Chapter 498 The Great War Begins

The knockout rounds are life-and-death battles, and the losing side will be eliminated from the Champions League, losing hope of moving on.

The second round of the UEFA Champions League semi-finals is a life-and-death battle. One game decides which team will enter the final. The team that enters the final will definitely be ecstatic. Can leave with regret.

No matter what the result is, only one of the two teams can advance to the final. The cruelty of professional football is fully reflected in the rules.

AC Milan's situation is very unfavorable.

AC Milan trailed by two goals in the first round, and an away goal is not an advantage. If they want to advance, they must play an absolute advantage at home.

Millwall's situation is much better.

Although the Italian media keeps talking about, "AC Milan only needs 2-0 to eliminate Millwall", but how can 2-0 be so easy?Millwall only needs to defend the whole court. AC Milan needs to put in all their efforts and luck if they want to score two goals.

After all, this is a football game, scoring goals is very difficult.

As strong as AC Milan, it is relatively rare to score two more goals than the opponent, not to mention, the premise is that Millwall cannot score, otherwise AC Milan must score four goals to safely defeat millwall.

The score situation of the two teams is unfavorable to AC Milan. AC Milan club manager Galliani has something to say. He believes that AC Milan has a greater hope of advancing than Millwall. "The game is at the San Siro Stadium. We must admit , The last game was affected by away factors, and the memory of the Neil Stadium is not good, but when we return to the home court, our players can regain their form. As long as they play normally, it is not difficult to tie or overtake."

"This is not an exaggeration, but comes from the trust in the strength and state of the team."

When Galliani said these words, he showed full confidence.

Some British media retorted angrily, "You said you would beat Millwall in the last game!"

Galliani did not answer this.

The media in other countries may be surprised by Galliani's attitude and don't understand why he is so confident, but the Italian media have long been used to it. Galliani is the "spokesperson" of AC Milan. When he is at a disadvantage, he will stand up to boost morale.

Just like AC Milan lags behind Inter Milan and Roma in the standings in the league, Galliani has said more than once that AC Milan will play well in the next game and "certainly" be able to overtake the points. Did not achieve, AC Milan still ranked third in the league.

But in any case, Galliani always trusts AC Milan and trusts the attitude of all players, which may also increase his personality charm. Many players choose to join AC Milan because of Galliani.

The current AC Milan can be regarded as the creation of Galliani. Thinking of the collapse of the Lazio dynasty, AC Milan became the biggest beneficiary. Last year's "Callgate" scandal, Juventus was forced to relegation, and AC Milan was also fined. Penalty points, but under the operation of Galliani, AC Milan not only was not affected much, but successfully survived, and also achieved good results in the Champions League.

Galliani's contribution to AC Milan is very large, and he is also one of the most important figures in Italian football.

Even if there are many morale-boosting words, the goal cannot be achieved in the end, and few Italian media will criticize Galliani, and the Italian media also believe that AC Milan, sitting at the San Siro Stadium, will be a team with excellent fighting spirit and state The team also believes that AC Milan has great hope to achieve a home reversal, successfully eliminate Millwall, and enter the final again after two years.

Of course, the media in other countries did not understand.

The British media of course support Millwall. They think that Millwall has great hope of winning. One is that Millwall is full of fighting spirit. They have just won the league championship ahead of schedule. Without any pressure, they can focus on the Champions League. , and the second is that Millwall has a scoring advantage.

From any perspective, Millwall is more promising.

The last round of the game also gave the British media confidence. Before, they all believed that there was a gap between Millwall and AC Milan, but after the match at the Neal Stadium, they found that Millwall was not much worse than AC Milan. The efficiency in front of the goal guarantees Millwall's performance. Even if they play away games, they will be more confident.

The pre-match atmosphere has been picked up by reports from the national media of both sides.

AC Milan, from the players to the coaches, continued to show confidence. Millwall did the opposite. They didn't say anything before the game and just focused on preparing for the game.

This is a flamboyant strategy.

With two goal advantages, there is no need for Millwall to fight a war of words with AC Milan. If you really do it, you will fall into the opponent's trap.

AC Milan just don't want Millwall to concentrate on preparing for the game, because a well-prepared Millwall will greatly reduce their winning rate. What they hope to encounter is a proud Millwall, a Millwall that is out of form Wall, a Millwall team that performed poorly on the field.

Zhang Yang will not let the team ignore the opponent's provocation.

What needs to be done before the game is to prepare for the game, let each player adjust his physical condition, and let the whole team fully prepare, so as not to give the opponent any chance.

It doesn't matter what the other party does.

----

The game is coming soon.

The San Siro Stadium, located in the San Siro district of Milan, Italy, has been overcrowded early.

This stadium, also known as the Giuseppe Meazza Stadium, is a shared stadium for two giant teams in Milan - AC Milan and Inter Milan. It is owned by the Milan City Government and is a UEFA five-star football stadium.

A five-star football stadium rated by UEFA must have a large audience capacity. The San Siro Stadium alone has [-] seats and can accommodate up to [-] or [-] fans. The average team certainly does not have this many Fans, but AC Milan is different. They are one of the best teams in Italy. Whenever there is an important game, the stadium will be crowded. In addition to the fans of the team, there are many tourists from Milan who will come Go to the scene to watch the game and enjoy the passion and joy of football together.

Today's game is very important.

There were more than 6 AC Milan supporters, nearly 5000 other fans and neutral fans, and almost [-] Millwall fans.

5000 people is already a lot.

The number of fans of the Millwall club does not exceed 10. Generally, the Neal Stadium is just filled for home games. The number of fans who can come to Milan with the team to watch the game has reached 5000. It is definitely a century-old history. Peak.

This may also be the gap between small clubs and giants.

Even the [-] fans who came here were not all pure Millwall supporters. Most of them were fans in the London area, but some were Chelsea supporters, as well as Fulham supporters. Supporters of London Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur, they came to support Millwall, part of the reason is due to the national football confrontation, England and Italy football confrontation is an old topic of European football confrontation, they will naturally Backing Millwall to beat AC Milan.

In addition, part of the reason was attributed to Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang's 'fan group' still has a certain strength. The members of the fan group are not limited to Millwall fans. Many fans from other teams also support Zhang Yang, so they came to support Millwall.

This is the driving effect of stars.

No matter how many fans support Millwall, they can't keep up with the home team AC Milan, or even less than one-tenth of the fans of the home team. Therefore, the shouts at the scene are basically support for AC Milan. The fan atmosphere is naturally very beneficial to AC Milan. .

The game is about to start, and players from both teams have already appeared on the field.

The atmosphere of the stadium was mobilized, and the shouts of fans were everywhere. With the introduction of the players in the auditorium, the shouts increased by an order of magnitude.

In this atmosphere, Zhang Yang walked to the coach's bench to do a good job. He scanned the entire court with a faint smile on his face.

AC Milan coach Ancelotti also walked to Milan's coaching bench, and the old coach glanced this way.

The two looked at each other and nodded.

Afterwards, as the referee's whistle sounded, the battle between AC Milan and Millwall officially started.
