"After half the game, I found that Udinese was not much easier to deal with than Juventus......"

"Juventus have to attack when they face us, and Udinese don't necessarily have to attack when they face us, and this nuance alone is enough to give us a headache......

"So, if we want to break through the Udinese defence, we only have two things to do, one is to repeatedly hit a certain point, just like when we play Deportivo La Coruna, the players will have limits, both physically and mentally, this is a way, and the other is to find a way to make the Udinese players have superfluous ideas and draw them out of the defensive position......"

In the locker room at halftime, Jiang Qi said.

As a result, the offensive thinking in the second half was very clear.

Choosing the breakthrough point on the Udinese defensive line, Jiang Qi circled the Argentine veteran Sencini after soliciting the impressions and experiences of the players on the field, because after Toney's round of impact in the first half, the physical fitness of the old Udinese central defender should be consumed a lot, so the first landing point of all set-pieces in the second half is undoubtedly looking for Toney.

As for wanting to lure one of Udinese's wide players out to attack, that option will undoubtedly be Jankulovski.

Janku's ability to assist on the left flank is second to none in the whole of Serie A, the Czech's fitness is good, he can support him to open the entire left channel and turn up and down quickly, and a good sense of assists can also allow him to react quickly to gaps on the wing, so this idea of "luring out" the attack can also be regarded as a gambling attempt.

Udinese lined up in a 3-4-3 formation in this game, with the central defenders being the trio of Kroldrup, Sencini and Betoto, Jankulovski on the left of the midfield, Castroman in his youth on the right, Greek Karagunis on loan from Inter Milan on the left, and defensive midfielder Pizarro on the right. Up front is Iaquinta, Jorgensen on the left and Normvet on the right.

AC Milan rotated for the Champions League in midweek.

The goalkeeper has not changed, and it is still Dida who has re-started continuously through consistent performances.

The central defender is a combination of Lucio and Mex, after more than half a season, the Frenchman has been able to stabilize and become a reassuring central defender, and Lucio can also integrate well into Italy's defensive system and choose the right defensive position.

Left-back Karadze, right-back Lahm needless to say.

Midfielder Ambrosini and Van der Vaart on the left have been in excellent form recently, getting back-to-back starts, and Van Persie on the right to rotate Ljungberg for the midweek Swede to return to Highbury, with Kaka up front.

Toney's partner Inzaghi in the front line is still the same old configuration this season.

If you want Jankulovski to attack, then the formation will have to be adjusted to a certain extent. Jiang Qi thought about letting Van Persie choose more inward after getting the ball in the second half, to move closer to the middle, on the one hand, to leave space for Lahm, on the other hand, he can also use the numerical advantage in the middle to make more trouble, Van Persie can not only take the ball to instigate the offensive, but also step forward to the front line to become an offensive finisher, and after coming to the middle, it will increase the pressure on the Udinese defense.

At the same time, Lao Jiang told Lahm that once he chooses to assist, he must be more resolute, of course, after Ram assists, the gap behind him will be taken care of by Ambrosini, in case Janku really penetrates the wing of his own team.

Sure enough, after AC Milan adjusted the formation, Udinese's attack and defense were a little disjointed, Van Persie's frequent activities in the middle doubled the pressure on Pizarro and Karagunis, and the Greek, who was originally a midfield tandem, had to retreat a little bit, and it became Jorgensen who replaced him to maintain the midfield connection, which was also a passive adjustment of Udinese.

But because of this, Udinese's entire left flank became empty, especially when Rahm seemed to be unable to hold back his youthful spirit and pressed frequently, and Jankulovski also saw an opportunity.

The offense and defense on the football field need to be regarded as a whole, without offense to share the pressure of defense, then a long time will collapse, just like a dam to prevent floods, if there is no other way to discharge floods, even if the dam is strong, it will eventually collapse in the face of repeated floods.

What's more, long-term passive defense is a great test for the psychology of players......

It can be said that looking at the whole game now, Jankulovski is the only way for Udinese to have a chance to pour defensive pressure.

So, when Van Persie cut inside with the ball again, cruising around the top of the arc, and Lahm quietly pressed up again, Jankulovski began to consciously press forward while waiting for his teammates to create opportunities for him!

David Pizarro inadvertently seemed to switch positions with Karagunis, deliberately blocking the Dutchman's way to the middle of the pitch and then stealing it when the Dutchman pulled the ball and turned!

Along with him was the Dane Kroldrup, the two defenders had already planned, this time the top pick was just the moment to observe Van Persie's weakest control of the ball, Pizarro stuck to him from the side, and Kroldrup kicked quickly, very simply cut off the ball, and then stuffed it to the left, Yanku had already understood that he would speed up and run out.

Ram, the little Zhengtai, was stunned for a second, and then turned around and chased after him. Udinese's formation also began to press forward slightly due to the change of possession, and it looked like a spring that had been squeezed and slowly relaxed. However, probably no one noticed that Van Persie had quietly returned to the wing at this point, and was still in the home team's half.

Jankulovski's quick combination of balls and early start threw Rahm almost two positions away and sprinted all the way to within the 30-metre zone, but Ambrosini was already in a defensive position and blocked the Czechs' path from the outside, and if Janku chose to cut inside, Amb would be able to slow the Czechs down with his nearest speed.

There is an interception in front, and there is a chasing soldier in the back!

The Czech did not panic, but suddenly changed sharply to the middle, thinking that Janku has scored more than five goals every season, Ambrosini immediately reacted, "This guy is ready to shoot from a distance!" ”

All Milan's vice-captain could do was to slide his body out and block the angle of Janku's shot as much as possible, but he was still flashed out of space by the Czech's drastic change of direction, and he calmly got up!

Just as the ball began to accelerate after a strong friction with his boot, someone blocked the path of the ball with his body, and the ball hit the defender's thigh with most of the force, and his posture changed from an arrow against the turf to a parabolic arc after hitting the obstacle......

That defender is none other than AC Milan's young centre-back Mex!

Lucio scrambled to get the ball first, and then barely looked up to get a long ball, which was headed in the space left by Janku's assist, where Van Persie was waiting!

Between the lightning and flint, the offense and defense have changed hands!
