Chapter 51: Overthrowing Lazio [Please Vote and Read On! ]

After all, Li Ang failed to score his second career goal in the game against Catania.

But his powerful rush to the top successfully disrupted Catania's defense deployment.

In the words of the commentator of Sky Sports' live game, this is:

"The two battering rams of Li Ang and Boateng successfully stunned Catania's defenders!"

Allegri's offensive routine is actually very simple and crude.

In the first half, Li Ang and Boateng took turns to attack Catania's defense, after severely consuming the physical energy of the opponent's defensive players.

In the second half, let the two forwards who are full of energy and physical fitness lead the offense.

To put it bluntly, it is just a wheel battle, but the effect is indeed quite good.

Because Li Ang and Boateng can really run, they defeated Catania's defensive players very well.

And Ibrahimovic and Pato's personal abilities are indeed very strong. If they seize the opportunity, they can score goals. Catania is really unable to guard against them.

Seeing Li Ang still running around in the midfield in the second half, fans of other Serie A teams watching the game were really envious.

"Milan is so lucky. They can rent a midfielder like this with a salary of over 200,000 yuan for half a season."

"That's because Milan and Real Madrid have a good relationship. Otherwise, can we rent the little lion at a bargain price?"

"Why didn't we give it a try first? Damn, we thought that Real Madrid would not let Li Ang go out on loan easily. Our team might not even have contacted him!"

"Don't think about it. This kind of loan from the youth training of such a wealthy club also gives priority to teams with good strength. What kind of strong team is Juventus now? Let's go back to the European theater first."

"??? Are you, Rome, really strong? You are only five points ahead of us. Why are you pretending!"

"One more point means I'm ranked higher than you. If you don't accept it, I'll fight again next time we meet!"

"Just fight, we are afraid of you!"

Amidst the gradually distorted discussions, Li Ang's current improvement in both offense and defense for Milan has also been recognized by countless Serie A fans.

And watching Milan secure another 2-0 victory without sealing an opponent.

These fans also lamented and turned off the TV set.

Five consecutive wins!

Since Li Ang joined AC Milan on loan, Milan, which just lost to Roma, has won five consecutive victories and is already at the top of the list!

However, just as Milan fans were celebrating wildly, some media who were against the idea jumped out again at an inappropriate time.

"Lazio will become a stumbling block for Milan's progress!" 》

"In the first four key games, Lazio will definitely attack with all its strength! 》

"Blue Eagle's determination, Milan needs to be vigilant!" 》

One after another similar reports suddenly appeared before the battle between Milan and Lazio.

Serie A fans from all walks of life who were unhappy with Milan's recent strong record also echoed the negative sentiment.

Judging from the trend of public opinion, it seems that Lazio has already exploded and is sure to win.

Whether Lazio and their fans want it or not.

Lazio has been pushed into the limelight of sniping Milan.

With the attention of almost all Italian sports media, on the evening of February 2, Milan finally ushered in the focus of the league match with Lazio at San Siro.

The atmosphere of the battle was very strong, and the expectations of fans from all sides were also raised very high by the media.

But in fact, Milan and Lazio, who only had two days of rest after the last round of the league, had no intention of playing against each other.

When the game started, Milan stayed in their own half and Lazio also stayed in their own half. The players on both sides looked at each other with big eyes and small eyes.

Allegri and Lazio coach Edreja both cursed each other.

The only difference is that there is an old fox who scolds and a young fox who scolds.

Both sides were waiting for a counterattack from the other side, but they were both very cautious, unwilling to press out easily and risk giving up space.

So a dull defensive battle that tortured countless fans began at San Siro.

Milan fans booed Lazio, mocking them for not having the courage to attack. Lazio fans also booed Milan, mocking Milan for having a bus at home.

But their boos did not affect the players of the two teams on the field at all.

After all, the starting players on both sides have only played one game in the past two days, and their physical fitness has not yet recovered. It would be good to be able to hold on and not concede the ball.

How can there be any spare power to press forward and play a duel?

It's just that in comparison, Milan has more combative players on the bench, especially in the midfield.

Van Bommel, Seedorf, who has recovered from injury, Flamini.

There are three midfielders on the Milan bench, covering all positions in the front, middle and back of the midfield.

If Allegri wants to change his tactics, he will have more cards.

In addition, compared with Lazio, Milan is more advantageous in terms of forward personal ability.

The advantages of the midfield and backfield are not reflected at all.

Lazio squeezed its 30-meter area tightly. Whether you attack or not, there are so many people behind it, and they won't easily press out to get into a position and play with you for a few rounds.

This makes Allegri somewhat regretful that "the hero has no place to play".

Glancing at the old coach Edreja who was sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, Allegri snorted, and then took the lead in making tactical adjustments in the 30th minute of the first half.

After a while of simple hand gestures, my Uncle Jon sat back on the bench with satisfaction.

Now it was Edreja's turn to stand on the sidelines and observe.

Three minutes later, Pato, who was advancing with the ball in the middle of Lazio, bravely pushed into the dense defense area.

Lazio midfielder Hernanes just got up to fight, and Pato fell to the ground smoothly!

Before Hernanes could react to what happened, the referee standing nearby blew the whistle.

"Go up, all of you! Leon, Thiago, and Kevin!"

Allegri was excited and rushed to the sidelines and shouted at the top of his voice.

On the Milan side, Nesta, Thiago Silva, Leon, Boateng, Ibrahimovic

One after another tall players or header masters squeezed into the narrow area in front of Lazio's penalty area.

Edreja slapped his thigh, feeling that Allegri didn't really want to shake hands with him, he came here for this!

Playing set pieces and header bombing, is there any hope for Milan?

This may not have much effect against Inter Milan and Naples in the top four, but it is another story against Lazio.

Lazio's central defender Biava was a little uneasy at this moment.

He was barely 1.8 meters tall. Although he was good at ground defense, he was really unsure about the header competition when he looked at Boateng who was pressing on his side.

But he had to go up first to see if it would work.

Biava entangled Boateng, pulling his jersey and arms.

As a result, when Pirlo took the free kick on the left side of the front court, he found that his opponent had changed!

Boateng stood there and basically did not move. Suddenly, it became Li Ang who squeezed into the penalty area with Biava!

"My!"

Glancing at the slightly hasty Biava, Li Ang pressed the 33-year-old veteran central defender under him without respecting the old and loving the young.

With a muffled roar, Li Ang shook his head fiercely at the back point to meet the ball. He fell on the grass without even having time to see the flight trajectory of the football.

There was chaos in Lazio's penalty area, but their goalkeeper Muslera did not lose his composure.

The Uruguayan goalkeeper used his extraordinary reaction to block Li Ang's header with one arm.

But then, Ibrahimovic, who followed up from the middle, subconsciously stretched out his foot to block the supplementary shot, and he could not save it!

The football hit the net without any suspense, and the Milan fans at the San Siro cheered wildly at this moment!

The Lazio fans were silent.

They never expected that Milan's first free kick in the first half would successfully break the balance on the field!

At this moment, countless third-party fans also looked at Li Ang, who was excitedly pulled up and hugged by his teammates.

This kid knocked Lazio over with one head!
