AC Milan were undeterred by Real Madrid's threatening attack from the opening kick-off.

AC Milan, who do have an average age on the older side, have an unrivalled level of football experience, which is a valuable asset that allows them to maintain a good mentality in the game.

However, due to the away game and the extremely sharp attack of Real Madrid on the wing, AC Milan's side attack was relatively suppressed.

Otto must always be on the lookout for Sneijder, and Karazek must be wary of Robben's surprise attack.

Although the midfielders have the ability to pull the wings, they are relatively lacking in pure wide players, which makes AC Milan's attack lack more rich changes in positional battles.

On the other hand, since AC Milan won the Champions League last season, Real Madrid's attention to the opponent can be imagined, and the core of Bosque's targeted deployment in the lineup is naturally to limit Kaka's play.

In the 5th minute of the game, Kaka collided with Seedorf after receiving Pirlo's direct pass in the front, and he easily broke through Guti's defense, but after receiving Seedorf's return pass, he just changed direction and got rid of Diarra's interception, but the ball at his feet was bravely cut off by Heinze!

Kaka was a little surprised, Heinze, as a full-back, rushed to the middle of the penalty area to help defend!

Ancelotti's face was solemn on the sidelines, he turned his head to look at Bosque sitting in the coach's seat, according to his understanding of Heinze's playing habits, even though this Argentine is sometimes prone to brain fever, but to leave his own defense area on a large scale like today to run to his teammates' turf to assist, it must be the manager's arrangement!

Did Bosque see the lack of AC Milan's attacking force on the wing, or did he want to deliberately expose an open space and opportunity for AC Milan to lure the enemy?

Once AC Milan are unable to maintain a basic back four to face the onslaught of Real Madrid, Carlo Ancelotti can't imagine what Real Madrid's forward pass will wreak havoc on the AC Milan defence.

Real Madrid showed the momentum that they should have from the start, constantly attacking the AC Milan defence.

Today, AC Milan naturally has a top priority on Qin Xiong's marking.

Ambrosini and Gattuso were responsible for encircling Qin Xiong, and one of them did not leave an inch. The other is always ready to strike backwards.

This made it difficult for Qin Xiong to wait for the ball on the spot, and it was easy to be guarded by the opponent when he just ran out of the vacancy.

After all, the closer you get to AC Milan's penalty area, the less space there is for running, not to mention the two AC Milan players with good defensive ability.

Qin Xiong knew that today's match was a test for himself.

He doesn't have as many dribbling and breakaway chances as he does in other games, which makes him have to be more aggressive in his movement and clean on the ball. You can't drag mud and water.

He didn't want to get tangled up with a villain like Gattuso.

In the 11th minute of the game, Guti made a long diagonal pass from the midfielder to the left side in front of the penalty area.

Qin Xiong ran diagonally from the middle, Gattuso was with him, and Ambrosini was ready to press with Gattuso after Qin Xiong stopped the ball.

But when Gattuso followed Qin Xiong and ran in the direction where the football fell, Gattuso felt strange in his heart.

The football came from behind, and Qin Xiong ran forward without looking back, without the slightest intention of turning back or stopping.

Is this about leaking the ball?

He glanced at Raul's position and saw that Raul had not slipped diagonally into the area where the ball landed.

There wasn't enough time for Gattuso to speculate any longer, and he could only take one step at a time.

Just when the football is falling. Qin Xiong had already run to the front of the football, and at this moment, he suddenly stopped, Gattuso originally wanted to take advantage of this time to go to clear the ball with a header.

But Qin Xiong got stuck, and then Gattuso saw that the football hit Qin Xiong's back, and Qin Xiong also took the initiative to arch his back!

The soccer ball bounced back!

Gattuso and Ambrosini turned their heads in surprise to see Sneijder slashing diagonally into the box from about five yards behind. He stopped the ball with his chest and controlled it perfectly at his feet.

This time, the Real Madrid fans in the Bernabeu stands were fascinated, and some immediately stood up and applauded.

Sneijder finished with a quality long-range shot from the middle of the box. The ball went straight to the bottom right corner of the goal, and goalkeeper Carraci scrambled to the end, using his fingertips to block the ball off the line, and the ball rolled out of the post on the outside of the goalpost.

"Real Madrid is another threatening attack, and this combination reminds us of the time when Qin Xiong and Sneijder completed such a combination during the Ajax era. It was in the 0304 Champions League final, but unfortunately they didn't make it this time, and Sneijder's shot was just a fraction of a second away. ”

The AC Milan squad is really feeling the pressure.

But they still have the bottom of their hearts.

Today we will face a powerful and terrifying attack from Real Madrid.

AC Milan did not put on an extremely defensive formation, but it was impossible to take the initiative to attack Real Madrid. When there is an opportunity, it is mainly focused on counterattacks and fast breaks.

In the 14th minute of the game, Guti tried to feed Raul a through ball that was cut off by Maldini, who immediately passed the ball to Pirlo in front of him.

Without the slightest hesitation, Pirlo put the ball on the ground and went straight to the front.

Seedorf dribbled to the side after stopping the ball, which made Real Madrid's defensive tactics of tightening up on the flanks and going to the middle to contain Kaka appear.

Seedorf didn't pass the ball to Kaka after taking two steps forward, but instead made a delicate through ball to Pato, who was running in an offside position.

Pato, who joined AC Milan in the winter, is in his third Champions League appearance, and he was not in the area in front of goal after successfully breaking into the box after an offside position, and he was not shooting from a good angle, so he intends to adjust it.

However, when he kicked the ball back and tried to have a shot into the far corner, Pepe rushed from diagonally behind and broke the ball at his feet.

Pato was both annoyed and blamed himself, for this kind of top-level confrontation game, he is still inexperienced, whether he can shoot with his feet is not whether he wants to or not, but whether the situation allows!

AC Milan didn't put in too many attacking players in their corner kick attack, and they were clearly afraid of Real Madrid's fast attack after a successful corner kick defense.

That thunderous fast break has become a nightmare that many teams don't want to recall.

However, this time the corner kick attack, AC Milan still played a relatively good attack.

Andrea Pirlo takes a corner, Odor nods it back, and Kaka from outside the box scrambles ahead of Diarra with a volley!

The soccer ball flew off the baseline over the crossbar.

Kaka looked up to the sky and sighed when he saw that the ball had not gone in.

He also knows he won't have too many opportunities to dribble on the ball in this game.

Just like Qin Xiong, he is also a target targeted by Real Madrid. (To be continued......)
