Chapter 977 Pay tribute to Su Dong!
Allegri lost his soul to Milan!
The day after Manchester City's [-]-[-] victory over AC Milan, Gazzetta dello Sport accused AC Milan coach Allegri of a problem with his formation, which led to a disastrous defeat for AC Milan in the away game.

Gazzetta dello Sport analyzed Allegri's tactical intentions, but at the same time pointed out the problem, that is, Robinho's running is not active, which has caused Busquets to be in a long-term unmarked state, calmly taking and releasing the ball.

There is also a problem with Milan's striker, that is, Robinho and Ibrahimovic are too sticky to the ball. Both of them like to play with their feet, so that in the counterattack, Milan's rapid advance is poorly completed.

This point was actually revealed in the first round of the game. Gazzetta dello Sport estimates that this is why Allegri chose Shalawi in the second round, but obviously, Shalawi did not solve Milan's counterattack problem.

This created a very embarrassing situation.

Without Kevin Boateng, the midfielder was unable to suppress Manchester City. Robinho, Ibrahimovic and Shalawi's counterattacks were not sharp.

The final result is that throughout the game, Manchester City's ball possession rate exceeded [-]%, and Milan fell to an absolute disadvantage. They did not organize a threatening attack throughout the game, let alone scored a goal.

It can be said that this game was a one-sided massacre, only losing [-] to [-], which is already considered lucky for AC Milan.

In addition, Gazzetta dello Sport also accused AC Milan's players that they were not active enough and did not invest enough in the game.

"Compared to them, Manchester City's players have a very clear goal from the beginning, that is to score goals, not even just one goal, they want more goals, which makes them put a lot of effort on the pitch."

"In contrast, the performance of Milan's players in the first half can be said to be a disaster. They didn't get better until the second half, but their physical fitness was also overdrawn, and they gradually began to fail to keep up with Manchester City's rhythm."

Gazzetta dello Sport focused on Robinho and Ibrahimovic.

The former did not execute the tasks assigned by Allegri well, and did not mark Busquets to death, which caused Manchester City's midfielder to be in a very relaxed and free state throughout the game, which caused Robinho to be criticized a lot.

As for Ibrahimovic, it is more about his misfire on the court.

Every time in the key finals, Ibrahimovic will be invisible, which is a very strange thing.

A few days ago, he had just scored a hat-trick against Palermo, and he was in very good form, and he won applause from the sky.

Former Milan defender Tone said, "Ibrahimovic can win the Ballon d'Or!"

Sabatini, a well-known reporter from Sky Sports, said on social media that if AC Milan can kill Manchester City like Palermo in the second round against Manchester City, this year's Golden Globe will belong to Ibrahimovic.

Even AC Milan coach Allegri said before the game that Ibrahimovic is not inferior to Su Dong, both of them are the strongest centers in the world today. "

Ibrahimovic himself was also deeply encouraged. Before the game, he even threatened to challenge Su Dong, to prove who is the world's strongest center forward, but in the game, his performance was not even the slightest partner of the core players, and he could not lead the team to break through the imprisonment of Manchester City.

"In this contest with Su Dong, Zlatan Ibrahimovic set off the greatness of Su Dong very well." Gazzetta dello Sport commented on Ibrahimovic's performance.

AC Milan's general manager Galliani also expressed regret after the game that Ibrahimovic lost again in this direct contest with Su Dong, and AC Milan was also eliminated.

"We all know that he wants to win the Ballon d'Or, but to win the Ballon d'Or, it is not enough to rely on the league title alone. You have to work hard to win higher-level championships, such as the Champions League, such as the World Cup."

The former Rossoneri legend Rivera also said after the game that Ibrahimovic has the strength to hit the Ballon d'Or, but it is not enough for the time being, especially in front of Su Dong.

"If he wants to win the supreme award, he needs to lead AC Milan to win the Champions League in the future, change the past sluggishness in the Champions League, and bring the aggressiveness of the league to the Champions League."

As for Su Dong, the Italian media and the celebrities in Milan have basically given extremely high evaluation and affirmation.

A hat-trick, especially the first two goals at the beginning of the game, dealt a great blow to AC Milan, and it can even be said to have affected the trend of the game afterwards.

Gazzetta dello Sport even quoted Allegri's remarks after the game, believing that AC Milan was defeated by Su Dong.

Without Su Dong's first two goals, AC Milan would never have played like this.

But there is no if in this world.

…………

…………

Compared with the Italian media who generally pay attention to AC Milan and accuse Zlatan Ibrahimovic, the British media pay more attention to Manchester City and Sudong, especially Sky Sports, which even reported on Manchester City's [-]-[-] victory over AC Milan at home with the headline "All England pays tribute to Sudong".

In the report, Sky Sports stated that Manchester City won back their self-esteem for the boring draw in the first round. At the same time, they also told everyone that if it were not for the referee's reason, they would end the game in the first round instead of staying in the second round.

Sky Sports focused on Su Dong, saying that the 27-year-old Chinese once again became the hero of Manchester City. He used a hat-trick to completely defeat the challenger Zlatan Ibrahimovic, and also helped Manchester City reach the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

"Facing the menacing AC Milan, Manchester City made sufficient preparations, but what was more important was Su Dong's on-the-spot performance. He broke the opponent's goal for Manchester City early and took the lead, and then sealed the victory with a wonderful goal."

"After leading by two goals, AC Milan basically disarmed, and Su Dong's third goal in the second half completely killed the game."

Sky Sports believes that Su Dong perfectly interprets the role of the world's top superstars, and at the same time, once again let people see Ibrahimovic's weaknesses and shortcomings.

"Unlike Su Dong's goals in the Champions League, Ibrahimovic has never been able to show convincing performances in the Champions League, especially in the knockout rounds. This is in stark contrast to his publicity before the game."

……

The Mirror believes that the [-]-[-] victory over visiting AC Milan in Manchester will become one of the most memorable games in Manchester City's history because it silenced all those who doubted Manchester City.

Even after Manchester City advanced from the death group, there are still endless doubts about Manchester City. Many people believe that the three opponents in the group stage have their own problems.

Especially in the first round, after Manchester City drew [-]-[-] away with AC Milan, many media ignored the two penalty kicks blown away by Manchester City, directly stating that it is difficult for Manchester City to cross the hurdle of AC Milan.

As a result, at the Etihad Stadium, Manchester City slapped all doubters in the face with a four-to-zero victory.

The Mirror also believes that although he has only joined the team for a year and a half, Su Dong has become the greatest star in Manchester City's history, and there is no need to add another one later. He is also one of the legendary stars in the history of the Premier League.

……

The Daily Mail, with the headline "Su Dong shines in the night sky of Manchester", believes that Manchester City's heroic performance in the Champions League has amazed everyone, especially the battle against AC Milan at the Etihad Stadium. People have witnessed Manchester City's extraordinary offensive football.

"Su Dong shines in the audience, and everyone in the audience can't help but worship him!"

"He made the whole world see the level of a superstar again, and also explained why he can get where he is today. He completely dominated this game!"

……

The Sun even believes that Manchester City has created a classic Champions League game, which can be called one of the classic games of the Premier League team in the Champions League, and will remain in the memory of England fans for a long time.

In this comment, the Sun newspaper, as always, feared that the world would not be chaotic, stepped on Ibrahimovic severely, and almost failed to praise Su Dong, thinking that the Swedish center was completely defeated by Su Dong in this game, and he even did nothing.

"Ibrahimovic had six shots throughout the game and none of them threatened Thibaut Courtois, and at the end of the game, when the team needed him most, he responded by taking the ball over the line and then fouling Javi Martinez because he couldn't contain his anger and was booked."

The Sun believes that Ibrahimovic has not changed his past impatience.

"No one will doubt that the Swedish center has the level of a top superstar, but psychologically and decisively, he still needs to break through himself, and he needs to make himself stronger."

The Sun believes that at this point, Ibrahimovic should learn from his rival Su Dong.

"Especially since joining Manchester City, Su Dong has always played the role of an almost perfect captain, and is also the team's core fighting force. His goals have helped Manchester City to be invincible."

……

After Manchester City defeated AC Milan [-]-[-], almost the whole of the UK sang praises, and all the media praised it, as if they wanted to make Manchester City the banner of the Premier League, which made Manchester City a little flattered.

Su Dong, in particular, received rave reviews.

But Su Dong saw this very clearly.

A very important reason why the media is so supportive is that among the four Premier League teams participating in the Champions League, Manchester United stopped in the group stage.

Both Arsenal and Chelsea played a day later than Manchester City, but the first legs of both teams were away, and both were disastrous.

Chelsea is one to three, Arsenal is zero to four.

It seems that it is difficult for both teams to cross the hurdle of the top sixteen.
