When Tottenham Hotspur and AC Milan held a press conference, fans of the two teams were also gathering in the direction of North London. According to statistics from the relevant British immigration departments, there were at least [-] red and black fans. In the UK, most of these fans do not have tickets, and they will cheer for their teams in pubs, squares and outside White Hart Lane.This has brought great trouble to the law and order in London. Supporters of the two teams had some small-scale conflicts from time to time, and the police had to step up their vigilance to avoid riots caused by angry fans.

At 4:22 p.m. on April 7, the White Hart Lane Stadium in the Tottenham community was full of seats. Nearly 45 home fans rendered the White Hart Lane Stadium into a white world again. Many football stars and some European celebrities I also came to the VIP box to appreciate such a contest between offensive football and defensive football.Tottenham is shocking Europe with its powerful offensive firepower, while AC Milan is a leader in Serie A, which is famous for its defense in the world football. The confrontation between the two can be called a contest of spear and shield.

On the stands of the White Hart Lane Stadium, banners and flags covered almost the entire stand. Most of these banners and flags were written with the words "Assassins must win!" "Champions League final, here we come!" "We will create another legend !" Content like "Win the Premier League first, then the Champions League".

The Tottenham fans who had just won the league championship were extremely excited, and at the same time they were full of confidence in the team's current strength. There were endless cheers and singing. Milan, strip off the gorgeous coats of the giants, and hold the championship firmly in the palm of your hand!".

The atmosphere in the stands became more heated and frenzied.

The commentators in the commentary are also analyzing and interpreting the game. The home commentator Crew Landes said excitedly: "The Assassins have reached a critical period again! The semi-finals of the Champions League! After the semi-finals , The championship trophy is just around the corner! Tottenham have successfully won the league championship this season, and now they will launch another road to the championship! This team, established in 1882, has had glory and sorrow, And now, they have the opportunity to regain their glory and become kings in Europe. Will they be able to seize this opportunity? Let everyone wait and see..."

"For AC Milan, this is also a great challenge. They have won 7 UEFA Champions League trophies before. No one will dislike too many honors. The Milanese have a strong belief and desire to win the Champions League. They will work hard for the eighth Champions League trophy in the club's history!"

Huaxia's commentators Duan Xuan and He Wei are also taking advantage of this period before the start of the game to talk about some stories and recent developments related to the two teams, and at the same time to stir up the fans' enthusiasm for watching the game.

"For Tottenham, this game can be said to have only motivation and no pressure. Because they have reached the semi-finals of the Champions League and have created a new record in the history of the club. It is naturally best to go further. Even if they fail, it is an honor to lose Of course, judging from the current state and ambitions of the new Premier League champions, they must hope to beat their opponents at home and take the initiative to advance. With the advantage of time, location, people and advantages, Tottenham’s game The chances of winning are obviously very high." Brother Duan Xuan shook his head and said.

He Wei also nodded in agreement and said: "From the perspective of fame and background, Tottenham is not as good as AC Milan, but football is not determined by fame. Today's Tottenham can be said to be not inferior in strength. Among any giants in European football, even Barcelona, ​​which is as strong as an alien team, dare not guarantee that they can win against Tottenham. More importantly, Tottenham has the advantage of playing at home, and their impact is full , whether the old Milan defense can withstand Tottenham's crazy attack will be the key factor that determines the outcome of this game... Tottenham's fast attack is quite powerful, and it is possible that the ability to seize gaps and opportunities is very strong, AC Milan As long as you are not careful, you will fall into a situation where there is no end to redemption..."

"...The game is about to start! The players of the two teams have appeared on the court, and the referee and his two assistants are ready...We have already got the starting lists of the two teams, Now let's take a look at the players of the two teams who started the game--

AC米兰（4-4-2）：1-马尔科.阿梅利亚/19-赞布罗塔、13-亚历山德罗.内斯塔、33-蒂亚戈.席尔瓦、76-耶佩斯/4-马克.范博梅尔、8-加图索、23-安布罗西尼、10-西多夫/7-亚历山大.帕托、11-伊布拉希莫维奇。

托特纳姆热刺（4-1-3-2）：1-库迪奇尼/22-乔尔卢卡、13-威廉.加拉、20-迈克尔.道森、4-卡布尔/6-赫德尔斯通/3-加雷斯.贝尔、14-莫得里奇、10-莫非/11-范德法特、18-迪福。”

Before the game, AC Milan coach Allegri claimed that he must take away a victory in the away game, but when the starting lineup came out, there was a burst of mocking boos from the entire White Hart Lane stadium. AC Milan's formation is obviously a defensive formation, and the four players piled up in the midfield are all stronger in defense than offense.Allegri obviously played a flower gun. Before the game, he set off smoke bombs saying that Pato was injured and could not play, but now the Brazilian prodigy is bouncing on the field with great energy.

Redknapp frowned. Before the game, he thought that Allegri had lost his position due to his own "psychological warfare", and would go against Tottenham desperately when he came to the away game, but now, he It turns out that the old boy Allegri is also a cunning and cunning man. He was able to restrain the anger in his heart according to the situation and use the safest and most secure defensive counterattack formation to deal with Tottenham.

"It seems that this game is not as easy as imagined." Redknapp murmured in a low voice.

Although AC Milan's starting lineup made his pre-match "psychological warfare" in vain, Redknapp still maintains an optimistic view of this game. If you are not optimistic, look at these people on the AC Milan field , Redknapp couldn't help laughing.

Nesta, Yepes, Seedorf, Gattuso... Redknapp admitted that these players are all famous European football stars, but that's all in the past. As they grow older, their It is undeniable that the on-the-spot experience is getting richer, but the competitive state is declining. Can this old team withstand the young, energetic and impactful Tottenham?The answer is obvious……

What Redknapp can think of, Allegri can naturally think of.It's just that he doesn't have a good solution. The aging of AC Milan's personnel structure is no longer a problem for a day or two. He also wants the team to be full of vitality and reasonable structure, but he only has these cards in his hand, and he can only act according to the cards. vegetable.

Therefore, Allegri placed four central midfielders in the midfield in order to consolidate the team's defense, and then handed over the offensive task to Pato and Ibrahimovic, who have excellent personal abilities.His wishful thinking is that in the first round of the away game, if he doesn't lose, he wins, and he only needs a small victory to advance to the home game.Of course, he hopes to seize Tottenham's loopholes in the away game, and then counterattack fatally, so that they will have more choices when they return home, and they will have greater confidence in advancing.

After the start of the game, AC Milan in the away game took the lead in kick-off.Although they vowed before the game that they would teach the arrogant Tottenham a lesson, they must try their best to win the away game, but on the field, they did not rush to attack, but passed the ball to the rear and slowly fell. .

Allegri is a person with a very calm personality and knows how to endure. Similarly, his style of leading the team is also very tenacious. Tottenham’s deliberate provocation before the game and the humiliation of threatening to win at home did not make him lose his mind. It is very clear what kind of role Tottenham plays in European football today, and it is no exaggeration to describe it as the best performing team.He knows that if he wants to win at White Hart Lane, he must never play against Tottenham. Only by dealing with Tottenham patiently, focusing on defense, and not giving the opponent a chance, can he have a chance to win.Allegri believes that the young Tottenham are definitely not as patient as AC Milan, and patience is precisely what this old but calm AC Milan is good at.

He made up his mind to defend first, and then seek opportunities for combat.If there is no good opportunity, even if the whole team sticks to it for the whole game, he can definitely do it.The current AC Milan is no longer the invincible Rossoneri ten years ago. It is unrealistic to want to win and win beautifully.Winning or playing well, the choice between the two, Allegri will choose the former without hesitation.

Tottenham were full of confidence and talked a lot before the game, but they did not underestimate the enemy.During this period of time, Tottenham's training is mainly against fierce simulation games and watching AC Milan's games. They have a deep enough understanding of this AC Milan, Redknapp and Tottenham players. The concern is not AC Milan's offense, but how to penetrate the opponent's defense. AC Milan's frontcourt offensive combination is powerful, but this is not the reason why they can reach the semi-finals of the Champions League. The reason why they can achieve such outstanding results despite the serious aging of the team is entirely due to their excellent defense.

It is undeniable that AC Milan's players are all too old, and their competitive status has long been out of the peak, but their experience and skills have become more and more proficient, and their cooperation with each other is even more tacit. It can be said that they will be Italian football. Art at its peak.And it is precisely because of their steady defense, coupled with several strikers with outstanding personal abilities, and their defensive and counterattack tactics, they are invincible in the domestic league and the Champions League, and they even reached the semi-finals all the way.

Tottenham's deliberate provocation before the game was to lure this group of old guys who are getting older and more demonic to come out and fight against each other. Who would have known that the opponent's forbearance is so strong and the counterattack is so powerful before the game, but it's really on the field. Why should I continue to do it, it is still a posture of defensive counterattack...

However, Tottenham is a representative team of offensive football in today's football, and it happens to be the natural enemy of AC Milan's old and calm style of play. As the game progresses, it is foreseeable that Tottenham will take the initiative, and the only thing they need to consider The most important thing is, how to turn this advantage into a victory, how to completely drag down this "old demon line of defense"...

AC Milan's two forwards Pato and Ibrahimovic are both players with excellent offensive capabilities, but this game is obviously a contest of spear and shield. If you want to create a threat, you can only rely on yourself.Therefore, Redknapp let Huddlestone sweep in the midfield, and Ibrahimovic, who has a good running position and feet, was handed over to Dawson to mark. As for Pato, this player has the dexterity and elegance unique to Brazilian players. , but no matter how strong his breakthrough ability is, without the support of his teammates, he can only disappear in the vast ocean of Tottenham's defense...

The defense does not have much concern, so the team only needs to focus on offense.Redknapp's instruction to the team in this game is to attack with all their strength. Judging from the offensive formation he has arranged, the purpose is to score goals as soon as possible.

Therefore, as soon as the game started, the two teams presented a clear-cut camp on both ends of the offense and defense. One was the main attacker and the other was the main defender. The two teams were entangled near the midfield...
