Star Coach

In late February 2007, the Champions League was rekindled, and the round of 16 began to compete for eight qualifying places.

Milan first had to travel to Portugal to challenge Porto, the leader of the Portuguese Super League. Jiangshan's team is still ranked second in the Serie A, and the points gap with Inter Milan is still 5 points, and it continues to wait for opportunities.

Porto has been in general in recent years. After Mourinho left, they changed 4 head coaches in two years. Now the Portuguese coach Jesualdo Ferreira is the fifth head coach.

The old coach has been struggling in the Portuguese Super League and can be said to be a late bloomer. He succeeded in Braga from 2003 to 2006. Braga became the most successful Portuguese club after the three Portuguese powers of Lisbon Sporting, Porto and Benfica.

After becoming the head coach of Porto, Ferreira basically won the domestic championship, but he has been unable to make a breakthrough in the Champions League. Facing AC Milan, they just want to win at home, or to keep a draw.

AC Milan has been too fierce in the Champions League in the past two years. Last year, it was simply unstoppable. This year is a little better, but everyone knows that Milan will not hold back in the knockout stage.

Jiangshan's team has no injuries now. Ronaldo has recovered and found the feeling of scoring through several games. He will be ready to play in the next game.

"Coach, I'm ready. I can bomb any team's goal. I want to score, eagerly and eagerly."

"Coach, I'm also ready. I won't worry about any striker in front of me. I want to block everyone's goal. I am full of strength." Nesta, who returned from injury, is also full of spirit.

Some time ago, Nesta was troubled by injuries and Milan lost 4 points in the league. Fortunately, Inter Milan lost points almost at the same time, otherwise their gap would be widened again.

Dragon Stadium, one of the few crazy stadiums in Europe, is not easy to conquer even if the giants come here.

Porto wanted to win, so Ferreira deployed his troops. He also knew that the best way to face Milan was to counter-rob on the spot, otherwise sending the ball to the opponent's feet would be like handing the knife to them.

Asking them to slowly cut their flesh on you.

Porto played a 442 formation, with Elton as the goalkeeper, and the back line was lined up with Bosingwa, Pepe, Alves and Fucile. Bosingwa and Pepe both made their debuts in Porto, but this Alves is different from Alves in Barcelona, ​​not the same person.

The midfield trio of Meireles, Gonzalez and Paulo Assuncao, and the front line trio of Sandro Lopez, Postiga and Quaresma.

Well, many people are familiar with the names of the players in the midfield, but none of them have reached the height that everyone thinks, and none of them have grown up, which is a bit of a pity. Instead, Pepe on the back line has become a master of his generation.

On the Milan side, Jiangshan arranged a lineup, also standing in 433, tit for tat.

Goalkeeper Dida, Zambrotta, Nesta, Maldini and Grosso in the back line are all in good shape. Stam also returned successfully. The old man can still hold on for a while, and the team's back line is well-staffed.

The midfield trio, Gattuso, Pirlo and Ambrosini, are clearly divided into players who focus on defense and offense. Recently, several of them are in good shape and have recovered well.

The front court trio, Ronaldo who returned from injury, played with Kaka and Ronaldinho, a crazy front court combination, an almost invincible trio.

If Ronaldo was in peak condition, Porto could surrender directly.

After the game started, Milan slowly took control of the situation. Ronaldinho was dispatching in the front court, and Pirlo was in the midfield. The connection between the several people was very clear. The Porto players also knew that they had to defend them, but there was no way, they couldn't defend.

Pirlo made a long pass to Ronaldinho's feet. Ronaldinho shook a few steps, passed through Assuncao's defense, and easily kicked the ball to Ronaldo's feet.

Ronaldo leaned against Pepe and used his body to force the ball. Pepe used his hands and feet to try to stop Ronaldo, and his face changed.

Suddenly, Ronaldo turned around, and Pepe's nerves were tense. He kicked and committed fouls. It was too late, the ball had already entered the net.

After Ronaldo scored, he opened his arms and left the goal scene easily. Pepe looked lonely, "Who can tell me what happened just now? How did Ronaldo score?"

Jiangshan smiled. He was very satisfied with Ronaldo's fighting power. He returned from injury and adapted to the league. Now he is fully recovered and in good shape. This year's Champions League is expected.

Less than 10 minutes after the start, Milan had scored a goal and led 1:0 away, catching Porto off guard.

Just now, when Ronaldo turned around, he keenly discovered that the goalkeeper was not in a good position and there was space. While turning around, he poked the ball with his toes, and the ball was fast and fierce, and instantly bombed the goal.

Pepe paid attention to the upper body, but not Ronaldo's little movements, and was taught a lesson by the alien.

Ronaldo excitedly walked to the sidelines and celebrated with Jiangshan by high-fiving.

"Well done, you can continue to score goals." Jiangshan smiled happily. The Brazilian front three made a name for themselves in AC Milan, and it was the young head coach Jiangshan who made a name for them.

The game continued, and Porto's players were not cowards. They kept attacking at home, thinking about equalizing the score as soon as possible. Nesta and Maldini controlled the defense and did not give the opponent any chance.

A healthy Nesta is particularly important to AC Milan. No matter how Jiangshan arranges, Nesta's rotation is the least. He is the mainstay in the backcourt and is irreplaceable.

Milan lost the game immediately due to the injury some time ago. Now that they have recovered, Milan's defense is once again solid. The ball was intercepted by Nesta and passed to Pirlo in front of him.

Pirlo drooped his eyelids, turned around, took three steps, and kicked. The action was neither fast nor slow, but the rhythm was very beautiful and full of beauty.

The ball flew up and fell to Kaka's feet. Kaka twisted the ball, faced Meireles, kicked forward vigorously, and passed it to himself three seconds later. He separated the ball, accelerated, and passed.

A crushing pass, a very brutal action, Meireles hung behind Kaka to chase back, but in fact he was just pretending and couldn't catch up at all. Kaka instantly killed to the front of the penalty area, and Alves came up to press.

Kaka showed no fear and continued to accelerate, but instead of rushing forward, he cleverly passed the ball to the side and it landed at Ronaldo's feet. Ronaldo did not shoot.

He sent a beautiful through ball, passing between Pepe and Bosingwa, and Ronaldinho appeared in the gap between their defenses. Facing the ball, he shot easily.

Elton knew the ball was coming, so he instinctively dived down, and the ball flew over his head and playfully went into the net. Ronaldinho's shot was a beautiful shot without any signs.

"2:0, Milan expanded the score." Less than 30 minutes after the start, Milan was already two goals ahead, and the general tone of the game had been set.
