Three or four days passed in the blink of an eye, and the triangular race on the 18th officially began, and the Workers' Stadium was full. In fact, AC Milan is an old friend for Chinese fans, at the beginning of the domestic professional league in 1994, when AC Milan completed three consecutive Serie A championships, and the Champions League final of that year easily defeated the La Liga giant Barcelona 4:0, in June of that year, Milan made its first visit to China, No. 11, No. 14 and No. 16 defeated the Brazilian powerhouse Da Gama with a score of 3:2, defeated the Liaoning team 4:1, but finally lost to Guoan 1:2 in the game on the 16th, At that time, Xie Feng, who was still in the Guoan team, broke the deadlock with a cross from Gao Feng in the opening 12 minutes, Panucci equalized with a header in the 30th minute of the game, and a penalty kick in the 47th minute of Kuaima Gaofeng made AC Milan regretfully defeated, it is said that the coach at the time Capello was very dissatisfied with the team's performance, and he was also very unconvinced that the team lost to a Chinese team, of course, that visit to China was just in time for the World Cup, many big stars in the Milan team were absent, plus 6 days and 3 games, there are also some physical problems, and there is nothing unacceptable about losing.

In 1995, AC Milan visited China again, this time a week earlier and with four matches. The opponent of the first game is Li Boen's Guangzhou Sun God team, when the Sun God team was the runner-up of the league, the Guangzhou team lost 1:4 in this game, it is very interesting that at that time the Milan team had Futre who is now playing for Beijing Guoan, this guy also scored 1 goal, and the Sun God team finally scored a face-saving goal by Hu Zhijun. Then Milan sank Sichuan Quanxing 4:0, and faced Guoan again in the third game, Milan, who was eager for revenge, did not expect to be forced to draw by the opponent in regular time, and finally defeated Guoan 5:4 in the penalty shootout, barely realizing the wish for revenge.

In 1996, Milan came again, this time the Italians learned to be smart, Lao Tzu doesn't play with your national security, MD this team is very evil, not easy to play, hard bones. Then Milan brought in Guoan's sworn enemy Shenhua to play, probably to satirize Guoan with an easy victory over Shanghai Shenhua's performance? Who knows, anyway, in the end, Shenhua didn't let AC Milan play very comfortably, relying on Navade's goal in the second half to defeat Shenhua.

The boy naturally remembers the history of AC Milan, and when arranging the game with Galliani this year, Li Bourne also specially asked if he wanted to bring Beijing Guoan to play together, the old man thought about it or refused, and the reason given was that he didn't want other teams to come in and steal the limelight, after all, this game was mainly for Li Bourne to join Milan to build momentum.

The first half of the triangular match was played by AC Milan against the new Serie A champions Parma. Because it was a match in China, Peng Boss wore Parma's captain's armband for the first time. The two sides are the main players in this year's China competition, and for Milan, who lost the qualification for the championship early last season, they are also holding back their strength to make a comeback in the new season after completing the squad adjustment after the season. This half of the game was played extremely intensely, completely different from the commercial games of previous years, and the Chinese fans finally enjoyed the real confrontation of the Serie A championship team at the first half of the time.

Strictly speaking, the overall strength of the Serie A teams in the era of the small World Cup is not very different, at this time the Serie A team pays attention to the balance of offense and defense, and the shortcomings on each line will not be particularly obvious, the strong team and the weak team are largely determined by the strength of the top stars in the team, and when the star is in a downturn, the team will lose its own advantages, which is why the Serie A Seven Sisters often lose when they meet other teams.

Parma won the kick-off and after the kick-off, both teams played unhurriedly. As teams in the same league, they naturally know each other very well, and what makes Li Boen most pleased is that Peng Weiguo plays with ease on the field. Milan's midfielders in this game are French Desailly and Albertini, Peng Weiguo quickly adjusted his style of play after being tackled by Desailly in the opening game, relying more on the passing and cutting cooperation between teammates to deal with the tough defense of Milan's back, Crespo and Chiesa also often retreat to respond, which shows that Peng Weiguo has completely established himself in Parma this season, and his teammates now have a very high degree of trust in him.

In the 11th minute of the first half, Peng Weiguo gave the ball to Meli on the right side, who faced Maldini's defense and distributed the ball to Crespo who pulled out in the middle to answer, Chiesa stepped forward to open the gap in front of Costacuta, Crespo made the ball to Peng Da, and the Chinese forward waist met the ball is a kick, Milan goalkeeper Taibi couldn't react, but fortunately the ball was slightly higher than the crossbar by half a point.

After this attack, AC Milan's situation on the pitch began to fall into the favor, this season Baggio's switch to Bologna caused the team's athleticism to decline, and a group of goalmouth finishers such as Kluivert, Weah, and Anderson on the front line struggled with no one to feed the ball, and Ibrahim on the left flank. The breakthrough like the stunned head is often a meat bun beating a dog, and there is no return. Donadoni on the right side is difficult to support, Milan's midfield has completely lost its vitality, and Milan only finished 10th in the season in the previous season, the main reason is this.

In the stands, he watched the game for more than 20 minutes with Galliani, and before leaving, the bald manager asked Li Bourne about his prediction for the game, and the boy replied to him and went down to prepare for the game of the Guangzhou team. The sentence "lost" made Galliani feel uncomfortable, my dignified Milan is now lonely like this?

Sure enough, in the 31st minute of the first half, Parma midfielder Klipa stole Ibrahim. Ba Chenggong, the first time to pass the ball to Crespo in front, the Argentine controlled the first point and distributed the ball to the side plugged in Thuram, the latter plugged straight, Peng Weiguo cut in from the inside of the penalty area with an oblique insertion, the edge line of the big penalty area inverted triangle back pass, Chiesa followed up in the middle and easily pushed the score. Parma leads Milan 1-0.

Milan, which was one goal behind, had to step up their attack, and in the 38th minute of the game, Donadoni's breakthrough on the right caused a foul on Thuram, Boban took a free kick to the front point, Desailly and Cannavaro collided together, the ball flew towards the middle, Milan's central defender Cruz and his own striker Kluivert grabbed together, and then the ball was pushed out of the penalty area by Crespo, who returned to the defense. Dino Baggio won the battle with Albertini, the only Baggio on the field quickly passed the ball to Peng Weiguo in front, Chiesa ran decisively to the left wing before Peng Da could receive the ball, and also took away Milan full-back Zige. Peng Weiguo observed the situation on the field before receiving the ball, behind the defense of Costacuta, a pass with his right foot, the ball flew between Costacuta and Maldini, the fullback Benalivo quickly stepped forward, the old horse quickly turned around and threw off his arms to chase up, but unfortunately he was still half a step slower than the opponent, and the front court formed a 3-on-3 situation. Benalivo's original intention was to find Peng Weiguo in the middle, so he was happy to score a goal, and he should be happy to score a goal, but he was disturbed by the old horse's flying tackle, and the low flat ball hit Maldini's leg and changed direction and spun and flew towards the back point. Zieg was about to jump up and clear the ball with a header, when suddenly Chiesa behind him came out, a volley lay on his side and hit the goal, the score was rewritten to 2:0, Ziegy is good at everything, it's just too slow!

With less than 10 minutes remaining, Milan completed a header in front of the goal by Kluivert, but unfortunately it was a little far from the goal and did not pose much of a threat, the ball was firmly held in Buffon's arms, Crespo also received a cross from Peng Weiguo, stopped slightly wider under the interference of Costa Kuta, and barely completed a stabbing shot, the ball deflected off the post.

At the end of the 45-minute half, the 96/97 Serie A champions defeated AC Milan, who were only 11th in the season, 2-0, and Peng Weiguo won the MVP of the first half with a good performance on the pitch and an assist and four dangerous passes.
