284. The Forgotten Corner
If the score of 1:3 is an away scoreline, there may be many supporters of the team who will be confident in the second leg.
But the problem is that the score of 1:3 is a home score, and the opponent has such a heavy advantage as three away goals, not to mention, all the bookmakers have lowered the odds of AC Milan to win the championship.
It will be too difficult to turn the tables at the Bernabeu Stadium, and the opponent is Mourinho.
It is said that the person who knows you best must be your enemy, and in the words that the Catalans often mock Real Madrid -
"Real Madrid is an ugly football piled up with money!"
This statement is of course seriously emotionally biased, but it also reflects the impact that Mourinho has brought to the galaxy, the formidable defensive system.
Last season, with Valencia's counterattack and the rise of old rivals Barcelona, Florentino actually foresaw that the offensive line he built with gold dollars was no longer the sharpest weapon in La Liga. Barcelona have the blades of Roetto Ojavi Jr., and the Bats have the wings they are proud of, and it is no longer realistic to defend the throne by attacking alone.
More important is AC Milan's Champions League title defense and Mourinho's Porto miracle, there is no doubt that before these two teams come together to go to Schalke Stadium, they will rely on a solid defense that they rely on the most, Porto can survive the bombardment of the Red Devils, Milan can retreat from Highbury, without a tough and solid defensive system, this is simply not possible.
There are also the Portuguese in the European Cup, if the Brazilian team led by Scolari in 2002, Ronaldo with the head of the tile, Rivaldo with the face of the brick knife and Ronaldinho with rabbit teeth are radiant and will cover up the double back system carefully constructed by the Brazilians, then Portugal in 2004, the back line led by Carvalho and the back group of Thiago, Costinha and Maniche are undoubtedly the key to supporting the Portuguese offensive line. And the final opponent Otto the Great carefully polished the defensive system without star temperament, which made people re-understand the word "system".
The defensive system, which was first familiar to the majority of fans since the transformation of AC Milan by the famous coach Sacchi, has modified the traditional Italian defensive model and laid the most solid foundation for the later two Milan dynasties.
From the Dutch Three Musketeers to Capello's 58-game unbeaten streak, the "system" is a thing that has been passed down in one line, if Milan created a legend of defending the title in the Champions League, Lao Jiang stood on Ancelotti's shoulders to get this halo, then below Ancelotti still stands Sacchi.
And Galeries Lafayette also made another adjustment to the club before deciding to make Mourinho the coach of the team, that is, to invite Sacchi as the sporting director of Real Madrid! This is obviously a signal of a change in his business thinking, and even without the butterfly effect of Jiang Qi's arrival, Capello, who left Juventus, will be re-admitted to the Bernabeu due to the phonegate incident soon after, and then restructure the defensive system of the Galaxy.
However, Mourinho now seems to be on the verge of success.
At least in the eyes of the outside media, Uncle Bird's team has one foot in the threshold of Istanbul, although most media outlets will end their stories with the phrase, "Winner? They're in luck! ”
But it seems that the end is already predestined......
In a sigh, Jiang Qi once again chose to close Milanello, and at the same time used one Akalinka after another.
As a result, Milanello has become a forgotten corner, and the outside media have turned to hyping up the Champions League version of the Spanish derby that is likely to take place in Istanbul this year, because in the other semi-final, Barcelona drew 1-1 away to the Blues Chelsea, and after returning to the Camp Nou, the media could not help but tilt the balance of victory in Barcelona's side.
Therefore, the expectations and mouths of the Spanish media began to appear in the newspapers and various media, thinking of the final of Old Trafford, Juventus and AC Milan in 2003, at least the Italian media was particularly high-spirited in that year, and now Spain has also ushered in this opportunity.
Milan entered the weekend in silence against young Guards Parma.
After Inter Milan reclaimed Adriano, Parma's attacking power was greatly reduced, and it was a bit difficult to rely on Gilardino alone, but Gilardino delivered a stunning answer, and after Ibrahimovic lost his terrifying goalscoring efficiency in the middle of the season, the Italian's steady rise has slowly climbed to second place in the scorers' charts.
And in this league, in the face of the scandalous new club AC Milan, Gilardino is not soft at all, of course, this has something to do with Jiang Qi and another young defensive line, in the competition with Chiellini, Gilardino scored twice, showing excellent awareness and physical fitness that is not strong but has strong confrontation ability.
However, Parma's defence was unable to resist the onslaught of Toney, and the goalscorer, who had won the European Golden Boot in his prime, scored a hat-trick to help Milan narrow home to a home victory.
People who have watched this game feel that Jiang Qi has a third-tier lineup, and it is a bit risky to hide most of the main players and even rotate the lineup to fight away, after all, the home score of 1:3 is too difficult, and it is better to maintain the advantage in the standings in the closing stage of the league.
Fortunately, with Akalinka, the game was like a small wave in the sea, and there were not many ripples at all.
The Bernabeu was buzzing at night, with Real Madrid's home stadium, which is nearly 10,000 more than the San Siro, flooding more fans, waving more flags and singing louder......
This time, Geddes did not go to the Bernabeu, and there were only a number of high-level Real Madrid executives in the box, such as Florentino, Putragno, Sacchi, etc.
Galeries Lafayette looked relaxed, with a glass of red wine in his hand.
Jose Mourinho didn't disappoint him either, as Real Madrid fielded a 4-4-2 line-up and it was a star-studded one.
There were no changes at the back, with Carvalho and Elguera still standing in front of Casillas, Carlos on the left and Ferreira on the right. In the midfield, Senna's single back configuration, Cambiaso, who reported the injury before the game, sat on the bench, and the left and right sides were still the king Figo on the left, Beckham, who scored two stunning free kicks in the last game, was on the right, and the forward midfielder was Zizu Zidane. The Lord of the Rings Raul partners with the alien Ronaldo, and this is a true aura lineup.
In fact, Mourinho is also cleaning up such a lineup, on the one hand, the advantage is not small, in front of the home fans and his own boss, Uncle Bird also knows how to make a victory more brilliant, on the other hand, Deco is suspended because of the accumulation of yellow cards, Cambiaso is injured, this game he is in control, Zidane will grasp better.
