One Hundred and Ten Advanced to the Final
April 25, San Siro Stadium in Milan.
From the moment the German referee Merck blew the whistle to start the game, more than 76,000 Milan fans in the audience never stopped booing them.
Because, from the first minute, Real Madrid launched a fierce attack and high pressure on Milan.
Goalkeeper Casillas, defense Felipe, Woodgate, Ramos and Arbeloa, midfielder Gravesen and De La Reid dragging behind, Raul, Zidane and Beckham suddenly Before, Negredo played the center forward.
Even in the away game, Real Madrid still showed the aggressive momentum they had when they lost to the Bernabeu, trying to suppress AC Milan from the first minute and even create goals.
Ancelotti's team has been affected by injuries and continuous battles, and the lineup has experienced twists and turns.
The goalkeeper is Dida, the defense is Serginho, Karadze, Costacurta and Stam, the midfielder is Seedorf, Pirlo, Gattuso, Kaka is forward, and the double striker is Dayin The combination of Zaghi and Shevchenko.
Compared with the first round, Ancelotti made a reluctant adjustment, replacing Nesta with Costacurta.
However, he still put Nesta on the big list, obviously just in case.
Gao Shen received the news early and used Negredo to forcibly suppress the two central defenders, Karadze and Costacurta.
Under Carlo Ancelotti, Karadze has always played left back, but recently he has been fixed as Nesta's partner, and his performance is also remarkable, but tonight, his partner is not Nesta, but Forty-year-old Costacurta.
Gao Shen does not use Ronaldo, but uses Negredo. The purpose is very clear, which is to suppress.
Facts have also proved that from the beginning of the game, Real Madrid suppressed AC Milan in the frontcourt.
Whether it is Negredo's point or Zidane's point, they can seize the advantage, forcing Ancelotti's team to invest more troops in defense.
But even so, AC Milan is still in danger on the court.
Gao Shen's tactics are not very clever. Houllier's Lyon and Mancini's Inter Milan have used them, but Real Madrid is more integrated, more oppressive, and more threatening on the offensive end.
That's enough.
...
Real Madrid is still suppressing AC Milan as always,
The midfielder locked Pirlo and Kaka.
Inzaghi and Shevchenko in front were running actively, but failed to get support from their teammates behind them.
Unable to play the ball in the middle, AC Milan can only allow Serginho to advance more and participate in the offense.
But in the first round of the game, this set of methods has been proved to be unworkable.
In the 22nd minute of the game, it was Serginho who tried to pass the ball to Inzaghi. Arbeloa and Ramos teamed up to intercept the ball first. Quickly forward to Beckham.
Beckham dribbled the ball across the center line, instigated a counterattack, attracted the attention of Seedorf and AC Milan's defense, then suddenly shifted his big foot to the left, Felipe quickly inserted, and completed a two-two with the retreating Raul. After a match, cut in and pass the ball to Negredo.
After the Spanish center retreated to catch the ball, he turned around and passed a ball behind him. Zidane quickly jumped in, and after receiving the pass from Negredo, he stalked and stopped the ball in the penalty area.
I saw that the French midfielder seemed to be dancing, every touch of the ball, every movement, seemed to have a ballet-like rhythm, and Kaladze, who was marking him, was tricked by him for some reason. balance.
After Zidane passed Karadze, his body was a little out of balance, and he relied on his flexibility to hit the goal with his right foot.
The ball passed under Kaladze and went straight to the bottom left corner of the goal.
Dida originally defended against Zidane hitting the right side and handed over the left side to Karadze, but he was beyond the reach of this shot.
One to zero!
When the whistle sounded for the goal to be effective, the Real Madrid players all cheered.
Zidane rushed straight out of the field, followed by Raul and other players, and even Ramos and others on the back line rushed over.
Casillas raised his hands in the penalty area, shouting and roaring loudly.
The total score is four to zero!
More importantly, Real Madrid's away goal sentenced AC Milan to death.
The Rossoneri must score five goals in order to reverse.
But is it possible?
AC Milan just took the lead and wanted to attack a wave, but Real Madrid took the opportunity, a sharp counterattack, and directly harvested a wave.
There is no chance to resist!
...
Seeing Zidane score a goal, Gao Shen laughed from ear to ear on the sidelines.
These superstars in Real Madrid are all babies!
Always old, but whether it is strength or consciousness, it is still the top in the world.
The key depends on how the head coach uses it.
Just like Beckham, needless to say the top cross from the right in history, how threatening is his long pass?
The goal just now seemed to be a cooperation from the left, but it was Beckham's long pass that created the space.
The ball was quickly transferred from the right side of the dense defensive area to the left side with a large gap, and then Felipe and Raul formed a two-on-one on the left side, which created a chance to score.
Is this routine familiar?
In deep memory, the future Barcelona and Real Madrid in the Champions League three consecutive games will adopt a similar sudden transfer style of play.
Barcelona is Xavi, Real Madrid is Xabi Alonso and Toni Kroos.
I still remember that someone once said that if you want to succeed on the stage of the top league, you must have your own set of unique killers.
It's the kind where the opponent knows what you're going to do, but they just can't stop you.
Sudden long pass transfer is one of them, because it requires a good long pass master.
The personal ability of the star is also included, such as the current Ronaldinho, the future Messi, or Robben's right-sided cut, all of these are strategic means.
Kaka's breakthrough with the ball in the middle is also considered, but now AC Milan has not yet exerted the threat of Kaka.
Whether it was restricted by Mohamed Diarra against Lyon, or restricted by Gravesen and De La Reid against Real Madrid, Kaka failed to exert its own advantage.
When Ancelotti liberated Kaka, AC Milan's offense was alive.
But certainly not this season.
...
With Zidane's goal, the game has been completely killed.
Real Madrid still adopts a high position in the frontcourt to press and press, while AC Milan is more stable.
In any case, this is San Siro, and it’s okay for the Rossoneri to lose 0-3 in the away game. They absolutely don’t want to lose ugly at home. Lottie was afraid that get out of class would be dismissed.
The stalemate lasted until the second half.
Ancelotti made three substitutions.
First, in the 65th minute, Cafu replaced the veteran Costacurta, allowing Stam to return to the middle to partner with Karadze.
This is really no way.
No matter how good Costacurta's condition is, he is still 40 years old. How can he have an advantage against the young and strong Negredo?
Then Rui Costa replaced Gattuso, which is a bit interesting, obviously a signal to liberate the midfielder.
Kaka, Rui Costa, Seedorf and Pirlo are four No. 10 configurations. The difference is that the previous Rivaldo has become the current Kaka.
Then, he replaced Inzaghi with Gilardino.
Gao Shen is also making substitutions. First, Baptista is used to replace Zidane, the scoring hero, to further strengthen the pressing force in the midfield. After all, AC Milan's four No. 10s are still very threatening.
Then, Gao Shen replaced Raul with Ronaldo.
Real Madrid began to change into a four-three-one-two, Beckham returned to the midfielder position, Baptista stepped forward, Ronaldo and Negredo partnered as two forwards.
This is an obvious defensive counterattack tactic.
Seventy-five minutes into the game, it started with AC Milan's crazy counterattack.
The Rossoneri are no longer trying to win, but want to save face in San Siro.
Real Madrid responded with a defensive counterattack, and the two sides played very fiercely.
Unlike Inzaghi, Gilardino has a wider range of running and more obvious tactical effects, that is, his harassment and suppression of Real Madrid's defense created an opportunity for AC Milan.
Kaka forced a breakthrough with the ball, created a foul outside the penalty area, and won a valuable free kick for AC Milan.
Pirlo made a precise free throw into the penalty area, and Gilardino beat Woodgate to score a goal for AC Milan.
One to one!
But just three minutes later, Real Madrid kicked a quick counterattack.
Beckham sent a long pass on the right side of the front of his penalty area, and gave the ball straight to the frontcourt.
Negredo was ahead of Caladze, headed the ball and hit the back of the defense line. Ronaldo went straight behind the defense line, shook off Stam, stopped the ball and went into the penalty area, but when facing Dida, He tried to sway past the goalkeeper, but the previous series of actions had consumed too much energy. When he shot the goal after swaying Dida, he failed to get the right spot, and the ball slipped slightly out of the empty goal.
The entire San Siro stadium screamed in unison.
Ronaldo knelt down in the penalty area in pain, beating his feet and chest.
Anyone can see that his consciousness is still there, and it may even be better than when he was young. His skills have degraded a bit, but he is still quite good. Ronaldo's biggest problem is his body.
His body could no longer keep up with his consciousness.
And everyone knows that when the body, consciousness and technology reach a balance point, it is the golden age of a professional player.
For Ronaldo, this is undoubtedly a tragedy.
However, which professional player does not need to experience such a tragedy?
Even, doesn't everyone have to experience such a tragedy?
Football is like life.
...
The match ended up being one to one.
Real Madrid drew with AC Milan away with a goal from Zidane.
The Rossoneri saved face with Gilardino's goal, but with a total score of 1 to 4, they missed the Champions League final.
Real Madrid successfully got tickets to the Stade de France!
