35 Leonwell-style defense

35 Leonwell-style defense

"Kaka took the ball forward, he didn't continue to fight Leon, he distributed the ball to the left, Seedorf got the ball on the left, the Dutchman avoided Zanetti's flying tackle and continued forward. , Shevchenko was running forward, Seedorf stepped forward, ok, beautiful, Shevchenko received the ball..."

At the beginning of the second half, Sheva shot furiously on the line of Inter Milan's big penalty area. Unfortunately, Cesar blocked the ball out of the bottom line.

But this time AC Milan's attack has started to ring the bell for Inter Milan, that is, no matter how strong your Leon is, all he can take care of is the defensive area. Now let's bypass him and see what you do.

Ancelotti is worthy of being a tactical master. At this time, on the bench of AC Milan, the fox, Philip Inzaghi, has already started to warm up.

I believe that if AC Milan can't start the situation again, Ancelotti will definitely choose to replace Philip Inzaghi.

Corner kick, AC Milan's corner kick opportunity, Pirlo took the penalty, and was cleared by Inter Milan's central defender Samuel with a header.

Two minutes later, AC Milan, who got the ball back in the midfield, continued to attack. It started from Kaka. Pirlo handed the ball to Kaka. Kaka took a few strides forward and came to Leon. However, just like before, Kaka still did not move forward, he transferred the ball to the right, this time, it was Pirlo who came in from behind to respond.

The man marking him is the veteran Zanetti. Pirlo waited and watched after taking the ball. After handing the ball to Shevchenko who came back to catch the ball, Pirlo also moved to the middle. He wanted to attract Leon and Cambiasso defensive attention.

Shevchenko took the ball with his back, and Samuel was marking him. Rock did not dare to neglect, and took care of Shevchenko carefully.

And Sheva is also worthy of being a top center forward. After he made a gesture and turned around, he knocked the ball back to Pirlo, and Pirlo who took the ball knew it and immediately sent it forward.

It was a two-for-one, Shevchenko leaped over Samuel and dribbled forward, Cannavaro moved towards him to defend him.

Shevchenko unhurriedly knocked the ball to the left, Seedorf had already plugged in, and Cambiasso went up to form a zone defense with Maicon.

The experienced Seedorf saw that there were a lot of people in front of him, and he also handed the ball to Kaka who came from the center to meet him. After Kaka took the ball, Leon also moved from Inter Milan's right defense zone to the left. Kaka was steady. After a while, he shook his head and passed the ball to Pirlo in the middle.

Leon, it's not that I don't want to compete with you, it's just that I want to win this game.

If it was Kaka one or two seasons ago, he probably would have buried his head long ago, but now Kaka will not be there, he will become more mature and stronger.

In Ancelotti's eyes, Kaka has an advantage that Leon does not have, that is, Kaka's frontcourt restraint. Although Leonwell also has such restraint, in today's football, he can be like Kaka. Apart from Ronaldinho, Kaka is the only player involved in the opponent's defense.

And Ancelotti asserted that after two or three years, Kaka's achievements will definitely surpass his senior brother.

On the court, Pirlo took the ball, and under the escort of Gattuso and Ambrosini, Pirlo pressed forward steadily.

He chose to hit the ball to Shevchenko, with the nuclear warhead leaning against Samuel, but when the ball was about to reach his feet, Shevchenko suddenly missed it!

His omission also caused the soles of Samuel's feet to twitch. Samuel did not expect that Sheva would omit such an omission, so he lost his center of gravity and could only watch the ball slide past him!

Kaka! At the moment when Sheva missed the ball, Kaka suddenly started from the left. He received the ball and broke into the penalty area in an instant!

Cannavaro had to give up everything around him and move towards Kaka to defend.

A calm shot!

Bang--! Fortunately, luck was on Inter Milan's side today, and Kaka's extremely tricky shot hit the crossbar of Inter Milan!

"Huh——! AC Milan missed a good opportunity to equalize the score, but it seems that they have found the feeling of attacking. If Inter Milan does not respond, I think AC Milan will quickly equalize the score." Roberto Baggio It is also a pity for Kaka's shot this time.

Lionwell, Kaka... These young people are really talented, Baggio thought in his heart.

On the sidelines, Mancini did not expect that AC Milan's offense would be so sharp in the second half. He scratched his head and looked at the players on the field with worried eyes.

AC Milan used the width of the court to distract Leon, and then specifically attacked the weak points of Inter Milan's defense. There is no truly invincible team in this world, and Inter Milan is no exception.

Even though they have the most expensive player Lionwell, there is only one Lionwell.

The strength of Inter Milan's four-three-three formation lies in their counterattack power, but now, AC Milan can make them a little breathless.

A change had to be made and Mancini called on Stankovic.

In the seventh minute of the second half, Tony was replaced, Stankovic came on, and Inter Milan changed to 442.

And Ancelotti also decisively changed after one minute. Inzaghi came on and Ambrosini came off. If you want to strengthen the midfield, then I will strengthen the frontcourt.

So far this season, this is the first time Mancini has been so passive.

Whether it's the tim triangle match, or with Chelsea and Liverpool, Mancini has always been playing the conspiracy, but now, he has met the master of the conspiracy Ancelotti.

You're still a little too young, Robert. Ancelotti looked at the anxious Mancini with confidence and thought.

On the field, after replacing Stankovic, the pressure on Inter Milan has not decreased. Their tactic is to defend and counterattack. Of course, only based on defense can they attack effectively.

It's just that AC Milan doesn't seem to be ready to give them such an opportunity.

In the 13th minute of the second half, the attacking method was the same as before. After scheduling back and forth from left to right, Pirlo went straight to Shevchenko. After Shevchenko stopped the ball, he directly slid the ball to Kaka's feet. After looking up for a while, he knocked across the middle. Fortunately, Cannavaro cleared the ball before Inzaghi swung his thigh. Otherwise, with Inzaghi's ability to seize the opportunity, it would be impossible not to equalize the ball.

Passive, too passive.

"Dejan, you come back to take my position, Samuel, Cannavaro, you should advance a little bit." Taking advantage of a dead ball opportunity, Leon gathered his teammates together.

"Leon, are you going to play as a striker?" Figo teased, but soon, he found that Leon was standing in a more surprising position than a striker.

Dragging the central defender - the scavenger!

"Leon, you are..." Cannavaro looked at Leon with some hesitation.

"Don't worry, I won't hold you back. We have now changed the formation to 5-3-2. When attacking, it is still 4-4-2. I just stand here when defending. Don't worry about me, I promise I can go up and do it." Come back." In fact, Cannavaro is not worried about Leon's physical fitness, but Leon has never played as a central defender before!

"I stand here to be able to see AC Milan's last move clearly. You go up boldly. Now we, you and me, Samuel, Camby and Dejan are a pentagon. If any side is missing, we can make it in time." Make it up. AC Milan wants to use the constant back-and-forth scheduling to divide my role, but I won't let them get what they want." Leon looked at his teammates and said confidently.

Under Leon's confident eyes, Cannavaro nodded.

Then, amidst the astonishment of AC Milan players, fans, the audience in front of the TV, and the coaches of the two teams, Leon stood in a very retro position.

With the development of modern football, it has been gradually eliminated-scavenger.

However, people soon discovered that with Leon standing at the back of Inter Milan's defense, AC Milan's sharp attack just now suddenly failed... Standing here, I can see your intentions clearly, Pierre Luo is a talented midfield commander, Kaka is a sharp breakthrough player, Seedorf is an all-around fighter, Inzaghi and Shevchenko are top strikers... Yes, this is the best position, here I can see all your intentions.

In the 17th minute of the second half, when Inzaghi turned around to catch Shevchenko's through pass, Leon suddenly appeared in front of him and destroyed the ball.

In the 19th minute of the second half, Shevchenko, who was turning around with the ball, was directly intercepted by Leon. In the 23rd minute, Kaka, who was about to take the ball outside the penalty area, was directly intercepted by Leon with a sliding tackle... Three consecutive defenses! Leon has already seen AC Milan's offensive line clearly, and you can dispatch it left and right. I just need to make up the last one.

Leon will not know that his defensive style will attract the attention of the entire Italian football experts after this Milan derby!

The position of sweeper was eliminated by the development of modern football, but history will prove that Lionwell will re-create a brand new defensive method.

Of course, this defense is indispensable.

As AC Milan's offense began to fail, the two forwards of Inter Milan, Tevez and Adriano, who had been lonely in the frontcourt for a long time, began to find opportunities.

When attacking, Leon will decisively insert from the backcourt.

At this point, Mancini on the sidelines can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Leonwell kept the tempo steady for Inter Milan until the whistle blew. After 90 minutes, Inter Milan defeated AC Milan 1-0. Before the decisive battle, they also revived their morale.

After the game, Kaka exchanged jerseys with Leon as usual, but this time, Kaka didn't talk to Leondo anymore, because Kaka knew that the guy in front of him had become stronger and wanted to To defeat him, he must be even stronger.

Other than that, there is no other way.

"To be honest, Leon, you almost scared me to death when you said you were going to play central defender, but if you continue to play like this, I guess Samuel and I have to pack up and leave sooner or later." After the game, Cannavaro also joked with a smile.

"How is it possible? Without your marking, how dare I make up so boldly. In short, this is a victory for all of us." Leon didn't mean to take the credit for himself. After the game ended, Mancini also praised performance of the players.

"Guys, there is only one last game left in our devil's schedule! We must not repeat the mistakes of last year!"

Chelsea! The final Meazza showdown!

Both teams will fight for qualifying. Liverpool, Betis, Chelsea, Inter Milan, who can get the last two tickets to the round of 16?

Soon the answer will be revealed.

The victory in the Milan Derby allowed Inter Milan to regain the support of public opinion. The fans and the media are the same, that is, when you play well, you are a hero.

And on the second day after the Milan Derby, Chelsea, who had ended their Premier League journey, also came to Milan.

Last year, they eliminated the invincible Inter Milan who had just introduced Leon here, and now, this season, it is Leonwell and Jose Mourinho again... It seems that the story of this pair of brothers is still going on. Gotta go on.
