"Jose Mourinho's team, it seems that they really came out today."

Zhan Jun's commentary voice sounded:

"I wonder if it was affected by the pre-game war of words?"

"At the press conference, my country's coach Pan Yi also rarely mocked Mu Shuai's defensive counterattack play, is this really effective?"

"We all know that Mu Shuai is a man of temperament, maybe Pan Yi just wants to take advantage of this and let Mu Shuai fight against him?"

"And according to what we know about Coach Pan Yi, once the opponent falls into his trap, it may not be too comfortable......"

On the pitch now, Real Madrid seem to have taken control of the game.

Their players are all very active, especially a few stars in the midfield, and even pressed Milan's half all the time, pressing Milan's midfielders and defenders up front.

However, Milan's players don't look flustered.

They pass the ball skillfully.

It's not just horizontal, it's more depth.

When Real Madrid's forward line presses over, Milan's centre-backs will pass the ball diagonally to the other side, which is the area where Real Madrid's defense is relatively weak.

At this point, Milan's midfielders will start to link up with the wingers and then wait for the opportunity to attack.

Only one person is an exception.

Canter.

He didn't seem to be fixed in his midfielder position today, but transformed into a ball-grabbing machine.

He ran tirelessly in midfield, cutting off Real Madrid's passing lanes and pressing close to the ball carriers.

Especially against the opponent's No. 8 forward Kaka.

Whenever Kaka has the ball, Kante will be the first to make it difficult for Kaka to turn around and pass the ball, let alone create space for himself to burst forward – which is what Kaka does best.

'Why do I always feel like we're in control of the game, but Milan actually want us to do that?'

On the sidelines, Real Madrid's assistant coach said with some concern.

"We'll see it later." Mourinho also frowned.

Of course, he can see that although Real Madrid currently have more possession, the coordination is a bit fragmented when it comes to the front, and it is difficult to play an effective attack.

The main thing is that the connection between the forward midfielders and the wingers is completely severed.

According to Mourinho's vision, the defensive system against Milan has developed supporting tactics around specific player Kaka.

When a winger holds the ball on the wing, the striker Kaka will move forward to the parallel height of the centre-forward, creating a double striker fulcrum, while they will lean towards the side with the ball, disrupting the lateral balance of the opposition backline.

At this point, centre-forward Benzema retreated to the flank of midfield to pick up the weak centre-backs who were marking behind him, and at the same time opened up space between him and the weak-sided full-backs.

Kaka's wide cut then takes the centre-back on the side of the ball further away to the wing, causing a certain degree of lateral compression and overlap between the centre-back and the full-back on the side with the ball.

After the winger completes the triangle pass with the receiving center forward and the midfielder, he quickly cuts inside and inserts into the open area between the two central defenders of the opponent, or the empty area behind the weak central defender, and receives the straight plug or overhead ball from the back to complete the attack.

But the problem now is that when Kaka is holding the ball, or even running without the ball, there is a dog skin plaster next to him all the time, so that Kaka can't complete the tactical instructions correctly, so the next series of operations are impossible.

At this time, Real Madrid finally seized a chance.

In midfield, after Khedira broke the ball, the front court quickly played a counter-attack.

Kaka took advantage of Kante's absence to pick up the ball and suddenly started it, and after walking for about ten meters, he split the ball to the right side.

Cristiano Ronaldo took the ball to Zambrotta, made a feint to pedal a bicycle and then suddenly accelerated to the bottom line, and sent the cross into the penalty area.

Benzema, in the middle, headed the ball in the middle and was saved by Ederson.

There was applause at the San Siro stadium, certainly dedicated to the Milan goalkeeper.

"If only this goal had gone in." Mourinho exhaled lightly.

Indeed, now Real Madrid have the upper hand, and if they can score a goal first, they can better control the situation in their own hands.

The assistant coach nodded.

But he didn't dare to say a word.

That is: this offensive opportunity is what they are best at counter-attacking.

It is because Milan was in an attacking state before, although Kante has been guarding Kaka, but he will also adjust his position according to the direction of the ball.

At this time, Milan was suddenly cut off the ball, and Kante was unable to return to his position in time for a while.

It was by taking advantage of this gap that Kaka was able to comfortably hold the ball and organize an effective attack.

It's just that the assistant coach now knows that Mourinho is bent on using attacks to defeat Milan tonight, so if he suggests a counter-attack or something, it will obviously be a bit out of place.

It is even possible to trigger the wrath of Mourinho - this temperamental coach could really lose his temper with his coach and even the team doctor on the field.

Moreover, after all, he is only an assistant coach, although he is a little worried, but he still believes in Mu Shuai's judgment that Real Madrid will eventually get a chance to score with such offensive tactics.

……

The game was quickly played for 20 minutes.

During this time, although the two sides looked like they were attacking each other, the camera showed more of a fight in the midfield, and in fact, neither created an absolute scoring chance.

"You can consider attacking Ronaldo's side." Pan Yi said to Allegri suddenly.

Allegri squinted at the situation on the field and nodded.

Now Real Madrid's forward Kaka is completely limited by N'Golo Kante, which makes it difficult for Ronaldo to get a comfortable through pass from Kaka.

And Milan's defenders watched Ronaldo's bottom cross very hard, which also made Ronaldo play very unsmoothly.

After a few unsuccessful attempts to break down the wing, Ronaldo began to consciously move closer to the ribs and the middle to receive the ball.

And after he leaned over to this side, Real Madrid's right wing-back Arbeloa also followed in, seeking to cooperate with Ronaldo.

As a result, Real Madrid's entire right-hand corridor is a bit empty.

At Allegri's behest, Pan Yi stood up.

Taking advantage of a throw-in, he passed the coaching staff's instructions to the pitch.

In the 25th minute, Ronaldo got the ball in the middle.

He moved the ball in the opposite direction and approached Milan's penalty area diagonally.

This is also his specialty, which is to shoot directly with his feet after cutting inside.

But Gattuso was prepared, stuck in Ronaldo's path and stretched out his foot to intercept the ball.

As soon as Real Madrid conceded the goal, all the players quickly switched to defensive mode and settled into position one after another.

But Cristiano Ronaldo and Arbeloa are a bit far away from their defence at this point.

Gattuso didn't hesitate to pass the ball to left winger Sadio Mane.

Mane advanced with the ball, and it turned out to be a flat straight to the corner of the Real Madrid penalty area.

Real Madrid centre-back Sergio Ramos rushed over to defend, but it was a little late.

Mane had already taken a few steps sideways and then shot straight at goal!
