While the two were talking, they suddenly heard the away Milan fans shouting, and the two looked up, it turned out that AC Milan was attacking, and the ball was at Zhang Shujie's feet.

At this moment, Zhang Shujie was near the middle circle, Coke and Gabby forced over, Zhang Shujie knocked the ball to Chen Zihua, and ran to the front court by himself, Cork followed closely beside him, and Gabi blocked between Zhang Shujie and Chen Zihua to prevent Chen Zihua from giving the ball back to him.

Chen Zihua also had people around him, Carrasco was close to him, and Gameiro also returned to the backfield and approached Chen Zihua. Chen Zihua saw that he couldn't pass the ball to Zhang Shujie, so he handed the ball to Silva a little ahead, Silva took advantage of the opponent to force up, and the ball went to the left, Rodriguez stopped the ball, Tang Ling and Carrasco approached him, and the two of them forced the ball to the sideline.

Rodriguez gave the ball to Xu Ziyi, Xu Ziyi and then Zhang Shujie, at this time Zhang Shujie was at the top of the arc of the penalty area, which is also the place with the most defensive players, he didn't stick to the ball too much, and quickly gave it to Kessie, Chen Zihua ran to the penalty area and took away a Atletico Madrid player, Kessie handed it to Xu Ziyi, and Xu Ziyi gave it to Rodriguez.

AC Milan's series of passes were so fluid that Rodriguez had already slotted the ball into the box before Atletico's siege tactics could come into use. He is not for Zhang Shujie, nor for Silva, these two people have attracted almost the entire defense of Atletico Madrid, as well as Chen Zihua and Kessie, who were inserted in the back, and also pulled away the two midfielders Koke and Gabi.

Xu Ziyi rushed over, he aimed at the goal, fired a low left-footed shot, the ball passed under Godin's raised right leg, and then passed through Oblak, who fell to the ground to save, crossed the goal line, and hung the net.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!1:0!Xu Ziyi leads Atletico Madrid away for AC Milan!

It was Xu Ziyi's third Champions League goal of the season and his first Champions League knockout goal for Milan. He was also delighted and ran to Rodriguez, who had assisted him, and the two hugged and celebrated, and the other Milan players soon ran over and gathered around the billboard on the bottom line to celebrate the goal.

"AC Milan, who scored the first goal, may not be a little unexpected, AC Milan really has no advantage on the field, and the possession rate is 10% less than that of Atletico Madrid, but it is such a AC Milan that does not have the upper hand on the field, and it scored first at the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium!"

Atletico fans are not happy; Chen Hui looked at Sun Delong: "What do you think of this goal?"

"Seriously, I'm not surprised, even if Milan were passive in the first 20 minutes, I think it's normal for them to score first. As a team that focuses on defense and counter-attack, they never pursue the effect of the scene, they just want to send the ball to the opponent's goal in the shortest possible time and as quickly as possible. ”

Sun Delong is right, in the strong dialogue, AC Milan has never been obsessed with possession, which may have something to do with his personal style of play. When he was a player, Inzaghi would never take an extra step on the pitch, and his dribbling skills were really average, but he always used various methods to kick the ball into the goal, and now as a manager, he has brought this thinking to the players.

Dribble with the ball, take as little as possible. Scoring goals is king!

In fact, this attack did not fully reflect the efficiency of AC Milan in the counter-attack, and they passed a little more up front, which was mainly related to Atletico's siege. Atletico Madrid relied on physical strength to besiege Milan with all their might, so that Milan had to use many passes to open up space, coupled with the firepower attraction of Zhang Shujie and others in the frontcourt, it created Xu Ziyi's goal.

Inzaghi happily drummed on the sidelines, then walked to the dugout with a smile and sat down. Simeone, on the other hand, frowned, the course of the game was quite different from his pre-match expectations, Atletico failed to score first, so the rest of the game was more troublesome. Simeone is well aware that the team's style of play is physically demanding, and can only support one disappearance, and it will not exceed 70 minutes at most. Atletico can't concede any more goals, otherwise they may not be able to win this game at home.

In the thirtieth minute of the game, Xu Ziyi's goal gave AC Milan the away lead.

After taking the lead, AC Milan further reduced their line-up and they wanted Atletico Madrid to play completely. Inzaghi still has an idea in his heart, he wants to use ball control to suppress Atletico's attack, but now is not the time, this game has only been played for half an hour, Atletico Madrid's physical fitness is still very abundant, if you blindly emphasize ball control now, it is very likely to be surrounded and snatched the ball, so Inzaghi plans to wait until 60 minutes after the second half, and then use the ball to transfer when the physical consumption of Atletico Madrid players is relatively large.

Atletico Madrid have no choice but to attack, they are now not just a matter of falling behind by one goal, but also allowing AC Milan to get an away goal, in this kind of double round-robin knockout round, one more away goal is one more point of danger, so Atletico must equalize and overtake the score as soon as possible.

AC Milan retreated to within 40 meters of their own side, and Atletico Madrid pressed almost all of them, but what could they do if they pressed up? AC Milan simply gave up the ball, so Atletico Madrid's pressing tactics could not play a role.

'Now AC Milan is in the defensive phase. If you are a friend who has just turned on the TV, it is easy to create an illusion that the game is about to end, but in fact, the first half of the game has not been played. However, don't think that AC Milan were suppressed as a last resort, in fact they deliberately lured Atletico out. ”

Gabi and Koke couldn't pass the ball to AC Milan's penalty area in the middle, so they had to go to the side, Felipe and Tang Ling became the people with the most exits on the field, the two frequently received passes from teammates on the side, but they could only choose to cross, but Yan Tao stayed in the penalty area, his bounce and header ability was enough to beat Griezmann and Gameiro, who were less than 1.8 meters tall. Godin, Saul and other players saw that the two strikers could not grab the header, so they rushed into the penalty area to fight for the header.

For six minutes, AC Milan didn't cross the halfway line, but Atletico Madrid didn't get too many chances, and Koke had a shot in the box. As for Antoine Griezmann and Gameiro, they simply couldn't get the ball in the box.

In the 37th minute, Yan Tao pushed out Tang Ling's cross, Kessie hit it on the penalty line again, and gave it to Kessie, Kessie's first kick to Chen Zihua was cut off, but Musacchio immediately took the ball back and passed it to Conte.

Felipe hurriedly returned to the defense, Zhang Shujie pulled the side from the middle, raised his arms while running, and shouted in his mouth: "Andre, this way!"

Conte took a look, picked up his right foot, and passed the ball to Zhang Shujie.
