Chapter 499 Ancelotti's Coping Style

Before the game, the Italian media gave AC Milan a chance to beat Millwall at the San Siro Stadium. They also cited many reasons. In addition, Galliani, Kaka, Seedorf and many other people stood up to express their disapproval. Confidence to win.

That's just an expression of AC Milan's seriousness about the game.

The UEFA Champions League semi-final with Millwall still has a special meaning for AC Milan-to keep the number one in Serie A and the status of the leader in Serie A.

The 'Phonegate' incident that happened last year had a great impact on AC Milan. Even though the team's lineup basically remained unchanged, the league results were also seriously affected. After Milan and Rome.

There is a good sentence - football politics.

That's what Italian football is all about.

Each team will have political leanings, and will be divided into leftists and rightists. The boss of AC Milan, Berlusconi, who has served as Italian Prime Minister for a long time, is the leader of the center-right Alliance Forza Party, and AC Milan is naturally a center-right team; in charge The Agnelli family of Juventus has always been on good terms with Berlusconi, and Juventus is naturally considered a right-wing force; Lazio and Rome are sworn enemies in the capital, and the same is true politically. Lazio is the most extreme right-leaning force. In the rich area of ​​Rome, because of the favor of the notorious Mussolini in history, he became a representative of the extreme right. There are often many protest flags in the stands of Lazio fans.

On the contrary, Lazio's sworn enemy Roma is a leftist team.

Other leftist teams are representative of Naples where Maradona played.

The Moratti family in charge of Inter Milan has always been politically neutral, but in the eyes of most people, Inter Milan is a left-leaning team.

Football seems to have nothing to do with politics, but it has a lot to do with football in Italy.

There is a saying in Italian football, "As long as the right wing is in power, it is impossible for Inter Milan to win the championship."

It seemed like a joke.

But looking back over the past ten years, Inter Milan has been investing heavily in the transfer market, but has been unable to win a league championship. It has been suppressed by AC Milan and Juventus. Is it just passing by, is it really just bad luck, insufficient coaching level, and players' performance problems?

Ronaldo.

Vieri.

Roberto Baggio.

Listening to the names of Inter Milan stars in the past, one can probably think about how brilliant Inter Milan was with 'bad grades'.

Inter Milan is not a special case.

Over the past decade or so, Italian 'leftist' teams have struggled to achieve good results, and Serie A has been almost dominated by rightist teams.

Italian football is not pure, and the darkness in it is unimaginable to the outside world.

It is a clear proof that the 'Gate' incident can expand and sweep the entire Italian football world. The [-] teams in Serie A, as long as they are stained with the word 'right' in politics, they are almost certainly contaminated.

This is no longer a simple football event, but has expanded to a game in Italian politics.

Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi is naturally the loser.

Although Berlusconi has been serving as the Prime Minister of Italy, everyone knows that his position is not so stable. There are demonstrations against Berlusconi everywhere, and what he said is not as effective as before.

Under such a political environment, AC Milan, as Berlusconi's team and as the representative team of the 'centre-right' league, will naturally be greatly affected.

In this season's league, AC Milan can only be inferior to Inter Milan and Rome.

For many teams, No.3 in Serie A is a remarkable achievement, which means that they can represent Italy and participate in the UEFA Champions League next year. For AC Milan, it is an unacceptable achievement, but they are in It is a certainty that the league will be suppressed by Inter Milan and Roma. At least this season, there is no chance, so they can only "play out" to maintain the dominance.

AC Milan fans also very much hope that the team can win the Champions League again, and then they will be able to face the Inter Milan fans with their heads high-Is Inter Milan the league champion?We are Champions League champions!
With the support of this mentality, AC Milan is very fighting on the court.They ran very actively, fought fiercely, played very tough games, and showed excellent coordination and skills.

Millwall is a little uncomfortable.

Many players feel that the game is not the semi-final of the Champions League, but the final of the Champions League. The trophy is determined in one game. They are prepared for a difficult game, but the level of hard work of the opponent is still somewhat unexpected.

Everyone can feel that the game is much more difficult than the first round!

However, Millwall has a score advantage, so naturally they also have a mental advantage. The performance in the game is still very stable, the cooperation in the offense is very stable, there are few times when passing and receiving the ball and suddenly attacking, and when the ball is lost by a tough defense There are very few, and the defensive formation is also very solid. If a player loses his position or is passed by the opponent, his teammates will immediately make up for it.

Such a calm style of play is the strategy formulated for preparing for the battle.

With a two-goal advantage, Millwall must focus on stability, defending and attacking steadily, not giving the opponent too many opportunities, and responding to changes with the same. The one who should be anxious is AC Milan. If there is a mistake, the team can seize the opportunity to catch the opponent by surprise.

The toughness of AC Milan and the calmness of Millwall collided, and the game became extremely exciting.

Every player on the field is running desperately, and every player is working hard.

AC Milan is lucky.

In the 201st minute of the game, Kaka received a pass from Seedorf and shot directly from outside the penalty area. The football was kicked out by Graham with double fists, and then Ambrosini followed up and shot an empty goal. Help AC Milan score the first goal of the game.

"GOOOAL!!!"

After Ambrosini completely scored the goal, the Italian commentator yelled wildly, "Ambrosini scored! The score became 2 to 3 in the two rounds! AC Milan recovered a goal! The difference between the two teams is only One left!"

"AC Milan only needs to score one more goal to eliminate Millwall and get close to the final of the Champions League!"

----

The San Siro stadium exploded!

Every Milan fan was shouting excitedly. Tens of thousands of voices gathered together, and the whole stadium seemed to be shaking. The last round of the game also proved that Millwall was not an easy opponent to deal with, but they did not expect that AC Milan performed so well and could complete the first goal in just over 20 minutes.

There is still a lot of time, enough for them to complete the second and third goals!

Maybe today is not just about eliminating Millwall, but also winning a big victory in the semi-finals of the Champions League!
The Milan fans were immediately excited.

Ancelotti, the head coach of AC Milan, has been sitting in a serious position, watching the game between the two teams seriously. When he saw Ambrosini scoring a goal, the old coach couldn't help showing a smile on his face. Not only is he happy for the quick goal, but the burden on his shoulders is much lighter.

The gap between the two balls is too heavy!

If the gap becomes a ball, the pressure becomes much less.

Ancelotti stood up and applauded, celebrating with the players on the bench. His expression also revealed his satisfaction with the game. At the same time, he was also proud of the adjustment against Millwall.

In the last round, AC Milan was not prepared enough.

This point needs to be reviewed by the AC Milan players, because they must be somewhat careless, and their performance is much worse than usual. Ancelotti himself also needs to review. His preparation for the game is insufficient, such as the emphasis on Braniff, The importance attached to Vardy, the importance attached to Morris, and so on.

It's also the media's fault.

AC Milan and Millwall have no record of fighting for a century, and the two sides are completely unfamiliar. To say that Millwall must have a certain understanding of AC Milan, because AC Milan has always stood on the world's highest stage, tactics, personnel, etc. It has already been thoroughly analyzed.

Millwall is different.

Millwall is a team that has only emerged in the past two years. If AC Milan wants to understand Millwall, they can only use game videos, temporary investigations by scouts, and news reports from the media.

So AC Milan suffered a disadvantage.

However, after the first round, AC Milan also had a thorough understanding of Millwall, including the opponent's tactics, including the opponent's player level, and the coaching staff led by Ancelotti also found the best way to deal with it—— tough.

Millwall is a Premier League team with a tough style, but they are still afraid of tough opponents.

Like Rome and Valencia.

In the UEFA Champions League group stage, the two rounds of matches between Rome and Millwall, with solid defense and toughness, caused Millwall to suffer a big loss; Valencia's strength was no worse than Roma, and they defeated Rome in both rounds, but they The two rounds against Millwall were nothing short of a tragedy, losing 'easily' every time without much resistance.

That's because Valencia's style is soft.

This also led to Millwall being able to give full play to their midfield coordination advantages and their player strength. Naturally, Valencia is not an opponent at all.

AC Milan will also play tough.

As long as you play against Millwall toughly, the opponent will not be able to play wantonly, and AC Milan will not be affected much, but the style of play will become simpler, but AC Milan has never lacked technical players. Midfielder Pirlo , Kaka, can completely drive the offensive rhythm, so that the goals can be played technically and efficiently.

Ambrosini's goal is the harvest after adjustment.

The tough scrambling of the audience prevented Millwall from playing, and at the same time created more opportunities for AC Milan. The cooperation between Seedorf and Kaka was a temporary performance and the inevitable result of tactics. Otherwise, there would be other cooperation. Threat to Millwall goal.

Ambrosini's timely follow-up is also the direct cause of the goal.

This goal made Ancelotti more confident in the game, and he looked forward to the next game.
