"Hi! Patton." During the rest time after training, Chen Zhuo closed the closet door and saw Ibrahimovic watching him.
There was a height difference of more than ten centimeters between the two of them. Chen Zhuo looked up at Ibrahimovic. He was very surprised. Apart from quarreling, the two of them had never had a good conversation. What the hell was this guy doing?
"Let's make peace, Patton." Ibrahimovic didn't know where he was going, so he stretched out his hand and said to Chen Zhuo.
Although he was confused, Chen Zhuo still stretched out his hand and shook Ibrahimovic. There is an old saying in China, which is that if you stretch out your hand, you will not hit the smiling person. No matter what Ibrahimovic thinks, it seems that he does not have any ill intentions.
Chen Zhuo didn't understand why Ibrahimovic and Chen Zhuo made peace, and neither did Allegri. However, during training, Ibrahimovic changed his previous selfish and domineering style of play, frequently making breakthroughs and pulling for Chen Zhuo and Fan.
Ni passed the ball well, which made Allegri very happy. The three of them can play in the front three. Allegri has a little more confidence in defeating Tottenham in the away game to advance to the next round.

Before the game, Allegri specially studied the tactical characteristics of Tottenham this season, and indeed found a big difference compared with the past. Redknapp, who is known as a genius who focuses on offensive tactics, joined Tottenham from Real Madrid this season.
The imported Dutch star Van der Vaart has become the core of Tottenham's tactics in the league and Champions League.
Different from the traditional 442 formation last season, with the addition of Van der Vaart this season, Redknapp began to make more and more use of the Dutch player's position changes to make tactical changes.
In the Champions League group stage, Tottenham had 3 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss in 6 games, ranking first in the group with 11 points. In 3 home games, they all defeated their opponents by 10 points, defeating Twente 4-1.
Defeated Inter Milan 3-1 and Hamburg 3-0. In the three away games, they drew 2-2 with Hamburg, drew 3-3 with Twente, and lost to Inter Milan 3-4.
Tottenham scored 18 goals and conceded 11 goals in 6 games, ranking first among the Champions League teams in terms of goals scored and conceded.
Redknapp's thinking can be clearly seen from the data. He is playing against each other no matter home or away. There are two formations. When Van der Vaart moves in from the right midfielder to become a second forward,
Peter Crouch acted as the tactical center, and the entire Tottenham lineup became 4-4-1-1. This formation was used four times in the Champions League, with three big wins at home and a 3-3 draw away from home.
Twente, this is the first one.
Another formation is 4-2-3-1, with Gareth Bale moving widely on the left, Alan Lennon on the right, and Van der Vaart in the center. This tactic was used in an away game against Hamburg.
, Inter Milan and the second half of the last game against AC Milan, Lao Lei used this tactic.
(three)
Compared with the lineup in the previous game, AC Milan has significantly strengthened its back line, with Nesta leading the line and forming the strongest back line combination with Antonini, Thiago Silva and Abate.
The 4-3-1-2 formation remains unchanged. The three defensive midfielders are Seedorf, Ambrosini and Boateng. This is also the strongest lineup that AC Milan can come up with now. Pirlo is injured.
Gattuso is suspended due to a red card. Van Bommel and Cassano have already represented their respective teams in the Champions League in the first half of the season and are therefore not eligible to play. Currently, this combination is Allegri's best choice.
The front three is still Chen Zhuo, Ruud van Nistelrooy and Ibrahimovic, with Pato, Robinho, Papa, Flamini and other players sitting on the bench.
Some people have already counted AC Milan's "curse" before the game. Since winning the Champions League in the 2007 season, AC Milan has continued its unbeaten record against Premier League teams in the past four seasons, and has scored 8 out of 16 games.
In 2008, Milan was eliminated by Arsenal, and in 2010 by Manchester United. This season, they were defeated by Tottenham Hotspur at home. The situation is not optimistic.

It rained all night, and in the 18th minute, Milan's main goalkeeper Abbiati collided with Nesta when he was defending a corner kick. Although in the end it was Ibrahimovic who returned to defense and used his long legs to hit the ball.

In the next corner kick, Amelia, who came on as a substitute, collided with Crouch fiercely. It took nearly 3 minutes of treatment before the team doctor judged that the game could continue. Here Allegri pulled Chen Zhuo and already explained
After a long while, if Amelia was injured again, then Chen Zhuo would have to put on gloves and stand in the goalkeeper's position.
In the end, Amelia continued to play, and Allegri also gave up on substitutions. He originally planned to replace Seedorf with Pato to strengthen the attack. Now Allegri is ready to wait and see if Amelia is
No, I can still persist.

Acting alone as the arrow, Pato, Chen Zhuo and Ibrahimovic began to press the Tottenham team high in the frontcourt.
The reason why Pato was replaced was because Allegri was relieved about Amelia's performance. The free kick fouled by Seedorf was 26 meters away from the goal. The kick taken by Van der Vaart was confiscated by Amelia.
