104 Milan is coming
Milan's players were ecstatic and the visiting fans cheered loudly for Nesta, who rarely scored goals and was no longer in peak form, and in his early years Nesta himself was the best defender in Italy, and he was also recognized by many forwards.
Nesta plays one day less, how can the fans not be happy for him, a good player is easy to get the recognition of many fans, after Nesta scored, even the home team fans booed well.
"Defending set-pieces is a real problem!" Hugo couldn't help but complain.
Hugo is actually not right, they have conceded some changes from set-pieces this season under Arsene Wenger's tutelage, and in 15 rounds of the game, Trapani's set-pieces have only conceded three, which is not a high percentage of their goals conceded.
Wenger was born in the Premier League, and it is undoubtedly a big loss to not pay attention to set-piece defense in that league, how can Wenger, who has been invading for many years, not have his own rules in set-piece defense!
There are several opponents Hugo who are particularly reluctant to lose this season, the first is Napoli, he and De Laurentiis are simply like the sea, the second is the Milan duo, Milan on the one hand they are a northern team, on the other hand, they have obviously become one of the biggest obstacles to Trapani winning the championship, the third is Palermo, the two teams play against each other not at all like a derby of a derby, but it is also a derby, Hugo does not want to be ridiculed by Zan.
Praise the big mouth and put the cannon down, but it belongs to the kind that no matter whether it is an acquaintance or not, it will not be able to bear it, even if Hugo is an ally with him, there were a lot of verbal battles between the two in previous years, but because Hugo has not invested too much attention in football in the past two years, everyone has eased up.
Behind Milan, Hugo was indeed a little annoyed emotionally, and the atmosphere in the box was a little dull.
There was no small talk, everyone's attention was on the game.
Allegri stood on the sidelines, his hands kept raising and pressing down, he meant to ask the Milan players to stay calm in this game, Milan team is really not that bad, this is not to say that they have reached the top level on paper, but to say that their mentality.
In the Champions League group stage, they are in a group with Real Madrid, and their performance in two legs is remarkable, and their mental attributes are absolutely top-notch, which is the benefit of their veterans.
With a wave of consecutive wins, Wenger climbed to the top of the standings, and qualified for the Champions League ahead of schedule, he has gradually won the support and trust of the team, and he also signaled his team on the sidelines to be calm and not to ignore the defense, Wenger may know better than anyone that it is difficult to win the championship without defense.
He has a flashy attacking football mindset, but that doesn't mean he doesn't pay attention to defence, and when he led Arsenal to the title, the number of goals conceded speaks for itself.
Now he is just a little worried about the impatience of the team's young people, his worries are not superfluous, 6 consecutive wins have made many players inevitably a little cocked, even if Wenger has made it clear on the sidelines that everyone should not be in a hurry, some of Trapani's players are still eager to get the score back immediately, and they are crazy high presses against Milan's players in front.
But this trick is really of little use to Milan, Pirlo is under the escort of Ambrosini and Gattuso, the ball is very stable, the unanimous Trapani players simply cannot achieve the density of the Bielsa era, Milan can easily achieve a breakthrough and let the ball pour out of the backfield completely, Mascherano and Schweinsteiger are very experienced, and on several occasions had to use fouls to organize the emptiness of the midfield.
Milan were not in a hurry, they looked like they were stalling for time, suffered a foul, but reverted to the back of the field, not easily getting the ball out of front, and a few minutes later, under Wenger's constant shouting, the Trapani players calmed down and stopped pressing so fiercely in the high post.
Milan is naturally happy to be like this, delayed, the first half of the forty-five minutes passed quickly, the first 30 minutes Trapani created a lot of opportunities, the next 10 minutes, Trapani obviously moved forward in formation, but did not create many opportunities, Allegri's team played a little "hooligan"!
The "disgusting" uncle made Hugo and others feel angry, but like Wenger, they were also a little helpless.
After the fifteen-minute break, Arsene Wenger made no substitutions, but made some tactical tweaks, asking his players to find more of Toney as a central striker, encouraging Messi to get closer to the box on the wing, and Di Maria to strengthen his crosses.
The actual combat effect is not very good, in more than ten minutes, Toney's fulcrum role in the front court has not been able to play at all, Nesta and Silva are in excellent condition, Tony is very difficult, Wenger and the assistant coaches studied for a while, replaced Tony with Cavani, the team changed tactics again, and the intensity of high pressing should be increased.
Wenger does not have the kind of "vice" of the Italian coach, the Italian coach generally once the lead, will generally seek to reduce the speed of the ball, start a conservative style of play, and carry out the defensive counterattack to the extreme, even if the goal is behind, it feels like they are not panicked, but Wenger is different, Wenger wants to seek goals in every possible way, he wants to change at half-time, and wants to put more pressure on Milan to control the ball in the front court, but Toni has only played 45 minutes after all, he really can't do it.
After Cavani came on the field, Trapani's pressing in front of the field increased sharply, Cavani has always been a player who is very good at running in the front, he came on the field for less than a few minutes, in the 67th minute, Trapani broke the ball successfully in the front, Modric grabbed the ball at the feet of Pirlo, there was a suspicion of fouling, but Rizzoli did not blow the penalty, Modric sent a through ball on the side.
Messi quickly intervened, shook Zambrotta and Silva in the penalty area, and finally hit a dead corner, Abbiati, who played bravely in the first half, could only cry out in vain, Trapani finally pulled back the score, and the home fans finally swept away the depression of the first half with cheers.
Messi's shooting is very distinctive, in fact, his strength is not great, but his angle is particularly well controlled, and he especially likes to shoot close to the ground, this kind of shooting is based on his accurate judgment of the goalkeeper's position, if the position is good, the goalkeeper is naturally not a problem, but the goalkeeper's position is not good enough, this kind of falling to the ground to save the ball is quite troublesome.
Fans who don't understand the ball don't seem to have much strength in Messi, and Abbiati seems to be in a good position, but insiders know that Abbiati is actually difficult to save the ball.
After scoring the equaliser, Trapani continued to put pressure on Milan, Milan's error rate was a bit high, their players were already a little tired, Ambrosini made a bit more mistakes, Allegri took the opportunity to replace Ambrosini with Flamini.
Flamini's role at Arsenal was to protect Cesc Fabregas, and Milan waived him at the time, which inevitably replaced Gattuso, but Flamini obviously did not adapt to the football environment in Italy, and now he is a substitute.
However, he was in good form after coming on today, providing a number of interceptions, but the overall situation between the two sides has not gone at Allegri's pace, with players from both sides playing attacking battles in the stadium, and the link between Milan's midfield and forward line is somewhat disjointed.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Robinho both had a noticeable improvement in form in the second half, with Milan and Trapani both getting their chances, and now it's up to everyone to see who can take chances better and who can make fewer mistakes at the back.
