"AC Milan are the best team in the history of the Champions League, they have won seven trophies, and compared to their illustrious history, we can only be considered schoolchildren'......"

In his pre-match press conference, Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone expressed his views modestly.

But this stubble-faced "bandit handsome" had no intention of admitting defeat, and he changed his words:

"But I've always thought that the trophies and results of the past don't have any reference for the games that haven't started yet, otherwise we wouldn't have come to Milan to challenge them. I hope to be able to show the world a tenacious Atletico Madrid team in tomorrow's game! ”

"I very much agree with the manager's words, the stronger the opponent, the more we can burst out."

Player representative striker Diego Costa is equally confident:

"Yes, AC Milan are playing at home and they have two Ballon d'Or in their squad, but we are still confident of beating them!"

-

The Atletico Madrid coach's statement is not a bluff, with their form this season, even Real Madrid, Bayern, and Barcelona cannot be taken lightly.

Under the leadership of Argentine coach Simeone, the Atletico Madrid team has perfected their tactical style after more than two seasons, and they have become a strong team in the whole European scene.

As a civilian team without too many big-name players, Atletico Madrid's main tactical play is high pressing and defensive counterattack, strong midfield linkage defensive tactics make up for the lack of individual ability, rigorous discipline and efficient execution make them look more like a ruthless iron army, and in such an iron army, fierce defense is indispensable.

'They often attack from both flanks, especially on the left, which tends to be the focus of the attack, and the combination between the players is very fluid and the technique is more delicate, so I ask the two full-backs to defend first.

Allegri is giving his team a final pre-match stress:

'No one can dribble too much in midfield, everybody has to be on the run at all times, both offensively and defensively, and remember to form a small area of play and not get stuck in a one-man situation. Because Atletico are very good at creating a numerical advantage in the local area, so that the ball carrier is surrounded by a lot of people, so we have to be resolute and fast with the ball, and I would rather you shoot from distance than be counter-attacked......"

The game was about to start, and the tactical arrangement had been practiced many times in the past few days, so Allegri didn't talk nonsense, and walked out of the dressing room with just a few key points, while several other coaches added small stoves to players in different positions.

For example, the goalkeeper coach will give Abbiati another lecture on the shooting habits of Villa and Costa, and Tasotti will tell Balotelli how to deal with Atletico's defenders......

As a dedicated defensive coach, Gattuso is emphasizing the characteristics of Atletico Madrid's strikers to two centre-backs, Mexis and Bonaira:

'Villa played for Barcelona for a couple of seasons and he's been injured, so he's scared of confrontations, but be careful of his range of motion and watch out for him faking falls in the box; And Costa is a very dirty striker, he will constantly provoke you with covert movements and swearing, and never be led into the pit by him......"

Gattuso stopped suddenly.

As a recently retired Milan legend, he certainly knows his old team-mates well, and to be fair, he doesn't think Bonella and Mexes will be able to keep their heads up for 90 minutes.

So he changed his tune:

"If you get a chance, get him off!"

Bonella and Mex's expressions suddenly appeared.

This one...... Yes!

-

"With Simeone's entry into Atletico Madrid, the original La Liga middle and upper reaches of the team have sprung up, in just two seasons, they have almost formed a strong momentum with Barcelona and Real Madrid, and this season has shown great obviousness, they are not at all behind in the confrontation with Real Madrid and Barcelona, and they still maintain the first place in the standings......"

Zhan Tianjun is introducing AC Milan's opponents - because Milan has no need to introduce them at all......

"Some media compare Atletico Madrid to Dortmund in the previous two seasons, because there are a lot of similarities between the two, both are based on defense, use active running to cut the space on the pitch, both have a good striker, and both rely heavily on attacking from the wings, do you think this comparison is appropriate?"

Zhan Tianjun is not a commentator who is particularly good at analyzing tactics, so he gave this part of the content to his partner.

Zhang Lu pondered for a moment before he spoke:

"There is some truth to this comparison, but if you look closely, the styles of the two teams are different.

Borussia Dortmund are more reliant on counter-attacking and will need to tempo the game to get more attacking opportunities, while Atletico are not deliberately looking for quick pushes and may play some good small technical combinations locally to push forward.

In addition to this, Dort's attack is more holistic, their defenders and midfielders often get forward, while Atletico's defenders are rarely involved in the attack, which is why Dort's occasionally suffer big defeats, while Atletico's defense is solid......"

He seemed to hesitate for a moment, but finally did not say anything.

Zhan Tianjun finished speaking for him:

"Zhang Zhi must want to say that Atletico Madrid's defense is more fierce and dirtier than Dortmund, right?"

Zhang Lu laughed:

"Hey, hey, hey......"

-

"Richie, and Stephen, be careful not to get hurt."

Ronshit reminded his teammates one last time.

Kaka and Shaarawy are both teammates he traded for a healthy teammate, and of course he is reluctant to let them be scrapped again......

But Balotelli was a little unhappy, and as he straightened his pants, he bowed his head and muttered:

"Why don't you care about me? I'm the one who just came back from injury, right? ”

-

"Drop!"

No one would have expected that the first person to fall to the ground...... It's not Kaka and Shaarawy, it's not Balotelli, it's the Iron Man this season!

The game only played for less than 6 minutes, and Ronshit was viciously put down at the top of the arc of the penalty area by Atletico Madrid defender Gabi!

This was originally an inevitable lightning phantom pass by Longshut, who was as strong as Yaya Toure, Kompany, Bonucci and other first-class defenders could only do nothing, but the slightly thin Atletico captain took the first step to stretch out his left leg and tripped the starting Milan No. 8 to the ground!

Gabby didn't have the intuition of a beast or a sixth sense beyond ordinary people, he didn't have the intention of seeing through Long Shute at all, he just closed his eyes and blindfolded him!

But he was right!

With Long Shute's explosive power, such a sudden external force interference was enough to make him lose his balance, but fortunately, he rolled over at the first time, and unloaded most of the inertial momentum on his body, which avoided the danger of falling directly to the ground......

He wasn't injured, but he still had some of a feeling of being out of breath, so he had to lie down on the line of the penalty area and catch his breath a little.

Allegri on the sidelines suddenly jumped up from the coach's seat as if someone had exploded a chrysanthemum!

If Lonshit had left the game in the sixth minute with an injury, he really didn't know how to play this game!

Milan in the middle ...... How can there be a player who can replace Ronjut?!

There are probably more than 100 million people who think the same way, and more than 70,000 home fans have expressed their dissatisfaction with the Atletico captain with a flood of boos, while putting pressure on the referee.

The match between Spain and Italy was whistled by referee Felix Bruch from Germany, who was the focus of the German Football Association and a true doctor of law......

With a rigorous German character, combined with a doctorate in law, he certainly would not turn a blind eye to such an obvious foul, and the Atletico captain was undoubtedly given a yellow card and a stern warning:

"Watch your movements, sir, there's no next time!"

-

When Lonshette got up from the turf and signaled that he was okay, his teammates, coaches on the sidelines, fans in the stands, and supporters in front of the TV all breathed a sigh of relief.

Even Zhan Tianjun, who has always been praised as "truly objective and neutral", is no exception:

'Thankfully, Ronshit looked fine and he even signaled to Balotelli and Kaka that he would take the free-kick himself......

Balotelli's free-kick level is actually quite good, especially since this season, due to the fear of the explosion of Longshute's dominance attribute and grabbing his position as the first penalty taker, Ba Shen has also specially practiced this skill, and Longshute has never fought with him in ordinary games, so no such thing has happened to the two of them.

But this time Ronshette just stood at the penalty spot, and Super Mario had to retreat obediently.

The real big guy doesn't need to open his mouth at all, his teammates will spontaneously stand behind him.

This has nothing to do with the ball dominance and cancer, but because everyone agrees with his leadership and core position in the team.

It's not that he can't trust Balotelli's free-kick level, but he wants to tell Gabi and Atletico Madrid's players with a goal:

Want to stop me with a foul?

Then come on!

-

The 22-year-old Belgian star has shown the potential to match any of his peers and is considered to be another top-class goalkeeper after David De Gea.

Courtois, who is 1.98 meters tall, has a huge coverage and excellent goal-line skills, whether it is a high ball or a ground ball, it is difficult for him to react quickly.

But when Ronshit used the instep of his right foot to make an arc, Courtois's heart suddenly sank!

His first instinct was, of course, to pounce on the near post, but after crossing the human wall, the arc suddenly circled towards the far post in the air as if it had been pulled by a mysterious force!

Courtois can only stand five or six meters away...... Watch the ball fly into the net!

1-0！

AC Milan took the lead in the 8th minute!

Amid the sound of the tsunami at the San Siro Stadium, the goal-scorer Ronshette was as calm as ever.

He just patted the badge on his chest, and then bared his teeth at Gabi in the human wall.

If you think the free-kick is luck...... So can you try again?

The price to make me fall...... Can you afford it?
