Starting with Real Madrid kicking the midfielder

Chapter 55: Champions League Injuries Healed in the League 】

The British media began to praise Tottenham happily.

As for the Italian media, there are only criticisms against Milan and doubts about Allegri's tactical arrangements.

As if overnight, the team that won eight consecutive victories in Serie A was not AC Milan.

Obviously, Allegri used the same tactics at that time, and the media could only flatter him endlessly.

But after losing to Tottenham, all the voices of praise in the past turned into crusades.

Allegri made a certain explanation for his formation in the press conference after the game.

But in the eyes of the Italian journalists who were dissatisfied with the result at the moment, everything he said was just to excuse his mistakes.

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

Ibrahimovic, who missed an absolute chance, and the sleepwalking Robinho were severely criticized by reporters.

Instead of Pirlo, who had some discomfort in the calf muscles, Flamini started.

He was directly labeled as a "failing performance" because he failed to prevent the key figure Van der Vaart from Tottenham's two counterattacks.

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

He is not a pure defensive midfielder in the first place, and it is not appropriate to pin all the blame on Milan's lack of midfield sweeping ability today.

But the media already like to pull a player out alone to make a fuss to discredit and attract traffic.

Such methods are not surprising in the football public opinion circle.

However, Li Ang, who did not play for 1 minute in this game, became the most mentioned object by the media and fans after the game.

No way, in the league two and a half days ago, the contrast between Milan's almost impenetrable midfield and today's defensive coverage has dropped a lot is too stark.

If Li Ang can represent Milan in the Champions League, will Milan be able to beat Tottenham 100% at home?
No one dared to make such a guarantee.

But if Li Ang really appeared in this game.

Then Milan fans have every reason to believe.

At least they won't get such a tragic and failed result.

It is a pity that such an assumption is only an assumption and cannot be truly realized.

In the second round, Milan also needs to fight Tottenham without Li Ang in the backcourt.

But now, they need to put away their aggrieved thoughts and focus on Serie A again.

※※※

On the morning of February 2, after a day off, Milan's first-team players gathered in Milanello again.

Allegri made a mobilization speech before the official start of the training session.

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

After winning various heavyweight honors and experiencing the taste of failure in various competitions, this small setback is nothing more than a normal thing in their careers for them.

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

But more Milan players including Pirlo, Gattuso, Seedorf, Nesta and Ibrahimovic have regrouped and devoted themselves to a new round of training for the league.

Li Ang has long been mentally prepared.

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

After all, the Champions League game is constantly speeding up as soon as it is confronted, and no one will accompany you in this "turtle speed" offensive and defensive battle.

Moreover, the teams that have reached the knockout stage of the Champions League are all difficult characters who can ruthlessly fight for the chance to continue to advance.

If you dare to fight, people will dare to suppress you and attack wildly. If you are not careful, the main defensive team will always easily lose control of the rhythm of the game.

Without Li Ang, Milan's current midfield combination of a veteran and a reckless man will not be able to withstand the impact of the young and strong Tottenham midfielder.

It can only be said that fate is like this.

After Li Ang represented Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League this season, he will no longer be able to play for Milan.

This is not only Milan's regret, but why is it not Li Ang's regret?

After regrouping, on February 2th, Milan took another away game in the league and came to Verona.

Facing Naples, which had won Naples some time ago, and then drew Lazio's Serie A Chievo team.

Milan has fully respected and valued it from top to bottom.

All the main players started, and none of them fell. The starting lineup announced by Milan before the game still made the fans feel at ease.

After being hit in the Champions League, it is even more difficult to lose the chain easily in the league.

After all, even if the Champions League is lucky to comeback against Tottenham, whether it can go further depends on the signing luck, there are too many instability.

In contrast, Milan fans who have gradually come out of the discomfort still pay more attention to this season's league results.

The meat on the mouth can't just let it slip away like this.

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

Ren Chievo's home stadium, Bente Gotti Stadium, has a total capacity of just over [-], and it is difficult to be full when playing Serie A games.

But on February 2th, there were as many as 20 fans wearing Milan red and black jerseys at the Bente Gotti Stadium!

This not only sold out the away tickets, Milan fans also bought a lot of tickets from the home team fans.

Okay.

Chievo's home court instantly became a neutral stadium, and seeing the momentum of fans singing team songs on both sides before the game, Chievo may not necessarily be as big as Milan!

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

The fans are so strong, if they still can't win the victory, can it be justified? !

Ibrahimovic exploded first.

On the premise that Allegri once again decided to play a big offensive, Ibrahimovic opened the scoring for Milan in the No. 203 minute of the first half!

After receiving Seedorf's spiritual pass, Ibrahimovic opened his bow and set an arrow, and directly hit Chievo goalkeeper Sorrentino with a volley side shot.

Eight minutes later, Milan made a comeback. This time, Li Ang's sudden dribble forward disrupted the defensive deployment of Chievo's midfielder.

Upon seeing this, Seedorf stepped forward decisively to follow up.

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

And Seedorf, after making some adjustments to stop the ball, used a skillful shot to knock everyone off again!
After leading by two goals, the Milan players celebrated passionately at the Bente Gotti Stadium, which is almost their own home stadium!
The cloud that hung over Milan five days ago due to their defeat in the Champions League is starting to melt away.

At this moment, Allegri's pent-up mood for five days was fully vented.

He tore off his tie in a slightly exaggerated way on the sidelines, roaring and celebrating with the fans!
The wounds brought to Milan by the Champions League seem to have begun to heal slowly in the melting pot of Serie A.
