Andre Mardela is the nephew of Milan legend Aldo Mardela. After Allegri took over, he became a member of the coaching staff.+

As a technical coach Andre appeared at Old Trafford this time as a "spy" and was obviously commissioned by AC Milan head coach Allegri.

Since AC Milan won Manchester City in the Champions League knockout draw, most Italian media have expressed optimism about Milan's draw. The Milan Sports previously "unrestrained" said that Milan's draw was a top draw, but it was just one of them. Lin Sen has responded to this, and Lin Sen was a little surprised, but Milan's statement was made.

For Chinese people, modesty is a virtue, but modesty is never innate.

In addition to Galliani's official conversation on the day of the draw, the only time Milan expressed his opinion on the draw result was when Allegri was interviewed by the Milan Sports Daily two days ago. "Although Manchester City can play gorgeous football, and they are the champions of the Europa League last season, we are now discussing the Champions League. In the Champions League, they are not a first-class team. I think there is no reason why we won't win if we play at home..."

If Allegri's words are said, then Linson may not be strange, because until here, although Allegri's words are straightforward, at least not arrogant. But Mr Allegri's words still have the second half, "Our focus at this stage is still the league. Both Inter Milan and Napoli are very close to us. I hope we can solve the problem at home, although the team still has many problems now..."

Lin Sen is not irritable, and is not so slight that he will fight to the death when he is despised by others. Therefore, he doesn't know whether it is the media misinterpretation of Allegri's words or whether Allegri intends to play psychological battles. However, in the knockout round in two rounds, what kind of score should be played in the first round to solve the problem? How should AC Milan, who claims to have many problems, solve the problem?

Linsen, who led the team to Milan the day before the game, faced the siege of Italian media, did not choose to confront Allegri, but chose to avoid it and even adopted closed training. Of course, this was a sign of weakness in the eyes of Italian media.

Showing weakness?

Others don't know, but when Andre saw the report from the Milan Sports newspaper, he sneered.

There are many situations where we show weakness. One is that our strength is really inferior to our opponent. We are afraid of losing, so we leave a way out for ourselves as soon as possible. The other is that our strength is stronger than our opponents, playing pigs and eating tigers, and simply teasing others. The Italian media thinks it is the former, but is Manchester City really not as strong as Milan? No matter who mentions this duel, they will mention one thing, that is, Milan's rich experience may become a magic weapon to win.

But this also requires the word "maybe", because experience is part of strength, but it is not the same as everything. In this game alone, at least Andre does not think that AC Milan's experience can really dominate everything, let alone that Manchester City has the need to show weakness, because Manchester City is at least not inferior to AC Milan in terms of cards and state.

Andre "warned" Allegri, so Allegri, who asked him to go to England to watch the game, said that at the press conference. Andre knew that this was Allegri's psychological warfare. But psychological warfare is also a double-edged sword. If used well, it can certainly become a weapon, but it should not be used well. Then he became sharpening his knife for his opponent.

February 16, Milan, Italy.

The last time I came here, this was the Meach Stadium, because the opponent was Inter Milan, and Manchester City suffered a defeat. This time, this was the San Siro Stadium, because the opponent was AC Milan.

Allegri's words were very "bold", but in this game, his platoon was extremely "conservative". Of course, part of this is also due to the loss of injuries. When commentator Andy Gray got the starting lineup for AC Milan, he even thought that Allegri played the system of five defenders or three defenders, but soon, Martin Taylor next to him corrected this idea.

The reason why Andy Gray "misunderstanding" was that Allegri's starting lineup showed three central defenders: Nesta, Jepez and Thiago Silva. If these three players all appeared in the position they were best at, then there was no doubt that Milan wanted a formation that was either five defenders or three defenders. However, this obviously did not meet AC Milan's expectations for this game.

In the knockout match where away goals are scored, everyone knows that they should not concede the ball at home, because once they are concealed, it may become a fatal factor. However, before that, the teams playing at home still need to try their best to score goals so that they can gain some advantages in the away game. These two things seem to be a contradiction, but in fact there is a sequence, and this sequence depends on the strength comparison of both sides.

AC Milan, obviously the latter should be greater than the former, because they certainly don't want to take a zero-to-zero game to England.

Martin Taylor believes that the three central defenders of AC Milan cannot all appear at their best, because when there are two genuine strikers in the starting lineup, the midfield will be too weak. You should know that Manchester City is a five-mile midfielder configuration. Not to mention Flamini, Gattuso and Sidorf are well-known, but one is over 33 years old and the other is nearly 36 years old.

As people say, AC Milan is experienced, but they are really too old, especially in front of this young Manchester City.

However, Lin Sen still has to be glad that he is not facing a complete AC Milan team. At least, Pirlo's absence due to injury is a huge benefit. This player who has almost created a genre is the type that Manchester City fears the most. In addition, Ronaldinho, who returned to Brazil in the past winter transfers, would have a headache if he was still in the team, because Ronaldinho has indeed passed his peak period, but in a game with a short cycle of knockout stage, he is still a player who can decide the game.

Martin Taylor is right. The formation of AC Milan in this game is not 532 or 352, but 4312. Thiago Silva was pushed to the back midfielder and formed three back midfielder with Gattuso and Vramini. Sidov was single-sided midfielder, and the two forwards who just joined AC Milan this season were two forwards: Ibrahimovic and Robinho.

Lin Sen is actually in a complicated mood for AC Milan's starter.

Thiago Silva was once and now his most saliva centre-back. Unfortunately, when the future Brazilian captain transferred to Milan, he was still in the clumsy Málaga, who missed the best opportunity. Ibrahimovic was one of the strikers he admired the most. Lin Sen also had the chance to get him, but unfortunately Lin Sen still gave up because there were too many forwards under him. There are also Robinho, the story between him and Manchester City, or Lin Sen, no longer needs to be repeated.

There is no doubt that Robinho will regard this game as a revenge against his old club.

The fast-paced offense and defense that has entered from the beginning of the game is the rhythm they want for Manchester City, because as long as they can open the offense, they are not afraid of conceding the ball away. In Milan, Allegri's tactical thinking is also very clear, which is to set up a defense in the midfield, assist two full-backs, and then rely on the players' super personal abilities to create opportunities in the front.

Manchester City was the first to get into trouble.

Whether it was a coincidence or a premeditated plan, the change in Milan's "center-back front" has caused huge restrictions on Manchester City's core organization David Silva. Thiago Silva and David Silva, the former won the first four matches between the two Silvas, two of which even intercepted the ball directly from David Silva's feet and launched a counterattack.

The core is limited, and the offensive effect can be imagined, while Milan's counterattack is exciting.

In the 31st minute, AC Milan took the lead in breaking the deadlock of the game, and the goal was the person Manchester City fans least wanted to see, Robinho.

After scoring the goal, Robinho was crazy. He even paid a yellow card and rushed over the Manchester City coaching seat intentionally or unintentionally, and then hugged and celebrated with his teammates on the bench.

In this regard, Allegri could only feel pain and happiness, while Lin Sen just pretended not to see it.

A die-hard fan of AC Milan, the leading anchor of the direttastadio column of 7gold TV, Tiziano Krudelli is even more excited than the Brazilian after Robinho scored. However, if Linson heard his shouting at this time, he would probably only laugh it off. Crudelli said that Robinho did it and made Manchester City and Linson regret it.

There is no regret in the world, let alone Lin Sen never regrets Robinho's departure, not because that person is Robinho, but because of what Robinho did. Moreover, at the moment this is just a goal, a goal that is meaningful for the time being but has not yet decided everything.

Only five minutes later, Manchester City responded to AC Milan's goal.

David Silva, who had hit the wall several times but failed to get benefits, quickly responded. He began to frequently pull to the wingers and wingers to cooperate. On the surface, it seemed that he intended to open a gap in the wingers, but in fact, a direct change in this move was to "transfer" Thiago Silva from the middle, and then, Manchester City's "hidden" core Yaya Toure took over the offensive organization mission.

This small move made AC Milan's mid-lane defensive system suddenly reveal a loophole. Then, Yaya Toure's pass passed through the loophole, and on the other side, Suarez seized the opportunity.

When Suarez scored the ball into the far corner of the goal, Lin Sen on the sidelines did not have any intense celebrations, just applauded.

Very simple applause.
