Vol 4 Chapter 194: Competition for Heroes (4)

AC Milan is the Serie A team in the last four seasons, the best team in the Champions League, not only won the last championship last season, but also played in the semi-finals for four consecutive seasons without losing. This season's performance is equally outstanding, especially in San Siro, beating Bayern and Lyon with two 3: 1. Since the group stage of the 0304 season, the Champions League has not lost at home. Even if that season was too arrogant, and the result was defeated by Laco away, but Milan is still proud at home.
Judging from the media's predictions before the game, half predicted that the Milanese will beat Chelsea at home 2-1, and the other half predicted that the two sides will draw 1: 1. Home advantage and strong staffing are the prerequisites for predicting Milan's victory, but at the same time, the solidity of the Chelsea side's defense is still awesome, and the attacking line of Wang Ai, especially Wang Ai, cannot be ignored.
In addition, there is only one thing that is not good for Chelsea, that is, Jose and Chelsea have never won the Champions League. The league ’s prerequisites are a long-term accumulation of strength, which is a test of the club ’s transfer investment funds, but the cup is not the same. It also tests the head coach's preparation and on-site command. In this regard, Ancelotti and Milan are more experienced than Chelsea.
In terms of personnel, the Milanese are a little bit worse. The Milanese were absent from a general before and after the court. Inzaghi was unable to play in the frontcourt. Maltigny, the core of the backcourt, was still recovering a little. On the Chelsea side, central defender Kaval was slightly injured, and Hutt was in a poor state. He could only temporarily adjust Galas, who was highly sought after for this position. So relatively speaking, Chelsea is better.
Both sides can be regarded as All-Star teams. In terms of transfer fees, the 22 players played by the two teams add up to 600 million Euros. Converted into RMB is a 6 billion RMB fight. This is a super luxurious game. Most World Cup matches are really incomparable.
In the evening of the 18th, the Chelsea people had dinner and concentrated at the hotel entrance. They boarded the bus in turn and set off for San Siro. The family members who came with the team have already gone on their own, sitting with hundreds of Chelsea fans from the expedition, not only forming a small settlement cheering for the party on the stand, but also protecting the family members.
The atmosphere on the bus was a bit dull, and many teammates wore headphones to listen to music to adjust their mood. Teammates who have never touched the UEFA Champions League are in a dignified mood. Wang Ai stopped Jose from playing in the UEFA Cup in Tubingen and blocked Lazio from playing in the UEFA Champions League. As a result, Chelsea has scored In the team, not only was Jose empty-handed in European competitions, but only Wang Ai held a Champions League medal in his hand, and the others were all white.
The closer to the final trophy, the more embarrassing people are, the pride and self-confidence of the past are replaced by doubt. In this regard, Jose can't really reverse it no matter how hard he tries, which is incomparable with Ancelotti's Milanese sitting firmly on the fishing platform.
At eight o'clock in the evening, Chelsea arrived in San Siro, then changed clothes and shoes, went out and the Milanese warmed up each half. At this time, although there was still nearly an hour before the start of the match, San Siro was fully seated. The stadium was playing all kinds of messy popular songs, and the fans were chatting and thinking about themselves. Unless some warm-up star makes some wonderful action. But most of the time, the stars are just simple activities.
After half an hour, the two sides ended up warming up and returned to the locker room at the same time, making their final tactical arrangements and final physical and psychological adjustments. Unlike the Milanese who didn't close the door and kept laughing, Chelsea in the visiting team's locker room only occasionally chuckled.
A few minutes later, the two sides lined up out of the locker room, looking at each other with serious expressions in front. Accompanied by the little caddy, facing the light and noise of San Siro, he officially appeared.
On the Milan side, goalkeeper Dida, four defenders Stam, Nesta, Carazze, Serginho, three midfielders Gattuso, Pirlo, Seedorf, three frontcourts, Kaka, Gila Dino and Shevchenko. Among them, Shevchenko is the captain.
Chelsea side, goalkeeper Cech, four defenders, Grammy, Gallas, Terry, Del Horno; five midfielders, Makelele, Lampard, Wang Ai, Robben, Duff, a forward, Drogba.
From the stand point of view, AC Milan has a more balanced offense and defense, and a more determined attack point in the frontcourt. After all, it is a double forward plus a shadow forward Kaka configuration. The attacking systems of these two powerful front waists are an inverted triangle and a positive triangle. The Milanese have a strong mid lane and Chelsea have a strong side lane.
On the whole, Milan ’s formation has not changed much, while Chelsea has moved the attack system forward, oppressing the lines of Seedorf and Gattuso, with the intention of suppressing Seedorf ’s long-range ability, using Wang Ai and Rampa Germany's attacking force separated the Milan's front and back, and then two extremely fast wingers weakened Gattuso's ability to intercept in the middle.
In exchange for an increase in attack power, Jose chose between the Makelele and Essien, who was more defensive, and Essin, who used to add assists and even goals, remained on the bench. In other words, this formation of Jose's platoon formation is to condense Chelsea's overall undulating attack system from the back to the forward to the frontcourt, specifically Wang Ai, Lampard, Drogba, Among them, the intention of using Wang Ai's AC Milan experience and using Wang Ai's Champions League experience is very obvious.
Makelele's presence also means that from the back of his Chelsea defensive system, in addition to setting the ball, he basically no longer moves forward and is at ease defending.
This is a set of platoon formation ideas that are very aggressive and utilitarian. On the one hand, the hope of scoring was suppressed on the attacking system led by Wang Aiyin, and he chose to trust the player's personal ability to impact the Milan's solid defense. .
In addition to Wang Ai, the team must participate in defense. Individually, especially when launching a quick counterattack, Wang Ai's position inevitably became the forward and became the only point of contact in the frontcourt.
Through the pre-war preparation meeting, the entire Chelsea team has understood how to deal with various situations in this game. To be honest, the defense has changed little, but the attack system has changed dramatically.
Who is going to make a laugh tonight in the steady mountain of Milan, Chelsea, who is in danger?
