Chapter 1093: Pinnacle

The Champions League final is about to start. On the stadium stands, the fans of both sides are enthusiastic. The fans are naturally very excited about the "first in history". Even if the AC Milan League just failed to defend the title, this will not affect their desire for the Champions League!
The players from both sides lined up and the opening ceremony of this special significance of the Champions League final will be a little more tedious, and it is also a battle that UEFA uses to make the signboard.
This is likely to be a classic battle in history!
"The 2004-2005 UEFA Champions League final is about to start. The two teams that entered the final are the absolute top teams in UEFA today. The five-time Champions League Millwall challenged the six-time Champions League AC Milan! If AC Milan can win, Will become the unprecedented Champions League seven champion, if Millwall wins, huh, huh, the history of the Champions League will appear magnificent! Millwall, AC Milan, Real Madrid, won the Champions League with six times and tied the Champions League history First! This year happens to be the 50th anniversary of the UEFA Champions League. For half a century, AC Milan and Real Madrid have been important players in the history of the Champions League. Now, Millwall has become the Champions League. An important role that cannot be ignored in history, and they did it in less than 10 years!"
"The opening ceremony is about to be completed. Let us introduce the starting lineup of both parties.
Millwall 433.
Goalkeeper: Bute.
Defenders: Schneider, Nesta, Thiago Silva, Ram.
Midfielders: De Rossi, Alonso, Kaka.
Forwards: Villa, Henry, Ronaldinho.
AC Milan 442.
Goalkeeper: Dida.
Defenders: Cafu, Stam, Maldini, Karaze.
Midfielders: Gattuso, Pirlo, Seedorf, Rui Costa.
Forwards: Shevchenko, Crespo.
It is worth mentioning that no matter who wins the two teams, there will be a personal honor for the Champions League players to be tied!
Millwall, Bout, Schneider, Nedved, Larsen on the bench, they have won the Champions League five times, if Millwall wins, they will tie Gento’s 6 Cup holding record!
On the side of AC Milan, Pirlo also has 5 Champions League championship records, 4 of which were won with Millwall. If AC Milan wins, Pirlo will also tie Gento’s cup record, only one championship away from the new record. !
There is no doubt that the above mentioned players are already legendary players in the history of the Champions League. Whether they can break the record of Gento, they will be important historical figures in the history of the Champions League for a long time in the future, er , This sentence may be said a bit early, because Pirlo was just 26 years old. "
Aldridge looked at AC Milan's starting lineup on the sidelines, and it should be said that there was not much surprise.
In other words, AC Milan is considered to be the closest to Millwall’s strength, because it is only compared to the main lineup, but if Millwall and AC Milan are competing in the same league, if they are competitive, Then the gap between Millwall and AC Milan will be very obvious, because the thickness of AC Milan's lineup is not enough to allow their overall strength to be compared with Millwall.
But in a 90-minute or 120-minute game, as long as you play the best hand, the overall gap will not be too obvious.
AC Milan here is a little bit inferior to the same period.
Because there is no Nesta in the back line, and there is no Kaka in the front waist position.
But the situation should also be viewed rationally.
It is difficult to say that Kaka and Rui Costa at this time, Kaka will definitely win.
It’s just that Rui Costa is 33 years old after all, and Kaka is rising in the sun, representing the future. When using people to match the team’s long-term construction, it is natural to look at the future, so Nedved is placed on the bench by Aldridge. On the top, Fukaka is not superior, but Nedved is not as strong as Kaka, but he looks at the reality rationally. Nedved can only play the heat in the future, he can no longer give Millwall a golden decade, or even the peak. Five or three years is impossible.
If AC Milan will give Audridge any surprise, it will definitely be on the front line, at least the AC Milan reserve is still abundant on the front line, Thomason, Inzaghi, Shevchenko, Crespo.
It's a pity that Inzaghi recovered from his injury for a long time and performed mediocre in the battle of the Heavenly King Mountain and Juventus. It is reasonable and reasonable not to get the starting position today.
The battle of the strongest peak, first of all, you must not make mistakes yourself!
The players on both sides of the field also knew this well. Before the kick-off, the two sides looked at the other half, and the killing breath came out!
AC Milan are not deliberately shifting their focus and sacrificing the league for the Champions League, because in the battle for the championship with Juventus, they have not yet reached the finals, and Juventus did not finish the Champions League semi-finals.
It can only be said that the key battles have been lost and the situation has changed dramatically.
But from another perspective, if AC Milan wins the battle of Uranus in San Siro, they may not be able to come to Istanbul with the current full-fledged attitude, because Juventus are out of the Champions League and AC Milan cannot be forced in the league. Make any mistakes.
After removing the burden of the league, in fact the loss of the league was also doomed in the previous round of the game, so the league four days ago was just to kill the suspense in advance, kind of like a self-end, after all, I hope Juventus The crash was too unrealistic.
AC Milan, who has no worries, is very serious and full of preparations for this game. Perhaps he is physically backward to Millwall, but his mentality and psychological preparation will never fall behind.
Ancelotti was expressionless on the sidelines.
The whole world does not know how to deal with Millwall.
Even if the world is studying Millwall.
To restrain Millwall is nothing more than to proceed in two ways, the first is to restrict!
As much as Chelsea does to limit it, but Chelsea has become a lesson for other teams to do like this.
AC Milan is not Chelsea, nor does it have the staffing characteristics of Chelsea, so naturally it is impossible to go this way.
Then there is only another way left, that is suppression!
But it is too difficult to suppress Millwall.
In this regard, players must be required to play exceptionally.
Ancelotti still prepared a set of tactics against Millwall.
Success or failure, only know after playing!
Speaking of Istanbul Night in 2005, most people will definitely remember the momentum after the opening of AC Milan, killing the Quartet!
But in fact, after today's game started, both teams on the court were a bit conservative, seemingly cautious, but actually safe, avoiding excessive excitement or slow fever.
Millwall is not Liverpool in the original history, AC Milan will not put themselves in a high-profile position, on the contrary, they should be low-key, low-key, lower-key!
In such a peak battle, not only the player's state needs to be excited, but also the rhythm of the team's 11 people is synchronized to play at the same pace. Otherwise, it will lay hidden dangers for the game. This is exactly after the opening of the two parties. Conservative reasons.
Too excited is not good, too much excitement is an unbalanced state of mind!
In the first 10 minutes, Millwall and AC Milan played a step-by-step attack, and there were no particularly exciting scenes. The players of both teams were finding the rhythm of the whole team, focusing on the core players and keeping pace. ,Into the role.
In the 12th minute of the game, Millwall took the lead!
The core of Millwall's offensive is of course Ronaldinho. When he begins to break out, such as taking the initiative, accelerating the breakthrough with the ball, etc., it is a signal on the field!
Ronaldinho pulled back very deep this time to take the ball. He slowly returned to the midfield, receiving Alonso's pass, stopping the ball and passing the ball is an action, and the ball that rolled over suddenly flicked forward. Rui Costa rolled between his legs, Ronaldinho broke out and started after touching the ball, Rui Costa turned and was directly overtaken by Ronaldinho!
At this moment, Millwall's offensive offensive broke out!
Gattuso and Pirlo are approaching the enemy, quickly retreating!
Yes, the two lower backs did not go up.
Going to the top is to die!
AC Milan's back line quickly retreated, and Gattuso stood in front of the big penalty area line!
Pirlo is preparing to intercept in the area in front of him. He will not take the initiative to snatch, just wait for the other party to come over to intercept, and cooperate with Gattuso to intercept!
One thing that must be taken care of is that the back line of AC Milan is too old!
Cafu, will be 35 years old next month.
Stam, there will be 33 days in 50 days.
Maldini, 37 years old a month later!
Karaze is at the golden age, 27 years old, but he is a full-back!
So the space in the restricted area cannot be given to Millwall!
Not even a little bit.
This is the reason for the rapid withdrawal of the AC Milan defense.
If you really lose your position and go to make up, can you make up? Is there any chance to make up?
Ronaldinho took the ball all the way forward, as if entering a land of no one!
There are two points parallel to his forward impact, Kaka on the right, and Ram on the left.
There are two points ahead, Henry and Villa.
Behind Ronaldinho, Alonso followed.
The aggressive Millwall boldly "invades" AC Milan's territory!
On the road with the ball, Ronaldinho is observing the opponent's defensive battle. The magician on this court is also an excellent organizer. He has in his mind how to contain and tear the AC Milan defense line.
In order to prevent Cafu from earning in the penalty area and strengthening the defense in the penalty area, Ronaldinho passed the ball when he came to Pirlo and passed it to Ram on the left!
The response point from Ram highlights the offensive threat on the left, forcing Cafu not to return to the restricted area!
When Ram brought the ball forward to a parallel position on the line of the penalty area, he then passed the ball horizontally, which seemed to be passed back to Ronaldinho.
Ronaldinho is now physically opposed to Pirlo. The ball is in the back position. Pirlo cannot steal unless Ronaldinho's physical confrontation is released. For security reasons, Pirlo did not do so.
When the ball rolled over, Ronaldinho suddenly missed the ball, he did not touch the ball!
Pirlo's pupils shrank, but he didn't expect Ronaldinho to miss the ball!
And Ronaldinho's thoughts in his mind at the moment: Andrea, organizational skills, you are a master, one-on-one defense, how can you stop me?
When thinking of this, Ronaldinho quickly ran out of position after missing the ball and ran diagonally from Pirlo to the right front!
The leaked ball was obtained by Kaka, AC Milan's backline, the alarm sounded, and Gattuso's scalp numb!
