Chapter 103 San Siro Battle of the Rossoneri

Updated: 2012-08-21

On February 15, 2010, the entire Manchester United team flew to Milan, the Italian fashion capital!

Milan (Italian: milano) is the city name, a large city in the northwest of Italy, the capital of the Milan province and the capital of the Lombardy region. It is located on the Lombardy Plain, the most densely populated and most developed in Italy. It is also an important transportation point in southern Europe. It has a long history and is famous for its sightseeing, fashion and architecture.

Milan has more than half of the world's famous fashion brands. All the world's famous fashion brands are established here. The headquarters of more than half of the fashion brands is the first of the world's five fashion capitals and a famous historical and cultural city. This is the place that global designers yearn for. The great Leonardo da Vinci has left behind the most brilliant works, just like a white flame Milan Cathedral, towering across the sky. The Grand Theater of Scala represents the top of the world's opera. This is the base camp for world top clothing such as Armani, Versace, Prada, Dolce & Gabbana, Valentino, and Moschino. Milan Fashion Week influences world fashion.

This is not the first time that Manchester United players have come to the fashion capital of Milan. They are still very familiar with Milan. Even when there is no game, they often bring their lovers to the fashion capital of Milan.

This is not the first time Gong Zheng has come to Milan. This is his second time. The first time he has come to Milan was because of Versace's request. Versace hopes that Gong Zheng can become their image spokesperson. They have not yet agreed, but according to news from Dephine Lin Rotruff, they will sign a contract soon.

The main task of Manchester United players to come to Milan is to play, and to play against AC Milan. I still know the players of AC Milan very well. After all, some of them often play against AC Milan!

AC Milan was founded in 1899 and its founder is Alfred Edwards. Since then, the club has gone through a century of ups and downs, AC Milan has developed into one of the greatest teams in the world today. As of 2010, AC Milan has won seven European Champions League titles, five European Super Cup championships, two European Cup winners championships, four Intercontinental Cup and Club World Cup championships. In Italy, they have won a total of seventeen Serie A championships, two Serie B championships, six Cup championships and five Italian Super Cup championships.

This is one of the greatest clubs in Italy, one of the greatest clubs in the world, and one of the most successful clubs in the world!

The name of the Ross and Blacks has long been resounding throughout the country and is well-known. And the most important thing is that when facing Manchester United, they have a very big psychological advantage. In many Champions League knockout matches, Manchester United has not surpassed AC Milan, which makes Manchester United players and fans very unhappy. Today, they are here to take revenge!

And it seems that Manchester United has never gotten a bargain at Milan's home court. This is an opportunity to set a new record and a chance to wash away shame. Alex Ferguson has been waiting for this day for a long time. This time, Alex Ferguson does not allow him to fail again!

On February 17, 2010, in Milan City, Italy, the weather was sunny and windy!

As early as an hour before the game, fans wearing red and black jerseys had already filled the San Siro Stadium with a full set of 82,955 people. There was no gap in the San Siro Stadium. A huge red and black jersey appeared in the stands north of San Siro. The red and black jersey covered at least two stands. The huge jersey brought a strong shock to the audience in front of the TV. Of course, Manchester United fans did not think so!

Manchester United fans think this is bullshit. Such a jersey is a waste of territory, money, and human resources. It is simply not practical. Well, this is Manchester United fans looking for trouble and finding faults.

As Manchester United challenged AC Milan's Champions League knockout match away, Milan has flocked to many English fans. The reputation of English fans in the world is very bad, and it can be said to be infamous. Therefore, the police in Milan, Italy suddenly became busy because many English fans without tickets gathered in places with very large population flow, which has become a very big safety hazard. Now the police in Milan are busy!

Before this game, the Milan police made a request to limit the number of English fans to Milan. But that was the request that was eventually rejected, so a lot of English fans flocked to Milan City, adding a lot of work to the Milan police.

At this time, Manchester United's bus had already entered the San Siro Stadium, and they were surrounded by media reporters and Manchester United fans. However, Manchester United players did not accept interviews and rushed into the player channel.

Although Manchester United fans were very excited and shouted the names of Manchester United stars, hoping that Manchester United players could stay and accept interviews, Manchester United players did not stop and rushed into the player channel directly.

Just as Manchester United players just flocked into the player channel, AC Milan's bus also came. The red and black fans surrounded him frantically, but Manchester United fans did not mean to get out of the way. The fans of both sides were crowded together and the scene suddenly became chaotic!

The reporter holding the camera was squeezed into a group by both sides, and the scene was suddenly in chaos. The riot police and security personnel on the stadium began to move at this time. Before the game began, there was friction between the fans of both sides, which made the riot police and security personnel in Milan tighten. This would definitely not be easy for this game!

Under the dredging of riot police and security personnel, the chaos here finally stopped fifteen minutes later. Fortunately, there were no casualties. At this time, AC Milan players got off the bus and flocked into the player passage. In other words, AC Milan players stayed in the bus for fifteen minutes!

After rushing into the locker room, AC Milan players quickly changed their clothes and then quickly rushed into the stadium to warm up before the game. The accident just now disrupted their pre-match plan, and now we must hurry up and warm up!

The moment AC Milan players appeared at San Siro Stadium, a warm call broke out, which reminded Manchester United fans of their home court Old Trafford Stadium!

After a brief warm-up, players from both sides flocked to the locker room to listen to the head coach’s last teaching before the game!!

"Hello, everyone, here espn. Today we bring you the one-eighth knockout match of the 2009-2010 Champions League football champions. The two sides are AC Milan and Manchester United!" The commentator of espn started.

"This is the fifth time that both sides have met in the Champions League knockout round. In the first four knockout rounds, Manchester United lost, which is a great shame for the proud Manchester United. Today they are here to avenge their shame!" Espn's commentator introduced the battle history of both sides. "Of course, AC Milan won't just watch the opponent avenge the shame, so this game will definitely be like Mars touching the earth!"

"Okay, the players on both sides have already appeared, the game will begin soon. I'll introduce the list of both sides today!" The commentator of espn began to introduce the list of both sides.

"In this game, Milan's head coach Leonardo lined up a four-three-three formation, which completely abandoned Carlos Ancelotti's style. Leonardo has left his mark on this Milan team." said the commentator of the European Football Channel.

"In the position of goalkeeper, Milan sent Brazilian goalkeeper Dida. Although this guy is old, he is still the main goalkeeper of Milan." The commentator of European Football Channel said as he looked at the information.

"In the four-back positions, they are right back Abat, right center back Nesta, left center back Thiago Silva and left back Antonini." The commentator of European Football Channel continued, "The three-midfielders are right Gattuso, midfielder Pirlo and left Ambrosini."

"The trio on the front line is Ronaldinho on the left, Pato on the right and Hunteral on the center!" The commentator of the European Football Channel continued, "Sure enough, former Manchester United player David Beckham did not appear in the starting lineup today. He sat on the bench and was at his fate."

"After introducing the starting list of the home team Milan, I will introduce the starting list of the away team Manchester United team." The commentator of the European Football Channel immediately said, "Today, Manchester United's Alex Ferguson also made some changes. Their formation is no longer 4411, but 4231."

"In the goalkeeper position, Dutchman Van der Sar, who has finally recovered and recovered well. He will be at the goalkeeper of Manchester United and become Manchester United's main goalkeeper." The commentator of the European Football Channel explained in detail.

"In the four-back position, Zoe is full-back Evra, left central defender Jonathan Evans, right central defender Rio Ferdinand and right central defender Rafael." The commentator of European Football Channel said, "It seems that Nemania Vidic still cannot play, otherwise Alex Ferguson will definitely not start Jonathan Evans in such an important game."

"In the position of double midfielders, Alex Ferguson sent two people, Fleck and Carrick. These two people seem to focus on defense today," said the commentator of the European Football Channel in detail. "The trio in front of these two people is veteran Giggs on the left, and the forward on the right is Portuguese Nani, and the forward on the front is Wayne Rooney."

"The one who is ahead of Manchester United is Manchester United's goal machine Gong Zheng. This guy has scored twenty-two league goals in the Premier League, and the goal efficiency is quite amazing. Others often have to spend a season to score so many goals. This guy has achieved this goal in twenty-six rounds of games. This guy is really a goal machine. Now there are twelve rounds left in the Premier League. This guy may be able to score more than thirty goals this season. What a freak." The commentator of the European Football Channel said immediately.

"Okay, the players from both sides have entered the stadium under the leadership of the referee. The players from both sides have stood on the stadium. The UEFA Champions League quarter-finals of Manchester United and Milan are about to begin." The commentator of the European Football Channel said with great excitement.

Listening to the commentator, the fans on both sides of the scene were also excited and shouted excitedly, loud shouts resounding throughout the San Siro Stadium.

"Flute..." The whistle roared, and the game officially began, and the San Siro Stadium suddenly became boiling.

At the beginning of the game, AC Milan took advantage of its home court and made a fierce attack, which made Manchester United, who came from afar, unable to bear it.

Pirlo took the ball in the middle, and Manchester United's shadow striker Wayne Rooney rushed up quickly. Pirlo easily shook his opponent and then dribbled the ball forward. Manchester United's midfielder Fletcher pounced on him. Pirlo tried to break through, but he failed. The ball was shoveled down by the opponent. After the ball was tackled, Manchester United's midfielder Fletcher quickly passed the ball straight and wanted to hit behind AC Milan. However, they did not succeed, and the ball was cut off by AC Milan's defender Thiago Silva.
