Tong Yi naturally attaches great importance to this game. The Champions League is also a goal of AC Milan this season.
Currently facing Chelsea, Tong Yi feels that AC Milan has a great chance.
Because the current situation for Chelsea is not very good.
Chelsea's performance in the Premier League this season is also very unsatisfactory. They are ranked sixth in the league and are still far away from qualifying for the Champions League.
What's even better and more important is that after Sarri left, the person who took over Chelsea turned out to be their club's famous player Frank Lampard.
To be honest, Lampard did a very good job at Derby County. He led the team to sixth place in the league and qualified for the provincial play-offs. However, he did not defeat his opponent in the final, so he did not win.
The upgrade was successful without leading the team.
However, Chelsea's senior management was still optimistic about it and asked him to replace Sarri and become Chelsea's head coach.
The results he currently leads are not good, but they are not bad either.
After all, this is also the first time he has led a team to coach in the Premier League, and it is not bad to achieve such results.
But many fans and media reporters are very clear that Chelsea's current shortcoming is Lampard. Lampard was indeed very powerful as a player and was the world's top presence. But as a coach, he still lacks something.
Quite a lot.
At this time, the reason why he can become Chelsea's head coach is more because he is a famous Chelsea player.
At this stage, it seems that many teams in Europe or many wealthy clubs are very keen to find famous players who have retired and become coaches to coach the team and become the head coach of the team. This will help them manage the team.
The locker room can also shorten the distance between you and the fans.
But to be honest, not everyone is Guardiola in terms of business ability!
At present, Gattuso, Vieira and Lampard are not doing particularly well.
Therefore, Lampard's ability to coach Chelsea this season has exceeded many people's expectations.
Of course, there are a lot of people who support Lampard, and even more of them are fans.
As for the team's current results, they are really not satisfied, but they are not particularly dissatisfied.
In fact, when many people knew that Chelsea's new coach was Frank Lampa, they had predicted the team's performance. The current performance of the team led by Lampard is still passable. But it is obviously far from the expectations of the team and fans.
The goal is still quite far away, which makes many media reporters have little confidence in this game.
Yes, even English media reporters are not optimistic about Chelsea at this time.
Adriana said in her column, "Chelsea currently has many problems, including problems with its form, skills and tactics. Lampard may have done a good job in controlling the locker room, but the team's strength is not.
too much improvement
, on the contrary, it has declined. To be honest, I think his performance in leading the team is not as good as Sarri! In this game, they have to face AC Milan, the legendary godfather of Crystal Palace, Hua Xia Tong. I think their chances are not good.
Obviously we are going to lose.”
Sure enough, Adriana still stood by Tong Yi, even though Tong Yi was no longer coaching in England.
Many fans also agree with Adriana's idea. They all feel that Chelsea really has little chance in this game.
Even at this time, Webster is more optimistic about AC Milan.
Webster wrote in the "Times" report, "With Chelsea's current state and strength, there is no way they can compete with AC Milan. China Tong's AC Milan is now very good in strength and state.
Not only did they qualify first in the Champions League group of death, they are currently ranked first in Serie A. These all illustrate the strength of AC Milan, and Chelsea obviously has no way to compete with AC Milan.
In this game, Chelsea should be in trouble."
This makes many Chelsea fans very dissatisfied. They all feel that these media reporters really look down on Chelsea and think too highly of the damn Chinese soft-boiled guy.
To be honest, Webster doesn't want to be optimistic about Tong Yi and AC Milan, but the current situation of Chelsea is definitely too bad, and it is impossible to defeat AC Milan. How do you ask him to speak for Chelsea?
Delvestri also expressed his opinion, saying, "Chelsea under Frank Lampard currently has many problems. They lack too many technical and tactical things. Maybe Lampard did a good job at Derby County."
, but this is the Champions League, and the Champions League is very different from the English Championship. I think the winner of this game should be AC Milan, and I am optimistic about them."
At this time, many English fans did not refute, thinking that what these reporters said was quite reasonable. In this game, Chelsea really did not have many chances!
This deeply stung the Chelsea people, and Chelsea fans began to fight back. They all believed that Chelsea would win this game! Their Chelsea strength is very strong, no worse than AC Milan, and the recent
The state is also very good, and they will not give AC Milan any chance.
Chelsea fans really don't take AC Milan people seriously.
However, Chelsea head coach Lampard said in an interview before the game, "As far as the current state of the two teams is concerned, everyone is pretty much the same. In this regard, both our teams have opportunities. But in terms of strength,
, AC Milan may be slightly stronger than us, this is because they have been running in for a year, and I took over Chelsea
It’s only been half a year. We are indeed at a disadvantage in this regard, which is why we may lose.”
After hearing these words, many Chelsea fans were dissatisfied. They felt that Lampard was a bit too ambitious for others and destroyed his own prestige. They Chelsea people did not want to hear these depressing words. They, Chelsea, must win this game!
Lampard also said, "Of course we at Chelsea will not give up in this game, we will go all out. Our goal is to win this game and try not to give away goals to AC Milan."
This is the best guarantee for Chelsea to advance to the next round!"
Although Lampard said that Chelsea is currently not as good as AC Milan, he does not intend to give up in this game and is ready to fight AC Milan in this game. And it can be seen that he himself seems quite confident.
Yes, this makes Chelsea fans very happy, they are full of expectations for this game.
They are now looking forward to Lampard bringing them good news.
Adriana and others shook their heads after hearing Lampard's words. They felt that Lampard did not understand the situation clearly and did not understand Tong Yi's power. Chelsea would probably suffer a loss in this game!
But at this time, they didn't say much. Anyway, they were more optimistic about AC Milan.
After Tong Yi came to London, he naturally accepted interviews from media reporters.
Tong Yi said this: "I know Chelsea's current results this season are not very good, but we will not underestimate them because of this. I know they are a very capable team and will cause us some trouble.
We must respond actively and go all out. Therefore, we will show our 100% strength and condition to meet this game. In this game, we have only one goal, that
Just to win.”
Yes, Tong Yi didn't hide it, he got straight to the point.
And he really didn’t mean to underestimate Chelsea. He treated Chelsea as an evenly matched opponent. And he also said this to his players, asking them to give their best in this game.
.
The UEFA Champions League games are indeed too important for AC Milan, but Serie A is also very important.
Tong Yi hopes that AC Milan can take an absolute advantage in the first round, so that they will have more energy to deal with the league.
To be honest, Serie A is very important in Tong Yi's heart now.
Therefore, he will not be stingy at all if he can invest more in the league.
In this game, AC Milan will definitely go all out to strive for a satisfactory result and score more goals.
At this time, Adriana is asking questions
, let Tong Yi evaluate Lampard.
Tong Yi frowned slightly, and then said, "Lampard is a very good midfielder. I still remember his performance in Chelsea and the England national team. To be honest, in my opinion, he is definitely
One of the top midfielders in the world, if he hadn't retired, I would have really wanted to bring him to AC Milan!"
Adriana, Webster and others rolled their eyes, expressing strong dissatisfaction.
We are not asking you to evaluate Lampard the player, we are asking you to evaluate Lampard the coach.
What are you doing? Doing Tai Chi?
Tong Yi continued, "We are very well prepared today. We have very strong confidence in the upcoming knockout round of the UEFA Champions League. I firmly believe that my team can win at Stamford Bridge."
, get three points!”
Many Chelsea fans began to criticize Tong Yi crazily, criticizing Tong Yi for being hypocritical and arrogant. They also claimed that Chelsea will definitely beat AC Milan to disgrace in this game. In this game, Chelsea will definitely defeat Tong Yi.
win.
Under such circumstances, AC Milan's away game against Chelsea in the first leg of the 2019-2020 UEFA Champions League knockout round has already begun.
Today's game was played at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea's home stadium, and the scene was packed with people.
Almost all Chelsea fans are wearing blue jerseys, but more people still put on a coat outside. After all, the weather in England has been quite cold recently. And today, it is even colder in London.
It started to drizzle, which made the place even colder.
Tong Yi, who was standing on the sidelines, couldn't help but tighten his windbreaker - it was a bit cold!
It would be better if it didn't rain, it wouldn't be so cold.
The rain today is a bit like snow, which makes the players on both sides put on gloves and other warm things involuntarily. The weather today is indeed quite cold.
Seeing such weather, Tong Yi was also a little worried.
Tong Yi was afraid that the AC Milan players would get injured in such weather. After all, this is a weather that is prone to injuries. He repeatedly reminded the AC Milan players to warm up and warm up their bodies before the start of the game.
, otherwise, it is really easy to get injured.
The players of AC Milan nodded one after another. They were very dedicated in the warm-up before the game.
Tong Yi was quite satisfied to see such a scene.
And under such circumstances, the French referee Clement Tirpin directly blew the whistle to officially start the game between the two sides - toot!
The first to kick off was the home team Chelsea, wearing their traditional blue jerseys, attacking from the left to the right of the screen.
