"Hello spectators, this is ESPN's 2011-2012 UEFA Champions League quarter-final clash between AC Milan and Arsenal. Zhan Jun will bring you a live commentary of the game. ”

With the iconic voice of commentator Zhan Jun, the fans in front of the screen knew that the game was about to begin.

"Through the broadcast footage, we can see that the San Siro Stadium is already full, and 80,000 fans are waiting for a feast on the green field."

"Needless to say, the strength of the away team Arsenal, the head coach of this team is Professor Arsene Wenger, and there are many world-class players such as Robin van Persie and Rosicky in the squad. It is worth noting that Thierry Henry, who returned from the New York Red Bulls this season, has also been on the bench and is likely to be a surprise in Arsene Wenger's hands. ”

"And the home team AC Milan is not easy. The young team have been unbeaten in Serie A this season, with an unbeaten record of 18 draws and four draws in the last 22 rounds of matches to sit high at the top of the table. ”

"Allegri's transformation of this Milan team has not been a failure. Of course, we, as Longguo, will pay more attention to Pan Yi in the Milan coach's seat. The strength of this Milan team is obviously inseparable from Pan Yi's hard work. ”

"This clash between the giants is the most eye-catching match in the last 16 of this season's Champions League, and it has attracted the attention of countless fans. We are confident that they will play a good and intense game, and it is unclear who will be killed......

As the players of both teams walked onto the pitch one after another, everyone also saw the starting line-ups of both teams.

The away team Arsenal are the 442 in the parallel position of the professor this season:

Forwards: Van Persie, Walcott.

Midfielders: Rosicky, Alexander Song, Ramsey, Arteta.

Defenders: Gibbs, Vermaelen, Koscielny, Sagna.

Goalkeeper: Szczesny.

Arsene Wenger made two changes from his starting line-up against Sunderland four days ago.

One was in midfield, replacing Oxlade-Chamberlain with youngster Aaron Ramsey.

The other was to replace centre-back Mertesacker with wing-back Gibbs at the back and move Vermaelen to the middle.

When Pan Yi saw this change, he also nodded secretly.

The substitution of two more technically superior players for two more physical players also illustrates Wenger's idea in this game: to use technical superiority to control the game.

But Pan Yi had obviously thought of this a long time ago.

Even Barcelona, known as Team Cosmos, couldn't fully play the technique in front of Milan, so how could they be afraid of you Arsenal?

Milan's starting line-up for today also changed:

Forwards: Sadio Mane, Aubameyang, Salah.

Midfielders: N'Golo Kante, Ambrosini, Gattuso.

Defenders: Zambrotta, Thiago Silva, Van Dijk, Abate.

Goalkeeper: Edson.

When this line-up was placed in front of Wenger, the old professor vaguely felt that something was not quite right.

On the four lines, they are all a little different from the usual Milan starters!

In the goalkeeper position, Brazilian goalkeeper Ederson, who had only played in the cup before, started and put the veteran Abbiati on the bench.

At the back, the more versatile and experienced Zambrotta stepped into the left-back position, replacing youngster Desiglio.

In midfield, the physically strong Boateng did not play, replaced by the more well-rounded Ambrosini.

And the biggest surprise was in the forward line.

Ibrahimovic, who was in excellent form in Serie A and Coppa Italia before, did not even play!

Appearing in the centre-forward position is Gabonese rising star Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

This makes the scheming Wenger even more confused about what Milan is playing.

What exactly are they trying to do?

With this doubt in mind, Arsene Wenger walked over to the Milan coaching staff and shook hands with them one by one.

After hugging Allegri, Wenger looked seriously at Pan Yi, who was walking towards him.

As an insider who knows all kinds of things in football, Wenger naturally knows Pan Yi's name.

He also knows that many of Milan's tactics this season were designed and implemented by Pan Yi, so Wenger has always wanted to see this young talent in the coaching world.

It's just that when Wenger saw Pan Yizhen, he couldn't help but let out a secret sigh:

This guy is so young!

You know, Arsene Wenger was already a representative of the young coaching team back then, starting his coaching career in his early 30s when he just retired, and became the manager of the first team of Nantes at the age of 35.

And Pan Yi in front of him is only 25 years old!

is already an assistant coach of AC Milan, and his role in the team is still so big.

Although there is still a little gap between the head coach and the assistant coach, the gap between Nantes and Milan is also huge......

Not to mention that the age gap between the two when they first became coaches was ten years old.

"Hello, Mr. Wenger." Pan Yi shook Wenger's hand and said politely.

For professors, Pan Yi is naturally very respectful.

He spent 22 years with the Gunners from joining Arsenal in 1996 until retiring in 2018, making him the longest-serving manager in the same Premier League since Manchester United legend Sir Alex Ferguson.

And the fighting style between him and Ferguson has also been a long-standing scenery in the Premier League.

Although Arsenal is also a little declining now, Wenger's persistence and dedication have really made Pan Yi admire.

"Hehe, hello." Wenger also patted Pan Yi's hand, "You didn't go to Ibrahimovic today, is there any trickery?" ”

Pan Yi also laughed and said: "It's nothing, he played too much in the previous game and shouted tired all day, so let's let him rest." ”

At this time, Wenger couldn't help laughing.

Originally, I wanted to see that this coach of the Dragon Kingdom was young, so I asked him to probe his style, but I didn't expect his mouth to be quite strict - no, it was quite funny to speak.

Will Ibrahimovic be tired of playing football?

I believe you're a ghost! You're a bad boy, you're bad!

And the two smiled like this, which also greatly shortened the distance between each other, and the tension of this big battle seemed to have decreased a little.

Allegri, who had already walked back to the home team's bench, also returned curiously:

"What are you talking about, so happy?"

The two said in unison: "It's nothing." ”

Then they looked at each other and laughed again.

"I'm looking forward to fighting you tonight!" Arsene Wenger reached out again and shook hands with Allegri and Pan Yi again.

Pan Yi also nodded: "I hope it will be a wonderful game!" ”

Allegri was full of suspicion: "What the hell is this old and young man doing......
