Chapter 556: Kaka Erupts
For the AC Milan players, the Champions League will be the only honor they can fight for this season, although the performance in the league this season is sluggish, but the fighting spirit and morale accumulated in the past few years will not immediately dissipate under such a suppression, but will become more vigorous in some channels, for them, the Champions League is such a channel.
And what about Inter Milan? They have confidence, they're in good shape, they're moving towards a goal that no one has done before, but they also know that the more they get to the point, the more they need to improve their concentration, and even though they have won one title, it doesn't mean they will be able to win the next two titles.
Dick made a slight change to the midfield in this game, goalkeeper Cesar, defenders McConn, Cannavaro, Materazzi and Zanetti, midfielders Mascherano and Sneijder in the middle, Figo appeared on the left, Stankovic on the right, and Ibrahimovic and Toney in the front.
AC Milan sent a four-four-one-one formation, the goalkeeper is still the recently controversial Dida, the right back Oddo, the left back Jankulovski, the central defender is Nesta and captain Maldini, the four midfielders are Gattuso, Pirlo, Ambrosini and Seedorf, Kaka is up front, Gilardino is the lone striker, Inzaghi is on the bench - but he is likely to play in the second half.
From the point of view of the lineup, both sides have followed the tactics that they have been accustomed to recently, when the league performance is not good, AC Milan began to use the tactics of a single striker and achieved good results, and the tactics of defending and counterattacking against stronger opponents have become Ancelotti's thinking when he is now playing the Champions League.
"Attack as soon as you start."
The Inter players thought about what Dick said in the dressing room, a team like AC Milan is more likely to be slow down, and if they are slow to heat up, they will disrupt their rhythm from the beginning and use the attack to tear apart the opponent's defense, so that the team can have a huge advantage overall, and this is what Inter Milan are going to do now.
AC Milan slow heat is because they have more veterans in the team, if they run crazy at the beginning, their overall physical fitness will definitely not last to the end, and Dick is to achieve such an effect, from the beginning of the game dragged into a high-intensity confrontation, even if you can't score, but also to make the intensity of the whole game high, he is not watching this game, but two games, Inter Milan has a physical advantage, then you have to play the physical advantage to the limit, Inter Milan ran away with Figostankovic, as well as Perrotta and Yaya Toure, and if the midfielders of AC Milan can't support them physically, can anyone replace them?
It's not that Carlo Ancelotti doesn't know this, but even if he does, he can't stop Inter from beating up the pace from the start, and when Inter wants to speed up, it's really not easy to slow them down.
The game starts, attacking, pressing, storming.
Inter Milan's attack was ferocious from the start, and there was a lot of momentum to beat AC Milan to death.
"Inter Milan wants to swallow the opponent in one go, is it a bit careless? If that's the case, AC Milan's chance has come! A narrator said so.
However, five minutes into the game, the entire Meazza Stadium began to fall into a frenzied cheer and shout!
Sneijder broke the ball on the left side of the midfield, and Ibrahimovic received the ball and volleyed a shot into the flying Nesta to bounce off the bottom line, a corner.
Figo took a corner, Toni grabbed the first spot in the crowd, relying on his height and strength to beat Jankulovski to head the goal! Faced with this header only five meters away from the goal, Dida caught the ball, but could not stop it from going into the net!
In the first five minutes, Inter Milan scored with the first threatening attack! Such a start is perfect!
"Keep attacking, don't give them a respite!"
In the frantic shouts of the Inter Milan fans in the stadium, Dick yelled at the stadium, against a team like AC Milan, or completely suppressed at the beginning, if they are just entangled with the other party, their state and ability will slowly come out, and it will become more and more difficult! Especially if you give them a chance to breathe, these old guys will show their ability in the game, so you can't give them this chance, even if you can't continue to score, you have to bring the whole rhythm up!
AC Milan's idea of slowly organizing the attack failed, they were frantically pressed by Inter Milan players after the restart, even Figo did not hesitate to run in the front, seeing Inter Milan quickly cut off the ball and attack again, Ancelotti stood up from the sidelines, and then made a gesture to the field to recycle the defense.
Ancelotti knows that if you want to be brilliant, you have to pretend to be a grandson first, and although it is embarrassing to recycle the defense at this time, it can be a good solution to Dick's tactics, and the recovery of the defense can first make the opponent's attack appear less threatening, reduce the possibility of continuing to concede goals, and secondly, make the pace a little slower.
Seeing Ancelotti's move, Dick nodded slightly, obviously this is the most effective way at this time, after all, AC Milan can't compare physical strength with Inter Milan, although this approach is a bit embarrassing, but it is the best choice at this time - Ancelotti can get mixed to this point, naturally he is not an ordinary coach, he is now one of the best managers in the world.
In that case, let's spend it first, AC Milan want to fight back, and the tempo can't be too slow, unless they really want to do it until the end of the game.
Toney looked lively after the goal, first with a long-range shot from outside the box that was saved by Dida, then a header that went just wide after receiving a cross from Ibrahimovic, AC Milan didn't have their first shot until the thirteenth minute, Kaka received Seedorf's ball from outside the box and fired straight away, Cesar was well positioned to catch the ball.
Inter Milan continued to attack in the next game, Ibrahimovic forced a shot through the middle and was saved by Dida, two minutes later Stankovic's long-range shot was tipped over the crossbar by Dida, Figo's corner kick was broken by Nesta, Sneijder from outside the box received the ball and volleyed, Dida flew to block the ball with one hand.
After conceding the first goal, Dida's performance gradually began to improve, although his current form has dropped a little compared to before, but he is still the most reliable goalkeeper of AC Milan at the crucial time.
Dick frowned, now Inter Milan is pressed higher, which will also give AC Milan some chances, and Dida's excellent performance has dashed Inter Milan's hopes of scoring a second goal, AC Milan's defense is also very tight, after all, in the Champions Cup this season they rely on defense to stabilize the defense, and then rely on Kaka's personal breakthrough to complete the attack......
Just as Dick was thinking, Kaka equalised for AC Milan with a personal burst in the 22nd minute!
Stankovic fouled Ambrosini in the middle circle, Gattuso passed the ball to Seedorf, Seedorf suddenly sent a through pass, Kaka received the ball and burst into the penalty area, forced a breakthrough through Cannavaro's defense with speed, and then volleyed in the penalty area, and the ball flew into the door of Inter Milan!
More than 2,000 AC Milan fans began to shout wildly, suppressed by Inter Milan until now, the second shot on goal scored, which made their emotions completely exploded, and scored away from home, this situation is also a very favorable thing for them, although it is a draw, AC Milan has begun to dominate because of such a goal!
"AC Milan are starting to get a good start now...... Beautiful defensive counterattack, I have to say, although he was beaten badly by Inter Milan in the league this season, but in such a face-to-face competition, AC Milan still has the strength to fight, Kaka's performance is too good, did he see his start just now? It was as fast as a gust of wind, and neither Cannavaro nor Cesar could stop him from breaking through and shooting! What's next for Inter? ”
Watching Kaka celebrate with both fingers pointing to the sky, Dick's face didn't change at all, he just made a gesture to the field - keep attacking, don't be affected by this conceded goal!
And Ancelotti's face was not too happy, just ten minutes, AC Milan's attack began to gradually organize, but the pace of the game began to become faster, the two sides of the back and forth, Inter Milan was not able to score but was scored by AC Milan, this is not necessarily a good thing for AC Milan, the price of their goals is a decline in physical fitness, pay such a price, what kind of impact will it have in the future? No one can tell.
In the following time, the two sides continued to attack back and forth, Inter Milan's attack took the initiative, AC Milan relied on counterattacks from time to time to threaten the opponent's door, Kaka galloped in the midfield, seemingly unstoppable, Inter Milan's attack was dominated by Ibrahimovic, and his ball and ball distribution continued to create huge pressure on AC Milan's defense.
In the 26th minute, Ibrahimovic crossed through and McConn, who had inserted the assist, slid a shot from the edge of the box that slid off the far post.
In the 28th minute, Sneijder crossed diagonally into the box from the left, and Stankovic, who was inserted, nodded the ball high from distance.
Ibrahimovic then had two shots in a row, both of which were bravely defused by Dida, and under the tide of Inter Milan's attack, AC Milan overtook the score in the 35th minute through another outburst of Kaka!
Dida kicked the ball forward, Kaka grabbed a header in front of Mascherano on the left rib, and then volleyed the ball with the outside of his right foot over McConn's head, Cannavaro and McConn collided together, Kaka took the opportunity to burst into the penalty area with the ball, and in the face of the attacking Cesar, he pushed the ball into the near corner of the goal with his right foot!
"Kaka! It's Kaka again! Brace! AC Milan miraculously overtook the score away from home! There were very few attacks they could launch throughout the first half, but they were ahead of Inter Milan! What a tragedy for Inter! There are many examples of this kind of overwhelming dominance but losing the game because of the outburst of one or two opponents, will Inter Milan also suffer from this situation and lose the chance of the treble? Kaka's performance is truly top-notch! This season he reached his peak! Will he be able to help AC Milan win the Champions League? You must know that for Kaka, he has never won the Champions Cup! ”
