In this game, Shevchenko and Zhang Qing are still on the forward line, Ambrosini, Pirlo, Gattuso, and Rui Costa are four people in the midfield, Serginho and Cafu are partners in the backline, and the central defenders are Nesta and Maldini, who were once the double central defenders of the Italian national team.
From the start of the game, AC Milan were the first to attack, with Rui Costa in midfield and assisted by Serginho and Cafu on the wings.
Seeing that Serginho had already inserted an assist, Shevchenko stepped forward to answer him, and after a round of exquisite cooperation between the two, Rui Costa made a direct pass to Zhang Qing's feet.
By this time, he was so caught in the opposition that he couldn't break through and turn around, so he passed the ball straight to Gattuso in front of him.
Gattuso was the assist, and although he got the ball, he didn't threaten forward, so he passed the ball to Cafu, who was inserted on the right flank.
Cafu was quick and went straight down to the baseline to break through and prepare for a cross.
Unfortunately, the opponent paid great attention to the defense on his side, which caused him to be unable to pass. So he had to pass the ball back to Pirlo in the middle.
Pirlo made a big foot and played the ball to the left.
His vision is very broad, and there are already a lot of players from the opposing side here, so a transfer is needed at this time, otherwise entanglement with the opposing players will only cut off the ball.
Serginho was still standing on the left, and after receiving the ball, he stopped the ball very lightly, and then stopped and passed the opposing full-back, and then came to the middle.
With Shevchenko and Rui Costa outflanking at the near point in the middle and Zhang Qing at the far point, it can be said that if the ball is passed to the middle, it will be very threatening.
With such a ball, Serginho directly plugged it, and the ball flew flat to the front of the penalty area.
Shevchenko fell to the ground at the front point and was ready to shovel with all his heart, and Zhang Qing in the rear also inserted it in time and prepared to outflank.
As a result, neither of them touched the ball under the interference of the other party, and the ball went directly out of the sideline in the direction of the goal.
Purple Lily Florence escaped.
As soon as the opening game, the AC Milan team launched such a fierce attack, although it was also expected by the Fiorentina coach, but he did not expect that the fullback was actually replaced by Serginho, a guy who can only assist, after all, this style of play is very aggressive, and it can be said that the two wings will definitely be suppressed by the other side.
Thinking of this, he hurriedly ordered his players to recycle the defensive line and let the full-backs withdraw to defend.
And AC Milan did not stop attacking, they launched attacks again and again.
The left flank was the one they played the most in the first half, after all, it was the assisting full-back Serginho on the field, and with a passer like Rui Costa in the middle, the attack was very aggressive.
You must know that he is a winger or a full-back, and his attacking ability is very strong, and he is sent on the field at this time in the hope that he can make low crosses and breakthroughs in the front field to pose a threat to the opponent.
The head coach of Purple Lily Fiorentina did not take this situation into account at all, so in the first half of the first half, he was pressed down the left side by the opponent and had no way to fight back.
However, their defense was indeed very good, although there was a lot of danger in front of goal, but they did not give AC Milan a real chance, and in the first half of the game, the two sides played 0:0, each had to come to the second half.
Ancelotti didn't make any changes at half-time, but he still played the same tactics as he did in the first half and was ready to continue to increase the pace of his attack and wait for an early goal.
Because the more time passes, the more bad it will be for AC Milan, and if they don't score by the last minute, then the victory will belong to the Purple Lily.
At this time, Rui Costa, Pirlo and others kept passing in the midfield, they were ready to use the width of the field to make left and right scheduling, and then the two full-backs stepped forward to assist, and the bottom cross was flanked.
But in reality, although the attack was very sharp, there was no goal, only blossoming and not bearing fruit.
Ancelotti was so anxious on the sidelines that he called Seedorf, Inzaghi and others over for them to warm up.
At this time, he may have to take another risk and try to replace three strikers, after all, the time is getting less and less, and now it has been more than 70 minutes of the game, and there is still no goal, and he has not changed alone.
Seeing this situation, he thought about it and decided to make substitutions, first he called Kaka and Inzaghi up, and successively replaced Ambrosini and Gattuso, that is to say, the two defenders in the midfield were down, leaving only Pirlo to organize the back, and Rui Costa and Kaka will partner in the double forward midfield, Inzaghi and Shevchenko and Zhang Qing will play a three-forward formation.
This is obviously a desperate style of play, after all, if you are grabbed by the opponent, there is no interceptor like Gattuso in the midfield, it is difficult to ensure that you will not be broken by the opponent, and the defenders Nesta and Maldini on this side have to face the direct breakthrough of the opponent's midfield in addition to watching a tall center like Toney.
This is a hard fight for AC Milan.
After changing two attacking players in a row, AC Milan's attack did improve a lot, Inzaghi continued to grab points in the penalty area, tearing apart the opponent's defense, Zhang Qing and Shevchenko two forwards kept looking for opportunities, Kaka and Rui Costa a pass, a dribble, and Pirloto defended at the back. There are also Brazil's two wings on the wings, not to mention Fiorentina, such an offensive line will be worried even by Juventus and even several big teams in continental competitions.
But 10 minutes passed, and it was 85 minutes, and the score was still 0:0, and there was still no goal.
Ancelotti was already restless, and he came to the edge of the field, shouting and directing his players to attack.
But with chances wasted again and again, the game could end with this scoreline.
At this time, Zhang Qing retreated to the outside of the box to take the ball, and he received a pass from Pirlo.
One player on each of the two wings, two strikers in the middle and a striker at the edge of the box, that's one format at the moment.
Zhang Qing got the ball and looked up, he finally turned around and faced the goal head-on.
At this time, he saw that there were already defenders approaching him, and he was about to come over and steal, and the players next to him were far away from him, so he made a decision, that is, he went on his own. (To be continued.) )
