However, despite AC Milan's unusually ferocious attack, in fact, it still failed to score, and the game went on until stoppage time, and the score remained at 0:1 With the game, the referee's whistle sounded, and the game was over, and in the 90-minute fierce battle, the two sides played 0:1, and Liverpool defeated AC Milan and temporarily took the lead.

Although this game was lost, the knockout stage of the Champions League is a 180-minute match with a two-legged home and away knockout system to determine which team advances, so AC Milan still has a chance to return to their home stadium in the next game, and it should not be difficult to score two goals in the face of their home advantage and advantage.

So the players are not so sad as they were in the last Coppa Italia game, but are focused on preparing for the next game, which will be played in midweek next weekend.

The Italian Cup, on the other hand, was decided to be adjusted to the next week's midweek after the Champions League conflict, that is, next week's midweek Champions League and next week's midweek, the Italian Cup.

In the face of such a tense and complicated schedule, there are league games at the weekend, AC Milan team seems a little tired, coach Ancelotti constantly encourages the players to let the players relax in training, in the weekday training, try to arrange as little strength and high-intensity confrontation training as possible, mainly let them recover their strength, so that they can maintain a good state to participate in the next three battles.

In an instant, it came to the weekend's league, Ancelotti discharged a 442 lineup, the main strikers Shevchenko and Zhang Qing sat on the bench, and Inzaghi and Tomasson continued to rotate to play the main force, that is to say, they will do their best to stay, and compete for the Champions League game in the middle of next week, other positions have also been rotated, and the midfield back line, have been pasted with a certain number of substitutes, so that the main players can get a certain rest, and because the opponent is weak, so this can also ensure the results of the game, You won't lose the game because of your own negligence, so many teams and many big teams will have 2 or 3 sets of rotating lineups, corresponding to different competitions, leagues, continental competitions, cups, etc., such as multi-game games a week, or even three games a week.

The substitute team played quite well in this league game, although they did not beat their opponents by a big margin, but the score of 1:0 was enough for AC Milan to take all three points in the league and continue to bite the opponent Juventus to lead the standings.

Another piece of news is that only AC in Serie A, Milan and Juventus are undefeated, and they have won 100 or draws, which is also very rare in the history of Serie A.

So this game is also an opportunity for the substitute rotation players to perform, and if they perform well in one of these games, then Carlo Ancelotti is likely to replace him in the main line-up.

And since the team has some older veterans who need more breaks between games, some rotation can be a good way to preserve their stamina.

After playing a league game at home, the next midweek game is at home, against Liverpool, this is a Champions League knockout match, the second leg of the game, the result of the game is very important, in the last game, AC Milan team lost to Liverpool with a score of 0:1 away from home, so this game must win the opponent back at home, if you win one goal, it is not enough to advance, at least win more than two goals and make sure that the opponent does not score at home on this side, Because this game is the same as the Coppa Italia with away goals, it counts as two.

In the last game, AC Milan did not score any away goals, so back at home, they must not let their opponents have a goal, otherwise, even if the score is 12:1, they will not be able to win the final game.

Well, it didn't take long for the midweek game and Carlo Ancelotti once again fielded a line-up similar to the first leg of the Champions League knockout round.

The forward line is still Shevchenko and Zhang Qing, the middle of Xi'an, Seedorf and Kaka composed of a double forward lineup, the two back midfielders are still Pirlo and Gattuso, so the front lineup has not made any adjustments.

On the other hand, Liverpool did not make further adjustments to the lineup, but continued to use the 442 formation of the previous game.

As soon as it came up, AC, the Milan team launched a fierce attack, after all, they fell behind the opponent 0:1 in the first round, and at least two goals must be scored in this game to ensure victory and advance to the next round, so, under Pirlo's strategy, AC Milan launched an attack on Liverpool's backline, Pirlo made a long pass, directly to the feet of Seedorf on the left, Seedorf took the ball and was ready to break through, he and captain Maldini cooperated on the side, interspersed with each other to run, In the end, Maldini went down to cross and Shevchenko and Zhang Qing, who were ambushed in the penalty area, made a strong shot.

Liverpool's central defender Carragher struggled to grab points, and he repeatedly defused AC Milan's attacks and was an iron gate for Liverpool. At this time, the ball arrived, at Kaka's feet, and he was ready to break through with the ball himself after getting the ball.

At this time, Liupu's two obviously have a vacancy, and Zhang Qing, the contrast run, ran out of a gap, waiting for Kaka's pass to see, the inside of the arch of the right foot a precise straight stopper, directly to Zhang Qing's feet, after he stopped the ball, directly with his right foot, ready to shoot with his left foot, the opponent's defender has come up to block, Zhang Qing directly smashed the ball, pretended to shoot, actually passed, he passed the ball to the striker's Shevchenko, Shevchenko took the ball with his back, he didn't have much chance to turn around and shoot.

So he pushed the ball back to the high-speed forward midfielder Gattuso, although Gattuso is very good at defense, but his offensive ability is limited, passing and shooting accuracy needs to be improved, but he did not make any adjustments to this goal, but shot directly, the ball shot quite threateningly, directly hung to the upper left corner of the goal, the opponent's goalkeeper Reina swooped down, held the ball out, corner kick.

After the corner kick was a former penalty, he was ambushed in front of the post, he was ready to head the ball back, pass the ball to other teammates, let other teammates attack, at this time, AC Milan central defenders Nesta and Stam and others came to the penalty area. Because they have an advantage in height and are very powerful in headers, they often go forward to the opponent's penalty area when they take a set-piece or a corner kick, and they will rush to the goal, which has also become a sharp weapon for the AC Milan team to repeatedly break the goal.
