According to his own thinking before the game, the half-time result was very much in line with his heart, Ancelotti replaced Zhuoyang and Kaka with Bonella and Seedorf at halftime, and there were more than 60 hours to go to the pinnacle game with Juventus, which was the main event.

Bonella went to left-back, Serginho went up to left-back, Gourcuff and Seedorf formed a double midfield, and Ronaldo was still a treetop. But this arrangement is actually a little unreasonable, because AC Milan has been accustomed to rhythmic scheduling since the hegemonic era, focusing on the back position, attacking and defending at both ends of the field two 40 meters.

From Desailly, Rijkaard, Albertini, Boban and now Andrea Pirlo, although their styles are not the same, their work on the pitch is much the same, and the emphasis is only different due to differences in individual ability.

AC Milan now have two and a half men in the squad who can do the job, Andrea Pirlo and Drojan, plus half Emerson. The forward line is inseparable from Zhuo Yang, so Pirlo is irreplaceable, which is why AC Milan must have one of Ridco and Emerson in the summer.

The so-called half is because Emerson did have the ability to dispatch after the formation in his peak years, but in the past two years, it seems that only the midfield gate and the back plug are left, and AC Milan wants to cooperate with the training plan through the laboratory to see if his ability can be recalled.

If it succeeds, Pirlo will have a decent replacement, and if it fails, it will be nothing more than a loss of 5 million transfer fees, and Pirlo can only rest in front of non-important games or weak teams.

No one knows if it will succeed or not, anyway, Emerson was injured in training not long ago, and the laboratory said that he is expected to recuperate for two months.

If Andrea Pirlo is not on the pitch, AC Milan would be better suited to play as a double striker, moving the center of gravity forward and letting the super attacking trident solve the problem. However, in the second half, without Zhuo Yang's ferocious tearing of the AEK back line in Athens, Gourcuff and Seedorf combined a bit to steal the show from each other, and the combination of Cafu, Shuttle, and Brockie in the back midfield was nondescript, and none of them had the ability to see the overall situation.

At this time, the most suitable formation should be on the peach Gilardino, the traditional diamond position in the midfield, and use the rich experience of the Milan players to complete the standard 4-4-2 operation.

It was the lack of adaptation between the formation and the individual styles of the players, coupled with the top-down lack of attention to the UEFA Cup, that AC Milan fell behind in the second half.

Veteran Spanish coach Ferrer has been in charge of AEK Athens for more than a year, and after escaping the 'curse of Zhuo Yang' last year, his transformation of the team has gradually shown results, and the originally mediocre AEK style has been injected with distinct Spanish wing elements. Regardless of the record, AEK Athens is the most spectacular team in the Greek Super League today.

And AEK pulled a goal back through their wings.

The old and young men of Milan not only look down on the League Cup, but also look down on AEK Athens, which was led by Zhuo Yang to win by six goals as a substitute at this time last year.

Georgis drove long down the right flank, and 70 metres before Milan went into space. It wasn't until he encountered Bonella's tough defense not far from the baseline that Georgis took the opportunity to go back to Rivaldo in the middle, and he pulled Bonella inside.

Rivaldo knocked on the right again and Spain's Cesar continued to burst into the line. Bonella was ripped away, and the shuttle had not yet had time to be in place, so it could only be made up by Karaze. When Cesar pushed the ball back into the middle of the pitch to Libeilopoulos, the protection in front of the penalty area was useless, and the centre-backs were out of position and the defence was wide open.

Liberopoulos pulled out his foot and fired angrily, Karachi flew sideways in front of goal, and Favali was willing to intercept in front of the ball. The shot hit the leg of the golptyhose Pharaoh, slowed down and bounced off before scurrying over the air-pounding Karachi.

Whoever the ball was, the score became 2:1.

At this time, Ancelotti also saw the problem, and if Pirlo was there, he would have shouted: This is unreasonable! An Fat greeted the warm-up Gilardino and prepared to replace Gourcuff with Peaches, and the team played a traditional 4-4-2.

However, Ronaldo suddenly felt a faint discomfort near the groin at the base of his thigh, and he was now afraid of minor injuries and illnesses as if he were afraid of a well rope for ten years. So, Ronaldo signaled to the sidelines for substitutions, and Ancelotti could only replace Luo Tianwang with Ji Momozi.

In the 68th minute, after the substitutions were completed, the veterans of Milan on the field also made self-adjustments under the instruction of Ancelotti, strengthened the width of the midfield defense, and even the substitute defense line was not something that the Athenians could easily beat. In fact, if the players pay attention, the gap between the strength of the two teams still exists, and Greece and Italy are far behind.

The battle gradually calmed off, and Rivaldo, who had almost disappeared from the field, was depressed.

His abilities were naturally far inferior to those of his peak, but Favali did not let his guard down on him. In the 02-03 season, Rivaldo did not score many goals in AC Milan, but he scored in both games against Lazio, and both of them missed the defense of Lazio captain Favali at the time, for which Pharaoh was unhappy for many years.

So from the very beginning, Favali had no intention of letting Rivaldo go, and if Pharaoh had not been injured, his defensive skills would still be first-class in today's world football. The goal just now made Pharaoh very angry, and nine times out of ten it will be counted as his own goal after the game, but it is impossible for him not to save that kind of ball, and the lack of midfield protection will inevitably cause chaos in the back line, and Favali doesn't know who to talk to.

Favalli poured this resentment directly on Rivaldo, and the brick face suffered greatly in the last twenty minutes. Introverts have this advantage, and they don't say a word when they are covered in bruises, and they want to replace Rivaldo with Pig Schwein, and the sky can be broken at this time.

In the 86th minute, Rivaldo had a hard time getting the ball, he was AEK's attacking arrow, and if he couldn't show it, the team would be like that.

Argentine Lopes passed diagonally to Cesar, and the Spanish winger cut inside and was a masterpiece, and Cesar turned into the middle and stirred up a pool of stagnant water. Brocky was pinned down by López, and Kaladze stared at Libeilopoulos on the other side. Seeing that Cesar was about to shoot from 30 meters away, Favali decisively threw Rivaldo and grabbed it to block the shooting lane.

Cesar's ankle shook and the ball went to Rivaldo. Pharaoh defended them, grabbed half of it, and turned to Carivaldo.

After all, he is a superstar of the past emperor, and Rivaldo is still there. I saw him make a false move to let the ball come, and when he turned around, he was about to follow into the penalty area. How could Pharaoh do what he wished, and a shovel with the sound of iron grinding came from behind him.

Rivaldo's ball was a little too big, and when it was about to be destroyed by Favali, he also hurriedly fell to the ground, trying to use his long legs to hook the ball away first and find Molinas on the wing.

In the end, it was Favali who was one step faster, and he still hit the target despite Rivaldo's squeezing, but what was originally destroyed with his foot turned into a toe stab.

Favali fired a tackle straight into the box and into the back of the net, and Karachi couldn't believe his eyes.

Rivaldo was too embarrassed to celebrate, and Favali was too embarrassed to get up from the ground. Zhuo Yang, who was on the field, looked at the two curved cable-stayed arc steel beams again, and said in his heart: Sure enough, it is more like two stinky shoehorns.
