56 Attack and Defense
The explosion of the Ukrainian nuclear warhead caused a beautiful, gorgeous mushroom cloud full of death to rise in the entire Meazza/San Siro!
AC Milan took the lead.
The game continued, and the lagging side, Inter Milan, started a counterattack. AC Milan seemed to be prepared. Gattuso's task in the midfield today was to contain Leon. The midfield butcher spared no effort to use his powerful running ability to limit Controlling Lionwell's running range.
Gattuso, who is quite a man in charge, is more and more courageous in the midfield. With Gattuso's good restraint, AC Milan's defense stands firmly.
Ancelotti can relax a bit and have a sip of tea before returning to command.
...
"Little fat man, come back and get the ball, don't stay in the frontcourt, I can't get in right now, you come back and get the ball to share my pressure." Just seeing the tricks and seeing AC Milan's pairing tactics, Leon also called Tevez back.
Tevez nodded.
In the next few minutes, Inter Milan's offense began to change. AC Milan's intention was to pinch Leon and make it difficult for him to organize the team's offense.
But with Tevez's retreat, the little fat man began to become the midfielder commander of Inter Milan. The powerful assault ability created a very threatening attack for Inter Milan in the 17th minute of the first half.
In the 17th minute of the first half, Leon took the ball in the midfield. After attracting Gattuso, who was carrying a big knife, to slaughter him, Leon calmly handed the ball to the little fat man's feet.
The little fat Tevez dribbled the ball from the middle of the midfield and began to rush. With Tevez's breakthrough, AC Milan had to send someone to help defend.
But today AC Milan is playing 442. Where is the midfielder Gattuso facing Leon with a butcher knife? The rest of Pirlo's defense can't deal with Tevez. The side broke through the past and tore the entire AC Milan defense line to pieces.
In this way, Gattuso, who saw that the little fat boy Tevez was more oily, had to withdraw to make up for the defense, and Leon could finally take a breath of fresh air.
Damn, it's going to be really bad if you are so entangled by Gattuso.
When Tevez saw that Leon was out of restraint, he decisively returned the pass, and then moved away by himself.
Gattuso frowned, dare to play with his lover! So he ran back to defend Leon again, and Leon had quietly pushed for more than ten meters.
Don't underestimate the more than ten meters, because according to physics, biology... Anyway, many high-tech investigations and studies, the closer the pass is to the opponent's defense zone, the more threatening it is.
Leon has come to a very good passing position at this time, so facing Gattuso who is coming up from the defense, Leon directly makes a horizontal move and then makes a pass. Fernando Morientes has waited too long. The Spanish Tower turned around and slipped away from Stam's side, turned around and received Leon's through pass and broke into the penalty area!
On the line of the small penalty area, Morientes directly kicked the goal!
Although the shot was bravely blocked by Dida, Morientes' shot still won rounds of applause from the Inter Milan fans at the scene.
Well, there must be boos from AC Milan fans.
Milan Derby is like fried ice cream, ice and fire are two heavens!
...
As Leon began to find a way to deal with Gattuso, AC Milan also had to retract the defense line. In this way, Kaka, Inzaghi and Sheva would have fewer counterattacks in the frontcourt.
Because even if you steal the ball, Inzaghi and Sheva are still in your own half. Inter Milan can retreat calmly after making a mistake.
So Ancelotti, who was still drinking tea on the sidelines, also stood up, dragging his fat chin with his right hand, thinking about countermeasures.
...
AC Milan's defense couldn't resist for too long. In the 23rd minute of the first half, it was the same attack as before. Tevez attracted the defensive pressure for Leon. This time even the old fritter Figo came up to help take away Acc Milan's defensive attention.
Leon once again got a good passing space in midfield and this time, he sent the ball into the box with his left foot, Adriano caught the ball with Nesta on his shoulders, and then Alder turned with a powerful center forward Wipe Nesta behind.
Nesta couldn't express his suffering, and Adriano's side was like a small tank, which couldn't be squeezed at all!
Adriano, who entered the penalty area, looked at Stam rushing towards him and subconsciously split the ball with the instep of his right foot. When Stam came over, Morientes must be empty!
The Spanish Tower did not disappoint his teammates' expectations this time, he calmly raised his right foot and kicked the ball!
Boom——!
Inter Milan equalized the score! An excellent teamwork, Tevez's involvement, return pass, Leon's side split, Figo's back pass, Leon's through ball, Adelaide's side split...Center left, center right, inside and outside, Inter Milan used A good rhythm dragged down AC Milan's defense.
Even if your defense is flawless, Inter Milan can also open up gaps for you.
Now, Ancelotti's brows on the sidelines have begun to frown. It seems that Inter Milan won't even let him have a cup of tea.
...
After Inter Milan equalized the score, Ancelotti quickly summarized and adjusted the unfavorable situation of AC Milan during this period.
Ancelotti indicated that the AC Milan players must press forward, even if you can't prevent you from counterattacking, there must be a threat. Inter Milan can attack unscrupulously without threatening.
Ancelotti sent a double striker today just to seize the opportunity.
Soon, with the re-pressing of AC Milan, the situation changed again.
Leon also hurriedly signaled his teammates to retreat one after another. Of course, Adriano cannot return to defense. Inter Milan cannot make the mistake that AC Milan made just now. Even if it is a defensive counterattack, it must leave a bridgehead in front.
Adriano in the frontcourt wanted to come back to help his teammates defend, but Leon's attitude was firm, so Adriano could only wave his hands to say cheers to his brothers!
AC Milan's offense today was indeed sharp. In the 31st minute of the first half, Seedorf received a pass from Pirlo and made a breakthrough on the left. Inzaghi and Sheva attracted the attention of the Inter Milan defenders. Kaka from the center Quietly, Kaka directly attacked the goal after Seedorf made a cross...
Fortunately, Cesar reacted quickly and used his hand to support Kaka's threatening shot.
But Cesar is also reminding his teammates to pay attention, this time he can save it, but next time it may not be so.
Leon also raised his hand to Cesar to indicate that he lost his position just now, your sister, Kaka started to play guerrilla warfare with him, so Leon is really not easy to deal with him.
If Kaka charged with the ball head-on, Leon would be 80% sure to defend Kaka, but now Kaka doesn't play head-on with you at all, just keeps running and dragging you.
Leon's position is too critical, so he can't run around with Kaka, which caused Leon to become very passive for a while.
...
Fortunately, Inter Milan withstood AC Milan's attack for the next few minutes. After 35 minutes in the first half, the players of both teams slowed down the rhythm tacitly.
Because the physical fitness of the two teams was at its peak, they temporarily withdrew their troops and waited for a few minutes before resuming the battle.
Taking advantage of the opportunity of extreme physical fitness, Leon also asked his teammates to reposition. Cambiasso was called back by him to stand behind him. Kaka wanted to swim away. He definitely couldn't go there and stare at him like Gattuso Staring at him, so Leon called Camby back.
As for Figo, Leon asked him to stay in the frontcourt and chat with Adriano. Adriano is the fulcrum, and there must be a support point near the fulcrum. Tevez, a fat little man with good physical fitness, has to come back to defend. Morientes will also come back to harass at the right time.
So after the extreme physical fitness of both sides, the game seemed a little silent. The two teams played very steadily and seemed to be willing to accept the score of 1-1 in the first half.
There is no need for a decisive battle at this time. This is what Ancelotti and Mancini, as well as the players of the two teams on the field, think.
There is still so much time in the second half, there is plenty of time for a decisive battle, a one-to-one match is enough, if you push your opponent too fast, it will cause a fire in your own backyard instead, that would be bad.
So the two sides ended the first half with a score of one to one.
...
Fifteen minutes into the intermission, Ancelotti readjusted AC Milan's tactics. He decided to replace Serginho's defense line at Inter Milan at the beginning of the second half. Stam was replaced. Tini will retreat to the central defender position.
Serginho is a fast Brazilian player. Speaking of which, this guy played as a left winger when he debuted, but his shooting skills were poor and he withdrew to the left midfielder, and later he simply became a left back.
However, although Serginho's shooting skills are not good, his breakthrough is quite sharp, and Ancelotti intends to find a way to attack from the wing.
As for Inter Milan, Luka Modric will replace Figo under Mancini's arrangement. Mancini feels that there is no chance on the wing, so he simply strengthens the running of the midfield and takes advantage of the width of the pitch. and press to create offensive opportunities.
The head coaches of the two teams have already made their own calculations and are waiting for the final result of the game to test their theories.
...
The second half of the game continued in the hustle and bustle. After AC Milan replaced Serginho, the two Brazilian full-backs on the left and right began to revitalize the frontcourt offense. On the Inter Milan side, Modric is good at Leon's pressure was reduced, and at the beginning of the second half, Inter Milan defended and AC Milan attacked.
After this stalemate lasted for more than ten minutes, Inter Milan broke through. Seizing an offensive error made by AC Milan in the frontcourt, the young Croatian magic flute blew a beautiful piece of music, and Inter Milan's splendid offensive movement began.
After Modric dribbled the ball and made a two-for-one with Leon, the young Magic Flute went deep behind the enemy and sent a deadly pass. The little fat Tevez really had the courage of a thousand men!
The ambition to fall into battle is life or death!
Tevez broke through AC Milan's defense. The old Maldini couldn't hold back the young Tevez, and before Dida attacked, Tevez shot with his left foot, and the ball slipped into the net from Dida's armpit!
"Tevez! Two to one! Inter Milan overtook the score!"
After the goal, Tevez was running wildly excitedly, and Leon continued to tease Kaka at this time. He made a face at Kaka, as if saying to Kaka: Look, Ricardo , I told you already in the first half, what is it to be proud of?
Kaka stomped her feet in hatred...
