Chapter 548 He Is Too Dangerous! [The Fourth Update of the Liver Explosion, Please Subscribe to the Monthly Pass]

The role of the core star is often reflected in the moment when the opportunity appears.

For example, Yang Yang's opening goal, or Kaka, the maker of Pirlo's free kick, took the ball.

But for most of the rest of the time, there's really not much the core stars can do.

Yang Yang hopes that he can smash the opponent's goal by one person, like an NBA star.

But unfortunately, it was basketball, but now he is playing football, and it is football at the highest level.

...

Both teams clearly felt that the situation in the first half did not warrant an adjustment.

Liverpool had the upper hand, AC Milan defended very well, and neither side was willing to make changes easily.

No one knows how the situation will develop after taking the initiative to change.

The hot weather and different tactics forced Liverpool to consume more than AC Milan.

And obviously, in the second half, AC Milan began to try to fight back.

First, Kaka formed an offside, followed by Kaka's long-distance attack in the middle, which was destroyed by Mascherano's accurate and decisive tackle. The Argentine midfielder started in March. In just a few games, he completely conquered Everyone at Liverpool.

Liverpool have never been able to find an effective way to break the AC Milan goal.

Yang Yang was closely guarded by Otto and Gattuso in the frontcourt. Ancelotti even seemed to have the feeling that he would use two players to lock Yang Yang. In the first half, Kuyt, Pennant, and even It is Gerrard who misses the opportunity frequently, and it makes AC Milan feel that this tactic of exchange is very cost-effective.

Liverpool adopted high pressing tactics, and Inzaghi was offside for the third time.

The man described by Ferguson as surviving on the offside line, today, apart from that lucky refraction goal, his biggest performance was on a few offsides, but Liverpool's anti-offsides did a good job.

The situation is changing little by little.

The average age of AC Milan players is older, but Liverpool's tactical style of play consumes more.

This made the two sides seem to have reached a certain balance again.

The situation on the field has also become a bit deadlocked.

Benitez finally made a substitution adjustment in the 63rd minute.

…………

…………

In front of the visiting team's coach, Ancelotti saw Liverpool's first substitution.

No. 15 Crouch replaced No. 16 Pennant.

"He finally couldn't take it anymore." Ancelotti smiled, walked back immediately, looked at the bench, and signaled that Karadze was ready to play, Jankulovsky already had a yellow card, it was time Replace him.

As Benitez expected, Ancelotti had prepared a plan to deal with Crouch early.

Jankulovski started in order to be able to win some offensive opportunities, but unexpectedly, Liverpool's advantage in the first half would be so obvious, and the goal was scored after the opening, which was quite unfavorable to AC Milan.

Fortunately, Pirlo's free kick was lucky, and the ball hit the big Inzaghi and refracted and scored.

Now, the two sides have finally returned to the same starting line. Ancelotti is convinced that if this stalemate continues, the game will only become more and more beneficial to AC Milan, because Liverpool's style of play will only increase in this hot weather. increasingly disadvantageous.

"Write a note and ask Kaladze to bring it up and tell Maldini to let Seedorf come back and hand it over to Kaka in the frontcourt. He must pay attention to the defense and protect our left flank, and we can't let Liverpool cross any more."

In the absence of Crouch, Ancelotti's own two central defenders were full of confidence in the control, but now that Crouch is on, any team is defending a player over two meters tall, It is impossible to allow the opponent to pass at will.

"In addition, tell Maldini to pay more attention to the defense, and to stabilize the defense first is the first priority."

Tasotti nodded, and immediately wrote Ancelotti's words into a simple and clear note and handed it to Calazze.

It's a regular occurrence on the pitch, a way for the head coach to pass on a message to the players on the pitch.

Many of the contents on the notes are tacit understandings that have been experienced on weekdays, so they can be written very simply and can be understood at a glance.

"Their midfield is amazing!" Ancelotti shook his head and sighed.

Xavi Alonso and Mascherano form a double midfielder, which is simply a barrier in front of Liverpool's defense. Coupled with Gerrard, Liverpool's entire midfield can be described as impregnable, and even suppressed AC Milan tonight. the midfield.

Kaka and Seedorf did not perform at all, and Liverpool's midfield intensity is evident.

"The main thing is that we are held back by Yang Yang." Tasotti explained.

Ancelotti nodded frequently, and a Yang Yang asked AC Milan to use two players to guard him. It was no wonder that the midfielder was not at a disadvantage.

Not to mention Yang Yang scored a goal in the opening game. Even if he didn't score, he alone contained two defenders. Liverpool was enough.

If there is no Yang Yang, Gattuso will free up his hand again, Liverpool's midfield advantage will not be so obvious.

But even now, even though the game has been going on for nearly 65 minutes, Ancelotti still does not dare to let his guard down on Yang Yang, because he is too dangerous!

"One more thing, tell Gattuso and Otto to pay attention to cutting off the connection between Crouch and Yang Yang, be sure to pay attention!"

A hint of worry flashed in Ancelotti's eyes, but he was still not at ease with Yang Yang.

If you want to say the most threatening player in the Liverpool team, it goes without saying that it must be Yang Yang.

It can even be said that the more stalemate the game looks, the more dangerous Yang Yang is.

Players like Yang Yang and Kaka no longer need to prove anything with goals or assists. Their presence on the court itself is the most threatening thing.

Just like Kaka, there is only one long shot in the audience, but almost all of AC Milan's threatening attacks come from him.

Just give him the ball, give him a chance, and he can shine.

Why not Liverpool?

If Kuyt, Pennant and Gerrard were better at seizing opportunities, Liverpool would have at least a three-to-zero lead in the first half. Yang Yang sent them several good passes and planned several attacks, but they didn't. Can score.

"Don't worry, he seems to be wearing a lot of energy, and he feels a little bit unbearable." Tasotti said looking at Yang Yang on the field.

After the second half, although Yang Yang still ran more aggressively, it seemed that the consumption was not small, not as bright as the first half.

"In the end, he is only twenty years old. In such an important final, the pressure is so great, and the consumption is so amazing. It is estimated that he is also a little overwhelmed." Tasotti guessed.

Ancelotti shook his head, "Don't be careless, don't forget, this is his second Champions League final, as well as the last season's finale."

For Yang Yang, Ancelotti knows better than anyone else.

The more critical it is, the more threatening he will be able to play, the more terrifying it is!

After being reminded by Ancelotti, Tasotti didn't dare to be careless.

…………

…………

AC Milan quickly made the first substitution adjustment.

Less than a minute after Crouch played, Ancelotti replaced Jankulovski with Kaladze.

This made Benitez in front of the coach's bench tensed, because he knew that this was Ancelotti's plan to defend Crouch.

There is no hope for a side pass!

...

On the court, Yang Yang admired Benitez's judgment even more.

Because he found that everything really did not exceed the coach's expectations.

Except for the lucky goal of AC Milan, everything is in Benitez's deduction.

My own head coach is like a supercomputer!

Especially his usual icy, mechanical appearance without the slightest expression, makes people wonder if he is a robot.

...

If Liverpool's right-sided performance was very active in the first half, and Pennant made threats on the right-sided again and again, then, after Kaladze played, AC Milan completely blocked this loophole.

Game time passed by every second.

After making a substitution, neither side seems to have the idea of ​​making another substitution.

Time quickly entered seventy minutes.

After Kaladze came on, Liverpool's wing crosses were limited, and it was difficult for the team to play the kind of offensive in the first half.

But AC Milan's situation is not much better, it is also difficult to play a threatening attack.

...

Yang Yang looked up at the scoreboard, seventy-five minutes had passed.

He could clearly feel that Liverpool players had begun to gradually show fatigue.

The temperature in Athens is too hot, which is quite unfavorable for this kind of siege team, and the consumption is very huge.

Once the team can't run and can't establish a lead, the final result will be unpredictable and may even be bad.

After Liverpool's gradual inability to run, AC Milan's counterattack began to create a threat.

Seedorf finally hit the first shot of the game, a volley near the penalty spot, but it was blocked by Xavi Alonso's body and failed to directly threaten the goal, but it was enough for Liverpool Players wake up.

"You can't continue like this!" Yang Yang muttered to himself.

Gotta find a chance!

No chance?

Then force the opportunity!

Since this season, Yang Yang feels that his overall strength is not only improving, but his confidence is also getting stronger and stronger.

At least, on the court, he no longer doubts whether he can do it, but is thinking about how to do it.

Even if there are five consecutive people who repeat Messi, this is the case!

This is obviously two different levels of state of mind, which should be regarded as his biggest gain and improvement this season.

Therefore, when he saw AC Milan hit the midfield with a counterattack, and was quickly stolen by Liverpool's double midfielder, when AC Milan launched a frontcourt counterattack, he realized the opportunity and immediately hit Crouch. a gesture.

The two worked together for a season. With a gesture from Yang Yang, combined with his eyes, Crouch immediately understood what to do and nodded silently.

Liverpool's backcourt players are really being pressed, and playing pass control has never been Liverpool's strength.

AC Milan is obviously in a hurry this time, and wants to try to force the frontcourt.

Xavi Alonso quickly returned to the goalkeeper.

After Reina stopped the ball outside the penalty area, he raised his head and glanced ahead.

He saw Crouch!
