Ramos' introduction turned the stalemate around, he was proactive, aggressive, more pressing, more aggressive, a "hot head" up in his own words, and a series of completely rational choices that led to the half-time lead.

However, Ranieri was quick to respond, and after 15 minutes of the break, the tinkerer replaced Corradi with Aimar, and there was no doubt that the Argentine's introduction could add an attacking point, and Vicente, Aimar and Di Vaio all had excellent individual fighting ability in the counter-attack, and Ranieri's substitution meant sharpening Valencia's knife up front.

But the Italian didn't give up on the solid defense either, and he was right because AC Milan's attack became more decisive!

On the football field, it is often said that when you attack, you can defend best.

And the jaw-dropping goals that cut off the opponent's time in exchange for space in various defensive counter-attack systems have also made more people see the potential opportunities contained in defense.

Thus, examples from both sides prove that offense and defense are a pair of seemingly contradictory interdependents. The so-called offensive and defensive balance is not a numerical value in the data, but an estimate of the efficiency value, at least that's how Jiang Qi evaluated.

Therefore, in the locker room in the midfield, Jiang Qi has only one request, "Play more efficiently!" ”

After Ramos came on the field, the biggest change in the whole team was that the wings were finally balanced, and the Spanish boys were very capable up and down, and because of this, AC Milan's wings were pressed and interspersed more, and the space behind Vicente was the space for Ramos to gallop boldly.

After the attack became decisive, Valencia's defensive pressure suddenly increased, which made Vicente, and even Aimar, have to retreat to their own midline to help the defense more often, so that the pressure on AC Milan at the back has plummeted. However, the sharp counterattacks did not completely silence the traces, especially the broken ball counterattacks outside the hinterland of the Bat Legion, the speed of conversion was very fast, and the situation of equal number of attackers and defenders also appeared repeatedly.

However, the Milan players were desperate defensively, and Gattuso was full of power, running non-stop to build a barrier at the back of Milan, always able to contain the first point of Valencia's counter-attack.

In the 51st minute, Lahm took advantage of Van der Vaart's containment and quickly won the ball from the left flank and crossed, Toney grabbed the ball in front of him and gently rubbed it back......

In the 55th minute, after Gattuso tackled Vicente, Ramos received the ball and moved to the left, and Van der Vaart cut inside and suddenly hit the goal......

In the 63rd minute, Pirlo picked up a cross over the top, and Inzaghi stepped out of the back bush......

…… Milan had five dangerous shots on goal throughout the second half, with Canizares standing out, saving left and right to keep the score above '0'.

The score was finally fixed at 1:0, just like the UEFA Super Cup a year ago, with a narrow one-goal victory over the opponent, but AC Milan in the second half obviously satisfied Jiang Qi a lot, and sat comfortably on the sidelines for 45 minutes.

If there was anything to regret in this game, it was that Villa's substitute Inzaghi came on in the 66th minute of the second half and tried two shots on goal but did not score. After all, after failing to score in his last start, the Spanish striker will also want to receive his new team goals as soon as possible, but there is no doubt that this point in time will continue to be pushed back.

After the game, the major media reports in European football focused differently and had different opinions.

"Milan Sport" used the phrase "steady start" to describe AC Milan's first game in Europe, and at the same time, there was no shortage of praise for Ranieri's Bat Army, "Italy's defensive system combined with Latin's light and swift style of play, and the different defensive counter-attacking tactics are amazing".

"Kicker" looks at this UEFA Super Cup game from a mental level, "AC Milan has been more neat this season, especially the midfield has been perfected, but it cannot be denied that now this Italian team has become more mature at the same time, it has also lost a sharpness, which was especially evident in the two-legged decisive match between AC Milan and Bayern Munich in the UEFA Champions League last season...... However, Jiang still has a pair of discerning eyes, and the Spanish full-back he selected activated Milan's vitality and energy in the game, becoming a key man! ”

At the same time, the Spanish media's praise for Ramos can be described as a car bucket, whether it is the pro-Real Madrid "As" and "Marca", or the Barcelona mouthpiece "World Sports", all praise the Spanish star, the meaning behind it is intriguing, after all, Iberia is Ramos's home, if one day the wanderer returns home, such an offensive and defensive fullback is definitely the object of competition for many clubs, especially Real Madrid and Barcelona.

As for Villa, who was once a prolific goalscorer in La Liga, he was once again looked down upon by many media.

Combined with the three games in the Los Angeles Invitational, Villa has not scored so far, whether it is a starter or a substitute......

For a new striker, the words "goal drought" are very scary, and the pressure and psychological interference it represents will undoubtedly make the player more sad, especially in a team like AC Milan, as a "substitute" for Shevchenko, the media bombardment is enough to overwhelm the player......

"If AC Milan have a weakness, they have lost Shevchenko, one of their most powerful weapons this season, but they have not found a suitable replacement, not even a 'poor man's version'...... At least for now, it looks like only one or two jambs are worth a little bit of a taste. This is a passage from "The Kicker".

As for the British sports newspaper, they did not hesitate to send the proposition of "ruining honor for money", and at the same time, the words are full of Shevchenko's self-satisfaction in transferring to the Premier League, because compared with Villa, Sheva was in hot form in Chelsea's warm-up game before the season, and the first round of the league is full of expectations.

Of course, the most straightforward ridicule of these newspapers is still Lao Chiang's old enemy "Roma Sport", and Mr. Moreno once again predicted that "Villa will continue to follow the trajectory of José Mari, Moreno and others, and become another Spanish striker who sacrificed at the San Siro......"

In this regard, Jiang Qi and Villa's response was only two words, "silence".

The rookie coach naturally understands that it is enough to turn a deaf ear to the media, as for Villa, he only gives trust, he believes that this later generation of players who were called "gourd baby" by the Celestial Empire players can carry this "newcomer pass"......
