Chapter 337: Is the Dream Going to Break?

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the game started on time!

Milan, with the advantage of home and strength, pounced ferociously on Livorno's half from the beginning. For a time, the red and black waves rolled!

Milan have been strong this season, winning 22 in a row. Serie A teams all want to be the terminator of Milan's winning streak. From the very beginning of the game, Livorno put on the defensive, erecting a strong wall in front of the penalty area. Neither Milan's short pass penetration nor a long-range shot from outside the box could shake their determination to persevere, and Milan could only return again and again in vain.

As time went on, the Milan players became more and more anxious, and passing errors gradually increased. Livorno learned the lesson of Parma, and even when attacking, he did not commit many troops. Once they switched from attacking to defending, they quickly regained their way to the front of their penalty area, forming walls to guard their goals.

Livorno's goal is surrounded by two of the strongest walls, one made up of midfielders and the other by defenders. In the 29th minute of the first half, Kaka combined with Pirlo to penetrate the first wall. Kaka crosses diagonally, expecting Ronnie to cooperate with him and pierce Livorno's second wall.

The Livorno centre-back burst out from behind Ronny and cut off the ball early!

Thirty-five minutes into the first half, Kaka made a diagonal pass in front of the penalty area, and the ball drilled into the Livorno penalty area. Ronnie struggled into the Livorno penalty area and fired under pressure from the opposition defender, but his shot was saved by the goalkeeper.

In the 42nd minute of the first half, Kaka fired a long-range shot from outside the box. The cannonball-like soccer ball only whistled five meters before bouncing back.

Livorno's walls are still strong, and Milan will struggle to break down the opposing goal!

Ancelotti, who was standing in the command area, shook his head helplessly, his plan seemed to be in vain.

Livorno's tenacious defence paid off as the first half ended 0-0.

In the pre-match meeting, Carlo Ancelotti asked his players to score early in the first half and try to score more. His purpose is very obvious, which is to determine the advantage of the score early. Then easily win the game.

In that case. You can replace some of the main players in advance, and the main players will have more time to rest. In that case, they can play in the next Serie A game.

However, Livorno used a stubborn will, as well as appropriate tactics. Let his wishful thinking fail. At halftime. Carlo Ancelotti told his players. In the second half, you have to slow down the pace and at the same time slow down your mentality. Be confident that you will be able to break through the opponent's goal.

……

The second half started with Milan slowing down the tempo. Livorno was unmoved. still according to the tactics of the first half, cowering in front of his own penalty area. There was a huge boo from the Milan fans, who were laughing at Livorno, and some even drew a turtle to mock the opponent's unenterprising tactics.

However, the Livorno players seemed to have their ears in the dressing room, and there were no boos in their heads, only the manager's tactical arrangements.

The boos did not dampen the mentality of the Livorno players, who were determined to follow the manager's tactical plan.

So far this season, no team has been able to stop Milan from scoring in the first half. However, today Livorno did it. So they believe that this tactic is successful. Since it is successful, then what should be changed? Moreover, the boos of the opposing fans just show that this tactic is successful.

To fight against Milan at the San Siro is to seek death. Livorno didn't want to die, they just wanted to be the finisher of Milan's winning streak.

In the twelfth minute of the second half, Milan had the first best chance of the game. Cafu assisted up front and passed the ball into the Livorno box, where goalkeeper Amelia punched the ball out of the box. Kaka from outside the penalty area shoots at the ball!

There were too many people in the penalty area, and the football still did not penetrate the crowd and hit the Livorno players hard. There was chaos in the penalty area, and countless feet wanted to kick the football, and after several rotations, the football fell to Inzaghi's feet at the most.

"God is on me!" Inzaghi shouted happily in his heart, so he raised his foot and shot!

A flash of white light!

The soccer ball flies towards the left side of the goal!

Livorno goalkeeper Amelia made a symbolic save. Because he was standing on the right side of the goal, it was too far away.

Just as the Milan fans were about to cheer, "Pong! ......" with a loud bang, the football unfortunately hit the post, and then it reflected the bottom line.

Inzaghi clutched his head in pain, and San Siro let out a loud cry of regret. The Livorno players are covered in cold sweat, and they won't die!

With such a good chance to score, but there was no goal, then, God is on our side tonight!

Ancelotti shook his head bitterly, missing such a good opportunity, hey......

In the twentieth minute of the second half, the game was still 0-0, and Ancelotti began to make substitutions. He replaced Inzaghi with Tang Jue, and the cooperation between Tang Jue and Ronnie this season has reached the realm of perfection. They became the most formidable forward duo in Serie A and indeed in Europe.

There was a huge round of applause from San Siro, and they seemed to see the dawn of victory!

Tang Jue is the dawn of victory!

Looking at Tang Jue, who ran into the field, the Livorno player exhaled a long breath. Tang Jue came on the field, and no one made them timid or afraid, and a stronger fighting spirit rose from the bottom of their hearts. There is only one task tonight, to end Milan's winning streak!

Don't win, just a draw!

They are confident that they can do it!

After Tang Jue came on the field, he became a little unreasonable, and as soon as he had the opportunity, he would be outside the opponent's penalty area and rampage with the ball. Tang Jue's first three breakthroughs were stubbornly blocked by the Livorno defenders.

Ancelotti was not annoyed by this, but applauded Tang Jue because this was his arrangement. His intention was to get a direct free-kick in front of the box. Since you can't break through the opponent's goal in positional battles, let's use set-pieces.

When it comes to set-pieces, direct free-kicks in front of the box pose the greatest threat.

In the 32nd minute, Tang Jue rushed to the opponent's penalty area for the fifth time. This time the opponent did not steal the football. A narrow passing route appeared before his eyes. If he can get the ball out, Ronnie can get into the opposition penalty area and finish the last blow!

Swinging his right foot towards the football, Don must complete this pass!

Ronnie starts to push towards the Livorno penalty area!

"Ah......h The referee blew the whistle and pointed his left hand directly at the opponent's goal. Direct Free Kick!

Don could see the pass, and so could the Livorno players. So Livorno's back decisively put Tang Jue down.

Ancelotti, who was standing in the command area, nodded, he was not worried at all that Tang Jue would be injured.

The depression that has been building up for a long time can finally find an outlet. The Milan players suddenly surrounded them with great momentum. The stadium became chaotic.

Two minutes later. The game was able to restart. Tang Jue and Andrea Pirlo were standing next to the football, discussing what to do with the perfectly placed direct free-kick. Pirlo whispered in Tang Jue's ear: "Since you created it, then this opportunity will be given to you!" I believe you! ”

Tang did not refuse, and took a few steps back. The referee blew the whistle. Tang Jue slowly ran towards the football. Then came the kick. The soccer ball flies towards the top left corner of the wall!

Livorno's human walls have risen sharply!

But the wall of people failed to stop the football from moving forward!

After flying over the wall, the ball starts falling!

Livorno goalkeeper Amelia flew out!

His hand didn't touch the football!

"Pong! ......" There was a loud bang, and the football hit the post again. Fly out of the bottom line!

Tang Jue slapped his head angrily. San Siro let out a loud sigh again, and Ancelotti shook his head in pain and helplessness. Inzaghi's shot was denied by the post, and now Tang Jue's shot was denied by the post again.

Livorno goalkeeper Amelia got up from the turf and roared!

He was so convinced that God was on their side, and he could even be sure that God was in their goal. God is here, so you still want to score goals?

The morale of the Livorno players is high, and they are looking to end Milan's winning streak at the San Siro. They are all about leaving their names in the annals of football history!

Time was passing quickly, and it was soon ten minutes after the break. There is a saying in Serie A that the last ten minutes are Tang Jue's exclusive time, and he has scored many goals in this time period.

However, the Livorno players did not get nervous because of this, and they became more excited. Today is not only to end Milan's winning streak, but also to show the world that the so-called "exclusive time" will also end!

So they got excited to get into the game!

Milan struggled again and again to rush into the opponent's penalty area, and again and again to no avail.

So, is the winning streak really coming to an end? Maldini didn't want that, so he went up front!

In the 38th minute of the second half, Maldini shot a long shot in front of the penalty area!

The ball hits Ronnie's shoulder and flies towards the goal!

The Livorno goalkeeper picked it up and held the ball in his arms. Then he kicked the ball into the Milan half!

Tavano, the heart of Livorno's midfield, took a few steps and unloaded the football.

Defend quickly and counterattack!

Milan have only central defender Thuram at the back!

The tall Thuram swooped down on him quickly,

How could Tavano have given up such an opportunity so easily!

There was plenty of space for Tavano to do and take the ball straight towards the Milan goal, with Thuram struggling to catch up. Gradually, the distance between the two became larger and larger, and Thuram's heart was horizontal, and his center of gravity dropped!

However, Thuram did not leave Tavano behind!

Single Knife!

Tavano wants to carry a single knife and slash Milan!

Dida knew that guarding the goal line was dead, so he pounced!

Tavano flew over from Dida's right side, and then it was a kick!

A flash of white light!

Football over the goal line!

The ball is in!

Livorno leads 1-0 at San Siro!

San Siro fell into a great, terrible silence!

Is the streak over?

Breaking the dream of breaking a 58-game unbeaten streak shattered?

Well, the Serie A title is unlikely to be a good one!

Tavano's goal shattered the dreams of Milan fans. They fell from the clouds, then to the ground, and passed out. Deathly silence at San Siro!

Gattuso covered his eyes in pain. Maldini was pale, and if he didn't take part in the attack, then there was a good chance that he would join Thuram and intercept Tavano.

Thuram buried his head in the cold turf, if he had been a few years younger, he would have been able to shovel him over, hey......

Ancelotti's face was similarly pale, but he recovered quickly. It's also good that the Serie A title is gone, so that the focus can be on the Champions League. If you can win the championship with minus 15 points, that's just a dream after all. Now, the dream should wake up!

He didn't blame his players or praise his opponents for how clever their tactics were. Twenty-two consecutive victories are enough to stand proudly on the European continent, which is a monument in itself! (To be continued......)
