During the intermission, neither side made any adjustments.

AC Milan gained an advantage in the first half, the advantage of the game, the advantage of the goal, etc., which made Ancelotti think that the team has nothing to change. AC Milan scored two goals and Liverpool scored only one. Although it was difficult for them not to let the opponent's No. 13 play, their tactics so far were successful and the game was also successful. Ancelotti always believed that his AC Milan would definitely defeat Liverpool, relying on its stronger overall strength.

Liverpool's side.

Benitez considered it very simple. Although the team was one goal behind, the team was not too passive in the first half. Although they were one goal behind, they were only half-time games. The team did not have more opportunities than the opponent, but the team had stronger ability to seize opportunities and was just bad luck. So AC Milan scored two, and they only scored one.

That's what football matches are like.

There is no tactic of sure victory, nor is there a game that will definitely win. The one who has more opportunities and performs better.

Benitez believes that Liverpool's overall performance is still good and he has no reason to adjust his tactics.

As for many aspects of being at a disadvantage?

You can't expect two teams with a big gap in overall strength to play evenly, right? What's the point of introducing many big-name stars to the giant teams! AC Milan is originally stronger than Liverpool. Fans know this, the media knows, Benitez himself is even more clear. If Liverpool's midfielder has Kaka, Giladino on the wing, Pirlo, Gattuso on the back, and the four most powerful backs in the backcourt, no matter what tactics he uses, he can also prevent the team from being at a disadvantage when fighting against the opponent.

But Liverpool doesn't.

The combination of Gerald and Alonso is really not as good as Pirlo, Kaka, Gattuso and others. Liverpool can only rely on the "a bit unreliable" Garcia and Riser on the wing. How did these two compare to Girardino, who was known as the best striker in Italy last season, last season?

Backcourt...Hahaha.

In the forward line, Zhang Tiehan is stronger than Shepchenko, that's all. As the saying goes, "A clever woman can't cook without rice." The team has no advantage in line, and it's good to be able to compete with AC Milan in terms of efficiency. This way, the winning rate will not be too low, and there are chips to suppress it. Otherwise, Benitez would have to choose the tactics like the same as last season in Istanbul - a defensive counterattack, and at the same time, he would hand over the victory to God.

No coach likes that.

The coach must control the team and the game, and everything is under control, so that he can play against his opponents. Only by having more confidence can a coach who relies on pure luck never succeed.

As the champion coach, Benitez obviously wouldn't do that.

......

With the expectations of the fans and media of the two teams, the second half will soon begin.

During the intermission, the media talked about the first half. Girardino scored twice. He was the player who was talked about the most in the midfield. His appearance may not be as good as Kaka, but what makes Girardino better than Kaka is that he is an Italian.

His performance was excellent, and Italian fans were naturally happy.

Kaka's performance is also good. He has been mentioned many times during the halftime break, but it means a bit of a foil. After all, he is not an Italian, he is just a Brazilian player. Unless his performance can beat Giladino a lot, he can only serve as a foil - although the latter's two goals are all opportunities he created.

The two were talked about in time, and the common point was that they were compared with Zhang Tiehan.

Last season, Zhang Tiehan left a deep impression on Italian media and fans. He was the first person in the history of the Italian league to win the European Golden Boot Award and the only one. Such a gorgeous performance really makes Italians remember it deeply. Even the AC Milan-based scorer Shepchenko is considered to have a certain gap with Zhang Tiehan.

There is indeed a gap between the two in goals.

Shepchenko himself must admit that he is the focus of European strikers in recent years, but Zhang Tiehan has only been in Rome for one season, and the goals he scored are beyond his reach. Rome is not a top giant like AC Milan. It is easier to score as the core goal in non-top giants, such as Girardino who played for Parma last season, Bent who played for Charlton, and Zhang Tiehan who was in Rome.

But Zhang Tiehan scored too many goals.

One or two more may not be anything. Some people even think that the strikers who play for the giants are better, but if there are ten, eight, or even fifteen or twenty, no one thinks that, so Girardino's net worth is only 20 million, while Zhang Tiehan reaches the level of 40 million.

Such an outstanding striker will always be mentioned with relish.

Now the Italian media talks about the first half of Liverpool and AC Milan. Some people think that Girardino performed better than Zhang Tiehan in this game because he scored two goals, and Zhang Tiehan only scored one.

But this statement obviously has no market in the English media and in the world media.

So what if Girardino scored two goals?

He only made a final goal with two goals. To be honest, the two goals should be counted as all AC Milan players. Even if they refer to the players, they are owned by Kaka and Girardino, not Girardino alone.

What about Zhang Tiehan's goal?

That's what belongs to him. He relies on his personal ability to get rid of defense and finds an opportunity to score the ball. In the process, only Rise passes the ball with one pass, and nothing else is gone. The difficulty of the two goals is obviously not on the same level.

In short, there were many discussions about the two people.

During this discussion, the second half of the game started again. Benitez did not adjust his tactics during the halftime break, and Zhang Tiehan was still the team's first forward, but at the beginning of the game, he did not rush up, but just followed the team's formation.

Often in the game, Zhang Tiehan sometimes retreats slightly. As the second striker, he and Fowler have become very skilled in changing positions. He retreats in front of Fowler, and vice versa. This is the case this time. When Liverpool got the ball, Zhang Tiehan did not rush forward. On the side, Liser dribbled the ball forward. He controlled the ball slightly and transferred it to Alonso. Alonso pushed the ball horizontally. The football reached Zhang Tiehan's feet.

Zhang Tiehan still rushed forward without dribbling the ball.

He just slowly controlled the ball, watching his teammates slowly pressing up, and at the same time ensuring that the formation is not messy. With no one coming to grab the ball, Zhang Tiehan's movements seemed even slower, as if he was deliberately wasting time. If AC Milan hadn't led the lead, Milan fans would probably have shouted for "complaint".

But in fact, Zhang Tiehan is just to let the team make a steady attack. He slowly pushes forward with the ball and lets his teammates find his position, so that the offense will become very stable, which will help everyone quickly enter the game state.

After passing the center line, AC Milan players came to defend.

Shepchenko.

The Ukrainian has stepped back and participated in the defense. Shepchenko was still a little depressed in this game. He did not score a goal, but instead directly competed with Girardino. Now that he saw Liverpool slowly advancing like this, he would run some to defend.

But he had no confidence in facing Zhang Tiehan Shepchenko.

He just came to block and force Zhang Tiehan to pass the ball. As for steals, he couldn't even think about it. Perhaps his personal ability is good in offense. But defense... Who can expect a striker to have a strong defense ability?

This is the first real encounter between Zhang Tiehan and Shepchenko in the game.

Many media and fans are looking forward to these two people, one is the first in the European scorer list and the other is the second in the Champions League scorer list. There will always be many topics to talk about when the two collided. Unfortunately, Zhang Tiehan did not intend to confront Shepchenko at all. Perhaps he thought it would be meaningless to pass Shepchenko, so when he saw Shepchenko coming to intercept, he sent the ball to the left with one kick.

When Garcia received the pass, Liverpool players had already stood in place.

Zhang Tiehan rushed forward over Shepchenko. Fowler had been standing in front of the front, while Riser was on the left and heading towards the penalty area in the middle. Gerald and Alonso lined up in a row in front of the AC Milan penalty area in a horizontal direction.

Garcia has many choices.

He can move his feet to the right, and Lisser may get a chance, and the defense there is relatively weak, or you can choose to hand the ball to Gerald or Alonso in the middle, which is very likely to get a direct chance. Of course, football is also a bit threatening.

In the end, Garcia chose to pass the ball to Zhang Tiehan.

Zhang Tiehan also stopped. He saw that the formation of AC Milan in front was also very stable. It was difficult for Alonso to pass the ball to Gerald. AC Milan's defense uses chain defense and always blocks the dangerous passing route, so Zhang Tiehan handed the ball to Garcia again.

The two passed on each other several times.

They were passing the ball to each other as if they were practicing passing the ball, and then told AC Milan players that if you didn't come and grab the ball, we would keep passing it.

As a result, AC Milan players had no choice either.

They could not allow the two to pass the ball to each other like this. Shepchenko recovered it from the front, Giladino also recovered it, and Gatuso rushed over.

The three people's approaching run made the pass a little threatening.

So the two began to push forward in the pass, one passed by and one went away from Gatuso's interception, but the three were actually aimed at Zhang Tiehan. They didn't think Garcia could have any threat, so when they left Gatuso, Zhang Tiehan still had to face Shepchenko and Girardino... The three of them were in the three Serie A teams last season, constantly competing for the top three rankings of the scorer list. Now they can stand on the same stadium to play football, and they are both offensive and defensive opponents, which is also a topic worth talking about.

But as defense, Shepchenko and Girardino, they don't feel good. They are strikers, shooters, not defensive players. If they can attack and defend from other positions, it would be great. As for the two of them to defend Zhang Tiehan, they have no confidence.

In fact, the same is true.

After handing the ball to Garcia again, Zhang Tiehan shook his mind and overcame the two of them, and then immediately received a pass from Garcia.

It's that simple!

Even if Girardino and Shepchenko knew that they could not defend Zhang Tiehan, they were still a little embarrassed and upset when they were crossed so easily - they were not good at defense, but they would not be able to be passed so easily, so they chased each other.

Other AC Milan players also did not expect that Gattuso, who was following behind, would expect the two of them to stop him. As long as he entangled for a moment, he could catch him back, but he could only watch Zhang Tiehan continue to advance.

AC Milan's defense is still very tight.

The second half was just beginning, and Liverpool made a steady progression. AC Milan naturally had to retreat to defend. All eleven AC Milan players were in the backcourt. Although the formation was a little wide, the defense was still very dense, especially the defense in the middle, which was taken care of. Although Zhang Tiehan was actually still on the wing, they knew that the threat on the wing was not big. If Zhang Tiehan had been on the wing, they would be happy - Gerald, Alonso, and Fowler were really not big!

Zhang Tiehan crossed the attacks between Shepchenko and Girardino and wanted to cut into the middle - just like the goal in the first half. But at this time Nesta came over.

Zhang Tiehan's goal in the first half impressed AC Milan players, especially Nesta. He knew that without a real defender, Zhang Tiehan would easily kick in front of the penalty area. In that case, it would be difficult for him to defend.

He trusts himself more than the opponent's defensive ability.

Nesta came over. Zhang Tiehan was also a little helpless. He just wanted to copy the goal in the first half. But a world-class defender like Nesta would definitely not give him the chance to shoot at will. It is very difficult to dribble the ball horizontally along the front of the opponent's penalty area.

He followed three players - Shepchenko, Girardino, and Gattuso.

The three of them followed him all the time, and he didn't dare to stop, otherwise he would fall into a pinch. He knew his skills very well. Although he could occasionally show some excellent ball control skills, Spanish players who really rely on skills to make a living, such as Iniesta, Ronaldinho and others, could not think of anything. If the three of them double-teamed themselves, he could not control the ball at all, and the only consequence would be to be cut off.

He can only continue to lead forward!

Zhang Tiehan used his body to carry Nesta to protect the ball and carry the ball horizontally, without any chance to make a foot. At this time, he discovered a loophole - he attracted too much defense himself, and AC Milan's defense on the right was much empty, and there was relatively relaxed space around Lisse, especially when he ran forward towards him.

Zhang Tiehan passed the ball without hesitation.

Just as AC Milan players were still paying attention to the trajectory of the football and paying attention to the Liser who was about to catch the ball, Zhang Tiehan had already stopped urgently and then turned around and rushed towards the penalty area.

Nesta's mind was frozen for a moment when he was doing Zhang Tiehan.

But he still knew what he should do, and no matter what, he would follow Zhang Tiehan. But even though he thought so, Nesta was not as flexible as Zhang Tiehan. When he stopped and wanted to keep up, Zhang Tiehan had already started.

On the left, Liser seemed to affect Zhang Tiehan's movements. He did not stop the ball at all, but pushed the ball directly against the ball, and the football flew from the grass to the middle of the penalty area.

Zhang Tiehan has been paying attention to Liser's pass with "control".

But his position was actually a bit awkward. He just started to throw away Nesta, but found that he rushed forward. One way to rush too fast would not be able to receive the pass, and the other way would be offside, so he slowed down and Nesta came to him again.

The two of them fought head-on.

The football also hung over. Zhang Tiehan still had a good advantage in terms of physical fitness. He forced Nesta to leave room for catch with himself, but he could not jump at all. Nesta was squeezed behind him, and his back was facing the goal. Zhang Tiehan could only stop the ball with his chest, but during the squeezing, the stop ball was not stable. The football hit his chest and bounced out more than a meter to the left.

Seeing this scene, Milan fans all sighed.

They feel safe.

The same is true for the various commentators. They also felt that after the suspension failed, Liverpool's attack was over. They just wanted to say something, but they immediately shut up.

When the football hit the chest and bounced out, Zhang Tiehan squeezed Nesta with force behind him, then turned around forcibly, and then swayed his right leg.
