369 Rain Fight
In the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals, AC Milan played Manchester United at home, the sky was gloomy, there was no rain, the enthusiasm of the fans was very high, and the game was noisy before it started, and the noise was not much less than that of Old Trafford.
Ferguson walked into the San Siro stadium with a bigwig aura and few boos from the fans. The old man walked towards the country, "We must win the key battle." Let you feel our ground cooperation. ”
"It's going to rain, and the ground can't match." Jiang Shan smiled and was very calm, "I want to win this game." I'm going to defend the Champions League and no one can stop me. ”
As he spoke, the light rain fell and hit the old faces of the two, "See?" God is helping me. ”
"It's just a light rain, and the cooperation will not be affected."
Jiang Shan stopped talking, he didn't want to say too much. Before the game, he arranged for the staff to water the lawn more, but it is still soaking wet, and first of all, the players are running differently than usual.
Of course, if the rain is a little heavier, the impact will be even more severe, and playing in the water is completely different.
Ferguson looked at the lawn shrewdly, the grass was verdant, and he felt different, and he suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.
'Scholes is on the pitch and should be in control. Ferguson thought to himself.
There was only one change to United's starting line-up, with Paul Scholes replacing Smith and the rest of the starting XI as they did in the previous leg. But the formation has changed, Manchester United play a 433 formation, the front three are Wayne Rooney, Huaro and Ryan Giggs, and the rudiments of the front line have appeared.
Jiangshan's personnel arrangement is similar, and he thinks of it with the red-nosed old man, and Tomathan also did not start, and was replaced by Seedorf.
Gattuso is still out injured, and Voger starts the game, partnering Andrea Pirlo, Ambrosini and Seedorf in a midfield quartet. Up front is Ronaldo and Ronaldo, who lurks behind Ronaldo.
Jiangshan discharged a 4411 formation, and Xiao Luo almost became a free man in the frontcourt.
Before the start of the game, the Milan players were very excited, they saw the rain, and immediately increased their confidence, during this time, they arranged training in the rain every day, but they didn't expect it to rain.
"The country is so powerful, even the weather factor is taken into account. What reason do we have not to win this game? Xiao Luo thought excitedly.
Ronaldo also had the same thought, "If you fall in the rain, it shouldn't hurt, right?" I shouldn't get hurt, well, do a good job. ”
Seedorf looked at Pirlo, who shrugged, "Jiangshan is a Chinese, who knows astronomy and geography. ”
"Beep!"
At the start of the game, Manchester United took the lead in attacking. Huaro holds the ball, breaks through, cuts into the edge of the box, gives the ball, and Rooney is in the middle.
Then, Rooney missed the ball and he slipped.
The lawn is a bit slippery...... It was moist and comfortable to step on, but when he pedaled hard, the focus was obviously not as good as that of a dry lawn, and then he used too much force and fell to the ground.
Ferguson's face changed suddenly, "Rub rub...... So that's the case, Jiangshan, bastard. They watered the lawn too much, plus the weather, it was not good, and today's game was dangerous. ”
Milan was controlling the ball, not fast, slowly controlling the ball, advancing, and gradually approaching Manchester United's penalty area.
AC Milan has been trained for a long time, passing and counterattacking have been perfected, and every trick can be easily used, Manchester United's changes are not as good as Milan, and this game is very difficult.
The ball passed from Pirlo's feet to Seedorf, then to Ronaldo, and then to Ronaldo, who broke through with the ball, was not fast, and was stuck in position by Vidic.
The shot was low and Ferdinand controlled the ball.
The impact on the turf is mutual, with Manchester United's players affected, as did Milan's players. It's just that they're more adaptable, and they can control their power and rhythm better, which is an advantage.
Sometimes the best players compete and a small advantage can make the difference in the outcome of a match.
Ferguson sensed the danger was approaching and immediately rushed to the sidelines, commanding the team, letting Paul Scholes and Carrick hold the ball and dispatch the attack.
Milan's attack is obviously in the air to prevent the inferior environment on the ground, and Manchester United also has to learn to go high in the air immediately and try to walk as little as possible on the ground. However, it was too difficult for the players at Manchester United to be clearly uncomfortable, to change tactics suddenly, and not to prepare enough before the game.
In the 13th minute, AC Milan broke the deadlock.
Midfielder Andrea Pirlo's overhead pass fell to the feet of Ronaldo, who took a step and immediately attracted the defense of Nemanja Vidic and Ferdinand, leaning over and moving in a dashing manner.
With a knock on his heel, he turned the ball to Rowe in the back. Xiao Luo got up directly and scored with a hanging shot.
Ronaldo scored again and AC Milan took the lead, 1-0. The big score is 3:3.
With the advantage of home and away goals, Milan only need to maintain the score until the end of the game to advance to the Champions League final and reach the Greek Olympic Stadium.
Seeing Milan's goal, Ferguson's face changed. He clearly felt that the Milan players were adapting well to the current form, especially in the rain game, and they were definitely prepared.
Very well prepared.
"Jiangshan actually arranged rain battle training?" Queiroz leaned into Jiangshan's ear and said, "Did he know it was going to rain today?" ”
"No, he just knows that there is a lot of rainy weather this week, and this guy is too difficult to deal with." Ferguson gritted his teeth and snapped out a few words.
Scoring first and taking the lead in the series, the Milan players were even more mental. Their impact is being unleashed, the pressure is relieved, and they continue to hammer down on United's defence.
"Jiangshan's arrangement is too correct, as long as you follow him, you will definitely win the championship." Pirlo became more and more in agreement with Jiang Shan, "This guy, who is young, is so calculating. ”
"Our coach is amazing." Hummels and David Silva looked at each other and smiled, thinking the same thing.
The rain, without stopping the mind, is getting heavier and heavier.
Water began to appear on the turf, and the attacking rhythm of the United players became more and more disrupted, and their ground was infiltrated by rain. I can't play it, and the game is getting harder and harder.
Before the end of the first half, Milan doubled the score again.
Seedorf received a pass from Ronaldo and scored a close-range shot to extend the score to 2:0.
2:0 at home, 2:3 away, and a 4:3 lead. And AC Milan have two away goals in their hands. Manchester United will have to score two goals to turn the tables around. Scoring two goals to level the scores, they won their first game and could also advance.
But as it stands, can they score two goals?
Milan entered the second half with a score of 2:0, and Jiang Shan quickly made personnel adjustments, replacing the goal-scorer Seedorf and replacing the young Silva to let him feel the atmosphere of the Champions League semi-finals.
Silva is a technical player, and he is also in good shape, and at the last moment, he assisted Inzaghi, who came on as a substitute, and scored the winning goal, 3:0.
Milan beat Manchester United at home to advance strongly.
