820 Hopes are disappointed
When Carlo Ancelotti saw Real Madrid's starting line-up, he had a bad feeling in his heart.
Real Madrid did not adopt a two-striker formation, but Raul played a single arrow.
The most important thing is Qin Xiong's position.
He appeared in the middle of the midfield, which made Carlo Ancelotti sigh in his heart: Bosque would never be naïve to take risks.
Once the game started, Real Madrid adopted the tactic of controlling the game situation and passing the ball more away from home.
Qin Xiong, Guti, and Sneijder covered the entire midfield area, passing back and forth, cutting and running, so that AC Milan not only had to retreat in defense, otherwise they would risk being exposed by the opponent's continuous lateral transfer of attacks and tearing up the defense line, and AC Milan's positional battle had to break through more obstacles than imagined.
Although Raul is a lone arrow striker, his support and contribution to the defense is obvious to all.
Real Madrid can be said to be armed to the teeth in defence.
In the 6th minute of the game, Kaka began to dribble forward after receiving a pass from Pirlo in the midfield.
AC Milan are still hampered by a lack of attacking players on the wings, which makes the offensive approach lackluster, and the passing of Seedorf, Pirlo and Kaka is not enough.
Kaka's dribbling push is the most effective weapon, but in this match, Kaka is no better off than the previous one.
Even because of the pressure, his situation was even worse.
When he led the ball forward next to Qin Xiong, he did get rid of Qin Xiong, because Qin Xiong needed to turn around, and Kaka exploded with acceleration at the beginning.
Guti kept backing up, and when he was in a parallel position with Diarra, Guti decisively caught up with Kaka.
Kaka can't break to the left, there's Diarra over there. So he chose to break to the right.
After striding away Guti, just as Kaka tried to regain possession, Heinze stepped forward and kicked the ball rolling in front of him directly to Sneijder in front of him.
Kaka looked up to the sky and sighed, Real Madrid's defense really did a good job of interlocking and meticulous design when it came to limiting him!
Real Madrid repeatedly passed the ball in midfield, and then suddenly picked up the tempo and erupted into a wave of dangerous attacks.
In the 13th minute of the game, Qin Xiong suddenly stepped forward after passing the ball to Robben in the midfield.
Arjen Robben cut straight down the middle from the wing and then passed the ball to Sneijder. The latter crosses diagonally in front of the penalty area.
Qin Xiong rushed the ball into the penalty area before Gattuso, and Nesta immediately moved in front of Qin Xiong.
Qin Xiong made a gesture to pass the ball to Raul, and Nesta did not move like a mountain.
He just wanted to make a feint, and then suddenly broke through in the direction of the reverse cut, but Nesta accurately moved laterally to jam Qin Xiong's forward line, cutting off the connection between him and the football, and then the ball was successful!
Qin Xiong raised his hand towards Raul after losing the ball, and then quickly ran towards the backcourt.
Rossoneri fans were relieved and were now a little terrified when they saw Qin Xiong step into the dangerous zone of AC Milan's defense.
18th minute of the game. AC Milan tried to attack Real Madrid's defence in a simple and brutal way.
Kaka tried a straight ball over the top in front.
He wanted to send Inzaghi a through ball against offside, but his ball failed to get past Cannavaro's head, Inzaghi rushed behind Cannavaro and immediately stopped, and he couldn't help but sigh when he saw Cannavaro's header cleared.
The game took a turn in the 25th minute of the first half.
Seedorf's long-range shot up front was blocked by Ramos with his body, and the ball that bounced into the midfield fell at the feet of Guti, who stopped the ball and turned and passed it to Sneijder.
Sneijder dribbled the ball forward from the left flank, and when he got in front of Odo, he crossed the ball to Qin Xiong, who was cut in behind.
Get ahead of Ambrosini. Qin Xiong was the first to touch the ball, and the moment he touched the ball. He just rushed forward and put the ball back with his heel.
At this time, Ambrosini had already lost the opportunity to keep an eye on Qin Xiong, and Qin Xiong ran forward without slowing down.
The football behind him was knocked away by him with his heel, and Guti, who was rushed up, passed straight again with the arch of his foot, and the football rolled towards Qin Xiong from behind him again.
Gattuso had decided to block Qin Xiong with a sliding tackle, but Qin Xiong stopped to wait for the ball, and after the ball rolled over, he kicked the ball again and passed it diagonally to the right wing.
Robben, who cut inside the box from the right wing, slotted the ball with his left foot into the box!
Kaladze reached out diagonally to steal the ball at Robben's feet. Robben flicked the ball inside with his left foot, and then Kaladze's outstretched foot tripped his right foot, and Robben fell into the AC Milan box!
The San Siro Stadium erupted in shocking boos!
Rossoneri fans excitedly scolded Robben for faking a fall!
But at this time, the referee's whistle blew and he pointed to the penalty spot. And without hesitation, a yellow card was shown to Karadze!
Karadze argued to the referee with some excitement, believing that Robben's fall was exaggerated and performative.
"Penalty! Real Madrid were awarded a penalty just after halfway through the first half.
Robben received Qin Xiong's diagonal pass into the penalty area, and he was tripped by Kaladze and fell to the ground, Kaladze seemed to think that Robben was faking a fall, and Robben seemed to be fine after standing up.
Let's take a look at slow-motion replay.
Oh, and Karazek did have physical contact with Robben, and his foot tripped Robben's right foot, but Robben's fall was a bit exaggerated.
The penalty should be uncontroversial though. ”
Robben stood up and walked outside, ignoring the accusations and protests of the AC Milan players.
He seemed right.
As a player who eats by skill, he is a glass man himself, and injuries have had a serious impact.
He has to know how to protect himself.
If someone violates him, he can honestly stand and never fall, and he can fall down normally without exaggeration, then it is difficult for him to guarantee that he will receive a reasonable punishment for every violation.
He just wants to make the opponent dare not foul him, afraid of using lethal tactics and reaping the consequences.
Compared to his own health, he doesn't care about being blamed by outsiders at all.
It is true that he was exaggerated when he fell just now, but he was indeed touched by his opponent, and since he did, then he also had a clear conscience.
The Real Madrid crowd stood outside the box and stared at Raul's back as the Lord of the Rings came to take the penalty.
Goalkeeper Karachi tried to keep himself calm in the face of Raul, but when Raul volleyed the ball towards goal, he clearly showed his inner nervousness.
Karachi misjudged the direction and just took a step to the right, turning his head to look to the left without even making a save.
Raul took the penalty and fired a volley into the AC Milan goal! (To be continued......)
