The next day, in the lobby of the hotel, there were constantly scantily clad beauties wandering. These beauties seem to have a special admiration for the Milan players, approaching them for various reasons. Ancelotti frowned, looking at all this, feeling more and more confused.

Carlo Ancelotti gave an order to the players: no one could approach these beauties before the game.

He thinks there may be other intrigues involved, and if a photo of Milan and these beauties were to be in the media, it would cause negative news for the club. This will affect the player's form of play.

In order to dispel these conspiracies, Ancelotti used some channel to let the media expose the matter. Before a large number of media outlets arrive at the hotel, these beauties suddenly disappear without a trace.

The Italian media thought that this could be a conspiracy by some people, and Barcelona immediately clarified that they would not use this means to influence the battle at the top. Their words made people half-convinced, how could the Italian media easily give up such an opportunity, they alluded to this as Barcelona's trick, and for a time Barcelona was saddled with the notoriety of a conspirator.

Soon, the truth of the incident was revealed, and a Barcelona fan admitted in front of the media that it was his own doing. In this way, he hopes to bring negative news to Milan and thus break Milan's fighting spirit.

The Italian media made a big fuss about this, and they believed that this kind of behavior showed that Barcelona fans did not trust their team at all, and could only use this kind of inferior means to deal with Milan.

Barca, who have always kept a low profile, did not say anything to the media on the matter, and Rijkaard is making the most preparations for the second leg.

The importance of this game cannot be overstated. A matchup between two of the best teams of the season. In the first leg of the match, fans all over the world were fascinated. Barcelona lost the game, but they didn't lose mentally, and back at Camp Nou, they returned to chance.

Many Spanish football celebrities have supported Barcelona in front of the media, believing that Barcelona will create a miracle and score at least three goals at Camp Nou. Their sharp attack, along with Milan's poor backline, is a guarantee of this miracle.

After arriving at Barcelona. Carlo Ancelotti has always done it. Training sessions are not open to the outside world at all. The more you can't get something, the more mysterious it feels, and the Spanish media speculate that Carlo Ancelotti is brewing a new defensive combination. Coustacuta and Stam played at centre-back, with Maldini returning to left-back. Cafu will appear at right-back.

They also made predictions in Milan's midfield. It is thought that Carlo Ancelotti will deploy a back three. In addition to Andrea Pirlo, he will bring in Gattuso and Ambrosini, who have returned from injury. Gattuso and Ambrosini will form a barrier in front of the Milan defenders.

A 2-0 lead in the first leg. Milan took a two-goal advantage to Camp Nou, and what Carlo Ancelotti had to do was to concede as few goals as possible for Barca. So the backline is the first thing Ancelotti has to focus on.

The three attackers up front have not changed much, with the in-form Kaka playing as a midfielder, and Tang will definitely play in this big battle, as for the other striker, it could be Inzaghi, who scored twice three days ago, or the tall Vieri.

The Italian media also predicted Barcelona's lineup, and they believe that on the whole, Barcelona is still performing quite well at the San Siro, and Rijkaard will not adjust the personnel and will play with the original team.

The only possible surprise could be in midfield, with Xavi's injury recovery giving Rijkaard more options in midfield. If Xavi had been on the pitch, perhaps Rijkaard would have reduced the number of strikers and put Giuli on the bench.

If Ronaldinho had done the same in the previous game, the midfield of Xavi, Deco and Andres Iniesta would have shouldered the burden of the team's attack. With the addition of a defensive midfielder, Barcelona's midfield becomes four. Barcelona's formation will be adjusted to a solid 442.

Deco, a player who has won the Champions League, did not play in the first leg of the pinnacle game, reportedly because of Deco's injury. However, there was no response to this news from Deco, and there was speculation after the game that he was at odds with Rijkaard. Back at Camp Nou, Rijkaard should play him in order to reach the final.

Deco's presence on the pitch may ease the anxiety in the hearts of the Barcelona players and play a role in stabilizing the morale of the army. When it comes to personnel, Barcelona have a lot more options than Milan and they have a lot of depth on the bench.

The media made predictions about the lineups of both sides before the game, and the Spanish media did not agree with the predictions of the Italian media at all. They believe Rijkaard will still be in a four-three-three formation. The Italian media said that Rijkaard abandoned the usual four-three-three formation and adjusted the formation to four-four-two, the purpose of which was to show that Barcelona was inferior, and even the formation had to be the same as Milan.

There was no war of words between the coaches and players on both sides, but it began between the media. They see themselves as part of this game. This phenomenon has been interpreted by a number of neutral media outlets, who believe that there could be no other match that would cause this situation because these two teams represent the highest level of the two countries. Many of the players from these two teams are the backbone of their national teams.

……

Numerous Spanish and Italian media hyped the match between Barcelona and Milan, and another match that was not followed by many media began that night.

It was a tidbit from the game, which sparked speculation in the media after the game, that the Spanish fan might have done it on purpose to make the Arsenal players complain about Thierry Henry.

In the 48th minute, Venta again crossed high from the right touchline, and Franco headed in Torre from seven yards. The ball grabs the right post and misses the baseline. In the next game.

……

After the match between Arsenal and Villarreal, fans and media around the world once again focused their attention on Barcelona. The Italian media interviewed the Milan players through various channels.

The war of words between the pre-match players of both sides began!

Kaka said: "We will give the Milan fans a good game! ”

Tang Jue said: "Barcelona's goal is always open to me!" ”

The Italian media hyped Tang Jue's domineering declaration of war. The Spanish media began to fight back, and they also interviewed the Barcelona players through some channel.

When they asked, what did they think of what Tang Jue said. The Lion King Puyol said: "We're not going to give him too much space to shoot and chances to shoot. Camp Nou's Barcelona are the strongest team in the world and no one can beat them here! ”

Valdés said: "The Barcelona goal will deny him a shot! ”

Deco said: "This is a sign of a young maniac, and I will laugh it off!" ”

Ronaldio laughed: "If this is said by Ronnie, maybe some people believe it." Even if Ronnie was playing, he wouldn't say anything like that. Camp Nou is nowhere else, it's Barça's turf! ”

Tang Jue said through the media: "Camp Nou is Barcelona's territory, that's right. But I have a way to turn Camp Nou into a San Siro! No one can stop me from scoring, no one can! ”

Tang Jue's words were very arrogant, and they were obviously not accepted by the Spanish media. Barcelona fans are also plotting to find a way to contain him. Let this arrogant guy be taught a lesson. Young Milan fans are fascinated by the fact that Milan players have always been mild-mannered in front of the media. Now there's finally a guy who speaks arrogantly, and it's quite to their liking!
