Chapter 84: The Wicked Need the Wicked

"Everyone played really well today and I'm satisfied!"

In the home team's dressing room, head coach Allegri praised his players.

'We outplayed the mighty Real Madrid throughout the first half and the two-goal lead showed that.

"Whether it's Boateng and Salah who score, or Zambrotta and Kante who assist, or Sadio Mane and Ibrahimovic...... You're all doing great! ”

"Give us a round of applause for our amazing performance!"

The locker room burst into applause.

"N'Golo Kante in particular." Pan Yi also said with a smile, and his eyes also fell on Kante, who was wiping sweat.

Kante heard his coach mention his name, quickly looked up, and then smiled coyly.

Gattuso, who was sitting next to Kante, also patted Kante on the head hard to express his appreciation for the little black man.

N'Golo Kante's performance in the first half was seen by everyone.

The first is that he completely froze Kaka, the core of Real Madrid's attack, so that the midfield engine completely failed, which led to Real Madrid's various offensive stretches.

Secondly, N'Golo Kante was able to make time for possession transitions and some key passes while completing defensive duties, and Mohamed Salah's goal came from his direct assist.

If you had to choose the best player of the first half, it would be N'Golo Kante.

'Because of your brilliant performance, Mourinho will probably bring Kaka off in the second half. Pan Yi looked at Kante and smiled, "Then you don't have to be so tired in the second half, and you don't have to follow Kaka to the toilet." ”

Everyone laughed.

At the pre-match preparation meeting, Pan Yi said to Kante:

"In this game, you are responsible for keeping an eye on Kaka, you will go wherever he goes, even if he goes to the toilet, you will follow!"

N'Golo Kante undoubtedly did the job perfectly.

Pan Yi even suspected that if he didn't remind Kante now that he could not keep an eye on Kaka, when Kaka was substituted, the upright Kante would follow him to the opposing bench to stare at him......

"But you can't relax." Pan Yi continued, "Mourinho is likely to bring on Shahein and play with Alonso and Khedira in a midfield three, or a back three. We also need to cut them off from the front court. ”

This is Pan Yi's judgment based on the situation between the two sides in the first half.

Real Madrid's restriction in the midfield position means that there is one less person in the midfield and the competition is completely out of control, so Mourinho is likely to change his style of play.

Although Shahin can also play in midfield, he is more likely to be in a midfield position and strengthen the defense in midfield.

Doing so, although it can be regarded as a declaration of Mourinho's negation of his starting lineup and tactics, but now that he is going to lose, where does he care so much?

Moreover, strengthening the midfield defense does not mean giving up the attack.

On the contrary, after filling the holes in the midfield, Mourinho can make the front trident more free to attack.

Falling behind by two goals in the first leg is unacceptable for Real Madrid!

"This season, Shahein hasn't played much, and he doesn't have a lot of familiarity with his Real Madrid team-mates."

"Therefore, after he comes on the field, we have to take advantage of their unstable foothold, directly launch a rush attack, and catch them off guard!"

"Grab one more goal and make them desperate!"

Pan Yi slammed his hand on the tactical board, which also caused a warm response from the Milan players:

"Good!"

"a few more of them!"

"I'm tired of fighting us at San Siro!"

"Let them see how good we are! ……”

And when it was almost halftime and the players began to walk outside the locker room, Pan Yi grabbed Ibrahimovic again:

"That Pepe, I've always had poor emotional control. Thou...... You know what I mean, right? ”

Yi Bu squeezed his eyes at Pan Yi: "I understand." ”

Pan Yi lifted his feet and patted Yibu's shoulder: "Then you have to pay attention to your emotions and don't put yourself in it." ”

Eevee smiled: "I know better." It's not us who are lagging behind, what am I anxious about? ”

……

Soon after the start of the second half, Mourinho made a substitution.

However, he didn't just replace Kaka with Shahin, he also replaced Benzema with Higuain.

Perhaps the boss was also a little unhappy with Benzema being completely restrained by Van Dijk in the first half.

When Kaka left the pitch, the San Siro fans all stood up and gave the former Milan golden boy a long round of applause.

Kaka joined Milan in 2003 at the age of 21 from Sao Paulo, Brazil, and has won five trophies in six years, including the 2004 Italian Serie A championship and the 2007 UEFA Champions League.

It can be said that he is a god in the hearts of a generation of Milan fans, and there are countless fans who have fallen in love with Milan because of him.

Now that the god is back at the San Siro, it is only natural that the Milan fans will applaud him as a token of their affection for this child.

And after Kaka went down, Real Madrid really changed the formation to 433, and Shahin also stood in the back position.

Milan also launched a rush at this time, as arranged at half-time.

Thiago Silva played the ball down the middle and Kante picked up the ball and went straight to Mohamed Salah on the right.

Salah accelerated to dribble away from Marcelo, who had come over to defend him, before cutting inside to try to hit the goal.

That's when Real Madrid's back three came to fruition, and although the two centre-backs hadn't had time to come over to defend, one of the midfielders, Shahin, was already in place to block Salah's shot.

So Salah came with a fake shot and a real pass.

He slammed a left-footed smash, shook a slight angle, and sent a half-high cross with his right foot.

In the middle of the six-yard box, Ibrahimovic is tangled with Pepe.

Suddenly, Ibu screamed, covered his face and collapsed.

When the whistle blew, Pepe spread his hands innocently, indicating that it was none of my business.

There is no such high-tech thing as VAR in this time period, and the referee immediately felt that Pepe had committed a foul, but after seeing his expression, he felt a little uncertain, so he ran to the linesman to confirm.

And the linesman said very firmly: It was indeed Pepe who knocked Ibra down, and he also hit Ibrahim with his elbow!

The referee's whistle blew again and he pointed to the penalty spot.

Milan won a penalty!

And before it was over, the referee showed Pepe another yellow card.

Two yellows turned into one red, and Pepe was sent off!

And Pan Yi, who was standing on the sidelines, showed an imperceptible smile on his face.

He saw the conflict very clearly.

At first, Ibrahimovic and Pepe hugged each other, but the two of them made moves with each other, and strictly speaking, anyone could be fouled.

But when Salah passed, Ibrahimovic grabbed Pepe's hand and touched his face, and then fell to the ground.

This deceived the referee and linesman and allowed Real Madrid to enjoy the red dot package.

Well, the warrior monk Pepe has been famous for many years, and he has always been the only one to do someone else's part, and today he was finally killed by the more cunning Eevee.

Sure enough, the wicked still need the wicked to grind......
