Chapter 121: Frequent
The former Shevchenko has come to the goal, he is alone in front of the opponent's goalkeeper's handle, at this time he did not adopt, the situation of shooting vigorously, but gently rubbing which angle to push directly, the opponent's goalkeeper Cesar, there is no time to save, because he is very far from the goal, in such a short distance, it is not easy to react and save, and it is impossible to save the opponent's ball, so although Cesar made a move, he can still only watch the ball into the goal, 1:0,
The Champions League final has begun.
AC Milan took the lead.
After that, the players of the AC Milan team were very happy, and they were also very happy to land, applauding the players.
After all, it's a very, happy thing to be able to score at home, and the next thing they have to do is to extend the score again and score a few more goals so that they can hold on to the score when they play away from home, and that's what they need to do in the first leg.
And Inter Milan is certainly not willing to fall behind the score, although it is away, they are ready to launch a crazy counterattack, because they have sent two strikers in this game, so in Mancini's view, this game did not admit defeat, did not tie up, but hoped to compete at the home of AC Milan.
AC Milan temporarily led Inter Milan by the score, but Inter Milan's central defender did not give up, because it was only 0:1, there were still many debaters in the game, and it was not to the point where it was about to end, and this was a 180-minute round of the game, the whole game had just begun, and at this time the Inter Milan team also launched a proper counterattack, although they did not download, and lost the game away, but the score was obviously acceptable to them.
On the other hand, AC Milan continue to strengthen their attack, because at home, they can't sell you with a 1-0 result, and Inter Milan away, they will face more pressure, so they will have to score more goals in the next games.
Although the home stadium of both teams is a stadium, one is called San Siro and the other is called Meazza, ability, due to the difference in the number of fans entering the home and away stadiums of both sides, so it creates an atmosphere of home and away, this game is the home of AC Milan, and they have a lot of home fans, which are far from suppressing the fans of the Inter Milan team in terms of momentum.
Therefore, in the next half of the game, AC Milan will strengthen their attack even more, and they are prepared to score at least two goals in order to ensure that they can win the next game.
Carlo Ancelotti also arranged for his players to work the attack, and he constantly directed the two flanks to break down and cross the bottom, and then flank them in the middle.
And Inter Milan's defense of them is tighter, more solid, leaving only two strikers in front, and then the backfield uses the form of long passes to launch an attack, while the rest of the players almost all stay in their own half, which also creates a state of compromise in their midfield, only the back line and the forward line, although so, but does not affect their defense and offensive efficiency, the whole game, although they have fewer shots, but every shot is very threatening, and in defense, Although they were beaten passively throughout the game, they were still able to defend against AC Milan's strong attack and ensure that their own goal was not conceded.
At this time, the two wings Rui Costa and Kaka, respectively, launched an effective attack, Kaka is to break through with the ball, he constantly shuttles back and forth between the wings and the middle defenders, feeding the forward line with cannonballs, and will also return to the middle, receiving the backfield passes from Pirlo and Gattuso, and then organizing an effective attack, so that he assumes the role of the connection between the midfielder and the striker, and plays the role of connecting the previous and the next.
Another wing Rui Costa, Zhoushan fishing boat through the ball to the ball behind the ball, in short, all possible threatening passes will come from it, including the dispatch of the two wings, as well as the through ball, and the long shot, basically created by him.
Zhang Qing and Shevchenko ran back and forth on the forward line, whether it was a ball back pass at their feet or a pass over the top, they all worked hard to fight, although there was no problem with the physical strength of the two people, but after the turnaround and sprint again and again, the two people were also somewhat exhausted in physical strength, and in the hand-to-hand combat with the opposing defender, it was obviously a little difficult.
So Ancelotti replaced Inzaghi in the 65th minute of the game, and he partnered with Zhang Qing to form a forward driver to attack.
The substitution was somewhat unexpected, he did not replace a defender or midfielder, but instead formed a three-striker formation, but adopted a very conservative, counter-substitution, he replaced Shevchenko for Inzaghi.
This is also a signal that the AC Milan team will once again use, cross or pass through the ball, the way to deliver cannonballs to the forward, because, Inzaghi's characteristics are somewhat different from Shevchenko's, its characteristics are mainly in the strong point, header, and the key point of the final shot, so how to deliver cannonballs for him, crossing, has become the top priority, and the other striker Zhang Qing, his characteristic is that he can run, pass and shoot, so he has become Inzaghi's very advantageous assistant, He needs to lure the opposing defenders away, run aggressively, and pull out the gaps.
So then AC Milan frequently made long diagonal passes at a 45-degree angle on both wings, directly to Inzaghi's point, and he completed the shot.
On the other hand, Zhang Qing retreated to the middle of the middle to outflank, he not only had to complete the dribbling and shooting actions in the penalty area, but also to receive the pass from his teammates, come to the position of the arc line of the penalty area, receive the pass from his teammates, and then act as a playmaker for direct plugging or long-range shooting.
For him, this task is even more difficult, because what he used to do as a striker was to stop the ball, turn and shoot, but now he has to do not only that, but also pass the ball, run the vision, and so on, which is a difficult time for him.
However, he has played this position many times, as early as elementary school, he used to play as a winger on the right side, and the forward position in the middle, or shadow striker, is slightly different from this position, although he does not need to cross the bottom, break speed and so on. But in other respects, the demands on him remain undiminished.
In a short period of time, the current AC Milan squad is like this, and these people, these people on the field, are constantly interspersed with running and matching to find the goal.
