Chapter 79: Eat Milan directly
The evening of March 28th.
Today's San Siro Stadium is undoubtedly full again.
Not to mention that tonight is an important Champions League quarterfinals, and the opponent is a giant like Real Madrid. In fact, this is the case in every home game of Milan this season.
Good grades and beautiful playing are of course loved by fans.
In addition, Pan Yi, a young coach who is highly valued by the fans of Long Country, has attracted countless people from Long Country to come for a pilgrimage.
So whenever there is a game in Milan, the inside and outside of the San Siro Stadium is inseparable.
Pan Yi has long been accustomed to the atmosphere of San Siro.
He followed Allegri, walked into the stadium amid the cheers of fans, and began to shake hands with his opponent's coaching staff.
When he held Mourinho's hand, Pan Yi obviously felt the madman's hand pinched hard.
Pan Yi looked up and saw Mourinho showing a strange smile but not speaking.
Pan Yi also smiled at him, and then returned to the home team's bench.
This is also part of Mourinho's psychological warfare?
Unfortunately, it is useless for Pan Yi, who has opened the perspective of God.
He only knows one thing: Mourinho definitely wants to kill Milan today, and he uses a Milan way to kill Milan!
But Pan Yi thought so too.
He was already sitting in his seat, looking at the two teams on the field.
Mourinho's 4231 is still the center forward Benzema.
Behind him are front midfielder Kaka, as well as two wingers, Ronaldo and Di Maria.
Double midfielder Alonso and Khedira.
Marcelo, Ramos, Pepe, and Aveloa lined up in the back line.
Goalkeeper Casillas.
It's basically the same as Pan Yi's prediction.
In fact, Mourinho's attitude today can be seen from the use of the left-back position.
He used the Brazilian defender Marcelo, who had stronger attack capabilities, instead of the Portuguese defender Coentrand, who had more balanced attack and defense.
In this way, Pan Yi's targeted tactics before the game can have a relatively good effect.
Of course, the formation of AC Milan is still 433, and the lineup is also the regular main force:
Forwards: Mane, Ibrahimovic, Salah.
Midfielders: Kante, Boateng, Gattuso.
Defenders: Zambrota, Thiago Silva, Van Dijk, Abate.
Goalkeeper: Ederson.
Also in the left-back position, the coaching staff chose veteran Zambrota.
The main reason is that the young Desilio's condition has been a little ups and downs recently, which may be related to the emotional fluctuations caused by his playing against the main player of Milan at such a young age.
In addition, Zambrota has also played for Barcelona and participated in the Spanish national derby. He is not unfamiliar with Real Madrid and can enter the game faster.
So in such an important game, Zanbrotta was still allowed to avoid any accidents.
...
The live TV broadcast switches to the camera looking down at the whole audience, and you can see Benzema and Kaka standing in the middle circle to prepare for the kickoff.
Ronaldo and Di Maria stood on both sides of the stadium, ready to run to Milan's halftime at any time.
"The focus of this Champions League quarter-finals is about to begin."
Zhan Jun's commentary also sounded:
"From the value of the two teams, Real Madrid is definitely far higher than Milan."
"Just as the two top players of Real Madrid, Ronaldo spent 80 million pounds when he transferred from Manchester United. Kaka's net worth also reached 65 million euros."
"In Milan, even Ibrahimovic's net worth is only 24 million euros. Other main players, such as Salah, Mane, Kanter, and Van Dijk, including Brazilian goalkeeper Ederson who just joined the winter window, are like they bought from Taobao, and their net worth can be almost ignored."
"But this is such a low-priced team that has performed well this season. They ranked first in the list with an unbeaten record of 24 wins and 4 draws in the Serie A, and have almost won the Serie A championship."
"Of course Real Madrid's performance in La Liga is not inferior. After 30 rounds of the league, they also achieved excellent record of 25 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses, and beat their rivals, Barcelona to the top of the standings."
"Now, these two teams that performed best in both leagues meet in the knockout round."
"Before the game, the coaches of the two teams also had a verbal battle. Now I don't know who can be better on the court..."
On the field.
Accompanied by a crisp whistle, the game officially kicked off amid the cheers and shouts of Milan fans throughout the audience.
Benzema kicked the ball to Kaka, and Kaka immediately passed the ball back to his midfielder.
Milan's trident crossed the center line at the first time, rushed towards Real Madrid's half, and put pressure on their two back midfielders.
Alonso stopped the ball and turned sideways, passing the ball to the right.
There is Aveloa that was inserted in front.
Mane immediately went up to press, and Aveloa handed the ball over the sideline to Ronaldo right.
The difference between the two wingers and Milan is that both Real Madrid wingers play smoothly.
Ronaldo kicked the right winger with his right foot, and Di Maria kicked the left winger with his left foot.
This is because in Mourinho's 4231 tactical system, the distance between the midfield defense line and the back line will be wider, and he will also require the opponent's full-back to collect and protect the middle lane, so he will ask his two wingers and two full-backs to pull.
In this case, both the winger and the fullback are smooth, which can better implement Mourinho's tactical intentions.
Moreover, when the winger gets the ball on the wing, Mourinho also gives the players more freedom, not limiting whether he wants to cross from the bottom or cut in the shot, or exchange positions with the other wingers.
Doing so will allow Real Madrid to be more flexible in the frontcourt and will not be restricted by their opponents.
In addition, the triangular positions of several Real Madrid's "forward-winter-failor" that have outstanding anti-offside ability also make it impossible for the opponent's defense line to press forward, and it is difficult to maintain the relative position distance relationship with the midfielder.
In this way, the vast open area of Real Madrid's midfielder is created, and the "center-back-fast midfielder" is directly connected and quickly passes the midfield mode. More and more people appear in Real Madrid's games this season.
Mourinho's midfield and backcourt advancement in this offensive set can maximize the potential of offensive players, and in a short time it can form a five-man offensive team in the frontcourt to suppress the opponent.
Now on the court, when Ronaldo got the ball, several teammates closest to Real Madrid, Benzema, Kaka, also leaned towards him and prepared to cooperate with him.
Sure enough, when Kanter was about to grab Ronaldo's ball, Ronaldo immediately handed the ball to Kaka and then stepped forward without hesitation.
Kaka didn't stick the ball, so she gently snatched the ball to Benzema.
Although Benzema was holding the ball with his back, he looked like his eyes were on the back of his head, and he raised his legs and passed the ball to the right side.
The ball returned to Ronaldo's feet.
But unlike just now, after such a simple transmission, Real Madrid's front has advanced more than 20 meters forward.
Milan left-back Zambrota did not dare to neglect. Before Ronaldo could start, he fell to the ground and tackled the ball out of bounds. At the same time, he also tackled Ronaldo, which could barely stop the attack.
Just ten seconds into the opening game, Real Madrid had already acted like they wanted to eat Milan directly!
