Chapter 43: Butcher Version of Kaka

When sitting on the bus and looking at the San Siro Stadium, Li Ang's mind did not actually flash through the football superstars who had played and shone in this stadium.

His reaction was very simple, just like when he first saw the Bernabeu Stadium, and also when he first visited the San Siro Stadium after arriving in Milan.

"It really deserves to be a 'big' club!"

The Bernabeu and San Siro are both the leading large football stadiums in Europe, and the capacity of the two stadiums is almost the same, both just over 80,000.

The thought of being able to play and fight under the attention of nearly 80,000 fans, any player will inevitably feel excited.

Li Ang is no exception.

If he were to say what he would remember most in the Real Madrid first team, he would definitely choose the days when he played at home.

"They will cheer for you today."

Just as Li Ang was staring at the countless Milan fans in red and black jerseys outside the car window, a voice sounded behind him.

Li Ang turned his head and saw that it was the acting captain Gattuso who was comforting him. Pirlo, who was sitting next to Gattuso, also winked at him.

"As long as you play normally, it's fine, right?"

Li Ang looked at the Rossoneri fans outside the window who were crowded together, holding their scarves high towards the Milan bus and singing the team song over and over again, and grinned.

"No problem!"

"Pay attention to the insertion of the two full-backs of Udinese, this must be paid attention to! Their midfield is actually not very creative. We curbed their two wing attacks. Without the shells sent forward by Isla and Pasquale, Di Natale can only rely more on Sanchez to help him attract defensive firepower, so as to get the chance to receive the ball and the space to kick. Li Ang, keep an eye on Sanchez and cut off the connection between him and Di Natale. Do you understand what I mean?!"

Allegri made the final tactical emphasis in the locker room before the game, and Li Ang, who was named, nodded without hesitation and took over his tactical task.

At present, he is the only one who can do this job. Gattuso and Pirlo, who can't keep up with Sanchez, can only help him to make up for the gaps and assist in defense.

Whether he can withstand the offensive impact of Udinese depends on how well he freezes Sanchez and Pasquale.

"I will help you more, don't worry."

Antonini smiled and patted Leon's thigh to cheer him up.

Bonera, who was sitting on the other side of Leon, also came over, "It's okay, it's okay to let them come over occasionally, Thiago and I will deal with them!"

As soon as the striker said this, Leon's heart tightened immediately, and Gattuso changed his face and hurriedly changed the subject.

Just kidding!

It's better for the striker not to have a camera on the court. When the striker has "played", it will be difficult for Milan to win this game.

After the episode, Milan's starting players surrounded Gattuso and made the last pre-war mobilization, and then shouted a few words one after another and walked out of the locker room.

Amid the cheers and shouts of more than 70,000 Milan fans, Li Ang took a deep breath and then plunged into the stadium covered by the winter afternoon sun.

"Le——on——!!!"

"leon——!!!"

Under the guidance of the DJ, the cheers of the Milan fans at the scene surprised Li Ang himself.

After calming down the excitement in his chest, Li Ang smiled and raised his hands to applaud to express his gratitude to the home fans.

Li Ang's smiling face suddenly appeared in the live broadcast, and the handsome face under the winter sun was even more sunny and handsome.

There was an uproar in the stadium again.

After all, Kaka has only left San Siro for a year and a half, and now there is a sunny and handsome boy with medium-length hair. How can these Milan fans not think of the young Kaka who just came to Milan?

What makes Milan fans more palpitating than the similarity in appearance is the similarity in demeanor.

Such sunshine, confidence, cheerfulness and generosity have not been seen in San Siro for a long time.

With the filter on, Milan fans really can't help but have a good impression of Li Ang.

Some extreme fans turned to support Li Ang because of the current situation that Li Ang can coexist with Pirlo, not to mention other ordinary Milan fans.

After a simple opening ceremony, the players on both sides took their positions one after another, and the captains of the two teams routinely chose sides.

The commentators of various countries seized the gap before the start of the game to quickly introduce the starting lineups of the two teams today.

Udinese played as a guest at San Siro today and directly played a 3-5-2 formation.

While relying on the midfield and backcourt defense, their two forwards Sanchez and Di Natale are also very threatening and are very suitable for counter-attack tactics.

Milan continued to play a 4-4-2 midfield diamond formation.

In this round of the league, Milan adjusted the starting personnel in the front, midfield and backcourt.

In the defense, Zambrotta was rested, Abate was the starting right back, and in the midfield, Boateng replaced Seedorf, who had some calf discomfort, as the starting attacking midfielder.

And the forward line was the normal rotation of Robinho and Pato.

Usually when Milan played with two strikers, only Ibrahimovic was required to play, and Pato and Robinho took turns to start depending on their game status and physical health.

However, if they played with three strikers in the future, the two of them could start together, after all, Ronaldinho, who could compete with them before, has now returned to Brazil.

Milan's starting lineup in the rest of the positions is exactly the same as in the last round.

Nesta's injury has not healed, Thiago Silva and Bonera continue to start as double central defenders.

Originally, this position may be the most worrying for Milan fans.

But with Li Ang running more than 12 kilometers in a single game in the last round and contributing key defensive data many times, the Rossoneri are temporarily relieved.

As long as the "striker" does not frequently face the opponent's offensive impact, relying on Thiago Silva's super personal ability, Milan's current defense line can still be stabilized.

At 15:00 in the afternoon, the game officially started. Udinese, who won the kick-off right, quickly spread out the formation in the midfield. At the beginning, the right wingback Isla held the ball and pushed forward to make an offensive test.

In addition to Isla, there are Asamoah and Sanchez on this side, so it is also the current Udinese attack that focuses on the wing.

Isla dribbled the ball across the half court, and seeing Antonini pressing him, he passed the ball directly to Asamoah who raised his hand on the inside.

Antonini turned around and pressed Asamoah with Boateng.

But before the two of them closed in, Asamoah simply passed the ball to Sanchez who was advancing on the left side of Milan!

"Chilean Ronaldo" is only 22 years old now, with good skills, fast speed and confidence.

Even though there was Li Ang lagging behind and Pirlo leaning over to make up for the defense at any time in the left half of Milan, he was not afraid at all.

After speeding up, Sanchez predicted the landing point of the football and rushed at full speed.

But it was difficult to observe the diagonal back of his side, and Li Ang also ran towards the landing point of the football at a speed that could barely keep up with him.

"Mine!"

At the moment of almost perfect unloading, Sanchez was overjoyed. Looking at Li Ang who pounced on him, he pouted his lips, stopped and dribbled, and was about to change direction to throw Li Ang away.

But he didn't expect that Li Ang stopped his forward momentum just when he was about to pounce on the ball, and at the same time turned his body and decisively blocked his inward route!

Just right, no mistake!

"Beautiful defensive prediction!!!"

The commentator of Sky Sports Italy was excited.

Li Ang also decisively stepped sideways after blocking Sanchez's change of direction, and squeezed Sanchez, who was much shorter than him, to the side!

The football still rolled to the 30-meter area of ​​Milan. Asamoah, who reacted one step faster, rushed forward and wanted to get the ball away before Pirlo intercepted it.

But Li Ang did not stop his defensive pace after squeezing Sanchez away.

Asamoah wanted to take the ball away?

He hadn't asked for his opinion yet!

He suddenly stepped forward with force, and when he was a little behind Asamoah in speed, Li Ang chose to put the shovel in advance from the wing!

The football was first touched by Li Ang and deviated from its trajectory, and then Asamoah was also knocked down by Li Ang's calf.

The referee on duty, who was closer and could see more clearly, ignored Asamoah who suddenly screamed and fell to the ground, and signaled the game to continue!

Li Ang, who had just completed a successful tackle, had some grass on his face, and immediately got up from the ground with his hands and feet, and began to resolutely counter-attack as Pirlo passed the ball forward!

The "beautiful" filter of Milan fans for Li Ang was ruthlessly shattered again.

But they were not annoyed at all, but roared passionately, roaring and cheering for Li Ang's successful continuous and wonderful defense!

They cheered for Milan to welcome another "young Kaka".

Well, this time it's the butcher version!

Damn, I forgot to set the timer again
