16: Air Raids? No, oh, really! (Today's second update!) )
In the 57th minute of the second half, Bayern's boss Heathfield made a substitution, and the Brazilian striker Elber, who was not very fit, was replaced by Paraguayan teenager Santa Cruz.
Bayern's substitution also made the AC Milan players mistakenly think that Bayern could not open the situation in the positional battle, so they had to replace the high-tech striker to attack.
Therefore, the two wings of AC Mulan also paid special attention to the crosses of Salihamidzic and Schweinsteiger. The pace of the game between the two teams today was not very fast, and everyone slowed down to compete in tactics and brains.
AC Milan's reaction was indeed quick, with Piggy Schweinsteiger on the left and Salihamidzic on the right also being pressured by AC Milan's regional man-to-man defense and unable to move forward......
"Bayern have stepped up their attack now, but AC Milan's front is solid, who will stand up and break the deadlock for Bayern?" Derek, the commentator of the German satellite TV station, also said.
……
On the pitch, shortly after Santa Cruz came on the field, he received a pass from Leon, this tall "center forward" has no intention of running into the penalty area at all, he is like a beacon standing outside the penalty area to light the line of Bayern's attack......
At the beginning, Gattuso, the midfielder, was ready to go up and grab the ball at the feet of Santa Cruz, after all, tall players are generally not too fast, but after grabbing once, Gattuso knew that he was wrong.
I saw Santa Cruz protecting the ball with his back, and the moment Gattuso grabbed it, Santa Cruz suddenly turned around and got rid of it with a dexterous turn, and directly left Gattuso behind his head!
Tall and skilled! This guy isn't a striker, AC Milan stars! Leon smiled and glanced at Hargreaves, who nodded and began to retreat, while Leon began to step forward.
After passing Gattuso, Santa Cruz also looked left and right looking for the receiving point, and then Leon's insertion made Santa Cruz choose to give the ball back to him, and Gattuso, who had just been shaken off by Santa Cruz, also made up for Leon......
León smiled at the midfield butcher and then picked the ball up to Santa Cruz, who had already stepped forward!
Roque Santa Cruz stopped the ball with his chest outside the AC Milan penalty area, and AC Milan's central defender Nesta did not dare to slack off and stepped forward to mark, when Santa Cruz suddenly sent a straight ball with great imagination!
Peruvian striker Pizarro had been waiting in the box for a long time, and he grabbed the ball between Maldini and immediately fired a cold shot!
Hmm! AC Milan's backline was shocked into a cold sweat, but Dida showed his octopus quality this time around, opening his long arms to keep the ball out of the line.
At the Olympic Stadium in Munich, Bayern fans also applauded Bayern's attack, which is simply a La Liga team's attack!
When did the Germans start to play ground coordination without playing air raids? AC Milan players now know that Santa Cruz is not replaced by Bayern for headers, and he is over 1.9 meters tall and has excellent foot skills!
Bayern were given a corner in front of the club, with centre-backs Rink and Robert Kovac also rushing into the AC Milan penalty area to get involved.
AC Milan's backline also sounded an air raid siren, Link, Robert Kovac and Santa Cruz are all tall, Pizarro is very strong, and the bounce is very good, so AC Milan is also on guard......
Leon came to take the corner, and his two free-kick opportunities in the first half made AC Milan suffer enough, especially the direct goal with the second kick, which made Dida even more disgraced......
Now for Leon's corners and set-pieces, AC Milan dare not be careless.
'It's a rare opportunity to score from a set-piece in this stalemate. Narrator Derek said.
Leon looked up for a moment, and then he chose to drive the corner to the front point! The tall centre-back Link grabbed the first point, but unfortunately he lifted the ball a little higher......
AC Milan is in danger!
"It looks like Bayern still has the upper hand in the air!" Derek also analyzed.
……
On the pitch, the game was getting more and more close, AC Milan threatened Bayern's backline with counter-attacks, and thirty minutes into the second half, Bayern had already received three yellow cards.
They used tactical fouls and offsides to try to stop AC Milan from counter-attacking as much as possible, and Bayern pressed back after AC Milan equalised.
In this kind of top team encounter, it is difficult to have an anti-away dominance, unless Bayern actively chooses to retreat and counterattack like in the first half, otherwise in general, the away team is more stable.
Italian football is rarely played in a very unrestrained manner, they are tactical and like to use their brains to win.
Therefore, Bayern must be calmer than AC Milan, Leon has been looking for opportunities, and his continuous insertion has also put a lot of pressure on AC Milan's defense, especially now that Santa Cruz has pulled back to answer his insertion, so he and Santa Cruz can often join forces to open the defense of AC Milan's midfield.
Gattuso is not a god either, and his consciousness at this time has not yet reached the peak of the '06 World Cup, and it is difficult for the somewhat frizzy Gattuso to watch Leon and Santa Cruz alone.
Not to mention Pirlo, defense is not his forte, he is a player who plays with his brain, does not take the initiative to grab, but chooses to get stuck ...... So in front of the agile Bayern South American frontcourt combination, Pirlo is also a little passive.
In the 33rd minute of the second half, Bayern won another set-piece in front, and it was a Santa Cruz breakthrough that caused a foul on Pirlo.
The AC Milan players protested because they thought Santa Cruz was too fake, but the referee dismissed their protests.
After all, this is Bayern's home stadium! It's normal for the referee to be disturbed by the fans and give one or two home whistles.
In fact, the reason why the AC Milan players protested was because of the high quality of Leon's set-pieces!
In this stalemate, what if Leonwill scores another free-kick?
The goal was almost exactly the same as Leon's goal in the first half, and the Bayern fans at the scene once again cooperated with Leon to make the sound of the air defense mirror......
Only this time, after the lessons learned last time, the AC Milan players lined up a little higher, and Nesta and Maldini both went up to line the human wall.
Shevchenko also came back to stand in the middle of the human wall, and Dida stood much further back......
"Are you so afraid that I'll hit the door directly?" The corners of Leon's mouth rose slightly, and he took a look at the situation in the box, and it seemed that the AC Milan players didn't think Santa Cruz was very good at heading the ball.
Well, yes, after all, Santa Cruz hasn't had a header since the second half, maybe the AC Milan players think that Roque is a player with excellent skills at his feet, but with a normal header! Is Cafu keeping an eye on Santa Cruz?
While Leon was observing the situation, the referee also blew the whistle.
One step, two steps, three steps! Just when everyone thought that Leon would attack the goal directly like in the first half, at the moment when the human wall of the Milan platoon jumped with all its might, Leon kicked the ball and drew a wonderful Leon-style arc!
It's a pass!
Air raid? This time it was a real air raid!
Santa Cruz has been paying attention to Leon's passing, the brace in the last Bundesliga has allowed Santa Cruz to accumulate a lot of confidence, Dida is in the back, this ball Leon penalty position makes him very uncomfortable, if he stands in front, he can choose to attack, but he stands in the back, if the shot can't reach the ball then he is equivalent to the goal behind him!
Dida was hesitating, and just as he was hesitating, the ball had already reached the heart of AC Milan, and this curling cross was so beautiful!
The ball almost hit Santa Cruz's head!
Roque Santa Cruz, the Paraguayan phenom leaps high and then flicks his head at goal! He pressed against Cafu, the captain of the Brazilian national team! Oh my God, Cafu's jump height is more than a dozen centimeters shorter than him!
At this moment, Santa Cruz is quite a forbidden area air tyrant!
Dida couldn't react in time, and Santa Cruz's header bounced off the ground and went into the net!
Two to one! Bayern took the lead again with ten minutes to go, and this time, from set-pieces! Leonville's cross, Santa Cruz domineering header strike!
The connection between Bayern's two handsome guys!
In a game that seemed a little conservative and too consistent for both sides, Leonville's two set-pieces almost decided the game!
Once it was a direct goal, once he made a perfect cross!
After the goal, Santa Cruz enjoyed the cheers of the fans while running to Leonwill, and the two handsome South American guys hugged each other tightly at this moment!
On the sidelines, Bayern coach Heathfield also raised his arms and shouted! It's too crucial, it's a really crucial goal.
The AC Milan backline may have regretted why they didn't let one of Nesta or Maldini mark Santa Cruz, they only saw the skill of Santa Cruz's feet, but forgot the power of the tall and handsome man's header!
"Wonderful! It's so exciting! That's the value of Mr. Forty Million Pounds Leonville! Not only does he have excellent playmaking skills, but he also has an excellent set-piece kung fu! In the case that the team could not open the situation, it was Leon Will who decided the game! Derek, the commentator of the German satellite TV station, said excitedly.
Now, the parallel label on Leon's head should be completely torn off, oh no, you have to wait for the reporter of the "Munich Sports Newspaper" Lambert to tear it himself!
After Bayern scored the goal, León celebrated with his teammates and then looked for opportunities to bring his teammates together: "AC Milan will attack next, they will not be so willing to accept defeat, we have to control the ball at our feet as much as possible, and if we can't get the ball, we will kick it forward...... Anyway, it's time to test our defence. ”
Now his teammates are also obedient to Leon's words, who told this kid to guess so accurately every time?
After Bayern took the lead again, AC Milan's counterattack looked a little anxious, and they couldn't help but be in a hurry. At this time, Pirlo was a little immature, Rui Costa was also a little difficult under the defense of Hargreaves and Leon, Shevchenko and Inzaghi continued to threaten the Bayern backline, however, the Bayern players who had made up their minds were always able to defuse AC Milan's attack at the last minute.
Leonwill is constantly cheering his teammates with applause, and now is not the time to compare brains and tactics, or to compare willpower......
The Bundesliga showed his amazing energy, and in front of the powerful AC Milan, Bayern defended the final moment, and Leon's wonderful performance today was not in vain!
"Congratulations to Bayern Munich, who won their first European game of the season by beating the mighty AC Milan at home, and the best player of the game was definitely Bayern's No.25 Leonwill, with a direct free-kick and a free-kick assist. The Milanese will surely be annoyed that they underestimated Leonwell, the 19-year-old Argentine golden boy who is driving the Bundesliga chariot of Bayern Munich! ”
As soon as the game ended, Leon also received collective applause from Bayern fans, and the 40 million pounds was really worth it......
Great midfielder, great playmaker, great set-piece! Well, well, it's definitely a good deal!
