Chapter 496 The Great War Begins

The knockout stage is a life-and-death battle, and the loser will be eliminated from the Champions League and lose hope of moving forward.

The second leg of the Champions League semi-finals is even more a life-and-death battle. One game determines which team will enter the finals. The team entering the finals will definitely be ecstatic. On the contrary, the team that was eliminated can only leave with regrets.

No matter what the result is, only one team of both teams advances to the finals. The cruelty of professional football is fully reflected in the rules.

The situation in AC Milan is very unfavorable.

AC Milan is two goals behind in the first leg, and a away goal is not an advantage. If they want to advance, they must play an absolute advantage at home.

Millwall's situation is much better.

Although the Italian media keeps talking about "Ac Milan only needs to eliminate Mirwall 2-0", but 2-0 is not that easy? Mirwall only needs to defend the whole game. If AC Milan wants to score two goals, it takes all the effort and luck.

After all, this is a football game, and it is difficult to score goals.

As strong as AC Milan, there are relatively fewer games in a game where two goals are scored than their opponents, let alone the premise is that Mirwall cannot score goals, otherwise AC Milan will have to score four goals to safely defeat Mirwall.

Regarding the score situation of the two teams is not good for AC Milan, AC Milan club manager Galliani has something to say. He believes that AC Milan's hope of advancing is greater than Mirwall. "The game is at San Siro Stadium. We must admit that the last game was affected by away factors. Neal's memories were not good, but when we returned to the home court, our players could get back their form. As long as we perform normally, tie and overtake it is not difficult."

"This is not an exaggeration, but a trust in the team's strength and condition."

When Galliani said these words, he showed full confidence.

Some British media retorted angrily, "You said you wanted to beat Millwall in the last game!"

Galliani did not answer this.

Media in other countries may be surprised by Galliani's attitude and do not understand why he is so confident, but Italian media have long been used to it. Galliani is AC Milan's "spokesperson". Whenever AC Milan is at a disadvantage, he will stand up to boost morale.

Just like AC Milan is behind Inter Milan, Roma and Galliani in the league, more than once, AC Milan will play the next game well and will definitely be able to overtake the points. Of course, it has not been achieved yet, and AC Milan is still ranked third in the league.

But no matter what, Galliani always trusts AC Milan and trusts all the players' attitude may also increase his personal charm. Many players choose to join AC Milan because of Galliani.

AC Milan is now created by Galliani. When the Lazio dynasty fell apart, AC Milan became the biggest beneficiary. Last year, Juventus was forced to be relegated, and AC Milan was also fined and fined. However, under Galliani's operation, AC Milan not only did not suffer much influence, but successfully survived and also achieved good results in the Champions League.

Galliani has made great contributions to AC Milan, and he is also one of the most heavyweight figures in Italian football.

Even if there are many words that motivate morale, they will not be able to achieve their goals in the end, and few Italian media will criticize Galliani. The Italian media also believe that AC Milan, who is in the San Siro Stadium, will be a team with excellent fighting spirit and form. They also believe that AC Milan has great hopes to achieve a home reversal and successfully eliminate Mirvoor, and enter the finals again after two years.

Of course, media in other countries don’t understand.

Of course, the British media support Millwall. They believe that Millwall has a great hope of winning. One is that Millwall is full of fighting spirit. They have just won the league championship ahead of schedule. Without any pressure, they can focus on the Champions League. The other is that Millwall has the advantage of scoring.

From which aspect, Millwall has more hope.

The last round of the game also gave the British media confidence. They all thought that Mirwall and AC Milan were in a gap, but after the game at Neal Stadium, they found that Mirwall was not much worse than AC Milan. The super high efficiency in front of the goal ensured Mirwall's performance. Even if they played away games, they would be more confident.

Under the reports of national media on both sides, the atmosphere before the game has been picked up.

AC Milan has been constantly showing confidence from players to coaches. Mirwall did the opposite, saying nothing before the game, but just preparing for the game.

This is a bold strategy.

With two goals advantage, Mirwall does not need to fight verbal with AC Milan. If you really do it, you will be the trap of your opponent.

AC Milan just doesn't want Mirwall to prepare for the game, because a Mirwall who is well prepared will greatly reduce their winning rate. They hope to meet a proud Mirwall, a Mirwall who is not in shape, and a Mirwall who performs poorly on the court.

Zhang Yang will not let the team pay attention to the opponent's provocation.

All you need to do before the game is to prepare, let each player adjust his physical condition, and let the entire team prepare fully, respond to changes in the same way, and not give the opponent any chance.

No matter how the other party does it, it becomes unimportant.

The game is coming soon.

The San Siro Stadium in the San Siro district of Milan, Italy was already overcrowded early on.

This stadium, also known as Giuseppe Meazza Stadium, is a shared stadium between two giant teams in Milan - AC Milan and Inter Milan. Its ownership belongs to the Milan Municipal Government and is a five-star football stadium in UEFA.

The UEFA-rated five-star football stadium has a total of 80,000 seats, and the number of fans can be accommodated at most 90,000 or 100,000. Generally, the team does not have so many fans, but AC Milan is different. They are one of the best teams in Italy. Whenever they encounter important games, the stadium will be crowded. In addition to the fans of our team, there are many tourists from Milan who will come to watch the game on site and enjoy the passion and joy of football together.

Today's game is very important.

There were more than 60,000 supporters of AC Milan alone, and nearly 20,000 fans of other teams and neutral fans, while Mirwall fans had almost 5,000.

Five thousand people are already a lot.

The number of fans and members of Mirwall Club does not exceed 100,000. In general, at home games, Neal Stadium is just full. The number of fans who can come to Milan to watch the game with the team has reached 5,000, which is definitely the peak of a century-old history.

This may also be the gap between the club and the giants.

Even the 5,000 fans who came were not all pure Millwall supporters. Most of them were fans of London, but some were supporters of Chelsea, as well as Fulham supporters, and even supporters of North London Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur. Some of them came to support Millwall. Some of the reasons are attributed to the national football confrontation. The English and Italian football confrontations are an old topic in European football confrontations. They will naturally support Millwall to defeat AC Milan.

In addition, some of the reasons lie with Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang's "fan group" still has a certain strength. The members of the fan group are not limited to Millwall fans. Many fans of other teams also support Zhang Yang, so they came to support Millwall on the spot.

This is the driving effect of celebrities.

Even if Mirwall supports many fans, he can't catch up with the home team AC Milan, or even one-tenth of the home team fans. Therefore, the shouts at the scene are basically supportive of AC Milan, and the fan atmosphere is naturally very beneficial to AC Milan.

The game is about to begin, and the players of both teams have already appeared.

The atmosphere on the court was mobilized, and the shouts of fans were everywhere. As the audience broadcast introduction introduced the players, the shouts rose by an order of magnitude.

In this atmosphere, Zhang Yang walked to the coach's seat to do it. He scanned the entire court with a faint smile on his face.

AC Milan head coach Ancelotti also walked to Milan's coaching seat, and the old coach looked here.

The two looked at each other and nodded.

Afterwards, with the referee's whistle, AC Milan's home game against Mirwall officially began.
