Chapter 156: A game that makes Milan fans despair (Third update, please vote for me)
After the start of the second half, everyone found that it was almost the same as the first half. AC Milan still defended and Liverpool laid siege.
Liverpool's siege method was the same as before, which was to use a 45-degree cross from behind to send the football directly to Chen Yingxiong's head.
AC Milan did not make any adjustments to Liverpool's tactics and still allowed Liverpool's players to send crosses with almost no one to defend them.
In fact, Allegri originally planned to ask Ibrahimovic to help defend.
But during the halftime break, he saw a lot of dissatisfaction on Ibrahimovic's face, so he changed his focus - to suppress him and prevent him from thinking about just scoring goals. It's easy. If he is asked to run to defend again and consume his energy in defense, he will probably fall out on the spot?
Ibrahimovic is now AC Milan's number one star and the core of the offense. It can be said that he is AC Milan's only offensive player.
Other things like Robinho are not worth mentioning.
So Allegri still tried not to offend Ibrahimovic.
If the relationship between you and him becomes too tense, it will be difficult to carry out future work, and the team's performance will also be affected...
So even though he knew that Ibrahimovic was unhappy with him, Allegri had to swallow his anger.
This wealthy head coach is really not something ordinary people can do...

If AC Milan didn't press forward, Liverpool would just hit a high ball from behind and look for Chen Yingxiong's head.
But the bandage really affected Chen Yingxiong's header.
Even if he hit some headers, it was because there were several layers of thick bandages that the touch was not obvious and he did not exert force in time. As a result, the football he headed was light and easy for Amelia to confiscate.
Either because of the bandage, there is a deviation in distance judgment, and the accuracy of heading the ball plummets.
"It seems that the forehead injury has a great impact on Chen Yingxiong's header..."
"It's hard to hit the ball through the bandage..."
"The white bandage on the hero's head made him stand out like a beacon in AC Milan's penalty area. Footballs flew towards him. But his header level was not as good as in the first half... I don't know if it was because of the bandage. , or it was because the injury in the first half affected him and left some shadows on him..."
…
Some commentators thought that the injured part of Chen Yingxiong was right where he headed the ball. Pain or a mental disorder caused Chen Yingxiong to throw a trap when heading the ball and he did not dare to perform.
But that's not actually the case. Some other commentators guessed the real reason.
It is indeed because it is difficult to head the ball through the bandage.
Chen Yingxiong felt that the bandage was really in the way. After wasting several opportunities, he simply grabbed the bandage off his head in anger!
Then he trotted to the sideline and threw the bandage balled up in his hand.
Only the tape used to stop bleeding was left on the wound, and nothing else. But like this, he felt much more relaxed. He was holding a plate of bandages before, which really made his head feel a lot heavier.
After throwing away the burden, Chen Yingxiong raised his arms high and signaled his teammates to continue passing the ball to him.
Do you think you can defend just one ball? Innocent!

To be honest, the process of this game disappointed the fans and reporters who were watching. Because I didn’t see the duel between the legendary Ibrahimovic and Chen Yingxiong, the two top centers.
Throughout the first half, AC Milan only had three shots. Two of these three shots were taken by Ibrahimovic, but they did not hit the goal frame.
Chen Yingxiong shot as many as eleven times, most of which were headers. Five of them were within the goal frame, and one of them was a goal.
If we look at this data, Chen Yingxiong beats Ibrahimovic completely.
The duel between the two masters turned out to be one-sided, which was somewhat disappointing.
Many neutral fans began to hope that Ibrahimovic could score a goal to equalize the score and make the game more interesting. For these neutral fans, the game between Liverpool and AC Milan was really disappointing. It's not pretty...
Unfortunately, due to tactical restrictions, Ibrahimovic's space to play is extremely limited.
He now carries the ball by himself after receiving it, and rarely passes the football out because he is worried that after passing it out, the football will never be able to return to his feet until it is intercepted or shot out.
Anyway, he was quite confident in his ball-handling skills, so Ibrahimovic dribbled the ball forward.
He passed one Liverpool player, then two more... But when he faced three or four Liverpool players, he was powerless. No matter how good his skills are, he is still afraid of a pack of wolves.
The one-over-five goal that became famous at Ajax, where one person singled out the entire defense and then knocked the ball into the ball, was a matter of luck and cannot be replicated anytime and anywhere.
Liverpool also saw that the Swede could no longer pass the ball, so they could confidently and boldly block him.
After breaking the football at his feet, he quickly passed it to the frontcourt for a quick counterattack.
It is a pity that AC Milan's defensive formation was not disrupted by Ibrahimovic's attack with the ball, so Liverpool did not have any loopholes to exploit.
But everyone can see that Ibrahimovic does not trust his teammates and wants to fight alone.
This suits Liverpool's taste - we have never been afraid of fighting alone. If you want to fight us alone, then don't blame us for beating you up in a group!
Allegri did not expect Ibrahimovic to be so stubborn and squandered all the counterattack opportunities he finally got. He remembers waving his hands and shouting "Ibrahimovic" Vicky's name.
It was as if the Swede couldn't hear it - and he had every reason to do so, because the decibels at Anfield were very high, and his ears were filled with the noise of the Liverpool fans, which was very noisy. It is normal for him to say that he did not hear the head coach’s call...
But he didn't even look at the sidelines. It was obvious that his waist was against the coach's intention.
Yes, Ibrahimovic has no intention of abiding by Allegri's defensive tactics. To him, this tactic is a piece of shit and worthless. As a center, if you don't attack, what's the point of your existence? Just standing in the midfield as a strategic deterrent? Is a weapon that cannot function still called a weapon?
Ibrahimovic is full of confidence in his skills. He feels that even without the support of his teammates, he can score goals and help the team equalize the score.
He wants the whole world to watch whether his approach is correct or Allegri's conservative tactics are correct!

For fans of AC Milan, this game was really disappointing - defensively, AC Milan was beaten by Liverpool. Liverpool hoisted the football from the air to Chen Yingxiong's head again and again, and Chen Yingxiong's head The ball can pose a certain threat every time, making their hearts tighten all the time.
In terms of offense... Ibrahimovic monopolizes all offensive attacks. When the football comes to his feet, no matter where he is, it is almost impossible to let him pass it out. He always uses his feet. Technology is taken forward. But he rarely can directly bring it to the effective shooting area. In the end, it will either be intercepted or he will take a hasty kick. Who knows whether he can score...
This kind of game makes AC Milan fans have no hope of winning at all, and it is simply torture for them.
However, Liverpool's offensive has become more fierce, and Chen Yingxiong, who has taken off the bandage, is also more active in heading the ball!
"Hero——!! What a danger!"
"The hero's header flew off the goalpost, and there was a burst of exclamations from the scene, including the regretful voices of Liverpool and the fans, and the shocked gasps of the AC Milan fans..."
"Liverpool is here again... this time it's Gareth Bale's cross! Hero, hero! Hero -! Amelia! Beautiful save! He held up the hero's header with one palm, He saved the team once again! Although Amelia's performance was outstanding, how could he withstand Liverpool's offensive frenzy on his own?"

AC Milan's goal on the field was like a small boat in the storm, which could be overturned by huge waves at any time. Allegri stood on the sidelines, frowning and looking at the court nervously.
No more goals can be conceded. If a second goal is conceded, the game will be considered a complete failure.
But how to stop losing the ball, he has no better idea, he can only hope that the team's defense can gain some momentum.
At the same time, he was unhappy when he thought of Ibrahimovic squandering and wasting the team's hard-won offensive opportunities so irresponsibly.
He has already thought about it. No matter what the final result of this game is, after returning to Milan, he will have a good talk with Berlusconi or Galliani about this thorny Ibrahimovic. The team was originally negotiating with him to renew his contract before, but he feels that they should slow down the pace of contract renewal now.

Liverpool's indiscriminate bombardment once again had an effect in the 78th minute.
It was exactly the same as the first goal. It was passed directly from the back at a 45-degree angle. However, the landing point of the pass was different from the first ball in the middle. Instead, it started to drop sharply when it reached the front point.
Chen Yingxiong jumped forward, which no one expected.
So Chen Yingmei's breasts were almost unmarked, and she headed the ball and rubbed it!
The football flew into AC Milan's goal from the near corner...
Amelia was out of reach and could only watch the football fly into the goal he was guarding for the second time!
"Ah, hero! Hero! The ball is scored!"
"Beautiful head-flicking forward! The hero's header was very difficult, but he successfully pushed the football in! This shows how advanced his ability in heading the ball has been!"
"2:0! Liverpool leads AC Milan by two goals at home! Allegri's defensive tactics were like a castle on the beach and were completely defeated by Liverpool's frenzied offensive. The originally impregnable defense collapsed! Tickets for the final In the competition, Liverpool takes the lead!"
"Aha! That damn bandage didn't bother him this time! Because he ditched the bandage! Well done, hero!"
The cheers at Anfield reached its peak!
If it was just the game process that made AC Milan fans despair before, then now even the result of the game makes them despair...
