202. Salute
With the Premier League kicking off early, the preparation period generally a week earlier, and Chelsea's efficient operation with the investment of Abou rubles, the Blues presented to Jiang Qi and the Milan squad have been transformed by Carlo Ancelotti.
Without the joining of the Czech Republic, Cudicini also made Ancelotti unable to feel at ease, the state of the Italian fluctuated, when it was good, it could be prefixed with the word "saint", and when it was bad, it could cosplay the deeds of countless butter hands in the Premier League, what Taibi, what Barthez, what ...... Any manager would be terrified of such a goalkeeper.
As a result, Parma's young goalkeeper Frei came into the sights of Carlo Ancelotti, a Frenchman who was hailed as a promising star for a new generation of goalkeepers along the trail of Buffon, attracting a number of pursuers before being brought to Stamford Bridge by Peter Kenyon.
Tackling the last line of defence, Carlo Ancelotti began to revamp the Blues' midfield. At AC Milan, he deployed Andrea Pirlo in midfield to sort out the team's attacking and defensive rhythm, while at Chelsea he looked at Spaniard Xavi Alonso and got ahead of the competition with the Reds Liverpool, eventually signing the Real Sociedad midfielder.
Next to him are the French veteran Claude Makelle and Lampard Lampard, both of whom are players with outstanding physical strength to cover the whole field, Makelele is even stronger than Gattuso in interception, Lampard's sudden forward can make the team's offensive firepower explode, these three midfielders are free to position, combined into a triangle of attack and defense, in front of the three is the Romanian viper Mutu.
In terms of talent, Mutu is undeniably talented, with his delicate footwork, often surprising choice of ball handling, erratic movement and excellent positional sense, which are all commendable aspects of the Romanian, but once you look at the Romanian as a player as a whole like an aerial shot, you will see what a head-scratching character Mutu is.
His private life can be described as erosive, his personality fits the modifier of unruliness, and even a few months later, he will have a bad record of embarrassing cocaine use due to a positive urine test, which almost ruined the career of the talented player.
Lao Jiang now can't figure out whether Ancelotti can subdue the demon Mutu instead of Mourinho, who originally appeared in the Chelsea coach's position, after all, An Fat is the most outstanding candidate to regulate the relationship between the upper and lower levels in the head coach position, looking at the world football, he can sit firmly in the position of coach for so long under Uncle Pei, a short-tempered and boss-in-command boss, Ancelotti's interpersonal relationship handling ability can be seen.
Looking at it from all angles, Chelsea's four-man midfield combination is perfect on paper, with creativity, control, explosiveness and hardness on par with Milan's midfield configuration, with the only difference being the test and fit, and the Blues are still on the bench with players with outstanding styles such as Duff and Joe Cole to enrich the depth of the squad.
Moreover, Carlo Ancelotti now has the wing-backs he once dreamed of on the wings of a diamond-shaped midfield. Last season, Monaco burst onto the scene in Europe, thanks to Patrice Evra, the French left-back was both offensive and defensive, and was smashed into the team by the bear tycoon with pounds, while on the right side, England star Glen Johnson, who was brought in by Abu's first trade after taking over Chelsea, was valued by Carlo Ancelotti, the Englishman has outstanding speed, although the defense is not solid enough, but just think about Ancelotti's nationality and you will tune him. Glenn Johnson is full of anticipation.
Moreover, the Blues have not only Carlo Ancelotti's favourite two strikers in the front line, Crespo and Shevchenko.
"As you know, the framework of our current Milan team was left by Carlo, so for me, Carlo is like a mentor to me, although we have never been together in the same coaching staff, but in my heart Carlo has an extraordinary position, but now he is at the other end of the halfway." "Whichever team Carlo will take over, it will mean that we have one more strong opponent in the Champions League, and this game is both a preview and a tribute, and I believe that showing a stronger Milan is the best gift for Carlo." ”
This is Jiang Qi's words from the heart, but mixed with a lot of complicated thoughts.
For Mourinho's Real Madrid, he doesn't care about losing, because beating Porto in the Champions League last season is enough for him to maintain a psychological advantage in front of the magic bird, which is an emotion that is difficult to explain, and he believes that Uncle Bird will also have it, so he will be desperate to think about how to beat himself.
As for Ancelotti, who has never played against each other, but has already appreciated the style, Lao Jiang not only maintains respect as a Milan fan, but also knows more, because Ancelotti in his memory has two Champions League trophies and a league championship in his hands, and the finishing touch is to transform Pirlo, build Milan's midfield combination and even let Lippi copy it to the national team, so that this team is deeply branded with his style, which is enough to make the rookie coach can't help but have a trace of jealousy in his heart when facing this famous player.
The more you know, the more cautious you become, and that's just the way it is.
So in this warm-up game, Jiang Qi didn't want to lose, didn't want to do it at all, but looked forward to taking a little psychological advantage in this seemingly insignificant game, well, a little bit is good......
So, AC Milan's appearance list is like this -
Goalkeeper: Cech.
Defenders from right to left, Cafu, Nesta, Lucio and Lahm.
The midfield reverted to the same diamond configuration, playing as the back of the young Moutinho, his right side is Gattuso, on the left is Van der Vaart, and the front is Ljungberg, it should be noted that the Dutch is now not inferior to the Swedes because of the role of the reverse growth card, so this midfield quartet is also hard enough to compete with the Blues.
In the forward line, Toney partners with Inzaghi, and the center-back combination they need to face is Stam and Terry, and Toni does not fall behind in the confrontation, the key is whether Inzaghi can find the opponent's flaws in the light of this lighthouse.
On the Rose Bowl Stadium, Jiang Qi took the initiative to walk up to Ancelotti and say a few words to the senior, An Pang really has a good personality and praises Lao Jiang, but the players at both ends of the middle circle are ready to play proves that this game is not as warm as the two head coaches shaking hands, and the desire to fight is unabashedly written on their faces, and it is about to erupt!
