Chapter 1096 The Gunner Myth Wears the Wrong Jersey

Li Huan's goal broke Chelsea's confidence. In the rest of the time, Chelsea did not organize a threatening attack, and Arsenal was also afraid of away games. After 3 minutes of stoppage time, Arsenal and Chelsea The same city derby is over, Arsenal won the battle of Tianwangshan 4:3, although Manchester United also won the game, the score gap is still three points, but the next three games Arsenal are all against the underdogs, the league The championship is basically just around the corner.

After the game, No.2 Manchester United coach Ferguson has publicly stated that Manchester United has no chance, "As long as Arsenal don't make a mistake, we have no chance, not to mention they still have the capital to make a mistake, we can only wait for the next one." This season, Arsenal will not be so strong forever, they have weakened a lot compared to last season, the world is not about who is stronger, but who is more durable."

The martyr Ferguson is full of ambition in his old age, and his pride is admirable, but it also shows that Ferguson is desperate. After being tortured by Li Huan's Arsenal for two seasons, Ferguson no longer believes in miracles. The 70-year-old can only pin his hopes on the future.

After defeating Chelsea in the away game, Arsenal put all their energy into the Champions League. They defeated AC Milan 2-0 in the away game at San Siro, but their opponent was AC Milan, who was second only to Real Madrid in the Champions League. Coach Allegri is known as "Ancelotti in the locker room, Capello on the pitch".Arsenal have to deal with it carefully. If they lose in the league, they can make up for it. If they lose in the Champions League knockout rounds, there is no chance of making up for it.
And AC Milan, who was humiliated at home, also vowed to take revenge. Although AC Milan has fallen into a trough in the past two years, they still have their own pride in the Champions League. They can be eliminated, but they cannot be eliminated in such a dignified way. Elimination, even if they leave, they have to leave with their heads held high. They must at least score a goal in this game.

Head coach Allegri led the team to London and released words, expressing the determination not to give up. Allegri said: "Between the semi-finals is already a success, the semi-finals is our goal before the start of the season. , but Milan will never give up on any event, even if it seems that there is not much hope, it is related to the glory and tradition of Milan. We have a long history and tens of millions of fans all over the world. We cannot let them Disappointed, we will try our best to win this game. We beat Manchester United in Manchester four years ago, and then we won the championship. I hope our players can repeat this glorious history."

Allegri's words greatly inspired the enthusiasm of the fans. Originally, because they fell behind 0:2 at home and had no hope of promotion, some fans had begun to hesitate whether to go on an expedition across the sea. Allegri's words made many AC Milan fans They have strengthened their minds to help out across the sea, and they believe that their team will create miracles.

In the UK, the media regards this game as an important battle for the Premier League to dominate the five major leagues. The winner who defeated AC Milan in this game and defeated Real Madrid and Barcelona in the final won the three consecutive Champions League titles. It is undoubtedly established that if Arsenal's strength can continue, an Arsenal dynasty comparable to Milan and Real Madrid will be well-deserved.

Wenger mainly practiced defense in the pre-match training. The 2:0 score in the away game gave Arsenal enough confidence to strengthen their defense. Although Arsenal's defense is not very strong, it is also random at the Emirates Stadium. Break through their defense, even if AC Milan can break through their goal twice, who can guarantee that Arsenal will not break the goal.

There is also good news for Arsenal. The winger Marta they bought at the beginning of the season has returned from injury. Although he may not be able to play the whole game, he can still look forward to playing three or four 10 minutes. Walcott, with Li Huan behind, if Marta can appear on the right, Arsenal's counterattack power can be directly increased by [-]%.

For AC Milan, their strength is not without a little improvement. On their left side, Tavoy came back in the last game. He was one of the heroes of AC Milan's championship last season. He was injured in the middle of the season. , and now finally back, compared to the old Zambrotta, Tavoy is more aggressive, this is a huge threat to Sagna on the right.

The day before the game, under the leadership of chairman Galliani, AC Milan players and club players arrived in London. More than 2000 fans came to the airport to pick them up, including more than 500 Arsenal fans. Of course, they did not come to AC Milan. Friendly, they are here to demonstrate to the visiting team.

"Italians, you are dead!"

"We're going to fuck you two more balls, no, we're going to fuck you three more."

"Fuck the cowardly Italian pig five!" some Arsenal fans chanted, holding out five fingers.

British football hooligans have always been famous all over the world. The AC Milan players tried their best to restrain themselves. After they got off the plane, they quickly drove to the hotel, leaving only the club staff to deal with the Arsenal fans.

That night, Allegri, known as the green Napoleon, protested to the Arsenal club, thinking that the provocation of the Gunners fans at the airport was too much. Peace of mind game.

The Arsenal club quickly responded to Allegri's protest. The club's executive chairman Gazidis personally called Allegri to apologize and told Allegri that he would try his best to restrain the fans and ensure that tomorrow's game will be played. went well.

Although the Arsenal Club issued an announcement to the fans, punishing the fans who caused trouble and prohibiting them from entering the Emirates Stadium to watch the game within a year or even longer, they are not the police after all. That night, AC Milan fans from Italy and British fans There were still some conflicts in the bar, but because the London police had made some preparations in advance, these conflicts did not cause casualties.

On the second day, with the continuous influx of fans from all over the world, the London City Government increased the police force to maintain social order, and the Emirates Stadium also increased security to ensure the smooth progress of the game. In the evening, in Milan, Italy, The police have also increased their police force to prevent conflicts between the fans of Inter Milan and AC Milan. According to past experience, if AC Milan fails, Inter Milan fans will definitely come out to celebrate, which will be regarded as provocation by angry AC Milan fans; And if AC Milan wins and miraculously enters the final, AC Milan fans will undoubtedly directly challenge Inter Milan fans.So regardless of the outcome of this game, fans are likely to cause trouble.The Milan police must be prepared for this.

The game was held at 7:45 in the evening. The players on both sides knew the basics after the previous fight. There was no need to test each other in this game. After the opening, they went straight to the theme and fought together.

During the Cagliari period, Allegri was famous for his 4312 formation. The tactical play of a single midfielder and double forwards can make the team's offense more layered, combining the penetration of the center and the assault on the side.The formation of three midfielders can also allow the team to achieve a balanced transition between offense and defense.Among the three midfielders, the position of the defensive midfielder is the most critical.Allegri first followed Leonardo's 433 formation, but the effect was not good, so he switched to the 4312 formation and achieved great success in one fell swoop.At that time, he racked his brains to find the midfielder, and finally decided to move Ambrosini's position to the center. Later, Ambrosini was injured and Van Bommel stood in this position again.

In this game, AC Milan's tactics have not changed in any way.The only change is that Tavoy replaced Zambrotta's main position, but this does not mean that Allegri did not make adjustments to the team's style of play. In this game, AC Milan's players ran faster than at home. To be positive, Allegri aimed at Arsenal's weak midfield control ability. In this game, he adopted the tactics of pressing the whole court and scoring goals as soon as possible.

Arsenal are obviously not adapting to AC Milan's tactics, because in their impression, AC Milan is a controlling team. They are not fast-paced, and they are good at making a sudden blow in a slow rhythm, killing the enemy. And now this seemingly old AC Milan has transformed into a Manchester United team wearing red and black jerseys, and Italian players have defensive genes in their blood. Such an AC Milan team is even more terrifying than the genuine Manchester United team. Because that kind of Manchester United Arsenal is very familiar, but now this Manchester United Arsenal, which is like taking stimulants, is very strange. They are forced to be in a hurry, and they don't even know how to deal with them.

At this time, Li Huan played the mainstay role in the defense line. He saw the danger of AC Milan's change of formation. It was difficult for his teammates to deal with it. If he was not careful, he might be scored by AC Milan and scored two goals in the away game. Now, the most important thing is not to score goals, but not to concede a goal. Li Huan understands this truth, so he does not assist, but stays in the backcourt to help defend the middle, try his best to avoid conceding goals early, the later the better. If it can be delayed until the second half, the promotion will be sure.

Ibrahimovic is the main center forward, and Robinho is on his side, but Robinho often retreats to pass the ball to Ibrahimovic. If a player like Ibrahimovic has a good header, Vermaelen and Kosche It is difficult for Ernie to guard him, but Ibrahimovic is not good at heading the ball. With such a dense number of players in the penalty area, it is difficult for Ibrahimovic's delicate skills to get a chance to display.

After more than ten minutes of the game, AC Milan had the upper hand. Arsenal was forced to defend near the penalty area at home. However, Arsenal, who were united and executed well in tactics, did not give AC Milan a chance to score. This made the commentator unable to hold back. Exclaimed: The two sides in this game seem to be wearing the wrong jerseys, Arsenal has become AC Milan, and AC Milan has become Arsenal.
