Chapter 286 14. Battle with Milan
At this time, the game time was the 7th minute. Trapani only took 7 minutes to break through the door of Milan. This result was beyond everyone's expectations.
"Costacurta showed his old age at this moment. He was completely unable to stop Klose from scoring with a header! Did Ancelotti not think about such consequences before the game? He should know that Klose's ability is very good!" Di Marzio, a commentator of stream TV, commented on Costacurta unscrupulously in the live broadcast room.
Italian football believes in empiricism, especially the giants. They believe that the experience of old players can help the team. Costacurta should have retired a year ago, but he still hasn't retired until now. In this game, Ancelotti even let him play in the starting position.
Costacurta was not placed in the middle. In the last match against Trapani, facing the impact of Toni, Costacurta was useless. This time Ancelotti used the combination of Nesta and Maldini.
But Klose told Ancelotti that the price of ignoring me is very heavy!
Di Marzio is not a simple person. He is the first football person in Italy to disclose that Klose joined Trapani. New Sports even knew about it later than him. Even Hugo couldn't figure out how he got the news.
Di Marzio has been commentating on games for many years and is much more familiar with Klose than other colleagues.
"Klose's running ability is excellent and his header skills are outstanding. Milan should also pay attention to the right side. Trapani's attack is not limited to the left!" Di Marzio analyzed in the live broadcast room.
From the current point of view, Trapani took a feint attack on the left, but used Miku's long-distance pass to attack the right, allowing Klose to look for opportunities. Unexpectedly, the first experiment achieved the most perfect result.
Klose ran to the sidelines to celebrate with a flip, and Trapani's players surrounded him and hugged him. This is Trapani's first goal in Serie A history, which is extremely memorable.
Milan's players were hit by a club. They have not been able to control the rhythm since the beginning of the game. Instead, Trapani, who is weak, is more aggressive. Klose's goal made Milan's players unable to recover. This is Trapani's first shot. He scored? !
Ancelotti frowned on the sidelines. He was not calm at all. Hugo, who was much younger than him, taught him a lesson.
The fans on the court were also very happy. Could there be a better start than this? ! No! Everyone cheered for Klose!
"Look, we have scored first! You are relieved now! I said, Gigi is very smart, Trapani will not surrender easily!" Hugo's father Ricardo said to his wife with a smile.
"Milan's strength doesn't look good!" Lida gave such an evaluation. Ricardo didn't know what to say. He didn't know much about football. He only knew that there were many examples of the weak defeating the strong on the court.
Trapani's celebration lasted a little long. When they returned to the court, the experienced Milan players had calmed down and accepted the fact that Trapani was ahead of them. When the ball was restarted, Milan still planned to follow their own rhythm.
A strong team like Milan especially emphasizes rhythm, so that the rhythm of the game is under their control. Their playing style is more methodical, and the flash of the stars is enough to change the situation.
But Hugo's strategy today is to resolutely prevent Milan's control from being shown. What they rely on is running. Before the game, he asked everyone to run actively and put strong pressure on Milan's players in local areas to force them to pass the ball quickly.
The game was deadlocked. Milan could not control the situation all the time. Their midfield may not be stronger than Trapani's midfield. After this period of training, Trapani's midfield cooperation is also very tacit, especially Miku and Guardiola find the balance point of ball distribution. When the ball is at their feet, they have a tacit understanding of whether to attack forward or control the ball to slow down the rhythm. This is what surprised the Milan players.
Mascherano rarely went forward, and Hugo did not ask him to specifically target anyone, but the most important thing for him in this position was to take into account the Brazilian teenager Kaka. Kaka was older than Mascherano, but he was in the Serie A for the first time and was somewhat quiet in the game. He played for more than 20 minutes and had few highlights. Mascherano, on the other hand, had been immersed in Italian football for several years and had more ideas.
Ancelotti was already standing on the sidelines. He really didn't expect Trapani to cause them so much trouble. The two teams were evenly matched in ball possession, and Milan didn't take advantage of anything.
Of course, Milan was not without opportunities. In the 13th minute, Trapani failed to create an offside, and Inzaghi went to the meeting alone, but Trapani's goalkeeper Kameni was like a god, saving Inzaghi's single shot and keeping Trapani leading. Otherwise, it might be another scene.
Failure to create offside looks quite dangerous, but Hugo has no intention of changing the tactical arrangement. Generally speaking, there are two ideas for playing against strong teams. One is to park the bus and defend, and take advantage of the situation to counterattack. The other is to do the opposite, attack against attack, use attack to suppress the strong team, and give them a taste of their power.
It's just a failure, what's there to be afraid of? Keep doing it this way, and trust your central defender!
Kaká had no performance in the center, and Ancelotti began to consciously let Kaká go to the wing to make a fuss. The characteristic of Trapani is that the full-backs press very high, and they emphasize the pressure on the wing. , however, there may be gaps on the wing. Ancelotti hopes that Kaka can avoid the defense in the center and go to the weak wing.
After nearly half an hour, Trapani finally had to consider the issue of physical distribution and relaxed the pressure in the frontcourt. Milan finally took control of the rhythm and began to threaten Trapani's gate.
In the 32nd minute, Cafu's long shot missed!
In the 35th minute, Milan took a corner kick and Nesta headed the goal, but Kameni bravely resolved it!
In the 41st minute, Mascherano fouled 26 meters in front of the penalty area. Milan got a direct free kick. Shevchenko made another tricky shot, but Kameni still kept the ball away!
In the 43rd minute, Kaka shot in front of the goal, Victor fell to the ground, and the rescue was successful on the goal line!
It seems that Milan has got a lot of opportunities to threaten Trapani, but don't forget that Trapani is not a vegetarian.
Milan can punch Trapani, and Trapani can punch them back. Milan's offense is more structured, but as long as the ball reaches the forward's feet, Hugo's team has no rules or routines at all, especially On Ribery's side.
Ribery has many shortcomings, but there is one that Hugo is very good at taking advantage of, and that is his ability to dribble. Although he is slightly short in strength due to his short stature, he is particularly good at dribbling. The ball seems to stick to him under his feet. The same with his feet, he is worthy of being a player born on the street, and he is not afraid of Milan players at all. Cafu took the photo with no mistakes, Gattuso took the photo with no mistakes, and Nesta also took the photo with no mistakes!
He looks like someone who wouldn't dare live without him!
However, this guy is not mature enough and does not grasp the timing of passing the ball well. Many times, the road goes dark. Milan's defense mostly relies on defensive positioning to resolve the opponent's offense. Ribery tried to get closer to the penalty area several times but was defeated by Milan. Resolved easily.
Later, he also learned well. Damn it, if he wants to rely on the middle, he will compete with you for speed. He has an advantage in this regard, but the quality of this guy's passing is really unflattering. He was placed in the middle by Hugo. In the reverse foot position, the dominant foot is the right foot, and the left foot still has some distance to go!
But after all, there are always one or two kicks that can enter the penalty area. At this time, Milan's penalty area has the scene of two aerial bullies attacking at the same time. So what if Milan has Nesta, if Trapani always gets the chance to cross easily , Nesta Maldini cannot guarantee success in every confrontation.
In the 19th minute, Toni's header from Ribery's cross hit the crossbar hard, and it was Nesta who was pressed under Toni. Nesta is not invincible.
The real threat to Trapani is Micu. Micu's running skills are very good. When he came to Trapani, he was nearly 30 years old and his skills and intelligence increased, especially with the arrival of Guardiola. His pressure gives him more opportunities to reach the edge of the penalty area and pull from both sides.
I have to say that this is still the political legacy of Lombardo and Barrias!
Gattuso was not trying his best, but he still couldn't prevent Miku's pass. Miku passed the ball very quickly when he reached the frontcourt, which was very strange and did not stick to the ball at all. Gattuso in the 24th minute After suffering a loss from Micu, Micu had no intention of stopping the ball and passed the ball directly. Gattuso made a tackle and knocked down Micu. Collina showed him a yellow card.
In the 27th minute, Miku received a pass from Evra and made a wall-hitting match with Toni. He started a low shot from the front of the penalty area. Brazilian Dida made a restricted stretch to cut Miku's shot to the ground. The bottom line has been sealed.
Then there was another corner kick. Mr. Trapani was now at a high point. Victor and Tony worked together, and Victor almost killed his old master!
When Milan took the initiative, Franck Ribery was also thriving. In the 37th minute, Guardiola made a long pass and found the gap behind Cafu. Ribery completely relied on his speed advantage to successfully counter the offside. It was a single shot, but the guy took too long to adjust his foot, and he didn't adjust at all. The shot with his left foot was weak and was easily confiscated by Dida!
The story of the first half was very exciting. In the first half, it was definitely not what the outside world predicted. Trapani was pushed and kicked. In fact, Trapani was not bad either. Collina's midfield whistle blew, and the fans at the scene The fans in front of the TV still feel that they still have more to say. The time of such a game flies very fast!
