The rain in Manchester is full of unpredictable unknown surnames!

What looked like a good day just now will be drizzled in the blink of an eye.

Fortunately, the temperature in Manchester in March is not too low, but for teams who are not used to this climate, it is undoubtedly an ordeal to play in Manchester.

But what's even more painful is that I still fall behind in the game!

Ancelotti looked up at the sky, he was huddled in the old Trafford stadium dugout, drizzling outside, standing out in the light, the weather was a little cold, he couldn't help but shrink his hands into his sleeves, exhale, only to feel a white breath coming out of his mouth.

"Fuck, this kind of weather!" Ancelotti scolded.

The staff beside him didn't dare to squeak, and everyone could see that Fat Man An was irritable in his heart.

In fact, he really should be irritable, and anyone who is facing his current situation will definitely be irritable, even the best of those who are well-cultivated.

In this high-profile matchup, AC Milan had done a lot of preparation before the game, and a series of countermeasures against the Red Rebels might have been laid out, but when they got to the pitch, everyone realized that in addition to the Red Rebels showing stronger strength and changes than they expected, there was also this damn weather.

In this first half at Old Trafford, it was definitely arguably the best half of the season for the Red Rebels, with Didier Drogba, Ronaldo, Palacio and Kaka, these four players almost stirred up the AC Milan defense into a pot of gruel, and then they scored three goals in the first half and another in the second half, 4:0!

Oh my God, if someone had predicted it before the game, they would have been laughed at as crazy, but in reality, it really happened.

Carlo Ancelotti made adjustments at half-time and knew that Palacio was very active in the game, so he asked Ambrosini to focus on the somewhat thin looking Argentinian.

Gattuso, Pirlo, Ambrosini, and Ancelotti went up three midfielders at once, which was able to block the Red Rebels' astonishing attack, and at the same time allowed AC Milan to stabilize their position and start to have a decent offensive.

However, the Red Rebels began to consciously retreat at this time, keeping the three lines compact.

"Fuck!" Seeing Shevchenko's shot confiscated by Cech, Ancelotti cursed again.

An Fatzi nestled in the coach's seat throughout the game, and occasionally went out to the sidelines to direct the game, but he felt that the cold rain went directly into his body from the collar, and the feeling was very uncomfortable, and slowly he didn't go out.

On the back three, Ancelotti uses Rui again? Costa replaced the underperforming Rivaldo, leaving Shevchenko and Inzaghi in front, while Cafodo on the right flank stepped forward to match the team's attack.

In this way, AC Milan's attack has improved slightly.

........................'Maybe it was the climate in Manchester that made the slow-burning AC Milan even slower, and they didn't get a more dangerous shot until the 56th minute of the second half, but Shevchenko's shot was denied by Cech! ”

The Red Rebels were definitely a cut above AC Milan in the first half, both offensively and defensively, and with their pressing of the game, the scene was almost one-sided.

Palacio scored two goals down the right and set up Kaka's goal, Ronaldo also had a good goal, David Beckham had two very good assists and a couple of dangerous passes that were not seized by his team-mates.

It can be said that the Red Rebels directed an epic first half, and in the first 50 minutes, they did what no team has been able to accomplish in two years, scoring four goals against the steely AC Milan defence.

'Carlo Ancelotti should reflect on the fact that his team was too slow to get into the game and was beaten by the Red Rebels from the start, which was exposed at the San Siro and almost taken advantage of by the Red Rebels, but now at Old Trafford, this flaw has not been improved, but has been exacerbated, and it has made them suffer.

In addition, from the perspective of the field, it is obvious that AC Milan's backline cannot keep up with the rhythm of the Red Rebels.

"Some people joke that AC Milan is an uncle-level defense, in addition to Nesta, who has just turned 28, is in his playing years, Maldini is 36 years old, Cafu is 34 years old, Pancaro is 33 years old, and there is also a 38-year-old Costa Kuta on the bench.

"On the other hand, the Red Rebels, Didier Drogba is 25 years old, Ronaldo is 18 years old, Palacio is 21 years old, Kaka is 23 years old, they are undoubtedly very young, full of energy and energy, and they are very good at running and linking, which makes them almost sieve the aging back line of AC Milan in the game."

And at this time, Ancelotti's adjustment on the screen once again appeared, Rui? Costa came on in place of Rivaldo.

"It seems that Carlo Ancelotti still wants to break through the Red Rebels when he stabilizes the defence!"

Judging by the scene, Rui? Costa did make a difference in his play, especially in the final pass, where he sent a couple of powerful passes to Shevchenko and Inzaghi in front of him, and both of them were a threat.

This time Big Inzaghi didn't waste Rui? Costa's assist, followed up and made it 4:1!

Jose Mourinho kept protesting with the linesman on the sidelines, signaling that Inzaghi's goal was offside, but the linesman could not doubt that it was a beautiful anti-offside.

The amazing striker, who survived on the offside line, once again penetrated the Red Rebels' goal.

Jose Mourinho walked back with a curse, his expression even more emotional than it was when Inzaghi scored the winning goal at the San Siro two weeks ago, as if the goal had cost him the game.

Soon, though, everyone understood why Mourinho was so excited.

After Inzaghi scored, AC Milan's attack began to change a lot, whether it was Shevchenko or Big Inzaghi, they were the kind of strikers who saw blood and sealed their throats, plus Rui behind him? With passers like Costa and Andrea Pirlo, the Red Rebels' goal became a big hit for a while.

Mourinho did not hesitate this time, and immediately adjusted the team, directly retracting the team's defensive formation to half the court, and no longer giving Shevchenko and Inzaghi too much space to move.

However, in this way, the offensive of the Red rebels was also affected to a certain extent.

But seeing that the time has come to 78 minutes, this game is 4:1, the last game is 0:1, and the total score is 4:2, as long as the Red Rebels do not concede 2 goals, they can basically get the right to advance.

AC Milan obviously realized that their attacking task was arduous, so they launched attacks frequently, but Mourinho left four attacking players in the front court this time, and created pressure on AC Milan through the front court, forcing them not to press the attack easily.

Carlo Ancelotti's side were ultimately unable to find another goal from the Red Rebels, with an aggregate score of 4-2 sending AC Milan out of Manchester with a regret as they reached the last 16 of the UEFA Cup.

..................... "There was no doubt that it was a game worth studying, especially in the first half, when the Red Rebels' front four played almost a classic attacking routine. This is the evaluation given by the football commentators at the end of the game.

"In the game, Ronaldo's position was a little further back, but Palacio was close to AC Milan's Pancaro, which was obviously specially arranged by Mourinho before the game, in order to allow Palacio to make more use of his personal ability on the right side and eat Pancaro one-on-one, in fact, he did it!"

"Xiao Xiaoluo on the left side is in the back, there is enough space to start after taking the ball, his speed is fast, his skills are becoming more and more refined, once started, entering the opponent's penalty area is a threat, including a fall in the penalty area in the first half, and was shown a yellow card by the referee, indicating that he was faking a fall, but from the slow motion, he was indeed pulled down by Maldini, it should be a penalty."

In addition, in this game, Kaka was inserted in the back row of the middle, which was a great threat, and at the same time, AC Milan had to be worried all the time, worried that they didn't know when Kaka would suddenly go crazy.

"The Red Rebels' attacking combination of four players in the front line, in terms of height, width and depth, was impeccable, and with their skillful combination, they were able to completely score the AC Milan goal in the first 50 minutes, a feat that many teams cannot accomplish!"

"But the most surprising thing for me was David Beckham, a player who worked hard throughout the game, who didn't perform well in the team's attack, but his role was very obvious, a long-range shot almost penetrated Dida's goal, but in the second half, when it came to defense, he was very diligent, always stuck in front of the defence, and also contributed a number of key interceptions and destructions, he really showed a comprehensive and core ability that the Red Rebels did not have during his time at Manchester United."

"Of course, in addition to these, what impresses me the most is that the Red Rebels are more dependent on the whole in both attack and defense, but AC Milan seems to be a bit disjointed in attack and defense, especially in the first half, the frontcourt players are almost not involved in the defense, which allows the Red Rebels to easily adjust in the backfield."

Palacio was voted Man of the Match through the post-match ratings, and the Red Rebels' starting 11 all received high scores, but AC Milan generally failed, and the only one who passed was Inzaghi, who scored a goal.

…………………… After the Red Rebels beat AC Milan, the other teams in the last eight of the UEFA Cup also came out on top: Barcelona, Roma, Juventus, Bayern Munich, Liverpool, Inter Milan and Valencia.

For these teams, the Red Rebels will have a lot of headaches against any of them, because even Roma, under Capello's coaching this season, has played attacking football, and this team is currently the most attacking of all teams in Europe.

Looking at the top 8 of the League Cup, the Red Rebels are undoubtedly the weakest among these teams, but what is the strength, after the showdown with AC Milan, I believe that no one will ignore such a rapidly rising opponent.

When Mourinho was interviewed by the media in Manchester, Mourinho smiled and said that it didn't matter who the Red Rebels would most like to meet in the last eight knockout rounds.

"No matter who our opponent is, I won't predict the outcome of the game that hasn't started yet, but the only thing I'm sure of is that they won't want to touch us, because all the opponents who have touched us have already been eliminated by us, so let's see who is the next unlucky guy!"

For Mourinho's words, the whole team expressed their support, although in the league, Manchester United and Arsenal have caught up, but the team still maintains a strong confidence, firmly believe that in any difficult situation, can defeat the opponent!

At the same time, each and every one of them brought this perseverance to the court!

And when the team was struggling to support the two fronts, Xiao Yu ushered in another important moment in his life!
