The atmosphere at the San Siro is lively and although it looks like they will feel more pressure on Arsenal now, Arsenal really don't care. Playing at the San Siro is definitely not an easy task, but for Arsenal they are no stranger to this stadium; Although they have played against AC Milan in the last few years, they still have a lot of experience playing against Inter Milan in the past two seasons, and Inter Milan and AC Milan also share the same stadium.

Xiao Qing and his teammates are used to playing away games, and they are also used to playing on such a big occasion, and there may be pressure, but the Arsenal players will also be more looking forward to it at this time, they are looking forward to winning the game in such a great stadium, and they are looking forward to scoring away goals at the San Siro Stadium to win this game and seize the opportunity on the way to the Champions League quarterfinals.

Both teams' desire to win the game is quite strong, and the players of the two teams are also fighting a lot of words before the game, so the gunpowder smell of this game is still relatively strong, which means that the fierce confrontation was shown at the beginning of the game, and the rhythm of the game was continuously accelerated by the tacit understanding of the two teams at the beginning.

It was only a minute and a half into the opening. Arsenal were the first to strike. Cazorla cut inside on the left and fired a right-footed shot from 20 yards out. The ball is high above the lintel. AC Milan quickly returned the favor, and in the fourth minute, Seedorf made a through ball and Boateng returned his heel to Seedorf with his right foot from the top of the penalty area, which hit the left side-netting. In the eighth minute, Abate, who had inserted the assist, fired a right-footed shot near the corner of the penalty area on the right side, and the ball touched the Arsenal defender and changed the line. Hit the left side-netting.

AC Milan fans were delighted to see the team playing a good attack at home, and they were delighted to see the team showing a very aggressive and aggressive tactics at the beginning of the game; Rossoneri fans will be hoping to keep up the good work and they will want to see the team play more dangerous attacks in the upcoming games. But soon the AC Milan fans encountered a cold water, and the AC Milan players, whose morale was constantly soaring, also encountered a huge setback.

In the twelfth minute of the game, Seedorf suffered a recurrence of injuries, and he could not continue to play with a hamstring strain, so AC Milan could only replace Seedorf with Emmanuelsen early. Although AC Milan's injury situation has improved a little in this game, Gattuso, Aquilani, Flamini and Nesta are all recovering from injuries, and now Seedorf went off again due to injury in less than 15 minutes, which is definitely not good news for AC Milan. It did take a toll on AC Milan's high morale.

It's not about gloating, but the Arsenal players are certainly a little bit of a snickering in the mood. AC Milan are in some trouble right now, and they were unexpectedly dominant at the start of the game, which is great news for the Gunners, who will need to perform better if they want to win the game. Now that AC Milan's main team is injured, it will definitely affect the morale of AC Milan, and this is Arsenal's chance; Taking advantage of the current morale of AC Milan and the need to readjust the tactics of AC Milan, Arsenal need to seize the opportunity at this time to at least try to master the rhythm of the game.

Sometimes injuries can really affect the morale of the players, and it can also have a negative impact on the team's tactics; But sometimes this can also make the morale of the players completely burst, because it will motivate them to put in more effort in the game, the current AC Milan players are very motivated, although they seem to be a little affected now, but in the game they chose to attack resolutely, they need to win this game, they simply cannot allow Arsenal to win the game at the San Siro.

In the thirteenth minute of the game, Boateng crossed from the left, Ibrahimovic knocked back directly in the penalty area, and Emmanuelsen, who had just come on as a substitute, volleyed with his left foot about 15 meters from the goal, and the ball was deflected off the left post! It seems that AC Milan are doing very well at the moment, they have shown great aggression from the beginning of this game, and they have indeed played very good and dangerous shots, and they do not seem to be affected too much by Seedorf's unexpected injury.

Arsenal's players are a little depressed, they originally thought that if they did not occupy an absolute advantage in this game, then they could play on a par with AC Milan, and they had no reason to let AC Milan press in this game. But at the San Siro Stadium, Arsenal seemed to be a little passive at the beginning of the game, AC Milan really can't be underestimated, Arsenal may still underestimate AC Milan, so they were caught off guard at the beginning of the game.

Arsenal's players were depressed, and the Gunners, who claimed to be attacking football, were actually threatened again and again at the San Siro Stadium; This is a huge challenge for Arsenal's already very general defensive line, now they need to cheer up, they need to adjust quickly, if AC Milan is allowed to control the rhythm of the game, then this game is really hanging for Arsenal, at the beginning of this game Arsenal may be able to see that AC Milan is really good to complete the change, their competitiveness has obviously risen.

Arsenal's formation is a bit pushed back and the Gunners need to play at this point, they need to play their rhythm in the game; The Gunners had a good idea, and they did start to work hard to adjust. But Arsenal's tweaks look to have failed, and it's a bit of a laugh as they have suffered a huge blow when they tried to attack.

Arsenal backfield pass, want to pass through AC Milan's midfield copper wall seems to be a little difficult, Arsenal can not wait for the adjustment slowly, they need to simply and rudely send the ball to the front, using Xiao Qing and Van Persie's impact to temporarily suppress AC Milan, so as to get more opportunities to attack, so as to be able to better find the rhythm of the game in the game.

In the sixteenth minute of the game, Arsenal goalkeeper Szczesny kicked off the ball and wanted to drive the ball to the front, but the ball was cut off by AC Milan midfielder Nocerino; Nocerino's direct and rapid counterattack after breaking the ball, picking up a pass on the right side after a sharp breakthrough, Boateng stopped the ball on his chest in the right penalty area, and volleyed with his right foot fifteen meters from the goal in one go, and the ball shell generally hit the lower edge of the lintel and bounced into the net!

1-0, AC Milan dominated the game in the first fifteen minutes of the game, and they also took the lead in the game; This is good news for AC Milan at home, taking the lead in the scoreline, which also means that they have the initiative in the game, they can beat Arsenal, and they have a chance to take the absolute initiative in this Champions League knockout round!

Arsenal's players were a bit frustrated, and it was definitely not a pleasant thing to be led by their opponents in the knockout rounds of the Champions League. In particular, the strength of AC Milan is actually very good, and if Arsenal wants to win at this time, then naturally they need to put in more effort.

However, the current score is not a very difficult task for Arsenal, just one goal behind in the big score, and Arsenal have a chance to recover this gap on aggregate at any time. And for the Champions League knockout round is extremely important away goals, as long as Arsenal can score at the San Siro stadium, then they have a great chance of being able to go to the bottom in this matchup, as long as Arsenal can score in this game, then Arsenal will definitely have the advantage of advancing in this game.

Although the Gunners are one goal behind in the score, but the Arsenal players are also cheering up at this time, they need to break out strongly in the next game, now Arsenal has fallen behind by one goal, they also need to ensure that they can not continue to concede goals in this game, they need to ensure the stability of the team's defense, and they also need to ensure that they play a high-quality attack on the offensive end.

AC Milan were in high spirits after scoring the goal, and in the frenzy of the San Siro Stadium, AC Milan also launched a crazy onslaught on the Arsenal goal, and they hope to continue to work hard at this time to seal the victory completely.

In the 21st minute of the game, Robinho crossed from the left, and Nocerino shot with his right foot 20 meters away from the goal, and the ball was slightly higher than the lintel! In the 25th minute, Van Persie took a free kick from the right side into the penalty area, Xiao Qing shook his head at the penalty spot, and Abbiati got the ball. In the 33rd minute, Antonini's right-footed shot from the edge of the penalty area on the left side was blocked by the defender; AC Milan broke the ball down the left and passed again, and Nocerino volleyed from a tight angle on the right side of the penalty area, and the ball went over the crossbar.

AC Milan played a quality attack at this time, and the Gunners seemed to continue to be suppressed at this time, which is definitely not good news for Arsenal. (To be continued......)
