Chapter three hundred and sixty-two The only representative of Italian football
There were many matches in the Champions League quarter-finals, so we played for two weeks.
First of all, this week, there are four Champions League quarter-finals.
There will be four more next week.
Lazio, as the defending champion, will only play next week.
This week, there are two other Serie A teams, AC Milan and Inter Milan.
Milan duo appeared at the same time.
AC Milan’s away game against Tottenham Hotspur made many people feel no suspense.
Although Tottenham Hotspur finally reached the knockout stage as the second place in Lazio’s group, their opponent was experienced AC Milan. Although AC Milan beat Lazio in the domestic League Cup, it is no problem for them to go out and teach other teams a lesson.
Especially Tottenham Hotspur, the team that entered the Champions League for the first time in more than 40 years, it is no different from bullying newcomers.
After AC Milan won Tottenham Hotspur, many AC Milan fans or commentators were very optimistic about AC Milan’s promotion to the quarter-finals.
Because in terms of strength and experience, AC Milan is dominant.
Tottenham Hotspur’s lack of experience is their biggest weakness.
As the second team in the group, the schedule is not good for them.
Playing at home first and then playing away from home means that you have to adjust your state to the best in the first round and try to kill the suspense of two rounds at home.
The problem of playing at home before playing away is that once you have an accident at home, you will be cornered. Only in the second round, you will go away and fight your opponent to death.
This is the problem of Tottenham Hotspur.
So everyone is optimistic that AC Milan will advance.
Their performance in the group stage was quite good, with the same points as Real Madrid, and they beat Real Madrid in the relationship of victory and defeat, ranking first in the group. This is the outstanding performance of last season, which made allegri win the favor and support of Milan’s top management.
AC Milan’s away game against Tottenham Hotspur is also the first game of the Champions League quarter-finals this season.
There was no suspense in this game. Although it is away, everyone believes that AC Milan can win.
Even if you can’t win, it’s still a draw.
Moreover, AC Milan will definitely score goals. If there are a few away goals in hand, Tottenham Hotspur will be in a "cornered" situation.
At that time, AC Milan will eliminate Tottenham Hotspur at their own home.
But the final result is surprising!
Tottenham Hotspur, who played at home, beat AC Milan 2-0 with a header from Gill and a solo ride from Bell!
The first Champions League quarter-final was an upset!
Originally Nesta decided to turn to Lazio at the end of the season, which was a blow to the team’s morale. Now he was defeated by Tottenham Hotspur by two goals away.
Before the game, everyone thought that the only suspense in the game was how many goals AC Milan could win away from home.
If we can beat Tottenham Hotspur by a big score away from home, we can completely kill the suspense of the second leg in the first leg.
So AC Milan launched a fierce attack on Tottenham Hotspur’s goal at the beginning of the game, wave after wave.
Then their riddled defense line was completely blown up by Bell and Lennon.
The two men used their speed to break through the defence of AC Milan. Because of Nesta’s injury, there is only one thiago silva in the central defender position.
However, in the face of powerful center Gill, it can’t get the upper hand.
When Gill was still in Lazio, he played against thiago silva of AC Milan.
His way to deal with Silva is very simple, that is, using his own body, which is unreasonable, but the effect is very good. This used to be what Changsheng asked him to do.
Finally, he scored a header in the game.
There is no fluke for AC Milan to fail in this game. Judging from the scene, if it weren’t for their luck, they wouldn’t have lost only two goals.
This is especially true for Bell’s fumble.
Tottenham Hotspur hit AC Milan for a quick counterattack when AC Milan wanted to attack and score goals in a big way.
Bell started to take the ball from the middle and back court and rushed forward with the ball.
The speed broke through all the AC Milan players who came up to defend him.
Especially in the front of the restricted area, he broke through thiago silva by speed, and then sent the football into the goal guarded by abbiati.
None of the players in AC Milan touched the ball during the whole process.
Bell simply made a vigorous trip to the ball and then chased it. With such a simple breakthrough, the whole defense line of AC Milan was settled.
The failure of this game seems to make many AC Milan fans more unhappy with allegri.
There are voices calling for allegri to leave class.
But this time, Galliani chose to stand on allegri’s side.
