ball at foot

For some reason, as soon as he saw the Milan players on the opposite side, Zhao Yaning suddenly thought of a poem: In this gate last year, people's faces are full of peach blossoms.

Zhao Yaning himself is not a person who has read many books, but he has heard of this poem.However, he didn't understand the meaning of this poem until now—although, it may be far from the original meaning, after all, the original meaning should be about love, and Zhao Yaning now uses Li Ai to describe his enemy .However, Zhao Yaning really felt that he understood the meaning of these words.Although, he felt that there should be some more suitable poems, but he didn't read much, so he couldn't remember them.

The current Milan is already in the final stage of reaching its peak. They are no longer the time when they were all-powerful two years ago. There is an old and twilight breath rushing towards them. Zhao Yaning feels that it is already possible for them Smell it.

Milan two years ago was so high-spirited. They had a defense line that was hard to come by in the game. They had the best strikers. Inzaghi didn't even have a chance to sit on the bench. They still had an excellent team. The midfielder could squeeze Rivaldo out of position and had to leave Milan.Their control ability and distribution ability were number one in the world at that time - but, two years later, they are really old.

Cafu and Karadze have lost their main positions, and Maldini has broken various records for the oldest age together this season.Inzaghi has scored a lot this season, and the total number of goals in the European war has even reached 56. He will soon catch up with Raul's European war scoring record, but even so, people cannot ignore it. His age is already very old. [

Milan is really old... Two years ago, we were still the weak who challenged the strong, but now, we have already surpassed you.

Milan has been the strongest team in the world since 03. Although due to various reasons—Juventus’ suppression in the league, the Champions League was reversed in 04,05 and 06, and they died of misjudgment in [-]. They died very wrongly. It also makes them not have enough honor until now.

This is also their last chance, but what I have to do is to kill their chance to break through the sky.Zhao Yaning felt a little bit sad in his heart: seeing others getting old, he couldn’t help but feel a little imaginative.

However, this also made him firm in an idea: give them a ride, a warrior must die like a warrior.

"In this game, Liverpool wore red and Milan wore white. This is the second time the two teams have met in the Champions League final in three years, and it is also the fourth consecutive time that Liverpool have met a Serie A team in the Champions League final. At the same time, because now England And Italy have 10 Champions League titles each, which is also the 11th Champions League trophy between the two countries. At the same time, Milan has six Champions League trophies and Liverpool has five. A big game."

The commentator was talking about those tentative things, while Zhao Yaning was looking at the opponent's lineup.

The goalkeeper is still Dida - although since 05, the Brazilian's state has plummeted, and he is no longer as brave as the Spider-Man back then, but he is still the most trustworthy goalkeeper in Milan.

On the back line, there is a line of defense composed of Odo, Nesta, Maldini and Jankulovski.

Compared with the super defense line composed of Cafu, Nesta, Stam and Maldini back then, Milan's defense line in this game is really far worse.

However, they still have two proud defenders, Nesta and Maldini.This game is already Maldini's eighth Champions League final - this result has already tied Real Madrid's Gento.And in this game, he also broke the record for the third time as captain, the highest age record except for the goalkeeper, and the age record for the captain of the Champions League final.Maldini's condition is still very good, until now, he is one of the most indispensable backbone of Milan.

And Kaladze and Cafu have already sat on the bench at this time.Although they are younger, their state is no longer suitable for starting.They are no longer the starting players for this game.

As we all know, among the biggest shortcomings of Milan, the attacking ability of the full-backs has declined, which has led to the effective insertion and assisting attacks of the two wingers, and the central defenders are too old to successfully defend high-altitude balls. They are all big problems for Milan's midfielders now.

On Milan's midfield line, three midfielders played together - Gattuso, Pirlo, and Ambrosini all got the start, and in front of them, it was Seedorf and Kaka , the forward line is the veteran Inzaghi.

Such a lineup is not unexpected. Milan's midfielders are only these few who are more useful. Their formation has been predicted before the game.Pirlo is responsible for the organization of the backcourt, Gattuso is responsible for the destruction of the midfield, Ambrosini protects in front of the penalty area, Seedorf does more support work, Kaka is responsible for counterattacks, and Inzaghi is responsible for scoring goals-Milan's set The attack system has had few changes, but it is very powerful.

This season, Ancelotti regained the Christmas tree and let Ambrosini play the main force, enhancing the defense protection.Let Seedorf be promoted from the central midfielder to the midfielder position, and Kaka is responsible for the excessive organization.Such a change, in the final analysis, is due to the decline of Milan's midfield control and had to take defensive measures.Fortunately, this idea was very successful, and the current Milan's defense is running very well.

Because no one has a good enough substitute, it is difficult for them to make any changes. The depth of the lineup determines their game formation.However, even with such a lineup, they should not be underestimated.The role of this set of midfielders is reasonable and almost perfect, but it is still extremely difficult to deal with.

"Milan's formation is exactly as we expected, with a 4321 Christmas tree formation." Huang Jiaxiang said.

In fact, Milan's formation is already approximately 4411.Seedorf often lags behind.It's just that Milan's Christmas tree is famous, so Huang Jiaxiang said so.

On the Liverpool side, they played out their usual style of play.Reina is in goal, the defense is Riise, Carragher, Vidic, Maicon, the midfielder is Mascherano and Alonso as the midfielder, and the midfielder is Zhao Yaning, Gerrard and Figo. , At the forward position, Milito is still the starter. [

"Liverpool's lineup, compared with two years ago, has only five players left who are still the main players, while Milan has retained most of the lineup from two years ago. The number one player. Milan has a lot of experience, But Liverpool are very aggressive, and it is hard to predict who will win this game."

And with the whistle of the referee, the game finally started.

"After the start of the game, both sides played relatively conservatively. Neither of them launched a strong offensive immediately. Too much offensive move..."

The delay in launching an attack in the backcourt was not only due to tactical arrangements, but also because Zhao Yaning himself was observing the opponent's strength.

Although before the start of the game, Zhao Yaning expected that the opponent’s defensive strategy, probably after coming up, began to rely on the midfielder Gattuso to sweep and destroy in front, and Ambrosini defended in the back to make up for the position. I had expected it a long time ago, but after all, the game has to be on the field and then look at the state, especially in the face of a strong player like Milan, and it is the Champions League final. Zhao Yaning did not dare to be too careless. Carefully observe the opponent, trying to see the opponent's arrangement before making a plan.

And Zhao Yaning soon discovered that Milan’s cautious arrangement greatly exceeded Zhao Yaning’s expectations.Their three lines are very tightly attached, and it can be said that there is no extra space left. Zhao Yaning observed carefully, but he couldn't find any flaws.This made him also believe: Milan is absolutely prepared for this game, they are menacing and difficult to deal with.

Before the game, Milan rarely announced the closure of the training ground, and the training will not be open to the public.Such an attitude surprised many people at the time, and the media that did not get first-hand news even said that Milan was pretending to be mysterious.However, looking at Milan's current arrangement, Zhao Yaning feels that Milan is really thinking about revenge, and their arrangement is a closed training for revenge.

Then, I must be the focus of their targeting.Zhao Yaning thought about it in his heart.

Because Milan's training materials are not available, and Milan's league matches are not of great reference value, Zhao Yaning carefully watched the two-round match between Milan and Manchester United before the game.He was quite impressed by Kaka's superficial goals in those two rounds, but what surprised him even more was that Ronaldinho was smothered.

Zhao Yaning naturally knew Ronaldinho’s level, and seeing him completely blocked by Milan relying on tactics also made Zhao Yaning quite moved.He really wants to know how good Milan's defense is so that Ronaldinho can't do anything, and if he is facing such a defense, what should he do?

And after the game really started, seeing Milan's tight defense and close response, Zhao Yaning knew that they were indeed extremely good in this regard, and considering their previous special training, it is estimated that They have also carried out special defensive arrangements.However, this also made Zhao Yaning suddenly have the idea of ​​​​trying. He took the ball and started to move forward: his attempt was not because he thought that he would be able to break the opponent's defense by himself. , but he really wants to know how good the opponent's defense is?Should I insist on breaking through, or should I be involved instead?The opponent's defensive strength can largely affect his own way of playing football. Milan's players are relatively old. At this time, Zhao Yaning also wants to find out how their defensive strength is.

Sure enough, as he expected, after he rushed forward a few steps, Gattuso had already stuck over.Zhao Yaning didn’t fight him hard, but took a step towards the sidewalk by himself, avoiding his frontal interception.

However, Gattuso immediately pushed forward, and without hesitation leaned on the opponent Zhao Yaning.

Behind him, Seedorf blocked Zhao Yaning’s passing line, and in front of Zhao Yaning, Odo also rushed over immediately.

It turned out to be the case.

Relying on Gattuso to let me make mistakes, relying on Seedorf to prevent me from playing, and then relying on Otto or Ambrosini to block my attack.

It is indeed a very good cooperation, Zhao Yaning praised in his heart, but it may not be impeccable!
