With the win over Atalanta, Milan have won 29 in a row and continue to break their own winning streak. Such Milan is terrifying, like a high emperor, looking down on the heroes.

The March drizzle has gone, and the flowers on the branches are shining brightly, blooming in the warm April air. The streets of Milan are full of grass and flowers, and everything seems to be thriving.

Milan had a harsh winter, and after the 29th round, it finally ushered in spring - one point ahead of Inter Milan and standing at the top of the standings. From minus 15 points to the top of the table, and Inter have been doing very well, this is a miracle.

In a happy state of mind, the Milan players took advantage of this rare half month to adjust their bodies and minds in preparation for the final stage of the season. It's not over yet, everything needs them to fight hard to achieve a great double.

On April 1, the sun is shining, and Milan will take on Roma at the Olympic Stadium in Rome. The reason why it is a challenge is because after this game, they only have three days of rest. On April 4, they will host the Champions League quarter-finals against Bayern Munich.

Roma are facing the same problem, as they will also play the Champions League on April 4.

Before the game, many media outlets conducted a pre-match analysis of the match between Milan and Roma.

Torino Sport said: Milan have the Champions League in three days, and it stands to reason that Carlo Ancelotti should put most of his main players on the bench. But Milan, who are aiming for a double, will not do so because his opponent is Roma. Of course, more importantly, they have a one-point lead. If you are not careful, Inter will overtake the points.

Therefore, Ancelotti will send all his main players into the game.

Milan Sports said: Compared to Serie A, Carlo Ancelotti prefers to focus on the Champions League. Because if there is a mistake in Serie A, they can still make amends, but the Champions League has entered the knockout stage, and the slightest mistake will fall into the abyss. This is the case with Real Madrid and Barcelona, both of whom were eliminated because of a lack of away goals.

Real Madrid met Bayern Munich in the quarter-finals, winning 3-2 in the first leg, but allowing Bayern to score two away goals. This led directly to the fate of their elimination. Ancelotti must not have wanted that.

Milan derby. Double-kill Inter. It seems like a wonderful result, but if we analyze the scoreline carefully, we can see the hidden dangers of Milan. In the first leg, Milan conceded three goals. The second leg was 3-2. Milan conceded two goals. Five goals conceded in two games. If they weren't attacking, the win would have been Inter.

Milan have a problem at the back!

Thuram has the height and the header is still good. For the most part, he was able to protect the heights of the Milan penalty area, but as he got older, his pace became slower.

Speaking of headers, in the second leg of the Milan derby, Materazzi overtook the score, which was scored by Thuram. This scene is a shocking reality with the World Cup final, which last year was a match for Mateazzi to help Italy equalize the score.

Nesta is still great, he is the most trusted player under Dida. With two wings, Cafu is also getting older, and his assists are slowly decreasing, but there is a terrifying trio, and Milan don't need his assists. Even so, his footsteps began to slow down and often became the main direction of his opponent's attacks.

Kaladze can play in a number of positions, but has been absent for a long time. Otto is a good option and Ancelotti should consider using him in the match against Bayern. As for the other defender, Carlo Ancelotti could consider Jankulovski so that Maldini could partner Nesta in central defence.

Discussing the match between Milan and Bayern is mainly about the lineup of Milan vs Roma in this match. Carlo Ancelotti should consider putting Maldini on the bench for the Champions League in three days' time. As for the midfield, Andrea Pirlo should start and control Milan's tempo, while Gattuso returned from injury and should be brought on to adapt to the rhythm of the game.

Ancelotti's greatest brilliance this season has probably been his use of three strikers. Normally, Don and Ronnie play together, and when there is a Champions League game, he will bring Ronnie and Inzaghi on the pitch in Serie A. To ensure that Don has the fitness to score in the Champions League.

There were, of course, exceptions, and sometimes he would send Don to partner with Ronnie, the main purpose of which was to secure the lead in the first half and then replace Don in the second half. In doing so, it is also about ensuring that Don is fit to play in the Champions League.

No matter how it is arranged, Ancelotti's central meaning has never changed, that is, to let Don have the physical strength to kill the enemy in the Champions League. When it comes to the game against Roma specifically, given the toughness of the game, Ronnie should start with Inzaghi, and if the situation opens up, Don can stay on the bench and if the situation is not good, Don will play.

Milan's biggest move in this game is likely to be at the back. Thuram is weak in the big game, and Carlo Ancelotti could use a centre-back combination of Nesta and Maldini against Bayern.

Therefore, Maldini will be exempted from the game and Odor and Jankulovski will start, taking the two full-back positions, which will allow them to adapt to the game in advance. The centre-backs should be Nesta and Thuram in pairing.

Milan crisscross Serie A, it is difficult to find a defeat, will Roma be the summariser?

Roma are also playing in the Champions League in three days' time, so what will Spalletti do? Is he going to give up Serie A and focus on the Champions League?

Torino Sport believes Spalletti will not give up the chance to end Milan's winning streak, which is more attractive than the Champions League. If Roma succeed in ending Milan's winning streak at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome, they can host Manchester United at home with high morale.

Spalletti definitely doesn't want to take a defeat to Manchester United!

So Roma will face Milan with all their main forces.

……

The game was scheduled for four o'clock in the afternoon, and at half past three the starting lists of both sides were released, and the Torino sports newspaper found that Roma really sent all the main players to play. Milan Sport found that most of their predictions came true, but the forward line they guessed wrong. Tang Jue and Ronnie started the game.

The horror trio came on en masse, which showed Ancelotti's determination to win this match. But the Milan Sport reporter smelled something else: Milan had to take the lead in the first half. Then in the second half, he changed Don to go down.

Ancelotti's faith is so strong!

It's also relieving to think about it, the partnership of Don and Ronnie has repeatedly brought Milan a lead, even a big lead, in the first half.

The media has been talking about it:

"It is extremely unwise for Rome to send all the main forces, and Spalletti is extremely unwise to do so."

"Is Spalletti going to give up the Champions League?"

"No, or to end Milan's winning streak, it's more attractive to Spalletti!"

"No, Spalletti doesn't want to take a heavy defeat to Manchester United at the Olympic Stadium in Rome. In that case, Roma will have no morale to play against Manchester United. ”

……

Roma boss Luciano Spalletti looked at Milan's starting line-up. The complexion is solemn.

Spalletti began his coaching career at Empoli. At first, he coached as a player. He then became the head coach of the Youth Army and then became the official head coach in 1995. During this time, he led Empoli from Serie C to Serie A. After that, he coached Sampdoria, Venezia, Udinese and other clubs. During his time at Udinese, Spalletti also led the club to the Champions League.

After winning the Serie A Manager of the Year in 04/05, Spalletti moved to Roma. This was a time of chaos in Rome. He has hired four coaches. It all ended in the wilderness. To breathe life into the team. Spalletti changed tactics and adopted a main attacking style of play, but did not set up a striker position. As a result, Rome finally came back to life. He finished the season fifth in the league in 2005-06.

This season, he led Roma to make a difference in the Champions League, knocking out Ligue 1 giants Lyon to reach the quarter-finals. In a word, in Serie A, apart from Ancelotti, no one is more in the limelight than Spalletti.

Spalletti is the representative of today's Italian Young Zhuang. Italian media commented on some young marshals accustomed to "whether he will be the next Spalletti?" Such a word shows that this bald young marshal has become a benchmark.

In addition to his tactics and beautiful football, he also has the ability to control players, and no one in the Roma team is dissatisfied with Spalletti, even when the team's record is not good, there has been no dressing room problem after Cassano left, Totti is at odds with many managers, but what really convinces him is Lippi and Spalletti, this is the ability of the Roma manager.

Spalletti saw Ancelotti's calculations, he looked at his team and said loudly: "Milan are very strong, and their capital to stand out from the crowd is the terrifying trio." Now Carlo Ancelotti has all three on the pitch and they have Champions League games in three days' time, what does that mean? ”

Spalletti said with a fierce glint in his eyes: "It shows that they want to break us down in the first half!" ”

Totti's brow began to furrow, which was almost no Roman in his eyes, and there was determination in his gaze. This is the Olympic Stadium in Rome, not the San Siro!

"Can we promise them?" Spalletti shouted.

"No way!"

"Strongly disagree!"

"This is our home turf!"

Listening to the angry roars of the players, Spalletti nodded in satisfaction.

"Of course we wouldn't agree. But passion alone is not enough, we have to use it to win them. Spalletti said, pointing to his bald head.

"For the Champions League in three days' time, Carlo Ancelotti will definitely tear apart the horror trio in the second half. That's our chance. Remember, we had to concede as few goals as possible in the first half, no matter what, and then give them a hard blow in the second half! ”

'We have to bring a win to the Champions League in three days' time!'

"Thuram is the key point for us to break through, he's old and he's slow."

'So, in the first half our main task was to defend. As for the offense...... Attack from both flanks. If we concede a goal, it's not a bad thing, it's a good thing. But we can't concede too many goals or it will be difficult to recover in the second half. ”

Most of the players began to wonder, since Thuram was the key point of the breakthrough, why did he not attack from the middle in the first half, but from the wing?

As for the coach's statement that the first half should focus on defense, this is not wrong, Milan's attacking power is the strongest in Serie A right now.

One of the things that made them wonder was that the coach said that conceding a goal is not a bad thing, but a good thing, and why is that?

There are several players who have no doubts, and Totti is one of them, who has read the pre-match analysis of the Milan sports newspaper and understands the coach's intentions.

Totti stood up and said, "The coach said very well, we will definitely do what you ask!" ”

In the first half, the focus was mainly on defense, which was to avoid its edge. Attacking from both flanks in the first half was for the second half. In the second half, the main direction of the attack was shifted to the middle and a breakthrough was found in Thuram, which was a surprise.

Avoiding its edge and attacking its surprise, Spalletti wants to use these two moves to subdue the arrogant Milan and become the terminator of Milan's winning streak. If Ancelotti had heard his remarks at this time, he would have praised him. However, Carlo Ancelotti would never think that Roma have the quality to beat Milan.

Now Milan has reached the realm of killing gods and killing Buddhas. Twenty-nine consecutive wins are ironclad proof!

At this time, Carlo Ancelotti was encouraging his players: "Roma also have the Champions League in three days, and they have sent all their main players. What does this mean? It shows that they want to stop our winning streak. ”

"They gave up the Champions League in order to stop us. In the first half we had to take the lead and hit Roma hard. Inter are eyeing us behind us and we can't afford to let up in the slightest! ”

"Come on, then! Thirty wins in a row await us! ”

Twenty-nine consecutive wins are a myth, and despite Ancelotti's poise, he can't help but feel a bit of a sense of dominance. Playing away, lacking two midfielders, and nine people facing each other, the score is behind, so many unfavorable factors, Milan can still beat Inter. In his opinion, there is no one in Serie A to stop their winning streak.

Inter can't do it, and Roma certainly can't either! (To be continued......)
