When the players of Inter Milan and AC Milan came on the field, their expressions were stern and expressionless. For the players of AC Milan, the Champions League will be the only honor they can strive for this season. Although they are in the league this season Their performance is sluggish, but the fighting spirit and morale accumulated in the past few years will not dissipate immediately under such pressure. Instead, they will become more vigorous in some channels. For them, the Champions League is such a channel.
And what about Inter Milan? They are confident, they are in good condition, and they are moving towards an unprecedented goal. However, they also know that the more times like this come, the more they need to improve their concentration. Although they have won a championship, it does not mean that It means they will be able to win the next two championships.
Dick made slight adjustments to the midfield in this game, with goalkeeper Cesar, defenders Maicon, Cannavaro, Materazzi and Zanetti, and midfielders Mascherano and Sneijder in the middle. , Figo appears on the left, Stankovic on the right, and the strike partners Ibrahimovic and Toni. This formation obviously strengthens the attack on the wing. Figo can also play well on the left, Stankovic Kovic is on the right, and his running allows Maicon to move forward without any worries.
AC Milan sent out a 4411 formation. The goalkeeper is still Dida, who has been controversial recently. The defense line is right back Odo, left back Jankulovski, and the center back partner is Nesta. With captain Maldini, the four midfielders are Gattuso, Pirlo, Ambrosini and Seedorf. Kak¨¢ steps forward, Gilardino serves as the lone forward, and Inzaghi sits on the bench. - But there's a good chance he'll play in the second half.
Judging from the lineup, both sides have adopted the tactics they have been accustomed to recently. When they performed poorly in the league, AC Milan began to use single forward tactics and achieved good results. When facing stronger opponents, Adopting a defensive and counterattack tactic has become Ancelotti's thinking when playing in the Champions League.
"We must attack from the beginning."
The players of Inter Milan thought about what Dick said in the locker room. Teams like AC Milan are more likely to be slow to warm up. If they are slow to warm up, they will disrupt their rhythm from the beginning and use offense to tear apart the opponent. The defense line gives the team a huge advantage as a whole. This is what Inter Milan has to do now.
AC Milan is slow to warm up because they have more veterans in the team. If they run wildly from the beginning, their overall physical fitness will definitely not last until the end. And Dick wants to achieve this effect, delaying the game from the beginning. Entering a high-intensity confrontation, even if he cannot score a goal, the intensity of the entire game must be increased. What he is watching is not this one game, but two games. Inter Milan has an advantage in physical fitness, so he must Taking advantage of their physical strength to the limit, Inter Milan defeated Figo Stankovic, Perrotta and Yaya Toure. If the AC Milan midfielders cannot support their physical strength, there are still others who can. Replace them?
It¡¯s not that Ancelotti doesn¡¯t know this truth, but even if he knows it, he can¡¯t stop Inter Milan from playing a fast tempo from the beginning. When Inter Milan wants to play a fast tempo, they want to slow them down. It's really not an easy thing.
The game starts with attack, suppression, and storm.
Inter Milan¡¯s offense seemed very ferocious from the beginning, with the potential to beat AC Milan to death with a stick.
"Inter Milan wants to swallow up its opponent in one breath. Is it careless? If this is the case, AC Milan's opportunity will come!" A commentator said this.
However, five minutes after the game started, the entire Meazza stadium began to burst into crazy cheers and shouts!
Sneijder intercepted the ball on the left side of the midfield and picked a pass. After receiving the ball, Ibrahimovic shot a volley and hit Nesta, who was flying to cover, and bounced out of the baseline for a corner kick.
Figo took a corner kick, and Toni grabbed the first spot in the crowd, relying on his height and strength to overpower Jankulovski and hit the goal! Facing this header that was only five meters away from the goal, although Dida caught the ball, he could not stop it from entering the net!
Five minutes into the opening, Inter Milan scored with the first threatening attack! Such a start is perfect!
"Continue to attack, don't give them a chance to breathe!"
Amid the crazy shouts of all the Inter Milan fans, Dick yelled into the field. To deal with a team like AC Milan, either they should completely suppress it from the beginning. If they just struggle with the opponent, their state and ability It will slowly come out, and it will become more and more difficult to deal with! Especially if they are given a chance to breathe, these old guys will show their abilities in the game, so they cannot be given this opportunity. Even if they cannot continue to score goals, they must bring the whole rhythm up!
AC Milan plans toThe idea of ????organizing the attack slowly came to nothing. After the restart, they were frantically pressed by Inter Milan players. Even Figo did not hesitate to run in the frontcourt. Seeing Inter Milan quickly intercept the ball again After launching an attack, Ancelotti stood up from the sidelines and then made a gesture to the court to recycle the defense.
Ancelotti knows that if you want to be brilliant, you must first pretend to be a grandson. Although it is embarrassing to recycle defense at this time, it can effectively resolve Dick's tactics. Recycling defense can first make the opponent's offense look less threatening. Reduce the possibility of losing the ball, and secondly, it can slow down the rhythm.
Seeing Ancelotti's move, Dick nodded slightly. Obviously this is the most effective approach at this time. After all, AC Milan cannot compete with Inter Milan in physical strength. Although this approach is a bit embarrassing, it is The best choice at this time - Ancelotti can reach this point, naturally he is not an ordinary coach. He is one of the best head coaches in the world now.
In this case, let¡¯s wait and see. If AC Milan wants to counterattack, the pace cannot be too slow, unless they really want to be so useless until the end of the game.
After scoring the goal, Tony seemed very active. He first fired a long shot from outside the penalty area and was saved by Dida. Then, after receiving Ibrahimovic's cross, his header missed the goal a little. AC Milan continued until the third The first shot was completed at the 13th minute. Kaka received the ball from Seedorf outside the penalty area and shot directly. Cesar was well positioned to catch the ball.
Inter Milan continued to attack in the next game. Ibrahimovic's shot after forcing a breakthrough in the middle was scored by Dida. Two minutes later, Stankovic's long shot was lifted over the crossbar by Dida. Figo's corner kick was missed. Nesta destroyed the ball. Sneijder caught the ball outside the penalty area and shot a volley. Dida flew to block the ball with one hand.
After conceding the first goal, Dida's performance gradually began to improve. Although his current state has dropped a bit compared to before, at critical moments, he is still AC Milan's most reliable goalkeeper. .
Dick frowned. Now that Inter Milan is higher up, this will also give AC Milan some opportunities. Dida's outstanding performance dashed Inter Milan's hope of scoring a second goal, and AC Milan's defense also It's very strict. After all, in the Champions League this season, they relied on defense to stabilize their defense, and then relied on Kaka's personal breakthrough to complete the offense
Just when Dick was thinking this, Kaka's personal explosion in the 22nd minute tied the score for AC Milan!
Stankovic fouled Ambrosini in the middle circle. Gattuso passed the ball to Seedorf. Seedorf suddenly sent a through pass. After receiving the ball, Kaka broke into the penalty area and used his speed to break through Kana. Varro defended, then volleyed in the penalty area, and the ball flew into the door of Inter Milan!
More than two thousand AC Milan fans began to shout wildly. After being suppressed by Inter Milan until now, they scored with the second shot. This made their emotions completely burst out, and they scored a goal in the away game. , this situation is also something that they feel is very advantageous. Although it is a draw, AC Milan begins to take advantage because of such a goal!
"AC Milan's situation is starting to look good now beautiful defensive counterattack. I have to say that although they were beaten badly by Inter Milan in the league this season, in such a face-to-face competition, AC Milan still has a fighting chance. Kaka's performance was so good. Did you see his start just now? It was as fast as a gust of wind. Neither Cannavaro nor Cesar could stop his breakthrough and shot! What will Milan do?¡±
Looking at Kaka celebrating with his hands in the sky, Dick's face did not change at all. He just made a gesture to the court - continue to attack, don't be affected by this lost ball!
And Ancelotti's face didn't look too happy. In the past ten minutes, AC Milan's offense began to gradually organize. However, the pace of the game also began to become faster. Both sides were going back and forth. In the attack, Inter Milan failed to score but was scored by AC Milan. This may not be a good thing for AC Milan. The price they paid for the goal was a decrease in physical fitness. Paying such a price will not be good for the future. What impact will it have? No one can tell.
In the following time, the two sides continued to attack back and forth. Inter Milan took the initiative in attack, while AC Milan relied on counterattacks from time to time to threaten the opponent's goal. Kaka galloped across the midfield and frontcourt, seemingly unstoppable. Inter Milan's offense is dominated by Ibrahimovic. His ball-taking and distribution constantly put huge pressure on AC Milan's defense.
In the 26th minute, Ibrahimovic made a direct pass, and Maicon, who assisted, shot from the edge of the penalty area and slipped out of the far post.
In the 28th minute, Sneijder made a diagonal pass into the penalty area from the left, and Stan stepped in.?Vicci's header from far away went over the goal.
Ibrahimovic then had two consecutive shots, both of which were resolved bravely by Dida. Under the fierce offensive of Inter Milan, AC Milan overtook the score in the 35th minute through another explosion of Kak¨¢!
Dida drove the ball forward with a big kick. Kaka grabbed the header in front of Mascherano on the left rib, and then volleyed the ball with the outside of his right foot and over Maicon's head, and came over from defense. Cannavaro and Maicon collided, Kak¨¢ took the opportunity to dribble the ball into the penalty area, faced the attacking Cesar and pushed the goal with his right foot to score in the near corner!
"Kaka! Kaka again! Scored twice! AC Milan miraculously overtook the score in the away game! Throughout the first half, they could launch very few offenses, but they were ahead of Inter Milan! This is a big blow for Inter Milan What a tragedy! There are many examples of having an absolute advantage but losing the game because of the outburst of one or two opponents. Will Inter Milan encounter the same situation and lose the chance of winning the Triple Crown? Kaka's performance is really incomparable? Top! He has reached his peak this season! Can he help AC Milan win the Champions League? You know, for Kaka, he has never won the Champions League!"
