On April 6, AC Milan arrived in London in full force to prepare for the Champions League quarter-final at Stamford Bridge and Chelsea. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

For the Italian media, they are full of optimism about this game, and AC Milan has indeed performed well in the past two years. The year before, they beat Juventus in the final to win the Champions League, and last year they were beaten by Deportivo La Coruna at home to reach the last eight, but the team still performed well.

This year they have learned the lessons of last year and are likely to go to the next level, and as the number one giants in Serie A, they have reason to be so confident.

The English media are also optimistic about Chelsea, a team that has already won the league title and can put all their energy into the Champions League, which still has a big advantage over AC Milan, who are caught in the league race.

It's not the first time Chelsea have reached the Champions League, but the team hasn't been in a good run and has never qualified for the final, and the English media are certainly hoping it can go a little further, and now Chelsea are the hope of the whole of England.

Although a season ago, they also said that Chelsea's success would be the rise of utilitarian football, a regression in the development of football, but now, they see Chelsea as hope, and there are only three traditional giants in the entire Premier League, Manchester United, Arsenal, and Liverpool, and since the establishment of the Premier League system, Liverpool's performance has really been unsatisfactory.

Now, Manchester United and Arsenal are showing signs of decline in Europe again, and they have found that only the emergence of more strong teams in the Premier League can gain a foothold in world football, otherwise the Premier League will become the world's number one league if they do not perform well.

………… On April 5, Chelsea announced that they were going to train behind closed doors, that no media could enter the club to cover the club, and that the players were not allowed to go home, and that the whole team had to be at the club 24 hours a day.

The reason for this is to keep the players out of contact with the media, to be able to concentrate on training, to adjust their condition before the game, and to facilitate the management of the club, so that the tactical training is more effective.

When AC Milan arrived in London, the Chelsea players were training as usual, and Jose Mourinho was the first to get the news, waving his hand to show that he didn't care, but his eyes were getting sharper and more fierce as he stared at the training ground.

"Wayne, watch out you're a defender!! Fullback!! Do you really want to be a striker!? Seeing that Bridget was too far forward on the pitch, Mourinho immediately shouted: "Your task is to defend, not to attack!" ”

"Scott!! Pass!! What are you doing!? By the time you find someone left and right, the opportunity is gone!! The other party won't give you time to be stunned, you stupid!! ”

"Alan, you're going to step forward, you're a striker now!! Striker!! Not a midfielder!! There's Frank in the back, don't you still trust your teammates!? ”

…… If there were reporters around, they would have been surprised by Mourinho's words.

Since a few games in the first half of the season, the media's positioning of Wang Li has always been a player between midfielder and striker, shadow striker, midfielder, winger, forward he can play these positions, and he can do very well, but think about it, he really appears on the field as a traditional striker very rarely.

However, after two days of training, Wang Li has already adapted to his new position, and it can be said that he has now snatched the jobs of Gudjanssen and Drogba, who are now complaining about serving as the center of the substitute team.

Everybody had no problem with that, they wanted the team to win, and the manager put the new tactics in place, and Mourinho did a good job of that, he always got everyone's tasks in place before the game and the players didn't have to think about what to do on the pitch.

They have become a complete part of the team and believe that as long as everyone can do their job, then the team will win.

A season of results has fully proven Mourinho's ability, and his approach has been affirmed by all the staff.

And Wang Li's position change is Mourinho's winning weapon against AC Milan.

Before facing a strong team like AC Milan, it is definitely a taboo for the manager to change the team's tactics on the spot, because it will make many players uncomfortable and lead to serious problems in the coordination. However, against AC Milan, Mourinho really has little confidence, if he plays in the past, it is too difficult to win.

He doesn't believe in luck and perseverance, he just wants to take control of the game in his own hands.

Thus, new tactics were introduced.

It takes a long time for a team to adapt to a new tactic, but this new tactic is very simple, as long as Wang Li can do his job well, then the tactic can run smoothly.

The last two days of training have also given Mourinho a lot of confidence, and he believes that this style of play can break down the AC Milan defence.

............ "These are players to look out for. ”

On the evening of his arrival in Milan on April 6, Mourinho gathered all his players in the office to begin a real dissection of the opposition. He held a stack of information and carefully talked about the characteristics of each AC Milan player, and after this analysis, the Chelsea players found that every attacking player at AC Milan was quite a threat.

This puts a lot more pressure on the players.

"In their eyes, everyone in our team is a threat!" Wang Li's words eased the pressure on his teammates a lot.

"You have to pay attention to the young Brazilian boy, Paulo, this is up to you, he's very creative and more dangerous than the opposition's number one striker." Mourinho pointed at Paulo. Ferreira said.

Ferreira nodded.

'We need to pay more attention to their number one striker, Shepchenko, the Ukrainian who is in very good form at the moment and is the most threatening. When defending, be sure to shrink the line and don't give them too much space to attack. ”

"Offensively, it's the tactics we used in training. AC Milan have always considered their defence to be the best in the world, and it is true that they have not conceded a single goal in the Champions League so far, and I don't want to see them concede zero goals after this game. Mourinho said solemnly and with some half-jokingness.

"Don't worry, boss, Alan will definitely score." Seeing that the atmosphere in the room was a little lively, Bridget immediately jumped out and pointed at Wang Li and said.

"I thought you would say: I'm going to score for sure." Lampard quipped.

"Oh my God, I'm a defender, you can't expect me to plug in and assist, go and shoot, then the boss will be unhappy."

Mourinho nodded, smiled, and said: "If you plug in to assist and can't score, then you can sit on the bench in the next game." ”

'We were at Stamford Bridge in the first leg and we were going to St Rossi in the second leg and it was not for us. So I hope that tomorrow we must score as many goals as possible and try not to let them score, so that we can have a better chance of progressing to the last four. Don't be complacent in tomorrow's game, even if you're two goals ahead, remember it's only the first leg!! Speaking of this, Mourinho became serious again.

In the UEFA Champions Cup, there are countless examples of leading by a large score in the first leg, only to be overturned by the opponent in the second leg. Chelsea are still a very young team in the Champions League and Mourinho doesn't want those truths to be put to the test.

As I said to Carlo Ancelotti, it has a lot to do with the mentality of the players.

Chelsea do lack of experience in major tournaments.

………… By the afternoon of the next day, Stamford Bridge was already packed.

At this time, the European media were finally able to get up close and personal with the Chelsea players, who had been wanting to interview Chelsea all these days, but the team had been training behind closed doors.

And now, all the reporters have a feeling of 'clearing the clouds and seeing the bright moon', especially the reporters who interviewed Wang Li, they even thought 'I have waited so long in vain to finally see Allen', from this point of view, Chelsea's closed training is also very effective on the outside.

Wang Li is naturally the most popular star of the Chelsea team, even more popular than Mourinho, just out of the home team dressing room, he was surrounded by reporters, England, Italy, Spain, Germany, etc., Wang Li also saw reporters from the ancient oriental country of China.

Everyone is concerned about Wang Li's current state, what the team has trained in the past two days, and there is news that wants some breaking news.

This kind of news has always appeared on Wang Li, because every time he has a high profile before the game.

'We're going to win, AC Milan are a good team but unfortunately they were unlucky to run into us.'

Wang Li's answer was not unexpected by most people, and even many people took it for granted, this young boy has always been like this, at this time, a media from Germany asked: "Who do you think is more dangerous in the AC Milan team, and will you be nervous when playing against such a giant?" ”

"Nervous? I think it's them who should be nervous, maybe they were ready to lose before they came back, you know, the Italian has been comforting himself before the game, confusing himself with winning fans, and we don't care about this kind of clown. ”

What Ancelotti said in the media before the game has long been known to the Chelsea players, and everyone is very angry about it, and Wang Li is the same, saying bluntly that AC Milan will win before the game starts, which has become a mockery in the ears of Chelsea people. Now, in the face of many media, Wang Li finally has the opportunity to fight back, and he will not let go of this opportunity.

In fact, he doesn't want to think about what he does when he plays against other teams...... Wang Li's words are obviously very appetizing to these reporters, except for the Italian media, which is a little indignant, reporters from other countries are very satisfied, and they are very glad that they came to interview Wang Li to get such a big news.

At this time, the Italian media couldn't help but start to ask sideways: "What do you think of Ancelotti, will you consider coming to Milan in the summer, Mr. Berlusconi also admires you." ”

"Milan City!?" Wang Li was stunned for a moment, reacted and smiled, and said, "Maybe, I like the blue and black jersey very much." In other words, he loves Inter.

This is as disgusting as eating a fly to the ears of the AC Milan media!

After answering a few more casual questions, Wang Li walked straight to the court, and by this time, the AC Milan players were already getting used to the field.

Compared to the entire Stamford Bridge stadium, Wang Li is only a small part of the audience, but when he walked out of the players' tunnel, whether it was the fans who had just entered the stadium in the stands, or the AC Milan players who were adapting to the field, they all looked at him.

"Kaka, that's Mr. 80 million!?" Gattuso looked at Wang Li's figure and asked with interest. In fact, the news that Berlusconi wants to buy Wang Li for 80 million euros has already spread in Italy, and of course the internal G14 agreement is impossible for the media to know.

"How do I know?" Kaka also looked at Wang Li's figure and said with a contemplative expression: "Where is he so powerful, Chelsea actually refuses to sell 80 million." ”

'The manager told me to focus on defending him, he's the most dangerous man at Chelsea, he's just under 19, hehe......... That's amazing! ”

"Ivan, don't underestimate him, he almost scored 50 goals in 31 rounds of the league, this kid's goal efficiency is extremely high, you may not be able to prevent him!" Shepchenko, the Ukrainian nuclear warhead next to him, also leaned over and said sourly, as the world's top striker, he knew how difficult it was to score so many goals.

Gattuso waved his hand and said, "Andrei, are you jealous of him!?" Haha......"

"It's nothing, I'm the top scorer in Serie A!!" Shepchenko said, and consciously stretched out his arm and posed.

This caused everyone to scatter in all directions.

'He's also the Premier League's top scorer and he's scored twice as many goals as Thierry Henry, so Andre, you have to come on.'

Hearing this, Shepchenko looked at the back, nodded solemnly, and said silently in a low voice: "I will prove that I am better than him!" ”

………… In the opening 15 minutes, the anchor rooms of each TV station have already obtained the starting lineup lists of both sides.

AC Milan's starting line-up did not surprise most people, with their full squad coming on to face Chelsea at their best.

The goalkeepers are Brazil international No. 1 Dida, four Iron Man defenders No. 2 Cafu, No. 31 Stam, No. 13 Nesta, and No. 3 captain Maldini, three midfielders No. 8 Gattuso, No. 21 Pirlo and No. 20 Seedorf, forward No. 22 Kaka, forward Argentine goalscorers No. 11 Crespo and No. 7 Shevchenko.

"AC Milan has a 4312 formation, the main force is full, but from this traditional formation, AC Milan still wants to be stable at Stamford Bridge, the combination of 3 backs and 4 defenders, this kind of defense is really strong, their defense is also the top in the whole world, it seems that it is not easy for Chelsea to win goals."

“…… They also need to pay more attention to defence, and AC Milan's forward line is no slouch, with the third-highest number of goals scored in Serie A, and this kind of attacking power will not be a problem to penetrate Chelsea's defence. ”

On Sky TV, Graham looked at AC Milan's lineup and analyzed it with concern.

'Well, let's take another look at Chelsea's starting line-up.

“… oh，my~~god！！ Oh my God, it was unexpected, Allen was playing center at the front!? ”

Chelsea's starting line-up has left all the media in the spotlight, with the exception of Didier Drogba and Gudjanssen who are not on the pitch except for the change in Wang's position, which means that Victor is a lone striker. The two wings are unsurprisingly still Altyn. Robben and Damien. Duff, while in midfield Frank Lampard, Claude Makelele and Scott Frank Brown. Parker also played all, which means Chelsea have five midfielders.

Defender line Williams. Gallas was on the bench and Bridget was given his chance, which left everyone at a loss.

Although Bridget's defensive ability is also very good, it is still worse than Gallas, and if it comes to offensive ability, then Gallas, who can pass suddenly and has rich experience and flexible running, is even stronger, and this starting list is really confusing.

Could it be that Mourinho has lost his mind, or has he given up the game!?

………… Meanwhile, in the home team's dressing room, Jose Mourinho also got the starting line-up for AC Milan.

He first glanced at the opposing backline, and four high-profile players came into view - Cafu, 35, former captain of the Brazilian national team, winner of two World Cups, although he is older, but his strength is unquestionable, he is still the absolute main force of AC Milan.

Stam and Nesta, the two defenders of the former Lazio dynasty, Stam is known as the "iron defender", although he is 32 years old, but now is the best period of his career; Nesta is known as the "Iron Defender" and "King of Rome" in Italy, and his record value of 31 million euros in Serie A in 2002 can fully explain his ability.

Paul. Maldini, 37, former AC Milan captain Cesare. Maldini's son, although he is 37 years old this year, is still the captain of AC Milan, and is still called the 'best left-back' by the Italian media, since becoming the absolute main force of AC Milan in 85, this is his 20th season for this giant giant, his strength, there is no need to explain at all.

The combination of the four defenders was not unexpected, but Mourinho still felt a little tingling in his scalp, and he looked at the brunette boy sitting cross-legged in the chair with some concern.

In this game, the Portuguese has put almost all the goals on Wang Li alone, 'Can he withstand the pressure?' ''Can he play at his normal level against these super defenders?'' ’…… These questions have always surrounded Mourinho's mind, even if he is extremely confident in Wang Li's state and strength, but when the game is approaching, he is still worried.

However, it is no longer possible to change the formation on the fly, and when he saw the brunette kid in front of him open his eyes, Mourinho knew that it was time to take the players out of the dressing room and into the tunnel to prepare for the pitch.
