Turning around, before this game, there is also a Champions League group stage, and every game is a tough battle.
This is no exception and is a very difficult game. Borussia Dortmund is the strongest opponent in the group, and one of their players is Shahin, who is also an old friend of Zhang Qing, who has been seen on the field of the World Youth Championships, and he is also the main core of the team, and his strength should not be underestimated.
Although this is a defeated general, but the strength of the people is really strong, if Zhang Qing underestimates the enemy, then he will definitely be the one who loses.
Besides, it was only the Turkish youth team before, and the other teammates were not star players, but Dortmund is different, they are all famous stars here, plus Shahin, the strength is super strong, I don't know how much stronger than the Turkish youth team, so you can't underestimate the enemy.
Ancelotti is also ready to win this game, after all, he has the advantage of home field, and Inzaghi has made a strong comeback, and has been training with the team for a while.
He was ready to win the game in the first half, so when arranging the lineup, he deliberately considered it.
After all, no matter how strong Inzaghi is, he has just made a comeback, and he did not dare to rashly replace Zhang Qing, who was in good form, in this game, and replaced Inzaghi with an unknown state.
So there was no change in the main lineup, the only change was that Kaka sat on the bench and Rui Costa started again.
With such a big scene, it still needs stars to calm the field, and Rui Costa's keen sense of smell may pose a certain threat to the opposition backline.
The game started quickly, and Zhang Qing stood on the court and looked at the opponent's lineup.
He is already a professional footballer and often needs to look at the line-up of all teams, especially the opponents, and he can't study it more thoroughly.
So he saw a lineup that could be called luxurious.
Striker Robert Lewandowski of Poland, Barrios of Paraguay, old acquaintance of the midfielder Turkish Shahin, and Hummels of the back line, etc., many of them are old acquaintances, and several lines have their own generals to defend, compared with Greece's Pana New Nax team, the strength is simply incomparable.
This one can't underestimate the opponent, and if you don't say it well, you may be overturned by the opponent.
The game started with Borussia Dortmund kicking off first.
After kick-off, the ball was handed to Shaheen's feet.
For this opponent, Zhang Qing is already very familiar, the two of them have communicated before the game, for defeating themselves, Shaheen seems convinced, after all, in the end, the national youth team has overcome all the obstacles, defeated Germany, Brazil, and finally won the championship, he Shahin's Turkish team must not be sure to say that he won the championship, so the two naturally became good friends.
Although they are good friends in private, they are opponents on the field, both of them are the leaders of the club or the national youth team, the same figure as the leader, Shahin is even more so, he is not only the leader of the Turkish youth team, but now he is also selected for the Turkish national team, and he will also participate in the national team on the weekend, and in the club, he is also the absolute core, the current position of the club is more fixed, that is, the organizational back, similar to Pirlo's position, responsible for connecting the entire defense and attack, playing a role of connecting the previous and the next.
And this time he and Zhang Qing couldn't match, and Rui Costa faced Shahin.
Shaheen won't pass up this chance to play against the maestro and want to prove himself in front of Rui Costa.
I saw him take the ball to organize and attack the heart of the AC Milan team.
The midfielder was intercepted by Gattuso and he played the ball straight to Lewandowski up front.
Lewandowski is an all-round center forward, with a variety of techniques, passing, stopping, shooting, heading, etc., which is relatively balanced, without obvious weaknesses, and can also pass the ball for other teammates from time to time, and cooperate with the ferry.
The ball came to a steady stop at his feet, and it was the world-class centre-back who was guarding him, Nesta.
He also knew Nesta's strength, so he didn't dare to be careless, and the ball was passed directly to the other players.
After a lot of foot passes, layer by layer, it finally hit the front of the AC Milan penalty area.
Shaheen made a through ball and passed the ball to Barrios, who cut in front of the flank.
This Barrios is a fast and opportunistic shooter, who is outstanding in all aspects of his body, and has a super scoring ability and is very threatening.
From time to time, he runs back and forth between centre-backs and full-backs, because there is more space here, which is conducive to getting rid of and running as a striker like him.
At this time, Stam and Maldini happened to have a gap, and both of them were also veterans, and the speed of turning was not as fast as back then, revealing a position.
As a result, Barrios caught a positive one. He cut in at high speed, got ahead of Maldini and Stam and got on the ball.
There was an open field in front of him, so when he received the ball, he quickly stepped forward, shook off the defenders who might come forward to defend and fired a low shot.
Goalkeeper Dida made a quick save but was a step too late and Barrios was a dangerous shot that went straight into the bottom of the net.
0:1 AC Milan were already behind, and they were scored by the opposition in less than 15 minutes.
At this time, the fans on the field were a little embarrassed, after all, it is rare to be scored by the opponent so quickly in this season, and the opponent's strength is indeed very strong, with a domineering forward line, two super scorers, plus a midfield organization core, and a rookie in the backline.
With such strength, how will AC Milan respond?
Shevchenko and Zhang Qing stood in front of the ball.
The ball was driven again and handed to Rui Costa for organization.
He and Andrea Pirlo can be called the two brains of AC Milan, and they have to play a decisive role in the team's scheduling, passing the ball, organizing the rhythm of the attack, and regulating the direction of the attack.
The left and right sides have been bottomed, the middle of Sheva is set in front, Zhang Qing retreats to get the ball, the whole formation is now clearly layered, there are many outflanking points, and the attack points are scattered, it can be said that it is completely ready for the battle.
But Dortmund's defense is also good, and Hummels is also a big player in the backline, and he also played against Zhang Qing in the World Youth Championships, and his strength is good.
At this time, it was he who was staring at Zhang Qing.
As soon as Zhang Qing got out of the box, Rui Costa passed the ball to him and ran in the other direction.
Zhang Qing saw his intentions and knocked the ball back to him, and then Rui Costa turned the ball to the other side, while captain Maldini was waiting on the wing. (To be continued.) )
