seems to have been completely woken up by Yang Yang's goal.

After being a goal down, AC Milan were noticeably more aggressive and more threatening in attack.

Just four minutes after Yang Yang opened the scoring, AC Milan played a dangerous attack.

Seedorf made a direct pass through the middle, and after Shevchenko won the ball, he rubbed a wonderful pass with the outside instep of his right foot on the left side of the penalty area.

Gilardino headed home from close range in the middle of the six-yard box to equalise for AC Milan.

The goal also ignited AC Milan's attacking passion.

All the fans at the San Siro Stadium also cheered wildly.

……

In the 35th minute, it was another pass from Seedorf, Shevchenko burst into the left side of the penalty area again, and when facing Heitinga's defense, the Ukrainian center suddenly fell to the ground, and Heitinga angrily accused Shevchenko of faking a fall.

Although the referee eventually signaled for the fight to continue, he did not award the Ukrainian for faking a fall.

Judging from the slow-motion replay of the game, Shevchenko is indeed suspected of faking a fall.

But just a minute later, it was Seedorf and Shevchenko who combined continuously on the left side to assist Kaka's right-footed push to break through the Ajax goal again and turn the score around.

After Kaka scored, he also rushed out of the stadium excitedly, stretching out his hand and pointing into the air along the way, with words in his mouth.

That's his signature goal celebration, pray!

However, AC Milan's offensive continues.

……

In the 41st minute, it was another through ball from the left side of Seedorf, and after Kaka accelerated past Heitinga on the left side of the penalty area, he crossed to the middle, Shevchenko followed, and calmly pushed and hit in front of the goal.

Three to one!

AC Milan scored three goals in a row in just over 10 minutes.

The entire San Siro stadium was cheering wildly in celebration.

If AC Milan was firmly in control of the situation on the pitch for more than 20 minutes, but never managed to break through Ajax's goal, then in the last ten minutes, the Rossoneri told Ajax with ironclad facts why they could become Champions League runners-up.

They were almost firmly in control of the first half of the game and did not leave many chances for Ajax.

At the same time, everyone has to admit that AC Milan's left side is indeed full of attacking power.

All three goals came from the left side, which completely blew up Ajax's right side.

With control of the ball and tempo on the pitch, AC Milan can continue to plan more and more dangerous attacks.

…………

…………

From 1 to 0 to 1 to 3, in just twenty minutes, Ajax seemed to have fallen from heaven to hell.

Back in the dressing room, the Ajax players looked scrappy and in good spirits.

It's not surprising that anyone who goes from being one goal ahead to being two goals behind is something that would be unpleasant for anyone.

The same goes for Yang Yang.

It was the first time he really felt that it would be difficult for Ajax to go any further.

The difference in strength is really big, whether it is the overall strength or the competition in each position, Ajax is a cut short of AC Milan, and there are not many players in the team who can really compete with AC Milan.

The backline played poorly, especially in the centre-back position, and Heitinga was really blown out at this point.

Vermaelen is still relatively young, and he has no advantage in defending high balls, so he didn't play well in this game.

As for the offensive end, he also did not give too good a performance, and Pinar on the left still lacked shortcomings.

If the left wing can create more pressure on AC Milan, then Yang Yang will be much easier on the right.

But now the left side is a little weak, and AC Milan began to strengthen the defense on the right side after conceding the goal, which put Yang Yang under a lot of pressure.

But sometimes, football matches are like that.

It is impossible for Yang Yang to blame his teammates for this, after all, they are either not in good shape, or they are all doing their best.

Sometimes it's tiring to think about it.

With team-mates like Ibrahimovic and Van der Vaart helping up in attack, Wesley Sonk is not very efficient in scoring goals, but he is fast, agile and can share the pressure.

But now, it's all gone.

All the pressure was pushed in front of Yang Yang, especially in a game like the Champions League, which really made him feel overwhelmed.

But he doesn't regret the choice he made, and he doesn't blame his teammates.

Didn't he choose to stay at Ajax just to prove himself?

What better way to prove yourself than now?

As the youngest captain ever to captain in the Champions League, he was able to lead Ajax all the way to the quarter-finals, and he did not disappoint anyone, regardless of the results that followed.

Especially against Real Madrid, that hat-trick at the Bernabeu was enough to prove his worth.

Now, every step he takes is just to push himself into a desperate situation and squeeze all his potential.

And at this moment, he also knows very well that the morale of the team must not be discharged!

This breath is vented, and there is really no play in the second half!

……

"Everyone's in spirits, we're not at the time to lose our heads yet."

Yang Yang stood up from his seat and said vigorously, encouraging the strength of the team.

'We have a valuable away goal, two goals down, it's not the end of the world, the most important thing now is to stay in line.

"Yang Yang is right, the top priority is to stabilize the defense." Sneijder also stood up to encourage his teammates.

As the first to bear the brunt, Heitinga was a little embarrassed, but he still stood up bravely, saying that his state is indeed not ideal, but he will definitely adjust himself in time, and he will continue to work hard in the second half to strive for a better performance.

Yang Yang also showed the bearing that a captain should have, not only did he not blame Heitinga, but thought that he had done his best.

'Defending is everyone's business in our team and having conceded three goals, none of us has the right to blame others.

Yang Yang's maintenance made Heitinga very moved, not only because of their personal relationship, but also because of the overall situation of the team.

At half-time, the coaching staff doesn't make easy substitutions.

Substitutions at this time are tantamount to shifting all the blame for the first half to this player, which is unfair to anyone.

Since there will be no substitutions, you have to adjust the morale of the team.

This is Yang Yang's attitude.

Ronald Coman also walked into the locker room at this time, and he also agreed with Yang Yang's statement.

'There's still the second half and we're nowhere near the moment we're down, so don't forget, our pre-match stats show that AC Milan's second half is when they make the most mistakes.

Ronald Koeman's words were a good reminder to the players in the dressing room.

According to the statistics of the Ajax coaching staff, AC Milan is in the ranking of Serie A this season, if you only talk about the first half, the Rossoneri are the champion of Serie A, scoring the most goals and conceding the fewest goals, and the only big problem is that there are a bit more draws.

But the victory is very stable, and it has maintained an unbeaten record in the first half so far.

But if it only talks about the second half, it will be greatly discounted immediately.

AC Milan finished third in Serie A in the second half but have lost as many as 10 games and drawn nine games.

Of course, if we only talk about the first and second halves, and do not combine them with reality, such data will not have much meaning.

But one thing is proof of this, and that is that AC Milan always played much better in the first half than in the second.

On the other two teams in the top three of Serie A, Juventus is the most consistent overall, the first half and the second half are very close, and Inter Milan's second half is even better than the first half.

A very important reason for the difference between AC Milan's performance in the second half is the team's fitness.

After Ronald Koeman said this, the Ajax players suddenly regained their confidence.

But that's not enough, obviously, the team has to come up with a feasible plan on a tactical level.

That's the threat from the left.

Ronald Koeman was in line with Yang Yang, with the team clearly not putting enough pressure on the left side in the first half.

'AC Milan prefer to play the ball straight into our box in attack, and that was evident in the first half, with the simple intention of creating better chances in the box, and Shevchenko, Kaka and Gilardino are all good at that.

'And we have to shrink and defend intensively, especially in the middle, and we have to defend the edge of the box.

"Also, when attacking, we have to put more pressure on the left side, and Pinar has to be more active, press Gattuso a little more, put a little more pressure on their side, and then there will be more chances on the right side."

After hearing this, everyone also nodded.

"Guys, it's a long-term game, against AC Milan, the best team in European football today, and we are inferior in terms of quality, so it is all the more important for us to work together and be united."

"In the second half we have to hold on, and the longer we hold it, the more chances we have!"

AC Milan's fitness will be a perennial problem, and the longer it drags on, the more obvious their problems will become.

…………

…………

After the rematch in the second half, Ajax adopted a more resolute defensive tactic of shrinking.

AC Milan created a chance in the opening four minutes, a cross from the flank, and Gilardino headed it just wide of the far post.

The Italian centre-forward has already had a number of header chances in this game, and if he had had been more capable of getting his hands on the header, Ajax would have been beaten into a sieve.

AC Milan then continued to control the situation on the pitch and created chances frequently.

However, due to Ajax's contraction of defense, it was difficult for AC Milan to easily pass the ball into the box at the edge of the penalty area, coupled with a 3-1 lead, which made AC Milan's attack appropriately slow down.

The best chance came in the 54th minute, when Kaka received a pass from Shevchenko and fired a long-range shot from the edge of the box, which failed to hit the ground and was denied by goalkeeper Stekelenberg.

Ronald Koeman also realised that the team had to make adjustments.
