The faces of AC Milan players became unfavorable. They saw hope, and Livermore shot and sent them to hell again.

The gap between the two goals was once again weighed on their hearts, making AC Milan players feel the burden on their shoulders, but the two goals were not an absolute gap. If they could catch up with two goals, they could still tie.

After thinking about this, AC Milan regained confidence.

After the game started again, AC Milan continued to attack Mirwall at the halftime. They actively ran and fought actively, and also played smooth cooperation. As AC Milan showed its wonderful performance, the Milan fans in the stands cheered and became louder again.

Many people figured it out!

Although Mirwall scored the goal, AC Milan has not lost yet, just two goals apart. Many fans and media believe that with AC Milan's strength and performance, there is definitely a chance to catch up.

Milan fans cheered the team with shouts, while Italian media used analysis to help AC Milan ‘speak’ a good situation. “4-2, it seems that Mirvoir has an advantage, but don’t forget that this is at San Siro Stadium. The first half is not over, and two goals are nothing to AC Milan!”

The Italian media's analysis is completely brainless and they have no choice but to do so, because AC Milan is Italian football and has the only hope in the UEFA Champions League. Among the top four teams, three of them are England teams. The Italian media hopes that AC Milan can beat the other three Premier League teams and win the UEFA Champions League trophy. At that time, the British will definitely stop. There is nothing more happy than shattering the British's dream of a civil war in the Champions League final.

If AC Milan wants to win the Champions League, they have to pass Mirwall first.

Next, the Italian media conducted various analysis of the game, using various examples, tactical analysis, performance analysis, etc. to show that AC Milan has more advantages than Mirwall, and it shows that AC Milan is easy to score two goals.

These analyses are very evident, sounding very exciting, and people can't help but nod, as if the game is like this, but no matter how good the analysis is, it cannot affect the game.

In the rest of the first half, AC Milan scored an advantage in the situation, suppressing Mirwall and gained three shots, but until the referee blew the ending whistle, they did not score a goal, and the score was still 4-2.

Time enters intermission.

The players of the two teams returned to the locker room separately, and their mentality was completely opposite.

When Mirwall players walked off the court, they all had a relaxed smile on their faces, while AC Milan players all had heavy faces. Few of them spoke, and most of them walked back to the locker room quickly.

In Millwall locker room.

Zhang Yang was the first to come back. He kept waiting for the players to return. After everything came back, he smiled and praised the players' performance. "I played very well in the first half, so continue to play like this! I would like to emphasize one more thing: you must play steadily, don't rush to advance, don't rush to find opportunities, pass, cooperate, and run, you must be more stable. The opponent is much more anxious than us!"

Zhang Yang repeatedly emphasized defense, "Defense is more important! As long as they don't score goals, we will win. In the second half, they will definitely become more and more urgent, and all we need to do is stick to it. When defending, it is enough to leave one person in the frontcourt!"

Next, Zhang Yang arranged his second half of the game.

The overall formation and personnel have not changed. Zhang Yang mainly emphasizes defense, because he has two goals advantages, and doing a good job of defense can make him more patient than AC Milan.

There is no doubt that Millwall is more patient.

AC Milan will definitely be more and more anxious. If they cannot tie for a long time, they will not have the energy to take into account the defense in the backcourt, and it will be Mirwall's opportunity at that time.

This style of play has a general term - defensive counterattack.

Mirwall is going to play defensive counterattacks, two backs, four backs, and three forwards who keep pulling back, the defensive intensity is enough. A fast speed and excellent skilled Darren Bent stays in front, which is enough to pose a fatal threat to AC Milan.

AC Milan locker room.

Silence is the main theme.

Ancelotti stood in the middle of the crowd. He looked at the players' expressions, first coughed lightly, attracting all his attention, and then spoke and analyzed the first half to explain that "I didn't play an advantage, it was not that I didn't play well, but that I was lucky," to cheer up the AC Milan players.

This is a necessary approach.

The first half was one-to-one. Considering the two-round score, AC Milan was definitely not happy. Every player had a heavy eye in his heart, so he had to find a way to relax.

After a little encouragement, Ancelotti talked about the strategy for the second half, and he mainly emphasized the offense.

There is no other option in AC Milan.

Mirwall leads two goals and has absolute initiative. They have flexible choices. They can attack or defend in the game. AC Milan is different. When they are behind, it is meaningless to emphasize defense. They must take the initiative and launch a high-intensity offensive to have hope of tying the score.

The second half began soon.

At the opening stage, AC Milan launched an extremely strong offensive and suppressed Mirwall for five consecutive minutes. They kept finding ways to break through Mirwall's defense line.

Straight pass, high lift, breakthrough, etc.

AC Milan's offense was indeed very exciting, but facing Mirwall's full-line defense, they found it difficult to find an effective way to score.

During the halftime break, Ancelotti talked about many ways to score, and AC Milan wanted to try it on the court. Among them, they rely on Kaka and Pirlo to break through, and directly pass the ball to the goal, allowing players such as Giladino and Seedorf to compete for the points, and rely on cooperation to pull the space to insert Kafu and others, so that capable players can provide space for long shots.

etc.

These methods of scoring are not very effective.

Perhaps it was because of the player's performance problem that Brazilian star Kaka, who was highly anticipated by Italian media and Milan fans, has fallen into the quagmire of defense. Under Livermore's strict control, he has no room for starting a new start under Livermore's strict defense, let alone making a personal breakthrough.

There are differences when dribbling the ball.

Players like Pirlo are best at controlling the ball in small areas. His foot skills are quite flexible, so he has become a "football control master". If you want to grab the ball under Pirlo's feet, you must be prepared to be shaken by.

Kaka is also good at breaking through, but it is completely opposite to the Pirlo type.

Kaka is the kind of player who is good at speed. When he drives the ball, it is difficult to be stopped. With his super explosive power and speed, he only needs a directional change action, which is enough to surpass the defensive player.

The most feared thing for this type of player is intensive defense.

In a small space, explosive power and speed cannot be exerted, and even if you get the ball, you can't rush up. If you want to surpass someone, you must rely on your ability to control the football.

Facing Millwall's intensive defense, Kaka was a little lost. Not to mention rushing to pass by, he was a problem with connecting the ball. Livermore has always stood beside Kaka, and Millwall players nearby will come to assist in defense, so Kaka can't cooperate with his teammates normally.

Kaka's point was blocked, and AC Milan's goal was also greatly affected.

At this time, the most threatening player in AC Milan team became Pirlo.

Pirlo has always stood outside the penalty area and rarely ran into it, but he is a game commander, and his teammates are happy to pass the ball. Pirlo's personal rhythm is a bit slow. He often stops the ball, controls the ball, and then glances at his teammate's position, passes the football to the most appropriate point, or directly finds an opportunity to pass it straight into the penalty area, posing a threat to Mirwall's goal.

This style of play is effective.

No defense line can be without loopholes. The opponent's players keep running in the penalty area and may also actively create loopholes. If Pirlo is allowed to play like this, it will be only a matter of time before Mirwall is scored. Morris waved immediately and asked Branif to pay more attention to Pirlo and not let the opponent pass the ball so easily.

This is of some use.

Braniff's defensive ability is not bad, at least it is much better than Simpson and other forward players. Even if he just stands next to Pirlo, the opponent will not be so casual when controlling the ball and cannot pass it steadily.

Among Millwall, Morris performed the best.

Pirlo is the commander of AC Milan's offense, and Morris is the commander of Millwall's defense.

Morris not only commanded his teammates to defend, but also kept running, helping Millwall set up a defense line at the front of the penalty area.

This job was usually from Livermore.

Livermore focused on guarding Kaka, and the one who kept running became Morris. Morris' physical fitness was definitely not as good as Livermore, but his running was more efficient. Most of the running could pose a threat to AC Milan's offense and appeared in key positions in the defense.

AC Milan was very distressed by Morris' defense. They tried their best to cooperate and could break through Mirwall's midfield defense, but in the past they had to face a more stable defense line.

The game is in a stalemate.

AC Milan cannot break through Mirwall's goal. Under AC Milan's suppression, Mirwall has too few players in the frontcourt and it is difficult to counterattack.

Neither team could score.

This form is beneficial to Millwall because Millwall has a score advantage.

As time slowly passed, AC Milan became more and more impatient, and in contrast, Mirwall gradually threatened to attack.

Seeing Mirwall's fast break and threatening AC Milan's goal continuously, the Italian media were a little anxious.

At this time, the British BBC live broadcast camera switched to the Millwall coaching seat, and Zhang Yang walked to the sidelines with a relaxed smile on his face, holding his chest with his hands.

When Zhang Yang noticed the camera lens, he turned his head and faced the camera, and the smile on his face became stronger and stronger. At the same time, the index finger and middle finger of his right hand were raised at the same time, and a victory gesture with the word "v" was made in front of his neck, which made the meaning of the expression very obvious.

Leinker interpreted, "Zhang Yang has made a declaration of victory!"

"His actions are a bit secret, but it is understandable that AC Milan is currently behind two goals, and then openly announces victory, may anger Milan fans..."

ps: It is said that the World Cup score is popular. Argentina fights France tonight. It is probably not easy to play between the two teams, so the probability of a draw is relatively high?

Xiao x also predicted: 1:1 in the regular time, no goals were scored in overtime, and Argentina won the penalty shootout.
Chapter completed!
