This may have something to do with Ancelotti's personality, he is very tolerant of the players, especially after Ancelotti and Jonker, he realized that this young man may have a more perverse personality, but the attitude towards games and training is absolutely not to say, this is the most basic, which is what the manager values the most. As for the rest, Ancelotti gradually touched Jonker's pulse, and you can just think of him as a young man who likes to play pranks sometimes, although sometimes the pranks are a bit excessive. However, none of this is an insurmountable difficulty.

Therefore, Ancelotti does not have a tough attitude towards Jonker, but he says when he should say it, and reprimands him when he should reprimand. When it is time to praise, he praises and occasionally invites Jonker to his home as a guest, which shows Ancelotti's attitude, at work, he does what he wants, and in private he regards Jonk as a junior. This kind of thing may seem a little surprising to outsiders, or if you think about it, it's very old-fashioned, but Jonk eats this one. After a season, there is no friction between master and apprentice, but it is good.

And Berlusconi and Jonk are more serious, in Mendes's opinion, it is a bit excessive. As for it. Of course, Mendes also knows that the aristocratic Milan that Pei hopes to create, Jonker's perverse personality, and his grassroots background are disliked by Pei, which is inevitable, and if there is no Kaka, Jonke's scoring ability and Junk's strength may be able to win the core position for Jonker, but with Kaka, the Brazilian golden boy who is almost 'the most perfect example of professional players', in Pei's eyes, who is suitable to be the core and who is the first flag star promoted by the team, it is obvious. Jonker: That's not to say that Jonk is inferior to Kaka. It mainly depends on the preferences of the big bosses.

However, Mendes also believes that Berlusconi is absolutely clear about the identity behind Jonker, which is deliberately turning a blind eye. Perhaps the reason why those political figures are unwilling to be in the company of some forces, the director is not appreciated by the big bosses in Milan, but is somewhat targeted.

Although Jonker has not revealed that he wants to leave AC Milan, Mendes, as an agent, must consider all possibilities and plan ahead.

Just now, Mendes suddenly said that Mourinho may want Jork to go to Inter Milan. It was also a temptation to see Jonker's attitude.

Now it seems that Jonk may not have any intention of leaving Milan. However, it doesn't seem to be as repulsive as it used to be.

Could it be that this kid also realized that even if he was capable of everything, it was unlikely to be the big boss's dish?

At this time. In the stands at the San Siro Stadium. There was a burst of cheers, and it was the players from both sides who came out. Jonk also stood up and applauded. With his injury sidelined today, he felt guilty for not being able to fight on the pitch when the team needed him, and all he could do was cheer for his teammates in the stands.

In this game, Jonk was out due to injury, and Ancelotti sent the veteran Inzaghi on the front line. It is a single striker formation.

In midfield, Pirlo, Gattuso, Kaka, Ambrosini and Brocki.

Defender line. Cafu at right-back, Neysta and Simic at centre-back, and veteran Maldini at left-back.

Nesta's return from injury is the biggest piece of good news for AC Milan fans after Jonker was out of the game with an injury.

"It's just that judging from AC Milan's list, Ancelotti is going to defend this game." Mendes, as a 'super agent', is of course also extremely knowledgeable about football. Carlo Ancelotti has only one striker named Inzaghi, with Gattuso and Brocki in midfield and Ambrosini in the midfield. This is to fight Manchester United in midfield and stop Manchester United's attack.

Jonk didn't speak, he didn't think about it so much, whether it was offensive or defensive, this is a matter for the manager to consider, what he thinks now is that he didn't be able to fight on the pitch in person, and personally fight for the final ticket to the Champions League final, which is really a big regret in life.

“GOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL！”

AC Milan's start was quite smooth, even fantastic.

Fourteen minutes into the game, Kaka sent a wonderful pass, Inzaghi successfully countered offside, received the football, faced the attacking Manchester United goalkeeper Van der Sar, Inzaghi pushed the far corner to score.

1 to 0!

The overall score is 4-3!

Inzaghi, who scored this goal, can finally vent unscrupulously again. He ran to the corner flag and yelled loudly with his teammates.

The whole stadium was almost boiling. The moment Inzaghi scored the football, countless people jumped up with their arms raised and cheered. Jonk is no exception.

The "good omen" of Manchester United's lack of success was shattered at the San Siro, and after 58 and 69 years, Manchester United was excluded from the final by AC Milan in Europe's top league for the third time, and the embarrassing record of visiting Italy also extended to 10 losses, 1 draw and 2 wins. What made Ferguson and his disciples even more gloomy was that the Red Devils, who had led the Premier League in goals this season, were unable to break the embarrassing record of zero goals at the San Siro.

The treble, the dream of repeating the miracle of '99 was shattered today, but the process of Milan's victory convinced Ferguson. "They were obviously in better shape than us, sharper and quicker with the ball," said the gentleman, "and they did cause us a lot of problems and pressure, and they deserved to be the winners." ”

Just 30 minutes into the game, Manchester United has fallen behind 0-2, the score has been overtaken, the opponent also has an away goal advantage, in a desperate situation, Ferguson did not look forward to last weekend's 0-2 down and scored four goals in a row to reverse Everton's good performance, he did not criticize the players, the current situation of the two teams in the league is uncontrollable. "They are better than us in terms of physical and physical preparation. They rotated some key players in the league last week and these were the key players in tonight's game. 'Ferguson was right, Carlo Ancelotti hid Kaka, Gattuso, Odoh, Jankulovski and Inzaghi in the weekend league. Manchester United have been working hard and it's too difficult for us to play games like this. ”

At the start of the second half, United's attack improved a bit, but unfortunately the goal hopes could not be translated into reality. Ferguson was pity. 'In the first 15 minutes of the second half, Manchester United looked a little bit more motivated and had some chances, but we needed to score to turn things around. But it's fair to say that we didn't get a real chance. A real chance to score. It's too easy to concede the first goal and you can't make that mistake in a game of this level. ”

With Champions League dreams shattered, Ferguson said United must focus all their energy on the league and "have to shake off the disappointment and put that feeling aside." We've been through this in the past and I'm sure United can handle the weekend. 'Theoretically, Manchester United will have a chance of winning the title this week, but they need to meet both conditions. 1, Manchester United win over Manchester City, 2. Chelsea are beaten against Arsenal. 'Manchester United can win the title, but first they have to make sure they recover from the defeat and 12.45pm is not a time we want to see, but we have to adapt.

Finally, Alex Ferguson revealed that Rio Ferdinand could return at that time. Helping Manchester United play Manchester City in the Manchester derby. Missing the Champions Cup. Manchester United have two more title chances, the League and FA Cup, and the Red Devils have a chance of a double.

The three major crises exposed by Manchester United in the first leg of this game were all reflected, and they all cost Manchester United to comeback. These three mediocre points are one is defensive, the second is attacking, and the third is the command of Lord Alex Ferguson, all three points are mediocre, and Manchester United has nothing to complain about in the 3-0 defeat. Not a single player, including Alex Ferguson. No Manchester United player could play properly, so this game was a complete defeat to AC Milan.

The whole game allowed Dida to make only one save, which was also the most typical offensive mediocrity. And to make Kaka and Seedorf like no one is the so-called defensive mediocrity. In the last 20 minutes, Milan's physical fitness declined, and when he retreated again and again, Ferguson failed to reasonably mobilize substitutes, and did not take advantage of the situation to use the opponent's defense to shrink his physical decline and put pressure on the opponent, which was Ferguson's mediocre command.

Overall, we often compare Benitez, Jose Mourinho and Alex Ferguson, the three Premier League coaches who led the team to the last four, and the reason why the boss is the most prominent in Europe is that he places great emphasis on defence.

For the first time in the past five years, Manchester United was able to break into the last four, because the club and the lord themselves did not pay enough attention to the team's defense. They may be able to win the Premier League title by attacking, but in European competition, especially in the knockout stage, it is difficult to go far without a good sense of defense and a solid defensive line.

Judging from the results, Manchester United has too much contrast between home and away in Europe over the years, losing only 1 game in the last 30 games at home, but as a guest, it has only won 2 games in the past 3 years. And this season is the fourth loss, maybe some fans because of Ferdinand's absence, the lack of core of the guide defense line, not able to play with the strongest lineup, but we have to see this season's European away games lost to Roma, Copenhagen, Celtic, these are the team's complete defensive losses, so Manchester United in the future to achieve a breakthrough in Europe, indeed to greatly strengthen the importance of defense Cheng dù.

Looking at the two-legged clash with Milan, we said that the United defence was very dangerous, lacking command and mutual protection, allowing the opposition to get two valuable goals at Old Trafford, and it was the same today, the defence lacked mutual protection and communication.

It is very regrettable to point out that although Heinze has been outstanding in the past, his shortcomings have been exposed a lot since returning from injury, and tonight was a nightmare game for the Argentine, with his defensive aggressiveness and misposition, making the Manchester United defence still full of holes even if Vidic returned from injury.

From the first minute of the game, Heinze was aggressive on the left, and then Kaka was even more in the middle of the attack on the right, which caused Vidic to be affected for a certain time.

Especially in the process of the second goal, the Achilles' heel of the lack of communication protection of the two defense lines was exposed: first of all, Heinze's meaningless return pass, the guide zhì teammate was forced by the opponent to make a mistake, Heinze's ball could be disposed of at the first time, but he chose to cross Vidic in the penalty area; There was a problem with Brown and Vidic's communication during the second cross, if the ball communicated with each other, Brown was relatively safe to deal with at the back point, but Vidic grabbed the front point, the ball did not destroy further away, and directly let Seedorf get possession, Vidic's next tackle was also shaken, allowing Seedorf to score the crucial second goal, allowing Milan to stabilize the whole game in the first 30 minutes, which also comes from the mediocre table of Manchester United's defense!

In terms of on-the-spot command, even if Milan led 2-0, United still had plenty of time to counter-attack. The next 60 minutes were able to rearrange and put pressure on the opposition defence.

Perhaps the success of 4231 at home made Ferguson very persistent, but the mediocrity of the attack in the away game had a lot to do with the lack of timely changes in formation. Cristiano Ronaldo is the most relied upon attacking player in the team. In the first half, the left side was exactly the range that the opponent's midfielder Gattuso was best at, and he was entangled by Gattuso, and the formation in the second half was still 4231, but Ronaldo changed his position and moved more in the middle, but unfortunately he still failed to play the maximum effect.

In the case of an unfavorable attack, Manchester United need 442. It takes left Ryan Giggs and right Ronaldo to pull on the wing. In the last round of the Premier League, Manchester United reversed Everton, in addition to the opponent's rookie goalkeeper mistakes, and Manchester United pulled back a goal and replaced Ronaldo to play 442. It has a lot to do with having the two of them move on the wing. There was no immediate change of formation in the unfavorable situation today, but Fletcher switched to the right side, and it is undeniable that Fletcher was very good in the first leg, but Fletcher was very good as a coolie in the midfield. When there is a lack of attacking awareness on the right wing. The best chance of the game was Rooney's pass, and Fletcher's follow-up shot was completely deflected, wasting the opportunity. It was a failure for Ferguson to fail to play to his greatest attacking strengths.

For Manchester United, there is a hard lesson to be learned in terms of the imbalance between attack and defence, but the lack of attention to defence in the whole football philosophy still needs to be addressed. If you don't make a big determination to focus on defense and improve the team's away table, it will be difficult to win the UEFA Champions League in the future.

AC Milan's midfield is equipped with offensive and defensive equipment and personnel arrangements very reasonably, and there is Gattuso as an unsung hero. In the last round, he was injured in the second half and the team was reversed, and this time Gattuso played a sweeping role in midfield. The restriction on Cristiano Ronaldo in particular has been very successful. Both sides wanted to limit the other's most dangerous man, and United failed to do so, Milan Tong Guò Gattuso's cousin Xiàn did.

And Milan has a clear division of labor in the midfield, Pirlo is responsible for contact and organization, Gattuso and Ambrosini are responsible for sweeping, and Inzaghi or Gilardino in the front trident can attract the attention of the opponent for the two ghosts behind him, so the arrangement of the midfield allows the two ghosts to have sufficient space to move, and Kaka continues to lead the scorer list, which shows the importance of his great talent to the older Milan. In an Italian team known for their defence, it is important to have such a Brazilian talent, whose play propelled Milan to another final.

AC Milan beat Manchester United 3-0 at home to advance to the Champions League final, and the rain over San Siro has become a holiday for Milanese. The dream of "marching into Athens" has finally become a reality.

Carlo Ancelotti appeared in a happy mood at the post-match press conference: "I think it's every manager's dream to play a first half like this today, it was a perfect performance, we won the game in those 45 minutes. ”

'Manchester United is a good team,' Ancelotti said, 'and they did well in the first leg, but our table gave us the confidence in the second leg to be able to play like this. ”

Speaking about the goal of qualifying for the final, Carlo Ancelotti said: "It's extraordinary to be able to qualify for the final, especially this season when people think we're not going to be able to do it, but who would have thought we'd be so happy now? I've won a few trophies in the past," Ancelotti commented on the opponents in the final, "and the clash against Liverpool will be fascinating, they are a completely different team from Manchester United, they are slightly inferior in terms of quality, but they are better physically and mentally. ”

Carlo Ancelotti continued: "Sir Alex Ferguson congratulated me after the game and I think everyone who saw AC Milan's table today would agree that it was a perfect game and we are so happy. ”

AC Milan reached the Champions League final for the third time in five years, and Carlo Ancelotti believes it is no accident: "I think there are some teams that are better in the cup competitions, which require more rhythm, determination and focus than in the league, and I have said that there is no second team in the world that can prepare for the Champions League like AC Milan, and we are trying to create the best conditions to show our best form in the Champions League. ”

Seedorf said before the game that 3-3 away was better than 2-2, and Ancelotti agreed: "We have a different mentality and so do Manchester United, the late goal in the last leg made such a difference, we built up the win from the start, we took the lead quickly, it was because of determination and we knew we had to win. ”

In fact, AC Milan's results in the second half of the season were quite impressive, both in the league and in the Champions League. Carlo Ancelotti explained: "Our great results since Christmas came from the better physical condition of the whole team and the hard training we had during the winter break. This allows us to prepare for the second phase of the season. ”

Commenting on the match, Galliani, vice-president of the club, said: "It was a wonderful victory, although we lost the first leg, we responded perfectly in the second leg and we reached the Champions League final for the third time in five years. It was also the eighth time in the Berlusconi era that he reached the final, which is truly a wonderful gift, and we now negate the negative comments that the summer has made about us. ”

Speaking of the finals. Galliani said: "I don't think about Liverpool right now, we're going to try to get the best result in the final and beat them. We lost to them in the final two years ago, but now both teams are very different and we'll see if we're going to be able to make the final a different result than it was two years ago. ”

Maldini looked ahead to the final: "Even though it's been two years, it's nice to meet Liverpool in the final. It's a team that has nothing to fear. Will I be able to participate in the finals? It depends on my knees, it's a great feeling to lift the trophy and if we win we will have the chance to play the UEFA Super Cup and the Club World Cup, and if possible I want to keep playing. ”

Club president Silvio Berlusconi is pleased with AC Milan's rise in the second half of the season: "The season started in a bad way, we were undeservedly punished, then there were a lot of injuries and it looked like the season was going in a bad direction. But on the contrary, we managed to come out of the disaster. Pick yourself up again. ”

Regarding the final, Berlusconi sees it as a good opportunity for revenge: "We are still shocked by the result in Istanbul, it will be an extra task for us, and now we have to go to Athens and take back the title that should have belonged to us in 2005 from Liverpool!" ”

Liverpool's penalty win over Chelsea, AC Milan's 3-0 win over Manchester United, and the two protagonists on the stage in Istanbul in 2005 met for the first time in two years in the Champions League final. AC Milan and Liverpool have teamed up to make history and prove how well both teams have fought in the Champions League.

The last time in the history of the UEFA Champions League was that the two teams reached the final were repeated in the 72/73 and 95/96 seasons, when Juventus faced Ajax, and in the 94/95 and 68/69 seasons, AC Milan and Ajax met twice in the Champions League final. The closest time in the year was in the 58/59 and 55/56 seasons, Real Madrid met Reims with Fontaine in the final twice, and the two teams met twice in four years, while AC Milan and Liverpool met twice in three years, which is believed to be an irreproducible history.

It should be said that AC Milan advanced to the Champions Cup final this time, much easier than the last time, the second leg of the last time against PSV Eindhoven was already walking on thin ice, and this time, AC Milan relied on a 3-0 victory, with an aggregate score of 5-3 victory over Manchester United, there is not much burden in the league, this is the biggest similarity between AC Milan and Liverpool this season and 04/05 season, in fact, football has been carried out to this day, it is difficult to have a dominant, frequent events, the strength of the teams is getting closer and closer, It is becoming more and more difficult for the "double" of the league and the Champions Cup to appear. Especially in the three major leagues of England, Italy and Spain, Barcelona's double title last season benefited from taking the lead in the league. Pushing back further, Manchester United's title in the 98/99 season had to rely on a once-in-a-century comeback.

AC Milan and Liverpool have been in a similar position this season, having been at a disadvantage in the league, and when AC Milan quickly locked up a top-four finish in the league and started to rotate, the road to the Champions League was easy. Liverpool is out early in the FA Cup and League Cup, and the league ranking is not up or down, and can be fully invested in the Champions Cup, the last round away to Portsmouth, Liverpool rotated 10 players, and Chelsea played all the main players, and also injured Carvalho, which is also destined to the result of the red and blue duel three days later, AC Milan and Manchester United are in a similar situation.

AC Milan and Liverpool have reached the Champions Cup final twice in three years, and it also depends on the fighting power of the two teams in this competition, AC Milan has always attached importance to and has always been good at the European Champions Cup, Gattuso once said: "A Champions Cup tops 2 or 3 league titles." "Although it is an exaggeration, it shows the importance that the team attaches to this competition. AC Milan has reached the Champions Cup final three times in five years, and it is also the only team in Europe to enter the quarterfinals of the Champions Cup every year in the past five years.

Liverpool, on the other hand, benefited from their manager, Rafael Benitez, a knockout manager who won the UEFA Cup in 03/04 and the Champions League in 04/05, and it was no coincidence that he led the team to the Champions League final this time.

In any case, the two teams met again on the big stage in Athens, this time with history repeating itself? Or is revenge staged? (To be continued......)
