174 Great Atletico Madrid! Great Kaka! Great goal! [10,000 words, kneeling and begging for subscription]
On the evening of April 22, the Calderón Stadium in Madrid.
In the second leg of the Champions League quarterfinals, Atletico Madrid hosted AC Milan.
It was a fierce but not exciting game.
Even compared to the first leg at the San Siro, tonight's fight was noticeably more boring.
A very important reason is that AC Milan are almost always defending in this game.
The Rossoneri were at the bottom for the most part, but their defence was very well organised.
With four defenders and three midfielders, plus two midfielders and Big Inzaghi, this formation is also a big headache for Atletico.
Pressed up to attack, but still had to stay behind him, beware of Inzaghi's counterattack.
Two weeks ago, at the San Siro Stadium, it was thanks to Inzaghi's anti-offside one-handed that AC Milan won the victory.
Ancelotti's strategy now is clearly to hold on to the draw.
So in this game, he didn't even play Pirlo, and directly arranged the back three of Seedorf, Ambrosini and Gattuso, which clearly wanted to fight Atletico Madrid.
The Italian's strategy was very clear, which was to let Atletico attack and then play on the counter-attack.
This puts higher demands on Atletico.
Yang Hao's request to the team is to make sure that they break through AC Milan's goal without conceding a goal.
From the very beginning of the game, the Bandoners were better than AC Milan, keeping their hands firmly on the pitch and creating a threat without stopping.
Atletico's players have also created chances on the pitch time and time again.
One of the most threatening attacks of the first half came in the 21st minute, when Reyes broke down the left and crossed for Torres to head in from 10 yards.
But with Maldini's interference, the header failed to top the force and was saved by Dida.
AC Milan's defence can almost be described as airtight.
After the rematch in the second half, Yang Hao still let the team actively open up the situation from the two wings.
In the 60th minute, Atletico made a tackle in front, Deco split the ball to the left, Evra cut in at high speed and passed the ball to Reyes, who struck the ball from the left rib in the penalty area.
The ball hit the left post and bounced off.
Costacuta quickly judged the landing point and pressed Torres to clear the ball with a header.
The ball fell to the edge of the penalty area, and Baraja followed, and it was directly another angry shot.
As a result, the crossbar was hit again.
Anyone could tell that Atletico lacked some luck tonight.
The game went on, and AC Milan were more on the defensive, barely putting in the attack.
By the 70th minute, both sides had almost reached a critical point in terms of fitness, and both teams began to make substitutions one after another.
But Carlo Ancelotti made only one, replacing Rivaldo with Shevchenko.
4 defenders and 3 midfielders, Ancelotti didn't dare to move any of them.
This is a recognition of Atletico, but isn't it embarrassing for Atletico Madrid?
With AC Milan's tight defence, Atletico had to shoot more from distance.
Inside the stadium, Atletico Madrid's fans began to lose their breath.
Having lost 3-2 at the San Siro in the first leg, Atletico Madrid will be eliminated from the Champions League if they fail to break through AC Milan's goal at the Calderón Stadium tonight.
But the fans at the scene also saw that AC Milan played extremely conservatively throughout the game, and even couldn't shrink directly.
This makes Atletico really unable to come up with too many offensive methods.
……
"At the critical moment, we are still not strong enough!"
In the stand of the chairman of the Calderón stadium, Cerezo said with some helplessness.
It's almost 80 minutes and looking at the current situation, it will be really difficult for Atletico to break down the AC Milan goal.
Yang Hao still has the third substitution in his hand, but he hasn't moved yet.
"They all did their best." Little Hill defended Yang Hao.
Cerezo nodded: "I don't mean to blame them, just that we are still a little worse than these mature teams at the critical moment, but we are still young. ”
The average age of Atletico is about the same as that of Ajax in the Eredivisie.
The Eredivisie side came close to reaching the quarter-finals and performed very well.
In comparison, Atletico Madrid is all good.
"After this season's workout, we'll definitely be stronger next season." Little Hill is still full of confidence in Yang Hao.
"I think recently, Yang Hao's pressure is too great." Cerezo was also helpless.
The results are there, the media are attacking, and Atletico Madrid club has no good solution.
It's impossible to get all the media to stop reporting it, right?
Before, the team lost to AC Milan and Valladolid one after another, Yang Hao did not give in to the media after the game, and since then, many media, including Asbao, have been constantly attacking Yang Hao.
Even media outlets such as El País and Marca, which have always been relatively neutral, believe that if Atletico Madrid ends up with nothing this season, then Yang Hao should be held responsible, because he did not make a choice at a critical moment.
The so-called trade-off is to make the right choice in the Champions League, La Liga and Copa del Rey.
But Yang Hao chose both.
If it's all of them, it's possible that there aren't any.
Whatever choice you make, you have to bear the consequences.
Therefore, even last weekend, after a week of rest, Atletico Madrid defeated Alaves 3-0, it still could not alleviate the external media's attack on Yang Hao, and the fans' anxiety about the team's prospects.
It's too dangerous!
Throughout the process, Atletico's press and public relations department has done a lot of things, if not, the offensive is not limited to that.
And Yang Hao didn't say a word, and directly gritted his teeth and endured it.
"I went to him for a drink the night before yesterday, and he said that he was still working on tactics, and it could be seen that he was on the same page with everyone this time, even with himself." Little Ciel smiled wryly.
Sometimes, he thinks that Yang Hao is quite pragmatic.
It's like his tactics, he never attacks when it's time to defend, even if he is scolded for being conservative, he doesn't care.
When interacting with people, he can also be quite tactful.
But sometimes, he's quite tough.
"Good on the bar, isn't this the spirit of our Atletico Madrid?" Cerezo smiled slightly.
Little Hill pondered carefully, and it made sense.
"Sometimes, you have to fight yourself to be reborn and progress, isn't it?" Cerezo asked.
If you stay in your comfort zone all the time, after a long time, people will decline.
'To be honest, he still believes that we still have a chance, as long as we beat Real Madrid in the 37th round.
Little Ciel's words made Cerezo visibly stunned for a moment.
He knew that at this moment, if he told Yang Hao's thoughts, he would definitely cause him more trouble.
Now, isn't the right to speak in Spanish football in the hands of Real Madrid and Barcelona?
Unbelief?
Barcelona fell into the relegation zone twice this season, and then the chairman stepped down, the coach changed, the management was also purged, and it climbed up step by step, and returned to 8th place in La Liga, and then what?
The vast majority of the media praised them and even thought they were doing well.
Pull it down!
Can't win 0-0 away against Sevilla, how good can Barcelona be?
If it weren't for the superstars, they would have gone home early to play with eggs.
On the other hand, Atletico Madrid, the Champions League quarterfinals, the second place in the league, and the Copa del Rey semifinals, isn't this report card good enough?
Isn't it just two games lost?
Didn't you just say a few words that provoked Real Madrid?
How many games have Real Madrid played in recent times when they were in danger?
Even, it almost collapsed several times, and you still think Real Madrid is invincible?
Before the dust finally settled in the league, Yang Hao was directly nailed to the pillar of shame.
Is this fair?
"Yang Hao is right, there has never been so-called fairness in this world, if an adult is always obsessed with fairness or unfairness, it is a kind of naivety."
"Some people are born rich, some people are born smart, some people are born handsome, and some people are born noble...... How fair? ”
"But if we are not rich, if we are not intelligent, if we are not handsome, and if we are not noble, we will not have to live? We don't have to fight? ”
"Strive for the top! Love to fight and dare to win! ”
This is what Yang Hao said to Mahada Hongda to the players before.
Soon it spread in the group.
Cerezo and Little Hill have no doubt that Yang Hao is shaping the soul of Atletico Madrid and casting the bones of Atletico Madrid.
With his character, as well as this persistent spirit.
……
Atletico are going to make a substitution.
Carlo Ancelotti turned his head to the side, just in time to see Drogba appear on the sidelines again.
His heart struck.
This season, Yang Hao likes to replace Drogba when he can't open the situation.
The Ivorians have also been able to perform very well most of the time.
His physical confrontation ability is just too strong.
Many people say that he is like Adriano.
Actually, it's not like that.
Adriano's technique is much better than his.
Both men have extraordinary physical confrontations, but their fighting styles are completely different.
Adriano has Brazilian characteristics on him, and his physical confrontation is more to match his skills and ability, for a better attack; Drogba, on the other hand, has a stronger tactical execution, and he is in the service of the team's tactics.
Thinking of this, Ancelotti walked quickly to the sideline and called out to Maldini, signaling him to pay close attention.
Ancelotti is not clear now, after Drogba goes up, will he replace Torres?
Or replace Reyes?
Just now, when Yang Hao used the first substitution, he had already replaced the card.
In this situation, Drogba will go up again, and Atletico Madrid will definitely increase their offensive efforts.
"This Atletico Madrid team has too many offensive means, and each player's characteristics are different, so it's difficult!"
Ancelotti sighed helplessly.
That's all there is to his hand, especially on the defensive end.
Therefore, he does not plan to change again.
Can it be better than these players on the pitch?
He suddenly remembered Nesta.
If Nesta had joined AC Milan last summer, he would have felt much more at ease now.
Nesta has that ability to make people feel at ease with his defense, with the defence he commands.
He's a superstar at the back.
But alas, went to Inter Milan next door.
……
"Didil, I have a very, very important task for you right now."
On the sidelines, Yang Hao looked at the time, it was almost 80 minutes, he didn't ramble anymore, and went straight to the point.
"Boss, you say."
'When you go up, don't think about scoring, your most important task is to nail me between their back three and four, to receive long balls from the back.
Yang Hao said it very clearly, and Drogba also understood that this was not very difficult for him.
But he didn't understand.
"Boss, aren't we pressing up and attacking?"
Yang Hao shook his head, "You can't press it like this anymore, you look at the current situation, the more you press, the tighter the opponent will shrink, the less space we will attack, and in a few minutes, we will really be completely finished." ”
"So, you want us to come back?"
"yes, try to give the opponent more possession and let them come out."
It's an inevitability.
Once the ball is at the feet of AC Milan, they will definitely choose to go forward.
It may still be conservative, but it's not like this.
'Let Torres keep going forward, keep their defenders up, create space between the back four and the back three, and then you can use that area and grab the first spot.'
Yang Hao said as he drew in front of Drogba with pen and paper.
"You see, once you grab the first landing point, Deco, Kaka, Torres, the three are the second landing point for you."
Between the back four and the back three, if you can grab the first landing point, control the second landing point, and then pass it to form a direct shot.
Even if Drogba ferries or passes the ball well, the second landing point can be directly kicked.
"Understood." Drogba suddenly realized.
This is also a habit of Yang Hao's tactics, we must explain things clearly and clearly, so that the players can know the intentions of the head coach and better adapt to the situation on the court.
'You have to be careful, try to pull away as much as possible, we don't have wingers now, we rely on full-backs on the wings, but the four of you have to pay attention to keep the width and depth to open the AC Milan defence, as long as you tear a hole, we have a chance to score.'
Yang Hao said very firmly.
His tone and look gave Drogba confidence.
"I see."
"Come on, don't think too much, concentrate on the execution of tactics, trust me, we can win!"
"I know, Boss, none of us ever doubted you!" Drogba said sincerely.
Yang Hao was a little moved, but smiled and patted Drogba's shoulder and motioned him to hurry up.
……
Taking advantage of a dead goal, Drogba replaced Reyes.
The Spaniard has been in excellent form this season, but tonight he had a lot of fun with Simic and it was a lot of physical exertion.
AC Milan's players weren't much better.
After Drogba came on the pitch, he quickly ran to the front.
Soon, he revealed the tactics of head coach Yang Hao to Kaka, Deco and Torres, and the four of them got together, quickly discussed the specific implementation plan, and then dispersed.
Yang Hao was also on the sidelines, taking advantage of a dead ball opportunity, called Xavi Alonso over and explained the specific tactical changes to him, and the latter immediately knew the manager's intentions.
The game restarted, and it was already 83 minutes.
It was clear to everyone that with Atletico's last substitution, the game was getting more tense and more intense, and the atmosphere was something that all the fans in the Calderón stadium could feel.
It's not just a football game.
It is the most decisive battle in the quarter-finals of the Champions League!
This game is about millions, if not tens of millions of euros!
There are also countless fans around the world, crouching in front of the TV, watching this matchup.
The last 7 minutes were the most decisive.
When the game resumed, the Atletico players tried to launch an attack, but the ball was quickly snatched by the AC Milan players, and it was Didier Drogba who ran and pressed.
The likes of Torres, Deco and Kaka were just running slowly.
It looks like it gives a feeling.
"The Atletico players seem to be starting to lose their ability to run."
"It's also normal, it's 83 minutes now."
'They had a big impact on AC Milan tonight, the players did a lot of these back-and-forth sprints, it was very physical, and that's what we've been talking about all along.
'AC Milan's defensive counter-attack looks very conservative, but it is actually very solid, and Carlo Ancelotti may even be planning to wait until Atletico is attritional, and then he will let the team press out to attack.
"It's also a tactic that Italian teams often use, avoiding Atletico's edge."
At the beginning, AC Milan were obviously cautious when it came to the ball.
Gradually, however, they began to press forward.
In the 85th minute, Rivaldo tried to break through with the ball on the left side and was tackled by McConn, giving AC Milan a throw-in opportunity from 30 yards out.
Karadze comes up to throw the throw-in.
AC Milan's players also began to come forward to respond, and the overall formation also pressed forward.
Atletico stepped back and went straight into their own half.
Karadze tried to throw the ball directly to Shevchenko, but the Ukrainian nuclear warhead failed to reach the ball.
The ball is headed to Carvalho by Lucio.
AC Milan were quick to get back in action.
"Wait, there's no chance, walk the ground, give it to me." Xavi Alonso came running to pick him up.
Carvalho immediately kicked the ball to Xavi Alonso, who, without the slightest interference, stopped the ball and turned to instigate the attack head-on.
He saw that AC Milan was very quick to return to the defense, and immediately decided to slow down the attack and go to the ground to cooperate.
Yang Hao saw it, walked to the sideline again, and shouted to the Atletico Madrid players, "Don't worry, be a little patient." ”
The more urgent you are, the more likely you are to make mistakes.
But this time the ball reached the front, and it still didn't enter the 30-meter area, and it was tackled by AC Milan.
Seedorf pushed forward with the ball, and AC Milan's formation began to press forward a little further to support the attack in front.
When the ball was about to be passed to Rivaldo, Baraja, who was still some distance away, suddenly took a lunge.
Baraja is not tall, only 1.77 meters, and this sudden explosiveness is a very favorite means for his defense, and he can often catch the receiver off guard.
It's like Rivaldo now.
Just as he was about to stop the ball, he saw that Baraha had rushed to him.
Trying to pass the ball out again, Baraja had already stepped out to block it.
The ball was blocked by Baraja and rolled to the side of the two.
Xavi Alonso stepped forward quickly, glanced ahead as he ran, and shouted, "Didier." ”
Drogba has been preparing for a long time, always there.
When Xavi Alonso stopped the ball, he immediately saw Drogba, who raised his hand, and directly made a long pass to the past.
At this point, Drogba has even retreated to the vicinity of AC Milan's 30-metre zone.
Ambrosini has a good position and header ability, so this time Drogba deflected to his left side, which is the area of Gattuso on the right side of AC Milan.
He occupies a position in the middle of the two midfielders.
When Xavi Alonso's long pass arrived, Drogba quickly judged where to land and adjusted his position.
Ambrosini and Gattuso both reacted and ran towards Drogba at the same time.
AC Milan's right wing-back Simic also rushed forward for the first time, trying to flank Drogba with the two teammates in front of him.
In the left rib area, Drogba is the tallest and the strongest in the strength confrontation, plus he preemptively stuck the most advantageous position, and when the ball flew over, he jumped high and jumped high, like a god.
AC Milan weren't nervous at all.
Because it's too far from the goal, and Drogba is facing directly away from the goal.
Header?
How far can it go?
So, AC Milan's defensive focus is on Fernando Torres.
Torres also knew Drogba's intentions for a long time, and when the Ivorians ran to grab the first landing point, he also ran to the left rib, and when Drogba grabbed the first landing point, the header rubbed and ferried, Torres was right behind him.
Drogba's header from the ferry hit the ground quickly.
Torres arrived just in time to take his position, blocking Costacuta with his body and drawing Maldini to the left.
After the ball hit the ground and bounced back, Torres went straight to the foot and blocked the ball to Deco, who came in the back row.
The Brazilian midfielder quickly stepped forward past Drogba, just in time for Torres' return pass and took another step forward.
Maldini barely had any time to react, and as soon as he leaned over, he saw Deco dribbling forward, and he could only choose to go up and block Deco first.
But at this moment, Deco made a diagonal pass with the outside of his right foot.
The ball slid diagonally past Maldini's unreachable body and landed to the right of the top of the arc.
A figure with red and white arrow stripes is thrusting forward at breakneck speed.
Kaka gritted his teeth and sprinted as fast as he could.
Karadze also realized the danger and immediately pounced on the football.
The two are competing for speed.
And everything happened so fast just now, almost everyone was touching the ball with one foot, and all the fans in the stadium only had time to let out their own exclamations at this moment.
Even, some fans have already stood up from their seats and shouted loudly.
"Kaka !!"
Kaka sprinted as fast as he could, and finally at the top of the arc, he grabbed ahead of Kaladze, kicked the ball around, and after avoiding Kaladze, he sprinted forward and rushed directly into the penalty area.
"Dangerous !!"
"Atletico have stormed into the box!!"
"Kaka !!"
Time seemed to freeze in an instant.
Everyone saw that Kaka rushed into the AC Milan penalty area at great speed, rushed to the penalty spot, caught up with the ball he had thrown out, and stabbed the ball before the attacking goalkeeper Dida.
The ball passed past Dida and pasted against the turf.
The AC Milan goalkeeper landed quickly, but still slightly slowly.
The ball went into the AC Milan goal.
And Kaka didn't slow down at all just now, after scoring the goal, he went around in a circle, turned and rushed to the sidelines.
Behind him, there was the whistle of the referee for the effective goal.
At this moment, Yang Hao's mind suddenly gave birth to Li Baida's poem.
The silver saddle shines on the white horse, like a shooting star. Kill one person in ten steps, and don't stay for a thousand miles. After the incident, the clothes are gone, and the merit and fame are hidden.
“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!”
"In the 87th minute, Atletico finally broke through the AC Milan goal!"
"Kaka broke the deadlock on the pitch for Atletico Madrid at a crucial moment!"
"Oh my God, it's definitely a goal worth a thousand dollars!"
"Great Atletico Madrid! Great Kaka! Great goal!! ”
Kaka prayed all the way, ran wildly all the way, and finally rushed to the front of the home team's coach's seat, rushed to the front of the head coach Yang Hao, and even because he rushed too fast, he couldn't stop the car, and jumped directly on Yang Hao's body and threw him on the sidelines.
"Ahh!!hh
All the Atletico players rushed over in a frenzy.
Even the players on the bench rushed over to celebrate.
Cech was in front of goal, and the whole person fell to his knees on the grass, screaming incessantly.
"Congratulations to Atletico Madrid!"
"It's really a wonderful offensive combination!"
"They went on the attack for 87 minutes and finally knocked on AC Milan's goal just before the end of the game!"
'Carlo Ancelotti has reason to be unhappy with the result, but he was just too conservative.'
"Even, in Serie A this season, many people accused Ancelotti of being on par with Inter Milan's Cooper."
"But the problem is that Cooper's side haven't been conservative this season, they've been more balanced."
"Now, Ancelotti has paid the price for his conservatism!"
"The goal in the 87th minute, it was definitely a golden goal for Atletico."
"Since they have two goals on the road, although they lost 2-3, but 1-0 at home, they can eliminate AC Milan and reach the semi-finals of the Champions League with away goals."
The whole Calderón stadium went completely crazy.
More than 50,000 fans rushed out of their seats in a frenzy, all cheering and shouting hoarsely.
Everyone was surprised by the sudden goal, and they couldn't believe that the team could break through AC Milan's goal at the last minute.
But it is precisely because they can't think of it that they are even crazier and more out of control.
At the urging of the referee, the players walked back to the pitch.
And a scene that made everyone feel funny appeared.
Yang Hao lay upright on the grass, looking like he had just experienced some kind of unspeakable devastation.
made the referee very puzzled, and ran over to care about his situation, for fear that he would be injured.
Yang Hao is very sensitive when he sees the referee now, and his first sentence is: "Don't take out the cards, I still have half of them online." ”
Hauge, the referee from Norway, couldn't help laughing, "I'm not going to pull out the cards, I'm just asking, are you okay?" ”
"It's okay, it's just so cool, I suddenly don't want to move." After Yang Hao finished speaking, he couldn't help laughing.
Finally getting up from the grass, Yang Hao first saw the group of players who had just "destroyed" him, and they all ran back to the stadium gloatingly, and then looked at Ancelotti in front of the away team's coach's box.
Yang Haoden was happy again.
An Fatzi is going to be replaced, and he wants to change two people in one go.
Tommasson and Serginho.
This is a clear signal to intensify the offensive.
Yang Hao laughed again.
If you know now, why bother just now?
NND, you're like a turtle, huddled there for 87 minutes.
Are you willing to give it up now?
It's late!
Yang Hao walked to the sidelines and shouted loudly to the players, signaling them to waste more time and not to entangle with them more.
Also, the defense retreats a little, stabilize first, and don't give AC Milan a chance to score.
"It's been 87 minutes, if AC Milan can play an attacking threat now, then I'll kneel for you!"
Yang Hao walked back to the home team's coach's seat and muttered while taking the water.
Juanmar Lillo and others knew that he was in a good mood at the moment.
And it turns out that AC Milan has been holding on for too long, and the player consumption is too great.
Although in the last few minutes, I tried desperately to attack, but I couldn't do anything.
Atletico Madrid ended up beating AC Milan 1-0 at home thanks to Kaka's goal.
The first leg was 2-3 on aggregate, but Atletico beat AC Milan with two away goals.
……
When the whistle blew at the end of the game, Yang Hao raised his eyebrows and raised his fists high and shouted loudly to the fans in the stands.
And this group of lovely fans let out hoarse cheers and shouts, giving their appreciation for the team's outstanding performance, and many people even shouted the names of Yang Hao and the players.
It's sparse and intertwined, but you can still hear it if you listen closely.
Yang Hao quickly regained his composure and turned around and walked to the away team's coach's seat.
"It was a great game! Your defenses are just too strong! ”
Yang Hao smiled at Ancelotti from afar.
Ancelotti was speechless, and after shaking hands with Yang Hao, the whole person was still sighing.
"In the first leg, I thought we were going to draw and we won; Tonight, I thought we were going to win, and it turned out ......"
Ancelotti shook his head in embarrassment.
In this game, AC Milan has actually done their best.
Compared with Yang Hao's previous life, AC Milan this season has one less Nesta.
To be honest, in Yang Hao's opinion, I really didn't feel any difference, because AC Milan's defense was as solid as ever.
But it is also impossible to say that there are no effects.
Perhaps, with Nesta, Atletico Madrid's goal will not be scored tonight.
Some players feel like it's nothing big when they're there, but when they lose it, the gap is very obvious.
Especially for a defensive player like Nesta.
But unfortunately, there is no way to make such a visual comparison now.
"It's a pity I didn't play Pirlo tonight." Yang Hao is really weird.
Andrea Pirlo was on the bench, but Carlo Ancelotti didn't let him play the whole game.
Ancelotti smiled awkwardly, "Don't think I don't know, you let Deco stare at him in the first round." ”
"So, why don't you let him go tonight?"
Ancelotti was noncommittal.
Andrea Pirlo didn't play, AC Milan's midfield was completely out of control, and the game was completely controlled by Atletico.
But at least, AC Milan's midfield defended solidly and held out until the 87th minute.
If Pirlo had been restrained by Yang Hao's carefully arranged targeted tactics, would it have conceded earlier, or even more?
Ancelotti himself wasn't particularly sure.
Andrea Pirlo is a special player.
Coming from a midfield background, Carlo Ancelotti tried to drag him down the line, sometimes very well, but sometimes mediocre.
Obviously, both Andrea Pirlo and the AC Milan players are adapting to a change in his position.
Even Carlo Ancelotti is adapting and grinding.
"How? Raised eyebrows? Ancelotti looked at Yang Hao and asked.
In the past time, Yang Hao has been attacked and even humiliated by the Spanish media in every way.
In fact, there is nothing wrong with what he said.
For example, the league is not over and Real Madrid will make mistakes.
Is there a problem with this?
Could it be that two teams that are attacking the championship can't fight a little psychological warfare with each other?
But in the eyes of the Spanish media and fans, Yang Hao, you can't say that.
Why?
Because that's Real Madrid!
"I'm not at the time to raise my eyebrows yet, but you ......" Yang Hao looked at Ancelotti and smiled, "You must be unlucky." ”
Speaking of which, Yang Hao really feels a little weird.
In his previous life, AC Milan was supposed to play Juventus in the Champions League final this season.
But now, AC Milan has been stopped by him in the quarterfinals.
In Yang Hao's view, this is also normal, because the current AC Milan is indeed at this level.
If you want to win the championship, even if AC Milan makes it past the quarterfinals, can he beat Inter Milan in the semi-finals?
No one will accept this statement, and no one will analyze it calmly.
Carlo Ancelotti, you lose the Champions League, you have to pay the consequences.
Therefore, Yang Hao imagined that An Fatzi must be unlucky next.
"You don't worry about me anymore." Carlo Ancelotti wasn't worried.
He's all used to being attacked by the media.
Even when he coached Juventus before, he was scolded by the media all day long, and he was scolded for being the second oldest in 10,000 years.
Well, now he's not even the second.
"In the semi-finals, be careful when touching Inter Milan, you can be considered self-inflicted now."
Carlo Ancelotti's side lost 2-0 away to Inter Milan in Serie A not long ago, with Adriano scoring a brace.
This damn Brazilian center forward is really doing really well.
Inter Milan have really been strong this season.
Although Ronaldo was sent away, Adriano was brought in in front, Cambiasso was added in midfield, and Nesta and Aurelio were available at the back.
As you can imagine, Cooper's team swept the entire Apennines as if they had taken off.
The three players brought in from Atletico Madrid have all played a crucial role.
So, to some extent, Cooper really has to thank Yang Hao.
Of course, the most deserving of thanks is Moratti's banknotes.
Daddy Mo is so tyrant!
"Let's do it." Ancelotti gave Yang Hao encouragement.
After Yang Hao thanked him, he turned around and walked to the home team's coach's seat.
Inter Milan are really strong, very strong.
Among other things, Aurelio, Materazzi, Nesta and Zanetti, plus goalkeeper Santoldo.
This line of defense is much stronger than AC Milan's old, weak, sick and disabled.
On the front line, Adriano, Vieri, Recoba, which one is not feared?
Not to mention the introduction of Batistuta, as well as substitutes such as Ventola, Cuarón and Martins.
Even in the weaker midfield, there are famous players such as Kili Gonzalez, Farinos, Cambiaso, Dalmat, Di Biagio, and Cristiano Zanetti.
If I had to say anything, it would be that the right side of the front field would be relatively weak, and at the moment it is the Portuguese Conseição.
Today's Inter Milan, under Cooper's tutelage, has an extraordinary overall strength.
Therefore, they are also the second favourites to win the Champions League this season by the major bookmakers in Europe, after Real Madrid.
And speaking of Real Madrid.
The Galaxy's record came after a 4-3 defeat to Manchester United in the first leg at Old Trafford, with Ronaldo scoring a hat-trick and putting in an impressive performance.
And Beckham, who came on as a substitute, also scored a brace, which also shone brightly.
Yang Hao was not surprised by this game, his only doubt was that the Russian tycoon who was about to stir up trouble in European football and create a new era was still going to Old Trafford to watch the game like in his previous life?
He vaguely remembers that the game completely changed the power landscape of European football.
Lost away from home, but it wasn't a big problem for Real Madrid.
Therefore, after returning to the home field, Real Madrid reversed Manchester United 3-1 with Raul's brace and Figo's goal, with an aggregate score of 6-5, and successfully sent Manchester United back to his hometown in England.
Ferguson's team was at Old Trafford, and the overall performance was indeed not ideal, and it was completely suppressed by Real Madrid.
It wasn't until the second half that Ruud van Nistelrooy's goal saved face for United.
Judging from the course of the two-legged match, it makes sense that Manchester United were eliminated.
In the other matchup, Valencia returned home to lose 2-1 at home to Inter Milan after losing 1-0 away to Inter Milan in the first leg.
Vieri opened the scoring for Inter Milan with an assist from Adriano.
Aimar then equalised for Valencia.
But in the 51st minute, Cambiaso assisted Adriano for another goal.
In the end, Inter Milan defeated Valencia 2-1 with Adriano's pass and shot, and eliminated the Bats 3-1 on aggregate.
Cooper had a very unpleasant quarrel with Valencia before, and this time he was able to eliminate Valencia at the Mestania Stadium, which can be regarded as raising his eyebrows.
Especially from the course of the game, Inter Milan performed better than Valemposia, especially in midfield.
The final matchup came from Juventus and Deportivo La Coruna.
The Bianconeri drew 1-1 at home to Super Laco to give Irueta's side a valuable away goal.
In the second leg, the two sides had a lively battle at the Riazor Stadium.
By the 53rd minute of the second half, Nedved had opened the scoring for Juventus, but Belleron had equalised quickly.
The game was deadlocked and ended up in extra time.
Until the last minute, Pandiani's goal helped Deportivo La Coruna beat Juventus at a critical moment.
In the end, Super Laco eliminated Juventus 3-2 on aggregate.
At this moment, the Champions League semi-final list was released.
La Liga teams once again have three teams reaching the semi-finals.
According to the previous draw schedule, in the semi-finals, Real Madrid played Deportivo La Coruna, while Atletico Madrid played Inter Milan.
As Ancelotti said, Yang Hao is also very troubled by the star-studded team that Cooper has coached.
