Chapter 188: The Script Is Wrong (Part 1)
Under the offensive of the mainstream Italian media, the vast majority of AC Milan fans also believe that Zheng Yi's absence will not have any impact on Milan.
After all, AC Milan has reserved enough players in the midfield and frontcourt position, such as Ghanaian Boateng, and Adia, Odumadi and others.
You should know that these people are all players with excellent performance in the World Cup this summer. They are popular and far from being comparable to Zheng Yi, a player from the football desert.
Of course, in addition to their confidence in their reserve players, what really makes Milan fans rest easy is AC Milan's second round opponent Sessena.
This team from southern Italy has very average strength and has been involved in the Serie B League for many years. Before this season, I have had experience in playing in the top league.
Compared with AC Milan's first round opponent Lecce, Sessena is even weaker than AC Milan. However, in the last game, AC Milan won the season with a score of 2-o.
Although there were some twists and turns during the game, AC Milan fans do not think this is a factor of strength, but more because AC Milan itself has not yet entered the state.
After nearly ten days of adjustment, Milan fans believe that today's game will definitely be a big victory, and at least three goals will start. For this reason, many Milan fans who are watching the game at home have prepared champagne in advance.
So whether Zheng Yi is short of the situation or not, they really don’t take this matter to heart.
However, compared to the fans' confidence, head coach Allegri still has hidden worries.
Because he was very clear about the shortcomings of AC Milan at present, before the game against Sessena, Allegri ranked AC Milan's strongest lineup, and was also prepared to face difficulties in his heart.
Of course, Allegri is also confident about getting all three points, after all, his opponent is just a team of promoted players...

September 12, 7:35 pm.
At the Dino Manucci Stadium, home team Sessena faces the challenge of Serie A giants AC Milan.
As a home game in the Serie A League history, Dino Manuci Stadium is full, and all the home team fans with blue and white jerseys are visible.
They sang to the fullest, creating a momentum for the home team that was not inferior to San Siro.
Soon, amid the singing of the home team fans, the two team members came to the court from the locker room, and then held an opening ceremony such as handshake and exchange of team flags.
After the ceremony, the competition officially begins.
The home team Sessena was the first to kick off the ball. Because it was playing at home, Sessena did not choose to tighten the fence in a weak team posture and wait for an opportunity to attack. Instead, after the kickoff, he directly attacked the hinterland of AC Milan.
Allegri was somewhat surprised by Sessena's choice. Like many people, Allegri also believed that Sessena would be somewhat concerned about AC Milan's strength and dare not attack easily. Unexpectedly, Sessena took the initiative to fight at the beginning.
However, Sessena's choice only surprised Allegri. After all, Allegri was ready to face difficulties before the game.
This preparation was also implemented by Allegri in daily training.
Otherwise, when Sessena held the ball and advanced to the top of the AC Milan penalty area, the player with the ball was sniped by AC Milan.
Veteran Ambrosini well interprets what it means to be like a treasure. Although Sessena's ball-holding player made a very fancy fake move when facing Ambrosini, the experienced Ambrosini did not eat at all and used the flaws of the opponent's movements to break the ball.
After breaking the ball, AC Milan formation immediately launched a counterattack. Since Allegri joined the team, the most instilled in the players was the offensive degree.
In the era of star-studded AC Milan, Ambrosini was not the one with the best talent, but he was definitely the one with the most thorough tactical discipline. This is also the fundamental reason why Ambrosini still occupies a position in AC Milan in his thirties.
Therefore, at the moment when AC Milan formation was unfolding, Ambrosini directly chose to pass the long pass to find Ibrahimovic who was at the forefront.
Because it was a steal counterattack, when Ambrosini passed the ball, there was no interference from Sessena players around him, so the passing point was particularly accurate.
This is simply too comfortable for Ibrahimovic, who has strong individual combat capabilities. Even at the moment of Ibrahimovic's jumping, two Sesenna players jumping to interfere, Ibrahimovic still steadily flew the ball to Pato on the side.
As a golden boy, Pato is not only fast, but also has very solid skills. When Ibrahimovic headed over, Pato stopped and easily threw away the Sessena player who was marking the defense and forced Sessena into Sessena's penalty area.
Seeing this scene, Sesenna's full-back was also shocked. He was retreating all the time, but there were only so many in the depth of the stadium. Where can he retreat?
Finally, at the corner of the penalty area, Sesenna's full-back stopped and stopped retreating. It was already the penalty area!
At this time, Pato, who was rushing in with the ball, looked up at the penalty area. Ibrahimovic and Sessena were heading in unison to rush into the penalty area. Ronaldinho was ambushing in front of the full-back waiting for an opportunity at the far end. At the same time, Seedorf and Pirlo in the middle were also moving forward.
Sessena has a loose formation and many loopholes. Pato knows that this is a very good opportunity. Whether it is cutting in the ball or passing the ball into the penalty area, it is very likely to score!
But the premise is to pass the Sesenna full-back in front of you!
With plans in mind, Pato activates the ball faster! Pato soon came to the front of Sesenna's full-back.
There were still five meters left, Pato still changed direction and rushed straight towards the full-back. Just as the two met, Pato took a step in!
He wants to cut inward?!
Sesenna's full-back was shocked and did not dare to neglect at all, and stepped forward with one step.
However, when Sesenna's full-back made an introspective move, Pato did not cut into the penalty area, but instead used his outside instep to push the ball back!
There was also a burst of exclamations in the stands in the stadium, and the home team fans were shocked.
However, it is too early to say that Sessena must have lost the ball. Although Pato used the fake move of cutting inside to complete the outside car, it also means that Pato lost the opportunity to cut inside and shoot.
After passing the full-back, the space left for Pato was not enough to cut into the penalty area because the degree was too fast, and he only swept to the goal one way.
The goalkeeper Sessena also judged it.
As expected, Pato kicked two steps and swept the ball to the penalty area.
The goalkeeper Sessena, who was prepared, moved ahead of time and pressed the ball firmly under his body before Ibrahimovic's toes!
The home team Sessena fans in the stands exhaled in unison - it was so dangerous!
In comparison, there are a few AC Milan fans on the scene and the regrets of fans in front of the TV.
However, while regretting that he failed to score, AC Milan fans were completely excited - the current game is moving towards the script they expected!
AC Milan is about to usher in a big victory!…
