AC Milan's players don't think 'there is no suspense in the game', they just know to attack hard and create that chance that may exist.

The game went on, and AC Milan continued to besiege Manchester United.

'AC Milan have reached a dangerous situation and they have to keep attacking and try to catch a goal before they have a chance to beat Manchester United!'

This is the statement of the Italian commentator.

The British commentator was more direct, "AC Milan can't win anymore, considering Manchester United scored an away goal, they have to score four goals to knock Manchester United out, but it's impossible, no team can break Manchester United four times in 60 minutes!" ”

The score gap between the two sides is a bit too big!

AC Milan had no choice but to give up defending and pressing on all fronts.

It was only the first half.

This style of play also proved that AC Milan were in a desperate situation, and their efforts paid off - in the 35th minute, Kaka crossed diagonally into the penalty area and the Ukrainian nuclear warhead Shepchenko scored a goal for AC Milan.

When the ball flew into the goal, AC Milan did not celebrate the goal, but quickly picked the ball back to the centre circle to start the game again.

They didn't even have the heart to celebrate.

Despite their hard work, the consequence of the heavy press was a lack of defence, and before half-time, United launched a quick counter-attack with a bad pass from AC Milan, with Paul Scholes and Van Nistelrooy linking up to break through the AC Milan backline, and then Van Nistelrooy drove straight into the box and lobbed the ball into the back of the net with a lob in front of the box.

4 to 1!

It was a goal that completely deprived AC Milan of a chance.

There was still half of the game to go, but the efforts that had been made were easily defused by a goal, but in this game, Manchester United also had to score one more goal than AC Milan, and it was a bit fantastical for them to score four goals in the half.

Van Nistelrooy was delighted after the goal, having missed the first leg due to injury, but before the second leg even the young Chinese coach said he was in great shape and fit to start for United.

Now he's finally on the scoresheet.

Even as one of the world's top strikers, Van Nistelrooy is still under pressure at Manchester United, who are full of talented young strikers and must perform well all the time if he wants to maintain his position as the leading striker.

Now he's proven himself again.

After the end of the first half of the game, the Manchester United players easily returned to the dressing room, some of them were talking about the game, some had begun to look forward to the opponents in the quarterfinals, and some players simply talked about it, the topic has been out of the category of football, such as Shen Yang's team is a big talk, and some people began to talk about Ferdinand and other injured players, who should go to Huaxia Jiangcheng to do recovery training so that they can recover as soon as possible.

Listen to what the players are talking about and you can see that they don't have the pressure to play anymore.

With such a big lead, there is no suspense about the outcome of the game.

In some ways, a relaxed mindset is a good thing to get the best out of a player, while on the other hand, a relaxed mindset can lead to a lack of attention to the game and give the opponent a chance.

The latter point was verified at the start of the second half, when AC Milan suddenly launched a fluid attack and caught United off guard, and then, Kaka stood on the edge of the penalty area and pressed Silvestre, turned and volleyed the ball into the net to help AC Milan score a goal.

After that, Manchester United defended more calmly and did not give AC Milan any chance.

However, in the 79th minute, the Manchester United defenders made too much defensive action in the penalty area, and were shown a yellow card by the referee, and AC Milan was also awarded a penalty.

Pirlo scored the third goal for AC Milan in one fell swoop, and the score became 4-3, and many Italian media exclaimed, "AC Milan has regained hope!" ”

From 4-1 to 4-3, there seems to be real hope, but AC Milan need to score two more goals to beat Manchester United to reach the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

But miracles are not so easy to create.

Andrea Pirlo's goal was also AC Milan's last glory, and before the end of the game, there was another goal, but it belonged to Manchester United, it was full-back Cristiano Ronaldo, who played a one-two with Scholes, and then kicked the ball from the edge of the penalty area, and the ball flew directly into the net from the top left corner of the goal.

Five to three!

After Cristiano Ronaldo's goal, AC Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti lost hope, and he used up the remaining two substitutions in a row, allowing the substitutes who usually played less to experience the atmosphere of the tournament.

Ferguson also tacitly began to make substitutions.

When the clock entered stoppage time, just one minute later, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game.

In the end, in this Champions League giant matchup that the world is concerned about, Manchester United eliminated AC Milan 5-3 over two legs and advanced to the quarterfinals of the Champions League.

"Win!"

"We beat AC Milan!"

"The top eight!"

"It's finally over!"

At the end of the game, everyone in the United team was excited, hugging each other to celebrate, and some even took the initiative to chat with the AC Milan players and pat them on the back to comfort them.

This is the privilege of the victors.

Manchester United fans who came to Italy with the team also rushed to shout, and their shouts added to the victory and made the atmosphere in the stadium more lively.

This is the San Siro stadium after all.

As the home of AC Milan, Milan fans occupy the vast majority, Manchester United wins, Milan fans can only leave disappointed, the few Manchester United fans shout, can also make the atmosphere slightly better.

Of course, neither the team nor the fans care about this.

Results are everything.

Most importantly, they were the winners and they advanced to the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

Scholes was one of those who were excited to celebrate the victory.

Paul Scholes is a veteran in his thirties who rose to fame with the rise of United's 92 golden generation.

In Manchester United's 92 golden generation, the most famous star is David Beckham, followed by Wales stars Ryan Giggs and the Neville brothers, who are also known as the kings of the left side, Scholes is also somewhat famous, but it feels worse than the first two.

For a long time, Scholes has always given people the feeling that he is a shy old good guy image, he will not take the initiative to fight for anything in the team, just silently in the team, silently obey the command of the coaching staff, silently play the game, whether it is a good performance, or a poor performance, even the media does not mention him much, even now, in the entire Manchester United lineup, Scholes is the one who is easy to ignore.

When you think of players who have performed well, everyone knows that there are Van Nistelrooy, Wayne Rooney, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Gary Neville, Silvestre, O'Shea and others in the back line.

When it comes to players with poor performance, many people can also think of some fringe players such as Saha, Fletchel, Richardson and so on.

As for Scholes......

Some non-Manchester United fans don't even know that Manchester United have such a veteran, and his football seems to be too low-key.

This may have something to do with Scholes' style of play.

Paul Scholes has never been a player who shows off his skills on the field, nor is he the kind of player who can score with powerful volleys from outside the box, he has good abilities but is not absolutely good, preferring to cooperate with his team-mates on the field of play rather than using his skills to break through opposing players.

So Scholes was very inconspicuous.

But one thing is certain, Paul Scholes is an absolute mainstay for Manchester United and the engine of Manchester United's midfield.

This represents the recognition of Manchester United's coaching staff.

Scholes has always wanted to shine, but his style of play has been fixed, and he can only hope that he can perform as well as possible, and deep down, what he wants to see is the overall glory of Manchester United.

Paul Scholes is not the best player, but he is one of the most loyal players for Manchester United.

He was happier than anyone else to see United beat AC Milan to reach the quarter-finals of the Champions League, and he was thrilled to see that he did well in the game, providing two assists despite not scoring a goal.

Scholes was all smiles on his face after the game, hugging everyone he met and bowing with the team to thank the United fans who arrived.

He then walked out of the ring with Ryan Giggs and into the mixed zone.

Scholes is not a player who is the focus of the media, often in the mixed zone, the media will chase C-Ronaldo, Rooney and others, especially the English media, who are more interested in Rooney, because Rooney is the current and future pillar of the England team.

Scholes?

An ordinary player who is about to pass his temper!

But today is a little different, Scholes is much better than Rooney, Rooney has no goal contribution, Scholes has two assists, so the media is also interested in Scholes, and what interests them even more is that Scholes returned from injury early and became the hole card player for Manchester United to win the second round.

Scholes was stopped.

The media reporter ignored Ryan Giggs next to him, and just surrounded Scholes and asked, "There were two assists in the game, how are you feeling now?" ”

"How long has it been since you've recovered from your leg injury?"

'It looks like you're in good shape since you've come back from injury, are United deliberately covering up your recovery?'

"What do you think of the quarter-finals of the Champions League?"

“……”

Scholes was in a good mood as he ignored the reporters' questions and said, "I'm very happy to see Manchester United progress to the quarter-finals, it's the result of a concerted effort by the whole team. A lot of people say that Manchester United will not have any prospects in the Champions League this season, but in my opinion we are still strong contenders for the Champions League title and we will work hard for it! ”

Scholes then spoke about his leg injury, "I did have a serious injury, but I've recovered early. Here I would like to thank Coach Shen from Huaxia, his rehabilitation training is very effective, the doctor said that it would take another half a month to recover, but it only took five days for me to recover. ”

This sentence caused an uproar among the surrounding reporters.

The doctor said that the injury would take half a month to recover, and under what kind of training, it would take five days to recover?

That's too fake, isn't it?

The reporters didn't believe it at all, but Scholes wasn't joking, he continued: "I recovered the day before yesterday, the doctor said I was able to play, I'm happy to start, as for the win, that's the whole team, I hope Manchester United can go further in the Champions League, preferably to win the title!" Our goal in the Champions League is to win the title as well! ”

Scholes' words were imposing and will certainly have Manchester United fans looking forward to it.

But the goal is the championship and the like, media reporters have long been tired of hearing it, these are not in the ranks of their hot reports, they can only be released as narrative news, and they can't attract the attention of fans at all.

They would have preferred to ask about Scholes' recovery from a leg injury, but unfortunately Scholes left after speaking, and he did not have Beckham's patience to answer every reporter's question.

He didn't need to do that.

After returning to the dressing room and celebrating with his team-mates, manager Alex Ferguson returned from the press conference and could tell he was in a very good mood when he saw the smile on his face.

And so it is.

It's not just about winning the game, the main United beat AC Milan, arguably their 'old rivals', and the two teams have always been in direct rivalry.

Although it is a team in two leagues, Manchester United has always been regarded as the 'hegemon' of the Premier League, and AC Milan is the number one giant in Serie A, they are much better than Juventus, Inter Milan, Roma and other teams, although they are not the 'Serie A hegemon', they are also the best team in the history of Serie A.

Both teams are the traditional favourites to win the Champions League.

In the past two seasons, Manchester United's 'hot' level has decreased, but AC Milan is aggressive, and they are the most favored team.

But what now?

AC Milan were eliminated by Manchester United!

That alone made Ferguson extremely satisfied, and he even forgot about the pressure from the club's takeover, thinking that if he could lead Manchester United to another Champions League title, all Manchester United fans would remember him, and it would be perfect to retire in the summer.

————

That evening, the entire United squad flew back to Manchester.

The game seems to be over, but football is more than just the game, it's often more exciting after the game.

The match between Manchester United and AC Milan was the absolute focus.

The first and second meetings between the two sides have attracted attention from all over the world, but due to the score of the first round, Manchester United's defeat of AC Milan was not unexpected, and the hottest topic after the game became the Yangyang Sports Center, even the British media, Scholes's words were like a fire in a fuel barrel, so that the fire spread instantly, even to the extent of bursting.

Almost all the media talked about the Yangyang Sports Center that night......
