Under the Tuscan sun, the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore stands tall. This is Florence, the holy land of the Renaissance, Xu Zhimo translates as "Fei Leng Cui", which originally means "flower capital" in Italian.

Florence is not far from Milan, only more than 280 kilometers, this game Saoirse drove here with Zhan Hong and Zhan Song, one is to take their two sisters and brothers to watch the game away, the other is to take Zhan Hong and Zhan Song to visit their school, after coming to Italy, Zhan Hong's thoughts have also changed, she wants to read law like Saoirse, recently when teaching Zhan Hong Italian, Saoirse let Zhan Hong watch an Italian legal TV series, and the female lawyer in the play fascinated Zhan Hong.

Chen Zhuo can't accompany them, the whole April is a high-intensity game month, Chen Zhuo and most of the main players live in the Nello base, this month's post-game day off was also canceled, changed to recovery training, after all, 7 to 8 games to play in 30 days, and more than half of them are away, and if you have a holiday, the training time will not be squeezed out.

This was Chen Zhuo's first visit to the famous Italian city, but unfortunately he did not have time to stay at all, the team arrived here by bus the afternoon before the game, and returned immediately after the game.

Seven or eight games in 30 days in April would be unthinkable without rotation, but it's only in this multi-frontal phase that the depth of the bench will shine through.

After beating Inter Milan 3-0 with the main squad and scoring three away goals from Real Madrid, the away game against Fiorentina. Allegri has rotated his squad and has taken the league lead over second-placed Inter Milan to eight points, so Allegri can breathe a sigh of relief and not have to fight so hard.

In a back four, Nesta and Antonini were sidelined, with Thiago Silva and Papa partnering at centre-back, while Zambrotta and Abate started at left and right wing-backs.

Back in the league, Allegri abandoned his unsuccessful attempt at Real Madrid and put Andrea Pirlo on the bench again, sending Gattuso, Seedorf and Van Bommel on the back three. Of the three players, Gattuso and Seedorf rotated against Real Madrid. Van Bommel came off the bench so they were well preserved.

In the front trident, Chen Zhuo was put on the bench, and Robinho played as the forward midfielder. The two strikers were partnered by Ibrahimovic, who returned to the league, and Pato, who came off the bench in the last game and hit a goal.

At the pre-match press conference. A reporter asked Allegri about the Fiorentina coach's nickname "Milan's nemesis". Allegri spoke with ease and confidence about the two games in the first half of the season, one was Milan's narrow 1-0 home win over Fiorentina, and the other was Chen Zhuo's "Victoria maneuver" in Genoa's home win over Fiorentina. The implication. Fiorentina coach Del Rio Rossi's nickname as Milan's nemesis is just history.

Overall, Milan were in a bit of trouble in the game, as Fiorentina striker Mutu, known as the "Romanian Viper", scored with a header from a corner kick in the opening 10 minutes and kept the lead until the end of the first half.

It's still Gilardino and Mutu together, and it's still the "retro 3-5-2" and "4-4-1-1" changes, and Del Rio Rossi doesn't play with too many new things.

At the beginning of the second half, Allegri first replaced Zambrotta with Antonini, and in the first half, Zambrotta was plotted by Gilardino during the battle for the top near the penalty area, which may have caused an old injury, although the team doctor checked that there was no major problem, but for overall considerations, Allegri still replaced him.

Only 4 minutes into the second half, Antonini passed the ball to Pato on the left, Pato shook off Zanetti with the ball at high speed, and then used his speed to press Donadale into the penalty area, Zuihou hit Fiorentina goalkeeper Sebastien Frei with the outside of his right foot 12 meters from the left, and after the ball was blocked by Frei, Ibrahimovic scored with a right-footed shot from 6 meters to make the score 1-1.

The game then entered a stalemate, Chen Zhuo came on to replace Seedorf with 15 minutes of play, Allegri adjusted the formation to 4-2-1-3, with Van Bommel and Gattuso as the two midfielders to carry out defensive interceptions, Chen Zhuo organized the attack, Pato, Ibrahimovic and Robinho launched a frantic attack on the opponent's goal.

In the 81st minute of the game, five or six minutes after Chen Zhuo came on the field, Ibrahimovic broke through the middle and was violated by the opponent, AC Milan won the fourth free kick in front of the game, and the first three Ibrahimovic free kicks were missed.

The final score was also fixed at 2-1, AC Milan won from a comeback, and the best player of the game was awarded to Ibrahimovic, and Chen Zhuo, who scored in three consecutive games in April, was also given a high score by the media even though he only played 15 minutes.

The 32nd round of Serie A on 10 April and the penultimate round of the season saw Inter Milan win this round, still eight points behind AC Milan after beating Chievo 2-0 after losing the battle for the top spot in their last fixture. Although the 8-point lead is not particularly large, it is not easy to easily surpass the past.

On April 6, AC Milan lost 3-4 to Real Madrid away, Inter Milan was defeated by the Bundesliga Schalke 04 team in an incredible 5-2 at Meazza home, three goals behind, Schalke 04 still has as many as 5 away goals, which means that Inter Milan needs to beat the opponent 4-0 at Schalke 04's home stadium to advance! Barring a miracle, Inter's elimination is a foregone conclusion.

In this Champions League, the Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich were eliminated by Inter Milan in the quarterfinals, and now Schalke defeated Inter Milan with a score of 04, which can be regarded as defending the honor of the Bundesliga.

In four of the eight-to-four games, Manchester United and Chelsea have reached 1-0. The other three games were all big scores, with Real Madrid beating AC Milan 4-3 at home, Schalke 04 beating Inter Milan 5-2 away and Barcelona beating Shakhtar Donetsk 5-1 at home.

In the second round of the Champions League quarterfinals on April 14, in addition to Manchester United-Chelsea and Real Madrid-AC Milan, Inter Milan and Shakhtar Donetsk have been considered powerless.

Compared with the match between Manchester United and Chelsea, Real Madrid's away game against AC Milan has attracted more attention from the whole shijie.

April 10 was also a matchday in La Liga, with Jose Mourinho using a rotating line-up to beat Athletic Bilbao 3-0 away.

Unlike AC Milan, who have dominated Serie A, Real Madrid are second in La Liga, eight points behind leaders Barcelona. This gap is also the point gap between AC Milan and Inter Milan.

Mourinho's life has not been easy. Real Madrid, who are playing in the league, the Champions League and the Spanish Copa del Rey, are under strong pressure from Barcelona.

Against Real Madrid, both sides were injured, with AC Milan's Gattuso and Ibrahimovic suspended. Real Madrid's Pepe was also suspended for accumulating yellow cards. In fact, even if he doesn't stop, Pepe won't be able to play. In the first round, Pepe was retaliated by Chen Zhuo for a foul on Chen Zhuo, and it will take at least a week to recover.

It is worth mentioning that Ronaldo is still close to suspension. If he gets another yellow card in this game, he will miss the first leg of the semi-final, but Mourinho can't care so much and will only want to secure the result first.

Ronaldo deliberately designed a classical hairstyle, his hair is shiny and shiny, and the whole person looks very energetic. This made the Milan fans a little uncomfortable, and they sent Ronaldo a loud boo.

Of course, the louder boos must have been given to Mourinho, who was booed by the AC Milan fans as soon as he stepped onto the field. Two female fans were quite excited, and they provoked Mu Shuai: one laughed at Mu Shuai with his thumb down, and the other scolded Mu Shuai directly.

Jose Mourinho has made Milan fans love and hate. Inter Milan fans cheered for Mourinho's arrival all night, while AC Milan fans hated him so much that some female fans insulted the "madman" with gestures.

This is not the first time that Mourinho has been humiliated by fans, and when he played away to Real Sociedad in the Spanish league in September, Mourinho was constantly "greeted" by the opposing fans. Some fans chanted "Portuguese, bitch-raised" and, to make matters worse, some spat on Mourinho.

However, Mu Shuai, who has long been accustomed to seeing big scenes, was unmoved, he always kept a smile on his face, and then calmly stretched out three fingers in response to the provocation. The "3" gesture seems to refer to the treble that led Inter Milan to last season, which is exactly what AC Milan fans are most angry about. They were completely enraged, not only booing Mourinho during the game, but also constantly shaking the red and green laser pointers at Mourinho's face.

Against Real Madrid, Allegri abandoned an unsuccessful attempt in Madrid and reverted to a 4-3-1-2 formation, with Chen Zhuo starting as a central midfielder, Pato and Cassano as the two strikers, and Ruud van Nistelrooy and Robinho, who started in the league, on the bench.

The back three were Van Bommel, Seedorf and Boateng, with Andrea Pirlo and Ambrosini on the bench waiting to be called.

The back four started with Antonini, Nesta, Thiago Silva and Abate, with goalkeepers Abbiati, Papa and Zambrotta on the bench for this game.

Two matches have been played on 13 April, with Barcelona beating Shakhtar Donetsk 1-0 away and meeting the winner of Real Madrid and AC Milan in the semi-finals, while Manchester United beat Chelsea 2-1 at home in the other side of the Premier League derby to advance to the semi-finals over two legs 3-1, where they will face the winner of Schalke 04 and Inter Milan.

What is puzzling is that Leonardo did not give up the Champions League, and he still played the main force in Germany this time, perhaps still expecting a miracle in his heart.

With the referee's whistle, AC Milan's home match against Real Madrid began, and Chen Zhuo, whose nose was still a little swollen, was very excited. (To be continued......)
