The 3:0 victory over Inter Milan was on April 3rd. After the game, the team had no time to take a holiday. The next day, the entire AC Milan team rushed to Madrid non-stop.
In the game against Real Madrid, AC Milan's starting lineup was adjusted. Except for Gattuso's Champions League suspension and unable to go with the team, Pato was slightly injured and sat on the bench. Abate returned from injury and was replaced by Allais.
Gerry arranged to start the game.
In the starting lineup, Allegri unexpectedly used Pirlo as the defensive midfielder, and the formation was a 4-1-3-2 attacking formation, with four defenders Antonini, Nesta, Thiago Silva,
Abate, defensive midfielder Pirlo, three attacking midfielders Chen Zhuo, Robinho and Cassano, forwards Ibrahimovic and Ruud van Nistelrooy.
Except for Chen Zhuo, the other five attackers have La Liga experience. Among them, Robinho, Cassano and Ruud van Nistelrooy are all former players of Real Madrid. I wonder if Allegri has considered this arrangement.
this direction.
The most terrible thing is that although the lineup of this 4-1-3-2 and the victory over Parma are the same, the character is completely different. The three attacking midfielders in that game had three interceptions.
The midfielder lies in front of Pirlo, and apart from Chen Zhuo, the three attacking midfielders in this game, Robinho and Cassano are all types who focus on offense and light defense!
As soon as this lineup arrangement came out, many media exclaimed that Allegri was "crazy".

Madrid is the center of Spain, both politically and geographically. In this regard, someone once jokingly said: If the map of Spain was made into a plywood and a thread was threaded out from the point of Madrid, when you pull this
When the root line is drawn, the plywood is completely parallel to the ground. Although this statement is a bit exaggerated, there is no doubt that Madrid is the leading city in Spain in many areas.
The Santiago Bernabeu Stadium and Real Madrid's "Galaxy" were once the holy land of football. However, in recent years, Real Madrid's performance has not matched this holy land. Especially the poor performance in the Champions League has made people fully feel the burning of money.
What comes out is just a bunch of foam.
In the last three seasons, Real Madrid has never reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League. In the 2007-09 season, they suffered a double defeat by Roma in the quarter-finals. In the 2008 season, they were double-killed by Liverpool and suffered a 0-4 away defeat. In the 2009-10 season, they had a draw.
After losing to Lyon, Real Madrid made a breakthrough only this season under the leadership of Mourinho. In the quarter-finals, they defeated Lyon with one draw and one win, avenging last season's defeat and advancing to the quarter-finals.
.
In fact, in the group stage this season, Real Madrid and AC Milan have already played against each other. Real Madrid's record is 1 win and 1 draw, remaining unbeaten against Milan.
It is particularly worth mentioning that in 2010, AC Milan defeated Real Madrid 2:2 at home. Both goals were scored by veteran Inzaghi. Inzaghi also scored in the Champions League at the age of 37.
A new legendary chapter written by the ball.
Chen Zhuo, who was still in Genoa, missed those two games.

Mourinho is cautious about Allegri's "craziness". Even though everyone thinks that this kind of attack is more beneficial to Real Madrid, Mourinho, who is familiar with Serie A, knows very well that for Serie A teams, defense
Counterattack is something that is in their blood. If Real Madrid starts to attack after seeing this formation, they may fall into the trap of the Italians!
Staying the same in response to all changes. For Mourinho, the most important thing in the competition between the two giants is who can make good use of what he is good at!
Real Madrid's formation is still the 4-3-3 that Mourinho is good at. The four defenders in front of goalkeeper Casillas are Ramos, Pepe, Carvalho and Marcelo, and the double midfielder is Hercules.
Dila and Alonso, attacking midfielder Di Maria, left winger Cristiano Ronaldo, right winger Ozil, and center Adebayor.
On the weekend of April 3rd, Real Madrid also had a league game. Compared to AC Milan who used all their main players to defeat their powerful rival Inter Milan 3:0, Mourinho hid almost all his main players in that game and sent out all his substitutes.
Losing to Sporting Gijon 0:1, this defeat also ended Mourinho's own record of 150 unbeaten home games for the team he coached.
All preparations are to defeat AC Milan and take a further step in the Champions League. For Mourinho, the only reason why he was invited by the Real Madrid management was to help Real Madrid win the Champions League trophy.

At the beginning of the game, the two sides started a fierce battle in the midfield, and they were indeed engaged in an offensive battle.
Only 3 minutes into the game, Cristiano Ronaldo announced Real Madrid's attack power in this game with two long-range shots. Unfortunately, both shots missed the target.
In the 4th minute of the game, Real Madrid took the lead. Ozil made a pass from the right, Adebayor passed it back, and Di Maria's low shot from inside the edge was blocked. Then Ozil took a corner kick.
Adebay headed the ball towards the lower left corner from about 8 meters away. Abbiati was unable to save, and the ball hit Ruud van Nistelrooy's leg in front of the goal line and was reflected in!
After scoring, Adebayor excitedly took off his jersey and ran around the field, showing the home fans the big number "10" on his T-shirt. This goal was his 10th Champions League goal, which is worth remembering.
In the 8th minute of the game, Ibrahimovic tackled Ramos while fighting in the frontcourt and was given a yellow card by the referee, which also triggered huge boos from Real Madrid fans.
In the 10th minute, Ozil passed the ball and Marcelo's shot from 25 yards missed. So far, AC Milan, which is in an attacking formation, has not had a shot.
2 minutes later, Adebayor tackled Cassano from the wing and was given a yellow card. The ball was still in AC Milan's half. Chen Zhuo gave up the direct shot, but during the cooperation, Ibrahimovic's breakthrough was intercepted by Marcelo.
Still no shot was made.
In the 15th minute, Ibrahimovic made another tackle in the frontcourt. This time it was to retaliate against Marcelo, who was suspected of fouling when he had just counterattacked him. This foul also caused Ibrahimovic to be directly directed by the German referee Brich, who was officiating in the Champions League for the 12th time.
Take out the red card and send off!
This red card is also a record. The previous record for the fastest sent off in the Champions League was minutes. Now Ibrahimovic has refreshed this record.
In the first 15 minutes, the attacking formation not only failed to win unexpectedly, but fell behind 0:1, and after Ibrahimovic was sent off, it became a challenge with 10 men. AC Milan's situation is not generally bad!

In the 19th minute, Abate fouled Ronaldo, and the referee awarded Real Madrid a free kick again. Pirlo complained to the referee and was given a yellow card. In this game, the German referee's enforcement was very strict, but the angle of this free kick was not
No, it's very difficult to shoot directly. Pirlo's complaints and request for a yellow card are of little significance.
In the 22nd minute, Marcelo passed the ball after a breakthrough. Cristiano Ronaldo's shot from a small angle on the left was saved by Gomez. In the subsequent counterattack, Cassano's long shot from 30 meters away was blocked by Casili.
Yas got it easily, but Allegri was very dissatisfied. Long-range shooting was not Cassano's strong point at all. Cassano should not be so anxious about this ball. He would use his good wing breakthrough and knock back. After a second or two, Chen Zhuo
It’s in place!
In the 1st minute, Abbate threw a throw-in to Van Nistelrooy near the penalty spot. Carvalho responded in time to destroy the ball. Van Nistelrooy, who fell to the ground inside the first minute, took a penalty kick but was ignored.
In the 30th minute, Pirlo made a long pass from the backcourt. Robinho quickly got rid of Ramos and broke into the left side of the center. Pepe interfered in time and Robinho's shot hit the side. This was AC Milan's first goal.
The two-foot shot was also relatively reluctant.
In the 32nd minute, Marcelo made a pass from the left, Ramos made a diving header from far away, and Adebayor missed a close header opportunity on the other side.
In the 34th minute, C-Ronaldo passed the ball and Di Maria shot a low shot from about 25 meters, which was saved by Gomez.
In the 38th minute, Pepe tackled Cassano from the bottom line of the wing and was given a yellow card. The angle was too small. Chen Zhuo chose to pass the free kick. Ruud van Nistelrooy grabbed the spot, but unfortunately his header went wide.
In the 40th minute, Cristiano Ronaldo shot a direct free kick from 30 meters away. However, Real Madrid player Marcelo headed inside and passed the ball. Adebayor volleyed from 12 yards, and the ball was blocked by Abbiati.
.
In the 42nd minute, Cristiano Ronaldo made a pass from the left. Di Maria's shot inside the arc was blocked by Chen Zhuo with his arm inside the edge of the defense. The referee believed that Chen Zhuo did not open his arms. This was a passive move.
Handball, so no penalty was awarded, which allowed AC Milan to escape. This penalty also triggered bursts of boos from the home team fans. The game did not stop, but Ozil, who quickly stepped in, missed his shot from outside the edge.
The goal.
In the 45th minute, when Casillas broke the ball with his big kick, the ball missed his own baseline and gave AC Milan a corner kick. Chen Zhuo's corner kick was blocked by Nesta, and Casillas hugged him tightly in the chaos.
In arms.
In half-time stoppage time, Ronaldo's shot was blocked by Nesta. By the end of the first half, the score was 1:0, but the shooting ratio of the two teams was 21 to 4, which was completely impossible.
It looks like Real Madrid and AC Milan are competing, but it looks like Real Madrid is giving a lesson to a mid-to-lower team in La Liga.

"Zlatan is indeed a little impulsive, but this also shows his desire to win. Don't be affected too much. Zlatan, in the weekend league, take advantage of your anger!"
Regarding Ibrahimovic's red card and the passivity this impulse brought to the team, Allegri did not reprimand him, but also comforted him in a timely manner. Then, Allegri said: "10 people challenged, one goal behind, yes,
We are very passive, and this is still at the opponent's home court, at the famous Bernabeu..."
While talking and looking around, Allegri said: "In terms of tactics, we discussed it repeatedly before the game. Blind defense will only make them more arrogant. We have set a goal to fight them at the Bernabeu."
Even if you can't win the match, you must at least score an away goal! Ruud Ruud, Cassano, Robinho, this used to be your home court, and there are still your fans in the stands. Do you have the momentum of the return of the king?
"
Finally turning his attention to Chen Zhuo, Allegri said: "Patton, this is your first time playing at the Bernabeu. Don't you think you need a goal to leave an unforgettable memory for the first game at the Bernabeu?" (Unfinished)
