The Champions League knockout rounds will not be held until the end of February 2013, which is still early.

The topic of opponents in the knockout rounds passed quickly.

For each participating team, striving to gain more points in the domestic league is the most important thing.

After playing the last game of the Champions League group stage on December 5, Milan's continuous battle at this stage continues.

On December 9, Milan came to Turin again.

After playing two games in Turin in nine days, the Milan coach is already familiar with this city.

This time their opponent was another team from Turin City.

In the sixteenth round of Serie A, Milan visited the Stadio Olimpico in Turin to play against Turin.

This stadium, which can accommodate 27,000 people, has a strong football atmosphere.

Although the Turin team has performed poorly this season and is currently only two points above the relegation zone, this has not affected the enthusiasm of the fans at all.

In this city, the number of fans of the Turin team is definitely no less than that of Juventus.

Even against Milan, which is ranked first, Turin fans are not afraid at all.

The Turin team's anthem echoed in the stands, and the cheers and shouts never stopped.

Allegri on the sidelines let out a sigh of relief.

"This game is not that easy to play."

Allegri is right, Milan did encounter a lot of trouble in this game.

Although Milan had no main players in the Champions League group stage, Allegri did not send all the main players in this game.

Because four days later, they will usher in the Italian Cup match.

In the case of a third-line battle, Milan must adjust its lineup and combination more carefully.

Today, the combination of Long Yu and Robinho is on the front line, with Shaaraoui playing as an attacking midfielder, and behind him is the combination of Chang Ming, Montolivo and Ambrosini.

Facing the weaker but more motivated Turin team, Allegri sent out more attacking players.

Ambrosini was in the midfield, and Chang Ming also passed the midfield.

But despite this, Milan is still hard to find a goal.

Turin's tactics were very obvious today. For a period of time, their formation was simply 7-0-3!

Completely abandoning the organization of the midfield, hoarding heavy defense in the backcourt, taking big shots when there is an opportunity, and leaving it to the three forwards to rush!

Although the three forwards are average in strength, they each have their own characteristics.

In the opening stage, although Milan pressed Turin, Torino's occasional counterattacks were also very threatening.

Especially today, Milan's defense was in average shape. Bonera and Zapata each made a mistake, which almost caused a single strike from the opponent's forward.

Fortunately, Abbiati was in excellent condition and saved one after another the opponent's shots in the penalty area.

Facing Turin's sharp attack, Milan's offense did not dare to press too hard.

Until the end of the first half, the score was still 0-0.

During the halftime break, Chang Ming and Long Yu walked in the players' tunnel together.

"Xiaolong, what happened to you in the first half? Two great shots missed."

"My foot feels a little bad today. The opponent's defender is pressing too hard, so it's difficult to concentrate."

"We need to score goals now."

"Like this in the second half, I create opportunities for you and you move forward."

"Opening?"

"Opening."

"Opening!"

"Opening!"

The two brothers discussed the countermeasures and greeted their teammates in the locker room.

At the beginning of the second half, Milan took the lead in serving.

Long Yu and Robinho passed the ball to each other and the ball was knocked backwards.

Chang Ming and Ambrosini controlled the rhythm in the backcourt.

At this time, Milan's attack group has already gone up!

Long Yu, Robinho and Shaarawi all rushed towards the Turin penalty area!

The two full-backs Antonini and Abate also went up!

Montolivo sprints along the middle!

Six arrows were fired in unison, and Turin was caught off guard for a moment!

Chang Ming made a long pass, and the ball went straight to the right side of the penalty area!

Robinho was in good condition today, but he missed a lot of opportunities because he was a little impatient.

After getting instructions during the halftime break, he dribbled continuously on the right wing to fight for opportunities!

Knock across the restricted area!

There are three players around Long Yu!

Long Yu couldn't forcefully turn around and shoot!

Shalawi on the left was also targeted!

Montolivo, who was inserted in the back seat, stretched out his hand and demanded!

Long Yu responded decisively!

Turin's midfielder squeezed Montolivo hard!

Don’t hesitate to foul!

Montolivo staggered!

However, Long Yu's pass seemed to be a little too big, and the ball rolled towards the right of the center.

Montolivo did not receive the ball.

But at this moment, a figure sprinted quickly!

Milan 21!

It’s Chang Ming!

Chang Ming has been accelerating since passing the ball to Robinho!

The pass that Long Yu just passed was not for Montolivo at all, but for his brother!

Ming dynasty!

The back row jumps in to catch the ball and continues to lead into the penalty area!

No defender is marking him!

As soon as he crossed the penalty area line, he didn't hesitate!

Low volley!

The ball went straight into the near corner of the goal!

The ball went in!

1 to 0!

Milan finally broke the deadlock!

In the first half, he was disturbed by the opponent's random punches and was unable to score.

The second half just started and the deadlock was broken!

In the 46th minute of the game, Milan scored!

This goal brought thunderous applause from the visiting team's stands!

In the live broadcast room, the host was also applauding.

"For many non-Milan fans, it is difficult for them to understand the difficulty of this game.

"After all, one is at the top of the list and the other is near the relegation zone. There is no comparison at all.

"Milan should win easily.

"After all, they could even win against Juventus nine days ago, let alone a small Torino team?

“But the actual situation is not like this.

"Today Torino's defense was very tenacious, and their offense also gave Milan a headache.
