Chapter 148: Waking up from a dream

Indeed, as the Italian commentator analyzed, the AC Milan players immediately entered the state from the beginning of this game, and their fighting spirit was high, which was stimulated by Cheng Hai.

As superstars who have been famous for many years, although they are not as flamboyant and unscrupulous as Ibrahimovic, how can they allow Cheng Hai to ride on their heads?

Although the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves and the front waves die on the beach, there are too many front waves in this game, and Cheng Hai can't push one back wave.

There are so many superstars, as long as anyone plays extraordinarily, they can say goodbye to Cheng Hai, not to mention that everyone is full of fighting spirit and wants to suppress Cheng Hai.

After the game restarted, the unconvinced Cheng Hai continued to take the initiative to ask for the ball, and then used his full value of ox tails, cycling, croquettes, man-ball sharing, Matthews feints, pick-and-roll passes, etc., to challenge the defensive ability of Gattuso, Seedorf, Van Bommel, and Nesta.

Cheng Hai has so many perfect skills, his speed is fast, his physique is bumping, and in most cases, one or two people naturally can't stop Cheng Hai.

Gattuso, Van Bommel, Boateng, Seedorf and others have been broken through by Cheng Hai many times.

However, a full half hour passed, and Cheng Hai still did not score a single goal.

The reason is that AC Milan's backline is too intact and the chemistry is perfect.

Even if their individual defensive ability couldn't stop Cheng Hai, they teamed up to show Cheng Hai what a reinforced concrete chain defense is.

Cheng Hai can break through one person, but he can't break through the second. Even if you break through the second, you can't break through the third.

Even if Cheng Haichao played at a high level and connected three people, because of the delay, the first player who was broken through by him returned to the defense and joined forces with the fourth to block his way.

Gattuso, Van Bommel, Nesta and others not only played their peak form, but also brought out the essence of Italy's chain defense to the extreme.

This is a high-level defensive drill against Cheng Hai.

Even with Cheng Hai's strength to score 152 goals a year, he did nothing in the opening half hour of this game.

There were shots on goal, and there were three shots on goal, but all of them were missed and flew away under the interference of Gattuso and others.

The only shot that hit the frame of the goal was saved by goalkeeper Abbiati's extraordinary play.

Boateng, Gattuso, Seedorf, Van Bommel, Nesta and Thiago Silva combined to play extraordinarily is that it is difficult for Cheng Hai to get a shot on goal by passing several people in a row.

Even if you get a shot on goal, you will be interfered by them and you will not be able to play a perfect shot.

Even the only shot that hit the frame of the goal was solved by the goalkeeper's extraordinary performance.

From the front to the back, from the midfield to the goalkeeper, AC Milan played 200% in this game, and everyone was forced out of their unconventional state and strength by Cheng Hai.

So much so that Cheng Hai didn't score a goal in half a year.

In the 31st minute, when Cheng Hai ran past the bench from the side, he was stopped by Klopp.

Klopp put his arm around Cheng Hai's shoulders and said loudly in his ear: "Cheng Hai, wake up, don't fall into the trap of fighting alone with them." There are too many superstars on the other side, and the state is so good, it is difficult for you to break through their entire defense line alone. Next, you have to pass the ball more, use yourself to attract the attention of the opponent's defense and assist Lewandowski, Shinji Kagawa and others. ”

Cheng Hai frowned and nodded, and slightly increased the number of pass assists after coming on the court.

However, Dortmund's situation has not changed, because Cheng Hai has not really given up the idea of fighting alone, as long as he gets the ball, he basically goes to Gattuso, Van Bommel and others.

He was also trying to break through the opposition's entire defence and then score with a shot.

After all, he is just a young man under 20 years old, and he has a system plug-in, Cheng Hai's heart is very high, and he doesn't believe that he can't break through the so-called chain defense of Gattuso and others.

In addition, Cheng Hai was also discriminated against by FIFA and the Ballon d'Or judges, and he was holding a lot of breath in his heart and wanted to prove himself.

Facing the superstar-studded AC Milan, Cheng Hai wanted to break through the opponent's entire superstar defense and score to announce his super offensive ability to the world.

Cheng Hai didn't know that although Gattuso, Van Bommel, Nesta and others did have strong personal strength, rich defensive experience, and tacit cooperation, and brought the Italian reinforced concrete chain defense to the extreme, they did not have a systematic plug-in like Cheng Hai after all, and had more than 20 skills with perfect value.

Moreover, they are also older, and their physical fitness, sprint speed, and fighting and collision ability are not as good as Cheng Hai.

Even Gattuso, who is known as the butcher, loses more than he wins in the collision with Cheng Hai, unless he commits a direct foul.

Cheng Hai can often attract the attention of three or four opponents such as AC Milan Gattuso, Van Bommel, Nesta, and Seedorf alone.

If Cheng Hai hadn't fallen into the trap of fighting alone in the attack, combined with his terrifying breakthrough ability and passing and receiving ability, he sent the ball to the feet of Lewandowski, Shinji Kagawa and others who were often in gaps, and AC Milan's defense would have been broken down long ago.

But it was precisely because he fell into the trap of fighting alone that the experienced Nesta and others saw through his psychological state and were sure that he would not be able to pass.

Then it's much easier to defend.

If one is not enough, there are two, if two is not enough, there are three, if three is not enough, there are four, five, even if he fouls, he can always be stopped.

Cheng Hai is not a real tank after all, so he can't really run over it directly and go straight to the forbidden area.

This is the harm of a single offensive routine.

It's a pity that Cheng Hai at this time didn't wake up even after Klopp's reminder, he thought that Klopp just wanted to sacrifice his offensive ability, assist Lewandowski and others, and help the team win!

While freezing Cheng Hai, AC Milan has not forgotten to attack and counterattack.

The scrappy goal of the backcourt players is to freeze Cheng Hai and prevent Cheng Hai from scoring. The frontcourt players want to score goals to prove that they are no worse than Cheng Hai.

So, in the 38th minute, AC Milan scored again, and it was Robinho, the prince of cycling, who shook Hummels straight down with a series of crazy pedals, and then smashed into the penalty area to shake off the angle and shoot successfully, giving AC Milan a 2-0 lead.

Robinho's goal once again ignited the excitement at the San Siro Stadium, and the thousands of Hornets fans who traveled with the team fell into complete silence.

In the frontcourt, Cheng Hai, who had fought against several top defenders on the other side for 38 minutes, crossed his waist and panted to look at Robinho, who was running to celebrate with his teammates, and finally had the feeling of being empowered.

He finally remembered the words of manager Jurgen Klopp.

It's not that he has a system plug-in, he's the best, and what he does is right. At the strategic and tactical level, Cheng Hai and the coach's vision are still too far behind.

He remembered that in the process of his previous breakthrough, the other party surrounded him one after another, and turned a blind eye to Lewandowski and Shinji Kagawa who ran into the gap, Cheng Hai had already understood that the situation of burying his head in solitude had been understood by the other party.

How can you get by like this?

Maybe it's okay for teams with poor quality, but how can it be done against a superstar-studded Serie A giant like AC Milan?

He doesn't pass the ball, doesn't let his teammates help share the opponent's defensive firepower, and relies on him to break through the opponent's entire defense line by himself, even with Cheng Hai's ability, he can't do it.

After the game restarted, Cheng Hai, who had just woken up from a dream, finally showed the quality of an excellent professional player.

In the 41st minute, after receiving the ball in the midfield, he made the illusion of wanting to break through Van Bommel in front of him, causing Gattuso, Seedorf, Silva and others around him to be ready to intercept.

As long as Cheng Hai breaks through Van Bommel, he will be immediately intercepted by Seedorf. Even if he breaks through Seedorf, he will be stopped by Gattuso.

In short, as long as Cheng Hai gets the ball, there will be a high wall in front of him, and the distance between the walls is very appropriate, as long as Cheng Hai makes a slight mistake, he is interfered with in the process of breaking through, and he will lose the ball.

However, to the surprise of Van Bommel and others, this time Cheng Hai did not bury his head in the breakthrough again, but took a step to adjust the ball, led Van Bommel to move to the right, and then suddenly pushed the pass and sent the ball to the feet of Shinji Kagawa, who followed on the left side.

Shinji Kagawa was just plugging in according to inertia, but he didn't expect Cheng Hai, who had been very lonely in this game, to pass the ball over, so he was a little hasty in receiving the ball, and was almost stabbed off by Boateng, who followed him back to defense.

Fortunately, Shinji Kagawa passed the ball out in time and sent it to Lewandowski's feet.

Lewandowski took two steps in the middle and was intercepted by central defender Nesta, Lewandowski did not hesitate and directly distributed the ball to Owomoyela, who was inserted on the wing.

Owomoira dribbled the ball to the bottom line, and Lewandowski, Grosskloitz, Shinji Kagawa and others shot three arrows together and went straight to the penalty area.

And what about AC Milan?

Cheng Hai also made a running position after completing the pass, but he didn't run fast, so that Gattuso and Van Bommel who were marking him had to slow down.

By the time they realized that something was wrong, it was too late to go back to the penalty area.

Owomoyela's cross from about 10 yards out in a tangling with full-back Antonini caught Nesta's attention at the front post and Shinji Kagawa drew Thiago Silva's defence.

As a result, Grosskloyc, who rushed into the back of the penalty area, was in an unguarded gap, and Owomoira also passed the ball relatively high, and the players on both sides of the front and middle failed to grab it.

Grosskloitz burst into the back of the box and leapt up unguarded and sent the ball into the far corner with an easy header.

Abyazo, the goalkeeper who pounced on the near post, failed to save the goal, and had to reluctantly turn his head and send the ball into the net.

In the 41st minute, the away side Dortmund finally got on the scoresheet, and Grosskloitz scored the first goal from Owomoyela's cross from the wing, making it 1-2 and only one goal behind.
