Before the game, the Italian media gave AC Milan a boost that they were very likely to beat Millwall at the San Siro Stadium, and cited many reasons, in addition, there were also Galliani, Kaka, Seedorf and many others who stood up to express their confidence in winning.

That was just an expression of the seriousness with which AC Milan approached the game.

The Champions League semi-final with Millwall also has a special meaning for AC Milan - to retain the first place in Serie A and maintain the status of the leader of Serie A.

Last year's 'phonegate' incident had a great impact on AC Milan, even if the team's lineup was basically unchanged, the league results were also seriously affected, and it also led to the third place in the league this season, behind Inter Milan and Roma.

There is a phrase that works well - football politics and politics.

That's exactly what Italian football is.

Each team will have political tendencies, will be divided into left, right, AC Milan owner, Berlusconi, who has served as the Italian prime minister for a long time, is the leader of the center-right coalition forces, AC Milan is naturally also a center-right team; The Agnelli family, who are at the helm of Juventus, has always been friendly with Berlusconi, and Juventus is naturally a right-wing force; Lazio and Rome are rivals of the capital, and politically, Lazio is the most extreme right-leaning force, originating in the wealthy areas of Rome, and historically becoming a representative of the extreme right because of the favor of the notorious Mussolini, and there are often Nazi flags in the stands of Lazio fans.

On the contrary, Lazio's sworn enemy, Roma, is a leftist team.

The other left-wing teams, the representative is Napoli, where Maradona played.

The Moratti family, who are at the helm of Inter Milan, have always been politically neutral, but most people see Inter Milan as a left-leaning team.

Football may seem to have nothing to do with politics, but Italian football has a lot to do with it.

There is a saying in Italian football that "as long as the right wing is in power, Inter Milan will not be able to win the championship".

It seems like a joke.

But looking back on the past ten years, Inter Milan has been investing heavily in the transfer market, but it has not been able to win a league championship, and has been suppressed by AC Milan and Juventus.

Ronaldo.

Vieri.

Robert Baggio.

Listen to the names of past Inter Milan stars, and you can probably think about how brilliant Inter Milan is that 'bad results' is.

Inter Milan are not a special case.

In the past decade or so, Italian 'left' teams have struggled to achieve good results, and Serie A has been almost dominated by right-wing teams.

Italian football is not pure, and the darkness in it is unimaginable to the outside world.

The fact that the 'phonegate' scandal can expand and sweep the entire Italian football scene is a clear proof of this, and the 20 teams in Serie A, as long as they are politically stained with the word 'right', will almost certainly be stained.

This is no longer a simple football incident, but a game that has expanded to Italian politics.

Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi was naturally the losing side.

Although Berlusconi has been serving as Italy's prime minister, everyone knows that his position is no longer so precarious, and the demonstrations against Berlusconi are everywhere for the time being, and what he said is not as useful as before.

In such a political environment, AC Milan, as Berlusconi's team and as a representative team of the 'center-right' league, is naturally very affected.

In this season's league, AC Milan can only be below Inter Milan and Roma.

For many teams, the third place in Serie A is a great result, which means that they can represent Italy and participate in the Champions League next year, which is an unacceptable result for AC Milan, but they were suppressed by Inter Milan and Roma in the league, which is already a certain situation, at least this season There is no chance, so they can only 'play out' to maintain the face of the hegemon.

AC Milan fans also desperately hope that the team can win the Champions League again, and then they will be able to hold their heads high to deal with Inter Milan fans - Inter Milan is the league champion? We are Champions League winners!

With this mentality, AC Milan arrived on the pitch with great fighting spirit. They ran very aggressively, fought fiercely, played very tough, and showed quite good coordination and skills.

Millwall was a little uncomfortable.

Many players feel that the game does not seem to be the semi-finals of the Champions League, but the final of the Champions League, and the trophy is decided in one game, and they are ready for a difficult game, but the level of struggle of the other party is still a little unexpected.

Everyone can feel that the fight is much harder than the first round!

However, Millwall has a score advantage, and naturally has a psychological advantage, the performance in the game is still very stable, the offensive cooperation is very stable, there are few sudden attacks when passing and receiving the ball, and there are few times when the ball is conceded by a tough defense, and the defensive formation is also very stable.

Such a calm style of play is a strategy formulated for preparing for war.

In the case of two goal advantages, Millwall should focus on stability, stable defense, stable attack, do not give the opponent too many opportunities, in order to respond to all changes, it is AC Milan that should be anxious, if the opponent makes a mistake, the team can seize the opportunity to hit the opponent by surprise.

AC Milan's toughness and Millwall's composure came together and the game was spectacular.

Every player on the field is running desperately, and every player is fighting with all their might.

AC Milan had good luck.

In the 21st minute, Kaka received a pass from Seedorf and shot directly from outside the box, the ball was punched out by Graham, and then Ambrosini followed up and scored with an empty kick to help AC Milan score the first goal of the game.

“GOOOAL！！！”

After Ambrosini scored completely, the Italian commentator frantically shouted, "Ambrosini has scored!" The score of the two legs became 2-3! AC Milan pull a goal back! There is only one point difference left between the two teams! ”

"AC Milan only need one more goal to knock out Millwall and get close to the Champions League final!"

————

The San Siro Stadium erupted!

Every Milan fan is shouting excitedly, tens of thousands of voices gathered, the whole stadium seems to be shaking, Milan fans are excited, they hope that the team can eliminate Millwall, but there is only a disadvantage in the score, the last leg of the game also proved that Millwall is not a good opponent to deal with, but they did not expect that AC Milan performed so well, only more than 20 minutes, can complete the first goal.

There's still a lot of time left for them to score their second and third goals!

Maybe today is not just about knocking out Millwall, but also about winning a big win in the semi-finals of the Champions League!

Milan fans were excited.

AC Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti has always been sitting in a serious position, watching the game between the two teams seriously, when he saw Ambrosini score, the old coach couldn't help but smile on his face, he was not only happy for the quick goal, but also the burden on his shoulders was much lighter.

The difference between the two balls is too heavy!

If the gap becomes a ball, the pressure becomes much less.

Carlo Ancelotti stood up and clapped his hands and celebrated with the players on the bench, his expression revealing his satisfaction with the game, while also being proud of the adjustment made for Millwall.

In the last leg, AC Milan were underprepared.

This is something that the AC Milan players need to review, because they must have been careless, they are playing a lot worse than usual, and Ancelotti himself has to review his lack of preparation for the game, such as the importance of Braniff, the importance of Vardy, the importance of Morris, and so on.

This is also to blame on the media.

AC Milan and Millwall have not played each other for a hundred years, the two sides are completely strangers, to say that Millwall must have a certain understanding of AC Milan, because AC Milan has always stood on the highest stage in the world, tactics, personnel, etc., have long been thoroughly analyzed.

Millwall is different.

Millwall is a team that has only risen in the last two years, and AC Milan can only learn about Millwall through game footage, through ad hoc investigations by scouts, and through media reports.

So AC Milan suffered.

However, after the end of the first leg, AC Milan also had a thorough understanding of Millwall, including the opponent's tactics, including the level of the opponent's players, and the coaching staff led by Ancelotti also found the best way to deal with it - tough.

Millwall are a Premier League team with a bit of a tough style in their own right, but they are still afraid of tough opponents.

Rome and Valencia, for example.

In the Champions League group stage, the two-legged match between Roma and Millwall made Millwall suffer a big loss with solid defense and toughness; Valencia were no worse than Roma, having beaten Roma over both legs, but their two-legged match with Millwall was nothing short of a tragedy, each time they lost 'easily', and they didn't even have much power to resist.

That's because Valencia's style is on the soft side.

This also led to Millwall being able to play to the advantages of their midfield and their players, and Valencia was naturally no match at all.

AC Milan are also going to play tough.

As long as you are tough and Millwall to play, the opponent will not be able to play wantonly, and AC Milan has not been greatly affected, but the style of play will become simpler, but AC Milan has never lacked technical players, midfielders Pirlo and Kaka can completely drive the offensive rhythm and make the goal more technical and efficient.

Ambrosini's goal is the result of adjustment.

The tough fight of the whole field, while preventing Millwall from playing, also created more opportunities for AC Milan, Seedorf and Kaka's cooperation is the inevitable result of temporary play and tactics, otherwise there will be other cooperation, which will threaten Millwall's goal.

Ambrosini's timely follow-up was also the direct cause of the goal.

The goal gave Carlo Ancelotti more confidence in the game and he is looking forward to the next game.
