Chapter 199: Away Battle of San Siro (2)

Simeone's roar reminded the Atletico players of the manager's arrangement, not allowing the opponent to get up, fouling if he can't prevent it, and even eating cards.

As a result, Atletico's defensive actions began to increase, resolutely stopping AC Milan's attack.

In the 20th minute, Suya received a yellow card for tackling the opponent's full-back Desiglio, which almost caused a conflict between the two sides.

Seeing such a scene, Simeone on the sidelines was also loudly avenging Insua, but he was secretly happy in his heart, as long as the game became intermittent, AC Milan's just improved offensive collapsed invisibly.

In the 24th minute, Poli was brought down by Raul Garcia in the box, but the referee believed that Raul Garcia had tackled the ball first and refused to award a penalty, which caused some verbal altercation between the two sides.

In the 26th minute, Desiglio, who had been tackled by Insua before, took the initiative to say to Seedorf that he could no longer insist on the game, and was replaced by Abate, it seems that he did suffer a little injury before.

At this time, San Siro was even more booed.

The back-and-forth between the two sides and the interruption of the game meant that AC Milan created some chances.

In the 30th minute, Balotelli took the ball in the penalty area and immediately knocked the ball back with his heel, Kaka followed up with a powerful volley, and the ball grazed the crossbar and flew out of the bottom line.

The Italian commentator was fully excited: "Kaka is always Kaka, even if the Spaniard tries to disrupt the game with fouls, he can still create a threat, Milan continue to attack like this, they are more than capable of knocking out their opponents to advance." ”

In fact, AC Milan's attack has lost its continuity, there is no sustained attack, and Atletico Madrid have begun to look for opportunities to counter-attack.

In the 36th minute, Juanfran inserted a cross, Turan missed at the front post, and Ringer followed up with a push at the back post.

It was a good chance, but the new Abate reacted quickly and flew to tackle the ball but the ball hit his calf and deflected off the post.

In the 39th minute, Costa counter-attacked in front of the field, and immediately shot from a distance after breaking the ball at the feet of Essien, this time the goal was very sudden after the counter-robbery, and the opposing goalkeeper Abbiati did not react at all, but unfortunately Costa missed the ball.

The first half ended 0-0, with both sides having some performances and scoring opportunities, but neither could take them.

At half-time, Simeone praised the performance of the whole team in the dressing room: "You guys are doing very well, let's continue to play like this, don't let them play continuously, so that even if we lose, it will be a small defeat at most, and we will do a lot when we come back at home." ”

"And with the situation going on, there's a good chance that we won't even lose this game."

The commentary on Yang Ma's side is also summing up: "A score of 0:0 should be a favorable score for Atletico Madrid, and Atletico Madrid has never lost at home this season." In fact, so far this season, only Barcelona team has managed to keep a clean sheet against Atletico de Calderón, and no other team has ever been able to pick up a point from Calderón from Atletico. So if they can draw with AC Milan at the San Siro, it will be a very favorable result for Atletico Madrid. ”

After the start of the second half, the scene was a little flat.

In the 50th minute, the first shot of the second half came on goal.

Gabby crossed from the right and Ringer ran past Bonella to get a chance to open the spot, but the ball was almost overhead and he didn't hesitate to jump up and hit a barb.

Unfortunately, the barb was not so easy to hit, and Ringer couldn't hold the ball down and hit it high.

Five minutes later, Koke hoisted the ball in front of goal after linking up with Gabi's pass down the middle, and Ringer burst in from the left and followed up to meet the ball with a volley that flew straight over Abbiati's head into the net.

Ringer was about to celebrate, but saw that the linesman's flag had been raised.

"Hey, did you see clearly, this is not offside at all." Ringer immediately went over to protest.

"The ball is right in front of me and I can see it clearly." The linesman replied simply.

TMD!

Ringer felt that he had a good timing of his insertion, how could he be offside? But the referee here seemed to be very sure of his decision, so he couldn't help but curse, and then was pulled away by the captain Gabi.

The others didn't know the meaning of Ringer's Chinese phrase, but Ringer's teammates had been with Ringer for a while, and they knew the meaning of this Chinese phrase very well.

If the referee knew the meaning of Ringer's swearing, he would have to get a yellow card.

Well, sometimes it's important to know more than one language.

'Ringer, he started the first half very well, but as AC Milan went on the attack, he was a bit quiet. Now at the start of the second half, he has become one of the most positive in the Atletico team, just this goal is a little bit off, according to the replay, he is offside by half a position at most, otherwise it would be a good goal. Yang Ma's commentary continued to speak for Ringer.

In the 67th minute, AC Milan relied on counter-attacking opportunities, De Jong advanced with the ball in succession and gave the ball to Kaka in front of the penalty area, and Kaka's long-range shot was slightly off the post.

'Kaka maybe got a grain of sand in his boots today and his shot was a little bit worse every time. The Italian commentary is also second strange.

The situation on the pitch became evenly matched again, and no one had a chance to break the deadlock for the time being.

Simeone on the sidelines is already asking to slow down the tempo and get a draw at the San Siro is a perfectly acceptable result.

Although AC Milan head coach Seedorf did not ask for recycling, he also did not ask for the intention of pressing the attack, and seemed to be satisfied with the situation.

In fact, he can only play with Atletico Madrid on his home turf, and although Seedorf only took over the team halfway, he already basically knows the outcome of the team.

In other words, Seedorf was already thinking in his heart that if he wanted to eliminate Atletico Madrid to advance, he could only pray that Atletico would suddenly be in poor form in the second leg, or that Atletico would suddenly make some major mistakes.

As the minutes ticked by, the San Siro fans cheered and the intensity of the scene was much more flat than in the first half, where both sides had plenty of chances to score, which were rarely seen in the second half.

In the 78th minute, Ringer also returned to midfield to participate in defending and passing, and now Simeone asked to slow down the tempo, and Ringer also returned to midfield.

AC Milan had the ball, they continued to reverse the ball in midfield and try to find a chance, but the Atletico defence did not give them a chance, as was the case since the second half.

Bashen had no chance after taking the ball again, and passed the ball back to Kaka under the pressure of Gabi, Ringer was not far from Kaka, and as soon as he saw that the ball had a chance, he immediately accelerated and rushed up.

Balotelli's return pass was a bit soft on its own, and Ringer suddenly poked it up on his toes and cut it away from Kaka.

"Lin's sudden robbery~~~ broke the ball!!"

After the ball was broken, Ringer accelerated and started to push quickly along the left side.

After only advancing more than 20 meters, he was intercepted by Polly, and Ringer changed direction to the right in the middle of the dribble, avoiding the opponent's upper grab.

"Lin~~ changed direction and avoided Polly!!"

After changing direction, Ringer entered a crowded area in the middle, Essien and Bonella came up together, and Ringer changed direction to the right again.

"Lin~~Continuous sharp change of direction to the right~~ Continuous dodging of defenders!!"

"He's so unstoppable, it seems like he's going to knock down Milan's defense by himself!!"

After a series of sharp changes to the right, Ringer had come alive and rushed from the left to the right.

From the fan stands, Ringer broke the ball on the left side of the midfield near the touchline, and in a few seconds, he continuously changed to the right to avoid the defenders and went directly to the right side of the front.

Ringer's solo dribbling ball made a mess of AC Milan's defence, and almost everyone who was still at the back was attracted to him, and they continued to chase Ringer for a block.

Arriving on the right side of the pitch, Ringer faced Emanuelsson and Frenkie de Jong first, two Dutchman blocks.

Ringer appeared to dribble into the box, with De Jong following him close and Emmanuelsen preparing to block his shot.

Ringer suddenly slowed down while dribbling the ball, and lifted his foot to hit the goal, but it was a smash and dunked the ball back. De Jong and Emanuelson immediately made defensive moves, De Jong tackled directly towards Ringer, and Emmanulsen blocked Ringer's shot.

After the ball was dunked back, Ringer did not hesitate to push the pass with his left foot, and as soon as the ball was passed, he was tackled to the ground by De Jong.

"Lin~~ fake shot real buckle!!"

"Beautiful pass~~ There is Costa following up at the back point!!"

Ringer's goal has been achieved, after continuous dribbling and advancement, almost all the AC Milan defenders have been attracted, at this time he actually has no very good way to hit the goal, and passing the ball to his teammates who follow up is the best choice.

Ringer's continuous advancement, even Abbiati has been attracted, standing at the end of the near post to watch Ringer's shot, so Costa, who is inserted at the back point, meets the ball and pushes it, which is most of the empty goal. The ball flew into the goal without incident.

“Goooooool~~~~”

"Costa scores, the Sheets finally break the deadlock!!"

"Lin's assist~~ This is a nanny assist from Lin, he spans half the field, a midfield to the front, a quick advance with the ball from the left to the right, he dodges the defenders in a row, and finally sends a nanny assist to Costa!!"

Costa excitedly rushed over to Ringer to celebrate, but Ringer was a little uninterested and didn't want to celebrate.

At this time, there was also a buzz in the stands of San Siro.

"Is that guy wearing the wrong jersey, how do I feel like Kaka is breaking through with the ball."

"I remember that Kaka used to break through with the ball in a wide range like this."

"That guy is still a long run from the ball in front of Kaka."

~~~

Amid the uproar, Atletico's celebration finally came to an end, and the game time entered 80 minutes.

Without Seedorf's arrangement, the AC Milan players began to fight back aggressively. They can accept a draw at home, in the 06/07 Champions League, AC Milan was forced to draw 2:2 at home by Bayern, and the opponent also scored two away goals, but AC Milan defeated the opponent 2:0 away to advance to the next round.

But if you lose at home, it will be really difficult to turn the tables, and only two teams in the decades history of the Champions League have managed to turn the tables away from home.

AC Milan stepped up their preparations to attack and fight for the last hand, but they were still accumulating their strength before they were blinded.

After the restart, Balotelli rushed with the ball in a rush of action, seemingly trying to replicate Ringer's goal, but Gabi knocked him to the ground, causing a recurrence of an old shoulder injury.

This was Milan's second injury substitution of the game, and this time it was the team's most important striker who was injured.

Under the blow of this incident, although AC Milan made substitutions to strengthen the attack, they could not even play a decent attack, and the game was over.
