"Ancelotti finally broke the curse of substitutions."
"Previously, there were already three instances where making a substitution led to conceding a goal."
"But this time, after bringing on Chen Zhong, we achieved a comeback and took all three points."
The media are discussing Milan, discussing Ancelotti.
This season, Milan's handling of players is an open secret, and Ancelotti's conservatism is hotly discussed among fans, with some even starting to fear his substitutions.
This season, Ancelotti has made three "conservative substitutions" that caused AC Milan to drop from 3 points to 1 point. After these substitutions, the team quickly conceded a goal, allowing the opposition to equalize.
For example, in the 11th round against Lecce, he was ahead 1-0 when Ancelotti swapped Emerson for goal hero Ronaldinho in the 84th minute. It was Emerson's foul in the 93rd minute that handed the opposition a free kick to equalize.
