Midfielder Ruler

Before Arsenal host Inter Milan's Champions League 1/8 finals, a Milan home against Dortmund's Champions League 1/8 finals is undoubtedly the most eye-catching focus of the Champions League match week. .

San Siro stadium was full, and it looked like a sea of ​​red and black.

Dortmund was not like an ark in the ocean, it seemed to be washed away at any time.

However, Dortmund in the stadium was led by a Milan veteran Pirlo, who was mainly anti-guest. In the first five minutes of the game, Milan did not complete even a shot, even scoring Dortmund's defense of 30 meters.

Pirlo knows a Milan well, and a Milan knows Pirlo well.

But people will change, especially for old football drivers like Pirlo, playing football is often a brain test.

And a Milan's tactical system is difficult to change, especially many players on the field are used to Pirlo conveying shells behind him.

Ginger is still old and spicy, which can be easily seen from five minutes before the game.

The two teams sent the strongest lineup that they can currently send. The official lineup submitted by Milan at home is four or two.

Goalkeepers are veteran Abbiati, defenders are Anthony, Mex, Tiago Silva and Abate, midfielders Van Bommel, Seedorf, Nocerino and K Boateng, Iraq Brahimovic and Robinho topped the line.

Dortmund's official lineup is four two three one, the goalkeeper is still Weidenfeller, the back line is Schmelzer, Humels, Subotic and Pishcek.

There were some changes in the double back combination. The captain who warmed up before the game was replaced by Sven Bender. His partner Pirlo played double back.

Goetze, Tang Zheng and Royce played three avant-garde, Lewandowski was at the top.

Logically speaking, a Milan who is at home should take the initiative, but the visiting team under Pirlo has the advantage on the field, making Robinho have to return to their own 40 meters area to help defend, leaving only Iraq. Brahimovic pressed Dortmund's double centre-back.

It wasn't until the tenth minute that a Milan at home was shot by the team's veteran Seedorf.

But after completing this shot, Seedorf felt a little discomfort in his right thigh in the next wave of offensive and defensive conversions. After careful examination by the team doctor, he was missed as a thigh muscle strain and could not continue to participate in the game.

Muscle strain is a very serious injury for a veteran who is nearly 36 years old.

The Italian national TV commentator worriedly said: "Van Bommel's running range is not as good as that of his age. Considering Dortmund's strong offensive ability, he is more focused on defense, if Clarence Seedorf cannot Persist in the game, this Milan attack will be a huge score, whether it is Antonio Nocerino or Kevin Boateng, they are not good at passing threats ... "

Central 5 commentator He Wei was overjoyed by the footage given to the live guide. He said: "If Seedorf has no way to stick to the game, this is definitely good news for Dortmund!"

In the twelfth minute, Emmanuelson, wearing a jersey No. 28, followed the fourth official to the sidelines, and the fourth official was holding a substitution electronic card in his hand.

In other words ... Seedorf can't stick to it anymore!

A Milan made the first substitution in the audience without any way, passive substitution.

Because of this substitution, San Siro Stadium's home team fans became more pessimistic.

The team's lineup was originally worse than Dortmund, and now they are forced to make substitution adjustments, which will make them a little uneasy.

Head coach Allegri stands and paces in the coaching command area. The game has been passive from the first second. Now the offense lacks Seedorf organization, which has a huge impact on the team.

as predicted.

Without Seedorf ’s offensive tandem, Emmanuelson and K Boateng alone cannot threaten Dortmund ’s defensive system.

Moreover, Emmanuelson only joined A Milan from Ajax last summer. He didn't have much chance to play and he lacked a tacit understanding with his teammates.

K Boateng is more like a second striker hidden behind the center. The delicate offensive organization is not suitable for him at all.

Therefore, Allegri simply let the team attack and hold high, and pass the midfield as soon as possible, without entangled with Dortmund too much.

Or directly hand over the football to Ibrahimovic or Robinho, who will complete the team's offensive mission.

This method does have a certain effect, a Milan slowly played home advantage and regained a certain ball.

※※※

The game went to the sixteenth minute, a Milan at home played a high-quality offense.

The Milan pass from the defender passed quickly through the midfield. After being blocked, the attack relied on Robinho's excellent ball-handling skills to retain the ball.

Right defender Abate finally seized the opportunity and plugged in to participate in the team's attack. After winning the ball, he directly picked Dortmund's right rib in the penalty area.

That is, Subotic and Schmelzer's defensive restricted ribs are free, k Boateng from the back, the chest will move the ball forward, and the non-stop ball comes directly with a strong foot Shot.

K Boateng who finished the shot feels good, but when the football left his right foot he widened his eyes.

Because ... a right foot appeared on the football line.

Although did not completely block the shot, it was precisely because of the lift of this foot, which caused a slight deviation of the football's running trajectory.

It is this deviation that makes the running trajectory of football higher.

Goalkeeper Weidenfeller flew to save without hitting the football, but the football hit the upper edge of the beam, a clear sound of "Bang", and then flew out of the bottom line.

"Oh oh--"

At the same time, a huge exclamation burst over the San Siro stadium.

K Boateng held his head in both hands and looked sorry.

Subotic's heart stretched out and pulled Tang Zheng up from the ground. If it wasn't Tang Zheng's defense in place, he blocked the ball and touched the running track of the football with his toes, then K Boateng's shot was very good It is possible to score goals!

K Boateng turned his head to look at Tang Zheng, and there was strong dissatisfaction between the eyebrows.

Just stopped the ball and shot in one go. If the goal is scored, it is a proper world wave.

The result was destroyed by Tang Zheng.

A Milan only got one from the right corner ...

The live guide gave a slow-motion replay, and German sky commentator Marcel Leif gave a comment: "With Andre Pirlo on the offensive end less powerful, Don helps the team defensively on the defensive end, from slow motion We can clearly see in his return defense that it was his key outstroke that caused Kevin Boateng ’s shot to hit the beam ... "

Klopp, who was standing in the coaching area of ​​the visiting team, was fortunate to pat the chest, and then informed the back line through Royce who returned to the defense. Pay attention to the defense of the two ribs, especially k Boateng and Emmanuel. Mori's back

Plug it in and you have to take care of it.

Tang Zheng's active back defense has nothing to do with the tactical arrangement of the head coach before the game. It is his excellent ability to read the game that has played a role, and he appeared in the most critical position when it was critical.

Klopp is very satisfied with Tang Zheng's performance on the field, especially when Pirlo is too focused on the offensive organization, Tang Zheng's proper recovery always allows the team to easily resolve in the process of turning from offense to defense.

Most of the time it appears in the lens does not reflect its true value, but Klopp as the head coach is particularly clear.

Also sees the clues are Allegri, he is now a headache, do not know how to make tactical adjustments.

Tang Zheng now only plays a role on the defensive end, but the most threatening Tang Zheng is reflected on the offensive end, which means that he is waiting for opportunities ...

A Pirlo facing the old owner made the team very headache, and now there is a lurking Tang Zheng.

What should I do?

※※※

Robinho took a corner kick. Tang Zheng, who was wearing the captain's armband on his left arm, jumped high, pressing Ibrahimovic and Tiago Silva to push the football out of the penalty area.

Abat, who was waiting outside the penalty area, caught up with a foot, and was pressed out in time to block Sven Bend to block the sideline.

San Siro Stadium once again exploded with great exclamation.

The atmosphere at the scene is very fanatical. Every fan releases his energy in this unique Champions League atmosphere, cheering for the team he supports.

A Milan suddenly through the ribs empty to play behind Dortmund's tactics did not work, they never found a decent chance.

Whether it is Subotic or Hummels, or Sven Bender and Pirlo, they all began to pay attention to the protection of the ribs.

No threat was encountered on the defensive end, and the offensive end naturally began to show its power.

Getze has both technical skills, but Abate's degree is very fast, known as Serie A's first full-back, there is not much chance for Getze to single out.

Pirlo's ability to read the game is strong. Passing through his transition will consciously pass to the offensive right or left rib, avoiding the most defensive right of a Milan.

Of course, it also has a lot to do with Tiago Silva playing right back.

Royce's foot technique is not as delicate as Goetze, but he wins faster, Antonini can't keep up with him.

In the twenty-first minute, Tang Zheng received Pirlo's direct pass and kept kicking to Royce on the right.

Tang Zheng had a move to add the ball after passing the football, so that Van Bommel and Robinho's attention was placed on Tang Zheng, Royce got a one-to-one opportunity.

Royce's control of football is very good. His upper body first made an illusion of shaking to the left. Anthony thought Royce was inward, so his body closed to the ribs. As a result, Royce's left foot Snap the football towards the baseline.

Breakthrough!

Offense is often more active than defense. This breakthrough of technical and degree coexistence perfectly reflects the offensive initiative.

It's too late for Anthony to turn around and chase Royce.

At this time, it is important to know that Lewandowski and Tang Zheng, two players with very strong ability to grab points, entered the restricted area.

Van Bommel, Nocerino and Thiago Silva suddenly increased defensive pressure.

Royce looked up at the restricted area during the high run, Lewandowski moved from the middle road to the front point, Tang Zheng rushed back from the middle road ...

Tiago Silva stared at Lewandowski, while Van Bommel and Nocerino caught Tang Zheng.

No matter who it is, it's not so easy to pass.

Unless the placement is excellent, bypass the defensive player ...

As Royce was about to lift his foot to try his luck, Yu Guang saw a Dortmund player wearing a yellow jersey in this area of ​​the big penalty area keeping up.

As for who he is, he has no extra time to watch, because Meeks has pulled out to defend.

Everyone thought that Royce was looking for Tang Zheng or Lewandowski, but no matter who his pass was for, Milan fans at San Siro stadium were very worried and they held their breath.

"Marco Royce!" German sky commentator Marcel Leff's voice was twice higher.

At this moment, Royce kicked his right foot towards the football.

Is very different from everyone's expected high-altitude ball to find Tang Zheng or Lewandowski. Royce's pass is close to the turf and it is still rushing towards the big penalty area.

"Inverted triangle!" Marcel Leff yelled violently, and the live guide switched the lens accordingly, aiming at the top of the arc of the big restricted area: "Andre Pirlo!"

The Milan fans who stood behind the goal watched the ball at an excellent angle. They saw Pirlo heading towards the football and thought of Pirlo's contribution to Milan for ten years. Their mood was very complicated at the moment.

Many fans choose to close their eyes and see nothing.

"Press it out!" Goalkeeper Abbiati panicked the commanding back line player.

But at this time, Tang Zheng was taken away from the double midfielder, and the other midfielder was not in position. The same was true for the double midfielder.

That is to say, at this time, this area of ​​the Milan restricted area is unmarked.

Pirlo got plenty of observation time and shooting time ~ www.novelmtl.com ~ The Italian national TV commentator exclaimed.

Time waits for no one, Pirlo on the run greets the ball and lifts the priceless right leg.

"Boom ~!"

The football was forced to make a muffled noise, rolling against the turf and rolling towards the bottom right corner of the goal.

The biggest difference between technical players and ordinary players is that they know how to use their brains. The big penalty area is less than 20 meters from the goal and 732 meters from the goal. It is almost impossible for the goalkeeper to cover the entire goal.

Pirlo had already figured out which part to kick, where to touch the football, and even the angle at which to shoot before shooting.

With plenty of preparation time, Pirlo completed all the tasks he wanted to complete!

Abiati is approaching his retirement age, his physical fitness has deteriorated very badly, and Pirlo's shot choice is to roll the ball.

As a goalkeeper, the most feared thing is to shoot at the two lower corners walking against the ground, because it takes time to get down.

He is not himself when he was young ...

Football touched the turf and rolled towards the bottom right corner of the goal, hitting the snow-white net. Abbiati fell to the ground and could not catch it.

San Siro Stadium became extremely quiet at this moment, and Pirlo, who scored, raised his arms and made a move that he did not want to celebrate.
