Chapter 377: Long Passing Rushing ......??

readx;

Carlo Ancelotti is confident in this game. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Despite Chelsea's attacking prowess, the Italian also got a glimpse of the Blues' attacking style after watching many, many videos of Chelsea's games this season. He is confident that it will be difficult to break through AC Milan's defence with that kind of simple attack, so he feels very lucky against Chelsea.

It's not all hubris.

The Italian defence was solid, with tight coverage on both flanks and in the middle. The players are very defensive, and their pinching and coordination with each other can inhibit the attacking team's attacking area and tie the opponent's hands, and from this point of view, AC Milan is the top in Italy.

The team's four iron defenders, whether in experience or awareness, are not comparable to ordinary people, plus Gattuso and other midfield giants, Chelsea whether attacking from the middle or two wings, will inevitably be affected.

All of the above is for the average team, for the average player.

Ancelotti did not underestimate Wang Li, although he behaved very plainly in front of the media, but in fact it was not like this.

In this game, he used 3 backs, just to contain Wang Li!!

Gattuso, Pirlo, Seedorf, none of these three are easy to deal with, and before the game, Ancelotti had already told them to keep an eye on each other's No. 21.

Three strong backs are at the front end of the big penalty area line, and it is difficult, difficult for Wang Li to break through this blockade.

Among them, Pirlo is also a little different, he is better at organizing attacks, while Seedorf and Gattuso are definitely very difficult to deal with, I am afraid that every player who has played against AC Milan will remember these two names deeply.

To use an analogy, their style of play is not much different from that of Claude Makelle, and this is particularly evident in Gattuso.

Poor technique has always been synonymous with Gattuso, but it is the 'blue-collar worker' on the football field who dares to fight and run non-stop on the pitch for 90 minutes. And Gattuso has more of a kind of hard work than Makelele, Seedorf is more technical, decisive and ruthless, maybe he and Gattuso are different from that kind of perseverance to keep fighting.

All of this made Ancelotti feel that victory was firmly in his hands.

But...... When it came to Chelsea's starting line-up, the Italian suddenly had some foreboding.

Even though he is very confident in his coaching level, he still has to admit that the young Portuguese coach on the other side definitely has some level, but what does this starting lineup mean now!? Let the opponent's No. 21 brunette face the entire AC Milan backline by himself!? Or has the opponent given up the offense and gone all out to defend!?

You know, it's Chelsea's home stadium, unless they don't want to go to the last four, but is that possible!?

But at this point, even if it is uneasy, there is no time for the Italian to make adjustments to the team, and in fact, he does not know how to adjust.

He could only silently say to himself: It's okay, it's just the other party's smoke bomb.................. At this time, Stamford Bridge was packed, and the victory against Barcelona gave the Blues fans endless confidence, and they were full of enthusiasm for the team's Champions League competition, not to mention the opponent this time - the 'mini-World Cup' leaders AC Milan!

In the middle of last season, the Blues led by Lasser pinched and reached the last four of the Champions League in one fell swoop, and finally lost to Monaco, which made fans very unwilling, although this season's schedule is really a headache, but why can't Chelsea, who have created one miracle after another, beat Barcelona and AC Milan in a row?

Blues fans have always believed that Chelsea are now the best team in the world.

After beating Barcelona and then beating AC Milan, it will prove that to all the fans around the world, and the Blues fans are even more enthusiastic when they think about it.

However, Chelsea fans feel much more 'gentleman' than Arsenal and Manchester United fans, perhaps due to the class of the fans, who are more of a wealthy area of London next to Stamford Bridge, who will be mindful of their behaviour even in the atmosphere of the stadium.

But Blues fans are more disciplined and they are always organised to cheer the team on, such as singing the anthem together, organising together to buy big celebratory props, etc.

This time it was the same, before the game began, some fans had already begun to sing the Blues' anthem, and many fans in the East Stand even painted the Blues' badge on their faces, and tens of thousands of people together used strips of cloth of various colors to form a large team emblem icon covering half of the East Stand, this scene was very shocking in the eyes of AC Milan fans.

Only the fans know how hard it is to do that!

The AC Milan players have never seen this kind of cheering, generally speaking, the team emblem, team flag, or various patterns on the stadium stands are hung by the club, and now this kind of pattern specially organized by the fans themselves, composed of tens of thousands of colored cloth pieces, is really shocking.

It's more like a big show for the opening ceremony of an organized sports day.

The FA is most pleased with this situation. You know, England is rich in football hooligans, and the FA has cracked down hard on any possible violence on the pitch in order to improve the image of the Premier League in the eyes of fans around the world. However, Chelsea fans rarely have this problem, and FA officials who saw this scene even felt that more publicity should be given to Chelsea Football Club so that the image of the Premier League would be more positive.

On the court, under the leadership of the captains of the two teams, the starters of the two teams each led a child into the court.

Wang Li was holding a little boy, the child of his neighbor, Mr. Johansen.

When Johansen saw Wang Li in the small park a few days ago, he asked him to give his children the opportunity to walk into Stamford Bridge to feel the atmosphere of the game and gain some knowledge.

However, now the child is just over 7 years old, and in the irritable atmosphere of the scene, he is a little nervous, and his little hands are holding Wang Li tightly.

After walking into the court and standing in his position, Wang Li smiled and patted him lightly on the shoulder, and the little boy turned his head to look at Wang Li, and his eyes gradually became firm.

At this time, the stadium was filled with cheers from the Blues fans on all sides, and the feeling really lifted the spirits of the Chelsea players, and the loud sound that could even penetrate the eardrums directly made Wang Li feel better than he ever felt today.

Of course, this is the opposite of the AC Milan players.

The sounds sounded loud to them, squeezing them tightly around them, making them feel very restless.

However, AC Milan's players are all experienced veterans, and the effect of this move is really poor.

At this time, Stamford Bridge's 'Queen' commentator Creed. Peswack was also passionately introducing Chelsea's starting XI to the crowd, with each player's name garnering a tsunami of cheers from the Blues fans.

With cheers again and again, on the court, the players also stood up and prepared to kick off.

………… Mourinho's tactics for his team are to defend and counter-attack.

Chelsea has 5 midfielders in this lineup, only one single striker Wang Li, from the lineup, the team's attack is obviously much weaker, although the two starters on the wing are the main players, Robben and Duff are also very good at attacking, but under the influence of the formation, unless the central players press hard, otherwise even if the side is attacked, it is just a lone battle.

This style of play allowed AC Milan to gain possession advantage for a while.

At the beginning, AC Milan launched a wave of raids in possession of the ball, and the football passed between Seedorf, Pirlo and Kaka, directly behind Makelele, and finally a long-range shot was completed by Shepchenko, but the ball was really substandard, and Thomas, who started the game, picked it up with both hands, and the ball was held in his arms.

After Thomas tossed the ball to Frank Lampard, it was Chelsea's turn to attack.

The AC Milan players reacted quickly and most of the players started running back after Shepchenko's shot, and it looked like they were getting into the game.

Lampard passed the ball to Scott, who was afraid, and after Parker took the ball, he looked at the frontcourt, at this time, the AC Milan players did not press too far forward, so Parker did not pass the ball, and slowly led forward.

After crossing the halfway line, Kaka came up to grab the ball, and before that, Parker played the ball wide to Alkin on the wing. Robben.

Gattuso immediately came up to grab the ball, Robben glanced up slightly in the direction of AC Milan's penalty area, and drove directly to the penalty area with a big foot.

The ball left the opposing players a little confused, and after the ball reached the line of the penalty area, it was easily unloaded by Pirlo.

"Dutch kid made a mistake!! The pass stinks so much that it doesn't look like he's getting into game shape yet. Pesvak at the scene also shouted in frustration at the same time.

The pitch was changing in an instant, and while the Blues fans were still frustrated by the attack, AC Milan had already made their way into the heart of the box. After Pirlo received the ball, a through ball was handed to Crespo, the Argentine striker's skills were really outstanding, and he shook off Brigi directly with two very light smashes, and after entering the Chelsea half, a through ball of inspiration made the Blues break out in a cold sweat!!

AC Milan's attack was too fast this time, and the Chelsea players had not recovered from the attack just now, and the backfield did not have time to shrink the defensive line, which made Shepchenko directly counter offside and successfully formed a single knife!!

"God !!" Many fans unconsciously expressed their concern.

But right away, the thousands of players who came with AC Milan let out a loud sigh.

Facing young Thomas. Clark, the Ukrainian may have taken it lightly, his seemingly easy push into the far corner was weak, and Thomas made a rhythmic pounce to the right in the attack, and the ball went straight under him.

'The game has only just started and there is a danger in the Chelsea goal, so the players on the pitch must be careful!!'

"It seems that Carlo Ancelotti's words before the game are not all big words, AC Milan's attack just now is too dangerous."

'From the scene it looked like the Chelsea players weren't in the game yet, Robben's mistake gave AC Milan a chance, and the opposition found the opportunity to shoot on both occasions, so far Shepchenko has two shots, so the situation is not optimistic. During this time, Allen seems to have been staying in the front court, the opening 3 minutes, he has not touched the ball, today Mourinho is likely to be a tactical mistake, but it is too early to say, I hope Chelsea can perform a little better, if the home team is like this, then it will be more difficult to go to Milan City. ”

Although the commentators of various sports TV stations in England are worried about the situation at Chelsea, in fact, on the sidelines of the Chelsea dugout, Mourinho is crossed on his legs, chewing gum in his mouth, and he does not seem to be nervous at all, full of confidence in the game.

The scene of the on-site switch made the fans feel a lot more at ease.

On the pitch, the ball was passed several times at the Chelsea back, and Crespo and Kaka were seen coming up to grab the ball. John Terry won the ball and scrambled to pass to Frank Lampard in the middle line.

Frank Lampard was startled when he turned to see Shepchenko close at hand, and he quickly turned to hold on to the ball, looking to the sides for an opportunity to pass. Shepchenko saw that his surprise attack did not work, and he could only stick to Lampard's side.

Frank Lampard took two steps back and passed straight to Brigi, who ran up the pitch, who won and played to Darmion on the wing. Duff.

After Duff received the ball, he made a few more passes with Lampard and Parker, at this time, the ball had crossed the halfway line, and in another catch, Duff looked at the black-haired figure in the direction of the penalty area and directly chose a long pass.

However, as soon as the ball was picked up this time, Gattuso jumped up and blocked it with his body!!

"Beautiful!! Gattuso blocked the ball with his body, and I have to say that this Italian is a man, and his fighting spirit on the pitch is worth learning from many players!! ”

The ball went out of the touchline and Duff rushed to serve, but at this time AC Milan defended very tightly on the right side, watching the minutes and seconds pass, he could only wave the ball in the direction of Lampard, but the ball was pushed by Shepchenko to Gattuso, who in turn passed to Pirlo.

Pirlo won the ball and kicked it to Kaka in front.

In the summer of 2003, Kaka moved from Sao Paulo to AC Milan for a fee of 8.5 million euros, which is already very good for a 21-year-old Brazilian youngster.

At AC Milan, Kaka's impressive performances allowed him to squeeze out rival Rivaldo in a short period of time to win a place in the main team.

Kaka's pace has quickened the pace of AC Milan's attack, and he has gradually become the heart of AC Milan's attack. In last season's Serie A, Kaka scored 10 goals in 30 games to help AC Milan win the title. Due to his excellent performances, Kaka was named the best player and best foreign player in the league in his first season in Serie A.

Kaka's brilliance has excited the Italian media, who from time to time compare Kaka with Wangli, and even say that Kaka is better than Wangli, of course, only the radical AC Milan media think so.

However, Kaka's technical ability is unquestionable, and after receiving a pass from Andrea Pirlo, he showed the kind of dribbling ability that Brazilian players are particularly good at.

On the right side, Kaka, who was dribbling the ball, sprinted at a very high speed, and he shook Robben, Bridget, Paul in succession. After Ferreira, cut inside the halfway line, and the Blues fans in the stadium exclaimed, because at this time, Crespo was already unguarded in the middle!!

As long as Kaka can pass the ball, or even choose to shoot from a distance, he has a chance to score.

But the next moment, the rude French big man Makelele directly cut off this wonderful football art ......., and he directly knocked Kaka to the ground.

"Beep......" The referee did not hesitate to show a yellow card to Makellele.

A free kick by AC Milan.

The penalty was Pirlo, under the eyes of the fans, he did not look for the high point in the penalty area, but drove a low flat ball, just when everyone was puzzled, the veteran Maldini who was ambushed on the periphery fired a right-footed half-volley from 12 meters in front of the goal, hitting a bounce of the ball, Thomas had no choice but to watch the football go into the net.

AC Milan leads 1-0!!

"In the opening 6 minutes and 17 seconds, a tactical free kick from AC Milan was combined and scored by captain Makelele!!"

After being scored first by AC Milan, the fans at the scene were a little dazed, in the first few minutes, Chelsea's performance was really confusing, this is completely different from the previous Chelsea, and Wang Li can hardly be found in the whole field!!

It could even be said that Chelsea's attack did not last half time!!

What happened to Chelsea today!?

Players from both sides took their positions and Chelsea kicked off in the middle.

Wang Li knocked the ball to Frank Lampard with his heel and rushed towards the AC Milan penalty area, Lampard did not rush to attack after winning the ball, but made a few kicks with the players at the back, and then Ferreira passed to Robben on the wing, who broke through with the ball to announce the start of the attack.

After an easy break through Andrea Pirlo, Robben pushed the ball past Frank Lampard, who cut in in the middle.

Frank Lampard and Scott. Parker made a one-two, and didn't hesitate to get up and hoist the cross!!

In fact, from the beginning of the game, Chelsea shrank into the half, and Wang Li never touched the ball at all, which made the strong defender feel that the manager was making a big fuss, and the black-haired kid next to him was not a big threat.

Therefore, his defense is not tight, he just follows Wang Li's side.

Seeing the ball flying over, Stam didn't pay much attention, he just stuck the position with his body, ready to clear with a header.

But just when he was about to jump up to the top ball, he suddenly found a blue figure in front of him, and in a trance, he could only see the big white characters - '21'!!

Wang Li jumped up, lightly used his head to point the ball, and as soon as his chest was padd, the ball fell directly on the grass, and then, while the Italian man behind him did not react, he immediately turned around and volleyed!!

The football flew past Stam and rushed towards the AC Milan goal like a cannonball, and goalkeeper Dida couldn't react at all!!

"Ball in......" Creed reacted and was about to announce the goal loudly.

But the football flew out of the bottom line by grazing the goalpost, making all the AC Milan players break out in a cold sweat, and they finally knew that they must not underestimate this No. 21 black-haired boy, a demon who can score 49 goals in 31 rounds of league games, no one will believe it if there are no two brushes!

"Long Passing Rushing ......???"

At this point, after a few minutes of play, Carlo Ancelotti on the sidelines finally got a glimpse of Chelsea's style of play, but he was still surprised by the result.
