Chapter 54: Champions League I

Berlusconi and his AC Milan finally blew up Fiorentina and Liverpool with a cheeky skin, speaking of which, Liverpool is also a giant team at the same level as AC Milan.

But this time, it was not still overshadowed by AC Milan, the reason for this is because AC Milan has the ability to influence the Italian Football Association, and the English FA has not known what a protection policy is since the day it was established.

"The Football Association is helping the team to reduce the pressure and create the most preparation environment, but what is our FA doing, still living in the gentlemanly style of the last century! That's what differentiates us! ”

Benitez, Liverpool's manager, can only complain about AC Milan, and the same can do about the English FA, there is nothing he can do but complain.

Benitez's whining won't change anything, and UEFA can't change the timing of the Champions League final.

On Wednesday, AC Milan and Liverpool will play the Champions League final, having scored 11 goals in this season's Champions Cup, Kaka, who leads the scorer list, will undoubtedly be the focus of attention, and this is the first time Kaka has been the focus of a game, before this game, Kaka gave an interview to FIFA, talking about the final, talking about himself, talking about Degan, talking about his teammates, but also about the future.

'After being deducted eight points at the start of the season, we never thought we would be league winners, so we just wanted to be sure to qualify for next season's Champions Cup in third or fourth place, and from that point of view, we are taking the Champions Cup a little bit more seriously. It was a very difficult start to the season for AC Milan but overall it was a great season and reaching the final of the Champions League would be a big motivation for us. For myself, I think I can still improve, I do feel like I'm better than I used to, it's hard to say exactly where I need to improve, but I always think I can always improve and my goal is to prove that it's possible next season. ”

'Any player is very important for AC Milan, but if I had to pick a player among my team-mates who has the ability to change the game, I would say Seedorf is very important, especially when he is in great form. He played a great game against Bayern Munich and it was the same against Manchester United, so if you can do all that he did, then you're a great player. ”

'No, it's not like that, I don't think the game against Liverpool was a revenge game, Liverpool did beat us two years ago and so they won that trophy. Now, we have to show that we have what it takes to win the trophy as well, and my focus is only on how to win the game and not revenge. I hope to make history and make me and my club AC Milan name the winner of the UEFA Champions League in the 06/07 season. All the games are a thing of the past, it is useless to analyze what went wrong, the only thing that can prove itself is the current game. On the football pitch everything is possible, we have two years more experience now than then and since then we have played countless top games and that will benefit us, especially young players like me. ”

'I've watched Liverpool a lot of games this season and I think they're a very good team, tactically they are almost perfect, their manager is fantastic, plus they have a typical English spirit. Steven Gerrard is undoubtedly their playmaker and leader and I would be very happy if he doesn't play on Wednesday. ”

Kaka will undoubtedly be the focus of attention, and during a training session in Zuihou, his old friend Rivaldo, who is playing in the Greek league, also came to visit and cheer him on.

"No team is going to play man-to-man defence at this level and I think that's the case with this game. Two years ago I had the chance to win the European Champions Cup and I hope this time I can play a great game and go down in history as well. If we can repeat what we did in the first half against Manchester United, it will be difficult for any team against AC Milan. Thanks to Maldini and Costacuta for setting an example for the team, the team is always hungry for victory. ”

'I did score a lot of goals but scoring goals wasn't my goal, I'm the playmaker of the team and of course it's wonderful to score so many goals and in the final I only care about the team winning, not who scores for us.

Immediately after the reporter also asked about the transfer, now everyone knows that Real Madrid although Florentino has stepped down, but their superstar policy has not changed much, since the winter break, people have been hyped, Real Madrid hopes to bring in Kaka and Digan, so that the combination of the Wright brothers can reappear in Real Madrid.

'I've heard some rumours and people ask me a lot of questions, but as long as I've been playing for AC Milan, I've always given people the same answer: I'm on a contract until 2011, I'm going to keep it, and if AC Milan says they want to sell me, that's the only way I'll consider leaving. Of course, it would be wonderful to be able to play alongside Rhodes again! ”

'Rod is an unbelievable player, if you watch him play, you should feel that, he can do everything he wants to accomplish, when Rod left Milan last year it was a big blow to me, but I don't want to talk about it now, I just want to focus on the game and try to help the team win, I know, Rod wants that too, he has talked to me about it before, he wants AC Milan to be the winner of Zuihou, He won't be able to go to Athens to watch the game, but I know he'll be watching somewhere else! ”

Exciting moments are coming, the UEFA Champions League mystery is about to be revealed, and AC Milan manager Carlo Ancelotti and captain Maldini are looking ahead to the game at UEFA's press conference.

"It's not going to be a good game, but there's no doubt we're going to do everything we can, all my decisions have been made, and from a purely tactical point of view, AC Milan two years ago were a bit stronger, when we were considered 'normal' to reach the final, and for this team today it's extraordinary to reach the final and we want to bring the season to a perfect end," said Ancelotti. ”

Carlo Ancelotti believes it will not be easy for AC Milan to get out of the difficulties at the beginning of the season and reach the Champions League final, which symbolizes the highest level of European football: "We actually deserved the Champions League final more than any other team because we suffered difficulties that no other team had, we suffered penalties at the beginning of the season and we lost the opportunity to train before the season, if we were lucky enough to lift the trophy then it would be a real deal." It was certainly my toughest season in charge of AC Milan, but the team and the club proved their resolve and they deserved the title. ”

Speaking about the opponents, Carlo Ancelotti also said: "Gerrard is a good player, but you can't decide a game alone, and the same is true for AC Milan, our opponent is Liverpool, not Gerrard. As for me, I don't see myself as the leader of the team, but part of the team, when problems come we will come together to find solutions, we never make excuses and scapegoats, we just stick together to solve our problems so we can get stronger and stronger and get to the final. ”

Speaking of which, Ancelotti did not forget to satirize the coach of the city rival Inter Milan Mancini, everyone knows that Mancini's best thing to do is to find a scapegoat.

AC Milan are no strangers to Athens, where they beat Barcelona 4-0 in 1994 and the unbeatable Dream Team has since fallen apart, and this season, they lost to AEK Athens, Ancelotti said: "On this pitch we played against AEK Athens when we had three injuries and it was the most difficult moment of the season. ”

Before the game, Galliani had said that Ancelotti could be compared to Capello and Sacchi, to which the AC Milan coach smiled and said: "Galliani compared me to Capello and Sacchi, we are both doing well, AC Milan can appear in the Champions League final, it is the Liliang of Italian football, we are a very Italian team." ”

Captain Maldini calmly reflected on the extraordinary game 13 years ago: "I never felt crazy when I look back, this final is difficult to compare with the 1994 one, both AC Milan teams have extraordinary players, now we have Kaka, then we had Savicevic. ”

Yesterday, France coach Domenech once said that "if I had to decide, the Ballon d'Or should be awarded to Maldini", Maldini said with a smile: "In front of the final, the Ballon d'Or is not important, if I were to be concerned, no one deserves this award better than Kaka." It's going to be a memorable game and of course I see it a lot differently now than I did when I was 18 or 19. The most beautiful image in my mind is leading the team to lift the European Champions Cup in Manchester, and now I hope to repeat that classic image. ”

If Maldini is on the pitch, he will face Crouch, a giant striker who is more than two metres tall, and Maldini said: "In terms of high balls, Crouch is very difficult to contain, but I want to experience the thrill of playing at the top again. To be able to play in the Champions League final again and I am proud to be the captain of a team that has always been able to achieve this result. ”

With the decisive match in Athens on the horizon, even the AC Milan players who won't get the chance to play will enjoy the excitement, but for some, it may be the first time they have represented AC Milan in the highest level of competition in Europe.

According to Sport, after the European Champions Cup, whether you win or lose, the big change will begin, after Berlusconi has already spoken: "We will lower the average age of the team and build a more effective team." ”

In the goalkeeper position, one of Karachi and Storari will be gone, and now it seems that the Australian who has been offered a new contract could be the lucky one, and Storari will eventually lose in this PK.

At the back, in addition to Costacuta's certain retirement, All Markets also named Simic and Grimi, with the Argentine set to be loaned to a smaller club where he could get more appearances, while Simic will also look for a place where he can better reflect his value.

In the midfield, it is surprising that the Frenchman Gourcuff was listed on loan, although Gourcuff himself has repeatedly said that he is very adaptable and has made progress in AC Milan, but after all, he has not played many opportunities in the team, which has affected his development, and the speed of improvement is not as fast as expected, AC Milan hopes that he will get more training, and Gourcuff should be able to find a mid-to-upper field that will get the main position.

Another surprise is Brockie, he is also negotiating with AC Milan management, his stay has not yet been determined, judging from the performance of this season, the main players in the first half of the season are not in good shape, Brockie has become one of the pillars of the midfield, in the second half of the season Pirlo, Gattuso and others are in good shape, Brockie is in a state of decline, and the opportunity to play is gradually decreasing. Brockie's role is still that of a substitute, but he is a reliable substitute and the club want him to stay as long as he accepts the position himself.

Up front, Borriello is definitely gone, and Oliveira, who has been a disappointment for a season, is definitely leaving.

Another previously unanticipated departure option is Serginho, who was once the favorite of Silvio Berlusconi and Carlo Ancelotti, and has performed well in many Milan derbys.

However, the Brazilian also found it difficult to adapt to the intense competition and two-front battle after a serious injury, so he wanted to get permission to play at other clubs, and AC Milan will allow him to leave the club for zero price.

Storari, Costacuta, Simic, Grimi, Oliveira, Borriello, Serginho, and even possible Gourcuff, Brocki, although Cafu and Dida stayed in the team, AC Milan's summer departure list also reached 7 to 9 people, so many people left, there must be corresponding players introduced, although this season AC Milan turned the tide through the excellent performance in the second half of the season, it seems that a marginal change is still inevitable.

However, AC Milan has been shouting for so many years, what is the result?

When the new season starts, people still see those old faces, and Digan knows Berlusconi's temperament very well, after all, he knows the transfer results of AC Milan every season in the future.

On the day of the match, Digan did not go to Athens to cheer for Kaka on the spot, as Kaka said, but made an appointment with Albertini to meet at a local bar in Florence.

Degan was a few minutes late, and when he showed up at the bar, he clutched Kaka's number 22 red and black shirt at AC Milan and sat down with his shirt on his body, keeping his eyes on the TV screen as the game began.

Like Digan, Albertini also wore the long-lost red and black shirt today, and the two appeared in the bar without feeling abrupt, and everyone here knows the inextricable connection between the two and AC Milan.

"Rod! You're late! ”

Degan smiled: "Demi! You should know the terrible traffic conditions here! ”

Digan said and sat down, watching the game start, not knowing weishenme, he was actually a little nervous, and after he entered the game plot, he gradually relaxed, with a confident smile on his face.

"I called Ricardo this morning and he said he was calm."

Deegan spoke casually, keeping an eye on every pass from Milan, occasionally stomping his feet in anticipation of Dida's thrilling saves, and holding a bottle of guarana in his hand, a Brazilian delicacy.

"Milan looked relaxed today!"

Deegan nodded: "They are indeed relaxed, but a good mentality does not mean anything, if Milan want to win, they must play at least 1:0 in the first half, so that the second half is decided." ”

In the 43rd minute, Kaka was fouled on the edge of the box, Milan won a free-kick, Pirlo's free-kick, which was hit by Inzaghi's chest, and AC Milan scored.

"What am I talking about, isn't it 1:0?"

Deegan said proudly: "Both teams are a little scared, and neither team wants to come out first. Now that Milan have upset that balance, Liverpool had to attack in the second half, but the lesson of 2005 taught Milan that they must not allow a reversal! ”

Albertini also smiled: "I hope you are right!" ”

Deegan smiled confidently, of course he was right, at least the game has been going on so far, everything is the same as in his previous life.

In fact, in the second half, Degan was also a little nervous, especially after Liverpool scored a goal, with five minutes left in the game, Degan held his breath and Albertini said he couldn't listen to what he said.

"Demi! Don't bother me now! ”

As a result, AC Milan still won, the only difference from the previous life is that in the previous life, AC Milan won a 2:1 against Liverpool, Inzaghi scored two goals, and now looking at the score displayed on the TV screen 3:1, Kaka locked the score at 3:1 in the Zuihou moment, and his goals in the Champions League this season have also increased to 12.

Now, Kaka's Shijie Footballer and the Golden Ball Award should be fine.

'A haode season is not necessarily convincing, a trophy is the last word, and now no one is a rival to Ricciardo and if that doesn't guarantee him an election, it's unfair."

When German referee Van Del blew the final whistle and the scoreboard was fixed at "Milan 2:1 Liverpool", Digan did not jump like the others, his first reaction was to grab his phone and send a few text messages.

Albertini smiled and looked, but Degan dodged it.

"I can't show you, it's something that belongs to our brothers, all right! Demy! It's time for me to go, remember there's one game left in the league, Demy! Is it really no longer a thought about it? ”

Albertini knew that Digan was talking about his retirement, and shook his head with a smile: "No! I've decided that I've had a good enough football career and that I have won so many trophies since I left Milan, I don't have any regrets, now I just want to spend more time with my family. ”

Digan knew that he couldn't convince Albertini, and although he felt sorry, he was not ready to say anything more: "Alright! I respect your decision, but don't regret a game for zuihou! ”

After speaking, Digan said hello to a few familiar Fiorentina fans and left first.

AC Milan beat Liverpool 3-1, and although the game was not pretty, a victory was enough in this winner-or-lose final.

From the point of view of the final itself, Inzaghi's "deflected Pirlo free-kick" to break the deadlock had an element of luck, but throughout the process of AC Milan's victory, there were inevitable factors.

Although AC Milan defeated Liverpool and won the Champions Cup, Ancelotti also admitted after the game that AC Milan's performance was a little abnormal.

AC Milan were passive in the first half, and it was only in the 16th minute that AC Milan had their first shot on goal, while Inzaghi's goal before the end of the first half was only AC Milan's second shot, while on the other side, Liverpool had seven shots on goal and three were a real threat.

Liverpool had 17 shots on goal and AC Milan had just seven shots on goal throughout the game, and AC Milan often made simple mistakes when it came to passing.

Silvio Berlusconi said that "the pressure made the players play a little out of shape", while the newspaper "Milan Sport" believes that it was Benitez's tactics that stifled AC Milan's performance, whatever the reason, compared to the mercury attack in 2005, AC Milan did play a little ugly today, but as Carlo Ancelotti said: "This is football." ”

On the football field, good play often leads to satisfactory results, but this rule is not 100% effective. Two years ago in Istanbul, AC Milan led 3-0 at half-time with a brilliant performance, and after conceding three goals in those six minutes, AC Milan regained the initiative, but Shevchenko's successive shots in front of the goal were almost blocked by Dudek, but only six minutes of mental short-circuiting wasted the rest of the team's efforts.

On the contrary, Inzaghi's goal to break the deadlock was somewhat fortunate in today's game, and in fact the better side on the pitch and the more dominant side was Liverpool, but it was AC Milan who won the game.

Luck is a scale, he can't always be on the side of one team, and over a long period of time, the factor of luck has an equal impact on any team.

Two years ago, Liverpool's luck was too good, AC Milan's luck was too bad, and this time it's the other way around, Liverpool is "paying off the debt". Serendipity is the greatest charm of football.

It is best to be able to win beautifully, just like AC Milan eliminated Manchester United 3:0, but the team cannot always maintain the same form in a long season, beautiful football does not necessarily bring victory, compared to Istanbul two years ago, AC Milan is not as good as it was at that time in terms of personnel, but in terms of concentration on the game, it has played to the extreme, which may be what the AC Milan team in Istanbul two years ago lacked, those six minutes, AC Milan lost focus on the game, As a result, the whole effort was ruined, and the victory does not necessarily need to be brilliant, but it must not be missed.

'Now we're celebrating, Liverpool are crying, whereas two years ago it was the opposite.'

Gattuso said excitedly after the game that in the past two years, AC Milan and Liverpool have interpreted a strange reincarnation, no one can always be favored by God, and the winner is not the most Haode team, such things do not account for the majority on the football field, but they happen from time to time.

Regarding this game, after the game, Ancelotti naturally also commented on the performance of the players, but he was the first person to mention, which made people feel a little surprised.

Ambrosini!

A Rossoneri loyalist, a somewhat obscure player on the pitch, but Carlo Ancelotti had a lot of respect for Ambrosini's performance in today's game.

"What does Ambrosini bring to the team?"

A week before the start of the game, Carlo Ancelotti was asked this question in an interview with reporters.

The Milan coach at the time gave a detailed explanation: "Massimo can make the team stronger, more fighting, have more aerial balls in the game, and his appearance has helped Seedorf and Kaka a lot. Because of Ambrosini, they are able to move more freely on the field, and now they don't have to retreat as often as before. ”

At the Athens Olympics, one saw an Ambrosini of steel and all the good things he brought to AC Milan.

Defensively, Ambrosini's presence has stifled Liverpool's chances of another miracle, and he has filled in the few flaws Milan have left.

Compared to the final two years ago, Kaka's maturity and Inzaghi's old-fashioned spiciness are comparable to the combination of Shevchenko and Crespo, and the most crucial change for Milan is the consistency of the midfield.

Weak midfielders and poor defences are two of Milan's long-standing flaws, and they need a tall, tough sapper to protect them, especially against teams with obvious physical advantages, and the only one in Milan's squad who can meet the requirements is Ambrosini. After 90 minutes of fighting with Liverpool, Ambrosini played to his strengths.

On defense, Ambrosini became the first bastion of Milan's air defense. Liverpool's attacking approach from the opening was often to find Gerrard and Kuyt with long passes, and transition from their headers to the wings, which did not have much effect.

However, due to the interference of Ambrosini's scramble, Kuyt and others did not have an obvious header advantage, although Liverpool was as long as a forest, there were not many effective aerial bombardments in the penalty area, except for Agg's header in a corner kick in the second half, and the rest of the time did not replicate the success of Bayern's air raid against Milan.

However, Liverpool's ground attack was just as aggressive, struggling to find their way into the box, and there were several long-range shooters waiting for their way from the perimeter. Liverpool's 17 shots were mostly from distance, and let's not forget that Mitchell used it to score from distance two years ago.

This time the Liverpool players were not so good, with Steven Gerrard, Marcos Alonso, Reiser and Crouch all having high-quality shots, but none of them really threatened the Milan goal.

Ambrosini's positional sense and coverage in the middle worked well, especially in the 53rd minute, when Maldini made a mistake and Pennant was about to volley with his left foot, Ambrosini made a ferocious sliding tackle to intercept the ball head-on.

In the semi-final against Manchester United, fans can often see Ambrosini 'sweeping' at the top of the arc, and whether he blocks the ball or not, he is quite effective in disrupting long-range shooters.

In several head-to-head conversations with Alonso, Ambrosini was not at a disadvantage, and although the Milan defense made several mistakes, Ambrosini remained solid and defended again and again to resolve the danger.

His presence has greatly eased the pressure on Gattuso, with the combination of two central midfielders making it difficult for Steven Gerrard to break through the middle to win a penalty as he did two years ago.

Liverpool's headers, long-range shots and Gerrard's insertion after these three magic weapons have been discounted, of course, the credit cannot all be attributed to Ambrosini, but Milan's overall defensive system has been improved because of Ambrosini, even if there are individual mistakes, there is also the ability to make up for it.

Once the defense system is stabilized, the biggest beneficiaries will be Pirlo, Seedorf and Kaka's attackers. Pirlo, in particular, was completely liberated to use his playmaking talents without having to exert his physical strength for defence.

In the middle of the second half, Pirlo was even between the striker and the midfielder, pressing Liverpool up front. Liverpool's midfield strangled Jihua very well, but Milan's attacking line was still not completely cut off, and Ambrosini took on some of Pirlo's tasks to make a smooth transition to central midfield.

The fit-for-health Ambrosini never disappoints, but the seemingly fit-fit Milan vice-team has long been plagued by injuries, often missing half a season, often hovering on the boundary between the main team and the substitutes, and unable to fully reflect its value.

Ambrosini played just three minutes in the 2003 final, missed Liverpool due to injury in 2005 and also failed to play in 2006 before finally becoming a protagonist in 2007.

As the vice-captain of the Milan club's high hopes, Ambrosini always struggled with injuries and fate, and he missed the Shijie Cup, but eventually won the trophy on his own. Tactically and temperamentally, Ambrosini is worthy of being Maldini's successor, and he is synonymous with the Rossoneri's tenacity.

The vice-captain performed well, and the captain also showed his strength in this game, contributing a huge liliang to AC Milan's championship.

After winning the UEFA Champions League, AC Milan captain Maldini declared the Rossoneri the best team in Italy, Europe and Shijie in the last 20 years.

The 38-year-old, who won the trophy for the sixth time and for the third time as captain, said AC Milan had been the best team in the last 20 years.

"For the last 20 years, we have been the best team in Italy, in Europe and in the whole of Shijie, and the cycle is still not over. We have something that other clubs don't have, and we have a special spirit. ”

While AC Milan's dominance in Italy's domestic league remains unclear, their all-time record in Europe is second only to Real Madrid. Over the past 20 years, AC Milan have won the Champions Cup six times, finished runners-up three times and reached the semi-finals nine times.

When a Zuihou Maldini walked up to the podium and lifted the championship trophy high, the excitement of revenge was written all over his face. Lifting the trophy for the sixth time, avenging the defeat he had won two years earlier, Maldini wrote the biggest stroke of his career.

Maldini was once again in the Champions League final, appearing in the stadium for the first time, and he also broke the record of Real Madrid legend Hento.

Maldini missed the second leg of the semi-final against Manchester United with a knee injury, but after an hour of play in the subsequent league game against Catania, he was clearly back in shape.

Although Maldini himself admits that he is not 100 per cent, recalling that night in Istanbul two years ago, setting the record for the fastest goal in a Champions League final, only to miss out on the title in the end, Maldini certainly needs to take revenge himself.

This is Maldini's 105th Champions League game, and on this day Maldini was 38 years and 331 days old, excluding Dino, who represented Juventus in the Champions League at 41 years and 86 days old. Zoff, Maldini is the oldest player in Europe to compete in the final.

In fact, Ancelotti's choice to start the horse team invisibly added another highlight to the game: the matchup between Maldini and Reina.

In today's football, there are only three players who have had the honour of having played in a Champions League final with both father and son, Maldini and Reina, as well as Spaniard Alexis Sanchis, who played for Real Madrid.

Although Maldini made a few passing errors during the game, it could not hide his credit. He also seemed to want to replicate the goal he scored two years ago, with Maldini opening the scoring with a strong sense of attack.

In the sixth minute, Milan's first corner, people saw Maldini's header. Defensively, Maldini is also remarkable.

In the ninth minute, Liverpool got their first chance of the game, and Pennant went on a solo trip, but Maldini made a timely return to interfere with the opponent.

In the 30th minute, Liverpool got a corner kick opportunity, and it was Maldini who grabbed the first point and cleared it successfully.

Although Kuyt's goal in the Zuihou moment was more or less related to Maldini's header, the moment the referee blew the final whistle, Maldini knew it was time to celebrate.

Speaking of celebrations, Maldini still had something to say, as the new UEFA president Michel Platini decided to present the award on the podium, but the team preferred to receive the award in the centre of the pitch, remembering the 2002/03 season when everyone celebrated in the centre of the pitch when Andriy Shevchenko scored a penalty.

In addition to his accolades, Maldini is a role model for all professional footballers. After the game, several European media outlets did not hesitate to leave the front page to the team, in their opinion, in his 23-year career, he has never lacked will, responsibility and belief, all of which have made him a bellwether in football.

In the eyes of the media, if Milan end up winning the title, then this year's Ballon d'Or award to Maldini is also a matter of course. However, Maldini still prefers Kaka to win the Ballon d'Or: "I'm also confused that I haven't won the Ballon d'Or, but since I haven't won it, I won't win it in 2007. In my opinion, there is no one more suitable for this award than Kaka. ”

AC Milan eventually got their revenge on Liverpool. The dramatic process of the competition and the luck component of the result verify the proverb: come out and mix, sooner or later, you have to pay it back.

Both coaches admit that Milan are down from two years ago, while Liverpool have grown, Milan's sexy football has waned, and Liverpool's materialization has reached its peak after knocking out Barcelona and Chelsea.

Secondly, Liverpool took the initiative from the beginning, dragged the game into its own rhythm, and got far more opportunities than Milan, Milan made low-level mistakes beyond the normal situation, placed in the Champions Cup final, in such a major event, it is obviously unacceptable, but Liverpool did not have the crosshairs of 3 goals in 6 minutes two years ago, but gave Milan all this efficiency and Dudek's luck.

When Inzaghi was accidentally hit by the ball and the ball redirected into the net, and when Gerrard received Gattuso's return pass past Nesta and was saved by Dida, the balance of the game had tipped sharply, just as Shevchenko's must-have header fell on Dudek in extra-time two years ago.

In terms of chances and the quality of shots on goal, Milan were not enough to overtake Liverpool. Benitez's handling of tactical details and grasp of the scene is better than Ancelotti's.

In short, the simple soccer combination of liliang, speed and jishu left Milan with nothing to do, the midfield was blocked when attacking, and the defense was exhausted, and playing jishu was no better than a tough opponent.

Liverpool's left central midfield forward, the forward header back to the midfield, the way to insert the shot into the midfield has been tried and tested, and the first two attacks were this routine.

Milan played a little bit in the second half, thanks to Nesta, Ambrosini, Kaka and other players who blended more styles. The three goals that Milan completed in the forced passivity were not too much to win, but the luck element was obvious, and most of the brilliance was less than the victory over Bayern and Manchester United.

But in any case, winning is the last word, and getting back what you lost the year before is actually compensating for yourself, not more gains. Winning the title in such an embarrassing situation this year makes Milan's season a great one.

Indeed, as people predicted before the game, in this game, Kaka's performance did become the focus of attention of the whole Shijie.
