host must win

4月下旬的第一场比赛，曼联在主场的连胜记录被米德尔斯堡终结在21个这个数字上。这是英超联赛第35轮的比赛，曼联被米德尔斯堡1:1逼平。

Manchester United didn't care too much about this result, because all their energy was put on the upcoming first round of the Champions League semi-finals!
However, Chelsea did not seize this opportunity to close the gap with Manchester United, because their full energy was also attracted by the upcoming Champions League semi-final.

Reaching the semi-finals of the Champions League after a lapse of one year, the Blues are eager to advance to the final.

In fact, the Champions League is already Mourinho's life-saving straw!

Although Chelsea also reached the final of the FA Cup, Mourinho has lost the trust of Abramovich because of the huge gap with Manchester United in the league.

Under such circumstances, unless Mourinho beats Liverpool in the semi-finals of the Champions League to advance to the final and finally wins the cup in Athens, Mourinho's days at Stamford Bridge will inevitably end!
So, in a league game a day later than United's, a visibly absent-minded Chelsea drew a goalless draw with Newcastle at St James' Park.

On the arrival of the new week, before the first round of the UEFA Champions League semi-final against AC Milan, Yin Jun once again received good news.The Premier League Professional Players Association (PFA) announced the winners of the two major awards for the 2006-2007 season. Yin Jun once again achieved a "win-win situation". He was also elected the Premier League Player of the Year and Best Rookie.

This is the 5th consecutive year that Yin Jun has won the PFA Rookie of the Season, and it is also the 4th consecutive year that he has won the PFA Player of the Season!
This simply makes other players in the Premier League desperate!

However, for Manchester United, this is a very morale-boosting thing, because Manchester United players believe that the core and spiritual leaders of the team are still in the best condition!
For Manchester United, which is about to usher in the life-and-death battle of the Champions League, this is undoubtedly good news!
Due to the draw, Manchester United's schedule for the Champions League semi-finals this season is not very friendly, and they will play at home first.

Ambrosini missed the Champions League final in Istanbul two years ago due to injury, and this time he will have the opportunity to help AC Milan on the pitch.

Now Yin Jun once again won the best player of the season and the best rookie in the Premier League, which greatly boosted the morale of Manchester United and gave them greater confidence in the upcoming game.

When it comes to AC Milan, we have to talk about Kaka. Ambrosini spoke highly of the Brazilian midfielder: "His strength has been recognized by the world. He is a great player. From the first time he came to Milan Kaka has been improving from moment to moment and he has now grown into one of the best players in world football. Kaka has great talent and is a pleasure to play with, you just give him the ball and you You can start enjoying his performance."

In the previous quarter-finals, AC Milan was considered almost out, but under the unfavorable situation of 2:2 at home, the team eliminated Bayern by virtue of its own strength and tenacity, and broke into the semi-finals.

Maldini is the banner of AC Milan, he will appear in today's starting lineup, Ambrosini said: "For him, this is indeed a historic moment, he may not participate in this competition next year. Already. If he doesn't choose to retire next year, he might experience it again."

"It always makes me proud to play in the Champions League, especially the heavyweight events like the Champions League semi-finals and finals. I was lucky to be exposed to another level of high-level competition." Accepted by UEFA before the game In an interview with the official website of the United Nations, Ambrosini said this.

As for the semi-finals of the Champions League, Ambrosini has good memories. It was his key header against Manchester United that sent AC Milan to the final two years ago.

………………

AC Milan will play away against Manchester United tonight. At this moment tonight, Manchester City Stadium has become the focus of the whole of Europe.

"It's hard to find the right words to describe Maldini, he is unique, he gave everything for Milan, he has had some injuries this year, which is normal for a player of his age, his personality The power pairing is a huge motivation for this team, and even if he doesn't play at [-] percent, his performance is unmatched."

In this regard, Ambrosini said: "We didn't rush to attack at the beginning, and then Bayern started to press up and try to break our goal. We used the counter-attack space to score two goals. In the first round of the game, We didn't take our chances, but we proved in the end that we are better than Bayern."

It is not only Manchester United who are confident, but also AC Milan.

Ambrosini said with a smile: "That game was not exciting for AC Milan, but for me personally, that goal was really important. Manchester United is a very good team. They have created a lot for us. Trouble, that sense of accomplishment will stay with me for the rest of my life."

Old Trafford once gave AC Milan and Ambrosini good memories. He said: "That stadium is really special to us. We beat Manchester United there two years ago. Old Trafford Germany is indeed a great stadium, the atmosphere there is very special. It is a pity that because of the reconstruction, we cannot play there for the time being.”

"Manchester United definitely have some advantages at home, but their result against Roma is indeed a bit exaggerated. Manchester United is indeed strong, but it is not possible to win Roma by 7 goals. They are a bit lucky, and all the scoring opportunities have been converted into goals. The ball, this kind of situation is rare in football, of course they did take the initiative in that game."

Speaking of opponents, Ambrosini believes that their most threatening figure is undoubtedly Yin Jun.He said: "Yin is a great young player. He not only has great potential, but also has achieved great achievements. At his age, it is unbelievable. Of course I don't want He played to his full potential against us."

In this season's European Champions Cup semi-finals, England's teams occupy three seats. Does this mean that the level of English football is the highest?

"I don't think so," Ambrosini denied. "English football has the upper hand this year, but the average level of the English team is not as high as the average level of the Italian team. But England's highest level The team, this year is indeed slightly better than the best teams in other countries."
