Milan, who had snatched possession, launched an attack that did not directly threaten Keylor Navas's goal, and Gross was blocked by Isco with his body when he shot at goal. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although they didn't cause a goal or threaten the goal, the Milan players had no regrets.

They have a very strong belief in their hearts - if they keep playing like this, the advantage will be ours and the victory will be ours!

In the run-up to the game, manager Jose Mourinho showed them a lot of footage of Real Madrid's games, especially in the league this season, where Real Madrid's performance was not very good. Eight rounds of league games have passed, with four wins, two draws and two defeats, and they are only in fourth place, and they are in big trouble in the league.

And the games they lost were all instructive.

Every Milan player had watched a lot of footage of how Real Madrid had become helpless under the frantic pressing of their opponents before this game, and the coaching staff had combined these videos to analyse what they would do if they faced Real Madrid.

Real Madrid has a strong ability to counterattack, so after Milan attack, if they lose the ball, they must not quickly return to defense, but have to immediately pounce on the ball to grab the ball, and create enough pressure on the players with the ball in Real Madrid's backfield, only in this way can they prevent Real Madrid from playing their lethal quick counterattack.

And Real Madrid players also have a weakness, that is, the ability to pass and receive the ball is not as good as Barcelona, when they are facing pressure in the backfield, they often do not choose to use a small range of fast passes to break through the encirclement, but directly kick the football forward, which of course also has their requirements to play a quick counterattack, but it also shows that Real Madrid players do not have the concept of passing backwards in the backfield from their minds, their football is more direct and sharp, but it also lacks some changes.

After the game was well prepared, the Milan players verified that their pre-match arrangements were correct, and everyone was much more confident.

…………

In the next game, as long as the Real Madrid players controlled the ball in the central midfield, they would face the pressing of Dortmund players, sometimes one person, sometimes two people, and even three people around a Real Madrid player.

Even people like Chen Long, who usually don't have too many defensive tasks, are actively running and devoting themselves to the process of "rounding up" Real Madrid players.

He runs tirelessly back and forth on the pitch, and one can't help but worry about his physical strength.

However, Chen Long is now a famous "iron man" in football, so to a certain extent, although this kind of game consumes physical strength, it will not make him collapse immediately

The running Chen Long is part of Milan's full-powered machine, and everyone is running desperately, even Niang, who has just returned from injury.

Because only when everyone runs can we ensure that there are no loopholes in this kind of pressing link, and if one person does not run, then the place where he is will become a breakthrough for Real Madrid.

Therefore, defense is a very disciplined job, which is not the same as attacking by talent. Everyone in defense has to be the screw of the team, and only when they do their job can they make this machine work.

Under the highly unified pressing of the whole Milan team, Real Madrid is indeed very uncomfortable. This is something they didn't expect before the game, when will Milan press their opponents so hard? Playing Ajax, playing Manchester City, they didn't play like that, and in Serie A, they didn't play like that, playing defensive counter-attacking or playing possession is their most common form.

The continuous pressing made Real Madrid's midfield close to out of control, Isco and Morata, two players who are good at taking the ball and passing the ball, were "taken care of" by Milan, which put them under great pressure, it would be good to keep possession, and they were not expected to organize the attack at all, Bale and Osto could not wait for football in front of them, so they could only withdraw to ask for the ball. But when they withdrew, they could only make the midfield more crowded, and the space available to everyone could not be smaller, and there were people everywhere, which made it easier for Dortmund to surround them.

For players like Barquez, who are flexible and can break through, Milan adopts a combination of fouls and sieges far from the danger area, grabbing them if they can grab them, and committing fouls directly if they can't grab them.

Because it is far away from the danger zone, even if it is fouled, it will not be drawn.

In this way, Real Madrid's midfield became a pot of porridge.

Zidane realised that if he continued like this, his team's midfield would be finished.

So he made a decisive substitution.

Even though the game had only just started twenty minutes......

He replaced Casemiro with Mateo Kovacic and a midfielder with a striker.

In the face of Milan's pressing, the role of a midfielder is almost completely unreflected, he can only grab, but can not control the ball and play well, he cannot break the current situation.

Mateo Kovacic, on the other hand, is a player with excellent ball control and passing ability, and since he has come on, he has three playmakers in Real Madrid's midfield. With all things, Real Madrid's midfield has more changes and possibilities, which is also Zidane's countermeasure to deal with Milan's high pressing.

…………

"It's only been 20 minutes before Real Madrid was forced to make a substitution, and it seems that Milan is really making Real Madrid very uncomfortable...... Zidane had to make this decision, Casemiro may have just finished warming up, and he has to come back to sit on the cold bench, which is really a pity. But if such a substitution is not made, I am afraid that Real Madrid's midfield will be even worse. So such a substitution like a strong man breaking his wrist is necessary......" Zhan Jun explained to the Chinese fans in front of the TV.

"Forcing Real Madrid to make substitutions in the first 20 minutes fully shows that Mourinho's tactics are correct." "But with Mateo Kovacic, the situation could change. Milan need to be careful with this substitution. ”

After Mateo Kovacic came up, Real Madrid's midfield has indeed improved to a certain extent, at least now Milan needs to put in more effort if they want to paralyze Real Madrid's midfield, because defending Kovacecic is not the same as defending Casemiro.

But Milan didn't think about defending alone, this is their home stadium, and all the purpose of their grabbing is just to score goals.

After the robbery of Real Madrid could not organize an effective attack, of course, it should be thought about how to break their goal.

Ten minutes after Kovacecic came on in the 30th minute, Milan were in the ascendancy, and their run not only allowed them to steal the ball from Real Madrid, but also allowed them to pass the ball smoothly.

Any midfield passer may be very envious of Chen Long at this moment, because he doesn't have to look up at all, he is surrounded by teammates who answer him, as long as he passes the ball, no matter which way he passes, he will definitely be caught by his teammates. This is in stark contrast to the opposing player who observes the ball for a long time and pushes it away with his hands to grab the ball, protecting the ball messily in the wind, and finding that there is no suitable passing object at all.

But there are too many people to pass the ball to, and it's a nuisance, because you can't just send the ball to your teammate's feet, and then it's safest to pass the ball back. Passing is just a means to be able to threaten the opponent's goal, so finding the most suitable target among so many passing targets to choose from is a test of the passer's ability.

Because they are on the counter-attack immediately after grabbing the ball, there is not so much time for the passers to observe and think, they have to make decisions immediately so that they can take advantage of the fleeting gaps and opportunities.

And this kind of processing speed is not difficult for Chen Long......

In the 34th minute, Real Madrid backfield, Kovacecic took the ball, and Oqiao rushed up to force Kovacic. Isco, on the other hand, quickly turned and ran wide, opening up the angle and distance to allow Kovacic to pass the ball through.

Kovacic also saw Isco's movement.

Not only did he see it, but Long Chen also saw it......

So just as Kovacic passed the football to Isco, Chen Long stabbed diagonally and blocked the pass.

The offensive and defensive sides flipped in an instant!

When he broke the ball, he didn't look up to observe, and he didn't think about countermeasures, and when the ball was broken with the instep of his left foot, his right foot followed and kicked towards the ball, and the outside of his right foot slashed towards the ball, which was an unconventional and somewhat dazzling passing action. But Chen Longke is definitely not doing it to show off his skills, he is doing it to save time, which is at least a second faster than adjusting his posture and then passing the ball out with the instep of his right foot.

And on a counter-attack, one second may be enough to determine the success or failure of this attack.

The ball was sliced out by his outside instep and made a very noticeable arc in the air, straight to the side of the Real Madrid defence!

When Chen Long raised his right foot, everyone thought that he would push the football in front of him, where Desiglio was running, but no one expected that in the end, Chen Long used the outside instep of his right foot to cut the ball, as if playing table tennis, Chen Long turned into a chipping master, slashed the football to the center of the penalty area, and it was Gross who inserted it there!

The football crossed the unprepared Real Madrid backline and appeared behind them, and at this time, Gross also happened to run into the air, he used **** sideways to unload the football flying in the air, and then, he didn't wait for the football to land, and directly volleyed with his left foot!

"Gross!"

At Peta's shouts, the ball flew like a cannonball towards Real Madrid's goal.

It was a volley on the edge of the penalty area, the ball was very fast, and although Real Madrid goalkeeper Keylor Navas made a save, he was not fast enough in front of such a fast ball......

The ball flew into the goal before his hand arrived!

“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOal！！！ gOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOal！！！ Peta dragged out a loud roar, and the entire San Siro stadium was like an erupting volcano at this moment, and the deafening cheers were pouring out of the lava into the sky, and the stadium stands were shaking, and the vibration was clearly transmitted to the world through the shaking camera lens.

The Real Madrid players were still signalling to the linesman and referee that Gross was offside, and the Milan players were already celebrating. The referee Kaushoi did not support the appeal of the Real Madrid players, he and the linesman saw it clearly, at the moment when Chen Long passed the ball, Gross was still in front of the Real Madrid backline, so the goal was not offside.

"Beautiful! Brilliant volley! Li Yang also yelled excitedly, "Gross! An assist from Long Chen! It was a very beautiful counter-attack on the spot after a counter-attack, and it took a pass to cause the goal! Chen Long once again exemplifies his strong ability to find and capitalize on opportunities! ”

After the goal, Gross ran to the South Stand with a huge cheer, he made a salute in front of the South Stand fans, and then turned around and opened his arms to meet Chen Long who ran up, and immediately hugged him and lifted him, and other teammates rushed up and carried Chen Long on his body.

This ball Gross shot beautifully, but Chen Long's kick is the key, if Chen Long is a little late, Gross may really be offside, and if it is someone else, maybe he won't pass there at all......

………

In front of the dugout in Milan, head coach Jose Mourinho also excitedly rushed out of the command area, running all the way to the players celebrating the goal under the south stand, and celebrating with them. In the process of running, even the cap was thrown off the ground.

Seeing the head coach so passionate, the cheers in the stands were even louder.

In stark contrast to this, Zidane spread his hands on the sidelines with a helpless face. He couldn't even curse anything when he lost this ball.

He had been worried about conceding a goal when the team was surrounded by Milan, and now that his worst fears have finally happened, everything is natural.

This goal is doomed, there is nothing to say.

Instead of getting angry and conceding a goal, it's better to think about how to get the score back.

…………

After the celebration, the Milan players returned to their own half, and Mourinho also returned to the coaching box.

Back in the dugout, he high-fived his fellow coaching staff one by one with an unabashed smile on his face.

Of course he would be happy to be ahead of Real Madrid. Because it was a victory for the tactics he laid out.

Just now, taking the opportunity to celebrate with the players, he also wanted the players to emphasize that they should not let up after the score is leading and continue to play like this. Real Madrid, who have just conceded the goal, must be restless, their emotions will be affected, whether it is attack or defense, they must not be unified. At this point, as long as Milan continue to apply pressure, it is very likely that they will score another goal in a short period of time.

As long as you can maintain a two-goal lead in the first half, the odds of winning this game are very good.

Meanwhile, next door, Zinedine Zidane also walked to the sidelines and made a calm gesture to the Real Madrid players. After conceding the goal, the player's mood fluctuates, and problems are most likely to occur, so it is the top priority to stabilize everyone's emotions at this time.

Even if you can't equalize quickly, you can't concede another goal in a short period of time......

After the game restarted, the Milan players really planned to take advantage of the fact that Real Madrid had just conceded a goal and had not yet gained a firm foothold, and used fierce attacks to score another goal.

But things are a little different than they think.

After conceding the goal, the Real Madrid players did not mess with themselves, so Milan's attack was like the tide hitting the embankment, and then ...... Knocked to pieces.

Instead, Real Madrid took advantage of the gap left behind by Milan's pressing attack to play a very beautiful and classic "Real Madrid counter-attack", and finally Osto sent the ball into the goal of Steggen.

And this time it was just over that time for Milan to take the lead...... Two minutes!

"Oh - what a shame! Real Madrid equalised! Peta put her head in her hands, and her regret was palpable. Milan are just taking the lead...... This goal came so suddenly, and probably no one in the whole team thought of it! ”

The TV broadcast was given to the Milan players after the goal, and every Milan player who appeared in the camera was a little confused and unprepared for this goal.

On Real Madrid's side, the players surrounded Osto and celebrated the goal wildly.

The commentator of Spanish TV was also resurrected, shouting excitedly: "This is the starting point for Real Madrid to break 'Murphy's Law'!" They are back in their own hands! ”

The commentator did not use a "spell", but used "Murphy's Law", indicating that he was haunted by Chen Long's words, and he believed that Osto's equalizer was the best response to the arrogant Chen Long.

The TV broadcast also happened to give Chen Long a close-up.

In the close-up, Chen Long stands near the center circle with his hands on his hips, waiting for the restart, and there is no particularly obvious expression on his face. But this did not prevent the Spanish commentator from opening his own mind and interpreting it: "It can be seen that Chen Long was also very surprised by this conceded goal." When he said those words before the game, he probably never imagined that Real Madrid would be so tenacious! ”

It's really forcibly "very unexpected", forcibly "unexpected".

But how could Chen Long not think of conceding the ball?

He didn't know how many Real Madrid game videos he watched before the game, so, to a certain extent, he still knew a little bit about this Real Madrid team.

Although before the start of the game, Chen Long had said that Milan would definitely be able to handle Real Madrid, at least that was what he meant in his words.

However, this does not mean that Chen Long is arrogant, on the contrary, for Real Madrid, Chen Long is very loyal in his heart.

He understands that for this Real Madrid team, although it is an away game, Real Madrid has scored goals in almost every game, and it is rare to be able to play games without letting Real Madrid score, which fully shows that Real Madrid's attacking firepower is indeed strong now. So Chen Long was not surprised by Real Madrid's goal in the game.

No matter what kind of game he faces, he can only control himself, and the help he can provide defensively is very limited, so he can't control Real Madrid's failure to score.

It's normal to concede a goal, but what to do if you lose a goal?

It's very simple, find a way to score again.

There is still time, and Chen Long doesn't think it's the end of the world to lose the ball at this time.
