Chapter 319 Milan Has Retreated

? Ancelotti didn't lift his brows after the game started. He could clearly see the comparison between the two sides. Notts County's style of play really gave AC Milan a headache.

Because of the strength of the midfield and the lack of outstanding wing players, Ancelotti could only slander Galliani, who did not understand the ball, while racking his brains to design Milan's attacking tactics. To a team with weak defense in the midfield, AC Milan will easily win.

But if the opponent's midfield is equally strong, then AC Milan will not have any advantage.

It's like when they faced Juventus, Milan didn't have much advantage in the midfield. The two teams who knew the bottom line could only rely on luck to decide the outcome.

The reason why we were able to play a penalty shootout with Juventus in the Champions League final last season is precisely because neither side has good wing players and can only make a fuss in the middle. Isn't that kind of game extremely boring!

Notts County is different. All three players in the middle are excellent players, and there is also a defensive midfielder on the bench that is not inferior to Gattuso. This midfield configuration is enough to match AC Milan. The midfielder competes head-on without losing ground.

This is not the end. What makes Ancelotti most helpless is that Notts County's wing attack is still so sharp.

Those two flankers, as if they had engines on their legs, were almost able to see the exhaust after their hurricane, and these two players could make a mess of AC Milan's defense.

When it comes to AC Milan's lineup, it is the envy of the whole world, but it was restrained by Notts County's lineup. You know, even when facing Juventus, Ancelotti did not do this. Troubled.

The game went on for another ten minutes, and Notts County's offense became even sharper, especially in the transition between offense and defense, which really made Milan feel particularly uncomfortable, which is precisely what Premier League teams are best at.

If you continue to play according to this routine without making changes, then AC Milan will lose the ball sooner or later.

In fact, Ancelotti didn't have a good way to deal with it. After all, the limitations of the team's player configuration were here. Looking at the crooked melons on the bench, he didn't know how to deal with them.

After hesitating for a long time, Ancelotti could only let the team shrink back and play the most orthodox defensive counterattack in Italy. Although it seemed a bit lost to play defensive counterattacks as a giant in Milan, nothing was more important than victory and the championship.

In fact, this kind of tactic is also the most suitable for AC Milan. There are good long passers, one of the two forwards in the frontcourt is an all-round forward, and the other is an opportunist. This configuration is a counterattack, but it is a greater threat. .

Also, when the game was more than 20 minutes into the game, AC Milan withdrew. The Milan players were reluctant, but since it was Ancelotti's instructions, they had to obey.

No way, who told them to meet such a wonderful club in Notts County!

If the opponent is a super giant such as Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Bayern, etc., then it is understandable that AC Milan should put more effort into the defense. Even the most critical fans will not forget the Italian football housekeeping skills.

But the little-known team of Notts County has the strength not inferior to the top giant clubs. More importantly, the tactics are very restrained, and the contradiction appears.

However, after AC Milan's recovery, Notts County's attack will not threaten AC Milan's goal again and again, and in this case, it is necessary to pay attention to Milan's counterattack, but Notts County does not dare to press the whole team. up.

As a result, the two teams fell into a stalemate. Notts County did not dare to attack aggressively, and AC Milan did not have a good chance to counterattack. For a time, the game on the field became dull and stalemate.

Loew has nothing to adjust. In such an important game, the first thing to ensure is not to concede the ball and not fall behind. At least Notts County does not need to worry about this now. As for what kind of adjustment to make at halftime, then Just look at the performance of the two sides in the next 20 minutes.

The transition between offense and defense is slow. AC Milan usually uses a long pass from Pirlo to find the two forwards in front. Rui Costa, a full-time midfielder, has little effect on the field at this time, because he can All he did was harass the two playmakers who were holding the ball at Notts County, and he didn't have anything to do with the offense.

When was it so insignificant, Ruicosta felt so frustrated for the first time in his life, Deco's defense made him do nothing, but he couldn't defend Deco, and both ends of the offense and defense were completely exploded. This is the same name as Zidane. The master of the front waist organization?

The first half of the game was over, and neither side was able to score a goal. However, in terms of statistics, Notts County is very good-looking and has a high ball possession rate. However, the two teams together only had 5 shots in the first half. How does this look like a European Super Cup game!

The fans from Notts County and AC Milan supported their respective clubs as always, but the local Monaco fans were very dissatisfied.

What the fuck is this kicking?

Such an expensive ticket makes us sleepy, not as good as Monaco's game in Ligue 1!

But even if they slandered again, they can't refund the ticket, so they can only vent their dissatisfaction through boos!

At halftime, Loew directly made the first adjustment. Mascherano replaced Sneijder. He did not believe that AC Milan would be happy with the passive situation and would definitely make appropriate adjustments in the second half to strengthen the attack. , so Mascherano played at this time, which can make Notts County's defense more stable.

Sneijder's role on the field is not particularly obvious. This is not a problem of strength, but a problem of the tactics of both sides. He himself knows this very well, so he is not particularly unhappy.

In fact, what makes him uncomfortable is that Notts County signed the Brazilian supernova Kaka, who is a powerful opponent who came to compete with him for the main midfielder position. Although he has incomparable confidence in himself, he can remain rational. In this case, this is definitely an opponent who does not dare to have any slack.

In another locker room, Ancelotti is also making personnel adjustments. Ruicosta is completely useless on the field. It is expected that letting him walk on the field is worse than replacing players who are already more helpful to the team.

Looking at Milan's bench, there are not many that can actually be taken out. In the end, Ancelotti can only play the former lone wolf Rivaldo, and Milan's formation has also become a classic 433. In the second half, Milan Gotta let go of the attack. (To be continued.)
