Pressing high is actually a double-edged sword.

If you keep forcing the opposition to make mistakes in central midfield, you've succeeded;

But once the opponent cracks your high press, and passes the ball to the front court between three feet and two feet, then you will inevitably face a quick counterattack, and then you may have to face the opponent's high press.

The trident without Cristiano Ronaldo in the counterattack is ultimately easier to deal with, which is why Carlo Ancelotti dared to make a move against Manchester United.

Looking at Gattuso wandering around Vardy, coupled with the center-back combination of Nesta and Maldini in the back, even Vardy may not be able to make any moves in the face of these three top defenders in the world.

Of course, there are too many lessons ahead, so today Gattuso's meat grinder directly turned off the motor, just defending Vardy, very honest, and didn't dare to make it bad at all!

In the 16th minute of the first half, after Inzaghi tackled Evra, a cross hit the feet of Kaka, and the son of God dribbled forward at high speed, and suddenly burst into action at the edge of the penalty area, once again testing Van der Sar's saving skills.

Ferguson knew that he could not continue like this, otherwise Milan, who were more proactive in tactics, would completely suppress Manchester United.

He walked to the sideline and made a few gestures to Vardy, but the gestures were so obvious that everyone knew what they meant.

After receiving the instructions, Vardy nodded without hesitation and began to retreat, and the retreat was deep, even standing in line with the lower back.

It's not just about adding points.

A swarm rushes to the ball, that is not called a high-level rush, that is called a blind robbery, and the high-level pressing is an overall rush with cooperation and linkage.

And there is no doubt that in Ferguson's mind, if the backfield players alone can't break the high pressing, then fortunately, Manchester United also have Jamie Vardy, who is the solution for many situations at Manchester United.

When facing the opponent's high pressing, the ball carrier usually only needs to face the opponent's offensive player pressing, then, as long as the ball holder can get rid of the opponent's pressing cleanly, then the high press will be cracked instantly, and the next breakthrough is a smooth road.

And who is the strongest in the Manchester United squad for breaking through?

That's Vardy, of course!

Retreating to the midfield position, Vardy ran into the open space and received a pass from Van der Sar, although there was pressure from Inzaghi behind, but Vardy did not have the slightest worry, and deftly turned and swiped his feet, and passed Inzaghi cleanly.

It seems that Carlo Ancelotti has already planned for it, and when Vardy retreated, Gattuso and Ambrosini were also in position in an instant, and after Vardy turned past Inzaghi, they were directly confronted by the two of them.

If they fail to pass in this position, then Manchester United will face a direct blow from their opponents, which is very dangerous.

While Jamie doesn't feel like he's going to be cut off, there could be a more direct way, so why not!

Before the two players could close the goal, Vardy pushed the ball to Carrick on the right and then leaped between the two to shake them off, and by this time, he had already received a tacit response from Carrick.

Two over two!

At this point, getting rid of Gattuso and Ambrosini, Milan's empty backline was directly exposed to Vardy.

What the? And Pirlo, you say?

He's a master passer, yes, but when it comes to defense, are you sure he has defense?

Without the slightest politeness to the master passer, Pirlo began to doubt life right behind Vardy!

Milan defensively strong, but they have a fatal weakness, and that is that they are not young!

The two fullbacks are 30 and 31, and the world's No. 1 central defender Nesta is also 30 years old, and what is even more scary is that Maldini, the soul of the team, is 39 this year, which is very suitable for being a grandfather at this age......

Nesta couldn't keep up with Vardy, and Maldini was thrown so that he couldn't see the taillights, which was the rhythm of eating raw by the minute.

Facing Maldini who rushed up, Vardy was actually full of reverence in his heart, but this does not mean that he has to release the water, and sometimes, doing his best is the greatest respect for his opponent.

Unceremoniously toddled the ball to the right, the body flexibly dodged the space, and just passed Maldini directly, without any mud and water!

At that moment, Maldini really had a sense of heroic twilight in his chest, maybe before the age of 30, he could really defend Vardy, but now, he can't even reach for a foul.

After past Maldini, Vardy was already at the top of the box and before Nesta could rush up, he slammed his right foot and the ball burst wide.

Let's go inside!

No matter how beautiful a long run is, without scoring a goal, it is just for the sake of the face and worthless.

This goal is very important for Manchester United, if Manchester United lead, then Milan must attack, and then I am afraid that Manchester United will have to change to Milan to carry out high-pressure pressing.

As if with Vardy's belief, the ball whistled and hung in the corner of the goal, Dida couldn't make a save, and the Milan goal was breached!

Scored!

At the moment of the goal, the Olympic Stadium in Athens completely exploded, and two very different furious emotions converged and ignited the entire stadium.

Vardy roared passionately, turned around and rushed to the sidelines, the explosive power was fully released, and when the speed reached the fastest, he couldn't help but come to a slippery kneel, everything was not planned, it was just his temporary rise, and the visual shock effect that could be produced made the fans of the whole world climax.

The teammates rushed over excitedly, also knelt on the ground and hugged each other, celebrating the goal passionately.

Everyone knows what this goal means, any goal in any game can mean a win, and perhaps this is the goal that decides the Champions League trophy.

The Milan players were hit hard by Vardy's raid, obviously they still occupied the absolute initiative just now, but they didn't expect Vardy to retreat and directly break through his goal for the first time.

It can be said that this goal directly reversed the situation on the field, and the next game will become more intense, perhaps the white heat will be directly presented in front of the fans.

It was true that the high press was broken and the team's goal was missed, disrupting Ancelotti's set-up, but for a master tactician, it was impossible for him not to think about it before the game.

Therefore, after the restart of the game, Milan's style of play changed, from giving up the ball to pressing high to being more accustomed to pressing attacks, what Milan had to do was to equalize in the first half as soon as possible, and not enter the second half with a disadvantage.

Andrea Pirlo constantly organises Milan's attacks through running passes, Kaka and Seedorf repeatedly drill through United's defensive ribs, and Inzaghi is like a-stirring stick, running freely in the United penalty area.

As the minutes passed, Milan continued to attack the United defence, making United feel a huge pressure, especially Kaka, who seemed to be able to pose a threat to the United with every time he got the ball.

In the 27th minute of the first half, Kaka flashed the ball past Park Ji-sung's defense, but his iconic long-range shot smashed on the post, which made people sigh and sigh, and the cry of regret floated over the Olympic Stadium and did not dissipate for a long time.

Neither Park Ji-sung nor Fletcher could limit Kaka's play, and Kaka at his peak was to some extent as inexplicable as Vardy, and even if the two joined forces, they were usually cleaned by Kaka's simple and smooth but extremely effective movements.

The name of the Assassin is well deserved!

Ferguson mobilized Alan Smith to defend Kaka, but he was also shaken by Kaka, and there was no way to completely limit Kaka.

And just as Ferguson was thinking about how to respond, Kaka scored!

In the 31st minute of the first half, Seedorf crossed from the left, and Inzaghi made a direct shot on the line of the small penalty area, but he made a false shot and leaked the ball, and the Manchester United defense suddenly had a hole.

Kaka, who was in ambush at the back post, was unguarded and equalized the score.

Looking at Kaka, who soared at the Olympic Stadium to celebrate his goal with his teammates, Vardy sighed that it was Kaka at his peak, and it was really difficult to deal with.

Ronaldo has made a lot of progress this season, and there is no problem in squeezing into the top five in world football in terms of comprehensive strength, although Rooney has not improved much, it is not too difficult to maintain the top ten in the world.

Whether it is Ronaldo or Rooney, compared to Kaka, they are still immature, and this season's Kaka has an outstanding style.

But that's good, it's cold in high places, there is no opponent, and it's not fun to kick by yourself!

Vardy had a smile on his face, but few people could understand the meaning of his smile!

Today's Vardy is not the usual lazy Vardy, but a Vardy who has been completely motivated by the peak Kaka, and such Vardy has only qualified in two extremely difficult games against Chelsea.

So let's compete with this game!

At the very least, let yourself not be left with regrets!

Milan celebrated a lot, but when the game restarted, the two teams seemed to have a very good understanding, neither of them attacked aggressively, and the second half was the time to really win the game.

Sure enough, when the referee blew the whistle to end the first half, neither team scored again, and returned to the dressing room with a score of 1:1, where the two managers would lay out the tactics of the second half and decide the winner.

As Vardy walked off the pitch, his mind was still thinking about Kaka's first-half goal and Milan's attack.

I have to admit that Milan is really strong this season, even if there are weaknesses, but under Ancelotti's strong tactics, they are all covered up, making people unable to speak.

This kind of competition is interesting, isn't it?

Uh, there's no point in thinking about this now, Kaka is idle, I'll go and hug one first!
