Chapter 68 No Longer Elegant
The dull rhythm makes people drowsy, but no one can really fall asleep. This kind of game is often an instant opportunity, and it really only takes a second to change the game.
No one wants to miss the possible exciting because of a momentary negligence, especially the Milan fans at the scene. Not only can they not feel tired, but they have to cheer up and inject more motivation into the team.
At this time, Klopp's performance was more stealthy than Allegri's. Zhou Tiancheng succeeded in counter-robbing several times, but because Gotze did not have a running position and did not open up space, Barrios did not retreat in time, causing Zhou Tiancheng to lead The ball fell into a dead end of front and rear pincers when it went forward, and was brought down frequently, squandering precious counterattack opportunities.
Seeing this, Klopp frowned and stood on the sidelines making a gesture to open the space at Gotze.
Gotze and Zhou Tiancheng saw it, but Dortmund's counterattack did not pose much threat. Zhou Tiancheng encountered a big obstacle when he was engaged in a counterattack. The new Italian international Aquilani was very desperate, and he stuck to Zhou Tiancheng. Putting a sandbag, this meat grinder style is very Italian defensive strategy. A defensive art like Nesta is rare, and it is not typical in Serie A. It is more like Aquilani, full of aggressiveness, and the scene of people turning their backs on their backs is the characteristic that accompanies Serie A teams.
But today is at San Siro, and the Dutch referee Kupels is obviously a moderate. He only calls fouls and does not draw cards. To some extent, it is an indirect benefit for AC Milan.
At the end of halftime, dozens of fans sat in two rows behind Zhou Zhenyong and around him in one of the stands at San Siro. They all stood up and booed wildly at the stadium, although their voices seemed insignificant in front of tens of thousands of home fans. It was quickly covered up, but it was not over yet, they shouted angrily, expressing their dissatisfaction with the scene.
"Black whistle! Black whistle!"
"Referee, can you make more black points? The black whistle is cool for a while, the whole family crematorium!"
Their voices were so loud that at least the Milan fans in the nearby stands heard them. Although they couldn't understand Chinese and didn't know what they were cursing, they all knew that it was definitely not a good word, and everyone glared at them.
Zhou Zhenyong quickly turned around and motioned everyone to sit down: "Calm down, quality, we have quality, don't be looked down upon by them, we are quality fans."
The hot-blooded young man pouted dissatisfiedly: "Uncle, don't stop us, we are going to vent your anger on your son, can you bear it?"
Zhou Zhenyong laughed to appease everyone's emotions, but that was his duty as an organizer and an elder, and he had to appease these young people not to cause trouble here. As for his own true thoughts, at this time he cursed inwardly, "I'm the referee." Go to Nima", he knows that the second half will be more difficult, at least it is unlikely to win a big victory.
Klopp naturally saw this too. During the intermission, he closed the door, slapped the tactical board heavily, and roared to everyone: "Attack! Attack! The only way we play is to attack! In the first half you It's going to put me to sleep. We have too few chances. The real reason for all this is that you put too little pressure on them. I don't want to see such a scene in the second half. No effort, hehe, if the team is abused, you, everyone, just wait for the abuse when you go back, I will make you feel very comfortable!"
Although Klopp stimulates the players in this way, it does not mean that he has no active adjustments. Removing Barrios and replacing Lewandowski is a targeted adjustment. Lewandowski's overall awareness Stronger, able to link midfield more effectively. Klopp is all about creating more connections between the midfield and the strikers.
And Allegri still chose to stay still, glanced at Muntari, Nocerino, and Ambrosini on the bench, and still felt that it was too early to make an effort at this point.
In the Champions League, Allegri was far more cautious than facing the Serie A team,
On the other hand, this is also conservative, and his conservativeness gave Dortmund a chance.
In the second half, Dortmund obviously accelerated the pace of passing the ball. From the exchange of the ball to kick-off, only Sven Bender was left behind in the core defensive area around the central arc. With double midfielders, Lewandowski is just a tactical fulcrum. After receiving the ball, he must pass it back immediately, and the two midfielders choose the attack method.
The AC Milan defender quickly discovered Dortmund's tactics. Nesta and Mex bypassed Lewandowski and went directly to Gotze who received the ball.
"Mario!"
When Gotze saw Zhou Tiancheng slanting into the penalty area, he gestured to himself, buckled Mex's defense, and made a direct pass behind AC Milan's defense.
Zhou Tiancheng dodged Abbiati who was attacking, but when he was about to kick up, he felt someone pulling him, and his center of gravity was slightly staggered. He stabilized his center of gravity with one hand on the ground, and when he got up again, he found Nath The tower was already in front of him.
"Zhou Tiancheng, chance! One-on-one against Nesta!"
Nesta himself was far more nervous than the commentator and the Chinese fans, and there was an empty goal behind him.
Seeing Zhou Tiancheng swaying his legs in front of him, Nesta didn't move, but focused his eyes on Zhou Tiancheng's feet. When Zhou Tiancheng turned to the right, he immediately shifted his center of gravity.
But Zhou Tiancheng turned half a circle to the right, and then turned back counterclockwise. When Nesta saw Zhou Tiancheng get rid of it, his eyes froze suddenly, he turned around forcibly, and his feet staggered, but he didn't care about it at all, he was desperate He fell to the ground and intercepted, and the whole person fell to the ground completely.
But in the next second, he realized that Zhou Tiancheng spun half a circle to get out of the way of him, and completely swayed the defense.
Damn, another feint, damn it!
Nesta only hated that he couldn't be five years younger, otherwise he definitely wouldn't be so embarrassed.
But now there was nothing he could do. Zhou Tiancheng gained space and quickly shot a low shot from the far corner, which was beyond Abbiati's reach.
"Beautiful! Hahaha, Zhou Tiancheng completely beat Nesta... No, this should be called a play! At this time, he is the most elegant dancer on the field. Nesta does not have the demeanor of an elegant guard at all."
Nesta looked at Zhou Tiancheng, who was celebrating recklessly, with resentful eyes. Although he was not worried that his fame would be lost at the end of the festival, it was indeed a bit embarrassing to be teased like this by his juniors.
The AC Milan fans in front of the TV couldn't help cheering for Zhou Tiancheng. Although they felt sorry for Nesta, Zhou Tiancheng showed such a performance. As Chinese fans, they did not hesitate to give their applause.
At the same time, they also recognized a fact in their hearts: when Nesta's defense is no longer elegant, the legend may really end.
