Chapter 301 The goal of the top eight is reached
After Seidorf appeared, AC Milan's offensive still did not see much
Five or six minutes later, Leonardo made another substitution adjustment, replaced right back Abbott and replaced Beckham, so a substitution adjustment to strengthen the offense.
As the game time passes, Leonardo's team must be desperate, they must have had the fierce attack of the En family to complete this almost impossible reversal.
Lucescu also replaced Judson and replaced Douglas Costa to increase the speed of the counterattack.
He then replaced Adriano and replaced a defensive midfielder Kravchenko.
Everything is mainly about defense and counterattack.
In this way, the one who was at the forefront would become Xu Qi.
Xu Qi, a panacea player, became the team's single arrow again at this time.
He was like a nail in the most uncomfortable position in the AC Milan defense line, and he restrained AC Milan's entire defense line alone and dared not press too much.
This also caused the three lines of AC Milan to remain tight and maintain the siege of the Donetsk miners.
In this game, AC Milan showed its level even worse than the first round of the two teams.
One reason is Nesta's absence, and this is Donbas Arena, the home court of the Donetsk Miners.
Donbas Arena is currently developing towards the home court of the Devil, which is famous in Europe.
Here, it is difficult for them to exert their full strength.
Leonardo played his last card before the seventy minutes of the game.
He replaced Borelo and replaced Jiuye Inzaji.
This is his last hope, and he hopes to rely on the killer who once scored goals in the Champions League to save this team that has fallen into the abyss.
The remaining time for the game is only twenty minutes.
Within these twenty minutes, AC Milan must score two goals to have a chance to enter the Champions League quarterfinals.
This is a very difficult test.
A long shot from Seidorf deviated from the Donetsk Miners goal.
Once again, AC Milan team had to take a kick outside the penalty area without getting a good chance.
Unfortunately, the world wave cannot be easily produced.
Every time they squander the opportunity, it means they are one step further away from the quarterfinals of the Champions League.
Beckham made a cross, and the top of Hunterlaer's goal did not threaten the goal of the Dodonetsk Miners.
At this time, even AC Milan, who has always been steady, felt a little impatient. After all, it was really too difficult to reverse this game.
Losing to the Donetsk Miners is too difficult to accept.
Especially before, many AC Milan fans believed that AC Milan would be the team that represented Serie A team to enter the Champions League quarterfinals.
But although Fiorentina was eliminated by Bayern, there were some controversy in those two games. Fiorentina was not completely defeated by Bayern Munich, and they had the opportunity to enter the quarterfinals.
Inter Milan defeated the Champions League super favorite Chelsea, showing extremely powerful combat power.
At the same time, Inter Milan has become the first Serie A team to reach the quarterfinals, and is very likely to be the only one.
However, at this moment, AC Milan won the best draw and faced a not-so-strong opponent, but was already stepping on the edge of the cliff with one foot.
All AC Milan fans are nervous. They can already predict that if they are eliminated by a team like Donetsk Miners, they will definitely be ridiculed by many arch-rival fans.
However, in the face of such a crisis, they had no choice.
As time continues to pass, fans of the Donetsk Miners are becoming less and less nervous. They seem to see the team's stable defense and think that the team will not be able to concede two goals within this period.
Indeed, even the commentator of Sky Sports said: "It seems that it's time for us to say goodbye to AC Milan. They have not created any decent opportunities in the last period."
On the contrary, after a counterattack, Xu Qi sent out a hanging goal, but this time the hanging goal did not hit the goal range, but hit the post, and then bounced back and was steadily held by Abiati who was chasing back.
Although Xu Qi did not score his eighth goal in the Champions League, this goal was enough to scare AC Milan.
They pressed up and didn't get much chance. Instead, they were hit by the opponent's random counterattack.
This is indeed not good.
Leonardo has used up all his tricks. He is also a rookie coach. At the beginning of the season, Ancelotti broke up with AC Milan and went to Chelsea to coach the Blues. Leonardo, as a senior executive of Milan, took office and became AC Milan's new coach.
However, so far, Leonardo has indeed not shown his outstanding talent as a coach, especially in the face of such a dilemma, he is at a loss.
I could only look at the situation on the field with a blank look on my face.
Even when Xu Qi lies past AC Milan's defense again and almost hits the ball into AC Milan's goal again, Leonardo doesn't feel nervous.
In the 83rd minute, Beckham shot his right foot into the penalty area and was volleyed by Piatov. He was almost blocked from the bottom line.
In the 88th minute, Beckham sent a wonderful pass on the right, but although Inzaghi got the point, he failed to play right and missed the opportunity to save a glimmer of hope.
As the injury stoppage time approaches, the fourth official raised his sign for four minutes to stoppage time.
AC Milan wants to score two goals in the next four minutes to reverse the difficulty, and the difficulty is probably not inferior to the Camp Nou miracle that Manchester United once staged.
The injury time is also very tense and intense, but as time goes by, it has become a foregone conclusion that it has been eliminated in AC Milan.
In the last ten seconds, the ball possession was actually in the hands of the Donetsk Miners. Xu Qi carried the ball with his strong personal ability to protect the ball, and protected the ball for more than ten seconds under the entanglement of Thiago Silva and Ambrosini. Finally, he finally waited for the whistle that the referee blew up the game!
At that moment, Xu Qi drove away the ball under his feet vigorously, kneeling directly on the ground and trembled violently!
He was extremely happy. What a great achievement in the quarterfinals of the Champions League. Before the season, no one really expected that they could go so far in the Champions League.
"The game is over. The Donetsk Miners eliminated AC Milan with a 2-2 first leg and a one-to-zero total score of 3-2 at home. Xu Qi played a crucial role in these two rounds of games! AC Milan now has too many problems, and they need to summarize them well. Let us congratulate Donetsk Miners on their first leg and hope AC Milan can return to the top as soon as possible." Liu Jianhong said these words smoothly.
Accompanied by the loud singing of Donetsk miners and fans in the Donbas Arena, the broadcast screen of tv5 has also switched to the advertisement...
