Star Coach

This season's Champions League is a bit special. The Premier League is strong in advance, Serie A has not yet fallen, and the draw ceremony is not tricky enough, and there is not enough gimmick.

Real Madrid vs. Milan is the only strong dialogue. Another group that can barely be considered a strong dialogue is Bayern will face Arsenal. Now Arsenal is still strong, and Bayern has not fully recovered, and it is more likely to be in trouble. The odds of winning the Champions League are also higher for Arsenal than Bayern.

Other games are not interesting enough and boring. Manchester United, which originally could not make it to the top 16, also won the first place in the group and will face Ajax; Chelsea did not meet Barcelona, ​​but faced Lyon, and the chances of winning are not small.

Liverpool drew Eindhoven, and there is also a great possibility of advancing.

In the odds of winning the Champions League offered by the bookmaker, AC Milan undoubtedly occupies the first place. They have good players and young coaches; the next is the Premier League and La Liga.

The first leg of Milan's match against Real Madrid received the greatest attention. The strong dialogue with similar strengths, coupled with the verbal battles between players and coaches, is very topical.

Sacchi's first live commentary was dedicated to Jiangshan.

"I retired from the position of technical director of Real Madrid. Now I feel very different when I see the battle between Milan and Real Madrid." Sacchi's bald head is very eye-catching. "We can't say that Milan will win and Real Madrid will lose. I think the chances of the two teams are similar, but Milan has a slight advantage."

"Jiangshan's tactics are not impeccable. His team has been proven to be beatable, and their situation has not been very good recently. They are losing goals and points. Real Madrid has a great chance, especially in the first game. They must win, otherwise it will be too difficult for them to go to San Siro."

"I have observed Jiangshan's games. His team has been unbeaten at home so far. It's a crazy record. I don't know how he did it, but it's true. Jiangshan's team is unbeaten at home."

The two teams have won the most Champions League titles. Real Madrid also has eight Champions Leagues, Milan has five Champions Leagues, and next is Liverpool. They also have five Champions Leagues, but they have not reached the finals as many times as Milan.

Luxemberg sent out the strongest lineup he could, the special 4141 lineup.

The goalkeeper is Casillas, the undisputed starting goalkeeper. The back line is lined up with Carlos, Ramos, Woodgate and Cicinho. Woodgate was born in Leeds United and rarely stayed healthy.

The single defensive midfielder is Gravesen, whose horizontal coverage is not bad, but not as good as Makelele; in front are the bicycle prince Robinho, Guti, Zidane and Beckham.

The single striker, Ronaldo, is a little fat at this time, and his condition has declined sharply due to physical reasons. So Robinho often appears in the striker position, but he doesn't score many goals. He rides a shared bicycle well, but he doesn't create value.

A bit strange starting lineup, very unbalanced.

On the Milan side, Jiangshan also sent out a strong lineup, ready to win in one game, "Real Madrid is no longer what it used to be. Florentino messed up, and the team is no longer competitive."

He doesn't take Real Madrid seriously, because he has the top lineup in Europe in his hands, which is absolutely full-level.

Goalkeeper Dida, who doesn't make many saves, is a steady guy.

On the defensive line, Kaladze, Simic and Nesta started together, Fissas appeared at the right back position, Cafu and Maldini were not physically recovered and could not play.

Midfielder Gattuso did not start either, and Ambrosini replaced him. Seedorf, Pirlo and Vogel also started, and Shevchenko and Kaka were arranged on the forward line.

Jiangshan's lineup tended to be 4411, with Kaka lurking behind Shevchenko, ready to act as a striker at any time.

As soon as the game started, Real Madrid players showed extremely strong fighting power.

Robinho and Ronaldo cooperated in the frontcourt, constantly passing and cutting. Zidane's body and skills were invincible. Although he was old, he was still useful.

Zidane avoided Vogel's block and sent a lob pass. Ronaldo accelerated, but faced Nesta, but still couldn't get through, and his explosive power decreased a lot.

Nesta stole the ball with difficulty and passed it to Ambrosini's feet. Facing Guti's harassment, Ambrosini passed the ball to the middle and Pirlo received it.

Zidane actually came to defend, "Don't even think about passing."

Pirlo didn't have a good passing route, and a passing point next to him was blocked by Beckham. Passed to the back, Simic passed.

Dida got the ball, kicked a high ball, and it fell to the midfield. Unfortunately, the Milan players failed to grab the ball, and the ball was taken away by Ronaldo who retreated.

Ronaldo started sprinting near the arc of the center circle, and Ambrosini rushed up early to intercept, the first line of defense.

Ronaldo wanted to pass to Zidane, but there were people around him, so he had to pass to the bicycle prince. The bicycle king had a very fast speed, riding a bicycle, facing Fissas.

Fissas fought and retreated, not in a hurry to kick.

Robinho was about to pass the ball, and Fissas suddenly rushed up and intercepted the ball, a relaxed and carefree defense.

Robinho immediately fouled and hit Fissas. The referee hesitated for a while and did not give a card, it was a common foul.

"Did you see that? Not only did they defend high, they also tried to get the start. After grabbing a goal, they immediately retreated. This strategy is good." Jiang Shan smiled and watched the changes on the field.

Real Madrid has the capital to seize the start, after all, there are many strong players in the team, and Milan has few ways to break the iron bucket formation. As the season progresses, this weakness becomes more and more obvious. They do not have a small-scale attack on top masters.

Therefore, many teams can even win as long as they defend.

Luxemburg watched countless videos of Milan for today's game, especially the games where they lost, at least 5 times. A few days ago, he called Ferguson to ask for advice on how to crack Jiangshan's tactics.

Ferguson's advice to him was to seize the start, and he combined the player configuration of Real Madrid, which was a good method.

Therefore, at the beginning, the fans saw the offensive battle between Milan and Real Madrid. Both teams were threatening, and Real Madrid's offensive threat was greater.

Milan kept retreating, and Pirlo also retreated, holding the ball more in the position of the defensive midfielder to control the rhythm. He was slowing down the team and retreating very deep, and Zidane did not follow.

Pirlo controlled calmly, suddenly kicked, and passed to the wing.

Seedorf was very familiar with this position. Seedorf lightly unloaded the ball, turned around, passed Beckham, and advanced with the ball.

Facing Cicinho, Seedorf easily advanced to the baseline and passed it out. Kaka and Shevchenko were both cruising near the penalty area.

Bang! The ball hit Ramos' head and was headed out of the baseline. Almost an own goal.

Ramos yelled a few times in embarrassment, "Hurry up and defend, come on."

Ramos was still young at that time and was one of the sieves in Real Madrid's defense line, and was often criticized.
