355 big tone
In late February 2007, the Champions League was rekindled, and the round of 16 began, competing for eight promotion places.
Milan will first travel to Portugal to take on Portuguese league leaders Porto away. Jiangshan's team is still second in the Serie A standings, and the points gap with Inter Milan is still 5 points, and they continue to wait for opportunities.
Porto have been in a mediocre situation in recent years, with Mourinho leaving them four managers in two years, and Portugal boss Jesualdo Ferreira is now the fifth manager.
The veteran boss continued to work his way up and down in the Portuguese Super League, with a successful 2003-06 spell at Braga, which became the most successful Portuguese club since the last three of Sporting Lisbon, Porto and Benfica.
After becoming the head coach of Porto, Ferreira basically won the domestic championship, but the Champions League was slow to make a breakthrough. Against AC Milan, all they want is to win at home, or hold on for a draw.
AC Milan has been too ferocious in the Champions League in the past two years, last year was simply unstoppable, and this year is a little better, but everyone knows that Milan will not stay any longer when it comes to the knockout round.
Jiangshan's team is injury-free now, Ronaldo has recovered and found his scoring touch through a few games, and he will be ready to play for the next game.
"Coach, I'm ready. Whatever team has the goal, I can bomb it open, I want to score, I want to score, I want it. ”
"Coach, I'm ready, any striker in front of me, I'm not going to worry. I want to block everybody's goals, I'm full of power. 'Nesta is also full of spirit when he returns from injury.
Some time ago, Nesta was plagued by injuries and Milan dropped four points in the league, but fortunately Inter Milan dropped points almost at the same time, otherwise the gap between them would have widened.
The Stade de la Dragon, one of the most crazy stadiums in Europe, is not easy to conquer even if the big teams come here.
The Porto people want to win, Ferreira deploys troops, and he also knows that the best way to face Milan is to counter-attack on the spot, otherwise to send the ball to the opponent's feet is to hand the knife to others.
Ask someone to cut the flesh slowly on yourself.
Porto put on a 442 formation, with Elton in the goalkeeper position, and the back line lined up, Bosingva, Pepe, Alves and Faucile. Bosingwa and Pepe both made their debuts in Porto, but this Alves is not the same as Barcelona's Alves, not alone.
The midfielders are the trio of Meireles, Gonzares and Paulo Asunsan, and the front is the trio of Sandro López, Postiga and Quaresma.
Well, the players in the midfield, many people are familiar with their names, but none of these people have reached the height that everyone thinks, and they have not been able to grow, which is a bit of a pity. On the contrary, it was Pepe on the back line who became a generation of grandmasters.
On Milan's side, the lineup arranged by Jiang Shan is also at 433, with the tip of the needle against Maimang.
Goalkeeper Dida, on the back line, Zambrotta, Nesta, Maldini and Grosso, are all in good form. Stam also made a smooth comeback, the old man can hold on for more time, and the team is well-manned at the back.
The midfield trio, Gattuso, Pirlo and Ambrosini, the main defensive and offensive players are clearly distinguished, and the recent ones have been in good shape and recuperating well.
The frontcourt trio, Ronaldo, who has returned from injury, plays, with Kaka and Xiao Luo, a crazy frontcourt combination, an almost invincible trio.
If Ronaldo were at his peak, Porto would have surrendered.
After the start of the game, Milan slowly took control of the situation, Xiao Luo was deployed in the front, and there was Pirlo in the midfield, the connection of several people was very clear, and the players of Porto also knew to defend them, but there was no way, they couldn't hold it.
Pirlo's long pass was given to Ronaldo, who shook a few steps, passed through Asunsan's defence, took the ball easily, and landed at the feet of Ronaldo.
Ronaldo leaned his back on Pepe, forced him to eat with his body, and Pepe used both hands and feet, trying to block Ronaldo, and his face changed.
Suddenly, Ronaldo turned around, Pepe's whole nerves tensed, and he didn't hesitate to kick and foul. It was too late, the ball was already in the net.
After Ronaldo's goal, he opened his arms and easily walked away from the goal scene. Pepe looked lonely, "Can anyone tell me what just happened?" How did Ronaldo score goals? ”
Jiang Shan smiled, he was very satisfied with Ronaldo's fighting ability, he returned from injury, adapted in the league again, and now he is fully recovered, and his state is also up, and this year's Champions League is expected.
In the opening less than 10 minutes, Milan had already scored, leading 1-0 away and killing Porto by surprise.
Just now, the moment Ronaldo turned around, he keenly noticed that the goalkeeper was not in a good position and had space. At the same time, he stabbed with his toes, and the ball was fast and fierce, and it exploded into the goal in an instant.
Pepe noticed the upper body, didn't notice Ronaldo's small movements, and was taught to be a man by aliens.
Ronaldo excitedly walked to the sidelines and high-fived Jiangshan in celebration.
"Well done, you can keep scoring." Jiang Shan smiled happily, the Brazilian front trio was justified in AC Milan, and it was the young head coach Jiang Shan who justified their name.
The game went on, and Porto's players were not intimidating, constantly attacking at home, trying to equalize as soon as possible. Nesta and Maldini controlled the defence and did not give the opponent a chance.
A healthy Nesta is especially important for AC Milan, no matter how he is dispatched, Nesta's rotation is the least, and he is irreplaceable at the back.
Injured some time ago, Milan lost immediately, and now that they have recovered, Milan's defence is once again impregnable. The ball was cut off by Nesta and distributed to Andrea Pirlo in front of him.
Pirlo drooped his eyelids, turned around, took three steps, and got up, not fast or slow, but the rhythm was beautiful and full of beauty.
The ball flew up and landed at Kaka's feet, Kaka twisted the ball, faced Mereles, kicked forward vigorously, passed to himself three seconds later, and the ball was divided, accelerated, and passed.
Crushing passing, very brutal movements, Mereles hung behind Kaka to chase back, but in fact, it was just for show, and he couldn't catch up at all. Kaka instantly hit the edge of the penalty area, and Alves came up to press.
Kaka continued to accelerate without fear, but instead of rushing forward, he cleverly passed to the side and fell to the feet of Ronaldo, who did not shoot.
Sending a beautiful through ball through the way between Pepe and Bosingva, Ronaldo appeared between the two defenders and faced the ball with ease.
El informed him that the ball was coming, and instinctively pounced, and the ball flew over his head and mischievously burrowed into the net. Xiao Luo's shot, four or two thousand pounds, without any warning, is beautiful.
"2-0, Milan doubled the score." With a two-goal lead in less than 30 minutes, Milan was already setting the tone for the game.
