842 Face One’s Old Employer
The first leg of the 2007-2008 Champions League quarter-final knockout round is coming!
Leeds United will play Elland Road at their home stadium in Rossoneri.
The AC Milan man has arrived at Leeds and is currently preparing for the game against Leeds. However, they did not give any interviews before the game. They are all secretly preparing for the game. Obviously, they attach great importance to this game.
The Rossoneri brought all their main players to Leeds!
The Rossoneri’s strength is very good. They were Champions League champions last season and defending champions this season, so they are naturally attracting much attention.
Most importantly, AC Milan were affected by the Calciopoli incident last season and received a heavy penalty. However, their performance last season was very good, winning the fourth place in the league. Moreover, they have brought in a lot of players this season, but their results this season are not good.
Twenty-three Serie A matches have passed and AC Milan are now ranked fifth behind Inter, Roma, Juventus and Fiorentina.
AC Milan have suffered a lot of injuries this season, including a recent injury to their main goalkeeper, Brazilian Dida, who won’t be able to play this game.
Cafu, Jankulovski, Emerson and Brocchi are also injured. The impact is still considerable. It is said that Ronaldo, who is at the front, is also injured and will not be on the starting line-up for this match.
However, media reporters photographed Ronaldo following AC Milan to Leeds.
Looks like some reports before the game are also problematic, Ronaldo seems to be uninjured, otherwise he will not follow the team to Leeds, but should be in Milan, the latter is Brazil to recover from injuries.
AC Milan’s arrival naturally attracted a lot of attention, but they really didn’t give any interviews. Moreover, the training before the game was closed-door training. They didn’t give the media reporters any chances at all. It was clear that they attached great importance to this game.
AC Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti spoke after knowing about the pre-match press conference and was interviewed by media reporters.
Carlo Ancelotti did not say much at the pre-match press conference as he said: ‘It was a very important game and I know that our opponents are very strong and they have won 22 Premier League games in a row, which is a very, very shocking number. “This also shows that their condition is very good, their strength is very strong!”
Carlo Ancelotti has no intention of perfunctoriness, he is serious!
Ancelotti said, “our opponent is a very amazing opponent, After accepting Leeds United from Loria, Leeds United became a fantastic team. They have been champions for four consecutive years. They are really amazing. To play against such a team, our AC Milan naturally have to go all out and do our best. Otherwise, we might lose this match!
It could be seen that, Carlo Ancelotti frantically gathered information about Leeds United before the game, Because in the pre-match press conference, he had said a lot about the situation and history of Leeds United. There were even some media reporters who had never heard of it. They couldn’t help but give Carlo Ancelotti a thumbs up. With such preparation, AC Milan shouldn’t lose, right?
Carlo Ancelotti finally said: “For this game, we naturally hope that we can not lose. But in the away game is acceptable, our minimum goal is to get away goals, and then win!”
It could be seen that Carlo Ancelotti was very low profile!
–Division Line–
Zhong Cheng knew about AC Milan’s arrival at Leeds a long time ago. He did not inquire about it. Naturally, Zhong Cheng did not send any spies to search for AC Milan, because the team’s Greene Nethercott had already gathered the information on AC Milan.
Moreover, AC Milan’s situation in the past few years was very good. They had made a lot of headlines in the world football field and were a team that everyone was familiar with. Zhong Cheng naturally knew a lot about them.
He really knew a lot about AC Milan’s Zhong Cheng. With the addition of Greene Nethercott’s information, it was basically enough. Does Zhong Cheng still need to send people to inquire about the news?
Zhong Cheng was naturally very cautious about this match, because their opponent was indeed very strong. He was the defending champion of the Champions League.
However, Zhong Cheng was very confident in this match!
Now, Zhong Cheng’s gaze was not on this match, but on a player from AC Milan. This player was still very young!
The young player’s name is Obameyan!
Yes, this is the future Dortmund goalkeeper Oppameyan, who is now a member of AC Milan’s youth team. The 18-year-old has been promoted to the first team by Carlo Ancelotti.
Obameyan, who arrived at AC Milan in January, travelled to Malaysia with AC Milan’s youth team to play in the first Champions League in August last year, scoring seven goals in six games to help the team win the championship and win the best shooter.
Obameyan has been promoted to the first team this season by Carlo Ancelotti, replacing Alexander Pato. Carlo Ancelotti wanted to bring in Alexander Pato to strengthen his front line, but Alexander Pato signed for Leeds United early on, so he could only think of another way to promote Obameyan to the first team.
However, in AC Milan’s first-team team Obameyang has not been able to get a minute to play time, has sat on the bench through. Most of the time, he still played with the youth team, but he usually trained in the first team.
Zhong Cheng naturally knew how powerful Obameyang was. He didn’t pay enough attention to him in AC Milan. Leeds United could really bring Obameyang to Leeds United.
Yes, Zhong Cheng was tempted to bring Obameyang to Leeds United.
Obameyan did not follow AC Milan to Leeds United today because without him on the bench, Ronaldo and the others were seated on the bench. There was no chance for him.
Carlo Ancelotti will not give him a chance to play in such an important Champions League knockout round.
Zhong Cheng was thinking that Oppameiyang should also want to leave AC Milan at this time, because he didn’t have any chances to play here. Right now, he really wanted to have a chance to play, so that would be helpful to his growth.
Leeds United, on the other hand, was now a world-famous youth guard. Young players have a lot of chances to play. This is the paradise that many young players yearn for.
At this moment, Zhong Cheng left this matter to Albertini to dig the corner of the AC Milan team.
Albertini rejected this mission for the first time!
After all, AC Milan was his old owner, and he still had deep feelings for AC Milan. He couldn’t dig out the corner of his old club, but when he learned that Zhong Cheng was optimistic about Obameyang and that Obameyang hadn’t received any attention from AC Milan, Albertini agreed.
Albertini is ready to attack Obameyan!
–Division Line–
Albertini was the legend of AC Milan. He was once the captain of AC Milan. He became famous here and became a top team in the world. His feelings for AC Milan were very much behind him. AC Milan fans also have strong feelings for him, this is his home!
However, Albertini was not happy when he left AC Milan.
Albertini and AC Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti are at odds. Carlo Ancelotti put Albertini in the cold as soon as he arrived at AC Milan, claiming they did not have a place for him and Albertini was loaned out on loan to wander around.
Since Albertini was a confidant of AC Milan’s former head coach and Ancelotti believes Albertini is not suitable for his tactics, he has never faced Albertini head-on.
Therefore, Albertini is a little unhappy with Carlo Ancelotti.
He left his beloved AC Milan because of this guy. Why would Albertini give him a good look?
Now that they have met on the stage of the Champions League, Albertini is ready to avenge his mistake by letting Carlo Ancelotti know how outrageous he was.
Before the game, many media reporters interviewed Albertini. After all, he was going to face his old club, and it was Albertini’s affectionate AC Milan team.
Albertini said before the match: “I was surprised to meet AC Milan in the Champions League. To be honest, I really don’t want to meet AC Milan. After all, it’s my home team!”
Albertini remained silent about Carlo Ancelotti as he faced questions from reporters.
Albertini also said: “Although I love AC Milan very much, but I am now a member of Leeds United, this match I am on Leeds United’s side.” I naturally hope that our Leeds United team can win, advance to the next round, and go further. But if AC Milan are eliminated, I will be very disappointed and painful!
Yes, this match was a torment for Albertini!
Albertini also said: “This AC Milan team is indeed very strong, they will pose a great threat to our Leeds United team.” But I am very confident in our team because we have a coach like Mr. Loria in our squad and it is difficult for Leeds United not to win. “I’m worried about AC Milan because they really don’t have many chances in this game!”
After saying that, Albertini didn’t say anything else. He really didn’t want to say too much about AC Milan. He just hoped that the match would end as soon as possible so that he would feel better.
AC Milan fans also cheered excitedly when they saw Albertini and waved to him. They wished that Albertini could return to AC Milan because this was Albertini’s home and Leeds United was not!
The AC Milan fans shouted loudly, hoping that Alpine could return home to AC Milan.
