AC Milan trailed Chelsea by as many as three goals in the last leg and will have to attack if they want to beat Chelsea to progress to the last four. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Chelsea manager Jose. Jose Mourinho understands that in San Rossi, AC Milan, who have a strong home advantage, will definitely launch a big attack, and he feels that the opponent will attack big in the opening game, so he repeatedly told the players before the game to pay attention to the opening defense and get into the game as soon as possible.

He guessed right.

As soon as the game began, AC Milan took advantage of their home advantage and launched a fierce attack into the heart of Chelsea with nearly 70,000 fans cheering on them, and they had the momentum to break through the goal in one fell swoop.

However, this is what he expected, so he is more confident that he will win this match.

For AC Milan, who are not aiming to win, but to score goals, and must score more than three goals to have any hope of qualifying, they have been forced to fight with their backs. For one of the world's top giants, the result of stopping in the quarterfinals is unacceptable, especially when they are eliminated by a sudden rise of the 'nouveau riche' team.

Another point is not known to ordinary fans, AC Milan President Silvio Berlusconi has an Italian bookmaker, at the beginning of the season, they offered Chelsea to win the European Champions League at odds of 1 to 63, this odds are almost the highest in the entire European bookmaker, although Italian fans rarely buy Chelsea to win the championship, but there are still many gamblers who spend a lot of money to try their luck, if Chelsea really wins, then the bookmaker will lose at least 70 million euros or more!

Although Berlusconi's assets are large, 70 million euros is not a small amount. As a result, Berlusconi promised Abramovich a lot of promotion bonuses before the game.

Therefore, the current AC Milan team not only occupies the geographical advantage, but also has people, their momentum is like a rainbow, just to score as soon as possible.

On the other hand, Chelsea put on a defensive counterattack posture from the beginning!

Frank Lampard, Makelele and Scott. Parker's three intercepted in front of the big penalty area, forming a volley line in the middle and back, and the five defenders behind stood very far behind, two on the side and three in the penalty area.

Although they think Serie A is the most solid defensively, Chelsea now have five defenders and there may be some gaps between them in terms of coordination with Serie A, but AC Milan's attack is still difficult to score.

………… From the beginning, Kaka has been running on the pitch, cooperating with his teammates, trying to find an opportunity to attack.

Before the Chelsea game, Kaka always felt that he was the best young man at all, but after the game, he found that he was wrong, at least the one named Allen. Wang's black-haired boy is far superior to him in terms of goal efficiency, and it can even be said that the two do not have comparable surnames.

But Kaka was not convinced, he felt that his role in the team was higher than that of Wang Li.

Whether it's dribbling, passing, speed, or shooting, he's good at it, and he feels that as a striker, the heart of the team's attack, creating chances for his team-mates is all about the most important thing.

Kaka felt that he should prove that he was no worse than Wang Li with his performance.

Therefore, from the beginning, Kaka has been fighting the court, his expression is extremely serious, only 5 minutes later, sweat has already wet his face.

"Pass it over!"

Standing near the halfway line, Kaka once again reached for the ball from his teammate, and Gattuso passed it without the slightest hesitation. After receiving the ball, Kaka launched an attack with the ball directly, shaking off Lampard and Scott in succession. Parker hoisted a foot into the Chelsea penalty area, and the ball was found to be played by John Brown in the box. Terry heads off the sideline.

One minute later, Kaka received the ball again, and after a few kicks with his teammates, the football had reached the line of the penalty area, and Kaka was just about to shoot with his feet when he was brought down by Gattuso with a beautiful tackle.

As soon as the ball was broken, he got up from the grass and quickly ran back to participate in the team's defense.

…… As a result of this effort, Kaka became the brightest man in the first 10 minutes, and almost all the AC Milan in the audience were refueling Kaka, and it was this kind of never-say-die fighter that they admired the most.

"Kaka!! Kaka!! Kaka!! ”

In the audience, such slogans have already sounded.

Sadly, despite Kaka's hard work, AC Milan have not been able to get any good chances from the start to the present.

During this time, Wang Li has been standing near the center circle to watch the situation of the team's backfield, during the period of AC Milan's big attack, he almost became the most idle person in the game, in 10 minutes, he only kicked the ball twice, and under the siege of the AC Milan team, he had to pass the ball or lose the ball before he could control the ball.

Although Wang Li almost did not perform, the defenders of AC Milan did not dare to relax in his defense, which Ancelotti had already told him before the game.

"No matter where he is, at least two people must follow him all the time, don't let him take the ball easily!" Ancelotti emphasized.

Now AC Milan is doing the same, although it is a big attack, but they also have at least three people left in the backfield, so it is too difficult for Wang Li to find opportunities. In fact, AC Milan also did not dare to let go of the attack because of Wang Li, at least the captain Maldini in the backfield has not stepped forward to participate in the assist at all.

This has greatly eased the pressure on Chelsea's defence.

It also made AC Milan's attack not receive even a little effect!

…………“stronzo,vergogni!! (Miscellaneous, shameless)"

Looking at the game on the field, AC Milan coach Ancelotti scolded angrily.

Judging from the previous games, Chelsea's formation is 4411, which is simply an 811 tactic, all 8 players are involved in defense, and the only forward Goremi also acts as a defensive back, and there is only one attacking player Wang Li. Even on the counter-attack, they controlled the formation and very few players crossed the halfway line to attack.

This is the **naked sea of people tactics!

From the previous games, Carlo Ancelotti has seen Chelsea's tactics, they just want to use the crowd tactics to prevent the goal, it is like using a super luxury bus to block the goal, AC Milan want to get over the car and shoot the ball into the goal.

That's right, the reality is similar to Ancelotti's thinking, with a three-ball advantage in hand, Mourinho is playing defensively.

It stands to reason that in the current European football, Chelsea is half a giant, two giants play each other, the gap between them is not big, and victory depends on performance, luck, etc., so when the giants play against each other, the scene will be very hot, and the game will be quite good.

But the game started with a sullen and stuffy game, and the scene almost became an offensive drill for AC Milan, or a defensive drill for Chelsea, and most of the reason for this is due to the Chelsea team, their crowd tactical defense is too strong, and even if there is an opportunity, the backfield players do not take the initiative to insert the attack, this approach makes AC Milan helpless, they want to take advantage of the Chelsea formation to launch a sneak attack.

No tactical set-up is as important as the number of people in the back.

In the hearts of the Portuguese, they even want to use all 10 people to participate in the defense, so that the goal is more stable, and Wang Li's deterrence in the front court can contain the AC Milan players more, AC Milan will not dare to let go of the attack, which is more beneficial to Chelsea's defense. As long as they stick to their defense, they can make it to the final four without worrying about any changes.

Jose Mourinho likes to take everything into his own hands, and although this tactic is a bit embarrassing and even despised by the media and fans, it is the victory to advance that is the key, and with the results, he doesn't care what the outside world thinks.

It worked, at least AC Milan couldn't do anything about this kind of impregnable defence, and it proved to be terrifying when a big team defended at full strength.

AC Milan defensively are solid, and that's because they have inherited the Italian style of defence, and every defender in the team is one of the world's top veterans with a lot of experience. But whether it's experience or tactics, it's not as important as the number of people, as long as we have enough people, then it doesn't matter what tactics are, just let you shoot at will, you may not be able to penetrate the wall and cross the goal, let alone the real game.

Chelsea's defensive players are among the best in the world.

In this case, how easy is it for AC Milan to score goals!?

…………

The long-term lack of scoring goals gradually made the AC Milan players a little impulsive.

In the 35th minute, AC Milan attacked again, and Rimaldini couldn't help but run forward in the backfield, at this time, only Stam and Nesta, the two central defenders, were following Wang Li, and the other players of AC Milan had already stepped into the front.

AC Milan's attack was very good, Maldini, Kaka and Pirlo made several passes in succession, so that the football was inserted into the right side of the Chelsea penalty area, winger Tomasson crossed with his feet, creating a threatening ball, and then the Ukrainian Shepchenko jumped high in the box and swung his head to attack!

This is the best opportunity since the opening!!

Unfortunately, the ball was picked off by Thomas with both hands.

AC Milan were again in vain, but this time, they couldn't walk back to the back of the field slowly and steadily, and Thomas picked up the ball and drove it forward with a big foot. Wang Li, who had been staring at the backcourt situation, started instantly, the trajectory of the football was very long, Wang Li easily succeeded in the anti-offside position, and turned towards the landing point of the ball.

It's a pity that Thomas's footwork is really not very good, the ball is too crooked, which makes when Stam and Nesta chase after them, Wang Li only has time to step on the low end of the football to complete a hanging shot, and the football hits the crossbar and flies out of the bottom line, which makes the AC Milanese all breathe a sigh of relief.

'It's a shame...... Allen had a good shot, it was his first shot since the opening kick-off, and if it wasn't for the crossbar, Chelsea would have taken the lead!'

From the opening to the present, the host of the imperial court station, who has not been able to find a topic to praise Wang Li, hurriedly commented on this shot.

In this game, many fans had great hopes to look forward to it, but the situation on the scene was diametrically opposite, Wang Li's play was really pitiful, and he failed to score. Now, the hostess of the imperial court station consciously ignored Wang Li when she was commenting on the game, which was diametrically opposed to the focus on his every action at the beginning.

And this kick also woke up the alarm for AC Milan, they realized that the opposite team is not completely without the power to counterattack, in the last meeting, Chelsea only with a simple long pass rush, scored their 5 goals, although now there is only the brunette boy in the front, but as long as the ball is passed, then the backfield is dangerous!

No one doubts Wang Li's strength now.

And as long as Chelsea are allowed to score first, then AC Milan will really have little chance when they are four goals behind.

This thought made the AC Milan players even more reluctant to attack, and as a result, their attack became more and more slow, which made it difficult for both teams to perform well in the final stages of the first half.

In the end, with the referee's whistle, the two teams entered the halftime break with a score of 0:0.

………… For Chelsea, the scoreline was perfectly acceptable, with the players heading out into the dressing room with confidence and a smile.

AC Milan players are the complete opposite, 0:0 means they have to score three goals in the second half if they want to qualify for the semi-finals!!

That's three balls!!

AC Milan are a top giant, yes, but they are better at defending, and it is not easy to score three goals against Chelsea in the 45th minute, but they didn't score a goal in the first half, so can they really score in the second half?

This kind of thinking has made the players even more depressed, and even some AC Milan players are ready for defeat in their hearts.

Taking advantage of the half-time period, the commentator of the court station began to evaluate the tactics of the two teams in the first half, and really said to Chelsea's stubborn tactics: "...... In this game, Chelsea's head coach Jose Mourinho has set up a defensive tactic, and since they had a three-goal advantage in the last game, they can play a defensive tactic in this game, so that they can easily advance. ”

Of course, all this is not the focus at all for the court and the majority of fans in the ancient orient, they are more concerned about Wang Li's performance, before the game starts, even the senior management of the court station also issued an order that Wang Li must be commented on more and say some good things when commenting.

So, the beautiful host also reluctantly began to praise weakly: "In the first half, Wang Li's performance can play more than 8 points, although he failed to touch the ball, but it is more of a problem with other teammates, in the few times he touched the ball, each time he threatened AC Milan's defense, this performance is world-class, from here we can also see that Wang Li's play is indeed the best in the game." ”

At this time, Rita, who was in Shanghai, was also watching the game by the TV, and her Chinese ability could also make her roughly understand the meaning, hearing this baseless praise, recalling Wang Li's performance in the first half that it took almost 5 minutes to meet the second ball, the gap between the two is too big.

However, after laughing, Rita's shrewdness is revealed, and from here she can see that anything can happen in this ancient country with a long history, even the advertising slogan of a sports brand is 'anything is possible', think about the European way of doing things, it will definitely encounter a series of problems.

Therefore, Rita decided to find someone who knew the ancient country to investigate everything before proceeding with business negotiations and the acquisition of the basketball team.

The words of the hostess of the imperial court station reminded Rita and saved her work a lot of trouble. I have to say that the imperial court has helped Wang Li a lot, a lot...... Perhaps, Wang Li should come to the door to thank him.

………… At half-time, Mourinho didn't say much in the visiting dressing room and didn't adjust his team's tactics, as for Chelsea, they just had to play according to the tactics of the first half, and there was no need to make any adjustments.

In the home dressing room, AC Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti performed in the opposite direction.

“vergogni!! Shameless Portuguese!! Shameless Chelsea!! ”

As soon as he entered the dressing room, Ancelotti began to curse. Before the game, he had thought a lot about Chelsea's tactics and that Chelsea would focus on defence, but he didn't expect them to be so desperate to defend and almost completely abandon attacking defence.

But it's perfectly in line with the rules of football.

The opponent didn't want to defend with all their might, cowering in the penalty area, and AC Milan could only let go of their hands and feet to attack, but they had Allen in their half. Wang, this is almost a time bomb!!

Without Wang Li, Ancelotti is not afraid of Chelsea defending with all his might, but with Wang Li, this kind of defense is more like a poisonous scorpion in patience, not only with a hard shell, but also capable of delivering a lethal blow when you are not paying attention.

In this situation, there is nothing to be done in a headache for Ancelotti, and he can only scold a few nonsense.

"Attack!! After the start of the second half, attack at all costs!! ”

After thinking about it calmly, Ancelotti gritted his teeth and made this extremely difficult decision.

AC Milan have been pushed into a corner, they have no choice, even if Wang Li's deterrence is strong, but without launching an all-out attack, they can only watch Chelsea easily eliminate them and enter the last four. This is also a choice out of desperation, and now Ancelotti can only pray that the team can score two goals first under the advantage, so that they can have hope of advancing again.

"Damn the Portuguese! Damn Alan. King! Damn Chelsea! ”

Despite the tactics already laid out, Ancelotti was still cursing in his heart, and he had been completely enraged by Mourinho's 'shameless' tactics.

Of course, I'm afraid it's more because the Italian can't see any hope of qualifying
