When the bus with the AC Milan logo arrived at the players' tunnel at White Hart Lane, the AC Milan players stepped off the bus one after another under the leadership of manager Carlo Ancelotti, and the Tottenham Hotspur fans greeted them with overwhelming boos and even insults, because the White Hart Lane stadium was so simple that the players' tunnel was exposed in front of the fans.

AC Milan was helpless in the face of such a very strong provocation by Tottenham Hotspur fans, as they clearly wanted to provoke AC Milan in this way, and for this group of experienced players, they would not be provoked by the opposition in the slightest.

Younger players such as Kaka and Pato all put on headphones and listened to music, while veterans such as Maldini and Dida didn't even look at those indignant fans, and got off the bus directly and walked into the White Hart Lane stadium.

Nesta's absence through injury is definitely a huge loss for AC Milan's backline, and to add insult to injury, they have just lost three away to Juventus, which makes AC Milan more and more distant from next season's Champions League qualification.

But as Carlo Ancelotti said, no matter what, this game must be won by Tottenham Hotspur first.

AC Milan's biggest asset is experience, they have a lot of European experience that Tottenham Hotspur combined, which is a huge advantage, and their strategy for this game will continue to defend and counter-attack.

Ancelotti, who was walking in front, was a little worried and worried, because he was very aware of the current situation of the team, on the other hand, Tottenham Hotspur, Ye Qiu was obviously saving for this game, so in the FA Cup last weekend, Tottenham Hotspur did not do his best at all, but used full substitutions and youth team players to play.

Even so, they were lucky to hold on to zero on the road, with Vincent Kompany and Mike Dawson putting in excellent performances, while Gareth Bale scored the only goal for Tottenham Hotspur to knock out Portsmouth.

Playing away from home, the physical fitness is not sustained, these two difficulties are like two heavy mountains pressing on Ancelotti, making him a little breathless, and what makes Ancelotti feel more headache is how to block the attack of Tottenham Hotspur? After all, this is White Hart Lane

In the stadium they are most familiar with, any team is often more able to play their strongest strength, while AC Milan is playing away, very unfamiliar with the venue, and the environment and game atmosphere are obviously not good for AC Milan, these are the difficulties that AC Milan must overcome.

Walking into the dressing room, changing clothes, when AC Milan walked out of the players' tunnel, they were greeted by an overwhelming boo and curse, and the fans of the crazy White Hart Lane stadium entered the stadium early, they were playing the role of their twelfth player, and they were doing everything possible to disturb and influence AC Milan.

"Wow, isn't it, so close?" As soon as they walked out of the players' tunnel, AC Milan players felt the pressure of the Tottenham Hotspur fans, and the most intuitive feeling was the distance between the stadium and the stands.

Although the turf and stands of the San Siro Stadium are not separated by a track and field track, there is also an open space buffer, and the two do not directly intersect, but are separated by some barricades and barbed wire.

As you can imagine, if you're standing on the sidelines and taking a throw-in, or when you're taking a corner, you have to worry about it all the time, will someone rush out from behind you and give you a hard punch from behind? Or just kick a leg straight into your ass?

They certainly don't know that since the Hillsborough massacre in England that year, all England teams have had their home stadiums dismantled barbed wire to ensure that fans in the stands can be moved to the stadium when it is necessary to do so.

Ye Qiu likes this kind of home design very much, because it can give the away team the greatest psychological pressure, so at his request, he took this into account when designing the Olympic Stadium to ensure that the team can unload the track and field track after the transformation in the future and turn it into the team's bottom stand.

Not only that, the grandstand was designed with a 34-degree angle from the beginning, which can ensure that even if the team adds a third layer of grandstand in the future, the fans in the second and third levels of the stand can get the best viewing effect of the game, and can also create the maximum atmosphere of the home stadium.

A lot of these elements need to be considered in the design phase, because once you're in use, it's not surprising that it's difficult to retrofit and it's not cost-effective.

"Hi, Kaka" After AC Milan walked out of the players' tunnel, Ye Qiu also walked over with a smile and greeted his old acquaintance Kaka.

"Ha, Mr. Ye Qiu" Kaka also smiled and hugged Ye Qiu, this was the first time he came to the White Hart Lane Stadium.

Ye Qiu patted Kaka's shoulder, "You have to be careful tonight, I won't show mercy"

Kaka smiled and didn't say much, but his eyes were full of provocation.

"Hello, Mr. Ancelotti" Ye Qiu walked over and shook Ancelotti's hand, "Welcome to White Hart Lane Stadium"

Then there is Andrea Pirlo, a player who wanted to bring him in when Ye Qiu was in charge of Chelsea, but on the one hand, AC Milan was unwilling to let him go, and on the other hand, Pirlo did not want to leave Milan, so in the end it did not succeed.

As AC Milan walked onto the pitch, the atmosphere inside the stadium immediately became hot.

"Viewers, welcome to the second leg of the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League 07UU8 season, which we are broadcasting live to you at White Hart Lane in London, England."

"Now that the players of both teams have finished their warm-ups, they have returned to the dressing room to rest and wait in the players' tunnel to enter the stadium, and this is the referee of this game, Plauz from Austria, who is also an experienced international referee."

"Let's take a look at the starting line-ups of both teams for this match."

"Tottenham Hotspur's starting lineup for this game is very neat, although they just played an FA Cup semi-final and successfully reached the FA Cup final, but Ye Qiu did not give his all in that game, but stayed ready to play this Champions League knockout game."

"The goalkeeper is Czech goalkeeper Peter Cech, who has become one of the top goalkeepers in Europe and the world thanks to his outstanding performances at Tottenham Hotspur in the past two seasons; From left to right, Peruvian international Vargas, Norwegian centre-back Hangrande, Brazilian centre-back Thiago Silva and Brazilian right-back Alves. ”

"Tottenham Hotspur's backline has been criticised before, but it has been doing well in recent times, but the Champions League and the Premier League are obviously different, and I wonder if they can withstand the test from AC Milan."

'The midfield is still Luka Modric, Mascherano and Cesc Fabregas, and the England midfielder has yet to return to action after Tottenham Hotspur's biggest name in the squad was sidelined with injury, but we noticed that he sat in the stands and cheered on his team-mates for this game

"The front three, this is Tottenham Hotspur's current proudest offensive line, French left winger Franck Ribery, Dutch center Van Persie, and Argentina right winger, Messi, known as Maradona II, this set of tridents for Tottenham Hotspur this season, invincible."

"As you can see, Tottenham Hotspur is playing at home again, and the biggest test for AC Milan in this game is whether they can withstand Tottenham Hotspur's attacking tactics after the opening, because this is Tottenham's signature tactic."

After the on-site commentator analyzed the starting lineup of Tottenham Hotspur, the players of the two teams walked out of the player tunnel and walked into the stadium one after another under the leadership of the referee.

"Tottenham Hotspur wear a white jersey and black shorts, which is their traditional colour, while AC Milan still wear their iconic red and black quivers, which is very easy to distinguish."

'AC Milan's starting line-up for this game has been affected a bit, with Nesta being unable to be included in the squad for this game due to injury in the first leg between the two sides, while Carlo Ancelotti is out of the squad for this game with 43.

"The goalkeeper is Karachi, the backline is Favali, Kaladze, Maldini and Oddo, the midfield is Ambrosini, Pirlo and Gattuso, the midfielder is Kaka, and the two strikers are Pato and Inzaghi.

"Compared with the youth of Tottenham Hotspur, AC Milan's player lineup is relatively mature and more experienced, but many of the main players in the team are over 30 years old, including veterans such as Maldini and Favali, so for AC Milan, how to give full play to their experience advantages and limit Tottenham Hotspur's physical advantages is very important, and Tottenham Hotspur is bound to adopt a fast-paced style of play that they are better at and more impactful."

"Also, it is important to note that Tottenham Hotspur's front three attack is very sharp, Ribery is the first scorer in the Premier League this season, and Van Persie and Messi have also scored a lot of goals, the three players form the strongest attacking combination in Europe this season, the style of play is varied, and the tacit cooperation is a big challenge for AC Milan when defending"

Ye Qiu said at the pre-match press conference that Tottenham Hotspur will maximize the home advantage in this game, maintain the fast-paced play style of the Premier League team, and drag down the aging AC Milan, and he also analyzed that the biggest threat to AC Milan is that they can slow down the pace of the game when facing any opponent, enter their familiar rhythm of possession, and then find the right opportunity, suddenly launch a quick attack, use Kaka's speed to suddenly accelerate, and play threatening.

"In fact, in the first leg, Tottenham Hotspur played very well, and it was a bit of a pity that they couldn't win away from home, but after a duel, both sides will definitely be more experienced, and I wonder if Carlo Ancelotti can effectively contain Tottenham's attack this time."

It was at this time that the two sides in the stadium finally finished guessing and preparation, and the referee blew the whistle for the start of the game, but it was clear that the opening of the game surprised everyone.

"Pirlo took the ball and passed it to Kaka, who wanted to break through with the ball, but couldn't do it, and passed back to Gattuso

"Straight to the goal, oops, Thiago Silva blocked Gattuso's left-footed long-range shot with his body, but the ball still fell at the feet of Milan, and then passed, to Kaka, to the wing, Pato, nice defense, Vargas blocked the ball off the line."

"In the first few minutes, both sides played relatively calmly, both were stable, but the competition for the ball was fierce, and AC Milan won possession, and soon launched a series of attacks, this time the attack is very threatening, just look at Pirlo's corner"

"Front, Maldini, header, back, Inzaghi hits the near corner, dangerous"

'Cech, pounced'

'Great Cech, he saved Inzaghi's shot'

"It's too dangerous" The on-site commentators are a little frightened for the rest of their lives, "AC Milan's corner kick is very threatening, fortunately Cech is in a timely position, Inzaghi's shot is a little light, Cech directly saves the ball"

"Tottenham Hotspur look a bit like they're being suppressed right now, and the attack is a bit out of play"

Ye Qiu, like all the fans at the scene, applauded Cech's position and saves, but he didn't think it was a problem with the team's defense, nor did he think it was Cech's own performance, of course, the Czech's excellence was beyond doubt.

Maldini had no angle at all, he had to choose to ferry, and Inzaghi was surrounded by defenders, he had to get up and down the first time, and the angle of the shot had been blocked, he could only play in the near corner, so Cech quickly moved to the left post to save the ball, which was his prediction of defensive holes and tacit cooperation with his teammates.

No defence can completely block the opponent's attack, the opponent will definitely have a chance to get on the foot, so a very important responsibility of the goalkeeper is to be able to see the point where the opponent is likely to break through and block it, and Cech is clearly better than in the past, and very comprehensive.

Tottenham Hotspur couldn't grab possession, mainly because Modric couldn't hold the ball, so when Ye Qiu saw Cech holding the ball and standing up, he immediately made a gesture of pressing down, signaling to slow down and stabilize first.

Then he told Messi to return to the midfield to support the team's midfield to get the ball.

Messi's ability to hold the ball is very good, the ball is almost difficult to lose at his feet, this is a very valuable quality, even Ye Qiu once thought that if he was allowed to hold the ball in the most densely defended area, it would definitely be a nightmare for all defensive players, and it would also be another improvement in Tottenham Hotspur's attack.

But for now, the most important thing for him is to carve the team's midfield.

With the adjustment of Tottenham Hotspur, Messi retreated to the midfield to get the ball, Alves stepped forward, and at the same time, Ye Qiu pressed Fabregas's position more, and directly became the front midfield, disturbing Pirlo, which is a very typical tactic of grabbing the back waist from the front waist, and even Ye Qiu felt that if he could really reach the semifinals, he would use this trick to deal with Liverpool.

At the end of the day, Xavi Alonso is to Liverpool what Andrea Pirlo is to AC Milan, and Xavi Alonso's ability to defend against pressing is not even as good as Pirlo, so if this move works for Pirlo, then it must also work for Xavi Alonso, and the next thing to do is to make adjustments in some other aspects.

Pirlo's pass success rate this season has always been around RU%, and there was even a RR This is a rather terrifying pass success rate, so AC Milan's attack is also very threatening, but Ye Qiu's goal for Fabregas in this game is to hit Pirlo's pass success rate to about 70%, or even below.

It can be said that Ye Qiu's high hopes for the organization is Modric, after the opening Modric's poor performance, resulting in Tottenham Hotspur possession aside, Fabregas had to retreat, this is the reason why Ye Qiu's tactics could not work, so he was forced to take Messi to retreat to support the midfielder to get the ball, and do his best to continue to compete with AC Milan for possession.

So, after making adjustments, Ye Qiu made a neck wiping gesture towards Cesc Fabregas, signaling him to get rid of Pirlo as soon as possible, and at the same time letting Roland continue to stare at AC Milan's passing data, especially Pirlo.

As long as Pirlo's pass success rate drops, AC Milan's overall pass penetration will be over, and this means that Tottenham Hotspur's possession rate is rising, and the team's possession time is increasing again, and the initiative is regained.

Fans certainly can't see this, but they can clearly see that after almost breaking through Tottenham Hotspur's goal in the first minute, Tottenham Hotspur's midfield pressing is fierce, and AC Milan's passing and receiving errors are increasing, especially Pirlo, who has been frequently disturbed by Cesc Fabregas and has to rush the ball many times.

Ancelotti went on Ambrosini and gave up Seedorf for the sake of safety, which made AC Milan's midfielder less of a role that could handle the ball, although the defense was strengthened, but when it came to ball control, Ambrosini did not have Seedorf's ability.

Because of this, Ye Qiu used Fabregas to force Pirlo, and carried out a layered in-depth pressing from the front, which caused problems with AC Milan's passing penetration, and many times even had to take too many direct long passes in the backfield.

Everyone knows that such a long pass has a high error rate, so every time the ball reaches Tottenham Hotspur Hotspur in the half, it is immediately transferred to Tottenham Hotspur, because whether it is Big Inzaghi or Pato, they are obviously not good at fighting for headers.

As Tottenham Hotspur has more time on the ball, the pace of the game gradually increases, and the ball is quickly converted between each other, often exchanging possession within a minute, and the players running back and forth, which is also a lot of physical consumption.

And this is the rhythm that Ye Qiu wants

At the same time, it is also the rhythm that can drag down AC Milan the most
