On April 27, the Champions League semifinals, Barcelona's home match against AC Milan officially began!

'On the Milan side, Nesta was injured and replaced by Kaladze, and the rest of the backline was still a familiar face.

'But in midfield, Carlo Ancelotti has a five-man formation. Di Wei was a little surprised.

"Seedorf, Gattuso and Pirlo are all in the midfield position, is this to play on the counter-attack?"

"It should be." Duan Huo was also a little unsure, "Removing Pirlo, this is also a two-back formation, but Seedorf has both offense and defense, is a world-class midfielder, and the Milan midfielder's support for the attack is not bad at all." ”

"It's a pity that Rui Costa came on and Inzaghi didn't." Di Wei was a little regretful.

Last season, in the Champions League group stage, the duo helped the team beat Laco 4-0.

Among them, Inzaghi scored three and Rui Costa provided three assists.

The combination of a long pass master and a running master makes fans look forward to their subsequent development.

It's a pity that with Rui Costa's form declining and Inzaghi being injured and suspended, this combination failed to exert its power and slowly declined.

In this regard, Rui Costa himself is quite open-minded, it is better to say that he has no regrets.

When he was in Fiorentina, he worked hard with Barty and Toldo to win a league title for the team.

I have to say that in the fiercely competitive Serie A in recent years, even the role of superstars is not as big as imagined.

After Barty went to Rome and fulfilled his dream of winning the league, Rui Costa also came to Milan.

However, unlike Barty's voluntary departure, Rui Costa has more helplessness.

At that time, Florence had reached the point of bankruptcy and had to sell Rui for funds.

On the day of the transfer, the Purple Lily's fans bid farewell to Rui with tears and did not complain about him.

It is also because of this that there are still some fans who can't forgive Barty for running away back then, but they love Rui deeply.

Regardless of what Rui thinks in his heart, after coming to Milan, he won the Champions League in 02-03 and the league in 03-04, and he has no regrets for the club.

As for the national team, Rui lost the Euro Championship final in '04, and Rui has always been remembered for his crying expression.

He is a great master of football and an admirable footballer.

But now, he's not the main character.

Glancing at Kaka beside him, Rui knew very well that this young man was the future of Milan.

And he, like Rivaldo, is leaving.

Rui did not complain or reel at this impending fact.

In Milan, he has no regrets.

What's more, he is not too young anymore, and naturally, he accepts this fact.

As it turned out, Rui's idea was quite correct.

After the start of the game, Kaka frequently created killing opportunities and almost broke through Barcelona's defense!

"Kars, keep an eye on him!" Just five minutes into the game, Rijkaard couldn't sit still.

Puyol, who was named, looked at Kaka, but his eyes were full of embarrassment.

He's the kind of guy who likes to get into the midfield, and when someone hits him behind him, he chases after him.

It's not his unique style, that's how a lot of La Liga defenders play now.

Barcelona, as an attacking team, is naturally not lagging behind in this aspect.

Once, Barcelona also produced a **-type defender with a knife like Koeman.

That is the wonderful central defender who can score double goals this season!

However, against Milan, or Kaka to be precise, he didn't do it.

Or rather, it has become an Achilles' heel!

"Shadow Blade?" Rijkaard wiped the sweat from his head.

Milan's midfield five, standing in the midfield position is Rui Costa, and Kaka stands a little higher than him.

Such a location allows Kaka to be closer to the gates of Barcelona.

It is this little change in distance that makes Barcelona encounter the most difficult situation -

Kaka's rapid advance, Puyol can't stop it!

If Barcelona have a good midfielder at the moment, then Kaka's problem is not too big.

After all, Kaka is still very young now, and he is not as strong as he was at his peak.

However, the problem is that Barcelona don't have a really strong defensive midfielder.

Deco and Xavi defended well, but they were only at a decent level.

Among them, Deco's defense is stronger than Xavi's, but Deco's defense is the type that is rigidly restrained by Kaka.

Because, Deco is the kind of player who runs a lot all over the court, but he is the kind of player who distributes his energy reasonably.

In short, he is good for long runs and not good for sprints.

Every time Kaka rushes up, he can only follow behind and eat ashes!

Puyol was also uncomfortable, always being beaten by Kaka, and had to retreat to the backfield.

He is the team's central defender, and after being beaten by Kaka all the time, the team's defense is finished!

As a result, Barcelona's ability to control the midfield has directly dropped a notch!

"It's over......" Rijkaard shook his head.

Without Puyol, Barcelona's midfield defense has completely become a bottomless pit!

Rijkaard did not remind Puyol, because neither he nor Puyol himself knew the importance of the Barcelona captain to the team's midfield.

It was with a clear understanding of this that Puyol chose to retreat.

What does this mean?

It shows that the threat of Kaka's advancement has made him have to defend himself!

That young man is even better than he imagined!

It should be said that his technical characteristics are simply Barcelona's nemesis!

Rijkaard bowed his head.

In fact, although the players were not confident before the game, he still thought he could win.

First of all, this is Barcelona's home stadium, and there is nothing to say about that.

Secondly and most importantly, Milan have had so many games lately that if they just hit it a little more, their stamina will definitely collapse!

However, now, after seeing the tactics laid out by Carlo Ancelotti, Rijkaard is completely desperate.

"Transmission?" Watching Milan's intricate and delicate passing in the midfield, Rijkaard's face changed again and again.

Kicking a pass in front of Barcelona?

It may sound like a self-defeating force, but Milan really have that quality.

What's more, the use of this tactic is very friendly to the Milan veterans.

Their physical problems will not erupt for a moment!

Barça's defence has suffered problems, and so has Barça's attack!

On the one hand, they were dragged down by the team's defense, so they couldn't control the ball.

On the other hand, it was also the team's offense that was in trouble.

Especially Zhuo Cunzhi!

Looking at Gattuso running around in front of him, Zhuo Cunzhi's head is big! Still struggling with the latest chapter you can't find?
