Section 470 Leveling Points
When Tottenham scored a goal, the weakness at the start of the game swept away them. Originally, what they were afraid of was not Milan's ability to play, but Milan's overly prominent reputation, but now that they have scored goals, they see that Milan's strength is nothing more than that, so they are not welcome in the face of Milan, which has poor donkey skills.
Except for Gustavo, Tottenham's entire front line was pressed over the middle line, and the two wings were also pressed near the middle line, and they pressed almost all the way, pressing Milan in the backfield and kicking Milan to the point that they lost their ability to resist.
"Just a few days ago, against Manchester United, coach Li Bin was still saying that he didn't dare to let the players press because of a lack of protection at the back. But now it seems that his team is just as unhesitating to press. I really don't know if Li Bin is making excuses for what he said a few days ago, or if he was too happy to have fun today......"
The commentator has a little sour words, in fact, he himself knows very well what he is talking about: although the current Manchester United is declining, there is still a Rooney, Nani and the like, who can rush, dare to rush, and have the ability to impact Tottenham's backline, and now Milan, who does it rely on to impact the backline? There are only a few people in total, and none of them are young people, Li Bin only left a defender in the backfield, and they can't rush either.
Li Bin said that he was afraid of impact, and he said it to the Premier League team. After all, the group of goods in the Premier League is the middle and lower reaches, and they are also a trained impact, and they are still quite threatening to deal with Tottenham's backfield. Playing in the Premier League, you can't do without anything else, you can't have physical speed, and in the face of them, you have to be careful with the counterattack of the quick raid. However, against a team like Milan that does not have any impact threat at all, he simply does not care. What else can such an old group of guys do? It's nothing more than passing, cooperating, and trying to cut into the ground. However, the four midfielders arranged by Li Bin completely pressed them back in front, and if they wanted to form a cooperation, where was it so easy?
When a team doesn't use young people for many years, their physical advantage is diminished to an unimaginable degree. Serie A teams, because they have no money and can't afford to buy too good new stars, the overall level has been declining. This decline is not obvious in other things, but it is most obvious in the rhythm. The pace of Serie A is now one of the slowest in the big five leagues, and it will get slower and slower, and in such a league environment, the old guys of Milan can play well, and when it comes to the flow of Premier League play, they simply can't play.
Therefore, in response to this, it is enough to crush them physically and frantically, and it is enough to make them unable to get up. Although Milan has a strong organizational Pirlo, it does not mean that they can play artistic football, without the advancement of Alves, without the breakthrough of Messi in the frontcourt, their attack is destined to not be able to play.
Therefore, even if there is only one goal-line goalkeeper in the back, he still dares to let the players press very high - even Li Bin himself feels that being able to face Milan in the Champions League is too suitable for Tottenham at this time.
Most of Tottenham's players are still very young and they still don't have much experience in European competition. A win guarantees them confidence, but more experience, they need to rely on the game to gain it. Now, in front of them, there is such a top-level team with experience, no offensive threat, only meticulous defensive tactics can be praised Milan, is the best tool for leveling.
In the front court, Ramsey had just got the ball, he didn't have the ability to shake too well, he could only rely on his speed, forced two steps, staggered Pirlo in front, and immediately shot from a distance. The shot was quite good, but unfortunately, Nesta saw the line and smashed the ball out of the line with a tackle in front of the goal, which did not result in a goal.
As one of the few powerful factions in Milan now, Nesta is now Milan's last straw.
"Nesta saved Milan...... It's just that if you keep playing like this, even Nesta, you won't be able to save Milan a few times. ”
Milan's situation is clearly shaky, and it is clear that when Bale puts the ball there from the corner, he keeps swinging his hand to get his team-mates in position, and he is no longer thinking about how he will have the privilege of playing with Milan, but how to penetrate the opponent's door.
Milan's set-piece defence has always been good, and now they have very good players and the best defensive expert Tassotti, and this defense line naturally has no problems. However, Bale is not looking for a problem with their defenders, but with their midfielders.
It's not a very smart idea to treat Andrea Pirlo as a defensive midfielder and not to have enough bodyguards for him!
Bale made a pass and kicked it straight towards the back post. He saw Thiago Silva in fast movement, who already had a big advantage, but he was competing with Nesta, although Thiago Silva's heading ability and bounce power were better than his opponent's, Nesta still grabbed the first point and pushed the ball out at once.
In front of the penalty area, Yaya Toure and Ambrosini ran together to the point where the ball landed. Although Bale hoped that Yaya Toure would be able to compete for Andrea Pirlo for the player, Milan still arranged for Ambrosini, who is more defensive, to watch Yaya Toure.
Yaya Toure took a step faster and got the ball, but Ambrosini immediately made a tackle and would rather foul than give him a chance to get up and try to shoot!
However, Yaya Toure did not hesitate and crossed the ball to the feet of Ramsey.
Tottenham struggled for two points in a row, but on the third point, Ramsey managed to keep the ball under control. This time, Pirlo in front of him finally had no ability to grab the ball - although the Tottenham players may fall behind in some places, they are still better than their opponents in terms of overall intensity.
And Ramsey, who got the ball, did not choose to shoot directly this time. There were a lot of people in the penalty area, and he knew that it would be difficult for him to score with a long-range shot, and if he wanted to make any contribution, he would have to think about better ways.
Ramsey has always been clear that as a homegrown player for Tottenham, he is a key target for the coach. But all along, his skill level and ability have not been very satisfactory. He didn't fit well into the tactics, he didn't play to the quality of his teammates, although he could run, he had a good attitude, and he was considered by the coach to have a good vision, but none of this changed the fact that he was actually the weakest link in the team. He has always wanted to know how he can play to be stronger, and this is also something that bothers him a lot.
And now Yaya Toure is another nanny-style pass, which also makes him make up his mind, this ball must not be wasted. The coach said that he has a good vision and a strong ability to use the space of football, so how can he use it in such a dense crowd and a small space?
Shot? Not good, passing? To whom?
In front of him, when the players were running, he saw a figure in the penalty area running sideways and at the same time reaching out to him. He almost instantly recognized the navy blue away shirt as his team-mate Raul. This also made him feel relieved and kicked the ball over.
This is how the cooperation between the players, the help, the progress, is done: when a player has the ball and is confused about who to pass the ball to, it is better to have a player who can run in time and let him pass the good ball. Ramsey now still needs to rely on Yaya Toure's pass and Raul's running position, but he doesn't realise that now he can also be a point of contact for Toure and a player who can spot Raul's position and pass the ball out. Li Bin said that he makes good use of his space, not that he can break through and create space infinitely, or that he can make good use of the fleeting space, playing like Riquelme, what he can do is an excellent pass based on his excellent running ability, which is not easy for him.
This kind of strength improvement is slow, but it is very effective. Especially when facing a strong opponent, a successful combination can make players remember for a long time. Ramsey's success in passing such a ball through Milan's defence was a big improvement for him.
And in the penalty area, Raul, who got the ball, was already facing Zambrotta, who was close at hand, and he didn't choose anyone: he knew that even if he was at his peak, this kind of small-scale flexibility in the penalty area was not his forte, not to mention, behind Zambrotta, it was Lucio, and he was not very likely to break through continuously. However, with this successful pass, he has also found a better way to deal with his opponent, and the moment he received the ball, he had already picked the ball towards the far post!
A sudden pick-up shot made a crowd in the penalty area turn over, no one thought that Raul would play such a hand, he was in the penalty area, after getting the ball, he actually chose to shoot directly! Lucio and Nesta thought he would continue to cooperate and seek attacks, but instead of doing so, he chose to shoot directly.
Raul is different from others, he is not one of those young players in the Champions League, he is an experienced person, he knows when the opponent will show problems, he knows when the opponent will be caught off guard, so he can also choose to shoot at this time and break through the opponent's door.
Li Bin asked him to play to use his experience, and he also proved very well that with the support of his teammates, he is still immortal!
“gooooal!!!!”
The shouts rang out for days, Abbiati's save could not reach the football, Raul's shooting angle was tricky enough, suddenly enough, one of Milan's backlines were guarding against Tottenham's clash again, because of Tottenham's strong impact, they had already decided that Tottenham would forcibly tear apart their defense, they didn't take into account that Raul would suddenly shoot a cold arrow, the game was rewritten again, Raul scored a goal, as the Lord of the Rings in the Champions League, he scored the Champions League goal is already the first person in the world, but now, he is refreshing his own record again!
"Raul broke the door and Raul scored! Tottenham's offensive has made Milan defenseless, and now they are simply fish on Tottenham's board! ”
Leonardo shouted from the sidelines, but his shouting did nothing to change the situation on the field. Tottenham's players went 2-0 and on the road, 2-0 in less than half a match. The first time they played in the Champions League, they had already humiliated Milan with Champions League genes away from home, and now Tottenham has played out the best state!
