The rain in Manchester is full of elusive unknowns!

What looked like a good day just now will be drizzling in the blink of an eye.

Fortunately, the temperature in Manchester in March was not too low, but for a team not used to this climate, it is undoubtedly a torment to play as a guest in Manchester.

But what was even more tormenting was that he was still behind in the game!

Ancelotti looked up at the sky, and he was huddled in the coach's bench at Old Trafford. It was drizzling outside, and it was particularly conspicuous under the lights. The weather was a bit cold, so he couldn't help but tucked his hands into his sleeves , exhaled, only felt a puff of white gas spit out from his mouth.

"Damn, this kind of ghost weather!" Ancelotti cursed.

The staff beside him didn't dare to say anything, everyone could tell that Fatty An was feeling restless.

In fact, he really should be irritable. Anyone who faces his current situation will definitely be irritable, even the best-mannered person will be.

In this much-watched duel, AC Milan made sufficient preparations before the game, and provided targeted arrangements for a series of countermeasures that may be carried out. In addition to the stronger strength and changes they expected, there is also this damn weather.

This first half at Old Trafford can definitely be said to be the best half of the season so far. Drogba, Ronaldinho, Palacio and Kaka, these four players almost It turned AC Milan's defense into a pot of gruel, and then they scored AC Milan's 3 goals in the first half, and scored another one at the beginning of the second half, 4:0!

God, if someone predicted this before the game, they would be laughed at as crazy, but it really happened in reality.

Ancelotti made adjustments during the intermission. He knew that Palacio was very active in this game, so he asked Ambrosini to focus on taking care of this thin-looking Argentine.

Gattuso, Pirlo, Ambrosini, and Ancelotti stepped up three midfielders at once, which was able to block the jaw-dropping attack, and at the same time allowed AC Milan to stabilize its position. Started to have a decent offensive.

But at this time, he began to retract consciously, keeping the three lines tight.

"Damn!" Seeing Shevchenko's shot was confiscated by Cech, Ancelotti cursed again.

Fatty An stayed on the coach's bench for the whole game, and occasionally went out to the sidelines to direct the game, but felt that the cold rain directly penetrated into his body from the collar, and that feeling was very uncomfortable. out.

Ancelotti used Rui Costa to replace the underperforming Rivaldo. Shevchenko and Inzaghi were left in front, and Cafodo on the right went forward. Insert and cooperate with the team's offense.

In this way, AC Milan's offense improved slightly.

…………………… "Maybe it was the climate in Manchester that made the slow-heating AC Milan heat up even more slowly. They didn't have a more threatening shot until the 56th minute of the second half, but Shevchenko's shot Confiscated by Cech!"

The performance in the first half was definitely much higher than that of AC Milan. Whether it was offense or defense, coupled with their suppression of the game, the scene was almost one-sided.

Palacio scored two goals from the right and assisted Kaka to score, Ronaldinho also scored a beautiful goal, Beckham had 2 very beautiful assists, and a few more kicks. A threatening pass, but was not seized by his teammates to form a goal.

It can be said that they directed an epic first half. In the first 50 minutes, they accomplished a feat that no team could accomplish in the past two years. They poured 4 goals into AC Milan, which is known as the steel defense.

"Ancelotti should reflect on it. His team entered the game too slowly, which led to being overwhelmed from the beginning. This has been exposed at the San Siro Stadium, and he was almost caught. But now Old Trafford,

This defect has not been improved, but worsened, which made them suffer. "

In addition, judging from the scene, AC Milan's defense obviously couldn't keep up with the rhythm.

"Some people jokingly say that AC Milan is an uncle-level defense line. Except for Nesta, who has just turned 28, who is in his prime, Maldini is 36 years old, Cafu is 34 years old, and Pancaro is 33 years old. There is also the 38-year-old Costacurta, although he has rich experience, but undoubtedly this line of defense cannot withstand the impact of a monster-level striker like Drogba."

"In contrast, Drogba is 25 years old, Ronaldinho is 18 years old, Palacio is 21 years old, and Kaka is 23 years old. They are undoubtedly a very young, energetic and energetic attacking combination. At the same time, they are very good at running and cooperating. This made them almost sieve AC Milan's old defense line in the game."

At this time, another adjustment by Ancelotti appeared on the screen, and Rui Costa played instead of Rivaldo.

"It seems that Ancelotti still wants to break the goal while stabilizing the defense!"

Judging from the scene, Rui Costa's playing did play a big role, especially in the last pass, he made a few powerful passes to Shevchenko and Inzaghi in front Pass the ball, and they all pose a threat.

This time Inzaghi didn't waste Rui Costa's assists, he caught up and achieved it overnight, 4:1!

Mourinho kept protesting with the linesman on the sidelines, signaling that Inzaghi's goal was offside, but the linesman said beyond doubt that this was a beautiful anti-offside.

This magical striker who survived the offside line once again pierced the goal.

Mourinho walked back cursing, his expression was even more excited than when Inzaghi scored the winning goal at San Siro two weeks ago, as if this goal had cost him the game Like a game.

But soon, everyone understood why Mourinho was so excited.

After Inzaghi scored a goal, AC Milan's offense began to change a lot. Whether it was Shevchenko or Inzaghi, they were both the kind of strikers who saw blood and blocked their throats. For passers like Yi Costa and Pirlo, the goal became jittery for a while.

Mourinho did not hesitate this time, and immediately adjusted the team, directly allowing the team's defensive formation to retract to the half court, and no longer gave Shevchenko and Inzaghi too much space to move.

However, in this way, his offense was also affected to a certain extent.

But seeing that the time has passed 78 minutes, this game is 4:1, the previous game was 0:1, and the total score is 4:2. As long as you don’t concede 2 goals, you can basically secure the promotion right now.

AC Milan obviously realized that their offensive task is arduous, so they frequently launched attacks, but this time Mourinho left the four attacking players in the frontcourt, creating pressure on AC Milan through the frontcourt, forcing them not to easily press attack.

Ancelotti's team finally failed to score goals from him, and the total score of 4:2 also made AC Milan leave Manchester with regret. They stopped in the UEFA Cup round of 16.

………………… “There is no doubt that this is a very worthwhile game, especially in the first half, the four players in the frontcourt almost performed classic offensive routines.” This is the summary after the game , the evaluation given by football commentators.

"During the game, Ronaldinho's position was further back, but Palacio was close to AC Milan's Pancaro. This was obviously a special arrangement by Mourinho before the game. Palacio can make more use of his personal ability on the right side and eat Pancaro one-on-one, in fact, he did it too!"

"Ronaldo on the left is at the back, and he has enough space to start after he gets the ball. His speed is very fast and his skills are becoming more and more refined. Once he starts, entering the opponent's penalty area is a threat. Once he fell in the penalty area and was shown a yellow card by the referee, indicating that he was diving, but judging from the slow motion, he was indeed pulled down by Maldini, which should be a penalty kick."

In addition, in this game, Kaka inserted in the back row of the middle lane, which was a great threat. At the same time, AC Milan had to be worried all the time, worrying that Kaka would suddenly go crazy when he didn't know.

"The attack combination of the four players in the frontcourt is impeccable in terms of height, width, and depth, and with their skillful cooperation, they completely captured AC Milan's goal in the first 50 minutes and completed many goals. A feat that no team could have accomplished!"

"However, what surprised me the most was Beckham. This player worked hard throughout the game and did his best. He didn't perform well when the team attacked, but his effect was very obvious. A long shot almost pierced Dida's goal. , but in the second half, when defending, he was very diligent, always stuck in front of the defense line, and also dedicated many key interceptions and destructions. He did show a comprehensive and core that he did not have in Manchester United ability."

"Of course, apart from these, what impresses me the most is that both offense and defense are more dependent on the whole, but AC Milan seems to be a bit out of touch with offense and defense, especially in the first half, the frontcourt players are almost not involved in defense , which allows for easy adjustments at the back.”

After the game, Palacio was elected as the best player in the game. The 11 starting players all got high scores, but AC Milan generally failed. The only thing that passed was the reason for scoring a goal. Zaghi.

……………… After defeating AC Milan, several other teams in the top 8 of the UEFA Cup also came to the fore, namely Barcelona, ​​Roma, Juventus, Bayern, Liverpool, Inter Milan and Valencia . 360 search: (.*)☆\\\\half^float^sheng//☆=

For these teams, it is very troublesome to meet any one, because even Roma, under Capello's coaching this season, played a lot of offensive football. The most aggressive of them all.

Looking at the top 8 of the UEFA Cup, it is undoubtedly the weakest of these teams in terms of reputation and background, but how strong is it? After the matchup with AC Milan, I believe no one will ever ignore such a rapidly rising team. opponent.

When Mourinho was interviewed by the media in Manchester, when the reporter asked who he most hoped to meet in the knockout round of the quarterfinals, Mourinho smiled and said it didn't matter.

"No matter who our opponent is, I will not predict the result of the game that has not yet started, but the only thing I am sure of is that they must not want to touch us, because all opponents who touch us have already been eliminated by us Now, let's see who is the next unlucky guy!"

For Mourinho's words, the whole team expressed their support. Although Manchester United and Arsenal have caught up in the league, the whole team still maintains strong confidence and firmly believes that in any difficult situation, they can win. opponent!

At the same time, each of them also brought this persistence to the court!

And when the team was struggling to support the two fronts, Xiao Yu ushered in another important moment in his life!
