Chapter 1019: Counterattack Efficiency

Chen Hui looked at the time display on the LCD screen outside the field, and then looked at the situation on the field, and did not rule out the possibility of overtime. Zhang Shujie's shot from outside the box was saved by Areola, Cutrone followed up to make up for it, but was kicked out of the box by Thiago Silva in advance, and Rabiot turned and kicked the ball away from the box.

Romagnoli pushed the ball, but accidentally hit Mbappe's feet, Mbappe moved forward quickly with the ball, Borini immediately withdrew, and close to Mbappe, constantly squeezing him, and kept making small movements in his hands, but these small actions The referee is not so easy to blow the whistle, which makes Mbappe uncomfortable.

He had to hand the ball to Alves, who saw that the number of Milan players on the left was relatively small, and the big foot transferred the ball to Di Maria, who stopped the ball with his left foot and went again, away from Xu Ziyi, who was about to come over.

Di Maria's speed is very fast, and there are Neymar and Kurzawa before and after receiving and covering, so that Di Maria quickly passed through the AC Milan midfield, when Locatelli approached, Di Maria passed the ball to Neymar, Xu Ziyi approached him, but Neymar did not stick to the ball, he made the ball directly to Kurzawa, Kurzawa under the marking of Conte, and handed the ball back to Di Maria, at this time Di Maria has come to the left side of the AC Milan penalty area, he rubbed the ball with his left foot, the ball was in an outside arc, falling to the far post of AC Milan's goal。

"Is Di Maria's ball a pass or a shot? ”

This kind of ball is a bit troublesome, the defender will rub the ball into his own door if he is not careful, but if he doesn't touch the ball, then the ball may spin in on its own. Donnarumma quickly moved towards the back post to reach for the ball over the crossbar, but Cavani burst out of the crowd and was followed by Yan Tao. No matter who touches the ball, the two of them may get the ball into it - if Yan Tao touches it, it is not ruled out that he will put himself in an oolong. However, as a defender, it is not enough to look at the opponent's front to grab a point and ignore it.

Cavani was the first to hit the ball, but because Yan Tao was in time, Cavani's position could not be found, he pushed the ball to Yan Tao's head, the ball bounced, bounced into the air, Donnarumma immediately stepped forward and hit the ball with a single punch. Thiago Silva received the ball from outside the box and crossed it to Pastore, who tried to get the ball to Neymar but saw that there was no room for the ball, so he passed it to Rabiot.

Rabiot flicked horizontally, a gap was opened in front of Xu Ziyi, he was about to raise his foot to shoot, Locatelli grabbed the ball with an arrow, and then he passed to Zhang Shujie in front of him.

Paris Saint-Germain immediately returned to defense. Because after conceding the second goal, Paris paid more attention to the defense, and they were afraid of conceding again, so the total number of troops invested in this attack was not as much as before, and the defense line was relatively neat.

Zhang Shujie carried the ball forward by himself, and the Parisian players did not dare to grab his ball casually, especially after he ran up, with his skills, speed and explosiveness, it was difficult for ordinary people to grab it. A strong defender like Yan Tao didn't dare to say that he would be able to accurately snatch the ball back from under his feet during Zhang Shujie's dribbling.

I only heard He Wei say loudly: "AC Milan's counterattack has played again! It is estimated that Emeli is a little nervous now! Paris has suffered twice in AC Milan's counterattack, and I don't know if there will be a third time." ”

Xu Yang said with a smile: "If there is a mistake in the defense line of Paris, this time it may be the third time." ”

Zhang Shujie didn't go too far either, and he was also observing the Paris defense while dribbling the ball. Cutrone had already run to the front, Thiago Silva followed him, keeping an eye on him at all times, Chen Zihua and Xu Ziyi gradually inserted from behind, but the Parisian midfielders were also in the middle of the retreat and did not lose their position. Marquinhos slowly pressed towards Zhang Shujie, and Zhang Shujie saw that Paris's retreat was successful, so he did not insist on dribbling forward, but distributed the ball to Conte on the right.

Conte will be under a lot of pressure, as Neymar has only had to face one Kurzava and now has one more Di Maria, as Neymar is largely uninvolved in defending. Although Paris played three midfielders and Di Maria would theoretically have to occupy a position in the middle, the Argentine star was born on the wing after all, and attacking from the wing is what he does best.

Locatelli came up to relieve the pressure for Conte. Locatelli's performance this season has far exceeded expectations, taking the final as an example, in the first half he was more in charge of Rodriguez, and after Di Maria came on in the second half, he had to assist Conte, who had just turned 20 and grew very quickly around Xu Ziyi and Chen Zihua. It's a pity that because Italy didn't get a place in the round of 32 of this summer's World Cup, fans who like Locatelli can't see him in Russia.

Luckily, Locatelli is still young, and he will only be 24 years old at the next World Cup, so maybe that moment will be his glory.

Locatelli had already cut diagonally to the right to meet Conte, Conte gave him the ball, he took the ball and looked at the penalty area, there were more players in Paris than in Milan, Locatelli did not rush inside, but made the ball back to Yan Tao.

Chen Hui found a detail, AC Milan rarely gets the ball cut off by the opponent when they counterattack. If the opponent wants to get a player, either Milan has a failed shot on goal, or after the ball has been scored, the opposing player restarts the ball in the centre circle. On rare occasions, AC Milan will be intercepted on the counter-attack. This shows that the Rossoneri's counter-attacking efficiency is really high!

*****************

"Xu Yang, do you think that AC Milan almost never gives the opponent a chance to counterattack when counterattacking! Most of the opponents are after AC Milan's wave of attacks is over, and it is possible to regain the ball. ”

"I've noticed that! Milan's counter-attacks are very fast, and often in the process of AC Milan's counter-attack, the opponents can only be busy withdrawing the formation, and there is no time to grab the ball. ”

"Indeed, this is the speed of AC Milan's counterattack! Let's not talk about other tactics, just talk about this defense, Inzaghi has formulated the team very well!"

Yan Tao crosses the ball to Bonucci. Paris retreated faster than ever before, and although AC Milan hit the 30-metre area at the back, they couldn't think of a suitable way to pass the ball into the penalty area for the time being, so they could only kick back and forth outside the penalty area.

As the minutes passed, Inzaghi stood calmly on the sidelines and watched the attacking Milan, and Emily was not as nervous as before, which would have done a good job in Paris's defense, AC Milan had not yet found gaps and spaces, but as long as the ball was still on AC Milan's side, then the initiative of the attack was in their hands.
