With the referee's whistle, the much-anticipated Serie A focus battle began.

AC Milan's Ibrahimovic drove the ball back into his own half and then straight into the heart of the Juventus side.

And after Kante got the ball, he also distributed the ball to the right and let Salah rush forward with the ball.

As the ball moved forward, all three of Milan's lines followed.

Even two wing-backs, Antonini and Zambrotta, have crossed the halfway line.

In Milan's own half, apart from the goalkeeper, there are only two central defenders.

"Ah, Milan started with a bit of an anti-guest game, which was a bit different from our pre-match predictions. Director Zhang, what do you think? ”

In the live broadcast signal of CCTV5, Duan Xuan's commentary voice also echoed in the ears of all Dragon Country fans.

For such an important game, the national sports station that has always broadcast Serie A will naturally not let it go.

Then Zhang Lu's voice said: "Hehe, this is indeed a bit unexpected." Milan's aggressive momentum looks like they are intent on seizing the initiative at Juventus Arena. We originally thought that AC Milan are now four points ahead of the standings, and today is an away game, so we should focus on defense, and getting a point is a victory, but we didn't expect it to ......."

At this time, Milan also completed the first attack after the opening.

Salah picked up the ball on the flank, first with a quick stop, then with a sudden start to try to force his way through Vidal, who had returned to the defence.

But the hard-nosed Chilean midfielder dropped straight to the ground and sent Salah to the ground.

With no additional action, Salah just silently got up and played the throw-in to Zambrotta.

Zambrotta saw that Juve's midfield was defending tightly, so he went straight to Ibrahimovic in the penalty area.

Ibrahimovic barely flicked his head at Bonucci's close watch and the ball was easily reached by Buffon.

Zhang Lu: "Judging from this defense, Conte's Juventus team is definitely the best in the world. The five people in the midfield completely limit Milan's breakthrough space, and the air defense ability of the three central defenders is not false, and it feels like Milan's rush attack has no effect. ”

Duan Xuan: "I think too." Hearing about Milan's tactics now, my country's coach Pan Yi is very involved, and Guardiola and even Allegri have mentioned this. Director Zhang, have you studied Pan Yi's usual tactics? Is this rush that opened today from his hand? ”

Zhang Lu: "Hehe, it's not easy to see. I watched these games in Milan and the only thing I felt was that there were a lot of changes, and the targeted deployment in the game was also very detailed. But if you look at the young coach's refusal to admit defeat, the opening two shots may really be Pan Yi's suggestion. After all, if it were Allegri, he would probably be more stable......"

Milan's attack didn't have much effect, but the players were clearly patient.

After a few back-to-the-back kicks, he began to reorganize the attack.

This time it was from the left, with Sadio Mane taking the ball to the flanks and ready to cut inside.

However, Juventus remained solid, with Lichtsteiner on the right side coming in to defend, Marchisio paying attention to cutting off Mane's pass, and Barzagli and Leonardo Bonucci in the back were ready to make up for it.

Mane had no choice but to try to force a breakthrough.

But Lichtsteiner was in good position and cut the ball off the corner of the box.

Juventus then immediately launched a counter-attack without hesitation.

This is exactly the opportunity that Conte has been waiting for.

Lichtsteiner immediately handed the ball to their midfield engine, Andrea Pirlo.

Pirlo only took a brief look and made a long pass to the Juventus striker.

Andrea Pirlo's long ball was on target, and Vucinic was in front of him for the first spot, but Milan's Virgil van Dijk had already squeezed in to interfere from behind.

Vucinic couldn't turn around for a moment and had to return the ball to Pato.

At this time, Pato was about 35 meters away from Milan's goal, but he chose to kick it directly!

The ball flew high off the pitch and landed in the fan zone behind, causing an exclamation from the Juventus fans at the scene.

Conte, who was on the sidelines, shook his head.

He was a little confused, how did this Brazilian kid, who was still full of spirit last season, suddenly become brainless and unhappy when he transferred to his own team this year?

Obviously, you can cooperate with Vucinic again, or you can use your speed to pull a side cross, why did you come to such a kick and waste this hard-won counterattack opportunity?

With this kind of distance, it is not necessarily certain that Pirlo will come to bomb, let alone Pato, who is not good at long-range shots?

Conte was speechless, but Pan Yi was happy.

He could see that Pato wanted to express himself very much today.

And for a striker, scoring a goal is a time when the coaches, players, and fans of his old club can seriously see his performance.

So when there's a shot in front of Pato, he wants to grab it right away and convert it into a real goal.

But it is precisely because of this mentality that a young guy like Pato is a little impetuous, but he can't correctly judge the situation on the field, and even affects the control of footwork.

This shot illustrates that.

If Pato still plays on the pitch with such a mentality, Juve's two strikers will effectively lose their arms, and the pressure on Milan's defense will be greatly reduced.

Another Montenegrin striker, Vucinic, has a good sense of coordination as a whole, with good technique and flexibility at his feet, but his shooting skills are average.

Even in a season when Juve won consecutive titles, it was difficult for him to score more than 10 goals in a season.

So his threat isn't really great.

Juventus' real attacking power often comes from the midfield, especially Pirlo's long-pass organization.

So Pan Yi's breakthrough point in this game is Pirlo.

Milan's attacking attempt at the beginning was actually Pan Yi's test of Juve's defensive focus today, and to see if they would still play Pirlo when counterattacking.

After confirming this point, Pan Yi's targeting tactics for this game began to slowly unfold......

The two sides have already begun to fight fiercely in the midfield, and the ball has changed hands frequently.

Vidal played the ball to Andrea Pirlo, but Milan's N'Golo Kante was prepared, scrambling to cut the ball off and then pass it to Gattuso.

However, Gattuso could not control the ball well before Juventus' Marchisio poked the ball away.

Pirlo got the ball, took a few steps and was about to pass the ball when Boateng behind him came over and tackled him to the ground......

The time was spent in the exchange of balls between the two teams near the halfway line, and the game was tight and fast-paced, but neither was able to produce another dangerous shot after the opening two shots.

Sidelines.

Conte watched the game, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, thoughtful:

"Why do I think Milan is a bit weird tonight?"

"In the past, they either played quick counter-attacks or just pushed straight through."

"Today it was just the opening attack, and then it kept pestering us in the midfield, what do you want to do?"
