Chapter 410 I Have an Idea! [The Fourth Update, Please Subscribe to a Monthly Pass]
"Ajax made a substitution."
"Ronald Koeman replaced No. 10 Pinar with No. 5 Vlaral."
"It was a very conservative substitution."
"Pinar is the left winger of the team. When we are two goals behind, we replace a left winger and a central defender. This is definitely not a positive adjustment, but we have to see how to play it. Ajax's change on the pitch."
...
Yang Yang was also a little surprised when he saw the number plate of the substitution on the sidelines.
At this point in the game, replace a winger and replace a central defender?
Flair can strengthen the team's anti-high ball, which should be helpful to limit Gilardino.
Pinar can be replaced...
"Yang, Wesley!"
Taking advantage of the dead ball, Yang Yang and Sneijder were both called to the sidelines.
"We need to limit their two forwards. After Flar went up, we played five backs, but the two full-backs can press forward properly, especially Maicon on the right, let him suppress Seedorf. "
Yang Yang's eyes lit up when he heard it, three central defenders against two forwards, this can be done.
Flaral followed Gilardino, Heitinga and Vermaelen were all very mobile, and they were also very good at taking the ball and playing the ball. If you pull the side, you can even play as a full-back without any problem.
As for them pulling sides, De Jong can completely withdraw, this is also a versatile backcourt.
"Remember, tell Maicon and Maxwell that we will give them the wing!"
After being patted on the shoulder by Ronald Koeman, Yang Yang and Sneijder looked at each other, nodded, and quickly returned to the court.
…………
…………
This is indeed a slightly conservative substitution.
But Ajax did not lose their fighting spirit.
After Yang Yang and Sneijder conveyed the coach's intentions back on the pitch, Ajax's tactics changed.
Yang Yang began to gain more and greater freedom. He was no longer limited to the right, but cruising in any position in the frontcourt.
Wherever there is a space, he will go.
Charistias is the fulcrum of the field, topping the front.
This powerful Greek center is also very intimidating to AC Milan's center back, especially to Kaladze.
With a central defender behind him, the two full-backs were liberated to a certain extent, and Sneijder and Yaya Toure in midfield also began to show more activity.
In fact, the activity of Ajax, to some extent, can also reflect the gradual downturn of AC Milan.
This is also the norm for AC Milan.
Always in the case of winning steadily, he began to become negligent.
When the game reached the 73rd minute, Ajax once again played a quick counterattack.
Maicon dribbled the ball forward quickly along the right, and after reaching the 30-meter area of AC Milan, he saw Yang Yang pulled to the right and opened the defensive position for him, so he immediately chose to cut to the ribs.
This is a tacit understanding between the two.
Pirlo immediately stepped forward to entangle Maicon, and Maicon immediately distributed the ball to the right flank.
Yang Yang stopped the ball unhurriedly, Serginho didn't dare to be careless about him at all, and stared at him with his mortal enemy.
After Maicon passed the ball, he ran over quickly and went to the space to receive it.
Yang Yang quickly passed the ball back to Maicon, and he suddenly accelerated to start.
At that moment, Serginho hesitated, considering whether to stare at Maicon or Yang Yang.
But it was this hesitation that prevented him from following Yang Yang in time.
Maicon understood, and when Pirlo stood in front of him, the ball hit the bottom line.
Yang Yang and Serginho competed for speed. The 34-year-old Brazilian veteran was Yang Yang's opponent, and he was easily left behind.
After Yang Yang caught up with the ball, he made a direct arcing pass with his right foot, and passed out a precise arcing ball.
Charisteas blocked Kaladze with his body at the front point, and he shook his head to attack the goal in the face of the incoming ball.
Dida's reaction speed is not fast enough. He took the lead in judging the angle of Charlesteas' attack, bent down and blocked, and even blocked the Greek center's close-range header.
But the ball didn't fly far. It was Yaya Toure who came up behind him. He got ahead of Gattuso and Nesta. AC Milan's goal.
After the Ivorian midfielder scored, he was so excited that he screamed.
Ajax players swarmed to celebrate Yaya Toure.
Yang Yang also ran over, hugged Yaya Toure warmly, and at the same time comforted Charlesteas.
The Greek center is indeed not an efficient scorer, otherwise, the ball like just now should not have been saved by Dida.
On the contrary, Yaya Toure and Sneijder, Ajax's two midfielders have a very strong offensive desire.
Fortunately, there are defensive players like De Jong behind him.
But this is still a little thin in the Champions League.
…………
…………
Ajax scored another goal and the situation became tense again.
Ancelotti finally made the first substitution adjustment of the game.
This time, he replaced Serginho with 39-year-old Costacurta.
It was clear that he wasn't comfortable enough with the Brazilian full-back's performance.
Both goals came from his side, and it's hard to say he wasn't responsible.
Although Costacurta is thirty-nine years old and his physical fitness is far from what he was in the past, he is very experienced and can handle any situation with ease.
This allowed Ajax's attack on the right flank to be contained.
Subsequently, Ancelotti immediately made a second substitution, Rui Costa replaced Kaka.
If the previous substitution was to strengthen the team's defense, then the Portuguese replaced Kaka, obviously to fight a tough battle, because in the absence of counter-attack space, Kaka's role is not very obvious.
And the facts also proved that Ancelotti's substitution was correct.
After Rui Costa came on the field, AC Milan played a very wonderful cooperation in less than three minutes.
After the Portuguese got the ball, he dunked the defender and made a diagonal pass with his right foot to the front point. Shevchenko suddenly and quickly plugged in, pressed Heitinga, rushed to the top at close range, and headed the goal.
The ball flew directly into the goal of Ajax, and Stekelenburg was beyond the reach of it!
A brace!
Shevchenko scored the second goal of the game and the tenth Champions League goal of the season!
The Ukrainian nuclear warhead was so excited that he rushed out of the stadium, receiving cheers and applause from more than 70,000 AC Milan fans along the way.
Four to two!
"AC Milan's cooperation this time is indeed quite beautiful!"
"As soon as Rui Costa came on, he gave the team a wonderful assist."
"Portuguese is really impressive in terms of creativity, and Shevchenko's goal made him once again overwhelm Yang Yang in the Champions League scorer list and become the current Champions League scorer list. Top scorer!"
"Ancelotti also started his third substitution adjustment at this time."
"Ambrosini replaced Gilardino."
"It's also a substitution that is biased towards the conservative side."
"It should be said that the game has been going on for 80 minutes, and AC Milan can basically be said to be the winner. Ancelotti is still thinking more about how to keep the current score."
"Four to two, although it gave the opponent two away goals, AC Milan still firmly holds the initiative to advance."
"The second round of the game between the two sides is quite beneficial to AC Milan, which is good at playing defensive counterattacks."
…………
…………
Ajax also quickly made substitution adjustments.
Veteran Galasek replaced Heitinga.
The Dutch central defender's performance in this game was indeed not ideal. Even in the second half, he was still seized by Shevchenko and scored a header from above him.
His state is obviously relatively low.
Of course, not only Heitinga, but Pirlo of AC Milan also performed quite ordinary in this game.
On the contrary, Seedorf was very active, and Rui Costa, who came off the bench, also performed very well.
After the substitutions, Ajax returned to a 442 formation.
After Ambrosini replaced Gilardino, AC Milan's midfield was further strengthened, leaving a Shevchenko in the frontcourt.
Ancelotti's strategy is also very clear, that is, to drag the score to the end.
Four to two, for AC Milan, is really a pretty good result.
As for Ajax, maybe everyone will think that the Eredivisie team has been able to fight to this level, it is already commendable. Yang Yang scored a goal and planned another goal, which can be regarded as a submission. Qualified answer sheet.
But he still feels uneasy!
In the 80th minute of the game, he was really tired and out of breath.
Whenever he got the chance, he stopped and gasped for breath.
Bean-sized beads of sweat kept falling from his head, and he was soaked all over.
But he still felt unwilling.
Skills are not as good as others, but AC Milan did not play well in this game.
Not only missed a lot of scoring opportunities, but also played very lax in the second half.
More importantly, if you are two goals behind, how do you go back to the home court?
When switching to the left once, Yang Yang received a pass from Maxwell and took the ball on the left to face Stam.
He starts fast and wants to get rid of the Dutch centre-back quickly.
But although Stam's speed is not as good as him, his physical quality is worse than him. He squeezed him with his body and made a lot of small movements, forcing Yang Yang to fail to get rid of his defense.
The two entangled all the way to the bottom line of the penalty area on the left. Yang Yang was forced to cross, and the ball hit Stam's feet and went out of the bottom line.
"Boy, you are really difficult to deal with." Stam reached out and wiped the back of his neck, and he was also sweating profusely.
Yang Yang responded with a smile, feeling very helpless in his heart.
As one of the world's top central defenders in the past, Stam's defensive ability is really not covered.
This is also the reason why he has not come to the left in this game.
Gattuso plus Stam, where can he take advantage?
Raised his head, glanced at the scoreboard, eighty-nine minutes.
Time is running out, is this really the end?
Two to four, it's not easy to chase after returning to the home court!
At least one more goal, right?
Players from Ajax and AC Milan came to the penalty area one after another, preparing to attack and defend corner kicks.
Sneijder is ready to come over for a corner kick.
And just when Yang Yang and Sneijder passed by, he suddenly grabbed Sneijder.
"I have an idea." Yang Yang said suddenly.
