vs 469 Moment of Killing
On September 17, when Tottenham's away challenge to Milan started, standing on the San Siro stadium, Li Bin couldn't help but sigh that this time he revisited his hometown and returned to Italy, which really made him see too many problems in Serie A now. Looking at such Serie A, he is also very glad that he has left early and no longer cares about things here.
The current Serie A, because of the lack of money, has begun to decline, except for Juventus and Inter Milan, the two rich people, there is still money to go out, the other teams, basically all of them have stopped paying. Serie A's wrong business philosophy, so that they even when they have the most strength, they have not been able to open the market, under the impact of the economic crisis, they have suffered the most, there is no money, there is no way to bring in reinforcements, now the Serie A players represented by Milan have begun to get older day by day, day by day worse, although Li Bin is here, Serie A is still third, and even briefly to the second league, but now, they are not slower than Li Bin remembers, Although it is unlikely that the Bundesliga will catch up this season, it will be difficult to say next season.
Moreover, the most frustrating time, even such Milan, still wants to play beautiful offensive football.
Milan's backline for this game did not have many surprises, but their midfield used Ambrosini and Andrea Pirlo as a double midfielder, and in front of them, Seedorf was placed as a striker. Further up front, with Borriello in the middle, Ronaldo on the left and David Beckham on the right, they formed a formation similar to the one that moved between 433 and 451.
The establishment of this formation made Li Bin cry and laugh: only Ambrosini and Pirlo were used to start, and Gattuso was not allowed to come up, wouldn't this kind of play wait for others to blow up their backfield? And, up front, put Ronaldo, Beckham, and Seedorf – these guys may be okay with the ball, but which one of them has enough ability to impact Tottenham's defence? What's the point of having good passing control without impact? Isn't that all ineffective possession?
On the football field, sometimes it does take the experience of a veteran. However, the veterans also have an unavoidable problem, that is, their physical fitness must have declined and they cannot form an impact. They can make good passes, but only if their team-mates can attack the opposition's backline and tear a big enough hole in the opposition's backline. However, if a group of people are already very old and have no impact power, then no matter how well they are controlled, they will not be able to break through the opponent's defenses. This principle is common to everyone, even if it is as strong as Barcelona, Messi is also an indispensable link, without Messi, they can still control the field, but they can't win, because Messi's ability to tear up the defense line was the first at the time, which was what Barcelona lacked.
And now Milan, there is no Messi. Tottenham on this side, the 26-year-old Yaya Toure is already a veteran in the lineup, their overall age is not too old, and they can rely on good running to maintain the scene, and in Milan, Borriello, who is one year older than Yaya Toure, can be regarded as their youngsters, and is the most impactful one among them.
Li Bin understands that he is Brazilian and understands his pursuit of offensive football, but is it really wise to come so nonsense?
However, Li Bin also knew that he had no choice. Now Gattuso doesn't seem to have a contract extension, so he doesn't dare to use Gattuso as a starter. Balotelli seems to have recently been injured again - although he is considered the best young player in Serie A and the world, his professionalism has always been questionable, and although he has a semi-main position in Milan, he has not been too high. After Ancelotti left, Leonardo couldn't control him, and he was about to go to the road of waste.
And after losing them, Leonardo will be able to use these people: he has never been a tactically qualified coach, as a manager, his advantage is to deal with interpersonal relationships, can do a good job of recruitment, and is also a very charismatic person, as for tactics, he is sent to Li Bin as a toy.
People always say that Inter Milan is a black hole of stars, but in fact, there are a lot of discarded stars, especially young people, and no one has been in Milan for many years. Their concept is bigger than Inter Milan, and because of this, Inter Milan replaced Pellegrini, he was able to promote Bonucci and others, so that Inter Milan no longer became a player's rental bank, but on the Milan side, it is the same for everyone, and it is difficult to recover the decline.
They had just lost to Inter Milan by four goals, and Li Bin didn't demand that much from his players, and for him, a three-goal beat, that's what he was expecting.
"Tottenham's game is a rare 4141 formation. Probably because of the need to play continuously, Tottenham chose to rotate. They used Raul up front, behind Raul, behind Ramsey, Yaya Toure, Bale and Di Maria, Gustavo dragged back to defend, and at the back, Li Bin replaced Piszczek and used Walker as the starter, which was also a relatively rare substitution. But no matter how the substitution is made, Li Bin's arrangement is very surprising. The formation he arranged is very different from the double back and even the three back midfielders he insisted on before, such a single back is better to release Tottenham's attacking power, and people say that Li Bin wants to take revenge on Milan Rumors, this is very credible......
Li Bin's tactics are indeed rare and bold, and he rarely uses a single midfielder, which he himself admits. However, this kind of tactic is no better for playing Milan, the current Milan is a group of old bones, they can't withstand the impact, can't stand the impact, and it is the best to deal with them with full pressure.
And, then, the San Siro, it's good for the players to develop a confrontational mentality. Li Bin found that although he repeatedly emphasized before the game that Tottenham's strength has surpassed Milan a lot, when it comes to the field, the players are still a little restrained when facing Milan. Too many Tottenham players are playing in the Champions League for the first time, and even some of them are playing official matches abroad for the first time, and their serious lack of experience makes them a little shrunken and not play very well when facing Milan.
Tottenham have never played in the Champions League, and in their hearts, they are still a little afraid of the Champions League situation. And the first game was to play Milan, which intensified their fear and made them dare not let go of their hands and feet. In such a situation, Li Bin has certain ideas, and he is not in a hurry. After 20 minutes, Tottenham did not achieve any effective attack, but as Milan has not been able to play any good games, Tottenham's players have also begun to realize that their opponents are not enough, which makes them also begin to let go.
After getting the ball again, Di Maria grabbed Jankulovski and didn't choose to pass the ball immediately. He took two steps to the middle with the ball, looked at his teammates, and wondered how to attack.
Before the game, the name Milan was still a bit unattainable for him, this is the best team in the Champions League since the 90s, their strength, their experience, their level, are all very attractive to Di Maria. However, in the game, he found that although he was very famous, the Milan players couldn't press it out, they couldn't grab it, and the Tottenham players got the ball, and they could only fully defend themselves.
"Milan is not the Milan of the past, any team with an average age of 30 or more, it is difficult to stand firm under constant onslaught, not to mention that they have a coach who has a bad brain. As long as we identify that, we can break down their backline. Hit hard, don't stop attacking, that's what you have to do. ”
Li Bin's instructions to Di Maria were remembered by him at this time. Originally, he didn't quite agree with Li Bin's statement that the main force over the age of 30 has no impact and no confrontation, but now Di Maria has to admit that Milan doesn't even have a person who can press the ball player, which is fundamentally different from the Champions League super team he imagined, in a sense, their defense is even the worst Di Maria has seen this season.
What is there to hesitate in the face of them?
He cut inside with the ball, and Jankulovski and Seedorf in midfield tried to stop him, but he didn't even change direction, just accelerated with his feet and left both of those who tried to stop him. The advantage of age gives him too much advantage in explosiveness, and Seedorf didn't have time to react to this impact, and although Yankulovsky stretched out his foot in time to tackle him, he was thrown away by his accelerated pace and couldn't reach it at all.
In front of him, Ambrosini has come closer, but unfortunately, because Milan's football is open enough, on their backfield, no matter how they move at this time, it is difficult to plug all the loopholes of these slow players. Di Maria made a diagonal pass to Raul, who ran behind Ambrosini, and when Ambrosini turned around and wanted to finish a pinch with Lucio, Raul had already picked up the ball and picked it up to the left wing.
Over there, Bell had already rushed up. Relying on Raul to attract opponents, his direct entry into the penalty area was not hindered at all, and at this time, he had already controlled the football in the penalty area. After getting the ball, Bale adjusted a step at a small angle, and then kicked the ball out of the way with a short and powerful sweep.
He's been practising shooting for a long time, and it's his favourite way of shooting. This blow was enough to catch the opponent's goalkeeper off guard, lying on the ground, unable to hold the ball.
“gooooal!!!! Gareth Bell! The first goal of his career, against Milan! Like Tottenham, his future is bright! ”
Bell ran to the audience, making a heart gesture in his hand to show his loyalty. On the sidelines of the court, Li Bin also applauded and watched this scene.
It's a great thing. Tottenham scored the goal and now, they are no longer the Champions League brothers, and Milan's blood has done the baptism for them.
Well, it's time for slaughter!
