Chapter 55: The Injury of the Champions League Is Cured in the League [Please Order First Tonight! ]

The British media happily began to praise Tottenham.

On the Italian media side, there were only criticisms of Milan and doubts about Allegri's tactical arrangements.

It seemed that overnight, the team that had won eight consecutive victories in Serie A was no longer AC Milan.

Allegri obviously used the same tactics at that time, and the media had nothing but flattery for him.

But after losing to Tottenham, all the praises in the past turned into criticism.

Allegri made some explanations for his deployment in the press conference after the game.

But in the eyes of Italian reporters who were dissatisfied with the result at this moment, everything he said was just an excuse for his mistakes.

The treatment of the Milan players who started the game was not much better.

Ibrahimovic, who missed an absolute opportunity, and Robinho, who was sleepwalking, were severely criticized by reporters in articles.

And Flamini, who replaced Pirlo who had some discomfort in his calf muscles, started the game.

Moreover, because he failed to defend against the key figure of Tottenham's two counterattacks, Van der Vaart, he was directly labeled as "unsatisfactory".

To be honest, this is a bit too harsh for Flamini.

He is not a pure defensive midfielder, and it is not appropriate to put all the blame on him for Milan's lack of midfield sweeping ability today.

But the media likes to pull out a player to make articles and smear to attract traffic.

Such means are not uncommon in the football public opinion circle.

And Li Ang, who did not play a minute in this game, became the most mentioned object by the media and fans after the game.

There is no way. In the league two and a half days ago, the contrast between Milan's almost impenetrable midfield and the midfield whose coverage and defense ability has dropped a lot today is too obvious.

If Li Ang can play for Milan in the Champions League, will Milan be able to beat Tottenham 100% at home?

No one dares to make such a guarantee.

But if Li Ang really appeared in this game.

Then Milan fans have sufficient reason to believe.

At least they will not get such a tragic and failed result.

Unfortunately, such an assumption is just an assumption and cannot be truly realized.

In the second round, Milan will also need to fight with Tottenham without Li Ang in the midfield and backcourt.

Now, they need to put away their frustrated thoughts and focus on the Serie A again.

※※※

On the morning of February 17, after a day off, Milan's first-team players gathered in Milanello again.

Allegri gave a mobilization speech before the training session officially started.

The veterans in the Milan team also played their role at this time.

After winning various heavyweight honors and tasting the failure of various competitions, this little setback is nothing more than a common thing in their careers.

People like Pato, Boateng, Flamini, Merkel and others may still be in a slightly low mood.

But Pirlo, Gattuso, Seedorf, Nesta and Ibrahimovic, more Milan players have regrouped and invested in a new round of preparations for the league.

Li Ang has long been mentally prepared.

After all, when he came to Milan last month, he had already foreseen that Allegri's tactics might fail in the Champions League.

After all, the Champions League games are constantly speeding up, and no one will play this "slow" attack and defense game with you.

And the teams that have made it to the knockout stage of the Champions League are all tough characters who can be ruthless and fight for the chance to continue to advance.

If you dare to hide, others will dare to press you and attack wildly. If you are not careful, the main defensive team will always lose control of the rhythm of the game.

Without Li Ang, Milan's current midfield combination of veterans and reckless men can't withstand the impact of the young and strong Tottenham midfield.

It can only be said that this is fate.

After Li Ang played in the Champions League this season for Real Madrid, he can no longer play for Milan.

This is not only a regret for Milan, but also a regret for Li Ang?

After regrouping, on February 20, Milan went to Verona again in the league.

Facing Chievo, another nervous team in Serie A that won Napoli some time ago and then tied Lazio.

Milan still gave full respect and attention to them.

All the main players started, without missing a single one. The starting lineup announced by Milan before the game still made the fans feel at ease.

After being hit in the Champions League, they can't easily lose the chain in the league.

After all, even if they were lucky enough to turn the tables on Tottenham in the Champions League, whether they can go further depends on the luck of the draw, which has too much instability.

In contrast, Milan fans who have gradually come out of the discomfort still attach more importance to the league results this season.

This meat on the lips can't be let slip away just like that.

The Milan fans who are eager to see the team continue to advance in the league also spent a lot of money this time.

The total capacity of Chievo's home stadium, the Bentegoti Stadium, is only a little over 40,000, and it is difficult to fill it when playing Serie A games.

But on February 20, there were nearly 20,000 fans wearing AC Milan red and black jerseys in the Bentegoti Stadium!

Not only did they buy out all the away tickets, AC Milan fans also bought a lot of tickets from the home team fans.

Okay.

Chievo's home stadium instantly became a neutral stadium, and judging from the momentum of the fans singing the team song before the game, Chievo may not be as big as Milan!

Under such circumstances, the morale of Milan players naturally rose again.

If the fans are so supportive, how can they not win? !

Ibrahimovic exploded first.

Under the premise that Allegri once again decided to play an offensive tactic, Ibrahimovic opened the scoring for Milan in the 23rd minute of the first half!

After receiving Seedorf's spiritual pass, Ibrahimovic drew his bow and shot directly with a volley side shot that made Chievo goalkeeper Sorrentino helpless.

Eight minutes later, Milan made a comeback. This time, Li Ang suddenly dribbled forward and disrupted Chievo's midfield defense.

Seeing this, Seedorf decisively moved forward and followed up.

At the moment when two Milan midfielders pressed towards their own defense line, Chievo's defensive midfielder Constant lost his position, and Li Ang took the opportunity to pass the ball to Seedorf near the top of the penalty area.

After stopping the ball and adjusting slightly, Seedorf once again succeeded with a stunning shot!

After leading by two goals, Milan players celebrated passionately at the Bentegoti Stadium, which was almost their home court!

The dark clouds that had been hanging over Milan's head due to the defeat in the Champions League five days ago began to melt away gradually.

Allegri's five-day frustration was fully vented at this moment.

He tore off his tie slightly exaggeratedly on the sidelines and roared with the fans to celebrate!

The wounds brought to Milan by the Champions League seem to have begun to heal slowly in the melting pot of the Serie A league.

The closer it is to the day of listing, the more nervous the foodies are. The follow-up data is very good, but the final results still depend on the first order data of the listing.

Therefore, I, the foodie, once again beg all the big guys, at midnight on June 1, which is what we usually prefer to say, late at night on May 31.

Yes, that's right, tonight!

Roma will play the Europa League final against Sevilla, and my new book will be on the shelves. I beg all the big guys to give me a first order after reading the book!

This data is really very important.

I, the foodie, never ask for rewards, nor do I ask every big guy who reads the book to give me a full order, but for the first order, I still ask the big guys to support me!

I, the foodie, thank you all!
