The 3-0 win over Inter Milan came on April 3, and the team did not have time to rest after the game, and the next day AC Milan went to Madrid without stopping.

In the game against Real Madrid, AC Milan's starting lineup was adjusted, except for Gattuso's Champions League ban and Pato was on the bench with a minor injury, Abate returned from injury and was scheduled to start by Allegri.

In the starting line-up, Allegri surprisingly used Andrea Pirlo as a midfielder, while the formation was a 4-1-3-2 attacking formation, with four defenders Antonini, Nesta, Thiago Silva, Abate, Pirlo at the back, three forward Chen Zhuo, Robinho and Cassano, and forwards Ibrahimovic and Ruud van Nistelrooy.

In addition to Chen Zhuo, the other four of the five attackers have La Liga experience, among which Robinho, Cassano and Vanney are all veterans of Real Madrid.

The most important point is that although the lineup of this 4-1-3-2 and the big win over Parma is the same, but the nature is completely different, the three forwards of that game are three interception-type midfielders in front of Pirlo, and the three forwards of this game In addition to Chen Zhuo, Robinho and Cassano are the type of heavy attack and light defense!

As soon as this lineup arrangement came out, many media exclaimed that Allegri was "crazy".

Politically and geographically, Madrid is the heart of Spain. In this regard, some people have joked: if the map of Spain is made into a plywood. Thread a thread from this point in Madrid, and when you pull the thread, the plywood is perfectly parallel to the ground. This is an exaggeration, but there is no doubt that Madrid is the premier city in Spain in many areas.

The Bernabeu Stadium and Real Madrid's "Galaxy Fleet" were once the mecca of football, but in recent years, Real Madrid's performance has not matched this holy place, especially the poor performance of the Champions League, which makes people fully feel that burning money is just a bunch of bubbles.

Real Madrid have never reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League in the last three seasons. In the 07/09 season, they were beaten by Roma in the quarter-finals. In the 08/09 season, they were beaten by Liverpool and suffered a 0-4 defeat away from home, and in the 09/10 season, they were beaten by Lyon with one draw and one loss, and only this season under the leadership of Jose Mourinho did Real Madrid make a breakthrough. In the quarter-finals, one draw and one win beat Lyon. Avenged last season's one-shot kill. Advance to the quarterfinals.

In fact, in the group stage of this season, Real Madrid and AC Milan have already played each other, and Real Madrid's record is 1 win and 1 draw. Unbeaten against Milan.

In particular, in the 2010 AC Milan home win over Real Madrid, both goals were scored by the veteran Inzaghi, who also wrote a new chapter in the Champions League at the age of 37.

Those two games, Chen Zhuo, who was still in Genoa, missed.

Mourinho is cautious about Allegri's "madness", even if everyone thinks that this kind of attack is more beneficial to Real Madrid, but Mourinho, who is familiar with Serie A, knows very well that for Serie A teams, defensive counterattack is something that is integrated into their blood, if Real Madrid starts attacking with this formation, it is likely to fall into the trap of the Italians!

For Mourinho, the most important thing in the contest between the two giants is who can play what he is good at!

Real Madrid's formation is still the 4-3-3 that Mourinho is good at, with the four defenders in front of goalkeeper Casillas being Ramos, Pepe, Carvalho and Marcelo, Khedira and Alonso at the back, Di Maria at the front, Cristiano Ronaldo on the left, Ozil on the right, and Adebayo on the center.

On the weekend of April 3, Real Madrid also had a league game, compared to AC Milan who tried their best to defeat the strong rival Inter Milan 3:0, Mourinho hid almost all the main players in that game, and played as a substitute to lose 0:1 to Sporting Gijón, this defeat also ended Mourinho's own record of 150 home games unbeaten in charge of the team.

All preparations are to beat AC Milan and take another step in the Champions League, and for Mourinho, the only reason he was brought in by Real Madrid's management is to help Real Madrid win the Champions League trophy.

At the beginning of the game, the two sides fought fiercely in the midfield, and it was indeed an offensive battle.

In just three minutes of the opening game, Ronaldo announced Real Madrid's desire to attack in this game with two long-range shots from the periphery, but unfortunately both shots were off target.

In the fourth minute, Real Madrid took the lead when Mesut Ozil's cross from the right was met by Bam Adebayor and Di Maria's low shot from the edge of the box was blocked. Mesut Ozil then took a corner kick and Adebayo's header from 8 yards headed into the bottom left corner, Abbiati couldn't make a save, and the ball hit the leg of Ruud van Nistelrooy in front of the goal line and refracted into the net!

After the goal, Adebayo excitedly took off his shirt and ran around the field, showing the home fans the big "10" number on his T-shirt, this goal is his 10th Champions League goal, which is worth remembering.

In the 8th minute of the game, Ibrahimovic tackled Ramos when he was fighting for it, and was warned by the referee with a yellow card, which also caused huge boos from Real Madrid fans.

In the 10th minute, Mesut Ozil passed the ball and Marcelo fired wide from 25 yards, and so far, AC Milan, who were in an attacking formation, have not had a shot on goal.

2 minutes later, Adebayo tackled Cassano on the side and was given a yellow card, the goal was still in the AC Milan half, Chen Zhuo gave up a direct shot, but in the coordination Ibrahimovic's breakthrough was tackled by Marcelo, and there was still no shot on goal.

In the 15th minute, Ibrahimovic made another flying tackle in front, this time to retaliate against Marcelo, who was suspected of a foul when he had just robbed himself, and this foul also caused Ibrahimovic to be directly sent off with a red card by the German referee Brich, who enforced the Champions League for the 12th time!

The red card is also a record, with the previous record for the fastest time to be sent off in the Champions League was 20 minutes. Now Ibrahimovic has set that record in the red.

In the first 15 minutes, the attacking formation not only did not win by surprise, but fell behind 0:1, and after Ibrahimovic was sent off, it became a 10-man game, and the situation of AC Milan was not ordinarily bad!

In the 19th minute, Abate fouled Ronaldo, and the referee awarded Real Madrid a free kick again. The enforcement of the law by the German referee is very severe. However, the angle of this free kick is not good, the direct shot is very difficult, and Pirlo's complaints and yellow card application are of little significance.

22nd minute. Marcelo passes the ball after breaking through. Cristiano Ronaldo's shot from a tight angle on the left side of the box was saved by Gomez. In the ensuing counter-attack, Cassano's long-range shot from 30 yards out was easily collected by Casillas, and Allegri was very unhappy. Long-range shooting is not Cassano's strong point at all, this ball Cassano is not in such a hurry, use the side he is good at to break through and knock back, and Chen Zhuo will be in place after a second or two!

In the 29th minute, Abate's powerful throw-in was thrown to Ruud van Nistelrooy near the penalty spot, Carvalho returned in time to destroy the ball, and Ruud van Nistelrooy's penalty from the ground in the box was ignored.

In the 30th minute, Pirlo made a long pass from the backfield, Robinho broke away from Ramos at a speed and burst into the left side of the penalty area, Pepe interfered in time, Robinho's shot hit the side netting, which was AC Milan's second shot, and it was relatively reluctant.

In the 32nd minute, Marcelo crossed from the left, Ramos crossed the ball from a distance, and Adebayo missed a close-range header on the other side.

In the 34th minute, C-Ronaldo passed, and Di Maria's low shot from around 25 meters was saved by Gomez.

In the 38th minute, Pepe tackled Cassano at the bottom line position on the side and was yellow carded, the angle was too small, Chen Zhuo chose a free kick cross, and Vanney grabbed the landing point, but unfortunately the header was deflected.

In the 40th minute, Ronaldo's free kick from 30 meters went straight wide, but Real Madrid player Marcelo headed the ball, and Adebayo volleyed from 12 yards, and the ball was blocked by Abbiati.

In the 42nd minute, Ronaldo crossed from the left, Di Maria's shot in the arc of the penalty area was blocked by Chen Zhuo with his arm on the edge of the penalty area, the referee thought that Chen Zhuo did not open his arms, this was a handball, so it was not punished, which allowed AC Milan to escape, and this penalty also caused the home team fans to boo, the game did not stop, but the fast insertion of Ozil on the edge of the penalty area missed the goal.

In the 45th minute, when Casillas destroyed the ball with a big foot, the ball was off the bottom line of his side, giving AC Milan a corner kick, Chen Zhuo's corner kick was pushed by Nesta, and Casillas was held in his arms in the chaos.

In stoppage time of the half, C-Ronaldo's shot from 20 yards was blocked by Nesta, and by the end of the first half, the score was 1:0, but the shooting ratio of the two teams was 21 to 4, and it was completely impossible to see that Real Madrid and AC Milan were playing, but it was like Real Madrid teaching a team in the middle and lower reaches of La Liga.

"Zlatan does have some impulses, but it also shows his desire to win, don't be affected too much, Zlatan is in the league at the weekend, vent your anger!"

Allegri did not reprimand for Ibrahimovic's red card and the passivity that this impulse brought to the team, but also comforted him at the right time, and then Allegri said: "10 men, one goal down, yes, we are passive, and this is still at the opponent's home field, in the famous Bernabeu ......"

As he spoke, looking around, Allegri said: "In terms of tactics, we have repeatedly discussed before the game that blindly defending will only make them more arrogant, and we have set the goal of playing against them at the Bernabeu, if not winning, at least to score away goals!" Ruud van Nistelrooy, Cassano, Robinho, this used to be your home stadium, there are still your fans in the stands, do you have the momentum to return as a king? ”

Zuihou looked at Chen Zhuo, and Allegri said: "Patton, this is your first time playing at the Bernabeu, don't you feel like you need a goal to make the first game at the Bernabeu unforgettable?" (To be continued......)
