452 Bag Clamp & Breakout

Chen Long had just gotten the ball, which was a chance for Milan to play a counter-attack, but before he could turn around, he was pushed down from behind by a Bayern Munich player. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Milan's counter-attack was not successful.

Referee Thomson's whistle blew and awarded a foul to the Bayern Munich player, but did not show him a yellow card, only a verbal warning, which caused displeasure among the Milan players.

They gathered around to find Thomson's theory.

"This isn't the first time they've done this!"

The Milan players shouted at the referee.

Chen Long got up from the ground, but he didn't get involved. He patted the grass clippings on his body.

He was not angry about Bayern Munich's foul. He was not upset that the referee had only verbally warned the Bayern Munich players.

His teammates are right, this is not the first time that a Bayern Munich player has fouled himself like this, and it is not just one person.

In these ten minutes of competition, Chen Long has been targeted four times.

Sometimes it's a Bayern Munich player, and sometimes it's two or three people surrounding Chen Long.

As the heart of the team, it's normal to be targeted by the opposition during the game. But today's Bayern Munich players are a little more active than usual when defending Chen Long.

Long Chen certainly knows why.

It should have been his and Guo Haoran's bet that angered the Bayern Munich players.

This is really not his intention, he just made a bet with Bayern Munich, did he bet with the whole Bayern Munich team.

But that's good, it's clear that Bayern Munich are more serious about themselves than they are on their team-mates, and that's Milan's chance.

Chen Long uses himself as a magnet to attract as much attention as possible from the Bayern Munich players and provide space for his teammates.

Although you put yourself in danger, the opportunity lies in these dangers.

…………

When the game resumed, Milan had lost the opportunity to counterattack, but the pressure on Chen Long's side did not lessen.

No matter where he gets the ball, he will quickly be surrounded by players wearing Bayern Munich jerseys.

For Chen Long's marking, Ancelotti's team really worked hard to not give Chen Long a chance.

So in fact, even if Chen Long did not bet with Guo Haoran, or his direct bet with Guo Haoran was not known by the Bayern Munich players, the pressure on Chen Long would not be less at all.

When Ancelotti assigned his players how to mark Chen Long before the game, he repeatedly emphasized that Chen Long must not be allowed to turn around, and Chen Long, who turned around and was facing the goal, was the biggest threat.

That's why the Bayern Munich players just now pushed Chen Long to the ground without waiting for Chen Long to turn around.

Milan's counterattack did not succeed, and naturally it was not able to threaten the goal guarded by Guo Haoran.

After Bayern Munich regained possession, they continued to launch a fierce attack on the Milan goal, still hoping to score another goal in the shortest possible time.

Milan can only recycle their defence once again.

It can be seen from this that Bayern Munich's key defense against Chen Long has a big effect.

But the ball can't always be at the feet of Bayern Munich's players, it will always change hands.

Two minutes later, Milan again won possession.

The Bayern Munich player did not run straight back and retreat to his own half, but instead pressed high.

This defensive strategy, on the one hand, can increase the difficulty of Milan's possession of the ball in the midfield, so that Milan can not calmly organize counterattacks, and on the other hand, if they can cut off the football directly in the front, then they can directly launch a counterattack on the spot and catch Milan off guard.

The high-level pressing requires the players to keep running and grabbing, not one person to grab, but the whole team to rush up together, so as to form a wave after wave of pressing like a tide, causing the opponent to make mistakes in a hurry.

It's very physical, but Carlo Ancelotti's Bayern Munich are so physical that they don't have to worry about it.

Bayern Munich's high pressing did cause a lot of problems for Milan's players, so that they didn't know how to play the ball when they switched from defending to attacking and counter-attacking. If you hesitate a little, the perfect opportunity to fight back may be gone.

At this time, it is necessary to hand over the football to Chen Long and let Chen Long decide what to do.

And Bayern Munich has made a defensive arrangement to keep an eye on Chen Long in response to Milan's countermeasures.

Bayern Munich's players almost came to Chen Long with football.

This made it difficult for Chen Long to handle the ball.

Peta was unhappy that the referee Thomson did not show the Bayern Munich players a yellow card: "Thomson's approach is a kind of connivance, he has sent a signal to the Bayern Munich players - you can play whatever you want, as long as you don't kick people to death, it doesn't matter...... Thomson's appeasement is the root cause of Bayern Munich's rampant away from home! ”

With no home advantage at home, Peta fought for Milan.

But no one can change the referee's style of enforcement, and just complaining about the referee's lenient penalty scale will not help win the game.

……

Despite being deeply encircled, Chen Long made a gesture to Carvajal, who had the ball, to ask for the ball.

But when Carvajal passed the ball to him, there was no chance to turn around, so he could only pass the ball back to Carvajal and continue to run forward.

While running, he continued to ask Carvajal for the ball.

Carvajal wanted to kick the ball directly, but he couldn't catch the ball when he kicked it, so it was meaningless.

He had no choice but to pass the football to Chen Long again.

This time, there are as many as four Bayern Munich players by Chen Long's side, and they are far from Chen Long, but in general, it is a situation of encirclement of Chen Long, as long as Chen Long stops the football, someone will stick it.

But this time Chen Long did not choose to stop the ball, he ran to the football, and when the football rolled over, he directly knocked the football with his heel to Rodriguez behind his side. Then he ran forward, but as he ran, the Bayern Munich defenders also retreated en masse, forming a wall of four defenders in front of him, which not only prevented him from rushing forward easily, but also prevented Rodriguez from passing the ball forward.

Rodriguez is out of luck when he sees this, he can't force the football to the front, right? That would probably change possession.

In desperation, he chose to pass back and passed the football to right-back Cai Heng.

continued to pass back, seeing that Milan's counterattack could not be played, Li Yang felt sorry for Milan, "Bayern Munich's high pressing is very good, so that Milan can't find a good point to play the ball...... If they continue to play like this, it will be difficult for Milan to reverse the situation of being pressed and beaten by Bayern Munich......"

Chen Long had rushed forward, but when he looked back, Rodriguez passed the football back again, and he also turned around and ran back.

Again, the asking gesture was made.

Cai Heng knew that Chen Long was being targeted by the opposing player, but apart from Chen Long, could anyone else do anything? The more times like this, the more you have to believe in Chen Long's ability, so he passed the football over.

Chen Long turned his back to the direction of the attack and received the football, and the Bayern Munich player, that is, Barton, immediately rushed up again, intending to stick to Chen Long and prevent him from turning around.

But before he could post it, Chen Long once again passed the football with his heel.

The ball rolled past Barton's feet and landed at the feet of Niang, who retreated to pick up.

"Good shot!" Li Yang applauded Chen Long's heel pass.

After passing the ball, Long Chen turned around and rushed forward.

Niang, who had his back to the attacking direction, used his body to withstand the pressure from the Bayern Munich players behind him, and after waiting for Chen Long to rush up, he sent the football sideways.

Then he turned and ran forward.

This was the first time that Chen Long was able to catch the ball in the direction of the attack in this attack, and there was a huge cheer from the stands.

Amid the loud cheers, Bayern Munich's defenders rushed towards Chen Long.

This is based on the principle of "whoever has the ball is the biggest threat", and it is also due to the bet made by Chen Long and Guo Haoran before the game, and the Bayern Munich players made Chen Long the top priority.

Almost in the blink of an eye, two lines of defense with depth and hierarchy were formed in front of Chen Long, and it became extremely difficult for Chen Long to shoot or break through. Pass? He would have to choose to return with his heels, as there would be no Milan players to pick up on him and no space to take advantage of in his field of vision.

Ancelotti, who saw this scene from the sidelines, had confidence in his players, and he believed that as long as Chen Long stopped the football, then Milan's attack would end here.

In fact, Ancelotti's estimate was good, as long as Chen Long stopped the football, whether it was dead at his feet or in front of his feet, the encirclement would shrink in an instant, turning into a shackle stuck in his neck, making him breathless.

But it's ...... Chen Long didn't intend to stop the ball, he picked up his right foot, met the ball passed sideways by Muller, and shoveled it. Then the ball flew straight into the air and made an arc of external spin, bypassing the Bayern Munich players in front of him and turning to the right side of the penalty area.

Bayern Munich's central defender Barton jumped up and tried to push the ball out, and he started to rise to the top, he miscalculated the height of the ball, and the flight arc was higher than he thought!

The missed ball falls down and is picked up by Gross who is inserted into the penalty area!

"Gross-!!" Peta shouted excitedly.

Gross, who was inserted into the penalty area, picked up his right leg on the run, bent his bow and kicked it into the far top corner of the goal!

With a bang, the falling ball was struck in the middle by his forefoot, and then the ball drew a parabola and flew towards the back corner of the goal.

In the face of Gross's powerful and self-contained shot with the nature of a falling leaf, although Guo Haoran jumped up and made a save, he couldn't touch the football - the apex of the parabola just bypassed the tips of his fingers!

Sun Pan, who didn't touch the football, raised his head and stared at the football, but he didn't see the scene of the football flying out of the goal, but saw the football grazing the junction of the goalpost and the crossbar and falling into the net......

"Ahh Peta screamed with excitement. "Gross! Grose!!! A remarkable world wave that equalised for Milan!! ”

The entire San Siro stadium was set on fire by the goal, and all the Milan fans jumped to their feet, and when they fell, the stadium shook as if it had been shaken.

"Gross-!!" DJ Norbert Dicker shouted in a long voice.

Immediately afterward, the Milan fans in the stadium responded to him in unison" - Gross!!! ”

This is the atmosphere at Milan's home stadium and is the treatment that every Milan player dreams of.

Amid the deafening cheers of the Milan fans, Gross sprinted towards the corner flag area before turning and opening his arms to meet the swarming teammates.

Everyone pounced, except for goalkeeper Steggen, who rushed to Gross's side, then hugged him and picked him up.

This goal is crucial for Milan. If Milan can't equalise on a short period of time, the tempo of the game could fall into the hands of Bayern Munich.

Indeed, despite some twists and turns, Milan's equaliser was fairly quick and now just six minutes after they conceded.

Gross's kick is very beautiful, although Chen Long's assist is also beautiful, but he doesn't stop the ball and volleys directly, such a difficult shot, and can also bypass the ten fingers of the goalkeeper Guo Haoran who has divine help in the last round, which is enough to show the level of Gross's foot.

No matter how beautiful Chen Long's pass is, his teammates can't convert it into a goal, so it's useless.

So at this time, Gross is the well-deserved protagonist.

Even Li Yang couldn't ignore Gross's light at this time, and rarely introduced Long Chen as the protagonist.

Chen Long was beside Gross, cheering and celebrating the goal with the others.

…………

When the Milan players frantically celebrated the goal, Guo Haoran had already fished the football out of the goal, and then kicked the football directly to the front with a big foot.

He also cursed a swear word when he kicked it.

Only swear words can vent his inner emotions.

What did he say before the game?

To guarantee not to concede a single goal against Milan is to concede a clean sheet.

As a result, less than 20 minutes into the game, the goal he set for himself was not complete......

But this ball ...... He tried his best, but he still didn't pounce, what could he say? He couldn't complain that his teammates had gone to surround Chen Long and ignore Gross. In fact, the ball just now, although his teammates reacted a little overreacted when Chen Long got the ball, but it was also a normal overreaction, after all, Chen Long's threat was very great, but who would have thought that Chen Long would be able to use a very subtle action to pass the football out when he was deeply encircled? It's still so accurate......

He could only vent all his anger on that kick.

Guo Haoran was very unhappy about conceding the goal, but in fact, for Bayern Munich, this conceded goal was not the end of the world.

Because Bayern Munich already had an away goal, the aggregate score is now 1:1, if this score is maintained until the end, Bayern Munich will eliminate Milan because of the away goal advantage.

So Bayern Munich has nothing to panic about.

Their head coach Carlo Ancelotti also realized this immediately, and after feeling a little annoyed by the loss of the goal, he immediately calmed down, and then shouted to the field, desperately doing the action of pressing down with both hands, signaling the whole team to calm down and not to worry.

………

Gross's goal was replayed on TV, but unlike Gross's volley at the beginning, this time the whole process was replayed, from Carvajal's first pass to Chen Long to Gross's goal, the whole process was clearly reflected in the TV screen.

Li Yang didn't need to praise Gross anymore at this time, he reminded everyone to focus on Chen Long's body: "...... This goal can clearly show Chen Long's central position in Milan's attack. After the other Milan players touched the ball, they almost had to pass the football to Chen Long, and if they didn't give Chen Long the ball, it would be blocked...... Gross's volley is certainly beautiful, but it is also necessary to see that it is Chen Long's continuous running and passing that creates such an opportunity for him, Bayern Munich's defense of Chen Long in this game can be said to be very tight, but it still failed to prevent Chen Long...... When Long Chen passed the ball with his heel, it was as if he had eyes on the back of his head, and he knew exactly what was going on behind him......"

China's Internet is also full of praise for Chen Long's series of passes: "Sao! What a sass! Chen Long's ball is really angry! ”

"Long eyes in the back of the head!"

"...... like a scalpel"

"Haha! Even if Bayern Munich lets everyone defend Zhou Yi, I believe he can send the football out! That's how my big Chen Long is! ”

"Chan World Wave Maker Dragon!"

When Peta analyzed why the goal went in after this goal, he also mentioned that Chen Long's importance is irreplaceable, if it wasn't for his continuous heel passes in the final game to pick out the football, he would not have the opportunity to face the offensive direction head-on, so it would be difficult for him to pass such a ball.

So while Gross's volley at the end was cool, it was Chen's string of performances before that was the focus of the professionals' fascination.

However, as an assister, Chen Long is naturally not as beautiful as Gross who scored goals in the eyes of the vast majority of the public.

Chen Long himself doesn't care about this, it doesn't matter who is in the limelight, what matters is the goal.

…………

After the Milan players returned to their own half, the game resumed.

Thanks to Ancelotti's timely intervention, the Bayern Munich players were in a good state of mind after conceding the goal and did not panic because of the concedent.

Facing Milan, who had just scored and had high morale, they defended solidly and waited for an opportunity to play Milan's counterattack. In the 39th minute, he almost broke through Milan's goal with a counterattack opportunity, scaring Milan fans and players into a cold sweat.

It was Bayern Munich's defender Fischer who sent the ball directly into the penalty area from a free kick, and Lewandowski successfully countered offside and headed the goal from ten meters in front of the goal. Luckily, Stegen was in a good position, jumped high and took the ball off.

If Milan concede another goal, the game will be too bad for Milan.

Milan also had a few chances, but Guo Haoran was not affected by the goal conceded, and his performance was still stable and excellent, keeping Niang and Gross out of goal.

Although he lost a goal, he was still in an advantage in the bet with Chen Long, because the bet was three goals, and now Milan has only scored one goal, and there are two more goals, Guo Haoran has sworn in his heart I don't know how many times, he will definitely not give Milan a chance to score again, and Milan's goals in this game will be fixed on one.

In this way, neither team rewrote the score, ending the first half with a score of 1:1 and going into halftime.

…………

In the dressing room, Jose Mourinho was inspiring the whole squad to step up their attacking side in the second half. The situation now is that Bayern Munich will definitely shrink their defense in the second half and then play Milan's counter-attack.

If Milan don't go up and attack, let Bayern Munich retreat behind, and when the game time comes, Bayern Munich will advance to the semi-finals.

Although the attack is risky, the space behind it will also be exploited by Bayern Munich. But now for Milan, there is no other way for them to go but to attack.

So the problem is actually simpler, don't think about anything else, just attack with all your strength and try to score more goals.

Now that Bayern Munich have scored an away goal, it makes their away goal meaningless.

How to lose meaning?

Of course, it is to overwhelm the opponent in the aggregate score, and not give them the opportunity to compare the number of away goals at all!

At the same time, in the locker room next door, Bayern Munich coach Carlo Ancelotti really made a strategic adjustment to the team.

Reducing investment in attack, increasing the number of troops in the defense, everyone must be 100 times more energetic in defense, and Milan must not be given the slightest opportunity to take advantage of.

Although this will make his goal under siege by Milan for a full 45 minutes, Ancelotti believes that Guo Haoran and his backline can withstand the pressure of Milan. You must know that all their training since the first leg has been how to withstand Milan's fierce attack for as long as possible, and they even brought this idea to the league, when picking Hamburg away from home, Bayern Munich basically let Hamburg press and play except for a few counterattacks, and finally they managed to defend a 0:0.

Of course, Hamburg's attacking prowess can't be compared to Milan's. But it's also a kind of warm-up, which makes the players familiar with the feeling of stubbornness.

Carlo Ancelotti also warned the whole team not to go up and attack easily if they don't have particularly good opportunities. How to deal with the ball at the back and how to insure it? Instead of using a precise long pass to find a teammate in front of you, there will be no teammate in front of you at all, but just kicking the football out with a big kick, regardless of whether it is kicked to the front court or out of the sideline.

The closer you are to the goal, the more decisive you have to be with the ball.

In addition, in order to contain Milan's attack, Chen Long is also a figure who must be taken care of.

The goal conceded in the first half was actually because Bayern Munich gave Chen Long a chance to take advantage of when defending. So we can't afford to make that mistake again in the second half.

The defense of Chen Long should be 100% close, and foul tactics can be used, but the location of the foul should be chosen to avoid dangerous areas.

In the end, Carlo Ancelotti encouraged his players to hold on for another 45 minutes, and after withstanding Milan's attack, they would head high to reach the semi-finals, which was a history-making moment.

Ancelotti's provocative tone and exaggerated gestures made the Bayern Munich players in the dressing room enthusiastic and eager to go out and tear up the Milan players now.
