Chapter 1167: No need to celebrate
After Glory's goal, AC Milan fans were hoping that AC Milan would pick themselves up and equalise quickly.
But nothing like this really happened, only in the imagination of AC Milan fans.
In their imagination, AC Milan are bombarding Manchester City's goal and slinging glory.
But in reality, it's quite the opposite.
After taking the lead, City played more relaxed, and the players were often able to play amazing combinations with each other, completely suppressing AC Milan.
In the 41st minute, Ibrahimovic, who was full of anger and had nowhere to vent, finally scored the goal.
City were attacking and centre-forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic didn't stay in front of goal, but dropped back and pulled AC Milan's centre-back Thiago Silva out. Then Glory suddenly stepped forward in front of the door.
At this time, the right wing-back who took the ball Zabaleta made a decisive cross.
However, Glory could not get the ball on the ball, and the football was pushed out by central defender Nesta, who was still in front of goal.
The ball flew straight out of the box.
Ibrahimovic, who had been withdrawn to the outside, was just near the landing point of the football, he rushed up, then picked up his right leg and came with a beautiful volley!
After a muffled bang, the ball drew a less obvious arc in the air, direct? flew to the top right corner of the goal.
Abbiati took to the air and pounced on the football, but he couldn't touch it.
Because Ibrahimovic's shot is too tricky and powerful!
The soccer ball roared into the goal!
2:0!
※※※
"Oooo World Wave! Manchester City lead AC Milan 2-0 away from home! This is really something that many people didn't expect before the game! AC Milan, who are in first place in Serie A this season, conceded two goals before the end of the first half against Manchester City, the top team in the Premier League! ”
The San Siro Stadium was once again silent – a situation they had never imagined before. The teams that are excellent in the league are so weak in the Champions League...... You must know that AC Milan in the past has Champions League genes and conceded goals! They have won far as many league titles as Juventus, but their results in the Champions League can be laughed at in Italian football.
Compared to them, Juventus' results in the Champions League are much more lackluster.

Ibrahimovic was excited after the goal, but he didn't celebrate wildly, he just waved his fist with a hideous face and ran back to his own half.
He didn't want to be compared to glory. Since Rong Guang didn't celebrate after scoring a goal, it means that he didn't pay attention to scoring in the Champions League at all, so he can't look like he didn't score in the Champions League.
So Ibrahimovic did not celebrate.
The two goalscorers' cold and noble style made Manchester City's teammates a little unexpected.
They rushed up excitedly to celebrate the goal with Ibrahimovic, but Ibrahimovic just waved his fist and ran back, they hugged Ibrahimovic and didn't know if it was time to continue celebrating......
The atmosphere became a little eerie......
However, in the eyes of AC Milan fans, this is an insult and contempt for them.
Generally speaking, the more excited a player is after a goal, the more important they are to the goal. The reason why they are able to do this is because the opponent is strong enough to make them feel that "it is a good thing to score this opponent's goal".
But now, Glory and Ibrahimovic have been indifferent after scoring goals. What does this mean?
It shows that they don't think it's a big deal to score AC Milan goals at all!
Who would score a goal in a warm-up game against an underdog, run halfway down the pitch and hug their team-mates to celebrate a goal?
AC Milan may be no different from an underdog in the eyes of Glory and Ibrahimovic, and the dignified Champions League quarterfinals have also been relegated to warm-up matches......
How can this not make AC Milan fans angry?
It's a pity that anger is useless.
AC Milan is not angry......
※※※
That was the end of the first half.
AC Milan made some changes in the second half, but they couldn't change the situation.
With two goals, Manchester City played their most comfortable defensive counter-attack.
This makes it difficult for AC Milan.
And the "Italian defensive genes" that the Italian media were proud of before the game were useless when they were two goals behind.
In the 67th minute, Glory assisted David Silva to score another goal.
City have scored three away goals on the road, and are three goals ahead of AC Milan, a score that would have almost sealed the suspense of the two-legged quarter-finals.
David Silva is different from Glory and Ibrahimovic, and he was still very excited after the goal and ran to Glory to celebrate the goal.
Glory also responded to him enthusiastically.
The rest of the City players let out a sigh of relief and ran forward – finally to celebrate a goal!
Seeing his players celebrating their goals, Benitez suddenly thought of what glory had said to him before the game, and he thought that AC Milan was a team that did not deserve City's full strength, so there was no need to think too much about AC Milan.
However, he didn't listen to his advice at the time, and Benitez felt that no matter what, the team that could finish first in Serie A would not let himself be looked down upon, right?
Even if Serie A declines, the skinny camel is bigger than the horse, and AC Milan is not too bad, right?
But the reality is so cruel, it slapped Benitez in the face nakedly - AC Milan is so vulnerable under the impact of Manchester City!
He only now understands that Glory is right, such a team doesn't really need him to spend too much time on this team......
Thinking of this, he began to prepare for a substitution.
Replace key players to give them more rest and prepare for the league and Champions League quarter-finals.
※※※
He was substituted after David Silva's goal.
Then Gareth Barry was replaced.
In the 78th minute, Benitez used up his third substitution. It was Sneijder who was replaced this time.
The three substitutions were all counterpointers, and there were no tactical adjustments, and it can be seen that Benitez's substitutions simply wanted to give the three of them more time to rest.
In the quarterfinals of the Champions League, or at the home of AC Milan, Benitez's move somewhat looked down on AC Milan.
But turning their heads to look at the scores of the two sides on the big screen at the scene, AC Milan fans and Italian reporters and commentators may not have the confidence to criticize Benitez's move.
A team that has been beaten by Manchester City at its home stadium and has not dared to score goals on all fronts until now, what qualifications do you have to say about others?
※※※
Robinho worked hard in the game, but his effort was insignificant in the face of City's three goals.
After David Silva's goal, Robinho's watch fell silent as if he had suffered a very heavy blow.
This City is stronger than when he left......
In front of such a powerful Manchester City, his revenge looks very ridiculous.
If you can't even score a goal, what kind of revenge can you talk about?
※※※
In the end, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game in the 91st minute.
Despite three minutes of stoppage time, the referee saw that AC Milan had little fighting spirit and showed no sign that they were capable of scoring even one goal in the next two minutes.
So he simply blew the whistle for the end of the game.
After he did so, the AC Milan players on the pitch did not protest. It can be seen that they were really blinded by Manchester City's three goals, and they haven't reacted yet......
After the game, the AC Milan fans in the stands booed.
The boos were not for Manchester City, but for the AC Milan players.
Fans are very unhappy with the form and performance of the AC Milan players.
But the boos were nothing to do with the City players, who celebrated their victory and walked off the pitch, leaving the boos behind them, leaving the embarrassment and pain behind AC Milan.
※※※
Kaka turned off the TV, but he didn't get up to leave.
Instead, he sat on the couch as if it were a sculpture.
Glory didn't score again after the goal, but he set up David Silva to seal the win for City.
The best player of the match will obviously be the glory.
Kaka suddenly thought of that scene from many years ago.
The little man who pointed at himself and said he was going to beat him has now grown to the point where he needs to look up to see it......
And he was thrown farther and farther away by him, and he couldn't catch up.
This fact is cruel and a little unacceptable.
But Kaka must now be accepted.
It's long gone for him.
"Honey?" Caroline whispered from the side.
Kaka came to his senses.
"Ah, I'll go...... Take a shower. He made some excuse, but when he got up, he didn't go to the bathroom, but walked out.
"That's the gate...... Caroline reminded him.
Kaka's hand, which was already reaching for the doorknob, paused.
"I know, I'm going to sweat before I take a shower." Kaka turned around and gave Caroline a smile, then pulled the door open and walked out.
Caroline fell silent as she watched the door close before her eyes and her husband's back disappear behind it......
Then she turned her head to look at Kaka's phone on the coffee table.
On the screen is a photo of her, Kaka, and their son, and the family of three laughing happily and sweetly.
Caroline gently stroked her belly, which was already fully bulging, where was their second child, the soon-to-be-born daughter.
There are more and more family members, but Kaka's career has fallen into a trough.
They don't need to worry about the money to support their family, but Caroline worries that Kaka, whose career is at a low point, will be in a low state for a long time, which will be bad for their family.
She hopes that the father in the eyes of the children will always be the one who is high-spirited and chases victory and ideals. I1292
