Alonso pinpointed Mutu on the left side of the pitch with a long diagonal pass, and the Romanian was about to pick up speed, only to find that the young Portuguese player was stuck in his path, and Cafu's old Brazilian man also set up a second layer of protective net on the other side, completely blocking his path. In desperation, Mutu had no choice but to dribble the ball horizontally, and at the same time scan his surroundings with his residual vision, vaguely saw a blue figure speeding up, and hurriedly turned his body sideways to block Moutinho's sight, and also accelerated the frequency of the ball under his feet, and then silently counted "one, two, three......" in his heart, and then the left heel was very hidden!

From covering to making the ball, Mutu did it perfectly, almost fitting the Romanian's mental count, and the sound of heavier and heavier footsteps sounded behind him, and the pass matched the running height, like a textbook, but the magic lamp plugged in the back row met the same textbook defender, Ivan Gattuso.

When Lampard suddenly stepped forward into Milan's 30-metre zone, Gattuso had already noticed it, and pasted it up from the side, almost pinching the Englishman as he was about to receive the ball and slow down slightly, and his timing of the defence can only be described as precise.

Lampard had to completely switch from fourth gear to first gear, taking the ball to seek the surrounding contact points, but suddenly found that the surrounding teammates were surrounded by Milan players or divided or stalked, and Lucio, who was sandwiched with Gattuso, also came over, so he had to turn his back to bring the ball to his own half, but the Milan players quickly pressed forward from the area, and Chelsea returned to the central and backfield organization, and was cut off by the Milan players when they were plugged forward again, and the attack and defense changed hands.

AC Milan's attack was also left to Moutinho first, but Claude Makelele and Frank Lampard were equally good at interception, and the Portuguese had no less difficulty in evading the barrier and making effective passes.

The midfield of the two teams is like two images inside and outside the mirror, from the rhythm control to the situation of being cut off from the attack, the similarity is very high, although Chelsea does not have a controllable and passable hub like Van der Vaart in the front field like AC Milan, but Lampard's ability to insert back was fully developed by Ancelotti, like a fist that knows how to retract, coupled with Mutu's weird running position throughout the midfield, which also makes Milan players jealous, not to mention that Crespo and Shevchenko have the ability to retreat and receive the ball. It made up for the weakness and roughness of the Blues midfield.

That continued until half-time, with AC Milan narrowly ahead at 5:3, but a look back at the broadcasters showed that only eight shots came from set-pieces and long-range shots......

"This year's Chelsea are more difficult than last season's Arsenal because they have no obvious weaknesses in their squad, and now we can put the balance on the balance and the weight of victory is going to make a fuss on the wings......", Jiang Qi has a very clear goal, both sides were cautious in the first half, the full-backs inserted few assists, Lahm and Evra are both rookie wingers, but they met very few times in the first 45 minutes, Glenn Johnson is still very young, but Cafu is also a little afraid of the speed of this English boy, So the two sides were at peace.

At the start of the second half, the crowd in the Rose Bowl found that AC Milan did not make the same extensive changes as in the previous two games, but only replaced the veteran Cafu with Ramos, while Chelsea simply continued to use the same line-up as in the first half, and it was clear that Carlo Ancelotti was very happy with the starting eleven this time.

With a close rival and a risk to win, Jiang Qi is now betting on his two young full-backs, especially for Sergio Ramos, who is more of a test for him.

However, the rookie coach soon discovered that among the tests he deliberately set, it was Moutinho who was the first to hand over a satisfactory answer!

Maybe the Portuguese sometimes chose the timing of the attack unreasonably, but he was decisive enough, and he had already imagined in advance where it would be more dangerous after the attack was blocked, and used the defensive skills of running, blocking, and intercepting to delay the opponent's attack. A player's talent is important, but will is even more important, and to have a resolute heart and a sense of reason all the time, such a player will never be hindered by some inherent shortcomings in talent.

Just like the German team in the 90s of the last century, the German chariot at that time was definitely not the most talented, the talented players were like leeks and cut stubble after stubble, and the midfield hoarded with delicate and dizzying France, and even the two Latin teams on the Iberian Peninsula also have a lot of enviable players, and the German team can still become a super-first-class team in European football, which is most praised for its iron will.

The football field is often compared to the battlefield, and the players are warriors, which refers not only to the competition at the competitive level, but also to the competition on the mental level. The famous coach Shankly's famous quote has been quoted countless times because he expresses the extraordinary beauty of this green field: "Football has nothing to do with life and death, football is higher than life and death!" This sentence gives a completely new interpretation to almost all the words related to the sport of football.

Just ten minutes into the second half, the score had already changed three times......

Ramos inserted a pass and was pushed out by Stam, Alonso's long pass to Glenn Johnson, England's player stopped the ball too much and was cut off by Gattuso, who was in the position, to Moutinho to reorganize, and the Portuguese used a long pass that almost cloned Alonso just used to re-find the Spanish fullback, this time Ramos decisively relied on his strong body to wipe Makelele and then pass back to the top of the arc, Van der Vaart even had time to aim at the far corner of the goal, the result was self-evident, the curve ball was broken, and Frei had no choice.

The minute hand of the Rose Bowl electronic clock had just turned twice, Moutinho suddenly chose to dribble forward, and after dribbling past Mutu and Lampard in succession, he stuffed a veritable scalpel-like pass, which not only quickly crossed the gap between Makelle and Stam but only half a meter, but also bent a strange arc from Terry's side, Inzaghi's fox-like running position complemented it, stopping the ball and pushing, 2:0!

But six minutes later, Moutinho picked up the ball over the top and was pushed out by Terry, Alonso's long pass crossed most of the field to Mutu's feet in the blink of an eye, the Romanian took the ball in the ribs to attract the defender and knocked back the triangle, Lampard once again thundered like a heavy cannon, Cech's fingertips rubbed the ball, but could not stop it from whistling by, 2:1!

In this attack, Moutinho has mobilized his teammates to press forward as a whole, and then saw Inzaghi run out of the opportunity to suddenly pick up the pass over the top, but it is a pity that Alonso grasped the weakness of Milan's formation in just a few seconds of attacking and defending transitions, and the empty space in front of the big penalty line was his ultimate goal, and Lampard's decisiveness and acumen made this attack as he wished.

Three choices changed the situation on the field, and the last one made Moutinho a little frustrated, but when he heard someone on the sidelines shouting "Joao" and turned his head to look, whether it was Jiang Qi, Chascini or Tasotti and others lined up to applaud him......

'Maybe in three years, or less, Milan will have two Andre ......,' said Carlo Ancelotti and the Blues coaching staff around him.

It seems that the two managers have a tacit understanding, and after this thrilling ten minutes, they frequently changed players at the same time, Joe Cole, Duff and many Premier League stars appeared, and Milan also changed almost the entire lineup, only Ramos, who played in the second half, remained, and the game became more and more open, and the two teams attacked back and forth, but unfortunately the score was finally fixed at 2:1.

The match between Real Madrid and the Los Angeles Galaxy marked the end of the invitational tournament, not surprisingly, the Galaxy defeated the host 3:0, and finally won the Los Angeles Invitational with a record of two wins and one draw, Jiang Qi's Milan ranked second with two wins and one loss, the Blues Chelsea only won one game and ranked third, and the Los Angeles Galaxy was at the bottom of the three games, but the good attendance of the Rose Bowl and football, a sport that is slightly new to the United States, brought the eyeball effect to the city of Los Angeles, It's enough for the boss of the LA Galaxy to keep his mouth shut.
