Chapter 487: Win the first round(1/2)
AC Milan was a little confused. They worked hard for a long time before they equalized the score with Pirlo's direct free kick. Mirvoor immediately overturned the score. The celebration just now seemed to have become a joke, and everyone on the court looked very good.
Another thing that is unacceptable is that the young striker who scored the goal was still the one who scored the goal.
Valdi?
Every AC Milan player remembers this name.
The same goes for Italian media.
When Vardy scored the first goal, many media thought it was "lucky". They attributed the reason for the goal to the cooperation of other Millwall players. Vardy only had a last shot.
It's different now.
When Vardy scored the second goal, anyone must face the young player. Being able to break through AC Milan twice in one game cannot simply be attributed to luck.
Not to mention Vardy's technical strength, just facing the goal mentality is not comparable to ordinary strikers.
When an ordinary striker faces AC Milan goal, he will be very excited even if he just dribbles the ball to the front of the goal. The close will directly affect the quality of the shot. Vardy maintains a calm mind and prepares to send the ball into the net twice. He already has the psychological qualities that a top striker should have.
No matter how Vardy is, AC Milan is very depressed.
Millwall's goal to overtake again gave them a huge blow to morale. After the game started again, many players still did not recover. They all thought that both sides scored two consecutive goals, and they were like they were in a dream when entering the game, and they comforted themselves that the score was still one-to-one.
Of course that won't do anything.
However, from the perspective of scores, ‘2-1’ is stronger than ‘1-0’, and they are all one goal behind, and there is a away goal with 2-1.
AC Milan returned to home court and could easily eliminate Mirwall with a 1-0 option.
British BBC TV commentator Leinker also analyzed, "Vardy scored twice, helping Mirwall score the second goal, leading AC Milan again in the score, but AC Milan's situation is better than the opening of the second half, and they also scored at least one away goal."
"If the game ends here, AC Milan should still be able to accept it. Judging from the two-round matchup, 2-1 is actually equivalent to a draw, and the home advantage is still very large. When returning to San Siro Stadium, AC Milan still has a good chance."
AC Milan probably won't think so.
AC Milan comes with the mentality of "playing enough advantages". They need to end the game in one round and devote all their energy to the Serie A. However, the reality is very bad. If they don't say "playing enough advantages", it is not easy to be able to "play just as good as possible". At this point in the game, every player knows that they will definitely not be able to achieve their set goals.
But being overtaken is not a failure. In two rounds of games, one goal away from home is nothing.
After the game started again, AC Milan continued to strengthen its offense, hoping to score goals in the future. As long as one more goal is scored, it will make the second round easier.
This is also a goal.
However, AC Milan soon found that it was still very difficult to score a goal, because Mirwall decisively retreated, and the opponent did not take advantage of the goal to continue to attack the frontcourt, but instead retreated rationally to strengthen the defense.
This decisive choice made AC Milan unable to help but curse, and also made them more clear that the goal just now was a sneak attack that the opponent had agreed to.
Millwall's defense is still very stable.
Until now, AC Milan has no more contempt for Mirwall. Mirwall can not only make a gorgeous offensive, but also have a very stable defense line.
Many AC Milan players feel a little overwhelmed when they see Mirwall's defense. It is not easy for them to rely on exquisite cooperation to break through the defense line. It is also very difficult to rely on the stars' personal performance. Just look at how tight Kaka is defended.
When Zhang Yang saw the players' choices, he couldn't help but give a thumbs up in his heart.
"Just fight like this!"
After a successful sneak attack, don’t be lucky and immediately retreat to defend. The most correct choice is to go back and forth.
This is definitely due to Morris.
Morris is the captain on the court. How the team plays as a whole depends on his command on the court. The captain's command is very important. The coaching team can only specify tactics. Tactics are a general thing. When it comes to the field, the changes will be very large. The players still need to play temporarily. The performance of each player is combined to make the entire tactical system operate. However, tactical operation does not mean that everything goes according to tactical regulations.
For example, the raid just now was done by the players temporarily, and the tactics cannot be stipulated to do so. After the raid is over, some players will probably want to continue to expand the score, while some players will want to retreat to defense. Each player has a different idea. If there is no captain's command, it is likely to be a mess.
At this time, the role of the captain is very important.
Morris chose to let the team return to its established tactics and continue to stabilize the defense and deal with AC Milan's possible mad attack. It is still very appropriate to do it, because it is already quite good to succeed in a sneak attack. If you are lucky, you may lose the advantage you have made.
The situation of the next game seems to have been concluded. Many media and commentators believe that there is only one highlight in the remaining time: whether AC Milan can score a goal.
The fans of the two teams who watched the game also thought so.
AC Milan's overall performance is pretty good. Their offense is enough to suppress Mirwall. Even if they are sneak attacked and scored a goal, the advantage in the situation has not changed. Mirwall cannot win back the overall situation just because of the goal. AC Milan will be very alert to the defense. It will not be easy for Mirwall to attack again.
AC Milan coach Ancelotti has the same view on the game. He does not think that Mirvoor still has a chance, and the remaining games will belong to AC Milan, but whether AC Milan can seize the opportunity depends on the performance of the players on the court.
The same goes for Zhang Yang's analysis.
But Zhang Yang is different from others. He is the most special one. He is not an ordinary coach, but a head coach with a "power plug-in". It is precisely because of this that although he has the same view on the game, he has the ability to make some small changes in the development of the game.
The 83rd minute of the game was the moment when Zhang Yang made changes.
Taking advantage of the end of AC Milan's attack, Mirwall launched a quick counterattack.
Although it is a quick counterattack, Mirwall has a limited number of players invested in the counterattack, because it will be AC Milan's turn to attack after the attack. If it is intercepted in the middle, AC Milan will re-launch its offensive, and the defense in the backcourt must be guaranteed.
Even if they counterattack, there would not be a large group of players rushing up, only Darren Bent, Braniff and Simpson on the wing went up.
Darren Bent is in the front.
Simpson's side support.
Braniff ran wildly to find opportunities. This time, Braniff finally showed his superb footwork skills. His continuous shaking made Gatuso angrily tackle, but Braniff jumped flexibly and dodged Gatuso's interception.
Gattuso lay on the ground and couldn't chase him back.
Braniff continued to lead forward. When Nesta came over, he immediately prepared to pass the ball to his teammates, but there was Stam next to Darren Bent, and Simpson leaned a little too far. He decided to continue leading forward and use his body to protect the ball.
Under Nesta's interference, Branif rushed forward several steps. He was almost at the penalty area line and was about to face the clamping defense of other AC Milan players.
Braniff had to pass the ball.
Nesta thought so, and others thought so, but after Braniff made a way to divide the side, he suddenly pulled the ball into the inside, then waved his right foot to prepare for a shot.
Braniff flashed out of space slightly, and Nesta was too late to stop him even if he had been deceived.
This shot is very difficult.
Braniff did not wave his feet in the rhythm of dribbling the ball, but after pulling the ball inside, it was difficult to put a little force on his legs with a small amount of force. Nesta was still on one side, blocking most of the angles.
Many people don't have hope.
Zhang Yang is a special one, and he actually has no choice. This is the best opportunity from just now. If he drags the time back, he can't guarantee that the team will still have shots.
so--
"Goal!"
With the principle of "no need to regret the ability", Zhang Yang decisively used the "word and method to follow". Whether he can enter depends on this time.
result……
Braniff scored the ball!
The process of scoring is simply the limit. The football crawled through Nesta's feet and quickly rolled towards the dead corner on the left side of the goal. To describe it as "rolling", the ball speed must be unfast. Even if there is a bonus of "speaking and following the way", Braniff's movements are a bit awkward, and it is impossible to exert much force.
The point is that goalkeeper Dida was completely blocked from his vision.
Nesta was facing Braniff, blocking most angles while blocking Dida's vision. Dida had no idea that Braniff was going to shoot. When he realized that the football had come, he immediately rushed over to the side, but when he reached the position, the football had already rolled across the goal line at a speed that made people sweat.
Then, Dida held the ball down.
Of course, that has no meaning anymore. The referee announced that the goal was valid without hesitation. The scoreboard hanging above Neal's Stadium was also rewritten as "3:1".
"Hula"
The Neal Stadium audience was once again trapped in a sea of cheering.
Braniff's goal was too surprising, which was a surprise for Mirwall. It was really unacceptable for AC Milan. They tried their best to attack, but the opponent scored a goal, and the score gap was widened.
3 to 1!
This score is too bleak!
After the game started again, AC Milan players were in a state of difficulty. They didn't know what they were playing in the chaotic offense. Mirwall continued to strengthen their defense, and the whole team united to defend the goal.
When the referee announced the end of the game, the score on the scoreboard was not rewritten.
Mirwall beat AC Milan 3-1.
When the game ended, Mirwall cheered up and down, and AC Milan players breathed a sigh of relief. They felt that the game was like a nightmare. They worked hard for a long time but couldn't score the goal, and the opponent always scored inexplicably.
This kind of game is so depressing.
AC Milan head coach Ancelotti also felt very depressed. The team had advantages throughout the game, but the advantages did not translate into goals. The opponent scored two goals in the second half, which was like a joke.
"Football game is really possible." Ancelotti smiled bitterly, but he also had to accept reality.
Millwall cheered up and down.
Although it was just a first round, it was quite amazing to be able to reach 3-1 at home. Two goals were enough to give Millwall a huge advantage, and the second round was much easier.
AC Milan players all left the stadium with their heads hanging down. They all wanted to leave the stadium quickly and take a plane back to Milan, Neal Stadium and London, which has become a nightmare.
Perhaps after returning to Milan and reexamine the game, they can also regain their confidence.
It is a routine etiquette to shake hands between the two head coaches.
Zhang Yang shook hands with Ancelotti with a smile. He was so satisfied with the game.
Zhang Yang is satisfied with the players' performance. They rely on their own performance to play wonderful games and also help the team to have advantages. In addition, the team's luck is also good, or he is lucky himself. The final "speaking and speaking" also helped the team score a goal, and the difference between the two goals is enough to form a huge advantage.
Ancelotti was waiting for Zhang Yang to come over.
