Chapter 85: Young Benzema (Four More Subscriptions!) )
With a two-goal lead in the first half, Milan dominated the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals.
Although there is still half time left in the game, for Milan, they are playing at home, they are in control of the situation, and they will certainly not let Lyon turn the tables.
"When defending, you have to be clean, don't make dangerous moves, try not to foul!"
Gattuso kept shouting loudly.
Juninho's two free-kicks from the previous leg left Milan feeling uneasy, and they certainly couldn't afford to give the Brazilian such a chance.
"Wow~Ivan, good man~"
Pirlo posted it in a weird way.
Su Ke said to the side, "I'm almost fascinated. ”
"Two sluts!"
Gattuso gave two punches.
Everyone couldn't help laughing.
Maldini clapped his hands and summed it up: "We played well in the first half, the next thing is to stabilize the situation, we know how to win the game, stay focused, run as much as possible and get our bodies moving! ”
Bang Bang Bang!!
Maldini clapped his hands and said: "The Champions League semi-finals are waiting for us, guys!" Come on! ”
The crowd immediately shouted:
"Come on!! ——”
Crazy waves roared throughout the San Siro Stadium.
The Milan fans gave a wave of fierce cheers to the soldiers in the stadium.
The second half was a bit more dull.
After gaining the upper hand, Milan began to take the initiative to control the ball and stall for time.
They're going to make sure they win, they're going to make sure they're qualified.
Therefore, when they gain an advantage, they take the initiative to slow down the pace and reduce the possibility of accidents.
Naturally, the Lyon players quit.
They are crazy to attack the AC Milan defence, they want to fight for the ball, they want to attack, they want to turn the tables.
But it's not an easy task.
Juninho Jr. kept running and pressing.
Although he is not a physical player who is good at tackling, he also actively joins the rhythm of pressing at this moment.
"Surround it! Fence it out! ”
"I'm coming!!"
"They've shifted!!"
Juninho Jr. is sweating profusely, he needs to press, but also need to pay attention to the opponent's position and his own position, to ensure that the first time he grabs the ball, he can complete the counterattack.
But soon, he stopped thinking like that.
Watch the ball move back and forth at the feet of the Milan players.
The Lyon balls were passively running and pressing.
Physical fitness and condition are declining rapidly.
"Grab the ball first!"
"Grab the ball first!"
Juninho Jr. and Vukojevic go around Suker on the wing.
Vukojevic is even more transverse.
If Suke activates, he will restrict the other party as soon as possible.
But Suker didn't make any forward or dribbling movements, and flicked his right foot lightly to the outside, an understatement of the pass.
"Damn it!"
Juninho Jr. scolded himself angrily and turned his head to continue chasing the ball.
At this point, Suker ran to the next gap and Pirlo passed the ball again.
"Vukojevic!" Little Juninho yelled.
Vukojevic was about to get close to Suker, who slid the ball through the gap and into the open space on the right side of Kaka.
Looking at the exhausted appearance of the Lyon players, the Italian commentator Aldo. Serrera couldn't help but shake her head and sigh:
'That's what Milan have on the pitch and it's hard to press in that way when they're going to slow down!'
Lyon's pressing is not a high press, there is no overall oppression.
In addition, Milan has four number 10 positions, can hold the ball, can break through, can control the ball.
Even if it's limited to one or two, there are two more.
For this reason, the situation in Lyon is very passive.
The ball was passed to Suker again.
Suke looked up at the front.
Shepchenko is ready to get forward, and Lyon's players are also on the verge of attacking them.
Just as they were thinking about how Suker was going to cross, they saw Suker suddenly turn around and pass the ball back directly.
"Fuck!! ——”
The Lyon players cursed inwardly.
Sooke ran to the flanks again, and he saw the Lyon players looking at him as if they were about to breathe fire, and even Vukojevic looked like they were going to kill him.
Su Kequan didn't see this.
In the current situation, 'stability' is the most crucial element.
When you are sick, you will attack.
Steady the tempo, keep the ball in control and stall for time.
Only with the ball at your feet can you guarantee all this.
Therefore, for Milan now, they are all about continuing to control the field without conceding goals.
"You're attacking! Dribble! ”
Vukojevich yelled at Suke.
Suke turned his head and squirted:
"I'm sick too! Take the lead or risk dribbling and giving you the ball so you can fight back? ”
Vukojevic jumped in the face.
"I'm annoyed!"
It's annoying!
Suke smiled.
Milan's strategy was to dominate the pitch and make Lyon irritable.
Anyway, our midfielders just can't control us, and Milan still has the advantage, so what's the hurry.
Spread slowly!
Take it slowly!
Little by little, time passed.
Towards the 80th minute, Juninho Jr. finally grabbed the ball from Andrea Pirlo's feet in a series of fierce runs.
"Got it!"
Juninho Jr. was in good spirits.
It's a steal up front.
He immediately looked up, looking for space to pass the ball, but he saw a fierce face.
"Gattuso! Nice rebate! ”
Gattuso squeezed Juninho, who was unsteady in his center of gravity, aside and snatched the ball back.
Su Ke couldn't help but shake his head when he saw this scene.
Little Juninho is afraid that he forgot that Ancelotti put a bodyguard named Gattuso next to Pirlo!
As soon as Pirlo conceded the goal, Gattuso immediately threw himself into counter-attacking.
The ball was passed back to Pirlo again.
Pirlo didn't dare to hold it up either, and he passed straight forward to Kaka.
Kaka attracts the defense line and transfers a wide range to Suke, who passes back!
"This slut!"
Vukojevic's teeth itched.
At this moment, Lyon's players pressed too hard to bring down Seedorf, and Milan won a set-piece at the back.
At the same time, the referee blew the whistle and signaled for a substitution.
Milan and Lyon both made substitutions.
Milan, substitutions.
Suker and Shepchenko are off.
Serginho and Simic come on.
Lyon also made two substitutions in a row.
Karui as well as the young Benzema.
Suker and Shepchenko went down.
The two took the towel from the assistant coach.
"It was a great kick!"
The assistant coach said with a smile.
Suke cracked his mouth and gave a thumbs up.
Shepchenko also laughed happily.
It was a much easier game than they thought it would be, and the goal in the opening kick-off made it a lot easier.
The overall rhythm is also very stable.
With the situation under control, Milan continued to follow the plan step by step, while increasing the weight of victory.
Suker sat on the bench, his eyes looking at the court.
The main thing is to look at the young Benzema.
"It's so green~~~"
Su Ke couldn't help but sigh.
This year's Benzema has just debuted, he is only 18 years old, and he has not yet celebrated his 19th birthday.
He's also very motivated on the pitch.
After coming on as a substitute, he continued to receive passes, stepped forward to attack, and ran extremely hard.
However, it is still a little lacking in ability, so it is of little use when attacking the Milan defence.
Suker was also relieved to watch the game.
Young Benzema is nothing
Suddenly, Suke's eyes widened.
He saw the Lyon defender suddenly kick forward and Benzema suddenly stepped forward to drill into the backline.
Karim Benzema's movement was excellent, but the most surprising thing was Dida's choice.
A steady Dida didn't know what the wrong medicine was, but he took the initiative and ran out of the big penalty area, trying to push the ball out in the air.
But the ball grazed Dida's shoulder and he couldn't hold it.
"This Nima"
Suke couldn't help but open his mouth.
Is this the famous 'Wisdom Reduction Aura'?
Throughout Benzema's career, there have been many goalkeepers who have been 'demoted' by him, which usually reflects outrageous mistakes and choices.
It's like Dida now, he goes out and then doesn't get the ball.
Benzema staggered and swept the ball into the back of the net.
In the minute of stoppage time, Lyon pulled a goal back.
"God!! Dida made an outrageous mistake when he took the initiative but couldn't get on the ball and it allowed Lyon's young striker Karim Benzema to score a goal. ”
"Lyon chase a goal back, and if another goal is scored, the game will go to extra time."
In Milan's coach's seat, Ancelotti also chuckled in his heart.
The assistant coach shouted loudly: "Steady! Steady! Hold on defensively! ”
Pulling back a goal boosted Lyon's morale.
The atmosphere on the bench suddenly became tense.
Suke's heart hung up.
He and Shepchenko are already out of the game, and if extra time starts, they won't be able to play.
Suker observed that Shepchenko was already shaking his feet with nervousness.
However, in the following time, Milan still stabilized.
In the final minute, Lyon began to bombard themselves with long-range shots from the perimeter, and of course Milan would not give them a chance to get comfortable on their feet, and the accuracy of their shots gradually decreased due to frequent interference.
Eventually, the game was over.
Champions League quarterfinals, two legs, AC Milan 4:3 Lyon.
AC Milan has reached the semi-finals of the Champions League for the second year in a row!
