Many years later, when people selected "Long Yu's best partner", Balotelli was clearly on the list.

And the location is relatively forward.

A reporter asked Balotelli: "Do you have any special secrets for partnering with Long?"

Balotelli: "No."

Reporter: "Is there any special feeling there?"

Balotelli: "Yes. When you score a goal or assist him, you must protect your neck."

reporter:"???"

For example, in this game, if Chang Ming hadn't saved Balotelli again, I'm afraid Allegri would have used the reserved substitution quota again.

Chang Ming: "Xiaolong, let go, hurry up, he is going to die..."

The game restarted, and neither side scored another goal in the remaining ten minutes.

The score was fixed at 4 to 2.

This game is the twentieth round of Serie A, the first game of the second half.

When Milan faced Sampdoria, both games in a single season resulted in a 4-2 result.

very funny.

This game ended on January 14th, and Milan players can take a little rest.

For them, playing one game a week is already a very relaxed situation.

In the next period of time, the intensive schedule will start again.

On January 20, in the twenty-first round of Serie A, Milan will face the challenge of Bologna at home.

On January 23, the Italian Cup semi-finals will arrive as scheduled. In the first round, they will play Lazio away.

On January 27, Milan will play away again and face Atlanta.

On January 30, the second leg of the Italian Cup semi-finals will be staged at San Siro. In the end, Milan and Lazio will compete for a ticket to the Italian Cup final.

Four games in 11 days, an average of less than one game in three days.

Six days later, facing Bologna, which was ranked 13th in the league, Allegri made some personnel adjustments.

Many main players were rested, including Montolivo, Abbiati, Boateng and other players, all sitting on the bench.

Players such as Muntari, De Jong, Amelia, Shalawi and others all got the chance to start.

Of course, the entire substitute lineup cannot be used. After all, Bologna is not absolutely weak.

Chang Ming and Long Yu, who are the core of the central axis, still start the game.

And new aid Balotelli finally got a chance to start.

In the intensive schedule, players must be rotated reasonably.

This is what Allegri must do.

There is also the striker combination, which needs to be tried more.

The previous combination of Long Yu and Balotelli was pretty good.

But we didn't cooperate for a long time.

Facing the weak Bologna in this game, it was just a good time for the two of them to practice their skills.

In the first ten minutes of the game, Milan had a good offensive attack, but they never found the feeling of scoring a goal.

Especially Long Yu and Balotelli, their coordination is obviously not as good as others.

Long Yu responded with a header, but Balotelli was always too far away.

Without a partner like Pazzini who is very close to the goal, Long Yu's ball play is a bit awkward.

For Balotelli, his long shots always pursue angles.

Often Long Yu runs up and Balotelli is knocked away.

Long Yu was so angry that he wanted to go over and beat him.

Taking advantage of a dead ball opportunity, Long Yu pulled Balotelli aside.

"Can you fucking play football?"

"..."

"When you came on as a substitute in the first two games, our cooperation was fine. Why is it useless today?"

"..."

"You should have a good feel for it in a while! Look at our positions!"

Long Yu didn't say much, Balotelli was already thinking.

In fact, for geniuses, there is no need to explain it too clearly. Both of them know in their hearts what the problem is.

Without Pazzini by his side, Long Yu tried to control the ball at his feet and passed it back to Balotelli.

After all, Balotelli likes to be positioned further back to facilitate his play.

And Balotelli also began to adjust his shooting method, instead of pursuing the angle too much, and changed it to a power type.

In this way, it can create more opportunities for Long Yu to grab points.

Sure enough, after the two adjusted, the goals came quickly.

In the 21st minute of the game, Long Yu received the ball in the penalty area. This time he chose to be steady and stop.

Facing the squeeze from the two central defenders behind him, Chang Ming chose to hit back.

Balotelli followed up with a volley from the top of the penalty area!

The ball hit the net!

The ball went in!

1 to 0!

Milan finally broke the deadlock!

Five minutes later, Balotelli shot a long shot from 32 meters away from the goal!

The ball goes straight to the right side of the goal!

This time I am not chasing angles very much, but the power is great!

The goalkeeper can only punch out with both fists!

Just then, Long Yu was caught in front of him!

Ejection into the far corner!

The ball went in!

2 to 0!

Milan expands its lead!

After scoring two goals in a row, the game completely entered the rhythm of Milan.

In the 32nd minute of the game, Balotelli suddenly made a forward move from the left!

Chang Ming's pass found him accurately!

Hit the bottom line horizontally!

The ball is extremely fast!

Long Yu stabbed the ball into the net in front of the goal!

3 to 0!

Milan scores another goal!

When the first half of the game was about to end, it was Chang Ming passing the ball again, this time to Long Yu!

In the middle of the penalty area, Long Yu was suppressed by the defensive player, and he chose to header the ball and rub it back!

The goalkeeper had no expectations!

Balotelli shoots from behind!

Get online easily!

4 to 0!

In just 45 minutes, Milan scored four goals in a row!

Long Yu and Balotelli each scored twice!

During halftime, in the locker room, Allegri praised the performance of the two.

At the same time, Chang Ming was also praised.
