Chapter 271 This Efficiency...is Too Low!

AC Milan attaches great importance to the UEFA Champions League, and domestic league competition is also under pressure, but for AC Milan, getting good results in the Champions League is more important, because it involves the club's financial problems.

Many people think that AC Milan is the team of Berlusconi, the Italian prime minister and the richest man in Italy, so there is no need to worry about the club's financial problems.

But it is not so.

Berlusconi is a legend in Italy. He bought the AC Milan club in 1986. At that time, AC Milan really didn't have to worry about funds.

But as Berlusconi stepped into the political arena, most of the club's football affairs were handed over to the vice-chairman Galliani to manage, and his main energy was placed on domestic politics.

In January 1994, Berlusconi entered the political arena, founded the Forza Italia Party, and served as the party chairman. In March of the same year, Berlusconi united other center-right political parties to win the 1th parliamentary election, and formed the 3rd post-war Italian party in May. government and Prime Minister.

In January 1995, Berlusconi resigned.

In April 1996, the center-right alliance led by Berlusconi became the second largest party in the parliamentary elections. In May 4, he won the election again. In June, he became the prime minister of the 2001th post-war government.

It can be seen from Berlusconi's ruling experience that his ruling stage has always been unstable, otherwise he would not have resigned midway.

At present, the Berlusconi government in Italy is also in crisis. He only has the support of the wealthy Italian class, while the vast majority of the poor class resisted.

For this reason, Berlusconi was so devastated that he had no intention of managing the AC Milan club anymore.

The finances of the AC Milan club have also been in a state of loss. In recent years, Galliani has been seeking ways to make the club profitable, but the Italian football system is backward, and most small clubs have been unable to operate. It can only be maintained by continuous investment.

AC Milan's situation is even worse.

Many English teams participate in the UEFA Champions League for the sake of honor, and bonuses are incidental. The representative of them is Chelsea. Even Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool and other teams have begun to turn losses in the environment of the Premier League. For profit, the situation is much stronger than the Italian team.

Comparing AC Milan and Manchester United, Manchester United is currently the most profitable club in the world, while AC Milan has been in a state of loss for a long time.

Comparing the two sides, one can imagine who pays more attention to the UEFA Champions League, which can generate high bonuses.

Of course, no club will struggle with money, and both sides will work hard to compete for honor, but there is no doubt that the Champions League is more important to AC Milan.

AC Milan is also very confident about the game.

Although the Premier League has developed rapidly in recent years, it is only financial. In terms of the strength of the top teams, it is still somewhat inferior to Serie A.

Ancelotti thinks so too.

As a head coach, you can’t be careless in any game, especially against the Premier League’s top Manchester United. Ancelotti has always emphasized the strength of Manchester United before the game, asking the whole team to pay more attention to defense in order to stabilize The style of play to complete the first round of the two sides.

But no matter how much he overestimated Manlai, Ancelotti never expected to see such a scene: Manchester United is playing against AC Milan!
If Manchester United adopted a 'full attack' style of play and attacked AC Milan in the half court recklessly, it would be acceptable, but Manchester United obviously had room to spare. It was only initiated by the frontcourt players.

In this case, Manchester United completely suppressed AC Milan?

how could it be possible!
Ancelotti's brows were tightly frowned, and he found that he couldn't understand the game.

Why did Manchester United play so well?

----

Manchester United coach Ferguson also found the problem.

Ferguson has always been worried about the game. It can be said that he started to worry when he was drawn to AC Milan. Ferguson has always believed in the strength of Manchester United, but that was only in front of the public media, and he still had a certain judgment in his heart.

In Ferguson's view, Manchester United's chances of defeating AC Milan and qualifying for the Champions League quarter-finals are no more than [-]%.

This is still overrated!

AC Milan's strength is very strong, and the most outstanding part is the back line, not to mention the defense. The triangle combination of striker Shevchenko and Inzagika Kaka can throw away Manchester United's striker by a few blocks.

This is true for the weaker strikers, so need to say more about the strong defense?As some media have discussed, whether Manchester United can beat AC Milan fans in the two rounds is a big question.

But the current game is not like that.

Manchester United played great!

Manchester United's smooth cooperation in the frontcourt surprised Ferguson very much. He didn't understand why the team played so smoothly. Could it be an illusion deliberately created by AC Milan?
Probably not...

Ferguson watched the game and kept thinking.

But when he saw the team's smooth coordination for the third time and threatened the AC Milan goal, and the football was only higher than the crossbar and flew out of the baseline, Ferguson had a definite answer: the players played too well!

"Just fight like this! Be more resolute! You almost got in just now!"

Mike Phelan was very excited to watch the game.

Ferguson said with a smile, "It seems that our players are in good condition."

"Is this the effect of 'state training'?" Mike Phelan was a little uncertain.

Ferguson thought about it, and said vaguely, "Maybe."

In the auditorium, Manchester United fans were also quite excited.

Manchester United is one of the top teams in the world, but when playing against AC Milan, the fans also have certain judgment in their hearts-Manchester United is not necessarily the opponent of AC Milan!
But the game was not like this. Manchester United played very well from the beginning and completely suppressed AC Milan.

This unexpected situation has made Manchester United fans very excited. They don't think about reasons like 'why', they just amplify the cheering and cheering, hoping that the team can perform better.

"Manchester United! Come on!"

"Man United! United! United!"

"Goal! Goal!"

The auditorium was occupied by various slogans.

As the game continued, the Manchester United players ran more actively, fought more actively, and the game became more active. They also passed and finally confirmed one thing-now it is not AC Milan who deliberately waterproofs, or creates traps And so on, it is entirely because their team performed well, suppressing AC Milan, making them unable to play at all.

With this judgment, the Manchester United players became more proactive.

AC Milan has also become more passive.

At the same time, a problem also emerged: from the beginning of the game to now, Manchester United has been suppressing the situation, creating five shot opportunities, and only one shot within the range of the goal frame.

This efficiency...is too low!

The two strikers, Solskjaer and Rooney's performance in front of the goal are not very good!
