I am Kaka

Chapter 184 Choose 1 from 2 or both

The draw ceremony for the 2002-2003 UEFA Champions League knockout stage was held at the UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland.

The players watched the live broadcast together at the club.

This season's Champions League quarter-finals can be regarded as one of the most luxurious lineups in the history of the Champions Cup.

Real Madrid, Manchester United, Juventus, Inter Milan, AC Milan, Ajax, Barcelona, ​​Valencia, all eight teams are members of G14. Except for Valencia, which has not won the Big Ears Cup, the other seven teams All of them have won the Champions League, and the total number of championships is as many as 25 times. Even Valencia, who has not won the championship, has created the feat of entering the Champions League finals for two consecutive years.

There is no avoidance principle in the quarter-finals, so any matchup may happen. The probability of missing the top three in Serie A, La Liga, Barcelona and Valencia at the same time is only 9%.

But this 9% is so magical.

Real Madrid v Manchester United;

Juventus vs Barcelona;

Inter Milan vs. Valencia.

AC Milan draws the upper lottery and will face Ajax, which is considered to be the weakest team in the group.

Both Italy and Spain were lucky enough to escape the early rush of teams from the same country, and the top three in the north of Serie A not only did not meet, but also avoided the two favorites of Real Madrid and Manchester United. As you know, all Italians can't help but look forward to the Italian derby in the semi-finals and finals of the Champions League...

Gazzetta dello Sport: The result was even better than expected! This should be the most satisfying result of the draw for the Italians. Except that Lippi is a bit difficult, Ancelotti and Cooper should be very happy.

Rome's La Repubblica also has a similar opinion, "Although Barcelona performed poorly in the league, it is a completely different face in the Champions League, and even if the old woman can beat Barcelona, ​​the opponent in the semi-finals will be The winners of Real Madrid and Manchester United - the latter two teams should enter the finals in many people's eyes. In comparison, the promotion situation of the Milan duo is much more optimistic, and the Italian derby is very likely to be staged in the semi-finals .”

"Nouvelles" said in a report titled "Avoiding the Civil War and Manchester United" that Cooper drew Valencia for the second consecutive year, and he had already eliminated his opponent in the UEFA Cup last time. The advantages are self-evident; for Milan, being able to run into Ajax, which eliminated them in 1995, is undoubtedly a great opportunity for revenge; Lippi should be the most dissatisfied, because Barcelona is indeed a very Tough opponent.

When looking forward to the semi-final situation, "New Paper" believes that this year's European Champions Cup is very likely to have two rare national derbies, namely Real Madrid vs. Barcelona and AC Milan vs. Inter Milan.

When the smug Ancelotti came back from Switzerland excitedly, he had to face a major choice: keep the Champions League or the league, or both at the same time?

The Champions League has entered the quarter-finals, and the opponent is still the big gift package of Ajax. If you don't fight hard and don't use the club's bigwigs to do it, the fans will tear him up first.

Ranked second in the league, only one point away from No. 1 Juventus, and there are only the last eight rounds left in the league. Not to mention winning all of them, as long as the loss of points is not too exaggerated, and they overwhelm Juventus, they may win the championship. After all, Juventus Tooth is facing the same conundrum.

Milan's lineup can still barely satisfy the two-line battle. Although it is impossible to piece together a real 22-person lineup, it is not impossible to use rotation.

In the original time and space, AC Milan chose to fight for the Champions League with all its strength and herd sheep in the league. In the last eight rounds of the league, they won three wins and five losses. They lost the league championship and finally raised the Big Ears Cup.

But now, the biggest change is that the young Kaka replaced the "old" Rivaldo, and Kaka activated Shevchenko, who should have been half-dead this season-although Milan won the Champions League Vaughan finished third in the Ballon d'Or due to poor performances in all competitions,

After De Ge and Henry.

Fatty An certainly doesn't know what the original time and space are, but he sees the situation very clearly. Maldini and Nesta on the back line, Pirlo and Kaka on the midfield line, Inzaghi and Sheva, whether you choose one of the two or both, this must be the main lineup.

If you choose to have all of them, then apart from Sheva and Inzaghi who can rotate, the remaining four will have to fight on two lines, at least not absent in key battles. After all, there are Parma, Inter Milan, Rome is such a difficult opponent.

Fatty convened the coaching staff, the captain, and the team deputy to discuss overnight, and then negotiated with the club management.

He did not say the final decision, and in the external interview is still the official argument that "every game is important, and the goal must be all champions".

But as soon as the starting lineup against Parma came out, everyone realized that this was not just talk.

Kaka suddenly felt that his injury a while ago was actually a good thing, because the 20-day absence gave him a rare recuperation, and he was able to go all out in the latter part of the season.

AC Milan played 442, goalkeeper Abbiati, defenders Simic, Nesta, Costacurta, Maldini, midfielder Gattuso, Redondo, double midfielder Kaka, Seedorf, double forwards Inzaghi, Thomason.

"Four days later is the first game of the quarter-finals of the Champions League, but Ancelotti still arranged for Nesta, Maldini and Kaka to start in this league against Parma. They really wanted a two-lane title and hopefully at the end of the season they won't regret that decision."

"Parma's central midfielder Hidetoshi Nakata missed the game because of a thigh strain. Prand used Bresciano to replace the Japanese. The forward line is the hottest striker combination in Serie A this season. Adriano and Mu In the picture, in addition to Bresciano, there are Ramucci, Barone and E. Filippini in the midfield, Bonera, Caldone, Ferrari, Junior, and goalkeeper Frey in the back."

Ancelotti's expression was serious, and it could be seen that he was under a lot of pressure, so he was a little dissatisfied when he saw Kaka who was laughing and laughing with Adelaide on the field.

But Anshuai's dissatisfaction quickly dissipated after the game started.

"The absence of Rui Costa did not affect AC Milan's attack in the frontcourt. Kaka showed a very good pass scheduling ability, can you believe it? When the kid first came to San Siro, except for the last pass and Apart from the small-scale cooperative passing, the passing organization in the midfield is a disaster..."
