He started Ronaldo and Borriello on the front line. Adriano had a slight cold, and Li Ang chose to let him rest.
In the midfield, Modric got a rest and Marchisio got the start.
Figo also rested, and David Silva started.
Mata takes a rest and Stankovic starts.
On the defense line, Li Ang did not rotate too much. The central defender partnership of Samuel and Cordoba maintained Inter Milan's defensive strength to the maximum extent.
Inter Milan captain Zanetti started, but today, Liang arranged for Zanetti to appear at the left back position, and Evra got a rest.
Maicon serves as the starting right back.
As for the goalkeeper, the veteran Toldo got the chance to start today.
At the same time, AC Milan also carried out a certain degree of rotation.
Inzaghi got a rest, and Gilardino and Shevchenko partnered up front.
The most important thing is that Kaka did not start, which to a certain extent shows the importance AC Milan attaches to this game.
***********
This may be regarded as the most peaceful Milan derby in recent seasons.
In the first half of the game, Seedorf assisted Shevchenko to score, and AC Milan took the lead at halftime.
Not long after the start of the second half, Marchisio sent an assist. Ronaldo passed two people and then entered the penalty area. He succeeded with a low shot from a small angle!
One to one!
Inter Milan equalized the score!
In the next half hour or so of the game, both sides played relatively rationally and there were no big moves on the field.
Li Ang also deployed his troops one after another, and Aguero replaced Ronaldo.
Bonucci replaced Samuel.
For AC Milan, Seedorf and Shevchenko were also substituted to rest.
Both Ancelotti and Li Ang have a tacit understanding at this time. Both sides can accept a one-to-one draw. Their focus is on the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals next week.
When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, there was a burst of boos in the stands of San Siro. The home team and players may be able to accept the one-to-one score, but the fans are not very satisfied.
Naturally, I hope that my team can defeat Inter Milan at home, add trouble to Inter Milan, and avenge the away defeat.
***********
There was also rare harmony in the post-game press conference.
Li Ang even sent his blessings to AC Milan, wishing them good results in the game against Barcelona.
Ancelotti naturally reciprocated the favor and sent his blessings to Inter Milan.
Seeing such a harmonious scene, the reporters at the scene were a little uncomfortable. This was a Milan derby.
However, after the game, when the Italian media talked about the Milan derby, they had to admit that a one-to-one draw was an acceptable result for both sides.
"Perhaps, what satisfies Li Ang and Ancelotti the most is that no players were injured and they can respond to the Champions League semi-finals with the most complete lineup!" - These words of "Gazzetta dello Sport" can be said
It said that it expressed the feelings of the head coaches of both sides.
Only Tuttosport was dissatisfied with this, saying sarcastically that Inter Milan lost its spirit after winning the championship and AC Milan did not want to make progress.
However, both Milan teams ignored the Turin people's sarcasm.
And then, the people of Turin stopped saying anything, because in the subsequent game, Juventus was tied by Cagliari in the away game. Juventus, who had lost the championship, seemed a little depressed, and the whole game was...
If Juventus is not in shape, how can the media in Turin have the nerve to criticize others when Juventus is like this?!
***********
After the Milan derby with AC Milan in advance, the entire Inter Milan team set off for London to prepare for the first leg of the Champions League semi-final against Arsenal.
On the day they arrived in London, after the lunch break, the players were summoned by head coach Li Ang to the conference room to watch the game video.
What Li Ang played to the players was a video clip of Juventus' two-round contract with Arsenal.
Juventus was easily eliminated by Arsenal. In fact, this is not the first time Arsenal has lost against a Premier League team. Last season, they played against Liverpool, which was only ranked fifth in the Premier League. Juventus, the "boss" of Serie A, lost in the Premier League.
The away game caught the opponent off guard, and the final score of 1-2 was not too bad. However, after returning to home, Liverpool seemed to have no way to deal with Liverpool without Gerrard, and finally accepted to be eliminated 0-0.
situation.
Going back further, in the 2002/03 season, Juventus played Manchester United twice in the top 16 group stage. It is understandable that they lost 1-2 in the away game with a lot of injured players, but they lost 0 at home.
-3! Fortunately, there was no 1/8 finals at the time, and the top 16 were re-divided into four groups. Therefore, Juventus was able to qualify as second in the group and eventually won the Champions League runner-up. In the 1998/99 season, Juventus and
Manchester United had another encounter, drawing 1-1 away from home and losing 2-3 at home.
In addition to the Premier League giants, Juventus also played against Newcastle in the top 32 group stage of the 2002/03 season. Although they won 2-0 at home, against a team of Newcastle's level, Juventus also lost 0-0 away from home.
1 lost. It should be said that this is not a reflection of the team's true strength. Juventus does have "Anglophobia".
Of course, Li Ang does not want to help Juventus solve their 'Anglophobia'. He wants to use Juventus's failure as a reference to remind Inter Milan how to face Premier League teams.
***********
Teams in the Premier League all have a common characteristic: fast. The pace of the Premier League is the fastest among the five major leagues. Because of this, English players do not pay attention to and pursue possession of the ball. Technology can restrain strength and speed to a certain extent.
For example, Barcelona's victory over Chelsea this season and AC Milan's elimination of Manchester United last season are classic cases. The premise is that the midfielder must be able to control the ball and pass it down. I think the essence of English football's 4-4-2 is to pay attention to the midfield interception.
"Directly", if there is no interception in the midfield, the positional attack will be more of a simple routine of rushing away or kicking the ball from both sides. Mourinho modified Chelsea to 4-3-3.
Or maybe it's 4-5-1, but the essence is still the same.
Arsenal is an alternative in the Premier League. They pay attention to possession of the ball. However, in European competitions, Arsenal appears more defensively and counterattack. Capello also admitted after losing: "Arsenal's counterattack is very good."
Features.”
"Although we have never played against Arsenal, it is not without reference objects." Li Ang said.
"In Serie A, Roma is also a similar fast-attacking team, so we can see that Juventus's games against Roma in recent years have never been easy."
"Juventus' style of play does not pay attention to possession of the ball. It is precisely because of this that once the midfielder loses the ball, Arsenal's counterattack will be fatal. Cesc Fabregas's first goal came from Pires."
Stealing the ball from Vieira's feet, and three years ago, Juventus lost 0-3 to Manchester United. The second goal came from Giggs' interception of Conte's pass. Juventus was afraid of the English team's center
Pressing down the field and being afraid of "direct play" is not due to lack of strength, but due to characteristics. If Juventus does not rush to pursue away goals in this game and slows down the pace and plays steadily, the result may be better." Li Ang commented on Juventus.
After the game between Sri Lanka and the Premier League team, he continued.
"However, we are not afraid, because our football emphasizes ball control, and ball control tactics are a guarantee of goals when attacking, and correspondingly, when defending, they can also help the defense!"
"Arsenal is praised by the English as playing the most beautiful ball control football. This time, we want the English to see what real ball control is and what kind of football is the most beautiful!" Li Ang is confident.
Said fully.
He is really not afraid of playing against Arsenal.
