Ventura's mission now is to recuperate from her injuries and recover as soon as possible. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

And Chen Long's task is to lead the team to victory.

After the match against Shakhtar Donetsk, Milan will welcome their league game. In the league, they host Empoli.

Because the away game against Shakhtar Donetsk was so difficult and the players were extremely drained, Mourinho continued to rotate for this game.

The vast majority of players who have played in Champions League games have been replaced.

Only a handful of people have been in a row.

Chen Long is one of them.

Today's Chen Long has already completely asked for injuries, so physical fitness is not a big problem, so Mourinho will not rotate him when he can.

Milan are now four points clear of Juventus in the league, and if they lose, they will be overtaken by the opponent, or even further and further, in the other league game that ended yesterday, Juventus beat Sassuolo 2-0 away, temporarily one point behind Milan with a game in hand.

At this time, Mourinho did not dare to let Chen Long rest, as the absolute core of the team, he can play, which can greatly increase the chances of Milan winning.

In the end, with the help of a goal from Chen Long, Milan defeated Empoli 3-0 at home. The gap between them and Juventus was extended back to four points.

…………

The following week, Juventus met Arsenal in the Champions League and, somewhat surprisingly, beat Arsenal 3-1 away. Originally, everyone thought that this would be a close game, and Arsenal was playing at home, so there must be an advantage, but they didn't expect Juventus to win so smoothly. Three away goals and a two-goal lead on aggregate have almost helped Juventus advance to the quarter-finals.

This is not good news for Milan, who of course hope that Arsenal can cause a little bit of trouble for Juventus and allow Juventus to focus more on the Champions League and thus affect their performance in the league.

But now, with only one Champions League game in play, Juventus can refocus on Milan in the league......

…………

In the 24th round of the league, Juventus swept Cagliari 6-1 at home, showing their super good form and super strength. The Italian media, especially the local Juventus media, have exclaimed that Allegri's Juventus have been superb, and this season, it seems, is vowing to regain the league title.

It's just that everyone is applauding Juventus' strong performance, but they forget that Juventus is not the only one who has maintained a winning streak since the start of the second half of the season......

There is one more team that has been on a winning streak since the start of the second half of the season, and that is Juventus' opponent Milan!

In the twenty-fourth round of the league, they played Palermo away.

In the first half of this game, they took a 1:0 lead, and although they were pulled back by Palermo in the second half, they finally won the game 2:1 thanks to Chen Long's assist for a goal from Gross.

Although it was not easy to win, it was a good win. After the second half of the season, Milan and Juventus's painting style is completely different, Juventus is a variety of crazy and cool victories, what 4:0 win over Roma, what 6:1 sweep Cagliari, in six rounds of league they scored nineteen goals, only conceded one, a huge advantage.

In comparison, Milan is going to be a little bummer. He also scored nineteen goals, but conceded four, more than Juventus, and has also experienced games such as 3:2 narrow victory over Napoli and 2:1 narrow victory over Palermo in specific matches.

This can also be seen as a manifestation of the difference in strength between the two teams.

According to this reflection, some media believe that Juventus has a great hope of winning the championship, while Milan is likely to fall into collapse as the Champions League schedule deepens.

“…… You know, Milan has to face not only the Champions League and the league, but also the Coppa Italia! ”

So the media said.

In four days' time, Milan will host their Coppa Italia rivals, Juventus......

……………

Last season, Milan beat Juventus 5-2 in the Coppa Italia final, and it was a game with a clear advantage, and it could be said that "Milan slaughtered Juventus" as the headline.

That game saw Juventus lose to Milan in the season and finish second in the Coppa Italia final.

This is a huge shame for a team as historic as Juventus

Now that the two teams meet again in the Coppa Italia, it is bound to cause a lot of reverie.

For Juventus, this is a battle of revenge, the league competition is not yet in sight, but the Coppa Italia is a single-elimination system, as long as Juventus can beat Milan, they can kick Milan out of the Coppa Italia, completely defeat them, so that they can no longer defend the Coppa Italia title.

According to this reasoning, Juventus should give it their all in this game and try to beat Milan.

But the actual situation is a little different from what everyone thinks.

In this game, both teams invariably adopted a rotation......

In other words, neither team is the main force.

There is still a limit to the rotation on the Juventus side, while the rotation on the Milan side is even larger, because even Chen Long was put on the bench by Mourinho.

What does this mean?

If Juventus' rotation is a normal personnel adjustment, then Milan's rotation makes people wonder if Mourinho has some other purpose......

Because he even changed Chen Long, the guarantee of Milan's victory, doesn't that mean that he doesn't care about the result?

For an opponent like Juventus, he dares to let Chen Long not play, and he is definitely not aiming for victory.

Sure enough, in the end, this strong conversation that everyone was looking forward to ended with Juventus beating Milan 1-0 at home.

The game was not exciting, intense, but not exciting, there was a lot of physical contact between the players on both sides, Juventus had four yellow cards, and Milan also had three yellow cards.

Under such circumstances, Chen Long sat on the bench for a full 90 minutes and did not get a chance to play.

…………

After the game, Chinese reporters grabbed Chen Long and wanted him to talk about his thoughts on the defeat of the match.

"I don't have a big opinion, it's normal for us and Juventus to win and lose."

Chen Long threw down a sentence and wanted to leave, but how could the reporters let him get his wish, pulled him and asked: "What made you not play in this game?" ”

"It's a lot of work in a row, the players are tired, it's normal to rotate. It's also normal for me to be rotated. The manager has his considerations, but it's normal. ”

Chen Long used three "normal" in a row, but it made reporters feel that this failure was not normal.

A reporter simply asked: "Was the loss to Juventus deliberate?" Is it to save energy for the league and the Champions League? ”

Chen Long shook his head, said in a very serious tone with a straight face: "Absolutely not!" ”

Then he slipped away, and this time the reporter couldn't stop him, because he had already stopped someone once, and it would be a bit unreasonable to stop him again.

But everyone thinks that Chen Long's answer is basically nonsense, every sentence can be believed, and there is no sentence that can be used.

In the end, they decided to report Milan's defeat as they understood it.

"Jose Mourinho gave up the German Cup to focus on the league and the Champions League."

"Jose Mourinho: a madman."

The media's evaluation of Mourinho's choice is mixed, and those who support Mourinho believe that this is a smart move, which can be regarded as a "strong man with a broken wrist", and he chooses to lose in the face of Juventus, which requires courage and can withstand the pressure of public opinion.

Of course, there are also many objections, believing that Mourinho's choice is capitulationism, and losing the game against Juventus, the direct rivals of the domestic league this season, will severely damage the morale of the team and leave an indelible psychological shadow on the players.

And Mourinho's bet may not be a good result. If in the end both the league and the Champions League were lost, the move to abandon the Coppa Italia now would be considered a joke.

In this regard, no one in the Milan team came out to express their opinion, and Mourinho denied that it was his deliberate move to abandon the Coppa Italia, and his statement in the post-match press conference was his answer to the matter: "Rotation is a strategy that we have been adhering to since the beginning of the season, since it is rotation, there will definitely be players who will go to the bench, and losing some games is also an objective side effect of rotation." We've been rotating since the beginning of the season, and I understand why some people are surprised and incomprehensible about it until now......"

Of course, Mourinho's statement was characterized by the media as "talking nonsense with his eyes open", and what Chen Long said in an interview after the game was also considered to be lying without drafting, and lying without changing his heart beating.

These two are a perfect match together.

………

After "abandoning" the Coppa Italia, Milan welcomed the opponent of the 25th round of the league, Crotone.

Milan played at home in this game, and Chen Long started the game and scored a "hat trick" to help the team beat Crotone 3-1.

Juventus, on the other hand, beat Atalanta 1-0 away.

The two teams continued to chase each other, and no one was left behind.

The league is a long marathon and it will be a very tough test for both teams, not only physically but also mentally.

Milan's stubborn approach is likely to put a lot of pressure on Juventus. But on the other hand, Juventus's consistent performance will continue to accumulate despair in the minds of Milan players.

It depends on who has the greater psychological endurance in the end and collapses later than the opponent.

After this league game, Milan will host Shakhtar Donetsk at home. Although they have two away goals, but because of the lessons of the first leg, Milan no longer dare to underestimate their opponents, who knows what Shakhtar Donetsk can play away from home?

In this game, Milan sent the strongest squad and did not rotate.

Zhou Yi continued to start.

From the first minute of the game, Milan kept the tempo firmly at their feet.

In the thirtieth minute, Chen Long made a cold shot from outside the box and won a corner for Milan.

Sanchez's corner kick assisted Rodriguez to score with a header, and Milan led 1:0!

Seven minutes later, in the 37th minute, Gross provided the assist for Rugani, who scored to extend the score to 2-0, and Milan had a 4-2 lead over Shakhtar Donetsk on aggregate. For the Ukrainian side to progress, they will first have to score two goals away from home to level the aggregate score.

But judging from this game, Shakhtar Donetsk will have a hard time doing it. Leaving their familiar surroundings, they were on opposite sides of the first leg.

In the second half of the game, the two sides changed places and fought again, and in the 59th minute, Chen Long sent an assist to help Niang score a goal, 3:0, and the total score was 5:2!

Peta announced that the game had lost its suspense.

There were huge cheers at the San Siro Stadium, and Milan's progress to the quarter-finals was a certainty.

Mourinho then made a substitution, bringing on players who had played in a row to give them plenty of rest.

However, Chen Long remained on the court, using his pass to help the team control the tempo, curb the counterattack of Shakhtar Donetsk, and prevent Shakhtar Donetsk from having a chance to turn over.

This is an arrangement for the sake of insurance.

Eventually, when the referee on duty Damir Skomina blew the whistle for the end of the match, the Milan players rushed onto the pitch to celebrate the victory, and they eliminated Shakhtar Donetsk 5-2 on aggregate.

Reached the quarterfinals of the Champions League again.

………

As Chen Long said, the defeat in the Coppa Italia did not affect the mood and form of the Milan players, who won the league and the Champions League one after another, and performed well.

In the 26th round of the league, Juventus waited for the best opportunity to narrow the gap with Milan - Milan will challenge Inter Milan away, that is, the Milan derby!

If Milan lose away to Inter and Juventus beat Udinese at home, the gap between the two sides will be reduced to one point, which is almost non-existent with 12 rounds of league games remaining.

So, for Milan.

Against Inter, they have to win and winning the Milan derby is not an easy thing to do. So the pressure is on Milan's side, and it's very high.

Before the Milan derby, reporters ran to interview Chen Long to hear what he had to say about the analysis. Facing the cameras of reporters, Chen Long nodded and said seriously: "Is it difficult to win the Milan derby? Of course, very difficult. Inter are strong at the moment, so we want to beat them and it's not easy. ……”

After answering, he said goodbye to the reporters and left shaking his head, as if Milan would lose this game.

But in the eyes of the journalists, it was strange to think that he admitted that it was difficult to play Inter, but in the end he said that Milan would win...... So he's praising Milan in disguise! The reading comprehension focus of this sentence should be "Despite Inter's strength, we Milan will definitely be able to beat them?"
