Chapter 440: The Second Half

On the sidelines, Wan Sheng celebrated with other coaches and players.

Some of them raised their arms and shouted, some hugged each other enthusiastically, and each of them had excitement and joy on their faces, constantly venting their emotions with various actions and words.

Because, everyone knows that this is not only the performance of the players on the field, but also the result of the hard work of the whole team!

The team has been preparing for AC Milan for more than half a month, and they have even given up preparing for the various league opponents in the middle of the game and devoted themselves to the preparation training for AC Milan, during which everyone has put in the effort, even the players who are sitting on the bench, they have also participated in the preparation, and they can also feel the hard work.

Now that the team has scored, they have experienced the joy of success.

Many people remember the two meetings at the same time last year with AC Milan, the first time they were won at home by AC Milan and came to the San Siro Stadium, they had almost no chances, and after hard work, they won AC Milan at the San Siro Stadium, but the score of the two legs was combined, and they still suffered elimination.

Now the situation is reversed!

The first game was played at the San Siro Stadium and they scored the first goal to take the lead over AC Milan as the home team!

Looking back at last season, and comparing it to now, everyone has a lot of confidence in knocking out AC Milan.

Diamares is no exception.

Wan Sheng's work is what he has always been involved in, it can be said that in the team, Wan Sheng led the team to pay the most, Diamares was able to rank second, he was the hardest of several assistant coaches, seeing Torres' goal, he was extremely excited and said, "Great! We scored! Fernando...... Awesome! ”

"Yes! It's awesome! ”

Wan Sheng laughed and said, pointing to the court and changing his voice, "But Li is better, I see his performance, I know that we can definitely win!" ”

Diamares kept nodding, "Lee is really good. ”

"He's the best player in the world!" Wan Sheng said with confidence, "I believe he is no worse than anyone else." ”

"I believe it too."

Diamares said with a determined face, "No matter what, our chances of winning have increased. ”

"Don't worry, Gail, this is just the beginning."

Diamares listened and looked at the field again, one by one the players were returning to their own half, they were talking and laughing, their expressions were very relaxed, and some were still talking about the goal just now.

The whole team looked very positive.

Diamares couldn't help but think back to a few years ago, when he was also an assistant coach, but in Derby, one manager after another came and went, and his idea was just to stay in Derby all the time.

It wasn't until Wan Sheng became the head coach that it was different.

Wansheng led Derby County to play in the top league, and created a miracle to lead Derby County to become the league champion, and then Wansheng chose to leave, and he also chose to leave with Wansheng.

When he left, Diamares was at a loss, because he didn't know if he had made the right choice, but now he knew that he had made the right choice.

Personally, his salary is higher than that of the average manager, and as a team, the coaching staff has been successful at Manchester City and is now on their way to the Champions League, the highest honour for European clubs.

AC Milan are a formidable opponent and if they can beat them, they will be able to reach the last four of the Champions League and be much closer to the title.

Looking back on the past, and then comparing it to the present, Diamares suddenly realized that he was unconsciously creating a big career!

――――

On the field, various media outlets were also talking about goals.

At the moment when the football flew into the goal, many commentators shouted, perhaps for the commentators, waiting for the goal is too long and too long, whether it is AC Milan's goal, or Manchester City's goal, only the goal can make their commentary exciting, otherwise it will be a dull transmission, and they will find other topics to continue to explain.

That's brain-draining......

It was a lot easier for them with a goal from Fernando Torres and they were all talking about the goal they had just scored.

Compared with other peers, the Italian commentator is much more difficult, because AC Milan was scored, and as an Italian commentator, he must support AC Milan, so after analyzing the goal, he could only say sadly, "We have all been deceived by the hateful British!" ”

"They're just a bunch of liars, scoundrels!"

"Before the game, they were all saying that Morris was not in good shape, and he wouldn't even have a chance to start in this game, but Morris started, and he was in very good shape...... And they succeeded. ”

"It's a deceptive trap that we all jumped into......"

The Italian commentator attributed the reason for the goal to Morris and to the scam of the British media, but in reality, even if AC Milan defended Morris seriously, the goal would still have come out.

As the words of BBC radio commentator Ryan John, "Morris was so good, he fooled almost everyone with a few moves, and when Torres received the ball, he was unguarded because even Nesta was fooled ......"

"In this attack, Morris perfectly illustrated the meaning of an attacking core, he constantly interspersed with runs and passes, so that the AC Milan defence can be easily broken down like papier-mΓ’chΓ©."

"That's Lee Morris, the ability of one of the world's top core midfielders!"

――――

Torres' goal was also the only goal for both teams in the first half.

Soon it was half-time, and Wan Sheng praised the team's performance in the dressing room, but he focused more on playing seriously and not having any negligence.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ The opponent is AC Milan, the world's top giants, they eliminated us last season, we remember the depression and shame at that time! Now we have to play every minute seriously and don't give them any chance to turn over! There are 90 minutes in the fight, and then there is a second leg, and I hope that in this fight, we can play enough to get back to where we are. ”

'We were good enough in the first half, I want to commend you, but in the second half we still have to work hard, we continue to stick to the tactical style, we play the game seriously, now we are in favor of the scoreline, but you have to be vigilant and serious, a team like AC Milan, they can turn around if they have a chance, do you understand?'

Everyone nodded earnestly.

Then Wan Sheng marked a name on the tactical board, that is, AC Milan's core Kaka, he emphasized, "You must guard him seriously, treat Kaka, no matter how careful you are!" ”

Wansheng has to focus on Kaka.

Kaka is a world-renowned star, and perhaps in professional football circles, some famous stars are difficult to create much deterrence, but Kaka is different.

Wansheng knows very well that these two years are the peak of Kaka, and they are the two years of Kaka's best performance.

Kaka reached the best moment of his career last year, winning the Ballon d'Or and World Footballer of the Year awards for his outstanding performances at the club, and he will continue his personal success until he leaves AC Milan, and some of the most classic goals of his career have also been completed in recent seasons, and he is a player who can change the game with his individual ability.

Therefore, it is not too important to pay attention to Kaka.

In this game, Wan Sheng asked Morris to defend Kaka, even so, Kaka also had two shots on goal in the first half, and both times they were chances found by relying on individual ability.

If you want to beat AC Milan safely, Kaka's points must be frozen.

This can also be regarded as a 'loophole' in the team's tactics, the current team's style of play is too focused on the control of the midfield, Silva, Ozil and other players are impossible to go back, their defensive ability is not very good, it is difficult for the two fullbacks to participate in the defense, the team has only one central defender, it is impossible to send people to mark Kaka, so Wansheng can only let Morris defend, and at the same time, let others be more careful with Kaka.

No tactics are perfect, and no tactics can take into account control, overall defense and single-point defense, the team's current tactical play, the first two points are good, and AC Milan is suppressed in the overall situation, it is not easy to do these two points alone, after all, this is a game at the San Siro Stadium, and the opponent AC Milan is definitely the top in Europe, so it is difficult to scruple about the 'single point' defense.

Wan Sheng only hopes that there will be no major problems in the second half.

Then back at the Manchester Stadium, they have a good chance of knocking out AC Milan.

――――

In the second half, AC significantly stepped up their attack.

Carlo Ancelotti and his players are not willing to lose at the San Siro, which means their chances of reaching the last four of the Champions League will be greatly reduced, so they must step up their attack.

Objectively speaking, AC Milan's offensive is still good.

Although the midfield is blocked a lot of the time, as long as they can get past Manchester City's midfield, it will be easy to find good opportunities in front of goal, because Manchester City only have one central defender, and this kind of attacking control tactics will inevitably be much worse in terms of defense at the back.

After several waves of attacks, AC Milan also played with confidence.

They found that City's defence was not so difficult to break through, and perhaps the first half was suppressed due to midfield control, so they began to launch quick counter-attacks frequently.

As the 'brain' of AC Milan, many times Pirlo even gave up his technical football and switched to long passes to break through Manchester City's defense.

Manchester City's attack is also very sharp, they rely on the cooperation of the midfield, so that AC Milan in front of the goal is frequent, on the whole, the two teams are evenly matched.

Now it's up to the players of both teams to perform on the field.
