Ninety-Nine Real Madrid's Attack Is Coming!
Beep!
When the French referee Alain Sass blew the whistle to start the game, deafening cheers erupted from the Bernabéu Stadium, and more than 75,000 Real Madrid fans cheered for the team in unison.
Standing in the middle circle, AC Milan striker Inzaghi, wearing a red and black jersey, quickly kicked the ball to Shevchenko.
The Ukrainian nuclear warhead got rid of the ball without stopping, passed the ball back to the midfield, and passed it straight to the back position.
Kaka, who had just appeared in the live TV footage with a handsome smile on his face, hadn't completely suppressed his smile when he saw three players from Real Madrid rushing forward from the center line and passing by his side.
Raul, Ronaldo and Beckham!
Kaka was a little surprised, and turned to look behind her.
I saw that when Pirlo just received the ball, Ronaldo had already rushed in front of him, which surprised the Italian midfielder, and immediately turned around and knocked the ball back.
But Ronaldo continued to rush forward without slowing down, and approached Nesta and Karadze behind Pirlo.
At the same time, Raul and Beckham have also approached AC Milan's defense.
Kaka glanced at the situation, and before he could fully figure it out, he felt another white figure approaching him.
Zidane!
Real Madrid pressed on aggressively from the very beginning.
When Ronaldo approached Nesta and Caladze, Zidane was already close to Pirlo, which made it difficult for AC Milan's two central defenders to pass the ball forward, and Raul and Beckham approached the two. Fullback.
Almost in an instant, AC Milan's central defender chose to pass back.
But Ronaldo still didn't slow down, and rushed directly towards the penalty area.
Dida resolutely abandoned the goal and attacked, not daring to stop the ball, and kicked the ball forward with a big foot.
The Milan goalkeeper's big kick was of poor quality. After reaching the frontcourt, it was immediately snatched away by the Real Madrid defender.
Ronaldo slowed down on the outside of the penalty area, smiled at his fellow Brazilians, showing his iconic rabbit teeth, but turned around and ran back immediately without any nostalgia.
Damn, it's for fear of offside!
Dida immediately shouted loudly to his teammates in front: "Be careful.
"
Soon, Real Madrid's offense came.
...
As soon as the game whistle sounded, Real Madrid pulled the game into the fast lane with a stormy attack.
No one thought of this.
But in terms of tactical effects, Gao Shen is very satisfied.
AC Milan follows the technical flow and is good at ball control, but the ball control of the Rossoneri is actually different from that of Barcelona.
There are two very big differences.
First of all, in the midfield, especially after losing the ball in the frontcourt, AC Milan basically does not invest in counter-robbing, but chooses to position at the first time to maintain the order and stability of its own defensive formation.
Ancelotti is still the same Ancelotti in his bones.
At the same time, the technical ability of AC Milan's players is not as delicate as that of Barcelona. Even a Brazilian player like Kaka, let alone Ronaldinho, even Iniesta Not as good.
Of course, what is being said here is purely technical sophistication.
In other words, AC Milan's players' ability to control the ball is much weaker than that of Barcelona's. Coupled with the age factor, their players' running is not as good as Barcelona's. It's not a quick ball, but a short pass in the midfield to cooperate with the advancement.
Anyone who is familiar with Sacchi's tactical system back then knows that this is actually exactly the same as the period of the Dutch Three Musketeers.
This has the advantage, that is to induce the opponent's frontcourt to invest in a counter-attack on the spot, and then the defensive strength of the backcourt will be weak.
After the penetration and cooperation of short passes, find out the loopholes, and then counterattack.
In the counterattack, Pirlo's long pass and Kaka's breakthrough with the ball often played a key role.
It can be said that AC Milan was able to win next season's Champions League with the team with the oldest average age in history, and Kaka was able to win the Ballon d'Or and World Player of the Year thanks to Ancelotti's tactics.
But this style of play is not flawless.
Two ways, one is to imitate Lyon, press the frontcourt, cut off the connection between AC Milan's defenders and midfielders, so that they cannot organize effective offenses, and the key is to limit Kaka.
The other is to get in position immediately after losing the ball and organize a tight defense.
In this way, Milan slowly advanced to Real Madrid's half-court, only to find that Real Madrid's two or three lines of defense were already in full swing.
Gao Shen didn't bet on the first option because it was too aggressive. Once the frontcourt was not strong enough to give Pirlo and Kaka a chance, the defense would be very dangerous. He also didn't simply choose the second option because it would make the scene too passive. Not good for offense.
He chose a combination of the two.
Pirlo is actually better restricted, the key is Kaka.
Therefore, Gao Shen asked Gravesen and De La Reid to limit Kaka while protecting the defense.
Once the pressure in the midfield is weak, then find a way to delay or even interrupt AC Milan's ball advancement, and decisively choose the second option.
Means, including but not limited to various technical fouls.
As for the effect, just look at Ancelotti's expression.
...
Ancelotti has never returned to the visiting team's bench since the whistle sounded at the start of the game, and the expression on his face has never been relaxed for a moment.
He was always tense.
Although he believed that he had made sufficient mental preparations before the game, the facts proved that he underestimated Gao Shen's determination.
In other words, Gao Shen was even crazier than he imagined.
From the start of the game, he didn't hold back at all, and directly pulled the game into the fast lane.
This fast-paced offense and defense made AC Milan very uncomfortable.
Everyone knows that Serie A does not have such a game rhythm.
What's more terrible is that Gao Shen is almost playing against AC Milan's weakness.
When Milan is in possession of the ball, Real Madrid will intensify their pressing and pressure to try to grab the ball in the shortest possible time. Since Milan’s counter-stealing is not strong after losing the ball, after Real Madrid grabs the ball, if they can play immediately On counterattack, they play fast break, otherwise, they switch to possession.
Playing technology, Milan does not have an advantage in front of Real Madrid.
What is even more unbelievable is that Raul, Ronaldo, Beckham and Zidane, the top and most extravagant superstar lineup in the world, even under the command of Gao Shen, pressed AC Milan every step of the way.
"I don't know how Queiroz and Luxenberg will feel when they see this scene?" Mauro Tassotti couldn't help but smiled wryly.
Real Madrid's poor performance in the past three years is because of the frontcourt superstar.
But now, the things that these famous marshals can't handle have been settled by Gao Shen.
Gao Shen really used the top superstars as engineers, and played Ronaldo as Negredo, but the superstars are still happy, can you imagine?
"We're about ten points behind in possession," Mauro Tassotti reminded.
Fifty-five versus forty-five.
Ancelotti frowned even deeper.
In fact, from the beginning to the present, more than ten minutes have passed. Both teams have shot, but they have not been able to pose a direct threat.
Real Madrid will shoot more times, there are already four shots, AC Milan is one.
"What the hell is this kid playing?" Ancelotti couldn't figure it out.
How long can you run like Real Madrid?
Especially like Ronaldo and Zidane, they consume so much, can they last until the end of the first half?
"Could it be that he wants to compete with us and wait for the second half..." Mauro Tassotti guessed.
But he immediately realized that this was almost impossible.
If you really want to fight for consumption, it should be Negredo, not Ronaldo.
Ronaldo is a sharp knife for scoring goals.
Just when Ancelotti and the two were thinking hard, there was a burst of exclamation in the stadium.
I saw De La Reid and Gravesen pinching Kaka at the same time. Gravesen was more flexible, and after taking the first step to steal the ball, he passed it to Zidane in the frontcourt.
Zidane blocked Pirlo with his body.
The Italian midfielder was almost unable to move when Zidane leaned on him, and he didn't even have the ability to resist.
The French midfielder stopped, made a pick, turned around, passed again, and passed the ball to Raul.
After Raul went to the space to catch the ball, he attracted the attention of Stam and Nesta, and sent a diagonal pass to the penalty area.
Ronaldo threw away Karadze and chased after him, but he was still slow.
Dida strikes first and saves the ball.
The Brazilian striker roared angrily, clearly annoyed at his clumsiness and slowness.
If he is not so fat, if he is faster, the ball will be sure.
The Real Madrid fans at the scene still gave warm applause to the players on the field and affirmed their performance.
Ancelotti on the sidelines excitedly walked to the sidelines, shouted the names of Stam and Nesta, and signaled them to pay attention, and Kaladze, to keep an eye on Ronaldo.
fat?
No matter how fat he is, he is Ronaldo!
...
Real Madrid gradually gained momentum.
Especially after Ronaldo's one-handed failure this time, it greatly improved the morale of the team.
Everyone realized that AC Milan was really afraid of Real Madrid's frontcourt pressing and oppression.
This has been confirmed from the two rounds in Lyon to the Milan derby.
Tonight, at the Bernabéu is no exception.
To some extent, this is Milan's culprit, and Ancelotti will not be able to change it for a while.
Especially if he has to use a double striker.
This kind of pressing by Real Madrid has forced AC Milan defenders into a panic from time to time, frequently chasing them near the penalty area.
For example, this time, after Real Madrid intercepted the ball near the center line, Felipe passed the ball to Raul, but Stam took the lead and headed the ball to Nesta.
Raul rushed to Nesta in the first place, who was forced to kick the ball straight forward with his big foot.
The ball reached the frontcourt, and was headed back by Dela Reid before it fell to the front of Milan's penalty area.
On the right side of the front of the top of the arc, Ronaldo retreated, blocked Karadze with his body, and desperately blocked the Milan central defender. Seedorf was in front, and the three were almost entangled.
As a result, Seedorf was in the front position, jumped up and failed to grab the ball, and Karadze behind him also jumped up and pressed Ronaldo with his body, but he didn't expect that the timing was wrong, he jumped early, and when the ball came, he His body was already falling.
On the contrary, Ronaldo, who was so crushed that he couldn't take off, saw that Kaladze had fallen to the top, and he immediately broke free from his opponent's entanglement, turned around and chased forward.
But Karadze is also very experienced, and his reaction is fast enough. When he landed, he directly fell to the ground and tackled Ronaldo to the ground.
The crisp whistle sounded suddenly.
