Star Coach

In the second round of the Champions League semi-finals, AC Milan played against Manchester United at home. The sky was gloomy and it didn't rain. The fans were very enthusiastic and the noise was no less than that at Old Trafford before the game started.

Ferguson walked into the San Siro Stadium with his own aura of a big boss, and the fans rarely booed. The old man walked towards Jiangshan, "We must win the key battle. Let you feel our ground cooperation."

"It's going to rain, and the ground cooperation can't be played." Jiangshan smiled and was very calm, "I want to win this game. I want to defend the Champions League, and no one can stop me."

As he spoke, a drizzle fell and hit the old faces of the two men, "Did you see it? God is helping me."

"It's just a drizzle, the cooperation will not be affected."

Jiangshan stopped talking, he didn't want to say too much. Before the game, he arranged for the staff to water the lawn more, and it was still soaked now. First of all, the players' running was different from usual.

Of course, if the rain was a little heavier, the impact would be even greater. Playing in the water would be completely different.

Ferguson looked at the lawn alertly. The grass was green and felt different. He immediately had a bad feeling.

"Scholes should be able to control the situation on the court." Ferguson thought to himself.

In this game, Manchester United's starting lineup was only adjusted. Scholes replaced Smith. The other starting players were the same as the previous round. But the formation has changed. Manchester United played a 433 formation. The front three were Rooney, Rooney and Giggs. The prototype of the front court running flow has appeared.

Jiangshan's personnel arrangement was similar. He thought the same as the red-nosed old man. Thomason also did not start. He was replaced by Seedorf.

Gattuso was injured and Vogel started, partnering with Pirlo, Ambrosini and Seedorf, a four-man midfield. Ronaldo and Ronaldinho were in the front court, and Ronaldinho was lurking behind Ronaldo.

Jiangshan arranged a 4411 formation, and Ronaldinho almost became a free man in the front court.

Before the game, Milan's players were very excited. When they saw it was raining, they immediately gained confidence. During this period, they arranged to train in the rain every day, but they didn't expect it to rain.

"Jiangshan is really amazing. He even took the weather into consideration. What reason do we have not to win this game?" Ronaldinho thought excitedly.

Ronaldo had the same idea, "It shouldn't hurt if I fall in the rain, right? I shouldn't get hurt. Well, I'll do a good job in the next game."

Seedorf looked at Pirlo, who shrugged, "Jiangshan is a Chinese. He knows everything about astronomy and geography."

"Beep!"

The game started, and Manchester United took the lead in attacking. Rooney held the ball, broke through, cut into the edge of the penalty area, and passed the ball to Rooney in the middle.

Then, Rooney missed the ball and he slipped.

The grass was a bit slippery... It was moist and comfortable to step on, but when he exerted force to pedal, the point of force was obviously not as good as the dry grass, and then he exerted too much force and fell to the ground.

Ferguson's face suddenly changed, "Wipe, wipe, wipe... So that's it, Jiangshan, that bastard. They watered the lawn too much, plus the weather is not good, today's game is very dangerous."

Milan is controlling the ball, not fast, slowly controlling the ball, advancing, and gradually approaching Manchester United's penalty area.

After a long period of training by Jiangshan, AC Milan has reached perfection in passing, controlling and counterattacking, and every trick can be used easily. Manchester United's changes are not as good as Milan, and this game is very difficult.

The ball passed from Pirlo's feet to Seedorf, then to Ronaldinho, and then to Ronaldo. Ronaldo dribbled the ball, but his speed was not fast and was blocked by Vidic.

The shot was not strong enough, and Ferdinand controlled the ball.

The influence of the lawn is mutual. Manchester United's players are affected, and so are Milan's players. It's just that they are more adaptable, and they can control the power and rhythm better, which is an advantage.

Sometimes when masters compete, a little advantage can determine the outcome of the game.

Ferguson felt the crisis approaching, and immediately rushed to the sidelines to direct the team, letting Scholes and Carrick hold the ball and dispatch the attack.

Milan's attack was obviously in the air, guarding against the poor environment on the ground. Manchester United should also learn, and immediately go high in the air and try to avoid the ground. But Manchester United's players were obviously not used to it, and suddenly changed tactics without sufficient preparation before the game, which was too difficult.

In the 13th minute, AC Milan broke the deadlock.

Midfielder Pirlo's overhead pass fell to Ronaldo's feet. Ronaldo took a step and immediately attracted Vidic and Ferdinand's defense, leaning over and passing the ball with a chic move.

With a heel knock, the ball was passed to Ronaldinho behind. Ronaldinho kicked directly and scored with a lob.

Ronaldinho scored again, and AC Milan took the lead in the score, 1:0. The big score was tied to 3:3.

According to the advantage of home and away goals, Milan only needs to maintain the score until the end of the game to advance to the Champions League final and reach the Greek Olympic Stadium.

Seeing Milan's goal, Ferguson's face changed. He could clearly feel that Milan's players were very adaptable to the current situation, especially the rainy game, they were absolutely prepared.

Very well prepared.

"Jiangshan actually arranged rainy game training?" Queiroz leaned close to Jiangshan's ear and said, "Did he know it was going to rain today?"

"No, he just knew that there would be more rainy weather this week. This guy is too difficult to deal with." Ferguson gritted his teeth and blurted out a few words.

After scoring the first goal and taking the lead in the series, the spirits of the Milan players were even higher. Their impact was released, the pressure was reduced, and they kept attacking Manchester United's defense.

"Jiangshan's arrangement is too correct. As long as we follow him, we will definitely win the championship." Pirlo agreed with Jiangshan more and more in his heart, "This guy, at such a young age, has such a powerful calculation."

"Our coach is really amazing." Hummels and David Silva smiled at each other, thinking the same thing in their hearts.

The rain, with no intention of stopping, was getting heavier and heavier.

Water began to accumulate on the lawn, and the offensive rhythm of Manchester United players became more and more chaotic. Their ground penetration had been penetrated by rain. They couldn't play, and the game became more and more difficult.

Before the end of the first half, Milan expanded the score again.

Seedorf received Ronaldinho's pass and scored a close shot, expanding the score to 2:0.

2:0 at home, 2:3 away, leading by a big score of 4:3. And AC Milan has two away goals. Manchester United must score 2 goals to turn the tables. Scoring 2 goals and tying the score, they won their first game and could advance.

But in the current situation, can they score 2 goals?

Milan entered the second half with a score of 2:0. Jiangshan quickly made personnel adjustments, replacing Seedorf, the hero of the goal, with the young Silva, so that he could feel the atmosphere of the Champions League semi-finals.

Silva is a technical player and in good shape. At the last moment, he assisted Inzaghi, who came on as a substitute, to score the winning goal, 3:0.

Milan won a big victory over Manchester United at home and advanced strongly.
