Chapter 390

Inzaghi's lightning strike made all Italian fans crazy. They didn't expect the team to equalize the score in such a short time, and it was such a beautiful and fast lightning war.

Only two minutes into the second half, the score on the big screen had been rewritten again. It is estimated that all AC Milan fans may be cheering crazily for Inzaghi's magical performance.

Even Lineker, who has experienced the world championship, said helplessly, "The Italians' counterattacks are always so efficient and accurate, and Inzaghi is as sharp as Rossi once was."

Perhaps Lineker, who has seen Rossi perform on the world stage, can know how terrible Inzaghi's running and his grabbing are when he starts.

That is a feeling unique to strikers. Only those who have been world-class shooters can have this keen feeling. Lineker is like this, and Shearer beside him has the same experience.

Compared with Lineker's talkativeness, Shearer seems to be more silent. Perhaps he is also missing the glorious moments a few years ago when he could still gallop on the front line like Inzaghi.

Although Shearer has not retired from Newcastle United, the "Magpie" can only leave the iconic center forward of the England national team with internal strife and various regrets of being away from the European war.

How great it would be if I could be a few years younger, at least I could continue to run on the green field like Inzaghi, enjoy the pleasure of scoring a goal, and accept the cheers of fans.

For those who are about to retire or have retired, asking them to comment on the game is sometimes a professional need, but more often, they rely on commentary to miss the past.

Anyway, Inzaghi's perfect performance has aroused the crazy celebration of the Italians.

But those English fans are definitely not in the mood to cheer for the opponent's goal, especially those who watch the game in the London bar. At this moment, they don't even have the desire to drink a beer.

Although they were still discussing Chelsea's reversal during the halftime break and whether they could score a few more goals against the Italians in the second half, this damn scene now made them very irritated.

"That damn goal, damn Italian guy." I don't know how many people are holding beer cups and cursing Inzaghi and his goal that just made the English depressed.

Especially Chelsea fans, at this moment, they may want to knock out the guy who made them depressed with their glasses. It was his goal that affected their mood for drinking and they lost the interest in shouting.

If the last 20 minutes of the first half was a festival for Chelsea fans, then the two minutes after the start of the second half, they no longer had the idea of ​​cheering and could only sit in the bar like this.

They couldn't figure out why after being defeated by the opponent with a blitzkrieg in the first half, the scene was repeated in the second half, and the damn goal always appeared suddenly in front of them after the opening.

Chelsea's defense has always been the most trusted by fans, but it was this line of defense that was broken through by the opponent twice in a row. Although the score was only tied, many people have begun to worry.

But professionals like Lineker not only see the goals, they can also understand the changes on the field, just like Mourinho who stopped on the sidelines, and can smell the smell of danger.

Just like AC Milan's attack just now, the Italians started a crazy attack in the second half with only one player replaced, and their attack was quite layered.

This change can be reflected intuitively on the field, and that layering also makes the team very motivated.

Unlike the attack in the opening stage, that was a surprise attack launched by Kaka himself. The whole process could not make any mistakes. What was required was accuracy, and the response must be in place in time.

Kaka's pass and Crespo's sweeping shot all require pass accuracy accurate to centimeters.

This is also true for the final shot. Chelsea's first goal was lost because of this accuracy.

But this time, from the breakthrough to the final pass, Kaka did not need to worry about whether the opponent would counterattack after the attack failed. When he moved forward, the entire team's formation began to move forward.

If Shevchenko's shot did not go in, not only would Inzaghi be able to catch the landing point, but even if Carvalho successfully cleared the ball, the offensive group waiting outside would continue to press forward.

Like Seedorf and Pirlo, they had already approached the penalty area infinitely. Either they intercepted the clearance ball themselves, or they took the ball directly to them in the backcourt, and then they could immediately launch a new attack.

Such an attack is absolutely terrible. Mourinho is very clear about the sharpness of the oppressive style of play.

Either you don't make a mistake, as long as you make a mistake, you may be strangled by the opponent. Mourinho's counterattack tactics are derived from this. He needs players to force the opponent to make mistakes.

It's just different from Chelsea's tactical arrangement. Chelsea is waiting for the opponent to make mistakes in the attack.

Then they will launch a quick and accurate raid in their own half, but AC Milan seems very proactive.

They pay more attention to combining interspersed running and personal skills in offense to pressure the opponent's defense, hoping that the opponent will make mistakes in defense, and then their sharp attack will cut the opponent's aorta.

This may be the biggest difference between the two teams. One team is better at actively creating opportunities, while the other team is waiting to find missed opportunities. In terms of offensive initiative, Chelsea is obviously a little behind AC Milan. Mourinho will never avoid this.

There is no way. This is the gap between the two teams. In terms of personal skills, Chelsea is indeed at a disadvantage. Except for Lin Yi, who can be said to be on par with the opponent, the rest are a little worse.

Chelsea relies on oppression to cut off the opponent's offense, while AC Milan relies on oppression to penetrate the opponent's defense.

Now Ancelotti has used this set of things for him. AC Milan also wants Chelsea to make mistakes in defense, and then give a fatal blow. It is simple and very efficient.

AC Milan players, who are already technically superior, are really difficult to deal with if they simply play such an offense, because everyone in their frontcourt may be the starting point of this attack.

If Kaka hadn't made a forward run just now, it would have been possible to make Ferreira so embarrassed if he had replaced Seedorf.

Even if Ferreira can defend the first time, he will always make mistakes the second and third time.

And AC Milan's offense obviously focuses on his side, which makes Mourinho a little worried.

The Portuguese right back was brought up by Mourinho himself, so he does not doubt Ferreira's role on the court, but he is more of a system player, not an invincible Ultraman in single combat.

And even in the last season when Ferreira played his best, he never took advantage of Giuly and others, not to mention that he is now against Seedorf and Kaka.

One-on-one, relying on Chelsea's tight defense system, maybe Ferreira can still defend the side corridor.

But now Kaka and Seedorf are both targeting him, which makes him very stressed.

And Duff in front of him has almost no defensive ability, and the main task of the Irishman is also to attack. It is basically unrealistic to expect him to withdraw to help keep an eye on Seedorf and Kaka.

But if Ferreira relies on himself, he will probably be embarrassed by the opponent's breakthrough. In serious cases, this guy may have to accept the outcome of being beaten into a sieve by Kaka and Seedorf.

When Mourinho saw that the opponent's offensive spearhead began to target a certain aspect, he was also considering countermeasures. After all, he didn't want to lose this damn game, and he needed to make up for any weaknesses as soon as possible.

In this high-level confrontation, let the opponent catch the weakness, then you just wait to lose.

Even Mourinho himself said that there is no omnipotent defense in the world. As long as people are still playing football, even if you are given five Maldinis, you will have a gap at some time.

What's more, Chelsea's defense has not reached that natural level. Although they have maintained the record of the fewest goals conceded in the Premier League for a season, in the Champions League, AC Milan is obviously better at defense than them, and can also cause trouble for anyone in the offense, including Chelsea.

Fatty Ancelotti is not as prominent as Mourinho, and also has less attention. Only when Berlusconi talks about his shortcomings behind his back will people think of such a fat man.

Many times, Ancelotti hides behind people and keeps silent. Whether it is victory or failure, he seems very low-key, and people often forget the existence of this guy, but this does not mean that Ancelotti is worse than Mourinho in on-the-spot command. He may have more experience in finals than the Portuguese.

Except for those reporters who are unwilling to mention this, even Mourinho does not deny it privately.

AC Milan's counterattack was a decisive blow arranged by Ancelotti. This fat man who usually looks very amiable also showed his ferocity when playing this kind of risky game.

The order Ancelotti gave to the players in the midfield was to make the offense continuous. He dared to let Pirlo press from the backcourt, just to have one more point in the frontcourt to participate in the offense.

"Don't be afraid of the gap behind you being caught by the opponent. We are already behind in the score, so we must press forward without hesitation. Don't consider the consequences. There is no worse result than now."

The fat man had already relieved the pressure on all the players during the halftime break. Indeed, it couldn't be worse now. From leading to falling behind, AC Milan now has no way out.

Either you fight the opponent to the end, or you are beaten into a sieve by the opponent. There is no difference.

Anyway, either the attack is successful or the opponent uses the old tactics of defensive counterattack to completely destroy it into slag.

"Let the attack be in stages to put pressure on the opponent. Even a steel-like defense line will have cracks."

This is the last sentence that Fatty An told the players in the locker room. He may not have considered whether Lin Yi will continue to exploit the gap in defense. The score is behind, so he has no time to think about those things. According to this fat man's schedule, he must strive to equalize the score within fifteen minutes.

If such an attack is dragged by the opponent's defense for a long time, then the opponent will naturally get used to it, especially a guy like Mourinho, he will definitely find a way to deal with it calmly.

But Ancelotti was lucky. He had an ultimate killer like Inzaghi who could deliver a fatal blow in front of the goal. He didn't have to wait too long. Two minutes into the second half, the score was equalized.

No wonder Ancelotti excitedly ran to the sidelines to hug Inzaghi. It was that guy who saved AC Milan and Fatty Ancelotti. He didn't let the torment keep testing Ancelotti.

Just as Sacchi commented, "Inzaghi's goal made the game full of suspense again."

This is not just a suspense rebirth. This goal directly made the Italians slow down and burst out the momentum that a giant team should have. In the confrontation between the two teams, they once again had the upper hand.

At this time, Ancelotti didn't actually breathe a sigh of relief. He didn't want the game to return to the straightforward mode. He needed the players to take down the opponent in one go.

Especially after Inzaghi's lightning strike worked, he needed the team to continue the attack.

Let Pirlo advance from the backcourt to maintain the intensity of the attack. If he retreated to continue defending at this time, it would be likely to be pressed back to the half by Chelsea like in the first half.

With the lesson learned in the first half, Ancelotti doesn't want to repeat such a bad feeling, so even if he has to take risks, he has to let the team continue to attack and let Chelsea feel this pressure.

Just like Ancelotti's tactical arrangement, AC Milan's players attacked very frantically after equalizing the score, from Shevchenko to Inzaghi, from Kaka to Pirlo, all of them were attacking.

Less than two minutes after Inzaghi scored, it was Chelsea's chance to press forward, but Gattuso stretched out his foot in time to disrupt the attack before Lampard passed the ball to Lin Yi.

Not only did Gattuso disrupt the attack, but his tackle also allowed Seedorf, who was wandering in the midfield, to find a chance to pass the ball. He immediately passed the ball directly to Kaka, who had already rushed to the side again.

Kaka challenged Ferreira, and his speed advantage gave him the initiative. After using a fake move to start and break through Ferreira's defense, Kaka passed the ball directly to the penalty area from the left rib. Shevchenko shot a half-volley before Terry blocked it, but Cech saved his shot again.

However, Inzaghi, who ghosted into the penalty area from the other side, still scared Cech, who had already fallen to the ground to complete the save. This time, it was thanks to the Czech player that the ball did not slip away.

Otherwise, no one knew whether the ghost-like Inzaghi would sneak attack again.

Even Mourinho was a little restless on the sidelines. He shouted loudly at Carvalho, "Watch that guy to death, don't let him slip away from you so easily! Remember, watch him to death!"

It is estimated that Mourinho, like Cech, can't stand Inzaghi's ghostly running. Who knows when that guy will suddenly come and hit your heart hard.

Mourinho didn't want to see that scene appear on the big screen again. He was fed up with the cheers of the Italians. Now he and Chelsea didn't want to be the victim of Inzaghi's comeback.

Carvalho didn't want to keep a close eye on Inzaghi, but this guy was even more like a ghost than Lin Yi. You didn't know when the shadow around you would disappear.

This was the second time in a row. Carvalho was already fully focused, but he couldn't keep up with Inzaghi's running position, and every time he would let that guy seize the opportunity to grab the point.

Before this supplementary shot, Seedorf's long pass from the midfield was also the same. Inzaghi, who was already running at high speed, had no good chance to stop the ball, and Carvalho followed very closely.

It can be said that as long as the kid stopped the ball, Carvalho was sure to steal the ball immediately.

But Inzaghi's choice was so direct that he might not have considered stopping the ball at all.

This guy actually raised his body horizontally in the air when the football was about to fly out two or three meters from the bottom line, and shot a sliding shot in an extremely awkward way.

At the moment when this shot was completed, Inzaghi slid directly out of the bottom line, but his choice directly avoided Carvalho's defense. How can you defend this shot? There is no way to defend it!

If Cech hadn't blocked the near corner at that time, maybe the ball would have gone into the net again.

Maybe at this moment, many guys who have been doubting Ancelotti's substitution choice can shut up.

Inzaghi was not defeated by injuries. That guy is still the most effective killer in front of the goal. Just like the expressions of Cech and Mourinho at this moment, seeing Inzaghi is as scary as seeing a ghost.

Even Crespo has lost the depressed expression when he was just substituted. Maybe the Argentine now knows that although he performed well, he is not as crazy as Inzaghi.

It was an explosion after a long backlog, and Inzaghi's explosion drove the whole team.

Ancelotti stood on the sidelines, always telling the players with his hands to press forward! Press forward firmly!

Don't retreat. In such a competitive situation, don't relax. Keep it up and put pressure on the opponent. Don't give up the midfield control easily. Just keep pressing.

Defense? Sorry, AC Milan is not going to win the game by defense now. Now they have to use offense to crush Chelsea's defense! Use goals to complete another score reversal!

This is a bloody confrontation. Only those who stand to the end are qualified to take the trophy.

(Nothing to say, Happy Dragon Boat Festival, I wish everyone happiness, the rice dumplings are so sweet, haha...)
