Chapter 449 Suspense?

This game is very important for AC.

Not only the UEFA Champions League, but its significance to various teams in Europe, but also the current situation of AC Milan in Serie A.

Since the "Phone Door" incident in 2006, the entire AC Milan team has been seriously affected. Their domestic performance has plummeted, and they can only rank third in Serie A after Inter Milan and Roma.

The third place in Serie A is a great result for many teams, which means that they can represent Italy in next year's UEFA Champions League, but for the 'overlord' AC Milan, it is difficult to accept results.

AC Milan fans all want the team to rise again.

When the league is difficult to compete, the results of the Champions League are very important to them.

AC Milan is the Champions League champion. Every fan hopes that they can enter the Champions League semi-finals again. This result is enough to prove that AC Milan is still a European giant and the top team in the world.

So AC Milan is very fierce on the field!

That gave Manchester City players an illusion, as if the match was not the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, but a decisive final. They are under a lot of pressure on defense, and their offense also faces tough competition from AC.

They felt the game was a lot harder than the first round.

Manchester City's offense and defense under Morris' organization are not much weaker than AC Milan.

Manchester City gives the impression of being a 'stable' word. When attacking, all kinds of passes are played very steadily. They will not suddenly lose the ball due to tension and pressing. The defense is also very stable. If a player loses position, immediately Teammates will fill in.

Such offense and defense also made AC Milan feel very difficult.

The two teams played very well in the opening game, and every player on the field was working hard.

AC Milan is relatively lucky.

In the 25th minute of the game, striker Pato received a pass from Pirlo and knocked on the door of Manchester City with an oblique volley.

"Goal!!!"

After this goal, the Italian commentator could not help shouting, "Pato helped AC Milan score! Now the total score is 2:2, Manchester City only has the advantage of away goals!"

————

AC Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti sat on the bench and stared at the game on the pitch seriously. When he saw Pato scoring a goal, he stood up and clapped his hands with a smile on his face.

Ancelotti is very satisfied with the performance of the players on the field, and at the same time, he is also a little complacent about his adjustment of targeted tactics.

As early as ten days ago, Ancelotti began to watch the game video with Manchester City over and over again, hoping to find the best way to deal with Manchester City, but Manchester City's 'complex' tactics and various routines really It's hard to find real weaknesses.

In the end, Ancelotti decided to take a tough, simple approach to City.

Defense is the inherent defensive formation and tough scramble. Offense is to pass more directly and rely more on the personal performance of the players in the frontcourt.

For some small clubs, it is difficult to have any effect by adopting such a style of play. After all, when the players are not very capable, it is very impractical to rely solely on the performance of the players, but for AC Milan, What kind of play can be effective, instead of training those complex tactics, it is better to use the most difficult play to be effective.

Pato's goal is the harvest of tactical adjustment.

For the goal just now, the offense relied on the personal performance of Pirlo and Kaka. Pirlo's direct pass was very unexpected. Before that, Kaka also played a great role in overcoming Silva's breakthrough. So, in the end, Pato got a chance in the penalty area. He faced Dunn's defense and calmly sent the ball into the goal.

This is a goal scored by the player's individual performance, which seems to have little to do with tactics, but in fact, in football games, player ability can often be counted as part of tactics.

Player performance also depends on tactics.

AC Milan's tactics give players more room to play individually, so they can perform so well.

Seeing this goal, Ancelotti was more confident in the play he arranged, and he began to look forward to the team's performance next.

Wan Sheng sat on the coach's bench and felt helpless when he saw Pato's goal.

This is the ability of a star.

In football games, many star players can play an unimaginable role. Once they perform occasionally, they can create goals and directly achieve the purpose of various complex tactical routines.

But compared to the individual ability of the players, is Manchester City worse?

When the camera pointed at him, Wan Sheng left the corner of his mouth and showed a chuckle. He was not moved by the opponent's goal at all.

Wansheng is quite confident in the team.

In this game, he also made adjustments to the tactics, or in other words, he made a little adjustment to the formation of the tactics of the last game against AC Milan - adding a central defender and placing a midfielder.

In the last game, the team performed very well, but the shortcomings are still obvious, that is, the lack of defense in front of the goal, and in the midfield, there are Silva, Darren Bent, Ozil, Murray. With his mid lane combination, Martin Petrov and Ivan Crewe on the flanks have been greatly restricted. Most of the time, they are unable to participate in the offense.

So in this game, Wansheng simply replaced Martin Petrov and only let five other players play. Ozil and Ivan Kru played on the sides, and the other three played in the middle.

The control ability of the team's midfield has not weakened, and the defense has also increased a lot in comparison, so the team's strength can only be stronger than the last game, not weaker than the last game.

What if AC Milan scored a goal?

The game has 90 minutes!

Wansheng believes that the team's performance will not disappoint itself. This is the confidence of all the players, and it is also an absolute confidence.

Pato's goal boosted AC Milan's morale!

The Milan fans who came to the Manchester Stadium, the voices followed a lot louder.

After the restart of the game, AC Milan also launched a rapid offensive, hoping to win Manchester City in one go.

But in fact, when they did this, they found that the feeling was no different from before. They were still very difficult to face Manchester City's solid defense and sharp offensive.

It is not easy to attack the defense, and the opponent's offense also dazzles them, and they don't know how to defend to make the goal more stable.

At this moment, Ozil stood up!

In this game, Ozil played as a left midfielder, and he rarely played this position.

Wansheng did not ask him to be a qualified left midfielder, but to play according to the style of play he was good at when attacking, and only the defense needed to run according to the formation.

Therefore, Ozil was still very active in the game. This time, he relied on his own skills, dribbling the ball from the left, almost slanting straight to the penalty area, his dribbling pulled AC Milan's defense, AC Milan Had to assign someone to intercept it.

At this time, Ozil and Darren Bent completed a wall-to-wall cooperation.

Ozil runs off the ball and throws off Gattuso!

Morris's ball came over accurately, and Ozil used his left foot to rub out an outer instep arc when he won the ball!

The football drew a very obvious arc, bypassed the ten fingers of goalkeeper Karachi, and plunged into AC Milan's net!

————

"Ozil!"

"Mesut Ozil—"

“Goooooooooooooooooooooal!!!”

British BBC radio and television commentator Ryan John shouted excitedly, "Ozil! Ozil! He helped Manchester City score, 3-2, Manchester City re-established the advantage in the aggregate score!"

"Ozil did a great job! He ran with the ball from the flank and made AC Milan's defense a mess!"

"Maurice's pass was also beautiful and the football rolled right in front of Ozil."

"This superb shot also showed the skills of the German boy. Karachi was completely helpless in the face of this shot. He made a save, but he couldn't touch the ball at all..."

Manchester Stadium became a sea of ​​cheers amid the chanting of the commentators.

Every Manchester City fan was screaming and cheering for Manchester City's goal.

At this time, many AC Milan fans could not help but miss their main goalkeeper Dida.

Dida has been injured this season. Since the start of the season, he has only made 10 appearances for AC Milan, so Karachi, who is a substitute goalkeeper, has a chance.

Seeing this goal, many AC Milan fans thought, "If Dida played, would he be able to save the ball successfully?"

This is the consolation of Milan fans that Karachi is only the one implicated in the goal.

Wan Sheng didn't care about it.

Ozil's shot just now is very high-level, even a world-class goalkeeper, if you want to save the ball, you have to 'exceed the level', even Dida is no exception, not to mention, the Brazilian national goal is already old, he It's hard to say whether there is a 'world-class level'.

In addition, Wansheng also knows Karachi very well.

In the season of coaching Derby County, Oakes left Manchester United, and Wansheng brought Karachi from Italy. When he was performing normally, Karachi was still quite good. The only problem was that his state was unstable, but the two games against Manchester City, Karachi didn't have the problem of unstable state, and the performance was quite calm.

Such Karachi is no worse than Dida. This goal is replaced by Dida as the goalkeeper, and he will score when he should.

AC Milan didn't get hit hard by Ozil's goal, in fact, even if City regained the lead, they were in a much stronger position now than they opened because they had an away goal.

If AC Milan can score the second goal to tie the game, then they are equal to two away goals.

1-2 at home and 2-1 away, they tied the score and tied the goal difference, enough to send the game into overtime.

Therefore, the Italian media still expressed great hope for AC Milan's promotion, "Even if Manchester City scores a goal, there is still a lot of suspense in the game. As long as AC Milan can score another goal, the two teams will stand on the same starting line again... "(To be continued~^~)
