The second update -

San Siro is the focus of attention in European and world football because of the star-studded scene!

In comparison, Ajax also has a large number of talents, but it is more like a "preparative" superstar, whether it is or not, God knows, the future will be revealed, and AC Milan has several superstars!

Italy is a tactical paradise in the green world, academic leaders can be seen everywhere, here, it is difficult to become a hegemon with a passion alone, in the process of that tactical game, the audience may be interested in watching the excitement, but in the eyes of insiders, this is the peak stage of the highest level.

And Italy is famous all over the world for its defense, continuous defense!

The rate of tactical execution is amazing.

Reflected on the pitch, it is the overall consistency of the team's operation, which is coldly outrageous!

The stronger the team, the more cold it is like gold, always exuding a cold atmosphere, resolutely not making mistakes, just like Juventus often gives people a feeling when they dominate the Apennines: they don't make mistakes, making competitors desperate!

Often the competition between rivals of equal strength is who does not make mistakes, and a small mistake can bury the efforts of a strong team throughout the season, thus determining the championship.

Although AC Milan has created a magical midfield where artists coexist, making their midfield like a blooming flower, unpredictable, but in the same way, AC Milan definitely has the traditional characteristics of an Italian team: stability!

Obviously, the first two rounds of the Champions League group stage were terrible, and they were two points behind Ajax, but at the San Siro, it was not seen that AC Milan would play particularly aggressively in attack, on the contrary, their players did not seem to be affected in the slightest, and on a steady basis, artists such as Pirlo and Seedorf tried to destroy Ajax's united defence.

I have to say that watching Andrea Pirlo and Seedorf play, you hardly feel the intensity of the scene like the Premier League or the Eredivisie, they always surprise people in a leisurely way.

A pass, a pass, when everyone didn't notice, came to the right place and inserted a long shot, like thunder in the clear sky!

Ajax is crumbling under AC Milan's powerful attack, a qiē, from the disadvantage of the midfield!

The one who wins the midfielder wins the world!

This is already the consensus of everyone in football.

AC Milan's midfield's control is too strong, Pirlo-Seedorf-Kaka, the skillful ball control of the three, enough to make Ajax's encirclement in the midfield futile.

Ajax's midfield, on the other hand, is in an awkward position when it comes to attacking.

Van der Vaart doesn't know how many times he has been sniped by the madman-like Gattuso with his body, with fouls, with ferocious interceptions.

That's not a competition at the same level!

Van der Vaart wanted to use small skills to break through the frontcourt, but Gattuso was unreasonable and did not eat this set.

Do you dare to beat me?

Let go of you!

Do you dare to protest?

Lao Tzu glared, you don't even dare to fart!

At the end of the first half, Van der Vaart's face was extremely gloomy, and whenever he met Gattuso with the ball in front, it was like a white rabbit meeting a ferocious jungle beast!

Not to mention the rest of the players, Sicola was like a frightened child in front of Maldini, and after two unsuccessful breakthroughs in a row, he lost confidence in his own possession.

Sneijder also struggled to make a difference against Cafu, a veteran who had significantly weakened his assists and focused on defence.

Qin Xiong sat on the bench and fell into thought.

If football is just a one-on-one sport.

Then Ajax won't have any chance of beating AC Milan.

Comparing it one-on-one, Ajax does not have a position to crush the opponent, so there is no possibility of victory.

However, football is not such a sport after all, and team chemistry will make the strength of the team rise or fall with the naked eye.

Obviously, the reason why Ajax's attack is difficult is because the attacking system in the front court does not form a whole!

The key point is still on Van der Vaart, the core of the midfield.

However, Qin Xiong didn't dare to replace Van der Vaart by himself, because Van der Vaart had improved his awareness of being overly forward in organizing attacks in the past.

He probably had a deep understanding that he wanted to get the ball in front of him and make a forward pass to create a chance, which may have a high success rate in the Eredivisie, but in front of AC Milan, in front of the Italian team known for its concrete defense, it would be naïve to play like this!

But Van der Vaart still made frequent mistakes under the ravages of the beast Gattuso.

Qin Xiong didn't dare to draw conclusions, the perspective of the onlooker is always relaxed, when he is truly immersive, can he be better than Van der Vaart? Of course, he has faith, but reality does not develop with subjective consciousness.

When the players of the two teams left the field at halftime, Qin Xiong deliberately observed that although the fans of the San Siro were slightly anxious about AC Milan's inability to score, the entire AC Milan team was calm and confident.

This gave Qin Xiong a bad premonition.

The AC Milan that opened his eyes in the first half, perhaps, did not really exert its strength!

Ajax are in danger in front of goal, but they haven't conceded a goal, and if they can get a point at the San Siro, then Ajax's prospects of qualifying for the Champions League group stage will be very positive.

With a 0-0 win in the first half, Coman naturally put more emphasis on defense when speaking at half-time, so that the team should not panic.

According to the past practice, the 45 minutes of the first half are also the process of the passive side getting familiar with the opponent's offensive routine, and the defense is always more passive than the offense.

It was under the influence of this thinking that Koeman saw a situation in the second half that he had never imagined!

AC Milan erupted with an incredible acceleration up front.

Pirlo and Seedorf to the team's offensive acceleration is based on sudden long passes or ground straight stops, in front of them, Kaka is mainly to break through with the ball, the most unexpected thing is that Shevchenko will wander on the side, his dribbling threat can not be ignored, this top scorer, willing to make a wedding dress for his teammates, deliver shells for Inzaghi, this is unimaginable, just like the current Ibrahimovic will never take the initiative to pull the side to create a zào opportunity for his teammates, he will only overbearing let his teammates serve him!

AC Milan frequently accelerates in attack, long passes, ground plugs, individual dribbling through the middle, strikers pulling the side and dribbling inward, etc.

In the 71st minute of the second half, Shevchenko and Inzaghi pressed the penalty area, driving the Ajax back line to retreat, in disguise, tearing the gap between the Ajax defenders and the midfield line.

Seedorf got a wide space for a long-range shot, and he hit the goal with a heavy shot from Shevchenko's return pass, goalkeeper Lobonte bravely blocked his long-range shot, but the ball bounced in the box and was sent into the empty net by Inzaghi's follow-up shot!

None of the Ajax defenders reacted, but Inzaghi took his chance!

The San Siro erupted in deafening cheers as the Rossoneri celebrated the goal feverishly.

1:0

yes, - it's just 1:0.

But for the Italian team, 1:0 is almost equivalent to holding the victory in the palm of your hand, and the stronger the team, the more so!

Coman glanced back at the bench with a blank face and opted for Belgian striker Thorne.

He didn't consider Qin Xiong, because the game was too critical, Qin Xiong was still inexperienced in his eyes, and because, now Ajax, what he needs is to score!

Well, adding shooters is the most conventional thing to do.

Of course, he couldn't gamble like Robson Sr. did when he was in charge of Barcelona, sending six, seven, or even eight attacking players, leaving only two or three defenders.

Gambling, it also depends on whether you have the capital!

Ajax dares to gamble like this in San Siro, then the probability of winning the bet will not exceed 1%, and the 99% probability is that it will end in a collapse and return to Amsterdam with bruises, and the blow to morale and confidence may affect the whole season, and the stricter it will lead the team to fall apart!

Sonk replaced the inactive Sikora and formed a double striker with Ibrahimovic, Van der Fatra was on the side, Sneijder was also on the side, Ajax concentrated on playing on the wing, and did not want to organize in the middle, because it was useless, Van der Vaart trembled in the shadow of Gattuso's madness almost the whole game!

AC Milan didn't have the madness of being unforgiving, Italy's steely temperament was vividly reflected, at least, Ancelotti would not allow the team to become "emotional" against Ajax the following year, maybe last year was a light opponent, almost lost at the hands of Ajax's young guards, and this year? Sorry, I refuse!

Ajax struggled to get on the scoresheet but couldn't create a good chance, and instead the defence came close to another blow, with Shevchenko squandering a great chance to score with an undisturbed shot that went wide of the post.

In the end, Ajax was able to defeat San Siro 0:1.
