The faces of the AC Milan players turned unpleasant, and they had seen hope, and Livermore fired a shot at goal to send them to hell again.

The difference between the two goals was re-pressed in their hearts, making the AC Milan players feel the burden on their shoulders, but the two goals are not an absolute difference, if they can catch up with two goals, they can still catch up.

With this in mind, AC Milan regained their confidence.

After the game restarted, AC Milan continued to attack Millwall in the half, their active running, active scrambling, and smooth coordination, as AC Milan showed a wonderful performance, the cheers of the Milan fans in the spectator stands also became loud again.

Many people have figured it out!

Although Millwall has completed the goal, AC Milan has not lost yet, only two goals apart, and many fans and media believe that with AC Milan's strength and performance, there is definitely a chance to catch up.

Milan fans cheered for the team with shouts, and the Italian media used analysis to help AC Milan 'say' a good situation, "4 to 2, it seems that Millwall has an advantage, but don't forget that this is at the San Siro Stadium, the first half is not over, two goals are nothing for AC Milan!" ”

The analysis of the Italian media is completely brainless in favor of AC Milan, and they have no choice, because AC Milan is the only hope of Italian football in the Champions League, and among the top four teams, three are English teams, and the Italian media very much hope that AC Milan will be able to beat the other three Premier League teams and win the Champions League trophy.

If AC Milan wants to win the Champions League, they must first pass Millwall.

Next, the Italian media conducted various analyses of the game, using various examples, tactical analysis, performance analysis, etc., to show that AC Milan has an advantage over Millwall, and that AC Milan scored two goals easily.

These analyses all speak of the truth, and they sound very exciting, and people can't help but nod their heads, as if the game is like this, but no matter how good the analysis is, it can't affect the game.

For the remainder of the first half, AC Milan dominated the situation, holding Millwall at bay and scoring three shots, but until the referee blew the final whistle, they failed to score a single goal and the score remained 4-2.

————

Time goes into halftime.

The players from both teams went back to the dressing room separately and their mentality was diametrically opposed.

Millwall walked off the pitch with a relaxed smile on their faces, while AC Milan had a heavy face, few of them spoke, and most of them walked briskly back to the dressing room.

In the Millwall dressing room.

Zhang Yang was the first to come back, he waited for the players to return, and only after all came back did he smile and praise the players' performance, "The first half was very good, just continue to play like this!" I would like to emphasize one more point, we must play steadily, don't rush to advance, don't rush to find opportunities, pass, cooperate, and then run, we must be more stable. The other party is much more anxious than us! ”

Zhang Yang repeatedly emphasized defense, "Defense is more important!" As long as they don't score, we'll be victorious. In the second half, they will definitely attack more and more, and all we need to do is to hold on, and when defending, it is enough to leave one person in the front! ”

Next, Zhang Yang laid out the style of play in the second half.

The overall formation and personnel have not changed, Zhang Yang's main emphasis is on defense, because there are two goal advantages, and if you do a good job of defense, you can be more patient with AC Milan.

There is no doubt that Millwall is more patient.

AC Milan will definitely get more and more anxious, if they can't tie for a long time, they won't have the energy to take care of the defense at the back, and then it will be Millwall's chance.

This style of play has a general term - defensive counterattack.

Millwall are all about counter-attacking, with two midfielders, four defenders, and a three forward three who are constantly dropping back, the defensive intensity is enough, and a fast and technically good Darren Bent staying up front is enough to pose a lethal threat to AC Milan.

AC Milan dressing room.

Silence is the main theme.

Carlo Ancelotti stood in the middle of the crowd, he looked at the expressions of the players, first coughed lightly to attract attention, and then opened his mouth to analyze the first half to explain that 'not playing advantage, not playing badly, just lucky', in order to cheer up the AC Milan players.

This is a necessary practice.

The first half was tied at 1-1, and AC Milan couldn't be happy considering the score over two legs, and every player had a heavy look in their eyes and had to find a way to relax them.

After a little encouragement, Ancelotti talked about the strategy for the second half, and his main emphasis was on attack.

AC Milan has no other option.

Millwall lead by two goals and have the absolute initiative, they have flexible options, to the game can be offensive and defensive, AC Milan is different, in the case of behind, there is no point in emphasizing defense, they must take the initiative and carry out a high-intensity offensive to hope to equalize the score.

Soon the second half began.

In the opening stages, AC Milan launched a high-intensity attack, pressing Millwall for five minutes in a row, and they kept looking for ways to break through the Millwall defence.

Straight plugs, high hanging, breakthroughs, etc.

AC Milan's attack was indeed fantastic, but they struggled to find an effective way to score against Millwall's full-line defence.

At halftime, Ancelotti said that there were many ways to break the goal, and AC Milan had to try it on the field, including relying on Kaka and Pirlo to break through, and passing the ball directly to the goal, so that players such as Gilardino and Seedorf could fight for the point, and then relying on cooperation to pull the space, and give Cafu and other capable players to provide space for long-range shots.

Wait a minute.

These methods of breaking the door are not very effective.

Perhaps because of the player's performance problems, the Brazilian star Kaka, who has high hopes from the Italian media and Milan fans, has fallen into the quagmire of defense, and he is closely watched by Livermore, let alone make a personal breakthrough, and there is no room to start.

There is also a difference between dribbling the ball and passing people.

A player like Andrea Pirlo is best at controlling the ball in small areas, and his skills at his feet are quite flexible, which is why he is known as the 'master of football control', and if you want to grab the ball at Pirlo's feet, you have to be prepared to be shaken.

Kaka is also good at breaking through, but is the polar opposite of the Pirlo type.

Kaka is the kind of player who is good at speed, and when he rushes up with the ball, it is difficult to be stopped, and with his super explosiveness and speed, he only needs one change of direction to get past defenders.

This type of player is also most afraid of dense defense.

In a small area of space, explosiveness and speed cannot be exerted, even if you get the ball, you can't rush at all, and if you want to pass people, you must rely on the ability to control the ball.

In the face of Millwall's dense defense, Kaka was a little lost, not to mention rushing up and passing, he had a problem connecting the ball, Livermore has been standing by Kaka's side, and the nearby Millwall players will also come over to help defend it, so that Kaka can't cooperate with his teammates normally.

Kaka's point was blocked, and AC Milan's goal was also affected.

At this time, the most threatening player in the AC Milan team became Andrea Pirlo.

Pirlo has been standing on the edge of the box and rarely runs inside, but he is a game commander and his team-mates are happy to pass the ball through, Pirlo's personal rhythm is a little slow, he tends to stop the ball, control the ball, and then glance at his team-mate's position to pass the ball to the most appropriate point, or just look for opportunities and go straight into the box to bring a threat to Millwall's goal.

This style of play still works.

It is impossible for any defence to be without holes, and the opposing players are constantly running in the penalty area, and they may also take the initiative to create holes, if Pirlo is allowed to kick like this, it is really only a matter of time before Millwall is scored, and Morris immediately waved his hand to ask Braniv to pay more attention to Pirlo and not let the opponent pass the ball so easily.

It's kind of useful.

Braniff's defensive ability is not bad, at least much better than Simpson and other forward players, even if he is just standing next to Pirlo, when the opponent is in possession of the ball, he will no longer be so casual and can no longer pass steadily.

The best performer in Millwall's team was Morris.

Andrea Pirlo was the commander of AC Milan's attack, and Morris was the commander of Millwall's defence.

Morris not only commanded his team-mates to defend, but he also ran on his own to help Millwall set up a defence on the edge of the box.

This work is usually Livermore's.

Livermore is focusing on Kaka, and it is Morris who keeps running, Morris's physical fitness is certainly not as good as Livermore's, but his running is more efficient, and most of his runs can pose a threat to AC Milan's attack, and he has also appeared in key positions in the defense.

AC Milan were frustrated by Morris' defence and they did everything they could to break through Millwall's midfield defence, but in the past they had to face a more solid backline.

The game was at a stalemate.

AC Milan could not break Millwall's goal, and under the pressure of AC Milan, Millwall had too few players in front, and it was difficult to play a counter-attack.

Both teams were unable to score.

This format is in Millwall's favour as Millwall have a score advantage.

As time went by, AC Milan became more and more impatient, and in response, Millwall gradually developed a fast-break threat.

Seeing Millwall's fast attack and continuous threat to the AC Milan goal, the Italian media were a little anxious.

At this time, the British BBC live broadcast camera switched to the Millwall coach's seat, and I saw Zhang Yang walking to the sideline with a relaxed smile and his hands on his chest.

When he noticed the camera lens, Zhang Yang turned his head to face the camera, the smile on his face became more and more intense, and at the same time, the index finger and middle finger of his right hand were raised at the same time, and he made a 'V' victory gesture in front of his neck, and the meaning of the expression was obvious.

Lineker interpreted, "Zhang Yang has made a declaration of victory!" ”

"His actions are a bit secretive, but it's understandable that AC Milan are two goals down and then openly declare victory may anger Milan fans......
