Chapter 552 The Blue Moon Sinks
"Drip, drip, drip!"
When 90 minutes passed, Pellegrini no longer had the handsome demeanor, but was only angry and embarrassed.
The visiting coach Allegri, who was a few meters away from him, was flushed.
"Manchester City are a strong team, but they lack the experience of the Champions League and we showed our quality well."
At the press conference after the game, Ah Jiong said happily:
"Although it is not 100% sure, I am very confident to lead the team to complete the task of promotion."
The reporters in the audience pouted one after another:
If winning an away game with six goals doesn't make you "very confident", then this coach should really be pushed out and shot!
That's right, AC Milan swept the Premier League upstart Manchester City 6-0 away! -
"This score... is really embarrassing. I will not comment on the referee's decision on Demichelis' red card and penalty kick, because that foul was really stupid. The responsibility for the loss lies in my mistake in the situation Judgment, I made a mistake from the starting lineup..."
Pellegrini spoke slowly:
"Our defensive line was too loose, we didn't press enough for the opponent, the back line was too early, and the opponent's frontcourt players got a lot of chances for offside... But in the final analysis, it was because we didn't limit their core well. Player, by the time we want to limit him, it's too late..."
For the victory over Manchester City, Long Shute was not surprised at all.
But he was not expecting to be able to win six goals in a row in the away game so easily.
For Manchester City, who are playing at home against their opponents, they conceded two goals in the first 20 minutes, and the second goal was an own goal made by their own defenders. This not only severely damaged morale, but also forced them to attack aggressively.
Once Manchester City chooses to attack, it completely falls into the rhythm of Milan's side.
The three fast horses of Longshute, Kaka, and Shalawi smashed Blue Moon's midfield to pieces. Coupled with Balotelli's technology, the 31-year-old Toure, the 29-year-old Clichy and Sabale Tata and the 28-year-old Kompany may still be able to keep up with their rhythm, but the 34-year-old Demichelis was completely dragged down by Milan's counterattack and could only use it once at the end of the first half. The desperate foul earned him a red card.
When Manchester City needed to score, they lost a defender, which completely broke Pellegrini!
In this game, the main forwards Aguero and Dzeko were unable to play. Negredo alone was unable to break through AC Milan's defense. Silva, known as the "frontcourt magician", disappeared under De Jong's fierce defense. Lu's Navas and Kolarov were under the influence of their mentality... they couldn't even defeat Abate and Emmanuel Sen one-on-one!
And what about Long Shute?
After Yaya Toure insisted on pressing Long Shute for 20 minutes in the first half, he discovered a fact that discouraged him: if he did not resort to rough fouls, it would be difficult for him to stop Long Shute. If violent fouls are used, the Manchester City team cannot afford to lose one more player.
After figuring this out, Toure gradually resumed the "big health-care style of play" he had become accustomed to in the Premier League - anyway, if he couldn't play, why did he have to work so hard?
Anyway... I'm just an African midfielder, do I still want to win the Golden Globe?
Anyway... compared to the previous seasons, being able to enter the knockout stage this year is already a great breakthrough. Even if you lose to AC Milan, it's not a shame, right?
After all... AC Milan is the second most successful super giant in the history of the Champions League! -
If Manchester City showed a desire to win in the first half, then they were almost dealing with errands in the second half.
They are still the criticized nouveau riche and mercenary, and there is still a long way to go before becoming the emerging giant that is eager for victory.
It seems not surprising that such a team of Manchester City was sieved by the vigorous AC Milan!
Long Shute made three shots and one pass, Kaka and Balotelli passed shots respectively, and even Shalawi contributed two assists. Milan's four players in the frontcourt led the team to a perfect victory. The most critical critic can only say one thing:
"Oh, Balotelli's scoop penalty kick was too risky! It was almost thrown by Joe Hart!"
-
AC Milan swept Manchester City with six goals in an away game. Although this result shocked European football a little, it did not make everyone regard Milan as the biggest favorite to win the championship.
At least those gambling companies with countless professional probability calculation personnel did not immediately adjust them to the first odds.
The number one favorite to win the championship is still Bayern Munich. Although everyone believes that UEFA is absolutely impossible to tolerate a team winning the Champions League trophy for three consecutive years, the defending champion + the world's first coach Pep Guardiola + all positions are The combination of top players still keeps Bayern's enthusiasm high.
Ranked second and third are Real Madrid under Carlo Ancelotti and Chelsea under Jose Mourinho for the second time.
An Pang and Magic Bird are both the top coaches in today's football, and they are also called "Champions League experts". Losing to Bayern Munich in the 2012 final made them even more eager for the Champions League trophy...
As for AC Milan, the critics will say:
"Manchester City is an upstart. In the first two seasons, it was very difficult to qualify for the group stage. Beating them can't explain any problems!"
"Only by defeating Bayern, Real Madrid, and Barcelona can we prove that AC Milan is a top club today!"
"What? Barcelona has been killed long ago? It means that Barcelona is nothing more than that, and only Bayern and Real Madrid are the top giants in the dream team!"
-
AC Milan, who returned to Italy with a big victory, went away to usher in the 25th round of the league three days later.
During the one-week double match period, Allegri also carried out a substantial rotation of the starting lineup. After all, there are indeed a lot of veterans in Milan's 30s.
He has changed everything from striker to goalkeeper. Players who joined during the winter break, such as Rami and Essien, also got the chance to start. Ah Jiong is even ready to lose here.
Winning streak?
Go to hell!
As a head coach, he doesn't take this insignificant record too seriously. He pays more attention to the overall state of the team, the atmosphere in the locker room, and the health of the players...
That's why he couldn't wait to let Kaka, Shalawi and others rest, they didn't even enter the big list.
After all, Milan has a seven-point lead over Juventus, and they still have a chance to make mistakes.
But Milan's substitutes did not waste this opportunity to make a mistake. De Sciglio assisted Pacini to open the scoring. As a defender, Rami used an elegant heavy artillery to expand the score. Squeeze the home team's possession rate below 40%.
Long Shute sat on the bench and watched the 75th minute, and finally patted his butt, giving up the idea of playing to score points.
This season, he has played 25 rounds in the league, and he has already played 22 games. For him, this is already a very high attendance rate.
Whether in Ajax or Bayern Munich, due to national team competitions, injuries, rotations and other factors, he only plays about 25 games in the league every season.
After all, the level of the Eredivisie league was too low. At that time, Ajax was able to cope with it, and Bayern Munich had a deep bench. Vice-captain Schweinsteiger was almost squeezed out of the main position. AC Milan obviously did not have such conditions.
Therefore, this season's Long Shute is also working very hard. As long as it is a slightly unsure game, he will definitely play his part.
The stronger the ability, the more earned, the greater the natural responsibility.
If AC Milan loses, those critics will not criticize Kaka and Balotelli, but will definitely target themselves in the first place!
Who made you number one in the world?
Who made you the Golden Globe Triple Champion?
Who made you the only superstar worth over [-] million in football history?
Who made his annual salary equal to the sum of other teammates?
And... you're still a Chinese...
If you don't spray you, who will you spray?
