Chapter 390: Keeping the Glory of Milan
"The ball is in!"
"The ball is in!"
"The ball is in!"
"It's Weah!"
"Weah helped Milan get the first goal."
"1 to 0!"
"ACM Lan got off to a good start at the beginning, and we didn't expect such a plot trend."
'Weah was so fast, he rushed to the end of the autumn before all the Juve players could react and hit the back of the net.
"The goal was so dashing that some Juventus players didn't even react."
Juventus fans fell silent, and Milan and Chinese fans boiled.
"George!"
"George!"
"George!"
After the goal, Weah raced to the sidelines and celebrated in front of the cameras with his trademark African dance. Although Bierhoff didn't get the ball in the first shot, the World Footballer of the Year burst out with his proper sense of goal and slotted into the net before everyone could react.
"Of course, Leonardo was the hero of this goal, and it was his clean tackle up front that helped Milan win the ball up front."
"Leonardo was behind this goal."
Even Zaccheroni was clapping from the sidelines, and if Milan continued to play on this momentum today, he might have succeeded in "going ashore"!
Haha, Marcelo, you've been at Juventus long enough, now it's time for you to get out of class!
Davis shook his head back to his place, his eyes filled with anger. He didn't expect that he would be careless and let the opponent seize the opportunity to form a shot, but this goal was scored. Giving the opponent a goal at the beginning? Juventus are not used to it at home!
No matter how brave he was at the World Cup and what kind of achievement he helped the Netherlands achieve. But now, his performance has been a real disappointment.
Zidane let out a long sigh, he had prepared thousands of tactics and passing methods against Milan, but he didn't expect to be hit by the opponent.
Even if you regain your mood now, can your teammates really be as neat and fluid in attack as they are when they don't score?
Zidane whispered a few words in the ears of a few passing teammates before returning to his place with a pat on his forehead.
"Beep!"
The battle resumed.
"Thomas, a little further back, stuck on the inside!"
"Captain, keep an eye on that guy and don't let him start!"
Ou Chuliang commanded loudly in front of the goal, although his teammates did not obey him, but they knew that Ou Chuliang's every word had a profound intention, and if he followed it, it would make the defense easier.
But Ocullian was not as domineering as Karn, reminding everyone of the "mistakes they were making" in a commanding tone, and then snarling and mocking them.
Teammates have become accustomed to Ou Chuliang's style of command, which will make them more conscious in defense and more self-reproachful when they make mistakes. Although Achurion did not really reach the level of a leader like Karn, he achieved the ability to control the defenders in a sense.
But if you want to guard against the menacing Juventus, you can't rely on Ou Chuliang to simply command from a few words. He has not squeaked about Ayala, because in addition to being a central defender, Ayala also has the responsibility of defending Inzaghi alone.
Gracefully organised by Zinedine Zidane, Juventus began to play as good as they should. In the tacit passing and receiving of the ball again and again, the Milan backfield almost fell into a "chicken flying dog jump". Although Maldini and Sala were running left and right, the ball inevitably flew to the goal again and again, and was obtained by Ouchulian who struck in time.
"Ou is right."
On the sidelines, Zaccheroni put one hand in his pocket and tidied up his tie with the other, which was just a habit for him, in fact, the tie was even more crooked after being tidied up.
Looking at the Milan backfield, Zaccheroni suddenly came to an inexplicable emotion.
As Ou Chulian said, there is nothing wrong with Milan's back line. The three defenders each played their part and worked hard to defend at the back.
The problem is that there are too few defenders, and Milan lack a defender-focused midfielder.
Hellwig is the first choice to open up the right corridor, with Albertini in midfield organised and organised in midfield, Boban in charge of the attack and a left-sided midfielder in support.
Speaking of which, none of the four centre-backs in positional battles will take the word "defensive" as the key to their performance on the pitch. As a result, although they seem to be defending, their individual defensive ability is not really strong without the innate advantage of Davis.
As a result, the pressure on Milan's defense fell on the three defenders and a goalkeeper.
As a result, while it looks like the four are trying their best to defend, they are constantly struggling, making it seem like there are always holes in the defense.
Milan wants to get rid of all this, and it is almost impossible to do it with the existing staffing.
In the 20th minute, Davis, who was eager to make a contribution, once again unleashed a stunning long-range shot. After dribbling to the left edge of the Milan penalty area, he swooped in from 25 yards out.
The ball was played extremely tricky, and with the fact that another player blocked the view, Ou Chuliang even couldn't see the ball for a moment during the save.
But this does not excuse Ou Chuliang from not being able to save, in fact, it is difficult for a goalkeeper to take it back as long as he makes a save.
Under Ou Chuliang's textbook pounce, the ball that appeared again instantly appeared above Ou Chuliang's head, hit the palm of his hand that had already been placed, and was pushed to the other side of the big penalty area by Ou Chuliang.
Maldini, who turned his waist in time to dodge, turned around and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead when he saw this, if the ball just hit him and changed direction, Ou Chuliang would not be so lucky.
Three minutes later, Zidane came to the left and spotted an opportunity to deliver a pick-and-roll pass.
Ou Chuliang suddenly became vigilant, and the moment he watched the ball fly to the highest point, he was ready to fall to the ground at any time to save the ball.
Sure enough, before the eyes that followed the ball could react, the ball was suddenly hit by a head and changed direction and flew straight to the goal. Ou Chuliang, who was unable to react, almost relied on his own muscle reaction to quickly come to Guan Zuolian, and with a stretch of his left foot, he blocked Inzaghi's header.
Ayala, who was following behind Inzaghi, was full of apologies when he saw this, and he was grabbed in front of him by Inzaghi the moment he slipped away. Facing Ou Chuliang, who bounced up and held the ball for the second time, Ayala even felt a little ashamed.
No matter how well he defended before this, how attentive he was. If Inzaghi had snatched a header in front of him at the final crucial point, his entire effort would have been wasted.
This is the football field, a place where only the result is talked about, not the process.
"It's okay Roberto, just be alert." Occhulian stood up and nodded to Ayala.
He knows very well that even if there is a special mission, a defender will not be able to prevent a point-grabbing striker.
This is due to the division of labor in football.
In front of goal, the striker is always the first on the pitch. And people can't really focus on one thing for 90 minutes like a robot, and Ayala can make Inzaqi return repeatedly in the first 20 minutes or so, and his performance is already excellent.
Juventus blossomed more, with the likes of Didier Deschamps, Di Livio and Amoruso all beginning to show their eighteen martial arts and attack the Milan goal.
Zaccheroni saw it, but there was no good solution. He's a sideline coach who can shout and direct his players to defend hard. But it's one thing for the players to hear or not, it's another thing to do it when they hear it, and it's another thing to do it this time or not to do it next time.
Without a dedicated defensive midfielder, Zidane is so well organized in the front court that few people can cause him decent problems.
This turned Maldini's pre-match advice into nonsense!
Of course, Juventus can play so fluidly in attack and show the posture of a European giant in defence.
Because he was attacked by Leonardo before, Davis was ashamed and brave, and every time Milan turned from defense to attack, he tried his best, like a wild boar, and plunged into Milan's offensive formation with abundant physical strength, disrupting the offensive rhythm.
As a result, Milan will either have to avoid it and break through from the other side, or they will have to be on the lookout at any time to prevent Davies from suddenly disrupting the situation by his side.
In the 33rd minute, Weah received a pass from Albertini on the right flank, took advantage of the gap in the turn to shake off Deschamps, and rushed forward along the right flank.
However, before he could run a few steps, the former world footballer of the year stepped on the ball with his right foot.
Weah warned in his heart that if he didn't stop the ball, he would be caught up by Davis who was leaning over and squeezed away in the next second.
Facing Davis, who rushed in front of him, Weah stepped over the ball with his right foot a few times, and made a few feints to run, seeing that Davis was neither deceived nor a teammate who came to pick up. I had no choice but to push hard towards my own half and pass the ball back to Maldini on the wing.
Milan's attack was once again defused.
"Weah is old."
Seeing Weah's performance, Zaccheroni was a little sad.
Weah, who is 33 years old, is no longer the footballer he was on the pitch.
As soon as Zaccheroni arrived at Milan, Weah moved from the centre to the left and right wingers, playing for Bierhoff.
Compared with a center forward with low running intensity, the most important ability that a qualified winger should have is speed, followed by passing.
If you don't pass the ball well, you can practice, and if you don't have a fast speed, then there's almost no way.
Weah is 33 years old this year, and it's okay to let him stand on the ball and pick up a leak in front of goal.
Letting him run long distances on the flanks to avoid his opponent's bottom cross was really embarrassing for the veteran.
Looking at the entire Milan team, including Leonardo, Ganz, and Murfio, these substitute strikers are not this type of wide man. The only one who can run on the flanks is Hellwig, but he is also a defender. This season on the right flank of Milan has not been as bright as last season's performance at Udinese, and if he hadn't been running hard, fans might have forgotten that he was also brought in by Zaccheroni from Udinese.
'Bierhoff was a strong parting man, but Milan didn't have a player who could get the ball over his head. Marcelo. Lippi had gradually regained his composure, and he lifted his glasses to analyze it accurately.
Boban was injured in this game and was replaced by Ambrosini.
Ambrosini, who is the same age as Ou Chuliang this year, is still a substitute, far from the ability of the Milan captain in the future.
Seeing that both Zidane and Deschamps could easily break through this young "defensive midfielder", Lippi's mouth began to crumble.
'Milan's midfield is nothing but a problem for us.
"The only thing in front of us is the three Milan defenders, and..."
Just as Pi was muttering here, there was a muffled bang, and Zidane himself fired a shot in front of the Milan penalty area.
Rumble!
A powerful shot from the top of the arc.
Zidane's toes kicked up a cloud of smoke and dust, a cloud of crumbs.
Even at the Alp Stadium, which was full of fans, Lippi could hear the sound of leather clashing on the pitch.
"Zidan?!"
Seeing Zidane get up, Lippi suddenly bounced up from the stool and looked nervously at the Milan goal.
Boom!
Ou Chuliang's body was bent like a shrimp, and he held the ball firmly in his arms on the right side of the goal.
"Alas!!"
The Juventus fans in the stands let out a long sigh when they saw this.
Another shot on goal that went unsuccessfully.
"Roar, roar!!"
"Ou Ou Ou Ou!!"
"Whoa!!"
Milan fans screamed in the stands, and those standing in the first row even wanted to tear down the railings.
"Ahhh Ou Chuliang! ”
"Ou Chuliang!"
Chinese fans showed their standard Chinese in Turin, attracting frequent attention from the Milan fans next to them.
Look, we will only shout "Ou Ou Ou Ou", but these "foreigners" can shout the name of the whole of Europe, and they are so standard, I am really envious!
"Hehe, it's worthy of Ou Chuliang!" Zhang Lu grinned hesitantly, smiling at Ou Chuliang who was holding the ball steadily on the screen.
At the moment when Zidane just got up, Ou Chuliang took a step sideways as if he had teleported, blocking his chest and abdomen in front of the ball.
This shot was made by his goalkeeper who could only fight hard to block the ball with both fists, but was firmly caught by Ou Chuliang with his body.
On the pitch, an earth-shattering shot can give a morale boost, as does a desperate save from an opposition striker.
Zidane thinks that even if this goal is not scored, it will at least mix a corner. But now, the well-prepared burst was defused in the most delicate way possible. He looked at the ball that had stopped in Ou Chuliang's arms and patted his head in disbelief.
A balding head can add intelligence, but it still can't kick a shot from a more tricky angle.
In the coach's seat, Zaccheroni was so excited that he hugged Hawke.
The Great Wall of China, the Great Wall of China!
Ou Chuliang once again moved the Great Wall of China to Turin!
Ou's performance is too steady, with such a goalkeeper guarding the back, what else is Milan afraid of?
Lippi kept holding his glasses on the sidelines, and he was very entangled at this time.
As early as the Olympics, he seemed to have this youngster in his pocket, but now, Peruzzi is getting fatter and fatter, and Ouchuliang's reputation in Serie A is getting bigger and stronger.
Coupled with the combination of the two strong with Milan, I am afraid that he will really lose his position this season!
Looking up at the scoreboard on the field, the first half had come to an end.
The fans were "shocked" by Ou Chuliang's save, and Juventus wanted to regroup, so it was better to wait for the second half.
Beep –
The referee blew the whistle, and it was exactly as Lippi expected.
Juventus spent most of the rest of the game on their feet, and even if Zinedine Zidane sent a good ball to find a teammate who had a chance to hit the goal, the latter did not dare to get up easily until he missed the opportunity to shoot.
In the tunnel of players, the expressions of the two managers were completely opposite. One is happy, and the other is grim.
Milan have been exposed to problems in the lineup and formation since the beginning of the season, but so far they have had good luck. Coupled with Ou Chuliang's heroic performance, he is gradually replacing Weah, Maldini and Boban as another shining star in the team.
When people mention AC Milan this season, they will not only mention the top scorer in Serie A who always scores goals for Milan with his head, but also mention the Chinese Europe who denies the opponent to shoot again and again with his hands.
Judging from the atmosphere on the field today, Ou Chuliang has brought into full play the quality of a star.
A save that may be inadvertently made by the goalkeeper himself is like a brilliant shot from a striker.
When the fans realised that a goalkeeper's save could make a goal, the goalkeeper himself was sublimated.
"Edgar, your position can be advanced in the second half!"
"I ask you to interfere not only with Milan when you are defending, but also when you are attacking!"
Davies made a small mistake in the opening period, but his first-half performance was convincing enough and continued to be appreciated by Lippi.
He will need to harness the ferocity's bravery and momentum to disrupt Milan's seemingly "solid" defence in one fell swoop.
As long as someone breaks through the barrier of Maldini and others, even if a wall is really erected in front of the Milan gate, Lippi is confident that it will be broken and broken.
With the team leading away from home, Zaccheroni was naturally smiling.
"We played well in the first half and didn't give Juve any chances!"
After saying this, Zaccheroni himself did not believe it.
But he knew that instead of pointing out a large number of holes and gaps in the back when the team was ahead, it was better to use this "encouragement" to let them keep their confidence, and then give a little guidance to complete the defense.
"I hope you keep it up!"
"When you're tired and tired, you might as well take a look at the stage."
"Even if it's an away game, there are no fewer fans who come to support us than Juventus, right?"
'The result of the first half was glorious.
"In the second half, we have to hold on to the glory to the end!"
"Don't give your opponent any chance!"
"Thomas, drop back a little bit in the second half."
"Leonardo, you too, you go back to the half to receive the ball and help your teammates organize the attack..."
Leonardo nodded, as Brazil's number 10 brain, he was well aware that while the team was leading on the surface, it was actually full of problems.
Now that you've scored a goal by surprise, it's better to stick to it to the end. Even if Juventus, who were playing at home at the end, scored a goal to equalise the score, an away draw would be acceptable for Milan.
But Zaccheroni can't say this when the team is ahead, he can only use this euphemism to remind the team that they need to defend!
The team needs to maintain the sparkle on the surface!
With a whistle, the second half changed sides again.
As soon as Inzaghi got the ball to Zidane, Davies couldn't wait to rush across the half pitch and plunge headlong into the Milan lineup.
Stomp, stomp!
Bang bang bang!
Davies was like a real boar, knocking Milan over at half-time.
"Referee!"
"Referee, he fouled!"
"Didn't you see that?"
"Ahh
No matter how badly the Milan players screamed, the referee saw it clearly.
Davies, who was less than 1.7 meters tall, was standing there, and all the Milan players who rushed up were not his one-in-one enemy.
The chassis is low, the center of gravity is stable, the body is strong, and the body is full of energy.
If it weren't for the fact that his eyes were a little worse, Davies might have single-handedly imposed the B2B midfield model on every central defender.
Facing Ambrosini who was in the way, Davis was still the same means as before!
Kick the ball, get stuck, sprint!
Carry your opponent on your shoulders, squeeze your opponent with your body, and get rid of your opponent with speed.
Ambrosini was left behind by Davis little by little, and he stopped helplessly.
How can a wild boar that run up be stopped by manpower?
Bang!
Even if it was an ordinary cross, Davies's foot strength made the Milan players tremble.
"Lippi is amazing!"
Zaccheroni gritted his teeth on the sidelines.
"If he puts his wild boar in someone else's field, isn't he afraid that his neighbors will shoot him again?"
