Chapter 892 Victory
Milan is very strong. Even though the glorious era of the Three Musketeers is gone, Serie A is still the top league today, and the competitive state of Milan, a giant in Serie A, is beyond doubt.
You should know that this season, this Milan team just defeated Inter Milan, another Serie A giant, 6-0 not long ago.
After his boss boosted the morale, Barcelona coach Frank immediately arranged an opening attack tactic. Although Milan was pressed into the half court, they still failed to score in half an hour, which shows the strength of this team.
You should know that Barcelona this season can be said to be shining with stars. In addition to Zidane Zidane, who has the highest transfer fee this year, there are also stars such as Eto'o and Giuly. There is also Ronaldo, a dancing elf on the court, but he still attacked for more than half an hour and still failed to blast open Milan's door.
Whether it is offense or defense, the strength of Milan this season can be seen. The offense can beat Inter Milan 6-0, and the defense can withstand the bombardment of Barcelona's stars.
So until the end of the first half, the score was 0-0, and the fans on the scene burst into violent cheers. Although Barcelona had 7 threatening shots in the first half, not counting other shots, Milan did not have a single shot, not even a shot towards the goal.
But all the main singing fans cheered for their home team with one wave after another, because the situation in the second half would definitely be reversed if the first half was played like this, and the current situation is absolutely favorable for Milan.
After all, the strength of the two teams is already equal, and even many fans think that although Barcelona has many stars, Milan is stronger. You have to know that this newly formed Galaxy battleship has been in the process of running-in for a period of time, and the team's performance is much worse than Milan.
The Barcelona players seemed to know this situation, so after returning to the locker room, they all lowered their heads and panted heavily, and the atmosphere was a little low. It was very exhausting to press Milan so hard in the first half. If they didn't open the opponent's goal in the first half, it would be even more difficult to score in the second half.
"Okay, don't act like your girlfriends have dumped you. We didn't score, and neither did they. As long as we can defend, it will be a draw at best. I'll talk to the boss to see if we can reduce the size of the banquet. Before, it was one supermodel per person, but now that we haven't won, can we have two people per supermodel?" Giuly said.
Zidane is the biggest faction in the Barcelona team, but the one who has the best relationship with the players in the Barcelona team is not Zidane, but Giuly, who just joined the team this year.
This French athlete, who was supposed to be very romantic, talking about foie gras, caviar and red wine, has a very good temper. The most important thing is that he doesn't make people feel the romance and nobility of the French at all, but instead speaks in a coquettish way.
"Maybe the boss will have to pay double the price, which may be higher than one supermodel per person. After all, you know what it is. Otherwise, let's go to a nightclub without a supermodel. This way, instead of one supermodel for two people, one person can have several."
"Is your waist okay?"
"I can beat ten people by myself. You heard about it last time."
"Get lost. That's a rumor. It's a lie made up by the tabloids. It's not credible. I just conquered a Hollywood star, which has proved my physical strength."
Men are undoubtedly most interested in talking about women. After such an interruption, the low atmosphere in the locker room was interrupted, and everyone smiled, even if such a smile seemed a little vulgar.
"Okay guys, whether you want to have fun or go to a nightclub tonight depends on your performance in the second half. I know you were very tired in the first half, but this is not a reason to lose the game, because everyone is tired, and Milan is tired too.
So in the second half, I will not arrange for you to go back to the half court to defend, but continue to strengthen the offense. However, we need some strategies for this offense, such as opening up the space, and not crowding everyone together. We have the best striker in the world, and there is no reason why we can't pierce the shield of Milan."
The team's head coach Frank took out the tactical board and patted it to attract the attention of all the players, and then began to rank and arrange the formation on the tactical board.
During the half-time break, Yang Dongxu did not go to the team's locker room. The players performed well in the first half. Some things need their adjustment, such as stimulation and morale-boosting. If you say it, just do it. There is no need to promise more things in the past, otherwise it will leave the players with some bad ideas.
After halftime, when the sides changed again, seeing that Barcelona still played a 4:3:3 offensive formation, Milan's head coach frowned, and even had a trace of anger in his heart.
Not only the head coach of Milan, but also the players of Milan were somewhat angry. They are the top clubs in Serie A, the top clubs in the world's top league.
You are a top club in La Liga that was built with money. It's fine if you pressed us in the first half. What, you think we are not good enough, and you want to press us in the second half? Do you think Milan is a second-tier team that you can easily abuse in La Liga?
The head coach of the Milan team kept shouting and gesticulating on the sidelines. As a famous coach, he clearly felt the emotional changes of the players, so he kept reminding them to pay attention to defense.
However, a single-player defense that suppresses players is not the best strategy to win this game, and it may even cause conflicts between some teams. So while reminding players to pay attention to defense, he kept gesturing and emphasizing that they should try to control the ball and then defend and counterattack.
After getting the ball at the beginning of the game, Barcelona didn't care about the release behind them. They rushed into the Milan defense area after getting the ball. However, this breakthrough was different from the first half when they caught the opportunity and bombarded the goal. There were more long passes or continuous back passes.
In short, Milan's iron-like release formation was mobilized to run, and as long as they moved, they could find flaws.
And the facts also proved that Frank's strategy was very correct. 12 minutes into the second half, when the Milan players who were suppressed in their own half and became more and more angry began to press forward and prepare to fight for the ball and counterattack.
Barcelona finally found the opportunity they had been looking for. First, Giuly lobbed the ball to Ronaldinho. Ronaldinho, like a fairy football sticking to his feet, began to dribble past people and rush in. The Milan players who were originally defending next to him had to come over to help defend, because the Milan player in front of Ronaldinho had been passed.
Just as the two began to double-team Ronaldinho, Ronaldinho, who had rushed in for a distance, suddenly turned the corner and made a pass. The football found a gap between the double-teamed Milan players and landed directly at the feet of Zidane, who was not marked. He shot without any hesitation. The football was fast and in the dead corner of the goal.
After a half-time effort in the first half and a half-time effort to find opportunities in the second half, Barcelona finally let the football under their feet penetrate the Milan gate.
Cheers broke out in the audience area, and the players on the long side jumped up and high-fived and hugged each other. It was not easy, but it finally succeeded. Because this goal gave Barcelona an absolute advantage.
If Milan wants to win, they must go out of the half zone to attack Barcelona's goal. Once the iron bucket formation is dispersed, it is basically impossible for Milan to defend again with the number of shots Barcelona had in the first half.
After the head coach Frank waved his fists excitedly twice, he began to make gestures and shout, asking the celebrating players to keep working hard, and the tactical instructions issued were to continue attacking.
In terms of defense, Barcelona is definitely not Milan's opponent. After all, they can use defense to shut out Inter Milan, but Barcelona doesn't have that ability.
But if they play the bombardment tactic, Milan is very powerful but Barcelona is not inferior at all. Barcelona, which has many stars, plays the bombardment goal. If they can't beat them with this obvious advantage, then just disband.
The game continued. Milan, who lost a goal, really couldn't avoid in their own half and look for suitable opportunities to defend and counterattack. They had to actively look for opportunities.
Such a strong defensive formation was forced to be pulled apart, which gave Barcelona more opportunities. Facing the iron barrel-like defense, Barcelona's stars passed the players who were guarding them and were intercepted by the Milan players who were assisting in defense.
But once Milan's defensive formation was opened and they passed the players in front of them, Barcelona players found that although the road ahead was not smooth, the space for them to dribble the ball became larger, and the various passing angles were also very good.
In this way, the game time came to the 23rd minute of the second half. Giuly's long pass from the right half to the left half was steadily stopped by Ronaldinho. Then Zidane began to rush into the penalty area to attract enough players to let go. Ronaldinho played a beautiful ox-tailed Chinese trick on Milan's midfielder, and then a lob shot directly avoided the Milan goalkeeper's outstretched hands.
2-0!
The whole audience cheered again, but there were even louder boos. There was no way that Barcelona fans only occupied a small part of the fans on the scene, and more than 80% of the others were Milan fans. Even if Barcelona fans were all loud, they could not beat so many people.
However, 2-0 basically locked the provincial bureau. Even if Milan scored two goals in the end, Barcelona still took the initiative because of the away goals. In short, a draw was considered a win for Barcelona, who made this an away game.
The second goal made the Barcelona players excited, while the Milan players became more anxious, and anxiety can easily lead to problems. Even the Milan coach's shouting reminders on the sidelines still did not help.
In the end, Barcelona beat Milan 3-0 easily in this Serie A stadium of great significance, giving the host a painful zero as a souvenir, and then all the players went to the locker room to pack up their things, although they were panting and very tired.
But the spirit seemed to be as excited as if they had taken stimulants. In addition to winning the game, this excitement is naturally the party at night. It doesn't matter what you eat, but there will definitely be a lot of beauties.
