Chapter 512 Breaking the goal in 21 seconds (please subscribe for the next update!)

In Scotland in November, the temperature is around 16 degrees Celsius. The weather is neither cold nor hot, which is very suitable for ball games.

In another month, the weather will become even more severe.

After defeating AC Milan in the third round of the Champions League group stage, Rangers became the focus of Europe.

In the death group of Group E of the Champions League, a little-known team from Scotland is level with AC Milan on points, beating Lyon and Stuttgart for second place in the group.

This performance made Rangers the talk of the town.

Of course, there are many topics, but whether it can successfully qualify is also a problem.

After all, there are many teams that performed well in the first three rounds of the Champions League group stage, but failed to play well in the last three rounds, resulting in a complete loss.

But obviously, Rangers are not among them.

Their head coach said that starting now is a new challenge and they need to be more closely connected in order to get a chance to qualify.

That’s right!

Rangers are already thinking about qualifying.

At first, they didn't have this idea.

But after three rounds, after ranking second in the group and tying points with AC Milan, some bold ideas and ambitions still began to grow.

On November 7th, the entire AC Milan team arrived in Glasgow, Scotland.

When the Milan team arrived, they were naturally the focus of the media.

"Suker! Is Milan confident in defeating Rangers this time?"

"Can you talk about the game in the third round?"

"When playing away from home, do Milan want to win or draw?"

The media looked like they were watching the fun.

Obviously, they hope to see AC Milan fall even more completely. If Suker is fucked by a certain player again, it will be even more exciting.

Su Ke ignored the media and followed the team all the way to the bus.

"These guys are so disgusting!"

Pato complained while sitting on the bus.

Pato was not selected for the squad and was unable to play in the game.

Although he had registered to qualify for the Champions League at the beginning of the season, due to reasons in Brazil, he still had to wait until January to play.

The reason why Milan took him to participate in the game was mainly to let him experience the atmosphere of the Champions League in advance.

It also helped that he hit the ground running in the second half of the season.

Ancelotti very much wants to accelerate Pato's growth, which can also give today's Milan great offensive support.

The bus drives to your hotel.

The entire Milan team made check-in arrangements under the camera of the media.

"Why should I live with him?"

Suk pointed at Pato, who was carrying the suitcase and looked confused, and protested: "I ask for reassignment!"

Ancelotti looked at Suk: "Don't you take good care of him? It's just right for you two to share a room."

Su Ke: "I ask to change rooms!"

Ancelotti directly rejected Suker's protest.

In desperation, Suk can only share a room with Pato.

"Do you snore when you sleep?"

Suk sat on his bed and looked at Pato and asked.

Pato blinked: "I don't snore."

Suk nodded: "I have a problem. If someone snores while I'm sleeping, I'll sleepwalk and beat him up!"

"ah?"

Pato shook his head quickly and said, "I don't snore!"

He was still mumbling what was wrong with this.

"Have a good rest tonight, forget it, just do whatever you want, just don't disturb my sleep!"

When he thought that Pato didn't have to play, Su Ke didn't care.

On his first night in Scotland, Su Ke slept soundly.

Pato does not snore, which also makes Suk's sleep quality very good.

In the afternoon, the AC Milan team arrived at Ibrox Stadium for a stomping activity.

The quality of the entire lawn is much worse than that of San Siro, but we can't blame the Rangers. After all, the hardware facilities of the wealthy teams are already very good.

The grass is a bit hard and it feels a bit harsh when you step on it, but it's still bearable.

Suker and Kaka conducted several passing and receiving training without landing.

After a while, Pato also joined in, and the three practiced for a while before ending the activity.

After returning to the hotel, Ancelotti hosted the meeting again, a simple tactical meeting.

The media are speculating on Milan's attitude towards this game.

But for Milan, they have only one goal, and that is to win.

In order to win, Ancelotti no longer used new tactics, but directly moved out of the 4-3-2-1 Christmas tree formation.

The change in this formation is very telling.

Although the new tactics have a bit more potential.

But for now, the Christmas tree formation is still Milan's trick to keep the bottom of the box.

In the evening, the Ibrox Stadium is brightly lit.

A large number of Rangers fans flocked to the stadium.

Based on their draw with AC Milan in the third round, this once aroused the enthusiasm of the fans.

The entire stadium was filled with fans, and many Glasgow Rangers fans gathered around the outside of the stadium.

They thought they could draw with AC Milan on the road.

It is really possible to win at home!

Amid waves of cheers, the two sides ended the warm-up session.

After completing the final preparations, players from both sides came to the player tunnel to prepare for entry.

AC Milan's lineup is very strong at first glance.

Even in order to win the game, Suker once again took away the position of the left midfielder and let Ronaldo serve as the center.

However, Ronaldo's condition dropped off a cliff at this time.

Except for his shooting skills, he is really not a top league player in other aspects.

AC Milan also wants to send Ronaldo away after the end of this season.

The starting lineups of both sides are as follows:

Rangers (4-4-2):

Goalkeeper: McGregor.

Defenders: Cuellar, Papachi, David Weir, McCulloch.

Midfielder: Charlie Adam, Hutton, Kevin Thompson, Barry Ferguson.

Forwards: Daniel Cousin, Nacho Novo.

AC Milan (4-3-2-1):

Goalkeeper: Karachi.

Defenders: Cafu, Nesta, Simunic, Jankulovski.

Midfielder: Gattuso, Pirlo, Ambrosini.

Forwards: Kaka, Ronaldo, Suker.

AC Milan's lineup is well prepared at first glance.

Based on the draw in the third round, the Rangers' morale was greatly boosted at this time and they were thinking about winning the game at home.

But AC Milan will not let them get what they want.

AC Milan's lineup was set up to directly suppress the opponent in the first half.

The striker combination of Kaka-Ronaldo-Suker is currently Milan's most threatening combination.

If it is the second half of the season, Pato can play, and the paper strength will be one point better.

Kaka-suk-pato!

This is what Ancelotti thinks is Milan's new frontcourt trio.

These three people are all capable of carrying, sudden and shooting.

Cooperation on a small scale is also good.

After Su Ke retreated, Kaká and Pato were also able to move forward and press forward.

Suker and Kaka also have the ability to organize and advance, which greatly increases Milan's offensive threat.

Unfortunately, Pato is not available yet.

At this time, Pato was sitting in the stands behind the bench.

Due to his current inability to compete, Pato can only wait for the competition in January.

But at this time, looking at the heat wave surging throughout the stadium and the mechanical arm with a camera swinging in the corner of the stadium, these are all telling Pato that this is the Champions League stadium he dreams of.

"This is awesome!"

Pato's eyes were full of yearning.

In two months' time, he can stand on this field.

Beep! !

While Pato was watching, the whistle sounded in the field.

The whole game has begun!

Pato shouted towards the court: "Milan!! Come on!!"

As soon as he finished shouting, he saw Simunic suddenly take a long pass and hoist the ball directly into the Rangers half.

Ronaldo was fighting with the opponent's defender, and the ball hit the shoulders of the two and flew towards the left rib area.

And there, Su Ke had already reached the landing point first.

I saw Su Ke moving the ball towards the inside.

This action attracts the attention of opposing defenders.
