Star Coach

The devilish schedule in March has begun. Milan has good luck. There are no injuries and the players are all ready. This is rare good news.

And after more than an hour of team meetings, the players have calmed down and no longer pay attention to the transfer rumors. They concentrate on their performance on the field.

Facing Juventus, Jiangshan also arranged some substitutes to play. The away game was difficult to tie Juventus, 0:0, and neither side scored. It was a very Italian game.

The gap between the two top teams remained, and Milan was slightly relieved.

In the away game against Udinese, Jiangshan arranged almost half of the substitutes to play. The game was very difficult, and the home team's defense was quite targeted.

Jiangshan was on the sidelines, Vieri scored a key goal, replaced Inzaghi, and scored another goal, locking in the victory, winning the league, and stabilizing the top position in the standings.

The game did not stop, and the Italian Cup semi-finals arrived as scheduled.

Milan played against Roma with all its main players.

In the home game against Roma, all the main players played again. Jiangshan and Simeone also studied Roma's formation and style of play specifically, which was very targeted.

With the goals of Kaka and Shevchenko, Milan led by two goals in the first half and secured the victory. In the second half, Milan continued to attack, but preferred defensive counterattacks.

Roma also wanted to win an away goal, and was very aggressive in the game, but was stolen by Inzaghi. The old Inzaghi was in spring again in March, which is a habit of his career.

In every spring game, Inzaghi can always be rejuvenated and score frequently.

Totti also saved face with a penalty kick, and the final score was fixed at 3:1. Jiangshan was not satisfied with this score, with only two goals, and there were still variables in the away game.

There was no way, there were too many games recently, and the old men showed signs of fatigue very early, and the team could not always maintain high intensity.

Football is like this, often unexpected and full of charm.

The media started to hype the match with Chelsea before it even started. During this period, Chelsea also ran like crazy and left Manchester United behind in the league, 3 points higher, and finally had a chance to catch their breath.

Manchester United's defense line has not yet reached a tacit understanding. Vidic has just integrated into the team and has not become the mainstay. The central defender and right back have huge weaknesses. Gary Neville is injured and the midfield is not complete.

Chelsea has the opportunity to win two consecutive league titles.

But their goal is very long-term. Mourinho wanted to win the duel with Jiangshan early on. The game is a two-round game. The win or loss of one round does not matter. The key is to advance after playing two rounds.

Abramovich even announced that he wanted to buy Shevchenko. He still misses Sheva. There is also Milan's Nesta, who is very favored by Mourinho.

Drogba also stood up and said, "Jiangshan is a coach I respect very much. He made me mature a lot. I will thank him for my whole life and will never forget him. But now I am wearing Chelsea's jersey. I will definitely give 100% of my energy to Chelsea. We are all very professional. He will definitely support my approach."

Milan is very quiet. No one started a war. Chelsea's psychological warfare did not have any impact on the Milan team.

Jiangshan also had no time to talk nonsense with Mourinho. His team lost points again.

At home against Fiorentina, they lost 2 points inexplicably. They only tied with Fiorentina, a 2:2 draw, which Jiangshan was particularly dissatisfied with.

It was too difficult to catch up after losing two goals at the beginning. Milan did not have the explosive power of Chelsea. In the end, Milan relied on Shevchenko and Vieri's goals to tie the score with difficulty and continued to remain unbeaten at home.

The Champions League quarterfinals against Chelsea are about to start.

Jiangshan led the team to London and quietly checked into the hotel. The players did not go out. Everything was quiet.

Jiangshan met with Cheryl and Samantha at the hotel. They didn't have time to enjoy themselves. They just chatted and talked about their hearts and made another appointment.

Jiangshan followed the players throughout the training to adjust their status. The players also felt the pressure from Jiangshan. Facing the two-round match with Chelsea, there must be no mistakes.

If they can't get past Chelsea, Milan's season can end early. The influence of the Italian Cup is too small and it doesn't mean much.

Stamford Bridge is not big, with a capacity of more than 40,000 people. It has been full every game in the past two years. The team is in good shape, so there are naturally more fans.

Jiangshan walked into Stamford Bridge. The voices of the fans were very loud. More than 300 away fans of Milan occupied a corner of the stadium and kept shouting.

Milan has been defeated in the Champions League for consecutive years. If they can't make a breakthrough, both the players and the top management will be under great pressure. Their total wages are among the top in Europe, and the quality of their players is also high. It is unacceptable if they can't achieve results.

Mourinho took the initiative to walk towards Jiangshan and extended his hand, "Hello, coach Jiangshan, we will definitely win this series."

"The game is two rounds, and winning or losing the first game doesn't matter." Jiangshan smiled. The team is in bad shape, and the old players are exhausted. He is not sure to beat Chelsea.

There are too many old players. The deeper the season, the harder the game is. It is especially challenging for the coach's rotation skills. Jiangshan has not done enough, otherwise he would not have lost points in the last game.

"The last time we met, you beat me 3:0. I always remember that I will definitely take revenge today." Mourinho said confidently.

"Revenge is not about words. See you on the court."

Both sides have arranged strong lineups.

Mourinho's side is still the familiar 433 formation. All the main players are arranged to win the game at home.

Goalkeeper Cech, the Premier League Golden Glove last season, set the record for the goalkeeper with the fewest goals conceded.

On the back line, Ferreira, Carvalho, Terry and Del Horno are lined up. The central defender combination of Terry and Carvalho is now the top central defender combination in the Premier League. The three midfielders are Makelele, Lampard and Gudjohnsen. Makelele still has strong fighting power, and Lampard has strong impact and it is difficult to prevent his shot from behind. On the forward line, Drogba is in the middle, and he can do well whether shooting or making a pass. He is paired with Robben and Joe Cole, and there are top strikers like Crespo on the bench.

The team is super strong in strength and hardness, and it is not easy to deal with.

On the Milan side, the lineup is 4312, and Jiangshan's arrangement is also full of offensive power. His goal is to keep a draw and win away from home.

Goalkeeper Dida is the main force that cannot be shaken.

On the back line is the combination of Cafu, Nesta, Simic and Maldini. The combination is relatively young. Stam is old and can't withstand the impact of Drogba.

The three midfielders are Gattuso, Pirlo and Ambrosini, and Seedorf is placed in the front midfielder position to control the offensive rhythm in the frontcourt. Mourinho will definitely give the ball possession to Milan, and Jiangshan will naturally accept it.

On the forward line, Kaka and Shevchenko will partner.

The Champions League quarterfinals are about to begin.
