Chapter 160 Hit Encounter!
"Drip, drip, drip~~~"

October 12, San Siro Stadium.

The sixth round of the Champions League group stage came to an end.

On the big screen in mid-air, the score is very clear:

AC Milan 0
Zenit 1
Although the outcome of this game is irrelevant, Allegri is still deep in thought.

[I did make a big rotation of the starting lineup, but our strength is not too weak, how can we lose to them at home? 】

He glanced at the bench and continued to think:
[The only reason that can be explained is that Awei did not enter the big list...]

[The 'Awei dependence' mentioned by those Chinese reporters...couldn't be true, could it? 】
-
"Forza Milan!"

Despite the team's defeat, the fans in the South Stand were not too upset.

They all know that this game is completely for the benefit of the substitute players!
The old captain Ambrosini, Wannian's substitute Acerbi, Emmanuel Sen, Flamini, and Mesba all got the chance to start in this game!
When the team was in a backward situation, the head coach was not only not in a hurry, but instead sent Petania, a youth player born in 1995!

This young man is only 17 years old!
-
Here AC Milan lost 0:1 to Zenit, and on the other side Malaga also played mediocrely, only drawing with Anderlecht 2:2.

Malaga, who got a draw, unexpectedly won the first place in this group!

AC Milan can only rank second, but this result surprised many media and fans.

However, compared with the accidents of other groups, Milan's defeat pales in comparison.

For example, in Group B, Arsenal lost to the Celtics 1:2, and also handed over the top spot in the group to Schalke 04!

Gunners fans are already trembling!
[This year is the second place in the group, and the opponent in the knockout round will have to choose between the two old enemies of Barcelona and Bayern again? 】

Another example is the situation in Group D, which surprised everyone even more:

Borussia Dortmund, which was originally only a team in the fourth tier, beat the defending champion and the king of the Champions League, Real Madrid, with an unbeaten record of 4 wins and 2 draws, and won the first place in the group!

However, Blue Moon Manchester City, previously known as the upstart in football and the new champion of the Premier League, has 3 draws, 3 losses and no wins, and was dismal out of the group with the bottom of the group!
-

The Premier League, Serie A, and Portuguese Super League each have two teams advance.
-

AC Milan went away to challenge Torino, who is ranked 14th in the standings.

It is also a coincidence that their opponent Juventus in the 15th round is from the city of Turin. This is Milan's pursuit of the Turin team!

Su Changwei, who hadn't participated in the official competition for two weeks, was a little out of touch for a long time, and his performance in this game was mediocre.

In 75 minutes of playing, he shot a total of 3 times, but he didn't hit the goal frame once, and only handed in an assist.

Allegri gave a scientific explanation to the outside world:

"Awei consumed too much in the game against Juventus!"

"He encountered the opponent's tight defense, and it is already very good to be able to send an assist!"

"He is only 18 years and 6 months old, and his state has fluctuated, isn't it normal?"

"Even Ronaldo and Messi can't score 10 points every game!"

But Su Changwei knew very well:

[This game was really average. 】

[No way, who let me get Yepes! 】

This big brother in the back line can only bring a little bonus to his jumping ability!

He is already very content to be able to play to this level only by his own strength! -
In this game, Milan still had a bad start. The Turin team scored two goals in the first 30 minutes and took the lead early.

What's more, Misfortunes never come singly, Milan's midfielder, the Dutch iron waist De Jong, was injured in the first half and looked very serious.

Such a situation made Allegri couldn't help but doubt again:
[Ah Wei started the game today, but why are we still behind? 】

[The previous matches, were they just a coincidence? 】

Fortunately, his doubts did not last long, Su Changwei completed a cross from the wing, assisting Kaka to pull back a goal!
In the 40th minute, Robinho suddenly rejuvenated and evened the score with a low shot from the far corner after passing two players!

In the second half, Nocerino, Shalawi, and Pazzini made contributions respectively, locking the score at 5:2!
-

As the runner-up of the league last season, they qualified for 4 rounds of byes. In this game, they have entered the round of 16, which is equivalent to the quarter-finals.

The opponent is Reggina from Serie B, and Allegri has no reason to send all the main players.

The two midfielders who have been recuperating since joining the team - Muntari and Strusser, finally returned from injury in this game and started together.

Abate and Antonini are also bedridden for a long time, and they are responsible for the two flanks of the defense line in this battle.

Robinho, who has recovered in recent form, continued to start, leading a group of substitutes and youth players to launch a fierce attack on the opponent!

In this one-sided offensive drill, the 17-year-old Niang became the most concerned player. In the 79th minute, he received a breakthrough cross from Emmanuel Sen. Unmarked, he calmly pushed Shoot the dead corner and set the score at 3:0!

Su Changwei once again served as a water dispenser manager for 90 minutes!
However, his state of mind is very peaceful, and he has no complaints at all:
"As long as Milan can keep winning, I am willing to sit on the bench until I retire!"
