In Scotland in November, the temperature is around 16 degrees Celsius, and the weather is neither hot nor cold, which is very suitable for ball games.

In another month, the weather will become even harsher.

After beating AC Milan in the third round of the Champions League group stage, Rangers are in the spotlight in Europe.

In Group E of the Champions League, the lesser-known teams from Scotland are level on points with AC Milan, finishing second behind Lyon and Stuttgart.

That kind of performance has made Rangers the talk of the town.

Of course, there are many topics, but whether they can successfully qualify is also a question.

After all, they performed well in the first three rounds of the Champions League group stage, but because they didn't play well in the last three rounds, there were many teams that ended up losing all the games.

But clearly, Rangers are not among them.

Their head coach says it's a new challenge to start and they need to be more connected in order to have a chance of qualifying.

That's right!

Rangers are already thinking about qualifying.

At first, they didn't have that kind of idea.

However, after three rounds of finishing second in the group and equalizing AC Milan on points, some bold ideas and ambitions still began to grow.

On November 7th, the AC Milan team arrived in Scotland. City of Glasgow.

When the whole Milan squad arrived, they were naturally the focus of the media.

"Suke! Will Milan have the confidence to beat Rangers this time? ”

"Can you tell us about the game in the third round?"

"Playing away, do Milan want to win or get a draw!"

The media looked like they were watching the excitement.

Obviously, they would love to see AC Milan fall even more completely, and it would be even more exciting if Suker was blown up by another player.

Su Ke ignored the media and followed the team all the way to the bus.

"These guys are disgusting!"

Pato sat on the bus and complained.

Pato was not selected in the squad and was unable to play in the game.

Despite having registered for the Champions League at the start of the season, due to Brazil's side, it will not be available until January.

The reason why Milan took him to the game was mainly to let him feel the atmosphere of the Champions League in advance.

It also helped him to put it straight into use in the second half of the season.

Carlo Ancelotti is very keen to accelerate Pato's growth, which can also give Milan a lot of attacking support today.

The bus will take you to your hotel.

The whole Milan team made check-in arrangements under the filmed by the media.

"Why should I live with him?"

Su Ke pointed to the suitcase, and Pato, who was dazed, protested: "I ask for redistribution!" ”

Ancelotti looked at Suke: "You don't take care of him very well, you two have just one room." ”

Sooke: "I'm asking for a change of room!" ”

Ancelotti directly vetoed Suke's protest.

In desperation, Suke could only share a room with Pato.

"Do you sleep, snoring?"

Suke asked, sitting on his bed, looking at Pato.

Pato blinked: "I don't snore. ”

Su Ke nodded: "I have a problem, if someone snores while I'm sleeping, I'll sleepwalk and beat him!" ”

"Huh?"

Pato hurriedly shook his head; "I don't snore!"

He was still muttering what was wrong with this.

"Have a good night's rest, forget it, just don't disturb me to sleep!"

At the thought that Pato didn't have to play, Suker didn't care.

On his first night in Scotland, Suker slept soundly.

Pato doesn't snore, which makes Suke's sleep very good.

In the afternoon, the AC Milan team arrived at the Ebrox Stadium for a stampede activity.

The quality of the entire turf is much worse than that of San Siro, but Rangers cannot be blamed, after all, the hardware facilities of the giants are already very good.

The lawn is on the hard side, and it feels a little awkward to step on, but it's still bearable.

Suker and Kaka had a couple of non-landing passes.

After a while, Pato also joined in, and the three of them practiced for a while before finishing the stampede activity.

Back at the hotel, Ancelotti presided over the meeting again, a simple tactical meeting.

The media is speculating about Milan's attitude towards the game.

But for Milan, they have only one goal, and that is to win.

In order to win, Carlo Ancelotti did not use new tactics, but directly moved out of the 4-3-2-1 Christmas tree formation.

This shift in formation is already very telling.

Although the potential of the new tactics is somewhat greater.

But for now, the Christmas tree formation is still Milan's best trick to press the bottom of the box.

In the evening, the Ebrox Stadium is brightly lit.

A large number of Rangers fans poured into the stadium.

Based on their draw away to AC Milan in the third round, it sparked enthusiasm among the fans.

The stadium was filled with fans, and there were many Rangers fans around the stadium.

They thought they could draw with AC Milan on the road.

It's possible to win at home!

In waves of cheers, the two sides ended the warm-up session.

After completing the final preparations, the players from both sides came to the players' tunnel to prepare for the entrance.

AC Milan's squad is very strong at first glance.

Even in order to win the game, Suker once again pulled out the left midfield position, with Ronaldo as the central striker.

It's just that Ronaldo's state at this time has fallen off a cliff.

Aside from the fact that his marksmanship has been retained, he is really not a top-flight player anymore.

AC Milan are also thinking of sending Ronaldo away after the season.

The starting line-ups for both sides are as follows:

Glasgow Rangers (4-4-2):

Goalkeeper: McGregor.

Defenders: Cuellar, Papachi, David. Weir, McCulloch.

Midfielder: Charlie. Adam, Hutton, Kevin. Thompson, Barry. Ferguson.

Forward: Daniel. Cousin, Nacho. Novo.

AC Milan (4-3-2-1):

Goalkeeper: Karachi.

Defenders: Cafu, Nesta, Simunic, Jankulovski.

Midfielders: Gattuso, Pirlo, Ambrosini.

Forwards: Kaka, Ronaldo, Suker.

AC Milan's lineup came prepared at first glance.

Based on the draw in the third round, Rangers were demoralized at this time and wanted to win the game at home.

But AC Milan won't let them get their way.

AC Milan's lineup is to suppress the opponent directly in the first half.

The forward combination of Kaka-Ronaldo Sooker is arguably Milan's most dangerous combination at the moment.

If it's the second half of the season, Pato can play, and the strength on paper is one point better.

Kaka Suke Pato!

This is what Carlo Ancelotti thinks Milan's new front trident combination.

All three of them can shoot with the ability to shoot.

A small area of coordination is also good.

After Suker retreated, Kaka and Pato were also able to retract and press forward.

Suker and Kaka also have the ability to organise and push forward, which greatly increases Milan's attacking threat.

Sadly, Pato is not available yet.

At this time, Pato was sitting in the stands behind the bench.

Due to not being able to participate at the moment, Pato will have to wait for the race in January.

But at this time, looking at the heat wave surging all over the stadium and the position of the corner of the stadium, the robotic arm installed with the camera swinging to shoot the camera, these are all telling Pato that this is the Champions League he dreams of.

"That's awesome!"

Pato's eyes were full of yearning.

In two months, he will be able to stand on this field.

Beep!!

Just as Pato was watching, the whistle blew in the middle of the arena.

The game is on!

Pato shouted towards the pitch: "Milan!! Come on!! ”

As soon as he finished shouting, he saw Simunic suddenly take a long ball and hoist the ball directly into the Rangers half.

Ronaldo was struggling with the opposition defenders, and the ball hit the shoulders of the two men and flew towards the rib area on the left.

And there, Suke had already taken the lead in the killing.

I saw Suker facing the ball and slashing it to the inside.

This move attracted the attention of the opposing defenders.

They didn't dare to let Suke shoot with his feet.

"Block!"

The Rangers' defenders roared violently.

But at this time, Su Ke's feet were rubbed.

The ball went over the back line and down to the back of the line.

Kaka cut in diagonally forward, chested the ball and struck a left-footed shot just as the ball was about to hit the bottom.

Swish!

The ball touches the net!

The audience suddenly fell silent.

Glasgow Rangers fans subconsciously look at the clock.

21 seconds!

Just 21 seconds into the race!

AC Milan scored!

One more sends!
