through twice with the ball, but such a complete defensive system made it difficult for him to have space to sprint, and his speed advantage could not be reflected. ，

He also wants to pass the ball to his teammates, but AC Milan's defensive strategy is that you pass horizontally and back to you, but if you want to pass straight up front, they are immediately like spiders whose webs have been touched, and they react quickly, using their experience and cooperation to break the pass.

A through ball is a pass with a very low success rate in any game, let alone in the face of these experienced and well-coordinated opponents, it is good to be able to succeed once in dozens of times, but can there be so many passing opportunities in a game for them to waste?

Ding Hongxing wanted to try to shoot from a distance again, but he couldn't get into the 30-meter area with the ball, and the success rate of shooting outside the 30-meter area was not high, AC Milan also arranged two midfielders in the middle, Desailly and Albertini, their attention was very concentrated, seeing that Ding Hongxing had the intention of shooting from a distance, they desperately came up to block Ding Hongxing's shot, and no matter how bad it was, it could interfere with it, in this case, how could Ding Hongxing hit a high-quality long-range shot?

Ding Hongxing had no choice but to seek more cooperation with his teammates, but he found that some teammates didn't know whether they were too excited or too nervous, their performance was a little abnormal, and their movements were deformed, which was understandable, after all, they were participating in this kind of competition for the first time, and they were too far behind their opponents in terms of experience.

Faced with this situation, Ding Hongxing was not in a hurry to attack, he regained a distance, began to use long passes to dispatch his teammates' attacks, and also mobilized the opponent's defense, striving to find the flaws in the opponent's defense line.

Anyway, the game is ninety minutes, maybe even one hundred and twenty minutes, and since there is no good way to do it now, then their attack does not need to be rushed.

In this way, the much-anticipated Champions League final fell into a dull tug-of-war, with no good shooting opportunities for either side, but this is also expected by many people.
