This game is very important for AC.

Not only the UEFA Champions League, but also the significance of various European teams, it is also related to the current situation of AC Milan in Serie A.

Since the 'phonegate' scandal in 2006, AC Milan's entire squad has been severely affected, and their domestic results have plummeted, leaving them third in Serie A behind Inter Milan and Roma.

Third place in Serie A is a remarkable result for many teams, which means they will be able to represent Italy in the Champions League next year, but it is a difficult result for AC Milan to accept.

AC Milan fans want a resurgence of the team.

In a situation where the league is difficult to compete, the Champions League results are very important for them.

AC Milan are Champions League champions and every fan wants them to reach the last four of the Champions League again, which is enough to prove that AC Milan is still a European giant, the best team in the world.

So AC Milan fought fiercely on the field!

That gave the City players the illusion that it was not the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, but a decisive final. They are under a lot of pressure defensively, and they have to face tough fighting against AC in attack.

They felt that the fight was a lot harder than the first leg.

Manchester City's attack and defense under Morris are not much weaker than AC Milan.

Manchester City gives people the feeling of a 'stable' word, all kinds of passes are played very steadily when attacking, and they will not suddenly lose the ball because of tension and pressing, and the defense is also very stable.

This kind of attack and defense also makes AC Milan feel very difficult.

Both teams played very well in the opening game, and everyone on the field was working hard.

AC Milan had a bit of luck.

In the 25th minute, striker Pato received a pass from Andrea Pirlo and knocked on the door with a diagonal volley.

“Goal！！！”

After this goal, the Italian commentator couldn't help but shout, "Pato helped AC Milan score!" Now that the aggregate score is 2:2, Manchester City only has an away goal advantage left! ”

――――

AC Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti sat in the dugout, staring at the game on the pitch seriously, and when he saw Pato score, he stood up and clapped his hands, and a smile appeared on his face.

Carlo Ancelotti was very pleased with the performance of his players on the pitch, but he was also somewhat complacent about his adjustment to targeted tactics.

As early as ten days ago, Ancelotti began to watch the video of the game against Manchester City over and over again, hoping to find the best way to deal with Manchester City, but Manchester City's 'complex' tactics and various routines are really difficult to find real weaknesses.

Eventually, Carlo Ancelotti decided to tackle City with a tough, simple style of play.

Defense, that is, the inherent defensive formation and tough scramble, offense, is to go through more direct passes, and rely more on the individual performance of the frontcourt players.

For some small clubs, it is difficult to have any effect by adopting this style of play, after all, when the player's ability is not very strong, it is very impractical to rely entirely on the player's play, but for AC Milan, any style of play can be effective, rather than training those complex tactical responses, it is better to use the most difficult style of play to be effective.

Pato's goal was the result of a tactical change.

The goal just now, the offensive side relied on the individual play of Pirlo and Kaka, Pirlo's through pass was very unexpected, before that, Kaka passed Silva's breakthrough and also played a great role, so in the end, Pato got a chance in the penalty area, he faced Dunn's defense, calmly sent the ball into the goal.

This is a goal scored by the player's individual performance, which may not seem to have much to do with tactics, but in fact, in football, player ability can often be counted as part of tactics.

The player's performance also depends on the tactics.

AC Milan's tactics give the players more room to play individually, which is why they can perform so well.

Seeing the goal, Carlo Ancelotti became more confident in his style of play and he began to look forward to the next performance of his team.

――――

Wan Sheng sat in the coach's seat and felt helpless when he saw Pato's goal.

That's what a star is capable of.

In football, many times star players can play an unimaginable role, and they can produce goals with an occasional performance, directly achieving the purpose of various complex tactical routines.

But compared to the individual ability of the players, is Manchester City inferior?

When the camera pointed over, the corners of Wan Sheng's mouth skimmed, revealing a chuckle, he was not moved by the opponent's goal at all.

Wan Sheng is quite confident in the team.

In this game, he also made a tactical adjustment, or rather, he made a little adjustment to the tactics of the last game against AC Milan - adding a central defender and a midfielder.

In the last game, the team performed very well, but the shortcomings were still obvious, that is, the lack of defensive ability in front of goal, and in the midfield, with the central combination of Silva, Darren Bent, Mesut Ozil and Morris, Martin Petrov and Ivan Crewe on the wing were greatly limited, and most of the time, they could not participate in the attack.

So in this game, Wan Sheng simply replaced Martin Petrov and only let the other five players play, Ozil and Ivan Crewe played on both sides, and the other three played in the middle.

The team's midfield control has not weakened, and the defense has increased a lot in comparison, so the strength that the team can play can only be stronger than the previous game, not weaker than the previous game.

What if AC Milan scores a goal?

The game is 90 minutes long!

Wansheng believes that the team's performance will not disappoint him, which is a confidence in all the players, and it is also an absolute confidence.

――――

Pato's goal boosted AC Milan's morale!

The Milan fans who came to the Manchester stadium shouted a lot louder.

After the resumption of the game, AC Milan also launched a rapid attack, hoping to win Manchester City in one go.

But actually, when they did, they found that it felt no different than before, and they still struggled against City's solid defence and sharp attack.

It is not easy for the offense to break through the defense, and the opponent's attack also dazzles them, and they don't know how to defend to make the goal more solid.

It was at this moment that Ozil stepped forward!

Mesut Ozil played as a left wing-back, a position he rarely played.

Wan Sheng did not ask him to be a qualified left wing-back, but to play according to his own style of play when attacking, only the defense needs to run according to the formation.

So Mesut Ozil was still very active in the game, this time he relied on his own skills, running wildly from the left, almost diagonally in the direction of the penalty area, and his dribbling pulled AC Milan's defence, AC Milan had to separate people to intercept.

It was at this point that Mesut Ozil and Darren Bent completed a wall-to-wall combination.

Mesut Ozil runs off the ball and shakes off Gattuso!

Morris's ball was accurately passed, and Ozil won the ball with his left foot to make an outside instep arc!

The ball made a very clear arc, bypassing goalkeeper Karachi's ten fingers and diving headlong into AC Milan's net!

――――

"Ozil!"

"Mesut-Ozil—"

“Goooooooooooooooooooooal！！！”

British BBC radio and television commentator Ryan John shouted excitedly, "Ozil! Ozil! He helped Manchester City score, 3-2, and Manchester City re-established their advantage on aggregate! ”

"Ozil did a pretty job! He ran wildly with the ball from the wing, causing the AC Milan defense to suddenly mess up! ”

'Maurice's pass was beautiful and the ball rolled right in front of Mesut Ozil.

"This superb shot also showed the skill of the German kid at the feet, Karachi had no way to deal with this shot, he made a save, but he couldn't get the ball ...... at all"

Amid the shouts of the commentators, Manchester Stadium became a sea of cheers.

Every Manchester City fan was screaming and cheering on City's goal.

At this time, many AC Milan fans couldn't help but start to miss their main goalkeeper Dida.

Dida has been injured this season and has only made 10 appearances for AC Milan since the start of the season, so as a backup goalkeeper, Carraci was given his chance.

Seeing this goal, many AC Milan fans thought, "If Dida plays, he can successfully save the ball, right?" ”

This is the self-consolation of Milan fans, and Karachi is only the one who has been implicated in the goal.

Wan Sheng dismissed this.

Ozil's shot just now is very standard, even if he is a world-class goalkeeper, if he wants to save this goal, he has to 'play at a super level', even Dida is no exception, not to mention, the Brazilian international is old, it is really hard to say whether he can have a 'world-class level'.

In addition, Wansheng also knows Karachi well.

In the season when he coached Derby County, Oakes left Manchester United, Wan Sheng brought Karachi from Italy, and when he performed normally, Karachi was still quite level, the only problem was that he was in unstable form, but in the two games with Manchester City, Karachi did not have the problem of being in unstable form, and his performance was still quite calm and spicy.

Such a carraci is no worse than Dida, this goal is replaced by Dida as the goalkeeper, and the goal will be scored as well.

AC Milan didn't take much of the blow from Mesut Ozil's goal, and in fact, even if City were back in the lead, they were much better now than they had started because they had an away goal.

If AC Milan can score a second goal to level the scores, they will be tally equal to two away goals.

1-2 at home and 2-1 away, they tied the score, tied the goal difference, and it was enough to drag the game into extra time.

Therefore, the Italian media still has great hopes for AC Milan to advance, "Even if Manchester City scores a goal, there is still a lot of suspense in the game, as long as AC Milan can score another goal, the two teams will stand on the same ......running line again" (to be continued. )
