Under the Tuscan sun, the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore stands gracefully. This is Florence, the holy land of the Renaissance. Xu Zhimo translated it as "Fallen Green", and the original meaning in Italian is "City of Flowers".
Florence is not far from Milan, only more than (0 kilometers). For this game, Saoirse specially drove here with Zhan Hong and Zhan Song. First, she took them two siblings to watch the away game, and second, she took Zhan Hong and Zhan Song for a visit.
In her own school, Zhan Hong’s thoughts changed after she came to Italy. She wanted to study law like Saoirse. Recently, when she was teaching Zhan Hong Italian, Saoirse asked Zhan Hong to watch an Italian movie.
A Chinese-language legal TV drama, the female lawyer in the drama fascinated Zhan Hong.
Chen Zhuo can't accompany them. The whole month of April is a high-intensity competition month. Chen Zhuo and most of the main players live in the Nello base. The one-day vacation after the game this month has also been cancelled, and it has been changed to the restoration of surnames.
Training, after all, we have to play seven to eight games in 30 days, and more than half of them are away games. If we have another holiday, we won't be able to squeeze in training time.
This was Chen Zhuo's first visit to this famous Italian city. Unfortunately, he didn't have time to stay at all. The team took a bus here the afternoon before the game and returned immediately after the game. Chen Zhuo, who was in a hurry, could only
Save traveling and seeing the city for vacation.

There will be seven to eight games played in 30 days in April. It is unimaginable not to rotate. However, only in this intensive stage of multi-line operations can the depth of the bench of the giants be highlighted.
After defeating Inter Milan 3:0 with the full lineup and scoring 3 away goals at Real Madrid, Allegri arranged a rotation lineup in the away game against Fiorentina, and the league lead over second-placed Inter Milan has reached
With 8 points, Allegri can relax a little and don't have to work so hard.
Among the four defenders, Nesta and Antonini took a truce, Thiago Silva and Papa partnered as central defenders, and Zambrotta and Abate started as left and right full-backs.
Returning to the league, Allegri gave up his unsuccessful attempt at Real Madrid, put Pirlo on the bench again, and sent Gattuso, Seedorf and Van Bommel to intercept midfielders. These three players
Gennaro Gattuso and Seedorf made rotations against Real Madrid, and Van Bommel came on as a substitute, so their physical strength was well preserved.
In the front trident, Chen Zhuo was placed on the bench, with Robinho as the attacking midfielder. The two forwards were partnered by Ibrahimovic, who returned to the league, and Pato, who came off the bench and scored a goal in the last game.
At the pre-match press conference, a reporter asked Allegri about the nickname of Fiorentina coach "Milan Nemesis". Allegri mentioned two games in the first half of the season with ease and confidence, one was Milan.
The 1-0 victory over Fiorentina at home was Chen Zhuo's "Victoria Spin" in Genoa's home victory over Fiorentina. The implication is that Fiorentina coach Derio Rossi's nickname of "Milan Nemesis" is just history.

In general, Milan still had a little trouble in this game. In the 10th minute of the opening, Fiorentina forward Mutu, known as the "Romanian Viper", scored with a corner kick header and maintained the lead until the end of the first half.
It's still Gilardino and Mutu partnering, it's still the changes and adjustments in the "retro 3-5-2" and "4-4-1-1", Derio Rossi didn't play many new things.
After the start of the second half, Allegri first replaced Zambrotta with Antonini. During the battle for the top near the end of the first half, Zambrotta was plotted by Gilardino, which may have caused an old injury. Although
The team doctor checked and said there was nothing serious, but out of overall consideration, Allegri replaced him.
Only 4 minutes into the second half, Antonini passed the ball to Pato from the left. Pato dribbled the ball away from Zanetti at high speed, and then used his speed to overtake Donadale and break into the goal, and finally 12 meters away from the left
Fiorentina goalkeeper Sebastian Frey hit the goal with the outside instep of his right foot. After the ball was blocked by Frey, Ibrahimovic scored an empty goal with his right foot from 6 meters away, tying the score at 1-1.
.
Then the game entered a stalemate. Chen Zhuo came on the field and replaced Seedorf with 15 minutes left. Allegri adjusted the formation to 4-2-1-3, with Van Bommel and Gattuso as double midfielders.
Implementing a defensive interception, Chen Zhuo organized the attack, and Pato, Ibrahimovic and Robinho launched a crazy offensive towards the opponent's goal.
In the 81st minute of the game, five or six minutes after Chen Zhuo came on, Ibrahimovic broke through in the middle and was violated by his opponent. AC Milan got the fourth free kick in the frontcourt. The first three free kicks taken by Ibrahimovic missed all.
Once Chen Zhuo lived up to expectations and solved the problem with a tricky angled curve ball.
The final score was fixed at 2-1. AC Milan came back to win. The best player of the game was Ibrahimovic. Chen Zhuo, who scored in three consecutive games in April, was also dismissed by the media even though he only played 15 minutes.
Got high scores.

The Serie A match on April 10th was already the 32nd round and the seventh to last round of the entire season. Inter Milan also won this round. Due to the failure of the previous battle for the top spot, they defeated 2-0 in this match.
Chievo is still 8 points behind AC Milan. Although the 8-point lead is not particularly disparate, it is not easy to easily surpass the past.
It is also a multi-front battle, but Inter Milan's performance in the Champions League is much worse than AC Milan. On April 6, when AC Milan lost 3-4 away to Real Madrid, Inter Milan was defeated by Schalke 04 at San Siro at home.
The team won an incredible 5-2
Defeated, three goals behind, Schalke 04 still has up to 5 away goals, which means that Inter Milan needs to defeat the opponent 4-0 at Schalke 04’s home court to advance! Unless a miracle happens, Inter Milan will be
Elimination has become a foregone conclusion.
In this Champions League, the Bundesliga giant Bayern Munich was eliminated by Inter Milan in the quarter-finals. Now Schalke defeated Inter Milan with 04 minutes, which can be regarded as defending the honor of the Bundesliga.
In the four games of the eighth round, except for the 1-0 match between Manchester United and Chelsea, the other three games were all scoreless. Real Madrid defeated AC Milan 4-3 at home and Schalke 04 defeated them 5-2 away from home.
Inter Milan and Barcelona beat Shakhtar Donetsk in Ukraine 5-1 at home.
In the second round of the Champions League quarter-finals that will be held on April 14, apart from Manchester United-Chelsea and Real Madrid-AC Milan, which are still suspenseful, Inter Milan and Shakhtar Donetsk have been regarded as unable to save the day.
.
Compared with the game between Manchester United and Chelsea, Real Madrid's away game against AC Milan attracted more attention from all over the world.
April 10th was also a La Liga game. Mourinho used a rotating lineup to defeat Athletic Bilbao 3-0 away from home.
Unlike AC Milan, which dominates Serie A, Real Madrid ranks second in La Liga, 8 points behind leader Barcelona. This gap is also the point gap between AC Milan and Inter Milan.
Mourinho's life is not easy. Real Madrid, which competes in the league, Champions League and Copa del Rey, are all under strong pressure from Barcelona.

In the game against Real Madrid, both sides had injuries. AC Milan's Gattuso and Ibrahimovic were suspended, and Real Madrid's Pepe was also suspended due to accumulation of yellow cards. In fact, even if the game is not suspended, Pepe will not be able to play. In the first round,
Zhong Peipei fouled Chen Zhuo but was retaliated by Chen Zhuo. It will take at least a week to recover.
It is worth mentioning that Ronaldo is still close to being suspended. If he gets another yellow card in this game, he will miss the first round of the semi-finals. However, Mourinho doesn't care about that much anymore. He just wants to ensure the promotion result first.
.
Cristiano Ronaldo specially designed a classic hairstyle. His hair was shiny and he looked very energetic. This made the Milan fans a little uncomfortable, and they gave Cristiano Ronaldo loud boos.
Of course, the louder boos must be for Mourinho. As soon as Mourinho entered the stadium, AC Milan fans booed continuously. Two female fans were very excited and they challenged Mourinho.
: One thumbs down to laugh at Mourinho, and the other yells at Mourinho directly.
Mourinho makes Milan fans both love and hate him. Inter Milan fans cheered for Mourinho's arrival all night long, while AC Milan fans hated him with all their teeth. Some female fans even used gestures to insult "madman".
This is not the first time that Mourinho has been humiliated by fans. During the Spanish League away game against Real Sociedad in September, Mourinho was constantly "greeted" by the opponent's fans. Some fans sang "Portuguese, son of a bitch",
To make matters worse, someone spat at Mourinho.
However, Mourinho, who has long been accustomed to big scenes, remained unmoved. He always kept a smile on his face, and then calmly extended three fingers in response to the provocation. The "3" gesture seemed to refer to the victory he led Inter Milan to last season.
Triple Crown winner, and this is exactly what makes AC Milan fans the most angry. They were completely angered. Not only did they greet Mourinho with boos during the game, but they also kept pointing red and green laser pointers at Mourinho's face.
Face shakes.

-1 defeated Chelsea and advanced to the semi-finals 3-1 in two rounds. Their opponent will be the winner of Schalke 04 and Inter Milan.
What is puzzling is that Leonardo has not given up on the Champions League. This time he played in Germany and he still used his main force. Perhaps in his heart he is still looking forward to a miracle.
With the referee's whistle, AC Milan's home game against Real Madrid began. Chen Zhuo, whose nose was still a little swollen, was very excited. (To be continued.)
