The referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half, and Milan took a 1-0 half-time lead thanks to centre-forward Romelu Lukaku's goal in the 28th minute. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Players from both sides walked out of the pitch and returned to their locker rooms to rest.

Jose Mourinho: Romelu Lukaku, you did well in the first half, but don't be under pressure, I've always said that, at least when you're still at your peak, you're still my first choice.

Lukaku, who had been in a brilliant first half, was recognised by Jose Mourinho in the dressing room and was perhaps the best reward for him.

At the same time, when Mourinho said these words to Lukaku, he did not say it secretly in private, but in front of everyone, among them, there was naturally Chen Long.

Chen Long did not feel a little unhappy with Mourinho's words, in a word, he respects the choice of the coach, and Lukaku, as his direct rival, also deserves his respect.

In any case, winning this game and getting the new season off to a good start is the number one priority, so Mourinho then began his tactical set-up.

Jose Mourinho: James James, in the second half you are a little bit more forward, if necessary, you can be in the same line as Anthony Martial and Gross, attract the defence, disrupt the opponent's defensive formation, as for the central midfield, you don't need to worry.

Jose Mourinho: Khedira, use your big picture to compress the opponent's attacking area as much as possible.

"In a word, in the second half, I want to see you more in the other half"

Coming into the second half, Milan came into the game at a noticeably quicker pace and ran more frequently on the pitch, and it looked like more Milan players had found their groove, which was best reflected in the fact that from the 46th to the 55th minute, Milan had 60 per cent possession.

In the 56th minute, a new round of Milan's offensive began.

Near the middle of the halfway line, Varane made a good tackle and then quickly knocked the ball to Ventura, who was cut in on the left flank, and after receiving Varane's pass, Ventura quickly accelerated with the ball and went straight to the Atalanta half.

At this time, the players on both sides also reacted, the Milan players pressed forward as a whole, ready to take in at any time, while the Atalanta players retreated across the board, and at the same time, two players immediately surrounded in the direction of Ventura.

Because Ventura is on the left wing, when he dribbles suddenly, it attracts Atalanta's defenders to tilt their defensive center of gravity to the left, so at this time, the defensive pressure on the right side is naturally very small.

Ventura had apparently thought of this as he progressed algebraically, so he stopped abruptly and before the two Atalanta defenders could pounce, he struck a long diagonal pass into the air towards Anthony Martial, who was on the right flank.

As a striker, Anthony Martial's position was already up front, so when Ventura advanced with the ball, he was already on the right side of the Atalanta penalty area, and at the moment, he was facing much less defensive pressure than Ventura, and there was even a good space in front of him at the moment.

So, when he saw Ventura make a move to pass the ball to himself, Martial was almost ready to shoot.

However, don't forget that it's raining at the moment, and it seems to be getting heavier, which means that the grass is slippery.

When Anthony unloaded the ball with great skill, he raised his right foot and made a shot in an instant, but because the grass was so slippery, his body suddenly lost its center of gravity and was almost about to fall, and at this moment, an Atalanta player immediately surrounded him.

In the nick of time, Anthony Martial tackled the ball to Lukaku, who was quickly plugging in in the middle, at the moment when his body was about to fall!

In fact, whether it was Ventura advancing with the ball, or then passing the ball to Anthony Martial, or the latter shoveling the ball to Lukaku in the middle, this series of actions was completed in a very short time!

So, naturally, at this time, whether it is on the right or left, Atalanta's defensive intensity is stronger, which means that for Lukaku in the middle, this is an excellent opportunity to shoot.

As a top scorer in football, even if his form has declined a little, he naturally grasps such a good opportunity accurately, so Lukaku raised his right foot and made a shot.

The football was kicked out, crossed a beautiful arc high in the box, and then, with a "whoosh", drilled into the goal!

Atalanta goalkeeper Berisha did not make a hard save, but, on the one hand, Lukaku's shot was so powerful that he couldn't resist it, and on the other hand, because the rain was getting heavier, his vision was also affected to a certain extent.

"The ball is in, Lukaku, Lukaku again, the scorer is Lukaku", Peta shouted.

"Haha, maybe Lukaku is still in his prime, and those opponents who are looking forward to his poor form may be disappointed, and the Belgian king's hot state is simply Milan's absolute thigh." Walter also said excitedly.

Naturally, "Milan Sport" is speaking to the Milan team!

This time, after the goal, Lukaku did not make strange moves like in the first half, but ran towards the goal, picked up the football and started running around the pitch.

Once again, the San Siro Stadium was cheering.

On the bench, Chen Long also high-fived and celebrated with his teammates next to him after Lukaku scored again, from the bottom of his heart, he was eager to play, but Chen Long was really happy for Lukaku to be in such a good state.

After the celebration, the game continued.

Atalanta, who are two goals behind, looks like their fighting spirit is starting to decline, especially in such a hard rain, and the Atalanta players understand that it is simply too difficult to recover the momentum in the limited time.

Atalanta's head coach Odd clearly saw what was going on on the pitch and realised that if his players continued to lose their fighting spirit, the situation could be even worse than it is now.

In the 62nd minute, Odd made a personnel change, replacing the central midfield Frouller, who seemed to be out of shape throughout the game, in an attempt to ease the pressure in midfield.

The absolute Atalanta midfielder, who went off with a serious injury in a game against Torino late last season, was on the sidelines until the end of last season and did not play until the first game of the new season. (To be continued.) )
