The match continued after the AC Milan players kicked off.

After conceding the goal, AC Milan wanted to launch a quick counterattack, but their attack had only been completed once, and they were overwhelmed by Manchester City's overwhelming rapid attack.

Manchester City, who were leading at home, launched wave after wave of attacks on the AC Milan goal amid the tsunami of the home fans' tsunami.

These attacks were so rapid that AC Milan couldn't breathe at all.

Allegri is a little anxious, look at this posture, don't think about scoring goals first, keep the goal first, it's good not to lose the ball.

Assistant coach Tasotti has also been shouting from the sidelines, asking the players to hold steady and not panic.

City's attacking frenzy lasted about ten minutes before it finally waned.

AC Milan can finally catch their breath.

Fortunately, their goal did not continue to lose in the past ten minutes, and the whole line of defense finally defended.

Now that I think about it, it's really scary that if Manchester City scores another goal in those 10 minutes, then this game may be too difficult to play.

Fortunately, God forbid, they didn't concede any more goals, and the score was still 0-1, so AC Milan still had something to do.

The Italian team has never been afraid of the opposition attack, they are resilient and as long as they don't concede any more goals, they have the confidence to play a beautiful counter-attack.

AC Milan went on the offensive.

The target, of course, is Manchester City's centre-back Stephen Savic.

Pato found Savage again, while his teammate passed the ball over.

Just when Pato thought he could break through easily, he stumbled on his feet.

The ball that was about to be passed to his feet was grabbed by Savage in advance and was broken all at once!

Pato turned his head to look at Savic's back in surprise, he didn't expect Savic's movements to be so vigorous and agile, and the grabbing would be so fast!

Pato was surprised, as was the AC Milan player Van Bommel who passed the ball to him.

Mancini couldn't help but applaud Savic's tackle, he was aggrieved in his heart, why did he use Savic? Why? It's not that no one is available! Manchester City's central defender actually didn't have enough depth on the bench, and after Kompany's injury, Mancini looked at the bench, and suddenly no one was available, in this case, he chose the young and energetic Savic.

Savic is fast at centre-back, and Mancini wants to capitalise on that.

Now Savage's top grab is a testament to his quality.

Pato may not have seen it, but Mancini could see it clearly from the sidelines.

As Van Bommel passed the ball to Pato, the Dutchman was watching the ball in his head.

At this time, Savic, who was originally in front of him, suddenly started, stepped up with a lunge, and then used his physical advantage to squeeze Pato to the side, cutting off the football from Van Bommel

This defensive move speaks volumes about how good Savic's explosiveness is.

He took a big step and started quickly.

Seeing this scene, Mancini was relieved and shouted hello to Savage from the bottom of his heart.

As a centre-back, Savic is still a little inexperienced, after all, he is only 21 years old.

But being young also has the benefits of being young, first of all, excellent physical fitness, fast speed, and secondly, daring to rush and dare to fight.

That's what Mancini needs.

Against AC Milan, Roberto Mancini needed such a Savic.

But the real test is not over, and Mancini is more concerned than Pato about Savage's performance in defending Robinho.

Pato looked at Savage in disbelief, as did Van Bommel.

Both of them even forgot to step forward to counter-kick the ball and let Savage pass the ball with ease.

"Savage made a very nice defense!" said John Mortenson, with some surprise. "His tackle was completely unexpected"

Savage was solid defensively, with two successful tackles.

Once for a steal of Pato and once for Boateng.

Both men were interrupted by Savage's sudden up-and-go and conceded the ball.

Lineker also began to praise Savic, the young central defender, the first start, was a Champions League game, and it was also the second in the knockout round, against the Serie A champion AC Milan, such a performance is indeed quite good.

There was also a burst of surprise in the media seat, and they also saw that Savic had a very good grasp of the timing of the grab, and he didn't grab any balls, and he wouldn't have some balls, preferring to stand still. But as long as he thinks the timing is right, he gets up quickly, and with the fact that he starts really fast, he's been able to make three wins in a row.

This young player has impressed everyone.

"It's weird, Savage seems to have gotten used to the rhythm and atmosphere of the game, and there is no nervousness at all in him, compared to the frizziness at the beginning, and now he seems to be much more confident and doesn't know what happened to him. ”

It wasn't just the two commentators who were surprised, but also AC Milan coach Allegri who was on the sidelines.

He really didn't expect Savic, who should be the Achilles heel of Manchester City's backline, to perform so eye-catchingly, disrupting AC Milan's attack in a row

It really surprised him and caught him off guard.

In the first half, because of Savic's excellent performance, Manchester City looked more relaxed and comfortable in defense.

The score was also fixed at 1-0.

Both sides went into halftime with the scoreline.

At half-time, Mancini made a rare tribute to Savic for putting him in the hands of a young lad who was so good that he had a lot of face.

But after the praise, his expression returned to seriousness.

'The second half was more of a test because in the first half Robinho didn't play and in the second half you were tested more, Stephen. Mancini said to Savage. "But that's okay, remember what we practiced in training, working well with your team-mates, even Robinho has nothing to fear. ”

Aguero suddenly shouted loudly next to him: "That's it, Stephen, what is Robinho afraid of? You face Yang Fan in training every day!"

Everyone burst out laughing.

Someone also turned their heads to look at Yang Fan.

Yang Fan, who was lying on the gun, rolled his eyes, Aguero, this guy

Even the serious Mancini couldn't hold back, a smile appeared on his face, and the atmosphere in the locker room instantly became much more relaxed and joyful.

Savage felt the kindness of everyone's encouragement and laughed.

Mancini laughed and said to Savage: "Aguero is right, Stephen. You're facing Yang Fan in training every day!" he repeated Robinho's words.

Yes, who is more powerful Yang Fan or Robinho?

Yang Fan, of course.

Is it more terrifying?

It's also Yang Fan

I work as a sparring partner for Yang Fan every day, and I'm afraid of Robinho and Ibrahimovic?!

In the AC dressing room, Allegri was telling Robinho: "You were a little quiet in the first half, but in the second half you had to be lively and use your pace to break down their left side. Savage loves grabbing, and this is just the right thing for you. And he's got a yellow card on him, so he'll definitely have some scruples in defence

Robinho nodded his head again and again, and finally he said: "Don't worry, boss, I won't let you down"

"Good!" Allegri nodded vigorously.

He's really bullish on Robinho, a Brazilian who hasn't reached as much height as one might expect, but Robinho is the type of player that AC Milan have been missing.

Allegri glanced at Ibrahimovic and didn't say anything, he knew that the Swede was holding his breath to compete with Yang Fan.

The second half resumed after a fifteen-minute break, with no substitutions being made.

However, in terms of tactics, some fine-tuning has been made.

In the second half, Robinho's chances for the ball increased significantly, and his right side became an important corridor for AC Milan's attack.

"AC Milan counter-attack, Robinho gets the ball on the wing" Commentator John Mortensen raised his voice.

Manchester City are on the defence and this is the perfect time for Robinho to use his pace

Sure enough, Robinho, after getting the ball, quickly turned and drove the ball forward.

Nasri rushed in from the middle to defend, but Robinho forced it out with his speed

"Robinho is so pretty, Nasri doesn't even have a chance to foul!"

The few AC Milan fans in the stands cheered, but their cheers were quickly drowned out by the boos of the City fans

At the same time, Savage also pounced on football.

This time Robinho learned from his previous experience and didn't go too far, he gently stepped forward to break through Savage with his speed, and then continued to control the ball, and then went straight into the box to create chaos, and then passed the ball to his team-mate

Robinho had a good idea.

Just when Robinho was thinking so, he suddenly found that the football he had gone out of his game was gone!

Savage beside him was already lying on the ground and making a tackle, and what about the ball?

I've already let him destroy it!

Robinho was shocked!

In fact, at the moment when he just played the ball, Savic had already made a quick tackle, and when he ran with Robinho, he stretched out his right foot to the outside and blocked the football that Robinho walked out!

It's a very well-timed tackle!

Robinho hurriedly stopped, but the strong inertia still made him rush out, and when he was headed, he saw that the football shoveled out by Savage did not go out of bounds, but happened to fall at the feet of the chasing Kolarov.

The left wing-back quickly slashed the ball into the midfield.

Yaya Toure, who was withdrawn, received the football, and then he turned around and sent the football forward again, and sent it to the side where Yang Fan was on the right side!

Worst!

Allegri stood up, AC Milan pressed in an all-round way this time, and now the opponent has cut off the ball, and now it is Manchester City's chance to counterattack!
