Chapter 152: Cross from a 45-degree angle (Third update, please vote for me)

Thiago Silva's excellent defense prevented AC Milan from conceding a goal and put Liverpool's offense in trouble.

Only at this time did Chen Yingxiong start to pay attention to Thiago Silva again.

Only then did he realize that the short Brazilian center back in front of him, whom he hadn't seen for several years, no longer seemed to be the young boy he used to be. The young central defender who was beaten to the point of losing his temper by himself has now grown up rapidly.

interesting.

Chen Yingxiong smiled.

If anyone who knows Chen Yingxiong sees this smile of Chen Yingxiong, they will definitely start praying for Thiago Silva.

Because this shows that Chen Yingxiong is serious.

Yes, he actually didn't take it seriously before. If Chen Yingxiong is serious and can use 100% of his strength, then most of the time Chen Yingxiong can actually use 70% of his strength, because he only needs so much to score goals and win the game, why still Do you want to use all your strength?

Now, the situation is different. Seventy percent of the strength is no longer enough to solve AC Milan.

Of course, it doesn’t mean that he must improve to 100% to defeat Thiago Silva and AC Milan. It’s just that since Thiago Silva is so outstanding, as a way to respect and express his respect , he felt the need to use his full strength to fight.

Defeat them with 100% health, so they deserve to die.

Thiago Silva didn't know what changes he had made in Chen Yingxiong's mentality. He was still immersed in the excitement of successfully guarding Chen Yingxiong several times in a row.

In the past few seasons, Chen Yingxiong has gone from a person with huge fame in a country's league to the top player in the world. Countless defenders fell on him, but he could successfully defend him continuously. Could he be unhappy?

Because of his several key defenses, AC Milan never conceded a goal.

Such results inspired AC Milan's players to fight bravely one by one to block every Liverpool attack.

Everyone is more confident that they can take away a draw in the away game.

"AC Milan's defense is very tenacious, worthy of being an Italian team...Liverpool's offense is in a quagmire. Whether it is from the wing or the center, they cannot break through the defense organized by AC Milan..."

The TV broadcast gave Liverpool manager Martin O'Neill a close-up shot.

The Liverpool coach was standing on the sidelines, watching the game on the court with his hands folded, while his mind was thinking rapidly about how to solve the current situation.

AC Milan's wing and center defense have done a good job, thinking that they have enough people to form a local numerical advantage.

And if Liverpool's wingers can't open up the situation, there will be nothing they can do in the center. The wing and center are combined. If there is a problem in one place, the other place will also be affected.

Attack the middle?

The price is too high, the benefits are very low, and the price/performance ratio is very poor.

We still have to find a way from the side.

But what to do?

AC Milan deployed heavy troops on the wing. Whether it was the two wingers Gareth Bale and Sanchez or the two full-backs Enrique and Van der Wiel, they were unable to fight to the end or send threatening crosses. Come, Chen Yingxiong's header advantage will not be fully utilized.

How to break through AC Milan's wing defense through various small-scale cooperation?

It's very difficult. AC Milan's defense is link-by-link. If you open a place, people from other places will soon come to cover the defense. Under this kind of continuous defensive interference, it is difficult for the wide players to send any decent crosses.

Martin O'Neill thought about it and felt that it was difficult to move forward. If he didn't take a step forward, the price he would have to pay would be very high and not worth it.

Martin O'Neill frowned...

What should we do?

※ ※ ※

Van der Wiel wanted to push forward, but when he saw the dense crowd of AC Milan players in front of him, he felt numb - if he rushed forward, he would be throwing himself into a trap... He didn't feel that he was alone, or added Sanchez. , can break through the Milanese's dense defense.

When the football was passed to his feet again, he simply passed it directly from a distance of thirty meters. The football drew an obvious arc from the back and then flew towards the penalty area.

The AC Milan players did not expect Liverpool to cross like this and were somewhat unprepared for the ball.

Thiago Silva took off in a hurry and failed to get the ball.

Van der Wiel's cross is very high. Although the speed is not fast, it is better because of the height. If you want to top the ball, it is not that easy.

Chen Yingxiong suddenly rushed forward from the crowd, and then jumped high!

"hero--!"

When AC Milan fans and players saw Chen Yingxiong jumping up without any defense, their hearts dropped...

However, Van der Wiel's ball was indeed too high... Even Chen Yingxiong struggled to push it up. Although he hit the ball, he could no longer control the height and accuracy of the football.

In the end, the football flew directly over the crossbar.

AC Milan fans and players breathed a sigh of relief, while Liverpool fans held their heads in their hands and were very sorry.

"Ah, the hero missed a chance to break the deadlock! But no one expected this ball. Van der Wiel's cross was hasty and not of high quality. The pass was too far away and the football took too long to fly in the air. , the accuracy has also dropped a lot... Nevertheless, this kind of opportunity to ask all the defensive players in front of AC Milan and then jump up to attack the goal may not be possible twice in this game... The hero is still I missed an excellent opportunity!" The commentator also expressed regret.

Chen Yingxiong also held his head in his hands, feeling annoyed that he had missed such a good opportunity.

But Martin O'Neill, who was standing on the sidelines, suddenly lit up!

He suddenly thought of a solution!

Didn’t AC Milan shrink its defense and stick to its own 30-meter area, preventing us from entering?

Why should we go in? In order to pass to Chen Yingxiong.

But isn't there a way to pass to Chen Yingxiong without going in?

Look at the ball just now, it’s a typical example! If Van der Wiel could pass the football a little better, maybe the hero would have scored.

It doesn’t matter if I didn’t get in, it gave me a new idea.

We can use this kind of cross ball at a 45-degree angle to send shells to Chen Yingxiong.

Although we have not specifically made contact in this area before, I believe that our players can make adjustments quickly. For a forty-degree cross, the main thing is that the passing player has passed it well. The rest is whether Chen Yingxiong can Topped the football.

In this regard, Martin O'Neill trusts Chen Yingxiong very much.

As long as the football is passed in, the rest is up to Chen Yingxiong!

And doing this also has a huge advantage, that is, it makes AC Milan worry about Liverpool using this method to score goals. In order to prevent Liverpool's cross, they must press up to defend our crosser. In this way, their originally tightly compressed defense line will have clear gaps, just like a fluffy sponge, and there will be opportunities to take advantage of it!

AC Milan will face a dilemma - if they don't press out to defend, then let's wait for us to pass the football to their goal with 45-degree crosses again and again. If they press out to defend, there will be more space behind them, and we can advance the offense to their most dangerous place!

Martin O'Neal made a decision. Taking advantage of a dead ball, he told the player closest to him about his adjustment, which was Van der Veer who just made the pass.

Van der Veer didn't know that he had just made a hasty pass, but instead opened up the situation for the team. He was so happy that he told the head coach's arrangements to his teammates on the court.

Liverpool on the field immediately made corresponding changes.

When they attack, they are no longer focused on attacking and getting close to the opponent's core area. Instead, when they are still some distance away from the opponent's 30-meter area, they make a very simple pass. .

The football went straight into the penalty area, leaving Chen Yingxiong to fight for the top.

The distance is longer and the accuracy of the pass is also reduced, which is not a problem. Anyway, we were playing against AC Milan and there were plenty of opportunities to attack, so we just kept passing the ball. Even if the success rate is only 10%, if we pass the ball ten times, we can always succeed once, right? We definitely pass the ball like this more than ten times in a game!

If AC Milan doesn't press, we will keep playing like this!

※ ※ ※

Chen Yingxiong's opportunities have increased. Although there are not many perfect opportunities, he can jump up and fight for the top in the air. As long as he can jump up, he will have a chance!

What he is best at is turning the impossible into the possible, and turning the rot into magic.

Van der Wiel once again sent a cross at a 45-degree angle. Because he was prepared this time, the quality of his cross was higher than the first one, and the height was not that high.

The football drew a huge arc in the air, bypassed all the defensive players, and flew into the penalty area.

Chen Yingxiong and Thiago, as well as another AC Milan center back Fazio, competed for the top.

When Thiago Silva is fighting for the ball in the air, he can still compete with other forwards, but he cannot do so against Chen Yingxiong.

Fortunately, he has a good partner. Federico Fazio, who transferred from Sevilla, is 1.95 meters tall. He is about the same height as Chen Yingxiong and is a very strong central defender.

Mainly relying on him and Chen Yingxiong to compete for headers. Thiago Silva only interfered with Chen Yingxiong from the side, preventing him from competing with Fazio for the header wholeheartedly.

Under the joint defense of the two people, Chen Yingxiong did not hit the football this time.

This was another successful defense.

But after landing, Thiago Silva did not dare to be careless at all, and the previous excitement disappeared. Now he is nervous.

He didn't know when Chen Yingxiong would jump up and smash the football into the goal...

Chen Yingxiong's ability in heading the ball is so great that no one in today's football can match him in header skills.

Because of this, Thiago Silva is so nervous.

It's so famous...
