The first leg of the knockout match between AC Milan and Manchester United is over, the score is close, and the whole process is like a rollercoaster ride, but the outside media comments are unanimously optimistic about AC Milan playing away. Even if all three goals were accidental, each Milan goal could have been indirectly influenced by the possibility of dominance forming a succession of attacks or a sudden change in tempo that caused a brief disarray in United's defensive system.

In comparison, although Manchester United's two goals are groundbreaking, and they are so amazing that they have a chance to be selected into the top 10 of this season's Champions League, they are really Ronaldo's outstanding personal performance.

Being able to beat Manchester United away also made AC Milan climb to second place in the Champions League odds list, and the top of the list is Barcelona, the first round of the knockout round Barcelona was "guaranteed" as the focus of UEFA to finally break through the group stage again this season Dynamo Kiev, Ukraine, which made the Ukrainians feel the "spring cold" after just enjoying the long-lost spring warmth, and lost to Barcelona 1:4 at home, among which Xiao Luo's magician-like performance is even more amazing, Uncle Pele even raised his arms and shouted: "Ronaldinho has become a legend!" ”

The third-place team in the odds table came as a bit of a surprise, with Abou's Chelsea gaining more favour from bookmakers as the Blues beat Deportivo La Coruna 3-1 at home to almost have one foot in the last eight.

What these three teams have in common with their odds lead for the time being is that their chances of qualification are clear, with Barcelona winning away from home, AC Milan holding three away goals and having the overall advantage, and Chelsea having a clear edge at home despite being a host at the Stadio Riazor in the next leg.

And the rest of the pairings are not so clear-

The Gunners, who were unanimously favored by the media to advance comfortably, fell in the freezing snow and ice of Moscow, and after losing 1-0 away to CSKA, they could only hope for the next leg at home.

Inter Milan also struggled to cope with the crazy Bremen at home, and the score of 1:2 still retained some advantages.

Real Madrid and Bayern Munich's old friends ended in a 2-2 draw, with Morientes and Mackay both showing their true qualities as good strikers, scoring two goals each.

Juventus should have had the advantage against Liverpool, who had obvious flaws in the lineup, but Benitez's set-up allowed Capello to send all the attackers in the team and could not score goals, and a 0-0 dull draw allowed the camera to capture a dozing old man in the stands.

French upstart Lyon, who performed impressively in the group stage, did not take advantage of Valencia led by tinkers, as evidenced by the 1:1 scoreline.

For Juventus, though, their fixtures are a bit more depressing, with a game between two Champions League first-round knockout rounds and a real away game against AC Milan......

Jiang Qi originally thought that Capello would rotate some players to play in the league, but he didn't think that Juventus would still pull the group of people who played against Liverpool in midweek to fight Milan on the weekend, although Milan rotated players to have a certain advantage in physical fitness, but Capello played very conservatively, the backfield was dense and defensive, and the front court relied on Ibrahimovic to play freely, and finally this league only got a 0:0 game, not only Lao Jiang was depressed, but even the entire Milan coaching staff was depressed together......

"Is this to give up the Champions League?" , Jiang Qi was both helpless and puzzled, "The gap between 6 points and two games, with our team's personnel reserves, I don't understand why he will choose this way for Mao!" ”

Tassotti shook his head, "They can't give up easily on either side, but there are no reliable players to rotate, maybe some people should regret letting go of too many people in the summer." ”

In the summer, Moggi let go of many players due to contract extensions and main position problems, such as Di Vaio and Mikoli on the front line, and Davies, who was in trouble because of his contract...... Now it seems that the dilemma of the lack of rotation players in the midfield was also planted at that time.

It is not clear whether Capello can pass Benitez with such a team that is as tired as he is rushing to the field, but he still has to wrestle with Ferguson at home, but it cannot be changed.

There was no change in the starting list of the Manchester United team that came to San Siro, but when he arrived on the field, Jiang Qi quickly found the adjustment of the old man, and the position of Ronaldo was more free than in the previous game, and the Portuguese with the right winger appeared more in the middle, and his long-range shot and explosive power after one step of acceleration got more room to display, and at the same time became the "arrow" of Manchester United's attack, that is, to use the impact of the Portuguese to create space for other teammates, and Ronaldo himself can become the finisher of the attack through the opportunities that his teammates get…… This tactic is actually very similar to the role that Ronaldo played in Real Madrid later, and the attack can be launched by him and finished by him.

However, in this game, Jiang Qi compressed the opponent's space more ruthlessly, and holding three away goals can make AC Milan play more calmly, so Lao Jiang discharged the midfield barrier of the three backs, in addition to Gattuso and Ambrosini kept sweeping, Moutinho, who was responsible for the transition of attack and defense, also got the opportunity to play, and his pass and Kaka's longitudinal advancement made the lord jealous.

Towards the end of the first half, Kaka received a counter-attacking through ball from Moutinho, which drew the attention of the entire Manchester United back line and cleverly passed the ball from behind, and Villa knew how to seize the moment and take the lead in one fell swoop.

In the 71st minute of the second half, Ronaldo forced a breakthrough and passed back to Scholes, the onion head quickly moved to the right, Gary Neville inserted quite resolutely, with his physical advantage to squeeze away Lahm's cross, the Portuguese showed the explosiveness of the talent, and took the lead in the front point to shake the ball into the near corner, and the score of 1:1 was maintained until the end.

After the game, a reporter asked Lord Fu if he was disappointed with this result, after all, he only lost one goal on aggregate in the two legs, and Lord Fu simply shook his head, "We have gained something more important than scoring goals!" ”

Everyone understands that he is referring to Ronaldo, but in fact, what Ferguson is talking about is not the outbreak of the Portuguese, but the system rebuilt by Manchester United, when the old man brought Ronaldo from Lisbon to Manchester, it was not simply as a replacement for Beckham, Xiaobei supported the Manchester United system is passing, and Ronaldo is not ...... Judging from the subsequent development, Ronaldo is actually more in line with the trend of football trends, and is a player who is the initiator and finisher, so that the rhythm of the team can change with him.

Compared to Beckham, there is no doubt that the Portuguese are more well-rounded, which is why the old man still looks like usual after the loss.
