Chapter 174: Complete Victory
"2-0! Inter Milan are two goals ahead, AC Milan are in a big difficult situation, so it may be unfair for AC Milan to say that, but the truth is, I do think AC Milan want to beat Inter Milan 'away', at the moment, it is a very difficult task......
'Inter Milan were very active on both sides, Adriano's goal came from Juan Mata on the left, and Sergio Aguero's goal came from David Milan on the right, and the defence was shattered. β
When the young Argentine striker joined Inter Milan for 16 million euros, he was still questioned, and people were very incomprehensible that Leon spent so much money to get a 17-year-old player, but now, nearly three years later, Aguero has grown into the most anticipated young star in international football! Maradona has even publicly stated many times that Aguero is his successor. Leon's accuracy in seeing people has been verified once again. β
After praising the players of Inter Milan and Leon, the commentator also began to analyze and criticize the goal conceded by AC Milan.
"During the whole process of conceding the goal, AC Milan looked a little busy and flustered in the face of Inter Milan's counterattack. β
'If you have to find a player responsible for the goal, it's Emerson!'
"In the face of McConn's breakthrough, Emerson was too easy to see what he did on the field!"
Emerson really lived up to the nickname "Park Gatekeeper" given to him by the Spanish media. At 32 years old, he looks as old as 45, and if it weren't for Gattuso's injury, it's hard to imagine that he would have qualified for the Milan derby!" Ferrari quipped.
"If I were Carlo Ancelotti, even if Gattuso couldn't play, I wouldn't use Emerson, and even if I was replaced by Brockie, it would be more reliable than Emerson. Rossi was even more unsparing in his criticism of Emerson.
"In the summer, AC Milan spent five million euros to get Emerson from Real Madrid, Galliani was very happy, and AC Milan was very excited to 'snatch' Emerson from Inter Milan, AC Milan's midfielder is also considered to be probably the best midfielder in Serie A, and now it seems that it is really a black humor!" Ferrari shook his head and said.
***********
With two goals down, AC Milan tried to organise an attack.
However, Leon has a specific arrangement for AC Milan.
Leon knows that to contain AC Milan's attack, the key is to freeze Pirlo, the heart of their midfield.
Andrea Pirlo plays a pivotal role in AC Milan's midfield, he is the brains of AC Milan's midfield, connecting AC Milan's front and back courts. This is the starting point of AC Milan's attack, the point of formation of the attack.
As long as Pirlo is guarded, it will be difficult for AC Milan's attack to be fluid.
Suffice it to say, as long as Pirlo is contained, AC Milan are not too much of a threat.
Leon asked Carlos to contain Pirlo specifically, and he gave Carlos a clear task, that is, he would never let Pirlo hold the ball comfortably. In order to contain and interfere with Pirlo, he even did not hesitate to use foul tactics.
In the face of Carlos's almost kraft candy and fierce defense, Pirlo played very hard, after he got the ball, the first thing to consider was not how to organize and schedule, but how to avoid Carlos's pressing, which made Pirlo unable to focus on the attack at all, and his state was greatly affected.
Originally, in AC Milan's offensive tactics, Pirlo was able to play well because he had Ambrosini and Gattuso two bodyguards by his side, and they were escorted, allowing Pirlo to give full play to his organizational and offensive talents.
In today's game, Carlo Ancelotti also paired Pirlo with two bodyguards, Emerson and Ambrosini.
However, Emerson's form is simply terrible, and he is suddenly dizzy by Inter Milan's players, not to mention providing protection for Pirlo here, his defensive area has simply become a big colander, and it is the hardest hit area for Inter Milan to break through easily.
As for Ambrosini, he was pinned down by Modric and it was equally difficult for Pirlo to provide much help.
So in this game, Pirlo played awkwardly by himself.
As long as he gets the ball, the first thing to worry about is Carlos' tough defense.
Even if Carlos is sometimes taken away by Kaka's strategy, Zanetti or McCone or Modric, or even Silva and other players will staggered to mark him.
Even if it was hard to get rid of it, just about to try to break through or organize a pass, the opponent decisively fouled, not a big move, not bad, basically not to eat cards, but, very effective: the whistle sounded, the game was interrupted, and Pirlo's state was interrupted.
Therefore, AC Milan's attack was dismembered and fragmented, and it was basically difficult to play a smooth coordination, and the players had no choice but to fight on their own.
***********
If you're playing against a team of average quality, there are players with strong individual quality like Kaka and Ibrahimovic and Seedorf, and with the individual ability of the players, they can also create chances, and that's the value of top stars.
However, they are facing Inter Milan, and it is Leon who is very familiar with them, and Leon has long been prepared for this and has a defensive plan.
Kaka is not the kind of player who has particularly excellent foot skills, can contain many players in a narrow space alone, and create space for other players, in fact, Kaka's biggest feature is to sprint with the ball, he needs sprint space, however, Inter Milan's full-court pressing, it is difficult for Kaka to really get the opportunity and space to sprint, often he just got the ball, he was forced close to the body, physical confrontation, entanglement, and even fouls, anyway, he did not let this Brazilian rush up the speed.
As for Seedorf, Leon has long studied the Dutchman thoroughly, after the Dutchman gets the ball, he will habitually slow down the pace, and Inter Milan's tight defense is not afraid of such a player, and when Seedorf adjusts and observes, he will find that he has no good opportunities whether he breaks through with the ball or passes.
As for Ibrahimovic, the Swedes were stimulated enough by Leon, and the second goal just now was broken from him, Ibrahimovic's mentality obviously had a problem, and in the case of not being able to get midfield support, Ibrahimovic directly chose to fight alone, once he got the ball, he wanted to dribble all the way with his personal skills, but in the face of Materazzi's tough defense and the assistance of other Inter Milan players, the final result of Ibrahimovic's breakthrough with the ball is often the ball at his feet is broken, or he simply fell into a siege and had to pass back, and the attack ended hereγ
***********
"AC Milan are completely restricted!"
"Obviously, Li Ang knows AC Milan too well, and he has also made a very targeted arrangement! AC Milan's rare few offensive opportunities have not been able to play an effect!"
As the commentator said, the whole situation on the field is still Inter Milan who has the initiative, and their attack is flowing and jubilant, which puts AC Milan's defense under great pressure!
AC Milan's rare opportunity to attack was stopped by Inter Milan's highly targeted arrangement.
"The duel between Ancelotti and Leon, at least from the first half of the game, the Chinese won completely!" When the referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half, AC Milan was at halftime, 0-2 behind Inter Milan, the commentator looked at Ancelotti with a serious expression and walked straight to the player's road, so he said.
AC Milan's player Tong Gang had a serious expression and quickly passed through the players' tunnel and returned to the locker room.
On the other side, Leon stood on the sidelines, high-fived everyone who left the field, praised them, laughed and laughed, and his face was full of smiles, which was in stark contrast to AC Milan's side.
PS: I'm in a hurry to get a monthly pass, and the monthly pass is almost not moving today, ahhhhhhhh
