Today's five watches! ――

The battle at the top of the Santiago Bernabeu was on the verge of getting underway, with Real Madrid and AC Milan starting line-up.

During the Champions League kick-off ceremony, Kaka of the AC Milan team looked up and inadvertently saw Qin Xiong standing in front of the window in the VIP box.

His eyes were slightly condensed, and his heart was full of war!

They had played each other three years ago, but in that season, it was Qin Xiong's Ajax who finally achieved the prestige of the legendary youth army!

The following year, Kakaben had the opportunity to reign with AC Milan, but the night in Istanbul became a nightmare that none of the players at the time wanted to remember!

In another year, Qin Xiong reached the top of Europe for the second time at Arsenal, and he has already achieved superstar prestige, and even stepped into the ranks of superstars one step ahead of Kaka!

Now, three years later, Kaka is competing with Qin Xiong for the position of the world's No. 1 midfielder with his excellent on-court performances.

It's a battle of kings in the realm of superstars!

It's a pity that Qin Xiong can't appear today, and even the live broadcast camera frequently locks on the box where Qin Xiong is, and then stays on Kaka's figure for a few seconds, as if the lens language is telling the world that what everyone wants to see is the peak duel between the two young kings!

The first leg of the Champions League 1/8 finals was the first to start at the Bernabeu.

Real Madrid played at home, and with the enthusiasm of the fans, the team wanted to have an advantage at home, but from the beginning of the game, the pace of the game was not in the hands of Real Madrid, and the overall advantage was out of the question.

The reason is simple, Carlo Ancelotti's AC Milan has far more control of the game than Real Madrid.

The one who wins the midfielder wins the world!

AC Milan knows this.

In Pirlo, he teamed up with Seedorf to control the midfield. Gattuso and Ambrosini are in good defensive prominence. Real Madrid struggled to gain the upper hand at both ends of the pitch in midfield. One can even put it bluntly, completely passive!

This will make Real Madrid's mentality become agitated, and the players will not be able to play well by organizing attacks through regular positional battles, so they will fall into the most basic thinking: pile up attacking players!

As more and more players press forward, the defence slowly weakens.

AC Milan's counter-attacks and fast attacks became more and more fluid.

Had it not been for Casillas' courageous performance, he might have scored twice in the first 20 minutes of the first half.

In the 27th minute, Kaka made a long-distance run down the middle, and his speedy and unreasonable dribbling breakthrough made Emerson look good. Then, with the support of Seedorf, he easily broke through Diarra's defense zone by hitting the wall.

The last blow of Kaka showed his true colors, strong burst!

He dribbled diagonally past Cannavaro, who turned and lost his chance to intercept Kaka, only to watch as he blasted the ball into the far top corner!

Casillas is really helpless, the back is too leaky, especially when the full-backs also rush up to participate in the attack, the protection of the wings of the penalty area is almost none, and Kaka's breakthrough is extremely sharp.

The fans in the Bernabeu stands became agitated and even began to boo.

Chairman Calderón, who was also sitting in the box watching the game, had an ugly face.

He was constantly under pressure from members and the media, and he knew it was time for him to make a decision.

However, it is impossible to shake the business goal of being based on competitive performance. So he has to refer to Capello's performance in leading Real Madrid to the Champions League.

The Champions League has always been on the minds of Real Madrid members.

Because if you win another Champions League title, you will win the tenth Champions League on behalf of Real Madrid!

Qin Xiong sat in the box and watched the game expressionlessly. Real Madrid can hardly be said to be able to compete with AC Milan in terms of overall technical and tactical strength and individual point-to-point offensive and defensive battles.

If Capello can completely turn Real Madrid into a successful team, he may still have the strength to fight.

It's a pity that in Real Madrid's genes, the team itself is a football philosophy that resists this kind of defensive victory, and the resistance comes from all sides, and the team naturally cannot perfectly implement the coaching ideas of the head coach.

This has caused Real Madrid to have tactical confusion in the game, and the execution cannot be consistent.

Combat effectiveness has been drastically reduced!

At the start of the second half, Real Madrid strengthened their attack by trying to equalize, which was like unleashing Kaka completely, making Real Madrid's second half a backyard for Kaka.

In the 61st minute of the game, Kaka, who was the acceleration point of the attack in the front, once again staged a personal dribbling raid, and then assisted Inzaghi to break through Casillas's ten fingers in front of the back line!

Real Madrid are 2-0 down at the Bernabeu!

Qin Xiong stood up, he put on his coat and looked back and gestured to Sylvia, he couldn't sit here and continue watching the game.

I can't expect Real Madrid's next performance, and I am only full of disappointment.

There is no point in thinking about who is right and who is wrong at this point.

He knows that Real Madrid has no hope of winning this game, which means that his hopes of defending the Champions League are almost gone!

The live camera captured Qin Xiong leaving the VIP box, as if to suggest that the abandoned superstar could not watch the team's dignity crushed by AC Milan at home.

Although Qin Xiong is gone, AC Milan's performance is not over yet.

In the 79th minute of the game, Kaka was fouled by Diarra in front, AC Milan won a direct free kick, and Pirlo took the free kick and kicked the iconic leaf ball into the Real Madrid goal for the third time!

Boos at the Bernabeu!

Fans waved white handkerchiefs and expressed intense anger at the team's performance.

Calderon was in the box, his face turned pale.

Capello looked numb on the sidelines.

Raul, who ran the pitch in vain, wiped his sweat, Ruud van Nistelrooy, who barely had a few touches of the ball in the game, was disheartened, and Guti, who was suppressed, could only roar hysterically to vent

When the full-time whistle blew, the AC Milan squad celebrated at the Bernabeu.

Carlo Ancelotti held back a smile and shook Capello's hand, as if the whole world decided that AC Milan would break into the last eight of this season's Champions League without any suspense!

Calderón looked at the dazzling sight of the white handkerchiefs waving in the audience, and lost his mind slightly.

It was a long time before he got up from his seat, straightened his suit, and then turned to Mijatovic and whispered to him.

"Start the change of coach! Find a successor for Capello! ”

Mijatovic was not surprised.

When the team was humiliated at home by AC Milan, Calderón, as president, had to take the pressure off his shoulders, and the easiest and most straightforward way to do that was to put the blame on the head coach.

This is exactly what Florentino did back then! (To be continued......)
