(Ask for commuter passes and recommended tickets)
The score remained unchanged after Chen Yu's goal in the first half, and AC Milan returned to the dressing room with two goals conceded.
In the first half, AC Milan were completely passive, with only two shots on goal and no shots on goal at all. Shevchenko and Tomasson, the two strikers, did not receive any strong support at all, and did not have a single shot on goal.
In fact, Ancelotti has three attacking players in the midfield, Kaka, Rui Costa and Serginho, but Chen Yu beat the veteran Costa Curta on the side, Serginho is difficult to resist back to the defense, and Gattuso has to frequently make up for the side, because Rui Costa and Kaka are not good at defending, the opponent attacks in the middle, it is easy to face the central defenders directly, they are still too busy to take care of themselves, where is there still strength to support the forwards.
Ancelotti saw that there was really no way to resist Chen Yu on the side, so he simply gave up the play of four backs in the second half and changed to three central defenders, Stamm, Nesta and Costa Kuta played three backs, and gave the side to Chen Yu to break through and strengthen the defense in the middle, at the same time. Kaka returned to the central midfield position, and right-back Cafu was promoted to the wings of Serginho, the left midfielder.
This is Ancelotti's helpless change of formation, but this change almost has an immediate effect, although the three central defenders play makes AC Milan on both wings, especially the right wing, repeatedly formed a breakthrough by Chen Yu, but in the middle, Nesta and Stam firmly stared at the opposing strikers Mikoli and Di Natale, and even if they are missing, behind them, Costacuta can still make up for them.
Having completely entrusted the defensive responsibilities to a few players in the middle, AC Milan had one more man in midfield than in the first half. Serginho, Rui Costa, Gattuso and Cafu pulled apart side by side, fully open up in midfield and were able to threaten Fiorentina's backline from the flanks.
At the beginning of the second half, Cafu, who was 20 meters in front of him, won the ball on the right side, and at this moment he was closer to the Fiorentina penalty area, Cafu took a few steps to attract the defense of Jorgensen and Chiellini, and saw that it was almost to the bottom line, and passed the ball to the middle before Jorgensen and Chiellini stretched out their feet to intercept, and the ball happened to pass many Fiorentina defenders like an eye, and flew to the back post.
Tomasson stretched out his foot to shoot at the front post, but couldn't find it under Ujfarussi, but Shevchenko was waiting at the back post.
Perhaps it was because Shevchenko did not have the support of his teammates in the first half and did not get any chance to shoot, which made the Fiorentina defenders miss him, but it was this momentary negligence that Fiorentina paid a heavy price.
Shevchenko stretched out his foot and pushed, and the ball flew into the net.
The Ukrainian nuclear warhead pulled a point back for AC Milan.
“GOALGOALGOAL…… Shevashevata appeared like a bolt of lightning and you simply couldn't stop him...... Appearing in the most appropriate position in the most appropriate situation, Macho could only watch as he easily pushed the ball into the net. ”
Milan's commentator roared, very excited that Milan equalised so quickly.
Ancelotti was also very happy to score at the kick-off in the second half, and Ancelotti, who has always been moody, waved his fist at the pitch with a smile on his face, and muttered something before walking back to his seat.
Sheva's goal made the hearts of Fiorentina fans hang, the opponent started the second half with a strong momentum, and now there is only a one-goal gap, but there are still 45 minutes left, not to mention that the fans are not at ease, even the coach Busso and others are also in a nervous mood.
AC Milan, who are experienced enough to see that the first attack worked, and the opponents had not yet adapted to the 35 formation, they immediately launched a more aggressive attack to crush Fiorentina with a blitzkrieg.
In the 49th minute, Serginho attacked on the side, but encountered a fierce defense from Fiorentina, he passed the ball to Kaka, who suddenly pulled side, and after playing a clever combination with Cafu, Kaka broke through Chiellini to the bottom line.
Kaka has never been a wide player, he didn't cross directly, but cut into the box from near the baseline, then slotted the ball past Dainelli and then passed the ball to the back post.
Tomasson still grabbed the middle and Sheva grabbed the back post, but this time Maggio didn't give Sheva a chance, and he poked the ball out of the line before Sheva.
Busso's repeated distress made it impossible for Busso to hold his breath any longer, and he ran to the sidelines, roaring loudly.
"Chen Yudi, Natale shrinks and retreats, don't give the opponent a chance on the wing"
"Mares Kajogensen, move closer to the middle and stop Kaka"
Busso was more practical than Mondonico, and seeing that the situation was not good, he immediately gave up the attack, allowing Chen Yu and Di Natale to shrink and play a 45L defensive formation.
Fiorentina's change was very timely, and when the opponent was not sure of the details, the defense was a good move. AC Milan never had the chances to play as well as the first five minutes.
In the UU minute of the game, Carlo Ancelotti saw that he could not equalize for a long time and replaced Rui Costa with Andrea Pirlo.
When Rui Costa walked off the pitch, there was applause from the stands, not from the AC Milan fans, but from Fiorentina.
The Portuguese did not play well in this game, but the Fiorentina fans saw Rui Costa off with a round of applause, and the meaning was a tribute rather than a mockery, because Rui Costa was the captain of Fiorentina and dedicated the best years of his family to the Purple Lily.
When he joined Fiorentina in 1994, Costa was still a young man, and in seven years he played 15 games for the team and scored 38 goals, bringing Fiorentina a domestic cup title and a domestic Super Cup, and when he left, he also gave Fiorentina UU million pounds, which made Fiorentina always have a lot of respect for him.
Seeing this scene, Chen Yu couldn't help but sigh secretly, and when Rui Costa passed by him, he went over and shook hands with Rui Costa.
Rui Costa was a little surprised, but seeing Chen Yu's kind smile, he also smiled, clasped Chen Yu's hand, Rui Costa said: "Even if you go, don't hurt the hearts of these fans, they are the best fans in the world, if possible, give them a championship." ”
This time it was Chen Yu's turn to be stunned, but he immediately said, "Yes, it will." ”
The game started again, Fiorentina still did not take the initiative to attack, and after they contracted, Chen Yu and Di Natale were given more space and counterattacked more sharply.
Serginho was still unable to get through the midfield, Cafu was constrained by Di Natale and Chiellini, and the attack could only rely on the combination of Sheva, Kaka and Pirlo in the middle.
The combination of Sheva, Kaka and Pirlo is undoubtedly world-class, but after Fiorentina contracted, Jorgensen and Maresca moved closer to the middle, seriously compressing the space for Pirlo and Kaka, making it very difficult for them to cooperate and dribble.
After 70 minutes of the game, Milan was impatient, they replaced Serginho and replaced Seedorf, trying to open the situation on the left side, but the effect was not good, but because Seedorf flew to risk attacking and was counterattacked by Chen Yu continuously.
In the 73rd minute of the game, Chen Yu broke through Seedorf at high speed and crossed from the left.
Maybe it's because fatigue affects the state, maybe it's Chen Yu's pass is a little spinning, Stam of the right central defender actually made an undeserved mistake, didn't shovel the ball, and leaked the ball to Mikoli, although it was an accident, but Mikoli showed the quality of a first-class goalscorer, in the face of the fast Dida, he stopped the ball with his left foot, and hit the ball with his right foot without hesitation, but at this time a foot suddenly appeared in front of the ball, and the ball hit the foot and deviated from the bottom line.
It was the veteran Costa Kuta who served as a free central defender, and at the critical moment, the veteran's interception left a glimmer of life for the team, and also washed away the shame of being completely blown up by Chen Yu in the first half.
In the RU minute of the game, Pirlo received a pass from the right side of Gattuso in front of the penalty area, and seemed to take the ball, but the ball suddenly leaked, and the toe of his right foot poked him.
In the first minute, Andrea Pirlo's scalpel-like through ball tore through the Fiorentina defence from the right rib and comfortably reached the feet of Cafu, whose powerful right-footed shot was saved by Sejas flying close to the post, and Tomasson's follow-up left-footed shot was deflected wide of the near post.
AC Milan's two attacks were very threatening, especially the latter one, and if Tomasson had been calmer and opted for a cross to the middle, Shevchenko and Kaka had chances to push the empty net from close range.
But at this time, AC Milan's attack is also at the end of the crossbow, their physical strength has been exhausted, they can no longer maintain the previous offensive intensity, and the speed of defense has slowed down.
In the RU minute of the game, Fiorentina's physical advantage was fully revealed.
Hidetoshi Nakata, who had just replaced Maresca, sent a straight stopper, Mikoli took the ball in the middle and faced free central defender Costa Kuta, Fiorentina's other two arrows, Di Natale and Chen Yu cut in from the left and right fronts, and Fiorentina formed a three-on-three favorable situation in the front.
Mikoli needed to get around Costacuta if he wanted to break through the past, and Mikouri opted to pass the ball when he was closer to the other two centre-backs, Nesta and Stam.
The ball was stuffed from the ribs behind the three central defenders, looking for Chen Yu, who had been suppressing his speed for fear of offside.
As soon as the ball came out, Chen Yu immediately bounced out like a tightly compressed spring, just an arrow step, and threw Stam away a meter away, when Stam went sideways to chase, Chen Yu accelerated again, and Stam was already left nearly two meters away.
At this distance, Stam was no longer enough to threaten Chen Yu's shot, and when goalkeeper Dida came out, Chen Yu pushed lightly, and the ball flew into the net from Dida's feet.
Chen Yu scored twice to score his 33rd goal of the season.
