Chapter 198: Away Battle San Siro

On February 19, the day before Atletico Madrid's Champions League match, the whole Atletico Madrid team arrived in Milan, Italy, ahead of schedule to prepare for tomorrow's Champions League knockout round.

At the same time, on this day, the Champions League round of 16 has already completed two games, Barcelona defeated Manchester City 2-0 away, and there is no big problem in advancing to the quarterfinals.

Manchester City seems to have stopped in the round of 16 again this year, and the Champions League dream of the local tycoon is still far away, and he can't even reach the quarterfinals, and it seems that he needs to continue to increase his efforts to throw money.

Paris Saint-Germain beat Bayer Leverkusen 4-0 away to take a huge lead in the two-legged match.

Ibrahimovic scored twice in this game, which is also a rare one-time brushing of two Champions League knockout goals, and his current Champions League goals this season have reached 10, temporarily surpassing Ronaldo to the top of the table.

Ibrahimovic, who returned to Paris in high spirits, said in front of reporters: "There is no doubt that I am a Milan fan tonight, I will cheer for Milan in front of the TV. Atletico Madrid is an overrated team, it's not a big deal at all, and I'm sure Milan can knock out their opponents and advance. ”

It seems that he was squeezed out of the annual team by Ringer, and Da Ibrahim is still haunted.

In fact, the whole AC Milan team is also very confident about qualifying, and their head coach Seedorf also said: "We have specifically consulted Carlo Ancelotti to know how to deal with Atletico Madrid. ”

Although Carlo Ancelotti eliminated Atletico Madrid in the Spanish Copa del Rey, he has played Atletico Madrid three times this season, with a record of 1 win and 2 losses, and I don't know where Seedorf heard that Ancelotti has a unique skill against Atletico Madrid.

Even if he really has that unique skill, with the current AC Milan lineup, what can he play? It seems that he still needs to study a Chinese saying carefully, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and he Seedorf is definitely not a good woman.

It's okay to play football, but when it comes to coaching, Seedorf is by no means a good woman.

Atletico temporarily borrowed Inter's training ground to prepare for the game, and at Inter's Pinetina training base, Ringer met Inter's new owner, Indonesian billionaire Eric Tohir, with a typical Asian face and a slightly rich figure.

"Lin, you are the pride of Asian football, and I hope we can have the opportunity to work together in the future."

"Okay, hopefully there will be a chance in the future."

Ringer was also polite.

These rich people, when they bought the team, they yelled fiercely, what to revitalize the team to restore the honor of the club, to spend three or five billion to buy people, to spend a lot of money to smash a certain star, etc., the slogan shouted loudly, but as soon as the team arrived, he immediately turned into Grande, and he was heartbroken to spend his eldest son.

This Indonesian is also the same person, he shouted that he would spend 300 million yuan to strengthen the team, but the team is in hand, and Inter Milan is still the same during the winter break, and there is no big move.

On February 20, at 20:45 local time in Italy and 3:45 a.m. Beijing time the next day, the focus of this season's Champions League round of 16 was ready to start at San Siro.

'It's the highlight of the Champions League last-16 ties, and it's considered the most evenly matched matchup in the round of 16, and Ringer, who is making his first appearance at the San Siro, will face AC Milan. Yang Ma undoubtedly broadcast this focus battle.

"You must know that when Ringer first debuted, he was called a Chinese Kaka by Japanese fans, and today, he is going to face a real Kaka."

Kaka appeared at the San Siro and he was not absent.

Every star will have their own idol when they are young, but when they grow into a star, then they will also grow into themselves, and the former idol will no longer be mentioned, or only exist in some remote corner of the heart.

Standing on the turf of the San Siro, listening to the Champions League theme song before the opening, Ringer was in a trance for a while.

The 22nd on the opposite side seems to bring everything back to the past, as if everything has not changed, and it is still the era of red and black.

But on the court, everything is the same, and everything has long been different.

No. 3 is no longer Maldini, No. 7 is no longer Shevchenko, No. 9 is no longer Inzaghi, No. 13 is no longer Nesta, No. 21 is no longer Pirlo.

Suddenly, No. 22 is still Kaka, that familiar face, as if it can make time staggered and return to the past.

But the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes are a reminder that everything is just a fleeting time.

Beep~~~

When the referee blows the whistle and brings Lingla back into the game, it's the Champions League knockout round.

Atletico Madrid is still a 442 formation today,

Goalkeepers: Thibaut Courtois;

Defenders: Juanfran , Miranda, Godin, Insua;

Midfielders: Turan, Raul Garcia, Gabi, Koke;

Forwards: Ringer, Costa.

AC Milan is a 4231 formation,

Goalkeepers: Abbiati;

Defenders: Desiglio, Bonella, Lamy, Emmanulsen;

Defenders: Essien, Frenkie de Jong;

Avant-garde: Poli, Kaka, Tarabut;

Forward: Balotelli.

New to Milan, Japanese Keisuke Honda, who has already played for his former club CSKA Moscow in the Champions League this season, can no longer represent AC Milan in the knockout rounds of the Champions League and can only sit in the stands to watch the game.

AC Milan's lineup, how to say, many of them were brought back by Galliani at a low price or even for free after other teams were purged.

Essien is a person who has not been able to play at Chelsea for a long time, De Jong and Balotelli are players who have been cleaned by Manchester City, and even Kaka has no place in Real Madrid, but such a group of people is the main force of AC Milan, how can they play results, and they are now ranked 11th in Serie A, which is almost a portrayal of their true strength.

At the start of the game, Atletico Madrid kicked off first, and the ball quickly came to the feet of Ringer.

Ringer walked along the right flank, accelerated with the ball to shake off Dutchman de Laukie, quickly advanced near the baseline, shook off Emmanuelsen with a smash, and then crossed back to the middle, but unfortunately Raul Garcia's shot from the middle was blocked.

'Ringer, he came down with a low pass in the opening game, and although he couldn't produce a goal, it took the Milan fans by surprise, and their defence seemed to be struggling to cope with Ringer's onslaught.

At the beginning of the game, Atletico Madrid had the intention of reversing the opponent and attacking the opponent's defense one after another.

In the 4th minute, Juanfrán's cross was headed high by Costa.

In the 7th minute, Ringer made a return ball in front of the penalty area, and Koke's follow-up long-range shot was too square, and the ball was confiscated by Abbiati.

Atletico started the game with a series of dangers, but AC Milan's defence was solid for the time being and did not give Atletico Madrid too many chances.

AC Milan began to regain their form after solidifying their defence.

In the 10th minute, Balotelli used the counter-attack to create a free kick 27 meters from the goal, which he took himself, although he failed to hit the goal, but it was not much.

The goal sent a huge cheer at the San Siro Stadium as it was AC Milan's first kick on goal. It was suppressed by Atletico Madrid at the beginning, which made Milan fans quite unhappy.

Balotelli's shot seemed to open the door for AC Milan to attack, and Milan's attacks came one after another.

In the 13th minute, Kaka received a pass from Poli on the right side of the penalty area and hit the goal with his left foot, and the ball pulled an arc and flew straight to the far corner of the goal, Courtois couldn't save it at all, but in the end, the ball hit the crossbar and bounced off the bottom line.

Four minutes later, Moroccan Tarabut crossed from the right, Kaka headed the ball in front of goal, and the ball went to the corner again, this time straight to the bottom left corner, but Courtois reacted quickly and rubbed the ball with his fingertips, which allowed the ball to hit the post and pop off the bottom line.

'Atletico Madrid were a bit dangerous, they pressed AC Milan for the first 10 minutes, but after 10 minutes, the initiative seemed to be back in the hands of AC Milan and they began to threaten the Atletico goal in succession, and Kaka hit the woodwork twice in five minutes. Yang Ma's commentary also began to worry about Atletico Madrid, after all, it is the team that Ringer plays, and they still want to continue to watch Ringer's performance in the Champions League.

"What are you doing??! Keep an eye on people~~ Keep an eye on people, and if you can't keep an eye on it, you will foul!! Simeone on the sidelines began to roar.

Simeone knows that now this AC Milan team is just a patchwork team, and the overall strength is not outstanding, but they have always been seven-time Champions League champions, and if they play with momentum, it is a bunch of garbage substitutes, as long as they wear the Milan shirt, they can suddenly skyrocket in strength.

This kind of thing may be the so-called heritage.

So now, Atletico Madrid must resist and must not let AC Milan play with momentum, otherwise this game will be really troublesome.
