Chapter 415 Pirlo and Kaka
The first leg of the two teams was at the San Siro Stadium in Milan. Milan faced Liverpool's challenge at home, and the schedule of the away and home was beneficial to Liverpool, so the decisive game would stay at Anfield Stadium.
This is only the first round, but the first round is also quite important.
Even though they kept talking and laughing, there were still many players who used the Istanbul miracle last season to mock Milan, but in fact, Liverpool players' hearts were still heavy in the face of Milan, and they knew the strength of this opponent.
The magical reversal of three goals they completed in Istanbul last season, but so what? That only shows that their performance is amazing. The miracle of scoring three goals in six minutes is enough to make many people remember many people. Perhaps fifty years later, there will be fans who will watch videos of this game, but they will never say, "Liverpool is stronger than Milan."
Milan's suppression throughout the game can illustrate a lot.
Liverpool can complete the reversal by perseverance, unyielding spirit and a lot of luck. They have these advantages themselves, but one is also very important, that is, Milan's carelessness. From any perspective, that game can prove that Milan's overall strength is much stronger than Liverpool.
That's the real feeling.
For Liverpool players participating in the game, that is also a deep memory. When they remember the miracle they completed by themselves, they also remembered the feeling of the game. Scoring three goals in six minutes is good, but at most they can only defend passively, and they are worried about their goal loss again and again.
So Liverpool has no psychological advantage in facing Milan.
One day before the game, the whole Liverpool team flew to Milan City, Italy. This is a fashionable and trendy capital, more prosperous than Liverpool. It is more tempting than Liverpool, but after the whole Liverpool team came to Milan City, they directly entered the hotel, and no one came out of the hotel again.
No one went out to stroll, no one went to appreciate this fashion capital.
Not only that, there are still a few media outlets in the hotel. They can also film the whole Liverpool team having dinner and chatting in the hotel lobby, but no Liverpool players take the initiative to be interviewed. They just do their own things, and it looks like they are here to relax and have a vacation and chat with friends, and they also seem very low-key.
The same is true for Zhang Tiehan.
When he came to Milan City, he was also very sighing. Compared with other teammates, he was actually more familiar with Milan City. He has been to this city more than once, and he has all come here to participate in the competition. His opponent is Inter Milan and Milan. He has been there several times.
He actually wanted to go out and have a look.
Then you can also review your days in Rome, review your last time you came here, and also feel the charm of Milan City, but he still didn't. It was not just the advice of head coach Benitez. He also knew that there would be a lot of trouble when going out.
The key is that he is by no means a popular person among Milan fans.
Neither Milan fans nor Inter Milan fans will welcome him at all. Not to mention that he is Milan's opponent now. Even if it is not, these Milan fans will not forget the deep memories he left to Milan and Inter last year.
It can be said that he is not welcome to Milan City.
