Legend of the Blue Lion

Chapter 466

……

The flames continued in February, and the knockout rounds reignited.

The first round of the Champions League knockout round began, and the Milan team went to Ukraine in Eastern Europe.

According to the rules of the knockout round, the first team in the group stage will be away first and then host, that is, the advantage will be put behind.

The plan of the head coach Kaka is to directly determine the advantage in the away game and directly end this two-round life-and-death battle.

However, it was a bit of a bad start.

……

Ukraine, Kiev, Lobanovsky Stadium

On the day of the game, as Milan and Dynamo Kiev, the two teams share a common name.It was also Milan's former coach Shevchenko who came to the stadium to watch the game.

For this former Mr. Golden Globe Award, He Yu has some feelings.

I still remember that in 2022, when he first arrived in Milan, he was under the coach of Sheva.

At that time, Donnarumma still occupied the No. [-] position of Milan.Under the operation of him and the upper management of the club, he sold that guy in exchange for He Yu's main position.

He Yu still remembers that back then, Sheva resigned because of his record, and stepped down from the position of Milan coach...

Kaka and him are old teammates, and they talked with each other for a long time before the game.As for the assistant coach, he has cooperated with him for several years, so he is even more affectionate.

In short, the appearance of Sheva can be regarded as adding some human touch to this game...

But friendship belongs to friendship, and competition belongs to competition.

On the battlefield, even father and son have nothing to do, let alone opponents.

Kaka lined up the full main lineup to face, Berardi is still starting debut.One is because of his recent brave state, and the other is because Sancho's state fluctuates occasionally, and he is unable to represent Milan in this Champions League...

But the game has been developing in a bad direction from the very beginning.

In the first half, it was tied by Dynamo Kiev.

Looking at the statistics of the halftime, Milan took 7 shots and 2 shots on target, none of which were converted into goals.And Dynamo Kiev only had 2 shots and not 1 shot on target.

He Yu is relaxed, but the team's offense is also weak.

Facing the intensive defense of Dynamo Kiev, Milan once again reached a bottleneck period...

At the beginning of the second half, Milan attacked more violently.

Kovacic's position once came up to overlap with Diaz, forming a double midfielder configuration.

However, there are still no grains...

When the whistle sounded in the 90th minute, Mastour's jerk off became the only bright spot in the second half.

……

It's a bad start, and the class teacher returns to court.

The entire Milan team is in a state of indignation and indignation.It is a feeling of aggrieved feeling that there is nowhere to vent your strength, and nowhere to vent your anger.

Looking at the other rounds of the Champions League quarter-finals:
Manchester City 3-1, Monaco;

Benfica 0-2, Manchester United;
Dortmund 0-1, Atletico Madrid;
CSKA Moscow 0-4 Liverpool;

Juventus 0-0, Bayern;
Real Madrid 3-2, Chelsea;

Arsenal 1-1, Paris Saint-Germain...

It can be predicted that the ownership of the top eight seats in the Champions League has almost been sold out.

Manchester City, Manchester United, Liverpool, these three Premier League teams, are a certainty.

As for the other five games, there is still a bit of suspense...

Especially Real Madrid and Chelsea, actually played a big score of 3 to 2.Although Real Madrid finally won at home, the advantage of Chelsea's two away goals brought suspense back to Stamford Bridge.

Especially in this game, Real Madrid goalkeeper Donnarumma's buttery hand can be regarded as a big stain.

……

Back in Italy, Milan had a not so perfect Valentine's Day.

Just in the league, on Valentine's Day Saturday, Milan played against Sampdoria at home.

The continuation of the poor performance of the Champions League in the middle of the week, 0-0, once again became an ironic signal.

For a while, all the teams seemed to have found a way to deal with the current Milan.That is a very simple old routine, intensive defense and bus.

This also put Kaka in a difficult situation for a while, and it also made him a little happy.This worldwide problem finally came to him.

You know, this is definitely a situation that only strong teams can face.

Milan, finally returned to the column that is regarded as a strong team.

……

February 2, Chinese New Year's Eve.

He Yu is at home and on the Internet, with his relatives and close friends, one by one to pay New Year's greetings.

And now those old friends have families and mouths.In less than two hours, nearly 2 red envelopes were released.

Thinking about it again, it is indeed a bit of a disadvantage for me to have no children.

Of course, in the end, he still sent greetings to Ludovica who was far away across the ocean, in two different time and space.

Ludovica can be regarded as a Chinese hand, so let's not speak Chinese, a thief.

It is also very integrated with Chinese traditional culture and customs.

Spring Festival, this moment of saying goodbye to the old and ushering in the new, naturally her appearance is indispensable...

"Happy New Year, Xiaoman."

It was Ludovica who got the name for himself, and later He Yu also called it Shun Kou.

In the video, Ludovica is wearing a red cheongsam in a Chinatown. His figure is exquisite and has a unique charm of the East and the West.

She grinned, smiled, arched her hands, and said:

"Congratulations, here's the red envelope!"

After He Yu saw it, he couldn't stop laughing from ear to ear.

With a slip of the hand, thousands of red envelopes passed.

Remarks, Euros...

"Come on for tomorrow's game!" Ludovica got down to business, talking about the Champions League in a day's time.

He Yu smiled faintly and said, "Understood.

However, this has little to do with me.

If the team wants to go further, it mainly does not look at me. "

Ludovica replied: "No. As long as you do well, we will be 0-0 every game. If we delay to a penalty kick, we will definitely win."

He Yu knew she was joking, but he still smiled along with her...

"Of course, it is necessary! With me, penalty kicks will win."

……

Milan, San Siro
Back home, Kaka secretly practiced the new tactics for a few days, and finally got to meet someone.

The first 11 people, the position remains the same, 4213:

Goalkeeper, No. 22 He Yu;
Central defender, No. 13 Romagnoli, No. 26 Sportelli;

Left back, No. 17 Negri;

Right back, No. 23 Bellanova;
Central midfielder, No. 10 Kovacic, No. 14 Brescianini;

Front midfielder, No. 32 Diaz;

Left winger, No. 11 Mastour;
Right winger, No. 7 Berardi;
Center forward, No. 20 Toning.

The main central defender, Ercolani was injured and did not play.Robertson did not play, let the teenager Negri continue to play.

Kanter also did not appear, he took a break and replaced Brescianini.

The biggest change is that the front line is the first, and it is no longer Cutrone who has remained unchanged for thousands of years.

Toning's starting lineup is naturally designed to break the opponent's dense defense.

A high center forward with a long pass is the most likely secret weapon...
