Chapter 31: The Clever Use of Long-Range Tactics

The match against AC Milan came as scheduled.

The San Siro stadium was packed, and it has to be said that the cave of "Milan Sport" is still quite strong. They said it was the best moment for revenge, so many AC Milan fans came to watch the team's revenge.

The sound they made completely overwhelmed the Lazio fans, who were extreme enough to show their presence only by firing blue signal sticks.

But they were placed in the corner of the top stand, even if they showed their existence, it was meaningless.

They are not the masters here.

Here, it's AC Milan who has the final say.

Standing in front of the coach's box, he continued the tradition in Getafe and Valencia, as well as in Rome, no matter how he usually wears, as long as he directs the team to play, he must be a straight suit, even in the middle of summer, he will not slack off.

Except for not wearing a tie.

Even at Roma, when there was trouble, he never made his image in front of the dugout look embarrassing.

The game had already started and he was staring at the pitch.

※※※

Both sides fielded the strongest line-up they could.

AC Milan wants revenge, Chang Sheng doesn't want AC Milan to succeed in revenge, he hopes that AC Milan will never be able to get revenge.

He has no prejudice against AC Milan, but as a cautious man, Chang Sheng remembers Berlusconi's ridicule at the beginning.

He won't pass up an opportunity to hit Berlusconi.

Since AC Milan is Berlusconi's team, it is natural that they cannot escape this fate.

Carlo Ancelotti did line up a counter-attacking tactic in this game.

The Christmas tree formation combined with a counter-attacking defence is why AC Milan could be league champions last year.

But this time, they met a perennial Lazio. Their counter-attacks are about to be put to the test.

Fifteen minutes into the game, Carlo Ancelotti was surprised to find that Lazio's previous furious attack was the norm!

When the game starts. Lazio kicked off and they took advantage of the kick-off to launch a fierce attack towards the AC Milan goal.

Carlo Ancelotti thought it was a normal start at the time, with Lazio hoping to use the opening rush to get past AC Milan's goal as soon as possible, so that the winner could pass the time with possession.

Carlo Ancelotti has also played Chang Sheng five times, and he is well aware of his tactical routine.

No matter how it changes. He believes that this will certainly not change.

As long as you get past the offensive in this initial phase, the initiative will be back in your hands.

That's what Carlo Ancelotti said to his players, tell them to pay attention to the defense as soon as they come up, don't press out easily, and give Lazio any chance.

The players did follow his tactical plan.

From the first minute of the game, most of the time they were shrinking their defense. Occasionally, he had a counter-attacking opportunity, and only Kaka and Shepchenko were allowed to harass the opposing backline.

Although Lazio's attack is fierce, they are both convinced that their backline will not fall through so quickly.

If AC Milan's backline can't hold up for even fifteen minutes, how can they be the team that conceded the second-fewest goals last season? Just one more goal than Juventus, who have conceded twenty-seven goals.

Although Lazio's attack is really fierce......

I didn't expect fifteen minutes later. Lazio didn't slow down the tempo at all, recycling the defence and giving the opposition the offensive stance.

They're going on the offensive!

And the intensity of the offensive has not significantly weakened!

Their pace is still high, their passing is still sharp, their long-range shots are ...... There is still a threat!

※※※

"Melo shoots from distance!!"

Accompanied by the long hiss of the commentator, the Brazilian defender Felipe. Melo shoots from 30 yards out!

The ball went straight to the goal.

Goalkeeper Dida, also from Brazil, made a brilliant save when he pounced sideways and used his height and arm length advantage to block Melo's long-range shot!

The soccer ball pops up on the bottom line. Corner kick!

"It's dangerous! How many times has Dida been saved? Three! Technical statistics tell us that in just sixteen minutes. Dida has made three crucial saves! And two of those three key saves were from Lazio's long range! Lazio had a lot of long-range shots in this game, and the shot on target rate was also very high! ”

No one knows why Lazio played long-range shots in this game, and they often fired from 25 to 35 yards from goal, with Liverani, Melo and Gianni Keida taking turns to shoot from distance, regardless of their finishing skills.

Even the Lazio players themselves did not expect that long-range shooting would become an important tactic in this game.

Whoever he thinks he can. When the timing is right and you are sure, then don't hesitate to get up and shoot.

Chang Sheng said this to his players.

The players also executed his tactics faithfully.

The three forwards up front are responsible for creating space for the three midfielders.

Tear away the AC Milan defenders and clear the way to the goal.

Then the three midfielders came up with cannons, and the cannons opened fire!

※※※

No one knows why. Because no one knows that there is a system for winning and the same as the skill of the game.

With the long-range enhancement skill of [Precision Strike], it doesn't have to be a pity to leave it away?

In this game, Ancelotti was about to play a defensive counterattack, and the long-range shot was the most famous weapon that broke the defense and counterattacked the dense defense.

This gives Chang Sheng a great opportunity to put this game skill to use.

That's a 10% increase in the chance of a long-range shot hitting the goalframe!

If you want to score, you must first kick in the frame of the goal, and this chance increases by 10 per cent, and the chance of scoring an arrow increases.

Chang Sheng watched Dida get up from the ground from the sidelines, shook his hand, and smiled imperceptibly.

He believes Carlo Ancelotti and AC Milan have seen the threat of his long-range tactics.

Then it's Ancelotti's turn to do the multiple-choice questions.

Is it to leave Lazio's long-range shot alone? Or is it a tube?

Anyway, there will inevitably be flaws in the defense of the striker, and those who can be defended far away can't be prevented from being close!

Plus, three strikers can also shoot from distance.

David. Silva, Rocchi and Pandev can all pull out for long-range shots depending on the situation. No one has stipulated that long-range shots can only be done by midfielders.

So. It makes it even more difficult for AC Milan to defend against long-range shots.

Prevent it or not?

Chang Sheng turned his head to look at Carlo Ancelotti.

Carlo Ancelotti stood on the sidelines, arms folded over his chest, his brow furrowed.

Apparently he was lost in thought.

※※※

Winning is not going to give Ancelotti time to think about what to do.

He whistled and motioned for his players to continue to intensify their long-range shots.

Next, David. The three strikers, Silva, Rocchi and Pandev, also took turns withdrawing to shoot from distance.

Anyway between twenty-five and thirty-five meters in this area, at any angle. It's all right, shoot whatever you want!

The players didn't understand why it had to be a 25-meter to 35-meter zone.

Because the effective range of [Precision Strike] skill is 25 to 35 meters.

Since the main means of shooting is long-range shots, Lazio's attack is fast-paced, as long as the football is given to the player in the right position, it is good to shoot directly from a distance.

For those players who like to shoot from distance, this arrangement is a real blessing for them.

But for the opposing defenders and goalkeeper Dida, it was not so comfortable.

Long shots are like cold arrows, you don't know where they're coming from, and you don't know when they're coming.

Just when you think Liverani is going to shoot. He went and suddenly split the ball to the side, only to have Pandev come up and fired a long-range shot that left Dida and the AC Milan defenders exhausted.

When there were more and more long-range shots, it had already caused inertia among the defending AC Milan players. I always feel that Lazio's next attack must be a long-range shot.

So they just have to go up and block it.

As a result, just when they were all thinking so, in the twenty-fifth minute, Liverani took the ball and was about to shoot.

The AC Milan players immediately lifted their nerves and made a defensive gesture of long-range shot.

Unexpectedly, Liverani's feet landed, but it was not a shot. But...... Pass!

He kicked straight and gave it to Roki, who was running in the middle of the lane!

AC Milan centre-back Kaladze, who blocked Liverani's long-range shot head-on, jumped up and turned around when he saw Liverani. I plan to use my body to block Liverani's long-range shot with my back, but only here is the widest and strongest in my body, which is naturally the most suitable for blocking.

When he jumped up and turned away, he didn't feel the football hit his body.

Instead, he saw the football appear in front of him!

It's fast, but it's definitely not a shot......

Pass!

That's when he reacted. He's been tricked!

When Roki receives the football, all he has to face is Nesta.

But Roki didn't collide head-on with Nesta either.

Instead, I chose to pass!

He passed the football to David. Silva!

This is one of the rules of winning in a team's attack.

Defend against the opposing defender in the penalty area, try not to let yourself get the ball too much, and pass the ball as fast as possible. Only in this way can you get a better chance to shoot, instead of being interfered with by the opponent when shooting, or simply breaking the ball and falling short!

※※※

David. Silva was in a relatively safe position when he received the ball, and the closest to him was Brazilian defender Cafu.

Cafu was rushing up, but he wasn't as fast as Silva.

After receiving the ball, Silva did not continue to dribble the ball, or pass or anything, but shot directly with his feet!

By the time he had shot the ball, Cafu's foot was too late!

At this point, Cafu and the rest of the AC Milan players and fans could only pray that Silva would shoot wide or be saved by Dida.

Dida quickly fell to the ground and pounced on the football!

But he just rubbed his fingertips with it!

The football is still stubbornly flying towards the far post......

Will the ball eventually fly off the line?

A leg wearing a Lazio sky blue sock suddenly hits and shovels the soccer ball on the ground......

The soccer ball flew into the goal with a change of line!

“goooooooooooooooooooooooooooool!!! Pandev!! Pandev !! Lazio have a one-goal lead away from home!! ”

※※※

ps, four more, still four more!

Four consecutive watches, every day is four watches!

It's not easy, because it means that I have to write at least four chapters a day, whether I have to go out or not, and if I want to save it, I have to write five chapters.

I don't know how long I'll last, but I have to keep going when I can!

I hope you will support me with a commuter pass!

Thank you!
