After being rejected, I became Shi Yijiao

Chapter 64
As an Italian team, in fact, the pressure of Milan's multi-line battle is not as great as in some leagues, such as England.

In England, there is an extra League Cup, and whether it is the League Cup or the FA Cup, the Premier League teams join the battle in the third round.

As for AC Milan, as the champions of Serie A last season, they directly entered the fifth round of the Coppa Italia, which is the round of 16. In this way, the total number of games is much less than that of the English team.

But even so, Pan Yi still hopes to make reasonable personnel arrangements according to Milan's schedule to ensure that Milan can win the most critical games-this is actually consistent with everyone's strategy when playing FM games.

Especially the Champions League, which Pan Yi values ​​most.

In the previous draw, Milan drew a fairly good opponent-Arsenal.

Since winning the championship undefeated in the 03-04 season, Arsenal has more and more opponents in the Premier League, from Chelsea to Manchester City, coupled with the already strong Manchester United, and the slowly recovering Liverpool, and there are even sudden appearances. Coming to Leicester City...

As a result, Arsenal have never been able to win the championship since then, and they can only compete for four every year.

And after coach Wenger retired and left the team, Arsenal couldn't even make it to the top four.

As far as this season, that is, the 2011-2012 season is concerned, Arsenal's strength is actually not bad. The team has stars in their prime like Van Persie and Rosicky, as well as Ramsey and Walcott. Young rookies, and even King Henry who came back on loan from the New York Red Bulls.

But compared to opponents like Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​and Bayern, Pan Yi is of course more willing to touch Arsenal.

It is now January, and the Champions League round of 1 knockout matches will start in February, so Pan Yi has to plan ahead and prepare for these two home and away games.

……

On January 1, in the fifth round of Italy, that is, the round of 18, AC Milan won Novara 16:2 at home and advanced smoothly.

This match was not as easy as imagined.

Novara, a newly promoted team struggling in Serie A, showed momentum in the Coppa Italia, drawing 90:1 with Milan in the regular 1 minutes.

Finally, in the 110th minute of overtime, Milan scored the winning goal by Salah and eliminated their opponents.

And in the 1th round of Serie A on January 21, which was also a "back-to-back" match between the two teams, Novara suddenly became vulnerable and lost 19:0 at home to Milan.

This is their 11th loss this season, and this performance also keeps them at the bottom of the standings.

Next, there was another wave of tense and deja vu schedule.

AC Milan will first face Lazio in the quarter-finals of the Coppa Italia, and then return to Serie A to play Cagliari, and then face Lazio immediately.

Playing against the same opponents in a row will inevitably make the Milan soldiers feel exhausted.

Fortunately, AC Milan still played its due level, 3:1 in the Coppa Italia, 2:0 in Serie A to achieve the triple kill of Lazio in the season, and the other game was a 3:0 victory over Cagliari.

In these few games, Ibrahimovic, who came back after the suspension, was in a brave state and scored five goals in a row.

In the Serie A scorer list, after 20 rounds, he topped the list with 15 goals.

This is what he achieved after missing five or six games!

Behind him is Inter Milan's Argentine striker Milito with 11 goals.

Then there is Di Natale of Udinese, 10 goals.The Italian veteran's performance is the key to Udinese's good results this season.

Tied with him is Naples' Uruguayan striker Cavani, who also has 10 goals.

Although these strikers are also in good condition, they are still a bit behind Ibrahimovic.

So another goal of Pan Yi this season is to let Ibrahimovic get the Serie A Golden Boot, or even the best player award.

After all, if you want to win the team honor, you can't let go of the individual honor!
However, in the next game, Milan once again ushered in a "back-to-back" game!
They will meet Naples consecutively in the 21st round of the league and the semi-finals of the Coppa Italia.

In fact, there are so many consecutive matches against the same opponent in Italy. Those who are familiar with Serie A know that this is actually not uncommon.

The reason is simple. Last season, the top eight were directly sent to the top 16, which in itself greatly reduced the room for upsets of low-level teams.

And the other eight teams that can reach the top 16 are often all Serie A teams.

So when it comes to the round of 16, it is basically a duel between Serie A teams. This is completely different from the English FA Cup, where teams from the English Championship, League One or even lower levels often go to the later stages of the game.

When the Coppa Italia reaches the semi-finals and finals, fans will find that basically every year, those teams, such as Juventus, Inter Milan, and at most Roma, Lazio, and Naples, are all old faces. There will be other teams.

Of course, there is another reason for this, that is, the low-level teams in Serie A are not as competitive as England.

After all, like many English Championship teams are actually very rich, they can also buy good stars and let them compete with Premier League teams in the FA Cup.

Teams in League One, League Two or lower levels often regard it as the most important game of a season in the FA Cup.

At this time, when they encounter a Premier League team that fights on multiple lines, is a little absent-minded, or trains newcomers, it is possible to win by upset.

In any case, AC Milan was still affected by "aesthetic fatigue" in the two games against Naples.

They were first tied 1:1 by Naples at home in Serie A, and then another 1:1, shaking hands with them in the first round of the Italian semi-final.

Yes, the Italian semi-final is different from the previous games, it will be played in two rounds.

In other words, Milan will play four games against Naples this season, and it really makes me sick to see the opponent's players.

The opponents are the same, and the process and results of these two games are also mirror images.

Both Ibrahimovic and Cavani scored goals in the two games.

The two great fronts can be regarded as relatively strong.

Whether it is the Serie A scorer list or the Coppa Italia, we must compete.

In these two match days, the two did not decide the outcome, and the suspense will be left until the second round of the Coppa Italia semi-finals one and a half months later.

In the 22nd round of the league, after AC Milan beat Udinese, the dark horse of the season, 2:1 in an away game, they finally ushered in an opponent who could lift their spirits.

This is also Pan Yi's most valued opponent in the near future.

A veteran team from the Premier League——

Gunners Arsenal!
