The transfer of Premier League clubs' assets has caused a major earthquake in European football. Now, not only the Premier League has been targeted by foreign financial groups, but also several old clubs in Serie A cannot stay out of it.

For example, Roma, whose debts are already unbearable, has been rumored to be prepared to be acquired by foreign funds.

However, the Sensi family, who has always regarded the club as their own private property, has not planned to sell the team's shares, but the old Sensi, whose economic situation is not optimistic, does not know how long he can hold on, maybe tomorrow, maybe the day after tomorrow?

And teams like Parma and Lazio are also struggling on the edge of being acquired. The only difference may be who will acquire them, foreign capital crocodiles or wealthy bosses from Italy.

Anyway, the increasingly high player salaries have crushed the backbone of many teams. Many teams are relying on their own players to conquer the world, and those stars who can attract fans to watch the game are losing.

This is the current situation of Serie A teams. No matter how glorious it was, everything is nothing in front of funds.

When money starts to control everything, many traditions have disappeared, and only interests are left.

It may be that this way of capital operation has invaded since Abramovich began to acquire Chelsea and then spent a lot of money to build this team. You can say that the Russian tycoon stimulated these people with a lot of money.

When Chelsea successfully won the Premier League championship, this crazy investment had a better excuse.

Especially those Middle Eastern consortiums, they regard the operation of Premier League clubs as a good investment.

Many commentators and reporters who pay attention to the Champions League have said on different occasions and in the media that if Chelsea and AC Milan appear in Istanbul in the end, then this will be a fierce collision between tradition and reality.

However, before that, AC Milan must ensure that they can beat Eindhoven at the San Siro Stadium, although fans from the Netherlands to Italy all agree that the result of this game has actually been doomed.

Including the players of the Eindhoven team told those reporters when they arrived at the Milan airport that they came to Milan this time just to feel the atmosphere of San Siro. As for the game, they will relax and play.

Maybe it was because of this relaxation, or the Italians were overly optimistic. When the game officially started, the PSV Eindhoven players only took 25 minutes to make the entire San Siro Stadium fall into a dead silence.

It may be that AC Milan's players did not have time to concentrate after successfully defeating their opponents away from home in the first round.

In the eyes of many Milan players, this game is just a routine. The extremely accurate counterattack in the last game has made PSV Eindhoven helpless for 90 minutes, and now it is just a repetition.

Although Ancelotti still sent all the main players of AC Milan at home, the game was not under the control of AC Milan from the beginning. PSV Eindhoven almost started a large-scale attack in an uncharacteristic way.

Maybe Hiddink didn't care about the gains and losses of this game, so the Dutchman had only one request for the team, no matter whether this is the San Siro Stadium or not, they must play beautiful Dutch football on the field for me!

Less than nine minutes into the game, when many Italian fans were still waving their flags, AC Milan lost the ball. PSV Eindhoven's counterattack was even more accurate than the Italian team's.

Park Ji-sung, the Korean who impressed the Italians in the last game, got the ball more than 30 meters away from the goal on the left rib. He did not choose to pass the ball, but turned around and got rid of Gattuso.

Before AC Milan's iron waist could react to what happened, Park Ji-sung had already made an accurate straight pass into the penalty area. Hesselink, who ran in time to meet the ball, used the outside of his right foot to make a clever change of direction.

This made Stam, who had been pressing him, stretch his legs to touch the ball, but he was unable to keep the ball smoothly. However, this accidental touch directly made Nesta, who came up to defend behind Stam, miss the ball.

When Nesta watched the ball rolling from his feet to the front of the goal, Park Ji-sung, who had followed up in time, shot directly with his left foot nine meters in front of the goal. The ball quickly passed Dida's hands and went into the top of the goal.

PSV tied the total score to 1-2 with its first shot, and this was the first goal AC Milan conceded in the last eight Champions League games since Ronaldinho scored in the fourth round of the group stage.

Scoring a goal did not wake AC Milan up immediately, but such an early goal suddenly gave PSV some hope. In the second wave of attack launched by the Dutch, they played more fiercely.

PSV continued to attack after scoring, and occupied a clear advantage in ball possession. From personal skills to overall interlaced running, these fearless Dutchmen fully demonstrated an all-out attack and defense tactical arrangement.

Hiddink was no longer sitting firmly in the coaching seat at this moment. He stood on the sidelines and shouted loudly for the players to press forward, and press forward again!

In the 27th minute, PSV Eindhoven almost tied the total score with an attack. Pirlo, who was always steady, got the ball in the middle, but when facing the strong pressure from PSV Eindhoven, he suddenly seemed very hesitant.

Pirlo's hesitation gave PSV Eindhoven a chance to steal the ball. Park Ji-sung, who was extremely active in this game, suddenly stepped forward and stretched his foot to steal the ball. After stealing the ball from Pirlo's feet, he made a long pass to the left.

Another Korean, Lee Young-pyo, broke through the sideline at a donkey-like speed, which put a lot of pressure on the Italians. Perhaps to make up for his mistake, Pirlo seemed a little uncalm when he rushed to the sideline to make up for his mistake.

His shovel directly tripped Lee Young-joo near the penalty area, which directly gave PSV Eindhoven a free kick opportunity with an excellent position. The heavy gunner Van Bommel took the penalty kick himself.

But Van Bommel did not choose to shoot this time. Instead, at the moment when AC Milan's wall was not stable, he directly made a very fast 45-degree diagonal pass. At least three people from PSV Eindhoven rushed to the point.

Hesselink, who frequently created threats after the opening, inserted from the back row and headed the ball directly to the front point. His header from a few meters in front of the goal avoided Stam's block and escaped Dida's ten fingers, but failed to avoid the entanglement of the crossbar.

But AC Milan, who escaped the disaster, seemed to have not woken up yet. Although many Italian fans had shouted loudly to remind them, the players on the field seemed to have not yet noticed the danger approaching.

Just five minutes later, AC Milan paid a painful price for its slow reaction. The Italians who were originally planning to take the initiative to attack were intercepted by PSV in the middle before they jumped.

Lee Young-pyo, who was knocked down by Pirlo just now, found an opportunity from the wing again. When facing Cafu's block, he made a very simple feint, and then suddenly broke out and used his right foot to cross with his left foot.

This move was so simple, but Cafu was obviously slow and didn't have time to raise his leg to block the ball. As slow as him was Kaladze, who was responsible for defending in the middle. That guy was also stunned.

Cocu, who was originally preparing to receive the cross at the back point, took advantage of Kaladze's nerve short circuit and rushed directly in front of the opponent. He headed the ball in front of the goal and the ball went into the goal strangely between Dida's legs.

Twenty-five minutes into the first half, PSV Eindhoven had already tied the total score to 2-2.

No one dared to believe what they saw, especially the Italian fans, who were simply stunned.

Where is this? This is San Siro, the invincible home of AC Milan! Those Dutch people actually scored two goals in a row! ? Is this really not a dream? The final ticket that was already in hand seemed to have been taken away by half by those crazy Dutch people at this moment. If this continues, the other half will not be kept!

This is definitely not an exaggeration. Everyone knows what Hiddink can do. Don't forget, it was this guy who led the South Korean team to defeat the Italian national team in the Korea-Japan World Cup. Does he want to do it again?

The two goals just now were scored because of the Koreans' persistent interference in the frontcourt. Don't say it was luck or coincidence. In the past 20 minutes, AC Milan didn't even have a shot.

Not to mention shooting, they didn't even enter the opponent's penalty area. Is this still the sharp attacking AC Milan?

Ancelotti didn't dare to slack off at this time. He adjusted the personnel configuration on the field one minute later. Eindhoven's old player Thomason replaced Seedorf, and AC Milan restored the double striker.

But at the same time, Hiddink also made personnel adjustments. This Dutchman who has always dared to fight with his opponents was tit-for-tat. He replaced defender Bouma with Brazilian attacker Robert, and Cocu retreated to the back line.

In the attack, PSV Eindhoven chose the most courageous way to deal with AC Milan's challenge. At this moment, you may not be able to tell who is the home team. The Dutch obviously played more actively than the Italians.

If God gives the Dutch enough luck, or he can let the two teams stand on the same starting line again and continue to fight for 90 minutes, maybe the person who laughs last may not be the Italians, and miracles will not happen.

It's just that the steady Italians killed the possibility of the birth of such a miracle. Although they were very passive at one time, Ambrosini's header saved AC Milan in the 80th minute of the game.

A goal, a goal that filled the San Siro Stadium with shouts. Ambrosini finally didn't let this damn game be dragged into overtime. Otherwise, no one would dare to predict the final result, including God.

When Mourinho finished watching this game, he said, "AC Milan's defense line seems not to be indestructible. Even the solid walls may be blown down..."
