Moscow's Luzhniki Stadium, which is the only football stadium in Russia that has reached the five-star UEFA certification, Gazaev stood on the sidelines with a calm face, and CSKA at home can be described as a combination of time, place, and people, how can this meritorious coach not be full of ambition.

On the one hand, the AC Milan players put on tight warm clothes, but they still couldn't help shivering, all because just the day before, a cold air had just visited Moscow, and the temperature dropped sharply by four or five degrees, but it was even more uncomfortable for the Milan team that came from afar.

Artificial turf is undoubtedly the geographical advantage in the eyes of Gazaev, and CSKA is all neat and tidy, and the absence of wounded is human.

For AC Milan, the defending champion of the Champions League, Gazaev has also observed for a long time, compared with the Gunners Arsenal who were eliminated in the last round with a difficult upset, the attack of Milan is undoubtedly more diverse and vibrant. Arsenal's most threatening attack comes from their wingers on both wings, but CSKA itself has no shortage of impactful and penetrating wingers, so naturally they have some experience in how to limit Robben and Wright Jr., but this move is not good for AC Milan, and after thinking about it for a long time, Gazaev decided to stabilize the midfield.

Almost as Gazaev pondered how to conquer the Milan bunker, Jiang Qi and the coaching staff also got the starting roster for CSKA Moscow.

The goalkeeper is now a rising star who is now famous in Europe, Akinfeev, at this time, I am afraid that many quotations have been put on the desk of the general manager of CSKA, but because of the restrictions on non-European places and the economic situation of CSKA is not bad, these quotations are mainly used to explore the way.

The back three remained the same, with Ignashevic, Nemanja Vidic and Russian international Berezudski continuing the same setup they had against Arsenal in the previous round.

The midfielders are heavily stockpiled. Jarosik and Ardonin are the two main interceptors, of which Yarosik's ability to score goals is quite good, and Aldonin is good at breaking the ball and quickly attacking the ball. Zhirkov is on the left, Krasic is on the right, these two players have outstanding ability at their feet, and Jinkla, although he has some tendons, is full of impact and should not be underestimated. In midfield is Brazilian Carvalho, who is the most dangerous player in CSKA's squad, good at counter-attacking passing, fast and delicate with Brazilian technique at his feet, and in front of Carvalho is his compatriot Wagner, but Wagner is more of a shadow striker, but with more freedom and a wider range of movement, often swapping with Carvalho.

The lone striker from Gazaev is also a player that Jiang Qi is familiar with, Croatian Olich. The 25-year-old, who is still playing in the Russian Premier League, is synonymous with Croatianness, and Olic has considerable attacking ability both head and foot, and is a dangerous killer without a flashy coat.

Jiang Qi also stood on the sidelines, but around him was a pair of AC Milan starters today: Luka Toney and Didier Drogba.

"The most crucial thing about CSKA's 3-6-1 formation is actually the two players who are behind in the middle of the opposition." Jiang Qi pointed to Ardonning and Yarosik, "CSKA's back line relies on these two people to support the defensive level, and these two midfielders are still the starting point for them to switch from defense to attack, what you need to do is to contain these two people as much as possible, remember, our attack in this game is dominated by the two of you." ”

Gazzaev's six-man midfielders seem to have their own roles and become a whole, but as long as you look at CSKA's tactical line, the position of Yarosik and Ardonin is very crucial, and if you can rely on the impact of Milan's two strong center forwards to force these two players to retreat, it will be the first step in destroying Gazzaev's tactical system, and once the dominance of the stadium slides out of the track that CSKA is familiar with, then the advantage of the Russian team will not be so obvious.

Therefore, when adjusting the starting list of AC Milan, Jiang Qi also moved a thought, in addition to the two strong center forwards Toney and Drogba played together, the two wings of the midfield have also changed, Van der Vaart mainly played on the right, let Ljungberg focus on the left, the Swede's strong body and abundant physical strength and explosiveness are the best candidates against Krasic.

If it was last season, this change of side might have caused the two to have a temporary discomfort, but since the introduction of the new method of drawing training in the summer, the Milan players have greatly improved their familiarity with different positions, according to FM, they have advanced to the "easy" stage......

In the middle is a combination of Gattuso and Moutinho, Gattuso is used to limit Carvalho, Moutinho controls the tempo of the whole team, Jiang Qi considered that accelerating on artificial turf would put a heavier burden on the knees of a player like Kaka, so this game put the Brazilian teenager on the bench.

At the back, Eastern European player Oujfarusi occupies a place in central defence, and his partner is the teenager Mex, and the Frenchman has become much more stable under the supervision of legendary defenders such as Baresi, Costacuta and Maldini, and his physical condition is better suited to play in the cold of Russia. Antonini at left wing-back, Jiang Qi mainly thinks about not losing when playing against Krasic, and at right full-back is Ramos, the most attendee player this season.

The goalkeeper is undoubtedly the Czech Cech.

According to CSKA's speculation, with Arsenal's experience and just the right cold snap, AC Milan's purpose will largely be to defend and counterattack, but after the two sides are in close proximity, the CSKA players suddenly discovered that this group of Milanese actually played anti-guest-oriented.

Relying on the two central strikers of Toney and Drogba, AC Milan played more concisely, often suddenly hitting the front of CSKA with a long pass, a strategy, a frontal impact, but the confident home team was caught off guard.

Maldini watched the opening game with satisfaction from the sidelines, "We didn't do so much preparation in vain, mitigating the impact of the weather and the venue, we had to get into the groove earlier than the opponent. ”

The Milan coaching staff looked at each other and smiled.

On the CSKA side, Ignashevic was the busiest man on the field, screaming and directing his teammates to constantly adjust his defensive system, but still feeling a lot of pressure......

At this moment, the home team also knew that AC Milan's high-pressure attack would not last long, but in the 11th minute of the game, it was still the opponent's goal.
