In the group of death, AC Milan's victory in three games really exceeded many people's expectations.
Especially those media reporters and celebrities who made predictions before the game, they are all being slapped in the face now!
To be honest, among these predictions, almost no one is optimistic about AC Milan!
Most people think that Barcelona and Dortmund should qualify from this group. Although Tong Yi is a very amazing head coach, he has only taken over AC Milan for one season so far. And AC Milan has left the Champions League.
After so many years in the league, it is inevitable that they will become unfamiliar.
Therefore, there are really not many people who are optimistic about AC Milan.
Now Tong Yi and AC Milan have slapped these guys in the face with their brilliant results.
But even this is not recognized by these people.
They feel that AC Milan's current results are not a reflection of their strength, but simply good luck. If they met normal Barcelona and Dortmund, would they be able to win?
impossible!
By the second round of the group stage, the problem may be explained.
Barcelona and Dortmund will definitely win by then, they firmly believe that.
However, AC Milan should have got a qualifying spot!
Because in the next games, even if Barcelona and Dortmund perform quite explosively, only one team among them can win three consecutive victories, and one team can achieve two wins and one loss. Therefore, one team
A team gets 9 points and a team gets 6 points.
Currently, Barcelona and Dortmund have the same points, with one win, one draw and one loss, with 4 points.
In the best case scenario, one of these two teams has 13 points and the other has 10 points.
AC Milan currently has 9 points. Even if they lose to Dortmund and Barcelona in the second round, as long as they defeat Slavia Prague and only get 3 points, their total points will be 12 league points. Obviously
To get a qualifying spot!
To be honest, AC Milan may not be able to beat Dortmund and Barcelona, but it should be easy to defeat Slavia Prague!
Even those who are not optimistic about AC Milan feel that AC Milan has now locked in a qualifying spot.
The only possibility for AC Milan to be eliminated now is that they lose all the next three games.
But this probability is very small, and it is almost impossible to qualify.
However, there are always some people who hold out hope for extremely low-probability events, and no one corrects their ideas.
At least Tong Yi has no intention of correcting these people's ideas.
In his opinion, they have qualified for the group stage.
Tong Yi also said the same thing about his players, but
I still hope they don’t let things slip and play well in the next three games without any accidents!
At the press conference after the game, Tong Yi said, "We were indeed very lucky to win this game, and it is indeed our luck to win. Our opponents had many problems, and even one
There are no forwards from Zhengyin, which has a great impact on them. But sometimes, luck is also part of strength. Maybe this season, AC Milan should advance to the top 16 of the Champions League!"
Many media reporters and fans also nodded, saying that this was indeed the case.
Perhaps it is because AC Milan has not appeared in the Champions League schedule for many years. This is the compensation God has given them!
But at this time, there are still many people who don't think AC Milan can go further!
Because they firmly believe that AC Milan people cannot continue to be so lucky.
Many people even think that advancing to the top 16 is the best outcome for AC Milan this season. After advancing, they will be eliminated. They think that AC Milan is still too young and inexperienced to cope with such an intense competition.
Moreover, young players have great ups and downs. They have performed well recently, but they cannot always perform well in the future.
Therefore, AC Milan young people whose mentality changes after promotion will definitely have to pay tuition.
Many media reporters feel that the top 16 of the Champions League is the end of AC Milan this season.
Tong Yi said, "We haven't thought about things that far ahead yet. The Champions League group stage is only halfway through. Thinking about it now is undoubtedly asking for trouble. We don't have the habit of opening champagne in advance. So what will happen in the future?
, I really don’t know. But I still remind my players to be cautious in everything. The current results do not mean everything! Juventus almost overturned last season, and I don’t want to see my team.
The day the car rolled over!”
Bang bang bang!
Milan fans applauded one after another. They firmly believed that Tong Yi could lead AC Milan well and they supported him unconditionally.
Media reporters feel that Tong Yi’s words are unfounded. AC Milan’s future is doomed and they do not have the strength to go further in the Champions League!
However, Favre said, "This game allowed me to see the upper limit of AC Milan. Their upper limit is really unlimited! They have the possibility to defeat any opponent, provided that they can maintain this in every game."
Reasonable, but this is difficult! As far as this game is concerned, the AC Milan people performed very well."
Obviously, Favre is still convinced about this game.
AC Milan is indeed better than them in this game
They performed even better, and they didn't have many chances in this game.
But he also felt that if they were a normal Dortmund, they would have a high chance of winning.
AC Milan is very strong, but it is still inferior to our Dortmund team.
To be honest, Dortmund is really not doing well this season.
That's just Favre himself who thinks it's okay.
Favre also said, "We have learned a lot from this game. When we return to our home court, I believe we will be able to defeat AC Milan and get three points. Therefore, losing this game is not a loss."
It’s not without value, the real game won’t officially begin until we return to the home court.”
Many media reporters also nodded and agreed with Favre's statement.
Anyway, they all feel that AC Milan's consecutive victories over Barcelona and Dortmund are entirely due to good luck. If they faced normal Barcelona and Dortmund, they would definitely lose.
Tong Yi did not make any comments on this, and we will wait until the next game starts to talk about everything!
In another match of this group, Barcelona defeated Slavia Prague 1-2 in an away game, which gave Dortmund people more expectations.
They feel that as long as they have no problems against Barcelona in the following games, it will be a matter of time before they advance.
Favre is also confident about this.
Favre said this at the post-match press conference: "So far, I am not worried at all about our team's qualification. I think we can easily get out of this group. We will definitely be able to."
Advance to the top 16!"
This made many media reporters think Favre was crazy, and they were not very optimistic about Dortmund.
After AC Milan locked a qualifying spot, they were still more optimistic about Barcelona.
Although Valverde's magic power is not there and he has also encountered a crisis of confidence, there should be no problem in emerging from this group. Because compared to Barcelona's problems, Dortmund has more problems.
Media reporters even asked Tong Yi for his opinion, and Tong Yi directly said, "I don't know about that. You want to see how these two teams perform later?"
To be honest, whoever advances to the next round between these two teams will have little impact on AC Milan.
He felt that even if these two teams qualified for the qualifying round, they would be destined to escape in the first round. It would be impossible for them to meet AC Milan again in the following games, so there was no need to care about them at all.
Rather than caring about them, Tong Yi might as well focus on how to deal with the Roma team!
Although Roma's results so far this season are not very satisfactory. In the first eight rounds, they only had 3 wins, 4 draws and 1 loss, temporarily ranking seventh in Serie A. But their strength is indeed quite good.
At this time, it is impossible for Tong Yi and the AC Milan players to underestimate them.
Who knows whether Roma will find its rhythm from this round of games?
To be honest, the Roma team has the ability to achieve better results.
Tong Yi will not underestimate his opponents.
The day before the match between AC Milan and Roma, there are still other Serie A matches to be played. On this day, there are Inter Milan and Juventus, and the match between these two teams is to be played the day before.
Juventus's game was an away game against newly promoted Lecce. To be honest, Tong Yi felt that Juventus could handle this game easily and get three points. But what shocked him was that this guy Sarri caused trouble again.
Bala was firmly put on the bench by him. He had been warming up since the beginning of the second half of the game, and until the end of the game, he did not get a chance to play!
Fortunately, Juventus got a penalty kick in the 94th minute of this game. Only then did Ronaldo have the opportunity to help the team equalize the score and get a point with difficulty!
To be honest, Tong Yi was a little stunned when he saw this game. He didn't expect that this game would be so "exciting"!
After the game, the Italian media began to criticize Juventus' head coach crazily. They all believed that Juventus played like this entirely because of Sarri's troubles. If Sarri had operated normally, Juventus would have lost this game.
It’s not easy for Tooth to win, right?
Countless fans and media reporters used Dybala as their excuse, claiming that if Dybala had played in this game, the result would never be like this. They criticized Sarri one after another, and even claimed that Sarri's words would be optimized now.
, it is a huge good thing for Juventus, and there is still time to optimize it. If we push it further, Juventus may really become a spectator in the league this season!
At this time, there were also many media reporters who wanted to interview Dybala, but Dybala seemed to have been banned by the club, so they were never able to interview Dybala. This made the media reporters very unhappy.
Satisfied, shouting that they have freedom of press and freedom of speech!
Tong Yi didn't have any comment on this. He knew that Juventus had another problem, which was a great thing for AC Milan. It was good that problems could not occur in the next game against Roma.
opportunity.
In another game, AC Milan's local rival Inter Milan faced Parma at home. This game should also be a game that can be easily won. However, Conte also had an accident in this game, and was unexpectedly defeated by his opponent.
He scored two goals in the last 10 minutes to equalize, and finally tied the opponent 2-2.
