The 1994 Champions League final was a great milestone for AC Milan.

Without this Big Ears Cup, even if Capello led the team to play a 58-game unbeaten legend, even if Milan dominated the Serie A league dominated by the "Seven Sisters", it would be difficult to crown the brand of the dynasty after all.

What's even more unbelievable is that they beat Barcelona in Athens by four goals to create the name of the "Dream Team" with their attacking frenzy at the time, you must know how difficult it is to be able to play the entire season of La Liga in that year and get the number of goals in triple figures, and more than 20 years later, whether it is Cristiano Ronaldo or Messi, the individual goals of such superstars can brush a terrifying statistic......

Moreover, very similar to the current situation, AC Milan at that time was also plagued by injuries, so that the number of players Capello brought to Athens was only 14, just enough for the regular game with substitutions, which is no longer overstretched.

After the game, Kaka, who scored the first goal in the game, also mentioned this tape -

"This tape taught us how to beat a strong opponent and Paul told us that we need to play hard, we need to play with speed, we need to have courage, and now as you can see, we did it!"

Indeed, if you want to beat a team like Barcelona, which has a combination of attack and defense and strong control, the foundation is solid defense, the core is speed, and the key is interception in the midfield.

It only takes speed to penetrate Barca's zone of control to inflict effective damage on such a team, as was the case with AC Milan in 1994. The videotape that Jiang Qi created was still the same. The ribs quickly penetrate the defense line and then pass back. Directly attack the goal after breaking the ball in the front court, burst out with speed in an instant to force through the central defender, and quickly transfer the ball under the equal number of attackers and defenders, whether it is Massaro, Savicevic more than 20 years ago, or later Pato and Muntari, although their ways of scoring goals seem to be different, but the trajectory inside has the same vein and traces to be found.

That's why Maldini will send a combination of Moutinho, Gattuso and Ambrosini in this game. In the midfield, a triangular area intercepted Barcelona's attack and became the starting point of the attack.

Despite the fact that the score was only 2:0, there were still many media chanting incredible.

Rijkaard's side had just managed to break down La Liga's strongest defence in the national derby two weeks earlier, with a 3-1 scoreline that lit up the skies with fireworks at the Camp Nou, but there was no match for them here in Milan.

The Milanese limited Barca's effective shots to three in the game, which was equally eye-catching.

The finishing touch was undoubtedly the Czech goalkeeper Petr Cech saved two penalties in a row, and Sky Sports even commented, "Don't know Frank? Did Rijkaard suspect that he was dreaming the moment Cech saved the penalty, and that the man opposite him was Francisco? ...... Toldo"

There are too many gimmicks created by this odds battle, enough to sustain the excitement of the media for several days. And in the midst of the uproar, the whole Milan team slipped away quietly.

There was no option to fly non-stop to Turin. Maldini, who returned to Milanello, was first to bring the players who played in midweek into the Milan laboratory, especially Ambrosini, who was suffering from an old injury.

Maldini has a much higher level of deconstruction of Juventus than Barcelona, and all he needs is to ensure the health of all his players, which is the benefit of the board not giving pressure targets.

Italy's domestic media apparently quickly turned their attention to the weekend's strong conversation, but even if AC Milan bring home a win from Spain, there are still not many who fancy them to win, Capello is not Rijkaard, Juventus is not Barcelona, at least in the Italian civil war, the old woman is a formidable opponent.

But the result was that the Milanese won again, a goal, a victory, and the Alpi Stadium reluctantly accepted the bitter fruit of another defeat.

In this round, Maldini completely adjusted the formation, returning from 4-3-2-1 to 4-2-2, while building the injured Ljungberg and the premise of Lahm into the new wings of the midfield, to a certain extent, limiting Juventus's sharpest attacking points.

In addition, the combination of Klose and Inzaghi has increased the pressure on Juventus' somewhat weak central defence, and on this basis, the new Milan coach specially designed a multi-player duke that focuses on the technical characteristics of Emerson and Vieira, and then ...... Intentionally or unintentionally, it will also tease the former captain of the gunman.

Thus, the turning point of the game came in the 66th minute, Moutinho used a rare and even somewhat dazzling move to break through Vieira one-on-one, which made the French veteran face no longer hang, and a ferocious tackle applied for a second yellow card for himself...... I don't have to say, let's go down.

And three minutes later, the Milanese found a gap in the middle, Klose cleverly made the ball, Inzaghi's smart movement, and a fatal blow!

This game made a group of onlookers peep, not only Maldini's age-inappropriate sophistication, but also Moggi's unique vision, Vieira, as a new signing this summer, has become an out-and-out pillar for Juventus!

The task of "Championship Touchstone" has won two victories at once, Jiang Qi is also a little surprised, in his opinion, as long as it can remain undefeated, it is a victory for the team, after all, there are two consecutive away games in the three games, and their own team has a lot of injuries.

Finally returned to the home field, or faced Barcelona, which had already played against each other, and took advantage of the psychological warfare, and many fans who flocked to the San Siro were expecting to see a momentum of the offensive battle, but Maldini put on a stable counterattack formation.

Rijkaard is even more obedient to the word "stable", the offensive and defensive speed of the two teams is not fast, the competition is more about control, and the final ending is naturally a 0:0, and the two sides exchanged blank papers.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, you can understand the thoughts of the coaches of the two teams, Milan takes away three points away, as long as the home team does not capsize, the first place in the group is secure, and Barcelona does not need to fight for the first place in the group, the other two teams in the group really can't pose a threat to them, which is obvious.

After a series of intriguing fixtures, Moutinho's name was completely resounding, and in the two games in which he replaced Andrea Pirlo at the heart of Milan's midfield, the Portuguese's talent was on full display in terms of combing the tempo, controlling the situation, instigating attacks, delivering key passes and even interceptions.

Young and promising, with a bright future, there are also scouts and coaches from major giants chasing with the media......

Similarly, while the media is sparing no effort to praise Moutinho, another voice has come out, "Pirlo doesn't seem to be that important to Milan anymore." ”

Of course, it was the Milan club that reacted faster, and soon the news that Pirlo and Moutinho had both renewed their contracts came out, which was specially advised by Lao Jiang, and when the media and other clubs had to temporarily shut down, Lao Jiang had turned on the system with great anticipation, waiting for its evaluation of this mission......
