Mourinho saw very clearly that Fabregas, as the point of instigation of the attack, is more about finding a passing route in the overall movement of the opponent's defensive system, and needs to be paired with one or two excellent attackers to completely open the hole. The Gunners' first goal was played by Thierry Henry, and although the Frenchman was able to do this well, the corresponding attacking endpoints would be reduced, Pire was injured, Seedorf's attack in depth was a real weakness compared to other skills, and Wright Phillips ...... Although he has a lot of potential, he is still too young.

Kaka's change of pace was more of a by-product of his split-second breakaways, with the Brazilian omitting what Cesc Fabregas needed to do and looking for an opportunity to disrupt the opposition's entire defensive system with the breakaway. Van der Vaart is a multi-position swingman at Kaka's side, whether it's a wide attack, a goalscorer, or a mid-line and lethal pass, Gattuso's running ability allows him to be a transition point and a connecting point, and the occasional shot can also surprise people, while Pirlo is perfectly capable of being the master of the secondary distribution of the ball.

In this comparison, it is obvious that Arsenal's staffing is somewhat single, unlike AC Milan's bench with different types of players with different characteristics such as Ljungberg, Van Persie, and Rui Costa.

Because of the huge investment in the new stadium, Mr. Professor has developed a small business style, and the French are known for their discerning skills, but whenever Arsenal submits an offer, both the club and the competitor will make a stir and increase the price with a smile...... It's a bit difficult to get Jiang Qi's eclectic lineup.

However, it is true that no manager of any club has dared to buy so many players who seem to have obvious shortcomings, Van der Vaart's injury, Van Persie's temper, and Toney seem to rely too much on the passing of his teammates...... The real ones are Lahm and Drogba, two players who have not proven themselves in Europe's top leagues, and many managers have shouted "this guy is good luck" behind their backs.

Surprisingly, the goal of flipping the scales was not the result of a change of pace, but a tactical combination of set-pieces.

Didier Drogba's long-range effort allowed Lehmann to make a fine save and also won a corner for AC Milan.

Pirlo took a tactical corner, and after Van der Vaart's excess, he quickly kicked a slightly arcing and very flat cross, and Sheva snatched it from the crowd, showing super explosiveness and good physical fitness, and pushed the ball into the near corner with a rub in front of him, and the whole process was completed in the blink of an eye, which was incredibly fast!

"The Ukrainians are in great shape today...... "Wenger and his assistant Pat Rice said this sentence in a very gloomy tone, everyone understands how terrible it can be to have a superhuman striker in a game, but unfortunately Arsenal met such a Shevchenko today.

"Going back to the dressing room with a 2-1 score is a bad result, it means that Arsenal need to score two goals in the second half to advance, it will be a tough challenge, you must know that AC Milan have rarely conceded three goals in games this season, the last one to reach this standard was Bayern Munich, you know that Bayern had a top Mackay at that time!" This is Andy Gray's half-time commentary, which is contrasted with Wenger's frowning face passing by the camera.

Such a big game did confirm Wenger's inference that as long as a striker showed exceptional competitive form, he would undoubtedly dominate the game.

The master of this game is Shevchenko, the Ukrainian once again penetrated the goal guarded by Lehmann in the second half, although it was Kaka who instigated the attack, but Kaka's cross after the breakthrough was a little excessive, Sheva's simple turn and barb made Brazil Zhengtai's pass upgrade into a perfect assist, and Jiang Qi and the coaching staff on the sidelines couldn't help but raise their arms and shout!

3:1！ In the end, AC Milan successfully repelled the Gunners' counterattack at the San Siro and got the ticket to Schalke as they wished!

"A good opponent is like a mirror that can see our shortcomings." Arsene Wenger's opening remarks in the post-match interview were meaningful: "Our shortcomings have undoubtedly been found by the Milanese and magnified infinitely, but the opponents can hide them. I think Jiang is a very good young player in the Premier League, he has done a very good job in Milan this season, from selecting players to polishing the tactical system, and I am optimistic that they will win the Champions League trophy this season, maybe such an excellent result will make him choose to take on a new challenge. ”

These words were really full of connotation, Jiang Qi was a little stunned when he listened to it, and he didn't understand what Mr. Professor wanted to say for a while.

Is it to complain to Arsenal's board about the underinvestment, or to suggest that it is unscientific for an Italian team like AC Milan to give too much authority to the manager, or is it ......

However, the reporters below don't give rookie coaches time to think, and Wenger's words obviously give them a lot of room for reverie.

"Mr. Jiang, may I ask if the players brought in by AC Milan in the summer transfer are really your own decision, as Mr. Wenger said?"

"I couldn't have done so much alone, without the club's discerning scouting network, without the patient and meticulous follow-up of the club's staff, without Mr. Galliani, Mr. Braida and other seniors discussing with me and helping me, we would not have the wonderful team that you see today."

"May I ask Mr. Jiang, what do you think of the other Champions League semi-final, who will be your opponent in Schalke?"

'Porto's defensive system is going to be maddening, and I said at the start of the season in the UEFA Super Cup that Porto are a team that people will remember it.

"Mr. Jiang, you are really interested in going to the Premier League next season to take on a new challenge, as Mr Wenger said."

"I really don't have that intention right now......"

……

There is no doubt that AC Milan have become the quasi-champions in the eyes of everyone in Europe after knocking out Arsenal, as for Porto...... No one really thought that this team, who had gone all the way from Portugal to Schalke, would finally win the cup, but in the conference room with the door closed in Milanello, Jiang Qi took all the coaches and players of AC Milan very seriously and told them that Porto is the toughest opponent in Europe this season......
