Chapter Forty-Nine: Turning Lazio Headlong [Asking for Tickets, Asking for Reading!] 】
Leon was ultimately unable to score the second goal of his career against Catania.
But his powerful rush to the top was successful in disrupting Catania's defence.
The commentator who intended to broadcast the live broadcast of the game at Sky Sports said that is:
"The two battering rams of Leon and Big Boateng have successfully stunned Catania's defenders!"
Allegri's attacking routine is actually simple and brutal.
In the first half, Leon and Boateng took turns to attack Catania's defence, and waited for the opponent's defenders to be severely depleted.
In the second half, the two strikers who have plenty of energy and fitness will dominate the attack.
To put it bluntly, it's a wheel war, but the effect of the fight is really good.
Because Leon and Big Boateng can indeed run, it is good to drag down Catania's defenders first.
And Ibrahimovic and Pato's individual ability is indeed very strong, and if they seize the opportunity, they can score, and Catania really can't prevent it.
Looking at Li Ang, who was still able to run around in the midfield in the second half, the fans of other Serie A teams watching the game were really envious and jealous.
"Milan is so lucky that they can rent such a midfielder for a salary of more than 200,000 yuan for half a season."
"That's because Milan and Real Madrid have a good relationship, otherwise they can rent a lion cub at the price of cabbage?"
"Why didn't we try it first, TMD, then we all thought that Real Madrid would not easily let Leon go out on loan, and our team may not have been contacted!"
"Don't think about it, this kind of big club youth training loan is also a priority for a team with good strength, which strong team are you Juventus now? Let's go back to the European theater first. ”
“??? Are you Rome strong? It's just five points more than us, what are you pretending! ”
"One more point is higher than yours, don't accept the next time you meet and fight again!"
"Fight, fight, we're afraid of you!"
......
In the discussion of the gradually crooked building, the improvement effect that Leon has brought to Milan at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends has also been recognized by countless Serie A fans.
And watched Milan win the next clean sheet 2-0 victory.
These fans also lamented that they turned off the TV.
Five wins in a row!
Since Leon joined AC Milan on loan, Milan, who only lost to Roma, has won five consecutive victories and is already at the top of the table!
However, just as Milan fans were celebrating wildly, some contrarian media jumped out of place.
"Lazio will be a stumbling block in Milan's way!" 》
"In the first four key battles, Lazio is bound to attack with all his might! 》
"Blue Eagle's determination, Milan needs to be vigilant!" 》
Similar reports appeared one after another before the big battle between Milan and Lazio.
And all Serie A fans who are unhappy because of Milan's recent strong record have also echoed the praise.
Looking at the trend of public opinion, it seems that Lazio has exploded and will win.
Whether Lazio FC and their own fans want it or not.
Lazio have been pushed into the public opinion of sniping Milan.
Under the attention of almost all Italian sports media, on the evening of February 2, Milan sat at the San Siro and finally ushered in the league focus match with Lazio.
The atmosphere of the big game is very strong, and the expectations of fans from all sides are also very high by the media.
But in fact, Milan and Lazio, who only got two days off after playing the last round of the league, have no intention of playing against each other at all.
When the game started, Milan was in their own half and Lazio was also in their own half, and the players on both sides stared at each other.
Allegri and Lazio's boss Edreja both scolded each other.
The difference is just a scolding old fox and a scolding little fox.
Both sides are waiting to fight each other's counterattack, but they are both very cautious, refusing to easily press out and risk making up space.
As a result, a dreary defensive battle that tormented countless fans began at the San Siro.
Milan fans booed Lazio and ridiculed them for not having the courage to attack, and Lazio fans also booed Milan and ridiculed Milan for setting up buses at home.
But their boos did not affect the players of either team in the field.
After all, the starters on both sides have only fought one game in the first two days, and this physical fitness has not eased up, so it would be good to be able to hold on well and not concede the ball.
How can there be any spare strength to press on and play against the attack.
It's just that in comparison, there are more players on the bench on Milan's side, especially in the midfield.
Van Bommel, Seedorf who has recovered from injury, Flamini.
There were three midfielders on the Milan bench, covering all positions in the front, center and back of the midfield.
Allegri has to change his moves, and his hole cards will be more sufficient.
In addition, compared with Lazio, Milan is more dominant in the individual ability of the striker.
The dominance of the midfield at the back is not reflected at all.
Lazio squeezed their 30-meter area tightly, whether you attack or not, there are so many people piled up behind, and they don't easily press out and kick you for a few rounds.
This made Allegri feel a little regretful that "heroes are useless".
Glancing at the veteran coach Edreja who was sitting firmly in the Diaoyutai again, Allegri snorted coldly, and then took the lead in making tactical adjustments in the 30th minute of the first half.
After a simple gesture, my uncle sat back on the bench satisfied.
Now it was Edreja's turn to stand on the sidelines and watch.
Three minutes later, Pato, who had advanced with the ball in the middle of Lazio, bravely slammed into the dense defensive zone.
As soon as Lazio midfielder Hernanes went up to fight against him, Pato slipped directly and smoothly to the ground!
Before Hernanes could react to what had happened, the referee, who was standing nearby, blew the whistle.
"Go up, go up! Leon, Thiago, and Kevin! ”
Allegri was excited, rushed to the sideline and opened his throat and roared.
Milan, Nesta, Thiago Silva, Leon, Boateng, Ibrahimovic......
One tall player after another or a master of the header squeezed into the tight area at the edge of the Lazio penalty area.
Edreja slapped his thigh, feeling that Allegri didn't really want to shake hands with him, people are here for this!
Playing set-pieces and header bombing, is there any play in Milan?
It may not have much effect with Inter and Napoli in the top four, but for Lazio, it is another way of saying it.
Lazio's centre-back Biava will be a little unsure.
He is 1.8 meters tall, although he has a good set of ground defense, but when it comes to heading the ball, he looks at the big Boateng who is pressing on his side, and he really has no bottom in his heart.
But if it will work or not, we have to go up first.
Biava wrapped himself around Big Boateng, pulling his shirt and pulling his arm.
As a result, it wasn't until Pirlo took this free-kick on the left side of the pitch that he found out that his opponent had changed!
Da Boateng stood in place and basically didn't move much, and the one who squeezed into the penalty area with Biava suddenly became Leang!
"Mine!"
Glancing at the slightly hurried Biava, Leon did not respect the old and love the young at all, and pressed the 33-year-old veteran central defender under him.
With a muffled roar, Leon shook his head at the back point against the incoming ball, and before he could see the flight trajectory of the football, he fell on the turf.
Lazio were in chaos in the box, but their goalkeeper Muslera did not lose his composure.
The Uruguayan international used an extraordinary reaction to block Leon's header with one arm.
But then, Ibrahimovic, who followed up from the middle, subconsciously stretched out his foot to block the supplementary shot, and he couldn't save it!
The football crashed into the net without the slightest suspense, and the Milan fans at the San Siro also cheered wildly at this moment!
The Lazio fans were silent.
They never expected that Milan's first set-piece in the first half would successfully break the balance on the field!
And at this moment, countless third-party fans also looked at Li Ang, who was excitedly hugged by his teammates.
This kid turned Lazio over with one head!
