Mourinho may have never paid so much attention to a team. It can be said that after defeating Liverpool in the first round of the semi-finals, this guy has devoted all his energy to studying the characteristics of AC Milan.

From video footage to the lineup arrangements for the last dozen games, Mourinho almost flipped through the family tree of Ancelotti. Mourinho definitely doesn't need anyone to remind him what the Champions League final is like.

He still hasn't forgotten the game he played in Germany last year. That was the first time he led the team to the top of Europe.

Now, Mourinho has only changed the team to command, but his goal has not changed. He still wants to send his team to the top of Europe, accept the worship of those losers, and become the new owner of the Champions League.

However, what is different from last year is that Mourinho is not commanding Porto now, and his opponent is not the equally inexperienced Monaco. Instead, Chelsea seems to be inexperienced in the Champions League.

That is a team with outrageous experience, and Mourinho is not sure he can overthrow the opponent this time.

"If I can be a mentor to Chelsea players because I have won the Champions League once, then AC Milan's championships can completely kill me in seconds. They are simply too familiar with that battlefield."

The experience of winning the European Cup six times, just such a simple data can make them look down on Chelsea in the Champions League. Compared with those Italians, Chelsea now seems very naive.

If AC Milan is a college student in the Champions League, then Chelsea probably hasn't even graduated from kindergarten.

This is not a self-deprecating comparison, but a real gap, especially when the game is at this juncture, experience sometimes determines many things, including adaptability to the atmosphere of the final.

From psychological stability to the performance on the spot, many things will determine the fate of the two teams in the final.

But AC Milan has practiced these things countless times in the past decade, but Chelsea has no such opportunity.

If the Champions League final last season was about choosing the more mature one from two freshmen, then Mourinho won the confrontation with Deschamps because he was more patient, especially when Giuly was injured and left the field, the rhythm of the entire field was completely determined by Chelsea, leaving no chance for the opponent to take advantage.

But now this advantage is no longer on Chelsea's side. Even Mourinho knows where the disadvantage is when compared with Ancelotti. The Italian is obviously more familiar with the on-the-spot command of this decisive battle.

If we compare them only from the perspective of experience, this game basically doesn't need to be played. More than half of the players in AC Milan have lifted the Champions League, while only Lin Yi and several Porto teammates have won the championship on Chelsea's side.

This may be one of the reasons why Lin Yi has always been envied by his teammates in Chelsea. After all, this little guy is much luckier than them. He can lift the trophy in his first Champions League game, and many of them have never even entered the final.

But now this shortcoming can be made up. No matter what the result of this game is, Chelsea has successfully entered the final battle, which is the first time in the club's 100-year history.

Abramovich is also regarded as the omnipotent God by many Chelsea fans because Chelsea can reach the Champions League final. Everyone knows that without this generous Russian, the Blues may not reach this height in their lifetime.

No matter how many people outside don't like this guy, in the eyes of Chelsea fans, this guy is a savior-like figure. It is his big money that allows the team to complete a triple jump in such a short time.

Climbed from the lower middle of the league to the third place last season, and this season won the championship five rounds in advance.

Last season, they were able to reach the semi-finals, and now they have reached the finals in one step. The final has already entered. Are we still far from the championship? This may be the first time that Chelsea fans are so close to the trophy.

"We need champions! We want to be the king of Europe! We are the strongest team!" Such a crazy roar can be seen in newspapers and Chelsea's official forum every day. This is not only the shout of fans, but also the expectation of Chelsea Club from top to bottom. They are really eager for this Champions League trophy.

After the team reached the final, Abramovich publicly promised that if the team can successfully win the championship, he will reward 10 million euros, and the money will be cashed immediately. The Russian is obviously determined to win this time.

"I can spend 200 million euros to build the team in two seasons, just to make the club the greatest existence. Since we want to be the greatest club, if there is no Champions League trophy, it will be unworthy of the name."

This may be the first time that Abramovich publicly talked about the team's desire to grab the Champions League trophy in front of the media. It can be seen that when this Russian said this to the camera, he was definitely not just talking casually.

Either don't say anything, or if you say something, you have to do it. Although Abramovich did not put any pressure on Mourinho, his words have shown his determination. He must win the Champions League trophy this time.

Mourinho did not express his opinion on what his boss said. For him, sometimes it makes no difference whether he talks about this kind of thing or not. He will not lose to anyone easily if he deserves to win. If he is really weak, , then no matter how much you say, it is all in vain. Anyway, Mourinho never thought of surrendering.

It's just that the team Chelsea will face this time is indeed a bit strong, and Mourinho is a little scratching his head when thinking about it.

Blue PK red and black, Premier League versus Serie A, football upstarts VS traditional forces, the showdown between Chelsea and AC Milan has been given too much meaning, and has even extended to the overall level of the league in some places.

If Chelsea can defeat AC Milan in the final, then of the three Serie A teams participating in the Champions League this season, except for one that was consumed by itself after a civil war, the other two teams were directly eliminated by the Premier League.

Today, when the competition between the Premier League and Serie A is about to reach a fever pitch, the result of defeating each other in this direct confrontation is likely to become an important weapon in attacking each other. What kind of decisive battle can determine who is the best league in the world? I am afraid that apart from economic factors, only a stage like the Champions League can allow the two teams to compete.

From the whole to the individual, there will be direct dialogue between AC Milan and Chelsea in almost every position.

Chelsea's Great Steel Wall met AC Milan's regional defense. Don't mention anything else. The defense of these two teams alone was obviously one level ahead of other teams in the Champions League. This is why they were able to make it to the finals.

Six hundred and twenty-three minutes without conceding a goal, this is AC Milan’s record in the Champions League this season. Although they almost lost to PSV Eindhoven at the San Siro Stadium, more people thought that was just their carelessness. .

Don't forget how AC Milan trapped Barcelona in the group stage. Not everyone can do that kind of defense.

However, this kind of laxity also woke up AC Milan in advance. Many Italian media unanimously said after the game that it was Hiddink's team that made Ancelotti understand that they could no longer be so lax.

"A timely defeat that wakes us up and will teach us not to make mistakes in the final."

Although this statement is a bit exaggerated, Mourinho somewhat agrees with the remarks of these Italians. This timely failure really woke up the AC Milan team. Now we cannot expect these people to be confused again.

The AC Milan team was indeed refreshed by this defeat. These guys swept away their previous sluggish state in the subsequent league games and won consecutive away games against Lecce and Roma. They did not concede a single goal in these two games. .

Not only did they not concede a goal, AC Milan's striker also scored six goals in two games. In addition to his best form, Shevchenko even more scored when facing Lecce. It was a hat trick completed.

"Crazy Sheva, the Ukrainian is using both feet to warm up for the Champions League final. If he goes to Istanbul in this state, even if he faces Chelsea's defense, he can use crazy offense to tear apart the opponent."

Although such a victory cannot bring AC Milan one step closer to the league standings, this kind of state broke out before the Champions League final, which does have a very scary flavor. This group of red and black warriors is obviously sharpening their knives. .

It's hard for these guys to think of sharpening their skills with a macho team like Roma. This state is indeed a bit fierce.

Although many English media sneered at such remarks, AC Milan's state has been really frightening recently, including the London media, which has always been very biased towards Chelsea. This time they are a little worried about Chelsea's defense.

"May God bless Chelsea and hope that Carvalho and Terry can completely trap the Ukrainian Shevchenko."

This may be the first time that someone is worried about Chelsea's defensive problems. After all, the opponent's offense is too sharp.

"Maybe I would be happier if Hiddink could actually get PSV to knock out these Italians."

When Mourinho said these words, there were only Lin Yi and Brito around him, and his words were definitely not a joke. He really thought about it. After all, compared with AC Milan, Einho Wen is easier to deal with.

It's just that the old man God doesn't want to see Mourinho and Lin Yi get too proud. Maybe he doesn't want to see Chelsea so easily overcome the final decisive battle. AC Milan is a qualified opponent.

Want to conquer Europe? OK, don't consider those factors of luck, just fight your opponent to the end honestly.

Who can have the last laugh in Istanbul depends on the ninety-minute confrontation. . .
