Golden Greenery

This Champions League semi-final at Old Trafford has become a stage for the new generation to perform in costumes. Manchester United narrowly defeated AC Milan 3:2 in stoppage time, scoring five goals. Milan's top two players and Manchester United's three young players each performed well.

Both sides felt a little regretful about this score, but they could barely accept it. AC Milan has two valuable away goals, and Manchester United has the smallest advantage of three points. A week later, everything remains to be seen at San Siro.

The next night after the team returned to Milan, another semi-final also came to a conclusion. Chelsea defeated Liverpool 1:0 at home. Blues No. 10 Joe Cole scored with a lying shot from the ground in the first half. The first goal in half a year also gently knocked on the door of the final for Chelsea.

AC Milan has an old grudge with Liverpool. The Red Army staged a huge comeback in Istanbul the year before last and snatched away the Champions League Cup from the Milanese. This was the most humiliating scene for the Rossoneri in the history of the European war. However, no one bothers to discuss whether revenge is possible, because it is still unclear whether Milan or Liverpool can reach the final.

But Zhuoyang undoubtedly hopes that Chelsea can go to Athens, Greece, because in this way, no matter who wins the Champions League this year, they will never escape the hands of the Six Musketeers brothers, either himself, grandpa or Scar. Of course, what he hopes most is to do it himself.

On this day, there was very bad news in the Milan laboratory. The injuries of Maldini and Gattuso, who were injured in the first round, were not optimistic.

Maldini thought he had no big problem yesterday. When he was substituted, he complained a little that Ancelotti was making a fuss. Unexpectedly, after the game, his ankle became more swollen and painful. After diagnosis, the Cavaliers will definitely not be able to catch up with the second round of life-or-death battle with Manchester United in more than a week.

Gattuso, who twisted his waist, is doing better than initially expected. There are no problems with his spine and intervertebral discs. It is purely a psoas muscle injury. Once the pain passes, he will be fine. He can run and dance as usual. However, whether he can make it in time for the Manchester United battle remains to be seen. During this period, Ba Ye needs to insist on physical therapy, and the laboratory has repeatedly warned that sexual intercourse is strictly prohibited.

.

In any case, even if it only brought back one defeat from the away game, AC Milan has accomplished the club's expected goals very well in the European competition this season. The semi-finals of the Champions League, any giant will be satisfied with this result, even if they swear that they will not give up until they win the championship. Of course, Abramovich's Chelsea are an exception. The Russian model only has the championship trophy in his eyes, and there is no difference between the runner-up and the last place.

The biggest problem for AC Milan now is that the situation in the league is still grim. There are only 5 rounds left in Serie A, and the team is currently ranked sixth. It is not far away from the top four Champions League areas, but it is also very difficult to catch up. If the team goes all out, and based on the recent strong momentum, of course the hope is still huge, but the prospect of the Champions League final is not far away, and it is indeed a dilemma.

In the end, after a meeting between several club giants and Ancelotti, they decided to put out a full substitute lineup and play in the 34th round of Serie A away game against Turin sandwiched between the two Champions League semi-finals.

A few days later, a life-and-death battle with Manchester United at home is imminent. After that game, if Milan can successfully advance to the Champions League final for the second time in three years, there will be 20 days and three Serie A games before going to the final. The senior management will decide this. After three games, we will attack with all our strength according to the specific situation. If you can't go to Athens, let alone give it a try in the last four rounds.

Serie A's Champions League quota for next season is 3+1, which means that the fourth place will need to participate in the qualifying rounds, which will undoubtedly cause another trouble. AC Milan has always aimed at the top three, just to avoid this extraneous issue. At the beginning of the new season last year, the two Champions League qualifying matches against Red Star Belgrade had a great impact on the team's season preparations.

Milan doesn't want to make the same mistake again.

But the situation is compelling. Now Milan no longer pursues the top three, and everyone can be happy to be ranked fourth. Currently ranked fourth is Lazio with 58 points. Milan ranks sixth with 17 wins, 10 draws and 6 losses in 33 games with 53 points (from -8 points). The 5-point gap is not easy to catch up with. What's more, there is Fiorentina in front of them with 55 points, and Palermo behind them with 52 points.

Kaká was very reluctant to miss the game against Turin and started arguing with Ancelotti after returning from England. In the competition for top scorer, he was only two points ahead of Totti, which was very unsafe. As the season came to an end, Kaká felt more and more pressure.

Zhuo Yang refused to listen to anyone's advice, no matter how hard he tried, so he regretted that he encouraged Kaka to have a serious confrontation with Totti. Originally, I just wanted to suppress Totti and help Kaka improve, but I didn't expect Kaka to be so heavy. After getting along day and night for almost a season, Zhuoyang already knows Kaká very well, and knows that what he values ​​most in this competition is not the honor of the top scorer, but worrying about his own face. Zhuoyang was kind-hearted but dug a hole for Kaka.

Caroline tried to persuade Kaka, but he didn't listen either. Although Mr. Ka was doting on his little wife, he was very stubborn on this matter. Caroline said one sentence, and Kaka had two sentences waiting for her.

In the end, it was Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi and agent Figel who came after hearing the news and reluctantly convinced Kaka. The young master pouted and was reluctant to be pulled by Zhuo Yang to swim in Milanello.

AC Milan, who traveled to Turin, were very bold. When it came to substitutes, they simply did not bring any of the Champions League main players, and they did not use them to hold the line. The bench was filled by mascot Fiori and a few second-team teenagers.

Turin goalkeeper Abbiati and winger Keke are both former AC Milan players. Abbiati is even on loan to Turin from Milan. Milan is trying to persuade him to return to Milanello next season.

Milan played a very difficult game in this game. The four top strikers took turns and failed to achieve anything. Ronaldo stopped his goal scoring in five consecutive games and Gilardino hit the goal post twice. Oliveira and Borriello obviously contribute much more defensively than offensively.

The defense line composed of Favalli, Simic, Bonera, Cafu, and Karachi did not leave any chance for Turin's weak offensive line. Seeing the game heading towards 0:0, which was very disappointing for both sides, it was three figures from the 1976 generation who kept Milan from leaving empty-handed.

In the 78th minute, Turin center back Brevi, who was constantly entangled with Ronaldo throughout the game, finally couldn't hold on any longer. In order to prevent Ronaldo's breakthrough, he had to foul and receive a second yellow card. Torino, who was fighting with one less player, was immediately seized by AC Milan.

Brockie assisted and Seedorf made a long-range shot that had been missing for a long time. 1:0. Three 31-year-old quasi-veterans collected these three points for the team.

More good news came after the game. Fiorentina carelessly failed at home to Chievo, who was in desperate need of relegation. With this victory, AC Milan overtook Viola and rose to fifth place.

The game that ended the next day made the Milanese people smile even more, and Kaká wiped away the worries of the past few days. In this round of Rome City Derby, Roma and Lazio tied 0:0. Milan was only 3 points behind Lazio, and Kaká was still two goals ahead of Totti.

Everything is developing in the planned and expected direction.
