Before going to Spain, Jiang Qi originally had the attitude of not losing and winning.

You must know that after playing this Champions League group stage away to Celta, AC Milan is about to usher in a slightly more difficult quasi-devil's schedule.

The first stop on the return to the Apennines from Iberia was Sampdoria, a team that was only mid-table but had two strikers in the squad that forced the rookie coach to work hard to cope. Fraki and Bazzani, two non-mainstream goalscorers, are often able to score some unbelievable goals, which are difficult to guard against.

After the battle with the Mariners, they will rush back to Milan to face the same opponent at the San Siro as Celta Vigo a week ago.

Unlike away to Spain, another home game against the Galicians would require three points to cement AC Milan's advantage in the group stage, ideally with two rounds to secure top spot in the group.

On the weekend after the back-to-back Champions League matches, Jiang Qi will usher in his real big test in Serie A, sitting at the San Siro and waiting for the arrival of the Silver Fox Lippi and his "Bianconeri" at the helm!

Unlike Zaccheroni, Lippi is a real super-class coach in the Apennines, and only by beating the "Silver Fox" and beating Juventus can Jiang Qi really qualify for the Serie A title.

It can be said that if you want to succeed on this green field, step from a rookie coach to the threshold of a world famous coach, become a coach who is truly in line with the identity of AC Milan team, or even fully master this team and become a successful football manager, Lippi and Capello are the two thresholds that Jiang Qi must cross.

Despite occupying the advantage of the home field, in front of the scheming Lippi, the rookie coach really does not have much confidence.

What's more, he knows very well that the original trajectory of this season in that time and space was that Ancelotti won the victory in the clash with Lippi to be crowned the league champion in one fell swoop!

If he wants to win the 17th championship trophy in Milan's history according to the original trajectory of history, he must also do everything that Carlo Ancelotti did at the beginning!

Immediately afterwards, this "quasi-devil schedule" is still not over, and two consecutive away battles are waiting for Jiang Qi -

Away to Parma!

The current Parma team is not a relegation team in a few years, and the youth storm they have created this season has made all Serie A teams look sideways.

See who are in Parma's squad?

Frei, 23, Cannavaro Jr., 24, Ferrari, 23, Bresciano, 23, Blasi, 23, Marchioni, 21, and Adriano 21!

With these energetic young players and Parma's underrated midfield of Mofeo, the team's fighting spirit is not to be underestimated.

And let's not forget that Parma is now in the manager's position with Prandelli, a coach known for his ability to play small clubs, and he was able to put together a squad that he saw in 2012 when he brought an Italian team whose players were mostly second-rate to the final of the European Championship.

Therefore, in Jiang Qi's schedule, the matches against Parma and Inter Milan, Lazio, Juventus, and Roma all have a striking circle with a red pen.

After the away game at Parma, the rookie head coach and his AC Milan need to travel to Verona to face another team that often plays the role of "giant killer" - Chievo, known as "The Flying Donkey".

Del Neri is also a coach who is good at creating miracles, and although Chievo has not been in good form this season, his regular outbursts of fighting power are enough for those big teams to have a headache.

With five games in a row, three away from home, and the need to face strong opponents like Juventus and Parma, the pressure on the rookie coach can be imagined, so the rotation of players in Spain has become the tone set early on.

Moreover, Jiang Qi considered that Milan has been in the limelight too much recently, and some people have not been praised as the public enemy of the league and will not give up, and a proper draw or even a small loss is acceptable. You must know that if a team is in such a good state, not only will the opponent see it as a thorn in the side, but even the team is easy to breed some messy thoughts, impetuousness, complacency or worry...... These will accumulate little by little with the gradual accumulation of consecutive wins, and finally form a mountain on the team's head that may collapse at any time!

Therefore, Jiang Qi has what kind of reverence, and even worship, for the AC Milan team that once created a 58-game unbeaten record, and even worship, can be imagined.

This is the pinnacle that can only be truly set foot on after taking self-regulation to the extreme!

It's like teaching Arsene Wenger the legend he has created in the Premier League this season.

You know, the Arsenal team that got Seedorf really had a wonderful chemistry, this team that originally focused on possession of the ball actually went to the next level after the Dutchman joined, not only the control of the ball reached a terrifying state, but even the control of the pace of the game was more comfortable.

And Wright Phillips, who spent a lot of money on the professor to get from Manchester City, is like a fish swimming into the sea, releasing infinite vitality with joy.

Thus, history has come to a fork in the road. Arsenal dominate the Premier League this season, and their terrifying record of eight consecutive wins in the opening game has left other teams in the dust!

Especially in the six rounds, 7 and 8 rounds, they won Manchester United, Newcastle and Liverpool three strong opponents one after another, only to be forced to a 0:0 draw by the tinker's Blues in the ninth round......

Jiang Qi can even foresee that this year's Champions League will definitely not be the same as in the original time and space, and finally be proudly defeated by the two dark horses Porto and Monaco to Schalke, and the trajectory of many teams has deviated from history to an unpredictable future.

(Onlookers: Hey, hey!) You're far away! The results of the expedition to Spain have not been explained for a long time! ）

(ahem...... ）

The focus turns back to Milan's Champions League journey.

Jiang Qi's ambition to slow down the pace and avoid the limelight and take out to relieve pressure still did not come true in the end, because two of the starting 11 people who were sent to the court broke out without warning!

The first is Abbiati, who stands in front of the door in place of Dida.

Celta, who is playing at home in this game, is not without a chance to win, he is 35 years old, and the old Russian Tsar Mostovoy, who was once known as Celta's double star with Karpin, passed three deadly balls throughout the game!

In the 13th minute of the first half, after Mostovoy attracted three AC Milan defenders on the left side of the penalty area, he stealthily crossed the middle from the gap, but Juan Forlan, who was following up, pushed a shot and was saved by Abbiati.

Two minutes later, Celta Vigo came back and on the counter-attack Mostovoy calmly picked over Mex's head to create a one-on-one chance for striker Gesuli, but it was saved by the onrushing Abbiati.

In the 61st minute of the second half, the Russian Tsar crossed from the right, the ball landed excellently, and the header of substitute Milosevic was also blocked by Abbiati like Banks!

Three world-class saves allowed Abbiati to receive overwhelming praise after the game, compared to Dida who was picked up by Inzaghi Jr. in the last game, and there have even been media calls for Abbiati to be corrected is the key to ensuring the safety of Milan's defense.

If on the defensive end, AC Milan relied on Abbiati to keep the goal and retreat from the Valedos Stadium, then on the offensive end it was completely Robin van Persie's personal performance......
