Ancelotti wasn't so stupid and really continued to put Costa Kuta to blow up Manchester United.

Cafu is actually still his first choice, although Cafu at this age, there is no longer the speed of the year, but Cafu's endurance is still leveraged, and there is no problem as the main right-back, but when encountering an opponent with extremely fast speed, he will feel that Cafu is sometimes unreliable.

In fact, in Ancelotti's eyes, the 34-year-old Cafu is still the best right-back in the world, and he can cover the entire right wing. This is evidenced by the fact that almost all authoritative media outlets named Cafu the best right-back in international football after his retirement.

Cafu debuted as a right winger and retreated to a right-back position, but his performance is still world-class, like the first leg against Manchester United by Dong Fangzhuo, which was completely an accident.

Ancelotti's idea now is very simple, he wants Cafu to play, but he doesn't want Cafu to be blown up. After weighing it for a long time, it was flexible.

Returning from injury, Stam played at right-back, while Cafu replaced Kaladze at left-back, which was the perfect way he could think of, and Kaladze had to be sacrificed.

Two hours before the game, the official website of "Milan Sport" praised Carlo Ancelotti's approach, saying that it was a very good practice to use Cafu as a left-back, Cafu was not the first time to play at left-back, and he could play the left-back position.

In Milan's starting line-up, Carlo Ancelotti also made a change, that is, vice-captain Ambrosini replaced Seedorf. Carlo Ancelotti strengthened the hardness of the midfield, and with Seedorf coming off, the midfield would certainly lack a certain amount of creativity, but the impact should not be great, because in addition to Seedorf, Pirlo in the middle and Rui Costa up front can do it.

Ambrosini is in the left midfield position and can also form a solid barrier in front of Cafu.

In the midfield position, Kaka still started.

In the forward line, Crespo, who scored in the last game, is still the first choice, with Inzaghi and Tomasson sitting on the bench, unless Milan want to change the formation to play two strikers, otherwise it will be difficult for these two strikers to get a chance to play.

Milan still dominated the 4321 line-up and the victory allowed Carlo Ancelotti to continue with his way rather than following the advice of owner Berry Sisconi.

Goalkeeper: Dida

Defenders: Stam, Nesta, Maldini, Cafu

Midfielders: Gattuso, Pirlo, Rui Costa, Kaka, Seedorf

Forward: Crespo

Subs: Abbiati, Costacuta, Inzaghi, Tomasson, Ambrosini, Dorazo, Serginho

After Carlo Ancelotti announced his starting line-up, Alex Ferguson also announced his starting line-up.

Goalkeeper: Howard

Defenders: Brown, Rio Ferdinand, Silvestre, Heinze

Midfielders: Cristiano Ronaldo, Kleberson, Scholes, Rooney

Forwards: Ruud van Nistelrooy, Dong Fangzhuo

Subs: Carroll, Phil Neville, Fletcher, Smith, Saha, O'Shea, Fuqiong

Ferguson is still reluctant to Ruud van Nistelrooy after all, for Vanney to change the formation, of course, he will not discard Dong Fangzhuo, and Dong Fangzhuo is still the captain of this game, he is just reluctant to Ruudney's good state, so even Rooney has to make room for Ruudney and has to play left midfield, which Rooney's position is even farther away from Milan's penalty area.

In midfield, Kleberson, who performed well in the first leg, replaced Fletcher. With as many as three strikers on the bench, Smith is more focused on midfield.

As soon as the starting line-up was announced, it was criticised by the BBC broadcast: "Ferguson put China Dong and Ruud van Nistoy together, and the result was only two heads, he should stick with the starting line-up for the first leg against Milan." Ruud van Nistelrooy and China Dong are both in good form, both of them have scored in consecutive games in recent games, but when the two are together, the effect of 1+1 may not be able to >=2. ”

Anyway, whether Ferguson uses Vanney or not, whether he plays 442 or 433, there will be media who will jump out to criticize, and he can't satisfy everyone.

But maybe he also went against his own will?

Away against the mighty Milan, no one knows what the outcome will be, win with meat and lose with pickles, it is certain that Manchester United need at least one goal, 1:0 and 1:1 are acceptable.

※※※※

7 p.m. Milan time.

The 64-year-old walked into the metro station and was crowded in a tin car with thousands of AC Milan fans, but the train never started.

No one knew what time they could drive, and several Milan fan group leaders and station managers were arguing loudly about how to get to San Siro, and they had no idea. At this time, the subway broadcast horn said: "Due to the fault of the line, the train can only reach the first three stations." ”

Crouchen rarely came to Milan, except for a few Champions League games in Milan as a young man, after which he spent his time working between Asia and Africa, far from the heart of the fashion world.

Not to waste time, he immediately walked out of the subway station, dialed the taxi company, and got into the taxi without any problems. It was the rush hour in Milan, and the road to San Siro was as congested with traffic as Beijing's Second Ring Road at 9 a.m. Approaching the San Siro district, the car was already crawling like a snail, and the driver seemed to be muttering to himself: "This kind of congestion was only seen a year ago during the Milan-Inter-Juventus Triangle." ”

"Do you have faith in Milan?" Crowchen asked.

"Why not? It is because everyone has confidence in Milan that the fans are so enthusiastic to come to the scene to support. ”

"In the last round, Manchester United's forward line broke through Milan's goal."

"You're a Manchester United fan, right? Hehe, back at Milan's home stadium, Manchester United's striker won't have any chance at all, Ancelotti has changed formation, I don't think that Chinese kid will have any chance. He's going to be a much stronger stam, and he's going to make it hard for the Chinese kid to move. The driver said confidently.

"I'm not a Manchester United fan," Crawford smiled, then asked: "Honestly, you're really not worried about the Chinese kids?" ”

The driver didn't answer immediately, and in the rearview mirror, Crowchen saw his eyes twitch for a moment, apparently hesitating.

Soon, he replied honestly, "Actually, we are quite worried......"

"Oh......"

"Then why worry about Fanny, but about the Chinese kids?"

"He's fierce, he's fast, he's hardworking. Everyone was worried that they wouldn't be able to bear it. ”

"Oh......"

At 8:10 p.m., Crouchen finally saw the familiar lights in the San Siro stands. A normal 15 euro drive costs a full 40 euros. Outside the stadium, many people drank beer and swore English swearing, and toilet paper wrapped in food and broken glass from beer bottles were all over the floor. In addition to the full house of fans, the stadium was full of security personnel dressed in bright orange clothing.

For English fans accustomed to Old Trafford's Theatre of Dreams, it's tough to come to terms with the filthy and outdated seats of this temple of Italian football, let alone get there, whether by public transport or by car.

Crouchen found his place and sat down, surrounded by Milan fans in red and black swordsmen......
