Chapter 97: The Surprising First Half

Chapter 97: The Surprising First Half

Fiori made a world-class save, which made Carlo Ancelotti in the stands heave a sigh of relief. In his opinion, the ball was able to block just now because of luck.

luck!

Ancelotti raised his shoulders and looked at the situation on the field. It seemed that AC Milan's luck in this game was really good.

Bayern Munich's corner kick was directly intercepted by Fiore and held in his arms. Bayern's first attack after the opening ended here.

In the next game, the initiative is still in the hands of Bayern Munich, while AC Milan retreats across the board. It can be seen that they intend to hold a tie and then eliminate Bayern with more away goals. ?? Stadium Maniac 97

In the eighth minute of the game, Bayern Munich, which had always been dominant, suddenly had a short-circuit situation. Demichelis made a mistake in passing the ball from the backcourt. Serginho intercepted the ball from the left rib. AC Milan immediately pressed forward and launched a counterattack , Serginho sprinted for more than ten meters with the ball, and hit the back post with his left foot. Degan and Inzaghi reached at the same time, and Kahn also rushed towards the back post.

Serginho passed the ball a little forward. If Degan wanted to hit the top, it seemed a bit reluctant, and Kahn had already blocked the angle of the shot. At this moment, Degan quickly made a move. Out of choice, he didn't directly choose to "shoot" the goal, but lightly hit the ball. The football bypassed Kahn's fingers and returned to the middle. The corner is successful, AC Milan leads 1:0!

Inzaghi scored goals in four consecutive games against Bayern Munich. He is worthy of the name "Bayern Killer". In the confrontation between the two teams in 2002, Inzaghi scored three goals in two games for Bayern. Once was no exception, scoring in two consecutive games.

After the goal, Inzaghi seemed very excited, and rushed towards Degan, knocking him to the ground, and then other Milan players rushed over and joined the celebration.

The Milan fans at the scene didn't expect happiness to come so quickly. Just now AC Milan was besieged by Bayern Munich. Who knew that the situation on the field changed suddenly. AC Milan's steal counterattack actually broke through Bayern's goal .

Magath in the stands was also stunned. He never expected that his team was actually behind. Now, if they want to eliminate AC Milan, they must score at least two goals.

If he could only sit in the stands because of the suspension, he would have rushed to the sidelines and yelled at the players on the field, but look at the two UEFA staff around him, He could only sigh helplessly, hoping that the players could adjust themselves.

Conceding a goal first obviously caught the Bayern Munich players by surprise, and the initiative on the field was actually taken by AC Milan.

In the thirteenth minute, Kaka made a breakthrough and was tripped by Lucio. Digan took a free kick from the left, and Demichelis headed the ball in front of the goal again. Kahn was shocked and retreated again and again. Even if his reaction was not bad, he jumped up and confiscated the ball.

Although the goal was missed, Degan also felt that this game was not as difficult as he imagined!

After that, AC Milan, which had the upper hand, continued to attack. In the 15th minute, Pirlo's left corner kick went directly to the outside of the back point. Rui Costa volleyed the ball and shot it over the crossbar.

In the 23rd minute, AC Milan threw a kick from the right side of the penalty area. Inzaghi turned around on the right side of the penalty area and was pulled down by Lucio. A penalty kick!

The referee directly awarded a penalty kick and gave Lucio a yellow card!

At this moment, the Milan players on the field were a little stunned. The originally planned battle, a hard fight, so far, seems to be a bit surprising with ease.

Pirlo stepped forward and took the penalty, but his right foot shot slipped out of the left post, and AC Milan missed the opportunity to expand the score.

But Degan didn't feel much annoyed, the game seemed to be under the control of AC Milan.

Pirlo missed the penalty, but then he made up for his mistake. In the 25th minute, Simic made a cross from the right, Lucio headed the ball out of the penalty area, and Pirlo quickly moved to the ball Before he swung his legs and was about to shoot, Lucio and Demichelis stepped forward to block at the same time, but they didn't wait for Pirlo's shot. Seeing someone blocking, Pirlo prepared to shoot The goal action changed immediately, changed to a through ball, Digan quickly started, got rid of Lizarazu who was defending, and pushed and shot, Kahn was caught off guard and could only watch the football Rolled into the far corner, 2:0!

What people predicted before the game has now become a big joke. It is generally believed that in San Siro, AC Milan will usher in their most difficult game of the season. It is not surprising that there is such a key, after all AC Milan Milan's lineup is not complete, and the club has gradually lost patience with Ancelotti. Now AC Milan should be in a state of turmoil.

In particular, the team's third goalkeeper, Fiori, was standing in front of the goal! As long as Fiore makes a mistake during the game, AC Milan will be over immediately. ?? Stadium Maniac 97

But in fact, the game is not only not difficult, but even AC Milan is very easy.

Fiore sent a world-class save at the beginning of the game, blocking Ballack's long-range shot and Pizarro's supplementary shot consecutively. What happened next?

AC Milan actually scored two goals in a row, and also missed a penalty kick to expand the score.

If it wasn't for Pirlo's pursuit of angles too much, perhaps the suspense would have been lost at this point in the game.

What the hell is going on here?

Not only the onlookers, but even the fans of Milan were astonished. Obviously, the development of the game has exceeded their acceptance.

Before the start of the game, even the most die-hard Milan fans were pessimistic about the team's prospects. In their view, if AC Milan could show the courage to fight in San Siro, they should be content, but now the Both teams have taken a two-goal lead.

Those reporters even directly deleted the manuscripts that had been written in the computer. They generally looked down on AC Milan, but they were severely slapped twice in the face by AC Milan.

What does it mean that mourners must win!

Look at AC Milan, there is no better explanation than this!

After losing two goals in a row, the Bayern Munich players suddenly woke up and realized that the situation was already very unfavorable to them, but now the game has only been going on for more than 20 minutes.

Fight back!

Must fight back!

In the 30th minute, Bayern Munich's free kick was blocked, but the football did not fly far. After Schweinsteiger got the ball, he gave it to Deisler. Deisler moved forward along the right. Sergi Neo obviously has no way to pose a threat to Deisler in terms of speed. Deisler easily completed the cross. Ma Kai then outflanked the shot, but it was a pity that he was offside first.

In the 34th minute, Schweinsteiger made a breakthrough and passed the ball. Ballack cut in from the left. It was still Kaladze's problem. When marking Ballack, he was obviously absent-minded. Ballack volleyed with his right foot directly 25 meters in front of the goal, and the football went slightly wide of the near post.

In the 35th minute, Bayern Munich's mad attack finally paid off. Gattuso fouled Sagnol and was warned by a yellow card. Schweinsteiger took a free kick 25 meters in front of the goal. Passing through the gap in the middle, he flew directly to the goal. Fiore was caught off guard and could only block the ball with his legs. Pizarro, who followed on the left, was 7 meters in front of the goal, and scored with his right foot from a close corner. , Bayern drew 1:2.

But scoring a goal, the situation is still very unfavorable to Bayern Munich, even if they can score another goal, AC Milan can still qualify smoothly with more away goals.

After losing the ball, Ancelotti in the stands became nervous again, and gestured repeatedly to Tassotti, who had been looking in his direction. Although he was sitting in the ball monitor, he could not enter the coach's bench or bring communication tools. , but it does not prevent him from making small movements.

Tassotti got Ancelotti's instructions and immediately ordered the team to shrink their defense!

Damn!

When Degan saw Tassotti's signal, he almost exploded with anger. The conceded goal just now was actually an accident, and the advantage was still on AC Milan's side. At this time, instead of strengthening the offensive, they took the opportunity to score another goal to seal the victory. In the round, he actually wanted to shrink his defense. Degan really didn't know which No. 1 Koto Yoneta was hiding in Ancelotti's mind.

It was the same in the last game against Palermo. After taking the lead, Ancelotti made personnel adjustments during the intermission. As a result, his substitutions almost tilted the balance of victory. ?? Stadium Maniac 97

Ancelotti actually used Vogel to replace Seedorf, who performed well. If it weren't for Inzaghi's goal that shattered Palermo's hope of tying, this substitution would have almost become a key turning point in the game.

After Seedorf left the field, Milan lost a person to help get the ball in the frontcourt. Kaka was even more difficult to support, and the pressure on the opponent was reduced, which happened to be convenient for Palermo to fight back.

The Palermo coach simply replaced Gonzalez and continued to strengthen the attack on the wing. The left guarded by Milan veteran Serginho became the main target of the opponent. Because the attacking power of the striker Gattuso on the same side of the left is relatively low, in addition to defending, the old Serginho has to actively "plug" in the attack as an offensive point on the left, which makes him very reluctant and strenuous , Neither the offense nor the defense did a good job.

If it wasn't for Fiori's outstanding performance, I'm afraid it would not be easy for Milan to keep their home victory in the last game.

The Palermo coach's substitution was very targeted. In contrast, Ancelotti replaced Seedorf after taking the lead, which seemed a bit conservative.

Although the lineup is old, the lack of employment is the main problem for Milan at present. However, Ancelotti's formation of troops cannot completely escape responsibility, and some places are still debatable.

AC Milan's poor performance this season has made Ancelotti also face a huge crisis of confidence. The heavy pressure affected his employment decision to a certain extent, and he also seemed to lack trust in some players, such as Simic, Stam, and of course Degan, who had a personal grievance with him.

After the first half, AC Milan deliberately shrank the defense, giving Bayern Munich more space to attack. Although there are more defensive players in front of the penalty area, Bayern Munich has never been the kind to pass the ball step by step into the penalty area. Then go to the team that solves the problem, what they are better at is vigorous long-range shooting.

For a while, Fiore became the busiest person on the field, constantly slamming left and right. If this continues, maybe he can find the feeling of the world's number one goalkeeper.

And it was just passive defense, which exhausted the Milan players' physical strength. Before the first half was over, Serginho was already sweating and panting from exhaustion.

Degan wants to attack, but he can't support himself in the frontcourt. Without his teammates to support him, he is really Maradona's possession, and he can't single out the opponent's entire defense every time.

Turning his head and taking a look, he saw that Ancelotti was still putting on a dead face to put on a show, and Degan couldn't get angry at all. Demichelis on the opponent's defense line was obviously a big hole, but he didn't know To be sure, instead of shrinking the defense, the defense is nothing more than defending but not attacking. It is no different from waiting for death. The current AC Milan is like this. They give up all the midfield and frontcourt, and cultivate their ability to resist and fight in front of the penalty area.

In the 43rd minute, Bayern Munich's indiscriminate bombing almost equalized the score. Deisler took a free kick from the left and Ballack headed the goal. Fortunately, Fiori reacted very quickly and blocked the ball with a single palm. I have to say that Fiore did play a world-class game in this game.

In stoppage time in the first half, Bayern Munich had another great opportunity. Deisler took a corner kick from the right. After Pizarro bounced his header 10 meters in front of the goal, he missed the right post.

AC Milan managed to maintain a 2:1 advantage until halftime, but just looking at the Milan players, such a simple defense consumes a lot of energy. Bayern Munich can use passing instead of running. Can only keep exhausted.

Therefore, despite leading the score, Degan's face was still very gloomy when he left the field. This is not his favorite game, and he can't appreciate the joy of football at all.

If he had a mobile phone in his hand at this time, the first thing he would do was to call Mendes and tell him: "I've had enough, no matter what team it is, even if it's the Maldives, the Faroe Islands." , as long as I can play football to my heart's content, I will go there now, immediately, immediately! Fuck the liquidated damages, I will pay for it myself!"

Kaka, who was following Digan, saw that something was wrong with Digan, and asked in a low voice, "Rod! What are you doing~~~~~~"

Digan looked back at Kaka, holding back his anger: "Ricciardo! Don't you feel aggrieved playing under such a shitty coach? Anyway, I can't take it anymore!"
