(Maopu Chinese) For some reason, as soon as he saw the Milan players opposite, Zhao Yaning suddenly remembered a poem in his heart: In this door last year, the peach blossoms on the faces of people were red.

Zhao Yaning himself is not a person who has read a lot of books, but he has heard this poem. However, the meaning of this poem has not been understood until now - although it may be far from the original meaning, after all, the original intention of people should be to write about love, and Zhao Yaning is now using him Li Ai to describe his enemy. However, Zhao Yaning really felt that he had some understanding of the meaning of this. Although he felt that there should be some more suitable verses, however, he did not read much and could not remember them.

Now Milan has reached the final stage of its peak, and they are no longer the time to dominate the storm two years ago.

Two years ago, Milan was so high-spirited, they had a back line that was difficult to make up in the game, they had the best strikers, Inzaghi didn't even have a chance to sit on the bench, they also had a very good midfield, they could squeeze Rivaldo out of position, and had to leave Milan. They were the best in the world in terms of control and passing ability at the time - but, two years later, they are really old.

Cafu and Kaladze have lost their place in the main team, while Maldini has already broken all sorts of records for the oldest age along the way this season. Inzaghi has scored a lot of goals this season, and the total number of goals in European competitions has even reached 56, and he is about to catch up with Raul's European goal record, but even so, people can't ignore that he is already very old.

Milan is really old...... Two years ago, we were weak to challenge the strong, but now, we have surpassed you.

Milan has been the strongest team in the world since 03, although for various reasons - Juventus's suppression in the league, the reversal of 04,05 in the Champions League, and the death of a misjudgment in 06, they died very unjustly, which also makes them until now, are not enough honor.

This is also their last chance, but what they have to do is to kill their chance. Zhao Yaning felt a little sad in his heart: seeing others getting old, he inevitably felt a little imaginative.

However, this also made him firm in one thought: give them a ride, the warrior must have the warrior's way to die.

"In this game, Liverpool wore red and Milan wore white. This is the second Champions League final meeting between the two teams in three years, and the fourth consecutive time Liverpool have faced a Serie A side in the Champions League final. At the same time, because England and Italy now have 10 Champions Leagues each, this is also the 11th Champions League trophy competition between the two countries, while Milan has six Champions League trophies and Liverpool has five, which is also a major competition for their two teams to catch up with Real Madrid's trophy tally. ”

The commentator was talking about those tentative things, while Zhao Yaning was looking at the opponent's lineup.

The goalkeeper is still Dida - although the Brazilian's form has plummeted since '05, and he is no longer as brave as Spider-Man, he is still Milan's most trusted goalkeeper.

At the back, there is a four-man defense line consisting of Otto, Nesta, Maldini and Jankulovski.

Compared with the super defense line composed of Cafu, Nesta, Stam and Maldini, in this game, Milan's defense is really much worse.

However, they still have two proud defenders, Nesta and Maldini. This game is already Maldini's eighth Champions League final - this result has already equaled Real Madrid's Hento. In this game, he also broke the record of participating as captain for the third time, the record for the oldest age other than a goalkeeper, and the age record for the captain of the Champions League final. Maldini has maintained his form very well, and he has been one of the most indispensable stalwarts of Milan until now.

And Kaladze and Cafu were already on the bench at this time. Although they are younger, their form is no longer suitable for the players, they are no longer them.

As we all know, among the biggest shortcomings of Milan, the full-backs' attacking ability has declined, resulting in the two wings can no longer effectively insert to assist the attack, and the central defenders are too old to successfully defend high-altitude balls, which are all big problems in Milan's midfield.

On the midfield line of Milan, there are three midfielders who play together - Gattuso, Pirlo, and Ambrosini, while in front of them, Seedorf and Kaka, and on the forward line, the veteran Inzaghi.

Such a lineup is not unexpected, Milan's midfielders are only a few of them are more useful, and their line-up has been expected long before the game. Andrea Pirlo is in charge of the back, Gattuso is in charge of the midfield destruction, Ambrosini is in front of the penalty area, Seedorf is more of a counter-attacker, Kaka is in charge of counter-attacking, and Inzaghi is in charge of scoring goals - Milan's attacking system has changed very little but is very powerful.

This season, Carlo Ancelotti has regained the Christmas tree, with Ambrosini playing as a regular and strengthening the protection at the back. Seedorf was promoted from central midfield to midfield, and was responsible for the playmaking along with Kaka. In the final analysis, such a change is due to the decline in Milan's midfield control, and the defensive measures that have to be made. Fortunately, the idea has been successful and the run-in in Milan's defence is excellent right now.

With no good enough substitutes, it's hard for them to make any changes, and the depth of the squad dictates their form of play. However, even with such a lineup, they are not to be underestimated. This midfielder is well-matched, almost perfect, and it is still extremely difficult to deal with.

"Milan's formation is exactly as we expected, with a 4321 Christmas tree formation." Huang Jiaxiang said.

In fact, Milan's formation is already close to 4411. Seedorf was also lagging behind many times. It's just that the Christmas tree in Milan is famous, so Huang Jiaxiang said so.

Liverpool, on the other hand, have discharged the style of play they are used to. Reina is in goal, the back line is Reese, Carragher, Vidic, McConn, the midfielders are Mascherano and Alonso as the back, the front is Zhao Yaning, Gerrard, Figo as the front, and the forward position is still Milito.

"Liverpool's squad, compared to two years ago, has only five players left who are still the main players, while Milan has retained the vast majority of the squad from two years ago. Milan are experienced, but Liverpool are full of momentum, and it is difficult to predict who will win this game. ”

And with the referee's whistle, the game finally began.

"After the start of the game, both sides played more conservatively, no one immediately launched a strong offensive, they were cautiously probing, obviously, both sides are extremely afraid of the strength of the opponent, and now neither of them dares to make too many offensive moves......

The delay in launching an attack in the backfield is not only due to the tactical arrangement, but also because Zhao Yaning himself is also observing the strength of the opponent.

Although before the start of the game, Zhao Yaning expected that the opponent's defensive strategy would probably start to rely on Gattuso in the midfield to sweep and destroy in front after coming up, and Ambrosini would defend in the back, but although he had expected it for a long time, after all, the game had to be on the field to see the state, especially in the face of a strong player like Milan, and it was the Champions League final, Zhao Yaning did not dare to be too careless, therefore, after the opening, he was also carefully observing the opponent, Try to see what your opponent has to do before you make a plan.

And Zhao Yaning soon discovered that the cautious arrangement of Milan greatly exceeded Zhao Yaning's expectations. The three lines between them were very tight, and it could be said that there was no extra space, Zhao Yaning observed carefully, but he couldn't find any flaws. This made him also believe: Milan is definitely prepared for this game, they are menacing and not easy to deal with.

Before the game, Milan made a rare announcement that the training ground would be closed and the training would not be open to the public. Such an attitude had already surprised many people at the time, and the media, which did not get first-hand news, even said that Milan was pretending. However, looking at Milan's current arrangement, Zhao Yaning felt that he was afraid that Milan was indeed thinking about revenge, and their arrangement was a closed training for revenge.

Then, I guess I am also the focus of their targeting. Zhao Yaning thought about it in his heart.

Because he couldn't get Milan's training materials, and the reference value of Milan's league games was not very large, Zhao Yaning watched the two-legged match between Milan and Manchester United quite carefully before the game. He was quite impressed by Kaka's dragonfly-like goals in those two legs, but what surprised him even more was that Xiao Xiaoluo was suffocated all over the field.

Zhao Yaning naturally knew Xiao Xiaoluo's level, and seeing him completely blocked by Milan by relying on tactics also made Zhao Yaning quite moved. He wanted to know how good Milan's defense was to make Xiao Xiaoluo helpless, and what if he faced such a defense himself?

And after the game really started, seeing the close deployment of Milan's layers of defense, and the close care of the front and back, Zhao Yaning also knew that they were indeed extremely good in this regard, and considering their previous special training, it is estimated that they have also carried out special defense arrangements. However, this also made Zhao Yaning suddenly have the idea of trying, he took the ball and began to move forward: his attempt, not because he thought that he would be able to break the opponent's defense by himself, but because he wanted to know how good the opponent's defense was? Should I insist on breaking through, or should I be involved instead? The opponent's defensive intensity can greatly affect their own way of playing, Milan's players are relatively old, and Zhao Yaning also wants to find out what their defensive intensity is at this time.

Sure enough, as he expected, after he took a few steps forward, Gattuso had already posted it. Zhao Yaning didn't force himself to come to him, but took a step towards the side by himself, avoiding his frontal interception - what Zhao Yaning wanted to do was to be tempted, so it would be nice to be able to run out more.

However, Gattuso immediately pressed up, and without hesitation, he relied on the opponent Zhao Yaning.

Behind him, Seedorf intercepted Zhao Yaning's passing line, and in front of Zhao Yaning, Otto also rushed over.

I see.

Gattuso made me miss, Seedorf defended me and then blocked my attack with Otto or Ambrosini.

It's really a good cooperation, Zhao Yaning praised in his heart, but it's not necessarily impeccable! Cat flutter Chinese
