Chapter 407 The Way to Open the Script Is Wrong
The San Siro market is extremely hot.
According to the information obtained before the game, this game will be packed.
There will be as many as 76,800 fans in the stands to watch the game, and only a few of them are fans of the visiting team Ajax, and they are also assigned to the most corners of the area.
This is also the consistent practice of all Champions League home teams.
When Ajax arrived at the San Siro Stadium, the AC Milan fans on the scene gave them a note of Mawei.
The players were booed deafeningly as they got off the bus.
But this has long been accustomed to Ajax.
"Don't be nervous, the more they booed, the better we played."
As the captain of the team, Yang Yang landed at the back of the team and sent his teammates into the player tunnel one by one before he turned to leave, and at the same time did not forget to encourage his teammates aloud.
Back in the locker room, Yang Yang took his teammates to pack up and went directly to the San Siro Stadium for the final training before the game.
At this time, the huge stand was already full of people.
The scene, the momentum, was extremely spectacular.
But unlike the time at the Bernabeu, the Real Madrid fans were still more graceful. The AC Milan fans were full of a lot of abuse and humiliation, which not only reflected the hot atmosphere of the scene, but also the quality of the fans.
Football hooligans in Italy are not inferior to England's.
"Yang, welcome to San Siro!"
Shevchenko, the Ukrainian nuclear warhead, walked quickly towards Yang Yang and stretched out his hand from a distance.
Maldini retired from injury, he is the captain of AC Milan.
"Thank you." Yang Yang also smiled and shook hands with him.
"You've had a great season, but here tonight, it's not easy to score again," Shevchenko laughed.
Yang Yang shrugged, "You too, and I'm full of confidence in myself."
"Good thing, let's wait and see."
"it is good."
After the two shook hands again, Shevchenko quickly ran back to his team's training area.
For the time being, it's still unclear what AC Milan's lineup will be, but a few players will definitely be there.
Yang Yang saw Kaka from a distance, and the Brazilian waved his right hand towards him as a greeting.
He could feel that AC Milan carried the strong self-confidence of a giant team.
In contrast, although Ajax is also a world-renowned team, it is far from being a European giant.
…………
…………
After the last training session before the game, Ajax got AC Milan's starting lineup after returning to the dressing room.
The goalkeeper is Dida and the back line is Serginho, Kaladze, Nesta and Stam.
The midfielder took a small diamond-shaped stance, Pirlo dragged behind, Seedorf was on the left, Gattuso was on the right, and Kaka stepped forward.
The front two strikers are Shevchenko and Gilardino.
Such a lineup configuration is not unexpected, even if Ancelotti starts with Gilardino.
Obviously, in the eyes of the Italians, this will be a tough battle.
"As I said before, this game we will grab a wave after the opening."
"Ten minutes, if we can score, we will score, if we can't score, we will retire!"
"You must not give AC Milan a chance, especially after conceding the ball."
…………
…………
When Ronald Koeman was admonishing his players, the home team's coaching bench also got Ajax's starting lineup.
There was also no surprise.
The goalkeeper is Stekelenburg, and the back line is Maxwell, Vermaelen, Heitinga and Maicon.
The midfield is Yaya Toure, De Jong and Sneijder.
The frontcourt is a trident combination of Pinar, Charistyas and Yang Yang.
"Ajax is a very difficult team. Yang Yang's personal ability to dribble and break through is very strong and his scoring efficiency is very high. He will definitely be the most threatening player in Ajax, and also our game in this game. must pay attention.”
"Whether he's on the left flank or the right flank, our defense needs to be 100 percent focused."
There are gaps in the defense of both sides of AC Milan. This is a well-known thing, and it is impossible for Ancelotti to not know.
But there is only one Gattuso. If it is placed on the left, the right will be empty. If it is placed on the right, it will naturally not be able to take care of the left.
"If I'm not wrong, they're going to rush after the opening."
"This is one of the few opportunities for Ajax. Their pressing and pressing in the midfield is very good, so they will use the opening lead to build an advantage. This is something we have to pay attention to."
It's not hard to guess, because Ajax's overall strength is at a disadvantage.
If the rhythm of the game and the passing and possession of the ball are controlled by AC Milan, with Ajax's defensive ability, it is basically impossible to keep the goal, especially at the San Siro.
Get the start, let AC Milan press out to play, maybe there is still a chance.
"Then let them grab it, and we'll fight their counterattack!"
…………
…………
With the whistle of the referee, this world-renowned focus battle finally kicked off.
Ajax, who took the lead in kick-off, as expected by Ancelotti before the game, took the initiative to press forward, trying to speed up the rhythm from the beginning, and strive for a fast-paced attack.
However, AC Milan seems to have been prepared for this. They have the advantage of passing and controlling the ball and patiently squatted in their own half.
In the opening two minutes, after a round of fierce fighting between the two teams in AC Milan's half, the Rossoneri took the lead in launching a threatening offensive. Passing the defender, shoots with the right foot.
This kick failed to hold the ball and went above the goal.
And Seedorf's long shot came from Kaka's pass.
Yang Yang began to realize that there was something wrong with the script of this game, and it did not follow Ajax's pre-match plan. AC Milan was obviously well prepared and was not afraid of Ajax's attack.
In fact, Ajax is robbing, but not attacking!
If Seedorf's sudden long-range shot just now did not create much threat, then the subsequent counterattack made people feel the sharpness of AC Milan.
Gattuso passed it to Kaka at the front of the penalty area, the latter then passed into the penalty area, and Shevchenko shoveled a shot from seven meters in front of the goal.
Although the ball passed through the sliding door, everyone was shocked and sweated.
Everyone at Ajax also realized that the rhythm of the game was completely wrong.
They couldn't grab the ball at all, and instead exposed their back line.
With the weak defense of Ajax, can it stop the counterattacks of Shevchenko, Gilardino and Kaka?
Ronald Koeman on the sidelines also realized the problem, especially when he saw Yang Yang shaking his head at him, the head coach realized that the game could not continue like this.
So, he quickly made adjustments.
Ajax's attack failed, and the team entered the defensive counterattack stage in advance.
But even so, AC Milan seemed to be on a stick, refusing to let Ajax retreat easily, and moved forward slowly.
Soon, the home team produced the most threatening attack since the start.
Pirlo crossed into the penalty area and Gilardino headed the goal.
Stekelenburg blocked the ball in shock, but then Seedorf stopped the ball in the chest and volleyed directly.
Maicon made a contribution to this defense!
The Brazilian right-back chased Seedorf all the way. When he volleyed the goal, he interfered with the Dutch midfielder, forcing the opponent to fail to hit the central position and directly hit the high again.
After the opening, the expected attack did not work, but AC Milan created a series of murderous intentions.
Ajax is very passive on the scene, especially the defensive pressure in the middle and back is very high.
Sneijder, De Jong and Yaya Toure are basically stuck in front of the line, making it difficult for the attacking front to create a threat.
Ajax's first shot came in the 18th minute.
Yang Yang dribbled the ball along the right and launched a counterattack, but without the support of his teammates, he was forced to the wing by Serginho. In the end, he could only kick the ball to Serginho and earn a corner kick. .
After Sneijder sent a corner kick, Yaya Toure headed the goal, but Dida saved it with one hand.
But two minutes later, AC Milan quickly launched a counterattack.
Kaka dribbled the ball into the penalty area on the right and shot directly, which was blocked by the returning center defender Fermaelen.
But a minute later, AC Milan made a comeback, Pirlo crossed the penalty area again, Gilardino beat Heitinga again, headed the goal from close range, wanted to take a far corner, but failed to head straight, the ball again Sliding through the door.
AC Milan's continuous attack has made Ajax feel tremendous pressure.
Whether it's Gilardino's suppression of two central defenders, Shevchenko's activity, or Kaka's sharp dribbling breakthrough, AC Milan's offense has made Ajax overwhelmed.
In the first 20 minutes, there was only one shot on goal, which was indeed quite embarrassing.
…………
…………
Yang Yang is an offensive player. He is very aware of the team's defensive pressure, but he is helpless.
Ronald Koeman told him long before the game that the rest of the team could return to defense, but he couldn't.
Because he is the last hope of the team's attack, if he withdraws, with the strength of AC Milan, he will swallow Ajax to the bone.
On the contrary, Yang Yang stayed in front, which could also make AC Milan feel the threat of counterattack.
Yang Yang can clearly see the holes in the opponent's defense, but the problem now is that Ajax can't get the ball out.
Without the ball, even if the opponent puts the goal in front of you, it is in vain.
AC Milan's first half is indeed quite good, full of control.
Even Yang Yang himself felt that if he continued to play like this, he would be scored sooner or later.
If it weren't for the slightly poorer ability of AC Milan players to seize opportunities, the score would not be zero to zero now.
It's not good to keep kicking like this!
Yang Yang frowned and thought.
As the team's attacker, the most important thing he should consider is how to score goals.
There are too many gaps in AC Milan's left defense, Serginho's defensive ability is insufficient, Seedorf is more involved in the attack, and there is only one Pirlo at most.
As long as he gets the ball at the right time, Yang Yang is sure to cause a little trouble for the opponent.
Even a goal!
But now the question is, how to get the ball?
