There are still ten minutes left in the game, excluding injury time. The Milan team needs to score two goals in a row within these 10 minutes, and also ensure that the opponent cannot score again. This requirement is somewhat difficult for the Milan team.
White Hart Lane in North London is also the famous "Devil's Home Stadium". Since the birth of the Premier League in 1992, the top players have not gotten much advantage here. For example, the poor Manchester United team has been suffering from the "White Hart Lane Curse"
Troubled, it was not until April 2003, the 11th year of the Premier League, that they defeated the home team on this ground for the first time. Liverpool had only won twice at White Hart Lane in 18 seasons, and its local rival Arsenal had only won three games.
Contest.
The only exception is Chelsea. Counting this season, Chelsea have been undefeated at White Hart Lane for 18 consecutive years!
Milan and Tottenham rarely meet. The last match between the two sides even dates back 40 years ago, in the UEFA Cup semi-finals of the 1971-72 season. Paolo Cudicini, who was the goalkeeper for Milan at that time, is now Tottenham's substitute goalkeeper Carlo.
?Cudicini’s father, Carlo Cudicini, was not even born at that time, and the game ended 1-1.

Under the favorable situation, Redknapp also adopted a conservative stance, adjusting the 4-2-3-1 formation to 4-5-1, strengthening the defense in the middle and waiting for opportunities to counterattack, as long as the Milan team is not allowed to attack within 10 minutes
Score two goals in a row and Tottenham will advance smoothly.
After adjusting the formation and substituting Van der Vaart, who had received heavy attention from the Milan team, when the Dutchman limped off the field, White Hart Lane gave him warm applause.
Allegri on the sidelines made a series of gestures to the players on the court. The broadcaster couldn't understand what it was, but the core content must be a request to strengthen the attack. This was also the last chance.
Robinho posed a threat with his first touch of the ball after coming on the field. He received a pass from Chen Zhuo inside the penalty area and made a sudden shot. The ball missed the left goal post.
In the 83rd minute, Ibrahimovic received a cross from Chen Zhuo 25 meters in front of the goal, turned around and volleyed hard, and the ball went high.
Allegri shouted loudly, signaling Chen Zhuo to strengthen his long-range shots. In this game, Chen Zhuo was always surrounded by Tottenham players and made small moves. Chen Zhuo never found many shooting opportunities.
In the 85th minute, Abate made a pass from the right, and Ibrahimovic nodded the ball to the other side. Robinho's volley shot from 7 meters in front of the goal was blocked by Dawson. Then in the corner kick, Nesta took the ball.
Chen Zhuo's corner kick went towards the center with a header from the left. Ibrahimovic pushed Dawson away and hooked 7 meters in front of the goal into the lower right corner. However, the first goal was invalidated due to a foul.
In the 88th minute, Ruud van Nistelrooy was tripped in front of Tottenham's goal. The referee awarded AC Milan a free kick. This penalty made Tottenham players very dissatisfied. Goalkeeper Gomez, who performed well in this game, even rushed to the goalkeeper.
After arguing with the referee, the referee just calmed down the matter and did not show a yellow card from beginning to end. After the chaotic scene subsided, Chen Zhuo took the free kick from a meter away and scored in the corner, ending Gomez's magic.
After the goal was scored, when the Milan team ran back to the midfield with the ball, Tottenham made noisy arguments with the referee and linesman. In fact, this was a way of delaying time. In the end, goalkeeper Gomez applied for a yellow card.
The situation gradually subsided, and at this time the first minute of injury time had passed, and the entire injury time was only 5 minutes.

After entering the injury time period, Tottenham's tactics completely changed to delaying time. Shortly after the ball was served, Tottenham made two tactical substitutions and delayed the game for more than one minute and nearly two minutes.
The French referee, who was very strict throughout the game, had to issue consecutive yellow cards to warn Tottenham players at the last moment.
"Hi! The coach has a new gesture for you!" Robinho pushed Ibrahimovic. Ibrahimovic turned his head and looked over. Allegri was shouting the names of Ibrahimovic and Chen Zhuo on the sideline.
"Let Patton fight for the top, and Zlatan go to the back! Tactic No. 2! Tactic No. 2!" Allegri shouted.
Chen Zhuo, who was about to take a corner kick, stood with his hands on his hips and stepped on the ball next to the corner kick, calling for Abate to come over and take over his serve. Tottenham coach Lao Lei also called out and arranged for his players to mark Chen Zhuo, who was about to go for the top.
.
Chen Zhuo suddenly kicked the ball towards Abate... The No. 2 tactic was not for Patton to fight for the top and Zlatan to go forward. That sentence was shouted to Tottenham! The real No. 2 tactic is a tactical corner kick!
After the jogging Abbate caught the ball, he immediately passed the ball back against the wall. Chen Zhuo, who ran out of the corner flag area with a meteoric stride, just finished his five steps! He hit the ball hard with his left foot, and the ball flew directly inward.
Towards the goal!
At this time, inside Tottenham, two tall men over 1.9 meters tall, Ibrahimovic and Ruud van Nistelrooy, squeezed Gomez in the middle like a sandwich pancake. Gomez struggled to grab Ibrahimovic in front of him.
Trying to push him away with his arms, Ibrahimovic raised his hands high and yelled, falling down like an iron tower and hitting Gomez...
The referee hesitated for a moment. This ball was too obvious a foul. It would be inappropriate not to call it. However, if Milan were given a penalty kick at this time, it would obviously cause huge controversy...
There is no need to argue, because the ball has already been scored, and Chen Zhuo's long-range shot went straight into the blind corner and scored!

After scoring the goal, Chen Zhuo clenched his fists and ran towards the bench like a plane. Allegri stood on the sidelines laughing and stretched out his hand to hug Chen Zhuo. The players on the field also chased after him.
Chen Zhuo ran towards Allegri, and Fanny reached out to pull Ibrahimovic up. The two laughed and hugged each other...
This "Tactics No. 2" is a corner kick tactic designed by Allegri very early, but Ibrahimovic refused to cooperate from the beginning to the end. Until the last joint training before this game, I don't know why Ibrahimovic took the initiative.
He went to Chen Zhuo to make peace, and then took the initiative to find Allegri and expressed his willingness to be this "human shield".
This tactic is not complicated, but the prerequisite is that there must be a sudden surname, no one on the other side interferes with Chen Zhuo's five-step run-up during the wall-hitting pass, and the defensive players at the front and rear goalposts are not high enough to push out this corner goal...
So Allegri yelled for Ibrahimovic to go to the back point in front of the No. 2 tactic, and yelled for Chen Zhuo to go inside and fight for the top, in order to confuse the opponent, and Ibrahimovic was in the process of moving to the back point with Fan
Ni was sticking to Gomez like a sandwich pancake, but it only happened for a moment. If he kept sticking like that, it would be a blocking foul!
The whole White Hart Lane stadium was in dead silence. The Tottenham players chased the referee and complained about the goal. AC Milan players blocked the foul first. The referee waved the Tottenham players away. Their complaint was simply not valid.
.
Spurs are running out of time...it's a fall from heaven to hell!
After the game, Redknapp was questioned a lot. The turning point of the entire game was his tactical adjustment. After leading 1:0, he wanted to keep the victory too much.
However, this kind of criticism is just an afterthought. If Redknapp continued to play against AC Milan and was finally captured by Milan, the media would also criticize him.
The last 6 minutes of stoppage time were played. Tottenham were in complete chaos in the last minute. After Allegri reversed the situation, all the players shrank to their own side. Within 2 minutes, Tottenham faced
There is absolutely nothing we can do about AC Milan's turtle shell.
After the game, the best player of the game was undoubtedly awarded to Chen Zhuo. The front page of "Gazzetta dello Sport" used a frontal photo of Chen Zhuo roaring loudly and running wildly with both hands as if holding a steering column, and the photoshopped it showed that he was driving a tank.
General Patton. "The Conquest of Europe Begins!" This is the headline on the front page of Gazzetta dello Sport.

With two goals scored in the last five minutes, AC Milan also came back from the dead and entered the quarterfinals.
The two games in the quarter-finals will be held in April. AC Milan's opponent will be Real Madrid on April 6 and April 14, first away and then home.
With the away victory over Tottenham Hotspur, Chen Zhuo's March game against Palermo was also over due to a red card suspension and he was unable to play.
After returning to Milan after the game on March 16, Chen Zhuo took a long vacation until returning to the team in March to prepare for the 31st round of the league at home on April 3 and the Champions League quarter-finals away from home on April 6.
Contest.
During this nearly two-week holiday, the Hong Kong team had no games, and Chen Zhuo did not go back. After last year's Asian Games, this year's Hong Kong team did not qualify for the group stage of the 2011 Asian Cup, so Baggio's main task is to bring
The Hong Kong Olympic team played in the London Olympic qualifying tournament, and Chen Zhuo was not eligible to participate during the group stage. Therefore, except for a few international warm-up matches in 2011, he did not have to be distracted by playing football between Europe and Asia.
There are only four games in March, but there are more in April. There are four league rounds on the 3rd, 10th, 17th, and 23rd. There are two Champions League games on the 6th and 14th. If you beat Real Madrid and advance to the semi-finals, April
(No. 1 will also play a Champions League semi-final. In addition, there will be a Coppa Italia semi-final first leg on April 21. In the intensive month of April, AC Milan will play seven to eight games.
In the match against Palermo in March, starting goalkeeper Abbiati was absent due to injury. Chen Zhuo and Ibrahimovic both stopped playing in the league. In the match against Tottenham, center back Thiago Silva suffered a groin strain.
Injury, left back Antonini also sprained his ankle, Pato's knee was also red and swollen and unable to play. Together with Pirlo and Inzaghi, Milan's injury list has as many as 7 people. As a result, Milan lost 0 in this game.
:1 An upset loss to Palermo.
In the 3 rounds of the league in March, Milan had only 4 points with 1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss, which was a sluggish performance. Inter Milan had 2 wins, 1 loss and 6 points, narrowing the points gap to 5 points! Therefore, on April 3, the Milan duo
The Derby is particularly important. Fortunately, there is a two-week break in the middle. Otherwise, Allegri would really not be able to cope with it.
