host must win

Chapter 878
The San Siro football market is extremely hot. According to the news before the game, even though it has been raining since noon in Milan, the San Siro stadium will still be full for this game, and there will be as many as 800 people in the stands. Fans came to the scene to watch the game, only a very small number of them were fans of the visiting team Manchester United, and they were allocated to the most corner area.

This is also the consistent practice of all Champions League home teams.

When Manchester United arrived at the San Siro Stadium by bus in the rain, the AC Milan fans at the scene gave them a note of Mawei: when the players got off the bus, they were deafeningly booed.

But this has long been a habit for Manchester United.

As the captain of the team, Yin Jun was at the back of the team. After sending his teammates into the player channel one by one, he turned and left by himself. At the same time, he did not forget to encourage his teammates loudly: "Don't be nervous, they The louder the boos, the better we performed."

After arriving in the locker room of the visiting team, Yin Jun took his teammates to pack up their things and went directly to the San Siro Stadium for the final training before the match.

At this time, the big stands of the San Siro Stadium in the storm were already crowded with people. The scene and momentum were extremely spectacular, not inferior to the old Trafford.

Of course, Manchester United players have encountered such a scene in the past two years.In the past two seasons, when Manchester United visited the San Siro Stadium, this European five-star stadium that can accommodate [-] fans was also full of seats.

………………

Ambrosini walked towards Yin Jun quickly, and stretched out his hand to greet him from a distance: "Yin, welcome to San Siro again!"

A few hours before the game, Maldini, who suffered a knee injury in the first leg, announced that he would not be able to play, so the vice-captain Ambrosini will be the captain of AC Milan.

"Thank you." Yin Jun smiled and shook hands with him.

"You've had a great season, but like the previous two seasons, you can't win here," laughed Ambrosini.

For Manchester United, the San Siro Stadium is definitely not a place for them to have fond memories.In the previous matches between the two sides, AC Milan won all four home games.

In the 1957-1958 season, the two sides played against each other for the first time in the Champions League. Although Manchester United won 2:1 at home, at the San Siro Stadium, the Red Devils suffered a 0:4 fiasco.

In the 1968-1969 season, Manchester United, aiming to defend the Champions League, once again met AC Milan in the semi-finals. Although they won 1:0 at home, they lost 0:2 at the San Siro Stadium and missed the final of the season. missed.

The third match was in the 2004-2005 season. Manchester United won 3:1 at Old Trafford, but lost 0:2 at San Siro, which made them miss Istanbul that year, and the dream of three consecutive Champions League titles was shattered. .

In last season's Champions League quarter-finals, Manchester United once again lost 1:3 at the San Siro Stadium. Fortunately, after returning to Old Trafford, they won 2:0 and finally reported their revenge a season ago. .

But in any case, it can't change the embarrassing status quo of Manchester United's hard-to-find victory at the San Siro Stadium.

The most embarrassing thing is that Manchester United conceded 4 goals in 12 games at the San Siro Stadium, but only scored 1!
awful!That's horrible!
………………

From the perspective of the right time and place, the humid and rainy Manchester undoubtedly made Manchester United more adaptable to the rainy battle, so Manchester United can be regarded as a small victory in terms of time and place; Lost badly in this round.

Yin Jun was very serious in his heart, because in the away game, Manchester United had already lost in the Renhe game!
Ambrosini came to greet Yin Jun, and deliberately mentioned that Manchester United lost at the San Siro Stadium in the previous two seasons. It is undoubtedly a psychological warfare, trying to affect Yin Jun's mood.

Regarding the opponent's psychological warfare, although Yin Jun was in a serious mood, his face seemed to be nonchalant. He shrugged and said, "We don't need a victory, we just need a draw."

Ambrosini was taken aback for a moment, and then said, "Okay, see you in the game."

"it is good."

After the two shook hands again, Ambrosini quickly ran back to his team's training area.

………………

Yin Jun is observing the warm-up situation of AC Milan players. For the time being, he still can't see clearly the formation of AC Milan players, but there are a few players who will definitely play.Such as Ambrosini, such as Kaka...

Yin Jun saw Kaka from a distance, and the Brazilian waved his right hand at him as a greeting.

Just talking to Ambrosini, Yin Jun is actually spreading smoke.Because in the eyes of ordinary people, Yin Jun said that Manchester United only needs a draw, which means that Manchester United will adopt conservative tactics.

Yin Jun is the captain of Manchester United and the core of the offense. His words are still very misleading.

Yin Jun can feel that AC Milan players have a very strong self-confidence.

This is naturally the reason why they beat Manchester United at home four times in a row before, and each time they won Manchester United by at least two goals, even in the first two seasons when Manchester United was in full swing, it was still the same result.

At home, AC Milan has magical powers.Not just against Manchester United, they have played against all English teams here, and they have not lost a game. The record is 7 wins and 5 draws.

However, Manchester United's record in Italy is very dismal.They have visited the Apennine Peninsula 13 times, and the results are 2 wins, 1 draw and 10 losses, which is extremely miserable!

………………

After the last training session before the game in the wind and rain, when the Manchester United players returned to the locker room, the Manchester United coaching staff had already got AC Milan's starting lineup.

The goalkeeper is Dida, the defense is Oddo, Karadze, Nesta and Jankulovski, and the midfielder is 5 people, namely Seedorf, Pirlo, Gattuso, Ambrosini and Card Card, Inzaghi single arrow forward.

Most of this lineup is within Manchester United's expectations. The only surprise is that Ancelotti did not arrange for Gilardino to start, but let the veteran Inzaghi serve as a single arrow.

This is to play a defensive counterattack at home?
Both Ferguson and Queiroz were a little surprised and couldn't figure out what Ancelotti was thinking.

Could it be that Manchester United won the first leg at Manchester City Stadium, but AC Milan?

Or is Ancelotti really stubborn and wants to win a small 1:0 victory at home?
Although the opponent's formation was somewhat beyond Manchester United's expectations, it was impossible for Manchester United to change their tactics when it came time for the battle.

At this time, they can only say "I'll come all the way, I'll just go all the way".

Therefore, after some hesitation, Ferguson still said: "According to our previous arrangement, we will grab a wave first after the opening of this game."

"In 10 minutes, if you can score, you will score, if you can't score, we will retreat!"

"AC Milan must never be given a chance, especially after conceding a goal."
