Ancelotti's response came faster than expected!

Chelsea used up their two remaining substitutions before the start of the second half.

His first substitution was to bring on Icelandic striker Gudjohnsen for Romanian Mutu, who is a favorite of Ancelotti's favourite frontcourt players, and is now increasingly ambiguous in his position on the pitch and unable to give Shevchenko more support, so it is not surprising that he was adjusted by the Icelander.

But the second substitution can give a glimpse of how decisive Ancelotti is in adjusting his tactics this time, and he has replaced a 18-year-old and two-month-old player, Lassana? Diarra, if you only look at this surname, you will not be able to match a certain face for the first time, but just talk about the Frenchman after the transfer to Real Madrid, Eras? Diarra's name is on the number 10 shirt and you will know who he is.

The player, who was scouted from Ligue 2 by Chelsea scouts in the summer of 2004, has now become a gambling wizard for Carlo Ancelotti.

The Frenchman was replaced by Brazilian veteran Rivaldo.

At this point, the Blues once again formed a two-back combination, and not only that, except for the newly launched Lasana? Diarra, Alonso's tackles also became ferocious.

Combined with the Icelander's possession and speed, Carlo Ancelotti's response strategy gave Jiang Qi a sense of déjà vu, with Duff and Patrice Evra no longer focusing on the flanks as they did in the first half, with the Blues' flanks clearly tightening towards the centre, and the number of times they cut inside or simply crossed the midfield sideways began to increase, and more importantly, outside of the deliberate compression of the midfield space. Chelsea's midfield has escalated in terms of scrambling......

Truncate the rhythm of AC Milan. Once the ball is broken, quickly counterattack!

Turn the clock back a few weeks ago. The Milanese used this tactic to reverse Real Madrid in an epic reversal at the Bernabeu.

Now, Chelsea has also used the same tactics on AC Milan, which made Jiang Qi, who was sitting on the bench, involuntarily stunned.

Indeed, with the hand of cards that Carlo Ancelotti is now holding, such an adjustment is likely to be the most effective, and it is impossible for the manager, who has been following Milan all the time, not to think deeply about this set of tactics, Milan have long ballers in the squad, not just Pirlo. Lucio, behind the Italian, could also speak directly to the attack, allowing him to step directly past Chelsea's midfield with the two centre-forwards in front of him, with Carlo Ancelotti playing the cards in front of Hut.

Thus, another diamond was formed between Hut, Alonso, Diarra and Frank Lampard.

It's a structure that Carlo Ancelotti is most familiar with and can give him confidence, and now Master Carlo uses it to put his former team to the test.

This is forcing the opponent to fight hard, from the body to the will of the all-round competition, there is no room for retreat, the midfield is crazy scramble. The strategy of waiting for the opportunity to break the ball and counterattack was a reinforcement of the aura, and the Milan players were able to bring back their tickets to promotion from the Bernabeu. Perseverance is also a key factor.

Competing for strength, skill, decisiveness, and even daring – the same clash is happening in every corner of Altatuk's turf, not just with the player, but also with his teammates running without the ball.

"This is the kind of game that really shows how much you want glory and victory!" , Lord Fergus in the stands was chewing gum with a red face, and next to him was Queiroz, an assistant who returned to Old Trafford after the defeat of Real Madrid, "Watch out for that kid at Chelsea, I want to sign him if possible!" ”

The gentleman's eye is undoubtedly Frenchman Diarra, who has been trying to find a tough midfielder since Keane has aged.

…………

In the stands on the other side, the hawkish uncle Heathfield was admonishing Beckenbauer beside him, "We need to find a suitable partner for Roy, and he is a good fit!" ”

"Roy? Mackay, and, Luca? Tony? The Football Emperor repeated the names of the virtual duo in a self-to-self manner.

…………

"What do you think of that German?" This is Mourinho asking Boas next to him.

"Robert? Hut? ”

"Hmm!"

'Defending well on the front and not being flexible enough at the feet.

"I want to try polishing it!"

…………

At the same time, Rijkaard was not targeting the players on the field, but at Milan's bench.

Of course, it's not just the Black Swan, the coaches, managers, or transfer directors of the European football giants, have their eyes on both sides of the pitch.

Regardless of the final outcome of this game, both teams will see a certain amount of change in the summer.

Chelsea will be dissatisfied with the current squad when they get the runners-up, maybe the manager will be replaced, you must know that any owner who spends a lot of money does not want to throw money out of the echo, and the current Blues can be said to be empty, unless a miracle is staged, can reverse Milan to win the Champions League.

Although AC Milan is not bad for money, it has also won enough honors for the owner, and even wants to stand on another peak after the Capello era, but the news of head coach Jiang Qi's departure at the end of the season is no longer rumor, and the rookie coach will change his role in football, more precisely, in the sports circle, such a change may allow some players to flow into the market.

Similarly, these two teams are also the two types of representatives of European football at present, and Abou has invested heavily in exchange for the world's attention, making Chelsea's original second-rate team in the Premier League a new giant, and the focus has almost surpassed that of an established powerhouse such as the Red Army Gunners.

As for AC Milan, their current marketing strategy has been a case that will be analyzed by football clubs all over Europe, and the double rise of business and honor has made Milan the team with the highest commercial value compared to Real Madrid, and the commercial growth rate is far faster than the Galaxy Battleship that brings together all the "gentlemen".

It can be said that the operation of these two clubs provides more references for other clubs, and also makes the senior management of each club re-examine the investment figures for the new season.

If in the first half Milan and Chelsea were divided in the tactical competition, then the second half was more focused on the battle of will and fighting spirit, Artatuk did not lose on the field, and the score was fixed at 3:1, AC Milan successfully passed the last test set by the past achievements.

Gonzalez blew the whistle for the end of the game after four minutes of stoppage time, Ancelotti stood up and walked straight towards Jiang Qi, and the rookie coach also greeted him at the same time, and the moment the two men shook hands, Milan's history seemed to be engraved at the junction of two eras.

For Chelsea and AC Milan, this game may be the end of the season, but for many more teams, this is the real start of their new season! (To be continued......)
