Chapter 582 Advance to the Finals
Bayern finally beat AC Milan [-]-[-] away.
After Su Dong scored the second goal, neither side was able to score again.
This result shocked the entire European football world, because it almost meant that Bayern was about to reach the final.
AC Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti said at the post-match press conference that facing Bayern Munich like this, AC Milan really has nothing to do, because they have tried their best.
Ancelotti said that Bayern Munich's entire offense and defense are impeccable, while AC Milan is subject to player injuries and status. Injuries and fatigue are the key factors for losing this game.
And when the media reporter asked, what would the game be like if there were no injuries and fatigue and the players' condition remained at a high level?
"I can't make such a guess." Ancelotti shook his head. "Bayern is younger, full of strength and passion. More importantly, Su Dong is the top scorer in world football in the past few years. He is the only one. He can always cause trouble for our defense."
"If the team is in a [-]% state, I can only say that this will be a close contest, and the outcome is hard to say, but with the current situation of the team, we can't do better."
At the end of the press conference, Ancelotti admitted that Bayern took the initiative to advance, but he said that the team still has a chance in the away game.
Until the last moment, AC Milan will never give up easily.
Not only Ancelotti, AC Milan chairman Silvio Berlusconi also accepted media interviews after the game, regretting the loss, but he expressed his conviction.
"Bayern were better, they played fantastic football, they showed their quality and at one point we completely lost our way."
But Berlusconi believes that losing the first round [-]-[-] at home is not the end of the world, there is still a second round, everything is still possible, AC Milan still has a chance.
Vice-chairman Galliani also said that he is convinced of this strength, and Bayern's strength is indeed stronger.
Jiatu emphasized Su Dong, thinking that he is the most decisive player of Bayern, and also mentioned the fatigue of AC Milan.
"One week later, we will be away at the Allianz Arena. What we need to do now is not to be trapped in this loss, but to reflect and summarize. We must play better football away so that we have a chance to advance."
Sacchi, the godfather of Italian football, believes that after losing the home game, AC Milan has lost the right to advance.
"In the quarter-finals, Su Dong ended the era of Barcelona's second dream team, and in the semi-finals, he personally ended the era of AC Milan." Sacchi regretted this very much.
He believes that AC Milan, the most competitive player in Serie A, has suffered a crushing defeat at Bayern, and judging from various phenomena, AC Milan has no signs of additional investment, which almost means that next season, AC Milan will not have a great improvement in strength.
Sacchi guessed that the future Serie A Champions League will depend on Inter Milan.
This is also the meaning of AC Milan star Kaka.
In an interview with the media after the game, Kaka said that he was convinced of the loss of the game on the one hand, and on the other hand, he also said that he would not give up the second round. He believes that the team needs to improve its overall strength.
"This game made us understand that it is not enough to rely on me, Inzaghi and Pato alone. We have tried our best, but the game still lost."
Kaka's implication is that he is somewhat disappointed by Milan's defeat.
After losing to Cristiano Ronaldo in last year's double footballer selection, Kaka is determined to hit these two awards again this season, but now it seems that there is little hope.
It is somewhat regrettable that AC Milan once again failed in the semi-finals.
……
Su Dong received a call from Albertini unexpectedly after the game.
This senior who took good care of him at Sporting Lisbon in the past is now a guest commentator on Italian TV. He happened to be at the San Siro Stadium and had just finished commentating on the game.
After Su Dong received the call, he immediately asked for leave from the team, took Pepe out of the locker room, and after asking the staff, he came to Albertini's coffee shop not long after.
"Hey, Demi!" Su Dong went straight up and hugged Albertini vigorously.
This long-lost reunion made him very happy, because he had not seen Albertini for a long time.
In fact, when Su Dong played for Barcelona, Barcelona almost introduced Albertini, but it didn't happen in the end because Barcelona introduced Marcos Senna recommended by Su Dong.
In fact, the whole matter had nothing to do with Su Dong, because even if Marcos Senna had not been introduced, Albertini might not have been introduced, but Su Dong still felt somewhat uncomfortable, so he called Albertini specifically for this reason.
"Pepe." Albertini greeted Pepe with a smile.
During his time at Sporting Lisbon, Albertini had the best relationship with Andre Cruz, they were teammates during the AC Milan period, and then Su Dong.
Even Su Dong's free kick was inspired by Albertini.
"I watched tonight's game. To be honest, you performed very well. Milan is really old!" Albertini was full of sighs, obviously feeling very sad for his beloved team's performance of such an old age.
Su Dong felt that Albertini was not necessarily lamenting Milan's old age, but more or less lamenting himself.
He is only 36 years old, and he is still a little young in today's AC Milan team.
But when those forty-year-old veterans were still in their prime, he had already retired, and it had been many years since he left Milan City. How could this not make him feel uncomfortable?
Su Dong didn't want to make it miserable when they met, so he immediately changed the subject and asked about his recent situation.
The current Albertini is doing very well, commenting on the game on weekdays, and his life is quite leisurely.
Many knots in my heart when playing football have now been let go.
That's why he's here at San Siro tonight to comment on the game.
Su Dong could feel that Albertini's mental state was really good.
"Actually, I've wanted to ask for a long time. I heard that you are in a relationship?" Albertini seemed very disbelieving.
Pepe listened with a chuckle.
Not only Albertini, but many people don't really believe it, because Su Dong doesn't feel like someone who knows how to fall in love.
But it turned out that Su Dong not only talked, but also his girlfriend was recognized by everyone as a goddess, and the two got along so happily that Pepe sometimes didn't want to visit his house.
That kind of sweetness is no longer abusing dogs, it even abuses people!
Sure enough, when Albertini asked, Su Dong laughed very sweetly. Needless to say, the expression directly slapped the word happiness on his face, which made Albertini shake his head and laugh when he saw it.
"I have a chance to see what kind of girl can make you look like this."
Su Dong immediately promised to find an opportunity to bring him over to meet Albertini.
……
From Milan back to Munich, Su Dong was cheerful and laughing all the way.
Everyone else thought he was happy that the team had won, but only Pepe knew, not only for this reason, but also because of Albertini.
Su Dong doesn't have many friends, and even fewer and fewer. Those who are really valued by him are only a few people.
Whether it is for Su Dong, Pepe, or Ronnie, the memory of Sporting Lisbon is a happy one, and it is hard for them to forget in their life. So Pepe is still very grateful to Andre Cruz, and Su Dong is also forever grateful to André Cruz and Albertini.
It's funny to say, but they don't have deep feelings for Sporting Lisbon.
Not only Su Dong and Pepe, but also Ronnie.
Maybe it's because they knew their position in the eyes of the club from the very beginning, and they didn't put too much emotion into it, so naturally there was nothing to miss.
Especially like Su Dong, his impression of the head coach Boloni at the time was extremely bad.

…………
On the weekend, the Bundesliga ushered in the No.30 round, and Bayern played against Stuttgart at home.
Eight minutes into the game, Van Bommel broke into the penalty area and made a cross. Su Dong shot angrily and opened the scoring for Bayern.
No. In the 19th minute, Bayern took advantage of a free kick opportunity, which caused a melee in the penalty area, and Schweinsteiger scored with a header.
In the 5 minutes of the second half, Bayern won a free kick 25 meters away from the goal. Su Dong personally took the penalty, and once again achieved it overnight, making another victory for Bayern, [-]-[-].
Subsequently, Franck Ribery, who came off the bench, scored twice in 2 minutes to seal the victory for Bayern.
Five to zero, Bayern broke Stuttgart with five goals at home.
…………
…………
Three days later, the Champions League semi-final second leg.
After defeating their opponents [-]-[-] at the San Siro Stadium in the first round, Bayern still did not dare to be careless when they returned to the Allianz Arena.
Both teams played with the full main lineup, and they both learned from the experience and lessons of the first round, and played more steadily in the second round.
So, the game went on very dull.
Bayern, playing at home, created several opportunities, especially Su Dong, who used his ability to create good scoring opportunities for his teammates, but failed to grasp them.
When AC Milan is fully defending, it is difficult for any team to break through the Rossoneri's goal.
Until the end of the second half of the game, after Robben and Lahm hit the wall on the right, Lahm made a side pass. Su Dong scored a header from close range and scored the winning goal for Bayern.
One to zero!
Bayern finally defeated AC Milan by one goal at home, and then eliminated the Rossoneri with a total score of [-]-[-].
For this result, the outside world has long expected.
Since AC Milan lost [-]-[-] at home in the first round, everyone was basically certain that it would be difficult for the Rossoneri to come back in an away game.
Facts have also proved that Bayern Munich played really steadily. Heynckes did not give Ancelotti any opportunity to take advantage of the formation. In the end, after 10 minutes of hard work between the two sides, Bayern relied on Su Dong's goal and won a small victory.
In another matchup in the Champions League semi-finals, Manchester United defeated Liverpool [-]-[-] at home with a goal from Cristiano Ronaldo, and then successfully advanced to the final with a total score of [-]-[-].
In this way, the two teams in the Champions League final are Bayern and Manchester United.
This is the second time the two teams have met in the Champions League final since Manchester United staged a miraculous comeback in [-].
