Although the "active leader" Rodrigo Elie bears the main responsibility for AC Milan's "black start", Mihajlovic's line-up and inappropriate on-the-spot response are also one of the important reasons for the team's loss.

In this summer's International Champions Cup, the centre-back duo of Rodrigo Elie and Romagnoli impressed in a 2-0 win over Inter Milan and a 90-minute draw with Real Madrid in regulation time.

It is worth mentioning that AC Milan played the main role in these two games, while Inter Milan and Real Madrid sent nearly half of the substitutes. Moreover, a warm-up game like this is far from being as intense as the real Serie A.

While there was nothing wrong with Mihajlovic pushing for a younger backline, it was a bit too presumptuous to field a centre-back duo with an average age of less than 21 in his important league debut.

In the face of Fiorentina's sharp counter-attack, it was right to choose to keep the ball at your feet, but in the context of the impact attacking players in the starting line-up, AC Milan's most dangerous wide attack was almost paralyzed.

…………

Feng Quan was not too surprised when he learned the news of AC Milan's "unexpected" loss to Fiorentina, after all, the last Serie A live broadcast he watched before "crossing" was this game.

Of course, more powerful reinforcements and abundant funds in exchange for the same result of the game inevitably made Feng Quan doubt Mihajlovic's coaching ability.

If it weren't for the fact that he would have to go to the scene to cheer for Wang Sinan in the women's long jump final, and also participate in the men's 4x100m relay on August 29, Feng would have wanted to return to Italy immediately to participate in the second round of AC Milan.

In the women's long jump final on the 28th, although Wang Sinan created a personal best of 6.97 meters in the last attempt, but when American athlete Baltoletta (7.14 meters), British player Proctor (7.07 meters), and Serbian Spanovic (7.01 meters) all broke through the 7-meter mark, they could only regrettably miss the podium.

Although she failed to finish on the podium, Wang Sinan's fourth place finish was the best result of the Chinese women's long jump event at the World Championships.

In the men's 4X100m relay Group A preliminaries at noon on August 29, the Jamaican team, which did not send Bolt, still won the first place in the group with a time of 37.41 seconds and successfully advanced to the final in the evening.

The next two countries, Britain and Germany, also reached the final.

Although the Chinese team is the defending champion of the event, the Chinese team did not dare to hide their ace like the talented Jamaican team, but safely chose to put the wind all on the last stick.

In fact, except for the Jamaican team, which is the strongest overall sprinter, dared to keep a hand in the preliminaries, all other countries chose to play with the main force in order to ensure that they reached the final, even the once arrogant Yankees.

Perhaps it was the defending champions who put the Chinese team under extra pressure, with Sun Bingtian, who has always been known for his quick starts, finishing sixth on the start and nearly making a mistake when handing over the baton to Zheng Peimeng.

Although Zheng Peimeng's performance was slightly better than Sun Bingtian's, due to a mistake in handing over the baton, even if the gap with the leading team was narrowed, the Chinese team was still in 6th place when the handover was completed with Xie Zhenye, who was in the third base.

Although only the top three in the group can directly qualify for the finals, neither the tens of thousands of spectators at the scene, nor the Chinese viewers who watched the game through TV and online platforms, did not have the slightest worry, just because the last stick of the Chinese team was Fengquan.

Although Xie Zhenye's absolute speed is the slowest of the four competitors in the Chinese team, due to the main 200-meter event, Xie Zhenye's cornering skills are the best among the four.

With his excellent cornering skills, Xie Zhenye overtook two opponents in a row before entering the relay area, and finally allowed the Chinese team to rise to fourth place.

Although the gap between the United States and China was nearly 6 meters when Tyson Gay, who served as the third baseman, completed the handover with Rogers, Rogers, who is well aware of the strength of the wind and the horror, knows very well that as long as he is negligent, he may cut off the lead of the United States.

As it turned out, Rogers' estimate was still very accurate.

It took only 30 meters for Feng Quan to pass the two opponents in front of him after completing the baton handover to Xie Zhenye, and when he was less than 30 meters from the finish, the gap between him and Rogers was only about 2 meters.

Just when Rodgers thought it would be difficult for him to keep the lead of the American team, Feng Quan suddenly turned his head to look behind him when he was about 10 meters from the finish line, and when he realized that the Canadian, who was temporarily in fourth place, had been pulled away by himself by a full 3 meters, he began to gradually slow down his running pace.

In the end, the United States, which was the first to cross the line, won the first place in Group B with a time of 37.79 seconds, while China and France ranked second and third with a time of 37.83 seconds and 37.91 seconds respectively.

…………

Mihajlovic, who was in charge of the giant club for the first time, wanted to completely establish his position in the first round of the league, but Rodrigo Elie, who was given high hopes by him, broke Mihajlovic's wishful thinking with a disastrous performance, and at the same time ruined his supposed bright future in the team.

Despite the limited quality of his second-round opponent Empoli, Mihajlovic used Zapata and Romagnoli in a centre-back pairing, while the more experienced Abate replaced Desiglio, who had been normal in the first round.

In addition, Bonaventura, who has a more balanced ability, replaces El Shaarawy as a left winger.

Although Bonaventura's ability to break through and cut inside is not as good as that of El Shaarawy, with more physical fitness and diligent style of play, he not only often retreats to his own half to participate in defense, but also has a certain passing ability Bonaventura can also help Pjanic better organize the midfield.

After the lineup adjustment, AC Milan is obviously a little smoother in terms of offensive organization than in the first round of the league. However, in the face of the stubborn Empoli, AC Milan had 13 shots (6 on target) in the entire first half, but AC Milan could only regret to return to the dressing room with a score of 0-0.

After the start of the second half, AC Milan, which had the advantage of being at home, continued to besiege Empoli, but when the opponent fully retracted the defense, it was not until the 38th minute of the second half that Mandzukic scored with a header in the small penalty area, helping the team to achieve the first victory of the new season with difficulty.

Although the Serie A will be suspended for a week due to the international break, and the journey of the World Championships in Athletics will be completed, and the "Milan Derby" will be held on September 14.

Even though the return of the team will significantly improve the overall strength of AC Milan, the team's poor performance in the first two rounds of the league has made many Italian media more optimistic about Inter Milan with two wins in two games.

In the eyes of these media, although it is not too much to say that he is the first person in today's football with Fengquan's current personal ability, he basically did not participate in AC Milan's summer training because of his participation in the World Championships, so it is difficult to form enough tacit understanding with his teammates even if he appears.

Therefore, although Feng Quan's return can improve the overall strength of AC Milan, in the absence of sufficient tacit understanding, it is difficult to replicate the drama of turning the tide of the game on his own when he was at Atletico Madrid.
